ADDENDUM TO NOTICE OF MEETING

The Agency Group Australia Ltd (ACN 118 913 232) ( Company ), hereby gives notice to shareholders of the Company that, in relation to the Notice of General Meeting dated 15 October 2018 ( Notice of Meeting ) in respect of a general meeting of Shareholders to be held at 10.00am (WST) on Thursday, 15 November 2018 at 68 Milligan Street, Perth ( Meeting ), the Directors have determined to amend and supplement the information contained in the Notice of Meeting provided to Shareholders by this addendum to the Notice of Meeting ( Addendum ) for the purposes set out below.

Definitions in the Notice of Meeting have the same meaning in this Addendum. In the event of any inconsistency the definitions used in this Addendum prevail.

This Addendum is supplemental to the original Notice of Meeting and should be read in conjunction with the original Notice of Meeting.

Adjournment of Meeting

For the reasons set out below and elsewhere in this Addendum, the Company proposes to adjourn the Meeting to 9.00 am (WST) on Wednesday, 28 November 2018 at 68 Milligan Street, Perth (Adjourned Meeting) in order for Shareholders to have adequate time to consider the supplemental information before voting on the Resolution (as amended).

Background

The pro-forma statement of financial position of the Company that is included in Schedule 1 of the Notice of Meeting is based on the unaudited financial position of the Company on 30 April 2018.

Since the issuing of the Notice of Meeting, the Directors have determined that in order to provide a more accurate background to the Acquisition, the Shareholders should receive a more up-to-date financial position of the Company and the effect of the Acquisition on the Company. In order to achieve this, the Company has prepared an updated pro forma balance sheet using the audited financial position of the Company as at 31 August 2018. The Independent Expert, Nexia Perth Corporate Finance Pty Ltd, has confirmed that no changes are required to the Independent Expert’s Report as a consequence of the updated pro-forma statement of financial position.

As a result of this proposed change the Directors have determined to amend and supplement the information contained in the Notice of Meeting provided to Shareholders by this Addendum. As a result of the adjournment of the Meeting, the indicative timetable for the Consolidation has been amended, as has the anticipated timetable for the key business the subject of the Resolutions.

Proxy Forms

The Company confirms that there have been no changes to the Proxy Form previously dispatched to Shareholders and this Proxy Form is annexed to this Addendum to the Notice of Meeting. Shareholders are advised that:

  • If you have already completed and returned the Proxy Form which was annexed to the original Notice of Meeting and you wish to change your vote, you must complete and return the Proxy Form annexed to this Addendum to the Notice of Meeting.

  • If you have not yet completed and returned a Proxy Form and you wish to vote on the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting, please complete and return the Proxy Form annexed to this Addendum to the Notice of Meeting.

To vote in person, please attend the Meeting at the time, date and place set out above.

By this Addendum to the Notice of Meeting, the Notice of Meeting and the Explanatory Statement to the Notice of Meeting are amended and supplemented by the information set out in this Addendum to the Notice of Meeting.
