Resolution 1: Adoption of the Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of 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 members. However, in accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the Annual Report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2024.

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

Voting Consequences

As Resolution 1 is advisory only, if it is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any arrangements in the Remuneration Report. However, under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report, the Company is required to put to Shareholders at the second AGM a resolution proposing the calling of a further general meeting to consider the appointment of Directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ).

At the Company’s 2023 AGM the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Company has not previously received a strike (i.e., a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more) against its remuneration report.

Voting Exclusion Statement:

In accordance with sections 250BD(1) and 250R(4) of the Corporations Act, a vote on this resolution must not be cast by:

  • a member of the Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) of the Company whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such member; or

  • a person appointed as a proxy where that person is either a member of the KMP of the Group or a Closely Related Party of any such member.

However, in accordance with the Corporations Act, a person described above may vote on this resolution if the vote:

  • is cast by such person appointed as proxy for a person who is permitted to vote, in accordance with the direction specified on the proxy form how to vote; or

  • is cast by the chair of the meeting as proxy for a person who is permitted to vote, in accordance with an express authorisation specified on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP of the Company.

If the Chair of the Meeting is appointed as a proxy for a person who is permitted to vote on this Resolution, the Chair will vote any proxies which do not indicate on their proxy form the way the Chair must vote, in favour of the Resolution.

Board Recommendation

As the Remuneration Report includes the Directors’ own remuneration, the Directors make no recommendation to Shareholders in relation to this Resolution.

Chair’s Undirected Proxies

Shareholders should be aware that any undirected proxies given to the Chair will be cast by the Chair and counted in favour of the Resolution, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act.

Resolution 2: Re-Election of Director

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, a director appointed to fill a casual vacancy must not hold office without re-election past the next annual general meeting.

Peter Barber was appointed as a Director on 14 February 2024, and being eligible, makes himself available for election at this Meeting. Details relevant to the consideration of Peter Barber’s appointment are set out below.

Mr Barber has had an over 35-year corporate and video production career, initially in TV commercial production at AAV’s Bank Street South Melbourne studios, and in Singapore, before joining Apple to lead the roll-out of its Final Cut Pro video editing solution and other professional video products across the Asia Pacific.

In 2001, Mr Barber co-founded Blackmagic Design, one of the world's leading creative video technology and software businesses and remains a substantial shareholder in the company to this day. He held multiple positions, including President of Post-Production and Creative Services and Global

Product Marketing Manager. In addition, he drove M&A leading the acquisition of seven businesses significantly growing the company’s product portfolio.

Mr Barber left Blackmagic Design as an executive in 2017 to spend more time with family and pursue other business interests in Singapore but has remained in close contact with key industry partners and upcoming players.

Having regard to the ASX Principles, the Company’s Board does not regard Peter Barber to be an independent director.

Board Recommendation

The Directors (with Mr Barber abstaining) unanimously support the Election of Peter Barber and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Chair’s Undirected Proxies

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies for Resolution 2 as “For”.

Resolution 3: Ratification of previous issue of Additional Placement Shares

As announced to the market on 12 April 2024 the Company conducted a non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer to all eligible Shareholders (Entitlement Offer) and a placement to institutional and professional investors (Placement). On 16 May 2024 the Company announced that it had conducted an additional placement (Additional Placement) of 8,521,360 Shares (Additional Placement Shares) to raise a further $0.17m before costs. The Additional Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period. The Additional Placement Shares do not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of issue.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows shareholders to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Listing Rule 7.1 shareholder approval. To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval of the Additional Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Additional Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Additional Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.

Information required to be provided under ASX Listing Rule 7.5

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, which contains requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the following information is provided to Shareholders:

No. of securities issued 8,521,360 Additional Placement Shares

Voting Exclusion Statement:

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of the Resolution by anyone who received Additional Placement Shares or an associate thereof.

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of a resolution by:

  • a. a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the Resolution in that way; or

  • b. the Chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the Chair to vote on the Resolution as the Chair decides; or

  • c. a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate or a person excluded from voting, on the Resolution; and

  • the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

Board Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Chair’s Undirected Proxies

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies for Resolution 3 as “For”.

Resolution 4: Approval of 10% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to add an additional 10% capacity.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. As of the date of drafting this Notice of Meeting, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $44.95 million and therefore is an eligible entity.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1

Resolution 4 is a Special Resolution. For a Special Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of the votes validly cast on the resolution by shareholders (by number of ordinary shares) must be in favour of this Resolution.

    • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
  • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,

  • plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period),

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period;

D = 10%.

E = the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under rule 7.4; and

“relevant period” means:

  • if the entity has been admitted to the official list for 12 months or more, the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement; or

  • if the entity has been admitted to the official list for less than 12 months, the period from the date the entity was admitted to the official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.

Conditions of Issue under the 10% Placement Capacity

  • the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing shareholders under various scenarios on the basis of:

  • an issue price of $0.038 per Share which was the closing price of the Company’s Shares on the ASX on 3 October 2024; and

  • (a) two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased by 50% and 100%.

Resolution 5: Renewal Of Proportional Takeover Provisions

The Company wishes to reinsert the proportional takeovers provisions in its current Constitution, which was last adopted by Shareholders on 27 December 2018. Further details in relation to this renewal are set out as follows:

Renewal of proportional takeover provisions

The Company’s Constitution contains provisions concerning “Proportional Takeover Bid Approval” in Clause 25 (Proportional Takeover Approval Provisions). The Proportional Takeover Provisions provide that the Company can refuse to register Shares acquired under a proportional takeover bid unless an approving resolution is passed by Shareholders.

