Explanatory Memorandum

The Directors of the Company recommend shareholders read this explanatory memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions. The following information should be noted in respect of the various matters contained in the accompanying Notice.

Resolution 1 – Re‐election of Mr Ed Goodwin as a Director of the Company Article 6.1 of the Company’s Constitution provides that at every Annual General Meeting of the Company a one‐third of directors (rounded down to the nearest whole number) shall retire from office. A retiring Director is eligible for re‐election. Accordingly, pursuant to Article 6.1 of the Company’s Constitution, Mr Ed Goodwin, being a Director of the Company, retires by way of rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re‐election as a Director of the Company.

The Directors (with Mr Goodwin abstaining) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the re‐election of Mr Goodwin.

Resolution 2 ‐Non‐binding vote on the 2016 Remuneration Report

Pursuant to Section 250R (2) of the Corporations Act, a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report contained within the Directors’ Report must be put to the vote. Shareholders are advised that pursuant to Section 250R (3) of the Corporations Act, this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The 2017 Remuneration Report is set out within the Directors’ Report. The Report:

  • explains the Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of executive and non‐executive Directors and specified executives;

  • sets out remuneration details for each Director and specified executive;

  • details and explains any performance conditions applicable to the remuneration of executive Directors and specified executives; and

  • provides an explanation of the option‐based compensation payments for each Director and specified executive.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the 2017 Remuneration Report at the meeting.

Voting Exclusion Statement – Resolution 2

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 2 (in any capacity) by, or on behalf of, the following persons:

  • (a) a member of the Key Management Personnel (KMP) (which includes each of the Directors of the Company) whose remuneration is disclosed in the 2017 Remuneration Report; or

  • (b) a Closely Related Party (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act) (such as close family members and any controlled companies) of such a member of the KMP.

However, the Company will not disregard the vote if it is cast as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote and:

  • (a) the proxy appointment is in writing and specifies how the proxy is to vote (for, against, abstain); or

  • (b) the vote is cast by the person chairing the Annual General Meeting and the appointment:

  • (i) does not specify how the proxy is to vote; and

  • (ii) expressly authorises the chair of the meeting to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP,

Directors Recommendation

As described in the Remuneration Report for the 2017 financial year, members of the Company’s executive team have received minimal increases to their fixed remuneration over the past three years, whilst short and long‐term incentive payments have not fully met their trigger points due to the Company’s recent financial performance. The non‐executive directors’ remuneration has not changed since 1 January 2010.

Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of adopting the 2017 Remuneration Report. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
