If passed, this Resolution will allow the Company to allot and issue up to the number of new Equity Securities calculated in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.2 ( Placement Securities ) each at an issue price of at least 75% of the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) for the Company’s Equity Securities in that class (calculated over the last 15 days on which trades in the Equity Securities are recorded immediately before the date on which the price at which the Placement Securities are to be issued is agreed, or if the Placement Securities are not issued within ten trading days of that date, the date on which the Placement Securities are issued) ( Issue Price ).
This approval is sought pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. Under Listing Rule 7.1A, small and mid-cap listed entities that meet the eligibility threshold and have obtained the approval of their ordinary shareholders by Special Resolution at the Annual General Meeting, are permitted to issue an additional 10% of issued capital over a 12 month period from the date of the Annual General Meeting ( Additional 10%

Placement ). The Additional 10% Placement under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the ability of the Company to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval over a 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
Funds raised from the issue of Placement Securities, if undertaken, would be applied towards the continued growth of the Company’s business operations (including client growth) and general working capital.
6.2 Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) General
(1) Eligibility
An entity is eligible to undertake an Additional 10% Placement if at the time of its Annual General Meeting it has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less and it is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index.
As required by the Listing Rules, the Company’s market capitalisation will be based on the closing price on the Trading Day before the AGM. The calculation of market capitalisation will be based on the Closing Price of Shares on the last Trading Day on which trades in the Shares were recorded before the date of the AGM, multiplied by the number of Shares on issue (in that main class, but excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis).
For illustrative purposes only, on 5 October 2021 the Company’s market capitalisation was approximately $42 million based on the closing trading price on that date. The Company is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index as at the time of issue of this Notice of Meeting and the Company does not expect that it will be included in the S&P/ASX300 Index at the date of the AGM.
The Company is therefore an eligible entity and able to undertake an Additional 10% Placement under Listing Rule 7.1A. In the event that the Company is no longer an eligible entity to undertake an Additional 10% Placement after the Company has already obtained Shareholder approval, the approval obtained will not lapse and the Company will still be entitled to undertake the Additional 10% Placement.
(2) Special Resolution
Listing Rule 7.1A requires this Resolution 4 to be passed as a Special Resolution, which means that it must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the Resolution. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A, no Placement Securities will be issued until and unless this Special Resolution is passed at the Meeting.
(3) Shareholder Approval
The ability to issue the Placement Securities is conditional upon the Company obtaining Shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution at the Meeting.
(b) 10% Placement Period - Listing Rule 7.1A.1
Assuming Resolution 4 is passed, Shareholder approval of the Additional 10% Placement under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the AGM and expires on the earlier to occur of:
- a. the date that is 12 months after the date of the AGM;
Change Financial Limited
Page 15
Explanatory Memorandum
-
b. the time and date of the Company’s next AGM; or
-
c. the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of 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),
or such longer period if allowed by ASX.
If approval is given for the issue of the Placement Securities, then the approval will expire, on 25 November 2022, unless the Company holds its next Meeting or Shareholder approval is granted pursuant to Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2 prior to that date.
(c) Formula for calculating Additional 10% Placement
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that Eligible Entities that 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 ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary securities under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4 (but note that this does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary securities under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval); and
-
less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that “A” has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
D is 10%.
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1A.3
(1) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
As at the date of this notice of meeting, the only class of Equity Securities in the Company quoted on the ASX are ordinary shares. The Company presently has 397,888,668 shares on issue at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
(2) Minimum Issue Price
Change Financial Limited
Page 16
Explanatory Memorandum
The issue price for the Placement Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days immediately before:
-
a. the date on which the price at which the relevant Placement Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Placement Securities; or
-
b. if the relevant Placement Securities are not issued within ten trading days of the date in paragraph (A) above, the date on which the relevant Placement Securities are issued.
(e) Information to be given to ASX – Listing Rule 7.1A.4
If Resolution 4 is passed and the Company issues any Placement Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the Company will comply with the requirements of 7.1A.4.
(f) Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 397,888,668 Shares, and therefore has the capacity to issue:
-
i. 59,683,300 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
ii. 39,788,866 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Placement Securities that the Company will have the capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Placement Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as described above).
6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
- (a) A statement of the period for which the approval will be valid (as set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.1) – Listing Rule 7.3A.1
The Company will only issue and allot the Placement Securities during the approval period. The approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of the Placement Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities of the Company) or Listing Rule 11.2 (the disposal of the main undertaking of the Company), or the Company holds its next Meeting before the 12 month anniversary of the Meeting.
(b) Minimum price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A - Listing Rule 7.3A.2
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.3, the Placement Securities issued pursuant to approval under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for cash consideration and have an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Equity Securities over the 15 trading days immediately before:
-
the date on which the price at which the Placement Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the Placement Securities are not issued within ten trading days of the date in paragraph (1) above, the date on which the Placement Securities are issued.
The Company will disclose to the ASX the issue price on the date of issue of the Placement Securities.

Explanatory Memorandum
- (c) A statement of the purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 may be used – Listing Rule 7.3A.3
As noted above, the purpose for which the Placement Securities may be issued include to be applied towards the continued growth of the Company’s business operations (including client growth) and general working capital.
(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution - Listing Rule 7.3A.4
As provided by Listing Rule 7.3A.4, if Resolution 4 is passed and the Company issues the Placement Securities, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution to the existing Shareholders. The Company currently has on issue 397,888,668 Shares and 6,050,000 Options. On this basis, following approval of the Additional 10% Placement, the Company will have approval to issue an additional 39,788,866 Equity Securities. The exact number of Placement Shares to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement will be calculated in accordance with the formula contained in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 and set out above. Any issue of Placement Securities will have a dilutive effect on existing Shareholders.
There is a specific risk that:
-
the Market Price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of any Placement Securities than it is on the date of the Meeting; and
-
the Placement Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount 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 or the value of the Placement Securities.
As required by Listing Rule 7.3A.4, Table 1 below shows the potential economic and voting dilution effect, in circumstances where the issued share capital has doubled and the Market Price of the shares has halved. Table 1 also shows additional scenarios in which the issued share capital has increased (by both 50% and 100%) and the Market Price of the shares has:
-
decreased by 50%; and
-
increased by 100%.

Explanatory Memorandum
Assumptions and explanations
-
§ The Market Price is $0.11, based on the closing price of the shares on ASX on 5 October 2021.
-
§ The above table only shows the dilutionary effect based on the issue of the Placement Securities (assuming only Shares are issued), and not any Shares issued under the 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
§ The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued Share capital at the time of issue.
-
§ The Company issues the maximum number of Placement Securities.
-
§ The issued share capital has been calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A2 as at 5 October 2021.
-
§ The issue price of the Placement Securities used in the table is the same as the Market Price and does not take into account the discount to the Market Price (if any).
(e) Company’s allocation policy - Listing Rule 7.3A.5
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue of the Placement Securities. The identity of the allottees of Placement Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to a number of factors including but not limited to the following:
-
the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including, but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing shareholders can participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the Placement Securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees of the Placement Securities have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
(f) Previous issues under Shareholder Approval previously obtained under Listing Rule 7.1A –Listing Rule 7.3A.6
The Company has not issued or agreed to issue any equity securities under rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the date of the meeting.
(g) Voting Exclusion Statement – Listing rule 7.3A.7
The Company is not proposing to make an issue of equity securities under 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, however a voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. At the date of the Notice, the proposed allottees of any Placement Securities are not as yet known or identified. In these circumstances (and in accordance with the note set out in Listing Rule 14.11.1 relating to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), for a person’s vote to be excluded, it must be known that that person will participate in the proposed issue. Where it is not known who will participate in the proposed issue (as is the case in respect of the Placement Securities), Shareholders must consider the proposal on the basis that they may or may not get a benefit and that it is possible that their holding will be diluted and there is no reason to exclude their votes.
