EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

PURPOSE OF INFORMATION

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement (which is included in and forms part of the Notice of Annual General Meeting dated 23 October 2014) is to provide Shareholders with an explanation of the business and the Resolutions to be proposed and considered at the Annual General Meeting ( Meeting ) of the Company which is to be held on Tuesday 25 November 2014 at 10:00am at the offices of Grant Thornton, Level 30, 525 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria. The information in the Explanatory Statement will also assist Shareholders to determine how they wish to vote on each Resolution.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, the directors of a public company that is required to hold an annual general meeting must table the financial statements and reports of the Company (including the Directors' Report and Auditor's Report) for the previous financial year before the Shareholders at that annual general meeting.

Shareholders have been provided with all relevant information concerning the Company's financial statements, the Directors' Report and Auditor's Report in the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2014. A copy of the Annual Report has been forwarded to each Shareholder (other than those Shareholders who have previously elected not to receive the Annual Report, whether in paper form or electronically). Any Shareholder who has made this election and now wishes to receive a paper or electronic copy of the Annual Report should contact the Company to arrange receipt.

The Annual Report can also be viewed, printed and downloaded from the Company's website www.adslot.com. A copy of the financial statements, the Directors' Report and the Auditor's Report will be tabled at the meeting.

Shareholders should note that the sole purpose of tabling the financial statements and the reports of the Company at the Meeting is to provide Shareholders with the opportunity to ask questions or discuss matters arising from the financial statements and/or the reports at the meeting. It is not the purpose of the meeting that the financial statements or the reports be accepted, rejected or modified in any way. Further, as it is not required by the Corporations Act, no resolution to adopt, receive or consider the Company's financial statements or the reports (other than the Remuneration Report) will be put to the Shareholders at the Meeting.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask questions and make comments on the financial statements and the reports. The Company's auditor will also be available to receive questions and comments from Shareholders about the preparation and content of the financial statements and the Auditor's report and the conduct of the audit generally.

Further, any Shareholder entitled to cast a vote at the Meeting may submit written questions to the auditor if:

  • (a) the question is relevant to:

  • (i) the content of the Auditor’s report to be considered at the Meeting; or

  • (ii) the conduct of the audit of the 2014 financial report to be considered at the Meeting; and

  • (b) the Shareholder gives the question to the Company no later than 5 business days before the day on which the Meeting is to be held.

Where appropriate, and practical to do so, the Company may provide answers to any such written questions at the Meeting.

REMUNERATION REPORT (Resolution 1)

The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2014 contains a Remuneration Report, which sets out the policy for remuneration of its officers and senior employees.

The Corporations Act (section 250R(2)) requires that each listed company put a resolution to its shareholders at its annual general meeting that its remuneration report be adopted. The Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the company.

The Board will consider the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies. If 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, Shareholders will be given the opportunity to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (other than the Managing Director) must stand for re-election. At the Company’s 2013 Annual General Meeting, only 1.8% of the votes cast by members were against the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

Where the chairperson of the meeting has been appointed as proxy, the chairperson will be taken to have been expressly authorised to vote (and the chairperson will vote) undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report) even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel. However, if another director of the Company or any other of the Company’s key management personnel (or any of their closely related parties) is appointed as a proxy, they will not cast any votes in respect of Resolution 1 that arise from any undirected proxies they hold.

“Key management personnel” of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 are identified in the Remuneration Report, which formed part of the Annual Report. The “closely related parties” of the Company’s key management personnel are defined in the Corporations Act, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.

If you choose to appoint a proxy, the Board encourages you to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 by marking either “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” for this item of business on the proxy form.

Resolution 1 is put to the Shareholders at the Meeting in fulfilment of the obligations of the Company under section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act. Shareholders attending the Meeting will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Recommendation - The Directors make no recommendation with respect to voting on Resolution 1.

8

Recommendation - The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favor of Resolution 5.

RENEWED APPROVAL OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SCHEME (Resolution 6)

The Company has established an employee incentive scheme consisting of the Adslot Limited Employee Share Option Plan and the Adslot Limited Employee Share Trust ( Scheme ).

The Scheme was last approved by Shareholders at the 2011 Annual General Meeting. The Scheme provides for the issue of Shares and options over Shares to or on behalf of directors, management or other employees of the Company or its subsidiaries ( Eligible Employees ). Since that approval was given, the Company has issued no Options to Eligible Employees and 22,400,037 Shares to Eligible Employees under the Scheme. Of these shares some 6,587,855 have been fully earned and transferred to Eligible Employees, 1,713,795 have been forfeited and the remaining 14,098,387 remain subject to service conditions not yet satisfied.

A summary of the terms of the Scheme are set out in Annexure A. A copy of the Scheme may be inspected at the offices of the Company and will be available for inspection at the Meeting.

Since July 2010, the Board has ceased issuing options over Shares to Eligible Employees under the Scheme, as it believes that options are no longer the most effective way to remunerate Eligible Employees when considering the overarching principles of the Scheme.

It is important to note that no securities (Shares, options or other securities convertible into Shares) may be issued to or on behalf of a Director without Shareholder approval of the number of the Shares or options to be issued and the terms of issue.

The Scheme gives the Board significant flexibility in determining the terms and conditions of the issue of securities to the Company's directors, management and employees generally. The Board also has flexibility over a range of other aspects of the Scheme, including administration of the Scheme. The rules of the Scheme, as amended from time to time ( Rules ), articulate the Board's powers for administering the Scheme and give the Board a number of discretions to facilitate the management of the Scheme. The Rules are subject to the overriding requirements of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

A copy of the Rules may also be inspected at the offices of the Company and will be available for inspection of the Meeting.

9

The Board’s current intention is for the Company to issue Shares to Eligible Employees on the terms set out as follows:

  • (a) The Board will determine from time to time (in consultation with the Managing Director or CEO) which Eligible Employees will be invited to participate in the Scheme.

  • (b) If such an Eligible Employee elects to participate in the Scheme, then the Board (in consultation with the Managing Director or CEO) will determine the number of Shares that the Eligible Employee will be entitled to receive ( Share Allocation ) if the Eligible Employee achieves various performance criteria to be set periodically for that Eligible Employee by the Board. The period of time for achieving the performance criteria ( Service Period ) will vary by Eligible Employee, but is likely to be one or two years.

  • (c) The Board will review from time to time whether and the extent to which Eligible Employees have achieved the performance criteria that have been set for them. Depending on the nature of the performance criteria, these reviews may occur as frequently as quarterly, but will occur no less frequently than annually.

  • (d) The performance criteria against which each Eligible Employee’s performance will be assessed will be clearly communicated by the Company to each participating Eligible Employee.

  • (e) After the completion of the relevant Service Period, if the Board determines that the Eligible Employee has achieved the performance criteria that were set for that Eligible Employee, then the Company will issue to the Eligible Employee, for a nil issue price, the Shares that the Company had advised the Eligible Employee that he or she would be entitled to receive if those performance criteria were achieved. If the Board determines that the Eligible Employee has only partially achieved the performance criteria or has achieved some but not all of the performance criteria, the Board may determine that the Eligible Employee will be issued with some but not all of the relevant Share Allocation.

  • (f) If, during the relevant Service Period but before the relevant performance criteria have been achieved, the Eligible Employee ceases to be employed, the Eligible Employee will cease to have any right to receive any Share Allocation.

If the relevant performance criteria are not achieved during the relevant Service Period and the Board does not make a determination referred to in paragraph (e) above, the Eligible Employee will cease, as at the end of the relevant Service Period, to have any right to receive any Share Allocation.

  • (g) The issue of Shares to Eligible Employees who have achieved their performance criteria under the Scheme is likely to occur in early September of each year, although the Board may choose to have the Company issue Shares to Eligible Employees at different times (depending on the relevant Service Periods and the timing of the achievement of performance criteria). The Board may also choose to have the Trustee under the Trust transfer any unallocated Shares then held by the Trustee, instead of having the Company issue new Shares to an Eligible Employee.

The Board may determine from time to time that the Company will issue Shares under the Scheme to or on behalf of Eligible Employees on other terms, as permitted under the Rules. For example, from time to time the Board may authorise the issue or transfer of Shares to new Eligible Employees as sign on bonuses or subject to vesting or other criteria. Any such issue or transfer of Shares will be subject to the Rules (including the limit on the total number of Shares and options over Shares that may be issued under the Scheme).

10

Regulatory Requirements

Under Listing Rule 7.1, a listed company needs the prior approval of its shareholders for an issue of its securities (shares, options or other securities convertible into shares) if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% by number of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9) states that Listing Rule 7.1 will not apply to an issue of securities by a company under an employee incentive scheme if, in the three years before the date of issue of the securities, the members of that company have approved the issue of securities under that employee incentive scheme as an exception to the general rule.

Accordingly, Shareholders are asked to approve the Scheme so that issues of securities under the Scheme during the three years following the Annual General Meeting will be approved as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Note that Exception 9 to Listing Rule 7.1 will only be available if there has been no change to the number or terms of the securities to be issued, the mechanism for pricing or payment or any other material terms of the Scheme.

Adslot Limited Employee Share Trust

The Company has established the Adslot Limited Employee Share Trust ( Trust ) to facilitate the Company’s administration of parts of the Scheme. Where an Eligible Employee is or may become entitled to be issued Shares under the Scheme, Shares may be acquired by the Trustee then (subject to any vesting conditions being met) subsequently transferred to the Eligible Employee (in accordance with the terms of their issue). The Trust may also be used in relation to other, yet to be established, employee incentive arrangements.

Under the Scheme, the Company may issue Shares to the Trustee or may direct the Trustee to purchase them on the market. If any Shares are bought by the Trustee on the market pursuant to the Scheme, the Company will provide or procure funding to the Trustee to acquire those Shares. In certain circumstances unallocated Shares held by the Trustee may be bought back by the Company.

Approval of the Scheme

The Board believes that the approval of the Scheme will continue to:

  • (a) encourage employees to focus on creating value for Shareholders;

  • (b) link reward with the achievement of long term performance in the Company;

  • (c) encourage employees to remain with the Company by providing them with the opportunity to hold a financial stake in the Company; and

  • (d) assist in the Company attracting high calibre employees.

Recommendation - The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES TO BEN DIXON (Resolution 7)

The Board seeks Shareholder approval to issue up to 750,000 Shares to Ben Dixon under the Scheme.

Under Listing Rule 10.14, an entity must not permit a director or an associate of a director to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without first obtaining shareholder approval. As Mr Dixon is a Director, Shareholder approval is required for Mr Dixon to be issued Shares pursuant to the Scheme.

11

Subject to Shareholder approval, the number of Shares issued to Mr Dixon under the Scheme will depend upon Mr Dixon’s performance over the financial years 2014/15 and 2015/16 in relation to the performance criteria to be set by the Board for those periods, but will not be more than 750,000 Shares in total for those two years.

The performance criteria set for Mr Dixon by the Board relates to Company financial performance to budget for financial years 2014/15 and 2015/16.

The initial number of Shares that may be issued to Mr Dixon under the Scheme cannot be determined until the end of the 2014/15 financial year and the end of the 2015/16 financial year once his performance has been assessed against the relevant performance criteria for those years. The latest date that the Shares will be issued to Mr Dixon is 21 November 2016.

Additional information

In accordance with the Listing Rules, the following additional information is provided concerning the Shares proposed to be issued to Mr Dixon under the Scheme:

  • (a) Mr Dixon will not be provided with any loan in relation to the Shares that may be issued to him under the Scheme.

  • (b) If and to the extent that the Board determines that Mr Dixon has achieved the performance criteria set for him, the Shares will be issued to Mr Dixon for a nil issue price.

  • (c) Since the Scheme was last approved by Shareholders in 2011, no other Directors have participated in the Scheme.

  • (d) Details of any Shares issued to Mr Dixon under the Scheme will be published in the Company’s annual report to Shareholders and released to ASX relating to the period in which any such Shares have been issued, and it will be noted in that annual report that approval for such issue of Shares was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

  • (e) Any additional Directors or associates of Directors who become entitled to participate in the Scheme after Resolution 7 is approved, and who are not named in the notice of meeting or this Explanatory Statement, will not participate in the Scheme until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

Recommendation - The Board (other than Mr Dixon) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

Under the Scheme, the Board is also able to issue Shares to or on behalf of Eligible Employees for a nil issue price, where the allocation or issue of those Shares is in connection with the Eligible Employee becoming employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or is subject to performance, vesting or other criteria.

  • c. Shares issued under the Scheme will have voting and dividend rights, and the right to participate in further issues pro-rata to all ordinary shareholders.

  • d.

  • The Company will apply for listing of all Shares issued under the Scheme.

  • e. The Board may include in the terms of any offer of Shares or options under the Scheme a restriction having the effect of preventing the holder from disposing of Shares acquired under the Scheme (whether acquired outright or on exercise of options issued under the Scheme) and/or a condition that could result in the holder forfeiting ownership of such Shares in defined circumstances.

3 Options

  • a. Under the Scheme the Board has the power to issue options to subscribe for Shares and has the power to determine terms of issue, including the exercise price and their expiry date, (i.e. the date on which any unexercised options lapse) subject to a maximum option period of 10 years.

  • b. Under the Scheme, the Board may issue options with an exercise price of an amount that must be greater than or equal to 80% of the market value of the Shares at the date of offer, unless otherwise determined by the Board.

  • c. Options will not be quoted on the ASX, and options not yet exercised shall not have the right to participate in any further issues to shareholders (unless exercised).

  • d. The Board may issue options with a vesting restriction having the effect that the options can only be exercised after a specified date or specified event and only if and for so long as the holder remains employed / engaged after that date.

This will allow the Board to issue options on terms which create an incentive, not just to increase the Company's share price, but also for the holder to remain employed for a minimum length of time.

15

  • e. All options that have not vested shall lapse immediately on the cessation of employment / engagement and / or in such other circumstances as set out in the conditions of issue of the options. Further, if the holder's employment or office is terminated for cause – for example, for conduct that is fraudulent or dishonest or in material breach of his duties to the Company, all options, whether vested (and not exercised) or unvested shall lapse immediately.

  • f. In the event of a takeover, merger or placement resulting in a person or entity controlling more than 50% of the issued capital of the Company, the holder would be released from any restriction on exercising options (such as a vesting restriction mentioned above).

The Board consider that a takeover or change in control of this kind is such a significant change to the Company that holders should be able to exercise their options and accept the offer or otherwise participate in the benefit of the offer / merger as shareholders.

  • g. If there is a re-organisation of the share capital of the Company, the option terms (including the exercise price or the number of Shares that can be acquired on the exercise of each option) may be adjusted to reflect the effects of the re-organisation, pursuant to the relevant ASX Listing Rules and as appropriate to the kind of re-organisation being undertaken. Subject to any such re-organisation, upon the exercise of options one ordinary fully paid share is to be issued for each option exercised.

  • h. Unless otherwise permitted by the terms of an offer or by the Board, options issued under the Scheme will always be non-transferable. This ensures that the benefits of the options will remain with the holder unless a transfer is specifically authorized.

  • 4

General

  • a. The Board have flexibility over a range of aspects of the Scheme including administration. The Rules articulate the Board's powers for administering the Scheme and give the Board a number of discretions to facilitate the management of the Scheme.

  • b. The Rules are subject to the overriding requirements of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

  • c. A copy of the Scheme Rules may be inspected at the offices of the Company and will be available for inspection of the Meeting.

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.
