Rules 4.7.3 and 4.10.3 ASX Listing Rules Appendix 4G (current at 17/7/2020) Page 1 ME_214628133_1 Appendix 4G Key to Disclosures Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations Name of entity Mesoblast Limited ABN/ARBN Financial year ended: 109 431 870 30 June 2023 Our corporate governance statement1 for the period above can be found at:2 ☐ These pages of our annual report: ☒ This URL on our website: www.mesoblast.com/company/corporate-governance The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 12 October 2023 and has been approved by the board. The annexure includes a key to where our corporate governance disclosures can be located.3 Date: 30 October 2023 Name of authorised officer authorising lodgement: Silviu Itescu 1 “Corporate governance statement” is defined in Listing Rule 19.12 to mean the statement referred to in Listing Rule 4.10.3 which discloses the extent to which an entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during a particular reporting period. Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires an entity that is included in the official list as an ASX Listing to include in its annual report either a corporate governance statement that meets the requirements of that rule or the URL of the page on its website where such a statement is located. The corporate governance statement must disclose the extent to which the entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during the reporting period. If the entity has not followed a recommendation for any part of the reporting period, its corporate governance statement must separately identify that recommendation and the period during which it was not followed and state its reasons for not following the recommendation and what (if any) alternative governance practices it adopted in lieu of the recommendation during that period. Under Listing Rule 4.7.4, if an entity chooses to include its corporate governance statement on its website rather than in its annual report, it must lodge a copy of the corporate governance statement with ASX at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The corporate governance statement must be current as at the effective date specified in that statement for the purposes of Listing Rule 4.10.3. Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must also lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The Appendix 4G serves a dual purpose. It acts as a key designed to assist readers to locate the governance disclosures made by a listed entity under Listing Rule 4.10.3 and under the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s recommendations. It also acts as a verification tool for listed entities to confirm that they have met the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 4.10.3. The Appendix 4G is not a substitute for, and is not to be confused with, the entity's corporate governance statement. They serve different purposes and an entity must produce each of them separately. 2 Tick whichever option is correct and then complete the page number(s) of the annual report, or the URL of the web page, where your corporate governance statement can be found. You can, if you wish, delete the option which is not applicable. 3 Throughout this form, where you are given two or more options to select, you can, if you wish, delete any option which is not applicable and just retain the option that is applicable. If you select an option that includes “OR” at the end of the selection and you delete the other options, you can also, if you wish, delete the “OR” at the end of the selection. See notes 4 and 5 below for further instructions on how to complete this form.

ROLE OF MANAGEMENT Day to day management of the Group’s operations and the implementation of the corporate strategy and policy initiatives are delegated by the Board to the Chief Executive and the executive team. Specific limits of authority delegated to the Chief Executive and senior executive team are outlined in a formal delegation of authority policy, which has been approved by the Board. DIRECTOR SELECTION AND APPOINTMENT The Company conducts appropriate checks before it appoints a person or puts forward to shareholders a new candidate for election as a Director. These include checks as to the person’s character, experience, education, criminal record, bankruptcy history, probity and any other relevant matters. The Company also provides shareholders with all material information in its possession relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a Director in the notice of meeting provided to shareholders. This includes information relevant for shareholders to be able to assess each Director’s skills and competencies, industry experience, time commitments, current directorships, and other relevant information in their consideration of that election, including any other interest, position or relationship that might influence on their ability to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the Company as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual shareholder or other party. WRITTEN AGREEMENTS WITH DIRECTORS AND SENIOR EXECUTIVES The Company has a written agreement with each Director and senior executive setting out the terms of their appointment. The roles and responsibilities of each non-executive Director is set out in their letter of appointment, which the Director receives and commits to on their appointment. The letter of appointment specifies the time commitment, expectations in relation to committee work or any other special duties attaching to the Director’s position, reporting lines, remuneration arrangements, disclosure obligations in relation to personal interests, confidentiality obligations, insurance and indemnity entitlements and details of the Company’s key governance policies. The key governance policies are available at www.mesoblast.com/company/corporate- governance. Each executive Director and senior executive has entered into a service contract that sets out the material terms of employment, including a description of position and duties, reporting lines, remuneration arrangements and termination rights and entitlements. Further details on arrangements which apply to each executive Director and those senior executives who are designated key management personnel can be found in Item 6 of Form 20-F contained within our Annual Report. COMPANY SECRETARIES The Company Secretaries are accountable directly to the Board, through the Chair, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board. The Company Secretaries assist the Board in its effectiveness by monitoring that Board policies and procedures are followed and by coordinating the timely completion and dispatch of the Board agenda and supporting papers. The Directors have direct access to the Company Secretaries who regularly communicate with them through email, by telephone and in in-person meetings. DIVERSITY The Group values diversity and recognizes the benefits that diversity can bring to the organization’s ability to achieve its goals. Diversity can lead to a competitive advantage through broadening the talent pool for recruitment of high quality employees, by encouraging innovation and improving a corporation’s professionalism and reputation. Accordingly, the Group is committed to promoting diversity within the Group and has adopted a formal policy outlining the Group’s diversity objectives. A copy of the diversity policy is available at www. mesoblast.com/company/corporate-governance. With respect to gender diversity, the Group has set the following objectives: 1) aim to increase the number of women on the Board of Directors as vacancies arise and circumstances permit; 2) aim to increase the number of women who hold senior executive positions as vacancies arise and circumstances permit; and 3) ensure the opportunity exists for equal gender participation in all levels of professional development programs. The Group is committed to developing a workplace that promotes diversity by acting in fairness, objectively and without prejudice. The Group’s policy is to recruit and manage on the basis of competence and performance regardless of age, nationality, race, gender, religious beliefs, sexuality, physical ability or cultural background. Accordingly, the Group has not established measurable objectives or number targets for achieving gender diversity.

Mesoblast Limited Corporate Governance Statement 2023 3 The following table reports the Group’s progress towards achieving its gender diversity objectives for points one and two above. In regard to point three, the Group ensured that an equal opportunity existed for gender participation in all levels of professional development programs during the financial year. For completeness, as at 30 June 2023, the Group globally had 83 employees, of which 44 (53%) were female. Category Number of women at 30 June 2023 Number of women at 30 June 2022 Increase/ (Decrease) Board of Directors 1 1 – Senior executive positions* 3 3 – * A senior executive position is one held by an executive who reports directly to the Chief Executive. Approximately 33% of senior executive positions were held by women as at 30 June 2023. The Board is conscious of the gender imbalance at board level and has an objective to increase this number as vacancies arise and circumstances permit (noting the last board appointee was a female). The Board has delegated the responsibility for reviewing and reporting on diversity, specifically gender diversity, to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. BOARD PERFORMANCE EVALUATION The performance of the Board, its committees, individual Directors and senior management is reviewed periodically. A copy of the Group’s performance evaluation process is available at www.mesoblast.com/company/corporate- governance. This review encompasses feedback on the Chair and individual non-executive Directors as well as consideration of Board succession planning, diversity, and the breadth and sufficiency of skills represented on the Board. The results of the review were discussed by the Board, for the purpose of confirming that the Board continues to function in an appropriate manner. The Board also carries out informal performance monitoring sessions at each quarterly meeting of the Board. In addition, Directors are encouraged to raise any issues or concern regarding the performance of the Board, Board committees or individual Directors with the Chair, or if the concern relates to the Chair, with the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee. SENIOR EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION The process for assessing performance of the Chief Executive and the senior executive team is described in the Remuneration Report. A performance evaluation for senior executives, which accords with the process described in the Remuneration Report, was undertaken with respect to the financial year ended on 30 June 2023. PRINCIPLE 2. STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO BE EFFECTIVE AND ADD VALUE NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE The Board has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee to assist it in the discharge of its responsibilities, and in particular to ensure that appointments to the Board are subject to formal, rigorous and transparent procedures in order to create an environment where the Board can carry out effective and responsible decision making and oversight. The main responsibilities of the committee are to: • conduct reviews of the membership of the Board having regard to present and future needs of the Company and to make recommendations on Board composition, appointments and reappointments; • conduct reviews of and determine the independence of each Director; • propose candidates for Board vacancies; • oversee annual executive performance evaluations, including recommendations for long and short term incentive grants as well as pay reviews; • oversee Board succession, including the succession of the Chair, and review whether succession plans are in place to maintain an appropriately balanced mix of skills, experience and diversity on the Board; • manage the processes in relation to meeting Board diversity objectives; • oversee senior management succession plans; and • assess the effectiveness of the Board induction process.

4 Mesoblast Limited Corporate Governance Statement 2023 BOARD SKILLS MATRIX The Company has developed a skills matrix setting out the mix of skills and diversity that the Board currently has or is looking to achieve in its membership. The skills matrix helps to identify any gaps in the collective skills of the Board that can then be addressed through professional development initiatives for Directors and in Board succession planning. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee regularly reviews its skills matrix to make sure it covers the skills needed to address existing and emerging business and governance issues relevant to the Company. The skills and experience that the Board has, and continues to add to its membership, are in the areas of, but not limited to: • Industry experience: pharmaceutical/ biotechnology product development – substantial experience in the drug investigation, testing and development process; • Industry experience: pharmaceutical/biotechnology commercialization and regulatory – substantial experience in the drug commercialization process including clinical trials and path to regulatory and pricing approval; • Industry experience: pharmaceutical/biotechnology manufacturing and supply – substantial experience in the global manufacturing, quality control and supply of approved pharmaceutical products; • Executive management and leadership: substantial experience in managing and leading organizations at senior executive and board levels; • Global business/commercial experience: substantial experience in senior executive roles for businesses operating across multiple global locations; • Strategy: substantial experience in the development and implementation of strategic direction and plans to deliver investor returns over time; • Corporate financing, mergers and acquisitions: substantial experience in capital raisings, mergers and acquisitions of companies and complementary technologies; • Financial and risk management: expertise and experience in audit, financial accounting and reporting, internal controls, financial disclosure and industry taxation; • Human resources: substantial experience in stakeholder management, oversight of remuneration, incentives, equity programs, benefits, employment contracts and workplace health and safety; • Corporate governance: substantial experience in public entity disclosure, management oversight and inquiry, listing rules and compliance; and • Medical/healthcare leadership: substantial leadership experience in healthcare organizations and/or integrated healthcare delivery. Each of these skills is well represented on the Board. INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS With the exception of our Chief Executive and Chief Medical Officer (who are executive directors), as at 30 June 2023, the Board was comprised of the following independent Directors: • Mr William Burns; • Mr Michael Spooner*; • Mr Joseph R. Swedish; • Dr Philip Krause**; • Mr Philip J. Facchina, and • Ms Jane Bell * Since the end of the reporting period, Michael Spooner has retired from the Board. ** Since the end of the reporting period, Philip Krause is no longer considered an independent director. A Director is considered independent if he or she is a non-executive Director and is free of any interest, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his or her capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board. The Board considers the factors set out in the ASXCGPR and outlined below when assessing the independence of each non-executive Director, being whether the Director: • is, or has been, employed in an executive capacity by the Group and there has not been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board; • receives performance based remuneration (including options or performance rights) from, or participates in an employee incentive scheme of, the entity; • is, or has within the last three years been, a partner, director, senior employee or consultant or a provider of material professional services to the Group; • is, or has been within the last three years, in a material business relationship (eg, as a supplier, professional advisor, consultant or customer) with the Group, or is an officer of, or otherwise associated with, someone in such a relationship; • is, represents, or is or has been within the last three years an officer or employee of, or professional adviser to, a substantial security holder of the Group; • has a material contractual relationship with the Group other than as a Director; • has close personal ties, which may be based on family, friendship, or other social or business connections, with any person who falls within any of the categories described above; or • has been a Director of the Company for such a period that their independence from management and substantial holders may have been compromised. The Board at least annually assesses the independence of its non-executive Directors. To enable this assessment of independence, the Company maintains a conflicts of interest register, and the Directors must provide all information that may be relevant to the assessment at the earliest opportunity.

