Listing Rule 7.1A

Resolution 5 –Listing Rule 7.1A Approval of Additional 10% Capacity

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.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to add an additional 10% capacity to its existing 15% capacity.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million).

As of the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $20.4 million and therefore is an eligible entity. If at the time of the Meeting the Company is no longer an eligible entity this Resolution will be withdrawn.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval, as provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A. This Resolution is a special resolution.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval being obtained.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Information Required by Listing Rule 7.3A

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.

Period for which the approval will be valid

An approval under Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:

  • (a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • (b) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; and

  • (c) the time and date on which Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

Minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A

Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be an existing quoted class of the Company’s equity securities and issued for cash consideration.

The issue price per equity security must not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of the equity securities in that class, calculated over 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at the equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the equity securities; and

  • (b) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the equity securities are issued.

Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used

As noted above, any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed use of funds at the time of issue.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, if Shareholders approve this Resolution. However, if Shareholders approved this Resolution and the Company did raise funds from the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company considers that the funds may be used for the following purposes:

  • (a) increasing the funding available for pay advances;

  • (b) further developing the Company's business and accelerating the Company’s growth objectives; and

  • (c) for the Company's working capital requirements.

Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing ordinary Securityholders

If this Resolution is approved, and the Company issues equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted.

There is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the Company’s equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) to the market price for the Company’s equity securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Securityholders on the basis of three different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in rule 7.1A.2:

issues of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of this Explanatory Statement.

(e) The table shows the effect of an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A only, not under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Allocation policy for issues under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company’s allocation policy and the identity of the allottees of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will depend on a number of factors, including:

  • (a) the Company’s intentions in relation to the possible issue of equity securities (for cash consideration) during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period;

  • (b) the structure and timeframe of the capital raising opportunities available to the Company and any alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company (such as a pro rata offer or an offer under a share purchase plan);

  • (c) the potential effect on the control of the Company;

  • (d) the Company’s financial position and likely future capital requirements; and

  • (e) advice from the Company’s corporate or financial advisors.

Based on the Company’s historical cashflow reports and capital raising activities in the past 12 months, the Company considers that it may raise funds during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, although this cannot be guaranteed. As of the date of this Notice, no specific intention to issue equity securities in relation to any parties, investors or existing Securityholders have been formed. In addition, no intentions have been formed in relation to the possible number of issues, or the time frame in which the issues could be made. Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Board of Directors reserve the right to determine the allocation policy that the Company may adopt for an issue at the time of any issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A .

If and when the determination is made to proceed with an issue of equity securities during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, details regarding the allottees and purposes of issue will be disclosed pursuant to the Company’s obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4.

Offers made under Listing Rule 7.1A may be made to parties (excluding any related parties) including professional and sophisticated investors, existing Shareholders of the Company, clients of Australian Financial Service Licence holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to make an offer of equity securities.

The Company has not previously sought Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and therefore has not issued or agreed to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the AGM.

This Resolution is a Special Resolution. For a Special Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of the votes validly cast on the resolution by Shareholders (by number of ordinary shares) must be in favour of this Resolution.

Directors’ recommendation

The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for this Resolution.

Issue of Incentive Securities under Equity Incentive Plan

Resolution 6 – Approval of Issue of Options to Mr Luke Bortoli, Director of the Company

Background

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval to issue and allot 75,000 unlisted options ( Options ) under the Equity Incentive Plan to Mr Luke Bortoli (or his nominee), Director of the Company. The Company considers that the issue of the Options is an appropriate mechanism to further align the interests of the Directors with Shareholders of the Company.

Director and Related Party Approvals

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders:

  • (a) a director of the Company;

  • (b) an associate of a director of the Company; or

  • (c) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by the Company’s shareholders.

As Mr Bortoli is a Director of the Company, the proposed issue of Options constitutes the acquisition of securities under an employee incentive scheme for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

To this end, Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Options to Mr Bortoli under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14, in accordance with Listing Rule 10.12 (exception 8), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 10.11. 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. In accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), if this Resolution is passed, the issue of unlisted Options 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 Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Options.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Options.

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 under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.

The proposed issue of Options 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

Beforepay Group Limited | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

16

a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

As Mr Bortoli is a current Director of the Company, he is considered to be a “related party” of the Company. Therefore, the proposed issue of Options to Mr Bortoli (or his nominee) requires Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14, unless the issue of Options falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions.

