Letter from the Chairman

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

The WAM Active Limited (WAM Active or the Company) Board of Directors is pleased to offer you the opportunity to increase your holding in the Company with the announcement of a 2 for 3 pro-rata nonrenounceable Entitlement Offer (Entitlement Offer) at an issue price of $1.00 per New Share, a discount to the current share price[1] . The WAM Active Board of Directors are confident in the investment portfolio, and each intend to apply for their full Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer.

“This provides an equitable opportunity for shareholders to increase their exposure to WAM Active’s proven and flexible investment strategy, which is delivering strong investment portfolio outperformance for shareholders.”

Geoff Wilson AO, Chairman

The 2 for 3 pro-rata non-renounceable Entitlement Offer of new fully paid Shares will raise up to approximately $51.4 million (51.4 million New Shares). This will be invested in accordance with the Company’s proven and flexible investment approach, which focuses on identifying market mispricing opportunities in the Australian equity market, and has led to strong investment portfolio outperformance since inception.

Lead Portfolio Manager Oscar Oberg and Deputy Portfolio Manager Shaun Weick discussed the investment portfolio positioning, their outlook for small-cap stocks in 2026 and answered audience questions in the WAM Active FY2026 Interim Results Q&A webinar held on 14 January 2026. A recording is available here.

Entitlement Offer

Shareholders who take up their Entitlement Offer will be guaranteed 2 New Shares for every 3 WAM Active Shares held as of the Record Date of Wednesday 4 February 2026 at 7:00pm (Sydney time), provided application monies are received prior to the closing date of the Entitlement Offer, Friday 20 February 2026, in accordance with the Offer Booklet and the personalised entitlement and acceptance form. Shareholders who participate in the Entitlement Offer will do so without incurring any brokerage costs and New Shares will receive the fully franked interim dividend of 3.2 cents per share and the special fully franked dividend of 1.0 cents per share[2] .

The Issue Price of $1.00 per New Share represents a discount to the current share price[1] . The annualised fully franked interim dividend of 6.4 cents per share, excluding the special fully franked dividend of 1.0 cents per share, represents an annualised fully franked interim dividend yield of 6.4% and a grossed-up dividend yield[3] of 9.1% on the Issue Price of $1.00 per New Share.

WAM Active’s pre-tax net tangible assets (NTA) at 31 December 2025 was $0.99 per share. The investment portfolio continues to deliver strong performance, increasing 4.9%[4] in January 2026 and 37.9%[4] since the start of the financial year.

Top-Up Facility

Shareholders who take up their Entitlement Offer in full may also apply for additional new shares in excess of their Entitlement (Additional New Shares) under a Top-Up Facility (Top-Up Facility). Any New Shares not applied for by WAM Active shareholders will be included in the Top-Up Facility. Applications for Additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility will be allocated at the sole discretion of the WAM Active Board of Directors and will be subject to scale back (where applicable). There is no guarantee that a Shareholder who applies for Additional New Shares will receive all or any of the Additional New Shares that they applied for. Shareholders who participate in the Top-Up Facility will do so without incurring any brokerage costs and New Shares will receive the fully franked interim dividend of 3.2 cents per share and the special fully franked dividend of 1.0 cents per share[2] . New Shares issued under the Top-Up Facility will rank equally with existing WAM Active Shares on issue from their date of issue.

Shortfall Offer and Placement

The Company has completed a bookbuild that was conducted following the close of trading on the ASX on 29 January 2026 in relation to the Shortfall Offer. That bookbuild attracted strong support from both existing professional and sophisticated shareholders[5] and new wholesale investors. The bookbuild was oversubscribed, with demand in excess of the Entitlement Offer.

In light of this strong demand for participation, the Company is also undertaking an institutional placement (Placement) with shares to be issued at the conclusion of the Entitlement Offer to enable further participation for investors interested in the bookbuild, who will otherwise be subject to scale back. The Placement is for approximately $19.3 million and is being conducted at the Issue Price.

The Placement is expected to be issued on Monday 2 March 2026, along with the New Shares issued under the Shortfall Offer (if a shortfall arises following completion of the Entitlement Offer). The price per New Share under the

5

Placement is at the same price as the Entitlement Offer, and any shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing WAM Active shares from their date of issue.

Benefits to shareholders

The Entitlement Offer is designed to deliver benefits to Shareholders beyond the opportunity for participants to purchase shares at an attractive discount to the current share price[1] . The Entitlement Offer entitles Eligible Shareholders to increase their interest in the Company on a pro-rata basis without incurring brokerage costs and receive the fully franked interim dividend of 3.2 cents per share and the special fully franked dividend of 1.0 cents per share[2] on New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer and Top-Up Facility.

The capital raising will grow the Company’s assets, and continue to increase its relevance in the market, improve the prospect of additional broker and research coverage, increase interest from financial planners and gain additional access to market opportunities. The increased size is also expected to reduce the fixed expense ratio of the Company to the benefit of all Shareholders.

“The WAM Active investment team and I are pleased to deliver continued investment portfolio outperformance for shareholders. We believe 2026 will provide compelling trading opportunities.”

Oscar Oberg, Lead Portfolio Manager

Use of the additional capital

The proceeds will be invested in accordance with WAM Active’s proven active and flexible investment approach, which focuses on identifying market mispricing opportunities in the Australian equity market. The WAM Active investment portfolio significantly outperformed for the 12 and six-month periods to 31 December 2025, increasing 41.4%[4] and 31.4%[4] respectively, as a direct result of the stock selections and the benefits of the adjustment in the dynamic portfolio construction. Since inception in January 2008, the WAM Active investment portfolio has increased 13.0%[4] per annum as at 31 December 2025, outperforming the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index by 6.9% per annum and the Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index (Cash) by 10.0% per annum.

WAM Active’s assets at 31 December 2025 were $80.6 million, 94.7% of which were allocated to equities, with the remaining 5.3% held in cash and cash equivalents. The fund has a flexible investment mandate, with the cash balance reflective of the opportunities the investment team sees in the market as they arise.

Participation in the Entitlement Offer is optional and open to Eligible Shareholders, being holders of fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday 4 February 2026 whose address on the Company’s share register is in Australia or New Zealand.

2.10 Foreign Shareholders

The New Shares being offered under this Offer Booklet are being offered to Shareholders with a registered address in Australia and New Zealand. The Entitlement Offer will not be offered to foreign Ineligible Shareholders (see Section 2.4). The Company has determined that it is not economically viable and/or practicable for it to make offers to foreign Ineligible Shareholders due to the cost of meeting compliance requirements with securities laws in each applicable jurisdiction in which foreign Ineligible Shareholders reside. The Company reserves the right in its absolute discretion to offer the Entitlement Offer to a Shareholder with an address in the Company's share register outside Australia or New Zealand if the Company is satisfied that it is not precluded from lawfully issuing New Shares to that Shareholder either unconditionally or after compliance with conditions which the Directors in their sole discretion regard as acceptable.

2.11 Nominees and custodians

If the Company believes you hold Shares as a nominee or custodian you will have received, or will shortly receive, a letter in respect of the Entitlement Offer. Nominees and custodians should consider carefully the contents of that letter. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder or investor is acting as a nominee or custodian or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of existing Shares. Where any person is acting as a nominee or custodian for a foreign person, that person, in dealing with its beneficiary will need to assess whether the distribution of any documents relating to the Entitlement Offer (including this Offer Booklet) or the indirect participation in the Entitlement Offer by the beneficiary complies with applicable foreign laws.

Nominees and custodians may not distribute any part of this Offer Booklet, and may not permit any beneficial shareholder to participate in the Entitlement Offer, in any country outside Australia or New Zealand, without the consent of the Company, taking into consideration applicable securities laws.

Due to legal restrictions, nominees and custodians may not send copies of this Offer Booklet or any material relating to the Entitlement Offer or accept the Entitlement Offer in relation to any person in any other jurisdiction outside Australia or New Zealand.

How to apply

14 WAM Active Entitlement Offer

3.1 Making an Application

If you decide to participate in the Entitlement Offer, you may do so by:

  • (a) applying online through the offer website at www.waaentitlementoffer.com.au and making your payment in accordance with the instructions on the offer website (which includes making payment by BPAY®) (this method is recommended and if you apply online through the offer website you can do so immediately without waiting for receipt of your Entitlement and Acceptance Form through the post);

  • (b) completing and returning the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and attaching or making payment by following the instructions set out on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form (which includes making payment by BPAY®).

If your payment is being made by BPAY® you do not need to complete and return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you take no action, you will not be allocated any New Shares.

3.2 Acceptance of the Entitlement Offer and payment

If you make an Online Application (this is recommended) you must then make payment in Australian currency either by BPAY® or by sending a cheque in Australian currency for the amount of your Application monies, payable to “WAM Active Limited” and crossed “Not Negotiable”.

If you do not wish to make an Online Application, you must complete and return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form which must be accompanied by a cheque in Australian currency for the amount of your Application monies, payable to “WAM Active Limited” and crossed “Not Negotiable”.

You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in relevant account(s) to cover the Application monies. If the amount of your cheque for Application monies (or the amount for which the cheque clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares you have applied for in your Online Application or in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of whole New Shares as your cleared Application monies will pay for (and be taken to have specified that number of New Shares in your Online Application or on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form).

If your payment is being made by BPAY® (whether following an Online Application or otherwise):

  • (a) you do not need to submit the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to make each of the statements and representations in that form;

  • (b) if you subscribe for less than your Entitlement or do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are taken to have exercised your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application monies; and

  • (c) it is your responsibility to ensure that your payment is received by the Registry by no later than the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to payments being made by BPAY®, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.

Any payment received for more than your final allocation of New Shares will be refunded after the New Shares are issued. No interest will be paid to applicants on any payment received or refunded.

3.3 Top-Up Facility

Eligible Shareholders who take up their Entitlement in full are also able to participate in a further offer of Additional New Shares, being Shares that have been initially offered to Eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer and have not been taken up by them. Please note that the Additional New Shares in excess of Entitlements will only be allocated to Eligible Shareholders if and to the extent that the Company determines and in accordance with the allocation policy determined by the Directors.

The Company’s current intention is to use its discretion to facilitate Eligible Shareholders acquiring Additional New Shares, subject to any scale back required under the takeover provisions of the Corporations Act, and to facilitate proportional participation where oversubscribed.

The Directors reserve the right to alter the allocation policy and to allocate and issue Additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility at their discretion. The Company’s decision to allocate and issue Additional New Shares is final. Subject to any changes at the Directors’ discretion, the allocation policy for Additional Shares subscribed for pursuant to the Top-Up Facility will be as follows:

  • (1) to any Eligible Shareholders who have applied for Additional New Shares through the Top-Up Facility by the Closing Date; and

  • (2) if any shortfall remains, through the Shortfall Offer described at Section 3.4 below.

15

03) How to apply

Eligible Shareholders who apply for Additional New Shares may be allocated a lesser number of Additional New Shares than applied for, or may be allocated no Additional New Shares at all, in which case excess Application monies will be refunded without interest.

Refund amounts in excess of $1.00, if any, will be paid in Australian dollars. You will be paid by direct deposit where the Registry holds bank account details in respect of your shareholding. If the Registry does not hold bank account details in respect of your shareholding, you will be sent a withheld notice with an electronic funds transfer (EFT) request form.

If you wish to subscribe for Additional New Shares in addition to your Entitlement then you should nominate the maximum number of Shortfall Offer Shares you wish to subscribe for in your Online Application or on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and make payment for your full Entitlement plus the Additional New Shares (at $1.00 per New Share).

If your payment is being made by BPAY®:

  • (a) you do not need to submit the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to make each of the statements and representations in that form; and

  • (b) if your payment exceeds the amount payable for your full Entitlement, you are taken to have exercised your Entitlement in full and to have applied for such number of Additional New Shares which is covered in full by your Application monies.

If you apply for Additional New Shares in your Online Application or in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form and your Application is successful (in whole or in part) your Additional New Shares will be issued at the same time as other New Shares are issued under the Entitlement Offer.

In addition, no Shares under the Entitlement Offer will be issued to any Eligible Shareholder, if, in the view of the Directors, to do so would result in a breach of the ASX Listing Rules, the Corporations Act or any other applicable law.

Each Director reserves the right to participate in full or in part or not participate in the Entitlement Offer. Note, per Listing Rule 10.11 Directors cannot participate in the Top-Up Facility.

3.4 Shortfall Offer

Allocations to

participants in the Shortfall Offer will be in agreement with the Joint Lead Managers.

The Directors’ allocation policy in respect of any residual Shortfall is to encourage the introduction of new investors to the Company by placing the New Shares to professional and sophisticated investors.

Any New Shares to be issued under the Shortfall Offer are offered at the same price and under the same terms as the Entitlement Offer.

The 2 for 3 pro-rata non-renounceable Entitlement Offer of New Shares will raise up to approximately $51.4 million (51.4 million New Shares).

This will be invested in accordance with the Company’s proven and flexible investment approach, which focuses on identifying market mispricing opportunities in the Australian equity market, and has led to strong investment portfolio outperformance since inception.

The Shortfall Offer bookbuild was oversubscribed, with demand exceeding the Entitlement Offer. In response, the Company is also undertaking an approximately $19.3 million institutional placement at the Offer Price to accommodate additional investor demand.

Benefits to shareholders

The Entitlement Offer is designed to deliver benefits to shareholders beyond the opportunity for participants to purchase shares at an attractive discount to the current share price[6] . The Entitlement Offer entitles eligible shareholders[1] to increase their interest in the Company on a pro-rata basis without incurring brokerage costs and receive the fully franked interim dividend of 3.2 cents per share and the special fully franked dividend of 1.0 cents per share[4] on New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer.

The capital raising will grow the Company’s assets, and continue to increase its relevance and liquidity in the market, improve the prospect of additional broker and research coverage, increase interest from financial planners and gain additional access to market opportunities. The increased size is also expected to reduce the fixed expense ratio of the Company to the benefit of all shareholders.

The proceeds will be invested in accordance with the Company’s proven and flexible investment approach, which focuses on identifying market mispricing opportunities in the Australian equity market. The WAM Active investment portfolio significantly outperformed for the 12 and six-month periods to 31 December 2025, increasing 41.4%[3] and 31.4%[3] respectively, as a direct result of the stock selections and the benefits of the adjustment in the dynamic portfolio construction. Since inception in January 2008, the WAM Active investment portfolio has increased 13.0%[3] per annum, outperforming the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index by 6.9% per annum and the Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index (Cash) by 10.0% per annum.

The investment portfolio continues to deliver strong performance, increasing an estimated 7.0%[3] in January 2026 and 40.6%[3] since the start of the financial year.

WAM Active’s assets at 31 December 2025 were $80.6 million, 94.7% of which were allocated to equities, with the remaining 5.3% held in cash and cash equivalents. The fund has a flexible investment mandate, with the cash balance reflective of the opportunities the investment team sees in the market as they arise.

Shareholders who take up their Entitlement Offer in full may also apply for additional new shares in excess of their Entitlement (Additional New Shares) under a Top-Up Facility (Top-Up Facility).

Any New Shares not applied for by WAM Active shareholders will be included in the Top-Up Facility. Applications for Additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility will be allocated at the sole discretion of the WAM Active Board of Directors and will be subject to any scale back required under the takeover provisions of the Corporations Act, and to facilitate proportional participation where oversubscribed. Allocations to participants in the Shortfall Offer will be in agreement with the Joint Lead Managers. There is no guarantee that a Shareholder who applies for Additional New Shares will receive all or any of the Additional New Shares that they applied for. Shareholders who participate in the Top-Up Facility will do so without incurring any brokerage costs and will receive the fully franked interim dividend of 3.2 cents per share and the special fully franked dividend of 1.0 cents per share[4] . New Shares issued under the Top-Up Facility will rank equally with existing WAM Active shares from their date of issue.

The Company has completed a bookbuild that was conducted following the close of trading on the ASX on 29 January 2026 in relation to the Shortfall Offer, whereby certain wholesale investors[2] will be invited to apply for New Shares not subscribed for under the Entitlement Offer and Top-Up Facility. That bookbuild attracted strong support from both existing professional and sophisticated shareholders[2] and new wholesale investors. The bookbuild was oversubscribed, with demand in excess of the Entitlement Offer. The Company will place any New Shares available under the Shortfall Offer at the same price and under the same terms as the Entitlement Offer. There will be no general public offer of New Shares under the Shortfall Offer, as it is not available to retail investors. New Shares issued under the Shortfall Offer will rank equally with existing WAM Active shares from their date of issue.

In light of this strong demand for participation, the Company is also undertaking an institutional placement ( Placement ) with shares to be issued at the conclusion of the Entitlement Offer to enable further participation for investors interested in the bookbuild, who will otherwise be subject to scale back. The Placement is for approximately $19.3 million and is being conducted at the Offer Price. The Placement is expected to be issued on Monday 2 March 2026, along with the New Shares issued under Shortfall Offer (if a shortfall arises following completion of the Entitlement Offer). The Placement is pursuant to the Company's available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and utilising the Company’s additional 10% placement capacity approved by shareholders at the most recent AGM under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The price per New Share under the Placement is at the same price as the Entitlement Offer, and any shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing WAM Active shares from their date of issue.

Risk factors

25

05) Risk factors

This section identifies the areas the Directors regard as the main risks associated with an investment in the Company.

Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment in the Company involves many risks, which may be higher than the risks associated with an investment in other companies. Eligible Shareholders should read the whole of this Offer Booklet and consult with their professional advisers for legal, business, financial or tax advice in order to fully appreciate such matters and the manner in which the Company intends to operate before any decision is made to apply for New Shares.

The following is a non-exhaustive summary of the key risks associated with an investment in the Company:

5.1 Specific Risks

  • (a) Dilution of existing Shareholdings in the Company: Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements in full will have their percentage interest in the Company reduced. The exact amount of dilution will depend on the level of shareholder participation. Given the structure of the Entitlement Offer (2 New Shares for every 3 existing Shares held at the Record Date) and the Placement, this will mean that the dilution to existing Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements in full may be significant.

At completion of the Entitlement Offer and Placement, if the full Entitlement is taken up, it is anticipated that the Company’s share capital will increase from 77,171,378 Shares to approximately 147,911,806 Shares. For Shareholders who do not take up their full Entitlement, the Shareholder will have their percentage interest in the Company reduced by up to approximately 47.8% as compared to their percentage interest in the Company as at the Record Date.

  • (b) Investment strategy: The success and profitability of the Company will largely depend on the Investment Manager’s continued ability to manage the portfolio in a manner that complies with the Company’s objectives, strategies, policies, guidelines and permitted investments. A failure to do so may negatively impact the Company and its securities. In addition, there are risks inherent in the investment strategy that the Investment Manager will employ for the Company.

  • (c) Investment Manager’s performance: The past performance of portfolios managed by the Investment Manager, and persons associated with the Investment Manager, are not necessarily a guide to future performance of the Company. The success and profitability of the Company depends almost entirely on the ability of the Investment Manager to construct a portfolio of investments, exposed to well managed businesses that have the ability to increase in value

over time. Even if the Company does not perform well, it may be difficult to remove the Investment Manager.

  • (d) Market risk: Broad market risks include movements in domestic and international securities markets, movements in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, changes in taxation laws and other laws affecting investments and their value. The Company’s portfolio is constructed so as to minimise market risks. Certain events may have a negative effect on the price of all types of investments within a particular market.

These events may include changes in economic, social, technological or political conditions, as well as market sentiment. The Investment Manager seeks to minimise market and economic risks but cannot eliminate them entirely.

  • (e) Equity risk: There is a risk that Shares will fall in value over short or extended periods of time. Historically, shares have outperformed other traditional asset classes over the long term. Share markets tend to move in cycles, and individual share prices may fluctuate and underperform other asset classes over extended periods of time. Shareholders in the Company are exposed to this risk both through their holding in the Company’s securities as well as through the Company’s portfolio.

  • (f) Short selling risk: Short selling securities involves borrowing stock and selling these borrowed securities. Short selling is subject to the theoretically unlimited risk of loss because there is no limit on how much the price of a security may appreciate. Additionally, there is a risk that the securities lender may request return of the securities. These risks may give rise to the possibility that positions may have to be liquidated at a loss and not at a time of the Investment Manager’s choosing.

  • (g) Industry risk: There are a number of industry risk factors that may effect the future operation or performance of the Company. These factors are outside the control of the Company. Such factors include increased regulatory and compliance costs and variations in legislations and government policies generally.

  • (h) Interest rate risk: Interest rate movements may adversely affect the value of the Company through their effect on the price of a security and the cost of borrowing.

26 WAM Active Entitlement Offer

==> picture [42 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

  • (i) Default risk: Investment in securities and financial instruments generally involves third parties as custodial and counter parties to contracts. Use of third parties carries risk of default and failure to secure custody that could adversely affect the value of the Company. The Company outsources key operational functions including investment management, custody, execution, administration and valuation to a number of third party service providers. There is a risk that third party service providers may intentionally or unintentionally breach their obligations to the Company or provide services below standards that are expected by the Company, causing loss to the Company.

  • (j) Compensation fee structure risk: The Investment Manager may receive compensation based on the Company’s performance. Performance fee arrangements may create an incentive for the Investment Manager to make more speculative or higher risk investments than might otherwise be the case.

  • (k) Regulatory risk: All investments carry the risk that their value may be affected by changes in laws and regulations, especially taxation laws. Regulatory risk includes risk associated with variations in the taxation laws of Australia or other jurisdictions in which the Company holds investments.

  • (l) Concentration risk: There may be more volatility in the portfolio as compared to the broader market because the portfolio will be comprised of a smaller number of securities than the broader market.

5.2 General Risks

  • (a) Nature of investment: Any potential investor should be aware that subscribing for New Shares involves risks. The New Shares to be issued under this Entitlement Offer carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return on capital or the market value of those New Shares. An Applicant may not be able to recoup their initial investment. Specifically, the risks include:

  • (i) the price at which the Applicant is able to sell the New Shares is less than the price paid due to changes in market conditions;

  • (ii) the Applicant is unable to sell the New Shares; and

  • (iii) the Company is placed in receivership or liquidation making it reasonably foreseeable that Shareholders could receive none, or only some of their initial investment.

  • (b) Economic factors: The operating and financial performance of the Company is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions including

the levels of consumer confidence and spending, business confidence and investment, employment, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, access to debt and capital markets, fiscal policy, monetary policy and regulatory policies. A prolonged deterioration in any number of the above factors may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial performance.

  • (c) Management actions: The Directors will, to the best of their knowledge, experience and ability (in conjunction with their management) endeavour to anticipate, identify and manage the risks inherent in the activities of the Company, but without assuming any personal liability for same, with the aim of reducing, avoiding and mitigating the impact of risks on the performance of the Company and its securities.

  • (d) Insurance arrangements: The Company maintains insurance within ranges of coverage the Company believes to be consistent with industry practice and having regard to the nature of activities being conducted. No assurance, however, can be given that the Company will be able to obtain such insurance coverage at reasonable rates or that any coverage it arranges will be adequate and available to cover any such claims.

  • (e) Operational risks and costs: The Company will be exposed to operational risks and costs present in the current business. Operational risk has the potential to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance and position as well as reputation. The Company will endeavour to take appropriate action or obtain appropriate insurance to mitigate these risks, however certain residual risk will remain with the Company.

  • (f) Currency fluctuations: Currency fluctuations may affect the Company’s capital costs that the Company incurs in its operations.

  • (g) Business risks: There are risks inherent in doing business, such as unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, trade barriers, longer payment cycles, problems in collecting accounts receivable, network and infrastructure issues and potentially adverse tax consequences, any of which could adversely impact on the success of the Company’s operations.

  • (h) Future capital needs: Further funding may be required to advance the business objectives of the Company or for working capital purposes. There is a risk that despite efforts from the Company and its manager, expansion efforts will fail, which will adversely affect the Company’s growth and profitability. Moreover, there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. Any inability to

27

05) Risk factors

obtain funding may adversely affect the financial condition of the Company and consequently, the value of its Shares.

  • (i) Regulatory risk and government policy: Changes in relevant taxation, interest rates and other legal, legislative and administrative regimes and government policies in Australia, may have an adverse effect on the assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and the market price of its securities.

  • (j) Share market conditions: The price of the Company’s Shares will be influenced by international and domestic factors which may cause the market price of the securities to fall and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities. Shareholders should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

Foreign jurisdictions

29

This Offer Booklet does not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer. No action has been taken to register or qualify the New Shares or otherwise permit the public offering of the New Shares in any jurisdiction outside of Australia or New Zealand.

Making your BPAY® payment or application will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation by you that there has been no breach of any such laws.

The distribution of this Offer Booklet (including an electronic copy) outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law. If you come into possession of this Offer Booklet, you should observe such restrictions. Any noncompliance with these restrictions may contravene applicable securities laws.

Due to legal restrictions, nominees and custodians may not send copies of this Offer Booklet or any material relating to the Entitlement Offer or accept the Entitlement Offer in relation to any person in any other jurisdiction outside Australia or New Zealand except to beneficial Shareholders who are institutional or professional investors in certain foreign countries as the Company may otherwise permit in compliance with applicable law.

6.1 New Zealand

The New Shares are not being offered to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of New Shares is being made in reliance on the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2021 (New Zealand).

This Offer Booklet has been prepared in compliance with Australian law and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand). This Offer Booklet is not a product disclosure statement or other disclosure document under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that a product disclosure statement or other disclosure document under New Zealand law is required to contain.

The taxation treatment of Australian financial products is not the same as for New Zealand financial products. The offer of New Shares may involve a currency exchange risk as they will be quoted on the ASX in Australian dollars. If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.

This Offer Booklet may not be distributed to any person, and the New Shares may not be offered or sold, in any country outside Australia and New Zealand except to the extent permitted below.

Taxation

31

Taxation is only one of the matters that must be considered when making a decision whether or not to participate in the Entitlement Offer and subscribe for New Shares.

Set out below is a summary of the Australian taxation implications of participating in the Entitlement Offer for Eligible Shareholders who are residents of Australia for taxation purposes and who hold their Shares (and any New Shares acquired on exercise of their Entitlements) as capital assets.

This section does not consider the Australian taxation consequences for particular types of Eligible Shareholders, including those who:

  • (a) hold their Shares as assets used in carrying on a business or who may carry on the business of share trading, banking or investment; or

  • (b) hold their Shares through an employee share scheme or whose Shares are held as revenue assets or trading stock; or

  • (c) may be subject to special taxation rules, such as insurance companies, partnerships, income tax exempt organisations, trusts (except where expressly stated), superannuation funds (except where expressly stated) or temporary residents; or

  • (d) are tax residents of any jurisdiction other than Australia (including New Zealand).

The summary below is based on the law in effect as at the date of this Offer Booklet, is general in nature and should not be relied on by Eligible Shareholders as tax advice. Eligible Shareholders should seek specific advice applicable to their own particular circumstances from their own financial or tax advisers.

7.1 Australian income tax

Issue of Entitlements

Subject to the qualifications noted above and assuming that the Eligible Shareholder continues to hold their Shares until the issue of the Entitlements, the issue of the Entitlements will not, of itself, result in any amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible Shareholder on the basis that the Entitlements satisfy the requirements in section 59-40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) and will therefore be treated as non-assessable non-exempt income of the Eligible Shareholder.

Exercise of Entitlements and cost base of New Shares

Eligible Shareholders who exercise their Entitlements and subscribe for New Shares will acquire those Shares with a cost base and reduced cost base for CGT purposes equal to the Issue Price payable by them for those shares plus any non-deductible incidental costs they incur in acquiring them. Eligible Shareholders will not make any capital gain or loss, or derive assessable income, from exercising the Entitlements or subscribing for the New Shares.

Lapse of Entitlements

On the basis that no proceeds will be received by Eligible Shareholders who allow their Entitlements to lapse, no income tax consequences should arise for those Eligible Shareholders.

7.2 New Shares

Taxation of income for Eligible Shareholders

Eligible Shareholders who exercise their Entitlements will acquire New Shares. Any future dividends or other distributions made in respect of those New Shares will be subject to the same taxation treatment as dividends or other distributions made on any other Shares held in the same circumstances.

For Eligible Shareholders to be eligible for a tax offset in relation to any franking credits attached to a dividend paid by the Company on the New Shares, they will need to hold the New Shares at risk for at least 45 days, not counting the day of acquisition or disposal (referred to as the holding period rule). The holding period rule generally only needs to be satisfied once for the New Shares and will begin to apply (in respect of the New Shares) the day after the day on which the Eligible Shareholder acquires the New Shares. This rule does not apply if the Eligible Shareholder is an individual whose total franking credit entitlement for the year of income in which the dividend is received does not exceed $5,000.

Taxation of disposals for Eligible Shareholders

The disposal of New Shares will give rise to a CGT event for Eligible Shareholders. Eligible Shareholders may make a capital gain or capital loss, depending on whether the capital proceeds of that disposal are more than the cost base or less than the reduced cost base of the New Shares. The cost base and reduced cost base will include the Issue Price payable by Eligible Shareholders for those shares plus any non-deductible incidental costs they incur in acquiring and disposing of the New Shares.

32 WAM Active Entitlement Offer

New Shares will be treated for the purposes of the CGT rules as having been acquired when the Eligible Shareholder exercised the Entitlement to subscribe for them. In order to benefit from the CGT discount that may be available to individuals, trusts and complying superannuation funds in respect of a disposal of the New Shares, the New Shares must have been held for at least 12 months before the disposal of the New Shares (calculated by excluding the date of acquisition and the date of disposal). The CGT discount for individuals and trusts is 50%. The CGT discount for complying superannuation funds is 33.33%. A company is not entitled to the CGT discount.

Capital losses may be offset against other capital gains in the same income year or, subject to the relevant loss recoupment rules, carried forward and offset against future capital gains. The trust loss provisions do not apply to capital losses.

Taxation of a return of capital by the Company

7.3 Goods and services tax and stamp duty

No Australian GST or stamp duty is payable in respect of the issue or exercise of the Entitlement Offer, nor in respect of the acquisition of New Shares under the Entitlement Offer as set out in this Offer Booklet. Eligible Shareholders may be charged GST on costs (such as third party brokerage or advisor costs) in respect of the issue or exercise of the Entitlement Offer or the acquisition of New Shares, however may not be entitled to claim full input tax credits for the GST included in such costs. Eligible Shareholders should obtain independent advice in relation to the impact of GST on their individual circumstances.

Information availability Eligible Shareholders in Australia or New Zealand can obtain a copy of this information during the period of the Entitlement Offer by contacting the Company’s Registry, Boardroom Pty Limited on 1300 420 372 (in Australia) or +61 2 8023 5472 (International). A replacement Entitlement and Acceptance Form can be requested by calling the Share Registry.

Where a return of capital is made by the Company, the cost base and reduced cost base of the Eligible Shareholder's New Shares for CGT purposes will be reduced by the amount of the return of capital. Any excess returned over the cost base may trigger a capital gain. In some circumstances, where the Eligible Shareholder disposes of their New Shares in the period between becoming entitled to the return of capital and its actual payment, the Eligible Shareholder will generally make a capital gain equal to the amount of the return of capital in addition to any capital gain that might arise on the disposal of the New Shares. The amount returned may also include a dividend component, or be deemed under taxation law to include a dividend component, which will be subject to tax as set out above.

Additional Information

34 WAM Active Entitlement Offer

8.1 Rights of the Company

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company reserves the right (in its absolute sole discretion) to reduce the number of Entitlements or New Shares allocated to Eligible Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders, if their claims prove to be overstated or if they (or their nominees/ custodians) fail to provide information to substantiate their claims.

8.2 Responsibility for this Offer Booklet

This Offer Booklet (including the enclosed ASX Announcement and attached Entitlement and Acceptance Form) has been prepared by WAM Active Limited. No party other than WAM Active Limited has authorised or caused the issue of this Offer Booklet, or takes any responsibility for, or makes or gives any statements, representations or undertakings in, this Offer Booklet.

8.3 Date of this Offer Booklet

This Offer Booklet is dated Friday 6 February 2026. Subject to the following paragraph, statements in this Offer Booklet are made only as at the date of this Offer Booklet unless otherwise stated and the information in this Offer Booklet remains subject to change without notice. The Company is not responsible for updating this Offer Booklet.

The ASX Announcement set out at Section 4 is current as at the date on which it was released. There may be additional announcements that are made by the Company (including after the date of this Offer Booklet) that may be relevant to your consideration of whether to take up your Entitlement. Therefore, it is prudent that you check whether any further announcements have been made by the Company before submitting an Application.

8.4 Allotment, quotation and trading

The Company is applying to ASX for the official quotation of the New Shares in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. Subject to approval being granted by ASX, it is expected that normal trading of New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will commence on or about Monday 2 March 2026.

Application monies will be held by the Company on trust for Applicants until the New Shares are allotted. No interest will be paid on the Application monies, and any interest earned on the Application monies will be for the benefit of the Company and will be retained by the Company irrespective of whether the New Shares are issued.

It is the responsibility of the Applicants to determine the number of New Shares allotted and issued to them prior to trading in such Shares. The sale by an Applicant of New Shares prior to receiving their holding statement is at the Applicant’s own risk.

8.5 Reconciliation

In any entitlement offer, investors may believe that they own more shares on the Record Date than they ultimately do. This may result in the need for reconciliation to ensure that all Eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement.

The Company may need to issue a small quantity of additional Shares to ensure all Eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their appropriate allocation of New Shares. The price at which these Shares would be issued, if required, is the same as the Issue Price. The Company reserves the right (in its sole discretion) to reduce the number of Entitlements or New Shares allocated to Eligible Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders, if their claims are overstated, or if they (or their nominees/custodians) fail to provide information to substantiate their claims.

8.6 Ranking of New Shares

New Shares (including any Additional New Shares, Shortfall Offer Shares and Placement Shares) issued under the Entitlement Offer and Placement will rank equally with existing Shares on the date of their issue.

The rights attaching to the New Shares are set out in the Company’s constitution and are regulated by the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and general law.

8.7 Rounding of Entitlements

Where fractions arise in the calculation of an Entitlement, they will be rounded up to the nearest number of New Shares.

8.8 Continuous disclosure

The Company is a “disclosing entity” under the Corporations Act and is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, including the preparation of annual reports and half year reports.

The Company is required to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the stock markets conducted by ASX. In particular, the Company has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to notify ASX immediately of any information of which it is or becomes aware which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s Shares. That information is available to the public from ASX and can be accessed at www.asx.com.au.

Some documents are required to be lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company. These documents may be obtained from, or inspected at, an ASIC office.

35 WAM Active Entitlement Offer

08) Additional Information

8.9 Withdrawal

The Company reserves the right to withdraw all or part of the Entitlement Offer at any time, subject to applicable laws. If the Company exercises this right, it will refund Application monies in relation to New Shares not already issued in accordance with the Corporations Act without the payment of interest.

8.10 Effect on capital structure

Assuming that the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed and all New Shares (including any Additional Shares) are issued and allotted, the Company’s issued share capital will increase from 77,171,378 Shares to approximately 147,911,806 Shares (subject to rounding).

8.11 Potential effect on control

The potential effect the Entitlement Offer will have on the control of the Company, and the consequences of that effect, will depend on a number of factors, including investor demand. However, given the structure of the Entitlement Offer (2 New Shares for every 3 existing Shares held on the Record Date), the Entitlement Offer may have a material effect on the dilution and/or control of the Company. The risks associated with dilution and/or control are also set out in Section 5 of this Offer Booklet.

It is not anticipated that the Entitlement Offer will have a significant effect on the control of the Company, particularly in light of the strong demand received during the bookbuild that was conducted following the close of trading on the ASX on 29 January 2026 in relation to the Shortfall Offer, as announced on the ASX on 30 January 2026 .

Shareholders’ holdings in the Company may also be diluted as a result of the Placement, which will utilise the full issuance capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and as

approved by shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1A. Given the structure of the Entitlement Offer as a pro-rata issue with the Placement expected to be issued on the same date as any New Shares to be issued under the Shortfall Offer, WAM Active does not expect that the Placement will have a material effect on the control of the Company.

The potential effect on control from the Entitlement Offer is summarised below:

  • (a) if all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, then the Entitlement Offer will have no significant effect on the control of the Company;

  • (b) if some Eligible Shareholders do not take up all of their Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, then the interests of those Eligible Shareholders in the Company will be diluted;

  • (c) Eligible Shareholders that apply for Additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility may increase their interests beyond their Entitlement (subject to the Corporations Act). This could result in the dilution of holdings of those who failed to accept their Entitlements in full;

  • (d) the proportional interests of Shareholders of the Company who are not Eligible Shareholders will be diluted because such Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer; and

  • (e) sophisticated Shareholders that apply for Shortfall Offer Shares under the Shortfall Offer or for Placement Shares under the Placement could result in the dilution of holdings of those who failed to accept their Entitlements in full and those who failed to apply for Additional New Shares under the Top-Up Facility.

There are currently no substantial Shareholders on the Company’s register.
