About IXUP

IXUP Limited (ASX: IXU) (pronounced ‘eyes up’) is a pioneering technology company with a world class suite of software products that facilitate the secure sharing and analysis of sensitive information using advanced security technology.

Explanatory Memorandum

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at 4:00PM AEST on 5 June 2024 as a Virtual Meeting .

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with and forms part of the Notice. The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

If you are in any doubt about what to do in relation to the Resolutions contemplated in this Notice and this Explanatory Memorandum, we recommend that you seek advice from an accountant, solicitor or other professional advisor.

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

Resolutions

1 Resolution 1Ratify the Issue of Tranche A Shares to Convertible Noteholders under Listing Rule 7.1

1.1 General

On 11 March 2024, the Company announced that it had agreed to settle A$2.75 million of Convertible Notes through the issue of 183,333,330 Shares. The settlement of $2.175 million of Convertible Notes through the issue of 144,999,997 Shares ( Tranche A Shares ) was unconditional and the settlement of the remaining $575,000 of Convertible Notes through the issue of 38,333,333 Shares ( Tranche B Shares ) was subject to Shareholder approval.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the agreement to issue the Tranche A Shares which utilised the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to Convertible Noteholders who entered into agreements with the Company.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

1.2 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 company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of the time period ( 15% Placement Capacity ).

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that if the Company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of, or agreement to issue, Equity Securities made pursuant to Listing 7.1 (and provided that the previous agreement to issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those Equity Securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future up to the 15% Placement Capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Tranche A Shares agreed to be issued to Convertible Noteholders will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the next 12-month period from 7 March 2024.

IXUP Limited | General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

12

If Resolution 1 is not passed, Tranche A Shares agreed to be issued to Convertible Noteholders will be included in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the next 12-month period from 7 March 2024.

1.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information must be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval:
