4. Background to the Proposed Transaction
4.1 Overview of the Merger
As announced on 14 January 2026, the Company is proposing to merge with Cannatrek Ltd (ACN 056 175 369) ( Cannatrek ), by the Company proposing to acquire 100% of the shares on issue in the capital of Cannatrek ( Merger ). The Merger is intended to be implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement pursuant to part 5.1 of the Corporations Act ( Scheme ). To implement the Scheme, the Company and Cannatrek have entered into a scheme implementation deed ( SID ). A summary of the material terms of the SID is set out in Section 4.3 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
Pursuant to the terms of the Scheme, LGP will acquire 100% of the shares in Cannatrek and each holder of fully paid ordinary shares in Cannatrek ( Cannatrek Shareholders ) will receive:
-
(a) 1.835806 new LGP Shares for every Cannatrek share held on the record date for the Scheme ( New LGP Shares ); and
-
(b) 0.727502 new LGP contingent value Shares for every Cannatrek share held on the record date for the Scheme ( New LGP CV Shares ),
(together, the Consideration Securities).
Page 7
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
The issue of the Consideration Securities does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. As the issue of the Consideration Securities exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is required.
If all Resolutions the subject of this Notice are approved by Shareholders, and subject to the other conditions to the Merger being satisfied, the Company will acquire all Cannatrek shares in consideration for the issue of the Consideration Securities. If the Merger is implemented, Cannatrek will become a wholly owned subsidiary of LGP to form the Merged Group. It is a condition precedent to the SID that the Resolutions the subject of this Notice are approved and the condition cannot be waived. In the event that one or more the Resolutions the subject of this Notice are not approved by Shareholders, the Transaction will not be completed.
4.2 About Cannatrek
(a) Introduction
Cannatrek is a licensed manufacturer and distributor of medicinal cannabis products, with operations spanning GMP-certified packaging, proprietary brands, and national compliant distribution. Cannatrek operates within the medicinal cannabis supply chain sourcing bulk or finished medicinal cannabis from licensed domestic and international producers, manufacturing (packaging and labelling) products under its own brands, and distributing them to pharmacies and authorised channels across Australia.
Although Cannatrek retains cultivation-ready land and appropriate licenses, it does not currently engage in cultivation or processing activities.
Cannatrek also supports patient and prescriber engagement through two proprietary digital platforms:
-
(i) Greenship® , a B2B platform connecting pharmacies to a curated range of medicinal cannabis products; and
-
(ii) MyEden® , a patient-facing digital tool offering telehealth booking, prescription management, and pharmacy delivery options.
Cannatrek is headquartered in Melbourne and employs approximately 80 staff across its operations.
(b) Operational Model
Cannatrek’s current operations focus on secondary manufacturing (packaging and labelling), GMP-compliant storage, and national distribution of medicinal cannabis supplied by third-party growers and manufacturers. Its supply chain is supported by a compliant logistics network and integrated digital platforms.
(i) Shepparton Facility (VIC)
Cannatrek’s facility in the Greater Shepparton region has been granted Major Project Status by the Australian Government and serves as its primary operational site for:
- (A) Manufacturing (Packaging and branding): Dried flower sourced from licensed third-parties is packaged and labelled under Cannatrek’s proprietary brands in accordance with GMP standards; and
Page 8
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
- (B) Storage & Distribution: The site acts as Cannatrek’s national logistics centre. Its vaulted storage is licensed for both raw materials and finished goods and is large enough to meet product demand from domestic pharmacies and other licensed channel partners.
Cannatrek operates an asset-light supply model and does not currently undertake inhouse cultivation. While the facility includes land and infrastructure suitable for cultivation, Cannatrek has made a deliberate decision to prioritise third-party sourcing to maintain flexibility, optimise capital efficiency and access a broader range of global genetics.
Cannatrek’s cultivation licences are held in inactive status to preserve strategic optionality. Domestic cultivation would only be activated where Cannatrek can secure differentiated genetics that create distinct product opportunities and where local production can be delivered at a cost base that supports scalable, competitive pricing and sustainable margins.
This approach ensures that any future cultivation activation is commercially disciplined and aligned with the long-term portfolio and margin strategy, rather than driven solely by asset utilisation.
(ii) Supply Chain Model
Cannatrek sources medicinal cannabis products from a network of licensed local contract growers and overseas suppliers. Cannatrek then conducts GMP-standard packaging and labelling and distributes products across Australia via:
-
(A) Direct B2B distribution to pharmacy and clinics;
-
(B) Greenship ®, its online pharmacy ordering platform; and
-
(C) Third-party distributors, including Vitura and Montu.
(iii) Digital Infrastructure
Cannatrek maintains its market presence in part through two key digital platforms:
-
(A) Greenship[®] , a B2B eCommerce platform enabling pharmacies to browse, order, and track medicinal cannabis products from Cannatrek and select third-party suppliers.
-
(B) MyEden[®] , is a B2C-facing digital health infrastructure platform that enables patients to discover practitioners, book appointments, and manage their prescriptions in a secure, compliant digital environment.
The platform provides booking, secure communications, clinical workflow tools, and pharmacy connectivity. All medical consultations, prescribing decisions, patient consent and clinical governance are undertaken by independent authorised medical practitioners operating their own private practices on the MyEden platform.
Page 9
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
Cannatrek does not provide medical services, does not direct prescribing behaviour and does not participate in clinical decision-making. MyEden functions solely as the digital infrastructure layer supporting independent clinical practices.
Together, these platforms support compliant distribution, streamlined ordering, and continued connectivity with key segments of the medicinal cannabis value chain, including pharmacies, clinics, and prescribers.
(c) Product and Distribution Overview
Cannatrek’s commercial operations are centred on the manufacture (packaging and branding) and distribution of a diversified medicinal cannabis product range. Cannatrek's portfolio spans both proprietary and third-party SKUs, with products sold nationally through pharmacy and other authorised channels.
- (i) Product Categories

-
(A) Dried flower – Standard inhaled format, packaged under proprietary brands;
-
(B) Oil – Oral and sublingual medical formulations;
-
(C) MCart – Cartridge-based vaporisable formats;
-
(D) Petcann – Cannabinoid-based compounding products for veterinary use; and
-
(E) Edibles – Ingestible medicinal cannabis products, offered in approved formats.
-

As at the date of this Notice, Cannatrek’s capital structure is summarised below:
| Type of security | Number on issue |
|---|---|
| Cannatrek Shares | 276,639,435 |
| Cannatrek Options | 4,269,492 |
The Cannatrek Options will be subject to a cash-free exercise into Cannatrek Shares
in respect of each Cannatrek Option held at 5:00pm (Melbourne time) on the date the Scheme becomes Effective with the cash-free exercise occurring on the day after the Scheme becomes Effective. If the Scheme is implemented, the holders of Cannatrek Options will receive the Scheme Consideration for their Cannatrek Shares along with the other Scheme Shareholders.
The number of Cannatrek Shares each Cannatrek Optionholder is entitled to was determined on the following basis:
-
applying a Black-Scholes option pricing methodology to determine a notional value for the Cannatrek Options held by each Cannatrek Optionholder ( Notional Option Value );
-
dividing the Notional Option Value by $0.12 (being the closing price of LGP Ordinary Shares on ASX on the trading day immediately preceding execution of the Scheme Implementation Deed) rounded to the nearest whole number ( Notional Option LGP Share Issue ); and
-
dividing the Notional Option LGP Share Issue by 1.835806 (being the number of New LGP Ordinary Shares issued per Cannatrek Share under the Scheme) rounded to the nearest whole number.
Accordingly, it is expected that a further 1,749,772 of Cannatrek Shares will be
issued in Cannatrek prior to the Implementation Date.

5. Overview of the Merged Group
5.1 Overview of the Merged Group
Following implementation of the Scheme, the business of Cannatrek and LGP will be combined under LGP (as the holding company of the Combined Group) to create an international, vertically integrated medicinal cannabis group with operations spanning cultivation, GMP manufacturing and packaging, distribution, and clinic and digital health channels in Australia and Europe. Pro forma revenue of the Combined Group for FY26 (for the year ending 31 March 2026) is expected to be in excess of A$100 million.[1]
The Combined Group is expected to operate across key parts of the medicinal cannabis value chain. LGP’s operations include cultivation and manufacturing capability in Denmark and Australia and an established international distribution footprint, including supply arrangements in Australia and 10 other international markets. Cannatrek will contribute Australian GMP-certified packaging and labelling capability, compliant storage and national distribution, supported by proprietary digital platforms.
In Australia, Cannatrek’s Shepparton facility is expected to remain a core operational site for the Combined Group, providing GMP-compliant packaging, labelling, storage and national logistics. In Europe, LGP’s Danish cultivation and manufacturing facility is expected to remain central to servicing European export markets. The Combined Group will have an operating footprint spanning the Australian and European medicinal cannabis markets, supporting distribution through pharmacy, wholesale and clinical channels, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
The Combined Group’s broader product and brand portfolio across proprietary and white-label offerings, is expected to support supply into a wider range of patient segments and price points.
5.2 Board recommendation
The Merger presents a number of advantages, as well as potential disadvantages and risks. On balance, the LGP Board believe that the advantages of the Merger outweigh the disadvantages and risks associated with the Merger.
The LGP Board unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the Resolutions to approve the issue of the Consideration Securities in connection with the Merger. The potential advantages of the Merger are set out below and are considered by the Board as reasons why they recommend that the Shareholders should support the Merger and vote in favour of Resolution 1.
5.3 Strategic rationale and advantages for the Merger
The combination of Cannatrek and LGP is expected to create value by leveraging complementary capabilities across the medicinal cannabis value chain, improving scale and operational efficiency in
1 The financial information is based upon LGP’s and Cannatrek’s 2025 audited financial statements. Revenue reflects a 12-month period to 31 March 2025 for LGP and a 12-month period to 30 June 2025 for Cannatrek. LGP reports gross revenue, while Cannatrek reports net revenue (being revenue net of distribution costs). EBITDA for LGP represents Adjusted EBITDA as defined in its audited financial statements for year ended 31 March 2025. Cannatrek’s EBITDA excludes net interest, foreign exchange movements, losses on sale of assets, restructuring and historical costs associated with the significant business restructure undertaken in early FY25, and losses from discontinued Operations relating to the closure of Cannatrek’s cultivation site. EBITDA is presented on an aggregate basis and has not been adjusted to achieve full like-for-like comparability. The financial information is historical in nature and provided for illustrative purposes only. It should not be relied upon as indicative of LGP’s future financial performance following completion of the proposed Merger. No alignment of the respective financial year ends has been undertaken in preparing the aggregate Combined Group information; alignment of reporting periods will occur following implementation of the proposed Merger.

Australia, accelerating the growth of LGP’s European operations, and establishing a platform for further international expansion.
Following implementation of the Scheme, the Combined Group is expected to operate an international medicinal cannabis business that has significant growth potential to generate shareholder value. The key strategic pillars underpinning the rationale for the combination are outlined below:
-
(a) Scale efficiencies and synergy opportunities in the Australian market : The Combined Group will focus on maintaining cash generation in the Australian market by leveraging the synergy opportunities created by combining two of Australia’s largest medicinal cannabis operators. Identified synergy opportunities include:
-
(i) Broader utilisation of Cannatrek’s GMP manufacturing capability;
-
(ii) Sourcing supply for Cannatrek’s product range from LGP’s cultivation, both in Australia and Denmark;
-
(iii) Strengthening brand and product diversification by enhancing the combined group’s ability to serve a wider range of patient needs and price points;
-
(iv) Optimising costs and expenses to improve margin performance; and
-
(v) Combining clinic and distribution assets where appropriate.
-
(b) Accelerating the expansion and growth of LGP’s Danish cultivation facility to serve ongoing growth in the European market: The strength of Cannatrek’s balance sheet will provide access to capital for the Combined Group, which is expected to accelerate the scaling and growth of LGP’s European operations, which is anticipated to be a principal growth engine for the Combined Group in the short term. The Combined Group intends to support investment in LGP’s Danish cultivation and manufacturing facility, including facility fit out and development and the working capital required to underwrite further growth.
The Combined Group will aim to improve the scale, yield and product quality of the Danish facility and, over time, improve returns on capital. This expansion is expected to support increasing European demand and assist in building the Combined Group’s international revenue base
Europe is projected to grow to become one of the largest medicinal cannabis markets worldwide and has been forecast to become approximately 10x the size of the Australian market.[2]
- (c) Platform for further international expansion : The Combined Group, exhibiting growth, is expected to become a platform for further international expansion. Via both organic initiatives, such as EU GMP warehousing and distribution for current supply partners, and investment and/or acquisition of synergistic opportunities that may emerge as the global industry consolidates, the Combined Group has the appetite, capability and resources to implement a broader international expansion strategy.
2 Prophecy Market Insights
Page 26
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
The Combined Group is expected to be cash generative and has unutilised debt capacity to assist in the funding of future initiatives.
Post Implementation, further work will be undertaken to refine these opportunities and to develop a post-merger integration plan designed to capture potential synergies, take full advantage of growth opportunities, and position the Combined Group to maximise value for shareholders. The realisation of the outcomes described in this Section is subject to execution risk, market conditions and the risks described in Section 0.

* On 19 February 2026, LGP announced that it had entered into a conditional agreement for the sale and leaseback of its Western Australian production facility ( WA Transaction ). Completion of the WA Transaction remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent and has not occurred as at the date of this Scheme Booklet.
The historical financial information of LGP above has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. As the WA Transaction was entered into after the relevant reporting dates and completion remains conditional, it has been treated as a non-adjusting subsequent event for the purposes of AASB 110 Events after the Reporting Period. Accordingly, the historical financial information has not been adjusted to reflect the WA Transaction. Similarly, the pro forma Combined Group financial information in this Section 5.9 reflects only those transactions that have occurred or are sufficiently certain to occur and have a continuing effect. As completion of the WA Transaction remains conditional and may not occur, it has not been included in the pro forma adjustments. The WA Transaction assets have a carrying value of $11.5 million and LGP will receive proceeds of $7.8 million as part of the transaction while leasing the site for $0.6 million per annum.

5.9 Risks
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
- (a) Introduction
The Scheme presents potential risks that Shareholders should consider when deciding how to vote on the Scheme.
There are a range of factors which may, either individually or in combination, affect the future operating performance, financial position, regulation, legal position, implementation of business strategy or reputation of Cannatrek and LGP.
The following sections outline:
-
(i) risks relating to the Scheme (see Section 5.10); and
-
(ii) risks specific to the Combined Group and its business and operations if the Merger is implemented (see Section 5.11).
In deciding whether to vote in favour of Resolution 1, Shareholders should read these Sections carefully and consider the relevant risk factors in conjunction with other information contained in this Notice. These risk factors do not take into account the individual investment objectives, individual risk profile, portfolio strategy, taxation and financial situation, position or particular needs of Shareholders. Shareholders should seek advice from independent and appropriately qualified financial, legal, stockbroking, taxation or other professional advisers.
For further information regarding the risks associated with the Cannatrek Group, please refer to the Scheme Booklet.
5.10 Risk relating to the Scheme
- (a) Risks relating to implementing the Scheme
Completion of the Scheme is subject to a number of Conditions Precedent. There can be no certainty, nor can Cannatrek or LGP provide any assurance, that these Conditions Precedent will be satisfied or waived (where applicable), or when that will occur. In addition, there are a number of other Conditions Precedent to the Scheme which are outside the control of Cannatrek and LGP, including, but not limited to:
-
(i) approval of the Scheme by the Requisite Majority of Cannatrek Shareholders;
-
(ii) approval by the Court of the Scheme at the Court hearing to be held on the Second Court Date; and
-
(iii) requisite regulatory and third party approvals and consents by 8:00am on the Second Court Date,
(refer to section 4.3(a) of this Explanatory Memorandum for further details).
In addition to the Conditions Precedent, each of Cannatrek and LGP has the right to terminate the SID in certain circumstances described in section 12.5(g). Accordingly, there is no certainty that the SID will not be terminated by either Cannatrek or LGP before the implementation of the Scheme.
Page 31
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
- (b) Rights, obligations and break fee under the SID
In addition, under the SID:
-
(i) Cannatrek is required to pay a break fee of $335,000 (excluding GST) to LGP if the Scheme does not proceed in certain circumstances (see Section 12.5(e)); and
-
(ii) LGP is required to pay a break fee of $335,000 (excluding GST) to Cannatrek if the Scheme does not proceed in certain circumstances (see Section 12.5(f)).
(c) Transactions and other costs
If the Scheme is implemented, LGP expects to pay an aggregate of approximately $1,000,000 (excluding GST) in transaction costs in connection with the Scheme. These transaction costs are primarily payable to LGP's financial, legal, tax and accounting advisors and the LGP Share Registry.
5.11 Combined Group specific risks
This Section describes some of the potential material risks associated with an investment in the Combined Group and the industries that the Combined Group will operate in following implementation of the Scheme. The Combined Group will be subject to a number of risks, both specific to its business activities and of a general nature. These risks may either individually or in combination materially adversely impact the future operating and financial performance of the Combined Group, the investment returns and the value of the New LGP Shares.
The occurrence or consequences of some of the risks described here are partially or completely outside of the control of LGP, the Combined Group Board and LGP's management team. The selection of risks has been based on the Combined Group's assessment of a combination of the probability of the risk occurring, the ability to mitigate the risk and the impact of the risk if it did occur. This assessment is based on the knowledge of the Combined Group Board as at the date of this Notice, but there is no guarantee or assurance that the risks will not change or that other risks will not emerge. There can be no guarantee that the Combined Group will achieve its stated objectives, or that any forward-looking statement contained in this Notice will be achieved or realised.
(a) Assumed liability risk
If the Transaction proceeds, LGP Shareholders will share a proportional risk of any contingent liabilities associated with the past operations of Cannatrek. This includes exposure to possible taxation, regulatory and legal claims in respect of, amongst other things, business practices, contractual arrangements, product and public liability and employee health and safety issues. LGP undertook a due diligence review regarding these potential exposures prior to signing the SID. Certain warranties and indemnities were obtained under the SID. In addition, certain warranties and indemnities were obtained by LGP from Cannatrek, recognising that as a consequence of the Transaction, the LGP Shareholders are accepting an indirect exposure to ~39.5% of any similar contingent liabilities of Cannatrek. Further, to the extent that liabilities arise from items included in the calculation of the Contingent Amount under the terms of the New LGP CV Shares, the ultimate ownership of will be altered by virtue of the New LGP CV Share conversion mechanism.
Page 32
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
(b) Maintaining and expanding medicinal cannabis licences and regulatory risk
The successful execution of the Combined Group's medicinal cannabis business objectives is contingent upon compliance with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements in Australia and other jurisdictions and obtaining all other required regulatory approvals for the import of starting materials and the production, sale, import and export of its medicinal cannabis products.
The Combined Group's ability to execute its business model and undertake its growth strategy is dependent on the Combined Group's ability to maintain its medicinal cannabis licences and permits as issued by the Office of Drug Control under the Narcotic Drugs Act 1967 (Cth) ( ODC ) as well as its State Poisons Indent wholesale and wholesale licences and permits issued by the Department of Health, Western Australia ( WA State Health ) to the Combined Group and its distribution subsidiaries, Health House, as well as its medicinal cannabis and narcotics licences and GMP manufacturing licence issued in respect of its Danish operations issued by the Danish Medicines Agency.
If, for whatever reason, it is determined that the Combined Group has not complied with, or is in breach of, applicable laws and regulatory requirements in Australia (or other jurisdictions), or has otherwise breached the terms of its licences and/or permits, there is a risk that the Combined Group's licences and permits may be revoked and the Combined Group may be subject to significant fines and penalties.
(c) Fit and proper person
To obtain the necessary licences required to operate in the medical cannabis industry, the ODC must first establish the integrity of the person applying for a licence or any person who has the ability to significantly influence the finances or operations of the licence holder. This is known as the “fit and proper person” test. In respect of an applicant who is a company, this test is applied to the Directors and officers of the company and any shareholder or person who is able to exercise a significant influence over the management or operation of the company’s business.
If, for whatever reason, the ODC does not accept any person who currently or in the future has the ability to significantly influence the finances or operations of the Combined Group as a “fit and proper person”, there is a risk that the ODC may seek to revoke the Combined Group's existing licences and permits.
If there is a change in the Board or shareholding of the Combined Group and that change results in a new Director or person having a significant influence over the management or operation of the Combined Group's business and that person does not pass the “fit and proper person” test, the ODC may determine that the Combined Group is not a “fit and proper person” to hold the relevant licences or permits, and any licences granted to the Combined Group could be revoked.
If such circumstances cause the revocation of any existing licences, there will be a materially adverse impact on the Combined Group's proposed activities and operations and consequently, the Combined Group's financial performance and prospects of its business.
(d) Danish facility expansion and facilities risk
The Combined Group's future growth is dependent, in part, on the successful development, expansion and optimisation of its Danish cultivation and manufacturing facilities and associated European operations. Any facility expansion, commissioning, scale-up or optimisation activities
Page 33
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
may be subject to delays, cost overruns, commissioning challenges, availability of contractors and skilled labour, and the need to maintain regulatory approvals and compliance requirements.
There is a risk that any expanded capacity may not be completed on time or within budget, or may not achieve expected yield, quality, efficiency or operating performance. Any failure to successfully deliver or optimise facility expansion or ramp-up may adversely affect the Combined Group's ability to meet demand and execute its growth strategy, and may materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's operations, financial performance and prospects.
As announced to ASX on 19 February 2026, LGP has also entered into a conditional agreement for the sale and leaseback its production processing facility in Western Australia. Completion of that transaction remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of multiple conditions precedent, many of which are outside LGP's control and some of which require further negotiation over commercial matters with third parties that may not be resolved and if so may result in termination of the sale. While it is currently contemplated that LGP would continue to utilise the facility for approximately 3.5 years under a lease arrangement following completion, there can be no assurance that the proposed sale will complete on the anticipated terms, or that the lease arrangement will operate as expected.
If the proposed sale completes, the Combined Group would no longer own that facility and would instead be reliant on contractual arrangements for continued access. Any failure to complete the transaction on acceptable terms, any disruption to the lease arrangement, or any operational constraints arising from the change in ownership may adversely affect the Combined Group’s manufacturing capacity, cost base, operational flexibility and ability to meet demand.
(e) Reliance on key relationships
The Combined Group will rely on key commercial relationships with suppliers, distributors, cultivators, pharmacies and clinics, including local and international distribution partners, its local cultivation service provider, and counterparties supporting product registration and market access in overseas jurisdictions. Disruption, termination or deterioration of these relationships (or renegotiation on less favourable terms) may reduce product availability, increase costs, restrict access to distribution channels and adversely affect sales volumes, which could materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's business and financial performance.
(f) Key inputs
The Combined Group's business is dependent on a number of key inputs, such as electricity, water and other utilities, as well as cultivation materials and inputs, equipment, parts and components related to on-going operations. Any significant interruption, price increase or negative change in the availability or economics of the supply chain for key inputs and, in particular, rising or volatile energy costs could curtail production. In addition, operations would be significantly affected by a prolonged power outage. The Combined Group's ability to compete and cultivate cannabis is also dependent on it having access, at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner, to inputs, materials, equipment, parts and components. No assurances can be given that LGP will be successful in maintaining its equipment, facilities and supply chain.
Any significant interruption or negative changes in the availability or economics of the supply chain for the inputs could materially impact the business, financial condition and operating result of the Combined Group.
Page 34
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
(g) Agricultural and force majeure risks
The Combined Group's operations are exposed to agricultural risks and force majeure events, including adverse weather, pests and disease, crop failure, contamination, supply chain disruption, equipment failure, fire, power outages, industrial action, pandemics including COVID or similar pathogens, and other unforeseen events beyond the Combined Group's control. These events could disrupt cultivation, manufacturing or distribution, reduce yields or product quality, increase costs and adversely affect the Combined Group's ability to meet demand, which could materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's financial performance and prospects.
(h) Expansion and scaling risks
The Combined Group's strategy includes expanding sales and distribution in European and other international markets. Entry into certain markets depends on regulatory approval processes, which may involve extended lead times and uncertainty, and that market-specific regulatory frameworks and political uncertainty may affect the timing and scope of commercial rollout in certain jurisdictions (including France, Poland, Italy and Spain).
There is a risk that the Combined Group may be unable to enter, expand or maintain access to target markets, or that demand, pricing conditions or competitive dynamics may not develop as expected. Shipment timing and third-party testing and release processes may delay receipts from customers, which may affect cash flow timing and working capital.
Any failure to successfully execute the Combined Group's international expansion and scaling strategy may materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's operations, financial performance and prospects.
(i) Dislocation from rapid business growth or acquisitions
There is a risk that the Combined Group grows too rapidly due to organise or acquisitional growth, leading to increased inhouse systems failure, occupational health & safety risk, recruitment and employment retention concerns, and team culture degradation risk. Any failure to successfully execute the Combined Group's acquisition or growth strategy may materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's operations, financial performance and prospects.
(j) War or international conflict
There is an ongoing risk of further war in Ukraine, wider Europe or Middle East, leading to increased input prices or market disruption including risk of inflation or hyperinflation in EU resulting in wage and input pressure, reduced consumption due to rising prices. There is a risk that war in Europe or Middle East could materially and adversely affected the Combined Group's operations, and financial performance.
(k) Export and import and first-mover risk
The Combined Group and its supply chain partners are also subject to a variety of complex and often unsettled or inadequate, uncertain or incomplete laws, regulations, and guidelines, authorisations and pharmaceutical quality requirements in both Australia and the other countries that may be subject to differing interpretation or application, including the proposed new medicinal cannabis ‘ad hoc’ supply pathway into France.
In addition, many of the processes and requirements for the successful export and import of a medicinal cannabis product or cannabis starting material in one or more forms into France will
Page 35
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
be applied and implemented for the first time, including in relation to flower and product sampling requirements, flower and product testing and analytical requirements, labelling, origin and source verification, pharmacovigilance, product stability testing processes and requirements, classification and form of product requirements, ingredient and product specification limit requirements and permitted deviations for different products, product packaging and transportation requirements, the application of relevant pharmaceutical quality requirements, the application of International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) guidelines, the application of Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PICs) requirements, and the application of local laws, judicial decisions and requirements of France including specific requirements in relation to cannabis products.
Non-compliance risk may be exacerbated for first movers who may be unaware of these or be unable to comply with conflicting or evolving interpretations or laws, and the Combined Group cannot guarantee its pharmaceutical and compliance management systems will be adequate to understand all cannabis regulations or prevent or discover breaches of laws and regulations and to identify, evaluate and take appropriate countermeasures against relevant risks in a timely manner or at all.
One or more of these factors may result in delays or rejection of imports or export quantities or result in the Combined Group being unable to import from or export to the relevant jurisdictions which could result in significant loss or damage to the Combined Group.
(l) Contractual risks
The Combined Group will rely on a range of commercial contracts with suppliers, cultivation and contract manufacturing counterparties, product suppliers, wholesalers, distributors, logistics providers, pharmacies, prescribers, clinics and research partners, and international wholesalers and distribution partners. The Combined Group will also be party to a licence and arrangements for the cultivation of products under its medicinal cannabis licences from its Western Australian facility.
As announced to ASX on 19 February 2026, LGP has entered into a binding but conditional agreement for the sale and leaseback of its production processing facility in Western Australia. Completion of that transaction remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of multiple conditions precedent, many of which are outside LGP's control and some of which require further negotiation over commercial matters with third parties that may not be resolved and if so, may result in termination of the sale. If the proposed sale completes, LGP is expected to continue to utilise the facility for approximately 3.5 years under a lease arrangement. In that event, the Combined Group would be reliant on contractual arrangements for continued access to, and use of, that facility. There is a risk that the proposed transaction may not complete on the anticipated terms, that the lease arrangement may not operate as expected, may be terminated, not renewed or varied on less favourable terms, or that disputes may arise with the purchaser/landlord. Any such event could disrupt manufacturing and processing activities, reduce operational flexibility, increase costs or otherwise adversely affect the Combined Group’s operations, financial performance and prospects.
