RESOLUTIONS TO BE DETERMINED BY POLL
In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, the Chair intends to call a poll for the Resolutions proposed at the EGM.

The Chair considers voting by poll to be in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole, and to ensure the representation of as many Shareholders as possible at the meeting.
ENTITLEMENT TO ATTEND AND VOTE
In accordance with regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Board has determined that persons who are registered holders of shares of the Company as at 7.00pm (AEDT) on 19 November 2024 will be entitled to attend and vote at the EGM as a shareholder.

If a body corporate is appointed as a proxy, that body corporate must ensure that it appoints a corporate representative in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act to exercise its powers as proxy at the EGM.
A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
A shareholder may appoint up to two proxies and specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy may exercise. If the shareholder does not specify the proportion or number of votes to be exercised, each proxy may exercise half of the shareholder’s votes.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Company’s EGM to be held on Thursday 21 November 2024.
The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with information that the Directors believe is reasonably required by Shareholders to decide how to vote upon the Resolutions.
The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of the Resolutions.
The Resolutions are to be voted on as an ordinary resolution (requiring at least 50% of the votes cast in favour).
1. Resolution 1 Approval of issue of SPP Shares and SPP Options to SPP participants
1.1. Background
The Company announced on 3 October 2024 that it is conducting a share purchase plan offer to raise up to approximately $500,000 by the issue of up to approximately 111,111,111 Shares at an issue price of $0.0045 per Share ( SPP Shares ) to eligible shareholders ( SPP Offer ), subject to shareholders approval.
The Company also agreed to issue, for no cost, 1 Option for every 3 SPP Shares issued to participants subscribing under the SPP Offer ( SPP Options ), making a total of up to approximately 37,037,037 SPP Options. The SPP Options have an exercise price of $0.0075, an expiry date of 22 March 2027 and are to be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure A to this Notice. The Company will be making application to the ASX for the listing of these options under the same existing class of listed options under the ASX code EXLO.
There is no minimum amount to be raised under the SPP Offer and the SPP Offer is not underwritten.
On 3 October 2024 the Company also announced that it had secured commitments for a capital raising of approximately $1.1 million by the placement of shares to investors ( Placement ).
The SPP Offer was made to eligible shareholders whose details appeared on the Company's register of Shareholders as at the record date of 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 2 October 2024 whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand ( Eligible Shareholders ). The SPP Offer gave Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of SPP Shares (with accompanying SPP Options), subject to the further terms and conditions set out in the Company's prospectus dated 7 October 2024 and lodged with ASX and ASIC on that date ( Prospectus ).
If this Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will use the funds raised under the SPP Offer (together with funds raised under the Placement) to fund consideration under the Company’s acquisition of The Healthy Chef business, as announced to ASX on 3 October 2024, and provide EXL with additional marketing spend and general corporate expenses for near term growth initiatives.
1.2. Listing Rule 7.1
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities in any rolling 12 month period other than the amount which is equal to 15% of its fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the start of that 12 month period ( 15% capacity ).
The proposed issue of the SPP Shares and SPP Options would have exceeded what remains of the Company's ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A capacity after the issue of the Placement Shares and Placement Options under the Placement (see section 2.1 of this Explanatory Memorandum for further information in relation to the Placement), hence the Company is seeking shareholder of the issue of the SPP Shares and SPP Options.
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, for the issue of up to 111,111,111 SPP Shares and 37,037,037 SPP Options.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to issue the SPP Shares and SPP Options to
participants under the SPP.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to issue the SPP Shares and SPP Options and will be required to return all application monies received from applicants under the SPP Offer and may be required to consider other sources of funds.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the SPP Shares and SPP Options will be implemented prior to the consolidation of share capital of the Company the subject of Resolution 4. Accordingly in the event of Resolution 4 being passed, the number of shares and options referred to in Resolution 1 will be subject to the pro-rata consolidation in accordance with Resolution 4.
1.3. Information required by Listing Rule 7.3
ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the Meeting documents concerning a proposed resolution to approve an issue of securities in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 must include the following information:

- c) If the securities are not fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the securities:
The SPP Options will be issued subject to the Option Terms and Conditions, a copy of which is included in Annexure A to this Notice. The Company intends to apply (within the time limits prescribed by the ASX Listing Rules) for the listing of the SPP Options under the same existing class of listed options (ASX:EXLO).
- d) Date which the securities are to be issued:
Within three months from the date of Shareholder approval.
- e) The issue price or other consideration the Company will receive for the issue of the securities:
$0.0045 per SPP Share, amounting to a total of up to $500,000 to be received by the Company for the subscription of up to 111,111,111 SPP Shares. There will be no funds received by the Company for the issue of the SPP Options, but if all 37,037,037 SPP Options were issued and exercised at an exercise price of $0.0075 per SPP Option, it would result in up to a further $277,778 being received by the Company.
- f) The purpose of the issue, including the intended use of the funds raised:
The purpose of the issue is to raise further funds for the Company. The intended use of the funds, in conjunction with funds raised under the Placement, is to fund consideration under the Company’s acquisition of The Healthy Chef business, as announced to ASX on 3 October 2024, and provide EXL with additional marketing spend and general corporate expenses for near term growth initiatives.
- g) If the securities are being issued under an agreement, a summary of the material terms of the agreement.
The SPP Shares and SPP Options are not being issued pursuant to an agreement.
- h) If the securities are being issued under or to fund a reverse takeover, information about the reverse takeover:

1.4. Board recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
2. Resolution 2 Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares and Placement Options issued to sophisticated and professional investors
2.1. Background
The Company announced on 3 October 2024 that it had received commitments for a total of approximately $1.1 million by the issue of an aggregate of 238,888,889 Shares at $0.0045 per Share ( Placement Shares ) to sophisticated and professional investors (introduced by the Company's lead manager Canaccord Genuity) (Placement). The Company also agreed to issue, for no cost, 79,629,621 Options to the same investors at the same time as the Placement Shares ( Placement Options ). The issue of the Placement Options is on the same basis as the SPP Options being 1 Option for every 3 Placement Shares issued to a Placement Share subscriber.
The Placement Options have an exercise price of $0.0045, an expiry date of 22 March 2027 and were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure A to this Notice, being the same terms as the SPP Options. The Company has applied (within the time limits prescribed by the ASX Listing Rules) for the listing of the Placement Options under the same existing class of listed options (ASX:EXLO).
238,888,889 Placement Shares and 79,629,621 Placement Options were issued to sophisticated and professional investors ( Placement Investors ) under the Placement on 10 October 2024 pursuant to the Company's existing ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A capacity.
By issuing those Placement Shares and Placement Options, the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval within the limits of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A was correspondingly reduced. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is being sought to ratify the prior issue and allotment of the Placement Shares and Placement Options to Placement Investors. For clarity, approval under this Resolution 2 is to ratify a prior issue which has occurred prior to the date of the Meeting.
2.2. Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities in any rolling 12 month period other than the amount which is equal to 15% of its fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the start of that 12 month period ( 15% capacity ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that where a company has received shareholder approval by special resolution at an annual general meeting, in addition to issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, a company may, subject to certain conditions, issue equity securities in any rolling 12 month period of an additional amount which is equal to 10% of its fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the start of that 12 month period ( additional 10% capacity )
By ratifying this previous issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future (equal to the number of securities for which this approval is being sought) within the limits of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A up to its 15% capacity and additional 10% capacity, without needing to seek further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares and Placement Options to Placement Investors is not affected, but Company’s ability to issue further securities without Shareholder approval will not include the number of Shares for which ratification is not obtained at this Meeting until the earlier of (i) the date that that previous issue is ratified at a subsequent meeting (if at all) and (ii) 12 months from the date of issue those Placement Shares and Placement Options.
Accordingly, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to allow the Company to refresh its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A with respect to the Placement Shares and Placement Options issued to Placement Investors.
2.3. Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the Meeting documents concerning a proposed resolution to ratify an issue of securities in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4 must include the following information:
- a) The names of the persons to whom the Company issued the securities (or the basis on which the persons were identified or selected):
The Placement Shares and Placement Options were issued to sophisticated and professional investors introduced by the Company's lead manager to the Placement, Canaccord Genuity.
- b) The number and class of securities the entity issued:
238,888,889 Placement Shares and 79,629,621 Placement Options
- c) If the securities are not fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the securities:
The Placement Options were issued subject to the Option Terms and Conditions, a copy of which is included in Annexure A to this Notice. The Company has applied (within the time limits prescribed by the ASX Listing Rules) for the listing of the Placement Options under the same existing class of listed options (ASX:EXLO).
- d) Date which the securities were be issued:
10 October 2024
- e) The issue price or other consideration the Company has received for the issue of the securities:
$0.0045 per Placement Share, amounting to a total of approximately $1.1 received by the Company for the subscription of 238,888,889 Placement Shares by Placement Investors. There were no funds received by the Company for the issue of the Placement Options to Placement Investors but if all 79,629,621 Placement Options were exercised at an exercise price of $0.0075 per Placement Option, it would result in approximately a further $597,222 being received by the Company.
- f) The purpose of the issue, including the intended use of the funds raised:
The purpose of the issue was to raise further funds for the Company. The intended use of the funds, in conjunction with funds raised pursuant to the SPP Offer, is to fund consideration under the Company’s acquisition of The Healthy Chef business, as announced to ASX on 3 October 2024, and provide EXL with additional marketing spend and general corporate expenses for near term growth initiatives.
- g) If the securities are being issued under an agreement, a summary of the material terms of the agreement.
The Placement Shares and Placement Options were not issued pursuant to an agreement.
- h) A voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement is set out in Resolution 2.
2.4. Board recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

If FY27 Revenue exceeds $3,500,000 but is less than $6,000,000, the Final Deferred Payment will be $1,050,000 plus 50% of the incremental revenue over $3,500,000, meaning a total Purchase Price of between $3,100,001 and $4,350,000.
If FY27 Revenue exceeds $6,000,000, the Final Deferred Payment will be $2,300,000 plus 25% of revenue over $6,000,000 up to the maximum Purchase Price, meaning a total Purchase Price of between $4,350,001 and $5,500,000
As noted above, the Purchase Price includes a non-cash component, being the issue of 100 million Consideration Shares. The issue of the Consideration Shares is subject to shareholder approval. In the event that shareholder approval is not obtained, the Company is required to pay the Seller the cash equivalent of the value of the Consideration Shares in lieu of issue of the Consideration Shares.
3.2. Listing Rule 7.1
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities in any rolling 12 month period other than the amount which is equal to 15% of its fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the start of that 12 month period ( 15% capacity ).
The proposed issue of the Consideration Shares would have exceeded what remains of the Company's ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A capacity after the issue of the Placement Shares and Placement Options under the Placement, hence the Company is seeking shareholder of the issue of the Consideration Shares.
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, for the issue of up to 100,000,000 Consideration Shares.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue the Consideration Shares in accordance with the Healthy Chef Business Sale Agreement.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to issue the Consideration Shares and instead, in accordance with the Healthy Chef Business Sale Agreement, will be required to pay to the
Seller the cash equivalent of the value of the Consideration Shares, being $400,000. This will reduce the amount of cash resources available to the Company by $400,000.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the issue of the Consideration Shares will be implemented prior to the consolidation of share capital of the Company the subject of Resolution 4. Accordingly in the event of Resolution 4 being passed, the number of shares referred to in Resolution 3 will be subject to the prorata consolidation in accordance with Resolution 4.
3.3. Information required by Listing Rule 7.3
ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the Meeting documents concerning a proposed resolution to approve an issue of securities in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 must include the following information:
- a) The names of the persons to whom the Company will issue the securities:
The Seller under the Healthy Chef Business Sale Agreement, being collectively Paul Anthony Cutter as trustee for the Paul Cutter Family Trust, The Healthy Chef Pty Ltd as trustee for the Healthy Chef Trust, Healthy Chef Stock & Research Development Pty Ltd and Ehealth & Wellbeing Pty Ltd, or the Seller's nominee(s).
- b) Number and class of securities to be issued:
100,000,000 Shares
- c) Date which the securities are to be issued:
Within three months from the date of Shareholder approval.
- d) The issue price or other consideration the Company will receive for the issue of the securities:
There will be no funds received by the Company for the issue of the Consideration Shares. The Consideration Shares are being issued as part of the consideration payable by the Company under the Healthy Chef Business Sale Agreement.
- e) The purpose of the issue, including the intended use of the funds raised:
The purpose of the issue is for the Company to comply with its obligations and pay the consideration under the Healthy Chef Business Sale Agreement.
- f) If the securities are being issued under an agreement, a summary of the material terms of the agreement.
A summary of the material terms of the Healthy Chef Business Sale Agreement is set out in Annexure B to this Notice.
- g) If the securities are being issued under or to fund a reverse takeover, information about the reverse takeover:
The Consideration Shares are not being issued under or to fund a reverse takeover.
- h) A voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement is set out in Resolution 3.
3.4. Board recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
4. Resolution 4 Approval of share consolidation
4.1. Background
Under section 254H of the Corporations Act, the Company may convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number of shares by ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting.
The Company currently has a large number of Shares on issue. The Directors consider it more appropriate to have a smaller number of Shares on issue which would result in what the Directors regard to be a more appropriate capital structure.
4.2. Effect on capital structure
The Directors are seeking Shareholder approval for the consolidation of every eight (8) existing Shares into one (1) Share ( Consolidation ). Similarly, the number of options and performance rights on issue will be consolidated on a 8 for 1 basis. The exercise price of the options will be amended in inverse proportion to the consolidation ratio.
As the Consolidation applies equally to all Shareholders, individual shareholdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of Shares (subject to rounding). Accordingly, the Company does not expect there to be any dilution resulting from the Consolidation, other than a nominal amount caused by possible rounding.
While the Consolidation should not in theory have any impact on the underlying value of the Company, Shareholders should appreciate that the value of the Company's shares as listed on the ASX (and in turn the Company's market capitalisation) is subject to a broad range of market factors which are beyond the control of the Company.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the change in capital structure of the Company following the Consolidation, will be as set out in the tables below (subject to adjustment for rounding). The tables below are based on the securities on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting and does not include any SPP Shares, SPP Option or Consideration Shares to be issued prior to the Consolidation if Resolutions 1 or 3 are passed, however if issued, those securities will be consolidated on the same basis. The tables below also assume that no options or performance rights are exercised or vest prior to the Consolidation.
a) Shares

c) Performance rights
| Code | Pre-Consolidation | Post-Consolidation (If Resolution 4 approved) |
|---|---|---|
| EXLAC | 40,947,958 | 5,118,495 |
Any share price based vesting conditions attaching to performance rights will be amended in inverse proportion to the consolidation ratio i.e. multiplied by eight (8).
4.3. Legal implications
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.
The Board does not believe it is appropriate to provide any advice on any taxation implications arising from the proposed Consolidation as this will depend upon the individual shareholders personal taxation structure.
If there is a consolidation of the issued capital of the Company:
-
the number of options or convertible securities or the exercise price of those securities or both will be adjusted as specified in Listing Rule 7.22.1 and Listing Rule 7.21 as it applies at the time of the Consolidation; and
-
in all other respects the terms for the exercise of the options or convertible securities will remain unchanged;
4.4. Fractional entitlements
Where the Consolidation results in an entitlement to a fraction of a security, that fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of securities.
4.5. Holding statements
Where Resolution 4 is passed, all holding statements for Shareholders will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Shares on a post ‐ Consolidation basis. As indicated in the timetable below, after the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Shares to be issued to holders of those Shares. It is the responsibility of each Shareholder to check the number of Shares held prior to the Consolidation.
4.6. Indicative timetable
If approved by Shareholders, the proposed Consolidation is intended to take effect in accordance with the following indicative timetable (subject to change):
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Company announces Consolidation by issuing an Appendix 3A.3 notice Company announces effective date of Consolidation Notice of Meeting despatched |
