EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
RESOLUTION 1 - ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
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 other Key Management Personnel of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors' Report contained in the Annual Report. The Chair must allow a reasonable opportunity for its Shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
Voting consequences
Under the Corporations Act, 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 two consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a resolution in respect of a remuneration report vote against the adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to a 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. If a Spill Resolution is put to shareholders, 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, each person whose election or re-election as a director of the company was approved will continue as a director of the company.
Proxy voting restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:
| Person appointed as proxy | Where directions are given on voting form |
Where no directions are given on voting form |
|---|---|---|
| Key Management Personnel1 | Vote as directed | Unable to vote3 |
| Chair2 | Vote as directed | Able to vote at discretion of proxy is expressly authorised to so do under the voting form4 |
| Other | Vote as directed | Able to vote as discretion of proxy |
Notes:
1 Refers to Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of that Key Management Personnel.
2 Refers to the Chair (where they are also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report), or a Closely Related Party of the Chair.

(c) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company's activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company's main undertaking).
Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity is 75% of the VWAP of equity securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded on the ASX immediately before:
(a) the date on which the price at which the equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the securities; or
(b) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.
Purpose of an issue under 10% Placement Capacity
Equity securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity can only be made for cash consideration. The purpose of any issue would be set out for Shareholders at the time of such an issue. In general terms, the Company can issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for, either or both of, working capital purposes or to fund growth opportunities.
Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive their pro rata interest in the Shares allotted under the issue.
If this Resolution 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, in the circumstances set out in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 13 October 2022 (Closing Price) and the number of Shares for variable A, calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) has increased by 50% and by 100% and the economic dilution where the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity is 50% less than the Closing Price and 100% greater than the Closing Price.

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 ASX Listing Rule 7 .1.
The table above has been prepared on the basis of the following assumptions:
(a) the Issue Price set out in the table is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 13 October 2022;
(b) the Company issues the maximum possible number of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity;
(c) no options or rights convertible into Shares are exercised;
(d) the Company has not issued any equity securities in the 12 months prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or which were not approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
(e) this table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7 .1 or ASX Listing Rule 10.11 obtained at the Meeting; and
(f) the issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
(a) the market price for the Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
(b) the equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market share price for the shares on the date of issue or the equity securities may be issues as part of the consideration for the acquisition of an asset, both of which may affect the amount of funds raised by the issue.
Shareholders should also note that the calculations in the table 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.
Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity
The allottees of the equity securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will depend on prevailing market conditions and will be determined on a case by case basis. However, the allottees of the equity securities could consist of the current Shareholders, new investors or both, provided that such allottee is not a relates party of the company. Allottees may also include vendors of assets into the company.

(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 of 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;

Voting exclusion statement
As at the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any existing Shareholder, security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in any issues of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, a voting exclusion statement has not included in the Notice in respect of this Resolution and no existing Shareholders Votes will be excluded in respect of the Resolution.
Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that you vote in favour of this Resolution.
RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN
General
The terms and conditions of the Company’s current Employee Incentive Plan ( EIP ) were approved by the Board and Shareholders on 18 October 2019. To issue securities under an EIP after this date approval from Shareholders is required under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). Accordingly, the terms and conditions of the updated EIP are submitted for approval from Shareholders for a three-year period from the date on which Resolution 5 is passed.
The Board is to be given discretion under the EIP to issue Incentives in the form of either options or performance rights which may ultimately vest and be converted into Shares on exercise, subject to satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions.
Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits the Company (subject to specified exceptions) from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities in any 12 month period which amount to more than 15% of its ordinary securities without the approval of Shareholders of its ordinary securities ( 15% Placement Capacity ).
Listing Rule 7.2
Listing Rule 7.2 provides certain exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1, allowing certain issues of securities to be excluded from the calculation of the number of securities issued during the 12 month period. Exception 13(b) of Listing Rule 7.2 provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to securities issued under an employee incentive plan, if within three years before the date of issue, Shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the EIP as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 5 proposes that Shareholders consider and approve the EIP in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), which would enable securities issued under the EIP over the next three years to be excluded from the calculation of the number of securities under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Incentive Plan to eligible participants over a period of three years from the date on which Resolution 5 is passed up to a nominated maximum amount, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to issue securities under the EIP to eligible participants without using the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following any such issue.

Specific Information Required by Listing Rule 7.2
In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), the following information is provided:
-
(a) a summary of the material terms of the EIP are set out in Annexure A and form part of the Notice of Annual General Meeting;
-
(b) 6,402,425 securities have been issued under the EIP since the Company was listed on the ASX on 6 December 2019;
-
(c) the maximum number of securities that can be issued under the EIP is 12,835,730 securities, which is equivalent to 5% of the Company’s issued share capital; and
-
(d) a voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 5 has been included in the notice.
Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion applies to Resolution 5 on the terms set out in the Notice.
Board Recommendation
As each Director is eligible to participate in the EIP, the Directors make no recommendation as to how Shareholders should vote on Resolution 5.
RESOLUTION 6 – AMENDMENTS TO CONSTITUTION
General
Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act 2001, a company can modify its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of its members. Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval by special resolution to amend its Constitution as set out below.
It is proposed that the Company’s Constitution be amended to reflect changes in law, regulation and market practice since the Constitution was adopted in 2019.
Proposed amendments summary:
CHESS Replacement:
CHESS is ASX’s system that clears and settles trades in Australia’s equity markets and maintains the CHESS subregister of security holdings. In December 2017, the ASX announced that the current CHESS clearing system would be replaced by the “CHESS Replacement”, a distributed ledger technology (DLT) based system. This change is set to be implemented in April 2023.
CHESS Replacement will upgrade critical market infrastructure to allow for increased efficiency and deliver new functionality. The proposed amendments to clause 4.5 of the Constitution will entitle the Company to record the names of four joint holders of a security in respect of a CHESS holding instead of three.
This amendment will provide consistency between the Constitution and the new CHESS system.
Virtual meetings of members:
The Corporations Amendment (Meetings and Documents) Bill 2021 (Bill) received Assent on 22 February 2022. The Bill made permanent changes to existing requirements under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the Corporations Act) that enables companies and registered schemes to use technology to hold meetings, execute company documents, and sign and distribute meetings-related documents.

Proposed amendments to the Company’s Constitution provide that, subject to the Corporations Act, the Company may hold a wholly virtual general meeting. These amendments will clarify that a general meeting may be held by the Company in one of three ways:
-
At a physical venue (‘physical meeting’);
-
At one or more physical venues using technology (‘hybrid meeting’, a physical meeting in conjunction with online facilities to allow remote participation); or
-
Using virtual meeting technology only (‘virtual meeting’, where all members participate via online facilities)
The amendments to the Constitution include:
-
Adding a definition of Virtual Meeting Technology
-
Amending clause 9 of the Constitution, which deals with how general meetings are called and held
-
Allowing a general meeting to be held in more than one room or physical location, including by Virtual Meeting Technology
-
Flow-on changes such as clause cross-references.
This resolution is a special resolution and requires support from 75% of the votes cast.
Access to a full copy of the proposed new constitution showing the proposed changes are available on the Company’s website at www.amaero.com.au. The Company will send a copy of the constitution showing the proposed changes (at the Company’s expense) to any Shareholder upon request.

Annexure A: Summary of the Terms of the Employee Incentive Plan
Pursuant to the EIP, the Company may offer Plan Shares, Employee Options or Employee Performance Rights on the terms and conditions summarised below.
A copy of the full terms of the EIP, as summarised above, is available to Shareholders of the Company, free of charge, on request.
(a) Eligibility
Any employee, consultant or Director of the Company may be declared by the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be eligible to participate in the Employee Incentive Plan ( Eligible Participant ).
(b) Consideration
Unless the Board otherwise determines, an Eligible Participant will not be required to make any payment in consideration for the grant of an Employee Incentive under the Employee Incentive Plan.
(c) Maximum allocation
The Employee Incentive Plan provides a limit on the number of Employee Incentives that can be issued under the plan such that an issue of an Employee Incentive must not result in the number of Plan Shares, Employee Options or Employee Performance Rights, in aggregate, in the previous three years exceeding 5% of the total number of Shares on issue.
(d) Employee Loans
The Employee Incentive Plan also provides that the Board may, in its discretion, elect to provide an Eligible Participant with a limited recourse, interest free loan for an amount equal to the issue price of any Plan Share to enable the Eligible Participant to subscribe for Plan Shares. These loans are repayable:
-
(i) upon the Employee ceasing to be employed by the Company; or
-
(ii) 30 days after the Company elects (by act or omission) not to buy back the relevant Shares where it has the right to do so; or
(iii) The Employee otherwise disposes of the Shares.
In the event the Eligible Participant defaults on their obligation to repay the loan, the Company’s only recourse is to sell the relevant Plan Shares or dispose of any number of Plan Shares to repay the outstanding amount and the costs of the sale or disposal.
(e) Terms of Plan Shares
The rights attaching to the Plan Shares are the same as Shares. The terms of the EIP will
prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with those rights.
- (f) Terms of Employee Options and Performance Rights
(i) Employee Options
Exercise Price, Expiry Date and Entitlement
Each Employee Option shall have an exercise price (Exercise Price) and expiry date ( Expiry Date ) determined by the Company at the time of issue of the Employee Options.
Each Employee Option entitles the holder ( Employee Optionholder ) to subscribe for one Share on payment of the Exercise Price.
Vesting Conditions and Exercise Period
The Employee Options may be subject to vesting conditions ( Vesting Conditions ), including time elapsed from the date of Quotation. Each Employee Option is exercisable from the date of satisfaction or of waiver by the Board of the relevant Vesting Conditions and before the Expiry Date ( Exercise Period ).
- (ii) Employee Performance Rights
Performance Condition and Performance Period
Each Employee Performance Right will entitle an Eligible Participant ( Performance Rightsholder ) to be automatically issued one Share upon the satisfaction of the Performance Criteria.
The Employee Performance Rights may be subject to performance criteria ( Performance Criteria ) which must be satisfied during a period specified by the Board of the Company ( Performance Period ).
(iii) Shares issued on exercise
Shares issued upon exercise of an Employee Option or an Employee Performance Right will rank equally with the Shares of the Company and third party interests and the Company
will apply to ASX for quotation of the Shares.
(iv) Participation in new issues, voting rights and dividends
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Employee Options nor the Employee Performance Rights and Employee Optionholders and Performance Rightsholders will not be entitled to vote, receive any dividends or participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Employee Options and the Employee Performance Rights unless and until the Employee Options have been exercised or the Performance Criteria has been satisfied and the Performance Rightsholder is issued Shares.
- (v) Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares
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 an Employee Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the Holder would have received if the Holder had exercised the Employee Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and
-
(B) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.
-
(vi) Adjustment for rights issue
If the Company makes an issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the Exercise Price of an Employee Option will be reduced according to the formula in Listing Rule 6.22 so that the Holder does not suffer any detriment as a result of the pro rata issue.
(vii) Adjustment for reorganisation
If there is any reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the Holders of Employee Options will be varied to comply the Listing Rules which apply to the reorganisation at the time of the reorganisation.
The number of Employee Performance Rights held by an Employee may, in the discretion of the Board, be determined to be such number as appropriate and so that the Employee does not suffer any material detriment following any variation in the share capital of the Company arising from a reorganisation of the share capital.
Non-Transferable and No Quotation
- (viii)
The Employee Options are nontransferable but the Employee may nominate a Related Party of the Employee Optionholder to hold the Options subject Board approval. Employee Options will not be quoted.
The Employee Performance Rights are non- transferable and are unquoted securities.
(g) Takeovers and Reconstruction
The Board of the Company must give the Eligible Participant notice ( Notice ) of:
-
(i) any takeover bid or other offer to acquire all of the Shares of the Company; or
-
(ii) under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act, a Court sanctions a compromise or arrangement proposed for the purpose of, or in connection with, a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies which, if implemented, would result in a change in the control of the Company.
Upon receiving a Notice, an Eligible Participant is entitled:
-
(i) in the case of Employee Options, to exercise all or any of their Employee Options in the offer period referred to in the Notice or in the notice period for the shareholders’ meeting the subject of the Notice; and
-
(ii) in the case of Employee Performance Rights, to make a request to the Board of the Company to determine that all existing Employee Performance Rights vest immediately and Plan Shares in respect of all such Employee Performance Rights be issued to the Eligible Participant, in which case:
-
(A) the Board of the Company must process such a request as soon as possible with reference to the Performance Criteria relating to those Employee Performance Rights; and
-
(B) the Board of the Company may determine at its discretion the number (if any) of Employee Performance Rights which shall vest and must provide that number of Shares to the Eligible Participant.
-
(h) Lapse of Employee Performance Rights and Options
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, any Employee Options and Employee Performance Rights automatically lapse if:
- (i) the Eligible Participant ceases employment or hold office with the Company;
the exercise of Incentive Stock Options (as defined in the US Appendix) shall not exceed 8 million ( US Share Limit ).
- (ii) The US Appendix (and each amendment to the US Appendix), the total cap and the ISO Share Limit are subject to approval of a majority of the outstanding Securities of the Company entitled to vote within a period beginning twelve (12) months before and ending twelve (12) months after the date on which the US Appendix (or any such amendment) is adopted by the Board.
- (iii) The US Appendix has a term of ten years.
-
(ii) the Eligible Participant becomes a Good Leaver and does not exercise all vested Employee Options for 90 days after the Eligible Participant becomes Good Leaver;

-
(v) where the Board has determined that the Eligible Participant has, by any act or omission, brought the Company into disrepute;
-
(vi) the receipt by the Company of notice from the Eligible Participant that the Eligible Participant has elected to surrender the Employee Options or Employee Performance Right; or
-
(vii) any other circumstances specified in the offer made to the Eligible Participant pursuant to which the Employee Options or Employee Performance Rights were issued.
-
(i) US Addendum
Any offer made by the Board under the Employee Incentive Plan to Eligible Participants who are citizens or residents of the United States of America ( US Participants ) will be covered by the additional terms of the US Appendix to the Employee Incentive Plan ( US Appendix ).
The US Appendix specifically stipulates the following:

Any undirected proxies that default to the Chair of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Voting Form, including where the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of KMP.
STEP 2 - VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS
You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid. APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise. If you do not specify a percentage or number, each proxy may exercise half the votes. You must return both Proxy Voting Forms together. If you require an additional Proxy Voting Form, contact Automic Registry Services.
