A Proxy Form has been dispatched Shareholders together with a letter advising Shareholders that the Company is not dispatching physical copies of the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement and where those documents are available for viewing and downloading.

FINANCIAL REPORT (NO RESOLUTION REQUIRED)

The Corporations Act requires the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and the Auditor’s Report to be received and considered at the Annual General Meeting. A printed hard copy of the annual Financial Report which includes the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report for the year ended 30 June 2020, has been sent to all Shareholders who requested it. The Annual Report is also available on ASX’s website at https://asx.api.markitdigital.com/asxresearch/1.0/file/2924-02271980-6A992877?access_token=83ff96335c2d45a094df02a206a39ff4.

Shareholders will also be given an opportunity to ask the auditor or its representatives questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report.

1 RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

1.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

1.2 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.

In accordance with rule 6.3(d) of the Constitution, an election of Directors shall take place each year. Under rule 6.3(b) of the Constitution, at every annual general meeting, each Director who has retained office for more than three years since their appointment shall retire from office and is eligible for re-election. Under rule 6.3(e) of the Constitution, if at any annual general meeting no Director is required to retire under the terms of rule 6.3(b) of the Constitution, then the Director who has been longest in office since their last election shall retire from office. These requirements for a Director to retire do not apply to a Managing Director.

Mr Pestell retires in accordance with rule 6.3 of the Constitution and, being eligible for re-election, offers himself for re-election as a Director at the Annual General Meeting.

Mr Pestell has been the managing director of Perth-based legal firm Murcia Pestell Hillard since 2000. He has extensive experience advising both listed and private companies particularly in the ICT, energy and resources and mining services industries. He is regularly involved in and advises on complex commercial disputes, strategic contract negotiations, mergers and acquisitions, risk management and large-scale financing. Mr Pestell was an independent non-executive director of formerly-listed ASG Group Ltd (ASX: ASZ) until it was acquired and delisted in late 2016 for $350 million by Japanese multinational IT services and consulting business Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. Mr Pestell is currently the non-executive chair of RooLife Group Limited (ASX: RLG).

The Board (other than Mr Pestell, to whom Resolution 2 relates) supports and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Pestell.

In accordance with section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act, the Company has sought and obtained a nomination from a Shareholder for Elderton Audit Pty Ltd to be appointed as the Company’s auditor. A copy of this nomination is attached as Annexure A.

In accordance with section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act, Elderton Audit Pty Ltd has given its written consent to act as the Company’s auditor subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval of this Resolution.

If this Resolution is passed, the appointment of Elderton Audit Pty Ltd as the Company’s auditor will resume from the close of this Annual General Meeting.

3.2 Directors’ recommendations

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

4 RESOLUTON 4 – APPROVAL OF EMPLOYEE OPTION PLAN

4.1 General

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Employee Option Plan” ( Plan ) and for the issue of Options under the Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees. The Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Options under the Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

A copy of the Plan is set out in Appendix 1.

COSOL Limited – 2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting

Page 10 of 41

4.2 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.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.2 (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 Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b). Listing Rule 7.2 (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.

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Options under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Options to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of Options stated in Section 4.4(c) below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will be required to seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Options under the Plan 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.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Options under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of Options will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Options.

4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (a) a copy of the Plan is set out in Appendix 1;

  • (b) since its listing, the Company has issued a total of 6,525,000 Options under the Plan (which are the subject of Resolutions 5 to 8);

  • (c) the maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan following Shareholder approval is 6,750,000 Equity Securities, and is also subject to the 5% issue limit contained in the Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s class order relief regarding employee incentive schemes (the Company currently has 131,771,965 fully paid ordinary shares on issue). It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Equity Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately, if at all; and

  • (d) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

5 RESOLUTONS 5 TO 8 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO EMPLOYEES

5.1 General

As previously announced by the Company on 8 May 2020 and 11 August 2020, the Company has issued a total of 6,525,000 Options to various employees of and consultants to the Company. The Options were issued as follows:

  • (a) 2,000,000 Options are exercisable at $0.3625 each on or before 15 October 2021 and are the subject of Resolution 5;

  • (b) 3,000,000 Options are exercisable at $0.415 each on or before 15 October 2023 and are the subject of Resolution 6;

  • (c) 762,500 Options are exercisable at $0.61 each on or before 2 September 2022 and are the subject of Resolution 7; and

COSOL Limited – 2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting

Page 11 of 41

  • (d) 762,500 Options are exercisable at $0.70 each on or before 2 September 2023 and are the subject of Resolution 8.

(collectively, Employee Options ).

The Employee Options were issued under the Plan, which was adopted by the Board on 23 April 2020 and for which Shareholder approval is being sought under Resolution 4. However, the Plan has not yet been approved by Shareholders and the issue of the Employee Options does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2. Accordingly, as the issue of the Employee Options has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Employee Options.

The Company confirms it had the required capacity to issue the Employee Options under Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.

