Proxies

Please note that all Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting are entitled to appoint a proxy. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. A Shareholder may appoint a body corporate or individual as its proxy. A body corporate appointed as a Shareholder's proxy may appoint an individual as its representative to exercise any of the powers that the body may exercise as the Shareholder's proxy. Shareholders entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging proxy forms. If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as its proxy and the body corporate wishes to appoint an individual as its representative, the body corporate should provide that person with a certificate or letter executed in accordance with the Corporations Act authorising him or her to act as that body corporate's representative. The authority may be sent to the Company or its share registry in advance of the Meeting or handed in at the Meeting when registering as a corporate representative.

To vote by proxy, the Proxy Form (together with the original of any power of attorney or other authority, if any, or certified copy of that power of attorney or other authority under which the Proxy Form is signed) must be received at the Company no later than 11:00am (WST) on Wednesday, 22 July 2020, which is no more than 48 hours before the date of the Meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO SHAREHOLDERS

KRESTA HOLDINGS LIMITED

ACN 008 675 803

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Shareholders should read this Explanatory Statement in full and if they have any questions, obtain professional advice before making any decisions in relation to the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the Meeting.

1. INTRODUCTION

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Company's 2020 Annual General Meeting to be held at 380 Victoria Road, Malaga, Western Australia 6090 on Friday, 24 July 2020 at 11:00am (WST).

You should read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions. If Shareholders are in doubt about what to do in relation to the Resolutions, they should consult a financial or other professional adviser.

2. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

The Corporations Act requires the Company to lay before the Annual General Meeting the Company's Financial Report, Directors' Report (including the Remuneration Report) and the Auditor's Report for the last financial year that ended before the Annual General Meeting.

No resolution is required for this item, but Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions or make comments in relation to these reports.

The Company's Auditor will also be present at the AGM and Shareholders will be given the opportunity to ask the Auditor questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor's report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the Auditor.

3. RESOLUTION 1 - APPROVAL OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Remuneration Report is set out in the 2019 Annual Report. In summary, the Remuneration Report:

  1. explains the Board's policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors and specified executives of the Company;
  2. deals with the link between the Board's policies and the Company's performance;
  3. sets out remuneration details for each Director and specified executive of the Company; and
  4. makes clear that the basis for remunerating non-executive Directors is distinct from the basis for remunerating executive Directors.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the AGM. Under section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, a resolution that the

6

Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the vote. This item is included for advisory purposes only and any vote taken at the AGM does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Board will nonetheless consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at this Meeting when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies.

Under the 'two strikes' rule in the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings are cast against the adoption of the Remuneration Report, a 'spill resolution' must be put to Shareholders of the Company at the second Annual General Meeting.

At last year's annual general meeting, more than 25% of the votes cast on the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 were against the adoption of the report and the Company received a 'first strike'.

If 25% or more of the votes that are cast on Resolution 1 are cast against the adoption of the Remuneration Report for the financial year end 31 December 2019, the Company will receive a 'second strike' and will be required to put Resolution 3 to the Shareholders at this AGM,. Further information about Resolution 3 is set out below. In accordance with the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions and make comments about the Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Board recommendation: Noting each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company (as described in the Remuneration Report), the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution 1.

4. RESOLUTION 2 - RE-ELECTION OF MR MINGMING ZHANG AS A DIRECTOR

Clause 3.6 of the Constitution requires that one third of the Directors must retire from office at the Annual General Meeting each year and are eligible for re-election.

Accordingly, Mr Mingming Zhang, having been in office longest since his last election, retires and and being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.

Mr Zhang has been with the Kresta business for 5 years. During this time, he has managed the procurement and distribution business.

5. RESOLUTION 3 - SPILL RESOLUTION (CONTINGENT ITEM)

The Corporations Act includes a 'two strikes' rule in relation to Remuneration Reports. The two strikes rule provides that, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings are cast against adopting the Remuneration Report, a 'spill resolution' (as set out in Resolution 3) (Spill Resolution) must be put to Shareholders at the second Annual General Meeting.

At last year's annual general meeting, more than 25% of the votes cast on the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report for the year end 31 December 2018 were against adopting the report. This is the 'first strike'.

If at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against adopting the Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2019, then the Company will receive a 'second strike' and the Spill Resolution will be put to the meeting.

If the Spill Resolution is put to the meeting, it will be considered as an ordinary resolution, which means that, to be passed, the Resolution requires the approval of a simple majority of the votes cast by or on behalf of the Shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution.

7

If the Spill Resolution is passed, a further general meeting (Spill Meeting) must be held within 90 days after the passing of the Spill Resolution. Immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting, each of the Directors who were in office when the Board approved the last Directors' Report (other than the Managing Director) (Relevant Directors), will automatically cease to hold office, but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting and subject to the Company maintaining the minimum number of Directors required by the Corporations Act.

The Relevant Directors are:

  • Mr Mingming Zhang;
  • Ms Li Ding; and
  • Mr Xueqiang Liu.

Each of the Relevant Directors would be eligible to seek re-election at the Spill Meeting, however, there is no assurance that any of them would do so.

The Board believes that the current Board has made significant progress in resolving the issues which Shareholders have raised in respect of the Company's market performance. The Board considers that convening a Spill Meeting would be extremely disruptive to the Company and it would be inappropriate to remove all of the Relevant Directors in the circumstances. However, the Board recognises that Shareholders can remove a Director by a majority Shareholder vote at any general meeting and for any reason.

Shareholder should note there are no voting exclusions applicable to resolutions appointing Directors at any subsequent meeting of Shareholders. This would mean there is no barrier to any of the Key Management Personnel who are Shareholders of the Company exercising their voting rights on the resolutions at the Spill Meeting.

Board recommendation: Noting that each Relevant Director would have a personal interest in any such resolution, the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote against Resolution 3 if it is put to the meeting.
