The Annual Report will be presented to the meeting.

4 Resolutions

4.1 Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report

That approval be given for the adoption of the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2025.”

(a) Introduction

Section 250R of the Corporations Act requires that a resolution be put to the Shareholders to receive, approve and adopt the Remuneration Report, as it is disclosed in the Annual Report. Shareholders are asked to adopt the Remuneration Report. The Remuneration Report is set out on pages 16 to 30 of the 2025 Annual Report.

The Remuneration Report discusses matters including (but not limited to):

  • (i) Board policies in relation to the nature and amount of remuneration paid to Directors and executives;

  • (ii) the relationship between the Board policies and the Company’s performance; and

  • (iii) the remuneration arrangements in place for the directors and key executives of the Company.

Page 8

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Remuneration Report to be adopted and put to the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for the Shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, a vote on this resolution is advisory and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, under section 300A(1)(g) of the Corporations Act, if more than 25% or more of the votes cast on this Resolution 1 are against adopting the Remuneration Report, the Company will be required to consider and report to shareholders in the next Remuneration Report on what action (if any) has been taken in response to shareholder concerns, and if no action is proposed to be taken, the Board's reason for this inaction.

At the 2024 annual general meeting, the Company received a vote of 36.61% in favour of the adoption of the 2025 Remuneration Report and 63.39% against. Because the votes "against" exceeded 25% of the votes cast, the Company recorded what is known as a "first strike" under the executive remuneration provisions of the Corporations Act.

Shareholders are encouraged to read the below section of this Explanatory Memorandum for further details on the consequences of voting on this Resolution.

A reasonable opportunity for discussion of, and comment on, the Remuneration Report will be provided by the Chair at the Meeting.

(b) Voting consequences

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 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. Resolution 4 sets out the Spill Resolution.

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.

Therefore, if the Spill Resolution is passed, then:

  • Grant Carman, John Chambers and Sammy Saloum will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting;

  • Grant Carman, John Chambers and Sammy Saloum may each stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting;

  • Kesh Nair is not required to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting, as the Company's CEO (or 'managing director'); and

  • Joe Foster is not required to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting, as he was not a director of the Company at the time the Directors signed-off on the directors' report (as included in the Company's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2025).

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company, along with Kesh Nair and Joe Foster (assuming they each remain directors at the time of the Spill Meeting).

Page 9

(c) Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company shall disregard and not count any votes cast on Resolution 1 by or on behalf of either or both of the following persons:

  • (i) a member of the Company's Key Management Personnel; or

  • (ii) a Closely Related Party of a member of the Company's Key Management Personnel.

For the purposes of this voting exclusion, Key Management Personnel are the directors of the Company and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2025 identifies the Company's Key Management Personnel for that financial year.

However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

  • (iii) it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on a valid proxy form; or

  • (iv) it is cast by the Chair of the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on a valid proxy form to vote as the proxy decides and expressly authorizes the Chair to so vote.

(d) Directors' Recommendation

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report, Shareholders are asked to adopt the Remuneration Report and vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Shareholders should note that the Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of

adopting the Remuneration Report.

4.2 Resolution 2: Election of Director – Joe Foster

"That, pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 14.4, clause 62.1 of the Constitution and for all other purposes, Joseph Patrick Foster, Director, who was appointed as an addition to the Board on 1 September 2025, retires and being eligible pursuant to clause 62.2 of the Constitution, be elected as a Director on the terms and conditions in the Explanatory Memorandum."

Joe resigned as an executive director and CEO and moved into the role of Global Chief Operations Officer on 21 November 2024. Joe was appointed as a non-executive director on 1 September 2025. This appointement coincided with Joe's resignation as Global Chief Operations Officer. In doing so, Joe has transitioned to a non-executive director position whilst entering into a consulting role with the Company on 1 September 2025.

Joe has more than 40 years’ experience in the flexible packaging industry, with experience in engineering, production, technical, sales and marketing.

Group.

The Board seeks to ensure that the combination of its members provides an appropriate range of experience, skills, diversity, personal qualities, tenure and expertise to enable it to carry out its obligations and responsibilities. Joe's extensive knowledge of the Company and industry experience are a valuable contribution to Board discussions and decision making.

(c) Recommendation

The Board (with Joe Foster abstaining) recommends voting in favour of Resolution 2 for the election of Joseph Patrick Foster to the Board of the Company.

The Board intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

4.3 Resolution 3: Re-election of Director – Sammy Saloum

That Sammy Saloum, being a Director of the Company who retires from the office of Director by rotation in accordance with clause 63 of the Company’s Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, and being eligible and offering himself for re-election, be re-elected as a Director of the Company .”

(a) Introduction

ASX Listing Rule 14.5 imposes a requirement on the Company to hold an election of Directors at each annual general meeting.

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 63.1 of the Constitution provide that a Director (other than the Managing Director) may not hold office for more than three years or beyond the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment (whichever is the longer period) without submitting for re-election.

Any Director who retires in accordance with clause 63.1 of the Constitution is eligible for reelection.

(b) Retirement by rotation and re-election of Sammy Saloum

Sammy Saloum retires in accordance with clause 63.1 of the Constitution and offers himself for re-election.

Sammy was appointed as a Director on 23 November 2023.

Sammy was the chief executive of ISP Tek Services, a leading refurbisher and distributor of consumer electronics based in Texas that the Company acquired full ownership of in April 2023.

For over 25 years, Sammy has been a leader in omnichannel retail, merchandising, marketing, financial services and reverse logistics.

(c) Recommendation

The Board (with Sammy Saloum abstaining) recommends voting in favour of Resolution 3 for the re-election of Sammy Saloum to the Board of the Company.

Page 11

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

4.4 Resolution 4: Holding a Spill Meeting

(a) Introduction

The Corporations Act provides that if at least 25% of the votes cast on the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings are against adopting the Remuneration Report, shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on a "Spill Resolution".

At last year's annual general meeting, at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report were against adopting the report.

If it is unclear during the Meeting that less than 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report, Resolution 4 will be put to the meeting and voted on as required by section 250V of the Corporations Act ( Spill Resolution ). In the event that this Resolution is passed, it will only be effective if, once the formal results of the poll conducted on Resolution 1 are settled, at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

If it is clear during the meeting that less than 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against adopting the Remuneration Report at the Meeting, then there will be no second strike and Resolution 4 will not be put to the Meeting.

If put to shareholders, the Spill Resolution will be considered as an ordinary resolution.

Shareholders should note that if the Spill Resolution is passed:

  • (i) the Company will convene a general meeting of members to be held within 90 days of the date of the Meeting ( Spill Meeting );

  • (ii) each of Grant Carman, Sammy Saloum and John Chambers, who were directors when the last Directors' Report was approved by the Board ( Relevant Directors ), will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting;

  • (iii) Kesh Nair is not required to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting, as the Company's CEO (or 'managing director'); and

  • (iv) Joe Foster is not required to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting, as he is not a Relevant Director (not having been a Director when last Directors' Report was approved by the Board).

Each Relevant Director is eligible to seek re-election as a director of the Company at the Spill Meeting.

Even if Sammy Saloum is re-elected at the Annual General Meeting, he will still be subject to the Spill Resolution and will need to be re-elected at the Spill Meeting if he is to remain a director.

Shareholders should be aware that if the Spill Resolution is passed, the convening of a Spill Meeting will result in the Company incurring material additional expense in conducting the meeting as well as the potential disruption to its focus on core business operations. Shareholders should also note that there are no voting exclusions applicable to the resolutions appointing directors at the Spill Meeting.

(b) Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company shall disregard and not count any votes cast on Resolution 4 by or on behalf of either or both of the following persons:

  • (i) a member of the Company's Key Management Personnel; or

  • (ii) a Closely Related Party of a member of the Company's Key Management Personnel.

Page 12

For the purposes of this voting exclusion, Key Management Personnel are the directors of the Company and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2025 identifies the Company's Key Management Personnel for that financial year.

However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

  • (iii) it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on a valid proxy form; or

  • (iv) it is cast by the Chair of the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on a valid proxy form to vote as the proxy decides and expressly authorizes the Chair to so vote.

(c) Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote against Resolution 4 if put to shareholders.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies against Resolution 4 if put to shareholders.

4.5 Resolution 5: Approval of Performance Rights Plan

(a) Introduction

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if, and to the extent that, the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities under the Performance Rights Plan ( PRP ) to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12-month period.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not have the benefit of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13) to issue equity securities under the PRP, which would mean that the issue of any securities under the PRP would need to be included in the Company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The objective of the PRP is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the PRP and the future issue of Shares under the PRP will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Any future issues of equity securities under the PRP to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13, the following information is provided:

Page 13

  • (i) a summary of the terms of the PRP is detailed in Schedule 1;

  • (ii) as the PRP is a new employee incentive scheme, no person has received Performance Rights under the Plan;

  • (iii) a maximum of 53.1 million Performance Rights (being 10% of the Company's existing issued share capital) are proposed to be issued under the PRP in the next 3 years; and

  • (iv) a voting exclusion statement has been included in the Notice for this Resolution 5.

A summary of the key terms and conditions of the PRP are set out in Schedule 1 of this Explanatory Memorandum. In addition, a copy of the PRP is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the PRP can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

(b) Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of each of Resolution 5 by or on behalf of:

  • (i) a person who is eligible to participate in the Performance Rights Plan in relation to the Company, or

  • (ii) any associates of those persons eligible to participate in the Company's Performance Rights Plan.

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of a resolution by:

  • (iii) a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or

  • (iv) the chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the chair to vote on the resolution as the chair decides; or

  • (v) a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • (vi) the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and

  • (vii) the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

(c) Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

4.6 Resolutions 6 and 7: Approval of participation in Performance Rights Plan by related party (Kesh Nair and Grant Carman)

(a) Introduction

The Board proposes to grant under the Performance Rights Plan:

  • (i) 1,500,000 Performance Rights to Kesh Nair; and

  • (ii) 1,000,000 Performance Rights to Grant Carman,

Page 14

(the Related Parties ), both of whom are directors of the Company and therefore fall within the category of ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1.

The Board believes the Performance Rights Plan will:

  • (i) encourage participants to focus on creating value for Shareholders;

  • (ii) link reward with the achievement of long-term performance in the Company;

  • (iii) encourage participants to remain with the Company by providing him with the opportunity to hold a financial stake in the Company; and

  • (iv) assist in the Company attracting and retaining high calibre Directors and employees.

(b) Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolutions 6 and 7 by or on behalf of:

  • (i) a person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1, 10.14.2 or 10.14.3, who is eligible to participate in the Performance Rights Plan (which includes each of Kesh Nair and Grant Carman); or

  • (ii) any associates of those persons.

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of a resolution by:

  • (i) a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or

  • (ii) the Chair of the Meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the chair to vote on the resolution as the chair decides; or

  • (iii) a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • (iv) the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and

  • (v) the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

In addition, a vote must not be cast on Resolutions 6 and 7 as a proxy by a member of the Key Management Personnel at the date of the Meeting, or a Closely Related Party of those persons, unless it is cast as proxy for a person entitled to vote in accordance with their directions. This restriction on voting undirected proxies does not apply to the Chair of the Meeting because the proxy appointment expressly authorises the Chair of the Meeting to exercise undirected proxies even if the resolution is connected, directly or indirectly, with the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel.

(c) Approval for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must only allow Directors or their associates to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme with the approval of shareholders and provided the Notice of Meeting complies with the requirements set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.15.

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14), issues of securities that receive shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 do not require approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Performance Rights Plan is an employee incentive scheme for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules.

Page 15

The Board proposes to invite the Related Parties to be granted Performance Rights under the Performance Rights Plan and therefore seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.15.4, the Related Parties' current base remuneration (excluding superannuation and incentives) is:

Kesh Nair $300,000 per annum
Grant Carman $90,000 per annum

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 10.15.6 and 10.15.9, a summary of the material terms of the equity securities and the value attributed to them by the Company are listed in Table A and Table B below.

The effect of passing Resolutions 6 and 7 will be to allow the Company to issue an aggregate of 2,500,000 Performance Rights to two of the Company's Directors without using up the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

As Shareholder approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required. Accordingly, the grant of Performance Rights to Directors, Kesh Nair and Grant Carman pursuant to Resolutions 6 and 7 will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

(d) Terms on which Performance Rights will be granted

TABLE A : The key terms of the Performance Rights to be granted under the Performance Right Plan to the Related Parties are set out in the following table:

Schedule 1 – Summary of Performance Rights Plan

Objective

The objective of the Company's Performance Rights Plan ( PRP ) is to attract, motivate and retain Directors, employees and consultants and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the PRP and the future issue of securities pursuant to the terms of the Performance Rights Plan will provide eligible participants with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Rationale

The Board believes that the PRP will:

  • (a) encourage participants to focus on creating value for Shareholders;

  • (b) link reward with the achievement of long-term performance in the Company;

  • (c) encourage participants to remain with the Company by providing them with the opportunity to hold a financial stake in the Company; and

  • (d) assist in the Company attracting and retaining high calibre Directors and employees.

Key Features

Directors and full-time and part-time employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (Participants), who are selected by the Board, will be eligible to participate in the PRP.

Participants are granted by the Company a specified number of Performance Rights under the PRP which are subject to restrictions to be determined by the Board. Each Performance Right represents a right to acquire an ordinary share in the capital of the Company ( Share ) at no cost i.e. effectively a share option with an exercise price set at zero.

  • The Board may determine that Performance Rights to be granted to Participants will be subject to:

  • (a) 'Vesting Conditions'; and

  • (b) 'Forfeiture Conditions',

which must be detailed in the invitations made to Participants.

The nature and content of the 'Vesting Conditions' are to be determined by the Board and may include conditions relating to any or all of:

  • (a) continuing employment / engagement of services with the Company;

  • (b) performance of the Participant;

  • (c) performance of the Company; or

  • (d) the occurrence of specific events.

Unless determined otherwise by the Board, while Performance Rights are held by a Participant under the PRP, they are subject to forfeiture if any of the following 'Forfeiture Conditions' are satisfied:

  • (a) if the Participant ceases to be employed or provide services to the Company, but only in certain circumstances as set out in the rules of the PRP; or

  • (b) if, in the opinion of the Board, any of the Vesting Conditions have not been or cannot be satisfied for any reason.

If the applicable 'Vesting Conditions' are satisfied, the Participant can choose to 'exercise' Performance

Page 20

Rights and acquire the Shares at any time between the date of vesting and expiry of the term of the Performance Rights.

Cessation of employment or office

In the event of resignation or dismissal, a Participant may retain all vested but unexercised Performance Rights granted under the PRP. However, unless the Participant is a special circumstances leaver such as a retiree, the Participant will forfeit unvested Performance Rights held at termination (subject to the Boards discretion to determine otherwise). A special circumstances leaver will generally retain a pro-rated portion of unvested Performance Rights held at termination and having regard to the extent to which any performance conditions have been achieved.

Other features

Unless the Board determines otherwise, Performance Rights granted under the PRP are not capable of being transferred or encumbered by a Participant.

Performance Rights do not carry any dividend or voting rights however Shares issued to Participants on exercise of a Performance Right carry the same rights and entitlements as other Shares on issue. The Company will not seek quotation of any Performance Rights on the ASX.

All unvested Performance Rights will automatically vest in the event of a Change of Control of the Company, defined under the rules of the PRP to mean:

  • (a) the merger or consolidation of the Company into another company;

  • (b) the acquisition of more than 50% of Shares of the Company by one or more parties who are associated (as defined by the Corporations Act); or

  • (c) any event which the Board determines, in its discretion, to be equivalent to an event referred to in (a) or (b) of the definition above.
