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 which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

Resolution 1 – Adoption of Incentive Option Plan

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled Incentive Option Plan ( Plan ) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).

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. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Options under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company's ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period (subject to any capacity previously used under the Plan pursuant to Resolution 1).

Shareholders should note that no Options have previously been issued under the Plan.

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Options under the Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Any future issues of Options under the Plan 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.

A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Annexure C. In addition, a copy of the Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

Resolution 2 – Variation of terms of Performance Shares

2.1 General

The Company currently has on issue 31,500,000 Performance Shares on the terms and conditions specified in Annexure B ( Performance Shares ). These Performance Shares were issued by the Company, pursuant to an offer under its recompliance prospectus dated 16 May 2016, to the Vendor (or its nominee) in consideration for the acquisition of the Thredit Limited (a company incorporated in Hong Kong).

Section 2.4 of the Company’s Constitution provides that the rights attaching to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may be varied, whether or not the Company is being wound up:

(a) with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued Shares of that class; or

Page | 8

  • (b) if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of the class; and

any variation of the rights shall be subject to Part 2F.21 of Chapter 2F of the Corporations Act.

Part 2F.2, section 246B of the Corporations Act provides a mechanism for varying the rights of a class of securities on issue. It requires:

  • (a) a special resolution of the Shareholders of the company approving the variation of the class rights; and

  • (b) the written consent of the holder of the Performance Shares to the variation of the class rights.

The holders of the Performance Shares will be separately be asked to provide their written consent to the variation of the Performance Rights.

This Resolution 2, for the variation of the terms of the Performance Shares, is subject to and conditional upon the Company obtaining all necessary consents and approvals from the ASX. In the event that the Company does not obtain the necessary ASX consent and approval for this Resolution 2 by the date of the Meeting, the Company will withdraw the Resolution from the Meeting

2.2 Proposed variation

The terms and conditions of the Performance Shares as at the date of this Notice are specified in Annexure B. Pursuant to their terms, the Performance Shares had four separate performance Milestones which would result in the conversion of a specific number of Performance Shares into Shares. Milestone 1 was achieved on 14 September 2016 (see the Company’s announcement on 14 September 2016) and Milestones 2 and 3 were not completed within the required timeframe and lapsed. Accordingly, at the date of this Notice, the only remaining Milestone is specified at clause l(iv) of Schedule B ( Remaining Milestone ), being:

“31.5 million Performance Shares shall convert upon 1 million downloads of the Thred App being completed within a period of 360 days from the date of completion of the Capital Raising” .

The above milestone was originally designed to incentivise the founders and promoters of the Thred app to achieve what were, at the time, the envisaged goals of the Company. Since that time, however, and as indicated in the Company’s announcement of 13 December 2016, and in line with changes in the rapidly shifting digital landscape, the focus of Thred’s development and strategic direction has been on fast tracking Thred’s global rollout. Accordingly, as a result of this revised business strategy and consistent with feedback from advisors and ordinary shareholders that the founders and promoters of Thred have been adequately rewarded, and future incentives should be in the form of an Incentive Option Plan as set out in Resolution 1, the Board believes it is in the Company’s interest to propose making a variation to the terms of the Performance Shares by deleting the Remaining Milestone. As a result, there will be no remaining Milestones and all Performance Shares on issue will lapse.

Resolution 2 is a special resolution, meaning that at least 75% of all votes cast on the Resolution need to be cast in favour of the Resolution for it to be passed.

Resolution 3 – Ratification of Prior Issues of Securities

3.1 General

The Company issued the following Securities on the following dates:

  • (a) on 28 February 2017 10,847,819 Shares were issued to the Underwriter (and/or its nominees) in consideration for underwriting services provided in respect of the Company’s recent Entitlement Offer ( Underwriter Shares ); and

  • (b) on 28 February 2017 20,000,000 Options were issued to the Lead Manager as a fee for providing capital raising services to the Company under the Mandate ( Promoter Options );

Page | 9

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Securities outlined above ( Ratification ).

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

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.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

3.2 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 the Ratification:

  • (a) the Securities issued were 10,847,819 Underwriter Shares and 20,000,000 Promoter Options;

  • (b) the issue price of the Underwriter Shares was $0.02 per share, in consideration for underwriting services provided by the Underwriter to the Company in respect of the Entitlement Offer prospectus dated 6 December 2016;

  • (g) the Promoter Options were issued to the Lead Manager (and/or its nominees) and clients of the Lead Manager who are exempt investors under section 708 of the Corporations Act and none of whom are related parties of the Company; and

  • (h) no cash consideration was raised by the Company from the issue of the Underwriter Shares or the Promoter Options.

Resolution 4 – Authority to Issue Placement Shares

4.1 General

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of up to 15,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share to raise up to $300,000 ( Placement ).

Page | 10

Pursuant to the Mandate with the Lead Manager, the Company agreed that the Lead Manager has the right to manage the Placement for a period of 3 months from completion of the Entitlement Offer. The Company will pay the Lead Manager a fee of 6% (exclusive of goods and services tax) on the amount raised under the Placement.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 3.1 above.

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares pursuant to the Placement during the period of 3 months after the Meeting, without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

4.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued under the Placement is 15,000,000:

  • (b) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date;

  • (f) the Company intends to use the funds raised from the Placement towards the development and marketing of the Company’s social messaging and e-commerce platform and general working capital.

Resolution 5 – Authority to Issue Shares to Company Secretary

5.1 General

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the allotment and issue of 250,000 Shares, in consideration for out-of-scope services provided by Damon Sweeny ( Fee Shares ).

Annexure C – Terms of Plan

Subject to Shareholder approval at the Meeting, the Company will adopt an Incentive Option Plan ( Plan ) as a means of rewarding its employees and consultants. The Board will make offers to persons to participate in the Plan based on their contribution to the Company. The Options will not be listed.

The key terms of the Plan are as follows:

Term Meaning
Eligibility Participants must be a permanent full-time, part-time employee, a Director
(whether executive or non-executive) or a selected casual employee
(Participant).
Administration The Plan will be administered by the Board, who has absolute and unfettered
discretion to act (or refrain from acting) in connection with the Plan, including the
delegation of any of its powers.
Offer The Board may, in its absolute discretion, make a written offer (pursuant to an
Offer Document) to any Participant to apply for Options, upon the terms set out
in the Plan and upon such terms and conditions as the Board determines.
Acceptance A Participant may accept an Offer in whole or in part, by signing and returning an
Acceptance Form to the Company. The Board may accept or reject any
Acceptance Form in its absolute discretion.
Option Each Option will be issued for no more than nominal consideration and entitles
the Participant to subscribe for one Share in the Company (subject to adjustments
for reconstructions of the capital of the Company) at an exercise price to be
determined by the Board.
Grant The Board has the discretion to set the terms and condition so which it will offer
and grant Options under the Plan, including the vesting conditions and any waiver
of the terms and conditions. The vesting conditions will be specified in the Offer
Document to the relevant Participant.
Exercise Options that have vested are generally able to be exercised prior to their expiry
date (Exercise Period). On exercise the Participant must pay the relevant
exercise price for those Options.
Shares Shares issued on exercise of Options issued under the Plan will rank equally with
the other issued Shares. Depending on the terms of issue, the Shares may be
subject to disposal restrictions, which means that they may not be disposed or
dealt with for a period of time, or may not be issued until the expiration of such
restriction period.
Shares allocated on vesting or exercise of an Option carry the same rights and
entitlements as other issued Shares, including dividend and voting rights.
Quotation Options will not be quoted on the ASX. If other shares are officially quoted on the
ASX at the time of issue of Shares under the Plan, the Company will apply for
Official Quotation of any Shares issued under the Plan, in accordance with the
ASX Listing Rules.
Cessation of
Eligibility
If a Participant ceases to be eligible as a Participant under the Plan, any unvested
Options will not vest.
However, the Board may elect to waive any vesting conditions on the vesting of
any Options if a Participant has died, suffered total and permanent disablement
or been made redundant.

Page | 19

Change of
control
On a change of control event, all option vesting Conditions are deemed to be
automatically waived, immediately vesting unvested Options in the Participant.
In respect of vested, exercised Options, a Participant may be provided with
shares of the company acquiring control of the Company, in lieu of Shares of the
Company, on substantially the same terms with appropriate adjustments.
Restrictions Without the prior approval of the Board, or unless required by law, Options may
not be sold, transferred, encumbered or otherwise dealt with.
Amendments To the extent permitted by the ASX Listing Rules, the Board retains the discretion
to vary the terms and conditions of the Plan.
No adjustment or variation of the terms of an Option will be made without the
consent of the relevant Participant, unless such amendment is required by law,
to correct any manifest error or mistake, or for certain tax reasons.
Other terms The Plan also contains customary and usual terms having regard to Australian
law for dealing with administration, variation, suspension and termination of the
Plan.