More broadly, there is also a risk that counterparties may fail to perform, go bankrupt or insolvent, that contracts may be terminated or amended on materially adverse terms, not renewed or renegotiated on less favourable terms, or disputes may arise, which could disrupt supply, delay distribution, reduce revenue or increase costs. The Combined Group is also subject to certain minimum purchase commitments to maintain exclusivity of supply of certain inputs or products which if the Combined Group fail to achieve or purchase, may result in the Combined Group losing exclusivity over such input or product. Any material contractual dispute, breach,
Page 36
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
termination or adverse renegotiation could materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's operations, financial performance and prospects.
The Combined Group will be party to, or negotiating, various distribution arrangements for the resale and distribution of its products into various territories with distributors. If these distributors cease to be able to meet their commitments and obligations to the Combined Group, including due to bankruptcy or insolvency, inability to obtain import or irradiation permits the Combined Group's products, loss of key licences, unwillingness to accept the Combined Group's products following facility audits, loss of certifications or permits or due to any other reason, this could have a material adverse effect on the Combined Group's business, financial condition, and prospects. In addition, the Combined Group or its distributors or any downstream handlers of the Combined Group's products (including transporters, other wholesalers and pharmacies) may handle or alter the products in a way that damages, impairs or contaminates the Combined Group's products or otherwise causes loss or damage to third parties, including patients. These third parties may claim directly against the Combined Group for such loss or damage and the Combined Group may not be able to recover such losses from its distributor counterparties or suffer reputational loss or damage, or both. In addition, the Company’s shipping or handling agents could fail to deliver or be delayed from delivering shipments on time or at all, resulting in breach claims for failure to deliver by purchasers or distributors. Such outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and prospects.
Additionally, compliance by LGP’s counterparties with applicable laws and regulatory requirements in Australia (and other relevant jurisdictions), and with the terms of LGP’s licences and permits, is an important factor in maintaining the validity of those licences and permits. Non-compliance with such laws, regulatory requirements or licence and permit conditions could result in suspension or revocation of LGP’s licences and permits, and may expose LGP to fines, penalties or other regulatory action. LGP is enhancing a number of its contractual arrangements to strengthen oversight of counterparty regulatory compliance and to reduce the potential risks such non-compliance could pose to LGP’s licences, permits and operations going forward.
(m) Intellectual property
The Combined Group has developed and will continue to develop intellectual property and has developed and will continue to develop its own know-how and proprietary knowledge and rely on a combination of confidentiality and licence agreements to protect this know-how and intellectual property rights. However, various events outside of LGP’s control could pose a threat to its intellectual property rights, as well as to its products.
There is also a risk that other individuals or companies may claim to have an interest in intellectual property used by the business. Intellectual property or trade secrets may be challenged by other parties and defending such actions may adversely impact the Combined Group's earnings.
The Combined Group may be unable to register or otherwise protect new intellectual property it develops in the future, or which is developed on behalf by contractors. In addition, competitors may be able to work around any of the intellectual property rights or know-how used by the Combined Group, or independently develop technologies or delivery systems that are not protected by the Combined Group's intellectual property rights. The Combined Group's competitors may then be able to offer identical or very similar products that are otherwise
Page 37
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
competitive against those provided by the Combined Group, which could adversely affect the Combined Group's business.
The Combined Group may not own certain intellectual property used in the business and relies on licences from third parties to access and use that intellectual property. If any licence is terminated, not renewed, or amended on adverse terms, or if a licensor fails to perform its obligations, LGP may lose access to this intellectual property, which could materially adversely affect its business.
(n) Reliance on key personnel
The Combined Group will be largely dependent on the performance of its management team and certain highly qualified employees and the Combined Group's continuing ability to attract and retain such employees.
the Combined Group is also dependent on its ability to recruit and retain suitably qualified personnel. Qualified individuals are in high demand, and the Combined Group may incur significant costs to attract and retain them. The loss of the services of any such personnel, or an inability to attract other suitably qualified persons when needed, could prevent the Combined Group from executing on the business plan and strategy, and the Combined Group may be unable to find adequate replacements on a timely basis, or at all.
The unplanned loss of the services of any of the Combined Group's Directors or members of senior management could materially adversely affect the business until a suitable successor can be found. Moreover, finding a suitable successor may be made more difficult by the regulatory requirement that Directors must satisfy the “fit and proper persons” test under the Narcotic Drugs Act 1967 . In addition, a number of the Combined Group's highly qualified personnel may not be readily substituted through the hiring of external personnel, and the loss of any of key personnel could also have a material adverse effect on the business unless and until the Combined Group finds a qualified successor. There are also a limited number of persons with the requisite competencies to serve in these positions, and the Combined Group cannot provide any assurance that the Combined Group would be able to locate or employ such highly qualified personnel in a timely manner, on terms acceptable to the Combined Group or at all. The inability to attract and retain key and other highly qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
(o) Product testing and trials
The Combined Group's products are subject to strict quality assurance and regulatory requirements, including testing and batch release processes for supply into domestic and international markets. There is a risk that testing outcomes may not meet required specifications, that batches may be delayed, quarantined or rejected, or that product release may be disrupted due to contamination, non-conforming results or delays at third-party laboratories. Any material testing, release or quality issue could disrupt supply, increase costs, lead to product recalls or regulatory action, and materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's operations, financial performance and reputation.
(p) Risks associated with clinical trials
LGP supports clinical research and evidence generation in relation to medicinal cannabis products and, through its subsidiary Reset Mind Sciences, participates in research and clinical trial activities. Clinical research and clinical trials are inherently uncertain and may be delayed, suspended or discontinued due to recruitment challenges, adverse events, regulatory or
Page 38
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
ethics requirements, funding constraints, or failure to achieve intended clinical endpoints or demonstrate safety or efficacy. Unfavourable outcomes could result in increased costs, reputational harm, and materially and adversely affect LGP’s prospects and financial performance.
(q) Product liability and uninsured risks
There is a risk that the products sold by the Combined Group may not have been produced or manufactured in accordance with all applicable laws or pharmaceutical requirements or could cause serious or unexpected side effects, including risk or injury to consumers in both the short term and the longer term, including the risk of developing schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder and other psychoses and side effects. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from consumption of cannabis products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could also occur.
Although the Combined Group will have procedures in place for testing finished cannabis products, there can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits. Should any of the Combined Group's products be associated with safety risks such as misuse or abuse, inadvertent mislabelling, tampering by unauthorised third parties or product contamination or spoilage, a number of materially adverse outcomes could impact on the Combined Group.
Any of the above adverse outcomes include the risk that regulatory authorities may revoke approvals that have been granted to the Combined Group, impose more onerous facility standards or product labelling requirements or force the Combined Group to conduct a product recall. The Combined Group could also be subject to regulatory action or be sued and held liable for any harm caused to customers in those circumstances.
A product liability claim or regulatory action against the Combined Group could result in increased costs and could adversely affect its reputation and goodwill with the Combined Group's patients, distributors and consumers generally. There can be no assurance that the Combined Group will be able to maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could result in the Combined Group becoming subject to significant liabilities that are uninsured and also could adversely affect commercial arrangements with third parties. There is also a risk that the insurer could disclaim coverage on some claims or the insurance is not comprehensive enough for large claims or that insurers could reduce or cease coverage for medicinal cannabis products more generally.
