Explanatory Memorandum

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice convening the Annual General Meeting of Shareholder of Future Fibre Technologies Corporation Limited ( Company ) to be held at 10.00 am on 12 November 2015 at Sheraton on the Park, 161 Elizabeth Street, Sydney NSW 2000.

This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist Shareholders in understanding the background to, and the legal and other implications of, the Notice and the reasons for the proposed resolutions. Both documents should be read in their entirety and in conjunction with each other.

Explanatory Notes to the Resolutions

Resolution 1: Remuneration Report

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 the Shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of 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 financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2015.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Voting consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on a Remuneration Report resolution are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of Directors of the Company at the second annual general meeting ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. All of the Directors of the Company who were in office when the Directors’ Report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) was approved, other than the Executive Directors of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors of the Company is approved by the Shareholders will be the Directors of the Company.

This is the Company’s first Annual General Meeting as an ASX-listed Company. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

Voting Restrictions

Members of the Key Management Personnel and their proxies and Closely Related Parties are restricted from voting on a resolution put to Shareholders that the Remuneration Report of the Company be adopted. Key Management Personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of that entity.

The Voting Restriction does not apply where:

  • (a) The Chairman or any other member of the Key Management Personnel is appointed in writing (by a Shareholder who is not a member of the Key Management Personnel or a Closely Related Party of Key Management Personnel) as a proxy with specific instructions on how to vote on a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report of the Company; or

  • (b) the Chairman is appointed in writing (by a Shareholder who is not Key Management Personnel or a Closely Related Party of Key Management Personnel) as a proxy with no specific instructions on how to vote on a non-binding shareholder vote on remuneration, where the Shareholder provides express authorisation for the Chairman to do so.

Shareholders should be aware that any undirected proxies given to the Chairman will be cast by the Chairman and counted in favour of the resolutions of this Meeting, including this Resolution 1, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act.

Resolution 2: Re-election of Dr Frederick Davis

The Company’s Constitution provides that any director appointed to fill a casual vacancy holds office only until the next annual general meeting of the Company.

The Directors unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3: Re-election of Mr Mark Stevens

The Company’s Constitution provides that any director appointed to fill a casual vacancy holds office only until the next annual general meeting of the Company. Mr Stevens was appointed as a Director to fill a casual vacancy on 11 March 2015. Mr Mark Stevens retires and, being eligible, wishes to stand for re-election in accordance with the Company’s Constitution.

The Directors unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 4: Re-election of Ms Arlene Tansey

Ms Tansey was appointed as a Director to fill a casual vacancy on 11 March 2015. Ms Arlene Tansey retires and, being eligible, wishes to stand for re-election in accordance with the Company’s Constitution.

She holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Southern California Law Centre and an MBA from New York University. She is a member of Chief Executive Women and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

The Directors unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Resolution 5: Re-election of Mr Terry Winters

Clause 6.7 of the Company’s Constitution provides that one third of all existing Directors, excluding the Managing Director, must retire by rotation each annual general meeting. Mr Terry Winters retires and, being eligible, wishes to stand for re-election in accordance with the Company’s Constitution. Mr Winters was appointed as a Director of the Company on 9 September 2004.

Terence serves as Chairman and Non-Executive Director on the Boards of a number of charities and public and private companies in Australia and the United States.

He is currently Chairman of Seeing Machines Limited, a Director of Redflex Holdings Limited and is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

The Directors unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

5

Resolution 6: Non-Executive Director’s Remuneration

ASX Listing Rule 10.17 and clause 6.5(c) of the Company’s Constitution require the maximum amount of NonExecutive Directors’ remuneration to be approved by Shareholders.

Resolution 6 proposes to set the maximum aggregate amount payable to non-executive Directors as fees for their services as Directors to $250,000 per annum. The Company recently listed on ASX on 11 May 2015 and this is the first time it has set a maximum aggregate fee pool for nonexecutive Directors fees. The Board considers that a fee pool of $250,000 is appropriate for the Company given its size and operations and will help enable the Company to attract and retain high calibre non-executive Directors.

The fee pool covers all fees for services as a non-executive Director including committee fees and superannuation contributions. The Company does not pay any benefit in connection with a non-executive Director’s retirement from office other than superannuation contributions.

The Company confirms that no Directors have been issued any securities under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 in the past 3 years.

Resolution 7: Appointment of Auditor

Pitcher Partners have been appointed by the directors as Auditor of the Company as required by section 327(1A) of the Corporations Act 2001 however they only hold office until the Company’s first general meeting which is this meeting.

A copy of the nomination is enclosed as Annexure A as required by section 328B(3) of the Corporations Act 2001. Pitcher Partners have consented in writing to act as the Company’s Auditor pursuant to section 328A of the Corporations Act 2001.

Resolution 7 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