Mesoblast Limited Corporate Governance Statement 2023 5 As part of its annual assessment of independence for the 2023 calendar year, the Board gave specific consideration to: • the fact that our non-executive Directors have received options under our employee incentive scheme; • the independence of Mr Spooner, who performed the role of Executive Chair from August 2005 to November 2007, at which time he resigned but remained a Director, and also due to Mr Spooner having a tenure of 18 years and 9 months as at 30 June 2023 (with 15 years and 7 months as a non- executive Director); • the independence of Mr Facchina, who is Chief Strategy Officer of SurgCenter Development. SurgCenter Development is not a security holder in Mesoblast. However, some of its principals were lead investors in Mesoblast’s successful: – US$110 million private placement completed in March 2021; – US$65 million private placement completed in August 2022; and – US$40 million private placement completed in April 2023; and • the independence of Dr Krause, who has recently been performing a strategic advisory role for the Company under a consulting agreement in addition to his role of non-executive director. With respect to the options previously granted to non-executive Directors, it is the Board’s view that these options will not interfere with the Director’s capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the Group as a whole. It is noted that the options granted to non-executive Directors, unlike other options granted to employees, are not subject to any performance or service conditions or hurdles. With respect to Mr Spooner’s former role as Executive Chair and his continuation on the Board, the Board maintains the view that he remained an independent Director on the basis that the Group has significantly expanded its operations since he held an executive role more than ten years ago. With respect to Mr Spooner’s tenure on the Board until his recent retirement, the Board considered that Mr Spooner was an independent Director on the basis that he brought valuable expertise, independent judgement and had not formed associations with management or others that might compromise his ability to fulfil his role as an independent Director. With respect to Mr Facchina, the Board considers that Mr Facchina brings independent judgement, experience and expertise to the Board on behalf of all shareholders and that he does not represent the interests of any particular shareholder or group of shareholders. With respect to Dr Krause, the NASDAQ rules have a financial threshold for payments to directors (other than director fees and committee fees) which if exceeded, a director is no longer considered independent. Since that threshold has been reached in relation to Dr Krause’s remuneration under his strategic advisory role for the Company, he is not considered an independent Director. As a result, he is no longer a member of the Company’s Nomination & Remuneration Committee. CHAIR The Chair is responsible for leading the Board and for the efficient organization and conduct of the Board. The role of the Chair more specifically is to ensure Directors are properly briefed in all matters relevant to their role and responsibilities, to facilitate Board discussions and to manage the Board’s relationship with the Chief Executive and executive team. In accepting the position, the Chair has acknowledged that it will require a significant time commitment and has confirmed that other positions held will not hinder his effective performance in the role of Chair. The Chair, Mr Joseph R. Swedish, is considered an independent Director. TERM OF OFFICE The Company’s constitution specifies that no Director, except the Chief Executive, may hold office for a period in excess of three years, or beyond the third Annual General Meeting following the Director’s election, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election. The term in office held by each Director in office as at 30 June 2023 is as follows: Director Term as director Position held at 30 June 2023 Joseph Swedish 5 years Independent Chair William Burns 9 years and 3 months Independent vice-Chair Silviu Itescu 19 years Executive Director Michael Spooner 18 years and 9 months Independent Director Eric Rose 10 years and 2 months Executive Director Philip Facchina 2 years and 3 months Independent Director Philip Krause 1 year and 3 months Non-Executive Director (not independent) Jane Bell 10 months Independent Director BOARD INDUCTION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT All new Directors participate in an informal induction program which covers the operation of the Board and its committees, and an overview of the Group’s core programs, key strategy, financial and relevant operational documents. The induction also includes meetings with existing Directors and senior executives

6 Mesoblast Limited Corporate Governance Statement 2023 to ensure all relevant and material information is explained thoroughly. The induction provided to new Directors enables them to actively participate in Board decision-making as soon as possible. The Board encourages Directors to identify opportunities for, and to participate in, continuing education. The Board actively assesses relevant conferences and presentations that are appropriate for them to attend, particularly in the field of regenerative medicine, to heighten their understanding of the Group’s core technologies and industry. In addition, presentations from management and external advisors are included in the agenda for Board meetings throughout the year to assist with keeping the Directors updated and informed on key developments in laws and the regulatory environment. PRINCIPLE 3. INSTIL A CULTURE OF ACTING LAWFULLY, ETHICALLY AND RESPONSIBLY CODE OF CONDUCT AND VALUES As part of its commitment to recognizing the legitimate interests of stakeholders, the Group has established a code of conduct (Code), statement of values and a suite of policies and procedures to guide all Directors and employees in respect of ethical and compliant behaviour expected by the Group. In summary, the Code requires that at all times all Company personnel act with the utmost integrity, objectivity and in compliance with the law and Company policies. More specifically, the Code covers the following: • conflicts of interest; • confidentiality; • fair dealing; • protection of assets; • compliance with laws and regulations; • reporting violations of the Code; • security trading; and • commitments to stakeholders. A copy of the Code and statement of values can be found at www.mesoblast.com/company/corporate- governance.

