EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement forms part of the Company's Notice of Annual General Meeting and is intended to assist Shareholders in consideration of the business proposed at the Meeting.
1. Receipt and Consideration of Accounts and Reports
A copy of the Company's Annual Report for the year ending 31 December 2025 which incorporates the Financial Report, reports of the Directors (including the Remuneration Report and the Auditors) is not enclosed as there is no longer a requirement for the Company to incur the printing and distribution cost associated with doing so for all Shareholders. You may obtain a copy free of charge in hard copy form by contacting the Company Secretary by phone on 1300 384 692, and you may request that this occurs on a standing basis for future years.
Alternatively, you may access the Annual Report at the Company's website at: https://investorhub.elixinolwellness.com/annual-reports
Except for as set out in Resolution 1, no Resolution is required on these reports. Shareholders will have the opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the 2025 Annual Report and the management of the Company. The Auditor will be invited to attend and will be available to answer questions about the audit of the Company's 2025 Annual Report.
2. Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report
Background
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report must be put to the vote at the Annual General Meeting. The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors' Report in the Company's 2025 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company's remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.
In accordance with section 250SA of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions concerning, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
In accordance with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act, if twenty five per cent (25%) or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those Annual General Meetings on a resolution (a 'Spill Resolution') that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.
It is noted that at the Company's last Annual General Meeting, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report represented less than twenty-five per cent (25%) of the total votes cast on that resolution and accordingly, a Spill Resolution will not under any circumstances be required for the Meeting.
The Directors will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies.
Board Recommendation and Voting Intention
Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company (as such interests are described in the Remuneration Report), the Board recommends that Shareholders vote in FAVOUR of this Resolution.
The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in FAVOUR of this Resolution.
Voting Exclusions
Refer to Note 7.
- Resolution 2: Election of Director – Gavin Evans
Background
Gavin Evans was appointed Non-Executive Chair of the Company on 2 December 2025. In accordance with clause 6.1(e) of the Constitution, Mr Evans retires from office at the conclusion of the AGM and is eligible for election as a Director of the Company. If Shareholders do not approve the election of Mr Evans, Mr Evans will cease to be a Director at the conclusion of the AGM.
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the entity. Prior to Mr Evans' appointment, the Company completed several background and screening checks including in relation to Mr Evans' character, experience, qualifications, criminal history, and bankruptcy history, with no adverse findings.
The Board also considered whether Mr Evans had any interest, position, or relationship that may interfere with his independence as a Director, having regard to the relevant factors as set out in the ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles & Recommendations (4th edition) (ASX Principles). The Board has determined that, at present, Mr Evans is considered independent and is therefore classified as an Independent Non-Executive Director.
Mr Gavin Evans is an international business leader with extensive experience across nutrition, wellness, FMCG and high-growth consumer brands. He has a strong track record in building and scaling "better-for-you" platforms, combining strategic clarity with disciplined execution across complex supply chains and competitive retail environments.
As Founder of Openway Food Co, he built the business into a leading better-for-you food platform, guiding it through scale-up acquisitions, expansion into Asian markets, value-creation initiatives and B Corp certification. He has been a proven architect of vertically integrated, category-leading business models, with deep experience in growth execution, brand building and operational transformation.
Earlier in his career, Mr Evans held senior roles in investment banking and capital markets, bringing significant expertise in strategy, M&A, governance and capital management. He maintains strong industry relationships across the supply chain, retail, distribution and investment sectors, supporting sustainable growth and long-term value creation in food and wellness businesses.
Mr Evans holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Melbourne. Mr Evans held no other Australian public company directorships in the last three years.
Special responsibilities: Chair of Remuneration and Nomination Committee and Member of Audit and Risk Committee.
Prior to submitting for election, Mr Evans confirmed that he would have sufficient time to properly fulfil his duties and responsibilities as a Director of the Company.
The Board supports the election of Mr Evans as he brings valuable skills and experience to the Board.
Board Recommendation and Voting Intention
The Board (with Mr Evans abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in FAVOUR of this Resolution.
The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in FAVOUR of Resolution 2.
Voting Exclusions
There are no voting exclusions on this Resolution.
