INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS
Voting entitlement
Pursuant to Section 1109N of the Corporations Act, the Company has determined that for the purpose of the Extraordinary General Meeting ( EGM ), ordinary shares ( Shares ) will be taken to be held by the persons who are the registered holders at 7pm (AEDT) on 30 May 2020. Accordingly, share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the meeting.
Virtual attendance at the EGM
In order to minimise health risks created by the rapidly evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and ensure compliance with current applicable laws relating to public gatherings, the Board strongly encourages Shareholders:
to lodge a directed proxy appointing the Chair as proxy with directions on how to vote each item of business rather than attending the meeting in person; and
as an alternative to attending the EGM in person, to observe the EGM through a live webcast at https://agmlive.link/EOL20. Details on how to observe and submit questions online are available in the attached Virtual EGM Guide.
All shareholders are strongly encouraged to:
-
to submit any questions ahead of the EGM to the Company; and
-
appoint the Chair as proxy with directions on how to vote in each item of business to ensure that each Shareholder’s vote is cast and counted with certainty. The Chairman is required to follow your instructions.
Further information on how to appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf is described under the heading “ Voting by Proxy ” under this section. Please pay particular attention to this section in order to correctly appoint a proxy.
Shareholders who wish to observe the EGM, instructions are available in the Virtual EGM guide. Registration will open 1 hour before the start of the meeting.
Shareholders are strongly urged to submit questions ahead of the EGM to the Company through submitting a completed form accompanying this Notice of Meeting, or by way of email to [email protected].
In-person attendance
While the Company will seek to take all reasonable precautions available, the Board cannot give any assurance that those persons wishing to attend the EGM in person will not be putting themselves at risk to health hazards concerning COVID-19.
Shareholders could also be in breach of applicable laws around public gatherings if they attend the EGM in person. To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the EGM venue or require any person to leave the venue so as to ensure the health and safety of the attendees at the EGM and compliance with applicable laws. The Board strongly urges shareholders to review and follow the Australian Department of Health’s instructions and recommendations in relation to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The EGM will only consist of the items of business set out in this Notice of Meeting.
Due to travel restrictions and to minimize health risks to shareholders, officers and other attendees, only the Chair will attend the EGM in person. Other Directors and Senior Management are not expected to attend in-person and will participate in the EGM virtually or otherwise.

register shall alone be entitled to vote. If the appointment is signed by an attorney, the power of attorney or a certified copy of it must be sent with the proxy form.
To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the proxy form included with this notice of meeting and return it to the Company Secretary, Energy One Limited so that it is received no later than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
Background
The Company announced on 24 December 2019 that it had entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire all the shares in eZ-nergy SAS for €4 million ( Share Purchase Agreement ). This is payable as follows :-
==> picture [465 x 102] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Euro AUD * Consideration When Payable
€2,000,000 $3,636,364 Cash from equity raising On Completion
€500,000 $802,182 Equity to eZ-nergy SAS shareholders On Completion
€500,000 $909,091 Cash from equity raising and cashflow Six months post completion
€500,000 $909,091 Cash from cashflow Twelve months post completion
€500,000 $909,091 Cash from cashflow Eighteen months post completion
€4,000,000 $7,165,819 Total Consideration
----- End of picture text -----
- $1 AUD = €0.55 EUR. Equity issued to eZ-nergy shareholders has been recalculated to be issued at the same price as the equity raising of $2.20 per share at the original exchange rate agreed in the Share Purchase Agreement.
Regulatory approval has been received from French Government to proceed with the acquisition.
The Company remains of the view that the acquisition will be earnings accretive in FY2021 and also adds multiple synergistic benefits. Since the announcement in December, the Company explored a number of avenues for financing the transaction, including using all or partial debt, placements through a broking firm, internal cash flow funding and restructuring the transaction itself. Shareholders will be aware of the turmoil that the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed on the share and capital markets. A concern for the Board was the approaching deadline in the Share Purchase Agreement.
The decision to use a mix of Director and Officer funding combined with a placement to Topline Capital, with the Topline placement setting an arm’s length price was ultimately required in order to provide assured and timely financing of the eZ-nergy acquisition. The vendors have extended the completion deadline to allow the Company to complete this equity raising process.
To fund the acquisition the Company intends to raise equity as follows :-
(a) a placement to pre-acquisition shareholders of eZ-nergy SAS of 364,628 Shares issued at the Issue Price of $2.20 per Share ( eZ-nergy Placement Shares ) (resolution 1).
(b) a placement to raise approximately $2.2 million (before costs) from the issue of 1,000,000 Shares issued at the Issue Price of $2.20 per Share to Topline Capital Partners LP ( Topline Placement Shares ) (resolution 2); and
(c) a placement to the Richard Standen of up to a total of 200,000 Shares ( Officer Placement Shares ) issued at the Issue Price of $2.20 per Share, to raise a further to $440,000 (resolution 3); and
(d) a placement to the Company’s directors of up to a total of 800,000 Shares ( Directors Placement Shares ) issued at the Issue Price of $2.20 per Share, to raise a further to $1.76 million (resolution 4 and 5);
The Issue Price of $2.20 per share represents a 11.3% discount to the closing price of Shares on 16 April 2020 of $2.48; and a 7.0% discount to the Company’s 10-day VWAP to 16 April 2020 of $2.37.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the equity raising in (b), (c) and (d) to pay the €2 million acquisition cost on completion and €0.5 million six months from completion; and the remainder to contribute to working capital. The two instalments of €0.5 million 12 months from completion and 18 months from completion is anticipated to be funded from future operating cashflows and remaining proceeds from the equity raise. Completion is expected on approximately 3 June 2020. This is referred to as the Placement Use .
