Chairman's Letter

24 October 2024

Dear OJC Shareholder,

I am pleased to introduce the Proposed Transaction, for your consideration.

The Proposed Transaction

On 2 October 2024, OJC announced that it had it had entered into a merger implementation deed (MID) and share sale agreements to acquire SPC Global Limited (SPC) and the powdered milk business owned by Nature One Dairy (Australia) Pte Ltd (Nature One Dairy).

The boards of OJC, SPC and Nature One Dairy consider the merger of the businesses to be an excellent strategic fit that is expected to result in combined annual FY25 revenue of more than \$400 million, with material additional synergies also expected to be achieved over time.

SPC Acquisition

On 2 October 2024, OJC entered into the MID with SPC in connection with its acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of SPC in consideration for the issue of the SPC Consideration Shares to the SPC Shareholders, subject to certain conditions precedent (SPC Acquisition).

The SPC Group

The SPC Group is a large producer of packaged fruit, tomato-based products, baked beans, spaghetti and ready-made meals in Australia. SPC is a leader in the Australian food market with four of its key brands holding #1 positions – packaged fruit, canned tomatoes, fruit snacks and multi-serve fruit. SPC has proven brand-equity, evidenced by high customer awareness scores, and has established competitive advantages within the grocery, food service, international, wholesale and convenience distribution channels through strong brand strength positioning. Its customers are well-known businesses such as Woolworths, Coles, Aldi, PFD and NSW Health.

The SPC Group competes in a strategic industry with increasing focus on sustainable food production, and operates in large growing markets including the Processed Fruits and Vegetable Markets, and the Frozen-cooked Ready Meals Market. The SPC Group also has large and well-located production facilities in Shepparton (Victoria), Auburn (New South Wales) and in Thailand, backed by strategic procurement management. The SPC Group has a diverse range of customers within the Food and Beverage Industry operating within retail (major and independent), food service, food manufacturing and quick service restaurants. Through its distribution channels, the SPC Group has access to over 3,500 retailers, 500 food service and QSR customers.

The SPC Group is led by an experienced management team and highly capable board, with a demonstrated track record in the Food and Beverage Industry, relevant business knowledge, financial management, corporate strategy and corporate governance experience.

Nature One Dairy Acquisition

On 2 October 2024, OJC entered into a share and asset purchase deed (Nature One Dairy Sale Deed) with the Nature One Dairy Shareholder, Nick Dimopoulos (as Nature One Dairy Shareholder principal) and Topshield International Pte Ltd (the largest shareholder of the Nature One Dairy Shareholder, which is associated with Nick Dimopoulos) to acquire the Nature One Dairy Business in consideration for the issue of new OJC Shares and the payment of cash to the Nature One Dairy Shareholder (Nature One Dairy Acquisition).

Under the Nature One Dairy Sale Deed, OJC has agreed to issue the Nature One Dairy Completion Consideration Shares and pay the Nature One Dairy Consideration Cash to the Nature One Dairy Shareholder on completion of the Nature One Dairy Acquisition (Nature One Dairy Completion). Following Nature One Dairy Completion, OJC has agreed to issue additional OJC Shares to the Nature One Dairy Shareholder following the first and second anniversary of the Nature One Dairy Completion, subject to set-off for any OJC claims under the Nature One Dairy Sale Deed.

Nature One Dairy is a manufacturer and distributor of powdered milk products including infant formula and other nutritional products. These products are manufactured and marketed under a portfolio of brands including Nature One Dairy, Ripple and WhiteH20 among others.

Nature One Dairy's core products include infant formula, nutritional formula and milk powder, all of which are marketed under the Nature One brand.

Proposed Transaction

The purpose of the Meeting on 22 November 2024 is to seek your approval of the Resolutions relating to the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition (together, the Proposed Transaction) and related Resolutions.

Subject to OJC Shareholder approval, on, or immediately before, completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is expected that:

  • the issued capital of OJC, will be consolidated on the basis that every 10 OJC Shares and 10 OJC Options will be consolidated to 1 OJC Share and 1 OJC Option, respectively, with any resulting fractions of an OJC Share or OJC Option rounded up to the nearest whole number of OJC Shares or OJC Options;
  • OJC will acquire all of the SPC Shares in consideration for the issue of the SPC Consideration Shares;
  • OJC will acquire the Nature One Dairy Business in consideration for the issue of the Nature One Dairy Consideration Shares and the payment of the Nature One Dairy Consideration Cash;
  • OJC will issue the OJC Shares to investors in the Priority Offer;
  • OJC will be renamed "SPC Global Holdings Ltd", and proposes to have its ASX ticker changed from "OJC" to "SPG"; and
  • the directors of the Merged Group will be Hussein Rifai, Robert Iervasi, Andrew Cohen, Kerry Smith and Adam Brooks, with Hon. Jeff Kennett AC, Tao (Norman) Li, Jacqueline Phillips and David Marchant resigning.

Following completion of the SPC Acquisition, the Nature One Dairy Acquisition, the Priority Offer and Other Share Issues, existing OJC Shareholders, SPC Shareholders, the Nature One Dairy Shareholder and the Priority Offer investors will hold 15.75%, 69.15%, 14.75% and 0.35% of the total number of OJC Shares respectively.

No SPC Shareholder or Nature One Dairy Shareholder (either alone or together with their Associates) will have Voting Power of greater than 20% in OJC Shares immediately following Completion.

Completion of the SPC Acquisition is conditional on, among other things:

  • Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) being approved by OJC Shareholders;
  • execution of the SPC Share Sale Agreements with SPC Shareholders holding more than 90% of the issued share capital of SPC, and those SPC Share Sale Agreements remaining on foot immediately prior to Completion;
  • execution of the Nature One Dairy Sale Deed and it remaining on foot immediately prior to Completion;
  • satisfaction of all conditions precedent to draw down under proposed new debt funding facilities under a consortium of lenders which at the date of this Notice of Meeting are yet to be formally established;

  • any regulatory approvals or consents (including from ASX and ASIC) necessary to be obtained in connection with the Proposed Transaction – this includes approval from ASX to the re-listing of OJC and the re-commencement of the trading of OJC Shares on ASX;

  • there being no prescribed occurrences in relation to OJC or SPC; and
  • there being no material adverse change in relation to OJC or SPC.

Completion of the Nature One Dairy Acquisition is conditional on, among other things:

  • Resolution 3 being approved by OJC Shareholders;
  • satisfaction of all conditions precedent to draw down under the new debt funding facility;
  • there being no material adverse change in relation to the Nature One Dairy Group, OJC or SPC (under the MID);
  • there being no prescribed occurrences in relation to OJC or SPC under the MID; and
  • completion of the SPC Acquisition.

OJC Shareholders are being asked to approve the Resolutions set out in this Notice of Meeting that are necessary under the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules in order for the Proposed Transaction to proceed.

Benefits of the Proposed Transaction

The OJC Directors believe that the benefits of the Proposed Transaction will include:

  • Significantly enhanced scale: The combination of OJC, SPC and Nature One Dairy represents a significant opportunity to deliver OJC increased scale, diversification, significant operational synergies and a platform for further growth. SPC produces a wide range of different food products under its iconic Australian brands, across its core tomato, peach, apricot, plum, apple and pear-based products and will provide meaningful operational and financial contributions to OJC, compared with OJC's existing activities.
  • Highly synergistic and operational efficiencies: The Proposed Transaction is expected to generate significant operational synergies including via OJC having access to SPC's Shepparton production facility to unlock capacity limitations that currently exist at OJC's Mill Park facility which is operating at full capacity. Accessing this site would also bring production closer to many growers in the Goulburn Valley. Additionally, there are enhanced distribution and supply chain efficiencies across both businesses.
  • One of Australia's oldest and most trusted brands with over 100 years of presence: SPC has considerable asset value in its plant and equipment and holds some of Australia's most iconic and recognisable household food brands – specifically SPC, Ardmona, Goulburn Valley, ProVital, Pomlife, the Good Meal Co, and Street Eats – some of which have been invested in for over 100 years.
  • Counter-cyclical product diversification: SPC is a large producer of tomato-based products in Australia. Tomatoes have a ~12-week seasonal production window between February and April each year. Conversely, OJC's core production months as a predominantly citrus-based juice producer are between May and November each year. Expansion into the powdered milk market is highly strategic to provide the Merged Group with a more diversified product base which is not purely susceptible to domestic growing seasons, and weatherrelated risk, and delivers high-margin earnings stability. This allows the Merged Group to more effectively and efficiently operate throughout the year, thereby increasing overall production, manage inventory flows, and even out earnings.
  • Enhanced production capacity: SPC's production facility in Shepparton sits on approximately 240,000m2 of land, with an annual production capacity in excess of 150,000 tonnes across multiple products. Importantly, SPC currently has multiple unused spaces at its

Shepparton facility, and could accommodate overflow capacity from OJC's production processes, allowing OJC to materially increase its annual production volumes to meet observable customer demand and unlock new streams of revenue over time.

Platform for further inorganic growth: SPC's merger with OJC and Nature One Dairy is a continuation of SPC's inorganic strategy, having now completed two complementary acquisitions, adding new products and one divestment since the business was acquired from Coca-Cola Amatil in 2019. The Merged Group will have multiple levers of inorganic growth, expanding its scale, products and geographic reach.

Risks and potential disadvantages associated with the Proposed Transaction

It is important to note, as with any acquisition and debt funding, that there are inherent risks associated with the Proposed Transaction. The most significant risks and potential disadvantages are outlined in Section 3.3 and summarised in Section 11, and include the reliance on third party raw material and manufacturing suppliers, the risk of adverse changes to foreign exchange rates, reliance on sales channels and relationships with key customers and the fact that OJC, SPC and Nature One Dairy – like other participants in the Food and Beverage Industry and Milk Powder Industry, respectively – does not have fixed contracts in place with key customers. I encourage you to read these Sections of this Notice of Meeting thoughtfully and carefully.

Conclusion

Further detailed information about the Resolutions and the Proposed Transaction is set out in the enclosed explanatory statement.

The OJC Directors unanimously recommend that OJC Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions.

OJC's three largest shareholders, R&JS Smith Investments Pty Ltd as trustee for The Smith Family Trust, Careline Australia (and other entities associated with Norman Li), and Batman Investments, together representing 43.06% of OJC's existing share capital, have also provided commitments to vote in favour of the Resolutions.

I strongly encourage you to read the full contents of the accompanying documents carefully and participate in the voting process. If you are unable to attend the Meeting, please complete the enclosed Proxy Form and return in in accordance with the instructions on the form.

renamed "SPC Global Holdings Ltd" and proposes to have its
ASX ticker changed from "OJC" to "SPG".
Will OJC remain listed
on ASX if the
Proposed Transaction
proceeds?
Following its application for in-principle advice in relation to the
Proposed Transaction, OJC has obtained confirmation from ASX
that completing the Proposed Transaction will require OJC to:

obtain the approval of OJC Shareholders for the
proposed change of activities pursuant to ASX Listing
Rule 11.1.2; and

re-comply with the admission and quotation
requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX
Listing Rules.
For this reason, OJC is seeking OJC Shareholder approval
under Resolution 1 for OJC to change the scale of its activities
under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 and pursuant to ASX Listing Rule
11.1.3 in order to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX
Listing Rules.
ASX has an absolute discretion in deciding whether or not to re
admit the Merged Group to the Official List. Accordingly, there is
a risk that the Merged Group may not be able to meet the
requirements of ASX for re-quotation of its Shares following
Completion.
However, OJC has structured and negotiated the terms of the
Proposed Transaction with its ability to re-comply with Chapters 1
and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules front of mind. By issuing the
Prospectus, completing the Proposed Transaction and the Priority
Offer
and undertaking the various other steps described or
contemplated in this Notice of Meeting, OJC anticipates that it will
be able to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing
Rules.
OJC has also sought in-principle advice from ASX in which ASX
has set out, on an in-principle basis, that it has not identified any
reasons to date, to exercise its discretion to prevent the Merged
Group from being re-admitted to the Official List. This advice is
non-binding and cannot be relied upon to prevent ASX from
exercising its discretion as it sees fit.
In the event that the Merged Group is not re-admitted to the
Official List after Completion, the suspension of quotation of the
Merged Group's securities may continue until the Merged Group
has satisfied the requirements of ASX for re-quotation. As a
result, shareholders may be prevented from trading their Shares
in the Merged Group until such time as the Merged Group does
re-comply with the ASX Listing Rules.

Highlights of the Proposed Transaction
Reasons to vote in
favour of the
Proposed Transaction
The OJC Directors believe that the benefits of the Proposed
Transaction will include:
Significantly enhanced scale: The combination of
OJC, SPC and Nature One Dairy represents a significant
opportunity to deliver OJC increased scale,
diversification, significant operational synergies and a
platform for further growth. SPC produces a wide range
of different food products under its iconic Australian
brands, across its core tomato, peach, apricot, plum,
apple and pear-based products and will provide
meaningful operational and financial contributions to
OJC, compared with OJC's existing activities.
Highly synergistic and operational efficiencies: The
Proposed Transaction is expected to generate significant
operational synergies including via OJC having access
to SPC's Shepparton production facility to unlock
capacity limitations that currently exist at OJC's Mill Park
facility which is operating at full capacity. Accessing this
site would also bring production closer to many growers
in the Goulburn Valley. Additionally, there are enhanced
distribution and supply chain efficiencies across both
businesses.
One of Australia's oldest and most trusted brands
with over 100 years of presence: SPC has
considerable asset value in its plant and equipment and
holds some of Australia's most iconic and recognisable
household food brands – specifically SPC, Ardmona,

Goulburn Valley, ProVital, Pomlife, the Good Meal Co, and Street Eats – some of which have been invested in for over 100 years.

  • Counter-cyclical product diversification: SPC is a large producer of tomato-based products in Australia. Tomatoes have a ~12-week seasonal production window between February and April each year. Conversely, OJC's core production months as a predominantly citrusbased juice producer are between May and November each year. Expansion into the powdered milk market is highly strategic to provide the Merged Group with a more diversified product base which is not purely susceptible to domestic growing seasons, and weather-related risk, and delivers high-margin earnings stability. This allows the Merged Group to more effectively and efficiently operate throughout the year, thereby increasing overall production, manage inventory flows, and even out earnings.
  • Enhanced production capacity: SPC's production facility in Shepparton sits on approximately 240,000m2 of land, with an annual production capacity in excess of 150,000 tonnes across multiple products. Importantly, SPC currently has multiple unused spaces at its Shepparton facility, and could accommodate overflow capacity from OJC's production processes, allowing OJC to materially increase its annual production volumes to meet observable customer demand and unlock new streams of revenue over time.
  • Platform for further inorganic growth: SPC's merger with OJC and Nature One Dairy is a continuation of SPC's inorganic strategy, having now completed two complementary acquisitions, adding new products and one divestment since the business was acquired from Coca-Cola Amatil in 2019. The Merged Group will have multiple levers of inorganic growth, expanding its scale, products and geographic reach.

The OJC Board is of the opinion that the opportunity presented under the Proposed Transaction represents an opportunity that is in the best interests of current OJC Shareholders.

See Section 3.2 for more detailed information on potential benefits of the Proposed Transaction and the Merged Group.

For further information in relation to the existing operations of OJC, SPC and the Nature One Dairy Business, refer to Sections 6, 7 and 8 respectively.

Potential reasons to
vote against the
Proposed Transaction
As an OJC Shareholder, you may form the view that the Proposed
Transaction as currently proposed and structured is not in your
best interests.
You may want to maintain your current investment profile. The
profile, capital structure and size of the Merged Group will be
significantly different from that of OJC as it currently stands. Some
OJC Shareholders may prefer to continue to invest in a listed
company with the specific characteristics, operational focus and
scale of the current OJC, and do not seek an exposure to the SPC
business or the Nature One Dairy Business.
As an OJC Shareholder, you may not agree with the value
attributed to SPC, the Nature One Dairy Business or OJC by the
Proposed Transaction.
If the Proposed Transaction is implemented, your proportionate
shareholding in OJC will be significantly diluted. As an OJC
Shareholder, you may not want your proportionate ownership of
OJC to be diluted in this way.
See Sections 3.3 and 11 for more information on significant risks
and potential disadvantages associated with the Proposed
Transaction and the Merged Group.

negotiation and implementation of the Proposed Transaction.

