ASX Announcement 20 November 2024
Adslot Ltd: Resolution 5 at the Annual General Meeting - Additional Information and Clarification to Explanatory Statement
The Company refers to the information provided in respect of Resolution 5 – Directors Fees Plan – in the Explanatory Statement accompanying the Notice of Meeting for the Company’s 2024 Annual General Meeting.
In conjunction with Resolution 5, the Company advises that to support the Company’s plan for the turnaround of the Company’s business, the Directors have agreed to the following adjustments in their compensation:
-
Fee Reductions : Directors will reduce their fees by one-third, from 1 October 2024, until the Company can sustainably afford otherwise.
-
a. Adrian Giles and Sarah Morgan: Reduced from $75,000 to $50,000 per annum.
-
b. Andrew Dyer: Reduced from $100,000 to $66,667 per annum.
-
-
Temporary Executive Chair Additional Fee : The additional fee of $75,000 per annum for the Executive Chair role will only apply until the turnaround plan is complete (target: March 2025).
-
Return to Cash-Based Fees : Once the business is sustainable—defined as the Company achieving a positive net income with sufficient cash reserves to execute the Company’s further strategies— directors’ fees will revert to historic levels and be paid in cash, which has always been the director’s preferred method of receiving their compensation.
The Directors believe these measures demonstrate their commitment to the turnaround of the Company’s business and their willingness to support the business alongside shareholders.
The impact of these measures will reduce the potential dilution if all directors’ fees were to be paid in shares. We further note the potential dilution has been further reduced because of the resignation of Thomas Triscari as a Director.
Shareholders are advised that the two tables set out in the section of the Explanatory Statement regarding Resolution 5 should now be replaced with the following.
Each Participating Director’s total current remuneration per annum is as follows:
| Director | Salary and fees ($) | Superannuation ($) | Total ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mr Andrew Dyer | 118,7501 | - | 118,750 |
| Mr Tom Triscari | 16,8392 | - | 16,839 |
| Mr Adrian Giles | 50,4483 | 5,802 | 56,250 |
| Ms Sarah Morgan | 50,4483 | 5,802 | 56,250 |
Note 1: Mr Dyer’s base annual fee as Chairman is $100,000, which will be temporarily reduced to $66,667 from 1 October 2024. Mr Dyer is entitled to a Temporary Executive Chairman Fee of $75,000 pa, applicable for the period of the execution of the Company’s turnaround plan. The targeted date for completion of the turnaround plan is March 2025. Payment frequency will match payment of base fees.