Resolution -1-3: Approval/Ratification of issue of Officer Placement Shares, Topline Placement Shares and eZ-nergy Placement Shares
The purpose of this resolution is for shareholders to approve, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, and for all other purposes, the funds so raised for the Placement Use referred to above.
Listing Rule 7.1 provides (subject to certain exceptions) that prior shareholder approval is required for an issue of shares, if the shares, when aggregated with the shares issued by a company during the last 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. Under Listing Rule 7.1, a company may issue up to 15% of its ordinary share capital in any 12 month rolling period on a non pro-rata basis without shareholder approval.
Listing Rule 7.4 also provides that an issue or an agreement to issue shares made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 where the issue or agreement to issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and the shareholders subsequently approve it. The issue of the Topline Placement Shares has already taken place within the 15% limit
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
Energy One Limited
ABN 37 076 583 018
prescribed by Listing Rule 7.1. The approval and ratification sought under Listing Rule 7.4 for the agreement to issue the Officer Placement Shares and the eZ-nergy Placement Shares is so that the impending issue of those shares will be treated as having been approved and ratified for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
The approval to issue the Topline Placement Shares and the ratification of the agreement to issue the Officer Placement Shares and the eZ-nergy SAS Placement shares is effectively an approval to refresh the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, should there be a requirement to do so.
If shareholders approve the resolutions, the prior and proposed share issues would be treated, for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, as having been made with prior member approval. The issued shares would then cease to use up part of the Company’s 15% limit and would enable that proportion of the 15% limit to be used for a future issue of equity securities. The Company would have the flexibility to issue more shares in the next 12 months if an opportunity arises which the Directors believe is in the best interests of the Company. If shareholders do not approve the resolution it will not invalidate the shares issued or prevent the Company from being able to issue the Officer Placement Shares or eZ-nergy Placement shares (as the Company will have the ability to do so consistently with Listing Rule 7.1). Information required to be provided to shareholders to satisfy Listing Rule 7.4 is specified in Listing Rule 7.5. In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, Shareholders are advised of the following particulars in relation to each Share issue:
Details of the issue of the eZ-nergy Placement Shares and in connection with the Placement Use:
Number of Securities 364,628 Issue price $2.20 Issue date 3 June 2020 or as soon as practicable after the meeting but in any event within one month of the meeting Terms of Securities Ordinary shares, ranking equally with all other existing fully paid ordinary shares Name of allottees Johann Zamboni 153,144 Adrien Patenotre 127,620 Jean Angotti 83,864 Use of share issue Part consideration to acquire all shares in eZ-nergy SAS
Details of the issue of the Topline Placement Shares in connection with the Placement Use:
Number of Securities 1,000,000 Issue price $2.20 Issue date Expected to be 3 May 2020 Terms of Securities Ordinary shares, ranking equally with all other existing fully paid ordinary shares Name of allottees Topline Capital Partners LP Use of share issue Placement Use referred to above
Details of the issue of the Officer Placement Shares in connection with the Placement Use:
Number of Securities 200,000 Issue price $2.20 Issue date 2 June 2020 (or no later than 3 months after the date of the meeting) Terms of Securities Ordinary shares, ranking equally with all other existing fully paid ordinary shares Name of allottees Richard Standen (or his nominee/s) Use of share issue Placement Use referred to above
The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 to approve/ratify the issues of securities. The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3.
Resolutions 4 and 5: Approval for the issue of the Directors Placement Shares
Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 and for all other purposes, to issue the Directors Placement Shares as follows:
Resolution 4 –400,000 Shares (subscription $880,000) to Ottmar Weiss (or his nominee/s); Resolution 5 –400,000 Shares (subscription $880,000) to Ian Ferrier (or his nominee/s);
In each case at an issue price of $2.20 per Share to raise an aggregate amount of $1,760,000. It is proposed that, if Shareholders approve the applicable Resolution, the Directors Placement Shares will be issued as soon as practicable after the date of the Meeting and, in any event, no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
Energy One Limited
ABN 37 076 583 018
If Resolutions 4 and 5 are approved, the issue of the Directors Placement Shares will raise an aggregate amount of $1,760,000. The Company intends to use these funds for the Placement Use referred to above.
The reason for seeking the approval of Shareholders contemplated by Resolutions 4 and 5 is to enable the Directors to demonstrate their support for the Company and to do so by participating in an issue of Shares to support the acquisition of eZ-nergy SAS.
The terms of issue of the Shares are fully paid ordinary shares which rank equally to all other existing ordinary shares of the Company on issue.
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.11, the Company must not issue securities to a related party of the Company unless it obtains Shareholder approval.
Messrs Weiss and Ferrier are related parties of the Company under Listing Rule 10.11.1 as they are Directors.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to a related party pf a public company. Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that, for a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party of a company, the company must:
a) obtain approval of the company’s shareholders in the manner set out in Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act; and b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exemptions set out in Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
For the purposes of Chapter 2E, the proposed placement of the Directors Placement Shares to Messrs Weiss and Ferrier will constitute “giving a financial benefit”.
The non-interested Directors have formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the issue and allotment of the Directors Placement Shares to Messrs Weiss and Ferrier as the exemption in section 210 of the Corporations Act will apply. The Directors Placement Shares will be issued on the same terms as the Topline Placement Shares which are being issued to a non-related party and as such, the giving of the financial benefit to Messrs Weiss and Ferrier will be on arm's length terms.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14), if approval for the issue of the Directors Placement Shares is given under Listing Rule 10.11, separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
Voting Exclusions are referred to earlier in the notice of meeting.
Information required under listing rule 10.13 is included in the above.
The Directors, having explored all other avenues for financing the acquisition of eZ-nergy the directors believe that this capital raising is in the best interests of the Company and all shareholders. The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 1,2 and 3. The Directors, excluding Messrs Weiss and Ferrier, unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5.