Why is OJC
Shareholder approval
required for the
Proposed
Transaction?
Resolution 1
Resolution 1 seeks the approval of OJC Shareholders for the
significant change in the scale of OJC's activities resulting from
completion of the Proposed Transaction, for the purposes of
ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 and for all other purposes.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary Resolution, and is subject to and
inter-conditional with OJC Shareholders passing each of
Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) in this Notice of Meeting.
ASX Listing Rule 11.1 provides that where an entity proposes to
make a significant change, either directly or indirectly, to the
scale of its activities, it must provide full details to ASX as soon
as practicable and comply with the following:
provide to ASX information regarding the change and its
effect on future potential earnings, and any information
that ASX asks for;
if ASX requires, obtain the approval of holders of its
shares and any requirements of ASX in relation to the
notice of meeting; and
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.
Following OJC's application for in-principle advice in relation to
the Proposed Transaction, OJC has obtained confirmation from
ASX that completing the Proposed Transaction will require it to:
obtain the approval of OJC Shareholders for the
proposed change in the scale of activities pursuant to
ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2; and

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

For this reason, OJC is seeking OJC Shareholder approval for OJC to change the scale of its activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 and pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3 in order to recomply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

If Resolution 1 is passed (and subject to OJC Shareholders passing Resolutions 2 to 4 (inclusive)), OJC will be able to proceed with the Proposed Transaction as outlined in this Notice of Meeting.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, OJC will not be able to proceed with the Proposed Transaction.

Resolutions 2 and 3

Resolutions 2 and 3 seek the approval of the OJC Shareholders to the issue of new OJC Shares under the SPC Acquisition and Nature One Dairy Acquisition, respectively, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes.

Resolutions 2 and 3 are ordinary Resolutions, and are subject to and inter-conditional with OJC Shareholders passing each other and of Resolutions 1 and 4 in this Notice of Meeting.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an ASX listed company must not, without the prior approval of shareholders or otherwise pursuant to limited exceptions, issue securities if the number of securities issued, when aggregated with the number of securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceeds 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The issue of the SPC Consideration Shares and Nature One Dairy Completion Consideration Shares will exhaust OJC's existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It is for this reason that OJC Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is sought.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information in relation to Resolutions 2 and 3 to be provided:

If Resolutions 2 and 3 are passed (and subject to OJC Shareholders passing each of Resolutions 1 and 4), OJC will be able to proceed with the Proposed Transaction as outlined in this Notice of Meeting.

If one of Resolutions 2 or 3 are not passed, OJC will not be able to proceed with the Proposed Transaction.

Resolution 4

Resolution 4 seeks approval of the OJC Shareholders for OJC to consolidate its capital on the basis that every 10 OJC Shares and 10 OJC Options will be consolidated to 1 OJC Share and 1 OJC Option, respectively, with any resulting fractions of an OJC Share or OJC Option rounded up to the nearest whole number of OJC Shares or OJC Options. The primary purpose of the Share Consolidation is to facilitate the Proposed Transaction and to implement a more appropriate capital structure going forward.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary Resolution, and is subject to and inter-conditional with OJC Shareholders passing each of Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) in this Notice of Meeting.

Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number by resolution passed in a general meeting. If passed, OJC will lodge a copy of this Resolution with ASIC within 1 month of the Meeting.

ASX Listing Rule 7.20 provides that were an entity proposes to reorganise its capital, it must tell equity security holders:

  • the effect of the proposal on the number of Securities and the amount unpaid (if any) on the Securities;
  • the proposed treatment of any fractional entitlements; and
  • the proposed treatment of any convertible securities on issue.

ASX Listing Rule 7.21 provides that a listed entity which has convertible securities (other than Options) on issue may only reorganise its capital if, in respect of the Convertible Securities, the number of its convertible securities or the conversion price, or both, is reorganised so that the holder of the Convertible Securities will not receive a benefit that holders of ordinary Securities do not receive.

ASX Listing Rule 7.22.1 requires that when a listed entity undertakes a consolidation of capital, the number of its Options must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.

Holding statements – from the date of the Share Consolidation (i.e., on or immediately before Completion), all holding statements for OJC Securities will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of OJC Securities on a post-Share Consolidation basis. After the Share Consolidation becomes effective, OJC will arrange for new holding statements for OJC Securities to be issued to holders of those OJC Securities. It is the responsibility of each OJC

Shareholder to check the number of OJC Securities held prior to disposal or exercise (as applicable).

Impact on capital structure – the indicative impact of the Share Consolidation on OJC's capital structure is set out in Section 12.5(d). Any resulting fractions of an OJC Share or OJC Option will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of OJC Shares or OJC Options.

Timetable – the indicative timetable for the Share Consolidation is set out in Section 12.5(d).

Taxation – it is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for OJC Shareholders arising from the Share Consolidation. However, OJC Shareholders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Share Consolidation and OJC accepts no responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Share Consolidation.

If Resolution 4 is passed (and subject to OJC Shareholders passing Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive)), OJC will be able to proceed with the Proposed Transaction as outlined in this Notice of Meeting.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, OJC will not be able to proceed with the Proposed Transaction.

Resolution 5

Resolution 5 seeks approval of the OJC Shareholders for OJC to change its name to "SPC Global Holdings Ltd" on Completion.

Resolution 5 is a special Resolution (i.e., requires approval of at least 75% of the votes cast by OJC Shareholders present and eligible to vote), and is subject to OJC Shareholders passing each of Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) in this Notice of Meeting.

Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name.

The proposed name has been reserved by OJC with ASIC. If Resolution 5 is passed at the Meeting, and Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are passed, the change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of OJC's registration after Completion.

In conjunction with changing its name, OJC proposes to have its ASX ticker changed from "OJC" to "SPG".

If Resolution 5 is not passed, but Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are passed, OJC will proceed with the Proposed Transaction under its existing name.

Resolution 6

Resolutions 6A, 6B and 6C seek approval of the OJC Shareholders for the appointment of Hussein Rifai, Robert Iervasi and Andrew Cohen as directors of the Merged Group, respectively.

Resolutions 6A, 6B and 6C are ordinary Resolutions, and are subject to OJC Shareholders passing each of Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) in this Notice of Meeting.

The MID contemplates that, on and from Completion, the Merged Group will have five directors, with two nominated by OJC and three nominated by SPC. It is expected that Hon. Jeff Kennett AC, Tao (Norman) Li, Jacqueline Phillips and David Marchant will resign from the OJC Board with effect on and from Completion, and that Hussein Rifai, Robert Iervasi and Andrew Cohen will, subject to Resolution 6 taking effect, be appointed to the Merged Group board at the same time. It is expected that Hussein Rifai will be the Chair of the Merged Group.

The experience, skills and qualifications of each of Hussein Rifai, Robert Iervasi and Andrew Cohen are set out in Section 4.7.

If one of Resolutions 6A, 6B or 6C are not passed, but Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are passed, OJC will proceed with the Proposed Transaction.

Resolution 7

Resolution 7 seeks approval of the OJC Shareholders to increase the Non-Executive Director Fee Remuneration Pool.

Resolution 7 is an ordinary Resolution, and is subject to OJC Shareholders passing each of Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) in this Notice of Meeting.

ASX Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total amount of directors' fees payable by it or any of its child entities without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities. The rule does not apply to the salaries of an executive director.

OJC's current Non-Executive Director Fee Remuneration Pool is \$500,000 and the MID contemplates that, on and from Completion, the Merged Group's Director Fee Remuneration Pool will be \$750,000.

The increase will:

  • provide flexibility for OJC to continue to attract and retain non-executive directors of a high calibre for the purpose of board renewal;
  • allow for annual incremental adjustments for nonexecutive directors' fees in line with market conditions; and
  • allow for payment of appropriate fees over time, having regard to the increasing workload and responsibilities of

non-executive directors, having regard to the Proposed Transaction.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.17, OJC notes as follows:

  • the current Non-Executive Director Fee Remuneration Pool is \$500,000, as approved by shareholders at OJC's 1 November 2023 general meeting;
  • OJC Shareholder approval is now sought to increase the Non-Executive Director Fee Remuneration Pool by \$250,000 from \$500,000 to \$750,000; and
  • the only OJC securities issued to OJC Directors under Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.14 in the preceding 3 years are the issue of 1,666,666 OJC Shares to Jeff Kennett following OJC's November 2023 Annual General Meeting, noting that an additional 333,334 OJC Shares (on a post-Share Consolidation basis) will be issued to Jeff Kennett under the same resolution passed by OJC Shareholders at OJC's November 2023 Annual General Meeting on Completion if the Proposed Transaction is implemented.

Disclosure of non-executive directors' remuneration will continue to be made to OJC Shareholders in each annual remuneration report in accordance with the Corporations Act, OJC's constitution and the ASX Listing Rules.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, but Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are passed, OJC will proceed with the Proposed Transaction.

Resolution 8

Resolution 8 seeks approval of the OJC Shareholders for The Original Juice Co. Employee Incentive Securities Plan (Plan).

Resolution 8 is an ordinary Resolution, and is subject to OJC Shareholders passing each of Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) in this Notice of Meeting.

Under the Plan, the Board may offer eligible persons the opportunity to subscribe for such number of securities in the Company as the Board may decide and on the terms set out in the rules of the Plan.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 by which equity securities issued under an

employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of three years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of equity securities under the Plan as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13 requires the following information in relation to Resolution 8 to be provided:

the total number of issued Shares at the
date of the invitation (unless the
Constitution specifies a different
percentage and subject to any limits
approved by Shareholders under Listing
Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)).
Voting exclusion
statement
A voting exclusion statement is set out in
the Notice of Meeting for Resolution 8.

If Resolution 8 is passed, OJC will be able to issue Securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of three 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.

If Resolution 8 is not passed, but Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are passed, OJC will proceed with the Proposed Transaction.

Resolution 9

Resolution 9 seeks approval of the OJC Shareholders to grant securities to Robert Iervasi who will be appointed as Managing Director of the Merged Group on completion of the Proposed Transaction.

Resolution 9 is an ordinary Resolution and is subject to OJC Shareholders passing each of Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) in this Notice of Meeting.

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires that a listed company must not issue equity securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the company without shareholder approval. Accordingly, OJC seeks OJC Shareholder approval for the grant of securities to Robert Iervasi as part of his remuneration package.

The options may be exercised during

The OJC Shares are fully paid ordinary
shares and will rank equally with other OJC
Shares on issue.
Reason for options The options are proposed to be issued to
incentivise the future performance of
Robert Iervasi, to align his interests with
shareholders of the Merged Group
consistently with the strategic goals and
growth of the Merged Group, and to ensure
that the total remuneration paid to him is
both equitable and competitive by market
standards. The issue of those securities is
also believed by OJC to be a reasonable
and appropriate method to provide cost
effective remuneration as the non-cash
form of this benefit will allow the Merged
Group to spend a greater proportion of its
cash reserves on its operations that it
would if alternative cash forms of
remuneration were awarded to Robert
Iervasi.
Value attributed Provided the performance measures are
satisfied, the Options to be issued to
Robert have an exercise price of \$1.50
each. Leading up to the date of suspension
of trading in OJC Shares on 23 September
2024, the 30-day VWAP of OJC Shares
was A\$1.62 (on a post-Share
Consolidation basis) and prima facie, using
the Black Scholes options pricing model,
the total value attributed to the Options by
OJC if Robert remains employed and all
the performance measures are met would
be approximately \$239,382. The value may
go up or down as it will depend on the
future price of an OJC Share. At the date
of this Notice of Meeting, OJC has not
obtained an independent valuation of these
options.
The date or dates on
or by which the
Company will issue
the securities
If OJC Shareholder approval is obtained,
subject to completion of the Proposed
Transaction, the securities will be granted
to Robert Iervasi on the date OJC is re
admitted to the Official List. In any event,
they will not be granted more than 3 years
after the date of the Meeting.
The price at which
the entity will issue
the securities to Mr
Iervasi
No amount will be payable by Robert
Iervasi for the issue of the options or the
OJC Shares.

Plan

OJC may provide Robert with a loan to
exercise the options.
Details of any securities issued under the
Plan will be published in the Company's
annual report relating to the period in which
they were issued, along with a statement
that approval for the issue was obtained
under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolution 10 seeks approval of the OJC Shareholders for the issue of OJC Shares to eligible investors under the Priority Offer.

Resolution 10 is an ordinary Resolution, and is subject to OJC Shareholders passing each of Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) in this Notice of Meeting.

The issue of OJC Shares under the Priority Offer will decrease OJC's existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It is for this reason that OJC Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is sought.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information in relation to Resolution 10 to be provided:

Resolution 11

Resolution 11 seeks approval of the OJC Shareholders to grant the Kuisine Option.

Resolution 11 is an ordinary Resolution, and is subject to OJC Shareholders passing each of Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) in this Notice of Meeting.

In October 2020, SPC acquired a majority interest in the Kuisine Group, the operator of the Good Meal Co brand, which manufactures high-quality prepared meals and finger food. In connection with the acquisition of the balance of the Kuisine Group, SPC agreed to grant an option over shares in SPC to the vendors of the Kuisine Group. As SPC will become a whollyowned subsidiary of OJC on completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is appropriate for the option to be granted by OJC.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an ASX listed company must not, without the prior approval of shareholders or otherwise pursuant to limited exceptions, issue securities if the number of securities issued, when aggregated with the number of securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceeds 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The grant of the Kuisine Option will decrease OJC's existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It is for this reason that OJC Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is sought.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information in relation to Resolution 11 to be provided:

3 Rationale for Proposed Transaction

This Section 3 sets out the recommendation, and strategic rationale, of the OJC Directors in respect of the Proposed Transaction. This Section 3 also sets out some potential disadvantages associated with the acquisition of the SPC Group, the acquisition of the Nature One Dairy Business, and the formation of the Merged Group.

3.1 Overview of Proposed Transaction

The Proposed Transaction comprises the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition.

SPC Acquisition – On 2 October 2024, OJC announced that it had it had entered into a MID with SPC in relation to a proposed merger of OJC and SPC, subject to certain conditions precedent. Under the MID, OJC has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of SPC in consideration for the issue of new OJC Shares to the SPC Shareholders.

Nature One Dairy Acquisition – On 2 October 2024, OJC entered into the Nature One Dairy Sale Deed with the Nature One Dairy Shareholder, Nick Dimopoulos (as Nature One Dairy Shareholder principal) and Topshield International Pte Ltd (the largest shareholder in the Nature One Dairy Shareholder, which is associated with Nick Dimopoulos) to acquire the Nature One Dairy Business in consideration for the issue of up to 29,333,333 new OJC Shares to the Nature One Dairy Shareholder and the payment of up to \$6,000,000 in cash.

Under the Nature One Dairy Sale Deed, OJC has agreed to issue the Nature One Dairy Completion Consideration Shares (being 28,333,333 new OJC Shares) and pay the Nature One Dairy Cash Consideration to the Nature One Dairy Shareholder on completion of the Nature One Dairy Acquisition. OJC may then issue up to a further 500,000 OJC Shares on the first anniversary of Nature One Dairy Completion and up to a further 500,000 OJC Shares on the second anniversary of Nature One Dairy Completion, in each case subject to any hold-back amount (totalling up to 29,333,333 new OJC Shares in aggregate that may be issued to the Nature One Dairy Shareholder). OJC Shareholder approval is not sought for the grant of these subsequent OJC Shares, and they will come out of OJC's placement capacity at the relevant time.

Merger ratios – Following completion of the SPC Acquisition, the Nature One Dairy Acquisition, the Priority Offer and the Other Share Issues, existing OJC Shareholders, SPC Shareholders, the Nature One Dairy Shareholder and the Priority Offer investors will hold 15.75%, 69.15%, 14.75% and 0.35% of the total number of OJC Shares respectively.