These policies can be found at www.mesoblast.com/ company/corporate-governance. The Company has a process in place to inform the Board or a committee of the Board of any material breaches of the Anti- Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy, Code and material incidents reported under the Disclosure of Complaints and Concerns Policy. PRINCIPLE 4. SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY OF CORPORATE REPORTS AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE The Board has established an Audit and Risk Committee to which it has delegated the responsibility for ensuring that an effective internal control framework exists within the Group. The main responsibilities of the Audit and Risk Committee with respect to financial reporting are to: • review and assess the annual financial report, the half-year financial report, the Company’s quarterly accounts and all other financial information published by the Company or released to the market; • recommend to the Board the appointment, removal and remuneration of the external auditors, and review the terms of their engagement, the scope and quality of the audit and assess performance; • consider the independence and competence of the external auditor on an ongoing basis; • review and approve the level of non-audit services provided by the external auditors and ensure it does not adversely impact on auditor independence; • review and monitor related party transactions; • oversee the effective operation of the risk management framework; • oversee and review the Company’s compliance with the Disclosure of Complaints and Concerns policy by Mesoblast personnel; • assist the Board in reviewing the effectiveness of the organization’s internal control environment covering: – effectiveness and efficiency of operations and business processes; – safeguarding of assets; – reliability of financial reporting and maintaining proper accounting records; and – compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and • report to the Board on matters relevant to the committee’s role and responsibilities. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit and Risk Committee: • receives regular reports from management and the external auditors; • meets with the external auditors at least four times a year, or more frequently if necessary; • reviews the processes which the Chief Executive and Interim Chief Financial Officer have in place to support their certifications to the Board; • reviews any significant disagreements between the auditors and management, irrespective of whether they have been resolved; and • provides the external auditors with a clear line of direct communication at any time to either the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee or the Chair of the Board. The Audit and Risk Committee has authority,

The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to risk management, compliance and internal control systems. They monitor the Group’s risk management by overseeing management’s actions in the evaluation, management, monitoring and reporting of material operational, financial, compliance and strategic risks. In providing this oversight of the Company’s risk management systems and practices, the committee: • reviews the framework and methodology for risk identification, the degree of risk the Company is willing to accept, the management of risk and the processes for auditing and evaluating the Group’s risk management system; • reviews Group-wide objectives in the context of the abovementioned categories of corporate risk; • reviews and, where necessary, approves guidelines and policies governing the identification, assessment and management of the Group’s exposure to risk; • reviews and approves the delegations of financial authorities and addresses any need to update these authorities on an annual basis; and • reviews compliance with agreed policies.

Further detail on risks can be found in the ‘Risk Factors’ section (Item 3.D) on the Form 20-F contained within our Annual Report.

The Company also has compliance control and monitoring to oversee compliance with the Company’s Code, policies, and applicable healthcare- related laws and regulations.

Voting Exclusion for: Items 5(a), 5(b), 6(a), 6(b), 7 and 8 – Approval of Proposed Issue of Options The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of the resolutions proposed in Items 5(a), 5(b), 6(a), 6(b), 7 and 8: • by a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1, 10.14.2, or 10.14.3 who is eligible to participate in the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan (or their respective associates); and • by any person who is a KMP as at the time Items 5(a), 5(b), 6(a), 6(b), 7 and 8 are voted on at the AGM (or any respective closely related party). However, the Company need not disregard a vote on the resolutions proposed in Items 5(a), 5(b), 6(a), 6(b), 7 and 8 if it is cast: • by a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Item, in accordance with the directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the Item in that way; • by the Chair of the AGM as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Item, in accordance with a direction given to the Chair to vote on the Item as the Chair decides; or • by a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary, provided the following conditions are met: – the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the Item; and – the holder votes on the Item in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

This restriction on voting undirected proxies does not apply to the Chair of the AGM acting as a proxy for a person entitled to vote on Items 5(a), 5(b), 6(a), 6(b), 7 and 8 because the Company’s proxy appointment expressly authorises the Chair of the AGM to exercise undirected proxies.

VOTING EXCLUSIONS

Mesoblast Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2023 7 Explanatory Memorandum relating to the 2023 Notice of Annual General Meeting This Explanatory Memorandum accompanies and forms part of the Notice of AGM. ITEMS OF BUSINESS Item 1 - Receipt and Consideration of Financial Statements and Reports The laws in Australia require the Company’s financial statements and reports for the last financial year just ended to be presented to the AGM. This Item does not require a formal resolution to be put at the AGM. Rather, this agenda Item is intended to provide shareholders with the opportunity to raise questions on the financial statements and reports contained in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report, and on the performance of the Company generally. Shareholders should note that the financial statements and reports will be received in the form presented. It is not the purpose of the meeting for the financial statements and reports to be accepted, rejected or modified in any way. There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) or in the constitution of the Company for shareholders to approve the financial report, the Directors’ report or the Auditor’s report. Item 2 - Adoption of the Remuneration Report Under the Corporations Act, the Company is required to include in the Directors’ Report a detailed Remuneration Report setting out certain prescribed information relating to Directors’ and Executives’ remuneration, and submit this for adoption by resolution of shareholders at the AGM. The Remuneration Report is set out on pages 101 to 124 of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report. A copy of the 2023 Annual Report can be found on the Company’s website at https://mesoblast.com/agm2023 or by contacting the Company’s share registry, Link Market Services. As outlined in the Remuneration Report, the Company’s market valuation has been impacted by the recent FDA decision announced on 4 August 2023, resulting in a Mesoblast share price lower than the comparative time last year. To support the Company’s investment in priority research and development programs, and to preserve cash, the Company is implementing a number of costs containment and deferment strategies, including the following changes to remuneration: • Dr Silviu Itescu, Chief Executive Officer, and Dr Eric Rose, Chief Medical Officer, have volunteered to reduce their base salary by 30% for a 12-month period from 1 September 2023 to 30 August 2024. In compensation for the reduction in cash pay, an option grant is proposed (subject to shareholder approval of Item 5(b) and Item 6(b) respectively) which will increase their equity-based pay, further aligning their interests to those of shareholders. • Cash payment of the STI relating to the financial year ended 30 June 2023 has been deferred and is dependent on FDA approval. • Non-Executive Directors have voluntarily deferred 50% of the cash payments for their director fees and agreed to receive the remaining 50% of their fees in equity-based incentives, subject to shareholder approval (Item 7). No cash payments to Non-Executive Directors will be made until the Company receives an approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Remuneration Report further provides: • an explanation of the Company’s remuneration strategy and guiding principles; • an explanation of the Company’s policies in relation to the nature and amount of the remuneration of the KMP; • a description of the relationship between such policies and the Company’s performance; • if an element of remuneration is performance based, an explanation why the performance conditions were chosen and how performance is measured against those conditions; and • remuneration details for the KMP.

8 Mesoblast Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2023 During this Item, there will be an opportunity for shareholders at the meeting to comment on and ask questions about the Remuneration Report, and shareholders are asked to adopt the Remuneration Report. The vote on the resolution in this Item is advisory only and will not bind the Directors or the Company. The Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing remuneration practices and policies of the Company. Recommendation Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company (as described in the Remuneration Report), and that each Director (or any closely related party of a Director) is excluded from voting their shares on Item 2 (as described in the “Voting Exclusions” section above), the Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Item 2 to adopt the Remuneration Report. Item 3 – Amendment to the Company’s Constitution The proposed amendment to the Company’s constitution is intended to provide the Directors with greater flexibility to determine which Director(s) should retire and stand for re-election in circumstances where the ASX Listing Rules require an election of Director(s) and no Director is due to stand for election. In effect, it allows the Board to consider the skillset of Directors and assists with the alignment of Director skillsets with the needs of the Company when determining which existing Director should stand for election. Without the proposed change, the choice of retiring Director is not necessarily based on the Company’s needs. Under the unamended constitution, for an AGM where no Director’s 3 year term is due to end, the Director who must retire must be the Director who has been longest in office since their last election by shareholders, even if there are good reasons for an alternative Director to retire by rotation instead. The proposed amendment does not affect the obligation of each Director (with the exception of the Managing Director) not to hold office for a continuous period in excess of 3 years or until the third AGM following the Director’s last election, whichever is the longer, without submitting for re-election. A marked copy of the Company’s constitution showing the proposed change is available on the Company’s website (https://mesoblast.com/agm2023), with the proposed new text underlined in blue and deleted text struck out in red. An extract of the change (in mark-up) is extracted below for ease of reference. Physical copies of the proposed amendments Copies of the Company’s constitution showing the proposed change are also available by telephoning the Company’s Share Registry, Link Market Services, on +61 1300 554 474 and requesting a copy of the document (free of charge). A copy of the proposed amended Constitution will also be available for inspection by shareholders at the AGM. How must the proposed amended constitution be approved? This resolution is a special resolution, and accordingly, must be approved by at least 75 per cent of the votes cast by shareholders present (whether in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative) and entitled to vote on this resolution. Recommendation The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Item 3. EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM Page 33 63.3 If the conduct or position of any Director is such that continuance in office appears to the majority of the Directors to be prejudicial to the interests of the Company, a majority of Directors at a meeting of the Directors specifically called for that purpose may suspend that Director. 63.4 A suspended Director may not take any part in the business or affairs of the Company until the suspension has been terminated. 63.5 Within 14 days of the suspension of a Director, the Directors must call a general meeting, at which the M mbers may consider a resolution to remove the Di tor from office. 63.6 If a resolution to remove a suspended Director from office is not carried at the general meeting called to consider the matter, the suspension of the Director is terminated and the Director is reinstated in his or her office. 64. Additional and casual Directors 64.1 Subject to clause 61, only the Directors may appoint any person as a Director to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors. 64.2 Unless the Director is the Managing Director and the ASX Listing Rules do not require that Director to be subject to retirement as set out in this clause, a Director appointed under clause 64.1 will hold office until the end of the next annual gen ral meeting of the Company, at which the Director may be re-elected. 65. Retirement of Directors 65.1 No Director, who is not the Managing Director, may hold office for a continuous period in excess of three years or until the third annual general meeting following the Director's appointment or election, whichever is the longer, without submitting for re-election. If no such Director would be required to submit for re-election but the ASX Listing Rules require an election of Directors to be held, the Director to retire will be as agreed by the Directors among themselves or, failing agreement, determined by lot. If no such director would be required to submit for re-election but the ASX Listing Rules require an election of Directors to be held, the Director to retire will be the Director who has been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, the one to retire will (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot. 65.2 A retiring Director remains in office until the end of the meeting at which the Director retires or vacates office, and will be eligible for re-election at the meeting. 66. Eligibility for election as Director 66.1 A person is eligible for election to the office of a Director at a general meeting only if: (a) the person is in office as a Director immediately before the meeting; (b) the person has been nominated by the Directors for election at that meeting; (c) where the person is a Member, the person has, at least 35 Business Days but no more th n 90 Busin s Days before the meeting, given the Company a notice signed by the person stating the person's desire to be a candidate for election at the meeting; or (d) where the person is not a Member, a Member intending to nominate the person for election at that meeting has, at least 35 Business Days but no more than 90 Business Days before the meeting, given the Company a notice signed by the Members stating the Member's intention to nominate the person for election, and a notice signed by the person stating the person's conse t to the nominati n.

