Resolutions
Ordinary Resolutions
Resolution 1 – Re-election of Mr Guy Khavia as Director and Chairman and approval of Terms of Office
Article 51.4 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association requires that at least one (1) Director, excluding the managing director, must stand for election or re-election at each annual general meeting.
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity that is admitted to the official list of ASX must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting even if it is not having a new director stand for election and no director is due to stand for re-election under ASX Listing Rule 14.4 (which states that a director must not hold office (without re-election) past (the longer of) the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 years). Accordingly, Mr Guy Khavia is standing for re-election for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 14.5.
Mr. Khavia is an experienced CFO with a strong background in financial, strategic, and operational leadership across public and private sectors. He has extensive experience in management, finance, and legal functions, including capital raising, mergers & acquisitions, and stock exchange compliance. His recent roles include CFO and Director at ASX listed company Dotz Nano Limited and Regional CFO at Amplifon, where he led financial teams, implemented ERP systems, and managed complex financial transactions. In addition, Mr. Khavia has served as CFO for various other public companies in Israel.
Mr. Khavia is a certified CPA and holds a B.A and M.B.A. in FINANCES from The College of Management in Israel.
Shareholders are requested to approve the following terms of office of Mr. Guy Khavia, in connection with his position as an outside Director and Chairman of the Company, and taking into account that he is qualified to be considered as a director with accounting and financial expertise: monthly fee of two thousand (2,000) US$.

Resolution 2 – Ratification of prior issue of shares to Molo Capital Pty Ltd
The Company issued 2,727,273 fully paid ordinary shares ( Advisor Shares ) to Molo Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 612 279 231) ( Molo Capital ) on 9 September 2024 (the Issue Date ) in consideration for
Nutritional Growth Solutions Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
14
corporate advisory services provided by Molo Capital utilising its existing issuance capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 2 proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the prior issue and allotment of the Advisor Shares to Molo Capital on the Issue Date.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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.
The issue of the Advisor Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been made with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s issuance capacity in the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues.
To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval of the prior issue of 2,727,273 fully paid ordinary shares to Molo Capital for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
If this Resolution is passed, the Advisor Shares that have been issued will no longer count toward the Company’s 15% equity securities issuance capacity limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Advisor Shares that have been issued will count toward the Company’s 15% equity securities issuance capacity limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, information regarding the issue of the Advisor Shares is provided as follows:

Background to Resolutions 3, 4 and 5
Background
On 29 October 2024, the Company announced that it had completed a placement to sophisticated and professional investors by way of the issue of 18,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of A$0.03 per Placement Share (the Placement ).
The Company issued the Placement Shares on 29 October 2024 by utilising its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
The Lead Manager for the Placement was Taurus Capital Group Pty Ltd (ACN 622 499 834) ( Taurus Capital ) who, as part consideration for their services, was to be issued with 9,000,000 unlisted options ( Lead Manager Options ). The Lead Manager Options will be exercisable on a 1:1 basis into ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.04 per Lead Manager Option. The Lead Manager Options will expire 3 years following their issue date.
5,000,000 of the 9,000,000 Lead Manager Options were issued within NGS’s ASX Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity and the Company is seeking to issue the remaining 4,000,000 Lead Manager Options with Shareholder approval.
Accordingly, shareholder approval of the following resolutions is being sought at this AGM:
-
Resolution 3: Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.4;
-
Resolution 4: Ratification of prior issue of 5,000,000 Lead Manager Options under ASX Listing Rule 7.4; and
Nutritional Growth Solutions Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
16
- Resolution 5: Approval to issue 4,000,000 Lead Manager Options to Taurus Capital or its nominee(s) under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 – Ratification of prior issue of placement shares
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification and approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes) of the issue of 18,000,000 fully paid shares (which were issued under the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A) on 29 October 2024 (the Placement Share Issue Date ) to the Placement Holders.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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 ( 15% Placement Capacity ).
In addition to its 15% Placement Capacity, the Company has obtained Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2024 Annual General Meeting to issue equity securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the Company’s 2024 Annual General Meeting, without needing prior shareholder approval ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that if the Company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of equity securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A) those equity securities will be treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future up to the 15% Placement Capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% Placement Capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Placement Shares that have been issued will not count toward the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company’s 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, respectively, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval in the 12 month period following the Placement Share Issue Date.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Placement Shares that have been issued will count toward the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the company’s 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, respectively, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval in the 12 month period following the Placement Share Issue Date.
Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, information regarding the issue of the Placement Shares is provided as follows:

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and for all other purposes) of the issue of 4,000,000 Lead Manager Options to Taurus Capital (or its nominee(s)).

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that if the Company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of equity securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those equity securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future up to the 15% Placement Capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues.
If Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, the issue of 9,000,000 Lead Manager Options will not count toward the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following their respective issue dates.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the issue of 5,000,000 Lead Manager Options will count toward the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval in the 12 month period following the issue date of those options.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the issue of 4,000,000 Lead Manager Options can only take place once the Company has sufficient capacity to issue equity securities under its 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Background to Resolutions 6, 7 and 8
Background
On 7 May 2025, the Company announced that it had successfully completed a placement of 1,000,000 Convertible Notes ( Convertible Notes ) to sophisticated and professional investors at an issue price of A$1.00 per Convertible Note (the Convertible Note Placement ) to raise $1,000,000 (the Convertible Note Amount ) before costs.
Under the terms of the Convertible Notes, the conversion of the 1,000,000 Convertible Notes into ordinary shares in the Company at an issue price of A$0.025 per ordinary share (that is 40,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (the Convertible Note Shares ) is to occur within 10
Nutritional Growth Solutions Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
20
business days of the Company’s shareholders approving the issue of ordinary shares on conversion of the Convertible Notes for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Under the Convertible Note Placement, subscribers for Convertible Notes are entitled to be issued with 40,000,000 free-attaching options which each have an exercise price of A$0.04 per option and an expiry date that is 3 years after their issue date ( Free-Attaching Options ) provided Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is obtained,
The lead manager for the Convertible Note Placement was GBA Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 643 039 123) ( GBA Capital ) who, as part the consideration for their services, is entitled to receive 12,000,000 options which have the same terms as the Free Attaching Options ( GBA Capital Options ) provided Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is obtained.
Together, the Free Attaching Options and GBA Capital Options shall be referred to as the Convertible Note Options . Subject to meeting the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules, the Company intends to seek Official Quotation of the Convertible Note Options.
Accordingly, Shareholder approval of the following resolutions is being sought at this AGM:
-
Resolution 6: Approval to issue the Convertible Note Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
-
• Resolution 7: Approval to issue the Free-Attaching Options under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and • Resolution 8: Approval to issue the GBA Capital Options under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 6 – Approval to issue shares on conversion of the Convertible Notes under ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and for all other purposes) of the issue of 40,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company on conversion of 1,000,000 Convertible Notes to the Convertible Note Investors.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of equity securities that a listed company can issue without 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 ( 15% Placement Capacity ).
The proposed issue of 40,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company on conversion of 1,000,000 Convertible Notes does not fall within any of the exceptions listed in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and will exceed the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. The Company is therefore seeking the approval of the Company's Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to enable the issue of 40,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company on conversion of 1,000,000 Convertible Notes for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of 40,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company on conversion of 1,000,000 Convertible Notes. In addition, the issue of those shares will not count toward the Company’s 15% equity securities issuance capacity limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of those shares and instead, the Convertible Note Amount will be a debt payable by the Company.

Resolutions 7 and 8 – Approval to issue the Free-Attaching Options
and the GBA Capital Options under ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and for all other purposes) of the issue of 40,000,000 Free-Attaching Options to the holders of the Convertible Notes and Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and for all other purposes) of the issue of 12,000,000 GBA Capital Options to GBA Capital.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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.
An issue of equity securities that is approved by the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 will not use up the Company’s 15% limit and therefore does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Nutritional Growth Solutions Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
23
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 7 seeks approval to issue 40,000,000 Free-Attaching Options and Resolution 8 seeks approval to issue 12,000,000 GBA Capital Options for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Recommendation and voting requirements
The Directors recommend that Shareholders approve Resolutions 7 and 8.
Resolutions 7 and 8 are ordinary resolutions and so require the approval of more than 50% of the votes cast by Shareholders.
A voting exclusion statement is contained after the Resolutions. Votes cast by Shareholders contrary to the voting exclusion statement will be disregarded.
The Chair intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 7 and 8.
Resolution 9 – Approval of future issue of equity securities in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
General
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to add an additional 10% equity securities issuance capacity.
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 less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million).
As of the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $3.38 million and therefore is an eligible entity. If at the time of the Meeting the Company is no longer an eligible entity this Resolution will be withdrawn.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval for the period referred to below.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity
Nutritional Growth Solutions Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
25
to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.
Period for which the approval will be valid
An approval under this Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:
-
(a) the date which 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; and
-
(c) the time and date on which Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
Minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A
Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be an existing quoted class of the Company’s equity securities and issued for cash consideration.
The issue price per equity security must not be less than 75% of the volume-weighted average market price of the equity securities in that class, calculated over 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(a) the date on which the price at which the equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the equity securities; and
-
(b) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the equity securities are issued.
Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used
As noted above, any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed use of funds at the time of issue.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, if Shareholders approve this Resolution. However, if Shareholders approved this Resolution and the Company did raise funds from the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company considers that the funds may be used for the following purposes:
-
(a) to purchase inventory for retail expansion in CVS and Wakefern;
-
(b) working capital; and
-
(c) corporate expenses.
Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing ordinary Securityholders
If this Resolution is approved, and the Company issues equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted.
There is a risk that:
- (a) the market price for the Company’s equity securities in that class may be significantly lower
Nutritional Growth Solutions Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
26
on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and
- (b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) to the market price for the Company’s equity securities on the issue date;
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing securityholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2:
| Variable “A” ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 | Variable “A” ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 | Potential Dilution and Funds Raised | Potential Dilution and Funds Raised | Potential Dilution and Funds Raised |

-
(e) The table shows the effect of an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A only, not under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Allocation policy for issues under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company’s allocation policy and the identity of the allottees of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will depend on a number of factors, including:
-
(a) the Company’s intentions in relation to the possible issue of equity securities (for cash consideration) during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period;
-
(b) the structure and timeframe of the capital raising opportunities available to the Company and any alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company (such as a pro rata offer or an offer under a share purchase plan);
-
(c) the potential effect on the control of the Company;
-
(d) the Company’s financial position and the likely future capital requirements; and
-
(e) advice from the Company’s corporate or financial advisors.
Based on the Company’s historical cashflow reports and capital raising activities in the past 12 months, the Company considers that it may raise funds during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, although this cannot be guaranteed. As of the date of this Notice, no specific intention to issue equity securities in relation to any parties, investors or existing securityholders have been formed. In addition, no intentions have been formed in relation to the possible number of issues, or the time frame in which the issues could be made. Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Board of Directors reserve the right to determine at the time

Offers made under Listing Rule 7.1A may be made to parties (excluding any related parties) including professional and sophisticated investors, existing Shareholders of the Company, clients of Australian Financial Service Licence holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to make an offer of equity securities.