- Resolution 3: Re-election of Director – Pauline Gately
Background
Pauline Gately was elected as a Non-Executive Director of the Company on 29 April 2024. In accordance with clause 6.1(f)(i) of the Constitution, Ms Gately retires by rotation at the conclusion of the AGM and is eligible for re-election as a Director of the Company. If Shareholders do not approve the re-election of Ms Gately, Ms Gately will cease to be a Director at the conclusion of the AGM.
After leading The Sustainable Nutrition Group's merger process with Elixinol Wellness, Pauline was appointed as a non-executive director of Elixinol Wellness. Pauline brings a strong focus on strategy, capital allocation and risk oversight. She has extensive experience in funding, business development and strategic transformation having supported companies through IPOs, business recalibration and mergers and acquisitions. Her Board contributions are underpinned by 20+ years investment banking experience, including senior roles in investment strategy, research, and funds management.
Pauline is currently Non-Executive Chair of Kalgoorlie Gold Mining Ltd (ASX: KAL) and a Non-Executive Director of Pioneer Credit Ltd (ASX: PNC).
Special responsibilities: Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee and a member of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
Board Recommendation and Voting Intention
The Board (with Ms Gately abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in FAVOUR of this Resolution.
The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in FAVOUR of Resolution 3.
Voting Exclusions
There are no voting exclusions on this Resolution.
5. Resolutions 4 and 5: Approval of proposed issues of Shares, Options and/or Convertible Notes under Proposed Capital Raising
Background – Proposed Capital Raising
The Company has appointed a Lead Manager to advise on its capital raising activities. The Board has been considering a range of capital raising structures to provide the Company with additional working capital and to repay existing debt obligations.
The Company under Resolutions 4 and 5 is considering a capital raising of up to a Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000 in aggregate (with a minimum floor in the issue price / conversion price of $0.005), which may be structured as one or more of the following:
- a placement of fully paid ordinary shares and/or options over ordinary shares in the Company of up to a Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000; and/or
- the issue of convertible notes of up to a Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000,
or any combination of the above in aggregate not exceeding the Maximum Capital Amount (together, the Proposed Capital Raising).
The Maximum Capital Amount under the Proposal Capital Raising across Resolutions 4 and 5 is a maximum of $2,000,000 for Shares and Options subscribed and principal paid under Convertible Notes (but excluding any exercise price payable on exercise of Options and interest payable on Convertible Notes).
There are currently a number of external market pressures and accordingly the Board has not yet determined the final structure of the Proposed Capital Raising. Therefore Resolutions 4 and 5 if passed by shareholders will enable the Board to retain flexibility to implement one or more of these structures depending on market conditions, investor demand and the capital requirements of the Company. Each of Resolutions 4 and 5 are therefore separate but complementary resolutions. Resolution 4 may be passed and implemented alone (for up to a Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000), Resolution 5 may be passed and implemented alone (for up to a Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000), or both Resolutions may be passed and implemented together as part of a combined capital raising under Resolutions 4 and 5 of up to a Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000 in aggregate.
Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to provide the Company with flexibility to implement the Proposed Capital Raising in such structure and on such terms as the Board determines to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders after market soundings, on the terms and conditions set out in this Explanatory Statement.
If Resolutions 4 and/or 5 are passed, the Company intends to implement the Proposed Capital Raising by no later than 3 months of the date of the AGM.
The passing of either Resolution does not obligate the Company to proceed with the relevant component of the Proposed Capital Raising if the Board determines that in light of market conditions it is not in the best interests of the Company to do so. If passed, Resolutions 4 and 5 may each be implemented together or independently of the other at the Board's discretion, but with the maximum raised under those resolutions in aggregate of $2 million.
Subject to compliance with applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules, the Board also reserves the right to issue additional securities which may be available from time to time under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and/or 7.1A (including where Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, additional securities pursuant to the Company's placement capacities under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and/or 7.1A).
Use of funds
If Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, and the Company implements the Proposed Capital Raise to raise the Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000 (in aggregate), the intended use of funds is as follows:
| Use of funds | Amount |
|---|---|
| Repayment of existing debt - Principal and interest on loan notes due for repayment on 31 May 2026 | $1,500,000 |
| Working capital | $500,000 |
| Total | $2,000,000 |
Where Resolutions 4 and 5 are not passed, the Company will need to refinance the existing debt under the loan notes due on 31 May 2026 and / or in part use its existing capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 - Overview
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, subject to certain exceptions, prior Shareholder approval is required for an issue of securities by a company if those securities, when aggregated with the securities issued by the company during the previous twelve (12) months (without approval and which were not subject to an exception), exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the number of shares on issue at the commencement of that twelve (12) month period.
