2025 EGM Letter to Shareholders, Notice of Meeting and Proxy

COG Financial Services Limited (COG) attaches the following documents in relation to its upcoming General Meeting (EGM):

  • EGM Letter to Shareholders;

  • EGM Notice of Meeting; and

Announcement authorised by: Tony Robinson, Chair

Who we are:

COG Financial Services Limited (COG) has three complementary businesses:

  1. Finance Broking & Aggregation (“FB&A”): Through its membership group of independent and equity owned brokers (brokers in which COG has invested), COG is Australia’s largest asset finance group, representing over $8.9 billion per annum of Net Assets Finance (NAF). Further growth is being achieved through organic growth in equipment finance, insurance broking, and through equity investment in brokers.

  2. Novated Leasing (“Novated”): Through Fleet Network and its subsidiaries, Paywise and beCarWise, COG operates in the novated lease and salary packaging sector. Growth is being achieved through organic growth, with a significant opportunity arising from existing tax incentives associated with electric cars financed through a novated lease arrangement.

  3. Asset Management & Lending (AM&L”): The largest profit contribution is from peer-to-peer lending on property mortgage-backed business loans via our subsidiary Equity One. As a fee based business, it’s profits are not exposed to changes in interest rates. In addition, through broker distribution, COG provides equipment finance to SMEs, and real property loans via our subsidiary Westlawn Finance Limited.

In all three businesses COG’s market share is small relative to the market size in which it operates, and there are significant growth opportunities through future consolidation and organic growth.

Full details of the business to be considered at the General Meeting are set out below.

Agenda

Resolutions

Resolution 1 - Election of Director – Antony Robinson

Mr Robinson was appointed a Non-Executive Director of the Company pursuant to Rule 6.2 of the Constitution on 3 April 2025, as well as Chairperson.

Rule 6.2(b) of the Constitution provides that any Director appointed by the Directors holds office only until the end of the next following general meeting and is eligible for re-election at that meeting.

Mr Robinson, being eligible, seeks re-election as a Director of the Company at this General Meeting pursuant to Rule 6.2(b) of the Constitution.

Mr Robinson has significant experience in wealth management and insurance, including Managing Director of Centrepoint Alliance Limited, IOOF Holdings Ltd, WealthPoint and OAMPS Insurance Brokers Limited. Mr. Robinson had previously served as the Managing Director of PSC Insurance Group Ltd, where he was actively involved in its growth and sale through a takeover.

Mr Robinson is currently Non-Executive Chairperson of Pacific Current Group Limited.

Directors’ recommendation

Rule 6.2(b) of the Constitution provides that any Director appointed by the Directors holds office only until the end of the next following general meeting and is eligible for re-election at that meeting.

COG Financial Services Limited | General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

9

Mr Dwyer, being eligible, seeks re-election as a Director of the Company at this General Meeting pursuant to Rule 6.2(b) of the Constitution.

Mr Dwyer has over 30 years’ experience in the insurance industry, spending time with QBE as a Regional Underwriting Manager, commencing a joint venture with OAMPS Insurance Brokers Limited and eventually becoming Eastern Region Manager (NSW & ACT). Mr Dwyer previously served as Executive Director of PSC Insurance Group Ltd, where he was actively involved in its growth and sale through a takeover.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors (excluding Mr Dwyer) recommend that Shareholders vote for this Resolution.

The Chairperson of the General Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this Resolution.

Resolutions 3 and 4 – Approval of Issue of Options to Antony Robinson and John Dwyer

Background

Resolutions 3 and 4 seek Shareholder approval to issue and allot an aggregate of 5,000,000 Unlisted Options ( Director Options ) to the Company’s recently appointed Non-Executive Directors, Antony Robinson and John Dwyer (and/or their respective nominee(s)) as previously announced by the Company on 26 March 2025 and 3 April 2025.

The Director Options are designed to further align the interests of Mr Robinson and Mr Dwyer with the Shareholders of the Company, noting the exercise price of the Director Options represented a significant premium to the Company’s share price at the time of the announcement of their appointments ( Appointment Announcement ). The closing share price on 25 March 2025, being the day prior to the Appointment Announcement, was $0.935.

The Director Options are exercisable at $1.30 and will expire on the earlier of 5.00pm (AEDT) on 31 March 2028, or:

  • a. In respect of any Director Options held by Mr Robinson (or his nominee(s)), 6 months after the date that Mr Robinson ceases to be a director of the Company; and

  • b. In respect of any Director Options held by Mr Dwyer (or his nominee(s)), 6 months after the date that Mr Dwyer ceases to be a director of the Company.

The material terms of the Director Options are set out in Annexure A of this Notice.

Shareholder approval is being sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11, Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, and for all other purposes, to issue:

  • Resolution 3: 2,500,000 Director Options to Mr Robinson (and/ or his nominee(s)); and

  • Resolution 4: 2,500,000 Director Options to Mr Dwyer (and/or his nominee(s)).

Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company must not issue equity securities to a related party of the Company without Shareholder approval.

Mr Robinson and Mr Dwyer are Non-Executive Directors of the Company, which means they are related parties of the Company. The proposed issue of the Director Options to each of Mr Robinson and Mr Dwyer does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Accordingly, shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11 to issue the Director

COG Financial Services Limited | General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

10

Options to Mr Robinson and Mr Dwyer as set out below and on the terms of the Director Options contained in Annexure A to the Notice of Meeting.

If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Directors’ recommendations and interest in the outcome

  • (d) The Directors of the Company (excluding Mr Robinson and Mr Dwyer) have refrained from making a recommendation to Shareholders about Resolutions 3 and 4 on the basis that Resolutions 3 and 4 concern proposed components of the remuneration of other Directors.

  • (f) Mr Robinson and Mr Dwyer have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3 and 4 (respectively) because the proposed issue of Director Options to Mr Robinson and Mr Dwyer is intended to form a component of their respective remuneration packages. Accordingly, Mr Robinson and Mr Dwyer do not provide a recommendation to Shareholders.

Valuation of the financial benefit

  • (g) The 5,000,000 Director Options are unquoted options and will not be quoted on ASX. Accordingly, they have no easily identifiable market value. However, as the Director Options may be exercised into fully paid ordinary shares (subject to satisfaction of the terms of the Director Options), the Director Options may have a present value at the date of their issue.

  • (h) The Company has sought an independent valuation of the Director Options from Stantons Corporate Finance Pty Ltd ( Valuations Expert ). The method used to value the Director Options was the Black-Scholes Model, which is a commonly used and recognised model for valuing the Director Options. The value of a Director Options calculated by this model is a function of the relationship between a number of variables and inputs as at 7 April 2025, with sensitivities around market price of the Company’s Shares to allow for share price movements since the date of the report, which can be summarised as follows:
