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. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF CDK SHARES
1.1 General
On 30 April 2019, the Company announced that it had renegotiated the terms of the outstanding total payment of $4.5million ( Outstanding Payment ) which was due to be paid by the Company to the vendor ( CDK Vendor ) of C.D.K Software Limited ( CDK ) by 30 June 2019. Among other terms, the parties agreed that, subject to the Company obtaining prior shareholder approval, the Company would issue 33,333,333 Shares ( CDK Shares ) to the CDK Vendor in satisfaction of $1million of the Outstanding Payment (representing a deemed Share price of $0.03 per Share).
If Shareholders approve Resolution 1:
-
(a) the Company will only be required to pay a total of $3.5million in cash for the Outstanding Payment, with $1.5million of the Outstanding Payment due on 30 June 2019 and $2million of the Outstanding Payment due on 30 June 2024;
-
(b) the Company will be relieved of its obligation to pay an additional $1million to the CDK Vendor by 30 June 2019; and
-
(c) the Company will be able to issue the CDK Shares without affecting the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity..
If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 1:
-
(a) the Company will remain liable to pay an additional $1million to the CDK Vendor on or before 30 June 2019, in addition to the $1.5million of the Outstanding Payment already due on 30 June 2019; and
-
(b) if the Company cannot renegotiate the payment terms for the $1million payment with the CDK Vendor, or raise sufficient capital to satisfy this debt, before 30 June 2019, then both of the CDK Vendor and the vendors of DynamicOdds Pty Ltd ( DynamicOdds ) will have the right to buy back the shares in CDK and DynamicOdds (respectively) for nil consideration. All amounts previously paid by the Company to the CDK Vendor or the vendor of DynamicOdds are not refundable.
1.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

shares issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
partly paid shares that become fully paid; and
-
shares issued with shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4,
in that 12-month period, less any shares cancelled in that 12-month period ( 15% Placement Capacity ).

2. RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TEKKORP SHARES
2.1 General
On 30 April 2019 and 7 May 2019, the Company announced the placement of 55,991,335 Shares ( Tekkorp Shares ) in the Company to Las Vegas-based international wagering and gaming industry investment firm, Tekkorp Holdings LLC (or nominee) ( Tekkorp Holdings ). The Tekkorp Shares were issued at $0.03 per Share, raising approximately $1.68million from the issue of the Tekkorp Shares.
As at the date of this Notice, Tekkorp Holdings holds 19.99% of the issued Shares in the Company. Further, Tekkorp has provided a firm commitment to subscribe for its full entitlement under the Rights Issue currently being undertaken by the Company to maintain its interest.
As announced by the Company on 30 April 2019, the funds raised from the issue of the Tekkorp Shares will be used to pay the Outstanding Payment due to the CDK Vendor, and amounts due to be paid by 30 June 2019 in respect of the acquisitions of Global Betting Services Pty Ltd ( GBS and CDK Deferred Payments ).
The issue of the Tekkorp Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 as:
-
(a) 33,615,808 Tekkorp Shares were issued under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity; and
-
(b) 22,375,527 Tekkorp Shares were issued under the Company’s 10% Placement Capacity.
Resolution 2 seeks the ratification of the issue of 33,615,808 of the Tekkorp Shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to refresh the Company’s ability to issue that number of securities under its 15% Placement Capacity in the future without seeking prior shareholder approval in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 seeks the ratification of the issue of 22,375,527 of the Tekkorp Shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to refresh the Company’s ability to issue that number of securities under its 10% Placement Capacity in the future.
2.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.2 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that, in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid a number of equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
The Company previously received Shareholder approval for the 10% Placement Capacity at the annual general meeting held on 23 November 2018.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows for shareholders to subsequently approve an issue of securities made under the company’s 15% Placement Capacity or 10% Placement Capacity, provided the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A (as applicable) at the time of issue.
Under Resolution 2, Shareholders are being asked to ratify the prior issue of 33,615,808 Tekkorp Shares issued under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
If the issue of the 33,615,808 Tekkorp Shares is ratified pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the Company’s capacity to issue that number of securities under its 15% Placement Capacity will be restored.
Under Resolution 3, Shareholders are being asked to ratify the prior issue of 22,375,527 Tekkorp Shares issued under the Company’s 10% Placement Capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
Where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made under its 10% Placement Capacity, those securities will, from that date, be included in variable “A” in the formula in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.2 for the purpose of calculating the 15% Placement Capacity and the 10% Placement Capacity. By ratifying the issue of 22,375,527 Tekkorp Shares under Resolution 3:
-
(a) the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future under the 10% Placement Capacity without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval; and
-
(b) the base figure (i.e. variable “A”) in which the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity and 10% Placement Capacity are calculated will be a higher number which, in turn, will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.
The Directors consider it prudent to retain the flexibility and capacity to issue additional securities in accordance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A if circumstances require.
2.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5 in respect of Resolution 2
For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided:
-
(a) the number of Tekkorp Shares for which Shareholder ratification is being sought is 33,615,808 Shares issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
-
(b) the Tekkorp Shares were issued at a price of $0.03 per Share;
8
-
(c) from their date of issue, the Tekkorp Shares have ranked equally with the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(d) the Tekkorp Shares were issued to Tekkorp Holdings on 7 May 2019;
-
(e) the funds raised will be applied towards the GBS and CDK Deferred Payments; and
-
(f) a voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.
2.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5 in respect of Resolution 3
For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided:
-
(a) the number of Tekkorp Shares for which Shareholder ratification is being sought is 22,375,527 Shares issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;
-
(b) the Tekkorp Shares were issued at a price of $0.03 per Share;
-
(c) from their date of issue, the Tekkorp Shares have ranked equally with the Company’s existing Shares;

-
(e) the funds raised will be applied towards the GBS and CDK Deferred Payments; and
-
(f) a voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.
2.5 Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that you vote in favour of Resolutions 2 and 3.
3. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO AMEND TERMS OF CEO OPTIONS
3.1 General
Prior to the Company listing on the ASX on 11 December 2015, the Company’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Todd Buckingham, was issued 16,667,000 unquoted options ( CEO Options ) exercisable at $0.25 per CEO Option on or before 12 November 2020 ( CEO Expiry Date ) on the following key terms:
-
(a) in respect of 10,000,000 CEO Options, the CEO Options will vest on the earlier of:
-
(i) the Company achieving gross revenue of at least $3 million over a period of three consecutive months prior to the CEO Expiry Date;
-
(ii) the Company’s 20 day VWAP of Shares being at least $0.50 on or before the CEO Expiry Date ( $0.50 VWAP Condition ); and
-
(iii) a Change of Control Event occurring prior to the CEO Expiry Date; and
-
(b) in respect of 6,667,000 CEO Options, the CEO Options will vest on the earlier of:
-
(i) the Company achieving earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of at least $1 million over a period of three consecutive months prior to the CEO Expiry Date;
-
(ii) the Company’s 20 day VWAP of Shares being at least $1.00 on or before the CEO Expiry Date ( $1 VWAP Condition ); and
-
(iii) a Change of Control Event occurring prior to the CEO Expiry Date.
The purpose of issuing the CEO Options to Todd Buckingham was to incentivise his performance as CEO and align his interests with those of Shareholders in the context of the Company’s business focus as at the date of the IPO.
Since the CEO Options were granted to Todd Buckingham, as announced by the Company on 18 April 2018, the Company has shifted its business strategy to focus on the Company’s wholesale business, focusing on its B2B products ( Wholesale Business ). Given the focus on the Wholesale Business, the Company’s operational and financial drivers have shifted such that the disinterested Directors consider that the original terms of the CEO Options are no longer appropriate for their purpose.
Accordingly, the disinterested Directors are of the view that:
-
(a) the current terms of the CEO Options are no longer an effective mechanism for incentivising the performance of the Company’s CEO;
-
(b) Todd Buckingham is critical to the Company’s short and long-term success and, accordingly, it is important that a component of his remuneration package is comprised of at-risk, performance-based equity to incentivise and retain his services;
-
(c) the Company’s CEO and Managing Director should not be prejudiced by the Board’s strategic decision to shift focus and the allocation of Company resources with the effect that the terms of the CEO Options no longer incentivise his performance; and
-
(d) the Proposed Amendments (defined below) reflect the intention of the Company at the time the CEO Options were issued and provide a genuine incentive mechanism for Todd Buckingham going forward.
9
Accordingly, Resolution 4 seeks approval from Shareholders to amend the terms of the 16,667,000 CEO Options as follows:
-
(a) exercise price of $0.06 per CEO Option ( Amended Exercise Price );
-
(b) the CEO Options will expire on the date that is 3 years from the later of the date the Company receives:
-
(i) Shareholder approval of Resolution 4; and
-
(ii) a waiver in respect of ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3 from ASX (discussed below),
( Amended CEO Expiry Date ); and
-
(c) the CEO Options will vest on the earlier of:
-
(i) the Company achieving earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of at least $1 million over a period of three consecutive months prior to the Amended CEO Expiry Date*;
-
(ii) the 20 day VWAP of Shares being at least $0.15 on or before the Amended CEO Expiry Date ( Amended VWAP Condition ); and
-
(iii) a Change of Control Event occurring prior to the Amended CEO Expiry Date,
(together, the Proposed Amendments ).
There are no further amendments to the terms of the CEO Options.
This approval remains subject to the ASX approving the Company’s application for waiver in respect of ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3 (discussed below) ( ASX Waiver Application ). If the ASX grant a waiver of ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3 in respect of only some or part of the Proposed Amendments, or request changes to the Proposed Amendments which do not create any additional or greater benefit for Todd Buckingham than contemplated under the Proposed Amendments, ( ASX Approved Amendments ) then Shareholder approval under this Resolution will been deemed to have been given in respect of the ASX Approved Amendments. Accordingly, if Shareholders approve this Resolution, and ASX only grant a waiver of ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3 in respect of only some or part of the Proposed Amendments, the Company will only amend the CEO Options to the extent of the ASX Approved Amendments.
The Proposed Amendments are not designed to achieve a different outcome from that which was intended at the time the CEO Options were initially granted to Todd Buckingham. Further, the Proposed Amendments do not seek to extract an economic benefit from the Company at the expense of Shareholders, nor are they providing an undue advantage to Mr Buckingham or causing any detriment to Shareholders. Approval of the Proposed Amendments is being sought from Shareholders in order to provide a genuine incentive mechanism for Mr Buckingham.
3.2 ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3
A change which has the effect of reducing the exercise price or increasing the period for exercise is prohibited under ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3. For this reason, the Company has sought a waiver of ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3 to allow the Proposed Amendments to be applied to the CEO Options.
Grounds for the ASX Waiver Application submitted by the Company include:
-
(a) the Proposed Amendments to the CEO Options are subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval;
-
(b) the CEO Options are, and will remain unquoted;
-
(c) the Proposed Amendments are highly unlikely to have a material impact on the market for the Company’s quoted securities;
-
(d) as at the date of this Notice, the CEO Options represent 5.49% of the Company’s fully diluted issued capital;
-
(e) if Resolutions 1, 5 and 6 are approved, and the Rights Issue completes, the CEO Options will represent 3.73% of the Company’s fully diluted issued capital;
-
(f) if Resolutions 1, 5 and 6 are not approved, and the Rights Issue completes, the CEO Options will represent 4.13% of the Company’s fully diluted issued capital;
-
(g) with respect to the Amended Exercise Price:
-
(i) as at the date the Company listed on the ASX (shortly after the CEO Options were issued), the trading price was $0.20. This means that the CEO Options at the time of listing (with an exercise price of $0.25) had an exercise price with a 20% premium to the listing price; and
-
(ii) the Share price as at the latest closing date prior to the date of the ASX Waiver Application (as at the close of 10 May 2019) is $0.042. On the basis of the reduction in the exercise price to $0.06, the CEO Options will have an exercise price with a 30% premium to the current trading price;
-
As determined by the Chief Financial Officer on the basis of the Company’s management accounts and approved by the Company's Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
10
-
(h) with respect to the Amended VWAP Condition:
-
(i) the weighted average price of the $0.50 VWAP Condition and the $1 VWAP Condition is $0.70 which was 3.5x the IPO Share price of $0.20; and
-
(ii) the Amended VWAP Condition of $0.15 is 3.5x the Share price as at 10 May 2019 of $0.042;
-
(i) based on the Share price as at 17 May 2019, the CEO Options will not be “in the money” and, therefore, will continue to act as an incentive; and
-
(j) if the CEO Options are exercised, the Company will receive $1 million to drive the Company’s operations and drive Shareholder value.
3.3 Summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Under section 208 of the Corporations Act, for a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party (such as a director of the Company), the public company or entity must obtain the approval of the company’s members unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 and 216 of the Corporations Act. Section 229 of the Corporations Act defines “financial benefit” broadly and states that the economic and commercial substance of the conduct is to prevail over its legal form. Accordingly, while it is not proposed that additional equity will be issued to Todd Buckingham, the disinterested Directors considered it prudent to consider Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in agreeing to the Proposed Amendments. While the disinterested Directors do not consider that the Proposed Amendments confer any additional financial benefit on Todd Buckingham, if it were found that the Proposed Amendments did constitute a financial benefit, the disinterested Directors consider that the Proposed Amendments constitute reasonable remuneration for Todd Buckingham’s role and, as such, falls within the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act. In reaching this view, the disinterested Directors have considered:
-
(a) the position and responsibilities of Todd Buckingham;
-
(b) the Company’s reliance on a limited number of executive and Board personnel;
-
(c) the increasing time commitment and workload required of the Company’s CEO to drive the Company’s operations, strategies and objectives;
-
(d) the need for the Company to effectively incentivise the Company’s CEO while aligning the incentive with increasing shareholder value;
-
(e) the composition and value of the remuneration packages of chief executive officers of other ASX-listed companies of similar size and circumstances to that of the Company;
-
(f) the desirability of preserving cash resources within the Company; and
-
(g) the terms of the CEO Options.
The Board believes that the CEO Options are an effective remuneration tool which preserves the cash reserves of the Company whilst providing valuable remuneration and incentive to Todd Buckingham.
3.4 Board Recommendation
The Board (other than Todd Buckingham) recommends that you vote in favour of Resolution 4. Mr Buckingham has abstained from making a recommendation to Shareholders in respect of Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution.
4. RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6 – APPROVAL OF DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION IN LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AND ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS

-

4.4 Summary of ASX Listing Rule 10.14
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires Shareholder approval to be obtained in respect of an issue of equity securities (which includes Options) under an employee incentive plan to a Director of the Company. If approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 10.11.
4.5 Summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section (j) of this Explanatory Memorandum.
Section 229 of the Corporations Act includes, as an example of a “financial benefit”, the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party. Accordingly, the proposed issue of Director Options to Nicholas Chan and Simon Dulhunty under Resolutions 5 and 6, respectively, constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to a related party.
In respect of each Resolution, the disinterested Directors consider that the proposed issue of the Director Options under the respective Resolution constitutes reasonable remuneration to the respective Director and, as such, falls within the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act. In reaching this view, the disinterested Directors considered:
-
(a) the position and responsibilities of each of Mr Chan and Mr Dulhunty;
-
(b) the Company’s reliance on a limited number of executive and Board personnel;
-
(c) the increasing time commitment and workload required of each of Mr Chan and Mr Dulhunty to drive and monitor, and to support management in executing on, the Company’s strategies and objectives;
-
(d) the considerable contribution that each of Mr Chan and Mr Dulhunty, respectively, have made and continue to make to the growth of the Company’s relatively young Wholesale Business;
-
(e) that the cash remuneration paid in respect of directors fees for either Mr Chan and Mr Dulhunty has not been increased since the Company listed on the ASX in December 2015, and the overall remuneration for directors fees (including equity) has not been revised since March 2017;
-
(f) the need for the Company to effectively incentivise and reward each of Mr Chan and Mr Dulhunty while aligning that incentive with the interests of shareholders;
-
(g) the desirability of preserving cash resources within the Company;
-
(h) the composition and value of the remuneration packages of non-executive directors of other ASX-listed companies of similar size and circumstances to that of the Company; and
-
(i) the terms of the Director Options in light of the Company’s business objectives and the current Share price.
The Board believes that the Director Options are an effective remuneration tool which preserves the cash reserves of the Company whilst providing valuable remuneration and incentive to Mr Chan and Mr Dulhunty.
Accordingly, Shareholders are being asked to approve the issue of the Director Options in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14 only.

5. RESOLUTION 7 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
5.1 General
In accordance with section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act, the Company submits to Shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of a special resolution for the name of the Company to be changed to ‘BetMakers Technology Group Limited’. The proposed name has been reserved by the Company with ASIC.

The Board believes that the change of name is necessary to more accurately reflect the operations of the Company as a technology service provider.
Resolution 7 is a special resolution and, therefore, requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote.
In accordance with section 157(3) of the Corporations Act, the change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.
