HWH Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting
Explanatory Statement
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. Annual Report
Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report at the Meeting. The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Annual Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Annual Report is available on the Company’s website at https://www.houstonwehave.ai/.
There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report. However, the Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions or make comments about the Annual Report and the management of the Company. Shareholders will also be given an opportunity to ask the auditor questions as permitted by the Corporations Act.
2. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
2.1 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.
2.2
Voting consequences
The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its Directors. However, the Board will actively consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report when reviewing the Company’s future remuneration policies and practices.
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.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
HWH Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting
2.3 Previous voting results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.
3.
Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Andrew Grover
3.1
General
The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.
Andrew Grover, who has served as a Director since 24 May 2019, was last elected by Shareholders on 9 August 2019 and is the longest serving Director subject to retirement, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships
Mr Grover has over 25 years’ experience in management, business development, sales & marketing, administration and technology across a diverse range of industries. As a founder and investor in numerous innovative companies, Andrew’s businesses have been featured in BRW fast 100 and Deloitte’s Fast 50 over several years. Andrew has had several successful exits and has consulted to medium and top 100 companies. Andrew was CEO of a subsidiary of an ASX listed company in 2008 to 2011.
Mr Grover does not currently hold any other material directorships.
3.3
Independence
Mr Grover is not considered an independent director given his role as Executive Chairman of the Company.
3.4 Board recommendation
The Board supports the re-election of Mr Grover and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 because the Board considers that the experience, expertise and skills of Mr Grover assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities, and do and will continue to assist the Company in achieving growth and delivering value to Shareholders.
4. Resolution 3 – Ratification of prior issue of Options to Mr Antanas Guoga
4.1 General
The Company appointed Mr Antanas Guoga as a non-executive Director on 25 February 2020. The Company announced at that time that it had issued to him 2,000,000 unquoted Options exercisable at $0.04 on or after 24 February 2021 and expiring on 30 June 2022, and 2,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.08 on or after 21 February 2021 and expiring on 30 June 2023 (together, the Director Options ).
The Director Options were issued to Mr Guoga out of the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
4.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15%
HWH Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting
of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period ( Placement Capacity ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies a previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The issue of equity securities to a related party requires prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 unless an exception applies. The issue of the Director Options to Mr Guoga came within Exception 12 in Listing Rule 10.12 and did not require prior shareholder approval. Listing Rule 10.12 Exception 12 makes an exception from Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of equity securities under an agreement or transaction to a person who is a related party of the Company only by reason of his or her believing that they will become a related party in future because of the agreement or transaction. The issue of the Director Options to Mr Guoga was negotiated with him as part of his agreeing to become a Director, and the Director Options were issued immediately before his appointment.
4.3 Effect of the Resolutions
Resolutions 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Director Options.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, they will have ratified the issue of the Director Options, and the issue of the Director Options will no longer use up a portion of the Company’s Placement Capacity, meaning the Company will have an increased ability to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval.
If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 3, the issue of the Director Options will continue to use up a portion of the Company’s current Placement Capacity until the date that is 12 months from their date of issue, and the Company will therefore have a reduced ability to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval until that time.
4.4
Board recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 so the Company can preserve maximum flexibility in terms of its ability to issue equity securities under its Placement Capacity.
4.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution:
-
(a) the Director Options were issued to Mr Antanas Guoga;
-
(b) the number of Director Options issued was as follows:

(g) the purpose of the issue of the Director Options was to provide an incentivisation component to the remuneration of Mr Guoga; and
-
(h) the Director Options were issued pursuant to Mr Guoga’s engagement as a non-executive Director. Mr Guoga’s appointment as a non-executive Director is on normal conditions for such an engagement.
5. Resolution 4 – Ratification of prior issue of Options to Mr Steve Picton
5.1 General
The Company has an Advisory Board made up of technology entrepreneurs and thought leaders to assist the Company. The Houston We Have Advisory Board comprises industry experts whose purpose is to provide directors and management with a broader commercial perspective, insights and initiatives to support the organisation reaching its goals. As the business grows and the complexities increase, their role will be critical in challenging directors and management to consider other options, ensure decision making and governance processes are in place, or developed, in line with the agreed strategy.
On 13 August 2020 the Company announced the appointment of Mr Steve Picton to the Advisory Board. Mr Picton is currently the CEO of LBN CO, Australia’s first fibre to the home operator, and has over 30 years’ experience in the technology and communications industry. Mr Picton is a substantial shareholder of the Company.
At the time of his appointment to the Advisory Board, the Company issued to Mr Picton 2,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.04 each on or before 30 June 2022 and 2,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.08 each on or before 30 June 2023 ( Advisory Board Options ). These Options do not have vesting conditions.
Advisory Board members are not Directors of the Company or otherwise related parties of the Company.
The Advisory Board Options were issued out of the Company’s Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
5.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out at Section 4.2.
5.3 Effect of the Resolutions
Resolutions 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Advisory Board Options.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, they will have ratified the issue of the Advisory Board Options, and the issue of the Advisory Board Options will no longer use up a portion of the Company’s Placement Capacity, meaning the Company will have an increased ability to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval.
If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 4, the issue of the Advisory Board Options will continue to use up a portion of the Company’s current Placement Capacity until the date that is 12 months from their date of issue, and the Company will therefore have a reduced ability to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval until that time.
HWH Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting
5.4 Board recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 so the Company can preserve maximum flexibility in terms of its ability to issue equity securities under its Placement Capacity.

