EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum 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. Financial Statements And Reports

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.plukka.com/about-plukka/investor.

2. Resolution 1 – Adoption Of Remuneration Report

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that, at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

If at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the re-election of the directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ), provided that a Spill Resolution was not put to vote at the first of those annual general meetings. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for reelection at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

2.4 Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

Person appointed as proxy Where directions are given on Where no directions are given on

Resolution 2 – Re-Election of Director – Francis Gouten

3.1 General

Article 14.2 of the Constitution requires that one third of the directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) must retire at the Company's next annual general meeting. The director who has been longest in office since their last election is to retire and stand for re-election at the Meeting and, in the event that multiple persons became directors on the same day, the Director to retire shall be determined by drawing lots (unless otherwise agreed between themselves).

Mr Francis Gouten and Ms Charly Duffy were each elected as Directors at a general meeting of members on 15 September 2015, subject to completion of the acquisition of TCH and readmission of the Company’s shares to the Official List of the ASX. Mr Worland was re-elected as Director at the last AGM held on 30 2015. Accordingly, Mr Gouten has offered to retire as Director at the Meeting and, being eligible, will stand for reelection.

Personal particulars for Mr Gouten are set out below.

3.2 Mr Francis Gouten

Francis has over 35 years’ experience in the luxury goods business. He was formerly Marketing Manager Cartier International, CEO Cartier Asia and General Manager Cartier France during the 1970’s when Cartier developed from an unknown brand with just a few boutiques to the brand it is today. In 2000, Francis was appointed CEO of Richemont Asia Pacific where he worked closely with some prestigious names in the business including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Piaget, Vacheron Constantin, Alfred Dunhill and JaegerLeCoultre. In 2006, he retired from Richemont and established Gouten Consulting to help luxury brands with their marketing and strategic development in Asia-Pacific and luxury real estate developers to position their new development within Greater China. Francis is the former Chairman of the Luxury Steering Committee of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Hong Kong. He is also an Independent Non-Executive Director at three Hong Kong listed public companies, I.T. Limited, Natural Beauty Bio-Technology Limited and Louis XIII Holdings Limited.

Mr Gouten was last elected by shareholders on 15 September 2015 and took office as Director on 3 December 2015.

The issue of the Options did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Approval is now sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Options which, if approved, will refresh the Company’s ability to issue that number of securities in the future without seeking shareholder approval in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

5.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

Other than in respect of the exceptions prescribed under the ASX Listing Rules, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of securities that a company may issue without shareholder approval in any 12 month period to 15% of its issued share capital as at the date that is 12 months prior to the issue date.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows for shareholders to subsequently approve an issue of securities, provided the issue was not in breach of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Shareholders are being asked to approve the issue of the abovementioned Options in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

If Shareholders ratify the issue of Options under this Resolution, the Company’s capacity to issue further securities up to the 15% limit will be restored. The Directors consider it prudent to retain the flexibility to issue further securities if circumstances require and, accordingly, seek Shareholders’ approval to the issue of the Options as set out in this Resolution.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits an entity from issuing or agreeing to issue Equity Securities in any 12 month period which amount to more than 15% of its ordinary securities without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities.

8.2 Board Recommendation

However ASX Listing Rule 7.2, exception 9(b) provides that ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply in relation to, among other things, an issue under an employee incentive scheme if within 3 years before the date of the issue the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an Exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The ASX Listing Rules define “employee incentive scheme” as:

  • (a) a scheme for the issue or acquisition of equity securities in an entity to be held by, or for the benefit of, participating employees or non-executive directors of the entity or a related entity; or

  • (b) a scheme which, in ASX’s opinion, is an employee incentive scheme.

Under the ASX Listing Rules, Equity Securities include options over issued or unissued shares in an entity. The Option Plan is therefore an employee incentive scheme for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules.

If this Resolution is passed, Options issued under the Option Plan during the next 3 years will be excluded in determining the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This would assist the Company should it require additional fundraising flexibility.

The following information is provided for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b):

  • (a) a summary of the terms of the Option Plan is outlined in Annexure A and a full copy of the Option Plan is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office until the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • (b) as this is the first approval of the Option Plan, no have previously been issued under this Option Plan.

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

9. Resolution 8 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity

9.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue equity securities (which term has the meaning given to it in the ASX Listing Rules) to up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after its annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the capacity to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without shareholder approval.

If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the number of equity securities Plukka may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 9.2 below).

This Resolution is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative) must be in favour of this Resolution for it to be passed.

9.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The ASX Listing Rules provide that an entity that satisfies both of the following tests may seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A:

  • (a) the entity is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) the entity’s market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) is not greater than $300,000,000.

Plukka is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation, as at 19 October 2016, of approximately $5.3 million.

Any equity securities issued in reliance of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted equity securities. Plukka currently has one class of equity securities on issue which are quoted, being the Shares.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12-month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

(1) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

12

  • (2) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • (3) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and

  • (4) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

D is 10%.

E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

9.3 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.3A requires the following information to be provided in relation to a resolution under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A:

8.3.1 Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued is 75% of the VWAP of equity securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at which the equity securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (b) if the equity securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.

8.3.2 10% placement period

The equity securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of:

  • (a) 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; or

  • (b) the date of approval by shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX.

8.3.3 Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below, in the circumstances set out in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 19 October 2016 ( Closing Price ) and the number of Shares for variable A, calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the date of this notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) has increased by 50% and by 100% and the economic dilution where the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity is 50% less than the Closing Price and 100% greater than the Closing Price.

The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above has been prepared on the basis of the following assumptions:

  • (a) the Issue Price set out in the table is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 19 October 2016;

  • (b) the Company issues the maximum possible number of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity;

  • (c) no rights convertible into Shares are exercised;

  • (d) the Company has not issued any equity securities in the 12 months prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or which were not approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4 and that Resolution 4 of this Notice is approved by Shareholders;

  • (e) this table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (f) the issue of equity securities under the 10% placement facility consists only of Shares.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • (b) the equity securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Shares on the date of issue or the equity securities may be issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of an asset,

which may affect the amount of funds raised by the issue.

Shareholders should also note that the calculations in the table do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

8.3.4 Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (a) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for either or both of working capital purposes or to fund growth opportunities; or

  • (b) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

  • 8.3.5 Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The allottees of the equity securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will depend on prevailing market conditions and will be determined on a case by case basis. However, the allottees of equity securities could consist of current shareholders, new investors or both. Allottees may also include vendors of assets into the Company.

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (a) the purpose of the issue;

  • (b) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing shareholders may participate;

14

  • (c) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;

  • (d) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (e) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (f) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

9.4 Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company has previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6:

  • (a) During the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 29 November 2015, the Company issued a total of 16,450,886 equity securities representing 9% of the equity securities on issue at the commencement of this 12 month period;

  • (b) The equity securities issued in the 12 month period are set out in the following table:
