ASX NEWS RELEASE (CONT)

  • A stronger FY27, reflecting a full-year contribution from Hardware & Building Traders (acquired Nov 2025).
  • The Company remains confident in achieving its FY28 targets of greater than $500 million in sales, EBITDA margins of 8–12%, and NPAT margins of 5–8%.

This outlook is supported by the scale, synergy and integration benefits of the Hardware & Building Traders acquisition and the continued execution of the Group’s growth initiatives.

Stealth’s balance sheet remains strong and appropriately structured to support the delivery of its FY28 targets. Based on the current business plan and working capital position, the Company does not currently anticipate the need for an additional equity capital raise to execute its FY28 strategy.

Yours sincerely,

Explanatory Memorandum

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Stealth Group Holdings Ltd (Company or Stealth).

The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.

1. Resolution 1 – Financial Assistance

1.1. General

Stealth and the Subsidiaries are parties to:

(a) General Security Deed dated 16 December 2020 (GSD) between, among others, Commonwealth Bank of Australia ABN 48 123 123 124 (Financier) and Stealth;

(b) Facility Agreement dated 16 December 2020 (FA) between, among others, the Financier and Stealth;

(c) A number of other finance documents and agreements required by, or referred to in the either the GSD and/or the FA (collectively, OFD); and

(d) Various amendment and variation agreements to the GSD, FA and the OFD between 16 December 2020 and 6 November 2025.

(together the Finance Documents), which record the terms and conditions of Stealth’s debt facility with the Financier (collectively the Facility).

The terms and conditions of the Facility, including those in relation to interest charges, events of default, representations, and warranties (from Stealth and the Subsidiaries) are customary for debt facilities of this nature.

The FA requires Stealth to ensure that the Subsidiaries who satisfy the prescribed earnings or assets tests specified by the Financier (Guarantor Coverage), become a ‘Transaction Party’ to the Finance Documents (Transaction Party) by executing a Transaction Party Accession Deed Poll (Accession Deed). By doing so, each Subsidiary will be providing financial assistance of the nature described below in section 1.5.

Under the Finance Documents, each of the Transaction Parties are required, amongst other things, to respectively provide security over all their assets in favour of the Financier, and irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to the Financier the payment of the secured monies advanced by the Financier in accordance with the Facility on the terms and conditions set out in the Finance Documents (collectively, the Securities).

On 10 November 2025, Stealth acquired (and became the registered holder of) all of the shares in Hardware & Building Traders Pty Ltd (Acquired Company) so that it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Stealth.

1.2. Accession to the Finance Documents

Given the satisfaction of the Guarantor Coverage tests prescribed in the Finance Documents, Stealth is now required to ensure that the Acquired Company becomes a Transaction Party to the Finance Documents by executing an Accession Deed.

1.3. The Financial Assistance rules

Section 260A(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may financially assist a person to acquire shares in the company or a holding company of the company only in certain circumstances, including where the giving of the assistance does not materially prejudice (a) the interests of the company or its shareholders, or (b) the company’s ability to pay its creditors; or where the assistance is approved by shareholders under section 260B of the Corporations Act.

Financial assistance is broadly interpreted and may be the provision of anything needed in order to carry out a transaction, including giving security over assets or giving a guarantee or indemnity in respect of another person’s liability.

The Board (being the same directors as of the Acquired Company) have not formed the view that the accession to the Finance Documents by the Acquired Company will have the effect of materially prejudicing the interests of creditors or the shareholders of the Acquired Company. However, due to uncertainty surrounding the interpretation and application of the expression “material prejudice” and the fact that, on the face of it, acceding to the Finance Documents does to some extent prejudice the Acquired Company’s freedom to operate its business as it sees fit, the Board believes it is prudent to obtain the approval of its shareholders under section 260B of the Corporations Act.

In any event, in the opinion of the Board:

  • the Acquired Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due; and
  • the assistance will not materially prejudice the Acquired Company’s creditors.

Between the date of this Notice and the date of the Meeting, Stealth (being the shareholder of the Acquired Company) will be asked to give approval for the giving of financial assistance by the Acquired Company to Stealth. Under section 260B(2) of the Corporations Act, if immediately after the acquisition, the company giving financial assistance will be a subsidiary of another corporation which is listed in Australia, that listed domestic corporation must also obtain shareholder approval for the financial assistance at a general meeting.

As Stealth is the listed holding company of the Acquired Company, this resolution seeks the approval of Shareholders, pursuant to section 260B(2) of the Corporations Act, for financial assistance to be provided by the Acquired Company.

Stealth Group Holdings Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting


The reason for the giving of the financial assistance described above is to enable Stealth to comply with its obligations under the Finance Documents.

If approval for financial assistance is not provided, Stealth will need to investigate the possibility of undertaking corporate restructuring to transfer all or a substantial portion of the assets in the Acquired Company to entities which are existing Transaction Parties under the Finance Documents. There is no guarantee that any such restructuring would be financially successful or efficient. In addition, any such restructuring will incur additional delays, costs and charges for Stealth which would not otherwise be incurred if the resolution is approved.

Further, if shareholder approval is not provided and Stealth is not able to complete the necessary corporate restructuring by 8 June 2026 Stealth:

(a) will be in breach of its covenants and undertakings set out in the Finance Documents which will result in the occurrence of an ‘Event of Default' and a ‘Review Event' thereby enabling the Financier to exercise rights under the Finance Documents such as demanding repayment of all money owing under the Finance Documents, and/or repricing Stealth's debt under the Facility; and

(b) may be forced to negotiate alternative financing arrangements and incur punitive break costs and additional transaction fees and charges.

