Voting in person (or by attorney)
Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and attendance recorded. Attorneys should bring with them an original or certified copy of the power of attorney under which they have been authorised to attend and vote at the meeting.
Voting by a Corporation
A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.
Voting by proxy
-
A Shareholder who is entitled to attend and cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the meeting.
-
The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies in accordance with section 249X of the Corporations Act (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).
-
A proxy need not be a Shareholder.

-
Should any Resolution, other than those specified in this Notice, be proposed at the meeting, a proxy may vote on that Resolution as they think fit.

-
Shareholders who return their proxy forms with a direction how to vote but do not nominate the identity of their proxy will be taken to have appointed the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf, who must vote the proxies as directed.
-
Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular Resolution and, if it does the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the Resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands and if the proxy is the Chair of the meeting at which the Resolution is voted on, the proxy must vote on a poll and must vote that way (i.e. as directed) and if the proxy is not the Chair, the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).
-
Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that if an appointment of a proxy specified the way the proxy is to vote on a particular Resolution at a meeting of the Company’s members and the appointed proxy is not the Chair of the meeting and at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the Resolution and either the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting or the proxy does not vote on the Resolution, the Chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the Resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the Resolution of the meeting.
-
To be effective, proxies must be lodged by 10.00am (WST) on 7 November 2017. Proxies lodged after this time will be invalid.
-

-
(b) by faxing a completed proxy form to or by fax to +61 8 9463 6373.
The proxy form must be signed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder's attorney. Proxies given by corporations must be executed in accordance with the Corporations Act. Where the appointment of a proxy is signed by the appointer's attorney, a certified copy of the power of attorney, or the power itself, must be received by the Company at the above address, or by facsimile, and by 10.00am (WST) on 9 November 2017. If facsimile transmission is used, the power of attorney must be certified.
Shareholders who are entitled to vote
In accordance with Regulations 7.11.37 and 7.11.38 of the Corporations Regulations 2001, the Board has determined that a person's entitlement to vote at the Annual General Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the Register of Shareholders as at 4.00pm (WST) on 7 November 2017.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the 2017 Annual General Meeting of Ookami Limited ( Company ).
The Directors recommend shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
Certain terms and abbreviations used in this Explanatory Statement have defined meanings which are explained in the glossary appearing at the end of this Explanatory Statement.

The first item of the Notice deals with the consolidated annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 together with the Directors’ declaration, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report. Shareholders should consider these documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered. The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The reports are available on the Company’s website at www.ookami.com.au.
No Resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the accounts and on the business, operations and management of the Company.
The Chairman will also provide Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the auditor questions relevant to:
-
the conduct of the audit;
-
the preparation and content of the independent audit report;
-

RESOLUTION 1 – NON BINDING RESOLUTION TO ADOPT REMUNERATION REPORT
The Directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2017 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the policy for the remuneration of the Directors and key executives of the Company. 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, section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote on the Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors, sets out remuneration details for each Director and any service agreements and sets out the details of any share based compensation. The remuneration report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for a financial year.
6
The Chair must allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
Voting consequences
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.

Board Recommendation

RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
Background
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ). The Additional 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An entity will be eligible to seek approval under Listing Rule 7.1A if: (a) the entity has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less; and (b) the entity is not included in the S&PASX 300 Index. The Company is an Eligible Entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $6,062,215, as at 18 September 2017.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the number of Equity Securities to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below).
The Company is putting Resolution 3 to Shareholders to seek approval to issue additional Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. It is anticipated that funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity would be applied as set out in this Resolution below.
Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to permit the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Additional Placement Period (as defined below), without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
8
Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice the Company has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: OOK).
Based on the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice, the Company will have 252,592,289 Shares on issue and therefore, subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 3 Equity Securities will be permitted to be issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A. Shareholders should note that the calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity is a moving calculation and will be based on the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A at the time of issue of the Equity Securities. The table below demonstrates various examples as to the number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
-
(iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
-
D is 10%.
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
Resolution 3 is a special Resolution, requiring approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) in order to be passed.
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
The following information in relation to this Resolution 3 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A:
- (c) Minimum Price: The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company's Equity Securities in that class over the 15 Trading Days on which shares in that class were recorded immediately before:
9
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(d) Risk of voting dilution: If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted. There is also a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.
The table shows:
-
(e) examples of where variable “A” is at its current level and where variable “A” has increased by 50% and by 100%;
-
(f) examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities is the current market price as at close of trade on 18 September 2017, being $0.024, (current market price), where the issue price is halved, and where it is doubled; and
-
(g) the dilutionary effect will always be 10% if the maximum number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity are issued.
10
| Variable ‘A’ | Number of Shares issued and funds raised under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity and dilution effect |
Dilution | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.012 Issue Price at half the current market price |
$0.024 Issue Price at current market price |
$0.048 Issue Price at double the current market price |

