Clause 20.4 of the Company’s Constitution provides that the Board may at any time appoint additional Directors to fill a casual vacancy, but such an appointed Director must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the Company.

Pursuant to Clause 20.4 of the Company's Constitution and to fill the vacancy arising from the outgoing Director role, Ms. Linda Jenkinson, was appointed Non-Executive Director and incoming Chair by the Board on July 1, 2024. In accordance with clauses 20.4 and 21.4 of the Company’s Constitution, Ms. Jenkinson is retiring and submitting her candidacy for election as a Director of the Company.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board, with Ms Jenkinson abstaining, unanimously supports Ms Linda Jenkinson’s election as a Non-Executive Director of the Company and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

6

10765482v1

Resolution 3: Re-Election of Director – Mr Stephen Donovan

In accordance with Clause 21.2 of the Company’s Constitution, whilst the Company is admitted to the Official List of ASX, at least one Director must retire from office at each annual meeting of Shareholders unless there has been an election of Directors earlier that year. Unless required to retire pursuant to Clause 21.1 of the Company’s Constitution, the Director to retire will be the Director who has been longest in office since that Director’s last election.

Clause 21.1 of the Company’s Constitution states that a Director must not hold office without re-election past the third annual meeting of Shareholders after that Director’s last appointment or re-election or for more than three years, whichever is longer. A Managing Director of the Company (appointed under Clause 23 of the Company’s Constitution) is exempt from these requirements.

Mr Stephen Donovan was re-appointed as a Non-Executive Director of Straker Limited on 25 August 2021 by the Shareholders at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting.

In accordance with Clause 21.2 of the Constitution, Mr Donovan is retiring and submitting himself for re-election as a Director of the Company.

Mr Stephen Donovan was initially appointed a Non- Executive Director of Straker on 1 December 2004. He is a former partner of Ernst & Young. He qualified as a Chartered Accountant in the UK and has operated within the IT and finance industry in New Zealand for a number of years.

Stephen has significant experience as a director and investor in the SME sector in New Zealand, including a Finance Director role at accounting software provider, Greentree Software Group, which was sold to MYOB in 2016. Other current directorships include, Buro Seating Limited (office chair wholesaler) and New Zealand Pure Dairy Products Limited (infant formula manufacturer).

Stephen is Straker’s former Chief Financial Officer and has been working with technology companies across a range of industries. Stephen holds a Bachelor of Economics from the University of Lancaster and is a qualified Chartered Accountant and a current member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

Having regard to the ASX Corporate Governance Principles, the Board considers Mr Donovan to be a non-independent Non-Executive Director.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board, with Mr Donovan abstaining, unanimously supports Mr Stephen Donovan’s election as a Non-Executive Director of the Company and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 4: Approval of additional 10% Placement Capacity

General

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

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is one which, at the date of the Resolution, has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less and is not included in the S&P / ASX 300 Index. The Company anticipates it will be an eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the time of the Meeting.

7

10765482v1

The Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities in a 12-month period following the annual meeting of Shareholders without further Shareholder approval ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

If the Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval. The exact number of securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (which applies on top of the 15% permitted by ASX Listing Rule 7.1) will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, which is set out below.

If the Company for any reason ceases to be an eligible entity after already obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to this Resolution, the approval obtained will not lapse and the Company will still be entitled to issue the equity securities during the 12-month period following this Annual Meeting.

If the Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Resolution is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder by a corporate representative).

Number of equity securities that may be issued

The exact number of equity securities that may be issued pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, calculated as follows:

(A x D) – E

Where

A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue (the relevant period ):

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period;

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period;

Note that A has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity under that Listing Rule.

D is 10%.

8

10765482v1

E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement to issue has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

Any equity securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in an existing quoted class of the Company's equity securities. The Company presently has one class of quoted securities, being Shares (ASX Code: STG).

Required information

The following information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the Resolution, including for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.

Minimum price

As required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3, any equity securities issued by the Company under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A can only be issued for a cash consideration per security at a price that is no less than 75% of the VWAP for securities in that class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • a) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the securities; or

  • b) if the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the securities are issued.

Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing Shareholders

If the Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting interests of existing Shareholders in the Company will be diluted. There is a risk that:

  • a) the market price of the Company's securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date Shareholders provide their approval at the Annual Meeting; and

  • b) the securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price on the issue date (subject to the conditions noted above).

The table below shows a number of potential dilution scenarios for a capital raising which may be conducted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.4 where the number of the Company's Shares on issue (Variable "A" in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2) has remained current or increased by either 50% or 100% and the Share price has decreased by 50%, remained current or increased by 100% based on the closing Share price on ASX at 21 June 2024.

10765482v1

The above dilution table uses the following assumptions which the Company does not represent will necessarily occur:

  • a) the “issue price at current market price” is the closing price of Shares on ASX on 21 June 2024.

  • b) Variable “A” is 64,339,299 which equates to the number of current Shares on issue at 21 June 2024. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro-rata issue) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholder meeting;

  • c) the Company issues the maximum number of securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity;

  • d) the table shows only the effect of issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • e) no options (including any options issued under the 10% Placement Capacity) are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of equity securities;

  • f) the 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%;

  • g) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Annual Meeting;

  • h) the issue of Shares under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company; and

  • i) “Funds Raised” are before any capital raising costs which may be incurred.

10% Placement Capacity Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual meeting of Shareholders at which approval is obtained and expires on the earliest to occur of:

  • a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual meeting of Shareholders at which the approval was obtained;

  • b) the time and date of the Company’s next annual meeting of Shareholders; or

  • c) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

Purpose of additional 10% Placement Capacity

While the Company has no immediate plans to issue Shares under the 10% Placement Capacity, when it does it will only do so for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed use of funds at the time of issue. However, if Shareholders approved this Resolution and the Company did raise funds from the issue of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company considers that the funds may be used for the following purposes: working capital, investing activities (including possible complementary business acquisitions if any are identified and approved by the Board), meet financing commitments or capital management activities deemed by the Board to be in the best interests of the Company.

Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy is dependent upon the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case by case basis having regard to factors including but not limited to the following:

  • a) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company; b) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;

  • c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • d) advice from professional and corporate advisers (if applicable).

Allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Meeting and may include existing and/or new Shareholders but cannot include any related parties or associates of a related party of the Company and those who are otherwise restricted from participation under the ASX Listing Rules (including professional and sophisticated investors, clients of Australian Financial Service

10

10765482v1

Licence holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to make an offer of equity securities).

The Company sought and obtained Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the Annual General Meeting held on 23 August 2023 and confirms that no Shares were issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A in the preceding 12 months.

Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3

When the Company issues equity securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will give ASX:

  • a) a list of the names of the persons to whom the Company issues the equity securities and the number of equity securities allotted to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

  • b) the information required by ASX Listing Rule 3.10.3 for release to the market.

As at the date of the Notice of Meeting the Company has not invited and has not determined to invite any particular existing Shareholder or an identifiable class of existing Shareholder to participate in an offer under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, no existing Shareholder will be excluded from voting on this Resolution.

Directors' Recommendation

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

Resolution 5-7: Issue of Options to Directors and Related Party

The Company is proposing to issue 165,100 Options to Grant Straker, 78,300 Options to Merryn Straker, and 300,000 Options to Linda Jenkinson under the 2020 LTI ESOP (the Options Issues ).

The proposed allocation of Options to Grant and Merryn Straker forms part of their performance-based remuneration for the financial year ended 31 March 2025 and has been calculated in a manner that is consistent with the formula used to calculate option allocations for other members of the Company’s senior leadership team.

The proposed allocation of Options to Linda Jenkinson aims to further align her interests with long-term shareholder value.

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of its shareholders:

10.14.1 a director of the company;

10.14.2 an associate of a director of the company; or

  • 10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders.

The Options Issues to Grant Straker and Linda Jenkinson falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 (as they are both Directors) and the Options Issues to Merryn Straker falls within Listing Rule 10.14.2 (as Merryn Straker is an associate of Grant Straker, who is a Director) and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 5, 6, and 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the Options Issues under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

If each of Resolution 5, 6 and 7 are if passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Options Issues and the Options (and Shares issued upon vesting of the Options) will not be included in the Company’s 15% capacity calculation for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

11

10765482v1

If each of Resolution 5, 6 and 7 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Options Issues to which the relevant Resolution relates.

In that circumstance, issues may arise with the competitiveness of the total remuneration package of the relevant recipient of the Options Issues and alignment of rewards with other senior executives in the Company. The Board would then need to consider alternative remuneration arrangements which are consistent with the Company’s remuneration principles, including providing an equivalent cash long-term incentive subject to the risk of forfeiture, performance conditions and performance period.

Details of any securities issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP will be published in the Annual Report of the Company 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 the 2020 LTI ESOP after Resolution 5, 6 and 7 are approved and who were not named in this Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under that ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided to Shareholders in respect of the Resolution 5, 6 and 7.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15.6, summary information regarding the issue of the Options is as follows:

Material Terms Refer to Schedule A for the material terms of the 2020 LTI ESOP.

Directors’ Recommendation

As all of the Directors are entitled to participate in the 2020 LTI ESOP, the Directors abstain, in the interests of good corporate governance, from making a recommendation in relation to Resolution 5, 6 and 7.

13

10765482v1

Resolution 8: Re-approval of the 2020 LTI ESOP

This Resolution seeks the approval of Shareholders for the re-adoption of the 2020 LTI ESOP in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 restricts the amount of equity securities which listed companies can issue without the approval of Shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period, subject to certain exceptions. There are, however, a number of exceptions to this restriction. ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b) allows the Company to issue securities under an employee incentive scheme to be automatically excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% placement capacity if, within three years before the date of the issue, Shareholders approve the issue of securities under the employee incentive scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will continue to have the ability to issue Options to eligible participants under the 2020 LTI ESOP over a period of a further 3 years (up to the maximum number of securities stated below) without impacting the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is not passed, any Options issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP (notwithstanding the non-approval) will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b) will cease to be available in respect of the 2020 LTI ESOP:

  • a) if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP exceeds the maximum number set out in this Notice (if approved); and/or

  • b) if there is a material change to the terms of the 2020 LTI ESOP from those set out in this Notice.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b), the following information is provided:

  • a summary of the terms of the 2020 LTI ESOP is set out in Schedule A and forms part of this Explanatory Statement

  • the 2020 LTI ESOP was last approved by Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b) at the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting held on 26 August 2020. Since this approval, 4,735,256 Options have been granted. Of these, 816,309 Options have lapsed as a consequence of Options holders leaving the services of the Company or an associated body corporate and 26,088 Options have been exercised.

  • the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP within the three-year period following approval of this Resolution is 5,000,000 Options[1] .

  • A voting exclusion statement in respect of this Resolution is included in the Notice.

The 2020 LTI ESOP is designed to provide longer term incentives to Directors, executive staff and selected employees and align their interests with those interests of Shareholders. The objective of the 2020 LTI ESOP is to attract, motivate and retain employees and consultants whom the Directors consider will contribute towards the Company’s performance. The 2020 LTI ESOP also forms an integral component of the Company’s remuneration policy.

Any future grant of Options to a related party or a person whose relation with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.

Directors’ Recommendation

As all of the Directors are entitled to participate in the 2020 LTI ESOP, the Directors abstain, in the interests of good corporate governance, from making a recommendation in relation to this Resolution.

1 This maximum number is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of securities to be issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP within the next 3 years but is instead a ceiling for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b). Once the maximum number is reached, any additional issues of securities under the 2020 LTI ESOP would not have the benefit of Exception 13(b) without a fresh shareholder approval and will only be able to be made without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the Company has sufficient placement capacity available at the time under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (or if applicable ASX Listing Rule 7.1A).

10765482v1

Schedule A Summary of 2020 LTI ESOP

The key terms of the 2020 LTI ESOP are as follows:

Term Description
Eligibility Qualifying employees, senior executives and Directors of Straker may participate in the 2020 LTI
ESOP, with eligibility and the number of Options to be issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP to be
determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Vesting
conditions
The 2020 LTI ESOP is governed by scheme rules that provide for the vesting of Options issued
under the 2020 LTI ESOP to occur after a certain time period has lapsed from the time of issue of
the Options issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP, or a specified performance hurdle is achieved by the
participant.
Exercise After the Options issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP have vested, participants may then choose to
exercise a number of their 2020 LTI ESOP Options at any time within the specified exercise
period (provided that the minimum number of Options that may be exercised at a time as
stated on the certificate relating to the Options is met) by giving notice in writing to the
Company and paying the relevant exercise price in respect of the 2020 LTI ESOP Options being
exercised (unless the participant has elected to exercise the Options under the cashless
exercise mechanism, see below).
However, where certain “change of control” events occur (including where a person and that
person’s associates hold or control more than 50% of the total voting rights in the Company, a
transfer of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets, or a merger whereby the Company
is not the surviving entity) all 2020 LTI ESOP Options will become fully exercisable and may be
exercised on or before the date of the relevant event, after which time any unexercised 2020 LTI
ESOP Options will lapse.
Exercise Price The exercise price of the 2020 LTI ESOP Options will be determined by the Company’s Board of
Directors but subject to the requirement under the ASX Listing Rules that the Exercise Price for
the Shares must be at least AUD$0.20.
At the time of exercise of the 2020 LTI ESOP Options, subject to Board approval at that time, the
participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the
number of 2020 LTI ESOP Options specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those
2020 LTI ESOP Options the Company will 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 2020 LTI ESOP
Options.
“Market Value” means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded
on the ASX over the 20 business days immediately preceding the notice of exercise being
delivered to the Company by the participant, unless otherwise determined by the Board (in its
sole discretion).
Expiry Options issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP will expire at the end of the exercise period which is a
date fixed in the Option certificate issued to each particular participant, unless a “change of
control”event occurs (asreferred to above).
Cessation of
employment of
holders of 2020
LTI ESOP Options
Participants who cease their employment or directorship with the Company (for reasons other
than death or total and permanent disability) are given the lesser of the expiry of:
(a) 60 days following termination;
(b) the exercise period; or
(c) another period determined by the Board in its absolute discretion,
to exercise any applicable 2020 LTI ESOP Options that have vested and are able to be exercised at
that time.
Participants who cease employment or directorship with the Company in circumstances
constituting total and permanent disability then the Board in its absolute discretion may allow
any 2020 LTI ESOP Options that are exercisable at the time to be exercised or “net settled" (i.e.
cancelled with Shares issued representing any gain) within a period of up to 3 months from the
date of death or determination of total permanent disability.
Unvested 2020 LTI ESOP Options at the time of cessation of employment will be cancelled and
be of no further effect.

17

10765482v1

Capital
Restructure
Any reconstruction of share capital of the Company (including any consolidation, re-
capitalisation, subdivision, share buyback or cancellation) which affects the 2020 LTI ESOP
Options will result in appropriate adjustments being made by the Directors of the Company in
such a manner as they consider to be equitable (in accordance with the requirements of the ASX
Listing Rules and any applicable laws). Participants will have no other rights to a change in the
exercise price of 2020 LTI ESOP Options or the number of Shares to be issued and allotted on the
exercise of 2020 LTI ESOP Options under the terms of the 2020 LTI ESOP.
