However, shareholders attending the AGM will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the Company and the Auditor questions about, or make comments on, the Financial Report and the management of the Company.

Resolution 1: Remuneration Report

Shareholders are asked to adopt the Company’s Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 (“ Remuneration Report ”). The Remuneration Report can be viewed on the Redbubble Investor Centre website at: shareholders.redbubble.com under the ‘Investor Information’ tab.

Board recommendation

The Directors recommend (with Mr Lockwood abstaining) that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 4.

Resolution 5: Renewal Of Proportional Takeover Approval Provisions In Constitution

Background

The Corporations Act permits a company to include in its constitution provisions prohibiting the registration of a transfer of securities resulting from a proportional takeover bid, unless the relevant holders of the securities in a meeting approve the bid.

It is a requirement of the Corporations Act that such provisions in a company’s constitution apply for a maximum period of three years, unless earlier renewed.

In the case of the Company, the Constitution was adopted by shareholders in 2016 and the proportional takeover bid approval provisions (existing Rule 82 of the Constitution) have not since been renewed and have ceased to apply.

The Directors consider that it is in the best interests of shareholders to renew these provisions in their existing form. Accordingly, a special resolution is being put to shareholders under section 648G of the Corporations Act to renew Rule 82 of the Constitution.

If renewed by shareholders at the meeting, Rule 82 will operate for three years from the date of the meeting (ie, until 25 October 2024), subject to further renewal.

11

==> picture [196 x 86] intentionally omitted <==

Effect of provisions

The effect of Rule 82 of the Constitution, as renewed, will be that where a proportional takeover bid is made for securities in the Company (ie, a bid is made for a specified proportion, but not all, of each holder’s bid class securities), the Directors must convene a meeting of holders of the relevant securities to vote on a resolution to approve that bid. The meeting must be held, and the resolution voted on, at least 15 days before the offer period under the bid ends.

To be passed, the resolution must be approved by a majority of votes at the meeting, excluding votes by the bidder and its associates. However, the Corporations Act also provides that, if the meeting is not held within the time required, then a resolution to approve the proportional takeover bid will be deemed to have been passed.

If the resolution to approve the proportional takeover bid is passed or deemed to have been passed, the transfer of securities resulting from acceptance of an offer under that bid will be permitted, and the transfers registered, subject to the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.

If the resolution is rejected, the registration of any transfer of shares resulting from an offer under the proportional takeover bid will be prohibited, and the bid deemed to be withdrawn.

Rule 82 of the Constitution, as renewed, will not apply to full takeover bids.

Reasons for proposing the resolution

The Board considers that shareholders should have the opportunity to vote on a proposed proportional takeover bid.

In the absence of Rule 82 of the Constitution, as renewed, a proportional takeover bid for the Company may enable effective control of the Company to be acquired by a person who has not offered to acquire 100% of the Company’s shares (and, therefore, has not offered to pay a ‘control premium’ that reflects 100% ownership).

As a result, if a proportional takeover bid for the Company is made:

  • shareholders may not have the opportunity to dispose of all their shares; and

  • shareholders risk becoming part of a minority interest in the Company or suffering loss following such a change of control if the market price of the Company’s shares decreases or the Company’s shares become less attractive and, accordingly, more difficult to sell.

If Rule 82 of the Constitution is renewed, the Board considers that this risk will be minimised by enabling shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid should be permitted to proceed.

12

==> picture [196 x 86] intentionally omitted <==

Present acquisition proposals

At the date of this notice, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

Review of proportional takeover approval provisions

The Corporations Act requires these Explanatory Notes to discuss retrospectively the advantages and disadvantages, for directors and members, of the proportional takeover provision proposed to be renewed.

While the proportional takeover approval provisions have been in effect, there have been no takeover bids for the Company, either proportional or otherwise.

Consequently, there are no actual examples against which to review the advantages or disadvantages of the existing proportional takeover approval provisions contained in Rule 82 of the Constitution. The Directors are not aware of any potential takeover bid which was discouraged by Rule 82 of the Constitution.

