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 Annual General Meeting.

This Explanatory Statement forms part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the requirements of the Company’s Constitution and the Corporations Act, the 2019 Annual Report will be tabled at the Annual General Meeting (the Annual Report ). Shareholders will have the opportunity of discussing the Annual Report and making comments and raising queries in relation to the Annual 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.yowieworld.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 2019 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 and a resolution was not put to the vote at the earlier annual general meeting under an earlier application of section 250V of the Corporations Act, a company will be required to put to its 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

4

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 5).

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – LOUIS CARROLL

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.

Under clause 13.4 of the Constitution directors appointed as additional directors and up for reelection under clause 13.4 shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation.

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

5. RESOLUTION 4 - APPROVAL OF CAPITAL RETURN TO SHAREHOLDERS

Background

As announced on 5 July 2019, the Company has proposed a 2 cent per Share capital return to Shareholders ( Capital Return ).

To effect the Capital Return, the Company proposes to reduce its share capital by returning to Shareholders the amount of 2 cents per ordinary share held at 7.00pm (EDST) on Monday 11 November 2019 ( Record Date ). The terms of the return of capital are the same for each Shareholder.

The Capital Return of 2 cents per ordinary share will be returned to relevant Shareholders by way of an equal reduction of capital under Chapter 2J.1 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ). The funds that will be used to make the payments to relevant Shareholders in respect of the Capital Return will be sourced from the Company’s existing cash reserves.

What are the reasons for the Capital Return?

The Board has undertaken a detailed review as to how it should manage the Company’s capital position going forward. The decision to propose the Capital Return reflects the Board’s consideration that the Company has surplus capital as at the 2019 Financial Year, with just over US$16 million in cash, and are forecasting to use only a small part of its cash reserve for working capital. The Company’s cash burn out rate has slowed markedly to less than half of the previous year, and the Board anticipates that the Company will return to growth and be trading cash positively in the second half of the financial year.

Who will participate in the Capital Return?

Subject to Shareholder approval, the distribution resulting from the Capital Return will be to Shareholders who hold fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at the Record Date.

If the Capital Return is not approved, the excess cash will be retained by the Company or utilised as the Board considers appropriate.

What is the effect of the Capital Return on the Company?

Effect on capital structure: For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.20, the Company provides the following information to Shareholders regarding the effect of the return of capital on its securities.

If the Capital Return is implemented, the Company’s issued share capital will be reduced by $4,354,979.74, being 2 cents per fully paid ordinary share. As no shares will be cancelled in connection with the Capital Return, the Capital Return will not affect the number of shares held by each Shareholder or the control of the Company. The Company will continue to have 217,748,987 fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

The Company has performance rights on foot, being the long term incentive arrangements for employees. Any performance rights in the Company that have not vested before the ‘ex’ date of the Capital Return cannot participate in the Capital Return. As a result, the value of the performance rights will reduce in value by an amount equal to the Capital Return per share.

Impact on existing business and growth opportunities: The Board considers that the Capital Return will not adversely affect the Company’s capacity to fund or pursue existing business and growth opportunities whilst also taking into account the interests of all stakeholders.

6

Share price impact: If the Capital Return is implemented, the Company’s shares are likely to trade at a lower share price than they would have done had the Capital Return not been implemented (reflecting that capital is being returned to Shareholders). This is likely to occur from the ‘ex’ date, being the day that the Company’s shares trade without an entitlement to participate in the Capital Return.

Given that the Company’s Share price is below $0.20 and is likely to decrease following the return of capital, a waiver of ASX Listing Rule 7.25 is required. A waiver has been granted by the ASX in relation to ASX Listing Rule 7.25 to the extent necessary to permit the Company to undertake the return of capital.

Tax implications for the Company: No adverse tax consequences are expected to arise for the Company as a result of the Capital Return.

Requirements for the return of capital

The Capital Return will constitute an equal capital reduction for the purposes of the Corporations Act as:

  • it relates only to ordinary shares;

  • it applies to each holder of ordinary shares in proportion to the number of ordinary shares they hold; and

  • the terms of the reduction will be the same for each holder of ordinary shares.

Section 256B(1) of the Corporations Act permits a company to reduce its share capital, including by returning capital in cash or in kind, if the reduction:

  • is fair and reasonable to the company’s Shareholders as a whole;

  • does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors; and

  • is approved by Shareholders under section 256C.

The resolution being put to this Meeting seeks the approval of the Shareholders as required under section 256C.

Is the Capital Return fair and reasonable to Shareholders?

The Board considers that the Capital Return is fair and reasonable to the Company’s Shareholders as it will be available to all ordinary Shareholders equally having regard to the number of ordinary shares in the Company held by each of them at the Record Date.

Is there any material prejudice to creditors?

The Company has undertaken significant work to assess the impact of the return of capital on the Company’s ability to pay its creditors, including current and reasonably foreseeable future claimants. The Company has considered its financial position under a range of possible business and operating environments in order to assess the Company’s capacity to meet the claims of all of its creditors, including current and reasonably foreseeable future obligations, following the return of capital.

The Directors have carefully reviewed the Company’s assets, liabilities and expected cash flows, and believe that the Capital Return will not materially prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors. The Directors have also satisfied themselves as to the solvency of the Company following the implementation of the Capital Return. In particular, the Company will have sufficient cash resources to pay its creditors after the return of capital.

Tax implications for Shareholders

The information set out below is general in nature and should not be relied upon as advice.

Tax implications for shareholders will depend on the circumstances of the particular shareholder. All shareholders should therefore seek their own professional advice in relation to their tax position. Neither the Company nor any of its officers, employees or advisers assumes any liability or responsibility for advising shareholders about the tax consequences of the Capital Return.

7

No adverse tax consequences are expected to arise for the Company from the Capital Return

Payment details and rounding

The amount payable in respect of each fully paid ordinary share in the Company on issue on the Record Date will be 2 cents per fully paid ordinary share. Amounts payable to Shareholders will be rounded up or down to the nearest cent, applying standard rounding techniques.

If the Capital Return is approved by Shareholders, payment will be made to Shareholders according to payment elections provided to the Company’s share registry, Link Market Services Limited, Level 12, QV1 Building, 250 St Georges Terrace Perth WA 6000, Telephone 1300 554 474 or +61 1300 554 474.

Timetable for the Capital Return

Subject to shareholder approval, the proposed Capital Return is expected to take effect in accordance with the following timetable*:

Event Date
Meeting and Capital Return approval Wednesday 6 November 2019
Yowie’s share trade‘ex’the Capital Return Friday 8 November 2019
Record Date for determining entitlement Monday 11 November 2019
to participateinCapital Return
Implementation of the Capital Return Monday 18 November 2019

*All dates and times are indicative only. The Company reserves the right to vary these dates and times.

Are there any reasons to vote against this item?

The Board believes that the Capital Return is in the Company’s best interests for the reasons set out in this Notice of Annual General Meeting.

You may wish to vote against this item for various reasons, for example if you believe that the Company should retain these surplus funds or use them in a different way.

Directors’ interests

As at the date of the Notice of Annual General Meeting, the following Directors of the Company have an interest in the Capital Return as they are Shareholders of the Company:

Director Interest
**MarkSchuessler ** 1,075,323fully paid ordinary shares
Louis Carroll 1,021,739 fully paid ordinary shares
Neville Bassett 100,000 fully paid ordinary shares

Lodgement

No other material information

This explanatory statement provides Shareholders with all information known to the Company which has not previously been disclosed to Shareholders that is material to the decision whether or not to vote in favour of this item.

8

Ordinary Resolution

The Resolution is an ordinary resolution, meaning that it can be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of approving the Capital Return.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – SPILL RESOLUTION

IMPORTANT NOTE: In accordance with the Corporations Act, Resolution 5 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 5.

At the 2018 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 5 will be put to the Meeting.

If Resolution 5 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 reelected, 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.
