The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.techmpire.com .

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

7

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3. RESOLUTIONS 2, 3 AND 4 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS – MESSRS LEE HUNTER, MATHEW RATTY AND RENAUD BESNARD

3.1 General

Clause 13.4 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Pursuant to clause 13.4 of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

5. RESOLUTION 6 – ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO RELATED PARTY – MR LEE HUNTER

5.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval to issue a total of 1,200,000 Performance Rights under the Company’s Performance Rights Plan ( Plan ) ( Related Party Performance Rights ) to Mr Lee Hunter (or his nominee).

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The grant of the Related Party Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Hunter is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Hunter who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Related Party Performance Rights because the agreement to grant the Related Party Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Hunter, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

As the grant of the Related Party Performance Rights involves the issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.15B do not apply in the current circumstances.

5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Related Party Performance Rights to Mr Hunter:

1,200,000. Each Related Party Performance Right will vest into one (1) Share upon the satisfaction of the terms and conditions as set out in Schedule 1;

  • (c) the Related Party Performance Rights will be granted for nil cash consideration (and there is no vesting price payable on the vesting of Performance Rights to Shares), accordingly no funds will be raised on issue of the Performance Rights or the vesting into Shares;

  • (d) the following persons referred to in ASX listing Rule 10.14 who have received Performance Rights since it was adopted by Shareholders at its General Meeting held on 5 June 2015 is as follows :

  • (e) as at the date of this Notice, the Directors are the only persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 that the Board has declared to be eligible to be issued Performance Rights under the Plan (i.e. a Director, an associate of the Director, or a person whose relationship with the Company, Director or associate of the Director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained);

  • (f) no loans are being provided in connection with the issue of the Related Party Performance Rights;

  • (g) the Related Party Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Hunter no later than 12 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Related Party Performance Rights will be issued on one date; and

  • (h) a summary of the terms and conditions of the Related Party Performance Rights is set out in Schedule 1.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Performance Rights to Mr Hunter as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Hunter will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

6. RESOLUTION 7 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTY-MR RENAUD BESNARD

6.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 500,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to Mr Renaud Besnard on the terms and conditions set out below.

This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 73,307,669 to 73,807,669 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 0.68%.

  • (j) The market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options would normally determine whether or not the Related Party Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Related Party Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Related Party Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

  • (k) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:

Price ($) Date
Highest 0.42 13 June 2017
Lowest 0.12 15 December 2016
Last 0.28 19 September 2017
  • (l) the primary purpose of the grant of the Related Party Options to Mr Besnard is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Mr Besnard to motivate and reward his performance in his role as a Director;

  • (m) Mr Besnard declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 7 be passed. However, the remaining Directors being Mr Stephen Belben, Mr Mathew Ratty and Mr Lee Hunter recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 7 for the following reasons:

  • (i) the grant of the Related Party Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Mr Besnard; and

14

  • (ii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (n) with the exception of Mr Besnard, no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 7;

  • (o) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of Mr Besnard, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Options to be granted as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Related Party Options; and

  • (p) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 7.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Options to Mr Besnard as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Options to Mr Besnard will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

7. RESOLUTION 8 – INCREASE TO TOTAL AGGREGATE FIXED SUM TO NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

ASX Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of directors’ fees payable to all of its non-executive directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities.

Clause 13.7 of the Constitution also requires that remuneration payable to the non-executive Directors will not exceed the sum initially set by the Constitution and subsequently increase by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to all of the non-executive Directors is currently set at $250,000. Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval to increase this figure by $250,000 to $500,000.

This amount includes superannuation contributions made by the Company for the benefit of non-executive Directors and any fees which a non-executive Director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits. It does not include reimbursement of genuine out of pocket expenses, genuine “special exertion” fees paid in accordance with the Constitution, or securities issued to a non-executive Director under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 with approval of Shareholders.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees proposed to be paid to the nonexecutive Directors per annum has been determined after reviewing similar companies listed on ASX and the Directors believe that this level of remuneration is in line with corporate remuneration of similar companies.

Whilst it is not envisaged that the maximum amount sought will be utilised immediately, the proposed limit is requested to ensure that the Company:

  • (a) maintains its capacity to remunerate both existing and any new nonexecutive directors joining the Board;

15

  • (b) remunerates its non-executive Directors appropriately for the expectations placed upon them both by the Company and the regulatory environment in which it operates; and

  • (c) has the ability to attract and retain non-executive directors whose skills and qualifications are appropriate for a company of the size and nature of the Company.

In the past 3 years, the Company has issued non-executive Directors the following securities (and a total of 6,000,000 Shares on conversion of the Class A and Class B Performance Rights issued to Zhenya Tsvetnenko as detailed below) with prior Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.14:

Given the interest of the non-executive Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.

8. RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY– SHARES

8.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

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

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300 million.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of less than $300 million.

An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.

16

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

As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one (1) class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: TMP).

If Shareholders approve Resolution 5, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

Resolution 9 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 9 for it to be passed.

8.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 9:

8.3 Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in section 8.3(a), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

8.4 Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (a) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (b) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

8.5

Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 9 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

17

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 73,307,669 Shares on issue.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX 28 August 2017.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares or Performance Rights are converted into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

18

  1. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  2. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  3. 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%.

  4. 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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (b) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

8.6 Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

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

  • (a) to raise funds for working capital expenses, ongoing growth initiatives, potential acquisitions and development of the Company’s proprietary technology; or

  • (b) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of any new or complimentary businesses or opportunities, and in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

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

8.7 Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity

The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (a) the purpose of the issue;

  • (b) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (c) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

19

  • (d) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (e) prevailing market conditions; and

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

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

8.8 Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 24 October 2016 ( Previous Approval ).

The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 26 October 2016, the Company otherwise issued 33,334 Shares on vesting of Class C Performance Rights and 7,500,000 Shares on vesting of Class B Performance Rights, and 1,500,000 Options exercisable at $0.45 on or before 30 March 2020 to Directors which represents approximately 10.37% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 26 October 2016, which was 87,141,001.

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 4.

8.9

Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 5.
