Explanatory Memorandum

YPB Group Ltd

1. Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist Shareholders in considering the Resolution set out in the Notice. This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of, and should be read in conjunction with, the Notice.

Terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum are defined in the Glossary.

2. RESOLUTION - APPROVAL TO ISSUE UP TO $2,500,000 WORTH OF NEW SHARES PURSUANT TO A PLACEMENT

2.1 Background

The Resolution seeks shareholder approval for the issue of that number of New Shares which when multiplied by the issue price, will raise up to $2,500,000 ( Placement ).

Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing securities representing more than 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period without security holder approval. Security holder approval is sought to approve the issue of the New Shares.

By approving the issue of the New Shares the subject of the Resolution, the issues will not diminish the 15% annual placement capacity of the Company. This will provide the Company with flexibility to issue further equity securities within the next 12 months up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior shareholder approval.

2.2 Required Information

Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders in respect of the Resolution for the purposes of providing an approval under Listing Rule 7.1:

Maximum number of Shares

The maximum number of New Shares to be issued is up to that
number of New Shares which, when multiplied by the issue price,
equals $2,500,000.
The table below provides examples of the maximum number of
New Shares that may be issued if Shareholders approve the
Resolution. The table uses various issue prices to calculate the
maximum number of New Shares that may be issued assuming

$0.002 $0.002 1,250,000,000 1,250,000,000
Proposed date of Issue: The New Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the
date of the meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by
any ASX waiver) and it is intended that the issue of the New
Shares will occur progressively.
Price at which the Shares
are to be issued:
The issue price will be not less than 80% of the volume weighted
average market price for Shares calculated over the 5 days on
which sales in the Shares were recorded before the date on which
the issue is made or, if there is a prospectus, over the last 5 days
on which sales in the securities were recorded before the date the
prospectus is signed, in accordance with listing rule 7.3.3.
The following examples show potential scenarios of the number of
New Shares which may be issued:
Example 1: Using the market price of $0.006 at the time of
preparing this Notice as being the equivalent to the 5 day VWAP
for illustration purposes, the issue price will be not less than 80%
of $0.006, which is $0.0048. Accordingly, the total number of New
Shares that may be issued pursuant to shareholder approval of the
Resolution would be approximately 520,833,333.
Example 2: If the 5 day VWAP is decreased by 50% which is
equal to $0.003, the issue price will not less than 80% of $0.003,
which is $0.0024. Accordingly, the total number of New Shares
that may be issued pursuant to shareholder approval of the
Resolution would be approximately 1,041,666,667.
Example 3: If the 5 day VWAP is increased by 50% which is equal
to $0.009, the issue price will not less than 80% of $0.009, which is
$0.0072. Accordingly, the total number of New Shares that may be
issued pursuant to shareholder approval of the Resolution would
be approximately 347,222,222.
Potential Dilution Effect:
Based on the current number of Shares on issue of 916,933,479
and the above examples, the table below shows the potential
dilution effect on the shareholdings as follows:
No of New Shares Total no. of
Shares on issue
post issue of New

347,222,222 1,264,155,701 27%
*The Dilution Factor does not take into account the impact of
any exercise of convertible securities by a convertible security