Potential advantages and disadvantages

In addition to a retrospective discussion of the provisions proposed to be renewed, the Corporations Act also requires these Explanatory Notes to discuss the potential future advantages and disadvantages of the proposed rule for both directors and members.

The Directors consider that there are no such advantages or disadvantages for them as they remain free to make a recommendation on whether a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

For members, the potential advantages of Rule 82 of the Constitution, as renewed, are that that they will provide all relevant holders with the opportunity to consider, discuss in a meeting called specifically for the purpose, and vote on whether a proportional takeover bid should be approved. This affords the relevant holders of shares an opportunity to have a say in the future ownership and control of the Company and help the members to avoid being locked into a minority. The Directors believe this will encourage any proportional takeover bid to be structured so as to be attractive to at least a majority of the relevant holders of shares. It may also discourage the making of a proportional takeover bid that might be considered opportunistic. Finally, knowing the view of a majority of the relevant holders of shares may help each individual holder to assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid and decide whether or not to accept an offer under the bid.

On the other hand, a potential disadvantage for members arising from Rule 82 of the Constitution, if renewed, is that proportional takeover bids may be discouraged by the further procedural steps that the rule will entail and, accordingly, this may reduce any takeover speculation element in the price of the Company’s securities. Shareholders may be denied an opportunity to sell a portion of their

13

==> picture [196 x 86] intentionally omitted <==

securities at an attractive price where the majority rejects an offer from persons seeking control of the Company.

These advantages and disadvantages of Rule 82 have been applicable during the period that the rule was in effect. It should be noted that during the period that Rule 82 was in effect, no takeover bid for securities in the Company (whether proportional or otherwise) has been announced or made.

Board recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 5.

Resolution 6: Alteration of Constitution

It is proposed that the Company's Constitution be amended to reflect changes in law, regulation and market practice since the Constitution was last updated in 2016. The proposed amendments are set out in the Appendix to this explanatory statement.

The key change proposed is to allow the Company to hold general meetings using virtual meeting technology.

The Treasury Laws Amendment (Measures for Consultation) Bill 2021: Use of technology for meetings and related amendments (Bill) was introduced earlier this year to, among other things, allow companies to use technology to hold hybrid meetings (a physical meeting linked with technology that allows for remote participation) and, if expressly permitted by a company's constitution, virtual meetings (a meeting where all members participate using virtual meeting technology).

As at the date of this notice, the Bill has yet to be approved by the parliament. However, temporary amendments have been made to the Corporations Act enabling companies to hold hybrid or virtual meetings and the Board anticipates that these will eventually become permanent.

The proposed amendments to Rule 30 (and consequential updates to the definition of 'Shareholder Present') will permit the Company to hold shareholder meetings as virtual meetings using virtual meeting technology (or as hybrid meeting, as already permitted under the current Constitution), provided that shareholders as a whole are given a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting.

If the Board elects to use virtual meeting technology for a general meeting, the Board will determine the type of virtual meeting technology to be used, which may include any combination of telephone, video conferencing, messaging, smartphone application or any other audio and/or visual device which permits instantaneous communication.

14

==> picture [196 x 86] intentionally omitted <==

The Directors consider that having the flexibility to hold meetings as hybrid or virtual meetings will improve investor engagement and facilitate continued investor engagement during circumstances where restrictions may prohibit investors from attending meetings in person.

In the course of undertaking its review of the Constitution, the Board has also identified a limited number of minor and technical matters that would benefit from amendment. These proposed amendments are summarised below.

  • ( Rule 9(a) – updating the number of joint holders that may be registered from three to four ) Currently, Rule 9(a) states that the Company is not bound to register more than three persons as the holders of shares. In April 2021, ASX announced the replacement of the existing CHESS clearing system with CHESS Replacement which, broadly speaking, seeks to provide issuers and investors with greater control over, and enhanced confidence in, market activities through timely, secure and simplified access to the register of holders (for issuers), financial assets (for investors) and associated information. The change to Rule 9(a) from three to four joint holders has been proposed to address that CHESS Replacement will allow up to four joint holders of a security. CHESS Replacement is scheduled for implementation in April 2023.

  • (Rule 28 – updating provisions relating to restricted securities) On 1 December 2019, a suite of ASX Listing Rule changes came into effect, including changes to ASX Listing Rule 15.12, which deals with restricted securities. The proposed amendments to Rule 28 reflect the provisions required to be included in an entity's constitution by ASX Listing Rule 15.12. Restricted securities include categories of securities that ordinarily are subject to ASX's mandatory escrow requirements by reference to the circumstances in which they were issued. For instance, securities may be restricted securities if they were issued to a related party, promoter, seed capitalist, vendor or professional adviser or consultant for cash, the sale of classified assets, services rendered, an issue under an employee incentive scheme or some other type of consideration. ASX also has discretion to designate other securities as restricted securities.

  • (Rule 76 – updating the notices provision to facilitate the use of electronic offer documents for offers to shareholders) Under the existing Constitution and the law, it is not clear whether offer documents which are required to be sent to shareholders (for instance, in connection with entitlement offers and share purchase plans) can be sent to shareholders other than in hard copy via the post. The proposed changes to Rule 76 will enable offer documents to be sent electronically to shareholders where the shareholder has elected to receive notices by email, and will also enable the Company to notify shareholders via their preferred method of communication (i.e. hard copy or email) that an offer document is available for them to access electronically. By transitioning to electronic offer documents, these measures will assist the Company to reduce its carbon footprint and save on printing and postage costs, and will enable offer documents to be provided to shareholders quicker than if sent in hard copy via post.

Appendix – Alterations to the Company's Constitution

It is proposed that the Company's Constitution be altered by:

  • (a) in Rule 1, amending the definition of 'Shareholders Present' to read as follows:

'Shareholder Present means, in connection with a general meeting, a shareholder present at the venue or venues for the meeting, in person or by proxy, by attorney or, where the shareholder is a body corporate, by representative (and, for the avoidance of doubt, includes any of those persons attending a general meeting using virtual meeting technology approved by the Directors in accordance with this Constitution).' ;

  • (b) in Rule 9(a), replacing the word 'three' with 'four';

  • (c)

  • replacing the text of Rule 28 with the following;

  • (a) If, at any time, any of the share capital of the Company is classified by the ASX as 'restricted securities', then despite any other provision of this Constitution, the following rules apply.

  • (b) In this Rule 28 unless the context requires otherwise:

  • (i) dispose has the meaning given in the Listing Rules;

  • (ii) Escrow Period means, in relation to Restricted Securities, the escrow period applicable to those Restricted Securities under the Listing Rules;

  • (iii) Restricted Securities has the meaning given in the Listing Rules; and

  • (iv) Restriction Agreement means, in relation to Restricted Securities, a restriction agreement applicable to those Restricted Securities, in a form set out in the Listing Rules or otherwise approved by the ASX.

  • (c) A holder of Restricted Securities must not dispose of, or agree or offer to dispose of, those Restricted Securities during the Escrow Period except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX.

  • (d) If the Restricted Securities are in the same class as quoted securities, the holder of the Restricted Securities will be taken to have agreed in writing that the Restricted Securities are to be kept on the Company's issuer sponsored sub-register and are to have a holding lock applied for the duration of the Escrow Period.

  • (e) The Company must refuse to acknowledge a disposal (including registering a transfer) of Restricted Securities during the Escrow Period except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX.

17

==> picture [196 x 86] intentionally omitted <==

  • (f) A holder of Restricted Securities will not be entitled to participate in any return of capital on those Restricted Securities during the Escrow Period except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX.

  • (g) If a holder of Restricted Securities breaches a Restriction Agreement or a provision of this Constitution restricting a disposal of those Restricted Securities, the holder of those Restricted Securities will not be entitled to any Dividend or distribution, or to exercise any voting rights, in respect of those Restricted Securities for so long as the breach continues.';

  • (d) replacing the text of Rule 30 with the following;

'By a resolution of the Board, the Board may call a general meeting of the company to be held at the time and:
