EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the requirements of the Company’s Constitution and the Corporations Act, the 2017 Annual Report will be tabled at the annual general meeting. Shareholders will have the opportunity of discussing the Annual Report and making comments and raising queries in relation to the Report.

There is no requirement for a formal resolution on this item.

Representatives from the Company’s auditors, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, will be present to take shareholders’ questions and comments about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report.

Annual Report Online

Shareholders who have not elected to receive a hard copy of the Annual Report can access the report on the company’s website at www.yowiegroup.com.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

Pursuant to section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2017 contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports on the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors and Key Management Personnel.

Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. Of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

If at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.

If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were more than 25%. Accordingly, the Company is required to put to shareholders at this annual general meeting a Spill Resolution proposing the calling of a Spill Meeting. A Spill Resolution has been included on the Agenda (Resolution 9).

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – TREVOR ALLEN

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in the case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has 2 Directors (excluding the Managing Director) and accordingly 1 must retire.

Trevor Allen, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

On his appointment, Mr Alfonso joined the Board as Managing Director. Accordingly, in accordance with clause 13.2 of the Constitution Mr Alfonso will not be subject to future retirement by rotation.

All the Directors, except for Mr Alfonso, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – LOUIS CARROLL

Mr Carroll has had a successful international career in CEO, senior executive management and Chair roles across a range of founder-backed, entrepreneurial organizations and multi-nationals.

Mr Carroll, with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Degree in English from the University of London, has had executive roles within Mars in Australia and the UK, and is a former General Manager of AFTA Travel Insurance. He established the TeleTech business in Australia which grew to become TeleTech Asia Pacific with revenues of more than A$200 million and more than 4,000 employees in six countries, under his leadership. A consummate entrepreneur, Mr Carroll’s successful start-up business ventures include rain water tank retailer, New Water, which he sold after quickly reaching A$10 million in revenue. He has served as a director of a number of organizations where he has been involved as an entrepreneur, and was a Director of Covermore through its IPO in 2013, becoming Chairman two years later and driving that Company’s successful sale this year to Zurich.

Mr Carroll is also a non-Executive Director of National Home Doctor Service, which now has more than 600 medical practitioners across Australia.

All the Directors, except for Mr Carroll, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – ISSUE OF EQUITY AWARDS TO DIRECTORS

6.1 Introduction

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the granting of

  • (a) 1,456,033 Service Rights to the Managing Director, Mr Humberto Alfonso, under the YOW Employee Incentive Plan ( “EIP” );

  • (b) 936,698 Performance Rights to the Managing Director, Mr Humberto Alfonso under the EIP;

  • (c) 815,217 Service Rights to the Non-Executive Chairman, Mr Louis Carroll, under the EIP; and

  • (d) 375,000 Service Rights to Non-Executive Director, Mr Trevor Allen, under the EIP,

as well as Shareholder approval for the pro rata vesting of the Performance Rights granted to Mr Alfonso in the event that Mr Alfonso ceases employment in certain circumstances.

6.2 Why Shareholder approval is being sought

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 states that a listed company must not permit a Director to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without Shareholder approval, by ordinary resolution. The purpose of Resolutions 5.1 to 5.4 is to have Shareholders approve the proposed grant of Service Rights and Performance Rights to the Company’s Managing Director, Mr Humberto Alfonso, the Non-Executive Chairman, Mr Louis Carroll and Non-Executive Director, Mr Trevor Allen pursuant to the Company’s employee share scheme, the EIP, which was approved by shareholders in general meeting on 23 November 2015.

In addition, the Company seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to section 200E of the Corporations Act for the pro rata vesting of the Performance Rights granted to Mr Alfonso in the event that Mr Alfonso ceases to be employed by the Company in limited circumstances, as specified in the terms of their invitations.

10

These circumstances include redundancy and death.

Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with their ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in the company if it is approved by shareholders under section 200E of the Corporations Act or an exemption applies. The term “benefit” may include the pro rata vesting of Performance Rights ( EIP Interests ) in the limited circumstances outlined above, where Mr Alfonso ceases to be employed by the Company. This pro rata vesting of Mr Alfonso’s EIP interests, in those circumstances, may amount to the giving of a termination benefit requiring Shareholder approval, and as such, approval is sought for these purposes.

The number of EIP Interests that may vest on cessation of Mr Alfonso’s employment can be calculated by:

(Date of Grant – Date of termination)(in days)

(Date of Grant – Intended Vesting Date)(in days)

X No. of EIP Interests held on cessation

The value of the EIP Interests may be affected by:

  • the market price of Company Shares at the time the employment ceases;

  • the exercise price (if any) applicable to the EIP Interests;

  • the performance against the performance hurdles at the time the employment ceases;

  • the part of the service period has elapsed at the time the employment ceases; and

  • the number of EIP Interests that lapse on cessation of employment.

6.3 Grant of EIP Interests to Mr Alfonso, Mr Carroll and Mr Allen

The role and responsibilities of the Managing Director, Non-Executive Chairman and Non-Executive Director is material to the success of Yowie Group.

As outlined previously, Shareholder approval must be sought, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14, for the grant of EIP Interests to Mr Alfonso, Mr Carroll and Mr Allen.

After taking advice from expert remuneration consultants, the Board has concluded that the remuneration for Mr Alfonso, Mr Carroll and Mr Allen (including the proposed grant of EIP Interests) are reasonable and appropriate having regard to the circumstances of the Company and Mr Alfonso’s, Mr Carroll’s and Mr Allen’s duties and responsibilities.

6.4

Resolution 5.1 – Issue of Service Rights to Mr Alfonso

Background/reason for grant

Pursuant to the terms of Mr Alfonso’s employment agreement, Mr Alfonso is entitled to a short term incentive of up to US$350,000 per annum, subject to meeting performance conditions specified by the Board.

The Board has determined that Mr Alfonso be eligible to receive Service Rights (or determined cash value) in respect of his achievements over the financial year ended 30 June 2017. The awarding of the Service Rights was conditional on the company achieving specific short-term incentive (STI) expansion targets over the period from the date of Mr Alfonso’s commencement of employment (15 June 2016) to 30 June 2017.

Maximum number of Service Rights to be issued

If Shareholder approval is granted, the Board has determined that the maximum number of Service Rights that may be granted to Mr Alfonso is 1,456,033, for value of US$225,750.

The number of Service Rights to be issued was determined based on the 5 day VWAP of YOW shares immediately after the release of preliminary results for the year ended 30 June 2017 on 24 August 2017, being $0.195 and the A$:US$ foreign exchange rate as at 30 August 2017, being the expiration of the 5 day VWAP period (0.7951).

In the event that shareholder approval is not received for the grant of the Service Rights, the value of the Service Rights as detailed above will be paid in cash.

Price of Service Rights

The Service Rights will be granted at no cost to Mr Alfonso.

Vesting Dates and Conditions

The Vesting Date for the Service Rights granted to Mr Alfonso will be one month after the date of this annual general meeting.

Each Service Right will convert to one Share.

12

All Service Rights will lapse 12 months after the relevant Vesting Date, unless lapsed earlier.

Service Condition :

Continuous employment, as defined in the EIP, from the grant date of the Service Rights until the relevant Vesting Date. This condition means that the movement of Mr Alfonso to a Non-executive Director position during the period up to vesting does not cause the Service Rights to become incapable of vesting.

6.5 Resolution 5.2 – Issue of Performance Rights to Mr Alfonso

Maximum number of Performance Rights to be issued

Pursuant to the terms of Mr Alfonso’s employment agreement, Mr Alfonso is entitled to an initial grant of performance rights under the EIP effective on the date of employment to a value of US$700,000, subject to meeting performance conditions specified by the Board.

If Shareholder approval is granted, the maximum number of Performance Rights that may be granted to Mr Alfonso is 936,698.

The number of Performance Rights to be issued was determined based on the 5 day VWAP of YOW shares up to and including the date of commencement of employment (A$1.012) and the A$:US$ foreign exchange rate on the date of commencement of employment (0.7383).

Value of Performance Rights

The average value of these Performance Rights determined applying a conventional binomial approximation Performance Rights pricing model is $0.185 per Performance Right (total value – A$173,289), based on the following inputs as at 18 September 2017:

Risk-free rate: 2.08% (Derived from the 3 year Commonwealth Treasury Bond Rate) Historical Volatility: 66.00% (based on the YOW closing share price for the previous 12 months Closing Share Price: $0.185 (closing ASX price on 18 September 2017) Exercise Price: $0.00

Dividend Yield: 0.00% (based on actual dividends paid in the previous 12 months)

Price of Performance Rights

The Performance Rights will be granted at no cost to Mr Alfonso. Once the Vesting Conditions are met (or waived), the Performance Rights will be automatically exercised for nil consideration. Each Performance Right will convert to one Share.

Importantly, no value will be received by Mr Alfonso if the Performance Rights lapse prior to the vesting date.

Vesting Dates and Conditions

The Vesting Dates for the Performance Rights granted to Mr Alfonso will be as follows:

  • Tranche 1 : (50% of total grant): 15 June 2018

  • Tranche 2: (50% of total grant): 15 June 2019

All Performance Rights will lapse 12 months after the relevant Vesting Date, unless lapsed earlier.

The names of Directors or their associates who have received securities under the EIP since the last approval (7 November 2016), the number of securities received and the acquisition price for each security, is as follows:

17

Mr Humberto Alfonso

On 18 July 2017, Mr Alfonso was issued 1,000,000 shares on the vesting of 1,000,000 service rights granted on 15 June 2016 pursuant to Mr Alfonso’s employment agreement.

Ms Patricia Fields

347,222 service rights expiring 7 December 2017, for nil consideration. Each Service Right, subject to satisfaction of performance conditions, converts to one Share. The service rights were converted to 347,222 Shares on 27 April 2017.

In addition on 17 January 2017, Ms Fields was issued 1,281,996 Shares on conversion of 1,281,996 achievement award performance rights previously approved by shareholders.

Mr Wayne Loxton (Resigned 6 April 2017)

694,444 Service Rights expiring 7 December 2017, for nil consideration. Each Service Right, subject to satisfaction of performance conditions, converts to one Share. The Service Rights were converted to 694,444 Shares on 27 April 2017.

In addition on 17 January 2017, Mr Loxton was issued 1,709,328 Shares on conversion of 1,709,328 achievement award performance rights previously approved by shareholders.

Subject to shareholder approval, it is anticipated that the EIP Interests proposed in resolutions 5.1 to 5.4 will be granted to Mr Alfonso, Mr Carroll and Mr Allen shortly after the AGM. Irrespective of these intentions, grants of EIP Interests approved by shareholders under this resolution will be issued within 12 months of the date of this Meeting.

Finally, no loan will be provided by the Company in relation to the grant or exercise of the EIP Interests proposed to be issued to Mr Alfonso, Mr Carroll or Mr Allen.

Other Conditions

Unvested EIP Interests may, in certain circumstances, vest early in accordance with the terms of the EIP Rules, and any Leaver’s Policy that may apply from time to time, as approved by the Board.

EIP Interests cannot be transferred, disposed of, or have a security interest imposed over them without Board consent.

Any dealing in Shares is subject to the constraints of Australian insider trading laws and the Company’s Share Trading Policy. Participants are specifically prohibited from hedging their Company share price exposure in respect of their EIP Interests during the vesting period.

On the occurrence of a Corporate Control Event (as defined in the Plan Rules), the Board will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the manner in which all unvested and vested EIP Interests will be dealt with.

If, in the Board’s opinion Mr Alfonso, Mr Carroll or Mr Allen has acted fraudulently or dishonestly or is in breach of his material obligations to the Company, the Board may determine that any or all of their respective EIP Interests which have not yet vested, lapse.

Directors’ Recommendation

As stated in the Notice of Annual General Meeting, any vote cast in respect of this resolution by a member of the Board or KMP or any person who participates in the issue of EIP Interests, and their respective associates, will be disregarded, except as stated in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

7. RESOLUTION 6 – INCREASE IN MAXIMUM AGGREGATE REMUNERATION FOR NONEXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.17 and the Company’s Constitution, an increase in the maximum aggregate remuneration (“fee pool”) for the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors requires shareholder approval.

The current maximum aggregate remuneration available for Non-Executive Directors has not changed since the Company was re-admitted to Official Quotation in December 2012 and was set at $200,000, inclusive of applicable statutory superannuation contributions. At that time, the Company employed two Executive Directors and one Non-Executive Director. The Executive Chair has now retired and a new Non-Executive Chair has been appointed and the other Executive Director is expected to transition to Non-Executive status in the short-medium term. In addition, the Company is looking to appoint an additional Non-Executive Director in the next 12 months.

This means that currently the Company has limited capacity to increase fees paid to its Non-Executive Directors or to attract new Non-Executive Directors, putting the Company at risk of being able to attract and to retain appropriately qualified officers who have the necessary skills and experience to monitor and assist in improving the performance of the Company.

The Directors consider that the fee pool available for Non-Executive Directors should provide sufficient flexibility for the Company to take on additional Directors when deemed necessary and to provide flexibility for succession planning. Shareholders are therefore being asked to approve an increase of $250,000 in the fee pool from $200,000 to $450,000. The Directors consider that the increased aggregate fee pool of $450,000 will (if approved) provide appropriate capacity for the Company’s future requirements. Based on the Board composition, it is not expected that the maximum remuneration payable will be paid to the Board members in the 2018 financial year. However, the increase in the aggregate fee pool will provide the necessary flexibility to operate the Board with a varying number of Directors to meet the oversight and governance requirements of the Company, as well as the ability to attract and retain appropriately qualified Directors.

Within the preceding 3 years, Non-Executive Directors have been issued the following securities, as approved by shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14:

Shareholder Approval: 23 November 2015 Director: Trevor Allen Security Type: Options - 275,000 options exercisable at $0.766 on or before 31 December 2017 - 375,000 options exercisable at $0.90 on or before 31 December 2017 - 425,000 options exercisable at $1.05 on or before 31 December 2017

If shareholder approval is obtained, the increased fee pool will apply for the financial year ended 30 June 2018.

The Directors, with Non-Executive Directors abstaining, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.

19

8. RESOLUTION 7 – APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

As announced on 17 January 2017, the Board resolved to change auditor of the company from BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. The Board decided the change appropriate, as the change provided for the consolidation of services.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd applied for and received ASIC consent to resign as auditor of the Company.

Pursuant to section 327C(1) of the Corporations Act the Company appointed Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as auditor of the Company. In compliance with section 327C(2) of the Corporations Act, an auditor appointed under section 327C(1) of the Corporations Act holds office until the Company’s next AGM.

For the purpose of section 327B of the Corporations Act, Resolution 7 seeks shareholder approval for the appointment of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as auditor of the Company.

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu have been duly nominated in accordance with section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act. In accordance with section 328B(3) of the Corporations Act, a copy of the notice of nomination of auditor accompanies this Notice of Meeting.

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu have provided their consent to be appointed as auditor.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.

9. RESOLUTION 8 – SHARE BUY-BACK

Resolution 8 seeks shareholder approval for the Company to undertake an onmarket share buy-back.

Pursuant to Section 257A of the Corporations Act and clause 10.3 of the Company’s Constitution, the Company is permitted to buy back its own shares. Section 257B outlines the procedure to undertake a buy-back. Pursuant to Section 257B, shareholder approval is not required where the number of shares proposed to be bought back is 10% or less of the smallest number of shares of the Company on issue in the last 12 months (“the 10/12 limit”).

The number of shares proposed to be purchased under the buy-back does not exceed the 10/12 limit and consequently shareholder approval is not required.

The Directors have considered whether the company should undertake a share buyback on a number of occasions in the last 6 months. On each occasion they concluded that a buy-back was not the best use of the Company’s funds. This remains the board’s view.

However, as a result of a request from a group of shareholders, the company has agreed to put Resolution 8 to Shareholders.

If Resolution 8 is approved, the Company will commence an on-market share buyback program to acquire up to 10% of the Company’s issued capital over the next 12 months, equivalent to approximately 20,637,237 ordinary shares (being 10% of the lowest number of issued shares over the last 12 months).

20

10. RESOLUTION 9 – SPILL RESOLUTION

IMPORTANT NOTE: In accordance with the Corporations Act, Resolution 9 will only be put to the meeting if more than 25% of the votes validly cast on Resolution 1 are against the adoption of the remuneration Report.

The Corporations Act requires that if more than 25% of votes are cast against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings, than a resolution must be put to shareholders at the second annual general meeting substantially in the form of Resolution 9.

At the 2016 Annual General Meeting, more than 25% of the votes validly cast on the resolution concerning the adoption of the remuneration report presented at that meeting were cast against that resolution. Accordingly, if at this Annual General Meeting more than 25% of votes validly cast are against the adoption of the remuneration report (Resolution 1), then Resolution 9 will be put to the Meeting.

If Resolution 9 is put to the Meeting and more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of that Resolution, then:

  • A meeting of Shareholders will be held within 90 days of this Annual General Meeting (“Spill Meeting”);

  • All of the current members of the Board other than managing director who may, in accordance with ASX Listing Rules, continue to hold office indefinitely without being re-elected, will vacate their offices immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting; and

  • At the Spill Meeting, resolutions will be voted on to elect individuals to the vacated offices.

If all the current Directors other than managing director who may, in accordance with ASX Listing Rules, continue to hold office indefinitely without being re-elected, cease to be Directors prior to the Spill Resolution, the meeting need not be held.
