Summary

The Company proposes to change the nature of its activities to become an IoT technology business. The Directors and Xped Shareholders have discussed, examined and negotiated a set of transactions to effect this transformation (together, the Transaction ).

There are several components to the Transaction. The Company intends to:

  • (a) acquire all the issued capital in Xped from the Xped Shareholders for a consideration comprising 640,000,000 Shares issued at a deemed price of $0.02 each;

  • (b) issue 150,000,000 Management Performance Shares;

  • (c) change its name to “Xped Limited”;

  • (d) undertake the Capital Raising, being a public offer of $8,000,000 through the issue of 320,000,000 Shares at $0.025 per Share;

  • (e) apply the funds raised from Capital Raising to:

  • (1) business development and commercialisation of the technology;

  • (2) contribute to the working capital required to fund the development of the Xped Group’s business; and

  • (3) pay the costs of the Transaction; and

  • (f) issue up to a further 15,000,000 Shares to various parties who have provided services to the Company.

The Transaction will only proceed if all of the Conditional Resolutions are passed by Shareholders at the Meeting and the Company receives valid applications for at least the minimum subscription under the Capital Raising ($8 million). The Company, Xped and the Xped Shareholders, have entered into the Heads of Agreement in respect of the Xped Acquisition, the terms of which are summarised in Schedule 2.

2. Background to applicable Listing Rules and provisions of the Corporations Act

2.1 Introduction

There are a number of approvals and requirements under the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act that are applicable to the Resolutions set out in the Notice. To avoid lengthy duplication throughout the Explanatory Memorandum, set out in this Section 2 is a summary of the applicable provisions that will be referred to throughout the Notice and Explanatory Memorandum.

2.2

Listing Rule 7.1 - Issues exceeding 15% of capital

Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing in any 12 month period new Equity Securities equivalent in number to more than 15% of the total number of ordinary securities on issue at the beginning of the twelve month period ( 15% Capacity ) without the prior approval of Shareholders unless the issue otherwise comes within one of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1.

2.3 Listing Rule 7.2 - Exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1

Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2 allows the Company to issue Equity Securities without specific shareholder approval and without reducing the 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 or the 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, where shareholders of the Company have approved the issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme (like the ESOP) as an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, within three years prior to the issue of the securities. Resolution 9 is being put to shareholders for this purpose and will allow the Company to utilise Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2 for three years from the date of the Resolution being passed.

Exception 14 of Listing Rule 7.2 provides that where shareholder approval is being obtained for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 8 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

Exception 16 of Listing Rule 7.2 states that, where shareholder approval is being obtained for the purposes of section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act, a company is not required to obtain shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is relying on Exceptions 14 and 16 of Listing Rule 7.2 in relation to Resolution 3, pursuant to which the Company is seeking approval under section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act.

2.4 Listing Rule 7.4 - Ratification of issues of securities

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without prior approval under Listing Rule 7.1 can be treated as having been made with that approval if shareholders subsequently approve it. This Listing Rule is relevant for Resolution 11, being the approval sought from Shareholders for the previous issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

2.5

Listing Rule 10.11 - Acquisition of securities in the company

Listing Rule 10.11 states that a company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to any of the following persons without the approval of holders of ordinary securities:

  • (a) a Related Party; and

  • (b) a person whose relationship with the company or a related party is, in the ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

A Related Party includes a director, an entity controlled by a director and spouses, parents and children of a director. A Related Party also includes any person who came within any of these abovementioned classifications in the preceding six months or in respect of which there are reasonable grounds to believe that that person will fall within such a classification in the future.

If Shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, further approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 (see Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14).

Exception 6 of Listing Rule 10.11 provides that where a person is a related party by reason only of the transaction which is the reason for the issue of securities, Shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the Company has not sought approval of its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 in respect of Resolution 3.

2.6

Listing Rule 9 - Restricted Securities

All Xped Shareholders should expect that the ASX, as a condition of re-commencing of Quotation of the securities of the Company, may require that all or at least a portion of the Acquisition Shares and Management Performance Shares issued to them (pursuant to the implementation of any of the Resolutions) be placed in escrow for a period of either 12 or 24 months ( Escrow Period ).

The Company intends to make submissions with respect to the securities to be classified as restricted securities, however, the number and length of restriction will ultimately be determined by the ASX.

If the submissions the Company proposes to make are successful, the Directors expect that the ASX will classify the following securities as restricted securities:

Associates)

Based on the above information (and assuming the Company’s submissions to ASX are successful), 22.13% of the Company’s Shares on completion of the Transaction will be subject to escrow for up to 24 months from date of re-listing.

If the submissions of the Company are not successful, the Directors expect that the ASX will classify the following securities as restricted securities:

Shareholders were issued the

Total 640,000,000 150,000,000

Based on the above information (and assuming the Company’s submissions to ASX are not successful), 37.79% of the Company’s Shares on completion of the Transaction will be subject to escrow for up to 24 months from date of re-listing.

Each vendor who holds restricted securities will be required to execute, or appoint an attorney to execute, an escrow agreement with the Company on the terms and conditions prescribed in the Listing Rules. The effect of such an arrangement is that the holder(s) of restricted securities will not be permitted to transfer, encumber or otherwise deal with their title in any of those restricted securities until the expiry of the Escrow Period. All other rights (eg, voting, dividends etc) in respect of those restricted securities will remain unaffected throughout the Escrow Period.

As announced by the Company on 30 November 2015, 30,000,000 Placement Shares issued on 10 November 2015 and 40,000,001 of the Shares previously issued to sophisticated investors on 20 November 2015, and for which Shareholder approval was obtained at the Company's general meeting on 24 September 2015, are subject to voluntary escrow restrictions until Re-admission Date. These Shares are in a holding lock subject to ASX’s escrow treatment until the Re-admission Date.

2.7

Listing Rule 11.1

ASX Listing Rule 11.1 provides that where an entity proposes to make a significant change, either directly or indirectly, to the nature or scale of its activities, it must provide full details to ASX as soon as practicable before making the change and comply with the following:

  • (a) provide to ASX information regarding the change and its effect on future potential earnings and any further information that ASX requests;

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 10 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

  • (b) if ASX requires, obtain the approval of holders of its shares and comply with any requirements of ASX in relation to the Notice of Meeting; and

  • (c) if ASX requires, meet the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if the company were applying for admission to the Official List of ASX.

Upon receiving details of the Xped Acquisition, ASX have formed the view that the Xped Acquisition produces a significant change to the nature and scale of the Company's activities and as such, the Company is required to:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval; and

  • (b) re-comply with the admission requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

For this reason, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 1 for the Company to change the nature and scale of its activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2.

2.8

Application made for waiver of Listing Rules

Condition 2 of Listing Rule 2.1 specifies that the issue or sale price of all the securities for which a company seeks quotation must be at least 20 cents ( 20 cent rule ). Similarly, condition 11 of Listing Rule 1.1 provides that any options on issue must be exercisable for at least 20 cents.

Under Guidance Note 12 of the ASX Listing Rules, a Company may be granted relief from the 20 cent rule by ASX in certain circumstances. This includes where:

  • (a) the issue price or sale price for any securities being issued or sold as part of, or in conjunction with, the transaction:

  • (1) is not less than two (2) cents each; and

  • (2) is specifically approved by security holders as part of the approval(s) obtained under Listing Rule 11.1.2; and

  • (b) ASX is otherwise satisfied that the entity’s proposed capital structure after the transaction will satisfy Listing Rules 1.1 Condition 1 and 12.5, being that the Company has an appropriate structure for a listing entity.

It is generally accepted that the issue price for the purposes of the 20 cent rule is the price at which an associated capital raising is undertaken when a re-compliance listing is in progress.

Listing Rule 6.1 provides that the terms that apply to each class of equity securities in a company must, in ASX's opinion, be appropriate and equitable. Under Listing Rule 6.2, a company may only have one class of ordinary securities unless ASX approval is given to the terms of an additional class. Guidance Note 19 sets out certain requirements in respect of performance shares.

The Company has applied to the ASX for the following waivers and approvals:

  • (a) approval from ASX for the purposes of Listing Rules 6.1, 6.2 and 12.5 to the terms of the Performance Shares on the basis such terms are appropriate and equitable;

  • (b) confirmation from ASX for the purposes of Listing Rule 6.1 as the Performance Shares will be a different class of ordinary shares to the currently quoted ordinary shares of Raya Group;

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 11 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

  • (c) waiver of the application of condition 2 of Listing Rule 2.1 and condition 11 of Listing Rule 1.1 with respect to the Company’s re-compliance with the admission requirements outlined in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules to allow the Company to:

  • (1) issue Shares in respect of the Transaction at a price not less than $0.02 each;

  • (2) issue the EAS Options at an exercise price not less than $0.02 each; and

  • (3) issue the Performance Shares which have no exercise price; and

  • (d) in-principle advice that, pursuant to Listing Rules 1.1 and 12.5, the capital structure of Raya Group upon completion of the Transaction is appropriate for a listed entity.

Completion of the Transaction is conditional upon ASX issuing the Conditional Approval which will not be issued until each of the above mentioned approvals or waivers are issued by ASX. Accordingly, no Shares will be issued pursuant to the Conditional Resolutions unless ASX provides the approvals and grants the waivers sought by the Company as set out above. The Company will provide further disclosure to the market upon ASX making a determination in respect of the application for the above mentioned approvals and waivers.

2.9 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a Related Party of the public company unless providing the benefit falls within a prescribed exception to the general prohibition. Relevantly, there is an exception if the company first obtains the approval of its shareholders in a general meeting in circumstances where certain requirements specified in Chapter 2E in relation to the convening of that meeting have been met ( Shareholder Approval Exception ).

