EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. Financial Statements And Reports

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.corporate.topbetta.com.au/news.

2. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that, at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at two consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

As this is the Company’s first annual general meeting, shareholders have not voted in respect of a remuneration report. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

2.4 Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

Person appointed as

3 Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

3. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Matthew Cain

3.1 General

Article 15.6 of the Constitution requires that, if the Company has three or more directors, one third of the directors (or if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest but not exceeding one third) must retire at the Company's next annual general meeting. Article 15.7 of the Constitution allows such Director who retires under Article 15.6 to be eligible for re-election at that meeting. Article 15.6 of the Constitution further prescribes that the director who has held their office as Director for the longest period of time is to retire and stand for re-election at the Meeting and, in the event that multiple persons became directors on the same day, the Director to retire shall be determined by lot (unless otherwise agreed between themselves).

As Managing Director of the Company, Todd Buckingham is not subject to the requirements of Article 15.6 of the Constitution.

Mr Simon Dulhunty and Mr Matthew Cain were each appointed to the Board on 2 October 2015 and they have determined who will retire in accordance with Article 15.6 of the Constitution.

Accordingly, Mr Matthew Cain will retire as Director at the Meeting and, being eligible, will stand for re-election.

Personal particulars for Mr Cain are set out below.

3.2 Mr Matthew Cain

Matthew Cain has over 18 years' experience in the financial services and banking industry. He brings a significant amount of senior management, financial and corporate experience to the group. Matthew has an extensive family background in racing and is involved with racing a number of horses with prominent Melbourne horse trainers. Matthew is currently a Committee Member of the Melbourne Racing Club and a director of Ferghana Capital. He is also a Board Trustee to the Caulfield Racecourse Reserve.

Mr Cain was appointed to the Board on 2 October 2015.

3.3 Board Recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Cain) recommends that you vote in favour of this Resolution.

4. Resolution 3 – Appointment of Auditor

4.1 General

Section 327B(1)(a) of the Corporations Act requires a public company to appoint an auditor at its first annual general meeting. Accordingly, the Company is seeking shareholder approval of the appointment of PKF (NS) Audit and Assurance Limited Partnership ( PKF ) as the Company’s auditor.

PKF has been duly nominated for appointment as the Company’s auditor by a shareholder of the Company, as required by section 328B of the Corporations Act. A copy of the shareholder’s written notice of nomination is set out at Annexure A.

4.2 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote in favour of this Resolution.

5. Resolution 4 – Approval of Prior Issue of Shares under Placement

5.1 General

On 24 August 2016, the Company announced that it had completed a placement of 14,454,681 Shares in the Company ( Placement Shares ) to raise $2.6 million ( Placement ). The proceeds of the Placement were used to target customer acquisitions over the Spring Racing Carnival and expedite the launch of new products, including an international pooled B2B betting product. The Placement Shares issued under the Placement were issued under the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The issue of the Placement Shares did not breach ASX Listing Rules 7.1.

Approval is now sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to the issue of the Placement Shares. Such approval will refresh the Company’s ability to issue additional securities in the future without seeking shareholder approval.

5.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 & 7.4

Other than in respect of the exceptions prescribed under the ASX Listing Rules, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of securities that a company may issue without shareholder approval in any 12 month period to 15% of its issued securities.

7

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows for shareholders to subsequently approve an issue of securities, provided the issue was not in breach of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Shareholders are being asked to approve the issue of the Placement Shares in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

If the Placement Shares are approved pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the Company’s capacity to issue further securities under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 is restored. The Directors consider it prudent to retain the capacity to issue further securities and, accordingly, seek Shareholders’ approval to the issue of the Placement Shares as set out in this Resolution.

Accordingly, Shareholders are being asked to approve the issue of the Placement Shares in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

5.3 Summary of the issue of Shares under this Resolution

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided:

  • the number of Shares for which Shareholder approval is being sought is 14,454,681 Shares issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • the Placement Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.18 per Share;

  • from their date of issue, the Placement Shares ranked equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares;

  • the Placement Shares were issued to various unrelated sophisticated and institutional investors who satisfied the definitions contained in sections 708(8) and 708(11) of the Corporations Act;

  • the Placement Shares were issued under the Placement to raise $2.6 million. These funds will be used to aggressively target customer acquisitions over the Spring Racing Carnival and expedite the launch of new products, including an international pooled B2B betting product; and

  • A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

5.4 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote in favour of this Resolution.

