Of the $8 million payable to the vendors of Code Camp (per the table below), $1.3 million is payable in cash and the balance, being $6.7 million, is payable in the form of 5,987,489 new Shares.

On or around 1 October 2021, the Company expects to have issued 2,986,612 new Shares to the vendors of Code Camp, as part payment of the Share consideration component of the Purchase Price. This issuance of new Shares, which is the subject of the ratification being sought by the Company in Resolution 5, was made out of the Company’s then available placement capacity under Listing Rue 7.1.
As the above noted issue of 2,986,612 new Shares to the Code Camp vendors utilised the remainder of the Company’s then available Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under that rule to issue the remainder of the Share consideration component of the Purchase Price, being 3,000,877 new Shares, to the vendors of Code Camp.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3.

Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares
Resolution 5 - Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares to vendors of Codecamp Holdings Pty Ltd
Background
As noted above, on or around 1 October 2021, the Company expects to have issued 2,986,612 new Shares to the vendors of Code Camp (as per the table in Resolution 4) as part payment of the Share consideration component of the Purchase Price.
This issuance of new Shares was made out of the Company’s then available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
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.
The issue of the Shares to the vendors of Code Camp did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it was not pre-approved by Shareholders, it effectively used up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following their issue date.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows shareholders of a listed company to ratify an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made so long as that issue or agreement to issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. If the resolution is passed, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue of 2,986,612 new Shares to the vendors of Code Camp, which is expected to have occurred on or around 1 October 2021.
If this Resolution is passed, the issue of these new Shares 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 their issue date.
If this Resolution is not passed, the issue of these new Shares will be included 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 their issue date.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5.
- (a) The 2,986,612 new Shares the subject of this Resolution were issued to the vendors of all of the shares in Code Camp as per the table provided above.

Directors’ recommendation
The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for this Resolution.
Resolution 6 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Placement Shares
Background
As first announced by the Company to ASX on 30 August 2021, the Company issued 10,434,783 new Shares ( Placement Shares ) to a number of sophisticated and professional investors to raise $12 million[1] ( Placement ).
The funds raised under the Placement will be used by the Company to support the acquisition and growth of Code Camp, assist in funding further growth opportunities, and to pay the costs of the Placement.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
This Resolution proposes that Shareholders ratify the prior issue of the Placement Shares, which was completed on 7 September 2021.
All of the Placement Shares were issued by the Company by utilising its then available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
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.
The issue of the Placement Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by Shareholders, it effectively used up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue date.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows shareholders of a listed company to ratify an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made so long as that issue or agreement to issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. If they do pass such a resolution, the issue is taken to have been approved under
1 The Company also announced a Share Purchase Plan to raise a further $2 million.

Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue of the Placement Shares which occurred on 7 September 2021.
If this Resolution is passed, the issue of the Placement Shares 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 this Resolution is not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be included 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.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5.
-
(a) The Placement Shares were issued by the Company to a number of sophisticated and professional investors in Australia and overseas.
-
(b) Under the Placement, the Company issued 10,434,783 fully paid ordinary shares.
-
(c) The Placement Shares were issued by the Company on 7 September 2021.
-
(d) Each of the Placement Shares were issued at an issue price of $1.15 per Placement Share, which raised $12 million (before costs).
-
(e) The gross proceeds raised under the Placement will be used to support the acquisition and growth of Code Camp, assist in funding further growth opportunities and to pay the costs of the Placement.
-
(f) The Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement the nature of which needs to be disclosed under and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3.7.
For further information in relation to the Placement and the acquisition of Code Camp, please see the Company’s ASX announcements dated 30 August 2021 available at ASX’s website www.asx.com.au.
Directors’ recommendation
The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for this Resolution.
Ratification of Prior Issue of equity securities
Resolution 7 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Employee Options
Resolution 8 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Performance Rights
Background
On 3 May 2021, the Company issued 3,567,000 unlisted options ( Employee Options ) and 775,000 performance rights ( Employee Performance Rights ) to various employees under the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan[2] ( Incentive Plan ). The Company issued a further 170,000 Employee Options to various employees under the Incentive Plan on 31 August 2021. Since the Company’s prospectus lodged with ASX on 8 December 2020 ( Prospectus ) did not state a numerical reference to the maximum number of securities that could be issued under the Incentive Plan the Company

is technically unable to rely on Exception 13 of Listing Rule 7.2 in respect of those issues (meaning that those issues have reduced the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Resolutions 7 and 8 propose that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the prior issue of the Employee Options and Employee Performance Rights which were issued on 3 May 2021 and 31 August 2021.
All of the Employee Options and Employee Performance Rights were issued under and in accordance with the Company’s then available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
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.
As detailed above, the issue of Employee Options and Employee Performance Rights did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by the Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s ability to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue date.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows shareholders of a listed company to ratify an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made so long as that issue or agreement to issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. If the resolution is passed, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolutions 7 and 8 respectively seek Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Employee Options and Employee Performance Rights for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 7 is passed, the issue of Employee 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 7 is not passed, the issue of Employee Options will be included 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 8 is passed, the issue of Employee Performance Rights 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 8 is not passed, the issue of Employee Performance Rights will be included 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.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5.

