22,859,091 fully paid ordinary shares of the Company to institutional and other

Further information relating to the above Resolution, including the voting restrictions

EXPLANATORY NOTES
Approval of issue of shares to institutional and other
selected investors
This Notice of Special Meeting does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer
to buy, any securities in any jurisdiction. This Notice of Special Meeting has been prepared in
compliance with New Zealand law and NZX Listing Rules ("Rules") solely for purposes of
seeking shareholder approval of a proposed allotment of ordinary shares.
The Company is seeking shareholder approval by Ordinary Resolution to issue 22,859,091 fully
paid ordinary shares in TradeWindow to institutional and other selected investors pursuant to
the terms of the offer made to participants on 21 November 2025, as described below.
Overview of the Capital Raising
On 25 November 2025, TradeWindow announced that it had closed its recent A$5 million /
NZ$5.75
3
million capital raise ( see https://www.nzx.com/announcements/463310). The capital
raising was a non-underwritten placement of A$5 million / NZ$5.75 million of newly issued
ordinary shares to institutional and other select investors (the "Placement"). As announced
through NZX on 21 November
2025, the issue price for the fully paid ordinary shares under the
Placement was A$0.22/NZ$0.25
4
per share representing a 27.8% discount to last close of
A$0.305/NZ$0.35) on 20 November 2025. The newly issued ordinary shares will be fully paid,
equally ranking ordinary shares in TWL.
Under the Placement, the Company sought the amount described above to drive
TradeWindow's growth in Australia, support the development of new software solutions,
provide additional working capital and fund the ASX Foreign Exempt listing.
NZX Listing Rules requirements – issue of equity securities
Shareholder approval is required under Rule 4.2.1 because the Placement exceeds the
Company's 15% placement capacity under Rule 4.5.1 and, therefore, the Placement is
subject to approval by Ordinary Resolution of the shareholders in accordance with Rule 4.2.1.
As all of the Shares under the Placement will be issued under Rule 4.2.1, none of
TradeWindow's placement capacity under Rule 4.5.1 will be used for the Placement.
Waiver – Requirement to allot Quoted Financial Products no later than 10 Business Days after
the final closing date of the offer
In accordance with Rule 4.19.1, TWL is required to allot Quoted Financial Products no later
than 10 Business Days after the final closing date of the offer. However, as the Placement
was made subject to approval by Ordinary Resolution of TWL shareholders, the allotment of
Shares under the Placement could not comply with the timeframe required by Rule 4.19.1.
Therefore, TradeWindow sought, and NZX Regulation Limited (NZ RegCo) has granted to
TradeWindow, a waiver in respect of the requirement under Rule 4.19.1, to permit the

4
Exchange rate as at 19 November 2025: A$1/NZ$1.15.

allotment of shares under the Placement beyond the 10 Business Days after the final closing
date of the offer.
The waiver was granted by NZ RegCo on the following conditions:
(a) allotment of shares under the Placement occurs no later than 10 Business Days after
the shareholder meeting;
(b) the waiver, and TWL's reliance on the waiver, is disclosed in any Offer Document (as
defined in the Rules) that TWL publishes during the period TWL is reliant on the waiver.
(c) the waiver, and TradeWindow's reliance on the waiver, is disclosed in this Notice of
Special Meeting and TradeWindow's next annual report.
The terms of the waiver can be found on the Company's NZX announcement page on the
NZX website at (https://www.nzx.com/companies/TWL/announcements).

The calculations are also subject to any further share issues that may occur in accordance
with the Rules.
Implication if Resolution is not passed
If this Resolution does not pass, the Company will not issue any new Shares and will not raise
the targeted amount. The Company may then need to consider other funding options in the
near term, which may not be as favourable to the Company and are less certain than the
Placement.
Recommendation to vote in favour of the Resolution
The non-interested directors of TradeWindow unanimously recommend that shareholders
vote in favour of the Resolution to approve issuance of the new Shares under the Placement.
You are encouraged to vote whether or not you have participated in the Placement.
