APPOINTMENT OF PROFESSOR DONNA CROSS

Wangle Technologies Limited ( ASX: WGL ) ( Wangle or Company ) is pleased to announce the appointment of Professor Donna Cross to the Board as Non-Executive Director of the Company with immediate effect.

Donna is a Professor with the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences at the University of Western Australia, is a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and the Head of Health Education and Promotion Research and the Director of the Early Childhood Development and Learning Research Collaboration at the Telethon Kids Institute.

Donna has been awarded over $21m in research funding, including eight NHMRC grants, six ARC grants, 37 WA Health Promotion Foundation research grants, and other competitive grants. This funding has supported applied intervention research addressing child and adolescent health promotion issues related to mental health, cyber safety, injury control, drug use control, and healthy lifestyles.

Donna has an international reputation for developing community-based interventions to reduce bullying and aggression among young people, including in online environments. She is currently the lead investigator on seven longitudinal research projects aiming to prevent bullying, cyberbullying and associated mental health harms among Australian children and adolescents. Her strong focus on translational strategies has culminated in the dissemination of school curriculum and bullying prevention resources to over 3,000 Australian schools and schools in the USA and the UK.

The translation of Donna's research findings into practice have included four distinct multicomponent evidence-based policy and practice interventions (addressing bullying prevention, road safety, smoking cessation and sun safety), which are currently being systematically disseminated through Australia and internationally (including South Africa via National Institutes of Health (NIH) research funding), as well as five other interventions in WA schools.

In 2012, Donna received the award for WA Australian of the Year for her services to children's health. Donna has also won awards for service professionalism and enterprise, including the 2012 Future Justice Prize for Australian leadership and initiative in the advancement of future justice; the Mental Health Research and Education Award from

the Mental Health Commission of WA; NGO awards for road safety, smoking cessation, mental health, and bullying and violence prevention (e.g. from the Australian Council for Health Physical Education and Recreation); and the National Honour Award for scholarly achievements and leadership in children's school-based health research.

The appointment of Donna to the Board of Wangle is a result of months of collaboration by the team at Wangle and Telethon Kids Institute to provide a world first approach to a problem which is at the forefront of every parent’s mind. Donna’s involvement along with the rest of her research team at Telethon Kids Institute has been fundamental to the specification and design the Wangle Family Insites product offering.

Donna will provide Wangle with un-paralleled expertise in the area of children’s health and access to a global network of practitioners and researcher bodies which will ensure Wangle Family Insites remains at the forefront of this specific industry.

Subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval, the Company has agreed to issue 3 million options to Donna. The options will be exercisable at $0.10 and expire on 31 August 2019.

Donna said: “I welcome the opportunity to contribute at board level to the continued development and commercialisation of the Wangle technologies and in particular the recently announced Wangle Family Insites product. I also look forward to working with the board and contributing to the success of Wangle”.

Wangle Technologies MD and CEO Mr Sean Smith said: “It is an absolute pleasure to welcome Professor Donna Cross to Wangle’s Board of Directors today. To have the expertise and guidance of a globally recognised expert in children’s health and child online behaviour will be invaluable as we prepare the Wangle Family Insites product for commercial release later this year.”