6. Resolution 5 – Approval of Issue of Options

6.1 General

On 24 August 2016, the Company announced that it had completed the Placement. Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited ( Canaccord ) acted as Joint Lead Manager, together with Foster Stockbroking Pty Ltd.

As set out in the announcement dated 18 August 2016, in part consideration for the provision of services by Canaccord, the Company agreed to issue to Cannacord 3,000,000 Options, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting (the terms of which are set out in section 6.3 below).

Approval is now sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Options which, if approved, will refresh the Company’s ability to issue that number of securities in the future without seeking Shareholder approval in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of securities that a company may issue without shareholder approval in any 12 month period to 15% of its issued securities.

The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue the Options to Canaccord without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity.

6.3 Summary of the issue of Options under this Resolution

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided:

  • the maximum number of Options for which Shareholder approval is being sought under this Resolution is 3,000,000 Options;

  • the Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);

     - § 12 months after completion of the Placement, being 24 August 2017; or

  • each Option is exercisable into one fully paid ordinary Share;

  • the Options are to be issued to Canaccord;

  • no funds will be raised by the issue of the Options. Any funds raised from the exercise of the Options will be used for working capital; and

  • a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

Additional terms and conditions of the Options proposed to be issued are set out at Annexure B.

6.4 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote in favour of this Resolution.

7. Resolution 6 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity

7.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue equity securities (which term has the meaning given to it in the ASX Listing Rules) to up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after its annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the capacity to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without shareholder approval.

If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the number of equity securities TopBetta may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as detailed in section 7.2 below.

This Resolution is a special resolution and, accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative) must be in favour of this Resolution for it to be passed.

7.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The ASX Listing Rules provide that an entity that satisfies both of the following tests may seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A:

  • (a) the entity is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) the entity’s market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) is not greater than $300,000,000.

TopBetta is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation, as at 17 October 2016, of approximately $11 million.

Any equity securities issued in reliance of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted equity securities. TopBetta currently has one class of equity securities on issue which are quoted, being the Shares.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12-month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (1) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (2) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • (3) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and

  • (4) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

D is 10%.

9

E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

7.3 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.3A requires the following information to be provided in relation to a resolution under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A:

7.3.1 Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued is 75% of the VWAP of equity securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at which the equity securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (b) if the equity securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.

7.3.2 10% placement period

The equity securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of:

  • (a) 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; or

  • (b) the date of approval by shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

7.3.3 Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below, in the circumstances set out in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 17 October 2016 ( Closing Price ) and the number of Shares for variable A, calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the date of this notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) has increased by 50% and by 100% and the economic dilution where the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity is 50% less than the Closing Price and 100% greater than the Closing Price.

Funds raised $1,108,192.30 $2,216,384.60 $4,432,769.20

The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above has been prepared on the basis of the following assumptions:

(a) the Issue Price set out in the table is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 17 October 2016;

10

  • (b) the Company issues the maximum possible number of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity;

  • (c) no rights convertible into Shares are exercised;

  • (d) subject to point (e) below, the Company has not issued any equity securities in the 12 months prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or which were not approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (e) Resolution 4 contained in this Notice is approved by Shareholders;

  • (f) this table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (g) the issue of equity securities under the 10% placement facility consists only of Shares.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • (b) the equity securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Shares on the date of issue,

which may affect the amount of funds raised by the issue.

Shareholders should also note that the calculations in the table do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

7.3.4 Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (a) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for either or both of working capital purposes or to fund growth opportunities; or

  • (b) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

7.3.5 Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The allottees of the equity securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will depend on prevailing market conditions and will be determined on a case by case basis. However, the allottees of equity securities could consist of current shareholders, new investors or both. Allottees may also include vendors of assets into the Company.

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (a) the purpose of the issue;

  • (b) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing shareholders may participate;

  • (c) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;

  • (d) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (e) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (f) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

7.3.6 Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

As this is the Company’s first annual general meeting, the Company has not previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

7.3.7 Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement is included in the notice. As at the date of the notice, TopBetta has not approached any existing Shareholder, security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in the issue of any equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
