SPECIAL BUSINESS

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

As consideration for the acquisition of the NHMHA Shares, at completion the Company will, subject to shareholder approval, issue to the shareholders of NHMHA a total of:

  • 26.5 million fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( Shares ), ( Settlement Shares ); and

  • 52.5 million unquoted options ( Milestone Options ),

(together, Consideration Securities ).

Completion of the sale and purchase of the NHMHA Shares is subject to, and conditional upon, the following conditions:

  • the Company obtaining any approvals it requires or considers in its sole discretion necessary, beneficial or incidental to the sale and purchase of the NHMHA Shares including, without limitation, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Consideration Securities, which approval is being sought by virtue of this Resolution 1 at the Meeting; and

  • there being no material adverse change in NHMHA, the NHMHA Subsidiaries, the Business, the Assets or the profitability or prospects of the Business.

Reasons for approval

Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the Company to issue a total of 26.5 million Settlement Shares and 52.5 million Milestone Options to the shareholders of NHMHA.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, without shareholder approval (or unless an exception applies), issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period ( Placement Capacity ).

ASX Listing Rule 7.2, exception 17 provides that ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an agreement to issue equity securities that is conditional on the holder of the entity’s ordinary securities approving the issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. ASX Listing Rule 7.2, exception 17 is only available if the equity securities are not issued without this approval.

As the issue of the Consideration Securities would cause the Company to exceed its Placement Capacity for a 12 month period from the date of issue, the Company is seeking shareholder approval for the issue of the Consideration Securities for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If this Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the Consideration Securities will not count towards the 15% threshold in any 12 month period.

If this Resolution 1 is not passed, then the Share Acquisition Agreement will be terminated and the Company would not acquire the NHMHA Subsidiaries.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to, and in accordance with, ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Consideration Securities:

  • the Company will issue the Consideration Securities to the shareholders of NHM Holdings (Australia) Pty Ltd;

  • the Consideration Securities include:

  • 26.5 million Settlement Shares that are subject to a voluntary escrow for a period of 6 months from the date of issue and that, other than the escrow, rank equally with, and have the same rights as, the existing Shares on issue; and

  • 52.5 million Milestone Options over Shares, the material terms of which are as follows:

  • the Milestone Options are not able to be transferred;

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Directors’ recommendation

The directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 1.

Resolution 2 – Approval of the terms of a buy-back

The Company currently has 196,891,506 Shares on issue.

Acuity Capital Investment Management Pty Ltd (ACN 132 459 093) as trustee for the Acuity Capital Holdings Trust ( Acuity Capital ) holds 1,333,334 Shares ( Acuity Capital Shares ), which represent 0.677% (rounded) of the Shares currently on issue.

The Company and Acuity Capital have entered into a termination agreement ( Termination Agreement ) under which the Company has agreed, subject to shareholder approval, to buy back the Acuity Capital Shares for nil consideration on the terms of the Termination Agreement ( Buy-Back ).

Reasons for the Buy-Back

The Company entered into a controlled placement deed with Acuity Capital on 31 January 2018 ( CPD ). The CPD provided the Company with up to $2,000,000 of standby equity capital over the period from execution of the CPD to 31 December 2019, which was subsequently extended to 31 January 2024. As security for the CPD, the Company issued to Acuity Capital the Acuity Capital Shares on 2 February 2018. Acuity Capital is required to return the Acuity Capital Shares to the Company upon maturity of the CPD. The Company has never used the placement facility provided by Acuity Capital under the CPD.

The CPD has now matured and the Company has decided to proceed with the Buy-Back. Accordingly, the Company wishes to buy back the Acuity Capital Shares. Following completion of the Buy-Back, the Company will immediately cancel the Acuity Capital Shares.

Corporations Act

Section 257A of the Corporations Act provides that a company may buy back its own shares if the buy-back does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors and the company follows the procedure laid down in Division 2 of Part 2J.1 of Chapter 2J of the Corporations Act.

The directors of the Company have considered and determined that the Buy-Back does not materially prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors. There is no financial impact of the Buy-Back on the Company as, in accordance with the terms of the Termination Agreement, the Company will, subject to shareholder approval, buy-back the Acuity Capital Shares for nil consideration.

Section 257D(1) of the Corporations Act requires that the terms of a buy-back agreement for a selective buy-back of shares must be approved by shareholders by way of:

  • a special resolution of the shareholders where no vote is cast in favour of the resolution by any person whose shares are proposed to be bought back or by their associates; or

  • a resolution agreed to, at a general meeting, by all ordinary shareholders.

The directors of the Company have determined to seek approval by way of a special resolution of shareholders, which approval is being sought by virtue of this Resolution 2 at the Meeting. That means that at least 75% of ordinary shareholders who vote on this Resolution 2 must vote in favour of this Resolution 2 in order for the Company to proceed with the Buy-Back.

Section 257D(2) of the Corporations Act requires that the Company must provide a statement to shareholders setting out all information known to the Company that is material to the decision how to vote on this Resolution 2. The Company does not need to disclose information if it would be unreasonable to require the Company to do so because it had previously disclosed the information to its shareholders. That statement comprises these explanatory notes.

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Terms of Buy-Back

The terms of the Termination Agreement for the Buy-Back include that:

  • the Buy-Back is conditional on shareholder approval of the terms of the Termination Agreement being obtained in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act and the obligation of the Company to undertake the Buy-Back will have no legal force unless and until the Company receives all requisite shareholder approvals required for the Buy-Back;

  • if the Company has not received all requisite shareholder approvals required for the Buy-Back within six months after 31 January 2024, then the Termination Agreement ceases to have effect;

  • completion of the Buy-Back is to occur on the fifth business day after shareholder approval is obtained; and

  • nil consideration is payable for the Buy-Back.

The effect of the Buy-Back on the control of the Company

If the Buy-Back occurs, the Acuity Capital Shares will be cancelled. This in turn will mean that the total Shares in the Company on issue will reduce from 196,891,506 to 195,558,172 and the proportional holding of each of the remaining shareholders will increase. The directors of the Company do not consider that the Buy-Back will have any material impact on the control of the Company.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Buy-Back

The advantages of the Buy-Back are that it:

  • facilitates the exit of Acuity Capital as a shareholder; and

  • reduces the total shareholdings of the Company for no cost, benefitting all of the remaining shareholders.

There are no disadvantages of the Buy-Back to the remaining shareholders.

Directors' Recommendation

The directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 2.

Resolutions 3 - 5 – Approval of the issue of performance rights to Directors

In November 2023, as part of the overall remuneration strategy of the Company, the Company established the Employee Incentive Securities Plan ( Plan ). The Plan provides for the issue of convertible securities such as options or performance rights to key employees of the Company invited by the Board to participate in the Plan that, when exercised, results in the issue of Shares ( Performance Rights ). A summary of the terms of the Plan is set out in the Annexure to this Notice.

The objective of the Plan is to reward, retain and motivate key contributors to the Company. The Company considers that the Plan and the future issue of securities under the Plan provide selected contributors to the Company with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

The Company has agreed, subject to shareholder approval, to issue the following Performance Rights to each of the directors of the Company under the Plan as part of the overall remuneration package for each director in the Company:

  • 8,865,000 Performance Rights to Managing Director Glenn Grayson (and/or his nominee), in accordance with Resolution 3;

  • 6,402,500 Performance Rights to non-executive Chair James Moses (and/or his nominee), in accordance with Resolution 4; and

1066729118_7

12

==> picture [160 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

  • 4,432,500 Performance Rights to director Brett Smith (and/or his nominee), in accordance with Resolution 5.

Use of Performance Rights

The Board considers that the issue of Performance Rights to Messrs Grayson, Moses and Smith, which are subject to the performance hurdles described below under the heading ‘Performance Hurdles’ ( Performance Hurdles ), provides an appropriate reward and incentive structure to Messrs Grayson, Moses and Smith to continue to work towards maximising returns to shareholders and to encourage their retention.

The Board also considers the use of Performance Rights is superior to alternative forms of incentives, such as cash, on the basis that the Performance Rights vesting and becoming exercisable and the consequential issuing of Shares to Messrs Grayson, Moses and Smith means that the shareholding in the Company of each of Messrs Grayson, Moses and Smith increases to further align the interests of directors and shareholders.

Reasons for approval

Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 seek shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14 to issue a total of 19.7 million Performance Rights to Messrs Grayson, Moses and Smith.

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires that a company obtain shareholder approval for the issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director, an associate of a director or a person whose relationship with the company, a director or an associate of a director is such that ASX considers approval should be obtained. The proposed issue of Performance Rights to each of the directors in the Company requires approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. If approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the issue will not decrease the number of equity securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval for the 12 month period following the issue. The Performance Rights to be issued to Messrs Grayson, Moses and Smith are in effect conditional entitlements, which may vest and become exercisable subject to the satisfaction of the Performance Hurdles.

If each of Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 are passed, the Company will proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to Messrs Grayson, Moses and Smith on the terms set out in the Annexure to this Notice. If any of Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 are not passed, then the Company will not proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights in respect of the person or persons the subject of the resolution or resolutions not passed, and may need to consider alternative methods (such as cash payments) to incentivise those directors.

Issue of Performance Rights

The Company proposes to issue a total of 19.7 million Performance Rights to Messrs Grayson, Moses and Smith on a date within five business days of the Meeting, as determined by the Board, and in any case, no later than one month after the date of the Meeting on the terms set out in the Annexure to this Notice.

Performance Hurdles

The Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Messrs Grayson, Moses and Smith will vest and become exercisable when:

  • (a) in respect of:

  • 2,916,585 Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Mr Grayson;

  • 2,106,422 Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Mr Moses; and

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Rights attaching to
Convertible Securities
A Convertible Security represents a right to acquire one or more Plan Shares in
accordance with the Plan (for example, an Option or a Performance Right).
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, the holder:
(a)
does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the
subject of the Convertible Security other than as expressly set out in the Plan;
(b)
is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a meeting of the
shareholders of the Company;
(c)
is not entitled to receive any dividends declared by the Company; and
(d)
is not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares (see Adjustment of
Convertible Securities section below).
Restrictions on
dealing with
Convertible Securities
Convertible Securities issued under the Plan cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, have
a security interest granted over or otherwise dealt with unless in Special Circumstances
as defined under the Plan (including in the case of death or total or permanent disability
of the holder) with the consent of the Board in which case the Convertible Securities
may be exercisable on terms determined by the Board. A holder must not enter into any
arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible
Security that has been granted to them.
Vesting of Convertible
Securities
Any vesting conditions applicable to the Convertible Securities will be described in the
invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the
Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them
that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice
is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have
vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible
Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that security will lapse.
Forfeiture of
Convertible Securities
Convertible Securities will be forfeited in the following circumstances:
(a)
where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities is no longer an Eligible
Participant, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by
the Participant;
(b)
where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities is no longer an Eligible
Participant, all vested Convertible Securities will remain on foot and exercisable,
for a period of 60 days after the date the Participant is no longer an Eligible
Participant, after which the Convertible Securities will lapse;
(c)
where a Participant acts fraudulently, dishonestly, negligently, in contravention
of any Group policy or wilfully breaches their duties to the Group and the Board
exercises its discretion to deem some or all of the Convertible Securities held by
a Participant to have been forfeited;
(d)
where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in accordance with the
Plan;
(e)
on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or
(f)
on the Expiry Date,
subject to the discretion of the Board.

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Listing of Convertible
Securities
Convertible Securities granted under the Plan will not be quoted on the ASX or any
other recognised exchange. The Board reserves the right in its absolute discretion to
apply for quotation of Convertible Securities granted under the Plan on the ASX or any
other recognised exchange.
Exercise of
Convertible Securities
and cashless exercise
To exercise a security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and,
subject to a cashless exercise (see next paragraph below), pay the exercise price (if
any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible
Securities (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the
invitation or vesting notice.
An invitation to apply for Convertible Securities may specify that at the time of exercise
of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide
payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a
notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will
transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive
difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the
exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Valuemeans, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share
traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date,
unless otherwise specified in an invitation. Convertible Securities may not be exercised
unless and until that security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such
earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
Timing of issue of
Shares and quotation
of Shares on exercise
Within five business days after the issue of a valid notice of exercise by a Participant,
the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of
Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute
certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
Restriction periods
and restrictions on
transfer of Shares on
exercise
If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid exercise of a Convertible
Security are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a
Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate
to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
Additionally, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the
following restrictions:
(a)
if the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with
section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares issued on exercise of the
Convertible Securities may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless
the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to
section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act;
(b)
all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to
restrictions imposed by applicable law on dealing in Shares by persons who
possess material information likely to affect the value of the Shares and which is
not generally available; and
(c)
all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the
terms of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy.
Rights attaching to
Shares on exercise
All Shares issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities will rank equally in all respects
with the then Shares of the Company.

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Change of control If a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any person (either
alone or together with associates) owning more than 50% of the Company’s issued
capital), unvested Convertible Securities will vest unless the Board determines in its
discretion otherwise. The Board’s discretion in determining the treatment of any
unvested Convertible Securities on a change of control event is limited to vesting or
varying any vesting conditions in respect to the Convertible Securities and does not
include a discretion to lapse or forfeit unvested Convertible Securities for less than fair
value.
Participation in
entitlements and
bonus issues
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs, Participants will not be
entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus
issues and entitlement issues.
Adjustment for bonus
issue
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu
of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the Participant is entitled, upon
exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of as many additional Shares
as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to
the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
Reorganisation If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any
subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the
Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed
to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a
reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
Buy-back Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy-back Securities in
accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Employee Share trust The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee share trust or other
mechanism for the purposes of holding Convertible Securities for holders under the Plan
and delivering Shares on behalf of holders upon exercise of Convertible Securities.
Amendment of Plan Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of
the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any
Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the
Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment
materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the
amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of
complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things,
or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
Plan duration The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from
time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely and may
end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that
termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all
of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on
the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the
manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
Income Tax
Assessment Act
The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax Assessment Act 1997_
(Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act) except to the extent an invitation
provides otherwise.