If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 5 the issue of the Corporate Advisor Options will continue to use up a portion of the Company’s current Placement Capacity until the date that is 12 months from their date of issue, and the Company will therefore have a reduced ability to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval until that time.

HWH Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting
7. Resolution 6 – Approval of 10% Issuance Capacity
7.1 General
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 increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
An "eligible entity" means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval ( Additional Issuance Capacity ).
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the Additional Issuance Capacity and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
The Board considers it is in the Company’s best interests to have the opportunity to take advantage of the flexibility to issue additional securities provided under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. As at the date of this Notice, no decision has been made by the Board to undertake any issue of securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity if Shareholders approve Resolution 6. The Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.
The information below provides more background on ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and the disclosure required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.
7.2 Description of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Securities which may be issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity
Under the Additional Issuance Capacity, the Company must issue Equity Securities belonging to an existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, being fully paid ordinary shares (ASX Code: HWH).
(b) Minimum issue price
Equity Securities issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity must be issued for cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for the securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades of securities in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the securities; or
-
(ii) if the securities are not issued within 10 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the securities are issued.
The Company will disclose this information when Equity Securities are issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity.
HWH Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting
(c) Period for which approval will be valid
Shareholder approval of the Additional Issuance Capacity will be valid for the period commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting; or
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or
-
(iii) if the Company receives Shareholder approval for a proposed transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking), the time and date of that approval,
( Additional Issuance Period ).
(d)
Dilution risks
If Equity Securities are issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing Shareholders, including the following risks:
-
(i) the market price for Equity Securities in the class of securities issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (that is, the date of the Meeting, if Resolution 9 is approved); and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The below table shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, both as at 23 October 2020.
The table also shows:
-
(i) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue as at 23 October 2020. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlement offer or securities issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future general meeting; and
-
(iii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the market price as at 23 October 2020.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are currently 261,757,713 Shares on issue.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 23 October 2020.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity consists only of Shares and the consideration provided for those Shares is cash. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
(e) Purpose of issues under Additional Issuance Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity to raise cash to fund the following:
-
(i) general working capital expenses;
-
(ii) activities associated with its current business;
-
(iii) repayment of debt; or
-
(iv) the acquisition of new assets and investments (including any expenses associated with such an acquisition).
The Company will comply with the disclosure requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4 on issue of any Equity Securities pursuant to the approval sought by Resolution 9.
HWH Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting
(f) Allocation policy under Additional Issuance Capacity
The Company's allocation policy and the identity of the recipients of Equity Securities issued under the Additional Issuance Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis at the time of issue and in the Company's discretion.
No decision has been made in relation to an issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity, including whether the Company will engage with new investors or existing Shareholders, and if so the identities of any such persons.
However, when determining the allocation policy and the identity of the recipients, the Company will have regard to the following considerations:
-
(i) prevailing market conditions;
-
(ii) the purpose for the issue of the Equity Securities;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
(iv) impacts of the placement on control;
-
(v) other methods of raising capital; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Recipients may include existing Shareholders or new investors, but not persons who are related parties or associates of related parties of the Company. If the issue is made in connection with the acquisition of assets, the recipients may be the sellers of those assets.
(g) Previous issues under the Additional Issuance Capacity
The Company has not issued or agreed to issue any Equity Securities under a previous Additional Issuance Capacity in the 12 months prior to the date of the Meeting.
7.3 Voting exclusion
At the time of dispatching this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Issuance Capacity, and a voting exclusion statement is therefore not included in this Notice.