1.5. The Proposed Financial Assistance in detail

By executing the Accession Deed and granting the Securities, the Acquired Company will provide the following financial assistance to Stealth:

(a) It will unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the repayment of any secured money under the Finance Documents;

(b) It will provide the Financier with security over the Acquired Company's assets on the terms and conditions set out in the Finance Documents; and

(c) It will give the indemnities, undertakings, representation, and warranties to which Stealth and each other Transaction Party has provided and continues to provide to the Financier. The undertakings and representations may restrict various corporate actions the Acquired Company could otherwise undertake.

As of the date of this Explanatory Memorandum, the Board does not believe that Stealth, any current Transaction Party or the Acquired Company, either collectively or individually, is likely to be in default in relation to its obligations under the Finance Documents. In addition, the Board does not believe the Financial Assistance provided will materially prejudice (a) the interests of the company or its shareholders, or (b) the company's ability to pay its creditors; or where the assistance is approved by shareholders under section 260B of the Corporations Act.

1.6. Advantages

The advantage to Stealth of the proposed resolution in authorising the Acquired Company to execute an Accession Deed and grant the Securities is that it will allow Stealth to meet the Guarantor Coverage under the Finance Documents and avoid the occurrence of an ‘Event of Default' and a ‘Review Event' under the Finance Documents.

In addition, Stealth would not be required to incur the additional cost of corporate restructuring, and the risk that it may not be able to complete the corporate restructuring by 8 June 2026. The consequences arising from the failure to complete the corporate restructuring by 8 June 2026 is set out above under 1.4.

The principal advantage of the proposed resolution to the Acquired Company is that it will benefit from the Subsidiaries. The Board believes that this is in the interests of the Acquired Company because the Acquired Company will:

(a) have greater access to funding as a result of integration in the Stealth Group;

(b) benefit from synergies, cost savings and greater growth potential through that integration with the Stealth Group; and

(c) have access to new management expertise provide by Stealth.

The Board believes that approving the financial assistance described above is in the interests of Stealth.

1.7. Disadvantages

The Board does not believe there are any disadvantages for Stealth as a result of the proposed resolution as Stealth is already a Transaction Party to the Finance Documents.

The disadvantages of the proposed resolution for the Acquired Company include the following:

(d) The Acquired Company will become liable for amounts due under the Finance Documents and the Acquired Company's assets may become subject to enforcement action by the Financier in the event of any ‘Event of Default' and any ‘Review Event' under the Finance Documents;

(e) The Acquired Company becoming a Transaction Party under the Finance Documents may impact on its ability to borrow in its own right in the future;

(f) The corporate actions of the Acquired Company will be restricted by the terms of the Finance Documents; and

(g) Although the Board does not believe as of the date of this Explanatory Memorandum that there is or will likely be any prospect of default, a member of the Stealth Group may, in the future, default under the Finance Documents which will result in the Financier having various rights under the Finance Documents including making a demand under a guarantee or indemnity provided by the Acquired Company requiring immediate repayment of amounts due under the Finance Documents.

1.8. Prior Notice to ASIC

Copies of the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting and these Explanatory Notes were lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission before being sent to Shareholders in accordance with section 260B(5) of the Corporations Act.

1.9. Disclosure

The Board considers that the Notice and these Explanatory Notes contain all information known to Stealth that would be material to Shareholders in deciding how to vote on the resolution, other than information which it would be unreasonable to require Stealth to include because it has been previously disclosed to Shareholders.

1.10. Voting consequences

This resolution is a special resolution and will be passed if more than 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present at the Extraordinary General Meeting are in favour of the Resolution.

1.11. Board recommendation

The Directors unanimously support the provision of Financial Assistance by the Acquired Company and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

1.12. Voting Intention

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Stealth Group Holdings Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Stealth Group Holdings Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

2. Resolution 2 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 - Placement

2.1. Background

On 2 December 2025 the Company raised $19.5m before capital raising costs upon the issue 19,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares (ranking pari passu with, and otherwise on the same terms as, existing fully paid ordinary shares) to institutional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $1.00 per share (Placement).

2.2. ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company may 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.

The Placement does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the Placement.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the listed company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the prior issue of the Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

2.3. Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1.A

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rules 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement. By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 with the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Placement will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rules 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement.

2.4. Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:

2.4.1. The number and class of securities the entity issued

A Total of 19,500,000 Shares were issued using the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1

The Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares.

2.4.2. The price or other consideration the entity has received for the issue

The Shares were issued at an issue price of $1.00 per share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of Shares under the Placement.

2.4.3. The date or dates on which the securities were issued

The Shares were issued on 2 December 2025.

2.4.4. The names of the persons to whom the entity issued the securities or the basis on which those persons were identified or selected

The Shares were issued to various sophisticated and professional investors who are clients of the Lead Manager, MST Financial Services Pty Ltd. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising process from non-related parties of the Company.

The Company confirms that no Material Persons were issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company.

2.4.5. The purpose of the issue, including the use or intended use of any funds raised by the issue

The funds raised have been primarily applied to:

  1. Pay down a portion of existing debt, improving financial flexibility and reducing leverage; and
  2. Provide additional working capital to support the rollout of the wholesale distribution strategy being implemented as part of the ongoing HBT integration.

2.4.5.1. Were the securities under an agreement

The Shares were not issued under an agreement.

2.5. Voting Exclusion

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of the Resolution by or on behalf of a person who participated in the Placement the subject of Resolution 2, or an associate of that person (or those persons) (Resolution 2 Excluded Party).

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of the Resolution by:

  • a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the Resolution in that way; or
  • the Chair of the Meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the Chair to vote on the Resolution as the Chair decides; or
  • a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the Resolution; and

  • the holder votes on the Resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

2.6. Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2 in accordance with the express authorisation on the Proxy Form.

How to Vote on Items of Business

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.

SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTAL FORMS

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.

Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.
