As detailed in the enclosed notice, members of the Wilson Asset Management Group are determined to hold an indirect deemed relevant interest in YOW shares held by Keybridge Capital Limited ( KBC ) and HHY Fund ( HHY ). The Corporations Act determine 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.

Members of the Wilson Asset Management Group are not able to affect the direction or control of KBC or 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.
