Explanatory Statement

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

The Corporations Act 2001 requires the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report to be laid before the Annual General Meeting. In addition LandMark White’s constitution provides for such reports to be received and considered at the meeting. Apart from the matters involving remuneration which are required to be voted upon, neither the Corporations Act 2001 nor LandMark White’s constitution requires shareholders to vote on such reports.

However shareholders will be given ample opportunity to ask questions or make comments about these reports and the management at the meeting. Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor’s report. In addition to asking questions at the meeting, shareholders may address written questions to the Company’s Auditor which are relevant to:

  • the content of the Auditor’s Report to be considered at the meeting; or

  • the conduct of the audit of the annual financial report to be considered at the meeting.

Any written questions must be submitted to the Company Secretary before 5.00 pm (Sydney time) 17th November 2015 by email, fax or post. Address details are:

Fax Number: 02 8823 6399

Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 requires listed companies to put forward a resolution for adoption of the remuneration report at the company’s AGM. The remuneration report is set out in the Directors’ Report on pages 10 to 16 of the Annual Report.

The Board was increased in size during the 2015 financial year to retain the experience and knowledge of previous CEO Brad Piltz as a non-executive Director. However the Board reduced the total remuneration of Brad Piltz and Glen White from $69,000 p.a. each to $40,000 p.a. each. The Board have also decided to

Page 3

LANDMARK WHITE LIMITED NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

maintain the remuneration levels of all its directors at 2015 levels for the 2016 Financial Year.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the meeting.

The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company

Under changes to the Corporations Act with the introduction of Division 9 of Part 2G.2 (which came into effect on 1 July 2011), if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at both this and the 2016 Annual General Meetings, the Company will be required to put to shareholders at the Company’s 2016 Annual General Meeting a resolution (Spill Resolution) proposing the calling of another general meeting (Spill Meeting) to consider the appointment of Directors of the Company.

If the Spill Resolution is put to the vote at the Company’s 2016 Annual General Meeting, and more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company is required to convene the Spill Meeting within 90 days of the Company’s 2016 Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors other than the Managing Director who were in office when the Company’s 2016 Directors’ Report was approved will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for reelection at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting, those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company. Please note that should such a spill resolution be passed it will result in additional costs to the Company and all shareholders including Key Management Personnel and associates are able to vote on re-election of Directors.

Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Glen White as Director

Under clause 16 of the constitution of LandMark White Limited, one third of the current Directors (excluding the Managing Director, any Director appointed under clause 13.2 and any Director who has vacated his/her office under clause 15.1) must retire by rotation at each annual general meeting. There are currently 3 non-executive Directors. Under clause 16.2 the Directors to retire are those who have been longest in office since last being elected. Mr Glen White is the longest director in office since last being elected.

A summary of Mr Glen White’s experience and qualifications appears below.

Recommendation

The Board of LandMark White, other than Mr Glen

White, being subject to re-election, recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution to re-elect Mr Glen White.

Mr Glen J White – appointed 26 September 2002 Member of remuneration and audit committees

The co-founder of LandMark White’s practice, Mr White was a registered valuer with over 40 years experience in the real estate industry throughout Queensland and New South Wales. Working in both the public and private sectors, Mr White commenced his valuation career in 1968 and gained experience with the Queensland Lands Department, National Mutual Life Association and with a private valuation firm before working in the Queensland practice that has become LandMark White since the 1980’s. Mr White was previously a fellow of the Australian Property Institute, now retired.

Resolution 3 – Grant of Performance Rights to the Managing Director, CEO, Chris Nicholl

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the granting of 250,000 Performance Rights to Managing Director, CEO, Chris Nicholl, under the LMW Group Performance Rights and Option Plan (the “Plan”) subject to the terms and conditions of the November 2015 Invitation for Performance Rights.

Shareholder approval is also being sought for the pro rata vesting of the Performance Rights granted to Mr Nicholl in the event that Mr Nicholl ceases employment with the Company in certain circumstances.

Why Shareholder approval is being sought

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 states that a listed company must not permit a Director to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without Shareholder approval, by ordinary resolution. The purpose of Resolution 3(i) is to have Shareholders approve the proposed grant of Performance Rights to Mr Nicholl, pursuant to the Plan and the November 2015 Invitation for Performance Rights terms and conditions.

In addition, the Company seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to section 200E of the Corporations Act for the pro rata vesting of the Performance Rights granted to Mr Nicholl in the event that Mr Nicholl ceases to be employed by the Company in limited circumstances, as specified in the terms of the November 2015 Invitation for Performance Rights. These circumstances include redundancy, death or permanent disability.

Under sections 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with their ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in the company if it is approved by shareholders under section 200E of the Corporations

Page 4

LANDMARK WHITE LIMITED NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Act or an exemption applies. The term “benefit” may include the pro rata vesting of Performance Rights in the limited circumstances outlined above where Mr Nicholl ceases to be employed by the Company. This pro rata vesting of Mr Nicholl’s Performance Rights, in these circumstances, may amount to the giving of a termination benefit requiring Shareholder approval, and as such, approval is sought for these purposes.

The number of Performance Rights that may vest on a pro-rata basis on cessation of Mr Nicholl’s employment can be calculated by:

(Date of Grant – Date of termination)(in days) (Date of Grant – Intended Vesting Date)(in days)

X

No. of Performance Rights held on cessation

The value of the Performance Rights may be affected by:

  • the market price of Company Shares at the time the employment ceases;

  • the exercise price applicable to the Performance Rights;

  • the performance against the performance hurdles at the time the employment ceases;

  • the part of the service period has elapsed at the time the employment ceases; and

  • the number of Performance Rights that lapse on cessation of employment.

Long term incentive arrangements and the grant of Performance Rights to Mr Nicholl

In accordance with the Company’s existing policies relating to remuneration which apply to all of the Company’s executives, Mr Nicholl has been reviewed under the Company’s performance review process. The outcome of that review was that the Company should issue Performance Rights, pursuant to the Plan and the November 2015 Invitation for Performance Rights to Mr Nicholl. As outlined previously, Shareholder approval must be sought, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14, for the grant of these Performance Rights to Mr Nicholl.

The remuneration arrangements for Mr Nicholl are based on the Company’s ‘Total Annual Reward’ (“TAR”) framework. TAR seeks to provide fair and appropriate rewards, comprised of fixed and ‘at risk’ elements designed to attract, retain and motivate employees. The provision of Performance Rights under the November 2015 Invitation for Performance Rights comprises a substantial component of this ‘at risk’ remuneration.

The Non-executive Directors of the Remuneration Committee have concluded that the remuneration package for Mr Nicholl (including the proposed grant of Performance Rights) is reasonable and appropriate having regard to the circumstances of the Company and Mr Nicholl’s duties and responsibilities. For full details of Mr Nicholl’s other remuneration entitlements please refer to the 2015 Annual Report.

Maximum number of Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Nicholl

If Shareholder approval is granted, the maximum number of Performance Rights that may be granted to Mr Nicholl is 250,000.

Price of Performance Rights

The Performance Rights will be granted at no cost to Mr Nicholl. Once the vesting conditions are met (or waived), the Performance Rights will be automatically exercised at no cost to Mr Nicholl.

Importantly, no value will be received by Mr Nicholl if the Performance Rights fail to vest.

Number of equity incentives issued under the Plan, persons entitled to participate in the Plan, the date that the Company will grant these equity securities and loans

As at the date of this notice, the Plan currently has 1,000,000 Options (issued to Mr Nicoll for nil consideration) and 1,000,000 Performance Rights (250,000 issued each to senior executives Messers Hardiman, Coonan, Roberts and Fitzpatrick for nil consideration). All Directors and employees are eligible to participate in the Plan, however, it is intended that only senior executives and executive directors receive grants under the Plan. At the time of this Notice of Meeting the only participants in the Plan are Messers, Nicholl, Hardiman, Coonan, Roberts and Fitzpatrick.

Subject to shareholder approval, it is anticipated that the Performance Rights will be granted to Mr Nicholl shortly after the AGM. Irrespective of this intention, Performance Rights grants approved by shareholders under this resolution will be issued within 12 months of the date of this Meeting.

Finally, no loan will be provided by the Company in relation to the grant or exercise of the Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Mr Nicholl.

Conditions and Important Dates

The Vesting Dates for the Performance Rights granted to Mr Nicholl will be as follows:

  • Tranche 1 (50% of grant): 31 August 2016;

Page 5

LANDMARK WHITE LIMITED NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

  • Tranche 2 (25% of grant): 31 August 2017;

  • Tranche 3 (25% of grant): 31 August 2018.

All Performance Rights will lapse 30 days after the relevant vesting date unless exercised or lapsed earlier.

Vesting Conditions

The number of Performance Rights which will vest in accordance with the Plan Rules and the November 2015 Invitation for Performance Rights is dependent on:

a) Mr Nicholl meeting the Service Condition; and

b) The Company meeting the Performance Condition.

Collectively the above conditions are referred to as the Vesting Conditions.

Service Condition

The vesting of the Performance Rights is conditional on Mr Nicholl’s continued employment with the Company from the Grant Date until the relevant Vesting Date.

If Mr Nicholl’s employment with the Company ceases due to:

  • a) cause, then any unvested Performance Rights will immediately lapse;

  • b) death or permanent disability, then any unvested Performance Rights will immediately vest;

  • c) redundancy, then any unvested Performance Rights will vest on a pro-rata basis;

  • d) any other reason, the Board will determine in its sole and absolute discretion, the manner in which all unvested Performance Rights will be dealt with including the application of any Clawback Policy.

Any Performance Rights which fail to vest on or before the relevant Vesting Date will immediately lapse. The Board’s determination will be final.

Performance Condition

Vesting of the Performance Rights will be proportional to the Company’s Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) result for the FYE2016 as follows.

Basic EPS FYE2016 Proporton of Performance
Rights to vest
Less than 4.8 cents none
At least 4.8 cents 1/3rd
At least 5.1 cents 2/3rd
At least 5.5 cents all

Interpolated vesting on a straight-line basis for EPS between 4.8 and 5.1 cents, and 5.1 and 5.5 cents

  • Shares issued pursuant to the vesting of Performance Rights will rank equally with Shares then on issue.

  • There is no loan scheme in relation to the Performance Rights or the Plan.

  • Any dealing in Shares is subject to the constraints of Australian insider trading laws and the Company’s Share Trading Policy. Participants are specifically prohibited from hedging their Company share price exposure in respect of their Performance Rights during the vesting period.

Resolution 4 – Approval of Plan for the purposes of ASX LR 7.2 exception 9

Shareholder approval of the LMW Group Performance Rights and Option Plan (the “Plan”) is sought under the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.

The aim of the Plan is to align long term incentives for senior executives with the delivery of key performance measures and to align them with Company and Shareholder objectives.

The Plan allows the grant of either performance rights (“Performance Rights”) or options (“Options”) to participants (“Participants”). A Performance Right is a right to acquire a Share (being a “Plan Share”), subject to the satisfaction of conditions outlined in the invitation. An Option is a right to acquire a Plan Share subject to the satisfaction of conditions, and payment of the exercise price outlined in the invitation.

The Plan was established in May 2014 and has not previously been approved by Shareholders.

As at the date of this notice, the Plan currently has 1,000,000 Options (issued to Mr Nicoll for nil consideration) and 1,000,000 Performance Rights (250,000 issued each to senior executives Messrs

Page 6

LANDMARK WHITE LIMITED NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Hardiman, Coonan, Roberts and Fitzpatrick for nil consideration). All Directors and employees are eligible to participate in the Plan, however, it is intended that only senior executives and executive directors receive grants under the Plan.

At the discretion of the Board, the Plan can operate in tandem with the LMW Group Employee Share Scheme Trust (“Trust”) to manage the issue of LMV Shares on the exercise of vested Performance Rights and/or Options (“Plan Shares”). A grant of Plan Shares under the Plan is subject to both the rules of the Plan (“Plan Rules”) and the terms of the trust deed (“Trust Deed”).

It is proposed that grants of Performance Rights or Options under the Plan will be made annually following announcement of the Company’s full-year financial results. The Board will have discretion to make grants at other times. The Plan Rules provide the Board with flexibility in relation to annual offers. Any future issues under the Plan to a director will only be made if shareholder approval is received.

Requirements for approval

ASX Listing Rule (“LR”) 7.1 limits the number of equity securities the Company may issue without Shareholder approval to 15% of each class of securities within any 12 month period.

Exception 9 of LR 7.2 provides that the 15% restriction in LR 7.1 will not apply to an issue of Performance Rights, Options or Plan Shares issued on exercise of vested Performance Rights or Options under the Plan where the issue of securities under the Plan has been approved by a resolution of Shareholders made during the previous 3 years.

Shareholder approval for future issues of Plan Shares under the Plan is sought for the purposes of Exception 9 of LR 7.2 so that any Shares issued under the Plan are excluded from the calculation of the maximum number of new securities that can be issued under ASX LR 7 thus giving the Board flexibility to issue Plan Shares during the next 3 years.

Plan Rules

A copy of the Plan Rules or the Trust Deed may be requested from the Company Secretary.

Resolution 5 - Approval of the 10% placement facility

General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital, through placements over a 12 month period, after the Annual General Meeting (10% Placement). The 10% Placement is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity is an entity that:

  • is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.

The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is seeking to obtain Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution, to enable the Company to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement will be determined in

accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 and set out in detail in paragraph c), below.

Description of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

b) Equity Securities

Equity securities is defined in the ASX Listing Rules as shares, units, rights to shares or units or options, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, any securities that ASX decides to classify as an equity security, but does not include any securities ASX decides to classify as a debt security.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

As at the date of the Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has one quoted class of Equity Securities on issue, being Shares.

c) Formula for calculating the 10% Placement

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, the number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A X D) – E

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and

less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.

D is 10%.

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.

d) ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under

Page 8

LANDMARK WHITE LIMITED NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has on issue 27,588,781 Shares and therefore, has capacity to issue:

  • I. 4,138,317 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • II. 2,758,878 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated on the date of issue of Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see paragraph c)).

e) Minimum issue price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days immediately before:

  • I. the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • II. if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph I, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement under ASX ListingRule 7.1A is valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • I. the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained; and

  • II. the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of a main undertaking),

ASX ListingRule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities in any existing quoted class, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. As at the date of the Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has one quoted class of Equity Securities on issue, being Shares.

Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person,

by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

Specific Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A:

a) ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.1: Minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued

The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 trading days immediately before:

  • I. the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • II. if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • b) ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.2: Statement of the risk of economic and voting dilution of existing ordinary security holders

If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below. There is a risk that:

  • I. the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • II. the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date.

The table on page 10 sets out the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares on issue, being variable “A” in the table, which is calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX ListingRule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting.

The table also shows:

  • I. in addition to the current variable “A”, two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at future Shareholders’ meetings; and

  • II. two examples, one where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and the other where the issue price of ordinary securities has increased by 100%, as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement.

  • The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

  • The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The assumed issue price is $0.49, being the closing price of Shares on ASX on 7 October 2014.

c) ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.3: Date by which securities may be issued

The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.

The approval under Resolution 5 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) during the 10% Placement Period.

d) ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.4: Purposes of the issue

The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement for the following purposes:

  • I. non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • II. cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition) and general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon the issue of any Equity Securities.

e) ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.5: Details of the allocation policy for issues under the approval

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • I. the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, a share placement, rights issue or other issue in which an existing Shareholder(s) can subscribe for Shares;

  • II. the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

III. the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • IV. advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or Associates of a related party of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the allottees will not include related parties or Associates of a related party of the Company.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5. The Directors consider that the approval of the 10% Placement described above is beneficial for the Company as it provides the Company with the flexibility to issue up to the maximum number of securities permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A in the next 12 months, without further Shareholder approval.
