Company Announcements Office FROM: Wilson Asset Management Group DATE: 17 Apil 2024 NO OF PAGES: 7 (including this page)
The Wilson Asset Management Group does not own any direct shares in Yowie Group Limited (ASX: YOW). Members of the Wilson Asset Management Group are determined to hold an indirect deemed relevant interest in YOW shares held by Keybridge Capital Limited (ASX: KBC) and HHY Fund (HHY) as a result of the members of 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, Yowie Group Limited (ASX: YOW) shares in which members of the Wilson Asset Management Group are determined to hold an indirect deemed relevant interest in, in accordance with Section 671B of the Corporations Act 2001. 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.
As a result of this indirect deemed relevant interest, and in accordance with Section 671B of the Corporations Act 2001, please find enclosed a Form 604 - Notice of change of interest of substantial holder in relation to Yowie Group Limited (ASX: YOW). The Corporations Act requires the Wilson Asset Management Group to submit this form on the ASX despite the Wilson Asset Management Group not holding any direct shares in YOW. The primary purpose of this notice is to disclose certain indirect deemed relevant interests that members of the Wilson Asset Management Group are indirectly deemed to hold in YOW pursuant to the Corporations Act.
The Wilson Asset Management Group’s holding in both KBC and HHY, 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 of the two entities. 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.