Neither the proposed issue of Shares and/or Options under Resolution 4, nor the proposed issue of Convertible Notes under Resolution 5, falls within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. The Company is seeking Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for each of Resolutions 4 and 5.
If Resolutions 4 and/or 5 are approved by Shareholders, the Company will be able to proceed with the relevant proposed issues during the period of three (3) months after the Meeting and securities issued pursuant to those Resolutions will be excluded from calculating the Company's fifteen percent (15%) limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company will also retain the flexibility to issue further securities up to that fifteen percent (15%) placement capacity without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If either Resolution is not approved by Shareholders, the Company would not be able to proceed with that relevant component of the Proposed Capital Raising without obtaining Shareholder approval, except to the extent the Company has existing placement capacity available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and/or 7.1A at the relevant time, and accordingly the Company may not be able to raise sufficient capital to meet its future capital requirements for working capital and repayment of existing debt, in which case the Company will need to refinance the existing debt under the loan notes which are due for repayment on 31 May 2026 (which may be undertaken using existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, new debt, cash flow from the business or any combination thereof).
Resolution 4: Approval of proposed issues of Shares and/or Options under Proposed Capital Raising
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 400,000,000 Shares and up to 800,000,000 Options at a minimum issue price of $0.005 per Share (or a minimum $0.005 exercise price in the case of Options) as part of the Proposed Capital Raising (Equity Raising).
The Board retains the flexibility to issue Shares only, Options only, or a combination of Shares and Options under this Resolution, depending on the structure that the Board determines, in consultation with the Lead Manager after market soundings, to be in the best interests of the Company at the time of the proposed Equity Raising (which could include the issue of Shares for a cash subscription plus attaching Options issued for no additional
consideration at ratio of no greater than 2 Options for every 1 Share subscribed).
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3:
(a) the Shares and/or Options will be issued to institutional, sophisticated, and/or professional investors introduced by the Lead Manager, or otherwise identified by the Board, to participate in the proposed Equity Raising;
(b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued under this Resolution is 400,000,000 Shares, being the number calculated by dividing the Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000 by the minimum issue price of $0.005 per Share. The maximum number of Options to be issued under this Resolution is 800,000,000 Options, being the number if the maximum number of Shares are subscribed with attaching Options at ratio of no greater than 2 Options for every 1 Share subscribed. In each case, the number of Equity Securities to be issued under Resolution 4 is subject to the Maximum Capital Amount across Resolutions 4 and 5 in aggregate. Please refer to the section below titled 'Proposed Capital Raising – Dilution' for further information in relation to the potential dilutive impact of the Proposed Capital Raising under Resolutions 4 and 5;
(c) any Options issued under this Resolution will have an exercise price of $0.005 per option and expiry date of 31 December 2027 and will be issued on the terms set out in Annexure 1;
(d) the Shares and/or Options will be issued no later than three (3) months after the date of the AGM;
(e) the issue price of any Shares issued under this Resolution will be not less than $0.005 per Share, which has been calculated by reference to a 28.57% discount to the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 31 March 2026 of $0.007. The final issue price will be determined by the Board in consultation with the Lead Manager having regard to prevailing market conditions at the time of the Equity Raising. The Equity Raising will raise a Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000 before costs subject to the Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000 across Resolutions 4 and 5 in aggregate;
(f) the purpose of the issue is to raise funds for working capital and to repay existing debt obligations; and
(g) the securities are not being issued under a pre-existing agreement.
Resolution 5: Approval of proposed issue of Convertible Notes under Proposed Capital Raising
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of convertible notes with an aggregate face value of up to the Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000 as part of the Proposed Capital Raising (Convertible Note Raising). Convertible notes that are convertible into ordinary shares are equity securities for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules and are therefore subject to the ASX Listing Rule 7.1 as described above.
The Board retains the flexibility to determine the final terms of the Convertible Notes in consultation with the Lead Manager and having regard to market conditions and investor demand at the time of issue. The key indicative terms of the Convertible Notes are set out below.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3:
(a) the Convertible Notes will be issued to institutional, sophisticated, and/or professional investors introduced by the Lead Manager, or otherwise identified by the Board, to participate in the proposed Convertible Note Raising;
(b) the maximum aggregate number of Convertible Notes to be issued under this Resolution is 2,000,000 Convertible Notes with a face value of $1.00 each (subject to the Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000 across Resolutions 4 and 5 in aggregate). The maximum number of Shares that may be issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes is 400,000,000 Shares, being the number calculated by dividing the aggregate face value of $2,000,000 by the floor conversion price of $0.005 per Share. This represents the maximum dilution scenario and the actual number of Shares issued on conversion may be lower depending on the applicable conversion price at the time of conversion. Please refer to the section titled 'Proposed Capital Raising – Dilution' for further information in relation to the potential dilutive impact of the Proposed Capital Raising under Resolutions 4 and 5;
(c) the key terms of the Convertible Notes are as follows:
| Term | Detail |
|---|---|
| Face value | Up to $2,000,000 in aggregate |
| Interest rate | 12% per annum, compounded annually and payable on redemption or conversion |
| Maturity Date | 31 December 2027 |
| Conversion price | The lower of: |
| (a) 20% discount to the 10-day volume weighted average (VWAP) trading price of the Company's ordinary shares on the ASX, and | |
| (b) the issue price of any equity capital raising undertaken by the Company that occurs after issue of the Convertible Notes, | |
| subject to a minimum floor conversion price of $0.005 per Share. | |
| Conversion | The Convertible Notes will be converted into Shares on the earlier to occur of delivery of a conversion notice by the holder or the Maturity Date. |
| Redemption | The Company may voluntarily redeem the Convertible Notes prior to the Maturity Date. |
| The Company must redeem the Convertible Notes on the occurrence of an insolvency event or event of default. | |
| Ranking on conversion | Shares issued on conversion will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares from the date of conversion |
| Security | The Convertible Notes will be unsecured |
(d) the Convertible Notes will be issued no later than three (3) months after the date of the AGM;
(e) the conversion price of any Shares on conversion of any Convertible Notes issued under this Resolution will be not less than a minimum floor conversion price of $0.005 per Share, which has been calculated by reference to a 28.57% discount to the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 31 March 2026 of $0.007. The final issue price will be determined in accordance with the terms set out in the table above. The Convertible Note Raising will raise a Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000, subject to the Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000 across Resolutions 4 and 5 in aggregate;
(f) the purpose of the issue is to raise funds for working capital and to repay existing debt obligations; and
(g) the Convertible Notes are not being issued under a pre-existing agreement. The Convertible Notes will be issued under a Convertible Note Deed Poll and Subscription Agreement to be entered by the Company and investors on the material terms set out in the table above and otherwise on terms customary for agreements of this nature.
Proposed Capital Raising – Dilution
The Company is unable to determine the exact number of Shares, Options and/or Convertible Notes that will be issued under Resolutions 4 and 5 at the date of this Notice, as the number of securities to be issued will depend on the capital raise structure and the issue price determined at the time of issue. Accordingly, the Company has expressed the maximum number of securities to be issued as a formula, being the maximum aggregate raising amount divided by the minimum issue price.
The minimum issue price for new Shares (and the floor conversion price for Convertible Notes) has been set at $0.005 per Share, being a 28.57% discount to the closing price of $0.007 per Share as at 31 March 2026.
The maximum aggregate amount to be raised across Resolutions 4 and 5 combined is the Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000. There is no fixed maximum allocated to each individual resolution. The Board retains flexibility to allocate the raising between Shares, Options and/or Convertible Notes as it sees fit, provided that the aggregate amount raised across both resolutions does not exceed the Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000. At the minimum issue price of $0.005, this gives a maximum number of 400,000,000 new Shares and/or Shares
issuable on conversion of Convertible Notes across Resolutions 4 and 5 and a maximum number of 800,000,000 Options under Resolution 4 (which may be structured as attaching Options issued for no additional consideration at ratio of no greater than 2 Options for every 1 Share subscribed).
