a) Biography

Josh Simons is the CEO of Vinyl Group (ASX: VNL), Australia's only ASX-listed music business. He is also the founder of Vampr, a leading social-professional network and talent marketplace for the music industry, which was acquired by Jaxsta in 2023. Over his career, Simons has raised over $25M AUD for his ventures from diverse sources, including venture capital, institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, angel groups, and high-profile crowdfunding campaigns. Under his leadership, Jaxsta relaunched as Vinyl Group in 2023 as a portfolio company encompassing Jaxsta, Vampr, and Vinyl.com. In January 2024, Vinyl Group further expanded by acquiring The Brag Media, adding iconic titles such as Rolling Stone Australia and The Music Network, thereby establishing a media arm within the portfolio. Before transitioning to tech, Simons, who was born in England, established and operated several successful businesses, including a record label, a publishing company, and a film production company. These ventures led him to live in Melbourne, Sydney, London, and Los Angeles, where he later became a U.S. citizen. During this time, Simons also achieved notable success as a musician. As the lead singer of the indie rock band Buchanan, he garnered multi-million streams and global chart impressions, culminating in a sold-out arena tour opening for Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood. His songwriting and production credits include collaborations with Travis Scott, Troye Sivan, and Kanye West. In 2020, Simons was named in The Music Networkʼs 30 Under 30 List and was voted Readerʼs Choice. He holds a Bachelor of Business from Swinburne University, has guest lectured at UCLA and Melbourne University, and presented a TEDx Talk at Macquarie University in 2015.

b) Other current directorships

None

c) Independence

Mr Simons as CEO and Executive is considered to have any interest, position or relationship that might influence or reasonably be perceived to influence in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgment to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Accordingly, the Board considers that Mr Simons is not an Independent Director.

Board recommendation

The Board unanimously supports the election of Mr Simons as a Director and recommends that all Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

RESOLUTION 2: Re-election of director – Ken Gaunt

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director appointed prior to the entity’s admission to the official list must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general

Vinyl Group Ltd | Explanatory Memorandum | page 2 of 26

==> picture [125 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

meeting following the entity’s admission to the official list or 3 years following the entity’s admission to the official list, whichever is the longer.

Clause 14.2 of the Constitution requires that, at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest one third (rounded upwards in the case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director except a Managing Director shall hold office for a period in excess of three years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself for re-election.

Ken Gaunt was appointed as a Director of the Company on 23 March 2020. Mr Gaunt is considered an independent director. In accordance with clause 14.2 of the Constitution, Ken retires from office at the conclusion of the AGM and is eligible for re-election as a Director of the Company.

Zimbabwean born Robert Kenneth ('Ken') Gaunt is a successful entrepreneur and investor with over 30 years of experience in sales management, corporate advisory and early-stage business development.

Ken is an experienced board member holding various national and international board positions throughout his career including as a director on the multi-award winning, iconic tourist attraction, Sydney Seaplanes, as a board member of Hong Kong-based Fintronics Holding Company Limited and as a non-executive director of the Australian listed oil and gas company, K2 Energy Limited.

Board recommendation

The Directors, with Ken Gaunt abstaining, unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3: Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 ( FY24 ) is set out in Vinyl Groupʼs 2024 Annual Report which is available on the Companyʼs website at https://vinyl.group/.

The Remuneration Report outlines the Companyʼs executive remuneration framework and the FY24 remuneration outcomes for the Board, CEO and KMP.

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that the section of the Directors' Report dealing with the remuneration of Directors and other KMPs be put to the vote of Shareholders for adoption by way of a non-binding vote. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the

Directors of the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into account in setting remuneration policy for future years.

Following consideration of the Remuneration Report, the Chair of the Meeting will give

Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Board recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 4: Approval of additional share issue capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to seek shareholder approval by special resolution to issue equity securities equivalent to an additional 10% of the number of ordinary securities on issue by way of placement over a 12 month period a�er the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). This 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the existing 15% Placement Capacity permitted by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that:

  • 1) has a market capitalisation of A$300 million or less; and

  • 2) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index.

The Company currently satisfies both the above criteria, and it is anticipated that it will satisfy both these criteria at the date of the AGM.

Accordingly, Resolution 4 is seeking approval of Shareholders by special resolution for the issue of up to the number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, at an issue price permitted by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3 to such persons as the Board may determine, on the terms described in this Explanatory Memorandum.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 1,023,555,872 fully paid ordinary shares and a capacity to issue:

  • 1) 107,701,966 equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • 2) 31,354,399 equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of equity securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the equity securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during a 10% placement period, without using the Companyʼs 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

Vinyl Group Ltd | Explanatory Memorandum | page 4 of 26

==> picture [125 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during a 10% placement period, without using the Companyʼs 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will only be able to use its 15% Placement Capacity which can limit the Companyʼs ability to raise funds.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided.

  • 1) The minimum price at which the equity securities will be issued will be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Companyʼs ordinary shares calculated over the 15 trading days 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 10 trading days of the date in paragraph a) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.

  • 2) If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders face the risk of economic and voting dilution as a result of the issue of equity securities which are the subject of this Resolution, to the extent that such equity securities are issued, including the risk that:

  • a) the market price of equity securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date on which this approval is being sought; and

  • b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.

  • 3) The table on the below page gives examples of the potential dilution of existing Shareholders calculated as at the date of this Notice using the current market price of shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

The table also shows:

  • a) two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholdersʼ meeting; and

  • b) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

  • c) 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%;

  • d) 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 Facility, based on that Shareholderʼs holding at the date of the AGM;

  • e) the table shows only the effect of issues of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • f) the issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of shares; and

  • g) the issue price is $0.110 per share[2] , being the closing price of the shares on ASX on 16 October 2024.

  • 5) If any of the shares being approved by this Resolution 4 are issued, they will be issued during the placement period which expires on the first to occur of the following:

  • a) The date that is 12 months a�er the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained (i.e. by 28 November 2025);

  • b) The time and date of the entityʼs next annual general meeting; or

The identity of allottees of any equity securities that may be issued (subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 4) have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing Shareholders and/or parties who are not currently Shareholders and are not related parties or associates of the Company. Any potential allottees 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 available to the Company (including but not limited to, rights issue or other issues in which existing security holders can participate), while balancing interest from potential allottees with the interests of existing Shareholders;

  • b) the effect of the issue of equity securities on the control of the Company and balancing the interests of existing Shareholders. Allocation will be subject to takeover thresholds;

  • c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company and its need for working capital at any given time; and

Resolutions 5 - 9: Issue of Options to Directors

General

As announced on 28 April 2022, Vinyl Group had undertaken a strategic and operational review of the Company to reduce costs. As part of this review it has been determined that all non-executive Directors of the Board will be remunerated by way of unlisted options over the two years from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2024 in lieu of receiving board fees. Upon review a�er the two year period, the Board decided to continue on this basis until such a time at which cash fees are more appropriate to the Companyʼs financial situation. The Board fees are split into two elements, one that is in lieu of fees and a second incentive portion to align with shareholder goals. The latter element also applies to Executive directors. Resolutions 5 to 9 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the following number of unlisted options to the Directors as part of aligning their remuneration with the Review and Shareholder expectations:

  • 1) Resolution 5 - 10,000,000 unlisted options to Mr Stephen Gledden (or his nominee);

  • 2) Resolution 6 - 10,000,000 unlisted options to Mr Ben Katovsky (or his nominee);

  • 3) Resolution 7 - 10,000,000 unlisted options to Ms Linda Jenkinson (or her nominee);

  • 4) Resolution 8 - 10,000,000 unlisted options to Mr Robert Gaunt (or his nominee);

(together, the Director Options ).

  • 5) Resolution 9 - 10,000,000 unlisted options to Mr JJoshua Simonsi (or his nominee),

  • (together, the CEO Options ).

Vinyl Group Ltd | Explanatory Memorandum | page 8 of 26

==> picture [125 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

The Director Options will have an exercise price of $0.00 The CEO Options will have an exercise price of $0.00. The Director Options will have an expiry date of 3 years from the date of issue and the CEO Options will have an expiry date of 5 years from the date of issue

The primary purpose for issuing the Director Options and CEO Options in place of cash Director fees is to enable the Company to manage its cash flow to preserve the Companyʼs cash reserves. The Director Options and CEO Options will also link Directors ongoing contributions with the Company's success which is likely to benefit Shareholders. The Director Options will vest in four tranches as follows:

  • 1) 12.5% vesting on the one year anniversary of the service period, being 30 June 2025 (Tranche 1);

  • 2) 12.5% vesting on the two year anniversary of the service period, being 30 June 2026 (Tranche 2);

  • 3) 37.5% vesting upon the Companyʼs share price reaching a 14 day Volume Weighted Adjusted Price (VWAP) of $0.15 (Tranche 3); and

  • 4) the remaining 37.5% vesting upon the Companyʼs share price reaching a 14 day VWAP of $0.20 and reaching a one year anniversary from the Grant Date (Tranche 4).

The Tranche 1 and 2 Director Options will be issued to the directors, subject to Shareholder approval, in lieu of the directors and officers fixed cash remuneration cap previously approved by Vinyl Group shareholders. Tranche 3 and 4 of the Directors Options are performance securities converting into less than 2% of the Companyʼs fully diluted share capital to be issued subject, to Shareholder approval, to directors to:

  • 1) link director performance to Shareholder value;

  • 2) align the interest of directors more closely with the interests of Shareholders by providing directors an opportunity to receive shares in Vinyl Group; and

  • 3) provide greater incentive for directors to focus on the Companyʼs longer term goals.

For the Director Options, Tranche 3 can vest prior to Tranche #1 & #2 if the required VWAP occurs before the Tranche #1 or #2 date. Tranche #4 can vest prior to Tranche #2 if the required VWAP occurs before the Tranche #2 date.

The CEO Options will vest equally in three tranches with

  • 1) 33.3% vesting upon the Companyʼs share price reaching a 14 day Volume Weighted Adjusted Price (VWAP) of $0.15 (CEO Tranche 1);

  • 2) 33.3% vesting upon the Companyʼs share price reaching a 14 day Volume Weighted Adjusted Price (VWAP) of $0.20 (CEO Tranche 2); and

  • 3) the remaining 33.4% vesting upon the Companyʼs share price reaching a 14 day VWAP of $0.25 (CEO Tranche 3).

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Vinyl Group Ltd | Explanatory Memorandum | page 9 of 26

==> picture [125 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

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:

  • 1) obtain the approval of the public companyʼs members in the manner set out in sections 217 and 227 of the Corporations Act; and

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

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

The Directors are considered to be related parties within the meaning of the Corporations Act, and the grant of the Director Options and CEO Options, which are the subjects of Resolutions 5 to 9, will constitute a financial benefit for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

An exception to the requirement to obtain Shareholder approval in accordance with Chapter 2E applies where the financial benefit constitutes part of the related party's reasonable remuneration. The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issues because the Director Options will be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees) in lieu of their normal, periodic directorsʼ fees, and are considered to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act. In reaching this conclusion, the Board has had regard to a variety of factors including market practice and the remuneration offered to persons in comparable positions at comparable companies as well as the primary purpose for issuing the Director Options, being to assist the Company in managing its cash flow by preserving the Companyʼs cash reserves.

Listing Rule 10.11

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

  • 1) a related party;

  • 2) 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;

  • 3) 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;

  • 4) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 5) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASXʼs opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of the Director Options and CEO Options fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 (as each party, the

Vinyl Group Ltd | Explanatory Memorandum | page 10 of 26

==> picture [125 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

subject of Resolutions 5 to 9 respectively, is a Director of the Company or a Director of the Company within six months of the issue of Options) and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Resolutions 5 to 9 therefore require the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 5 to 9 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Options and CEO Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

Consequences if each of Resolutions 5 to 9 are approved

If Resolutions 5 to 9 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options and CEO Options within one month a�er the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Options and CEO Options(because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Options and CEO Options will not use up any of the Companyʼs 15% annual placement capacity.

Consequences if each of Resolutions 5 to 9 are NOT approved

If Resolutions 5 to 9 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options to Mr Gledden, Mr Katovsky, Ms Jenkinson and Mr Gaunt in lieu of cash payments for their Directorsʼ fees and and the issue of CEO Options to Mr Simons and the Company will need to satisfy the payment of these fees and incentives out of the Companyʼs cash reserves, which would:

  • 1) have significant negative impacts on the Companyʼs cash flows; and

  • 2) have an adverse impacts on the Companyʼs remuneration and talent retention strategy.

Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 to 9:

  • 1) the Director Options or CEO Options will be issued to:

  • 6) the purpose of the issue of Director Options and CEO Options under Resolutions 5 to 9 is to appropriately remunerate Mr Gledden, Mr Katovsky, Ms Jenkinson, Mr Gaunt and Mr Simons, for their Directorsʼ fees in lieu of the Company paying such fees in cash, therefore no funds will be raised as a result of the issue of Directors Options and CEO Options under Resolutions 5 to 9; and

Board recommendation

Resolution 10: Approval Of Employee Option Plan

General

Resolution 10 seeks Shareholders approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled ʻEmployee Option Planʼ (Plan) and for the issue of Options under the Plan, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(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 13(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 10 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Options under the Plan to eligible employees over a period of 3 years from the date of approval without impacting on the Companyʼs ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without prior Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is

Vinyl Group Ltd | Explanatory Memorandum | page 13 of 26

==> picture [125 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

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 issues of Options under the Plan to a Director, an associate of the Director, or a person whose relationship with the Company, Director or associate of the Director is, in ASXʼs opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.

Previous issues

Shareholders should note that the Company issued a total of 12,945,000 under the Jaxsta Incentive Plan that was approved by shareholders on 11 June 2021. No Options have previously been issued under the proposed Plan.

Maximum number of options that can be issued under the proposed plan

The maximum number of Options that may be issued under the plan are 51,177,794 .

Other employee incentive schemes

Other than the Plan, the Company does not operate any other employee incentive schemes.

Key terms and conditions of the Plan

A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 2. 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 (+61 2 8317 1000). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

A Voting Exclusion Statement accompanies Resolution 6 in the Notice of Meeting.
