TO: ASX Company Announcements Office FROM: Wilson Asset Management Group DATE: 17 February 2022 NO OF PAGES: 7 (including this page)

In accordance with Section 671B of the Corporations Act 2001, please find following Form 604 - Notice of initial substantial holder in relation to WAM Active Limited ( WAA ).

The primary purpose of this notice is to disclose certain indirect relevant interests and voting powers that members of the Wilson Asset Management Group are deemed to hold in WAA pursuant to the Corporations Act.

As detailed in the notice, the Wilson Asset Management Group are deemed to hold an indirect deemed relevant interest in WAA shares held by each of Keybridge Capital Limited (KBC) and HHY Fund (HHY). The Corporations Act deems these indirect deemed relevant interests to exist primarily as a result 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 the WAA shares in which its members are deemed to hold a relevant interests in.

The Wilson Asset Management Group’s holding in KBC, whilst in excess of 20% in each case, lacks the requisite ability to affect the direction or control of KBC, as evidenced by historical events, meetings and voting with respect to the two entities. Members of the Wilson Asset Management Group have no influence or control over KBC’s underlying investments, including WAA. The attached notice provides further details in this regard.
