Secretary.

Resolutions

- Re election of Director

Resolution 1 – Re-election of Mr Adoram Ga’ash as Director

Background

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of article 53.4 of the Articles of Association and Listing Rule 14.5 for the re-election of Mr Adoram Ga’ash as a Director.

Article 53.4 of the Articles of Association requires that at least one Director, excluding the Managing Director, must stand for election or re-election at each Annual General Meeting.

Mr Ga’ash will retire by rotation at this Meeting.

Mr Ga’ash was appointed as a Director on 10 February 2016 and was re-elected at the 2022 Annual General Meeting held on 16 September 2022. Mr Ga’ash has been serving as the Non-Executive Chairman of the Company.

Under this Resolution, Mr Ga’ash has elected to retire by rotation, and being eligible, seeks reelection as a Director of the Company at this AGM.

This Resolution is an Ordinary Resolution.

Director background

Mr Ga’ash has a track record of 20 years as a venture capitalist and in startups leadership. Prior to founding Moneta VC, Mr Ga’ash founded StageOne VC which invested in approximately 20 start-ups and resulted in seven exits. Later in his career, Mr Ga’ash joined Silicon Valley based investment bank, GrowthPoint Technology Partners, to head up the Israeli practice and in this role, he has assisted start-ups with exploring their exit strategy with global companies. Earlier in his career, Mr Ga’ash founded Radwiz that was subsequently acquired by a Silicon Valley company.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors (excluding Adoram Ga’ash) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of this Resolution.

Listing Rule 7.1A (Additional 10% Capacity)

Resolution 2 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Approval

Background

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A by way of a Special Resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

Listing Rule 7.1A

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

Way 2 Vat Ltd | 2024 Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum

11

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to add an additional 10% capacity.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million).

As of the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately A$8.7 million and therefore is an eligible entity. If at the time of the Meeting the Company is no longer an eligible entity this Resolution will be withdrawn.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

This Resolution is a Special Resolution. For a Special Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of the votes validly cast on the resolution by Shareholders (by number of ordinary shares) must be in favour of this Resolution.

Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.

Period for which the approval will be valid

An approval under this Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:

  • (a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • (b) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; and

  • (c) the time and date on which Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

Minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A

Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be an existing quoted class of the Company’s Equity Securities and issued for cash consideration.

The issue price per Equity Security must not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of the Equity Securities in that class, calculated over 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; and

  • (b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used

As noted above, any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed use of funds at the time of issue.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, if Shareholders approve this Resolution. However, if Shareholders approved this Resolution and the Company did

Way 2 Vat Ltd | 2024 Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum

12

raise funds from the issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company considers that the funds may be used for the following purposes:

  • (a) fund the acceleration of sales execution and revenue growth in the Company’s key product suites of VAT reclaim for travel expenses and accounts payable for enterprise and small-tomedium enterprise clients;

  • (b) fund the pathway to profitability, in particular, to expand the AI driven automated auditing product, ‘AI-AP Compliance’ for use in 80 countries;

  • (c) support investment in further development and maintenance of the Company’s “in market” proprietary AI technologies; and

  • (d) fund general working capital.

If this Resolution is approved, and the Company issues Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted.

There is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date;

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Securityholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in rule 7.1A.2:

Allocation policy for issues under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company’s allocation policy and the identity of the allottees of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will depend on a number of factors, including:

  • (a) the Company’s intentions in relation to the possible issue of Equity Securities (for cash consideration) during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period;

  • (b) the structure and timeframe of the capital raising opportunities available to the Company and any alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company (such as a pro rata offer or an offer under a share purchase plan);

  • (c) the potential effect on the control of the Company;

  • (d) the Company’s financial position and the likely future capital requirements; and

  • (e) advice from the Company’s corporate or financial advisors.

Based on the Company’s historical cashflow reports and capital raising activities in the past 12 months, the Company considers that it may raise funds during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, although this cannot be guaranteed. As of the date of this Notice, no specific intention to issue Equity Securities in relation to any parties, investors or existing Securityholders have been formed. In addition, no intentions have been formed in relation to the possible number of issues, or the time frame in which the issues could be made. Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Board reserves the right to determine at the time of any issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the allocation policy that the Company will adopt for that issue.

If and when the determination is made to proceed with an issue of Equity Securities during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, details regarding the allottees and purposes of issue will be disclosed pursuant to the Company’s obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4.

Offers made under Listing Rule 7.1A may be made to parties (excluding any related parties) including professional and sophisticated investors, existing Shareholders of the Company, clients of Australian Financial Service Licence holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to make an offer of Equity Securities.

- Issue of Earn Out Shares

Resolution 3 – Approval of Issue of Earn-Out Shares

Way 2 Vat Ltd | 2024 Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum

15

Background – Acquisition

On 21 September 2022, the Company announced that it had completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of Spanish company, DevoluIVA S.L.U. ( DevoluIVA ) ( Acquisition ).

On 20 September 2022, under the terms of the agreement ( Agreement ), and upon shareholders’ approval at the 2022 Annual General Meeting (held on 16 September 2022), the Company issued 11,704,463 fully paid ordinary shares to Voxel Media, S.L. (and /or its nominees) ( Voxel ) which was equivalent in value to €1,000,000, based on a deemed issue price of A$0.125 per share and an average EUR/AUD exchange rate published by the RBA 30 days prior to completion ( Consideration Shares ). Refer to the Company's announcement dated 29 July 2022 for further details regarding DevoluIVA and the Acquisition.

The material terms of the Agreement are detailed in Annexure 1 of this Notice.

Pursuant to the Agreement and subject to Shareholder approval, Voxel is entitled to receive a total of three earn-out payments in the form of Way2Vat Shares ( Earn-Out Shares ) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

At the General Meeting held on 19 September 2023, the Company received Shareholder approval to issue the First Earn-Out Shares to Voxel following which the Company issued 6,715,654 Shares to Voxel on 20 September 2023.

The Agreement provides that Voxel is entitled to receive the remaining earn-out payments which will accrue as follows:

  • Second Earn-Out: on the date that is 24 months after completion of the Acquisition ( Second Earn-Out Date ), Voxel will be entitled to receive such number of Way2VAT shares equivalent in value to the greater of:

  • €500,000; or

  • the total of 1.5 times of the difference between DevoluIVA's 2023 annual revenues derived from its VAT recovery related activity ( 2023R ) less 2022R.

For the purpose of calculating the number of shares for the Second Earn-Out, the Company will utilise a deemed issue price of A$0.125 multiplied by the average 30-day EUR/AUD exchange rate prior to the Second Earn-Out Date.

  • Third Earn-Out: on the date that is 36 months after completion of the Acquisition ( Third Earn-Out Date ), Voxel will be entitled to receive such number of Way2VAT Shares equivalent in value to the lesser of:

  • €500,000 divided by a deemed issue price of A$0.125 (multiplied by the average 30-day EUR/AUD exchange rate prior to the Third Earn-Out Date); or

  • o the total of:

    • the difference between DevoluIVA's 2024 annual revenues derived from its VAT recovery related activity ( 2024R ) less 2023R divided by a deemed issue price of A$0.125 (multiplied by the average 30-day EUR/AUD exchange rate prior to the Third Earn-Out Date); and

    • 2024R less 2023R divided by two times the deemed issue price of A$0.125 (multiplied by the average 30-day EUR/AUD exchange rate prior to the Third Earn-Out Date).

If the 2024R is equal or lower than 2023R, the Third Earn-Out will not be paid to Voxel.

The issue of the Earn-Out Shares under the Agreement is subject to Shareholder approval and the Company will obtain Shareholder approval at each earn-out stage (as applicable) prior to each Earn-Out Date . If shareholder approval is not obtained for the Second Earn-Out and/or Third EarnOut or the Company does not issue the Earn-Out Shares to Voxel within 90 days from the applicable Earn-Out Date (for whatever reason), the Company will pay to Voxel the equivalent amount of that earn-out in cash.

Way 2 Vat Ltd | 2024 Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum

16

The Acquisition was completed on 21 September 2022, therefore the Second Earn-Out Date triggers on 21 September 2024. DevoluIVA’s Annual Revenues for 2023, was less than €1,000,000, therefore the Company will issue Voxel the number of shares reflecting the value of €500,000.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue such number of Shares equivalent in value to €500,000, based on deemed issue price of A$0.125 per Share multiplied by the average 30-day EUR/AUD exchange rate prior to the Second Earn-Out Date, to Voxel pursuant to the Acquisition.

A summary of the material terms of the Agreement is detailed in Annexure 1.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of this Resolution.

Listing Rule 7.1

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the Company is entitled to issue or agree to issue Equity Securities up to 15% of its issued share capital through placements during any 12-month period, subject to specific restrictions, without needing prior Shareholder approval.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to issue the Earn-Out Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares. In addition, the issue of the Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not issue the Earn-Out Shares pursuant to the Second Earn-Out and the Company will be required to pay to Voxel the equivalent amount of that Second Earn-Out in cash.

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

The following information must be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval:

  • (i) the Earn-Out Shares will be issued to Voxel Media, S.L. (and/or its nominee(s)) who is the counterparty to the Agreement;

  • (ii) the maximum number of Equity Securities that the Company intends to issue under this Resolution is such number of Shares equivalent in value to €500,000, based on a deemed issue price of A$0.125 per Share multiplied by the average 30-day EUR/AUD exchange rate prior to the Second Earn-Out Date;

  • (iii) the Earn-Out Shares to be issued pursuant to this Resolution 3 are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

  • (iv) the Earn-Out Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (v) the Earn-Out Shares will be issued as consideration pursuant to the Second Earn-Out provision of the Acquisition. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of Earn-Out Shares pursuant to Resolution 3;

  • (vi) a summary of the material terms of the Agreement is detailed in Annexure 1; and

17

(vii) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 3.

Potential Dilution

The exact number of Earn-Out Shares to be issued to Voxel will depend on the exchange rate.

As the number of Earn-Out Shares to be issued is not known at the date of this Notice, and will not be known as at the date of the Meeting, below are worked examples of the number of Earn-Out Shares that may be issued under this Resolution, based on a range of EUR/AUD exchange rates between A$1.60 to A$1.75 for each A$1. The figures are subject to rounding.

Exchange rate Maximum
number of
Shares

$1.75 7,000,000 873,981,136 880,981,136 %0.79

The above table is for illustrative purposes only. The actual exchange rate for the Earn-Out Shares may differ and this may result in the maximum number of Earn-Out Shares to be issued and the dilutive percentage to also differ. The example table assumes that no existing Options are exercised or converted or securities issued.

Directors Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Issue of Shares to certain Directors

Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive) – Approval of Issue of Shares to

Certain Directors

Background

The Company is proposing to issue up to an aggregate of 10,366,363 Shares ( Remuneration Shares ), subject to Shareholder approval, under the Employee Equity Incentive Plan ( Plan ) to Messrs Ga'ash, Buckingham and Edgley (together, the Elected Directors ) who have elected to receive Shares in lieu of a proportion of Director fees and executive remuneration for the period from September 2022 to July 2024.

Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval for the issue of Remuneration Shares to the Elected Directors as follows:

  • (a) A$47,030 worth of Shares to Mr Adoram Ga’ash, a Director (Resolution 4);

  • (b) A$56,000 worth of Shares to Mr David Buckingham a Director (Resolution 5); and

  • (c) A$11,000 worth of Shares to Mr Rob Edgley a Director (Resolution 6),

(together, the Remuneration Shares )

The Company considers the issue of the Remuneration Shares to be a cost effective and efficient method to remunerate the Directors and employees and preserve the Company’s cash reserves.

Listing Rule 10.14

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders. A person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 includes:

Way 2 Vat Ltd | 2024 Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum

18

  • (a) a director of the Company;

  • (b) an Associate of a director of the Company; and

  • (c) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders.

As each of the persons in Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive) are Directors of the Company, the proposed issue of the Remuneration Shares constitutes the acquisition of securities under an employee inventive scheme for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 and therefore, requires Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Remuneration Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14, in accordance with Listing Rule 10.12 (exception 8), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 10.11 to issue the Remuneration Shares to Messrs Ga'ash, Buckingham and Edgley (and/or their respective nominee(s)). Moreover, approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 will not be required as approval will be obtained under Listing Rule 10.14, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14). Accordingly, the issue of the Remuneration Shares will not be included in calculating the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will issue the Remuneration Shares to Mr Ga'ash (and/or his nominee(s)).

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will issue the Remuneration Shares to Mr Buckingham (and/or his nominee(s)).

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will issue the Remuneration Shares to Mr Edgley (and/or his nominee(s)).

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Shares to Mr Ga'ash and the Company will be required to pay A$47,030 in cash to Mr Ga'ash.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Shares to Mr Buckingham and the Company will be required to pay A$56,000 in cash to Mr Buckingham.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Shares to Mr Edgley and the Company will be required to pay A$11,000 in cash to Mr Edgley.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15

The following information in relation to the issue of the Remuneration Shares to Directors of the Company is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15:

  • (a) The Remuneration Shares will be issued to the related parties as follows:

  • (i) up to 4,275,454 Shares to Adoram Ga’ash (and/or his nominee(s)) (Resolution 4);

  • (ii) up to 5,090,909 Shares to David Buckingham (and/or his nominee(s)) (Resolution 5); and

  • (iii) up to 1,000,000 Shares to Rob Edgley (and/or his nominee(s)) (Resolution 6).

  • (b) Each of the persons in Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive) is a Director.

  • (c) The actual number of Shares to be issued to each Elected Director will be determined by dividing the amount of directors’ fees elected to be received in Shares for that particular month by the monthly VWAP for Shares for that month (calculated from the first Trading Day until ending on the last Trading Day of that month) less a discount of 10%, subject to a floor price of $0.011 per Share. Any fractions of Remuneration Shares resulting from the calculation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Under the terms of the Agreement, at completion, the Company will issue Voxel such number of Shares equivalent in value to €1,000,000, based on a deemed issue price of A$0.125 per Share and an average EUR/AUD exchange rate published by the RBA 30 days prior to completion of the Acquisition ( Consideration Shares ).

The Agreement also provides that Voxel will be entitled to receive earn-out payments which will accrue as follows:

  • First Earn-Out: on the date that is 12 months after completion of the Acquisition ( First Earn-Out Date ), Voxel will be entitled to receive such number of Shares equivalent in value to the greater of:
