Wide Open Agriculture Limited Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 5

WIDE OPEN AGRICULTURE LIMITED ACN 604 913 822

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the Notice.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 - RATIFICATION OF PLACEMENT OF SHARES UNDER LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

1.1 Background

As announced on 29 November 2021, the Company undertook a placement to institutional investors being clients of Euroz Hartleys Limited ("Euroz Hartleys") and Cannacord Genuity (Australia) Limited ("Cannacord") to raise $20,000,000 before costs by the issue of 26,666,667 Shares at 75 cents per Share ("Placement").

The net funds from the Placement are intended to be used to fund the design, build and operation of a proprietary facility to aim to create the world’s lowest carbon plant-based drinks, increase and accelerate the capability of the Company's plant-based protein facility, implement a marketing strategy to support online sales and domestic/international retail campaigns for Dirty Clean Food’s oat milk and new product lines in Australia and South-East Asia, for working capital and the costs of the Placement.

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.

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 increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

An "eligible entity" means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes and obtained approval at its 2021 annual general meeting to the additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The Company is therefore able to issue equity securities up to a combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval within the limits provided.

The Company undertook the Placement by relying on its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and part of its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A as the issue did not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1.

17,169,077 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's Listing Rule 7.1 capacity and are the subject of Resolution 1. 9,497,590 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's Listing Rule 7.1A capacity, which capacity was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 17 November 2021.

Wide Open Agriculture Limited Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 6

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A (as the case may be) and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A.

To this end, Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the 17,169,077 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the 17,169,077 Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the 9,497,590 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A until 16 November 2022.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the 9,497,590 Shares will be included in calculating the Company's additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A until 16 November 2022.

  • 1.2 Listing Rule 7.5

For Shareholders to approve the issue of the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4, the following information is provided to Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) The securities were issued to institutional investors (including sophisticated and professional investors) exempt from or outside the disclosure requirements under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act. Euroz Hartleys and Cannacord acted as Joint Lead Managers and Bookrunners to the Placement. None of the subscribers is a related party of the Company.

  • (b) 26,666,667 Shares were issued on the following basis:

  • (i) 17,169,077 Shares were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and

  • (ii) 9,497,590 Shares were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2).

  • (c) The Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and rank equally with the Company’s current issued shares.

  • (d) The Shares were issued on 3 December 2021.

  • (e) The Shares were issued at 75 cents each.

  • (f) The purpose of the issue was to raise funds to be used as set out in Section 1.1 above.

Wide Open Agriculture Limited Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Page 7

  • (g) The Shares were issued under a lead manager placement agreement, the material term of which is Euroz Hartleys and Cannacord were engaged to act as Joint Lead Managers and Bookrunners to the Placement for a fee of 6% of the moneys raised and the issue of an aggregate of 1,000,000 Lead Manager Options (and for which Shareholder approval is sought under Resolution 3).

2. RESOLUTIONS 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE LEAD MANAGER OPTIONS

  • 2.1 Background

This Resolution is seeking approval under Listing Rule 7.1 to the issue of the Lead Manager Options.

Information about Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.1 above.

The issue of the Lead Manager Options does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

This Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the Lead Manager Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options. In addition, the issue 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 this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options without utilising a refreshed Listing Rule 7.1 capacity.

  • 2.2 Listing Rule 7.3

For Shareholders to approve the issue of the Lead Manager Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, the following information is provided to Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3:

  • (a) The Lead Manager Options will be issued to Euroz Hartleys and Cannacord or their nominees. Neither of these parties is a related party of the Company.

  • (b) The number of securities to issue is up to 600,000 Lead Manager Options to Euroz Hartleys and up to 400,000 Lead Manager Options to Cannacord.

  • (c) The Lead Manager Options will have an exercise price of 93.75 cents and an expiry date of 18 months from their date of issue. The full terms of the Lead Manager Options are set out in Schedule 1.

  • (d) The Lead Manager Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or a later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).

  • (e)

  • The Lead Manager Options will be issued for nil cash consideration.

  • (f) The purpose of the issue of the Lead Manager Options is it represents part of the fee payable to Euroz Harleys and Cannacord, who acted as Joint Lead Managers and Bookrunners to the Placement. No funds will be raised by the issue of the Lead Manager Options.

SCHEDULE 1

Terms of Lead Manager Options (Resolution 3)

The terms of the Lead Manager Options are:

  1. Each Option entitles the holder to one Share (fully paid ordinary share) upon exercise of the Option.

  2. The exercise price of the Options is 93.75 cents.

  3. The Options are exercisable at any time prior to 5.00 pm WST on the date 18 months after the date of issue of the Options (Expiry Date).

  4. The Options are freely transferable. The Options are not intended to be quoted.

  5. The Company will provide to each Option holder a notice that is to be completed when exercising the Options (Notice of Exercise). The Options may be exercised wholly or in part by completing the Notice of Exercise and delivering it together with payment to the secretary of the Company to be received any time prior to the Expiry Date.

  6. Upon the exercise of an Option and receipt of all relevant documents and payment, the holder will be issued a Share ranking equally with the then issued Shares.

  7. There will be no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and the holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital which may be offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. Thereby, the Optionholder has no rights to a change in the exercise price of the Option or a change to the number of underlying securities over which the Option can be exercised except in the event of a bonus issue. However, the Company will ensure that the Optionholder will be notified of a proposed issue after the issue is announced. This will give an Optionholder the opportunity to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  8. If there is a bonus issue (Bonus Issue) to Shareholders, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the Bonus Issue (Bonus Shares). The Bonus Shares must be paid up by the Company out of profits or reserves (as the case may be) in the same manner as was applied in the Bonus Issue, and upon issue will rank equally in all respects with the other Shares on issue as at the date of issue of the Bonus Shares.

  9. In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company prior to the Expiry Date, all rights of an Optionholder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Listing Rules.
