3. Explanatory Memorandum
3.1 Background
AIT is an Australian registered managed investment scheme that was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2005. The investment strategy of AIT is to invest in absolute return funds (directly or indirectly) and other direct investments in equity and debt instruments with the aim of maximising return to Members over the longer term.
In January 2009, the Members of AIT approved the appointment of Perpetual to replace Everest Capital Investment Management Limited as the responsible entity of AIT. On its appointment as responsible entity of AIT, Perpetual appointed Laxey Partners (UK) Limited ( Laxey ) as the investment manager and, together with Laxey, commenced undertaking an orderly wind up of AIT so as to realise AIT's assets and provide an optimal return for Members.
AIT has exposure to its underlying investments via a total return swap agreement with Macquarie Bank ( Swap ). The Swap itself has three distinct elements, first, a basket of investments to which AIT has 100% exposure; secondly a basket of investments to which AIT has approximately 73% exposure and finally approximately 73% exposure to a secondary swap which in turn gives AIT exposure to a basket of investments which require a US onshore investor. Under the provisions of the Swap, Macquarie Bank Limited has the right to terminate the Swap in the event that there is a change in responsible entity of AIT, or any step is taken to appoint another responsible entity of AIT.
In early 2015 Perpetual initiated a process to consider a range of corporate initiatives to identify opportunities to take advantage of the inherent value of AIT. The process has included seeking expressions of interest from prospective investment managers to manage and implement a new investment strategy for AIT going forward to ensure the value of AIT is available to members.
As at the date of the Requisition Notice this process had been ongoing.
3.2 What is this document?
This Explanatory Memorandum for AIT sets out the background to the Resolutions as set out in the Notice of Meeting.
You are receiving this document as Perpetual's records indicate that you are a Member as at the date of this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum.
Under section 252F of the Corporations Act, Perpetual is required to give Members at least 21 days' notice of a meeting of Members. This document provides that notice.
3.3 Why has the Meeting been called?
On 19 July 2016, Perpetual was issued with a notice of requisition of meeting pursuant to sections 252B and 601FM(1A) (as inserted by ASIC Class Order 13/519) of the Corporations Act ( Requisition Notice ). The Requisition Notice requested that Perpetual, in its capacity as responsible entity of AIT, call a meeting of members of AIT to consider and vote on the Resolutions.
In accordance with sections 252B and 601FM(1A) of the Corporations Act, Perpetual must call a meeting of Members within 21 days and hold the requested meeting within 2 months of receiving the Requisition Notice from the Requisitioning Members.
9
The purpose of the Meeting is to vote on the Resolutions which, if passed, will result in Perpetual being replaced as the responsible entity of AIT by One Managed Investment Funds Limited ACN 117 400 987.
The Requisition Notice served on Perpetual was issued by the following Members, who together hold at least 5% of the votes that may be cast on the Resolutions:
-
(a) Resurgence Capital Pty Limited ATF Resurgence Capital Unit Trust;
-
(b) Molleen Pty Limited;
-
(c) Valamoon Pty Limited ATF Danny Goldberg Superannuation Fund;
-
(d) Dakota Capital Pty Limited;
-
(e) SJA Pty Limited; and
-
(f) Chriswall Holdings Pty Limited ATF David Goldberg Family Trust No. 4,
(together, the Requisitioning Members ).
3.4 Who is paying for the Meeting?
In accordance with section 252B(9) of the Corporations Act, Perpetual is responsible for the expenses of calling and holding the Meeting and distributing this document and may meet those expenses from the assets of AIT.
4. Passing of Resolutions
4.1
Replacing a responsible entity at the request of members
Under section 601FM of the Corporations Act, if members of a registered scheme want to remove the responsible entity, they may take action under Division 1 of Part 2G.4 of the Corporations Act for the calling of a members' meeting to consider and vote on a resolution that the current responsible entity should be removed and a resolution choosing a company to be the new responsible entity.
Under section 601FM(1A) of the Corporations Act (as inserted by ASIC Class Order 13/519), where a registered scheme is listed, the kind of resolution that members must pass to change the responsible entity is an ordinary resolution.
An ordinary resolution will be passed if more than 50% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote and present at the meeting (either in person or by proxy) are cast in favour of the resolution.
4.2
Consequences if both Resolutions are passed
If both Resolutions are passed, One Managed Investment Funds Limited ACN 117 400 987 will become the responsible entity of AIT, provided that One Managed Investment Funds Limited ACN 117 400 987 has first consented in writing to becoming the responsible entity of AIT.
The removal of Perpetual and the appointment of One Managed Investment Funds Limited ACN 117 400 987 will take effect upon the lodgement of a notice of change of responsible entity with ASIC (which must be completed and lodged by Perpetual as soon as possible and in any event within two business days after the Appointment Resolution is passed) and
10
ASIC updating its records to name One Managed Investment Funds Limited ACN 117 400 987 as the responsible entity of AIT.
As a consequence of One Managed Investment Funds Limited ACN 117 400 987 becoming the responsible entity of AIT, the rights, obligations and liabilities of Perpetual in relation to AIT will become the rights, obligations and liabilities of One Managed Investment Funds Limited ACN 117 400 987 as the responsible entity of AIT.
4.3 Consequences if the Removal Resolution is not passed
If the Removal Resolution is not passed, Perpetual will remain as responsible entity of AIT.
4.4 Consequences if the Removal Resolution is passed but the Appointment Resolution is not passed
The Removal Resolution and the Appointment Resolution are not interdependent. This means that if members vote in favour of the Removal Resolution but do not vote in favour of the Appointment Resolution, AIT must be wound up in accordance with the Corporations Act.
