Explanatory Memorandum
This Explanatory Memorandum is for the information of Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of BlackWall Property Funds Limited to be held at BlackWall Property Funds Limited, 50 Yeo Street, Neutral Bay, NSW on Friday, 23 October 2015 at 11:00 am (Sydney time).
The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions. If in any doubt about how you should vote, consult your financial or other professional adviser. The following information should be noted in respect of the various matters contained in the accompanying Notice.
Item 1 - Financial Statements and Reports
The Corporations Act requires the following reports in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2015 to be laid before the Meeting:
-
Financial Report (which includes financial statements and Directors’ declaration);
-
Directors’ Report (which includes the Remuneration Report); and
-
Auditor’s Report.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and make comments on these reports, and on the business, operations and management of BlackWall.
There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or the Constitution for Shareholders to approve the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report (other than the Remuneration Report) or the Auditor’s Report.
Item 2 - Remuneration Report (Non-Binding)
Resolution 1
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires a listed company to put to its shareholders at each annual general meeting a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted. The report on the remuneration of the Company’s key management personnel is included in the Company’s Annual Report. The resolution is being proposed to comply with this requirement.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.
Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that the vote on the adoption of the Remuneration Report is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, if a company’s remuneration report receives an ‘against’ vote of 25 per cent or more at 2 consecutive annual general meetings, a resolution must be put at the later annual general meeting that another meeting be held (within 90 days) at which all directors (other than managing directors) who were in office at the date of that resolution must stand for re-election. So, in summary, Shareholders will be entitled to vote in favour of holding a general meeting to re-elect the Board if the Remuneration Report receives “2 strikes”.
Item 3 - Re-election of Joseph (Seph) Glew
Resolution 2
Seph has worked in the commercial property industry in New Zealand, the USA and Australia. Seph has driven large-scale property development and financial structuring for real estate for over 30 years. In addition, since the early 1990s Seph has run many turnaround processes in relation to distressed properties and property structures for both private and institutional property owners. While working for the Housing Corporation of New Zealand and then AMP, Seph qualified as a registered valuer and holds a Bachelor of Commerce. In the 1980s he served as an Executive Director with New Zealand based property group Chase Corporation and as a non-executive director with a number of other listed companies in New Zealand and Australia.
Directors’ Recommendation
The continuing Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 to re-elect Joseph (Seph) Glew as a Director.
