E X P L A N ATO R Y NOTE S
These Explanatory Notes relate to the Resolutions set out in the Notice of General Meeting.
1. BACKGROUND TO THE RESOLUTIONS
On 14 February 2020, the Company announced that it was undertaking a review of its operations and financial situation due to the Company’s trial farm crop failure (see ASX announcement dated 20 December 2019) as well as other market conditions which were out of the Company’s control (i.e. the drop in the CBD hemp price and increasing wage pressure) ( Restructure ).
On 23 March 2020, the Company announced that it had undertaken the following steps pursuant to the Restructure:
-
(i) debt to equity conversions pursuant to a convertible note conversion deed with Atlas Capital Markets;
-
(ii) debt to equity conversions pursuant to convertible note conversion deeds with Mr Steve Wakefield and Mr Stephen Silver;
-
(iii) short term loan agreement with Boswell Prayer Limited;
-
(iv) availability of future funding from the Atlas Placement Facility; and
-
(v) review of the Company’s operations in the Pacific North West agronomy, farm management and agtech, Oregon Hemp and its regional offices.
The debt to equity conversions form a critical element of the Restructure. If Shareholders approve the Resolutions put forward at this Meeting, it will remove $US4,032,073.79 of senior secured debt and $A350,000 of short-term funding from the Company’s balance sheet, reducing the Company’s liabilities and increase the Company’s ability to raise further capital.
Under the terms of the convertible notes issued to Atlas, a suspension of trading in the Company’s securities of more than 5 days is an event of default. Pursuant to the Atlas Conversion Deed (defined below), Atlas Capital Markets has agreed to release and discharge the Company from any claims it may have under the terms of the convertible notes subject to the Company complying with its obligations under the Atlas Conversion Deed, including the issue of Shares to Atlas Capital Markets on conversion of the outstanding debt owed.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, there is a risk that Atlas Capital Markets may declare the outstanding amount owed by the Company to Atlas Capital Markets as immediately due and payable and the Company will need to formulate an alternative strategy with Atlas Capital Markets.
Further details on items (a) to (d) are set out in Section 1 below.

The Company has also agreed to issue further Shares to Atlas Capital Markets as consideration for entering into the Atlas Conversion Deed ( Atlas True-Up Shares ). The Atlas True-Up Shares (details of which can also be found in Schedule 1) will be subject to Shareholder approval at a meeting of Shareholders which will be held in due course.

A summary of the Short-Term Loan Conversion Deeds are detailed in Schedule 2.
The Company has also agreed to issue further Shares to Vily & Hanna Veingold Pty Ltd, Wakefield Holdings Limited and LTL Capital Pty Ltd as consideration for entering into the Veingold Conversion Deed, Wakefield Conversion Deed and LTL Capital Conversion Deed ( Other True-Up Shares ). The Other True-Up Shares (details of which can also be found in Schedule 2) will be subject to Shareholder approval at a meeting of Shareholders which will be held in due course.

A summary of the Boswell Loan Agreement is detailed in Schedule 3.
(e) Atlas Placement Facility
On 20 December 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a subscription agreement for a strategic share placement and a collateral share agreement with Atlas Capital Markets ( Atlas Placement Facility ).
The Atlas Placement Facility provides the Company with access to up to $20,000,000 of standby equity capital over the next 36 months. The Company retains the control over whether or not to utilise the standby equity, the minimum issue price of shares and the timing of each placement tranche. Atlas Capital Markets will subscribe for all or part of the shares set out in a subscription request (but not less than 50% of the shares set out in a subscription request).

Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of 62,490,817 Shares to Atlas Capital Markets.
(f) Reinstatement of the Company’s securities to ASX trading
The Company has been working closely with the ASX, particularly during the preceding weeks, in regards to the impacts of the review and restructure and working towards eventual reinstatement of its securities to ASX trading. In consultation with the ASX the Company has agreed not to seek reinstatement of its securities to ASX trading at this time, but to remain suspended until at least the outcome of the General Meeting is known.
The progress of the restructuring plan to date, including those resolutions proposed at the upcoming General Meeting, are thought to significantly reduce running costs and allow CropLogic the flexibility to consider and potentially take advantage of opportunities and asset acquisitions that can see the Company best apply its
10
agronomy and farm management and agtech expertise. These are seen as prudent measures to the benefit of shareholders considering environmental elements outside of the Company’s control. If shareholder approval is given and the proposed transactions are completed, reinstatement of the Company’s securities to trading on the ASX should not be implied as automatic or as a fait accompli. Following the outcome of this General Meeting the Company will need to engage with the ASX in regards to reinstatement and the Company’s compliance with the Listing Rules, including Listing Rule 12.2, which ASX has confirmed it cannot assess at this time. CropLogic is committed to continuing to work closely with the ASX on this matter.

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 - APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES
2.1. General
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek approval from Shareholders to approve the issue of:
-
(a) such number of Shares to Atlas Capital Markets equal to $US4,032,073.79 multiplied by the exchange rate, the sum of which is then divided by $0.02 ( Atlas Shares ); and
-
(b) 12,500,000 Shares to Vily & Hanna Veingold Pty Ltd ( Veingold Shares ).
Resolutions 1 and 2 are ordinary resolutions.
The Chairman will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
2.2. Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of the Atlas Shares and Veingold Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Atlas Shares and Veingold Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Atlas Shares and Veingold Shares during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.
11
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Atlas Shares and Veingold Shares. The Company is in default under the Note Purchase Agreements. If Resolution 1 is not passed, there is a risk that Atlas Capital Markets may declare the outstanding amount owed by the Company as immediately due and payable and the Company will need to formulate an alternative strategy with Atlas.
2.3. Increase in Voting Power
If Shareholders approve the issue of Atlas Shares, Atlas Capital Markets’ shareholding will increase to approximately 38%%. Atlas Capital Markets will become the Company’s major shareholder.
The Company is a company incorporated and registered in New Zealand. As the Company is not incorporated in Australia, its general corporate activities (apart from any offering of securities in Australia) are generally not regulated by the Corporations Act and ASIC but instead are regulation by New Zealand legislation. The Australian takeovers regime does not apply to the Company as a New Zealand company.
Under the New Zealand Takeovers Code, shareholder approval is required for a shareholder to increase its shareholding through 20%. However, the Company is not a “medium sized” company therefore the New Zealand Takeovers Code will not apply and no shareholder approval or appraisal report is required (equivalent in New Zealand to an Independent Expert’s Report) in respect of the increase in Atlas Capital Markets’ shareholding. Accordingly, the only shareholder approval required for Atlas Capital Markets to increase its shareholding is under the Listing Rules.

Resolution 10 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 10.
6.2. Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 2.2.
The issue of the Atlas Placement Shares does not fall within an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the relevant issue dates.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under that rule. The Company confirms that the issue of the Atlas Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 10 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the ratification of the Atlas Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 10 is passed, the issue of the Atlas Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the relevant issue dates.
If Resolution 10 is not passed, the issue of the Atlas Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of
17
equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the relevant issue dates.