Subject to OJC Shareholder approval, on or around completion of the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition, it is expected that:

  • the issued capital of OJC, will be consolidated on the basis that every 10 OJC Shares and 10 OJC Options will be consolidated to 1 OJC Share and 1 OJC Option, respectively, with any resulting fractions of an OJC Share or OJC Option rounded up to the nearest whole number of OJC Shares or OJC Options;
  • OJC will be renamed "SPC Global Holdings Ltd", and proposes to have its ASX ticker changed from "OJC" to "SPG";
  • the directors of the Merged Group will be Hussein Rifai, Robert Iervasi, Andrew Cohen, Kerry Smith and Adam Brooks, with Hon. Jeff Kennett AC, Tao (Norman) Li, Jacqueline Phillips and David Marchant resigning; and
  • the Priority Offer Shares will be issued.

3.2 Benefits of the Proposed Transaction

The OJC Directors believe that the benefits of the Proposed Transaction will include:

Significantly enhanced scale: The combination of OJC, SPC and Nature One Dairy represents a significant opportunity to deliver OJC increased scale, diversification, significant operational synergies and a platform for further growth. SPC produces a wide range of different food products under its iconic Australian brands, across its core tomato, peach,

apricot, plum, apple and pear-based products and will provide meaningful operational and financial contributions to OJC, compared with OJC's existing activities.

  • Highly synergistic and operational efficiencies: The Proposed Transaction is expected to generate significant operational synergies including via OJC having access to SPC's Shepparton production facility to unlock capacity limitations that currently exist at OJC's Mill Park facility which is operating at full capacity. Accessing this site would also bring production closer to many growers in the Goulburn Valley. Additionally, there are enhanced distribution and supply chain efficiencies across both businesses.
  • One of Australia's oldest and most trusted brands with over 100 years of presence: SPC has considerable asset value in its plant and equipment and holds some of Australia's most iconic and recognisable household food brands – specifically SPC, Ardmona, Goulburn Valley, ProVital, Pomlife, the Good Meal Co, and Street Eats – some of which have been invested in for over 100 years.
  • Counter-cyclical product diversification: SPC is a large producer of tomato-based products in Australia. Tomatoes have a ~12-week seasonal production window between February and April each year. Conversely, OJC's core production months as a predominantly citrus-based juice producer are between May and November each year. Expansion into the powdered milk market is highly strategic to provide the Merged Group with a more diversified product base which is not purely susceptible to domestic growing seasons, and weather-related risk, and delivers high-margin earnings stability. This allows the Merged Group to more effectively and efficiently operate throughout the year, thereby increasing overall production, manage inventory flows, and even out earnings.
  • Enhanced production capacity: SPC's production facility in Shepparton sits on approximately 240,000m2 of land, with an annual production capacity in excess of 150,000 tonnes across multiple products. Importantly, SPC currently has multiple unused spaces at its Shepparton facility, and could accommodate overflow capacity from OJC's production processes, allowing OJC to materially increase its annual production volumes to meet observable customer demand and unlock new streams of revenue over time.
  • Platform for further inorganic growth: SPC's merger with OJC and Nature One Dairy is a continuation of SPC's inorganic strategy, having now completed two complementary acquisitions, adding new products and one divestment since the business was acquired from Coca-Cola Amatil in 2019. The Merged Group will have multiple levers of inorganic growth, expanding its scale, products and geographic reach.

The OJC Board is of the opinion that the opportunity presented under the Proposed Transaction represents an opportunity that is in the best interests of current shareholders of OJC.

If Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are not passed by OJC Shareholders, or the other conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Proposed Transaction will not proceed. If the Proposed Transaction does not proceed OJC will not acquire SPC or the Nature One Dairy Business, and the Priority Offer will not proceed.

In this event, the OJC Board's intention will be to continue to focus on OJC's existing core business, which is to manufacture a range of high-quality juices, fibres, infused fruits and fruit waters that are sold as branded products or ingredients to customers in Australia and overseas.

As an OJC Shareholder, you may form the view that the Proposed Transaction as currently proposed and structured is not in your best interests.

You may want to maintain your current investment profile. The profile, capital structure and size of the Merged Group will be significantly different from that of OJC as it currently stands. Some OJC Shareholders may prefer to continue to invest in a listed company with the specific characteristics, operational focus and scale of the current OJC, and do not seek an exposure to the SPC business or Nature One Dairy Business.

As an OJC Shareholder, you may not agree with the value attributed to SPC, the Nature One Dairy Business or OJC by the Proposed Transaction.

If the Proposed Transaction is implemented, your proportionate shareholding in OJC will be significantly diluted. As an OJC Shareholder, you may not want your proportionate ownership of OJC to be diluted in this way.

The OJC Directors believe that the potential advantages of the Proposed Transaction outweigh the risks and potential disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction.

4 Overview of the Proposed Transaction

This Section 4 sets out a brief overview of the Proposed Transaction and should be read in conjunction with the entire Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement before you decide how to vote on the Resolutions.

4.1 Overview

The Proposed Transaction comprises the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition, each of which are discussed below.

4.2 SPC Acquisition

On 2 October 2024, OJC announced that it had it had entered into a MID with SPC in relation to a proposed merger of OJC and SPC, subject to certain conditions precedent.

Under the MID, OJC has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of SPC in consideration for the issue of new OJC Shares to the SPC Shareholders.

Subject to OJC Shareholder approval, OJC will acquire all of the issued shares in SPC from the SPC Shareholders in consideration for the issue of new OJC Shares. On a post-Share Consolidation basis, a maximum of 132,707,118 new OJC Shares (in aggregate) will be issued to the SPC Shareholders.

4.3 Nature One Dairy Acquisition

On 2 October 2024, OJC entered into the Nature One Dairy Sale Deed with the Nature One Dairy Shareholder, Nick Dimopoulos (as Nature One Dairy Shareholder principal) and Topshield International Pte Ltd (the largest shareholder of the Nature One Dairy Shareholder, which is associated with Nick Dimopoulos) to acquire the Nature One Dairy Business in consideration for the issue of new OJC Shares to the Nature One Dairy Shareholder and the payment of the Nature One Dairy Consideration Cash.

Subject to OJC Shareholder approval, OJC has agreed to issue the Nature One Dairy Completion Consideration Shares (being 28,333,333 new OJC Shares) and pay the Nature One Dairy Cash Consideration to the Nature One Dairy Shareholder on completion of the Nature One Dairy Acquisition. OJC may issue up to a further 500,000 OJC Shares on the first anniversary of Nature One Dairy Completion and up to a further 500,000 OJC Shares on the second anniversary of Nature One Dairy Completion, in each case subject to any hold-back amount (totalling up to 29,333,333 new OJC Shares in aggregate that may be issued to the Nature One Dairy Shareholder). OJC Shareholder approval is not sought for the grant of these subsequent OJC Shares, and they will come out of OJC's placement capacity at the relevant time.

4.4 Merger ratios

Following completion of the SPC Acquisition, the Nature One Dairy Acquisition, the Priority Offer and the Other Share Issues, existing OJC Shareholders, SPC Shareholders, the Nature One Dairy Shareholder and the Priority Offer investors will hold 15.75%, 69.15%, 14.75% and 0.35% of the total number of OJC Shares respectively.

4.5 Valuation methodology

Over the course of several months, OJC and SPC have undertaken substantial due diligence on one another, supported by subject matter experts and independent advisers. In conjunction with the external diligence exercise, the parties have, at arm's length, negotiated the terms of transaction documents that, having now been executed, provide a pathway to the proposed merger. This includes the negotiation of, and agreement upon the merger ratio, which was the subject of detailed valuation diligence.

Following this robust due diligence exercise, OJC has ascribed a value of approximately \$212 million to the net assets of SPC. This is consistent with the value that SPC's shareholders place upon their own business.

The parties have agreed that the consideration for OJC's acquisition of SPC (valued by the respective parties at \$212 million) will be the issue of the SPC Consideration Shares. This ascribes a value per OJC Share (on a post-Share Consolidation basis) of \$1.60.

Similarly, over the course of several months, OJC and SPC (on the one hand) and the Nature One Dairy Shareholder (on the other hand) have undertaken detailed due diligence and negotiated the terms of transaction documents (including the merger ratio) that, having now been executed, provide a pathway to the inclusion of the Nature One Dairy Business in the merged group.

OJC has ascribed a value of approximately \$50 million to the net assets of Nature One Dairy. This coincides with the value that the Nature One Dairy Shareholder places upon its business.

The parties have agreed that the upfront consideration for OJC's acquisition of the Nature One Dairy Business will be \$48.5 million (noting that the issue of \$1.5 million worth of shares will be deferred for potential warranty claims), payable via the issuance of the Nature One Dairy Consideration Shares at an implied price per OJC Share (on a post-Share Consolidation basis) of \$1.50, and the payment of the Nature One Dairy Consideration Cash.

The parties to each of these transactions are independent and unrelated. Both acquisitions have been negotiated, legally, commercially and financially, on arm's length terms, having been supported by their various independent advisers. They each reflect fair value for the assets being acquired (i.e., all the shares in SPC and the Nature One Dairy Business) and, importantly, the consideration being paid (i.e., the issue of new OJC Shares at an effective value of \$1.60 and \$1.50 per OJC Share, respectively). While Hussein Rifai is the Chair of both SPC and the Nature One Dairy Shareholder, Hussein does not have any shareholding or other economic interest in the Nature One Dairy Shareholder and was not involved in the negotiation of the Nature One Dairy Sale Deed.

The attribution of these values to the net assets of SPC (of \$212 million) and Nature One Dairy (of \$50 million) is borne out in the merger relativities of the transactions.

5 Industry overview

This Section sets out information about the industry in which OJC, SPC and the Nature One Dairy Business operate.

5.1 Introduction

OJC operates broadly in the Beverages & Wellness industries. SPC's core operating industries are Fruit & Vegetable Processing and Frozen-Cooked Ready Meals. The Nature One Dairy Business operates in the Milk Powder industry.

Given the diversified nature of the OJC, SPC and Nature One Dairy food and beverage products, the Merged Group operates in a range of industries and various input and end markets across the value chain.

The Merged Group's operations in the Fruit Growing & Manufacturing market provide key inputs into the Merged Group's manufacturing business in the form of F&V ingredients. These inputs feed directly into OJC and SPC's core operating markets, being the Fruit & Vegetable Processing industry and the Domestic Beverages & Wellness industry respectively. The Merged Group is also beginning to execute its expansion into the Global Food & Vegetable Processing and Frozen-Cooked Ready Meals industries. Through the acquisition of Nature One Dairy, the merged group expands its operations into the Global Milk Powder Market. Ultimately, the Merged Group's products are sold into end markets including grocery, food service and industrial food manufacturing industries in order to reach customers.

The overarching trends impacting both the Domestic and Global Food and Beverage sector include:

  • changing consumer preference to time-saving food solutions;
  • convenient & easy to use shelf-stable foods;
  • less preference for foods containing flavours, colours or preservatives;
  • growth in per capita income;
  • greater focus on health & wellness; and
  • consumers search for superior value for money (i.e., VFM = price x quality).

5.2 Market overview – Domestic Beverage and Wellness Market

Fruit Juices and Drinks

Fruit juices and drinks sales have benefited recently due to increased health consciousness. Many consumers are switching to juice and healthier alternatives from soft drink, cordials and unnatural alternatives. Consumer preferences are also shifting towards fruit juices with no added sugar and no artificial ingredients.

The Domestic Fruit Juices and Drinks market was estimated to generate industry revenues of \$751.4 million in FY23 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 1.3% for the period to FY281 .

In Australia, to be labelled a 'fruit juice', the drink must contain more than 95% juice2 and less than 4% added sugar, otherwise it is classified as a 'fruit drink'3 . Fruit drinks with 5.0% to 25.0% fruit juice content have faced a decline in revenue share4 . Premium producers who highlight higher fruit concentration and the associated health benefits have been able to charge premium prices.

Recent product innovation and the introduction of new ingredients marketed as 'superfoods' provide new opportunities for growth. Pomegranate and acai berry, as well as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are labelled as 'superfoods' and are in demand by consumers.

3 Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, Standard 2.6.1 – Fruit juice and vegetable juice, March 2015

4 IBISWorld, Fruit Juice Drink Manufacturing in Australia, June 2023

In Australia, the majority of fruit juice and drink manufacturers are located in fruit-growing regions with a strong horticultural base. New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland account for 78.5% of manufacturers, with the eastern states favoured for their logistical advantages in distribution and end consumers. New South Wales is the most popular location, followed by Victoria and Queensland. However, regional specialisation is evident in Queensland and Tasmania. Queensland manufacturers dominate production of tropical fruit juice drinks, like pineapple juice drinks, because of the state's abundance of tropical plantations. Whereas, Tasmanian establishments primarily focus on apple juice production, capitalising on the region's high-quality apple crops.

Manufacturers face a limited fruit supply and rising fruit prices, especially locally in Australia, which have placed margin pressure on Australian juice manufacturers. With unpredictable weather patterns affecting crop yields and disrupting supply chains, manufacturers often have to absorb the additional costs as they are difficult to pass on. This has led to increased imported competing fruit volumes from China, Thailand, Brazil and Vietnam, maintaining a diverse range of fruits and steady supply.

Functional shots

Functional shots for wellness are increasing in popularity as health-conscious consumers look for simple and convenient ways to boost and maintain their health, and the market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 11.6% from 2024-2032.5 These functional shots are typically around 60mL in size and can be classified into different categories associated with their health benefits, including energy, immunity, detox, de-stress, sleep and concentration.

Initially, functional shots were in demand among a group of niche natural shoppers who were conscious of the product's health benefits and value compared to fresh-pressed juice shots. Price also played a crucial role in influencing customers to buy functional shots over regular fresh-pressed fruit juices that are sold for a much higher price at boutique stores. COVID-19 has also accelerated the adoption as it introduced a large number of consumers who were seeking immunity-boosting products to wellness shots.

5.3 Market overview – F&V Processing Market

Global Market

Operators in the industry process fresh fruits and vegetables into canned, bottled, preserved, frozen, dried or otherwise processed or preserved food products for human consumption. The industry also blends salt, sugar, preservatives and other ingredients with fruits and vegetables to make consumer food products. The global F&V processing market is estimated to be \$316 billion in size and is forecast to grow at 7.1% CAGR from 2022 to 2032.6 This growth is expected to be driven by urbanisation and increasing middle class wealth in developing countries such as China and India, which will increase consumer demand for premium branded products and diversity of diets.

Historically, high-tech, large-scale F&V processing operations are concentrated primarily in Europe, North America and North Asia but recently, as demand for industry products increases across the world and middle-income economies become more advanced, production is slowly shifting to other geographies.

Domestic Market

The F&V processing market in Australia includes operators that primarily can, bottle, preserve, quickfreeze or dry F&Vs. Products in this industry are quite varied and include (but are not limited to) soups, sauces, dehydrated products, pickles, mixed meat and vegetable products, and non-milk based baby foods.

The performance of the F&V Industry in 2023 has been robust, with market revenue reaching \$6.3bn with over 11,670 people employed in the industry.7 There are over 675 businesses that compete in this industry with the top 5 companies accounting for 35% market share.8 The Domestic F&V

processing market is dominated by 5 key players, namely; Simplot, Heinz, SPC, Mars Wrigley and One Harvest.

Graph 1: Market share by competitor – 2023

Notwithstanding SPC's 4.7% market share in the Domestic F&V processing market, SPC holds a considerably higher share of sales in its core packaged fruit, canned tomato, fruit snack, multi-serve fruit and baked bean & spaghetti markets.

The buoyant performance of the Domestic F&V processing market has been largely driven by the following trends:

  • processors have come up with new strategies, developing innovative products and redefining relationships with retailers and wholesalers;
  • processors have shifted focus and production to products that have healthier options and convenience; and
  • there has been a renewed focus on exports, especially to the fast-growing Asia region.

Key success factors to processors in the industry largely depend on managing seasonal production, securing economies of scale and ensuring costs, in particular to inflation, are minimised. These factors reduce the volatility associated with operations in the Domestic F&V processing market.

