Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares

1.1 General

As announced by the Company on 9 October 2019, the Company received firm commitments from sophisticated and professional investors to raise $521,249 by the issue of 104,249,894 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.005 per Share ( Placement ). The Placement Shares were subsequently issued out of the Company’s existing placement capacity on 9 October 2019.

The Placement was facilitated by CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd ( CPS Capital ), who were paid a placement fee of 5% of the funds raised under the Placement, being a fee of $26,062.47.

1.2 Use of Funds

The Company is using funds raised from the Placement for the following purposes:

  • (a) expansion of HomeStay Marketplace including investment in existing and new verticals;

  • (b) investment in sales and marketing to expand growth pipeline;

  • (c) technology and business development; and

  • (d) working capital.

1.3 Effect of the Resolution

This Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period ( Placement Capacity ).

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Shareholders approve this Resolution, they will have ratified the issue of the Placement Shares, and the issue of the Placement Shares will no longer use up a portion of the Company’s Placement Capacity, meaning the Company will have an increased ability to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval. If Shareholders do not approve this Resolution, the issue of the Placement Shares will continue to use up a portion of the Company’s current Placement Capacity until that date that is 12 months from their date of issue, and the Company will therefore have a reduced ability to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval until that time.

1.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

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

  • (a) the Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom were related parties of the Company;

  • (b) 104,249,894 Shares were issued;

  • (c) 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;

  • (d) the Shares were issued on 9 October 2019; (e) the Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.005 per Share;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Placement Shares was to raise capital for the Company for the purposes set out in Section 1.2 above, and the Company is using / has used funds raised from the issue of the Placement Shares for the purposes set out in Section 1.2 above; and

  • (g) the Company engaged CPS Capital to facilitate the Placement, and the Placement Shares were issued to investors introduced by CPS under that informal arrangement, the material terms of which are set out in Section 1.1 above.

2. Resolution 2 – Approval to issue Shares under converting loan facility

2.1 General

As announced by the Company on 9 October 2019, the Company entered into an unsecured converting loan facility agreement ( Facility Agreement ) with various sophisticated and professional investors to raise $500,000 ( Facility ).

The material terms of the Facility Agreement are as follows:

  • (a) upon the Company obtaining Shareholder approval, the amounts owing under the Facility automatically convert into Shares at an issue price of $0.005 per Share ( Conversion Shares );

  • (b) if Shareholder approval is not obtained for the issue of the Conversion Shares, the amounts owing under the Facility Agreement will be repayable on 31 March 2020 ( Maturity Date ); and

  • (c) interest accrues on the amount outstanding under the Facility at a rate of 1% per month, payable in cash at the time of conversion or repayment. The total interest payable under the Facility (assuming payment or conversion on the Maturity Date) is approximately $30,000.

2.2 Use of Funds

The Company is using funds received under the Facility for the following purposes:

  • (a) expansion of HomeStay Marketplace including investment in existing and new verticals;

  • (b) investment in sales and marketing to expand growth pipeline;

  • (c) technology and business development; and

  • (d) working capital.

2.3 Effect of this Resolution

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Conversion Shares.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.3 above.

The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue the Conversion Shares during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will be required to repay these funds by the Maturity Date unless otherwise agreed with the investors.

  • (d)

  • Mr Russell will not receive directors’ fees in addition to the Salary;

If Shareholders approve this Resolution, they will have ratified the issue of the Commencement Shares, and the issue of the Commencement Shares will no longer use up a portion of the Company’s Placement Capacity, meaning the Company will have an increased ability to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval. If Shareholders do not approve this Resolution, the issue of the Commencement Shares will continue to use up a portion of the Company’s current Placement Capacity until that date that is 12 months from their date of issue, and the Company will therefore have a reduced ability to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval until that time.

  • (a) the Shares were issued to Graham Russell’s nominee: Russell Acquisitions Pty Ltd .

As such, no monthly licence fee is payable to Essence APAC (previously a fee of 4% of gross revenue received from the sales of Essence APAC solutions was payable to Essence APAC, as well as an agreed percentage of gross invoiced sales of comparable products if the Company were to use devices other than the Essence APAC solutions during the term).

  • (b) The Company will continue to be appointed as the licensee and exclusive reseller of Essence APAC solutions in Australia, Singapore and New Zealand ( Territory ) with effect from 10 July 2019.

  • (c) The initial term of the Licence Agreement is 3 years. The term may be expanded by further periods of 12 months on written notice by the Company not less than 6 months before the expiry of the term.

  • (d) Essence APAC must provide agreed ongoing support services to the Company for no fee.

  • (e) The Company must continue to supply Essence APAC solutions, training and technology support to all current Essence APAC customers including the additional clients, resellers and partners.

  • (f) No options are to be issued to Essence APAC (previously it was agreed to issue a total of 36,000,000 options exercisable at various prices subject to the achievement of certain revenue milestones).

  • (g) The Licence Agreement may only be terminated:

  • (i) by either party for cause; or

  • (ii) by the Company without cause or reason by giving Essence APAC 90 days’ notice in writing.

  • (h) In order to maintain exclusivity in the Territory in respect of the appointment as a reseller of the Essence APAC products, the Company must purchase a minimum value of USD1,000,000 annually of hardware products from Essence APAC during the term.

  • (i) During the term, the Company has a first right of refusal to acquire Essence APAC in the event of a reconstruction transaction, other than in relation to a change in holding between existing Essence APAC management team and principals.

  • (j) The Licence Agreement provides for confidentiality, representations and warranties, noncompete and indemnities provisions typical for an agreement of this nature.

The Company issued the Consideration Shares out of its existing placement capacity on 3 December 2019.

6.2 Effect of the Resolution

This Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Consideration Shares.

A summary of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 are set out in Section 1.3 above.

If Shareholders approve this Resolution, they will have ratified the issue of the Consideration Shares, and the issue of the Consideration Shares will no longer use up a portion of the Company’s Placement Capacity, meaning the Company will have an increased ability to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval. If Shareholders do not approve this Resolution, the issue of the Consideration Shares will continue to use up a portion of the Company’s current Placement Capacity until that date that is 12 months from their date of issue, and the Company will therefore have a reduced ability to issue equity securities without seeking Shareholder approval until that time.

6.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

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

  • (a) the Shares were issued to Essence APAC’s nominee: Russell Acquisitions Pty Ltd . Essence APAC is an entity controlled by Graham Russell (a director of the Company). At the time of the agreement to issue the Consideration Shares, Essence APAC was a related party of the Company by reason only of Graham Russell’s imminent appointment as a Director (and the issue was therefore exempt from requiring Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 by reason of Exception 12 under ASX Listing Rule 10.12);

  • (b) 50,000,000 Shares were issued;

  • (c) 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;

  • (d) the Consideration Shares were issued on 3 December 2019;

  • (e) the Consideration Shares were issued as consideration under the Deed of Amendment;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Consideration Shares was to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue the Consideration Shares under the Deed of Amendment; and

  • (g) the Consideration Shares were issued under the Deed of Amendment, the material terms of which are set out in Section 6.1 above.

7. Resolution 7 – Approval to issue Performance Rights to Graham Russell

7.1 General

As detailed in section 5.1 above, the Company has agreed under the Executive Services Agreement, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue to Mr Graham Russell a total of 50,000,000 Performance Rights ( Director Performance Rights ) vesting as follows:

  • (a) 25,000,000 Performance Rights vesting on $2,000,000 of revenue being received by the Company during any period between the Commencement Date and 31 December 2020; and

  • (b) 25,000,000 Performance Rights vesting on $3,000,000 of revenue being received by the Company during any period between the Commencement Date and 31 December 2020,

(together, the Vesting Conditions ) and otherwise on such terms required to comply with the ASX Listing Rules and subject to the rules of the Company’s Performance Rights Plan ( Plan ).

The Director Performance Rights are to be issued under the Plan, which was adopted at the Company’s General Meeting held on 23 August 2018. This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14 to issue the Director Performance Rights to Mr Graham Russell.

7.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit, and Mr Graham is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Russell, who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Performance Rights because the agreement to issue the Performance Rights to Mr Russell under the Plan is considered reasonable in the circumstances, and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

7.3

ASX Listing Rule 10.14

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires shareholder approval to be obtained for an entity to permit the acquisition of equity securities under an employee incentive scheme by a director of the entity, an associate of a director of the entity, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of a director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

As the issue of the Director Performance Rights to Mr Russell involves the issue of equity securities under an employee incentive scheme to a Director, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.16 do not apply to the current circumstances.

7.4 Effect of the Resolution

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Performance Rights to Mr Graham (or his nominee/s) in accordance with the Executive Services Agreement. If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to issue the Director Performance Rights to Mr Graham (or his nominee/s) and may consider alternative forms of remuneration for Mr Graham in lieu of such issue.

7.5

Technical Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.14

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) the Director Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to Mr Graham Russell (or his nominee/s), a Director of the Company;

  • (b) the maximum number of Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Russell (or his nominee/s) is 50,000,000;

  • (c) Mr Russell’s current remuneration package is set out in Section 5.1(b);

  • (d) Mr Russell has not previously received an issue of securities under the Plan;

  • (e) the Director Performance Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2, and otherwise in accordance with the Plan, a summary of which is set out in

Schedule 3;

  • (f) the Company has chosen to issue Performance Rights as part of Mr Russell’s remuneration package in order to provide a performance linked incentive component, and to motivate and reward his performance in the achievement of the Vesting Conditions within the relevant time periods. This is also considered a cost-effective remuneration practice, and is considered reasonable given the Vesting Conditions will align the interests of Mr Russell with those of Shareholders;

  • (g) as the performance rights have a Nil exercise price and do not have market conditions attached to them the undiscounted value of each Director Performance Right will be the value of an HSC share. This is assuming there is a 100% probability of the vesting conditions being achieved. The current market price of an HSC share as at 3 December 2019 is $0.005 per share. As a result, the total value attributed to the Director Performance Rights would equate to $250,000;

  • (h) the Company will issue the Director Performance Rights to Mr Russell under the Plan within 3 years of the date of the Meeting, and it is anticipated that the Director Performance Rights will be issued on the same date;

  • (i) the Performance Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration, as they are being issued as part of Mr Russell’s remuneration package;

  • (j) the Company will not make a loan to Mr Russell in connection with the issue of the Performance Rights;

  • (k) the Company advises that:

  • (i) 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 the approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14; and

  • (ii) 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 ASX Listing Rule.

8. Resolution 8 – Approval to issue Options to Contractor

8.1 General

On 15 February 2019, the Company entered into a brand ambassador agreement with Mr Sam Kekovich ( Ambassador Agreement ), pursuant to which Mr Kekovich agreed to provide business promotion services to the Company.

The material terms of the Ambassador Agreement are as follows:

  • (a) Mr Kekovich agreed to provide certain business promotion services for not less than 2 days per month;

  • (b) the Ambassador Agreement was for an initial term of 24 months, unless otherwise terminated (noting that the agreement was terminated by the Company in September 2019);

  • (c) during the term of the Ambassador Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to Mr Kekovich a fee of $2,500 per month;

  • (d) subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, the Company agreed to issue to Mr Kekovich 2,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.05 each on or before that date that is 24 months from the date of issue ( Contractor Options );

  • (e) the Ambassador Agreement provided for the issue of an additional 4,000,000 Options to Mr Kekovich, however, due to it having since been terminated by the Company, these Options are incapable of vesting and will therefore not be issued; and

8.2 Effect of the Resolution

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Contractor Options.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.3 above.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Contractor Options during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual Placement Capacity. If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not proceed with the issue of the Contractor Options.

8.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) the Contractor Options are proposed to be issued to Mr Sam Kekovich (or his nominee), who is not a related party of the Company;

  • (b) the maximum number of Contractor Options to be issued is 2,000,000;

  • (c) the Contractor Options are exercisable at $0.05 each on or before the date that is 24 months from their date of issue, and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 4;

  • (d) the Contractor Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of all of the Contractor Options will occur on the same date;

  • (e) the Contractor Options are being issued for nil cash consideration, as they are being issued in consideration for services provided to the Company under the Ambassador Agreement;

  • (f) the Contractor Options are being issued for the purpose of satisfying the Company’s obligations in that respect under the Ambassador Agreement. No funds will be raised from the issue of the Contractor Options, as they are being issued in consideration for services provided to the Company under the Ambassador Agreement;

  • (g) the Contractor Options are being issued pursuant to the Ambassador Agreement, the material terms of which are summarised at Section 8.1 above.

9. Resolution 9 – Approval to issue Shares in lieu of fees – Sara Kelly

9.1 General

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company owes to its Director, Sara Kelly, $60,000 in fees accumulated for services provided outside of the scope of her role as a non-executive Director (the Outstanding Fees ).

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 12,000,000 Shares to Ms Kelly (or her nominee/s), in lieu of payment of the Outstanding Fees by the Company, on the terms and conditions set out below.

9.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out at Section 7.2 above.

The issue of Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit, and Ms Kelly is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Ms Kelly, who has a material personal interest in the matter) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Shares the subject of this Resolution because the Shares are being issued at a deemed issue price which is equal to that under the recently completed Placement, Facility and Entitlement Issue, and are being issued in lieu of fees which are owing to Ms Kelly for services provided to the Company whereby for the period between September 2019 and January 2020, Ms Kelly has/is performing her services as a Director at an executive level, rather than as a non-executive, and the fee of $60,000 would be considered reasonable remuneration in that respect.

9.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) above is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of the Shares the subject of this Resolution falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1 (as set out in (a) above) and does not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

This Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of 12,000,000 Shares to Ms Kelly (or her nominee/s) in lieu of payment of the Outstanding Fees, under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares the subject of this Resolution, and will have satisfied its obligation to pay Ms Kelly the Outstanding Fees. If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares the subject of this Resolution and will instead be required to pay Ms Kelly the Outstanding Fees within 5 business days of this Meeting being held.

9.4

Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.11

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Sara Kelly (or her nominee/s);

  • (b) Ms Kelly is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;

  • (c) the number of Shares to be issued is 12,000,000;

  • (d) the Shares proposed to be issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (e) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of all of the Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (f) the Shares will be issued at a deemed issue price of $0.005 per Share, in lieu of an amount of $60,000 in Outstanding Fees owed to Ms Kelly;

  • (g) the Shares are being issued for the purpose of satisfying the Company’s obligation to pay Ms Kelly the Outstanding Fees;

  • (h) the Shares are being issued in lieu of payment the Outstanding Fees owed, and therefore, no funds will be raised;

  • (i) Ms Kelly’s total current remuneration package is comprised of a salary of $48,000 per annum (plus GST) in Director fees;

  • (j) the Shares are not being issued under an agreement.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to Ms Kelly (or her nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1

10. Resolution 10 – Amendment to Constitution

10.1 General

This Resolution is a special resolution proposing amendments to the Constitution in the manner set out below. A special resolution is one of which notice must be given in accordance with section 249L(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (which requires the setting out of the intention to propose a special resolution, and a statement of the resolution) and which has to be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.

10.2 Reason for the proposed amendments

On 1 December 2019, ASX implemented a number of rule changes to make aspects of the listing process and ongoing compliance with the listing rules more efficient for issuers and for ASX.

These changes included the introduction of a two-tier escrow regime where ASX can (and will) require certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their controllers to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form of Appendix 9A, as is currently the case. However, for less significant holdings, ASX will instead permit entities to rely on a provision in their constitution imposing appropriate escrow restrictions on the holder of restricted securities and to simply give a notice to the holder of restricted securities in the form of a new Appendix 9C advising them of those restrictions.

As a result of the above changes, a company now cannot issue restricted securities unless the constitution is amended to include the wording below. Given the Company is already admitted to the official list of ASX, the circumstances in which the Company may issue restricted securities is

limited, and would most likely relate to transactions requiring approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.1 or if the Company was required to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules because of the application of ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3 (i.e. a significant change to the Company’s nature or scale of activities).

10.3 Proposed amendments to the Constitution

It is proposed that clause 2.12 of the Constitution be amended to read as follows:

2.12 Restricted Securities

The Company shall comply in all respects with the requirements of the Listing Rules with respect to Restricted Securities. Without limiting the generality of the above:

  • (a) a holder of Restricted Securities must not Dispose of, or agree or offer to Dispose of, the securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX;

  • (b) if the Restricted Securities are in the same class as quoted securities, the holder will be taken to have agreed in writing that the Restricted Securities are to be kept on the Company’s issuer sponsored subregister and are to have a Holding Lock applied for the duration of the escrow period applicable to those securities;

  • (c) the Company will refuse to acknowledge any Disposal (including, without limitation, to register any transfer) of Restricted Securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX;

  • (d) a holder of Restricted Securities will not be entitled to participate in any return of capital on those securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX; and

  • (e) if a holder of Restricted Securities breaches a restriction deed or a provision of this Constitution restricting a Disposal of those securities, the holder will not be entitled to any dividend or distribution, or to exercise any voting rights, in respect of those securities for so long as the breach continues.

In addition, definitions of ‘Holding Lock’, ‘Dispose’ and ‘Disposal’ will be added to Section 1 of the Constitution.

To assist Shareholders, a marked-up version of the Constitution showing the proposed amendments will be available on the Company’s website at: https://homestay.care/. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

10.4

Effect of the Resolution

If this Resolution is passed, the Company’s Constitution will be amended in the manner set out in Section 10.3, and the Company will have the ability to issue restricted securities in compliance with the ASX Listing Rules. If this Resolution is not passed, the Company’s Constitution will not be amended, and the Company will not be able to issue restricted securities until such time as Shareholders do approve such amendments to the Constitution.

10.5 Board recommendation

The Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders approve the amendments to the Constitution and vote in favour of this Resolution.
