3. FINANCIAL REPORTS
The Corporations Act requires the annual Financial Report, Directors' Report, and the Auditor's Report to be received and considered at the AGM. A copy of the Annual Report can be accessed online at http://www.opendna.ai.
The Corporations Act does not require Shareholders to vote on the Annual Report. However, Shareholders attending the AGM will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the financial statements and reports contained within the Annual Report.
The Company's auditor, HLB Mann Judd, will be present at the Meeting and Shareholders will have the opportunity to ask the auditor questions in relation to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report, the Company's accounting policies and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
4. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF THE REMUNERATION REPORT
The Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2019 contains the Remuneration Report which:
-
(a) sets out the remuneration policy for the Company;
-
(b) discusses the relationship between the remuneration policy and the Company's performance; and
-
(c) details the remuneration arrangements of Key Management Personnel, including the Managing Director, senior executives and non-executive Directors.
The Remuneration Report is contained within the Directors' Report in the Company's Annual Report (pages 9 to 19) and can be found in the annual report section of the website at http://www.opendna.ai.
Voting on the adoption of the Remuneration Report is for advisory purposes only and will not bind the Directors or the Company. The Chair will allow reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about, or comment on, the Remuneration Report at the meeting.
Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that the vote on the adoption of the Remuneration Report is for advisory purposes only and will not bind the Directors of the Company. However, under the Corporations Act if there are two consecutive votes at annual general meetings of the Company against the Company’s remuneration report of 25% or more (each year's votes being considered a Strike ), at the second consecutive annual general meeting at which a Strike occurs ( Second Strike ), a resolution must be put to Shareholders to hold another meeting where each Director is nominated for re-election ( Spill Resolution ). If the Spill Resolution is passed, then the Company is required to hold an additional general meeting ( Further Meeting ) within 90 days of the Spill Resolution. At the Further Meeting all Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must be nominated for re-election.
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
Section 250R(4) of the Corporations Act prohibits any votes on this Resolution being cast by Key Management Personnel (or their associates) whose remuneration details are disclosed in the Remuneration Report. However, an exception to this prohibition exists to enable the Chair to vote Shareholders' undirected proxy votes. In this regard, you should specifically note that if you appoint the Chair as your proxy and you indicate on the Proxy Form you do not wish to specify how the Chair should vote on Resolution 1, the Chair will cast your votes in favour of Resolution 1. If you wish to appoint the Chair as your proxy but do NOT want your votes to be cast in favour of Resolution 1, you must indicate your voting intention by marking either 'against' or 'abstain' against Resolution 1 in the Proxy Form.
5. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF MR EVAN CROSS AS A DIRECTOR
Clause 11.3 of the Constitution requires that at each annual general meeting of the Company, one third of the Directors (to the nearest whole number), must retire from office. Clause 11.4 provides that a retiring Director is eligible for re-election.

Pursuant to clause 11.11 of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive plan entitled “Incentive Option Plan” ( IOP ) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).
As set out in section 7.2 above, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the IOP as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Options under the IOP to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12-month period.
The IOP was first established at the time of the Company’s admission to the ASX in November 2016, and accordingly the Company is seeking approval of the IOP at the Meeting to issue Options under the IOP to eligible participants over a period of 3 years from the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that, as at the date of this Notice:
-
3,000,000 Options have previously been issued under the IOP;
-
No Options have been converted into Shares issued to their recipients;
-
3,000,000 Options have vested but remain unconverted into Shares; and
-
No Options remain unvested.
The objective of the IOP is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the IOP and the future issue of Shares under the IOP will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
Any future issues of Shares under the IOP to a related party or a person whose relationship with the company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
A summary of the key terms and conditions of the IOP is set out in Schedule 2. In addition, a copy of the IOP is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the IOP can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
A voting exclusion statement has been included for the purposes of Resolution 7.
11. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS PLAN
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme entitled “Performance Rights Plan” ( Plan ) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the Plan as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Performance Rights under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12-month period.
This is the first time the Plan is being approved by Shareholders and there have been no issues under the Plan to date.
The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Shares under the Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
Any future issues of Shares under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 1. In addition, a copy of the Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
A voting exclusion statement has been included for the purposes of Resolution 8.
12. RESOLUTION 9 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Directors have determined to change the Company name to RooLife Group Ltd. The Directors are of the view that the proposed name change better reflects the Company’s identity in the markets within which it operates, and will assist in further expanding into those markets.
The Directors are of the view that the Company, with its Artificial Intelligence driven Digital Marketing and e-Commerce offering, is better positioned with a business name that aligns with the complete range of products and services offered and which avoids confusion as to its core offerings, as has often been the case when management and the Directors have presented on the Company’s operations.
Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the change of name in accordance with section 157 of the Corporations Act.
Resolution 9 is a special resolution.
The change of name of the Company will take effect from when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.
13. RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY
13.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity as at the time of this Notice of Meeting and expects to be so at the date of the Meeting.
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 13.2(c) below).
The Company intends to use the consideration from any Shares issued under the 10% Placement Facility for the purposes of accelerating the development of the Company’s business and for general working capital.
The Board believes the 10% Placement Facility is beneficial for the Company as it will give the Company the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 10% of the Company’s Share capital during the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Directors of the Company believe Resolution 10 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
13.2 Requirements under Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
(b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue two classes of quoted Equity Securities, being Shares (ASX Code: OPN) and Options (ASX Code: OPNO).
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
A is the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;
-
(iv) less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note: A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
-
D
-
is 10%.
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 272,497,036 Shares. If Resolution 11 is passed, the Company will be permitted to issue (as at the date of this Notice):
-
(i) 40,874,555 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) 27,249,703 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 13.2(c) above).
(e) Minimum issue price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within five trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(f) 10% placement period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
13.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
(a) The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of the Company’s Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If Resolution 11 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are exercised) to the extent Shareholders do not receive any Shares under the issue. There is a risk:
-
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the AGM; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(c) The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary Shares for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice. The table also shows:
-
(i) two examples, where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples, where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the basis of the following assumptions:
-
(i) the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility;
-
(ii) no Options or performance shares (including any Options or performance shares issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;
-
(iii) the 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%;
-
(iv) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting;
-
(v) the table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1;
-
(vi) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares;
-
(vii) the issue price is $0.035, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 16 October 2019; and
-
(viii) the table does not reflect any securities to be issued as a result of other Resolutions being passed at the Meeting if any.
-
(d) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
-
(e) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including, but not limited to, the following:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
-
(f) The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2018 Annual General Meeting ( Previous Approval ). The Company has issued 20,687,413 Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval. During the 12 month period preceding the proposed date of the 2019 AGM, being on and from 29 November 2018, the Company otherwise issued a total of 149,200,988 Shares, 88,724,307 Listed Options and 30,566,191 Performance Shares which represents approximately 156.05% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company as at 29 November 2018, which was 172,046,048.