The primary export markets for Domestic F&V processors are Asia, North Africa and India. Exports have risen by 7% over the last 5 years to 2024 largely due to the consistent supply of Australian fruits and pulses which form large part of cuisines in cultures such as Bangladesh and India.9 The perceived high quality of Australian processed foods also contributes to the spike in international demand. Middle Eastern and Asian appetites are fuelling future Australian exports as the burgeoning middleclass population in these regions are propelling demand.

5.4 Market overview – Domestic Frozen-Cooked Ready Meals Market

The Domestic Frozen-Cooked Ready Meals market offers convenient, pre-made dishes that require minimal effort to prepare, catering to the busy lifestyles of consumers. These products penetrate a broad range of distribution channels including but not limited to: direct to consumer; supermarkets; grocery wholesalers; food service and hotel industry; industrial and large scale institutions; and other food manufacturers.

Time-poor consumers, especially those living alone, have continued to favour convenient and competitively priced goods. This trend has driven growth in the Frozen-Cooked Ready Meals Production market over the past five years. However, the strong growth of food delivery services in Australia has created robust competition for products that promote convenience as a core benefit. Industry revenue is projected to continue to grow modestly at an annualised 1.3% over the five years through 2024-29, to \$1.7 billion10 .

5.5 Market overview – Domestic Fruit Growing and Manufacturing Market

Revenue in respect of domestic apple, pear and stone fruit growing is forecasted to grow at an annualised 1.9% over the 5 years to 2027-28, to reach \$1.6 billion11 . Revenue in respect of domestic citrus fruit, nut and other fruit growing is expected to grow by 0.8% over the five years to 2027-28, to reach \$5.3 billion12. The broader industry's performance largely depends on factors outside its control as harvests rely on climate conditions, while exchange rate fluctuations, consumer health consciousness and downstream fruit processors' strength influence demand. However, the buying power of the major supermarkets, Coles and Woolworths, provide farms with visibility at the individual level as large contracts provide stable recurring revenue streams. In addition, fruit processors are a significant market for many apple, pear and stone fruit growers, particularly in regions such as Victoria's Goulburn Valley. Growing demand from export markets in Asia will provide an opportunity for industry growth over the long term.

5.6 Market overview – Global Milk Powder Market

The Global Milk Powder market size was valued at US\$34.6 billion in 2023 and total revenue within the sector is expected grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2024 to 2032, to reach approximately US\$57.2 billion.13

Milk powder is a dry dairy product made by evaporating milk to dehydrate it. Making milk powder has the goal of extending the shelf life of milk without the need of a refrigerator. Whole milk powder, skimmed milk powder, dairy whitener, and various varieties of milk powder are available. It is commonly consumed around the world due to its nutritional benefits, and is used in infant formulae, confectionaries, baked pastries, and savoury dishes.

The top key players in the Global Milk Powder Market are Arla Foods amba, Dairy Farmers of America Inc., Danone, Dean Foods Company, and Fonterra Co-operative Group.

Growth in the Global Milk Powder market is driven by factors such as an increase in the usage of milk powder in infant foods, the availability of many nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B12, thiamine, and high levels of protein and lower storage and transportation costs. The inclusion of preservatives, adulteration, and tight infant food rules, on the other hand, hamper the growth of the Global Milk Powder market. The development of flavoured milk powder has opened new commercial potential.

Most of Australia's dairy exports are to markets in Asia, including Greater China, Japan, and SE Asia. Greater China is the largest export market for Australia, with dairy exports of \$1.27 billion (37% of total dairy exports by value) in 2020.14

China is the largest global dairy market and a significant importer of dairy products, importing 3.1 billion tonnes of dairy products valued at US\$9.4 billion (\$12.8 billion) in 2020. Despite an increase in domestic dairy production, dairy exports to China increased by 43% over the five years to 2020.15 The implementation of the China-Australia free trade agreement in 2015 provided a significant boost to Australian dairy exports to China, with tariffs for dairy products gradually decreasing, and all tariffs to be abolished by 2026.16

The most significant dairy exports from Australia to China are Infant Formula as well as other milk powder products, with total exports of US\$316 million (\$431 million) in 2020. However, exports of liquid milk are increasing significantly as Chinese consumers look to add foods of higher nutritional value to their diets. Between 2016 and 2020 exports of liquid milk to China increased by 33%.17

Australia is generally regarded by Chinese consumers as a high quality and reliable source of dairy products, for example ranking third behind New Zealand and the Netherlands as the most trusted export source of infant formula in a survey conducted in January 2021. 18

The Food Service and Industrial Food Manufacturing market supplies commercial food sectors including cafes, full-service restaurants, hotels, QSR chains and caterers. This market was estimated to generate approximately US\$61.98 billion in sales in Australia in 2024. 19

Several key trends characterise how the Food Service and Industrial Food Manufacturing market segment is growing and how players can capitalise on available opportunities:

  • Large number of food franchise brands There is a significant number of food franchise brands in Australia. This drives the requirement for brands to have a secure supply chain for ingredients that are replicable in quantity and available Australia-wide.
  • Demand for convenience stores Supermarkets and grocery stores have expanded their convenience food options. There is an increased demand for convenience meals.
  • Corporate requirement for single serve foods Aged care, hospitals, schools and the armed forces are among the large customers that require single serve foods and industrial food manufacturers require consistent ingredients provided in bulk to supply this market.

5.8 Regulation and policy

F&V processors face moderate regulatory pressures, and this trend has remained largely steady over the past five years.

The industry must adhere to various food and health regulations, mainly the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) and Australian Consumer Law (ACL) under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth). No national regulatory food safety requirements are specific to the production and processing of industry products. The industry is also regulated by various state-level agencies.

The FSANZ places labelling requirements on industry players, under which manufacturers are required to provide information on percentage share of ingredients used, nutritional value of the product, and country of origin.

Additionally, FSANZ requires all food manufacturers to establish whether their raw ingredients (including additives and processing aids) contain any genetically modified food by undergoing safety assessment. Final food products must then be labelled accordingly to provide consumers with adequate information.

5.9 Barriers to entry

Businesses that operate in the Global and Domestic Food and Beverage market continue to experience tailwinds related to growing per capita incomes, shifting consumer preferences towards convenient meal options and an increasing focus on health and wellness. These trends are driving innovation and expansion within the sector, creating greater opportunities for growth and market penetration.

However, potential competitors looking to enter the sector must consider navigating various barriers to entry, as outlined below:

  • Product portfolio – Customers prefer to use fewer suppliers and hence prefer dealing with larger manufacturers who can provide a comprehensive product offering. As such, offering a wide variety of products enhances a brand's exposure and ability to serve a wide set of customers.
  • Brands and quality – Customers usually look to purchase from brands that have a reputation for being reliable, high quality and reasonably priced. As such, establishing a strong brand presence and maintaining high-quality standards are crucial in gaining consumer trust and loyalty in a competitive market.

19 Mordor Intelligence, Australia Foodservice Market Size

  • Customer relationships – Building and nurturing customer relationships within the Food and Beverage market is essential for long-term success, as loyal customers often drive repeat business and promote brand awareness.
  • Local manufacturing – Parochial key customers and working capital implications of customers holding inventory, make it more challenging for new players to enter the market without local manufacturing. Existing players are also able to reduce transportation costs and ensure products remain fresh.
  • Economies of scale – A number of key manufacturers have substantial capital invested, significant productive capacity and string relationships with key customers. As a result, existing manufacturers benefit from economies of scale and can compete strongly on price.
  • Environmental and corporate responsibility – A number of larger corporates require that suppliers have independently audited and verified environmental standards and corporate responsibility policies. Demonstrating environmental and corporate responsibility can enhance a brand's reputation and appeal to socially conscious consumers.
  • Legal – F&V processors, particularly in the fruit juice space, face stringent food safety, labelling and environmental regulation, necessitating strict legal compliance and potentially affecting business operations.
  • Start-up costs F&V processing is capital-intensive in nature and can deter new entrants as significant investment is required into marketing, research and development as well as setting up facilities, machinery and equipment.

SPC's presence in Australia is enhanced by field team offices in Melbourne (SPC Headquarters), Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.

7.2 What is the SPC Group's business model and strategy?

SPC traces its roots to 1917 when it commenced operations from its Shepparton based factory in regional Victoria, Australia. With over 100 years of history, from the inception of SPC as a grower cooperative to becoming one of Australia's most loved brands, SPC has continued to nourish Australian families through its expanded range of quality and healthy processed products.

The SPC business was owned by Coca Cola Amatil from 2005 until 2019. During this time, the customer demand for SPC's products remained strong and a strong brand and physical asset value was developed and preserved. However, the business was operationally deprioritised within the broader Coca Cola Amatil franchise, leading to Coca Cola Amatil seeking to sell the business in 2019.

SPC was incorporated on 10 May 2019 as 'Shepparton Partners Collective Pty Ltd' for the purpose of acquiring the SPC business from Coca Cola Amatil pursuant to a business purchase agreement that completed on 28 June 2019 (Coca-Cola Acquisition).

Following the Coca-Cola Acquisition, SPC converted to a public company and changed its name to 'Shepparton Partners Collective Limited' on 5 December 2019 and on 5 July 2021, SPC changed its name to 'SPC Global Limited'.

Since the Coca-Cola Acquisition in 2019, SPC has undertaken a significant corporate turnaround strategy as a standalone business. SPC's turnaround has been premised on four key phases as outlined in the following table:

Phase Key Objectives Status
Phase 1
Rebuilding the infrastructure
and separation from Coca
Cola Amatil

Separate from Coca Cola Amatil and become a
standalone entity by building its own support
services.
Rebuild fundamental business infrastructure.

innovation.
At the start of
this journey
Phase 4
Transforming SPC into a
diversified global business
Reduce costs and improve utilisation of assets and
manufacturing resources.
At the start of
this journey

The success of SPC's turnaround strategy can be contextualised through the following ten tangible achievements which has seen specific change in the business since it operated under Coca Cola Amatil ownership.

Key business change Description of initiatives already completed
Driving growth Investment into brand & product innovation to drive business growth.
Divestment and
acquisitions
Divestment of high sugar IXL jam and Taylor sauce divisions.
Acquisition of Pomlife and Kuisine (under the Good Meal Co brand), and the
creation of the Street Eats brand and product range.
Branding Complete rebranding of SPC including its logo and tag lines to better
communicate SPC's values to Australians – "Better Food For The Future".
Stock Keeping Unit
Rationalisation
Elimination of underperforming Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) and unprofitable
contracts. Over 400 SKUs were removed within the first six months following
the carve out from Coca Cola Amatil.
Information Technology Replacement of out-of-date ERP system with Microsoft Dynamic 365 system.
Capital Program Elimination of obsolete equipment and redesign of Shepparton plant layout for
a more efficient process workflow.
Key business change Description of initiatives already completed
Cost Reduction Multiple initiatives including office relocation, renegotiated vendor contracts,
work team restructures and production improvements.
Supporting the Community Deeper engagement through scholarship programs, sponsorships of food
festivals, support of Foodbank and other community engagements.
Growers Relationship Rebuilding trust with Goulburn Valley growers and securing sustainable supply
of raw materials.
Key Management & Culture New executive management team with international industry experience was
introduced to reinvigorate leadership and culture.

Since the carve out from Coca Cola Amatil, SPC has undertaken a number of strategic acquisitions. These acquisitions have complemented SPC's existing product set, but importantly leverage SPC's operational capability and existing supply chain and distribution network to be highly synergistic.

The recent acquisitions can be summarised as follows:

Company Acquisition date Description Strategic rationale
May 2020 Pomegranate-based
product manufacturer
(fresh and frozen)

The acquisition of superfood brand
PomLife in 2020 allowed SPC to
further diversify its product portfolio
to include pomegranate-based
products and appeal to a broader
range of health-conscious
consumers.

As a part of the acquisition, SPC
assumed ownership of Australian
Pomegranate Growers'
manufacturing and processing
plant, increasing the size and scale
of SPC's operations.
October 2020 Kuisine (operating
under the Good Meal
Co brand)
manufactures high
quality prepared
meals and finger

Allows SPC to further diversify into
non-supermarket channels and
develop a unique range of health
related food products targeted
towards the ageing and NDIS
population.
foods
Kuisine had already invested a
significant amount in research and
development and has evolved from
a largely supermarket-distributed
business in 2020 to generate ~50%
of revenues from health services in
2024.

In October 2019, Kuisine was
awarded a second five-year
Company Acquisition date Description Strategic rationale
contract to supply 72% of ready
meal requirements to the NSW
Health hospital network. At full roll
out, this contract will require
provision of 9 million meals per
annum to NSW hospitals.

As an innovative business, Kuisine
has identified that there are no
prepared meals for diabetics in the
Australian market. This is a target
market that SPC intends to add to
its product suite over time.

SPC has also entered into an agreement to acquire Natural Ingredients Pty Ltd, Natural Ingredients Holdings Pty Ltd and Food Forever Pty Ltd (together the Natural Ingredients Group). The Natural Ingredients Group is a supplier of fruit and vegetables to the food manufacturing, food service and retail industries. The acquisition of the Natural Ingredients Group is expected to complete before the SPC Acquisition and is not conditional on completion of the SPC Acquisition.

The consideration payable by SPC for the acquisition of the Natural Ingredients Group will be:

  • on completion, approximately \$7.1 million split between cash (69%) and SPC shares (31%). The vendor of the Natural Ingredients Group will become a SPC shareholder prior to completion of the SPC Acquisition;
  • on the first anniversary of completion, an amount equal to 25% x (4 x CY24 EBITDA of the Natural Ingredients Group) (less any set-off amount) split between cash (69%) and shares (31%). If SPC is a member of an ASX listed group at this time, SPC has an obligation to procure the listed company, in this case OJC, to issue the shares. The issue price of the shares will be OJC's VWAP over the 20 trading days immediately prior to the issue date; and
  • on the second anniversary of completion, an amount equal to 10% x (4 x CY25 EBITDA of the Natural Ingredients Group) (less any set-off amount) split between cash (69%) and shares (31%). If SPC is a member of an ASX listed group at this time, SPC has an obligation to procure the listed company, in this case OJC, to issue the shares. The issue price of the shares will be OJC's VWAP over the 20 trading days immediately prior to the issue date.

SPC has a multi-pronged sales and distribution strategy, to a diverse range of customers. SPC's largest and core sales channel is through its retail distribution network to major supermarkets such as Coles and Woolworths, with this channel contributing 54% of total revenue in FY24. However, SPC has established strong relationships in other segments of the market and is only at the start of its journey in capitalising on these market opportunities. There is significant opportunity for SPC to continue to grow in other sales channels, expanding its addressable market, specifically:

  • Industrial Opportunity to expand product set to meet customer needs in this market.
  • Care Tailwinds in this market as the NDIS program in Australia grows, with SPC set to win share by expanding frozen meal offering.
  • International Enhanced through acquisition of the powdered milk business of Nature One Dairy.

SPC operates through four sales channels as outlined in the following table:

9 Information about the Merged Group

This Section provides information about the Merged Group.

The statements set out in this Section 9 are statements of current intentions only, which may change as new information becomes available or circumstances change. Any key decisions will only be reached after implementation when all material facts and circumstances are known to the board of the Merged Group.

9.1 Overview of the Merged Group

The Merged Group will be created on Completion and the scale of OJC's existing operations will be materially expanded as a consequence.

As a result of the SPC Acquisition, SPC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of OJC.

As a result of the Nature One Dairy Acquisition, the Nature One Dairy Business will become owned by OJC.

For further information in relation to the existing operations of OJC, SPC and the Nature One Dairy Business refer to Sections 6, 7 and 8 respectively.

9.2 What will the Merged Group's strategy be?

Following Completion, under its strategic plan, the Merged Group aims to evolve from purely an Australian-focused heritage brand to a globally diversified and recognised household name and significant player in the global Fast-Moving Consumer Goods industry. The Merged Group will be a diversified business, leveraging the existing strong platforms of OJC, SPC and the Nature One Dairy Business as well as having a product platform of scale to expand into new markets and geographies.

Strategic rationale of the SPC Acquisition

Strategically, the combination of OJC and SPC will allow the Merged Group to fast-track its beverage strategy to enter into the functional beverages/health market including the sale of juice for the aged care market.

Entry into the non-alcoholic beverage category, as an adjacent category, has been part of SPC's strategic plans since the carve out from Coca-Cola Amatil in 2019. OJC's fruit based and functional beverages would both strategically complement SPC's core business, as well as provide meaningful scale to an additional category and consequent revenue stream. Through its current fruit processing and canning capability, SPC is one of Australia's largest juicers, although it does not sell its juice, but rather uses the juice in the processing of its fruit snacks. OJC's processing technology is therefore very familiar to SPC's competence set.

OJC is a leader in functional beverages, with varying channel specific pack formats including wellness shots, with aggressive plans on expanding its offering to meet the functional needs of consumers with specific nutritional and dietary requirements. OJC is considering developing products that will be certified by the Therapeutic Goods Administration to address the requirements of such consumers.

Accordingly, as OJC is a natural extension of SPC's channel and product offering in the Australian market, there is a strong strategic fit between OJC and SPC, including:

Significantly enhanced scale SPC produces a broad range of food products under its iconic Australian
brands, across its core tomato, peach, apricot, plum, apple and pear
based products and generated approximately \$244 million of net sales
revenue in FY23 and approximately \$235 million of net sales revenue in
FY24. This significantly enhances OJC's current juice-based product
offerings which derives approximately \$42 million of net sales revenue in
FY23 and approximately \$49 million of net sales revenue in FY24.

Acquiring a business with strong asset value and brand equity

Having been carved out from Coca-Cola Amatil in 2019, SPC has retained considerable asset value in its plant and equipment. These assets were not revalued to their market values at the date of acquisition and the cost model outlined in AASB 116 has been adopted. Based on an independent valuation received by SPC in February 2023 for insurance purposes, these assets have an insured replacement value of \$298.2m.

Additionally, SPC holds some of Australia's most iconic and recognisable food brands – specifically SPC, Ardmona, Goulburn Valley, ProVital, Pomlife, the Good Meal Co, and Street Eats – some of which have been invested in for over 100 years.

The SPC, Ardmona, Goulburn Valley and Provital brands owned by the
Group are recorded in the SPC balance sheet at a combined value of \$1.
As AASB 138 precludes the inclusion of the revaluation of brands on the
balance sheet, the SPC directors undertook a valuation of these brands
in July 2023 to provide an assessment of the fair value of these assets.
The directors' valuation of the SPC, Ardmona, Goulburn Valley and
Provital brands as of 2 July 2023 resulted in an aggregate value of \$45
million to \$50 million. It should be noted that the valuation is subjective in
nature and involves significant management judgment. Changes in key
assumptions or market conditions could result in different valuations in
the future.
The directors engaged an independent party in September 2023 to
review the assumptions used in the directors' valuation. In their report,
this independent party concluded that the assumptions used by the
directors were reasonable in the circumstances, and that the conclusion
as to fair value reached by the directors was consistent with the
assumptions adopted.
Product diversification which is
counter-cyclical
SPC is a large producer of tomato-based products in Australia. Tomatoes
have a ~12-week seasonal production window between February and
April each year. Conversely as a predominantly citrus-based juice
producer, OJC's core production months are between May and
November each year. This allows the Merged Group to more effectively
and efficiently operate throughout the year, thereby increasing overall
production and manage inventory flows.
Enhanced production capacity OJC's production capacity is currently constrained at its existing
manufacturing facility. SPC's production facility in Shepparton sits on
approximately 235km2 of land, with an annual production capacity of
150,000 tonnes across multiple products. Importantly, SPC has currently
multiple unused spaces at its Shepparton facility, any one of which could
facilitate the increase of OJC's production processes, allowing OJC to
materially increase its annual production volumes to meet customer
demand.
Highly synergistic and
operational efficiencies
SPC and OJC have identified numerous synergies and operational
efficiencies that may be realised from the combined business. SPC and
OJC close business alignment will provide access to enhanced
distribution and supply chain efficiencies.

Highly experienced and knowledgeable Board and management team

SPC's Board and management team has undertaken a highly successful corporate turnaround since acquiring the business from Coca-Cola Amatil in 2019. The Merged Group board and management team intend to continue with this turnaround program of work to further improve SPC's operations.

Diversified product categories

The Merged Group will operate in the Food and Beverage Industry in Australia. From production, processing, manufacturing, packaging and retail, Food and Beverage is a major industry sector for the Australian economy in terms of its size, its financial contribution and employment.

Since 2019, SPC has significantly streamlined operations and leveraged its existing product portfolio of iconic products to expand the go-to market opportunity. SPC distributes products through four distinct channels as follows which will be the platform upon which the Merged Group will go-to market:

  • SPC Retail – The retail grocery division supplies both branded and private label products to national supermarkets, club stores and grocery chains which have consistently contributed over 60% of domestic sales.
  • SPC Food Solutions & Industrial – These products are sold into the Food Service and Industrial market and products are similar to the Grocery product range but are in different packaging formats that also cater for other food manufacturers who may use SPC products to manufacture their own goods.
  • SPC Care Sales Channel – A division of SPC that focuses on providing new and innovative functional foods for the Healthcare and Aged Care market.
  • SPC International – A dedicated unit focused on the import and export of food products and ingredients.

There is a significant opportunity for the Merged Group to leverage its combined platform to expand within current channels and enter into new product categories as shown in the following diagram:

Strategic rationale of the Nature One Dairy Acquisition

The Nature One Dairy Acquisition unlocks a new chapter of strategic growth and export opportunities for the Merged Group. The specific strategic benefits to be harnessed from the acquisition include:

  • Security of supply – By acquiring a leasehold interest in the manufacturing facility at Carrum Downs in Melbourne, the Merged Group will be able to mitigate risks associated with thirdparty suppliers and allocate resources more efficiently across its manufacturing facilities.
  • Ownership of the branded products – Acquisition of nine proprietary brands including Nature One, Ripple, AU-12, Glucocare and more, providing revenue diversification and greater control over product positioning in domestic and global markets.
  • Distribution strategy – By broadening its portfolio with an expanded range of branded products, the Merged Group not only diversifies its offerings and distribution channels but also mitigates risks associated with seasonal variations.
  • Market opportunities – Leveraging the existing market presence of the Nature One Dairy Business in Australia and Asia presents an opportunity for the Merged Group to penetrate new markets efficiently.
  • Category expansion – The convergence of customers and channels provides an opportunity for the Merged Group to differentiate its product portfolio by integrating the Nature One Dairy Business's extensive range of milk powder offerings into its portfolio.
  • Revenue and cost synergies – The Merged Group foresees multiple opportunities to release revenue and cost synergies through the Proposed Transaction.

9.3 Synergies and cost efficiencies

Both OJC and SPC operate in the Australian fruit industry, and as such share multiple touch points in the extended value chain – including with suppliers (e.g., Goulburn Valley growers and packaging suppliers), as well as front-end customers. The Merged Group has identified a number of synergies and cost efficiencies which are expected to be realised.

Overview of synergies and cost efficiencies

The Merged Group intends to derive synergies and cost efficiencies by combining key resources:

(a) Increased capacity with additional site utilisation – Ability to further utilise Shepparton processing site

Cost savings from OJC benefiting in utilising SPC's facility in Shepparton with additional volume and processing potential in the heart of the Goulburn Valley.

(b) Reduction in duplication and SG&A – Cost rationalisation of business functions and key overheads that are currently duplicated across OJC and SPC.

The Merged Group will be able to eliminate duplicate functions, reduce overheads, and achieve economies of scale thereby leading to lower production costs, higher profit margins, an ability to appropriately re-invest in growth opportunities and overall increased competitiveness. Elimination of duplication of administrative functions such as finance, procurement IT, HR, etc., as well as a reduction in operating expenses such as insurance and similar cost categories.

(c) Savings on third party supply costs – Cost savings on procurement and freight costs.

Synergies have been determined to exist in procurement categories of electricity and gas supply by streamlining procurement practices. Freight savings are also derived from the change in freight legs, with the source of fruit being in closer proximity to the manufacturing location, with additional production in the Shepparton facility. It is expected that these freight savings will be achieved across citrus and apple fruit raw material sourcing.

(d) Supply and cost efficiencies from new juice production line – Cost savings from more efficient juice production line at processing facilities, as well as revenue synergies by lifting the constraints on OJC's production.

OJC currently has a physical manufacturing space constraint that is hindering its ability to fully service demand from existing customers and consequently its ability to grow. For OJC to achieve additional growth in the ordinary course (absent the merger with SPC), it would need

Increasing the production capacity without the current space constraint will also cater for additional national and international demand and extend to the SPC customer base, with the opportunity for cross-selling. Importantly, however, these expanded target market and crosssell opportunities are not factored into the synergy numbers outlined in this Section.

Costs of implementation

The Merged Group expects there to be a number of one-off costs in relation to the integration of the businesses – all transitional costs and upgrade costs have been factored into the strategic rational.

9.4 How will the Merged Group be structured?

The anticipated corporate structure of the Merged Group following Completion is set out on the next page.

9.7 How will the Merged Group be financed?

It is expected that the Merged Group's operations in the short term will be financed out of a debt facility, cash balances and operating cash flows. The OJC Directors and the Proposed Directors believe that OJC, SPC and Nature One Dairy's current cash flows plus the funds from the debt facility will be sufficient to fund the Merged Group's stated business objectives. After Completion, it is possible the Merged Group may need to raise further capital to continue to fund its ongoing working capital requirements.

(a) Debt facility

Completion of the Proposed Transaction is conditional on satisfaction of all conditions precedent to draw down under new debt funding facilities under a consortium of lenders.

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, OJC / SPC has received non-binding indicative offers from an Australian non-bank lender and a global lender with an aggregated facility in excess of \$129 million. Term sheets relating to these offers are subject to further negotiation and the aggregated debt facility for the merged entity is subject to finalisation, including the finalisation of due diligence and obtaining of final credit approval from the lenders.

It is expected that this debt facility will be effective from Completion, and that the funds will be utilised to:

  • assist OJC in completing the SPC Acquisition;
  • repay existing debt which will strengthen the Merged Group's balance sheet and provide financial flexibility to pursue further potential business acquisitions as they may present themselves;
  • re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, which will enable OJC to apply for reinstatement to Official Quotation post-completion of the Proposed Transaction; and
  • pay for other transaction costs associated with the Proposed Transaction;
  • partially fund integration of the businesses; and
  • provide additional capital for growth and general working capital of the Merged Group.

(b) Pro forma net cash

The Merged Group has pro forma (unaudited) cash of \$8.6 million as at 30 June 2024.

(c) Transaction costs

Certain costs will be incurred by OJC and SPC in connection with the Proposed Transaction, which include due diligence, advisor, legal, printing and other service provider costs which are estimated at \$6.1 million in total. These costs will be funded from the new debt facility and cash balances of each of OJC and SPC.

(d) Pro forma equity and indebtedness

The table below sets out the pro forma equity and indebtedness of the Merged Group as at 30 June 2024.

9.8 Who will be the directors of the Merged Group?

Following Completion, the directors of the Merged Group will be Hussein Rifai, Robert Iervasi, Andrew Cohen, Kerry Smith and Adam Brooks, with Hon. Jeff Kennett AC, Tao (Norman) Li, Jacqueline Phillips and David Marchant resigning. It is expected that Hussein Rifai will be the Chair of the Merged Group.

Kerry Smith and Adam Brooks are current directors of OJC and Resolutions 6A to 6C seek OJC Shareholder approval for the appointment of Hussein Rifai, Robert Iervasi and Andrew Cohen, respectively.

The experience, skills and qualifications of each of Hussein Rifai, Robert Iervasi and Andrew Cohen are set out in Section 4.7.

9.9 Who will be the key management personnel of the Merged Group?

9.11 Corporate governance of the Merged Group

The board of the Merged Group is responsible for the corporate governance of the Merged Group.

The Merged Group intends to remain listed on ASX.

The ASX Corporate Governance Council has developed and released the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, 4th edition (ASX Recommendations) for Australian listed entities in order to promote investor confidence and to assist companies to meet stakeholder expectations. The Merged Group is required to provide a statement in its annual report disclosing the extent to which it has followed the ASX Recommendations in the reporting period.

The proposed Merged Group board believes it is important that the Merged Group is properly managed to protect and enhance shareholder interests, and that the Merged Group, its directors, officers, employees and contractors operate in an appropriate environment.

Both the OJC Board and proposed Merged Group board believes, notwithstanding the substantial changes to OJC as a result of the completion of the Proposed Transaction and the issue of the OJC Shares to the SPC Shareholders and the Nature One Dairy Shareholder that OJC will still in most respects comply with the ASX Recommendations, noting that on Completion, OJC will not have a majority of independent directors, nor will it have an independent chairman.

The Merged Group intends that OJC's existing charters, policies and procedures will remain effective immediately following completion of the Proposed Transaction. Those corporate governance charters and policies reflect the ASX Recommendations to the extent the board considers it reasonable for the Merged Group to comply with them.

9.12 Dividend policy of the Merged Group

It is anticipated that the Merged Group will grow its business organically over at least the 2 year period following completion of the Proposed Transaction. These activities, together with the possible acquisition of interests in other projects, are expected to dominate at least the 2 year period following completion of the Proposed Transaction.

In assessing the dividend payment in future periods, the directors may consider a number of factors, including the general business environment, the operating results and financial condition of the Merged Group, future funding requirements, capital management initiatives, tax considerations, any contractual, legal or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Merged Group, and any other factors that the directors may consider relevant.

No assurance can be given by any person, including the directors, about the payment of any dividend and the level of franking on such dividend.

9.13 Voluntary escrow

OJC has entered into voluntary escrow arrangements with:

  • (a) certain shareholders of OJC in respect of their existing OJC shareholding;
  • (b) certain large shareholders of SPC in respect of the SPC Consideration Shares; and
  • (c) the Nature One Dairy Shareholder in respect of some of the Nature One Dairy Consideration Shares.

Specifically, OJC intends to enter into voluntary escrow arrangements with:

  • (d) in respect of existing OJC shares, current OJC director Kerry Smith, who, post Completion, will have an interest in 2.60% of OJC's undiluted share capital;
  • (e) in respect of the SPC Consideration Shares:
  • (i) Hajer Pty Ltd (being an entity related to Hussein Rifai), who, post Completion, will have an interest in 11.98% of OJC's undiluted share capital;
  • (ii) Nehoc Pty Ltd (being an entity related to Andrew Cohen), who, post Completion, will have an interest in 8.29% of OJC's undiluted share capital;

  • (iv) Brandt Family Holdings Pty Ltd, who, post Completion, will have an interest in 3.99% of OJC's undiluted share capital,

who will collectively have an interest in 27.46% of OJC's undiluted share capital post Completion; and

(f) in respect of the Nature One Dairy Consideration Shares, the Nature One Dairy Shareholder, who, post Completion, will have an interest in 4.78% of OJC's undiluted share capital on behalf of Topshield International Pte Ltd (being an entity related to Nick Dimopoulos), 21

(together, the Escrowed Shareholders).

On completion of the Proposed Transaction, approximately 34.85% of OJC's undiluted share capital will be subject to voluntary escrow arrangements.

Pursuant to the Voluntary Escrow Deed, Escrowed Shareholders will be subject to the following escrow arrangements:

  • (g) 80% of their OJC Shares will be escrowed on re-listing (Escrowed Shares); 22
  • (h) if, at 9.00am on the trading day following the day that OJC announces its half year results for the six month period ending 31 December 2024 (ASX Appendix 4D) (Release Date), OJC's daily VWAP of the OJC Shares:
  • (i) exceeds 20% above the re-listing price for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days prior to the Release Date (Condition), 20% of the Escrowed Shares will be released from escrow on the Release Date; or
  • (ii) does not exceed the Condition, no Escrowed Shares will be released from escrow on the Release Date; and
  • (i) the balance of the Escrowed Shares will be released from escrow at 9.00am on the trading day following the day that the Company announces its preliminary full year results (ASX Appendix 4E) for the 12 month period ending 30 June 2025,
  • ((h) and (i) together, the Escrow Period).

