This Explanatory Statement and all attachments are important documents. They should be read carefully.

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the Shareholders of Aerometrex Ltd ( Company ) in connection with the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held at 11:00 am (Adelaide time) on Wednesday 4 November 2020 by Virtual Meeting.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with the information known to the Company that the Board considers material to their decision on whether to approve the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice. This document is important and should be read in conjunction with all of the information contained in this booklet, including the Notice. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary.

Proxies

Please note that: (a) a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy; (b) a proxy need not be a member of the Company; (c) a Shareholder may appoint a body corporate or an individual as its proxy; (d) a body corporate appointed as a Shareholder’s proxy may appoint an individual as its representative to exercise any of the powers that the body may exercise as the Shareholder’s proxy; and (e) Shareholders entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

The enclosed proxy form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging proxy forms. If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as its proxy and the body corporate wishes to appoint an individual as its representative, the body corporate should provide that person with a certificate or letter executed in accordance with the Corporations Act authorising him or her to act as that company’s representative. The authority may be sent to the Company or its share registry in advance of the Annual General Meeting.

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the Proxy Form and return it so that it is received by no later than 11.00 am (Adelaide time) on Monday 2 November 2020 in accordance with the instructions set out on the Proxy Form. Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid.

2. Financial Statements and Reports

In accordance with the Corporations Act and the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include the receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2020, together with the related Directors’ report, Directors’ declaration and Auditors’ report. This item of business is intended to provide an opportunity for Shareholders to raise questions on the reports themselves and on the performance of the Company generally. No resolution need be put to the meeting in relation to these items.

As a Shareholder, you are entitled to submit a written question to the Auditor prior to the Annual General Meeting provided that the question relates to:

  • the content of the Auditor’s report; or

  • the conduct of the audit in relation to the financial report.

All written questions must be received by the Company no later than 5.00 pm (Adelaide time) on Wednesday , 28 October 2020.

All questions must be sent to the Company and may not be sent to the Auditor. The Company will then forward all questions to the Auditor.

The Auditor will be present at the Annual General Meeting and Shareholders will have the opportunity to ask the Auditor questions in relation to the conduct of the audit, the Auditor’s report, the Company’s accounting policies, and the independence of the Auditor.

3. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires a listed company to put to its shareholders (at its annual general meeting) a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted. Such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or 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 the financial year ending 30 June 2020.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting. Notwithstanding the advisory effect of Resolution 1, the Board will consider the outcome of the vote made by the Shareholders with regard to the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.

Although the effect of Resolution 1 is advisory only, under the “two strikes” rule, companies will be required to put a resolution to shareholders to hold fresh elections for directors if, at two consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a resolution (such as Resolution 1) to adopt the remuneration report are cast against that resolution. If required, a 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.

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.

As this Annual General Meeting of the Company is its first general meeting since its Initial Public Offering, the spill resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

Voting Recommendation

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report, the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Aerometrex Limited - 2020 AGM

4. Resolution 2 – Appointment of Auditor at First AGM

Section 327B(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a public company must appoint an auditor at its first annual general meeting and at any subsequent annual general meeting thereafter where there is a vacancy.

The Directors appointed Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd ( Grant Thornton ) as the Company’s auditor following registration of the Company.

In accordance with section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act, the Company has sought and obtained a nomination from a Shareholder for Grant Thornton to be appointed as the Company’s auditor. A copy of this nomination is attached to this Notice as Annexure B.

Grant Thornton has given its written consent to act as the Company’s auditor in accordance with section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act subject to Shareholder approval of this Resolution.

If this Resolution is passed, the appointment of Grant Thornton as the Company’s auditor will take effect at the close of this Meeting.

5. Resolution 3 – Re-Election of Director – Dr Peter Foster

ASX Listing Rule 14.5 and article 50 of the Constitution require that one third of the Directors (or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest to but not exceeding one third) must retire from office at each Annual General Meeting. The Directors retire by rotation, with the Director(s) who have been the longest in office since being appointed or re-appointed being the Director(s) who must retire in any one year.