The table below illustrates the potential dilution to existing Shareholders (for the maximum number of Shares, Options and/or Convertible Notes under Resolutions 4 and 5) at two indicative issue / conversion prices – (1) the minimum issue price of $0.005 per Share and (2) the closing price of $0.007 per Share, in each case assuming the Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000 is raised across Resolutions 4 and 5 in aggregate.
| Minimum issue price / Floor conversion price ($0.005) | Closing price as at 31 March 2026 ($0.007) | |
|---|---|---|
| Current Shares on issue | 413,987,731 | 413,987,731 |
| Maximum new Shares / Shares on conversion of Convertible Notes — aggregate across Resolutions 4 and 5 | 400,000,000 | 285,714,286 |
| Maximum new Options under Resolution 4 | 800,000,000 | 571,428,572 |
| Total Shares on issue post-issue on a excluding Options (maximum) | 813,987,731 | 699,702,017 |
| Total Shares on issue post-issue on a fully diluted basis including exercise of all new Options | 1,613,987,731 | 1,271,130,589 |
| Dilution to existing Shareholders (%) (maximum excluding Shares issued on exercise of any Options) | 96.62% | 69.02% |
| Dilution to existing Shareholders (%) (maximum on a fully diluted basis including Shares issued on exercise of all Options) | 289.86% | 207.05% |
The above scenarios are provided for illustrative purposes only. The actual number of securities issued may be less depending on the final issue price or conversion price determined at the time of the relevant issue or conversion and the amount actually raised. The table does not take into account any Shares that may be issued between the date of this Notice and the date of issue or conversion of the relevant securities.

6. Resolution 6: Approval of proposed issues of Shares, Options and/or Convertible Notes to Mr Gavin Evans under Proposed Capital Raising
Background
As described in the explanatory statements for Resolutions 4 and 5, the Company is proposing to undertake the Proposed Capital Raising of up to the Maximum Capital Amount of $2,000,000 in aggregate. In connection with the Proposed Capital Raising, Mr Gavin Evans, Non-Executive Chair of the Company, has indicated that he (or his nominee) may wish to participate in the Proposed Capital Raising by subscribing for Shares, Options and/or Convertible Notes (or any combination thereof) up to a maximum value of $50,000 in aggregate.
For the avoidance of doubt, any securities issued to Mr Evans (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 6 are included within, and do not exceed, the maximum numbers of securities to be approved under Resolutions 4 and 5. The approval of Resolution 6 does not increase the maximum numbers of securities approved under Resolutions
4 and 5.
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 – Overview
Mr Evans is a Director of the Company and is therefore a "related party" of the Company for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules. ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a listed company must not issue securities to a related party without the approval of shareholders (subject to certain exceptions).
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of securities to Mr Evans (or his nominee) as part of the Proposed Capital Raising.
If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders, the Company will be able to proceed with issues of Shares, Options and/or Convertible Notes under the Proposed Capital Raising to Mr Evans (or his nominee) up to a maximum value of $50,000 in aggregate.
If Resolution 6 is not approved by Shareholders, the Company would not be able to issue any Shares, Options or Convertible Notes under the Proposed Capital Raising to Mr Evans (or his nominee) and he will not be able to participate in the Proposed Capital Raising.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
The Directors have considered whether Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act applies to the proposed issue of securities to Mr Evans. Chapter 2E requires shareholder approval before a public company gives a financial benefit to a related party unless an exception applies.
The Directors have determined that the proposed participation by Mr Evans in the Proposed Capital Raising falls within the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act on the basis that the terms on which Mr Evans (or his nominee) will subscribe for securities are no more favourable than the terms offered to other participants in the Proposed Capital Raising and accordingly, the issue will be made on arm's length commercial terms.
Accordingly, separate Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E is not required.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
(a) the securities will be issued to Mr Gavin Evans or his nominee, being a related party of the Company by reason of Mr Evans being a Director of the Company (and therefore falls within ASX LR 10.11.1);
(b) the maximum value of securities to be issued to Mr Evans (or his nominee) pursuant to this Resolution is $50,000 in aggregate, comprising such number of Shares, Options and/or Convertible Notes (or any combination thereof) as Mr Evans (or his nominee) elects to subscribe for, up to that maximum value;
(c) the securities will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Proposed Capital Raising, as described in the explanatory statements for Resolutions 4 and 5;
(d) the securities will be issued no later than one (1) month after the date of the AGM;
(e) the issue price of any Shares will be not less than $0.005 per Share, being the same minimum issue price as applies to the Equity Raising under Resolution 4. The terms of any Options and Convertible Notes will be as described in the explanatory statements for Resolutions 4 and 5 respectively;
(f) the purpose of the issue is to enable Mr Evans to participate in the Proposed Capital Raising on the same terms as other participants, and the proceeds of Mr Evans' participation will form part of the funds raised under the Proposed Capital Raising to be applied towards working capital and repayment of existing debt obligations;
(g) the issue is not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Director; and
(h) the securities are not being issued under a pre-existing agreement.
Board Recommendation and Voting Intention
The Board (with Mr Evans abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in FAVOUR of Resolution 6.
As Mr Evans has a material personal interest in Resolution 6 and is the Chair of the Meeting, the Chair will not exercise undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 6 unless the proxy form expressly authorises the Chair to do
so notwithstanding this interest.
Voting Exclusion
Refer to Note 7.
7. Resolution 7: Appointment of auditor
As announced on 19 December 2025, and in accordance with section 327C of the Corporations Act, the Company appointed RSM Australia Partners (RSM) as auditor of the Company following ASIC's consent to the resignation of the previous auditor of the Company, BDO Audit Pty Ltd (BDO), in accordance with section 329(5) of the Corporations Act. BDO resigned as auditor effective 18 December 2025 and advised that there are no reportable matters in relation to the resignation.
Under the Corporations Act, an auditor appointed under section 327C(1) of the Corporations Act holds office until the company's next annual general meeting. Accordingly, in accordance with section 327B(1)(b) of the Corporations Act, the Company is now seeking Shareholder confirmation of RSM's ongoing appointment as auditor of the Company and its controlled entities.
RSM has provided to the Company, and has not withdrawn, its written consent to act as auditor of the Company, in accordance with section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act.
If this Resolution is passed, the appointment of RSM as the Company's auditor will be confirmed with effect from the close of this Meeting. If this Resolution is not passed, RSM's appointment as auditor will not be confirmed. In these circumstances, the Company will have to appoint an alternate auditor in accordance with the Corporations Act.
Board Recommendation and Voting Intention
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in FAVOUR of Resolution 7.
The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in FAVOUR of Resolution 7.
Voting Exclusion
There are no voting exclusions on this Resolution.
8. Resolution 8: Approval of 10% Additional Placement Capacity
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 generally limits the amount of equity securities that a listed entity 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.
However, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A certain listed companies may seek Shareholder approval by special resolution to issue equity securities equivalent to an additional 10% of the number of ordinary securities on issue by way of placement over a 12-month period (Additional 10% Capacity). This is in addition to the existing 15% placement capacity permitted by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
A company is eligible to seek Shareholder approval for this additional placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A if it satisfies both of the following criteria at the date of the AGM:
- it has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less; and
- it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index.
The Company currently satisfies both the above criteria, and it is anticipated that it will satisfy both these criteria at the date of the AGM. If on the date of the AGM, the Company no longer meets this eligibility criteria, this Resolution will be withdrawn. Accordingly, This Resolution is seeking approval of Shareholders by special resolution for the issue of up to the number of equity securities as calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, at an issue price permitted by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3 to such persons as the Board may determine, on the terms described in this Explanatory Statement.
Approval of this Resolution does not oblige the Company to conduct a placement or use the Additional 10% Capacity. The approval would provide the Company with additional flexibility and an ability to move quickly if an opportunity arises which requires additional capital.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 413,987,731 Shares. The actual number of equity securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the equity securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the effect will be to allow the Company to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without further Shareholder approval.
If Shareholders do not approve this Resolution, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to its 15% Placement Capacity limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided:
(a) If any of the securities being approved by this Resolution are issued, they will be issued during the 10% Placement Period, that is, within 12 months of the date of the AGM (i.e. by 27 May 2027). The approval being sought under this Resolution will cease to be valid on the earlier of either of the following events occurring:
(i) the time and date of the Company's next AGM if it is held prior to 27 May 2027; or
(ii) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking) prior to 27 May 2027.
(b) Any equity securities issued pursuant to the Additional 10% Capacity will be issued for cash consideration at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for the Company's Shares calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades are recorded immediately before:
(i) the date on which the price at which the equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the securities; or
(ii) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.
