PointsBet Holdings Announces 2026 Virtual AGM for Director Re-election and Remuneration Report Approval

Virtual Meeting Format and Shareholder Engagement

PointsBet Holdings will host its 2026 AGM using the meetnow.global platform at https://meetnow.global/M7D4GHL, enabling shareholders and proxyholders to participate remotely. The virtual format allows attendees to follow proceedings, cast votes live, and submit questions in real time. Registration begins at 10.30am Melbourne time, with the meeting starting promptly at 11.00am on 25 August 2026. This approach facilitates broad shareholder participation without requiring physical attendance.

The platform supports interactive features typical of in-person meetings, including live Q&A sessions with company officials. Shareholders unable to attend but wishing to submit questions in advance may do so via a dedicated form. Frequently raised questions will be addressed by the Chairman during the meeting, although time constraints may limit responses, and individual replies will not be provided.

Director Sam Swanell’s Re-election and Board Stability

Resolution 1 proposes the re-election of Sam Swanell as a director, in line with clause 7.1(d) of the company’s Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4. Mr Swanell is retiring by rotation and has confirmed his willingness to stand for re-election. Shareholders will vote on this ordinary resolution requiring a simple majority. Detailed information on Mr Swanell’s qualifications and tenure is included in the Explanatory Statement accompanying the Notice of Meeting.

This re-election process ensures regular evaluation of board composition and director performance, allowing shareholders to reaffirm their support for Mr Swanell’s continued board service. The explanatory materials provide comprehensive background to assist shareholders in making an informed voting decision.

Adoption of Remuneration Report for FY Ending 31 March 2026

Resolution 2 concerns the adoption of the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 31 March 2026. This advisory resolution, pursuant to section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), allows shareholders to express their views on executive remuneration policies. Although non-binding, the vote is a key governance mechanism.

Voting restrictions apply to key management personnel (KMP) named in the report and their closely related parties, except where the Chairman is expressly authorised to vote as proxy or votes are cast in accordance with shareholder instructions. These measures ensure remuneration decisions reflect shareholder interests rather than those of affected executives.

Review of Financial, Directors’, and Auditor’s Reports

The meeting will commence with the receipt and consideration of the Financial Report, Directors’ Report, and Auditor’s Report for the year ended 31 March 2026. No vote is required on this item, consistent with Corporations Act and ASX requirements. These reports provide shareholders with audited financial statements and independent assessments of company performance and governance.

The Financial Report details PointsBet Holdings’ revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, and cash flows, offering a comprehensive financial overview. The Directors’ Report highlights significant events, management’s analysis, and strategic priorities. The Auditor’s Report confirms the accuracy and compliance of the financial statements with accounting standards.

Proxy Appointment and Voting Instructions

Shareholders entitled to vote may appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf. Those with multiple votes may appoint up to two proxies, specifying voting proportions; absent such specification, votes are split equally. Proxies may be individuals or corporations and have full rights to speak, vote, and request polls within their appointment scope.

Proxy forms must be signed by the shareholder or authorised attorney and accompanied by relevant documentation if applicable. For joint holders, the vote of the first registered holder prevails. Shareholders are encouraged to direct their proxy on each resolution. The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all resolutions.

Proxy Submission Deadlines and Methods

Proxies must be lodged by 11.00am Melbourne time on Sunday, 23 August 2026. Submission options include online lodgement per instructions on the proxy form, postal delivery to PointsBet Holdings Limited via Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited at GPO Box 242, Melbourne, Victoria 3001, Australia, or facsimile to the share registry.

The two-day window before the meeting allows processing of proxies and preparation for the AGM. Shareholders attending in person will suspend their proxy’s voting rights during their attendance to prevent duplicate voting.

Shareholder Voting Entitlements and Registry Management

Voting rights at the AGM will be determined based on shareholdings recorded at 7:00pm Melbourne time on Sunday, 23 August 2026. This record date enables accurate shareholder registers for meeting participation. Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited administers all proxy and registry functions.

The fixed record date ensures clarity and compliance with Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules. Shares acquired after this date do not confer voting rights at the AGM, while shareholders on the record date retain voting entitlement regardless of subsequent disposals.

Chairman Brett Paton’s Message to Shareholders

Chairman Brett Paton expressed gratitude to shareholders for their ongoing support and confidence in the company and its management. The message underscores the board’s commitment to capitalising on future opportunities and enhancing shareholder value. While specific growth plans were not detailed, the AGM will provide a forum for strategic updates and shareholder engagement.

Compliance with Corporate Governance and Legal Requirements

The AGM Notice and Explanatory Statement comply with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), ASX Listing Rules, and the company’s Constitution. The documents clearly outline meeting business, resolutions, voting procedures, and restrictions, ensuring shareholders receive comprehensive information for informed participation. A four-week notice period precedes the meeting, facilitating ample time for review and proxy arrangements.

Defined terms are clarified in an accompanying Glossary to aid shareholder understanding and effective involvement in governance processes.
