ASX RELEASE 26 APRIL 2017
NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
A notice of meeting for a General Meeting of Tech Mpire Limited ( Company or Tech Mpire ) ( ASX: TMP ), to be held 26 May 2017, is attached. The purpose of the meeting is to propose the issue of options to non-executive directors.
Since the appointment of non-executive directors, Lee Hunter and Mathew Ratty, to the Tech Mpire Board on 16 February 2017, the Company has further developed strategy, presented it to market, and initiated activities towards its achievement. All Tech Mpire Non-Executive Directors have, and continue to, contribute to these initiatives beyond the scope of their roles as board members. In order to reward and incentivise their continued support to management, the Company deems it prudent to issue options with an exercise price of $0.45.
Commenting on the proposed resolution, Managing Director Luke Taylor said "I support the issue of options to the non-executive directors who have been proactive in their roles and are working hard to support the Company’s strategy. They are each using their specific domain knowledge to assist the Company in reaching the goals of increased revenue and profitability which in turn, maximises shareholder value. The issue options with an exercise price at a premium of approximately 36% to the trading price when the consideration of the grant of the options was decided by the board, further aligns Tech Mpire’s directors with our shareholders."
Further details disclosed in the notice of meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 3 – ISSUE OF DIRECTOR OPTIONS
1.1 General
Resolutions 1 to 3 seek the approval of Shareholders for the issue of options ( Director Options ) to the three non-executive directors of the Company as a recognition of the work undertaken by those Directors and to incentivise them further as they continue to work to grow the Company.
The Director Options will be exercisable at $0.45 on or before the date that is three years from the date that the Option Deeds between the Company and each of the non-executive directors were executed, being 30 March 2017. $0.45 was chosen as an exercise price given it was approximately 36% premium to the trading price when the consideration of the grant of the Director Options was decided by the Board. The subsequent increase in the trading price of the Company’s Shares on ASX has occurred since that date.
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 Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Belben, Ratty and Hunter are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Director Options to the Related Parties.
1.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Director Options:
- (a) the related parties are Messrs Belben, Ratty and Hunter. Messrs Belben and Ratty are related parties by virtue of being Directors and Mr Hunter is a related party by virtue of being both a Director and by virtue of the
4
Consultancy Services Agreement between himself and the Company dated 13 April 2017;
-
(b) the maximum number of Director Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:
-
(i) 500,000 Director Options to Mr Belben;
-
(ii) 500,000 Director Options to Mr Ratty; and
-
(iii) 500,000 Director Options to Mr Hunter;
-
(c) the Director Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month 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 Director Options will be issued on one date;
-
(d) the Director Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;
-
(e) the terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Schedule 1;
-
(f) the value of the Director Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 2;
-
(g) the current relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company are set out below:
| Related Party | Shares | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Mr Stephen Belben as beneficiary of SF and PJ Belben ATF Belben Superfund |
100,000 | Nil |
| Mr Mathew Ratty as beneficiary of MC Management Group Pty Ltd ATF MC Trust |
6,551,676 | 6,500,0001 |
| Mr Lee Hunter | 146,000 | Nil |
1 6,500,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.50 each on or before 29 June 2018.
- (h) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed remuneration and emoluments for the current financial year are set out below:
| Related Party | Current Financial Year |
Previous Financial Year |
|---|---|---|
| Mr Stephen Belben | $65,700 | $26,027 |
| Mr Mathew Ratty | $15,162 | Nil |
| Mr Lee Hunter | $40,162 | Nil |
Mr Hunter’s remuneration comprises $15,162 re director’s fees and $25,000 re consultancy services.
(i) if the Director Options granted to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 1,500,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares
5
on issue from 65,774,335 (includes 12,700,000 Shares which are escrowed to 7 July 2017 plus 1,300,000 Shares which are subject to voluntary escrow until 7 July 2017) to 67,274,335 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 2.3% comprising 0.8% by Mr Belben, 0.8% by Mr Ratty and 0.8% by Mr Hunter.
The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
(j) 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 | 0.45 cents | 1 June 2016 |
| Lowest | 0.11 cents | 16 December 2016 |
| Last | 0.315 cents | 12 April 2017 |
(k) Stephen Belben declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis he is to be granted Director Options in the Company should Resolution 1 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 2 and 3, Mr Belben recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:
-
(i) the grant of the Director 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 the Related Parties; and
-
(ii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Director Options upon the terms proposed;
-
(l) Mathew Ratty declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Director Options in the Company should Resolution 2 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 1 and 3, Mr Ratty recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (k)(i) and (ii);
-
(m) Lee Hunter declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Director Options in the Company should Resolution 3 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 1 and 2, Mr Hunter recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (k)(i) and (ii);
-
(n) with the exception of Mr Belben no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 1;
6
-
(o) with the exception of Mr Ratty no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 2;
-
(p) with the exception of Mr Hunter no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 3;
-
(q) Luke Taylor recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 for the reasons set out in paragraph (k)(i) and (ii);
-
(r) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each other Related Party, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Director Options to be granted as well as the exercise price $0.45 and expiry date of those Director Options; and
-
(s) 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 Resolutions 1 to 3.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Director Options to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Instructions for completing Proxy Form
1.
( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
2.
( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
3.
( Signing instructions ):
-
( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.
-
( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.
-
( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.
-
( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.
4.
( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish.
