EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
1. Introduction
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held 10.00am (AEDT) on 6 March 2023 via a web-based portal.
This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with and forms part of the accompanying Notice. The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice.
2. Resolution 1 – Election of Director – Jeffrey Kennett
Listing Rule 14.4 provides that any director of a company appointed as an additional director may hold office until the next annual general meeting of the company and is then eligible for election as a director.
Resolution 1 provides for the election of Jeffrey Kennett who was appointed as an additional Director on 15 December 2022 in the position of Chair and Non-Executive Director of the Company.
Mr Kennett has enjoyed a career spanning more than 40 years in government and commerce. As Premier of Victoria 1992-1999, he drove reform and transformation within the State.
In commerce, Mr Kennett was Director and Chairman of Equity Trustees Limited, a Director of Seven West Media, Chairman of the Advisory Board of PFD Food Services, and is currently Chairman and Director of CT Management Group and continues to occupy leadership roles in a number of unlisted companies.
Mr Kennett is a renowned leader of change, driving key reform and economic recovery through his extensive leadership in politics, business and ‘not-for-profit’ organisations.
He was Founder and Chairman of the mental health organisation beyondblue from 2000-2017, and is Chairman of The Torch, an organisation that works with incarcerated Indigenous men and women.
Mr Kennett served as President of the Hawthorn Football Club from 2005 until 2011, and from 2017 until 2022, stepping down at the end of his second term at the AGM on 13 December 2022.
The Board (excluding Mr Kennett who declines to make a recommendation based on his interest in the outcome of Resolution 1) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
3. Resolution 2 – Approval to change company name
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to change the Company’s name from “The Food Revolution Group Limited” to “The Original Juice Co Limited”.
The Directors consider the proposed change in the Company’s name is desirable because it represents the strong 30 year history of our core products that have been produced and shared with Australian families and consumers.
4
Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name by passing a special resolution adopting the new name.
Resolution 3 is a special resolution and requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company’s name will be changed from “The Food Revolution Group Limited” to “The Original Juice Co Limited” with effect from the date that ASIC alters the Company’s registration.
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
4. Resolution 3 – Consolidation of capital
Background
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to consolidate its issued capital through the consolidation of every four Shares into one Share and every four Options into one Option ( Consolidation ).
Under section 254H of the Corporations Act, the Company may convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number of shares by ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting.
This section of the Explanatory Statement provides the information required by Listing Rule 7.20 to be provided to Shareholders in relation to the Consolidation.
Purpose of the Consolidation
The Company currently has a large number of Shares on issue (946,761,854 Shares as at the date of this Explanatory Statement). The Consolidation will result in a more appropriate and effective capital structure for the Company and is intended to result in a Share price more appealing to a wider range of investors.
Effect of the Consolidation
Effect on capital structure
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the effect that the Consolidation would have on the Company’s capital structure is set out in the table below:
| Capital Structure | Shares | Options* |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Consolidation | 946,761,854 | 111,071,427 |
| Post-Consolidation (if Resolution 3 is passed)** | 236,690,464 | 27,767,857 |
Notes:
** Assumes that no Options are exercised into Shares.
** Subject to rounding.
Shares
If Resolution 3 is approved, every four Shares on issue will be consolidated into one Share (subject to rounding).
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, this will result in the number of shares currently on issue reducing from 946,761,854 to 236,690,464 (subject to rounding).
Options
If the Consolidation is approved, the Options will be reorganised in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Options and Listing Rule 7.22.1 on the basis that the number of Options will be consolidated in the same ratio as the Consolidation of Shares and the exercise price will be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.
The following tables set out the effect of the Consolidation will have on the terms of the Options:
5
Options – Pre-Consolidation
| Terms | Number |
|---|---|
| Unlisted Options at $0.06, expiring 06/04/2023 | 38,571,427 |
| Unlisted Options at $0.06, expiring 17/12/2023 | 20,000,000 |
| Unlisted Options at $0.06, expiring 30/03/2024 | 7,500,000 |
| Unlisted Options at $0.037, expiring 30/06/2024 | 5,000,000 |
| Unlisted Options at $0.037, expiring 30/06/2025 | 40,000,000 |
Options – Post-Consolidation
| Terms | Number |
|---|---|
| Unlisted Options at $0.24, expiring 06/04/2023 | 9,642,857 |
| Unlisted Options at $0.24, expiring 17/12/2023 | 5,000,000 |
| Unlisted Options at $0.24, expiring 30/03/2024 | 1,875,000 |
| Unlisted Options at $0.148, expiring 30/06/2024 | 1,250,000 |
| Unlisted Options at $0.148, expiring 30/06/2025 | 10,000,000 |
Notes: * Subject to rounding.
The Consolidation will not result in any change in the substantive rights and obligations of existing holders of Options.
Fractional entitlements
Where the Consolidation results in an entitlement to a fraction of a security, that fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole security.
Holding statements
With effect from the date of the Consolidation, all existing holding statements will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of securities on a post Consolidation basis. New holding statements will be issued to security holders, who are encouraged to check their holdings after the Consolidation.
Taxation
The Consolidation should not result in a capital gains tax event for Australian tax residents. The cost base of the Shares held after the Consolidation will be the sum of the cost bases of the original Shares preConsolidation. The acquisition date of Shares held after the Share Consolidation will be the same as the date on which the original Shares were acquired.
This Explanatory Statement does not consider the tax implications in respect of Shares or other securities held on revenue account, as trading stock or by non-Australian resident Shareholders. Shareholders should consider their own circumstances and seek professional advice in relation to their tax position. Neither the Company nor any of its officers or employees assumes any liability or responsibility for advising Shareholders or other security holders about the tax consequences of the proposed
6
Consolidation.

If approved by Shareholders, the proposed Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the following indicative timetable (which has been prepared in accordance with Appendix 7A (paragraph 7) of the ASX Listing Rules).

Schedule 2 – Summary of Food Revolution Group Employee Incentive Plan

Eligible Participant means a person who is a full-time or part-time employee, officer, or contractor of the Company, or an Associated Body Corporate, or such other person who has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
The Company will seek Shareholder approval for Director and related party participation in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
2. Purpose
The purpose of the Plan is to:
-
(a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
-
(b) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and
-
(c) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
3. Plan administration
The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
4. Eligibility, invitation and application
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.
On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.
If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.
5. Grant of Securities
The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
6. Terms of Convertible Securities
Each “Convertible Security” represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
9
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them unless otherwise determined by the Board. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.
7. Vesting of Convertible Securities
Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
8. Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise
To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Security (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice.
An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
9. Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities
As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
10. Forfeiture of Convertible Securities
Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.
Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly; committed an act which has brought the Company, the Group or any entity within the Group into disrepute, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group or where a Participant is convicted of an offence in connection with the affairs of the Group; or has a judgment entered against him or her in any civil proceedings in respect of the contravention by the Participant of his or her duties at law, in equity or under statute, in his or her capacity as an employee, consultant or officer of the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
10
Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:
-
(a) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and
-
(b) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation or vesting notice.
11.
Change of control
If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event provided that, in respect of Convertible Securities, the maximum number of Convertible Securities (that have not yet been exercised) that the Board may determine will vest and be exercisable into Shares under this Rule is that number of Convertible Securities that is equal to 10% of the Shares on issue immediately following vesting under this Rule, which as far as practicable will be allocated between holders on a pro-rata basis on the basis of their holdings of Convertible Securities on the date of determination of vesting.
12. Rights attaching to Plan Shares
All Shares issued or transferred under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
13. Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares
If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:
-
(a) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or
-
(b) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.
14.
Adjustment of Convertible Securities
If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
11
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
15. Participation in new issues
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
16. Compliance with applicable law
No Security may be offered, grated, vested or exercised if to do so would contravene any applicable law. In particular, the Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an invitation, that the total number of Plan Shares that may be issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities offer when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made at any time during the previous three year period under:
-
(a) an employee incentive scheme of the Company; or
-
(b) an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme,
would exceed 5% (or such other maximum permitted under any applicable law) of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the invitation.
17. Amendment of Plan
Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
18. Plan duration
The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
19. Income Tax Assessment Act
The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act).

THE FOOD REVOLUTION GROUP LIMITED - GENERAL MEETING
The Company has determined that Shareholders will only be able to attend and participate in the Meeting through an online platform provided by Advanced Share Registry.
To facilitate such participation, voting on each Resolution will occur by a poll rather than a show of hands.
A live webcast and electronic voting via www.advancedshare.com.au/virtual-meeting will be offered to allow Shareholders to attend the Meeting and vote online. Please refer to the Meeting ID and Shareholder ID on the proxy form to login to the website. Shareholders may submit questions ahead of the Meeting via the portal.
HOW TO COMPLETE THIS SHAREHOLDER PROXY FORM
CHANGE OF ADDRESS
This form shows your address as it appears on Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes.
APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY
If you wish to appoint the Chair as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.
DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING
If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chair of the Meeting.
VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any resolution by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct them how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chair may vote as they see fit on that resolution.
APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY
You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
-
(a) on each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and
-
(b) return both forms together.
COMPLIANCE WITH LISTING RULE 14.11
In accordance to Listing Rule 14.11, if you hold shares on behalf of another person(s) or entity/entities or you are a trustee, nominee, custodian or other fiduciary holder of the shares, you are required to ensure that the person(s) or entity/entities for which you hold the shares are not excluded from voting on resolutions where there is a voting exclusion. Listing Rule 14.11 requires you to receive written confirmation from the person or entity providing the voting instruction to you and you must vote in accordance with the instruction provided.
By lodging your proxy votes, you confirm to the company that you are in compliance with Listing Rule 14.11.
CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES
If a representative of a nominated corporation is to attend the Meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced prior to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.
