How will the Chairman vote as proxy if the Shareholder has not directed the Chairman to vote?
The Chairman intends to vote in favour of all Resolutions with the exception of Resolution 7. If Resolution 7 is required, the Chairman intends to vote against Resolution 7. If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting as proxy and does not direct the Chairman how to vote on a Resolution then, if that Shareholder is entitled to vote on that Resolution, the Chairman will vote in favour of all resolutions expect resolution 7.
Resolution 1 - Adoption of the Remuneration Report
Consistent with section 250R of the Corporations Act, the Company submits to shareholders for consideration and adoption, by way of a non-binding resolution, its Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2016.

The resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its directors. However the Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders at the meeting on the remuneration report 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 required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (other than the Managing Director / CEO) must stand for re-election. The Company encourages all shareholders to cast their votes on Resolution 1 (Adoption of the Remuneration Report).
The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not directed the Chairman how to vote on Resolution 1 by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intention.

He is a director of ASX listed ARC Exploration Limited, and Hong Kong Stock Exchange listed APAC Resources Ltd. He is also chairman and director of Trilogy Funds Management Ltd, a Responsible Entity under Australian law.

He was appointed to LCT board on 29 March 2011.

Resolution 4 - Approval to exempt from Listing Rule 7.1 Options issued under the Employee Share Option Plan in accordance with Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2
Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’) Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing or agreeing to issue new securities representing more than 15% of its total ordinary shares during the 12 month period without shareholder approval.
Exception 9, Listing Rule 7.2, provides the securities issued under an employee incentive scheme (e.g. the Employee Share Option Plan) are excluded from this restriction provided that, within three years before the date of issue, the scheme, and specifically issues of securities under it, has been approved by shareholders in general meeting. The last approval by shareholders was in 2013 so a renewal is now requested to retain this exception.
The Company seeks to have options issued under the current Employee Share Option plan excluded from the 15% limit.
This exception allows the Board flexibility to issue further securities up to the full 15% limit and without regard to securities issued under a properly exempted plan, but remains subject to other exceptions to the limit, such as bonus or rights issues.
Provided that the Company’s shareholders approve the potential issue of securities under the Employee Share Option Plan for three years after the 2016 Annual General Meeting, those securities will be outside the 15% restriction contained in Rule 7.1.
Shareholder approval to Resolution 4 will simply give the Board the flexibility afforded by the exception to the 15% rule available under the ASX Listing Rules. The Board can then use this flexibility and issue up to 15% of the issued capital excluding securities issued under the Employee Share Option Plan for future capital raising.
Since last approval a total of 2,465,000 options over ordinary shares have been issued under the Employee Share Option Plan, of which no options have been exercised. 7,750,000 options have lapsed at the date of the notice of AGM.
The total of ordinary shares on issue at the date of the notice of AGM is 496,488,328. The total number of options outstanding, 7,115,000 represents 1.4% of the capital on issue.
The Directors recognise the need to maintain flexibility and recommend that the shareholders approve the exception of securities issued under the ESOP from the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of the terms of the ESOP is as follows:
-
Each Option entitles the registered holder to subscribe for and be allotted one fully paid ordinary share in the capital of Living Cell Technologies Limited.
-
The Options expire at the end of the stated Exercise Period (the Exercise Period of an Option will be such period stated in the invitation in relation to the Option) in relation to that Option.
-
The Options may not be assigned, transferred or otherwise dealt without the prior consent of the Board of Living Cell Technologies Limited.
-
The exercise price for each Option shall be the fixed amount stated in relation to that Option or, where a formula is specified, the amount calculated in accordance with that formula.
6
Living Cell Technologies Limited ACN 104 028 042
-
Living Cell Technologies Limited will make an application to the ASX for official quotation of the shares allotted and issued upon the exercise of an Option (“Option Shares”), as soon as is reasonably practicable after allotment and issue of those shares.
-
The Option Share will rank equally with, and have the same rights and entitlements as the other Living Cell Technologies Limited shares on issue as at the date the Option Shares are allotted, other than any right or entitlement which has accrued prior to the date of the allotment of the Option Shares.
-
An Eligible Person cannot, in respect of any Option held under this Plan, participate in new issues by the Company without first exercising that Option.
-
If the Company proposes to make a pro rata issue of shares, the Company must give written notice to each Eligible Person who holds Options of the proposed issue at least 14 days before the record date for that issue.
-
If a bonus issue of shares is made to the holders of Shares (other than pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan or bonus share plan applying from time to time), the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the Eligible Person would have received under the bonus issue if the Eligible Person had exercised the Option before the record date for that bonus issue.
-
If a pro rata issue of shares (other than a bonus issue) is made to the holders of Shares, the Exercise Price of an Option must be reduced in accordance with the ASX Listing Rule 6.22.2.
-
If the Company’s share capital is consolidated, Options held by an Eligible Person must be consolidated in the same ratio as the Shares are consolidated. The Exercise Price of each Option so consolidated must be amended inversely to the ratio in which the Shares are consolidated. In all other respects, the terms of each Option so consolidated will remain the same as each original Option.
-
If the Company’s share capital is reorganised in any other way, the number of Options held by an Eligible Person or the Exercise Price of an Option, or both, must be amended in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules so that the Eligible Person does not receive a benefit which the holder of Shares does not receive.
-
The rights of an Eligible Person who holds Options under this Plan may be changed to comply with the listing rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
-
The numbers of Options outstanding under the Plan is limited to 5% of the shares on issue.
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in FAVOUR of resolution 4. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in FAVOUR of resolution 4.
Resolution 5 – Ratification of issue of ordinary shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 – Issue of shares to select institutional investors
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 imposes a cap on the number of securities that a company may issue within the 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of equity securities made without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 if the holders of ordinary securities subsequently approve it, and the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. The issues of the shares described below did not breach any Listing Rules and shareholder ratification to those issues is now sought.
In order to restore the Company’s capacity to issue shares, it is proposed that the Members ratify the issue of ordinary shares as detailed below. Ratification provides the Company with flexibility in capital management and allows the Company to make further issues for working capital or other purposes as required.
On 18 February 2016 the Company issued 54,607,546 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.05063 each in the capital of the Company to select institutional investors. The fully paid ordinary shares were issued pari passu to existing securities and not subject to a trading lock.

The funds raised from this issue of shares were used for working capital to carry out the Phase IIb clinical trial of lead product NTCELL[® ] in Parkinson’s disease and to apply for provisional consent to treat paying patients in New Zealand in 2017.
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in FAVOUR of resolution 5. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in FAVOUR of resolution 5.
Resolution 6 – Ratification of issue of ordinary shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 – Issue of shares to select institutional investors
Please refer to the general reasoning mentioned in Resolution 5 for putting the resolution to vote.
On 21 April 2016 the Company issued 8,349,010 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.05170 each in the capital of the Company to select institutional investors. The fully paid ordinary shares were issued pari passu to existing securities and not subject to a trading lock.

This resolution will only be put to the AGM if at least 25% of the votes cast on resolution 1 to adopt the Remuneration Report for 2016 are cast against. If less than 25% of the votes cast are against adopting the Remuneration Report, then there will be no second strike and resolution 7 will not be put to the AGM. If put, the spill resolution will be considered as an ordinary resolution. If this resolution is passed and becomes effective, a special meeting of shareholders known as a Spill Meeting must be held within 90 days.