The Constitution ensures that no Director is able to remain in office for longer than 3 years without standing for re-election. Each Director is entitled to offer himself/herself for re-election as a Director at the Annual General Meeting which coincides with his/her retirement.

The Managing Director (if any) is exempted by his office as managing director from the requirement to retire by rotation.

Dr Peter Foster was appointed as a Non-executive Director of Aerometrex on 15 October 2019.

Dr Foster has extensive business experience across a variety of industries. He is a creative entrepreneur with wide-ranging experience in developing innovative technologies for global markets, having founded and grown numerous technology and commercial ventures. Peter received his PhD in Physics from the University of Adelaide in lasers and non-linear optical technology. He has extensive experience with the invention and intellectual property protection process and holds over 40 international patents in optics and precision electronics. Peter is currently Managing Director of Longwood Audio Pty Ltd, owners of the Halcro highend hifi brand, and Managing Director of VentureNext Pty Ltd, which he formed in 2010 as a vehicle for consulting and early stage company investment. He has also held senior scientific positions with a local medical laser manufacturer and with the Department of Metallic Materials, University of Bayreuth, Germany, and has delivered intensive courses on startups and technology commercialisation for the University of Adelaide.

Dr Foster currently serves on the Board of Directors for VivoSense, a San Diego based pharmaceutical services company and leads its commercial advisory board whose members are located across the US.

If re-elected the Board considers Dr Foster will be an independent Director.

Dr Foster has no interests, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his/her capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interest of the Company as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual security holder or other party.

Voting Recommendation

The Directors (with Dr Peter Foster abstaining) support the re-election of Dr Foster and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

6. Resolution 4 – Adoption of Share Option Plan

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled ‘Aerometrex Share Option Plan’ in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) ( Share Option Plan ).

A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Share Option Plan is set out below.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Options under the Share Option Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Options under the Share Option Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of Options will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Shares or Options.

The objective of the Share Option Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Share Option Plan and the future issue of Options under the Share Option Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Any future issues of Options under the Share Option Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.

The Share Option Plan has not previously been approved by Shareholders. Accordingly, the Company has not issued any Options under the Share Option Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7 (exception 13(b)), however, the Company has issued 2,255,000 Options under the Share Option Plan pursuant to its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The maximum number of Options proposed to be issued under the Share Option Plan, following Shareholder approval, is 4,720,000 Options which includes the Options proposed to be issued under Resolutions 5-7. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Options for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

In addition, a copy of the Share Option Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary Kaitlin Smith on (08) 8232 8800. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

Voting Recommendation

The Directors abstain, in the interests of corporate governance, from making a recommendation in relation to this Resolution.

Employee ceases to be an Eligible Employee, except where the Participant or
Associated Employee ceases to be an Eligible Employee as a result of termination
for dishonest, fraud or cause (as defned in the relevant Participant’s employment
agreement) in which case, all such Options expire and lapse immediately on the
Participant or Associated Employee ceasing to be an Eligible Employee.

illness, bankruptcy, becoming of unsound mind or becoming a person whose
property is liable to be dealt with under a law about mental health; or

of the Participant.

Aerometrex Limited - 2020 AGM 16

Reorganisation of
Capital
In the event of a consolidation, subdivision or similar reconstruction of the issued capital of
Aerometrex:
a)
the number of Shares to which a Participant is entitled on exercise of an Option will
be reduced or increased in the same proportion as the issued capital of Aerometrex
is consolidated, subdivided or reconstructed (subject to the same provisions with
respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by the meeting of shareholders
approving the consolidation, subdivision or reconstruction); and
b)
an appropriate adjustment will be made to the Exercise Price, to the effect that the
total amount payable on an exercise of all Options by each Participant will not alter.
Participation
rights
A Participant may only participate in issues of securities by Aerometrex (as a Participant) if
the Option has been exercised and a Share allotted in respect of the exercise of that Option
before the closing date for determining entitlements to the security issue.

