EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.
PART A ORDINARY BUSINESS OF THE AGM
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at https://www.holistaco.com/index.html.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
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, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and Key Management Personnel of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 31 December 2022.
The Chair of the Meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for the Shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting and, as such, a reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
2.2 Voting consequences
If at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings and at the first of those annual general meetings, a Spill Resolution (as defined below) was not put to vote, the Company will be required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another general meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.
If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a general meeting of shareholders ( 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 previous 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.
7
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.
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
2.3 Proxy voting restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for Resolution 1 should note the following:
If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel as your proxy (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member as your proxy
You must direct the proxy how they are to vote on this Resolution. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.
If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member) or if you appoint any other person who is not a member of the Key Management Personnel as your proxy
You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution, and you do not need to tick any further acknowledgement on the proxy form.
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report.
3. RESOLUTIONS 2 & 3 – ELECTION AND RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
3.1 General
Clause 14.4 of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.
Pursuant to the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders.
Mr David Deloub, having been appointed as a Non-Executive Director on 6 April 2023 in accordance with the Constitution, will retire in accordance with the Constitution, and being eligible, seeks election from Shareholders.
Clause 14.2 of the Constitution requires that at each annual general meeting, one third of the Directors (except the Managing Director who is exempt) must retire from office. In determining the number of Directors to retire, no account is taken of the Managing Director, or directors who have been appointed under Clause 14.4 of the Constitution.
The Company has two Directors, Mrs Loren King and Mr Walter Joseph, who are eligible for retirement by rotation. Mrs Loren King will retire by rotation.
Accordingly, Mrs Loren King retires in accordance with Clause 14.2 of the Constitution and, being eligible, seeks re-election. Mrs Loren King’s details are set out below.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE
4.1 General
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.
However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $6.11 million (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 27 September 2022 and excluding any restricted securities that may be on issue).
9
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 4:
(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid
The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
(b) Minimum price
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 4.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate
The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for the acquisition of new assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), and continued expenditure in the Company’s current business and/or general working capital.
(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
10
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 closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 4 April 2023.
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 7.1A Mandate.
| Dilution | Dilution | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Shares on Issue (Variable A in Listing Rule 7.1A.2) |

557,600,134 shares |
55,760,013 shares |
$446,080 | $892,160 | $1,338,240 |
*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:
-
There are currently 278,800,067 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 4 April 2023 (being $0.016).
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
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.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
-
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%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
11
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate 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 7.1A Mandate, 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, share purchase plan, placement 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).
(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company has not previously obtained approval from its Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and as such has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to any previous approval in the previous 12-month period.
4.3 Voting Exclusion Statement
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.
5. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES
5.1 General
On 16 August 2022, the Company issued 1,450,980 Shares via a placement to a service provider at a nominal value of $0.04 per share in consideration for services provided to the Company at a value of $58,039.20 (Placement).
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the Placement.
Broadly speaking, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company may issue Equity Securities up to 15% of its Shares on issue in a 12 month period without obtaining shareholder approval. An issue does not count towards the 15% annual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if it is approved by shareholders.
12
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without shareholder approval, will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and is ratified by shareholders.
If the Placement is ratified, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. If Resolution 5 is not passed, the 1,450,980 Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement.
5.2 Technical Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Shares:
-
(a) 1,450,980 Shares were issued using the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and accordingly shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is sought;
-
(b) 1,450,980 Shares were issued on 16 August 2022;
-
(c) the Shares issued on 16 August 2022 were issued at a nominal price of $0.04 per Share;
-
(a) the Shares will rank equally with the Company’s current issued Shares;
-
(b) the Shares were issued to Citicorp Nominees Pty Ltd;
-
(c) the Placement was arranged as consideration for services provided by an external consultant. None of the subscribers were related parties of the Company; and
-
(d) no funds raised from the Placement as the Shares were issued as consideration for the provision of consulting services.
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
6. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES
6.1 General
On 14 July 2022, the Company issued 2,000,000 Shares via a placement to a service provider at a nominal value of $0.04 per share in consideration for services provided to the Company at a value of $80,000.00 (Placement).
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the Placement.
Broadly speaking, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company may issue Equity Securities up to 15% of its Shares on issue in a 12 month period without obtaining shareholder approval. An issue does not count towards the 15% annual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if it is approved by shareholders.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without shareholder approval, will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and is ratified by shareholders.
If the Placement is ratified, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. If Resolution 6 is not passed, the 2,000,000 Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement.
13
6.2 Technical Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Shares:
-
(d) 2,000,000 Shares were issued using the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and accordingly shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is sought;
-