(r) Reputational risk
Reputational damage could negatively affect demand for the Combined Group's products and services. Reputation could also impact on relationships with suppliers, pharmacies, prescribers, clinics and other distribution partners and could reduce trust among investors. The Combined Group's reputation may be adversely affected by a range of factors, including product quality or recall issues, regulatory investigations or enforcement action, security incidents, data breaches, or adverse media coverage relating to the medicinal cannabis industry or controlled substances generally. Any such reputational damage could materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's operations, financial performance and prospects.
Page 39
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
(s) Access to capital
the Combined Group will rely on access to debt and equity financing from time to time. The ability to secure financing, or financing on acceptable terms, may be materially adversely affected by factors outside the Combined Group's control, including prevailing macroeconomic and capital market conditions and credit availability. Financing may be unavailable, or the cost of financing may significantly increase. Any inability to obtain additional funding on acceptable terms, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on the Combined Group's financial position and operations. If additional funding is raised through the issue of additional the Combined Group securities, the investment of shareholders of the Combined Group who do not participate may be materially diluted.
(t) Marketing and Distribution Risk
the Combined Group's financial performance depends on its ability to effectively market and distribute its products through pharmacy, wholesale, clinical and international distribution channels. the Combined Group may be exposed to risks relating to channel concentration, distributor performance, changes in clinic or pharmacy prescribing behaviour, and the ability to secure and maintain distribution arrangements in domestic and international markets.
the Combined Group is also subject to restrictions on how medicinal cannabis products can be promoted and marketed, and failure to comply with applicable advertising and promotion laws could result in regulatory action or reputational harm. If the Combined Group is unable to effectively market or distribute its products, or distribution channels are disrupted or become less effective, the Combined Group's sales volumes, pricing and margins may be adversely affected, which could materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's business, financial performance and prospects.
(u) Fraud and Security Risk
the Combined Group may be exposed to fraud, theft, diversion or other misconduct by employees, contractors or third parties, and, as a regulated operator handling controlled substances, must maintain effective physical security and inventory controls. Any fraud or security incident could result in financial loss, operational disruption, regulatory consequences and reputational harm, which could materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's business, financial performance and prospects.
(v) Research and development
the Combined Group undertakes research and development activities, predominantly relating to the supply of products for clinical studies. R&D activities are inherently uncertain and may involve delays, cost overruns, technical challenges or failure to achieve intended outcomes. Any failure to successfully execute R&D initiatives or commercialise outcomes could result in wasted expenditure, lost opportunities and reduced competitiveness, which could materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's business, financial performance and prospects.
(w) Systems, privacy and IP breach risk
The Combined Group relies on IT systems and third-party service providers to support operations, reporting, inventory management, distribution and compliance. The Combined Group may be exposed to system failures, cyber incidents, unauthorised access, data breaches or privacy incidents, including in relation to confidential business information or personal information. The Combined Group may also be exposed to risks associated with misuse,
Page 40
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
infringement or loss of intellectual property rights. Any such incident could result in operational disruption, regulatory action, increased costs, loss of competitive advantage and reputational harm, which could materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's business, financial performance and prospects.
(x) Regulation and litigation
The Combined Group may be the subject of complaints or litigation by customers, suppliers, employees, government agencies or other third parties. Such matters may have an adverse effect on the Combined Group’s reputation, divert its financial and management resources from more beneficial uses, or have a material adverse effect on its future financial performance.
Since November 2023, Cannatrek has received three notices from the Therapeutic Goods Administration ( TGA ) issued under section 45AB of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (Cth) ( TG Act ), most recently in June 2025. These notices, together with ongoing correspondence with the TGA, relate to an investigation into potential contraventions of the therapeutic goods advertising provisions, primarily concerning historic social media materials published during 2023–2024. Cannatrek has fully responded to the notices and has taken steps to remove or amend relevant materials in an effort to ensure compliance.
As at the date of this Notice, the TGA has not made any findings against Cannatrek, nor commenced proceedings in relation to these matters. However, the investigation remains ongoing. While the quantum of any potential penalties cannot presently be determined, enforcement action by the TGA (if any) could result in infringement notices or civil proceedings, which may involve material financial penalties and associated costs and could adversely affect Cannatrek’s financial position and value.
Historically the TGA has sought monetary penalties for advertising offences, either by issuing infringement notices or bringing civil proceedings. Cannatrek is not aware of any past examples of the TGA taking action to revoke regulatory licences or approvals in relation to advertising offences under the TG Act.
Cannatrek has previously been subject to infringement notices issued by the TGA in relation to advertising conduct. Shareholders should consider this history, together with the ongoing investigation, when assessing the risks associated with the Transaction.
Further information regarding the TGA investigation and associated regulatory risks is set out in the Scheme Booklet, which LGP shareholders are encouraged to read in full.
(y) Economic risks
The Combined Group's financial performance and the value of shares in the Combined Group (and, if the Scheme is implemented, the value of the New LGP Shares) may fluctuate due to a number of factors. These factors may include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions including interest rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, investor sentiment, Australian and international economic conditions and outlook, geopolitical instability, changes in legislation or regulation, and the nature of the markets in which the Combined Group operates.
(z) Pricing risks
The Combined Group operates in a competitive and evolving medicinal cannabis market. Competitive dynamics, including increased product availability, entry of new domestic and international suppliers, changes in prescribing behaviour and patient preferences, and the
Page 41
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
actions of competitors (including discounting), may create pricing pressure. The Combined Group may be required to reduce prices, increase rebates or discounting, or incur higher costs in order to maintain market share, which could reduce margins and profitability.
The Combined Group also sources certain products and inputs from third-party suppliers. If supplier pricing increases, the Combined Group may not be able to fully pass those increases on to customers due to competitive pressure, prescriber and patient preferences, and broader market conditions. Sustained pricing pressure or margin compression could materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's financial performance.
(aa) Foreign Exchange Risk
The Combined Group may have exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates, including as a result of sourcing medicinal cannabis products and inputs from overseas suppliers and making payments denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in exchange rates may affect the Combined Group's cost of goods sold, operating margins, financial position and cash flows. the Combined Group may not be able to effectively manage this foreign currency exposure, and may not be able to hedge against all foreign exchange risks. Adverse movements in foreign exchange rates could materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's financial performance.
(bb) Risks faced by LGP or Cannatrek prior to implementation
The business and operations of LGP and Cannatrek may be adversely affected by, among other factors, economic downturns, political instability, changes in applicable laws, volatility in the financial markets and unfavourable regulatory decisions. Any one or more of these factors, among other things, could negatively affect the operations and financial performance of LGP or Cannatrek, which could in turn adversely affect the future operational and financial results of the Combined Group.
(cc) Integration risk
The success of the Combined Group will depend, amongst other things, on the ability to integrate the respective businesses of LGP and Cannatrek. Successful integration will depend on a range of factors, including organisational and cultural compatibility and operational integration. While LGP expects to successfully integrate with Cannatrek’s operations, integration may take longer than expected (so that integration is achieved over a longer than expected time period), or that integration may cost more than anticipated. Potential factors influencing a successful integration include:
-
(i) disruption to the ongoing operations of both businesses;
-
(ii) higher than anticipated integration costs;
-
(iii) unforeseen costs relating to integration of operational systems, IT systems and financial and accounting systems of both businesses; and
-
(iv) unintended loss of key personnel or expert knowledge or reduced employee productivity due to uncertainty arising as a result of the Scheme.
If the integration is not achieved in an effective manner, the full benefits of the combination of the businesses may be achieved only in part, or not at all. This could adversely impact the
Page 42
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
Combined Group’s financial performance and position, and the future prospects of the Combined Group.
(dd) Transaction costs
Prior to the Scheme Meeting, transaction costs will have been incurred, or will be committed, by LGP in relation to the Scheme. Those transaction costs have either already been paid or will be payable by LGP regardless of whether or not the Scheme is implemented. If the Scheme does proceed, additional costs will be incurred.
If the Scheme is implemented, LGP expects to pay an aggregate of approximately $1,000,000 (excluding GST) in transaction costs in connection with the Scheme. These transaction costs are primarily payable to LGP's financial, legal, tax, broker and accounting advisors and the LGP Share Registry.
If the Scheme is not implemented, LGP’s transactions costs (other than costs only payable on successful completion of the Transaction) will be borne by LGP alone, subject to any Cannatrek Break Fee that is able to be recovered from Cannatrek.
6. Resolution 1 – Approval to issue Consideration Securities
6.1 General
A summary of the background to the Merger and the proposed issue of the Consideration Securities is set out in Section 4.1 above.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholders approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to issue up to 713,597,312 Consideration Securities, comprising:
-
(a) 511,068,631 New LGP Shares (on the basis of 1.835806 New LGP Shares for every Cannatrek share held on the record date for the Scheme); and
-
(b) 202,528,681 New LGP CV Shares (on the basis of 0.727502 New LGP CV Shares for every Cannatrek share held on the record date for the Scheme).
6.2 Summary of the material terms of the SID
A summary of the material terms and conditions of the SID is set out in Section 4.3 above.
6.3 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of the Consideration Securities does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The Company therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under listing Rule 7.1.
Page 43
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1 will additionally be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Securities to the Cannatrek Shareholders (or their respective nominees). As a result, the Company will be able to implement the Merger because the Company will have satisfied the condition to approve the issue of the Consideration Securities.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Securities to the Cannatrek Shareholders (or their respective nominees). As a result, the Company will not be able to implement the Merger because the Company will not have satisfied the condition to approve the issue of the Consideration Securities.
6.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the of the issue of Consideration Securities:
-
(a) The Consideration Securities will be issued to the Scheme Shareholders (or their respective nominees), none of whom are a related party or Material Investor.
-
(b) A maximum of 713,597,312 Consideration Securities will be issued, comprising:
-
(i) up to 511,068,631 New LGP Shares; and
-
(ii) up to 202,528,681 New LGP CV Shares.
-
(c) The Consideration Securities will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.
-
(d) The Consideration Securities will be issued for nil cash consideration, as consideration for the Merger.
-

-
(g) A summary of the material terms of the SID is in Section 4.3 above.

6.5 Additional information

Page 44
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
7. Resolution 2(a) and (b) – Approval of Termination Benefits to Executives
7.1 Background
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the giving of termination benefits to:
-
(a) Angus Caithness (the subject of Resolution 2(a)); and
-
(b) Fleta Solomon (the subject of Resolution 2(b)),
(together, the Executives ).
Mr Caithness was appointed as a Director on 19 February 2018 and is intended to resign as an Executive shortly, and as a Director entirely on completion of the Merger. Ms Solomon was appointed as a Director on 29 May 2017 and is intended to resign on completion of the Merger.
The termination benefits arise in connection with the cessation of each Executive’s employment with the Company or a related body corporate and relate to the proposed accelerated vesting of equity incentives and contributions to the exercise price of options granted under the Company’s employee incentive plan ( Plan ).
Under the Plan, the Board has discretion to determine that some or all unvested equity incentives granted to a participant will not lapse on cessation of employment and may vest on an accelerated basis, including where the participant is determined to be a good leaver (as defined in the Plan). Subject to receiving the relevant Shareholder approvals pursuant to this Resolution 2(a) and (b), the Board will exercise its discretion under the Plan to accelerate the vesting of the Plan Securities detailed in this Section ( Executive Plan Securities ) on the basis that each Executive is a “good leaver” under the Plan. The accelerated vesting of the Plan Securities will allow the Executives to convert the Plan Securities into Shares regardless of whether the relevant performance milestone was satisfied. Similarly, the accelerated vesting of the Option Exercise Incentive will allow the Executives to obtain the benefit of the Option Exercise Incentive without satisfying the vesting condition. The exercise of this discretion may constitute the giving of a “benefit” in connection with the cessation of a managerial or executive office for the purposes of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act.
Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought:
-
(a) under sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act in connection with providing the following termination benefits; and
-
(b) pursuant to Listing Rule 6.23.4 to approve the amendments to the terms and conditions of the Plan Securities:

Accelerated vesting of the relevant Option Exercise Incentive |

As at the date of this Notice, the applicable vesting conditions for the Performance Rights above have not been satisfied and the Option Exercise Incentive is not yet exercisable.
As set out above, some of the Performance Rights have not been satisfied during the relevant vesting period and but for the exercise of the “good leaver” discretion, would not be capable of vesting based on satisfaction of the vesting condition.
Under the terms of the Plan, the Board has discretion, where a participant is determined to be a “good leaver”, to permit some or all unvested equity incentives to vest notwithstanding that the original vesting conditions have not been satisfied in the ordinary course of business. The Board has exercised this discretion in respect of the Executives, having determined each to be a “good leaver” in the context of the Merger. Accordingly, the effect of the accelerated vesting is to bring forward the vesting of the Executive Plan Securities in accordance with the Plan terms, such that the Executives become entitled to Shares (on vesting of the Performance Rights and, where applicable, upon vesting of the Option Exercise Incentive and subsequent exercise of the Options), representing the operation of the Board’s existing discretions rather than the introduction of new benefits.
7.2 Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act
Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act restricts the giving of benefits to a person in connection with their cessation of holding a managerial or executive office unless an exemption applies or Shareholder approval is obtained.
Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, the Company may only give a termination benefit to an Executive if the benefit is approved by Shareholders in accordance with section 200E.
The term “benefit” is defined broadly and includes non-cash benefits, and may include benefits arising from the exercise of discretions under an employee incentive plan, such as accelerated vesting of equity incentives or contributions to option exercise prices.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 2(a) and (b), the Company will be permitted to give the termination benefits described in this Explanatory Memorandum, and those benefits will not be required to be taken into account when applying the statutory caps in sections 200F and 200G of the Corporations Act.
If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 2(a) or (b), the Company will not be permitted to give the termination benefits described in this Explanatory Memorandum to the extent that the benefits exceed the statutory caps in sections 200F and 200G of the Corporations Act. Similarly, if Shareholders do not approve Resolution 2(a) or (b), the Transaction Resolution will not take effect and the Transaction will not be completed.