Section 648G(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a company’s proportional takeover provisions will cease to have effect at the end of three years from the date of adoption (or renewal, as the case may be). Clause 25 of the Company’s Constitution was adopted on 27 December 2018. The Company accordingly seeks the Shareholder approval of this Resolution for the reinsertion of the Proportional Takeover Provisions, which, for the purposes of the Corporations Act, requires the same process to amend or adopt a new constitution for the purposes of 136(2) of the Corporations Act. Shareholder approval will not result in a change to the wording of Clause 25 of the Company’s current Constitution.

The following information is provided for the purposes of Section 648G of the Corporations Act.

Proportional takeover bid

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each Shareholder is only for a proportion of the Shareholder’s Shares. If a Shareholder accepts, in full, an offer under a proportional takeover bid, the Shareholder will only dispose of a specified portion of their Shares in the Company and retain the balance of the Shares.

The Proportional Takeover Provisions are designed to assist Shareholders to receive proper value for their Shares if a proportional takeover bid is made for the Company by providing, in the Constitution that:

  • (a) in the event of a proportional takeover bid being made for Shares in the Company, Shareholders are required to vote and collectively decide whether to accept or reject the offer; and

  • (b) the majority decision of the Company’s members will be binding on all Shareholders.

Effect of the proposed provisions

Where offers have been made under a proportional takeover bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional takeover bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional takeover bid is passed by Shareholders or otherwise, as pursuant to the terms of the Proportional Takeover Provisions.

In more detail, the effect of the Proportional Takeover Provisions is as follows:

  • (a) if a proportional takeover bid is made for Securities of the Company, the Directors must ensure that a meeting of Shareholders is convened to vote on a resolution to approve that bid;

  • (b) the bidder and persons associated with the bidder may not vote;

  • (c) approval of the bid will require a simple majority of the votes cast;

  • (d) the meeting must take place more than 14 days before the last day of the bid period ( Resolution Deadline );

  • (e) if the resolution is rejected before the Resolution Deadline, the bid cannot proceed and any transfers giving effect to takeover contracts for the bid will not be registered;

  • (f) the bid will be taken to have been approved if, as at the end of the day before the Resolution Deadline, the resolution has not been voted on;

  • (g) if the resolution is approved, the transfers must be registered (subject to other provisions of the Corporations Act and the Constitution); and

  • (h) the Directors will breach the Corporations Act if they fail to ensure the resolution is voted on. However, the bid will still be taken to have been approved if it is not voted on within the Resolution Deadline.

The Proportional Takeover Provisions do not apply to full takeover bids. If the Proportional Takeover Provisions are renewed, they will cease to apply at the end of three years after renewal unless renewed by a Special Resolution of Shareholders.

Reasons for the proposed provisions

In the absence of the Proportional Takeover Provisions, a proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having an opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders could be exposed to the risks of passing control to the bidder without payment of an adequate control premium for all their Shares and being left with a minority interest in the Company. Such Shareholders could suffer potential further loss if the takeover bid were to cause a decrease in the Share price or otherwise make the Shares less attractive and, therefore, more difficult to sell.

Knowledge of any acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, no Director is aware of any proposal to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

Advantages and disadvantages during the period in which they have been in effect

The Directors consider that the Proportional Takeover Provisions had no advantages or disadvantages for them during the period in which they have been in effect.

The advantages and disadvantages of the Proportional Takeover Provisions for Shareholders include those set out below, which were applicable during the period in which they have been in effect .

Potential advantages and disadvantages

The renewal of the Proportional Takeover Provisions will enable the Directors to formally ascertain the views of the Shareholders in respect of a proportional takeover bid. Without such provisions, the Directors are dependent upon their perception of the interests and views of Shareholders. Other than this advantage, the Directors consider that the Proportional Takeover Provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted. The potential advantages of the Proportional Takeover Provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (a) providing the right to discuss, in a meeting called specifically for that purpose, and then decide, by majority vote, whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;

  • (b) assisting the prevention of Shareholders being locked in as a minority;

  • (c) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced;

  • (d) potentially increasing the likelihood of a full takeover bid rather than a proportional takeover bid; and/or

  • (e) enabling individual Shareholders to better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid, by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders, which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the bid;

  • The potential disadvantages of the Proportional Takeover Provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (a) imposing a hurdle to, and potentially discouraging the making of, provisional takeover bids which, in turn, may reduce any takeover speculation element in the price of Shares;

  • (b) potentially reducing the likelihood of success of a proportional takeover bid;

  • (c) possible reduction or loss of opportunities for Shareholders sell some or all of their Shares at a premium; and/or

  • (d) potentially causing some Shareholders to form the view that the Proportional Takeover Provisions impose an unreasonable restriction on their ability to freely deal with their Shares.

Pursuant to section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a modification to the Company’s Constitution (which includes renewal of the Proportional Takeover Provisions) can only be affected by way of a Special Resolution passed by its Shareholders. Therefore, this Resolution is a Special Resolution that can only be passed if at least 75% of the total votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on this Resolution are voted in its favour.

Professional Advice

If you have any doubt or do not understand this Resolution, it is strongly recommended that you seek advice from a solicitor or other professional advisor.

Board Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies for Resolution 5 as “For”.