All Employee Options

All Employee Options will otherwise be issued on the terms of the Plan, which is set out in Appendix 1.

5.3 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4.2 above.

The issue of the Employee Options does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Employee Options.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, 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 Shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, Resolutions 5 to 8 seek Shareholder approval to the issue of the 6,525,000 Employee Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If each of Resolutions 5 to 8 are passed, the issue of:

  • (a) the 2,000,000 Employee Options the subject of Resolution 5;

  • (b) the 3,000,000 Employee Options the subject of Resolution 6;

  • (c) the 762,500 Employee Options the subject of Resolution 7; and

  • (d) the 762,500 Employee Options the subject of Resolution 8,

will in each case be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Employee Options.

If each of Resolutions 5 to 8 are not passed, the issue of:

  • (a) the 2,000,000 Employee Options the subject of Resolution 5;

  • (b) the 3,000,000 Employee Options the subject of Resolution 6;

  • (c) the 762,500 Employee Options the subject of Resolution 7; and

COSOL Limited – 2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting

Page 14 of 41

  • (d) the 762,500 Employee Options the subject of Resolution 8,

will in each case be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Employee Options.

5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 to 8:

  • (a) the Employee Options were issued to employees of and consultants to the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, COSOL Australia Pty Ltd ( COSOL Australia ). The recipients included:

  • (i) SNJ Business Solutions Pty Ltd, an entity associated with the Chief Executive Officer of COSOL Australia, Scott McGowan; and

  • (ii) Buckley Advisory Group Pty Ltd, an entity associated with Ben Buckley, a consultant to the Company at the time that the Employee Options were issued, and subsequently appointed as a Director of the Company on 6 October 2020.

None of the other recipients of the Employee Options is a Related Party of the Company, a member of Key Management Personnel, a substantial holder in the Company, an adviser to the Company or an associate of any such person;

  • (b) a total of 6,525,000 Employee Options were issued;

  • (c) the Employee Options were issued on the following dates:

  • (i) the 2,000,000 Employee Options the subject of Resolution 5 and the 3,000,000 Employee Options the subject of Resolution 6 were issued on 8 May 2020; and

  • (ii) the 762,500 Employee Options the subject of Resolution 7 and the 762,500 Employee Options the subject of Resolution 8 were issued on 11 August 2020;

  • (d) the issue price per Employee Option was nil as the Employee Options were issued as part of the remuneration packages of the employees and with an aim to align the interests of those employees with that of Shareholders;

  • (e) no funds were raised from the issue of the Employee Options;

  • (f) the Employee Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Section 5.2 and otherwise under the Plan, a copy of which is set out in Appendix 1; and

if the TSR is equal to the Index, and an additional 4% vesting for each 1% by
which the TSR exceeds the Index.
40% Based on achieving M&A business case/budget numbers as defined by the
Board, with 4% vesting for each percentile achieved above the 75thpercentile.
40% Based on achieving budgeted Company NPAT and ROE, with 4% vesting for each
percentile achieved above the 75thpercentile.

Any Employee Options which do not vest will automatically lapse.

  • Claw-back: The Board reserves the right to ‘claw back’ vested BB Options in the event that material errors in satisfaction of performance milestones are discovered.

  • Acceleration: The BB Options are subject to accelerated vesting events including total and permanent disablement, redundancy, death and change of ownership of the Company.

  • Exercise Price: $1.00 each.

  • Expiry Date: On or before 29 September 2024.

The BB Options were otherwise issued under the Plan, which was adopted by the Board on 23 April 2020 and for which Shareholder approval is being sought under Resolution 4 (a copy which is set out in Appendix 1). However, the Plan has not yet been approved by Shareholders and the issue of the BB Options does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2. Accordingly, as the issue of the BB Options has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the BB Options. The Company confirms it had the required capacity to issue the BB Options under Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.

6.3 Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.12 (Exception 12)

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • (a) a Related Party;

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

COSOL Limited – 2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting

Page 16 of 41

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

Listing Rule 10.12 (Exception 12) provides an exception to Listing Rule 10.11 where the person is a Related Party by reason only of the agreement between the person and the Company which is the reason for the issue of the securities and the application to it of section 228(6) of the Corporations Act.

At the time the BB Options were agreed to be issued, Mr Buckley was not a Related Party of the Company and had no influence over the Board’s deliberations and decision to issue the BB Options.

The BB Options were issued in reliance on Listing Rule 10.12 (Exception 12) and, accordingly, prior Shareholder approval was not obtained in respect of the issue of the BB Options under Listing Rule 10.11.

6.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a Related Party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval, unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of the BB Options constitutes giving a financial benefit. Mr Buckley is a Related Party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The BB Options were issued without Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, on the basis that the agreement to grant the BB Options, which was reached as part of the negotiation of Mr Buckley’s remuneration package and before his appointment as a Director, was considered reasonable in the circumstances and was negotiated on arm’s length terms. It therefore falls within the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act and, accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of the BB Options was not sought for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

6.5 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4

A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Sections 4.2 and 5.3 above respectively.