(c) The purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of equity securities pursuant to the Additional 10% Capacity may include continuation of the Company's evaluation of new business development opportunities, potential merger, divestment or acquisition activities, general working capital purposes and repayment of debt.
(d) If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the Additional 10% Capacity, the existing Shares face the risk of economic and voting dilution as a result of the issue of equity securities which are the subject of this this Resolution, to the extent that such equity securities are issued, including the risk that:
(i) the market price of equity securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date on which this approval is being sought; and
(ii) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date.
(e) The following table provides examples of the potential dilution of existing ordinary Shares calculated as at the date of this Notice using an issue price of $0.007 per Share, being the closing price of Shares on ASX on 31 March 2026 and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
The table also shows:
(a) two examples where variable "A" has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of fully paid ordinary securities the Company currently has on issue. The number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue may increase; and
(b) two examples of where the issue price of fully paid ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.
| Variable 'A' in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 | Issue Price | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.0035 | ||||
| 50% decrease in | ||||
| Current Share Price | $0.007 | |||
| Current Share | ||||
| Price | $0.014 | |||
| 100% increase in | ||||
| Current Share Price | ||||
| Current Variable A | ||||
| 413,987,731 Shares | 10% Voting Dilution | 41,398,773 Shares | ||
| Funds raised | $ 144,896 | $ 289,791 | $ 579,583 | |
| 50% increase in current Variable A | ||||
| 620,981,597 Shares | 10% Voting Dilution | 62,098,160 Shares | ||
| Funds raised | $ 217,344 | $ 434,687 | $ 869,374 | |
| 100% increase in current Variable A | ||||
| 827,975,462 Shares | 10% Voting Dilution | 82,797,546 Shares | ||
| Funds raised | $ 289,791 | $ 579,583 | $ 1,159,166 |
(c) The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
(i) for the purposes of variable "A" in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, Shares which may be issued on conversion of the 36,417 unquoted performance rights, 50,000,000 unlisted options and 311,748,042 listed options currently on issue have not been included;
(ii) the Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the Additional 10% Capacity in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;
(iii) 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%;
(iv) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional 10% Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the AGM;
(v) the table shows only the effect of issues of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
(vi) the issue of equity securities under the Additional 10% Capacity consists only of shares; and
(vii) the issue price used for the table above, $0.007 per Share, is indicative only, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 31 March 2026.
(d) The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the Additional 10% Capacity. The identity of allottees of any equity securities that may be issued (subject to Shareholder approval of this Resolution) have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing Shareholders and/or parties who are not currently Shareholders and are not related parties of the Company. Any potential allottees will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including, but not limited to, the following:
(i) the methods of raising funds available to the Company (including but not limited to, rights issue or other issues in which existing security holders can participate), while balancing interest from potential allottees with the interests of existing Shareholders;
(ii) the effect of the issue of equity securities on the control of the Company and balancing the interests of existing Shareholders. Allocation will be subject to takeover thresholds;
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company and its need for working capital at any given time; and
(iv) advice from corporate, financial, and broking advisors (if applicable).
Prior issues or agreed issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2
The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2025 Annual General Meeting held on 20 May 2025. In respect of the Company's utilisation of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the AGM, on 12 September 2025 the Company issued 22,150,000 Shares to sophisticated and professional investors identified by Peak Asset Management Pty Ltd at a price of $0.0135 per Share to raise an aggregate of $299,025. The funds raised were used to provide working capital including to support inventory growth, streamline operations, deliver business strategy (including SKU rationalisation), shift to higher margin channels and achieve sustained profitability. The Shares represented 9.99% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of the 12-month period and the issue price represented a 20.59% discount to the closing market price of Shares on the issue date.
At the time of despatching this Notice of Annual General Meeting the entity is not proposing to make an issue of securities under rule 7.1A.2

(iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options.
If a notice delivered under paragraph (g)(ii) above for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.

The Options are transferable subject to any restriction or escrow arrangements imposed by ASX or under applicable Australian securities laws.
(n) Inconsistency with ASX Listing Rules

If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate.

All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.
Proxy which is a Body Corporate
Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an "Appointment of Corporate Representative" prior to admission.