7. Resolution 5 – Approval to issue Options to Dr Peter Foster

General

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 100,000 options to Dr Peter Foster (or his nominee).

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

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 issue of options constitutes giving a financial benefit to Dr Foster whom is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Dr Foster who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Options because the agreement to issue the Options , reached as part of the remuneration package for Dr Foster (or his nominee) is considered reasonable remuneration and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis on the same terms as options issued to employees in the Share Option Plan announced by the Company on 8 May 2020.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to

  • 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders, unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

As resolution 5 involves the issue of options to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances, therefore the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11 is required.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to Dr Foster within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options.

Accordingly, the issue of the options will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

10. Resolution 8 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Options

General

As announced by the Company on 8 May 2020, the Company agreed to issue a total of 2,255,000 unlisted options to 94 of its employees under the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan (Share Option Plan) (Employee Options). As set out in Section 6 above, the Share Option Plan had not previously been approved by Shareholders. Accordingly, the Company has not issued the Options under the Share Option Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7 (exception 13(b)), however, the Company issued the Employee Options under the Share Option Plan pursuant to its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

The issue of the Employee Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Employee Options.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Employee Options.

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Employee Options.

Aerometrex Limited - 2020 AGM

22

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 8 is passed, the Employee Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Employee Options.

If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Employee Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Employee Options.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 8:

  • (a) the Employee Options were issued to Employees of the Company;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 2,255,000 Employee Options were issued and the Employee Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure A;

  • (d) the Employee Options were issued on 5 May 2020;

  • (e) the Employee Options were issued at a nil issue price, as a performance linked incentive. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Employee Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Employee options;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Employee Options was to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Share Option Plan; and

  • (g) the Employee Options were issued to Employees under the Share Option Plan. A summary of the material terms of the Share Option Plan is set out in Section 6 of this Notice

11. Resolution 9 – Amendment of Constitution

General

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 8 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to amend its existing Constitution ( Amended Constitution ) to ensure it reflects the changes to the ASX Listing Rules which took place in December 2019.

The amendments to the existing constitution are summarised below:

Restricted Securities (clause 13)

The Amended Constitution complies with the recent changes to Listing Rule 15.12 which took effect from 1 December 2019. Under this change, ASX requires certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their controllers (such as related parties, promoters, substantial holders, service providers and their associates) to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form Appendix 9A, as is currently the case. However, for less significant holdings (such as non-related parties and non-promoters), ASX permits the Company to issue restriction notices to holders of restricted securities in the form of the new Appendix 9C advising them of the restriction rather than requiring signed restriction agreements.

Aerometrex Limited - 2020 AGM

23

Fee for Registration (clause 24)

On 24 January 2011, ASX amended Listing Rule 8.14 with the effect that the Company may now charge a “reasonable fee” for registering paper-based transfers, sometimes referred to “off-market transfers”.

Clause 24 of the Amended Constitution is being made to enable the Company to charge a reasonable fee when it is required to register off-market transfers from Shareholders. The fee is intended to represent the cost incurred by the Company in upgrading its fraud detection practices specific to off-market transfers.

Before charging any fee, the Company is required to notify ASX of the fee to be charged and provide sufficient information to enable ASX to assess the reasonableness of the proposed amount.

A copy of the Amended Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the office of the Company. A copy of the Amended Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment):

  • (a) the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the Optionholder would have received if the Optionholder had exercised the Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and

  • (b) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.

15. Adjustment for Entitlements Issue

If the Company makes an issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders (other than as a bonus issue, to which paragraph 14 will apply) there will be no adjustment of the Exercise Price of an Option or the number of Shares over which the Options are exercisable.

16. Adjustments for Reorganisation

If there is any reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the Option holders will be varied in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules
