EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Introduction

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the shareholders of PS&C Ltd ( Company or PS&C ) to provide information about the items of business to be considered at the General Meeting of shareholders to be held on 12 June 2018.

The Resolution is to be voted on as ordinary resolution. Ordinary resolutions require a simple majority of votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution.

ITEM 1 – Approval of Issue of Shares to Shareholders of Seisma Pty Ltd as part of Acquisition

Resolution 1

Shareholder approval is being sought in Item 1 to approve the issue of 63,823,527 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.17 cents per share as part of the Company’s acquisition of the shares in Seisma Pty Ltd ( Seisma ).

PS&C has been developing specialised practices as a way of setting it apart from its IT Professional Services competitors and as such, has identified the need to increase its presence in the growing Digital Enterprise and Information Management/Analytics solution area.

PS&C has been built by working closely with its customers, anticipating their needs and delivering solutions through innovative technologies and a streamlined project delivery approach. Industry leading growth continues to characterise PS&C’s performance as it strives to provide flexible, tailored solutions in partnership with its customers. To enable PS&C to differentiate itself from other IT Professional Services businesses it has identified the need to develop an extension to our existing business by providing the following:

  • Project Delivery Services

  • Information Management and Insights

  • Business Process and Improvements (BPI) Analysis

  • Quality Validation and Testing Digital, Mobility and Cloud

  • Managed Services

PS&C recently completed a market assessment and identified a number of potential acquisition targets. Seisma was identified as a target that would rapidly expand and grow PS&C’s capabilities.

Since that date, the opportunity has arisen to acquire Seisma. Seisma is a growing Australian IT Services Provider specialising in innovative technology solutions in Enterprise Digital Services based on a strong heritage in the industry. Seisma’s business is structured around the following core practices:

Imagine - Strategy, Design Thinking and Architecture Build - Software Development, Cloud Solutions and DevOps Deliver - Project Management Leverage - Data Management, Analytics and Business Intelligence Transform - Change Management

5

Founded in 2004, Seisma is an Australian owned and operated company which prides itself on its experience and ability to work with clients from concept to delivery with a core focus in demand services.

Seisma boasts one of the industry’s strongest sales teams with a long history of delivering strong sales, and provides significant opportunity to grow quickly within the right environment. This, combined with a strong cultural fit with the PS&C’s leadership team will, in the opinion of the board of PS&C, be an accelerator to the PS&C’s current growth plans.

PS&C is of the opinion that the acquisition of Seisma will increase pro rata revenue by approximately $21m for the year 2017-2018, with an estimated EBIT margin of 10% and 12%.

For the year 2018-2019, it is estimated that revenue growth will be between $28m and $34m with an estimated EBIT margin of between 10% and 12%.

Combining the two businesses will provide the following:

  • An additional 120 billable IT consultants

  • Additional Tier 1 Government and Banking Industry coverage outside PS&C’s existing customer base

  • Provide access to increased billable work through Seisma’s Panel Agreements and MSA (Master Services Agreements) in place

  • Substantially increase leadership and sales capabilities with the addition of the Seisma directors and sales staff into the PS&C leadership team

  • Increase utilization by leveraging on the skill sets from both companies

  • • Extend the PS&C offerings to Seisma’s existing clients.

On or around 4 May 2018, the Company entered into two Share Sale and Purchase Agreements and additional simple transfer documents with Seisma and its shareholders to acquire 100% of the share capital in Seisma (the Seisma Acquisition Agreement). The Seisma Acquisition Agreement is conditional upon the Company obtaining shareholder approval to the issue of shares to the vendors of Seisma as consideration for the acquisition.

Under the terms of the Seisma Acquisition Agreement, the total consideration payable to the majority of the vendors of Seisma is by way of an issue of shares in the Company. The following table sets out the total consideration (in shares) to be received by each vendor who is party to one of two Share Sale and Purchase Agreement with the Company:

In particular, the Seisma Vendors who are party to either of the Share Sale and Purchase Agreements have warranted that Seisma will have sufficient cash to meet its tax obligations at completion, as well as any other amounts owing to the Australian Taxation Office. Further, the Seisma Share Sale and Purchase Agreements provide that at completion neither Seisma nor any of its subsidiaries will have any liabilities whatsoever except for trade creditors, accruals and provisions for leave entitlements that are incurred in the ordinary course of business.

The Seisma Vendors who are party to either of the Share Sale and Purchase Agreements have indemnified the Company against all claims and loss which may be made, brought against, suffered or incurred by the Company which arise from any breach of the Seisma Share Sale and Purchase Agreements, including in respect of a breach of these warranties.

The liability of the Seisma Vendors who are party to either of the Share Sale and Purchase Agreements in respect of any breach of these warranties is capped at the total purchase price paid by the Company under the Seisma Acquisition Agreement.

Vendors who have not entered into either of the Seisma Share Sale and Purchase Agreements with the Company have agreed to transfer their shares according to a simple transfer. The following table sets out the total consideration (in shares) to be received by each vendor who is not a party to either of the Seisma Share Sale and Purchase Agreements with the Company:

It has been agreed that corporate advisors to Seisma will receive 175,000 shares at $0.17 per share, to be transferred to the entity Jesse 1936 Pty Ltd (ACN 169 897 509), in accordance with services rendered.

The total number of shares to be issued under the Seisma Acquisition Agreement is 63,823,527 ordinary shares.

The Company further notes that a separate vendor of Seisma, BLVD Pty Ltd has opted to receive a cash consideration of $2,750,000, to be paid in 11 quarterly instalments of $250,000 following completion of the Seisma Acquisition Agreement.

The shares will be issued to the Seisma vendors within 4 weeks of obtaining shareholder approval in accordance with Resolutions 1 and 2 of the Notice of General Meeting.

The shares issued to the vendors who are party to either of the Seisma Sale and Purchase Agreements will be subject to voluntary escrow restrictions for the following periods:

  • (a) Twenty-five percent (25%) of shares issued to each vendor be escrowed from the date of issue for a period of six (6) months;

  • (b) Twenty-five percent (25%) of shares issued to each vendor be escrowed from the date of issue for a period of twelve (12) months;

  • (c) Twenty-five percent (25%) of shares issued to each vendor be escrowed from the date of issue for a period of eighteen (18) months; and

  • (d) Twenty-five percent (25%) of shares issued to each vendor be escrowed from the date of issue for a period of twenty-four (24) months.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 restricts the Company to issuing a maximum of 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period unless it obtains shareholder approval for the issue.

The Company now seeks its shareholders approval to the issue of the Shares contemplated above in order to maintain its 15% cap, by seeking shareholders’ approval to this Item 1.

The Directors consider that the reinstatement of the 15% cap will give them greater flexibility in possible future capital raisings, as may be necessary to meet the working capital or other requirements of the business to fund possible future acquisitions.

The purpose of Resolution 1 is for shareholders to approve, under ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the issue of Shares under the Issue of Shares to Shareholders of Seisma as part of acquisition by the Company. Shares shall be issued using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

8

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that subject to certain exceptions (none of which are relevant here) prior approval of shareholders is required for an issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the entity during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of the securities at the commencement of that 12-month period.

Part of the allotment and issue of securities detailed in Resolution 1 shall be made using the entity’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, with the approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 thereby replenishing that entity’s 15% capacity and enabling it to issue further securities up to that limit.

ITEM 2. Approval for Issue of Shares to Glenn Fielding as part of Seisma Pty Ltd acquisition Resolution 1

Resolution 2

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that the Company must not issue securities to a related party of the Company unless it obtains shareholder approval.

Mr Glenn Fielding (Managing Director) is, in his capacity as a Director, a related party of the Company as that term is defined in the Listing Rules.

Accordingly, Resolution 2 seeks shareholder approval for the Issue of Shares to related entities of Mr Fielding as a vendor of shares in Seisma Pty Ltd.

The proposed Issue of Shares to related entities of Mr Fielding is on the same terms and conditions as offered to other shareholders of Seisma.

The shares will be issued at a price of $0.17 cents per share to related entities of Mr Fielding, and the total number of shares to be issued to related entities of Mr Fielding will be 2,708,823, subject to Resolution 2 being passed. Resolution 2 is also subject to the shareholder approval of Resolution 1.

The below table indicates the related entities of Mr Fielding:

Voting exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is contained in the Notice of General Meeting

The Company also notes that the issue of shares to related entities of Mr Fielding will not be credited towards the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This is because Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, provides that shareholder approval is not required for an issue of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 where it is obtained separately under Listing Rule 10.11.

Recommendation

The Directors, apart from Mr Fielding, recommend voting in favour of the allotment and issue of securities described above. The Chairman of the meeting will be voting any undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.