20 Post Completion, The Eights Nominees Pty Ltd will have an interest in 15.18% of OJC's undiluted share capital, but only 3.20% held on behalf of Selva Nithan Thirunavukarasu will be subject to escrow. 21 Post Completion, the Nature One Dairy Shareholder will have an interest in 14.75% of OJC's undiluted share capital, but only 4.78% held on behalf of Topshield International Pte Ltd (being an entity related to Nick Dimopoulos) will be subject to escrow.

22 Post Completion:

The Eights Nominees Pty Ltd will have an interest in 15.18% of OJC's undiluted share capital, but only 3.20% held on behalf of Selva Nithan Thirunavukarasu will be subject to voluntary escrow; and

the Nature One Dairy Shareholder will have an interest in 14.75% of OJC's undiluted share capital, but only 4.78% held on behalf of Topshield International Pte Ltd (being an entity related to Nick Dimopoulos) will be subject to escrow.

10.4 Transaction costs

Certain costs will be incurred by OJC and SPC in connection with the Proposed Transaction, which include due diligence, advisor, legal, printing and other service provider costs which are estimated at \$6.1 million in total.

11 Risk Factors

Before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in this Section 11 and other information contained in this document and seek independent professional advice.

This Section 11 provides a summary of risks only. It does not take into account the investment objectives, financial situation, taxation position or particular needs of OJC Shareholders.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to OJC, or which OJC considers to be immaterial, may also have an adverse effect on the value of OJC Shares. The information set out below does not purport to be, nor should it be construed as representing, an exhaustive summary of all possible risks.

11.1 Introduction

This Section 11 outlines the key risks, but not all risks, associated with an investment in the Merged Group and the value of the OJC Shares and other risks of which OJC Shareholders should be aware.

These risks include risks specific to the Proposed Transaction, risks to the Merged Group and general risks.

11.2 Risks specific to the Proposed Transaction

(a) Re-quotation of Securities

OJC is seeking OJC Shareholder approval under Resolution 1 for OJC to change the scale of its activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 and pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3 in order to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

ASX has an absolute discretion in deciding whether or not to re-admit the Merged Group to the Official List. Accordingly, there is a risk that the Merged Group may not be able to meet the requirements of ASX for re-quotation of its Shares following Completion.

However, OJC has structured and negotiated the terms of the Proposed Transaction with its ability to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules front of mind. By issuing the Prospectus, completing the Proposed Transaction and the Priority Offer, and undertaking the various other steps described or contemplated in this Notice of Meeting, OJC anticipates that it will be able to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

OJC has also sought in-principle advice from ASX in which ASX has set out, on an in-principle basis, that it has not identified any reasons to date, to exercise its discretion to prevent the Merged Group from being re-admitted to the Official List. This advice is non-binding and cannot be relied upon to prevent ASX from exercising its discretion as it sees fit.

In the event that the Merged Group is not re-admitted to the Official List after Completion, the suspension of the quotation of the Merged Group's securities may continue until the Merged Group has satisfied the requirements of ASX for re-quotation. As a result, shareholders may be prevented from trading their Shares in the Merged Group until such time as the Merged Group does re-comply with the ASX Listing Rules.

(b) Dilution risk

OJC's existing share capital will comprise 29,625,750 OJC Shares (subject to fractional rounding) on issue after the Share Consolidation, and OJC will additionally issue:

  • (i) up to 132,707,118 OJC Shares (on a post-Share Consolidation basis) to the SPC Shareholders (in aggregate) under the SPC Acquisition;
  • (ii) up to 28,333,333 OJC Shares (on a post-Share Consolidation basis, and excluding the Nature One Dairy Holdback Consideration Shares) to the Nature One Dairy Shareholder under the Nature One Dairy Acquisition;
  • (iii) a minimum of 666,667 OJC Shares (on a post-Share Consolidation basis) under the Priority Offer; and

(iv) the Other Share Issues, subject to OJC Shareholder approval (as applicable).

Consequently, each OJC Share on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting will represent a significantly lower proportion of ownership in OJC following Completion.

(c) Concentration of ownership

Following completion of the SPC Acquisition, the Nature One Dairy Acquisition, the Priority Offer and the Other Share Issues, existing OJC Shareholders, SPC Shareholders, the Nature One Dairy Shareholder and the Priority Offer investors will hold 15.75%, 69.15%, 14.75% and 0.35% of the total number of OJC Shares respectively.

There will therefore be a concentration of ownership of the Merged Group among the SPC Shareholders and the Nature One Dairy Shareholder. This may allow the SPC Shareholders and/or the Nature One Dairy Shareholder to exert significant influence over matters relating to the Merged Group, including the election of future directors or the approval of future transactions involving the Merged Group. Also, given the size of the shareholdings, there may be an impact on the liquidity of the Merged Group's securities.

However, this risk should not be taken as a representation that the SPC Shareholders and/or the Nature One Dairy Shareholder will act in concert with one another, likely exercise their voting rights as shareholders in the same manner, or that the SPC Shareholders and/or the Nature One Dairy Shareholder as a whole are associated parties, post-completion of the Proposed Transaction.

(d) The Merged Group may not successfully integrate SPC and the Nature One Dairy Business

Historically, OJC, SPC and the Nature One Dairy Business have operated independently. In conjunction with completion of the Proposed Transaction, OJC will complete the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition and will begin the process of integrating the OJC, SPC and Nature One Dairy businesses. The integration of a business of the size and nature of SPC or the Nature One Dairy Business carries risk, including potential delays or costs in implementing necessary changes and difficulties in integrating various operations. The success of the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition, and the ability to realise the expected benefits of the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition outlined in this Notice of Meeting (including any synergies), is dependent on the effective and timely integration of SPC's and Nature One Dairy's respective businesses alongside OJC's business. A failure to fully integrate the operations of SPC or the Nature One Dairy Business, or a delay in the integration process, could impose unexpected costs or prevent the realisation of benefits that may adversely affect the financial performance and position of the Merged Group. The attention of certain members of Merged Group's management and resources may also, at time, be focused on integration of the businesses of OJC, SPC and Nature One Dairy and diverted from day-to-day business operations, which may disrupt Merged Group's ongoing business.

(e) The operational synergies attributable to the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition may vary from expectations

The future success of the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition, including the anticipated synergies and cost savings, depends, in part, on Merged Group's ability to optimise its operations. The optimisation of Merged Group's operations following the completion of the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition will be a complex, costly and time-consuming process and if the Merged Group experiences difficulties in this process, the anticipated benefits may not be realised fully or at all, or may take longer to realise than expected, which could have an adverse effect on the Merged Group for an undetermined period.

The Merged Group expects to achieve material operational synergies through the utilisation by OJC of the existing production facilities of the SPC business. These benefits could take longer than anticipated to be realised and could result in the disruption of each company's ongoing businesses, tax costs or inefficiencies, or inconsistencies in standards, controls, information technology systems, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect Merged Group's ability to maintain relationships with customers, employees or other third parties, or

the Merged Group's ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transaction and could harm its financial performance.

The Merged Group anticipates that the combination of OJC, SPC and the Nature One Dairy Business will benefit from the advantages of supply chain and production synergies. However, the anticipated benefits of the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition may not be realised fully or at all or may take longer to realise than expected. Actual operating, production, supply chain, strategic and revenue opportunities, if achieved at all, may be less significant than expected or may take longer to achieve than anticipated. If Merged Group is not able to achieve these objectives and realise the anticipated benefits and synergies expected from the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition within the anticipated timing or at all, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially adversely affected.

In addition, there is no guarantee that once such process has been completed the Merged Group will operate in a manner that is more efficient, organised, effective and competitive as a whole than OJC, SPC and Nature One Dairy operated as separate businesses prior to the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition as a result of the expected operating efficiencies and other benefits currently anticipated from the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition.

(f) The Merged Group operates in a competitive industry

The product market in which OJC, SPC and the Nature One Dairy Business are involved is subject to increasing competition. The Merged Group competes with other larger brands and products for retail shelf space at its sales channels and many of its competitors are multinational corporations and other large food and beverage brands, most of whom have significantly more access to capital and resources.

The Merged Group will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, whose activities or actions may positively or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of the Merged Group. Existing competitors, as well as new competitors entering the industry, may engage in aggressive marketing campaigns, introduce price discounting, develop and introduce superior manufacturing processes, adapt more quickly to technological developments, evolving industry trends or customer tastes and requirements or consolidate with other entities to deliver enhanced scale benefits. In doing so competitors may gain market acceptance, and/or place downward pressure on pricing in the product market, which may materially adversely affect the Merged Group's revenue and its financial performance.

(g) Reliance on key suppliers and logistics partners

Whilst the Merged Group has its own facilities from which to manufacture its products, it relies on third parties for the supply of the critical materials that are necessary for the manufacture of its products and logistics partners to distribute its products. These third parties include suppliers of raw materials such as F&Vs. The Merged Group also relies on third-party trucking companies to move products within Australia and third-party shipping companies to move some of its products overseas, third-party stevedores to load and unload products at its port locations, and third-party trucking companies to transport products to and from its port locations, and these third parties are therefore a source of transportation risk.

A number of the Merged Group's contracts require counterparty consent following a change of control. A failure by the Merged Group to satisfy its obligations under change of control provisions may result in contract breaches, which may have unfavourable effects, for example, a contract may be terminated and the Merged Group would need to enter into a new contract with an alternative counterparty, which may be on less favourable terms than existing contracts.

There is a risk that the Merged Group's relationships with its suppliers deteriorate, or these suppliers are unwilling or unable to renew contractual agreements, or that they are unwilling to continue dealing with the Merged Group on the same terms. If these third parties terminate their relationships or are no longer able to provide such materials or services to the Merged Group, the Merged Group may be required to seek alternative suppliers which may cause

delays to production. This could adversely affect the Merged Group's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any extended interruption in Merged Group's ability to distribute its products could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. While the Merged Group believes it is adequately insured and would attempt to transport its products by alternative means if it were to experience an interruption due to a strike, natural disaster or otherwise, it cannot be sure that we would be able to do so, or be successful in doing so, in a timely and cost-effective manner.

(h) Key customer risk

The Merged Group has a relatively concentrated customer base. OJC, SPC and the Nature One Dairy Business sell their products to a concentrated number of large customers, including several large supermarket chains and other retailers. Currently, sales by SPC in its retail channel to its top four customers' accounts (Coles, Woolworths, ALDI and Metcash), accounted for approximately 62% of SPC's total sales and juice sales by OJC accounted for approximately 55% of OJC's total sales in FY24. Sales to Nature One Dairy's top four customers' accounts (Mannings, Coles, Yu Ou International 9HK Limited and its Call Centre), accounted for approximately 60% of Nature One Dairy's total sales.

In FY24, a significant proportion of Merged Group's revenue was generated from uncontracted customer relationships, using Merged Group's or the customer's standard terms and conditions and purchase orders and invoices. By their nature these uncontracted customer relationships can be terminated at any time by the relevant customer so there is a risk that Merged Group will be unable to maintain its uncontracted customers. If the Merged Group was to lose one or more of these customers, and the Merged Group is unable to add new customers, its business, financial condition and financial performance could be adversely impacted in the future.

There can also be no guarantee that these customers will continue to purchase the same, similar or greater quantities of the Merged Group's products as they have historically. In addition, there is no certainty as to the volume, price and frequency of any future sales from uncontracted customers.

(i) The Merged Group's future earnings may not be as expected

OJC has undertaken financial and business analysis of SPC and Nature One Dairy in order to determine its attractiveness to OJC and whether to pursue the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition. It is possible that such analysis, and the best estimate assumptions made by OJC, draw conclusions and forecasts that are inaccurate or which will not be realised in due course. To the extent that the actual results achieved by SPC or Nature One Dairy are different than those anticipated, or any unforeseen difficulties emerge in integrating the operations of SPC or Nature One Dairy, there is a risk that the profitability and future earnings of the operations of the Merged Group may differ (including in a materially adverse way) from the performance as described in this Notice of Meeting.

(j) Climate risk

There is a risk that the cost of the Merged Group's inputs and operations may increase as a result of climate factors beyond the Merged Group's control, such as shortages or interruptions due to seasonal fluctuations, weather conditions or climate change. Fresh F&V and dairy produce required for the manufacture of Merged Group's products (for example oranges required for the production of orange juice by OJC), is vulnerable to adverse weather conditions, including windstorms, floods, drought and temperature extremes, which are quite common but difficult to predict, the effects of which may be influenced and intensified by ongoing global climate change. Unfavourable growing conditions can reduce the availability, quality and price of production inputs required by Merged Group. Fresh F&V produce is also vulnerable to crop disease and to pests, which may vary in severity and effect, depending on the stage of production at the time of infection or infestation, the type of treatment applied, climatic conditions and the risks associated with ongoing global climate change.

Prices of raw material F&Vs and dairy products required to manufacture the Merged Group's products may fluctuate and increase due to these climate related risks. The quality of inputs

required for the manufacture of the Merged Group's products might also reduce leading to the production of inferior products. The price of the Merged Group's F&V and dairy inputs agreed with suppliers may be on fixed basis and the Merged Group might not be able to recover these costs if the quality of its products deteriorates. If this occurs, the Merged Group's business, financial condition and financial performance could be adversely impacted in the future.

(k) Retaining and attracting new key management personnel

The Merged Group will rely to a significant extent on the continued service of its key executives. The Merged Group's continued growth depends on its ability to identify, recruit and retain key management personnel. It may be difficult to replace key personnel, or to do so in a timely manner, or at comparable expense. Additionally, any key personnel of the Merged Group who leave to work for a competitor may adversely impact the Merged Group.

The Merged Group's ability to attract and retain suitable staff may impact upon service standards to clients, relationships with suppliers and on operating performance more generally. Also, increases in recruitment, wages and contractor costs, or employment related claims or industrial disputes may adversely impact upon the financial performance of the Merged Group.

(l) Reliance on manufacturing facilities

Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Merged Group's products will be manufactured in Australia and Thailand. The equipment and management systems necessary to operate the Merged Group's manufacturing facilities may break down, perform poorly, fail, or be impacted by a fire or major weather event (such as a flood, storm or cyclone), resulting in manufacturing delays, increased manufacturing costs or an inability to meet customer demand.

Any significant or sustained interruption to the Merged Group's manufacturing facilities, may adversely impact production capacity and as a result, the Merged Group's financial performance and prospects.

(m) Employment law and cost of labour

Increases in labour costs, as well as increased unionisation activities on the part of the Merged Group's employees, may have an adverse effect on the Merged Group's costs and financial performance. Further, any non-compliance with employment and labour laws and regulations could result in the Merged Group being liable for back-payments, fines or additional taxes and may also result in enforcement action.

Approximately 76% of SPC's employees are covered by enterprise bargaining agreements and other workplace agreements, which periodically require renegotiation and renewal. In addition, as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, 88 OJC employees are covered by enterprise bargaining agreements and other work place agreements. At present, the Merged Group is currently party to enterprise agreements covering its business. Unions are associated with employee coverage under these agreements. Disputes may arise in the course of renegotiations which have the potential to lead to strikes or other forms of industrial action that could disrupt the Merged Group's operations. Employees are entitled to take protected industrial action in support of bargaining negotiations for a new enterprise agreement provided they satisfy certain legislative requirements under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth). Any renegotiations could result in increased labour costs for the Merged Group.

(n) Occupational health and safety

The Merged Group has operating manufacturing facilities located in Australia and Thailand. These facilities are equipped with advanced manufacturing and packaging equipment, enabling highly automated manufacturing processes. Nevertheless, the Merged Group's manufacturing processes still require people to be involved in the manufacturing process.

As a result, the Merged Group is exposed to risks associated with the occupational health and safety of its employees. These risks include hazardous material exposure for staff, injuries associated with the servicing and operation of machinery in the facilities, accidents around the facility and trucks and other hazards. Injuries to employees, or third party distributors and

contractors, may result in costs beyond what is covered under workers compensation schemes. Risks associated with occupational health and safety issues could also lead to civil or criminal liability and sanctions. In addition to the potential for harm to any worker, the occurrence of workplace incidents has the potential to harm both the reputation and financial performance of the Merged Group.

(o) Brand reputation and value

The Merged Group's success is, in part, due to the strength of its branding and its reputation. The Merged Group's products are sold under a number of brands which are owned by the Merged Group. Those brands, their image and their association with high-quality and safe food products, as well as the Merged Group's reputation as a manufacturer, are key assets of the Merged Group. The Merged Group's branding and reputation could be adversely impacted by a number of factors, including quality issues associated with the Merged Group's products (or the market categories of products in which the Merged Group's brands are prominent), produce recall, produce contamination or other public health issues, disputes or litigation with third parties such as partnership or joint venture partners, distributors, employees or third party growers, or adverse media coverage, whether as a result of the Merged Group's conduct or by the conduct of third parties (including suppliers).

The deterioration of the Merged Group's reputation and the value associated with its brand could have an adverse impact on consumer loyalty and retention, the rate of new customer acquisitions, relationships with suppliers, and employee retention rates, all of which may adversely affect the Merged Group's business, financial performance and operations.

In addition, sustainability credentials are an increasingly important factor in stakeholders' perceptions of a company. Should the Merged Group not meet the expectations of its stakeholders or communicate its work in this area sufficiently this may negatively impact our reputation.

(p) Changes in consumer trends and preferences

The Merged Group is subject to changing consumer trends, demands, preferences and attitudes, including a shift in the beliefs, tastes and dietary habits of end consumers. There is a risk that consumer preferences for the Merged Group's products will change in an adverse way. In addition, general public perceptions regarding the quality, safety or health risks associated with particular food products could reduce demand and prices for some of the Merged Group's products. To the extent that consumer preferences evolve away from products that the Merged Group produces for health or other reasons, and the Merged Group is unable to modify its products or to develop products that satisfy new consumer preferences, there will be a decreased demand for the Merged Group's products. Should there be a reduction in demand for the Merged Group's products, this could have a material adverse impact on the financial performance and future prospects of the Merged Group.

(q) Risk of product contamination and product liability claims

The sale of food products for human consumption involves the risk of injury to consumers. Such injuries may result from tampering by unauthorised third parties, quality issues such as product contamination or spoilage, including the presence of foreign objects, substances, chemicals or other agents or residues introduced during the growing, storage, processing, handling or transportation phases. The Merged Group cannot be sure that consumption of its products will not cause a health-related illness in the future, that it will not be subject to claims or lawsuits relating to such matters or that it will not need to initiate recalls of its products in response to the foregoing.

Even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity surrounding any assertion that our products caused illness or injury could adversely affect the Merged Group's reputation with existing and potential customers and its corporate and brand image. Moreover, claims or liabilities of this sort might not be covered by the Merged Group's insurance or by any rights of indemnity or contribution that the Merged Group may have against others. The Merged Group cannot be sure that we will not incur claims or liabilities for which it is not insured or that exceed the amount of the Merged Group's insurance coverage.

(r) Retail environment

There is a risk that an economic downturn could occur in Australia or overseas, which could cause the retail environment to deteriorate as consumers reduce their expenditure generally or reduce their disposable income expenditure on specific discretionary items. This could result in reduced turnover for the Merged Group.

(s) Environmental law compliance

The Merged Group's operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations, and a range of licences and permits are required for the Merged Group to operate its manufacturing operations. Compliance with these laws and related regulations is an ongoing process, and these laws and regulations are frequently revised and generally become stricter over time. If the Merged Group is responsible for any environmental pollution or contamination or is found to be in breach of any of its licences or permits, the Merged Group may incur substantial costs (including fines and remediation costs), its operations may be interrupted, and it may suffer reputational damage.

(t) Growth strategy risk

The Merged Group has developed a growth strategy that includes expansion projects by way of commencing a production and distribution strategy in South East Asia and an acquisition strategy in EMEA.

There is a risk that the Merged Group may not be able to effectively execute its growth strategy and may encounter delays in construction or execution, or operational difficulties, which may lead to increased costs and/or strain management resources or have a negative impact on Merged Group's brand and reputation. As a result, the Merged Group's growth strategies may generate lower than, or later than, expected revenue or incur unforeseen costs.

(u) Future funding requirements

Although the Merged Group believes that, on completion of a new debt facility discussed in Section 9.7(a), it will have sufficient working capital to meet its operational requirements, there can be no assurance that such objectives can be met without further financing or, if further financing is necessary, that financing can be obtained on favourable terms or at all. Furthermore, raising additional funds by issuing equity securities may result in dilution for some or all of the shareholders of the Merged Group.

The Merged Group may seek additional debt funding in the future to finance an expansion of its business. There is no assurance that such debt facilities can be obtained when required or on reasonable terms. Furthermore, if the Merged Group elects to finance an expansion by way of debt facilities, such facilities would introduce financing risks such as interest rate risk and refinancing risk. A breach of existing or future funding terms could have an adverse impact on its business.

(v) Marketing and labelling of food products

The marketing and labelling of any food product in recent years has brought increased risk that consumers will bring class action lawsuits and/or ACCC, or state authorities will bring legal action concerning the truth and accuracy of the marketing and labelling of the product. Examples of causes of action that may be asserted in a consumer class action lawsuit include fraud, unfair trade practices and breach of consumer protection standards, such as the Food Standards Code set out by Food Standards Australia New Zealand.

Even when not merited, class action claims or actions by state authorities can be expensive to defend and adversely affect the Merged Group's reputation with existing and potential customers and consumers and corporate and brand image of the Merged Group, which could have a material and adverse effect on the Merged Group's business, financial condition or results of operations.

The labelling of the Merged Group's products, and their distribution and marketing, is also subject to regulation by governmental authorities in each jurisdiction where the Merged Group's products are marketed. A failure to comply with such labelling requirements could result in enforcement proceedings in the relevant jurisdiction that could materially affect the Merged Group's marketing and distribution.

(w) Cyber and information security

Cyber-attacks and unauthorised access to the Merged Group's information technology environment could lead to operational disruption or theft of data, including commercially sensitive information. This could have a material adverse effect on the Merged Group's business, reputation, operational performance and financial results. As the techniques used to gain unauthorised access to the Merged Group's systems and databases continue to evolve, the Merged Group may be unable to anticipate attempted security breaches. There is no guarantee that the Merged Group will be able to prevent or rectify security breaches or incidents that may occur, or that insurance will be adequate to cover potential financial exposures for one or more of these circumstances. Material cyber security or data breaches may adversely affect the Merged Group's reputation, financial performance and operating results and therefore the value of the OJC Shares.

(x) Intellectual property

The Merged Group will depend on its ability to commercially exploit its technology and intellectual property. The Merged Group will also rely on laws relating to copyright and trademarks to assist in protecting its proprietary rights. However, there is a risk that unauthorised use or copying of the Merged Group's trademarks or brand names. The Merged Group may be required to incur significant expenses in monitoring and protecting its intellectual property rights. The Merged Group may initiate or otherwise be involved in litigation against third parties for infringement, or to establish the validity of, its rights. Any litigation, whether or not it is successful, could result in significant expense to the Merged Group and cause a distraction to the Merged Group's management. In addition, unauthorised use of the Merged Group's brands may not only result in potential revenue loss, but also have an adverse impact on the Merged Group's reputation.

In addition, there is a risk that the Merged Group will be unable to register or otherwise protect new intellectual property it develops in the future. Further, there is a risk that, if the OJC Merged Group does not register or otherwise protect its intellectual property and enforce its rights in respect of its intellectual property, competitors may prevent the Merged Group from trading under its brand names in certain jurisdictions. If any of these occur, it may have an adverse impact on the Merged Group's revenue and financial performance.

(y) International operations

The Merged Group has operations located in Australia, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong and sells its products in a number of overseas jurisdictions and is exposed to a range of different legal and regulatory regimes. As the Merged Group expands into new overseas jurisdictions it will be subject to the risks associated with doing business in regions that may have political, legal and economic instability or less sophisticated legal and regulatory systems and frameworks, including:

  • (i) unexpected changes in, or inconsistent application of, applicable foreign laws and regulatory requirements;
  • (ii) the potential imposition or implementation of burdensome tariffs, quotas or customs clearance processes;
  • (iii) difficulties in engaging local resources; and
  • (iv) potential for political upheaval or civil unrest.

Given the nature of these factors, as the Merged Group enters new international markets, there is a risk that it will fail to understand or account for differing laws, regulations and business customs (including potential pricing within these new markets). This gives rise to employment and labour risks, tax exposure, risks relating to the ability of the Merged Group to protect its brand, civil litigation, changes to or uncertainty in the relevant legal and regulatory regimes and other issues in foreign jurisdictions in which the Merged Group either operates or wishes to operate in order to execute its growth strategy. This could interrupt or adversely affect various parts of the business and may have an adverse impact on the Merged Group's operations and financial position and prospects.

(z) Due diligence on the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition

A due diligence process was conducted by OJC in connection with the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition, which relied in part on the review of financial and other information provided by each party. There is no assurance that the due diligence conducted was conclusive and that all material issues and risks in respect of the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition have been identified and avoided or managed appropriately.

Therefore, there is a risk that unforeseen issues and risks in relation to the combined business of the Merged Group may arise, which may have a material adverse impact on the Merged Group (for example, the Merged Group may later discover liabilities or issues which were not identified through due diligence or for which there is no protection). This could adversely affect the operations, financial performance or position of the Merged Group.

(aa) The Merged Group will assume SPC's and Nature One Dairy's historical liabilities

Following completion of the SPC Acquisition and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition, the Merged Group will be responsible for any outstanding liabilities that SPC or Nature One Dairy has incurred prior to the SPC Acquisition or the Nature One Acquisition, including any liabilities that were not identified or which are greater than expected, for which insurance may not be available, and for which OJC may not have post-SPC Acquisition or post-Nature One Dairy Acquisition recourse under the agreement for the SPC Acquisition or the Nature One Dairy Acquisition and which may result in OJC being liable for fines and penalties or subject to other sanctions. Such liabilities could include liabilities relating to litigation or other proceedings, failure by OJC to hold required regulatory approvals, authorisations or licences (including licensing agreements with third parties), regulatory actions (including without limitation in relation to any such failure), health and safety claims, warranty or performance claims, historical tax liabilities and other liabilities. Historical liabilities may adversely affect the financial performance or position of the OJC Group.

(bb) Recourse to the SPC Shareholders and the Nature One Dairy Shareholder will be limited

The ability of the Merged Group to achieve its stated objectives will depend on the performance by the parties of their obligations under the agreements for, and related to, the SPC Acquisition (SPC Agreements) and the Nature One Dairy Acquisition. If any party defaults in the performance of their obligations, it may be necessary for OJC to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be expensive and time consuming. Under the SPC Agreements, the SPC Shareholders will provide limited title and capacity warranties in respect of the SPC Acquisition. Warranties in respect of the business of SPC will only be provided by SPC and subject to limitations under the SPC Agreements. Following completion of the SPC Acquisition, if a business warranty claim was made by OJC against SPC, OJC will have limited financial recourse as any claim would be made against its own subsidiary. Any inability to recover amounts claimed under the SPC Agreements could adversely affect the Merged Group's financial position and performance.

(cc) Risk of litigation, claims and disputes

The Merged Group has agreements with employees, contractors, customers, suppliers and other entities across the globe. These agreements and activities in relation to them any be subject to local laws that differ between jurisdictions. There is a risk that the Merged Group may be subject to litigation and other claims and disputes in the course of doing business, including contractual disputes and indemnity claims, product liability claims, intellectual property disputes and employment related claims.

Even if the Merged Group was to ultimately prevail in the litigation, it could divert management's attention and resources from the Merged Group's operations and business, and the Merged Group could also suffer significant reputational damage which could have an adverse effect on the Merged Group's business.

(dd) Insurance

The Merged Group plans to maintain insurance as it considers appropriate for its needs. However, it will not be insured against all risks, either because the appropriate coverage is not available or because it considers the applicable premiums to be excessive in relation to the

perceived benefits that would accrue. Accordingly, the Merged Group may not be fully insured against all losses and liabilities that may unintentionally arise from its operations. If the Merged Group incurs uninsured losses or liabilities, the value of its assets may be at risk.

(ee) Fraud, bribery, and corruption

The Merged Group's reputation and brand may be materially affected if the Merged Group's employees, contractors, customers or suppliers are involved with fraud, bribery or corruption. Such fraudulent actions may also have an adverse impact on the Merged Group's financial performance and operations. While the Merged Group has an anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy, the Merged Group cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which its international operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted.

(ff) Legal and regulatory compliance

The Merged Group must comply with a range of laws, regulations and industry standards in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Regulatory areas which are of particular significance to the Merged Group include food standards, labelling and packaging, ethical sourcing, fair trading and consumer protection, employment, property and the environment (including water), customs and tariffs, foreign investment, taxation and climate change. A failure to comply with laws or regulations could also have major negative reputational and financial outcomes for the Merged Group.

Additionally, the Merged Group may become subject to more proactive enforcement by relevant regulators of compliance with such laws, regulations and industry standards. New or amended laws, regulations or industry compliance standards, or new or changed interpretations of existing laws, regulations or industry standards, could restrict the Merged Group's ability to provide its services, result in changes to the Merged Group's business model, limit or restrict the amount of fees charged by the Merged Group or make compliance more difficult or expensive, any of which may have an adverse impact on the Merged Group's revenue and its financial performance.

11.3 General risks

(a) Exposure to general economic and financial market conditions

The price at which the OJC Shares are quoted on the ASX may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. There is no assurance that the price of the OJC Shares will increase following the re-quotation on the ASX, even if OJC's earnings increase. Some of the factors which may affect the price of the OJC Shares include:

  • (i) fluctuations in the domestic and international market for listed stocks;
  • (ii) general economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, commodity and oil prices, changes to government fiscal, monetary or regulatory policies, legislation or regulation;
  • (iii) inclusion in or removal from market indices;
  • (iv) the nature of the markets in which the Merged Group operates; and
  • (v) general operational and business risks.

(b) Risk of shareholder dilution

In the future the Merged Group may elect to issue OJC Shares or engage in capital raisings to fund ongoing working capital requirements or acquisitions that the Merged Group may decide to make. While the Merged Group will be subject to the constraints of the ASX Listing Rules regarding the percentage of its capital that it is able to issue within a 12 month period (other than where exceptions apply), securityholders at the time may be diluted as a result of such issues of OJC Shares and capital raisings.

(c) Liquidity risk

There can be no guarantee that an active market in the OJC Shares will develop or continue, or that the market price of the OJC Shares will increase. If a market does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for shareholders to sell their OJC Shares after re-quotation. Furthermore, the market price for the OJC Shares may fall or be made more volatile because of the relatively low volume of trading in the Merged Group's securities. When trading volume is low, significant price movement can be caused by trading a relatively small number of OJC Shares. If illiquidity arises, there is a real risk that security holders will be unable to realise their investment in the Merged Group.

Following Completion, the Escrowed Shareholders will hold approximately 34.85% of the OJC Shares (refer to Section 9.13), which may also impact on liquidity. The Escrowed Shareholders have entered voluntary escrow arrangements in relation to their respective Escrowed Shares, which, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, will be released in tranches during the Escrow Period. The absence of any sale of OJC Shares by the Escrowed Shareholders during this period may cause, or at least contribute to, limited liquidity in the market for the OJC Shares. This could affect the prevailing market price at which Merged Group shareholders are able to sell their OJC Shares.

Following release from escrow, OJC Shares held by the Escrowed Shareholders will be able to be freely traded on the ASX. A significant sale of OJC Shares by an Escrowed Shareholder, or the perception that such sale has occurred or might occur, could adversely affect the price of OJC Shares.

(d) The Merged Group cannot guarantee that dividends will be declared in the future

The payment of a dividend by the Merged Group, if any, is at the discretion of the directors and will be a function of a number of factors, including the operating results, the general business environment, cash flows and the financial condition of the Merged Group, future funding requirements, capital management initiatives, taxation considerations, any contractual, legal or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Merged Group, and any other factors the directors may consider relevant.

(e) Accounting standards

Australian Accounting Standards are set by the AASB and are outside the control of the Merged Group, its directors, or its key management personnel. The AASB is due to introduce new or refined Australian Accounting Standards in future periods, which may affect future measurement and recognition of key income statement and balance sheet items, including sales and receivables. There is also the risk that interpretations of existing Australian Accounting Standards, including those relating to the measurement and recognition of key income statement and balance sheet items, including sales and receivables, may differ. Changes to Australian Accounting Standards issued by the AASB or changes to the commonly held views on the application of those standards could materially adversely affect the financial performance and position reported in the Merged Group's consolidated financial statements.

(f) Force majeure events

Events may occur within or outside Australia that could impact upon the global and Australian economies, the operations of the Merged Group and the price of the OJC Shares. These events include but are not limited to acts of terrorism, an outbreak of international hostilities, fires, floods, earthquakes, labour strikes, civil wars, natural disasters, outbreaks of disease or other man-made or natural events or occurrences that can have an adverse effect on the demand for the Merged Group's products and its ability to conduct business. The Merged Group has only a limited ability to insure against some of these risks.

(g) Speculative nature of investment

The above list of key risks should not be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by us or by investors in the Merged Group. The above risks and others not specifically referred to above may in the future materially affect the Merged Group, its financial performance or the value of the OJC Shares.

12 Additional Information

This Section provides you with additional information regarding the Proposed Transaction.

12.1 SPC MID

On 2 October 2024, OJC entered into a merger implementation deed (MID) with SPC in relation to a proposed merger of OJC and SPC, subject to certain conditions precedent. Under the MID, OJC has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of SPC in consideration for the issue of new OJC Shares to the SPC Shareholders.

A summary of some of the key terms of the MID is set out below.

Topic Summary

12.4 Requirement to satisfy ASX admission requirements

Following its application for in-principle advice in relation to the Proposed Transaction, OJC has obtained confirmation from ASX that completing the Proposed Transaction will require OJC to:

  • obtain the approval of OJC Shareholders for the proposed change in the scale of activities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2; and
  • re-comply with the admission and quotation requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

For this reason, OJC is seeking OJC Shareholder approval under Resolution 1 for OJC to change the scale of its activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 and pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3 in order to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

ASX has an absolute discretion in deciding whether or not to re-admit the Merged Group to the Official List. Accordingly, there is a risk that the Merged Group may not be able to meet the requirements of ASX for re-quotation of its Shares following Completion.

However, OJC has structured and negotiated the terms of the Proposed Transaction with its ability to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules front of mind. By issuing the Prospectus, completing the Proposed Transaction and undertaking the various other steps described or contemplated in this Notice of Meeting, OJC anticipates that it will be able to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

OJC has also sought in-principle advice from ASX in which ASX has set out, on an in-principle basis, that it has not identified any reasons to date, to exercise its discretion to prevent the Merged Group from being re-admitted to the Official List. This advice is non-binding and cannot be relied upon to prevent ASX from exercising its discretion as it sees fit.

In the event that the Merged Group is not re-admitted to the Official List after Completion, the suspension of the quotation of the Merged Group's securities may continue until the Merged Group has satisfied the requirements of ASX for re-quotation. As a result, shareholders may be prevented from trading their OJC Shares until such time as the Merged Group does re-comply with the ASX Listing Rules.

The primary purpose of the Share Consolidation is to facilitate the Proposed Transaction and to implement a more appropriate capital structure going forward.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary Resolution, and is subject to and inter-conditional with OJC Shareholders passing each of Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) in this Notice of Meeting.

Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules

Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number by resolution passed in a general meeting. If passed, OJC will lodge a copy of this Resolution with ASIC within 1 month of the Meeting.

ASX Listing Rule 7.20 provides that were an entity proposes to reorganise its capital, it must tell equity security holders:

  • (i) the effect of the proposal on the number of Securities and the amount unpaid (if any) on the Securities;
  • (ii) the proposed treatment of any fractional entitlements; and
  • (iii) the proposed treatment of any convertible Securities on issue.

ASX Listing Rule 7.21 provides that a listed entity which has Convertible Securities (other than Options) on issue may only reorganise its capital if, in respect of the Convertible Securities, the number of its convertible securities or the conversion price, or both, is reorganised so that the holder of the Convertible Securities will not receive a benefit that holders of ordinary Securities do not receive.

ASX Listing Rule 7.22.1 requires that when a listed entity undertakes a consolidation of capital, the number of its Options must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.

Holding statements

From the date of the Share Consolidation (i.e., on or immediately before Completion), all holding statements for Securities will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Securities on a post-Share Consolidation basis. After the Share Consolidation becomes effective, OJC will arrange for new holding statements for Securities to be issued to holders of those Securities. It is the responsibility of each OJC Shareholder to check the number of Securities held prior to disposal or exercise (as applicable).

Impact on capital structure

The indicative impact of the Share Consolidation on OJC's capital structure is set out below. Any resulting fractions of an OJC Share or OJC Option will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of OJC Shares or OJC Options.

(e) Resolution 5 – Approval of change of name

Resolution 5 seeks approval of the OJC Shareholders for OJC to change its name to "SPC Global Holdings Ltd" on Completion.

Resolution 5 is a special Resolution (i.e., requires approval of at least 75% of the votes cast by OJC Shareholders present and eligible to vote), and is subject to OJC Shareholders passing each of Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) in this Notice of Meeting.

Background

Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name.

The proposed name has been reserved by OJC with ASIC. If Resolution 5 is passed at the Meeting, and all other Resolutions are passed, the change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of OJC's registration after Completion.

In conjunction with changing its name, OJC proposes to have its ASX ticker changed from "OJC" to "SPG".

What will happen if OJC Shareholders give / do not give approval?

If Resolution 5 is passed, and Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are passed, OJC will proceed with the Proposed Transaction and will change its name to "SPC Global Holdings Ltd".

Jeff Kennett AC, Tao (Norman) Li, Jacqueline Phillips and David Marchant will resign from the OJC Board with effect on and from Completion, and that Hussein Rifai, Robert Iervasi and Andrew Cohen will, subject to Resolution 6 taking effect, be appointed to the Merged Group board at the same time. It is expected that Hussein Rifai will be the Chair of the Merged Group.

Required information

The experience, skills and qualifications of each of Hussein Rifai, Robert Iervasi and Andrew Cohen are set out in Section 4.7.

What will happen if OJC Shareholders give / do not give approval?

If Resolutions 6A, 6B and 6C are passed, and Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are passed, OJC will proceed with the Proposed Transaction and will appoint Hussein Rifai, Robert Iervasi and Andrew Cohen as directors of the Merged Group.

If one of Resolutions 6A, 6B or 6C are not passed, but Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are passed, OJC will proceed with the Proposed Transaction.

Board recommendation

The OJC Board unanimously recommends that OJC Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 6A, 6B and 6C.

(g) Resolution 7 – Approval to increase Non-Executive Director Fee Remuneration Pool

Resolution 7 seeks approval of the OJC Shareholders to increase the Non-Executive Director Fee Remuneration Pool.

Resolution 7 is an ordinary Resolution, and is subject to OJC Shareholders passing Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) in this Notice of Meeting.

Background

ASX Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total amount of directors' fees payable by it or any of its child entities without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities. The rule does not apply to the salaries of an executive director.

OJC's current Non-Executive Director Fee Remuneration Pool is \$500,000 and the MID contemplates that, on and from Completion, the Merged Group's Director Fee Remuneration Pool will increase by \$250,000 from \$500,000 to \$750,000.

The increase will:

  • (i) provide flexibility for OJC to continue to attract and retain non-executive directors of a high calibre for the purpose of board renewal;
  • (ii) allow for annual incremental adjustments for non-executive directors' fees in line with market conditions; and
  • (iii) allow for payment of appropriate fees over time, having regard to the increasing workload and responsibilities of non-executive directors, having regard to the Proposed Transaction.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.17, OJC notes as follows:

  • (iv) the current Non-Executive Director Fee Remuneration Pool is \$500,000, as approved by shareholders at OJC's 1 November 2023 general meeting;

Maximum number of equity securities to be issued under the Plan following the approval OJC will not make an invitation under the Plan which involves monetary consideration if the number of Plan Shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered under an invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of all invitations under the Plan during the 3 year period ending on the day of the invitation, will exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of the invitation (unless the Constitution specifies a different percentage and subject to any limits approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)). Voting exclusion statement A voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting for Resolution 8.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13 requires the following information in relation to Resolution 8 to be provided:

If Resolution 8 is not passed, but Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are passed, OJC will proceed with the Proposed Transaction.

(i) Resolution 9 – Approval to grant securities to Robert Iervasi

Resolution 9 seeks approval of the OJC Shareholders to grant securities to Robert Iervasi who will be appointed as Managing Director of the Merged Group on completion of the Proposed Transaction.

Resolution 9 is an ordinary Resolution and is subject to OJC Shareholders passing each of Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) in this Notice of Meeting.

Background

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires that a listed company must not issue equity securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the company without shareholder approval.

Accordingly, OJC seeks OJC Shareholder approval for the grant of securities to Robert Iervasi as part of his remuneration package.

ASX Listing Rule 10.15 requires the following information in relation to Resolution 9 to be provided.

Name of person who
will be issued
securities
Robert Iervasi and/or his nominee(s).
Which category in
ASX Listing Rules
10.14.1 – 10.14.3 the
person falls within
and why
Robert Iervasi falls within the category in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 as he
will be a director of OJC on the date of grant of the securities.
Number and class of
securities proposed
to be issued under
the Plan for which
approval is being
sought

3,000,000 options (on a post-Share Consolidation basis).
Each option will give Robert Iervasi a right to acquire one OJC Share
at \$1.50 per OJC Share if the applicable performance conditions are
satisfied.

30,000 OJC Shares (on a post-Share Consolidation basis) for nil
monetary consideration.
Current remuneration
package
Robert Iervasi's remuneration package as Managing Director of the Merged
Group comprises:

Fixed remuneration (TFR) – \$600,000 (plus any statutory
superannuation contributions)

Short term incentive – 40% of TFR at maximum, subject to the
achievement of personal and business performance measures.

Long term incentive – 3,000,000 options, vested over three years
equally and subject to personal and business performance measures.

30,000 OJC Shares (on a post-Share Consolidation basis) for nil
monetary consideration in recognition of Robert's efforts in relation to
the negotiation and implementation of the Proposed Transaction.
Number of securities
that have been
previously issued to
Robert Iervasi under
the Plan
Nil.
Material terms of the
securities
The material terms of the options are as follows:

Exercise price – \$1.50.

Performance period and vesting –
o
up to 1,000,000 options will vest if the performance hurdles
for the 12 month period ending 30 June 2025 are satisfied;
o
up to 1,000,000 options will vest if the performance hurdles
for the 12 month period ending 30 June 2026 are satisfied;
and
o
up to 1,000,000 options will vest if the performance hurdles
for the 12 month period ending 30 June 2027 are satisfied.

Performance hurdles – the vesting conditions for vesting of the
options will comprise of the following metrics, provided that no options
will vest if the EBITDA hurdle for the applicable performance period is
not achieved:
o
financial performance for the Merged Group, which includes
revenue, EBITDA and cash conversion performance – 40%
weighting;
o
strategy of the Merged Group, which includes integration,
cost and revenue synergies and new product development –
40% weighting; and
o
personal performance – 20%.

The options do not carry any voting or dividend entitlements.

The options may be exercised during the 5 year period commencing
on the vesting date.
The OJC Shares are fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally with
other OJC Shares on issue.
Reason for options The options are proposed to be issued to incentivise the future
performance of Robert Iervasi, to align his interests with shareholders of
the Merged Group consistently with the strategic goals and growth of the
Merged Group, and to ensure that the total remuneration paid to him is
both equitable and competitive by market standards. The issue of those
securities is also believed by OJC to be a reasonable and appropriate
method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this
benefit will allow the Merged Group to spend a greater proportion of its
cash reserves on its operations that it would if alternative cash forms of
remuneration were awarded to Robert Iervasi.
Value attributed Provided the performance measures are satisfied, the Options to be issued
to Robert have an exercise price of \$1.50 each. Leading up to the date of
suspension of trading in OJC Shares on 23 September 2024, the 30-day
VWAP of OJC Shares was A\$1.62 (on a post-Share Consolidation basis)
and prima facie, using the Black Scholes options pricing model, the total
value attributed to the Options by OJC if Robert remains employed and all
the performance measures are met would be approximately \$239,382. The
value may go up or down as it will depend on the future price of an OJC
Share. At the date of this Notice of Meeting, OJC has not obtained an
independent valuation of these options.
The date or dates on
or by which the
If OJC Shareholder approval is obtained, subject to completion of the
Proposed Transaction, the securities will be granted to Robert Iervasi on
Company will issue
the securities
the date OJC is re-admitted to the Official List. In any event, they will not
be granted more than 3 years after the date of the Meeting.
The price at which the
entity will issue the
securities to Mr
Iervasi
No amount will be payable by Robert Iervasi for the issue of the options or
the OJC Shares.
A summary of the
material terms of the
Plan
See Section 14.
Other information
required by ASX
Listing Rule 10.15
OJC may provide Robert with a loan to exercise the options.
Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the
Company's annual report relating to the period in which they were issued,
along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX
Listing Rule 10.14.
Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become
entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after this
resolution is approved and who were not named in this Notice of Meeting
will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.
Voting exclusion

The issue of OJC Shares under the Priority Offer will decrease OJC's existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It is for this reason that OJC Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is sought.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information in relation to Resolution 10 to be provided:

statement
A voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting for
Resolution 10.

If Resolution 10 is not passed, but Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are passed, OJC will proceed with the Proposed Transaction and issue the Priority Offer Shares out of its placement capacity at that time.

Board recommendation

In October 2020, SPC acquired a majority interest in the Kuisine Group, the operator of the Good Meal Co brand, which manufactures high-quality prepared meals and finger food. In

connection with the acquisition of the balance of the Kuisine Group, SPC agreed to grant an option over shares in SPC to the vendors of the Kuisine Group. As SPC will become a whollyowned subsidiary of OJC on completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is appropriate for the option to be granted by OJC.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an ASX listed company must not, without the prior approval of shareholders or otherwise pursuant to limited exceptions, issue securities if the number of securities issued, when aggregated with the number of securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceeds 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The grant of the Kuisine Option will decrease OJC's existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It is for this reason that OJC Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is sought.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information in relation to Resolution 11 to be provided:

that any partial exercise is for a sum of not less than \$250,000.
Date by which
securities will be

securities

Consolidation basis).
Purpose of the issue
and use of funds
raised

Resolution 11.

What will happen if OJC Shareholders give / do not give approval?

By order of the OJC Board.

14 Summary of The Original Juice Co. Employee Incentive Securities Plan

Summary of the Plan and terms on which offers may be made:

1 Eligible Participant

Eligible Participant means a person that is a 'primary participant' (as that term is defined in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as defined in the Corporations Act) and who has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.

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.

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.

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.

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 General Restrictions on Transfer

If the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Plan Shares issued under the Plan (including on exercise of Convertible Securities) may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.

Restrictions are imposed by applicable law on dealing in Shares by persons who possess material information likely to affect the value of the Shares and which is not generally available. These laws may restrict the acquisition or disposal of Shares by you during the time the holder has such information.

Any Plan Shares issued to a holder under the Plan (including upon exercise of Convertible Securities) shall be subject to the terms of the Company's Securities Trading Policy.

17 Maximum number of Securities

The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which involves monetary consideration if the number of Plan Shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered under an invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of all invitations under the Plan during the 3 year period ending on the day of the invitation, will exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of the invitation (unless the Constitution specifies a different percentage and subject to any limits approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)).

18 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.

19 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.

20 Income Tax Assessment Act
