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 Tom Amos 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 Tom Amos, 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 Amos abstaining) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Amos.
Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Santo Carlini as a Director of the Company
Article 6.1 of the Company’s Constitution provides that a Director appointed to the Board under Rule 6.1(d) must retire from office at the next general meeting following his appointment. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election under Rule 6.1(i). Accordingly, pursuant to Article 6.1 of the Company’s Constitution, Mr Santo Carlini, being a Director of the Company, retires and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director of the Company.
The Directors (with Mr Carlini abstaining) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Carlini.
Resolution 3 –Appointment of Auditor
As announced on the ASX on 17 July 2020, BDO Audit Pty Ltd (“BDO Audit”) was appointed auditor of the Company following the resignation of BDO East Coast Partnership (“BDO ECP”) and ASIC’s consent to the resignation in accordance with s329(5) of the Corporations Act 2001 (“the Act”). The change of auditor arose as a result of BDO ECP restructuring its audit practice to provide for audits to be conducted by BDO Audit, an authorised audit company, rather than by BDO ECP.
As a result of the timing of the change, BDO Audit filled a casual vacancy in accordance with s327C(1) of the Act. Under section 327C(2) of the Act, an auditor who has been appointed under s327C(1) of the Act only holds office until the Company’s next annual general meeting. The Company is required to appoint an auditor to fill any vacancy at each annual general meeting (after its first annual general meeting) pursuant to s327B(1)(b) of the Act.
Pursuant to section 328B of the Act, the Company received a valid notice of nomination of auditor that nominated BDO Audit to be appointed as the auditor of the Company. A copy of the nomination is attached as Annexure A to this Notice of Meeting. BDO Audit has provided the Company with its written consent to act, subject to shareholders’ approval being granted, as the Company’s auditor in accordance with s328A(1) of the Act.
In accordance with s327B(1)(b) of the Act, an ordinary resolution is required at this Annual General Meeting to appoint BDO Audit as the Company’s auditor and shareholders’ approval is sought to that appointment.
The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the appointment of BDO Audit.
Resolution 4 -Non-binding vote on the 2020 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 2020 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;
==> picture [596 x 94] intentionally omitted <==
-
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 2020 Remuneration Report at the meeting.
Voting Exclusion Statement – Resolution 4
The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 4 (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 2020 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 2020 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.
During the year, the executive team and the Director’s took a voluntary reduction in remuneration to assist the Company during the COVID-19 crisis. Other than this temporary reduction, 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 2020 Remuneration Report. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
