BUSINESS

Although not requiring a vote of Members, an opportunity will be provided for Members to ask questions on the reports, including of the Company’s auditor, who will be available to answer Member questions relating to the Audit Report.

RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION REPORT

The Board is committed to creating value for Shareholders by applying the Company’s funds productively and responsibly. A portion of the funds available to the Company is applied to remunerate your Non-Executive Directors.

Your Board is aware of the sensitivities of Shareholders to remuneration practices generally, and submits its remuneration report to Shareholders for consideration and adoption under a non-binding resolution.

The Remuneration Report appears within the Directors’ Report in the Company’s Annual Report and describes the remuneration practices of the Company and the rationale underpinning those practices.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution.

RESOLUTION 2: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR (Mr Richard Martin)

Under the Company’s Constitution, (clause 20.2), one third of Directors must retire from office annually and, if eligible, may offer themselves for re-election.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board supports the re-election of Mr Martin.

RESOLUTION 3: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR (Ms Laura Iacusso)

Ms Iacusso is a Director of Transocean Group Pty. Ltd. and a chartered accountant with over 20 years experience in providing investment banking and corporate finance services to emerging companies, including the medical products and diagnostics sector. She specialises in providing advice relating to corporate transactions and strategies including overall project management, valuation, due diligence and other transaction support, corporate advice associated with transactions, stock exchange listings, capital raisings and commercial negotiations.

Prior to joining Transocean Ms Iacusso was a Corporate Finance partner with Deloitte in Australia.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board supports the re-election of Ms Laura Iacusso.

RESOLUTIONS 4 to 7: APPROVAL FOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS

Shareholder approval is being sought in Resolutions 4 to 7, to grant a total of 20,800,000 options to the following Directors:

  • (a) 13,000,000 options are to be issued to Dr Geoffrey Cumming, Managing Director;

  • (b) 5,000,000 options are to be issued to Mr James Henderson, Chairman and Non-Executive Director;

  • (c) 1,400,000 options are to be issued to Mr Richard Martin, Non-Executive Director;

  • (d) 1,400,000 options are to be issued to Ms Laura Iacusso, Non-Executive Director.

Anteo currently provides no long term equity incentive for the Directors. Industry trends are providing equity incentives to directors as a means of reducing cash out-flow and giving directors a performance related incentive. The Board considers that the current state of the Company and achievements to date warrants the issue of Plan Options to Directors.

The options will be issued under the ESOP which was approved by shareholders at the 2008 Annual General Meeting, as it entitles all Directors to participate and acquire securities. A copy of the ESOP is available on request to the Company Secretary, Shane Hartwig.

Each Director has played a key and integral role in the future benefit of the Company and therefore for increased shareholder value. The proposed issue of Plan Options is based on each Director’s contributions to the Company.

Reason for Shareholder Approval

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 states that a company must not permit a Director or their associate to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of ordinary shareholders. Accordingly, approval is sought under this Rule.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act also prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit (which includes the grant of Plan Options) to a related party of the public company (which includes directors of the Company) unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions; or

  • (b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

Notice of 2010 AGM EM (Anteo) (clean final)1633346(1) (2).DOCX

  • 3 -

Although the issue of Plan Options to the Directors might be said to fall within a nominated exception under the Corporations Act for shareholder approval (being reasonable remuneration of an officer or employee), your directors consider it prudent to seek shareholder approval nonetheless under the Corporations Act.

Terms of Plan Options

The proposed terms of the Plan Options are set out at Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum.

Listing Rule 10.14 information

The following information is provided to shareholders for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.14:

  • (a) the number of Plan Options to be granted is 20,800,000;

RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES IN RELATION TO THE GRANT OF PLAN OPTIONS

The following additional disclosures are made for the purposes of the Corporations Act:

(a) The nature of the financial benefit

The proposed financial benefit to be given is the grant of Plan Options for no cash consideration.

(b) Valuation of Plan Options

The Directors, in conjunction with the Company's advisers, have determined the value of the Plan Options using the Black Scholes model for pricing of financial options. This valuation model uses inputs including time to expiration, strike price, value of the underlying financial instrument, implied volatility and the risk free interest rate.

For the purposes of this Explanatory Memorandum, in order to calculate an indicative value of the Plan Options for the purposes of the Black Scholes model, it has been assumed that the Plan Options have notionally been issued on 19 October 2010 so that they expire on 19 October 2014.

On the days where Shares have not traded the previous day's closing price has been used. The resulting volatility figure is historical and this has been used as a guide to estimating implied volatility. The volatility figure has been discounted to take into account the fact that the Plan Options are exercisable 4 years from the date of issue. It should be noted that volatility is a subjective input into the calculation of financial Plan Options using the Black Scholes method.

Using this method of valuation the Company has determined a value of $0.0116 for each of the Plan Options to be granted to the Directors under the Option Plan. Accordingly, on the basis of this calculation, the total financial benefit to be given to the Directors amounts to:

Dr Cumming $150,800 Mr Henderson $58,000 Mr Martin $16,240 Ms Iacusso $16,240

Whilst the Black Scholes model has valued each Plan Option at $0.0116, the Board consider that this value does not necessarily reflect the true commercial value of the Plan Options received by the Directors (i.e. willing buyer/willing seller), particularly given that there are a number of vesting conditions attached to the Plan Options.

The assumptions used by the Company in calculating the values of the Plan Options were as follows:

Share Price $0.047 Exercise Price $0.07 Volatility 39.4% Vesting date 31/01/2011, 31/01/2012 and 31/01/2013 Expiry date 19[th] October 2014 (notional 4 yrs from calculation date) Risk free rate 5.5% Staff Turnover N/A Exercise Multiple N/A Dividends Nil

  • (c) Other information that is reasonably required by members to make a decision and that is known to the Company or any of its Directors

If any Plan Options granted as proposed above are exercised the effect would be to dilute the share holding of existing shareholders. The market price of the Company's shares during the period of the Plan Options will normally determine whether or not the Option holder will exercise the Plan Options. At the time any Plan Options are exercised and Shares are issued pursuant to their exercise, the Shares may be trading at a price which is higher than the exercise price of the Plan Options.

The highest price of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company trading on ASX during the past 12 months was $0.105 which occurred on 15[th] January 2010 and the lowest price of shares in the Company trading on ASX during the past 12 months was $0.006 which last occurred on 6[th]

January 2010. The most recent closing price of shares in the Company trading on the ASX prior to the date of the Notice of Meeting was $0.046 which occurred on 20[th] October 2010.

The other remuneration currently being received by the Directors is set out on page 17 of the enclosed 2010 Annual Report of the Company. It is intended that the total remuneration of the Directors will be consistent over the next 3 financial years, subject to standard allowances (for example CPI increases and Dr Cumming meeting KPI’s under his employment agreement). The Company will provide information in relation to the Directors remuneration in future Annual Reports.

The shares and Plan Options currently held directly and indirectly by the Directors as at the date of the Notice of Meeting are set out below:

Mr Martin Nil Nil 0.00% 1,400,000 0.17%
Ms Iacusso 333,333 Nil 0.04% 1,400,000 0.22%

The number of Plan Options to be issued to the Directors was chosen by the Company’s Remuneration Committee in order to provide them with an appropriate mix of cash remuneration and remuneration by way of Plan Options. The Plan Options component of the remuneration provides a link to the medium term and long term strategies of growing the Company for the benefit of all shareholders.

It is not considered that from an economic and commercial point of view there are any costs or detriments, including opportunity costs or taxation consequences, for the Company or benefits forgone by the Company resulting from the issue of the Plan Options pursuant to Resolutions 4 - 7.

There will be an effect on the Company’s earnings for the period to 30[th] June 2011 in that the Company will likely recognize a share based payment expense in the Company’s Profit and Loss Statement of $241,338. This will have a corresponding increase in the Retained Losses in the Company’s Balance Sheet as at 30[th] June 2011.

DIRECTORS RECOMMENDATIONS

In relation to Resolutions 4 to 7, each Director, other than the Director to whom the Plan Options are to be issued:

  • (a) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 to 7 for reasons set out above; and

  • (b) confirms they have no interest in the outcome of the relevant Resolution.

In relation to the Director to whom the Plan Options are to be issued in each instance under Resolutions 4 to 7, that Director makes no recommendation because they have an interest in the outcome of that Resolution, namely the proposed allotment to them of Plan Options.

PROXY FORM

Instructions for completion and return of proxy form

  1. Completion of this Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the Meeting in person, then the Proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  2. A shareholder of the Company entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two Proxies. Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy must be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the shareholder’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two Proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

  3. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

  4. If you mark the abstain box for a particular item, you are directing your proxy not to vote on that item on a show of hands or on a poll and that your shares are not to be counted in computing the required majority on a poll.

  5. If a representative of a company shareholder is to attend the Meeting, a properly executed original (or certified copy) of the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced for admission to the Meeting. Previously lodged “Certificates of Appointment of Corporate Representative” will be disregarded by the Company.

  6. If a representative as Power of Attorney of a shareholder is to attend the meeting, a properly executed original (or originally certified copy) of an appropriate Power of Attorney must also be received at least forty eight (48) hours before the meeting.