A Related Party is defined widely in section 228 of the Corporations Act and includes, relevantly, a director (or proposed director) of a public company, any entity that controls (or is reasonably likely to control) a public company, and any entity that is controlled by a person or entity which is otherwise a Related Party, or there are reasonable grounds to believe that a person/entity is likely to become a Related Party of the public company.

A financial benefit for the purposes of the Corporations Act has a very wide meaning. It includes the public company paying money or issuing securities to the Related Party. In determining whether or not a financial benefit is being given, it is necessary to look to the economic and commercial substance and effect of what the public company is doing (rather than just the legal form). Any consideration which is given for the financial benefit is to be disregarded, even if it is full or adequate.

2.10 Chapter 6, section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act - Exceptions to prohibited acquisitions

Section 606 of the Corporations Act prohibits a person from acquiring a relevant interest in issued voting shares in a listed company if the acquisition would result in that person’s voting power in the company increasing:

  • (a) from 20% or below to more than 20%; or

  • (b) from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%.

However, there are certain specified exceptions to the takeover prohibition contained in the Corporations Act.

3. Resolution 1 - Approval of Acquisition of Xped: Change of Activities

3.1 General

As has been advised to the market, the Company has entered the HOA pursuant to which it has agreed to acquire 100% of Xped Shares, subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including Shareholder approval of the Xped Acquisition. It is anticipated that the acquisition of Xped will be completed in early 2016.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to the Xped Acquisition and for a change to the nature and scale of the Company’s activities, subject to the passing of the Conditional Resolutions.

In light of the significance of the change to the Company’s activities, ASX has advised that the Company must re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules (as required by Listing Rule 11.1.3). In accordance with ASX Guidance Note 12, the Company’s shares will be suspended from the beginning of the Trading Day on which the Meeting is held until the requirements of Listing Rules 1 and 2 have been met.

3.2

Rationale for the proposed Xped Acquisition

Raya Group reviewed a number of potential opportunities previously in the energy and nonenergy sectors and the present market outlook in the energy sector was not very strong and rewarding for Shareholders in the near to medium term.

The Board identified an opportunity with Xped and their Auto Discovery Remote Control ( ADRC ) technology developed for the Internet of Things ( IoT ). Xped were in need of additional capital to accelerate their commercialisation and strategy and Raya Group formed an agreement with Xped that would provide benefit to both parties in the transaction.

The Directors moved to proceed with the Xped transaction based on:

  • (a) level of investment the founders have made in the company to date;

  • (b) the portfolio of patents in numerous jurisdictions that provide value and protection;

  • (c) the management team in place and their backgrounds;

  • (d) the opportunity and markets that the Xped Technology can fit into going forward;

  • (e) the founders’ previous success in business and entrepreneurship;

  • (f) technology is at commercialisation stage;

  • (g) the level of interest from outside parties to cooperate and utilise their technology in trials ahead of entering potential agreements;

  • (h) the focus to grow Asian customer base from head office in Singapore;

  • (i) encouraging signs of forming relationships with large organisations reviewing the technology; and

  • (j) potential for early revenue opportunities.

3.3

Key Advantages and Disadvantages of the Xped Acquisition

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on each Conditional Resolution:

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 14 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

  • (a) the Xped Acquisition represents a significant opportunity for the Company to increase the scale of its activities which should increase the number and size of the investor pool that may invest in the Company’s Shares;

  • (b) the Xped Acquisition provides an opportunity for the Company to diversify its interests to include Xped which is engaged in the business of developing and licensing a technology solution for the global market;

  • (c) the Xped Acquisition provides the Company with the opportunity to increase the value of the Company;

  • (d) the Company may be able to attract key cornerstone investors as a result of the Xped Acquisition which may aid in the development and growth strategy of the Xped business; and

  • (e) the Xped Acquisition provides the Company with a greater opportunity to realise revenue over a short time frame relative to the Company’s geothermal assets.

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on each Conditional Resolution:

  • (a) the Company will be changing the nature and scale of its activities to become a company focused on IoT technology, as referred to above, which may not be consistent with the objectives of all Shareholders;

  • (b) the Xped Technology does not have a demonstrated track record of generating sustainable revenues or earnings, as such there is uncertainty in relation to future prospects of the Company post Xped Acquisition and it is unlikely that the Company will be in a position to pay dividends until sustainable earnings are generated. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully commercialise the Xped Technology and realise revenues moving forward;

  • (c) the Xped Acquisition and the Capital Raising will result in the issue of Shares and Performance Shares to the Xped Shareholders and new investors, which will have a dilutionary effect on the holdings of Shareholders;

  • (d) on completion of the Transaction, the Xped Shareholders will hold up to 37.79% of the total issued Share capital of the Company. This level of shareholding will give the Xped Shareholders significant influence over the Company and they may be able to influence the outcomes of resolutions sought at meetings of the Company, including the ability to block special resolutions. It may also reduce the chance of the Company receiving a future takeover offer due to the large stake held by the Xped Shareholders; and

  • (e) there are inherent risks associated with the change in nature of the Company’s activities. Some of these risks are summarised in Section 3.13 below.

  • 3.4 About Xped

Xped Holdings Limited is an Australian company incorporated on 1 August 2008. Its founders incorporated Xped for the purpose of creating technology that would provide a better way to communicate with devices that would solve the limitations and frustrations of the remote control systems we have in our lives today. A system that simplifies how we control and monitor devices, using a smartphone and a single, simple to use and intuitive App that works for all devices.

Xped has two subsidiary companies:

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 15 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

  • (a) Xped Corporation Pty Ltd, incorporated in Australia, which houses all current Australian based employees; and

  • (b) Xped Global Pte Ltd ( Xped Global ), a company incorporated in Singapore, which serves as the Global Headquarters for the Xped Group. Xped Global is the commercial hub for the Xped Group and is the entity with which commercial agreements are intended to be entered with third parties in the future.

It is intended that Xped’s business will revolve around three main area offerings:

  • (a) Xped’s core business is intended to be the licensing of ADRC to be integrated into 3rd party products.

A diverse offering ensures IP can be integrated at any stage in a product’s development cycle. The IP can be packaged and licensed in several forms including supplying a software stack, a pre-programmed chip or a chip on a module.

Providing solutions that target semiconductor vendors, product designers and manufacturers provides greater flexibility and minimises barriers to entry.

  • (b) Xped have designed a range of consumer products that are intended to be made available through local and international distribution and retail channels.

The preferred model is for these designs to be licensed as reference designs for 3rd party Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to manufacture and sell through their own channels.

It is intended that Xped would receive a royalty for each unit produced.

  • (c) Xped’s platform potentially disrupts industry business models by transforming manufacturers from box movers to service providers fostering direct relationships between all stakeholders.

The platform provides the opportunity to monetise services with potential revenue streams coming from cloud service charges through to e-commerce.

Xped will continue to develop and explore opportunities to commercialise these services directly and through partners.

3.5 Overview of product

Our lives have been changed by the way we utilise the internet. The “Internet of Things” ( IoT ) is where every day physical objects are connected to the Internet and identify themselves to other devices. Further information about IoT is outlined in paragraph 3.6 below.

ADRC (Auto Discovery Remote Control) is Xped’s core technology offering. It provides an end to end solution for the delivery of user friendly connected devices that are easy and cheap to develop. It is a complete IoT platform.

It provides a foundation for a new generation of device and an IoT platform that combines the Device Browser, Near Field Communication (NFC) ‘tap discovery and pairing’, whilst eliminating the need for developers to write a device App.

For consumers, the solution is refreshingly simple. Just tap a smartphone or smart remote to a device, and it is ready to control.

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 16 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

The Device Browser App uses Wi-Fi and other standards based communications systems to communicate with special software in the device to automatically establish a highly secure communications network and present a simple yet effective user interface, all within a few seconds.

The system has the potential to benefit all players in the IoT eco system, from developers, distributors, retailers and content providers to consumers. The solution is open, simple to use and has the potential to become a global platform and standard for the IoT.

The following are the key assets of Xped. Further details regarding the ADRC technology are set out in the Technical Expert’s Report annexed to the Independent Expert’s Report:

  • (a) ADRC:

US Patent 9,136,913, An arrangement for managing wireless communication between devices

Status:

  • (1) Granted in: USA, Japan, Russia, Mexico, South Africa. A subsequent continuation patent has been applied for in the USA to enhance aspects of the original granted patent.

  • (2) Pending in: a number of jurisdictions including China, EU and Australia.

This patent protects technologies that simplify the process of connecting to, controlling and monitoring devices over a wireless or wired communications link.

The core technology described in this patent is Auto Discovery Remote Control (ADRC) and allows a controller to tap a device that:

  • (1) establishes a secure wireless communication link between the controller and the device; and

  • (2) for the device to describe itself to the controller such that its API is known, its data is described, a preferred graphical user interface can be displayed thusallowing the controller to control and monitor the device.

In more detail, the “tap” utilises a very short range radio transmission to transfer data between the device and the controller, such as the Near Field Communications ( NFC system commonly found in smartphones. This data contains security keys and other information sufficient to establish a secure longer range wireless link between the controller and the device. This longer range link could be 802.15.4, Bluetooth, Wifi or other similar radio systems. Once this link is established, the controller and device are now “paired” and additional information is transferred from the device to the controller in a file that describes the device. The file is based on a new software language that has been specifically developed to describe devices and resources called Resource Modelling Language ( RML ). Software in the controller (an app for example) interprets the RML code which allows the controller to display a user interface, including all the controls and indicators needed to control and monitor the device.

This process can be summarised by saying that the device describes itself to the controller. This “teaching” process means that controllers do not need any prior knowledge of a device to interact with it. Thus any device that utilises ADRC can be controlled with a single app on the controller, whether the device has been invented yet or not. By way of comparison, as a single web browser app can interact with any web site through the use of a common language (HTML), a single device browser app can interact with any ADRC enabled device using a common language (RML).

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Explanatory Memorandum

Utilising a hub, the device can be connected to the Internet allowing it to be controlled and monitored wirelessly both locally and remotely.

  • (b) Retail:

US Patent 2011/0270712, An arrangement for managing mobile device access to precinct regions containing services and products and information

Status:

  • (1) Pending – previously rejected, appeal has been filed.

  • (2) Granted in: No jurisdictions.

  • (3) Pending in: Hong Kong.

This patent protects technologies that allow a controller to gather “scope defined” information regarding a good or service by tapping a controller to a Kiosk.

The controller can be an NFC equipped smartphone and the Kiosk could be an NFC Point of Sale (POS), Smart Sign, or other type of terminal.

When the controller is tapped to the Kiosk, data is transferred to the controller that is relevant to information relating to goods or services specifically linked to a region, location or “Precinct”. Thus a system containing several Kiosks could provide information to a user that is specific to the location of those Kiosks. This “Scope Reduction” is used to filter information provided making it relevant and of interest to a user.

Additionally, since the location of a Kiosk can be very accurately known (within centimetres), systems that incorporate these Kiosks can provide “Location Validation” allowing a user to know their location very accurately rather than relying on GPS, or indoor tracking systems.

An example of how this technology might be used is as follows. A user might tap their phone to a Kiosk at an entrance of a shopping mall and an app will provide information on all the shops and their location in that mall. The user may make their way to a department store and tap their phone on another Kiosk as they enter. The information displayed now shows the goods and services available within that store, including showing that there is a sporting goods section. The user makes their way to the sporting goods section and taps on a Kiosk located there. The user discovers that a range of tennis racquets are on sale and decides to make a purchase of one particular racquet based on detailed information provided by the manufacturer of that racquet and the cost price provided by the store.

  • (c) Ping:

US Patent 2013/0225077, Wireless device detection and communication apparatus and system

Status:

  • (1) Responding to current office actions.

  • (2) Granted in: Singapore.

This patent protects technologies that form the basis for ultra-low power communication systems.

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 18 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

A communication transport layer is developed to allow data to be transferred wirelessly over short distances (several centimetres) between devices using extremely small amounts of power. This has been achieved by eliminating the need to generate and transmit a carrier that is needed to be modulated to transmit data. The system uses very short pulses (Ping pulses) to transmit data over short distances using a coil located in each device. This Near Field Ping system (NFP) utilises several orders of magnitude less power than existing Near Field Communication (NFC) systems commonly found in smartphones today. Also NFP can be implemented with very little restriction on the coil design, from just a few turns, to many turns. Additionally coils of only a few millimetres in diameter to very large geometries can be accommodated, significantly simplifying its adoption into a wide range of devices and environments.

The system has also been developed such that a single coil in a device can transmit and receive data using NFP and NFC allowing interoperability between these systems. Additionally the same single coil can be utilised to receive power from a wireless charging system to charge a battery in the device.

This technology is specifically designed to enable a new generation of ultra-low power sensor systems utilising reduced battery, battery-less or energy harvesting systems, making it an ideal candidate for IoT solutions that require low power characteristics.

  • (d) Wand:

US Patent 2015/0044966, Method and apparatus for forming association and communicating between devices

Status:

  • (1) Pending in: a number of jurisdictions including USA and EU.

  • (2) Granted in: no jurisdictions.

This patent protects technologies that simplify wirelessly connecting/pairing several ADRC enabled devices by simply tapping each with a pairing device call a Wand.

By tapping the Wand to each ADRC enabled device, information is gathered that allows the two or more devices to be paired with each other and/or to a hub, allowing data to be transferred between these devices wirelessly. This significantly simplifies and speeds up the process of pairing wireless devices as compared with today’s methods.

A NFC equipped smartphone can be utilised as a Wand, however other devices can be equipped with this technology to form a Wand, such as a small pen like device, a memory stick, key ring, etc.

A custom made Wand device is advantageous when it is undesirable for a system installer to use their own personal smartphone, or if an NFC equipped smartphone is not readily available.

An example of how this technology might be used is that a wireless printer and a desktop computer equipped with ADRC or an ADRC dongle can be wirelessly connected by simple tapping each using a Wand. Both are immediately paired and ready for printing.

  • (e) Exerts:

US Patent 9,037,708 Remote Control Arrangement

Status:

  • (1) Granted in: USA, China, Australia, Mexico, South Africa.

  • (2) Pending in: a number of other jurisdictions.

This patent protects technologies that form the basis of an advanced content delivery system that allows content to be activated or “triggered” under specified conditions.

Delivery of digital content, such as video, pictures, advertisements, payment data, etc. can be initiated, over a short range wireless link, such as Near Field Communication (NFC) or Ping, from a suitably equipped Kiosk or other device such as a Point Of Sale (POS) Terminal to a smartphone when the phone is tapped to the device.

In this invention, the primary digital content that is delivered is also accompanied with some additional associated content such as coupons and advertisements and trigger conditions. The trigger conditions determine when and how the associated content is activated. Until triggered, the associated content remains in memory… sleeping. An app or service running on the phone processes the trigger data and then waits for the trigger conditions to become true. A trigger condition could be determined by a geographic location, time and date, detection of an event, NFC tap, etc. or any combination of these. Once the trigger event occurs, the associated content is presented. This may cause a message to be displayed to a specified user or group of users, initiate a firmware update, display a coupon, provide a discount on a purchase, etc. The type and action of the trigger event is determined by the designer of the associated content.

An example might be that a restaurant chain may encourage their customers to tap on the store’s NFC Kiosk or POS terminal as part of a loyalty program or payment. In doing so they might receive a coupon that is triggerable to coincide with the chain’s discount program scheduled to begin the following month. The sleeper coupon remains in memory until the date and time the discount program begins. At that time, the coupon is triggered; an indication is made to the user of the phone that a special offer is available and the coupon becomes activated and available for use. It offers a discount if the customer returns to the store to make a purchase within 7 days.

  • (f) Multicontroller:

US Patent 2013/0176106 Remote Control and Remote Control Systems

Status:

  • (1) Pending in: USA, responding to final office action.

  • (2) Granted in: Mexico, Singapore, South Africa.

This patent protects technologies associated with forming multiple networks consisting of multiple devices, their grouping, security and access controls.

A complex network may consist of multiple users that wish to access many devices including multiple appliances and controllers. The appliances may include AV equipment, lights, air conditioners, security systems, door locks, etc. A number of controllers may exist within this environment, including personal smartphones, common area remote controls, wall mounted panel controls, etc. In these environments

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 20 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

it is necessary to simplify how the system is managed. This patent covers the field of forming and managing multiple networks to aid in access control of certain devices or groups of devices. For example, it may be beneficial to have common access of all users to devices such as TV, DVD, fan, lights, etc. on one network. However, it may be preferable to have the security systems, associated control panels and alarms on a separate network to restrict access to certain users or controllers.

This patent also details and overcomes the complexities of managing multiple controllers within a complex networked environment, including ensuring that all controllers are synchronised and reflect the current state of each device. In this way if one controller is used to turn on a bedroom light for example, all controllers on that network will update to reflect that the bedroom light has, in fact, been turned on.

  • (g) Device Metastate Indicator:

US Patent 14/773721 Remote Control Arrangement (Name to change to Device Metastate Indictor)

Status:

  • (1) This patent is transitioning from PCT phase to National phase at this time.

  • (2) Granted in: no jurisdictions.

  • (3) Pending in: USA.

This patent protects the method of indicating the state of a device.

Devices can have several states, including initial, final, or transition, etc.

For example a roller door may have an initial state of “down”. If a controller is used to command the door to rise to the “up” state; some time is needed to pass while the door is opening. This intermediate time and state is referred to as the transitional state. In some cases, such as the roller door example, this time may be significant, whereas in other cases, such as turning on or off a light, the time between states is imperceptible. In any case it is necessary to clearly communicate to one or more users of the system the current state of a device.

In this patent, a method of indicating states has been developed to communicate to the user of a controller the current state that a device is currently in, including if the state is unknown, or there is an error with the device. In the current example, if the user is out of wireless range of the roller door, or if the door has jammed causing a fault, the user will be made aware of these states.

3.6 Overview of the “Internet of Things”

The Internet of Things or “IoT”, is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity to enable objects to collect and exchange data. The Internet of Things allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Explanatory Memorandum

system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure. According to Cisco, it is estimated that the IoT will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020.[1]

Typically, IoT is expected to offer advanced connectivity of devices, systems, and services that goes beyond machine-to-machine communications (M2M) and covers a variety of protocols, domains, and applications. The interconnection of these embedded devices (including smart objects), is expected to usher in automation in nearly all fields, while also enabling advanced applications like a Smart Grid, and expanding to the areas such as Smart city.

Things, in the IoT, can refer to a wide variety of devices such as heart monitoring implants, biochip transponders on farm animals, electric clams in coastal waters, automobiles with builtin sensors, or field operation devices that assist fire-fighters in search and rescue. These devices collect useful data with the help of various existing technologies and then autonomously flow the data between other devices. Current market examples include smart thermostat systems and washer/dryers that use Wi-Fi for remote monitoring.

Besides the plethora of new application areas for Internet connected automation to expand into, IoT is also expected to generate large amounts of data from diverse locations that is aggregated very quickly, thereby increasing the need to better index, store and process such data

3.7

Path to commercialisation

Xped’s ADRC technology is now entering the commercialisation phase. Xped is currently engaged in discussions with a number of parties in Australia and Asia to seek to commercialise its technology and has entered a number of memorandum of understandings in this regard.

Xped has also been working with two of the worlds’ largest semiconductor chip manufacturers to identify potential opportunities to accelerate the commercialisation of the Xped Technology. Under the Singapore based Partnerships for Capability Transformation (PACT) initiative, one of the semiconductor companies has recently nominated that it intends to collaborate with Xped for the development and test bedding of innovative solutions and products. Both parties are working towards finalising discussions that will provide a framework for the parties to jointly assess and explore new opportunities in the IoT section. Subject to finalisation of such discussions the parties may enter an agreement to formalise their relationship moving forward, however, no such agreement has been entered at this stage.

before tax and extraordinary items following completion of the Xped Acquisition are set out in Schedule 6.

The Pro Forma Financial Information in Schedule 6 has been prepared for illustrative purposes and has been prepared in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of Australian Accounting Standards and the significant accounting policies of the Company and Xped, as if the Xped Acquisition occurred on 30 June 2015.

The accounting policies comply with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. They also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. The Financial Information is presented in an abbreviated form insofar as it does not include all the disclosures, statements, comparative information and notes required in annual general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act.

The Company’s financial statements as at and for the years ended 30 June 2013, 2014 and 2015 have been audited by Pitcher Partners. An audit opinion was issued by Pitcher Partners for the Company which included an emphasis of matter in relation to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without raising additional working capital. Xped’s financial statements as at and for the years ended 30 June 2013, 2014 and 2015 have been audited by Bentleys (SA) Partnership. An audit opinion was issued by Bentleys (SA) Partnership for Xped, which included a qualification in relation to Bentleys (SA) Partnership’s inability to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding costs constituting the intangible asset, in addition to an emphasis of matter in relation to Xped’s ability to continue as a going concern in the absence of the acquisition by the Company.

The historical financial information of the merged group provided in Schedule 6 comprises a Pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, which is based upon:

  • (1) the Company’s audited statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015;

  • (2) Xped’s audited statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015; and

  • (3) relevant Pro forma adjustments required to present the merged group.

The information in Schedule 6 is presented on a Pro forma basis only, and as a result it is likely that this information will differ from the actual financial information for the merged group as at completion of the proposed acquisition.

(b) Issued capital

Schedule 3 sets out the current issued share capital of the Company, together with the capital structure, assuming the Transaction completes.

In summary, if the Xped Acquisition is completed and all Shares are issued in accordance with Resolutions 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Notice, the Xped Shareholders would hold a total of 37.79% of the issued Shares, assuming that the Majority Shareholders do not subscribe for any Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising. The Majority Shareholders do not intend to subscribe for any Shares under the Capital Raising, and further, would not be able to subscribe for any Shares under the Capital Raising without additional Shareholder approval first being obtained.

The existing Shareholders of Raya would hold a total of 42.42% of the issued Shares, assuming that neither the Xped Shareholders nor any existing Shareholders subscribe for any Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising. Assuming only new investors

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 24 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

subscribe for Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising, those new investors would hold 18.90% of the issued Shares on completion of the Transaction.

This information excludes any Management Performance Shares held and assumes such securities are not exercised into Shares.

The spread of the shareholding among the Xped Shareholders is identified in Schedule 3.

3.11 Board Composition

Neve Technologies secured Commercialising Emerging Technologies ( COMET ) funding, raised capital and successfully commercialised its technology internationally.

3.12 Timetable

The timetable in Schedule 4 outlines the expected timing for completion of the Xped Acquisition and the Capital Raising, subject to compliance with all regulatory and statutory requirements.

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 25 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

The Company notes that the dates outlined in the timetable in Schedule 4 are indicative only and subject to a number of factors which are outside the control of the Company and as such may change without notice.

3.13 Risks

The business activities of the Company are and will continue to be subject to normal business risks and uncertainties and there may be many factors that could affect the future performance of the Company. Some of these risks and uncertainties may be mitigated by the use of safeguards, appropriate systems and contingencies. However, some risks may be outside the control of the Company and not able to be mitigated. Additionally, there are also a number of risk factors that are specific to the Company.

The following is a summary of some of the key specific risks relating to the Xped Acquisition and business of the Company after completion of the Transaction.

(a) Completion Risk, and re-quotation of shares on ASX

The Xped Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions precedent. If these conditions are not satisfied or waived by the relevant due date, the Xped Acquisition may not proceed, in which case the Company will need to evaluate its future strategy.

In addition, one of the conditions precedents is that all necessary regulatory approvals pursuant to the Listing Rules are met. The acquisition of Xped constitutes a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities and the Company needs to comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if it were seeking admission to the official list of the ASX.

There is a risk that the Company may not be able to meet the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation of its Shares and Options on the ASX, which would result in the investors’ funds being returned, and the Xped Acquisition not being completed. Should this occur, the Shares and Options will not be able to be traded on the ASX until such time as those requirements can be met, if at all.

(b) Protection of IP/IT

At the core of Xped’s business is its proprietary application software and the intellectual property at the core of the Xped Technology is key to its success. There is a risk that other individuals or companies may claim to have any interest in the intellectual property utilised in Xped Technology.

If Xped fails to protect its Xped Technology intellectual property rights adequately, competitors may gain access to Xped Technology or parts of it which may harm its business and following the Xped Acquisition, the Raya Group and the value of the Shares and Options.

In addition, there may well be significant value attached to the trademarks and other similar forms of intellectual property associated with the Xped brand. Failure by Xped to adequately protect against infringements of intellectual property associated with its brand may result in significant damage to that brand and ultimately the value of the Shares and Options.

Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available to Xped in every country in which the Xped Technology may eventually be launched. Accordingly, despite its efforts, Xped may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating its intellectual property in that country.

  • (c) Dependence on the Internet and telecommunications infrastructure

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 26 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

The success of Xped Technology and products will depend to some extent on:

  • (1) the availability and stability of telecommunications infrastructure, and in particular the infrastructure over which devices directly communicate with each other; and

  • (2) the Internet.

The utility of both connectivity and the Internet for carrying communications between devices can be adversely impacted upon as a result of the rapidly increasing demands for bandwidth, data security, reliability, cost, accessibility and quality-of-service. Delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle these increased demands may impact on the adoption of Xped Technology and ultimately the success of its Xped’s business. The performance of the Internet has been harmed by “viruses,” “worms” and similar malicious programs, and the Internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure.

Importantly, Xped’s ADRC is agnostic of the transmission technology used. A wide range of wireless as well as wireline options can be used and would be dependent upon the application and development resources. This is a decision made by the manufacturer on what best suits the needs of their customers.

Please note that Xped’s ADRC platform does not rely on access to the internet to function, however the experience may be enhanced if connection is made.

(d) Standardisation Risk

Whilst Xped is hopeful that its ADRC technology may present the opportunity for adoption as a future standard, because of the activity by others at this time in this sector using different standards, no assurance can be given that Xped's technology will be adopted as the standard in this sector.

  • (e) Commercialisation Risk

Commercialisation of Xped's technology will require Raya Group to identify appropriate vendors, product designers and manufacturers and negotiate agreements on commercial terms to generate royalty and licence fee based revenue income. Whilst Xped is in either collaboration arrangements or proof of concept trials with a number of international and Australian companies, it does not at this time have a licence agreement with any third parties and no assurance can be given that Xped will be successful in entering into such agreements.

  • (f) Hacker risk, Technology / disruption / corruption / systems failure

Security concerns and the possibility of data corruption and data manipulation are particular concerns with NFC technology. Where consumers perceive that ADRC is insecure and open to being hacked then the adoption of Xped Technology may be impacted. This may ultimately impact on the success of the Xped’s business.

Whilst Xped have sought as part of the design of their ADRC technology to incorporate security aspects, at the present time this security design is still being investigated and no assurance can be given at this time that Xped's technology will be immune from the usual range of IoT technology risks.

To mitigate any risks associated with NFC security, Xped will be implementing changes to the hardware design to include an AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption engine.

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Explanatory Memorandum

(g) Extensive competition

There is a great deal of interest in the IoT and device connectivity. Accordingly there is huge potential future competition and there can be no assurances that the competitive environment will not change adversely due to actions of competitors or changes in customer preferences.

(h) Loss of key personnel

The Company will rely heavily on the experience and knowledge of John Schultz and Christopher Wood. In the event that any of these persons or any other key personnel that the Company subsequently recruits leaves the Company and the Company was unable to recruit suitable replacements, such loss could have a materially adverse effect on the Company.

(i) Research and Development Risks

Investments in research and development technologies such as the Xped Technology are often uncertain or unproven, and the exact value of those assets may not be known at the time that the Company acquires them.

(j) Material arrangements

Xped and its subsidiaries have entered a number of non-binding arrangements, by way of memorandums of understanding. These arrangements by their nature may be nonbinding and unenforceable. As such, in the event that the other parties to these arrangements fail to perform their obligations, the Group may have no right to enforce the provisions of these arrangements through legal action.

(k) Relationships with suppliers

The Company will rely on sourcing products from various suppliers and any material adverse change in the Company’s relationships with its suppliers, its terms of trade, or the ability of key suppliers to service orders could have an adverse impact on the Company’s prospects.

It is important to note, however, that the business model for Xped is licensing of IP, or firmware. As such, its business revolves largely around the supply of software and does not heavily rely upon the supply of other products.

In areas where supply of components is necessary, i.e. to provide that same IP on a module, multiple avenues of supply will be available. Xped’s ADRC technology is agnostic of the chip supplier and Xped is in discussions with several semiconductor firms to ensure that problems with availability are mitigated.

(l) Growth prospects and company expansion plans

The Company’s growth prospects are dependent upon a number of factors, including general acceptance by manufacturers to adopt an open application approach.

If the Company fails to execute any expansion plan, its financial performance is likely to be negatively affected.

Xped recognises that any exponential growth will be achieved through partnerships it creates. ADRC has diverse appeal and application and as such the partnerships either formed or being created are in a diverse set of industry verticals.

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 28 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

Xped is also taking proactive steps to enter verticals where it feels significant benefits to consumers would be realised quickly. Raising the visibility of the ADRC technology through these avenues will bring further interest from other potential partners. This is known as Seeding the market and is used for similar purposes by other companies involved in IP Licensing.

(m) Regulatory risks

Currently there are few IoT-specific laws and regulations. However in Australia, IoTbased technologies may be impacted by informational privacy laws. Such laws differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In Australia, the collection, use, storage and disclosure of “personal information” is principally regulated by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) ( Privacy Act ). The Privacy Act does not prohibit IoT-based technologies but it could in certain circumstances impose additional compliance obligations on businesses who use or commercialise those technologies.

The compliance obligations under the Privacy Act only extend to “personal information”. The term “personal information” is defined in the Privacy Act to mean (in summary) information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

If the ADRC IoT Platform Technology collects data which falls within the definition of “personal information”, then the compliance regime under the Privacy Act will apply to the Company in respect of the collection, use, storage and disclosure of that “personal information”.

If the data collected by the ADRC IoT Platform Technology does not (by itself) constitute “information or an opinion about an identified individual” (such a device MAC address, an IP address or event metadata), it is still possible that such data could be aggregated with other datasets which, together, could be considered personal information.

The Company will take steps to ensure compliance with any applicable requirements of the Privacy Act.

In addition there may be in increased regulation and therefore increased regulatory compliance costs for Xped’s business in respect of such areas as:

  • (1) spectrum management;

  • (2) interoperability and open systems;

  • (3) network resilience and Security;

  • (4) security and data privacy;

  • (5) data sharing; and

  • (6) numbering.

As laws and regulations develop around each of these areas in jurisdictions in which devices using Xped Technology are located, or in which data necessary for the application of that technology is collected, transferred, accessed, stored or analysed, there may be increased regulatory compliance costs for Xped’s business. However, these costs may be off-set to some degree by the increased take up and adoption of IoT applications in general, and Xped’s technology in particular as consumer confidence in the security, safety and reliability of these IoT technologies increase.

Explanatory Memorandum

3.14 Other information

(a) Conditionality of Resolutions

The Conditional Resolutions are each conditional upon the passing of each other, so that each will not have effect unless and until all of the others are passed.

As such, if any of the Conditional Resolutions are not passed, then all of the Conditional Resolutions will be taken to have been not approved by Shareholders.

  • (b) Plans for the Company if the Resolutions are passed

In the event that all of the Conditional Resolutions are approved by Shareholders and the Xped Acquisition completes, the Company will comprise the combined business operations of Raya and Xped. As such, the Company will move forward with plans to become a leading IOT technology business through licensing its ADRC technology and extending its valuable IP portfolio. The Company will continue to seek a strategic partner for its Sokoria Geothermal Project or consider divestment.

  • (c) Plans for the Company if the Resolutions are not passed:

In the event that the Conditional Resolutions are not approved and the Xped Acquisition does not take place, the Company will continue to seek a strategic partner for its Sokoria Geothermal Project and will consider and review other opportunities that can provide and generate wealth for shareholders.

3.15 Director Recommendation

Mr Brendan de Kauwe recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 for the following reasons:

  • (a) the Xped Acquisition will provide Shareholders with an interest in an operating business and is consistent with the Company’s previously stated intentions of acquiring a business that potentially provides the possibility of obtaining a return on capital invested;

  • (b) completion of the Xped Acquisition, which is conditional on the related Capital Raising proposed under Resolution 4, is likely to result in both a larger market capitalisation for the Company and a larger number of Shareholders and therefore will potentially increase the likelihood of an active trading market in the Company’s Shares that has not existed for some time; and

  • (c) the Independent Expert has concluded that the Xped Acquisition is fair and reasonable to the non-associated shareholders of the Company.

Other than as a Shareholder in the Company Mr Brendan de Kauwe does not have an interest in the outcome of this Resolution.

Mr Athan Lekkas and Mr Michael Clarke do not make a recommendation in respect of this Resolution as each are interested in the outcome of this Resolution by reason of their appointment as an executive of the Company being conditional on the passing of this Resolution.

Explanatory Memorandum

4. Resolutions 2, 3 and 4: Approval of the issue of Acquisition Shares and Management Performance Shares

4.1 Introduction

As outlined in section 3.8(a), the consideration for the Xped Acquisition consists of the:

  • (a) Acquisition Shares to be issued to all of the Xped Shareholders; and

  • (b) Management Performance Shares to be issued to each of the Xped Key Management.

A summary of the terms of the HOA is set out in Schedule 2 of this Explanatory Memorandum.

4.2

Acquisition Shares

Resolutions 2 and 3 propose the issue and allotment of a total of 640,000,000 Acquisition Shares to Xped Shareholders pursuant to the HOA.

JK Group, a company controlled by John Schultz and Alanticx Technologies, a company controlled by Christopher Wood, are both Xped Majority Shareholders. John Schultz and Christopher Wood are both proposed directors of the Company, as outlined in paragraph 3.11 of this Explanatory Memorandum.

Resolution 2 seeks approval for the issue of 59,887,578 Acquisition Shares to the Remaining Xped Shareholders (or their nominees).

Details of the number of Acquisition Shares to be issued to each Xped Shareholder is set out in Schedule 1.

4.3

Management Performance Shares

Pursuant to the terms of the HOA, the Company will also issue 150,000,000 Management Performance Shares to Xped Key Management pursuant to Resolution 3 in this Notice.

The HOA contemplates the Management Performance Shares being issued as three classes of performance shares: Class A Management Performance Shares, Class B Management Performance Shares and Class C Management Performance Shares, the terms of which are as follows:

Class A Class B Class C
Xped Key
Management
50,000,000 50,000,000 50,000,000

Resolution 3 seeks approval for the issue of Management Performance Shares to JK Group and Alanticx Technologies, pursuant to Chapter 2E and section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act.

4.4

Listing Rule 7.1

The issue of the Acquisition Shares to the Remaining Xped Shareholders will exceed the 15% Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Directors are seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 2 to the issue of Acquisition Shares to the Remaining Xped Shareholders.

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 31 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the Company advises as follows:

  • (a) the maximum number of Acquisition Shares to be issued to the Remaining Xped Shareholders (or their nominees) pursuant to Resolution 2 is 59,887,578 Acquisition Shares;

  • (b) the Acquisition Shares will be allotted and issued on completion of the Xped Acquisition, but in any event will be issued to the Remaining Xped Shareholders (or their nominees) within 3 months of the date of the Meeting;

  • (c) the Acquisition Shares will not be issued for cash and will not raise any funds as the Acquisition Shares are to be issued as consideration for the acquisition of the Xped Shares. That said, the deemed issue price of the Acquisition Shares is $0.02 per Share; and

  • (d) on issue, the Acquisition Shares will rank equally with all Shares on issue at that time.

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, as approval is being sought under section 611 (item 7) for the issue of Acquisition Shares and Management Performance Rights to Xped Key Management (and the issue of Shares to Xped Key Management on conversion of the Management Performance Shares), approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.5

Section 611 of the Corporations Act

The issue of the Acquisition Shares to the Xped Key Management pursuant to Resolution 3 will be prohibited by section 606 of the Corporations Act unless a relevant exception applies, as the Xped Key Management currently have no voting power in the Company and will increase their voting power in the Company to more than 20%.

The initial acquisition of the Management Performance Shares pursuant to Resolution 3 will not result in the Xped Key Management (as the case may be) acquiring a relevant interest in issued voting shares in the Company. However, on issue of any Shares on conversion of the Management Performance Shares, the holder will acquire a relevant interest in those Shares. Accordingly, as the Xped Key Management will have voting power of more than 20% in the Company after completion of the Acquisition, any increase in their voting power will be prohibited by section 606 of the Corporations Act unless a relevant exception applies.

Section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act exempts an acquisition agreed to by a resolution passed at a general meeting on which no votes were cast in favour of the resolution by the person proposing to make the acquisition or their associates.

As a consequence of JK Group and Alanticx Technologies having the right to nominate two persons to be appointed as Directors (one of whom will be the chair) on Completion, JK Group and Alanticx Technologies are presently regarded as Associates of each other. The Company notes however that this does not necessarily mean that JK Group and Alanticx Technologies will always be regarded as Associates.

Accordingly, Resolution 3 seeks approval for the issue of Acquisition Shares to JK Group and Alanticx Technologies as well as for the issue of Shares to JK Group and Alanticx Technologies upon conversion of the Management Performance Shares into Shares for the purposes of, amongst other things, section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act.

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to provide sufficient detail for Shareholders of the Company to appropriately consider Resolution 3 and should be read in conjunction with the Independent Expert’s Report.

If Shareholders pass the Conditional Resolutions this will have the effect of, amongst other things:

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 32 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

  • (a) the Company changing its activities within the meaning of Listing Rule 11.1; and

  • (b) Mr John Schultz and Mr Christopher Wood (and their associates) gaining a relevant interest in the Company in excess of 20%.

For the purposes of section 611 (item 7(b)), the Company advises that:

  • (a) Section 611 (item 7(b)(i)): The identity of the person proposing to make the acquisition and their Associates

In respect of Resolution 3, the identity of the person proposing to make the acquisition is JK Group and Alanticx Technologies (or their nominees).

As noted above, JK Group and Alanticx Technologies are presently regarded as Associates of each other. John Schultz is also an Associate of JK Group. Christopher Wood is also an Associate of Alanticx Technologies.

Neither JK Group, John Schultz, Alanticx Technologies nor Christopher Wood currently hold any Equity Securities in the Company.

  • (b) Section 611 (item 7(b)(ii)): The maximum extent of the increase in that person’s Voting Power in the company that would result from the acquisition

Details regarding the current voting power of the Xped Key Management and the potential voting power of the Xped Key Management if the Management Performance Shares issued to them are fully converted are set out in Schedule 3.

Neither JK Group, Alanticx Technologies nor their Associates currently have a relevant interest or any voting power in the Company

In summary, in respect of JK Group and Alanticx Technologies:

  • (1) the maximum extent of the increase in JK Group and Alanticx Technologies’ relevant interest and voting power in the Company that would result from the issue of the Acquisition Shares to JK Group and Alanticx Technologies or their nominees (assuming the Xped Acquisition is completed and all Shares are issued in accordance with Resolutions 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Notice, but that no other Shares are issued) is 34.26%. This assumes that the Xped Key Management do not subscribe for any Offer Shares under the Capital Raising. The Xped Key Management do not intend to subscribe for any Offer Shares, and further, would not be able to subscribe for any Offer Shares under the Capital Raising without additional Shareholder approval first being obtained; and

  • (2) the maximum extent of the increase in JK Group and Alanticx Technologies’ relevant interest and voting power in the Company that would result from the full conversion of all of the Management Performance Shares issued to JK Group and Alanticx Technologies (assuming the Xped Acquisition is completed and all Shares are issued in accordance with Resolutions 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Notice, but that no other Shares are issued) is 39.61%, bringing the total relevant interest and voting power to 39.61%. This assumes that the Xped Key Management do not subscribe for any Offer Shares under the Capital Raising. The Xped Key Management do not intend to subscribe for any Offer Shares, and further, would not be able to subscribe for any Offer Shares under the Capital Raising without additional Shareholder approval first being obtained.

It is noted that under the proposed timetable, the Acquisition Shares will be issued prior to the issue of the Offer Shares. Accordingly, for a very short period of time, the

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 33 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

maximum relevant interest and voting power in the Company that would result from the issue of the Acquisition Shares to JK Group and Alanticx Technologies (assuming the Xped Acquisition is completed, however, no other Shares are issued) would be 42.71%. This would only be the position until the Offer Shares and Advisor Shares were issued in which case the maximum relevant interest and voting power in the Company that would result from the issue of the Acquisition Shares to JK Group and Alanticx Technologies would be as set out above.

  • (c) Section 611 (item 7(b)(iii)): The Voting Power that the person would have as a result of the acquisition

As provided in paragraph (b) above, JK Group and Alanticx Technologies could have a maximum Voting Power of up to approximately 34.26% as a result of the issue of the Acquisition Shares (assuming the Xped Acquisition is completed and all Shares are issued in accordance with Resolutions 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Notice, but that no other Shares are issued). This also assumes that the Xped Key Management do not subscribe for any Offer Shares under the Capital Raising. The Xped Key Management do not intend to subscribe for any Offer Shares, and further, would not be able to subscribe for any Offer Shares under the Capital Raising without additional Shareholder approval first being obtained. In the event that there was full conversion of all of the Management Performance Shares issued to JK Group and Alanticx Technologies (assuming the Xped Acquisition is completed and all Shares are issued in accordance with Resolutions 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Notice, but that Xped Key Management do not subscribe for any Offer Shares and no other Shares are issued), JK Group and Alanticx Technologies could have a maximum Voting Power of up to approximately 39.61%.

  • (d) Section 611 (items 7(b)(iv) and 7(b)(v)): The maximum extent of the increase in the Voting Power of each of that person’s Associates that would result from the acquisition and the Voting Power that each of that person’s Associates would have as a result of the acquisition

In respect of Resolution 3, no associates of JK Group or Alanticx Technologies hold Shares or a relevant interest in the Company, other than a relevant interest arising from the issue of Shares to JK Group and Alanticx Technologies pursuant to the Xped Acquisition.

In accordance with ASIC RG 74.25, the Company advises that:

  • (a) Reasons for the proposed acquisition

The reasons for the Transaction are set out above at sections 3.2.

  • (b) When the proposed acquisition is to occur

Completion of the Xped Acquisition will occur five business days after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent to the Xped Acquisition, at which time the Acquisition Shares and the Management Performance Shares will be issued.

The Management Performance Shares may convert into Shares at any time between the date of issue and up to 30 months from the Re-admission Date, in accordance with the terms set out in Schedule 5.

  • (c) Material terms of the proposed acquisition

The material terms of the Management Performance are set out in Schedule 5. The material terms of the Xped Acquisition are set out in Schedule 2. The Acquisition Shares will rank equally with all Shares on issue at the time of issue.

4.6 Independent Expert Report

The Directors of the Company have commissioned the Independent Expert to prepare a report on the question of whether the Xped Acquisition is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders not associated with the proposal. That report accompanies the Notice.

Shareholders are asked to note that that the Independent Expert’s Report has been prepared by the Independent Expert and the Company does not accept or assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Independent Expert’s Report, other than factual information provided by the Company to the Independent Expert for the purposes of the Independent Expert’s Report.

The Independent Expert has concluded that the terms of the Xped Acquisition are fair and reasonable to the Non-Associated Shareholders of the Company. Summaries of the findings are contained below and further details are contained in the Independent Expert’s Report.

has no track record of generating sustainable
revenues and earnings
The principal business activity will be
clearly focussed on development of the

Explanatory Memorandum

4.7 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

The Xped Key Management, being JK Group and Alanticx, companies controlled by John Schultz and Christopher Wood respectively, are Related Parties of the Company within the definition set out in Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. The issue of Shares to the Xped Key Management is providing a financial benefit to a Related Party.

Whilst there is an exception to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval if the benefit is on arms length terms, given the other approvals that are required to issue the Xped Acquisition Shares and Management Performance Shares to the Xped Key Management and that the Xped Key Management hold 90.6% of all Xped Shares, the Directors have determined that it is appropriate to seek Shareholder approval to the issue of Acquisition Shares and Management Performance Shares to Xped Key Management for the purposes of Chapter 2E Corporations Act.

4.8 Regulatory Requirements for Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

The proposed Resolution 3 (if passed) will confer financial benefits to Xped Key Management, being JK Group and Alanticx Technologies, entities controlled by Mr John Schultz and Mr Christopher Wood, respectively. The Company therefore seeks Shareholder approval in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. For this reason and for all other purposes the following information is provided to Shareholders.

  • (a) The Related Parties to whom the financial benefits are to be given

The proposed financial benefit to be given is to JK Group, an entity controlled by Mr John Schultz and Alanticx Technologies, an entity controlled by Mr Christopher Wood (or their nominees).

  • (b) The nature of the financial benefit to be given

The issue of a total of:

  • (1) 580,112,422 Acquisition Shares; and

  • (2) 150,000,000 Management Performance Shares,

to JK Group and Alanticx Technologies (or their nominees).

  • (c) Interest of Directors

Mr Brendan de Kauwe does not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 3 save for any interest he may have solely in his capacity as a Shareholder which interest he holds in common with the other Non-Associated Shareholders.

Mr Athan Lekkas and Mr Michael Clarke also hold Shares. To the extent that the Directors hold any Shares, their respective percentage holding of Shares may decrease upon completion of the Transaction, in the same proportion as the holding of all other Shareholders. Details regarding the current direct Share interests of each of the Directors, together with details of their holding on completion of the Transaction are set out in Schedule 3.

Mr Athan Lekkas and Mr Michael Clarke have an interest in the outcome of Resolution 3 by reason of their appointment as an executive of the Company being conditional on the passing of the Conditional Resolutions key details of which are set out below:

(e) Valuation

In assessing the fairness of the Xped Acquisition, the Independent Expert has provided a valuation of a Share in the Company (representing the combined Company and Xped groups) post Completion on a minority basis as between $0.02 and $0.03 per Share.

The Acquisition Shares to be issued to the Xped Key Management are in a class of securities that are quoted on ASX and the Management Performance Shares will convert into Shares (being in a class of securities that are quoted on ASX) if the various milestones are met.

Assuming all Management Performance Shares are converted into Shares, the XPed Key Management would hold 730,112,422 Shares in the Company. If the Share valuation range on a post Completion minority basis as determined by the Independent Expert were applied, this would result in these Shares having a theoretical value of between $14,602,248 and $21,903,372.

Details regarding the trading history of the Company’s Shares during the past 12 months are set out below in paragraph (f). If the last trading price of the Shares prior to 15 January 2016 ($0.034) was applied, the 730,112,422 Shares would have a theoretical value of $24,823,822.

  • (f) Trading history

In the 12 months prior to 15 January 2016, the Company’s trading history is as follows:

Description Date Share Price
High 30 November 2015 0.058
Low 20 June 2015 0.003
Last 14 January 2016 0.034

(g) Opportunity Costs

The opportunity costs and benefits foregone by the Company issuing the Acquisition Shares and Management Performance Shares to the Xped Key Management is the potentially dilutionary impact on the issued share capital of the Company. These are outlined in paragraphs 3.3.

Schedule 3 highlights the dilutionary effect on the Company’s capital following the issue of Acquisition Shares and the Management Performance Shares to the Xped Key Management.

(h) Taxation Consequences

The Company is responsible for the payment of any stamp duty on the HOA. The Company presently estimates that there will be nil stamp duty on the HOA.

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 41 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

No further stamp duty should be payable in respect of the issue of the Acquisition Shares or Management Performance Shares. No GST should be payable by the Company in respect of the issue of the Acquisition Shares or Management Performance Shares (or if it is then it will be recoverable as an input credit).

  • (i) Dilutionary Effect

If all of the Acquisition Shares and Management Performance Shares are issued to the Xped Shareholders, the effect on the current issued capital of the Company will be as shown in Schedule 3. Schedule 3 also outlines the potential dilutionary effect if all Management Performance Shares are converted into Shares.

  • (j) Any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision and that is known to the Company or any of its Directors.

Save as set out in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors are not aware of any other information that will be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to the benefits contemplated by Resolution 3.

Directors Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

8. Resolution 7 - Adoption of Constitution

Resolution 7 is a Special Resolution and seeks Shareholder approval to repeal the current constitution of the Company ( Existing Constitution ) and replace it with a new constitution for the Company ( New Constitution ). The Existing Constitution has not been comprehensively updated since 21 June 2007. In light of various changes to the applicable regulatory requirements (including the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules), as well as developments in corporate governance practices for ASX listed companies, your directors believe that it is appropriate to revise and update the Constitution in various ways. The proposed changes affect a range of provisions in the Constitution. Your directors therefore consider it more efficient to adopt the New Constitution rather than approving numerous amendments to the Existing Constitution.

Section 136(2) of the Corporations Act provides that a company can only modify its constitution by a special resolution. Resolution 7 is a Special Resolution and as such must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.

A copy of the New Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website www.rayagroup.com.au and at the office of the Company. A copy of the New Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary on 03 9642 0655. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

In accordance with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Company provides the following information to Shareholders when considering the approval of the New Constitution.

There are a number of key practical differences between the Existing Constitution and the New Constitution to be adopted. Capitalised terms that are not defined within this Explanatory Memorandum are as defined in the New Constitution. These key practical differences are outlined in Schedule 7.

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Page 46 of 78

Explanatory Memorandum

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 7 because it considers the changes to the Company’s constitution are appropriate in the context of the change in the nature of the Company’s business activities as part of the Transaction.

9. Resolution 8 - Change of Company Name

Section 157 of the Corporations Act requires the Company to pass a Special Resolution in order to adopt a new name. The Directors have recommended to the Shareholders that, subject to their approval, the passing of the Conditional Resolutions and completing the Xped Acquisition, the name of the Company be changed to "Xped Limited". As a Special Resolution, this Resolution must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on this Resolution.

The Directors believe that the name of the Company needs to change as a result of the Company's proposed change in business activities as a result of completing the Xped Acquisition.

Mr Brendan de Kauwe recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the name change to reflect the proposed future direction of the business of the Company.

Mr Athan Lekkas and Mr Michael Clarke do not make a recommendation in respect of this Resolution as each are interested in the outcome of this Resolution by reason of their appointment as an executive of the Company being conditional on the passing of this Resolution.

10. Resolution 9 - Approval of ESOP

10.1 Introduction

The Company proposes to adopt an employee share and option plan ( ESOP ) pursuant to which issued capital of the Company may be made available to directors, senior management and staff as a form of longer term equity incentive.

Pursuant to Resolution 9, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the ESOP and approval for any potential future issue of securities under the Company’s ESOP as an exception under Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9(b) to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

While the Company does not have a formal employee share and option plan, the Company has previously issued Shares and Options to directors and employees. The number of Options issued, the strike price of Options issued and all other relevant terms have been set having regard to the person’s position in the Company and level of experience.

Over the past three years, the Company has issued to directors and employees:

  • (a) 35,000,000 listed Options; and

  • (b) 65,750,000 Shares.

Approval of the ESOP is therefore sought under exception 9 to Listing Rule 7.2 so that any issue of securities under the ESOP over the next 3 years is disregarded when determining the 15% threshold of the Company.

A summary of the ESOP is set out in Schedule 8 to this Notice of Meeting.

10.2 Directors Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 9 because it considers the issue of securities under the ESOP will constitute an effective incentive to

Raya Group Limited – EGM 040316

Explanatory Memorandum

eligible participants to improve the performance of the Company. Additionally, the Company believes it to be in the best interests of the Company to preserve the maximum commercial flexibility to issue Shares that is afforded to it by Listing Rule 7.1.

11. Resolution 10 - Ratification of Placement Shares

11.1 Background

On or about 10 November 2015, the Company entered into the Placement Agreement pursuant to which the Company issued and alloted 30,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 to JAY-V Inc, an unrelated sophisticated investor on 11 November 2015 ( Placement Agreement ). As announced by the Company on 30 November 2015, the Placement Shares are subject to voluntary escrow restrictions until the Re-admission Date and are in a holding lock subject to ASX’s escrow treatment until the Re-admission Date. Under the terms of the Placement Agreement, a further 10,000,000 Shares for no further cash consideration were required to be issued to JAY-V Inc , subject to Shareholder approval, however, the Company has agreed with JAY-V Inc that these Shares will no longer be issued.

11.2

Ratification of Placement Shares

The Company issued the Placement Shares to JAY-V Inc, an unrelated sophisticated investor to raise $600,000 at an issue price of $0.02 per Share on 11 November 2015.

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.4, Shareholder approval is sought pursuant to Resolution 10 to ratify the issue and allotment of the Placement Shares, being issues of securities made by the Company on 11 November 2015 for which shareholder approval has not already been obtained.

If Resolution 10 is approved it will have the effect of refreshing the Company’s ability, to the extent of the Placement Shares, to issue further capital during the next 12 months pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 without the need to obtain further Shareholder approval (subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act). If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be counted toward the 15% limit pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of 12 months from the date of issue.

11.3 Listing Rule 7.4

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5 the Company provides the following information:

  • (a) the number of Placement Shares issued was 30,000,000 Shares;

  • (b) the Placement Shares were issued at $0.02 per Share;

  • (c) the Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally with all Shares on issue at the time of issue;

  • (d) the Placement Shares were issued to JAY-V Inc, an unrelated sophisticated investor, being a strategic Asian based technology investor; and

  • (e) the funds raised from the issue of the Placement Shares have been and will be applied in meeting usual due diligence, transaction and other costs associated with completion of the Xped Acquisition.

  1. Exclusivity

Under the Heads of Agreement, each of Xped and the Xped Majority Shareholders have agreed that:

  • (a) they will not participate in any negotiations or discussions with, or provide any information to, or accept or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, any third parties in respect of a transaction that may reduce the likelihood of success of the transactions contemplated by the Heads of Agreement and will also cease any existing discussions or negotiations regarding such transactions;

  • (b) they will not engage with any other third party in connection with the sale of all or any of the Xped Shares, or any of Xped’s business, assets or undertaking;

  • (c) they will immediately notify Raya of any approach or attempt to initiate discussions or negotiations regarding any transaction or an interest in Xped Shares, or other business, assets or undertaking of Xped and provide to Raya details of that proposal including its material terms, which shall include the proposed price or implied value, conditions and timing; and

In consideration of the grant of exclusivity, Raya agrees that if Completion does not occur for any reason, including in particular where the capital raising Condition Precedent is not met by the End Date (being 26 March 2016 or such later date as agreed by the Parties), but other than where failure of Completion is due to a default or breach by the Xped Shareholders, then Raya will provide funding of at least $300,000 in Xped upon written notice from Xped, by subscribing for new fully paid ordinary shares in Xped at an issue price of $0.12 per share.

To secure Raya’s obligations to provide this funding, Raya has agreed to provide, and has provided, to Xped an unconditional and irrevocable bank guarantee for the benefit of Xped being for an amount of $300,000. If Raya fails in its obligations to provide this funding, then Xped may in its discretion, and Raya authorises Xped to, appropriate and apply such bank guarantee towards subscribing for new fully paid ordinary shares in Xped on Raya’s behalf for the purposes of this clause.

Further, Raya has agreed that as of the date the Heads of Agreement was executed, the Company will make available a line of credit facility of $250,000 to Xped for working capital purposes to be drawn down by Xped upon written notice and approval from Raya. If Completion does not occur for any reason including, in particular, where the capital raising condition precedent is not met by the End Date (but other than where failure of Completion is due to a default or breach by the Xped Shareholders), then Raya agrees to convert any drawn down outstanding balance of such credit facility into equity by accepting the issue of new fully paid ordinary shares in Xped at an issue price of $0.12 per share, in full and final settlement of any obligation to repay such drawn down outstanding credit facility balance. As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, Xped has drawn down a total of $33,050 under this facility.

1 The Black-Scholes pricing model was used for the EAS Options and the Black-Scholes pricing model adjusted for hurdle price to incorporate market capitalisation hurdles was used for the Management Performance Shares.

The volatility of 80% was selected having regard to a range of factors including:

  • it is not possible to observe a volatility figure directly corresponding to the EAS Options and Management Performance Shares from market data;

  • while share trading in Raya has been liquid since the announcement of the proposed transaction on 26 October 2015, it is not a sufficient period of time to calculate volatility for a daily volatility figure based on the stock movement;

  • the company comprising Raya and Xped will have a unique IoT technology making it more difficult to identify comparable companies in which to infer a volatility figure from;

Notice of Meeting - Raya Group Limited - 25 01 16 (final).docx

Page 69 of 78

  • Raya has listed Options which can be used to calculate an implied volatility. While it is difficult to get the actual implied volatility for each individual trade (which would require the underlying share value and option value at the exact moment in time), the implied volatility was calculated having regard to the closing price of the Options and underlying Shares in addition to the average high/low price of the Options and underlying Shares. The results of this analysis for Options traded from 26 October 2015 to 20 January 2016 is summarised in the tables below. In considering the data we note that there were a number of trades with a 0% volatility figure which arose as the value of an Option + exercise price was less than the value of a Share. Volatility was considered both including and excluding these values.

Schedule 7 - Key Practical Differences in the New Constitution

The key practical differences between the Existing Constitution and the New Constitution to be adopted are outlined below. Capitalised terms that are not defined within this Explanatory Memorandum are as defined in the New Constitution.

  1. Rule 3 provides for the Directors of the Company to determine the Registered Office of the Company at all times.

  2. Rule 5 specifically provides for the issue of preference shares of the Company as well as shares with deferred or qualified rights to Dividends or in the distribution of assets of the Company. The rule goes on to provide for the rights of preference shareholders of the Company.

  3. Rule 6 provides the Company with the ability to issue performance shares to any employee, director, officer or consultant of the Company (or their nominee) where the recipient of those performance shares agrees to be bound by Rule 6 and Rule 7 of the new constitution. It sets out a number of rights attaching to those performance shares and provides for amendment of those rights of performance shares as required by the ASX. The current constitution does not provide for the issue of performance shares.

  4. Rule 7 provides for the conversion of performance shares into ordinary shares of the Company. The performance shares shall only convert into ordinary shares upon satisfaction of the performance criteria aligned with those performance shares. The conversion rate will be on the basis of one performance share for every one ordinary share unless specified otherwise by the Board. Once converted, the ordinary shares will rank equally with other ordinary shares and have the same rights as ordinary shares. If the performance criteria are not met by the end date for satisfaction of that criteria, all the performance shares will convert into one ordinary share.

  5. Rule 10 provides that a person who becomes a Member of the Company agrees to observe and perform the provisions of the Constitution or by-laws made under the Constitution.

  6. Rule 11 changes the quorum for a Class Meeting of shareholders to be persons holding or representing 25% of the issued Shares of the class whereas the previous Constitution required a quorum of 2 persons to hold or represent one-third of the issued shares of the class.

  7. Rule 13 imposes additional obligations upon the Company with respect to share certificates including the issue, renewal, cancellation and replacement of share certificates.

  8. Rule 14 results in any transferor of a share with a lien imposed on such share remaining liable to the Company for all money which was payable to the Company in respect of the share despite the Share being transferred.

  9. Rule 15 imposes an obligation upon the holder of a share to produce the share certificate to the Directors where their shareholding, which was the subject of a lien, has been sold and that should the holder fail to produce the certificate, the Directors may cancel the share certificate.

  10. Rule 16 alters the information that is to be included in a notice to members for any call made on shares by Directors. This rule also reduces the interest rate being imposed upon late payment to be limited to 1% per annum in excess of the Prime Rate. Finally, Rule 16 contemplates an action by the Company against a Member for recovery of any money payable on any allotment or Shares or due to any call or instalment in respect of any Shares.

  11. Rule 17 requires a resolution of the Directors resolving to forfeit Shares the subject of any Call Notices that are not complied with by the Relevant Day. Any residue from the sale of any forfeited Shares after being appropriately applied by the Company is to be returned to the Member of the forfeited Share. The Directors are permitted to accept a surrender of any

Notice of Meeting - Raya Group Limited - 25 01 16 (final).docx

Page 71 of 78

Shares by way of compromise of any questions as to the holder being properly registered in respect of the Share.

  1. Rule 18 provides a specific form for Share transfers that are not by way of ASTC Regulated Transfer.

  2. Rule 20 provides for the Company to maintain transfer books and a Register of Members as well as notify the ASX of any record date fixed by the Directors.

  3. Rule 21 provides that the Company may in a Meeting to increase the share capital, consolidate the share capital, subdivide the share capital or cancel Shares that have been forfeited and not taken up by any other person.

  4. Rule 22 provides the Company with the power, in accordance with the Corporations Act, to reduce its share capital.

  5. Rule 23 does not require the Company to state in the AGM materials that the AGM includes the declaration of a Dividend, consideration of Financial Statements and the reports of the Directors and Auditors, the election of Directors in the place of those retiring by rotation or the appointment and fixing of the remuneration of the Auditors of the Company.

  6. Rule 24 alters the impact of the Company failing to achieve a quorum at a meeting of its Members by requiring an adjourned meeting to be held on the same day at the same time and place in the following week, with the current position being at the discretion of the Directors. Rule 24 further alters the consequences of failing to achieve a quorum at a meeting of its Members by allowing the adjourned meeting to proceed with those Members present if a quorum is not met within the first 30 minutes of the adjourned meeting. The current position requires the adjourned meeting to be dissolved unless at least 2 Members are present. Finally, Rule 24 reduces the time in which a quorum must be present to 15 minutes from the time appointed for the Meeting from the current position of 30 minutes.

  7. Rule 26 provides the Chairman of a Meeting of the Members of the Company with additional powers and responsibility with respect to the Meeting.

  8. Rule 27 alters the notice requirements for any adjourned Meeting of the Members of the Company. Any Meeting of the Members of the Company adjourned for 14 days or more requires seven days notice of the new date, time and place for the Meeting.

  9. Rule 31 provides that where a Member has appointed two proxies neither proxy will be entitled to participate in a vote by a show of hands.

  10. Rule 32 permits Members to appoint an attorney to attend, act and vote at any of the Meetings of the Members of the Company on behalf of that Member. The rule stipulates the requirements for the appointment, certain powers of the attorney, and the priority of a power of attorney given for value.

  11. Rule 33 provides for a Corporate Representative to be appointed, and the need to deposit proxy forms and any power of attorney with the Company.

  12. Rule 35 reduces the maximum number of directors of the Company to nine from ten.

  13. Rule 36 removes the prohibition on a director being over 72 years of age.

  14. Rule 37 provides for the removal of a Director of the Company who is also a shareholder of the Company, should that Director fail to pay any call within four weeks from the date such call is made payable.

Notice of Meeting - Raya Group Limited - 25 01 16 (final).docx

Page 72 of 78

  1. Rule 38 ensures that where a person has been appointed to the position of Director to replace a removed Director, that person so appointed shall only hold office as Director until such time as the removed Director would have continued to hold office had they not been removed.

  2. Rule 39 permits Directors of the Company to hold any other office or place of profit other than that of Auditor of the Company. No partner, employer or employee of the Auditor of the Company is eligible to be appointed or elected as Director or Alternate Director.

  3. Rule 40 prevents a single resolution appointing two or more persons to be Directors unless a separate resolution allowing that single resolution to be made has been passed and nominations for election to the office of Director will be accepted up to 30 Business Days prior to the date of a general Meeting at which the Directors will be elected or re-elected.

  4. Rule 41 contemplates the potential for the Company and any subsidiaries of the Company to pay Directors’ fees. It also provides that the Directors are prohibited from fixing or paying a salary or allowance that would exceed the total amount of directors’ fees payable and any provision for payment to a retiring director is to be disclosed to the Company at a meeting prior to the retirement.

  5. Rule 42 allows for Directors to hold directorships in other companies except those companies in active competition with the Company.

  6. Rule 43 removes Alternate Directors should the Director appointing them be removed, provides that Alternate Directors are responsible to the Company for their own acts and defaults and provides for the notice to be used for appointment of an Alternate Director.

  7. Rule 44 permits Directors to appoint Associate Directors and further operative provisions with respect to the powers and obligations of any Associate Directors that are appointed.

  8. Rule 46 provides for the Chairman of Directors to have a casting vote in the case of an equality of votes, when more than 2 Directors, including the Chairman, are present at the Directors meeting.

  9. Rule 47 with respect to meetings of Directors provides that there is no requirement for the Directors to appoint a Chairman; this is now at the discretion of the Directors. The Rule removes the ability to appoint a deputy Chairman.

  10. Rule 49 removes the requirement for a committee established by the Directors to have a Director as one of its members.

  11. Rule 51 prohibits the Company from making any regulation which would have the effect of invalidating any prior act of the Directors validly made.

  12. Rule 56 allows Directors to make provision for management and transaction of the Company and its affairs in any place in Australia or elsewhere and to establish local boards, managers, branches or agencies for this purpose. There are a number of operative provisions detailed in the remainder of the Rule.

  13. Rule 58 details the different abilities for execution of Company documents by Directors and other authorised signatories as well as the means of mechanically affixing a signature for execution of a company document.

  14. Rule 60 provides for the possibility of an assistant Company Secretary.

  15. Rule 61 allows the Company to appoint a public officer, as well as removal of that person and appointment of another to the position.

  1. Rule 64 requires the Company to provide Members with a copy of any Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Summary of its Terms. The rule also provides for a Notice of Election to forego any cash Dividend as part of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Finally, the Directors are unable to adopt a Dividend Reinvestment Plan unless the Company passes a resolution at a Meeting of its Members to approve the adoption of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

  2. Rule 65 provides for Dividends to be made by way of an in-specie distribution of assets. This provision is consistent with the recent changes made to the Constitution of the Company at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 24 September 2015.

  3. Rule 66 in providing for employee bonuses and employee schemes removes the requirement for ordinary resolution approval of the Members of the Company.

  4. Rule 67 imposes a requirement upon the Company to pass a resolution at a Meeting of its Members prior to the capitalisation of any profit. The Directors must perform the capitalisation in accordance with the resolution passed by the Members and any results of payment or distribution by the Company are binding upon the Members of the Company. The Rule also provides for a Capital redemption fund.

  5. Rule 69 requires the Company to attach to every Financial Report a Directors’ Report.

  6. Rule 70 requires the Company to send the Financial Report and such other material that comprises the Annual Report of the Company either 21 days prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting of the Company for that year or four months after the end of the relevant financial year. It also subjects the Company to all reporting obligations found in the ASX Listing Rules.

  7. Rule 71 provides for where the records and accounts must be kept by the Company and when a Member of the Company shall be entitled to inspect the records and accounts being, if they are a Director, as provided by the Corporations Act, as authorised by Directors, or by a resolution of the Company at a Meeting of its Members.

  8. Rule 72 provides that every account of the Company when audited and approved by a Meeting shall be conclusive.

  9. Rule 73 imposes a requirement upon the Auditor of the Company to report to the Members of the Company at a Meeting and prohibits a Director, Officer, partner, employee, employer of a Director or Officer and others from being an Auditor of the Company.

  10. Rule 74 permits the Company to undertake a buy-back of the Company’s securities to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act and in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

  11. Rule 76 allows the Board to determine the manner in which fractional entitlements or any difficulties relating to distribution and adjustment of the rights of Members are to be dealt with.

  12. Rule 78 allows Members of the Company to request a suspension of full notice rights and alternatively request for full notice rights in relation to notices of the Company.

  13. Rule 79 prohibits any Member who is not a director from being entitled to receive any information concerning the business, trading or customers of the Company or any trade secret or secret process of the Company. The rule also contemplates the need for Directors, managers, trustee or Members to sign a declaration pledging strict secrecy with respect to any and all confidential information of the Company. The rule contains further operative provisions in this regard.

  14. Rule 80 shortens the time period in which receipt of notices by Members is deemed to have occurred if posted to the day after posting from the current position of three days after posting.
