Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at 11:00am (AEST) on 19 April 2021 as a hybrid meeting.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

If you are in any doubt about what to do in relation to the Resolutions contemplated in the Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Statement, it is recommended that you seek advice from an accountant, solicitor or other professional advisor.

Full details of the business to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting are set out below.

Resolutions

Approval of Issue of Shares

Resolutions 1 and 2 – Approval to Issue Placement Shares to Related Parties of the Company

Background

As announced by the Company on 23 February 2021, that it had successfully completed a placement to new and existing sophisticated and professional investors of 34,285,714 new fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of 0.35 cents ($0.35) per Share raising $12,000,000 (before costs) for the Company ( Placement ).

The Company announced that the Placement would be undertaken in two allotments, with the first allotment (Allotment 1) to be issued under the Company’s existing capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and the second allotment (Allotment 2) subject to Shareholder approval.

27,942,857 Allotment 1 Shares were issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on 1 March 2021 with the remaining 6,342,857 Allotment 2 Shares to be issued subject to shareholders approving resolutions 1 and 2 as set out in this Notice of Meeting.

Accordingly, Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder approval to issue and allot 6,342,857 Fully Paid Ordinary Shares to Related Parties of the Company to raise $211,999.98 for general working capital and investment in the business

Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company, as a listed company, must not issue equity securities to persons in a position of influence without Shareholder approval.

A person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 includes:

  • (a) a related party;

PKS Holdings Limited | Extraordinary General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement 8

(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue of agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the Company;

(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the Company and who has nominated a director to the board of the Company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

(d) an Associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; and

(e) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) above is such that, in the ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders.

As Stephen Borness and Andrew Grey are Directors of the Company (together the Related Parties), they are each a person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12, and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

To this end, Resolutions 1 and 2 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Shares to Stephen Borness or his nominee under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue to each of the Related Parties upon receipt of their investment proceeds.

If any of Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue to the Related Parties and will not receive the investment proceeds from the Related Party that subject of the Resolution which is not passed.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:

(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions; or

(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.

The proposed issue of Shares (which is a type of equity security, for the purposes of the Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act) constitutes the giving of a financial benefit.

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

The non-conflicted Directors of the Company (being the Board with Stephen Borness and Andrew Grey removed from discussions) carefully considered the issue of these Shares to Related Parties and formed the view that the giving of these financial benefits are on arm’s length terms, as the Allotment 2 Related Shares are proposed to be issued on the same terms as offered to non-related parties of the Company.

Accordingly, the non-conflicted Directors of the Company believes that the issue of these Allotment 2

PKS Holdings Limited | Extraordinary General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement 9

Related Shares to the Related Parties fall within the “arm’s length terms” exception as set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act, and relies on this exception for the purposes of this Resolution. Therefore, the proposed issue of Allotment 2 Related Shares to the Related Parties requires Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 only.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

The following information in relation to the issue of the Allotment 2 Related Shares to the Related Parties is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13:

  • (a) The allottees are:

  • (i) Stephen Borness; and

  • (ii) Andrew Gray

  • (b) Stephen Borness and Andrew Gray are each Directors of the Company. They therefore all fall under listing rule 10.11.1 as related parties of the Company.

  • (c) The maximum number of Allotment 2 Related Shares to be issued is:

  • (i) Stephen Borness 1,342,857 (ii) Andrew Gray 5,000,000 6,342,857

  • (d) The Allotment 2 Related Shares will be fully paid on issue and rank equally in all aspects with all existing fully paid ordinary shares previously issued by the Company.

  • (e) The Allotment 2 Related Shares will be issued within 1 month of Shareholder approval being obtained by the Company.

  • (f) The Allotment 1 Related Shares will be offered at an issue price of $0.35 per share

  • (g) Funds raised from the issue of the Allotment 2 Related Shares will be used by the Company for product development, sales & marketing and research.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommend Shareholders vote for this Resolution.

Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares

Resolution 3 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares

Background

As advised in the background to Resolutions 1 and 2 above the Company announced on 23 February 2021, that it had successfully completed a placement to new and existing sophisticated and professional investors of 34,285,714 new fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of 0.35 cents ($0.35) per Share raising $12,000,000 (before costs) for the Company ( Placement ).

The Company announced that the Placement would be undertaken in two allotments, with the first allotment ( Allotment 1 ) to be issued under the Company’s existing capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and the second Allotment ( Allotment 2 ) subject to Shareholder approval.

PKS Holdings Limited | Extraordinary General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

10

27,942,857 Allotment 1 Shares were issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on 1 March 2021 with the remaining 6,342,857 Allotment 2 Shares to be issued subject to shareholders approving resolutions 1 and 2 as set out in this Notice of Meeting.

Accordingly, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the prior issue and allotment of 27,942,857 Allotment 1 Shares which were issued on 1 March 2021 ( Issue Date ).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

All of the Allotment 1 Shares were issued by utilising the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Allotment 1 Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to subsequently approve the issue of Allotment 1 Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If this Resolution is passed, the issue of Allotment 1 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

If this Resolution is not passed, the issue of Allotment 1 Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5.

  • (a) The Allotment 1 Shares were issued to new and existing sophisticated and professional investors selected by Pac Partners Securities Pty Limited as lead manager to the Placement.

  • (b) The Company issued 27,942,857 Fully Paid Ordinary Shares.

  • (c) The Shares were fully paid on issue and ranked equally in all aspects with all existing fully paid ordinary shares previously issued by the Company.

  • (d) The Allotment 1 Shares were issued on 1 March 2021.

  • (e) Each of the Allotment 1 Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.35 per Allotment 1 Share, which raised $9,780,000.65.

PKS Holdings Limited | Extraordinary General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

  • (f) Funds raised from the issue of the Shares have been and will be used by the Company for general working capital and investment in the business.
