The Notice of Annual General Meeting should be read together with this Explanatory Memorandum.

BUSINESS

- RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT (NON BINDING)

Background

As required by section 317 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the Financial Report, Directors' Report and the Auditor's Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 will be laid before the Annual General Meeting. The Remuneration Report is included in the Directors’ Report contained in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report at pages 15 to 19 inclusive.

Shareholders may access the Company’s 2022 Annual Report by visiting the Company’s website (www.secosgroup.com.au) or may order a hard copy of the 2022 Annual Report by emailing the Company Secretary at [email protected].

The Remuneration Report:

  • (a) explains the Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of executive Directors and senior management of the Company;

  • (b) explains the relationship between the Board’s remuneration policy and the Company’s performance;

  • (c) sets out remuneration details for each Director and the most highly remunerated senior management of the Company; and

  • (d) details and explains any performance conditions applicable to the remuneration of executive Directors and senior management of the Company.

Pursuant to section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), at the Annual General Meeting, the Company must propose a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted.

The purpose of Resolution 1 is to seek Shareholder approval to adopt the Remuneration Report.

Section 250R (3) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) provides that Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company.

However, under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a ’no’ vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to shareholders at the second annual general meeting a further resolution (the ‘spill resolution”) on whether another meeting (known as a ‘spill meeting’) should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the Executive Director and any directors appointed since the applicable Directors’ Report was approved by the Board) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors’ Report must stand for re-election.

If the spill resolution is approved at the annual general meeting by a simple majority of 50% or more of the eligible votes cast, the spill meeting must be held within 90 days of that second annual general meeting to consider the composition of the Board.

2022 SECOS Notice of Meeting

Page 9 of 26

  • (a) Key Management Personnel of the Company and its subsidiaries are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries either directly or indirectly.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

RESOLUTION 4: APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO MR STEPHEN WALTERS UNDER THE EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company has agreed to issue 87,189 performance rights (“ Performance Rights ”) to Mr Stephen Walters, a Director of the Company, pursuant to the SECOS Group Limited Employee Incentive Plan (“ Plan ”), as approved by shareholders at the 2020 AGM. The agreement to issue Performance Rights to Mr Walters was made conditional upon the Company obtaining the approval of Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

These Performance Rights are intended to provide a long-term incentive and align Mr Walters’ interests with those of the Shareholders, in seeking to maximize the value of the Company.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval of the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Walters.

Regulatory Considerations

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company must not permit a Director to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without the prior approval of holders of ordinary securities. Once approval is obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14, the Company is entitled to rely on Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 8 as an exception to any requirement that may otherwise apply requiring Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.

Subject to determination by the Board, each Director is entitled to participate in the Employee Incentive Plan. The Board has determined that Mr Walters will be granted, subject to Shareholder approval and the terms of the Plan, 87,189 Performance Rights.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit (which includes the grant of Performance Rights) to a related party (which includes a director and former director) of the Company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act; or

  • (b) prior Shareholder approval is obtained for the giving of the financial benefit in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and the benefit is given to the related party within 15 months following such approval.

Directors are considered to be related parties within the meaning of the Corporations Act.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, Mr Stephen Walters is a related party of the Company, and the grant of Performance Rights to Mr Walters (on an unconditional basis) will constitute the giving of a financial benefit, however, there are no significant opportunity costs to the Company, taxation consequences, or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Performance Rights upon the terms proposed.

Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15

ASX Listing Rule 10.15 requires that certain information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. This information is as follows:

Approval is sought for the grant of the following Performance Rights as contained in the table below.

  • (g) Mr Walters is the only Director for whom Performance Rights are proposed. If the Performance Rights proposed to be issued unconditionally to Mr Walters vest, which are the subject of Resolution 4, the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by approximately 0.02% (based on the number of Shares currently on issue);

  • (h) Mr Walters’ current remuneration package, before taking into account the proposed grant of the Performance Rights is $209,950 as detailed above. The Board has not made any further decision on the future remuneration package of Mr Walters;

  • (i) the primary purpose of the grant of the Performance Rights to Mr Walters is to form part of his remuneration package. Given this purpose, the Directors do not consider that there is any opportunity cost or benefit foregone to the Company in granting the Performance Rights proposed by Resolution 4;

  • (j)

no funds will be raised from the issue of the Performance Rights;

  • (k) Mr Walters has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4, as the recipient of the Performance Rights proposed to be granted on an unconditional basis;

  • (l) Mr Walters does not wish to make a recommendation to Shareholders about Resolution 4 because he has a material personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution;

2022 SECOS Notice of Meeting

Page 16 of 26

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

  • (m) additional information in relation to Resolution 4 is set out throughout this Explanatory Statement. Shareholders should therefore read the Explanatory Statement in its entirety before making a decision on how to vote on Resolution 4;

  • (n) the Company will incur no liabilities or costs in respect of the proposed grant of the Performance Rights to Mr Walters other than:

  • (i) the fees payable to ASX for quotation of the Shares issued as a result of the vesting of the Performance Rights, if and when they are issued to Mr Walters and quoted; and

  • (ii) the cost of the Performance Rights will be expensed through the Company's income statement; and

  • (o) neither the Board nor the Company is aware of any other information that would reasonably be required by Shareholders in order to decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 4, other than as stated in this Explanatory Statement.

Information Required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Stephen Walters under the Plan within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights under the Plan and may need to renegotiate alternative forms of remuneration with the relevant Director, which may require additional funds and have an effect on the Company’s available cash position.

Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 4 is contained in the Notice of Meeting.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Stephen Walters who abstains from making any recommendation in relation to this Resolution, due to a material personal interest in the subject matter of the Resolution) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

RESOLUTION 5: APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT CAPACITY UNDER

ASX LISTING RULE 7.1A

Background

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.

The Company is an eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A as it is not included in the S&P /ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of approximately $54 million as at 19 October 2022.

An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an Equity Security.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: SES).

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 12.2(b) below).

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the period up to 12 months after the Annual General Meeting without a further requirement to obtain the prior approval of Shareholders.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 5, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2. If Resolution 5 is not passed, the issue of the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution at an annual general meeting.

(a) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

2022 SECOS Notice of Meeting

Page 18 of 26

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

(b) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

  • A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of issue or agreement ( Relevant Period ):

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

    • the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

    • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the Relevant Period;

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the Relevant Period.

Note that A has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

D is 10%

2022 SECOS Notice of Meeting

Page 19 of 26

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

  • E is the number of Equity Securities under or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.

Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 535,901,862 ordinary shares and has a

capacity to issue:

  • (a) no further Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 subject to Shareholder approval being obtained; and

  • (b) subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 5, a further 53,590,186 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section above).

10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • (b)

  • the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; or

  • (c) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX (“ 10% Placement Period ”). The Equity Securities will be issued within the 10% Placement Period.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

ASX Listing Rule 7.3A sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting seeking an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The following information is provided for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A:

  • (a) Minimum Issue Price

The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 ASX trading days immediately before:

2022 SECOS Notice of Meeting

Page 20 of 26

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Potential risk of economic and voting dilution

If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The table below also shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares (as at 19 October 2022) and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

The table also shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placement under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price of $0.10 as at 19 October 2022.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • The current issue price is $0.10, being the closing price of the Company’s Shares on the ASX on 19 October 2022.

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • The 10% 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 shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of ordinary shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

2022 SECOS Notice of Meeting

Page 22 of 26

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

(c) Timing of potential issue

The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 5 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

(d)

Purpose of potential issue

The Company seeks to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration and intends to use the funds raised for capital expenditure, inventory and receivables and general operating expenses in the Group.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e) Allocation Policy under 10% Placement Facility

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of the Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • the purpose of the issue;

  • alternative methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial situation and solvency of the Company;

  • the prevailing market conditions; and

  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Meeting but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6 the following information is provided:

  • The Company obtained Shareholder approval for the 10% Placement Capacity at its 2021 Annual General Meeting.

  • The table below shows the total number of Equity Securities issued in the past 12 months preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting and the percentages those issues represent of the total number of Equity Securities on the issue at the commencement of the 12 month period.

(g) Listing Rule 7.1A.4

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility, it must:

  • (i) state in its announcement of the proposed issue under Listing Rule 3.10.3 or in its application for quotation of the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 2.7 that the Equity Securities are being issued under Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (ii) give to ASX immediately after the issue a list of names of the persons to whom the entity issued the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market).

Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting. As at the date of the Notice of Meeting, the Company has not approached any existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

OTHER MATTERS

The Directors are not aware of any other information that:

Please refer to the Meeting ID and Shareholder ID on the proxy form to login to the website. Shareholders may submit questions ahead of the Meeting via the portal.

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS SHAREHOLDER PROXY FORM

CHANGE OF ADDRESS

This form shows your address as it appears on Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes.

APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY

If you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.

DEFAULT TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING

If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chairman of the Meeting.

VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT

You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any resolution by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid.

CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES

If a representative of a nominated corporation is to attend the Meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced prior to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.

SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROXY FORM

Individual:

Where the holding is in one name, the security holder must sign.

Joint Holding:

Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the security holders should sign.

Power of Attorney:

If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with Advanced Share Registry, please attach the original or a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies:

Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.

PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL

LODGE YOUR PROXY FORM

If you wish to appoint a Director (other than the Chairman) or other member of the Company’s key management personnel, or their closely related parties, as your proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Resolutions 1 & 4, by marking the appropriate box. If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for Resolutions 1 & 4.

PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct them how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chairman may vote as they see fit on that resolution.

APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

(a) on each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and

  • (b) return both forms together.
