PROXY AND VOTING INSTRUCTIONS

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting may appoint one or two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the meeting.

5

A proxy need not be a member of the Company and a proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.

The appointment of a proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the shareholder’s votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half the votes).

If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote or abstain from voting on that resolution as they think fit.

If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the shareholder’s behalf on the poll and the shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.

Shareholders who return their proxy forms with a direction on how to vote but do not nominate the identity of their proxy will be taken to have appointed the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf.

If a proxy form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the meeting, or does not vote on the resolution, the Chairman of the meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions.

Proxy appointments in favour of the Chairman of the meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction on how to vote will be used where possible to support each of the resolutions proposed in this Notice of General Meeting.

The proxy form (and the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which the proxy form is signed) or a copy which appears on its face to be an authentic copy of the proxy form (and the power of attorney or other authority) must be returned to the Company Secretary at PO Box 226 Subiaco WA 6904, hand delivered to Suite 5, 95 Hay Street, Subiaco WA 6008, faxed on +61-8 9388 8256 or emailed to: [email protected] not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting, or adjourned meeting as the case may be, at which the individual named in the proxy form proposes to vote.

The proxy form must be signed by the member or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the member is a corporation, in a manner permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. A proxy given by a foreign corporation must be executed in accordance with the laws of that corporation’s place of incorporation.

A proxy form accompanies this Notice of General Meeting.

Corporate Representatives

Any corporation that is a shareholder of the Company may authorise (by a form of execution authorised by the laws of that corporation’s place of incorporation, or in any other manner satisfactory to the Chairman) a natural person to act as its representative at any general meeting.

Voting Entitlement

The Company has determined that for the purposes of the meeting, shares will be taken to be held by the persons who are registered as holding the shares at 7.00 pm on 20 November 2016. Accordingly, transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the General Meeting.

Explanatory Statement

Annual Report

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report. Shareholders will be offered the following opportunities:

  • (a) discuss the Annual Report;

  • (b) ask questions or make comment on the management of the Company;

  • (c) ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report.

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company, or to the Company's auditor about:

  • (a) the preparation and the content of the Auditor's Report;

  • (b) the conduct of the audit;

  • (c) accounting policies by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,

may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office.

Resolution 1 - Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

However, the Corporations Act was amended in 2011 by the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 (Director and Executive Remuneration Act) .

The Director and Executive Remuneration Act introduced new sections 250U and 250Y, amongst others, into the Corporations Act, giving Shareholders the opportunity to remove the Board if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings (Two Strikes Rule).

Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

In summary, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if there is a 'no' vote of 25% or more at the next annual general meeting the consequences are that it may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing

7

and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorization for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention.

RESOLUTIONS 2, 3, AND 4: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Messrs Atkins, Stone and Hobson were appointed by the Company on 18 January 2016. Pursuant to Article 11.12 of the Company’s Constitution, a Director appointed by the Company pursuant to Article 11.11 holds office until the next annual general meeting and is eligible for re-election.

RESOLUTION 11

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital at the time of the issue over a period up to 12 months after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 11, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below).

The effect of Resolution 11 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing.

If and when the Company does utilise the 10% Placement Facility within the 12 months following the AGM, assuming Resolution 11 is passed, the Company will be required to give ASX details of who the allottees are and how many Equity Securities they each received. In addition the Company will be required to release by way of ASX announcement the information set out in Listing Rule 3.10.5A, namely:

  • (a) details about the dilution to the existing Shareholders caused by the issue of Equity Securities under the Special Placement Facility;

11

  • (b) if cash is raised, an explanation why a pro rata issue or other type of issue allowing existing shareholders to participate was not adopted instead of or as well as using the 10% Placement Facility;

  • (c) details about any underwriting and underwriting fees paid, and

  • (d) details about any other fees or costs incurred in connection with the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 11 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 11 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 11 for it to be passed.

7.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $2.5m.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: CDT).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (a) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • (c) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under this rule; and

  • (d) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

D is 10%.

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

7.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

12

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in Section 7.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 11 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

* The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

13

1. The current shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 3 October 2016.

2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 30 September 2016.

3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

4. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

5. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  - (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  - (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
  • (d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

  • The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes: (i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised to continue expansion of the Rewardle Merchant and Member Network; or

    • (ii) as non-cash consideration for product development and expansion. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity

The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).

The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company; (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

14

(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company did not previously obtained Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 23 November 2015. In the 12 months preceding the date of the 2016 Annual General Meeting, the Company issued a total of 37,510,017 Equity Securities, representing 39% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at 23 November 2015.

The Equity Securities issued in the preceding 12 month period comprise of the details of these issues are set out in Annexure A.

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
