Mark Licciardo Company Secretary Dated 14 January 2019

Weebit Nano Limited (ACN 146 455 576) Explanatory Memorandum

This Explanatory Memorandum sets out further information regarding the proposed items of business to be considered by Shareholders of Weebit Nano Ltd ( Company ) at the General Meeting to be held commencing at 3:00pm on Wednesday 13 February 2019 at the office of King & Wood Mallesons at Level 61, Governor Phillip Tower, 1 Farrer Place, Sydney NSW 2000.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum before determining whether or not to support the resolutions.

Resolution 1: Subsequent approval of issue of ordinary Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 – issue of ordinary shares under Share Purchase Plan (ratifying additional 10% placement capacity)

Background

In November 2018, the Company completed a Share Purchase Plan of 43,475,604 Shares ( SPP Shares ) at a price of $0.035 per share ( SPP ). The SPP Shares were issued to shareholders on 2 November 2018. The SPP Shares rank equally with existing ordinary shares on issue.

The SPP Booklet containing information regarding the SPP was lodged with the ASX on 2 October 2018. All 43,475,604 SPP Shares were issued within the 15% placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

(a) Why is the Company seeking Shareholder approval?

The Company wanted to give existing shareholders the ability to subscribe for shares under the SPP on similar terms to the Placement announced on 28 September 2018. ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows 15% of capital to be issued in any 12 month period (15% placement capacity). Exception 15 to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 allows a Company to issue shares under a Share Purchase Plan and not eat into it 15% placement capacity, as long as certain conditions are met. One of those conditions is that the issue price of securities is at least 80% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in that class, calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded, either before the day on which the issue was announced or before the day on which the issue was made. The issue price of the SPP Shares was 3.5 cents which was below 80% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in that class, calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded before the day on which the SPP was announced. Accordingly Exception 15 of Listing Rule 7.2 does not apply to the issue of SPP Shares and Shareholder approval is required.

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, Shareholder approval can be obtained for an issue of securities after the event for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of Shareholders approving this Resolution 1 will be to ‘refresh’ the Company’s ability to issue securities within the 15% placement capacity without requiring Shareholder approval during the next 12 months.

As advised in the Company’s ASX announcement on 1 November 2018, the total amount raised from the Placement and the SPP will be used to facilitate the progress of Weebit Nano’s silicon oxide (SiOx) ReRAM technology to the next stage of productisation, including scaling down to 28nm, further progressing talks with potential partners, and initiating work with production fabs.

Refreshing the Company’s 15% placement capacity will maintain greater flexibility to raise funds up to the 15% limit to meet future needs during the next twelve months, without the costs and delay of convening a general meeting of the Company. The requirement to obtain Shareholder approval for any future issue of equity securities, before the issue, could limit the Company’s ability to take advantage of future market opportunities that may arise or to make further issues for further development of its technology or other purposes as required.

Legal requirements

Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed at a general meeting, covert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.

Summary of Proposal

The Directors consider that it is appropriate at this point in time to rationalise the number of shares the Company will have on issue by consolidating the share capital of the Company on a 25 for 1 basis.

The proposed share consolidation will:

  • (a) Ensure that each shareholder’s proportionate interest in the Company remains unchanged, subject to rounding up of fractional entitlements to the next whole number of Shares; and

  • (b) Reduce the number of Shares from 1,591,216,206 to approximately 63,648,648 representing a 96% reduction in the number of Shares on issue thereby making the number of Shares on issue more manageable.

The Board considers that the consolidation of its share capital is important and necessary as it continues to progress towards productisation of its technology. The Company has a large number of shares on issue due to historical equity-based capital raisings that have provided the working capital to continue with the Company’s technology development. The Company believes the consolidation will provide the best platform for continued growth, and a capital structure that is more in line with the Company’s size and maturity. In addition, the Company has received advice that a higher share price level is more attractive to institutional investors.

If Resolution 2 is approved by Shareholders and the consolidation of capital proceeds, the number of Shares on issue will be 63,648,648 subject to rounding discussed below.

Information required by Listing Rule 7.20

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.20, Shareholders are provided with the following information:

Effect of consolidation The effect of consolidation will be to reduce the number of Shares from
1,591,216,206 to approximately 63,648,648 as well as the
Performance Rights and Options (as set out below).
The consolidation is not a reduction in capital and therefore there
should be no impact on the value of individual shareholdings as a
result of the consolidation, because each shareholder will still hold the
same percentage interest in the Company as they held immediately
before the consolidation.
As Weebit Nano is listed on ASX, the market price of Shares is of
course impacted by a number of factors, meaning that, over time, the
share price may increase or decrease, and Directors can give no
guarantees concerning the Share price.
Fractional entitlements The Directors have decided that where a holder’s holding of Shares,
Performance Rights or Options is not divisible by 25, and a fractional
holding is left following the consolidation, that holding will be rounded
up to the nearest whole number.
Treatment of
convertible securities
As required by Listing Rule 7.22.1, the number of Options will be
divided by 25, resulting in 1,506,091 Performance Rights and
7,427,096 Options on issue subject to rounding discussed above. The
Performance Rights have a nil exercise price. The exercise price for
the respective Options will be multiplied by 25, resulting in the following
exercise prices
2,000,000 Options - Exercise price $1.5625, expiry 1 Aug 2019

4

1,977,096 Options – Exercise price $0.75, expiry 30 June 2020 1,520,000 Options – Exercise price $0.43875, expiry 1 October 2027 180,000 Options - Exercise price $1.3125, expiry 12 October 2022 180,000 Options - Exercise price $1.53125, expiry 12 October 2022 160,000 Options - Exercise Price $0.15650, expiry 15 February 2028 160,000 Options - Exercise Price $0.14450, expiry 1 January 2028 160,000 Options - Exercise Price $1.2725, expiry 5 March 2028 800,000 Options - Exercise Price $0.8475, expiry 16 October 2028 290,000 Options - Exercise Price $1.7175, expiry 29 January 2028 All other terms and conditions of the Performance Rights and Options will remain the same.

Current holding statements for shares in the Company will be replaced by new holding statements showing the number of Shares you hold post the consolidation.

The Corporations Act allows a consolidation of share capital provided shareholders agree by ordinary resolution.