10 Mesoblast Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2023 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM Item 5 – Approval of Proposed Issue of Options to Chief Executive Officer, Dr Silviu Itescu a) Proposed Issue of Options to Dr Silviu Itescu in Connection with his Long-Term Incentive Remuneration for the 2023/2024 Financial Year As detailed in the Remuneration Report set out on pages 101-124 of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report, the CEO’s remuneration framework includes a long-term incentives (LTI) component which is maximum of 200% of fixed remuneration in the form of options over fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. This framework is aligned with biotechnology peers in key markets for biotechnology personnel, which have a large proportion of remuneration in LTI, therefore strongly aligning outcomes with those of shareholders. Given the Company’s reduction in share price this year, the Board together with the CEO chose to exercise moderation when determining the value for the LTI component of the CEO’s remuneration for the 2023/2024 financial year, and reduced the LTI to less than 30% of the maximum of 200%. Shareholders are asked to approve the issue of 2,420,000 milestone-based options to Dr Silviu Itescu, CEO, under the Employee Share Option Plan, which constitute the LTI component of Dr Itescu’s remuneration for the 2023/2024 financial year. Vesting of these options is subject to the achievement of specified milestones determined by the Board, as well as minimum holding periods from grant. Vesting for the proposed issue of options will be contingent on achievement of the following milestones, being: • LTI Clinical Milestones – 70% (1,694,000 options): regulatory and clinical milestones in relation to the remestemcel-L and rexlemestrocel-L platforms; and • LTI Financial/Business Milestones – 30% (726,000 options): financial and business development milestones in relation to the remestemcel-L and rexlemestrocel-L platforms. Due to their commercially sensitive nature, the Company intends to provide further details related to the above performance metrics in the annual report following the achievement of the relevant milestones. It is noted that the milestones may be deemed by the Board to have been only partially met, in which case not all of the grant amounts may vest. The options are also subject to minimum holding periods, whereby they are eligible for vesting in three equal tranches subject to the achievement of the above milestones, on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. Dr Itescu will only realise value from the options if the milestones are achieved, and the share price of the Company exceeds the option exercise price (set based on the share price when the Board approved the grant of the options). The 2,420,000 milestone-based options will be issued to Dr Itescu in accordance with the Employee Share Option Plan, the terms and conditions of which are described in this Explanatory Memorandum at pages 14 to 17. b) Proposed Issue of Options to Dr Silviu Itescu in Lieu of 30% of Base Salary Shareholders are asked to approve the issue of 1,273,070 time-based options to Dr Itescu in lieu of 30% of his base salary for the 12-month period from 1 September 2023 to 30 August 2024. Dr Itescu has volunteered this reduction in his base salary as a cash preservation strategy, and the use of equity in lieu of cash further increases his alignment with the interests of shareholders. The number of time-based options was determined using the Black Scholes valuation methodology such that the option valuation is equivalent to the 30% base salary reduction. The options will be issued to Dr Itescu in accordance with the Employee Share Option Plan. Key terms applying to these time-based options are summarised below: (i) These options will vest in three equal tranches, with a tranche vesting on each of the six month, nine month and one year anniversaries of the grant date, and an expiry date of seven years from the grant date; (ii) If Dr Itescu is a ‘Leaver’, he will retain all vested options subject to the expiry date. A holder will be a ‘Leaver’ where they cease to be a Director and employee of the Company in circumstances where they are not a ‘Bad Leaver’ (and a ‘Leaver’ will include someone who resigns or retires from the Board); and (iii) Other than as set out above, the terms and conditions of these time-based options are described in this Explanatory Memorandum at pages 14 to 17. ASX Listing Rule 10.15 requires that the meeting documents concerning a proposed resolution to approve an issue of equity securities, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14, must include certain information. To minimise repetition, the required information for this Item 5 is set out below in this Explanatory Memorandum at pages 12 to 14. Recommendation The Directors (with Dr Itescu abstaining) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Item 5(a) and Item 5(b).

Mesoblast Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2023 11 Item 6 - Approval of Proposed Issue of Options to Chief Medical Officer, Dr Eric Rose a) Proposed Issue of Options to Dr Eric Rose in Connection with his Long-Term Incentive Remuneration for the 2023/2024 Financial Year As detailed in the Remuneration Report set out on pages 101-124 of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report, the CMO’s remuneration framework includes a LTI component which is a maximum of 100% of fixed remuneration in the form of options over fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. This framework is aligned with biotechnology peers in key markets for biotechnology personnel, which have a large proportion of remuneration in LTI, therefore strongly aligning outcomes with those of shareholders. Given the Company’s reduction in share price this year, the Board chose to exercise moderation when determining the value for the LTI component of the CMO’s remuneration for the 2023/2024 financial year and reduced the LTI to less than 30% of the maximum of 100%. Shareholders are accordingly asked to approve the issue of 740,000 milestone-based options to Dr Eric Rose under the Employee Share Option Plan, which constitute the LTI component of Dr Rose’s remuneration for the 2023/2024 financial year. Vesting of these options is subject to the achievement of specified milestones determined by the Board, as well as minimum holding periods from grant. Vesting for the proposed issue of options will be contingent on achievement of the following milestones, being: • LTI Clinical Milestones – 80% (592,000 options): regulatory and clinical milestones in relation to the remestemcel-L and rexlemestrocel-L platforms; and • LTI Corporate Milestones – 20% (148,000 options): strategic corporate partnership milestones in relation to the remestemcel-L and rexlemestrocel-L platforms. Due to their commercially sensitive nature, the Company intends to provide further details related to the above performance metrics in the annual report following the achievement of the relevant milestones. It is noted that the milestones may be deemed by the Board to have been only partially met, in which case not all of the grant amount may vest. The options are also subject to minimum holding periods, whereby they are eligible for vesting in three equal tranches subject to the vesting of the above milestones, on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. Dr Rose will only realise value from the options in the event that the milestones are achieved, and the share price of the Company exceeds the options exercise price (set based on the share price when the Board approved the grant of the options). The 740,000 milestone-based options will be issued to Dr Rose in accordance with the Employee Share Option Plan, the terms and conditions of which are described in this Explanatory Memorandum at pages 14 to 17. b) Proposed Issue of Options to Dr Eric Rose in Lieu of 30% Base Salary Shareholders are asked to approve the issue of 1,220,765 time-based options to Dr Eric Rose in lieu of 30% of his base salary for the 12-month period from 1 September 2023 to 30 August 2024. Dr Rose has volunteered this reduction in his base salary as a cash preservation strategy, and the use of equity in lieu of cash further increases his alignment with the interests of shareholders. The number of time-based options was determined using the Black Scholes valuation methodology such that the option valuation is equivalent to the 30% base salary reduction. The options will be issued to Dr Rose in accordance with the Employee Share Option Plan. Key terms applying to these time-based options are summarised below: (i) These options will vest in three equal tranches, with a tranche vesting on each of the six month, nine month and one year anniversaries of the grant date, and an expiry date of seven years from the grant date; (ii) If Dr Rose is a ‘Leaver’, he will retain all vested options subject to the expiry date. A holder will be a ‘Leaver’ where they cease to be a Director and employee of the Company in circumstances where they are not a ‘Bad Leaver’ (and a ‘Leaver’ will include someone who resigns or retires from the Board); and (iii) Other than as set out above, the terms and conditions of these time-based options are described in this Explanatory Memorandum at pages 14 to 17. Recommendation The Directors (with Dr Rose abstaining) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Item 6(a) and Item 6(b). EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Mesoblast Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2023 15 Vesting conditions, expiry dates, exercise price and share acquisition price Options are issued to eligible participants with each option entitling the holder to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary share in the Company on exercise. The Exercise Conditions (i.e. vesting conditions), expiry date and exercise price of options are determined by the Board in its discretion at the time of issue of the options. The Company typically issues options under the Employee Share Option Plan on the following basis: • options issued are either time-based vesting or milestone- based vesting, or both, depending on the eligible participant’s role. Time-based options vest in three equal tranches, with a tranche vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the issue date. Milestone-based options vest upon achievement of pre-specified performance milestones; • options have an expiry date of seven years from date of issue; and • the exercise price of options is the higher of (i) the volume weighted average share price of the five ASX trading days up to the date the Board approved the grant, and (ii) the last closing price of an ordinary share on the ASX at Board approval. The Employee Share Option Plan includes a provision that confirms the Board’s discretion, subject to the Listing Rules, to amend Exercise Conditions of options that are issued under the ESOP to ensure long term incentives can continue to incentivise executives in alignment with the Company’s strategy, which may need to pivot from time to time given the development stage of the Company. Treatment of options on cessation of employment Cessation of employment as a Leaver. If a participant in the Employee Share Option Plan ceases employment, unless the Board determines that the participant is a ‘Bad Leaver’, then: (a) the participant may retain vested options, however, subject to (b) and (c) below, they must be exercised within 60 days of cessation of employment (or within a longer period if so determined by the Board), after which time the options will lapse; (b) if the cessation of employment occurs while the Company has a share trading black out period in place, unless the Board determines otherwise, within 60 days after (but not before) the end of the share trading black out period (or within a longer period if so determined by the Board), after which time the options will lapse; (c) if at the time of ceasing employment or at any later time before the ‘Leaver’ exercises options, the ‘Leaver’ is or becomes an ‘Insider’, then, despite any other rule of the Employee Share Option Plan, but subject to a contrary determination by the Board: (i) the ‘Leaver’ must not exercise any vested options while they are an ‘Insider’; and (ii) the ‘Leaver’ may exercise all or any of their vested options within 60 days after the Company notifies the ‘Leaver’ and the ‘Leaver’ has ceased to be an ‘Insider’; EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