Directors’ recommendation
The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for these Resolutions.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Resolution 9 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Approval of Future Issue of
Securities
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% placement 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 20 September 2021, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $166 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 by way of a special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.
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.
Cluey Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
24
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 provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
The following information is provided to Shareholder for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.
Period for which the approval will be valid
An approval under this Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first of the following to occur:
-
(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. However, if Shareholders approve this Resolution and the Company does raise funds from the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company considers that it is likely that the funds may be used for any (or all) of the following purposes:
-
(a) to finance or partially finance additional growth opportunities, which may include an acquisition of a new company or business within the EdTech industry;
-
(b) for working capital purposes and/or to pay the costs of the issuance of equity securities that is made by the Company under Listing Rule 7.1A.
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
Cluey Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
25
- (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.

Notes:
-
(a) Based on the total number of Shares on issue as at 20 September 2021.
-
(b) Based on the closing price of Shares on ASX on 20 September 2021.
-
(c) The table assumes that the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
(d) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of 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 the likely future capital requirements; and
-
(e) advice from the Company’s corporate or financial advisors.
Based on the Company’s historical cash flow 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 is not certain. As of the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company does not have a specific intention to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. In addition, no decision
Cluey Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
26
has been made 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 reserves the right to determine at the time of any issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the allocation policy that the Company will adopt for that issue.
If the determination is made to proceed with an issue of equity securities during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, details regarding the proposed 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 cast in favour of this Resolution.
Directors’ recommendation
The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for this Resolution.
Adoption of Incentive Plan
Resolution 10 – Ratify adoption of Incentive Plan
Background
Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder ratification of the Company’s decision to adopt the Incentive Plan in December 2020.
While the Prospectus did contain a detailed summary of the terms of the Incentive Plan, it did not state the maximum number of securities that can be issued under the Incentive Plan. Accordingly, any issues under the Incentive Plan will not technically fit within the exception set out in Listing Rule 7.1 (exception 13(a)) which allows a company to issue equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without utilising its capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Ratification of the Incentive Plan by Shareholders will permit the Company to avail itself of Listing Rule 7.1(exception 13(b)) as set out below.
A summary of the key terms of the Incentive Plan is set out in Annexure B, and a copy of the rules of the Incentive Plan is available upon request from the Company. A copy of the Incentive Plan was also lodged on ASX on 8 December 2020.
ASX Listing Rules
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.
If this Resolution is passed, it will have the effect of enabling any securities issued by the Company under the Incentive Plan in the next three years to be automatically excluded from the formula to calculate the number of securities which the Company may issue in any 12 month period in Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company advises that Shareholder approval for the Incentive Plan has not been previously
Cluey Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
27
sought from Shareholders under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, this would be the first time that the Company has sought Shareholder approval for the Incentive Plan for the purposes of the Listing Rules. If this Resolution is passed by Shareholders, the Company will be able to issue up to a maximum of 10,000,000 Options, Performance Rights or any other type of security as set out and explained under the Incentive Plan, during the three year period following approval (for the purposes of exception 13) and in any event will issue only the number of securities that it is able to issue to remain within the 5% limit set by ASIC Class Order [CO 14/1000].
Shareholder loans
The Board may, in its discretion, also determine that the Company will provide limited recourse loans to participants to use to pay the subscription price for the purchase of Loan Shares (as that term is defined in the Incentive Plan) under the Incentive Plan.
Permit the Company to take security over its own Shares
Section 259B(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company taking security over shares in itself or in a company that controls it, unless one of the exceptions in sections 259B(2) or 259B(3) applies. Section 259B(2) of the Corporations Act permits the taking of security by a Company over its own Shares, if the security is taken over shares issued under an employee share scheme approved at a meeting of shareholders via an Ordinary Resolution.
Employee share scheme is defined widely by the Corporations Act and includes the Incentive Plan.
Accordingly, Shareholder approval is being sought under this Resolution to permit the Company to take security over its own Shares issued under the Incentive Plan if required to do so.
Exemption for financial assistance
Section 260A of the Corporations Act provides that a company may financially assist a person to acquire shares in the company or a holding company of the company only if:
-
(a) giving of the assistance does not materially prejudice the interests of the company or its shareholders, or the company’s ability to pay its creditors;
-
(b) the assistance is approved by shareholders under section 260B of the Corporations Act; or
-
(c) the assistance is exempted under section 260C of the Corporations Act.
Section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act provides an exemption to financial assistance, if the financial assistance is given under an employee share scheme approved at a meeting of shareholders via an Ordinary Resolution.
Although the Board does not consider that the giving of financial benefit under the Incentive Plan will materially prejudice the interests of the Company or the Shareholders, or the Company’s ability to pay its creditors, Shareholder approval is being sought under this Resolution to enable the Company to qualify for the special exemption offered by section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act.
Employee share scheme buy-back
Section 257B(1) of the Corporations Act sets out the procedure for various forms of share buyback, including an “employee share scheme buy-back”. In order for the Company to undertake a buy-back of Shares under the Incentive Plan using the employee share scheme buy-back procedure under the Corporations Act, the Incentive Plan must be approved by Shareholders of the Company.
Accordingly, Shareholder approval is also being sought under this Resolution to approve the Incentive Plan to allow the Company to undertake a buy-back of Shares under the Incentive Plan, should it in the future need to, using the employee share scheme buy-back procedure under the Corporations Act.

Directors Recommendation

Issue of Incentive Securities under the Incentive Plan
Resolution 11 – Approval of Issue of options to Mark Rohald, Director of the Company
Resolution 12 – Approval of Issue of performance rights to Mark Rohald, Director of the Company
Background
Under Resolutions 11 and 12, the Company is also seeking approval to invite Mr Mark Rohald a Director and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to participate in the Incentive Plan by subscribing for the following securities under the Incentive Plan:
-
(a) 300,000 unlisted and unvested options exercisable at $1.10 and expiring 3 May 2026 ( Incentive Options ); and
-
(b) 200,000 performance rights ( Performance Rights ),
(the Incentive Options and Performance Rights are together, the Incentive Securities ).

Director and Related Party Approvals
ASX 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 its shareholders.
Cluey Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
30
As Mr Rohald is a Director, the proposed issue of Incentive Securities constitutes the acquisition of securities under an employee incentive scheme for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
To this end, Resolutions 11 and 12 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Incentive Securities to Mr Rohald 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. An issue of equity securities that is approved by the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 will not use up the Company’s 15% limit and therefore does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 11 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Incentive Options and Mark Rohald will be issued with the Incentive Options.
If Resolution 11 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Incentive Options and Mark Rohald with not be issued with the Incentive Options.
If Resolution 12 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Performance Rights and Mark Rohald will be issued with the Performance Rights.
If Resolution 12 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Incentive Options and Mark Rohald with not be issued with the Performance Rights.
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:
-
(d) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions; or
-
(e) shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.
The proposed issue of Incentive Securities 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 a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.
The non-conflicted Directors of the Company (being Robert Gavshon, Louise McElvogue, Michael Stibbard and Ian Young) carefully considered the issue of these Incentive Securities to Mark Rohald and formed the view that the giving of this financial benefit as part of his remuneration would be reasonable, given the circumstances of the Company, the quantum and terms of the Incentive Securities, and the responsibilities held by Mark Rohald in the Company.
Accordingly, the non-conflicted Directors of the Company believe that the issue of these Incentive Securities to Mark Rohald 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 this Resolution. Therefore, the proposed issue of Incentive Securities to Mark Rohald requires Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 only.
Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15
The following information in relation to the issue of Incentive Securities to Mark Rohald is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15:

-
(f) The material terms of the Incentive Securities are set out above.

Annexure B - Ke Terms of Incentive Plan y
A copy of the Incentive Plan was lodged on ASX on 8 December 2020 ‘Omnibus Inventive Scheme’.
The Incentive Plan will enable the Board, from time to time and in its absolute discretion, to make an offer ( Offer ) to any employee, contractor or director (including any prospective employee, contractor or director) ( Eligible Participant ) to participate. The key features of the Incentive Plan are as follows:
| Topic | Summary |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | Eligible Participant means any employee, contractor, or director (or prospective employee, contractor or director) of one or more Cluey Group Members selected by the Board to participate in the Plan. |
| Award | The Incentive Plan provides flexibility for the Board to grant one or more types of Award. The award may be: • Options, which are rights to be issued a Share upon payment of the exercise price and satisfaction of specified vesting conditions (Option). • Performance Rights, which are rights to be issued a Share for nil exercise price upon the satisfaction of specified vesting conditions (Performance Rights). • Loan Shares, which are Shares issued to Eligible Participants at an issue price that the Board in its discretion determines, and may be subject to the satisfaction of specified vesting conditions (Loan Shares); or • Deferred Share Awards, which are Shares issued to Eligible Participants: (i) who elect to receive Shares in lieu of any wages, salary, director's fees, or other remuneration; or (ii) by Cluey in its discretion, in addition to their wages, salary and remuneration, or in lieu of any discretionary cash bonus or other incentive payment (Deferred Share Awards). • Exempt Share Awards, which are Shares issued for no consideration or at an issue price which is a discount to the market price with the intention that up to $1,000 (or such other amount which is exempted from tax under the Tax Act from time to time) of the total value or discount received by each Eligible Participant will be exempt from tax (Exempt Share Awards). |
| Offer | Each Offer must be in writing (which includes email), include an application if acceptance is required, and specify the following to the extent applicable: (i) the identity of the Eligible Participant to whom the Offer is made; (ii) the type of Awards being offered; (iii) the number of Awards being offered; (iv) any vesting conditions for the Awards; (v) the issue price and/or exercise price for the Awards, or the manner in which the issue price and/or exercise price is to be determined; (vi) the expiry date (if any); (vii) any restriction period; (viii) any other terms or conditions that the Board decides to include; and (ix) any other matters required to be specified in the Offer by either the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules. |
Cluey Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
38
| Vesting | The Awards held by a Participant will vest in and become exercisable by that Participant upon the satisfaction of any vesting conditions specified in the Offer and in accordance with the Incentive Plan rules. Vesting conditions may be waived at the absolute discretion of the Board (unless such waiver is excluded by the terms of the Award). |
|---|---|
| Acquisition price |
Option and Performance Rights granted under the Incentive Plan will be for nil consideration. Shares granted under the Incentive Plan including Loan Shares, Deferred Share Awards and Exempt Share Awards may have an Issue Price as set out in the invitation letter. |
| Exercise | In certain situations, the terms of an Award which has a nil exercise price may provide for the Award to be exercised automatically upon vesting. Further, and whether or not the terms of the Award provide for it, the Board may in its discretion waive any requirement that an issued Award which has a nil exercise price be exercised by the Participant. In either case the Company will treat the Award as having been validly exercised on the vesting date. A Participant is entitled to exercise an Award on or after the vesting date. Any exercise must be for a minimum number or multiple of Shares (if any) specified in the terms of the Offer. Awards may be exercised by the Participant delivering to the Company a notice stating the number of Awards to be exercised together with the exercise or issue price (if any) for the Shares to be issued. No amounts will be payable on exercise of Performance Rights. The exercise price must be paid on exercise of Options. The Board may, in its discretion, either issue new Shares or cause existing Shares to be acquired for transfer to the Participant, or a combination of both alternatives. |
| Restrictions on dealings |
Restriction Periodis the period during which Awards, or Shares issued on exercise of Awards, must not be sold or disposed of, being the period specified in the Rules in respect of Deferred Share Awards and Exempt Share Awards, and as specified in the Offer in respect of other Awards. A Participant must not sell, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Awards, or agree to do any of those things, during the Restriction Period. Cluey may implement any procedures it considers appropriate to ensure that Restricted Awards are not disposed of during the Restriction Period, including applying a holding lock in respect of Shares. The Board may at any time in its discretion waive or shorten the Restriction Period applicable to an Award. |
| Cessation of employment |
Under the Rules, the Board retains full discretion to determine the manner in which aparticipant’s awards will be dealt with in the event that theparticipant |
Cluey Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
39
| ceases employment or engagement with the Group, including to determine that the participant forfeits all awards (whether vested or unvested). It is intended that individual offer documents will provide specific information on how an award will be treated where a participant ceases employment or engagement with Cluey. |
|
|---|---|
| Change of control |
If a takeover bid is made to acquire all of the issued Shares of the Company, or a scheme of arrangement, selective capital reduction or other transaction is initiated which has an effect similar to a full takeover bid for Shares in the Company, then Participants are entitled to accept the takeover bid or participate in the other transaction in respect of all or part of their Awards other than Exempt Share Awards notwithstanding that the Restriction Period in respect of such Awards has not expired. The Board may, in its discretion, waive unsatisfied vesting conditions in relation to some or all Awards in the event of such a takeover or other transaction. |
| Clawback | The Board will have the power to clawback Awards, including Awards that have vested and been paid or awarded in certain circumstances to ensure that no unfair benefit is obtained by a participant. |
| Expiry | The Expiry Date is the sate on which an Award lapses, being the date specified in an Offer as the Expiry Date or fixed by a method of calculation set out in an Offer. |
| Capital structure |
The Incentive Plan Rules include provisions addressing adjustments or otherwise on new issues of shares, bonus issues or other reorganisations of capital which may be undertaken by Cluey in the future. |