| Funds raised | $303,111 | $606,221 | $1,212,443 | |

| Funds raised | $454,666 | $909,332 | $1,818,664 | |
| 100% increase in current variable A 505,184,578 Shares |
Shares issued – 10% voting dilution |
50,518,458 | 50,518,458 | 50,518,458 |
| Funds raised | $606,221 | $1,212,443 | $2,424,886 |
*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:
-
(h) There are currently 252,592,289 Shares on issue.
-
(i) The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 18 September 2017.
-
(j) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
(k) 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 or ratification under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(l) 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.
-
(m) This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(n) No Options are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(o) The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, for the purposes of the above table, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised.
11
-
(p) 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%.
-
(q) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting and will expire on the earlier of:
-
(r) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
-
(s) the 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), ( Additional Placement Period ) after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid.
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(a) cash consideration. If Equity Securities are issued for cash consideration, the Company intends to use the funds for development of its existing assets, to acquire new assets or investments and/or general working capital purposes; or
-
(b) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets in, or complementary to, the fintech sector. If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, the Company will comply with the minimum issue price limitation under Listing Rule 7.1A.3 in relation to such issue and will release the valuation of the non-cash consideration to the market.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(a) the prevailing market conditions at the time of the issue;
-
(b) the purpose of the issue;
-
(c) the ability of the Company to raise funds at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities and whether the raising of any funds under such placement could be carried out by alternative means such as an entitlements offer, a placement and another offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(d) the dilutionary effect of the proposed issue of the Equity Securities on existing Shareholders at the time of the proposed issued of Equity Securities;
-
(e) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(f) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(g) advice from its professional advisers, including corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
12
The Company notes that:
-
(a) the Board has formed no specific intentions to offer any placement to any existing Shareholders, class of Shareholders or any new investors;
-
(b) the Board will always consider, prior to making any placement whether the raising of funds could be achieved by means of an entitlements issue to existing Shareholders; and
-
(c) if any issue is announced, the Company would disclose its reasons for undertaking that particular issue rather than an entitlements issue to existing shareholders, should that occur.
The recipients under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice. They may, however, include current Shareholders, substantial Shareholders and/or new investors none of whom will be related parties (or their associates) of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new assets or investments.
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
(i) the purpose of the issue;
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new assets or investments.
13
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, it will give to ASX:
-
(a) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
-
(b) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

On 8 September 2017, the Company’s current auditor, Ernst & Young, gave notice of its intention to resign as auditor of the Company to ASIC (under section 329(5) of the Corporations Act). The Company’s expectation is that ASIC’s consent will be forthcoming prior to the date of this Meeting. If ASIC does not consent to the resignation of Ernst & Young as auditor with effect from the date of the Annual General Meeting, Resolution 4 will not be proposed at the Meeting.
The Company has received:
-
(a) a nomination under section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act from a member of the Company for Pitcher Partners BA&A Pty Ltd ( Pitcher Partners ) to be appointed as the Company’s auditor, a copy of which is annexed as Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Statement; and
-
(b) a consent to act as auditors of the Company duly executed by Pitcher Partners, registered company auditors.
The reason for the change is that Pitcher Partners is considered a better match for the Company’s current size and operations.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the appointment of Pitchers Partner as the Company’s auditor will take effect after the Meeting.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
