Slide 1: Welcome

Good afternoon everyone. As it is now 3:00pm, I declare this 'Scheme Meeting' of Quantum Health Group Limited open.

Slide 2: Introductions

My name is Drew Townsend. I am the chair and a non-executive director of Quantum Health Group Limited and will be chairing the meeting today.

I am joined by my fellow directors John Walstab, Alan McCarthy and Stephanie Wen.

Also present via the online link are:

  • Alex Musgrave from Boardroom Pty Limited, who has been appointed returning officer to conduct the polling for this meeting;

I note that we have a quorum present.

All attendees can watch a live webcast of the meeting via the Zoom link. In addition, shareholders and proxyholders have the ability to ask questions and submit votes.

If we experience any technical issues during today's meeting that results in a significant number of shareholders being unable to reasonably participate, I will adjourn this meeting.

Slide 4: How to vote

I would also like to briefly summarise the voting procedures which apply to this meeting.

Voting today will be conducted by way of a poll. The results of the poll will be tallied and announced via the ASX platform as soon as the result are available. In order to provide you with enough time to vote, polling on the Scheme Resolution is open now.

If you are eligible to vote at this meeting, a new polling icon will appear. Selecting this icon will bring up the Scheme Resolution and present you with voting options.

To cast your vote simply select one of the options. There is no need to hit a 'submit' or 'enter' button as the vote is automatically recorded.

You do however have the ability to change your vote, up until the time I declare voting closed at the end of the meeting.

As Chair, I will vote all available proxies in favour of the Scheme Resolution and during the meeting we will display the number of proxy votes received prior to the meeting in relation to the Scheme Resolution.

After the meeting closes, your votes will be counted by our registry, Boardroom, and the results will be lodged on the ASX as soon as available today.

Slide 5: Scheme summary

As you know, this meeting has been convened to consider a proposed scheme of arrangement by which Paragon Care Limited will acquire all of the shares in Quantum from its shareholders.

A detailed Scheme Booklet, including a copy of the Independent Expert's Report prepared by Leadenhall Corporate Advisory Pty, was sent to shareholders in December 2021. That Scheme Booklet provided shareholders with a detailed overview of the proposal, and I will take it as read.

By way of update, I am pleased to confirm that:

  • Quantum is not aware of any circumstances which would prevent the conditions precedent to the Scheme from being satisfied or (if necessary) waived; and
  • we remain on track to meet the indicative timetable disclosed in the Scheme Booklet.

Quantum's directors are of the unanimous opinion that the Scheme is in the best interests of shareholders. Accordingly, we unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the Scheme. Each director with an interest in shares in Quantum, being myself and John Walstab, intend to vote in favour of the Scheme.

Our recommendations and intentions have, to date, been subject to two qualifications:

  • Firstly, that there is no superior proposal. I can confirm that since the announcement of the Scheme on 8 November 2021, no superior proposal has emerged.
  • The second is that the Independent Expert, concludes, and continues to conclude, that the Scheme is in the best interests of Quantum shareholders. As you will have seen in the Scheme Booklet, the Independent Expert concluded that the Scheme is in the best interests of

Quantum Shareholders - and it has not communicated any change to that conclusion since then.

If the Scheme Resolution is passed today, the Second Court Hearing is currently scheduled to be held at 3:00pm on Tuesday, 1 February 2022. If the Court approves the Scheme, a copy of the Court order approving the Scheme will be lodged with ASIC and the Scheme will become Effective.

On the Implementation Date, which, if the Scheme Resolution is passed and Court approval is obtained, is currently expected to be 16 February 2022, all Quantum Shares will be transferred to Paragon and all Scheme Shareholders will receive the Scheme Consideration, being 0.243 Consideration Shares per Scheme Share.

Slide 6: Scheme Resolution

The Scheme Resolution for consideration today is set out in the notice of meeting included in the Scheme Booklet. The wording is also set out on the screen, and I will take a moment to read it in full:
