A representative of HLB Mann Judd will provide answers to the questions at the Meeting.
Item 2 – Resolutions
Resolution 1: Adoption of remuneration report
In accordance with Section 300A(1) of the Corporations Act the Remuneration Report is included in the Directors Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2020.
The Remuneration Report sets out details of the remuneration received by the directors and key Company executives, in addition to describing Board policy in respect of remuneration. Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval of the adoption of the Remuneration Report by the Company.
The outcome of this resolution is not binding on the Company or the Board. However, sections 250U to 250Y of Corporations Act set out a ‘two strikes and re-election’ process in relation to the shareholder vote on the Remuneration Report provide that:
-
A ‘first strike’ occurs where a Remuneration Report resolution receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more. Where this occurs, the Company’s subsequent remuneration report will contain an explanation of the Board’s proposed action in response to the ‘no’ vote or an explanation of why no action has been taken by the Board.
-
A ‘second strike’ will occur if the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report at the following Company Annual General Meeting also receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more. If this occurs, shareholders will vote at that Annual General Meeting to determine whether the Directors will need to stand for re-election at a separate, subsequent meeting (the ‘spill resolution’). If the spill resolution passes with 50% or more of eligible votes cast, the spill meeting must take place within 90 days.
At last year’s Annual General Meeting, a first strike was received against the Company’s remuneration report, with more than 25% of the votes on the resolution to adopt the remuneration report year ended 31 December 2019 being cast against the resolution. The Board believes the Remuneration of the Company’s key management personnel (KMP) is appropriate and in line with market rates.
Members should note that, whilst the vote on this resolution is advisory only, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against Resolution 1, the Company will receive a ‘second strike’. If the Company receives two ‘strikes’, it is required to put a resolution to the meeting to determine whether the Company’s Directors
Page 9 of 27
who were in office at the time the resolution to approve the Directors’ Report for the year ended 31 December 2020 was passed will need to stand for re-election at a further general meeting.
As a result, this Notice of meeting includes a conditional resolution in Resolution 9. The operation and consequences of Resolution 9 are set out below in the Explanatory notes to Resolution 9.
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report. The 2020 Annual Report can be online at www.lifespot-health.com and on the ASX website www.asx.com.au, (ASX Code: LSH).
Resolution 2: Re-election of Mr. Rodney Hannington as a Director
In accordance with Article 104.2 (d) of the Constitution, Mr. Rodney Hannington, a Non-Executive Director of the Company, retires at the close of this Annual General Meeting and, being eligible for re-election offers himself for re-election as a Director.
Rodney graduated from Monash University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing. Rodney has been working in marketing and strategy services in consumer health and fast moving consumer goods in Asia Pacific for over 15 years. He has valuable international experience in Australia, China, Japan, South Korea and South East Asia, Middle East / Africa, Russia and Ukraine markets. Working and consulting with leading Consulting firms in Asia, Mondelez and Novartis and living in Australia, China and Singapore, he has developed extensive experience with a strong network in the health and food industries.

He has led and been a part of several significant company acquisitions and new product launches in China and Australia as a board member, consultant and employee. He has strong interpersonal skills with broad cultural experience dealing with diverse cross-functional teams.
Resolution 2 seeks approval for the re-election of Rodney Hannington as a Director of the Company.
Resolution 3: Approve the previous issue of 4,000,000 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A
Background
On 25 September 2020 the Company issued a total of 24,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.04 per Share to Cannvalate Pty Ltd raising $960,000. Of those Shares, 20,000,000 were issued pursuant to Shareholder approval received under resolution 5 at the Company’s 26 June 2020 Annual General Meeting and 4,000,000 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those 4,000,000 Shares (Ratification).
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Security comprising up to 10% of its issued capital. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 26 June 2020.
The issue of 4,000,000 Shares contemplated by Resolution 3 does not fit within any of the exceptions (to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A) and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.A for the 12 month period
Page 10 of 27
following the issue date (noting that the extra 10% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will expire at the meeting unless re-approved by the Company’s Shareholders under Resolution 8).
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
A note to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 also provides that an issue made in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A can be approved subsequently under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and, if it is, the issue will then be excluded from variable “E” in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (which means that the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is not reduced).