The Board (with the conflicted Director excluded) carefully considered the issue of Options and formed the view that the giving of the financial benefit to that Director was reasonable remuneration given the circumstances of the Company, the quantum and terms of the Options and the responsibilities held by that Director in the Company.

Accordingly, the Company considers that the issue of these Options to Mr Bortoli falls within the “reasonable remuneration” exception as set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act, and relies on this exception for the purposes of Resolution 6. Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is therefore not required for this issue.

Information Required by Listing Rule 10.15

The following information in relation to the issue of Options is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15:

  • (a) The name of the person proposed to acquire the Options is Mr Luke Bortoli, Non-Executive Director.

  • (b) Mr Bortoli falls within the category as set out in Listing Rule 10.14.1 as he is a Director of the Company.

  • (c) The maximum number of Options for which Shareholder approval is being sought is 75,000 Options to Luke Bortoli (or his nominee).

  • (d) Details of Mr Bortoli’s current total remuneration package (excluding superannuation) is an annual base fee of $75,000 and committee fees of $7,500 per annum for each committee of which he is a member.

  • (e) Since the Company’s initial public offer, the Company has issued 83,613 options to each of the directors for nil cash consideration.

  • (f) Based on a Black-Scholes model valuation the total indicative value of the Options has been assessed to be $8,250, being $0.11 per Option. The assumptions underlying the Black Scholes model valuation (as of the date of 5 October 2022), are that the current market price of Shares is $0.415, the exercise price of the Options is $1.30, the time to expiration of the Options 3.75 years, the volatility is 70%, the risk-free interest rate is 3.16, and the dividend yield is 0%.

  • (g) The Options will be issued within three years from the date of this Meeting, if approved by Shareholders of the Company.

  • (h) The Options are being issued for nil consideration pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan.

  • (i) The material terms of the Options are as follows:

Terms Description
Exercise price $1.30
Expiry date The date which is five years after the date of issue of the Options.

17

  • (j) The Options will also be issued pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. The Company has decided to choose this type of equity security as it assists in aligning the interests of the option holder with Shareholders of the Company.

  • (k) The Options are proposed to be issued to Mr Bortoli as part of his remuneration, which is not uncommon for Directors. The issue of incentive securities (such as Options) is a cost effective and efficient reward, as opposed to alternative forms of incentives, such as additional cash payments.

  • (l) A summary of key terms of the Equity Incentive Plan is attached as Annexure A of this Notice of Meeting.

  • (m) There will be no loan made to Mr Bortoli in relation to the issue of Options.

  • (n) Details of any securities issued under the Equity Incentive Plan will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to a period in which securities have been issued, and that approval for the issue of securities was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons who become entitled to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan after the resolution was approved and who were not named in the notice of meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

ANNEXURE A – SUMMARY OF THE KEY TERMS OF THE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Term Description
Eligibility Offers to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan (LTIP) may be made at the
Company’s discretion to Directors (including Non-Executive Directors),
employees and contractors of the Group, or any other person designated
by the Board.
Awards The LTIP permits the grant of performance rights to acquire Shares
(Rights), Options and Shares subject to dealing restrictions (Restricted
Shares) in the Board’s discretion (Rights, Options and Restricted Shares,
togetherAwards). Rights and Options, to the extent vested and exercised,
may be settled in Shares or a cash amount equivalent to the value of the
number of Shares to which the participant is entitled as determined in
accordance with the grant letter, on and subject to the LTIP rules and the
terms of the grant letter. The Restricted Shares, and any Shares issued on
exercise of Rights and Options, may be subject to dealing restrictions for
a period of time in accordance with the LTIP rules and/or the terms of the
relevant grant letter. Each Award entitles the holder to acquire (by way of
issue or transfer) one fully paid ordinary share in the Company for each
Right or Option upon their vesting and exercise, subject to any applicable
vesting conditions and payment of any exercise price.
Issue Price Unless the Board determines otherwise, Awards will be issued for nil
consideration.
Vesting conditions
and vesting
The Board will have the discretion to set the terms and conditions on
which it will offer Awards under the LTIP and will specify such terms and
conditions in the relevant invitation to an eligible participant.
The Board may determine that Awards will be subject to performance or
service-related conditions which must be satisfied or waived before the
Awards vest (Vesting Conditions).
The Board has the discretion to set both the Vesting Conditions and the
performance period for satisfaction of Vesting Conditions.
Lapse Unless otherwise determined by the Board, an unvested Award will lapse
on the earlier of:
● the date specified in the grant letter (or if no date is specified, 15 years
from the date of grant);
● where the Board determines that any applicable Vesting Conditions
have not been satisfied;
● where the Board determines that the Award lapses due to the
participant transferring Awards in contravention of the restrictions on
transfer or entry into prohibited hedging arrangements;
● in certain circumstances if the participant’s employment ends (see
‘Leaver provisions’ below); and
● if the Board determines that the Award will lapse in the event of a
change of control in respect of the Company (see ‘Change of control’
below).
Dividend
and
Rights and Options are not entitled to dividend or voting rights. However,
the Board maydetermineprior to makingan offer that anyRight and/or

21

voting
entitlements
Option the subject of the offer will carry rights entitling the holder to
receive dividend equivalents i.e. a payment in cash or securities equivalent
to the value of dividends that would have been payable to the holder had
they been the holder of the underlying Shares over which the Right or
Option is exercisable.
Restricted Shares are entitled to dividend and voting rights and any other
rights of an ordinaryshareholder in respect of the Restricted Shares.
Participation rights
Rights and Options will not confer the right to participate in new issues of
Shares or other securities in the Company unless the Rights or Options are
vested and exercised prior to the relevant record date. However, subject
to the ASX Listing Rules, the LTIP will provide for adjustments to be made
to the number of Shares to which a participant would be entitled on the
exercise of Rights and Options, in the event of a bonus issue or pro-rata
issue to existingholders of Shares or a reorganisation of capital.
Restrictions Unless the Board determines otherwise, Awards can only be transferred
with the Board’s written consent or by force of law upon the death or
bankruptcy of a participant.
Participants will not be permitted to enter into any arrangement for the
purpose of hedging, or otherwise affecting their economic exposure to
any Awards.
Leaver provisions Where a participant ceases their employment with the Company before
the Awards vest, the Awards will be treated in the following manner
(unless the Board determines otherwise):
●if the participant resigns or is terminated for cause, all Awards will
lapse; or
●if the participant otherwise ceases their employment, a pro-rata
number of the Awards will vest (based on the period of time elapsed
in which the participant has to satisfy the Vesting Conditions).
A participant who ceases to be an employee must exercise any vested
Awards by the earlier of 90 days after ceasing to be an employee, or the
date the Awards lapse.
The Board may determine a different treatment of vested and unvested
Awards upon a participant ceasing to be eligible.
Clawback If the Board is of the opinion that a participant has obtained, or may
obtain, an unfair benefit as a result of an act which:
●constitutes fraud, or dishonest, gross misconduct, or gross
incompetence in relation to the affairs of the Group;
●brings the Group into disrepute;
●is in breach of his or her obligations to the Group, including
compliance with any applicable Company policy;
●constitutes a failure to perform any other act reasonably and lawfully
requested of the Participant; or
●has the effect of delivering strong Group performance in a manner
which is unsustainable or involves unacceptably high risk and results,
or is likely to result, in a detrimental impact on Group performance
followingthe end of theperiod duringwhich VestingConditions are

Beforepay Group Limited | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

22

tested, the Board may clawback or adjust any Award at its discretion to ensure no unfair benefit is derived by the participant. If a change of control event occurs with respect to the Company, the Board Change of control may determine, in its discretion, the manner in which all Awards will be dealt with, having regard to any matter the Board considers relevant, including, without limitation, the circumstances of the transaction or event, the extent to which any applicable Vesting Conditions have been satisfied and/or the proportion of any applicable performance period that has passed at that time. This may include determining (at the Board’s discretion) that some or all of the Awards will: ● vest; ● lapse; ● remain on foot subject to the applicable Vesting Conditions and performance periods; ● remain on foot subject to substituted or varied Vesting Conditions and performance periods which, in the Board’s view, are no more difficult to achieve than the original Vesting Conditions and/or no longer than the original performance period(s); ● in respect of Options or Rights, convert to Shares on a particulate date; or ● may only be settled in cash, or with securities other than Shares. To the extent permitted by the ASX Listing Rules, the Board may amend, Amendments supplement or revoke the LTIP or all or any of the rights or obligations attaching to an Award. The Board may not, without the consent of a participant, amend the LTIP or an Award in a way that materially reduces the rights of that participant with respect to an Award or Share that is subject to the LTIP, except for an amendment that is made primarily for complying with present or future laws applicable to the LTIP or the Group, or to correct any manifest error or mistake. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding provision does not limit the Board’s discretion to clawback or adjust any Award to ensure a participant does not obtain an unfair benefit.