The issue of the BB Options does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the BB Options.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, Resolutions 9 and 10 seek Shareholder approval to the issue of the 3,000,000 BB Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

6.6 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 9 is passed, the issue of the 1,500,000 BB Options the subject of Resolution 9 will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the BB Options.

If Resolution 9 is not passed, the issue of the 1,500,000 BB Options the subject of Resolution 9 will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the BB Options.

If Resolution 10 is passed, the issue of the 1,500,000 BB Options the subject of Resolution 10 will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the BB Options.

If Resolution 10 is not passed, the issue of the 1,500,000 BB Options the subject of Resolution 10 will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities

COSOL Limited – 2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting

the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the BB Options.

6.7 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 9 and 10:

  • (a) the BB Options were issued to Buckley Advisory Group Pty Ltd, an entity associated with the Company’s Managing Director, Ben Buckley. Mr Buckley is a Related Party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) a total of 3,000,000 BB Options were issued;

  • (c) the BB Options were issued on 6 October 2020;

  • (d) the issue price per Employee Option was nil as the BB Options were issued as part of the remuneration package for Mr Buckley in connection with his appointment as the Company’s Managing Director;

  • (f) the BB Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Section 6.2 and otherwise under the Plan, a copy of which is set out in Appendix 1; and

An instalment of Earn Out Consideration will be payable to the Vendor provided:

  • (a) he remains employed throughout the Relevant Period (subject to certain permitted exceptions); and

  • (b) the audited EBITDA for AddOns meets or exceeds certain thresholds in the 12 month period ended 31 December 2020 and in each Relevant Period, as follows:

  • 2020: US$810,000;

  • 2021: US$1,100,000; and

  • 2022: US$1,200,000.

An instalment of Earn Out Consideration will be payable based on the extent to which AddOns’ EBITDA in a Relevant Period exceeds the base EBIDTA figure established for 2020 (being the greater of US$900,000 or the actual EBITDA achieved in 2020), in accordance with the following formula:

EOC = ((CE – PE) x M)-D

where:

EOC = The total Earn Out Consideration in United States dollars payable to the Vendor in relation to the Relevant Period in question;

COSOL Limited – 2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting

Page 18 of 41

  • CE = Current EBITDA (being EBITDA for the Relevant Period, as determined from management accounts following the audit of AddOns’ accounts for the Relevant Period);

  • PE

  • M

  • = Previous EBITDA (being the greater of the Audited FY20 EBITDA and US$900,000);

  • = The multiple applicable to that Relevant Period (being 2 for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 and 1.5 for the financial year ended 31 December 2022); and

  • D = The discount applicable to the extent that the actual Audited FY20 EBITDA is less than US$900,000 but no less than US$810,000, such discount for each Relevant Period to be equal to 2.5 x the amount by which that actual Audited FY20 EBITDA falls short of US$900,000.

The SPA otherwise relevantly provides that:

  • (a) the Company’s overall liability in relation to payments of Earn out Consideration is capped at US$1.75 million in the aggregate;

  • (b) an instalment of Earn Out Consideration for a Relevant Period will be payable to the Vendor no later than 7 days after the date on which the Company releases its audited, or audit reviewed, financial statements for the Relevant Period to the ASX ( Release Date );

  • (c) at least 50% of any Earn Out Consideration will be satisfied by way of an issue of Shares ( Deferred Consideration Shares ), provided that the Company may elect to increase that percentage, up to an overall share cap of 5,000,000 Deferred Consideration Shares, with the balance to be satisfied in cash; and

  • (d) the deemed price at which Deferred Consideration shares will be issued will be the VWAP for the 14 trading days immediately prior to the Release Date, multiplied by the prevailing AUD:USD exchange rate as at 9:00am (WST) on the Release Date.

Resolution 11 seeks ratification of the prior issue of 4,271,695 Completion Shares.

The Company requires a waiver from Listing Rule 7.3.4 from ASX before being able to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares (as the Deferred Consideration Shares will not be issued within 3 months of the Meeting as required under Listing Rule 7.3.4). As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not obtained such a waiver from ASX and accordingly is not seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares. Should the Company obtain a waiver from ASX prior to the Meeting, the Company may release an addendum to this Notice including a Resolution seeking Shareholder approval to issue the Deferred Consideration Shares under Listing Rule 7.1.

7.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Sections 4.2 and 5.3 above respectively.

The issue of the Completion Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Completion Shares.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of the 4,271,695 Completion Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

7.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 11 is passed, the issue of the 4,271,695 Completion Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Completion Shares.

If Resolution 11 is not passed, the issue of the 4,271,695 Completion Shares the subject of Resolution 11 will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Completion Shares.

7.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 11:
