TO: ASX Company Announcements Office FROM: Wilson Asset Management (International) Pty Limited DATE: 30 September 2019 NO OF PAGES: 7 (including this page)

In accordance with Section 671B of the Corporations Act 2001, please find following Form 604 - Notice of change of interests of substantial holder in relation to Yowie Group Limited (YOW).

The primary purpose of this notice is to disclose certain indirect relevant interests and voting powers that Wilson Asset Management (International) Pty Limited (WAMI) and members of the Wilson Asset Management Group are deemed to hold in YOW pursuant to the Corporations Act.

As detailed in the notice, WAMI and members of the Wilson Asset Management Group are deemed to hold an indirect deemed relevant interest in YOW shares held by each of KBC and HHY. The Corporations Act deems these indirect deemed relevant interests to exist primarily as a result of the members of the Wilson Asset Management Group holding (in aggregate) voting power in excess of 20% in each of KBC and HHY.

The Wilson Asset Management Group does not beneficially own, and exerts no control or influence over, the YOW shares in which WAMI and members of the Wilson Asset Management Group are determined to hold indirect deemed relevant interests in, including the YOW shares vested in the Commonwealth on trust for WAMI under the terms of the Orders of the Takeovers Panel dated 26 April 2019. Under the Orders, ASIC is empowered to sell the securities and account to WAMI for the proceeds of the sale.

The Wilson Asset Management Group’s holding in both HHY and KBC, whilst in excess of 20% in each case, lacks the requisite ability to affect the direction or control of either entity, as evidenced by historical events, meetings and voting with respect to the two entities. WAMI and members of the Wilson Asset Management Group are not able to affect the direction or control of KBC and HHY and have no influence or control over KBC’s or HHY’s underlying investments, including YOW. The attached notice provides further details in this regard.

Level 26, Governor Phillip Tower, 1 Farrer Place, Sydney NSW 2000 | GPO Box 4658 Sydney NSW 2001 | Phone 02 9247 6755 | Fax 02 9247 6855 | [email protected] | www.wilsonassetmanagement.com.au