Page 47
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
7.3 Value of termination benefits
The value of the termination benefits of the kind described above, cannot presently be ascertained as it will depend on a number of factors. Matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to, affect the value are:
-
(a) the Company’s share price at the time the relevant equity incentives vest or are exercised;
-
(b) the number of equity incentives that vest or become exercisable;
-
(c) the extent to which vesting conditions have been satisfied or waived;
-
(d) the timing of vesting or exercise;
-
(e) any relevant terms in the Executives’ employment agreements;
-
(f) the Executives’ length of service with the Company and the portion of any relevant performance or vesting periods that have expired at the time they cease employment with the Company;
-
(g) any other factors that the Board determines to be relevant when exercising a discretion (such as its assessment of the individual’s performance up to the time of cessation of the Executive’s employment with the Company); and
-
(h) any changes in laws, regulations or market practice between the date of this Notice and the time that the relevant Executive ceases employment with the Company.
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.19, the Company will ensure that no officer of the Company or any of its child entities will, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the terminations benefits that are or may be payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the Company as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.
7.4 Listing Rule 6.23.3 and 6.23.4
Shareholder approval is being sought to approve the amendments to the terms and conditions of the Executive Plan Securities set out in Section 7.1 in accordance with Listing Rule 6.23.4. Listing Rule 6.23.4 provides that a change to the terms of options (including performance and share retention rights), which is not prohibited under Listing Rule 6.23.3, can only be made if Shareholders approve the change. Listing Rule 6.23.3 prohibits a change to the terms of options which has the effect of reducing the exercise price, increasing the period for exercise or increasing the number of securities on exercise. Accordingly, Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 6.23.4 is being sought to approve the changes to the Executive Plan Securities contemplated by this Resolution 2(a) and (b).
7.5 Additional information
Resolution 2(a) and (b) are each a separate ordinary resolution.
The Board recommends (with Angus Caithness and Fleta Solomon abstaining) that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2(a) and (b).
Page 48
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
8. Resolution 3 – Approval of Termination Benefits to NonExecutive Director
8.1 Background
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the giving of termination benefits to Dr Neale Fong pursuant Resolution 3 (the Non-Executive ).
Dr Fong was appointed as a Director on 13 November 2018 and is intended to resign on completion of the Merger.
The termination benefits arise in connection with the cessation of the Non-Executive’s employment with the Company or a related body corporate and relate to the proposed accelerated vesting of equity incentives granted under the Plan.
Under the Plan, the Board has discretion to determine that some or all unvested equity incentives granted to a participant will not lapse on cessation of employment and may vest on an accelerated basis, including where the participant is determined to be a good leaver (as defined in the Plan). Subject to receiving the relevant Shareholder approvals pursuant to this Resolution 3, the Board will exercise its discretion under the Plan to accelerate the vesting of the Plan Securities detailed in this Section ( NED Plan Securities ) on the basis that the Non-Executive has been determined a “good leaver” under the Plan. The accelerated vesting will allow Dr Fong to convert the Retention Share Rights into Shares without satisfying the performance milestone. The exercise of this discretion may constitute the giving of a “benefit” in connection with the cessation of a managerial or executive office for the purposes of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act.
Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought:
-
(a) under sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act in connection with providing the following termination benefit; and
-
(b) pursuant to Listing Rule 6.23.4 to approve the amendments to the terms and conditions of the Plan Securities:
| Plan Securities | Number of Securities |
Performance Milestone and Vesting Period |
Description of benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dr Neale Fong (Resolution 3) | |||
| Retention Share Rights vesting on 31/03/2027 |
150,000 | The Non-executive Director’s continuous employment within the Company at 31 March 2027 |
Accelerated vesting of share retention rights. |
As at the date of this Notice, the applicable vesting condition for the Retention Share Rights has not been satisfied and will not be capable of satisfaction if the Merger completes, as Dr Fong is expected to resign of completion of the Merger. Under the terms of the Plan, the Board has discretion, where a participant is determined to be a “good leaver”, to permit some or all unvested equity incentives to vest
Page 49
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
notwithstanding that the original vesting conditions have not been satisfied in the ordinary course. The Board will exercise this discretion in respect of the Non-Executive, having determined him to be a “good leaver” in the context of the Merger. Accordingly, the effect of the accelerated vesting is to bring forward the vesting of the NED Plan Securities in accordance with the Plan terms, such that the Non-Executive becomes entitled to Shares (on vesting of the Retention Share Rights), representing the operation of the Board’s existing discretions rather than the introduction of new benefits.
8.2 Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act
Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act restricts the giving of benefits to a person in connection with their cessation of holding a managerial or executive office unless an exemption applies or Shareholder approval is obtained.
Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, the Company may only give a termination benefit to a NonExecutive if the benefit is approved by Shareholders in accordance with section 200E.
The term “benefit” is defined broadly and includes non-cash benefits, and may include benefits arising from the exercise of discretions under an employee incentive plan, such as accelerated vesting of equity incentives.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 3 the Company will be permitted to give the termination benefits described in this Explanatory Memorandum, and those benefits will not be required to be taken into account when applying the statutory caps in sections 200F and 200G of the Corporations Act.
If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 3, the Company will not be permitted to give the termination benefits described in this Explanatory Memorandum to the extent that the benefits exceed the statutory caps in sections 200F and 200G of the Corporations Act. Similarly, if Shareholders do not approve Resolution 3, the Transaction Resolution will not take effect and the Transaction will not be completed.
8.3 Value of termination benefits
The value of the termination benefit of the kind described above, cannot presently be ascertained as it will depend on a number of factors. Matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to, affect the value are:
-
(a) the Company’s share price at the time the relevant equity incentives vest or are exercised;
-
(b) the number of equity incentives that vest or become exercisable;
-
(c) the extent to which vesting conditions have been satisfied or waived;
-
(d) the timing of vesting or exercise;
-
(e) the Non-Executive’s length of service with the Company and the portion of any relevant performance or vesting periods that have expired at the time they cease to be employed by the Company;
-
(f) any other factors that the Board determines to be relevant when exercising a discretion (such as its assessment of the individual’s performance up to the time of cessation of the Executive’s employment with the Company); and
-
(g) any changes in laws, regulations or market practice between the date of this Notice and the time that the Non-Executive ceases to be a Director of the Company.
Page 50
==> picture [80 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.19, the Company will ensure that no officer of the Company or any of its child entities will, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the terminations benefits that are or may be payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the Company as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.
8.4 Listing Rule 6.23.3 and 6.23.4
Shareholder approval is being sought to approve the amendments to the terms and conditions of the NED Plan Securities set out in Section 8.1 in accordance with Listing Rule 6.23.4. Listing Rule 6.23.4 provides that a change to the terms of options (including share retention rights), which is not prohibited under Listing Rule 6.23.3, can only be made if Shareholders approve the change. Listing Rule 6.23.3 prohibits a change to the terms of options which has the effect of reducing the exercise price, increasing the period for exercise or increasing the number of securities on exercise. Accordingly, Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 6.23.4 is being sought to approve the changes to the NED Plan Securities contemplated by this Resolution 3..
8.5 Additional information
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board recommends (with Dr Neale Fong abstaining) that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
