Explanatory Statement
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at 12:00 PM AEST on Friday, 10 April 2026 as a physical meeting with a webinar.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.
If you are in any doubt about what to do in relation to the Resolutions contemplated in the Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Statement, it is recommended that you seek advice from an accountant, solicitor or other professional advisor.
Full details of the business to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting are set out below.
Resolutions
Resolution 1 - Ratification of Shares Issued to Fenja Capital Partners Under Listing Rule 7.1
Background
As announced by the Company on 31 December 2025 and 16 February 2026, the Company issued 125,000,000 Fully Paid Ordinary Shares ( Shares ) at $0.007 per Share as part of the Fenja settlement and utilising the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
120,000,000 Shares were issued on Wednesday, 31 December 2025 and 5,000,000 Shares were issued on Monday, 16 February 2026.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification and approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes) of the issue of 125,000,000 Shares to Fenja as part of the settlement (issued under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1).
Resolution 1 is an Ordinary Resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
This Resolution proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the prior issue and allotment of 125,000,000 Shares, which were issued on 31 December 2025 and 16 February 2026 ( Issue Date ).
All of the Shares were issued by utilising the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of Shares to Fenja did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the Issue Date.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further
FirstWave Cloud Technology Limited | Extraordinary General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
8
equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of Shares to Fenja will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of Shares to Fenja will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5.
-
(a) 125,000,000 Shares were issued to Fenja Capital Partners as part of a settlement.
-
(b) 125,000,000 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, ratification of which is sought pursuant to Resolution 1.
-
(c) 120,000,000 Shares were issued on 31 December 2025 and 5,000,000 Shares were issued on 16 February 2026.
-
(d) The Shares were issued at A$0.007 per Share.
-
(e) The Shares were issued as part of the settlement agreement between Fenja and the Company.
-
(f) The Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
-
(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 1.
Directors’ recommendation
The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for Resolution 1.
Resolution 2 – Approval of Issue of Warrant to Partners for Growth
Background
As announced by the Company on 31 December 2025, the Company has completed an agreement with global credit investor, Partners for Growth VII, L.P. ( PFG ) for a $2.5 million loan facility ( Facility ).
As part of the agreement, PFG is to be granted a warrant that is exchangeable into up to 89,750,723 Ordinary Shares with an exchange price equal to the 5-day VWAP prior to Closing, on 17 December 2025, of $0.0083564786 per Share ( Warrant ).
As the 5-day VWAP prior to 17 December 2025 of $0.0083564786 is lower than $0.018 per Share, the exercise price of the Warrant is $0.018 per Share.
The number of Shares into which the Warrant is exercisable is calculated as $750,000 divided by the 5-day VWAP prior to Closing of the loan facility.
The Warrant may be exchanged into Shares on a “cashless” basis, i.e. by reducing the number of Shares issued by the value of the cash that would otherwise be needed to be paid in exchanging the Warrant.
The key terms of the Warrant are set out in Schedule 1.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and for all other purposes)
FirstWave Cloud Technology Limited | Extraordinary General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
9
for the proposed issue of the Warrant as part of the Facility.
Resolution 2 is an Ordinary Resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in the ASX Listing Rule 7.1 section in Resolution 1 above.
The Warrant is treated as an equity security for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules. However, the proposed issue of the Warrant (for which approval is being sought pursuant to Resolution 2) falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. Under Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 17), if an issue of equity securities is subject to shareholder approval, it does not count towards the 15% placement limit set by Listing Rule 7.1, however the entity must not issue the equity securities without such approval. The proposed issue therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Consequence of approval
Shareholder approval is required for Resolution 2 to enable the Company to issue the Warrant.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of the Warrant will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of the Warrant will not occur and the Company will be required to pay a further fee of A$350k to PFG in lieu of issuing the Warrant.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3.
-
(a) The Warrant will be issued to Partners for Growth VII, L.P. (or its nominee(s)).
-
(b) There is 1 Warrant to be issued. Under the Warrant, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued on exchange of the Warrant is 89,750,723.
-
(c) The Warrant is exchangeable (in whole or in part) into Shares at an exercise price of $0.018 per Share and expires 5 years from date of issue. The Shares to be issued on exchange of the Warrant will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
-
(d) The Warrant will be issued no later than three months following the date of the Meeting.
-
(e) The purpose of the issue of the Warrant is to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Facility and to minimise the additional fees payable by the Company under the Facility.
-
(f) The Warrant is being issued under the Facility, a summary of the material terms of which is set out in the Background section of Resolution 2 above.
-
(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 2.
Directors’ recommendation
The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for Resolution 2.
Resolution 3 – Approval of Put right for Warrant
Background
As outlined in the background to Resolution 2 above, the Company has completed an agreement
FirstWave Cloud Technology Limited | Extraordinary General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
10
for the Facility with global credit investor, PFG, and in connection with that has agreed to issue the Warrant to PFG (subject to Shareholder approval).
Under the terms of the Warrant, PFG is to have the option (in lieu of exchanging part or all the Warrant into Shares) to put the Warrant to the Company (i.e. require the Company to repurchase the Warrant) for up to A$350k. The Warrant can also be ‘put’ upon a sale, IPO, change of control, liquidation, after 4 years or upon expiration.
As the Warrant is treated like an option for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules, the grant of this right requires Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 6.23.2.
The key terms of the ‘put right’ are set out in the Warrant in Schedule 1.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 6.23.2 (and for all other purposes) for the grant of the proposed right to ‘put’ the Warrant to the Company.
Resolution 3 is an Ordinary Resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
ASX Listing Rule 6.23.2
The Warrant is treated as an option for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules. Under Listing Rule 6.23.2, a change which has the effect of cancelling an option for consideration can only be made if holders of ordinary securities approve the change. Accordingly, the grant of the ‘put’ right as part of the Warrant, which allows PFG to require the Company to repurchase the Warrant, requires Shareholder approval.
Consequence of approval
Shareholder approval is required for Resolution 3 to enable the Company to issue the Warrant to PFG.
If Resolution 3 is passed, PFG will have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Warrant (if issued) for a cash consideration of up to A$350k.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the issue of the Warrant (and the grant of the ’put’ right) will not occur and the Company will be required to pay a further fee of A$350k to PFG in lieu of issuing the Warrant.
Directors’ recommendation
The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for Resolution 3.
