2021 OVT AGM

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 31st Annual General Meeting of our company and our fifth meeting in this COVID-safe virtual format.

My name is Michael Hannan, the Chairman of Ovato and I will chair the meeting today.

Alistair Clarkson, the company secretary has advised me that we are in compliance with our quorum requirements. As the time is past 11.00am, I have the pleasure of declaring this meeting open.

Given the continued uncertainty around the 're-opening' of NSW at the time of planning this meeting we decided early to hold this meeting as a virtual one via the Lumi platform. The platform allows you, shareholders, proxies and guests to attend the meeting virtually. All attendees can watch a live webcast of the meeting. In addition, shareholders and proxies can ask questions and submit votes.

The Board is here today to report on the performance of Ovato for the financial year ended June 30, 2021 and to discuss the strategy we will continue to implement this year.

At today's meeting there will be two methods for asking questions and making comments. You will be able to submit written questions at any time throughout the meeting. To submit a written question, press on the speech bubble icon in the top menu bar on your screen. It is central on the mobile screen or centre of the left column if you are on a computer screen Clicking on this opens a new screen. At the bottom of that screen, there is a section for you to type your question. Once you have finished typing please press the arrow symbol to send. It would be helpful if you indicate at the beginning of your question the agenda item to which your question relates.

For those shareholders who wish to ask a verbal question, an audio questions facility is available during this meeting. To ask a question verbally, please pause the broadcast on the Lumi platform and then click on the link under "Asking audio questions". A new page will open where you will be prompted to enter your name and the topic of your question before being connected. You will listen to the meeting on this page while waiting to ask your question. If you have any issues using this system, please return to the Lumi platform.

Please note that you can submit questions or comments from now on, and all questions, written or verbal will be addressed at the relevant time, later in the meeting. Please also note that your written questions may be moderated or, if there are multiple questions on one topic, amalgamated together.

I encourage shareholders to submit questions and comments as early as possible and these will be addressed before voting on the resolutions.

Voting today will be conducted by way of a poll on each item of business.

If you are eligible to vote at this meeting, a new polling icon will appear in the bar to the right of the question icon. Selecting this icon will bring up a list of resolutions and present you with voting options. To cast your vote, simply select one of the options (for, against, abstain). There is no need to press a submit or enter button as the vote is automatically recorded.

You can change your vote at any stage, up until the time I declare the voting closed.

Votes will be recorded as the state they are left in at that point.

I now declare voting open on all items of business. Please submit your votes at any time. I will provide ample notice prior to the close of voting.

Shareholders are reminded that your Board strongly recommends that you vote FOR all resolutions.

I appoint Nigel Bulling of Computershare Investor Services to be returning