16 Mesoblast Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2023 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM (d) subject to (e), below, any unvested options will normally be forfeited and lapse unless the Board determines otherwise; and (e) in relation to options held by a person who held a managerial or executive office in the Company or a related body corporate of the Company at any time during the last 3 years before the person became a ‘Leaver’, unless the Board in its sole and absolute discretion determines otherwise (in which event they will be forfeited and lapse), unvested options will continue and vest when, in the Board’s sole and absolute discretion, any exercise conditions of the options are satisfied with that vesting to be on a pro rata basis over the relevant period. A ‘Leaver’ means a participant who ceases employment (or their consultancy) with the Company and who is not a Bad Leaver. A Leaver will include a participant who ceases employment or their consultancy with the Company due to resignation or retirement but would not usually include a participant who ceases employment (or their consultancy with the Company) and who, with the prior approval of the Company’s Nomination and Remuneration Committee, becomes within 60 Business Days a consultant (or employee) with the Company or a related body corporate of the Company. An ‘Insider’ means a person who possesses (for the purposes of Division 3 of Part 7.10 of the Corporations Act) inside information (as defined in section 1042A of the Corporations Act) in relation to the Company or any or its securities. Cessation of employment as a Bad Leaver. If a participant in the Employee Share Option Plan ceases employment, and the Board determines that the participant is a ‘Bad Leaver’, all rights, entitlements and interests in any unexercised options (whether vested or unvested) held by the participant will lapse immediately. A ‘Bad Leaver’ is a participant who ceases to be employed by the Company where the Board determines that the participant has: • committed any serious or persistent breach of any provisions of employment; • been convicted of any criminal offence which involves fraud or dishonesty; • engaged in any conduct which brings the Company into substantial disrepute; • committed any wrongful or negligent act or omission which has caused the Company substantial liability; • engaged in grave misconduct or recklessness in the discharge of the participant’s duties; • become disqualified from managing corporations in accordance with Part 2D.6 of the Corporations Act or has committed any act that, pursuant to the Corporations Act, may result in the participant being banned from managing a corporation; or • engaged in any other conduct which the Board reasonably considers to be analogous to, or having a substantially similar seriousness to, any of the circumstances specified above.

Mesoblast Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2023 17 Change of control Unvested options vest on a ‘Control Event’, whether or not any of all applicable Exercise Conditions (i.e. vesting conditions) have been met, unless the Board otherwise determines. A ‘Control Event’ means any of the following: • an offer is made by a person for the whole of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (or any part as is not at the time owned by the offeror or any person acting in concert with the offeror) and after announcement of the offer the offeror (being a person who did not Control the Company prior to the offer) acquires Control of the Company; • any other event occurs which causes a change in Control of the Company; or • any other event which the Board reasonably considers should be regarded as a Control Event. ‘Control’ of an entity means having the right to: • vote 50% (or more) of the votes that can be cast at a meeting of shareholders; • appoint or remove directors who possess 50% (or more) of the votes exercisable by all directors of the entity; or • 50% (or more) of the profits or distributions of the entity or of its net liquidation proceeds. Cash settlement or buy-back of options or shares The Board has discretion to cash settle or buy-back options or shares issued on the exercise of options, including, but not limited to, as an alternative to delivering shares on the exercise of options. The cash settlement amount in respect of options will be determined by reference to the market value of the options at the relevant time or an amount agreed with the option holder. Lapsing of options Either the Company or an option holder may request that the option holder’s options lapse for no consideration. Amendments and administration Subject to the ASX Listing Rules, the rules of the Employee Share Option Plan may be amended or supplemented by resolution of the Board. Unless the resolution of the Board expressly states otherwise, any amendment or supplement will not apply to any options granted which have not yet been exercised. The Employee Share Option Plan is managed by the Board or its delegate which has powers including to determine appropriate procedures for the administration of the Employee Share Option Plan, and to determine matters falling for determination under the Employee Share Option Plan in its discretion having regard to the interests of and for the benefit of the Company. The Employee Share Option Plan may be terminated at any time at the discretion of the Board and no compensation under any employment contract will arise as a result. Addendum for US participants The Plan includes an Addendum that supplements the rules of the Plan and makes certain variations to the rules for Eligible Employees who are US federal taxpayers and/or residents in the US, to take into account tax and regulatory requirements in the US as they relate to stock options. The Addendum prevails over the other Plan rules with respect to options granted to US participants, to the extent of any inconsistency. EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Mesoblast Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2023 21 Item 8 – Approval of Proposed Issue of Options to Director, Dr Philip Krause Shareholders are asked to approve the issue of issue of 985,000 milestone-based options to Dr Philip Krause, Director, under the Employee Share Option Plan, which constitute part of his consultancy fees in connection with Dr Krause’s continuing engagement as a consultant to the Company through his company. Vesting of these options is subject to the achievement of specified milestones determined by the Board as noted below, as well as minimum holding periods from grant. Vesting for 100% of the proposed issue of options will be contingent on achievement of certain regulatory milestones in relation to the remestemcel-L and rexlemestrocel-L platforms. Due to their commercially sensitive nature, the Company intends to provide further details related to the above performance metrics in the annual report following the achievement of the relevant milestones. It is noted that the milestones may be deemed by the Board to have been only partially met, in which case not all of the grant amount may vest. The options are also subject to minimum holding periods, whereby they are eligible for vesting in three equal tranches subject to the vesting of the above milestones, on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. Dr Krause will only realise value from the options in the event that the milestones are achieved, and the share price of the Company exceeds the options exercise price (set based on the share price when the Board approved the grant of the options). The 985,000 milestone-based options will be issued to Dr Krause in accordance with the Employee Share Option Plan, the terms and conditions of which are described in this Explanatory Memorandum at pages 14 to 17. ASX Listing Rule 10.15 requires that the meeting documents concerning a proposed resolution to approve an issue of equity securities, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14, must include the information below: The name and category which the person falls within in Listing Rule 10.14.1 – 10.14.3 and why Dr Philip Krause is a Director of the Company. The number and class of securities proposed to be issued to the person The total number of options that may be issued to Dr Krause is 985,000 milestone-based options. If the person is a director, the details (including the amount) of the director's current total remuneration package Dr Krause receives a monthly cash retainer together with the proposed 985,000 milestone-based options as consultancy fees for the 12 months commencing on 1 October 2023. Dr Krause no longer receives director fees for his services as a director of the Company. The number of securities that have previously been issued to the person under the scheme and the average acquisition price (if any) paid by the person for those securities Dr Krause has a total of 200,000 outstanding options that were previously issued under the Employee Share Option Plan. The previous grant has the following exercise price: A$1.01 (200,000 options) If the securities are not fully paid ordinary shares, a summary of the material terms of the securities, an explanation of why that type of security is being used and the value attributed to that security and its basis The options issued to Dr Krause will have terms and conditions attaching to the Employee Share Option Plan which are described in this Explanatory Memorandum at pages 14 to 17. Options have been selected as the instrument for the consultancy fees because they conserve cash, align with shareholder interests, and focus on ensuring a strategy, risk management, and execution that optimizes shareholder value. The value attributed to each option is calculated using the Black Scholes formula, based on the 5-day VWAP up to the date of Board approval of the options and is A$0.24 per option. The date or dates on or by which the Company will issue the securities to the person under the scheme which must not be later than 3 years after the date of this meeting If Item 8 is approved by shareholders, the corresponding options will be issued no later than 12 months after this meeting.

If Item 8 is approved by shareholders, then in accordance with Exception 14 in ASX Listing Rule 7.2, and Exception 8 in ASX Listing Rule 10.12, an issue of securities made with the approval of the holders of an entity’s ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 operates as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 10.11 respectively.

Mesoblast Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2023 23 Item 9 - Ratification of Issue of Securities to Institutional Investors The Company is seeking the approval of shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes, in respect of the issue of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (Shares) that was made by the Company resulting from the private placement announced to the ASX on 26 April 2023 (which summarises the material terms of the relevant agreement under which the Shares were issued), as set out in the table below. Persons to whom the issue was made The Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors under a private placement led by a strategic US investor group. Date of issue of Shares 1 May 2023. Number of Shares issued 77,083,607. Issue price per Share A$0.85 per Share. Class and material terms of Shares issued Fully paid ordinary shares ranking equally with all other existing fully paid ordinary shares. Use of the funds raised Funds raised from the Shares have and will be used for: • commercialisation of the Company’s lead product, remestemcel-L in the treatment of children with steroid- refractory acute graft versus host disease (SR-aGVHD) subject to approval by the US Food & Drug Administration; • ongoing manufacturing activities; and • initiation of patient enrolment in the confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trial of rexlemestrocel-L for chronic low back pain associated with degenerative disc disease. The issue of the above Shares (in this Item 9) was within the 15% limitation imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Company may not issue equity securities in excess of 15% of its share capital in any 12-month rolling period without shareholder approval, unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 applies. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 permits a company to obtain subsequent approval of a prior issue of securities from its shareholders. Such subsequent approval means the prior issue of securities is treated as having been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and thereby refreshes the Company’s ability in the future to issue up to 15% of its share capital without obtaining prior shareholder approval to the extent of the number of Shares being approved under this resolution. If the resolution in Item 9 is not passed, the issue of the relevant Shares noted above will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 months following the issue date for those Shares. As noted above, shareholder approval is now being sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4. Recommendation The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Item 9.