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issued under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the issue of 4,000,000 Shares contemplated by Resolution 3 will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
In the event that Shareholders do not approve Resolution 3, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

Resolution 4(a) and (b) – Approve the previous issue of 13,100,000 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A
On 13 November 2020 the Company issued 13,100,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.055 per Share to M I D Wealth Pty Ltd raising $720,500 (before costs) (Placement). The Shares were issued without the prior approval of Shareholders and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.
Under the Placement:
-
a. 6,315,118 Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 (the subject of Resolution 4(a)); and
-
b. 6,784,882 Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1A (the subject of Resolution 4(b)).
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the previous issue of 13,100,000 Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 and all other purposes.
ASX Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Security comprising up to 10% of its issued capital. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 26 June 2020.
The issue of 13,100,000 Shares referred to in Resolution 4 does not fit within any of the exceptions (to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A) and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the aggregate 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the issue date.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to ratify an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issues did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A). If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A (as applicable) without shareholder approval.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issued under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A (as applicable). To this end, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, the previous issue of 13,100,000 Shares.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the 13,100,000 Shares issued on 13 November 2020 will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
In the event that Shareholders do not approve Resolution 4:
Page 12 of 27
-
the 6,315,118 Shares issued on 13 November 2020 under Listing Rule 7.1 will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval under that rule over the 12 month period following the issue date.
-
the 6,784,882 Shares issued on 13 November 2021 under Listing Rule 7.1A will continue to be included in the Company’s 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 6,784,882, Equity Securities until the expiry of the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:
| The number of securities issued |
13,100,000 Shares. a. 6,315,118 Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1 (the subject of Resolution 4(a)); and b. 6,784,882 Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1A (the subject of Resolution 4(b)). |
|---|---|
| Issue price per security | $0.055 per Share. |
| Terms of security | The Shares issued were fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally with all existing Shares on issue. |

Resolution 5 – Issue of Options to Related Party - Mr. Frank Cannavo
The Company proposes to issue 3,000,000 Options to Frank Cannavo and/or his nominee on the terms and conditions set out below and in consideration for work performed by Frank Cannavo considered by the Company to be above and beyond of the scope of his duties as a Director of the Company.
The issue of options to directors as a form of incentive based remuneration is common practice in listed companies and further encourages and rewards efforts by directors to improve the performance of the Company to the commercial benefit of all Shareholders.
Page 13 of 27
These Options are intended to provide remuneration that is linked to the performance of the Company in the future. The benefit would only be received from the Options upon the Share price exceeding the exercise price of the Options and thereby warranting their exercise. The Options are currently “in-themoney” as the Company’s share price of $0.11 at the date of the Notice of Meeting is higher than the exercise price of the Options.
Under the Company’s current circumstances, the Directors consider that the incentive noted above, represented by the issue of the Options, is a cost effective and efficient reward and incentive to provide, as opposed to the payment of cash compensation only.
The Board believes it is important to offer these Options to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market. In addition, the Options may provide the Company with additional funding (if the Options are exercised).
If Resolution 5 is passed, it will permit the Directors to complete the issue of the Options no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period as allowed by ASX) without impacting on the Company's 15% placement limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. In the event that Shareholders do not approve Resolution 5 the Options will not be issued.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act a public company cannot give a ‘financial benefit’ to a ‘related party’ unless one of the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act apply or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party. The issue of Options to Frank Cannavo constitutes giving a financial benefit and Frank Cannavo is a related party by virtue of being a Director of the Company.
The Directors (other than Frank Cannavo who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Options to Frank Cannavo and/or his nominee because they form part of Mr Cannavo’s remuneration as an officer of the Company and the remuneration is reasonable given Mr Cannavo’s circumstances and the circumstances of the Company.
Accordingly, approval will not be sought under Chapter 2E for the issue of these Options to Frank Cannavo as the issue of the Options constitute ‘reasonable remuneration’ in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act.
ASX Listing Rule 10.11
Under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is required for the issue of equity securities to a related party of a listed company unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
Frank Cannavo is a related party of the Company, by virtue of being a Director. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Therefore, approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Options noted above to Frank Cannavo and/or his nominee.
Once approval is obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11, the Company is entitled to rely on ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14 as an exception to any requirement that may otherwise apply requiring Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 8 – Approval of additional capacity to issue Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables certain ‘eligible entities’ to issue equity securities of up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period commencing after the annual general meeting (Additional Placement Capacity). ASX Listing Rules require that Shareholders approve the Additional Placement Capacity by special resolution, at an annual general meeting before any equity securities are issued under the Additional Placement Capacity.
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A an ‘eligible entity’ 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’. The Additional Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore, if the Additional Placement Capacity is approved, the Directors will be allowed to issue equity securities of up to 10% of the Company’s issued share capital pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and up to 15% pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If the Additional Placement Capacity is not approved, the Directors will still be allowed to issue equity securities of up to 15% of the Company’s issued capital pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity should the need arise.
Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
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:
Page 20 of 27
(A x D) – E
A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:
-
a) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
-
b) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX 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 ASX Listing Rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4,
-
c) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
• the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the ASX Listing Rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4,
-
d) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval of under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
e) plus the number of any other partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-
f) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period;
-
g) Note that A is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
D is 10%
E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement to issue has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4.
ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A the Company provides the following information.
Any securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity will be in the same class as existing quoted securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being Shares (ASX Code: LSH).
The issue price for each security issued under the Additional Placement Capacity will not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in that class over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
Page 21 of 27
-
the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date above, the date on which the securities are issued.
The issue of equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity may result in voting dilution of existing ordinary shareholders (as shown in Table 1). There is also the risk that:
-
the market price for equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date.
Equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity may be issued until the earlier of:
-
1 year from the date of the Meeting; and
-
The time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
the date of approval by ordinary shareholders of a significant change to the Company’s activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or the date of approval by ordinary shareholders of a disposal of a major asset under ASX Listing Rule 11.2.
Any approval of the Additional Placement Capacity at this Meeting will cease to be valid in the event that ordinary shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
The Company may issue equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
- cash consideration: to raise funds for working capital, to fund due diligence on potential acquisitions and/or to fund cash consideration for acquisitions.
The Company’s allocation policy for issues under the Additional Placement Capacity is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue.
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 methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including rights issues or other issues in which existing shareholders may participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial position of the Company; and
-
advice from the Company’s advisors.
The allottees under the Additional Placement Capacity have not yet been determined but allottees may include existing shareholders, existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Page 22 of 27
Table 1 below shows the dilution of Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2).
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 placements under 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.

Resolution 9 – Conditional resolution to hold a spill meeting
Note that this Resolution 9 is a conditional resolution. It will only be put to the meeting if at least 25% of the votes on Resolution 1 are cast against the adoption of the 2020 Remuneration Report. Shareholders voting by proxy should still register their votes on this item.
Resolution 9 will be considered as an ordinary resolution, which means that, to be passed, the resolution requires the approval of a simple majority of the votes cast by or on behalf of shareholders entitled to vote on the matter.
At the 26 June 2020 annual general meeting, more than 25% of the votes cast on the resolution to adopt the 2019 remuneration report were cast against the resolution. If at least 25% of the votes on Resolution 1 are against adopting the Remuneration Report at this year’s Annual general meeting and this Resolution 9 is passed, then the Company must hold a further general meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days after the Annual General Meeting to consider the composition of the Board.
Specifically, if Resolution 9 is put to the meeting and passed, all the Company’s Directors who were Directors when the resolution to approve the Directors’ Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 31
Page 24 of 27
December 2020 was passed, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors. The relevant Directors include Rodney Hannington, Frank Cannavo and Justyn Stedwell. Following the Spill Meeting, those persons whose re-election as Directors is approved will be Directors of the Company.
Each relevant director is eligible, but not required, to seek re-election as a Director of the Company at the Spill Meeting. Consideration should also be given by shareholders that relevant Directors may choose not to offer themselves for re-election.
Holding a Spill Meeting would cause significant disruption to the running of the Company as a result of management distraction and the cost and time involved in organising such a meeting. A Spill Meeting may also have a negative impact on the market value of the Company.
Shareholders should note that if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against adopting the Remuneration Report at this year’s Annual General Meeting, but Resolution 9 does not pass with more than 50% of the votes cast by or on behalf of shareholders entitled to vote on the matter, the current Board will remain in place, subject to the outcome of Resolution 2.
If this Resolution is passed and a Spill Meeting is required, the date of the Spill Meeting will be confirmed to Shareholders in due course.
The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote against this Resolution.
