  • (i) the Company must not notify a shareholder of its intention to sell the shareholder’s shares more than once in any 12 month period;

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD

Ian Magee Company Secretary

NOTES

Voting Entitlement

The board of directors of the Company has determined pursuant to regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) that those persons who are registered as the holders of shares in the Company as at 7 p.m. (Brisbane time) on Tuesday 27 November 2012 will be taken to be the holders of shares for the purposes of determining voting entitlements at the meeting.

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on the resolution under:

  • item 6 of this notice by a director of the Company, or any associate of any director of the Company.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote on the resolutions in items 2 or 6 if:

  • it is cast by the chairman of the meeting or any other person (including a KMP Member or closely related party of a KMP Member) as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with directions on the proxy form; or

  • it is cast by the chairman of the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides (and the appointment expressly authorises the chairman to vote in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides).

A shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the portion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, section 249X of the Corporations Act will take effect so that each proxy may exercise half of the votes (ignoring fractions).

The proxy form must be signed and dated by the shareholder or the shareholder's attorney. Joint shareholders must each sign. Proxy forms and a certified copy of the power of attorney (if the proxy form is signed by an attorney) must be received:

A proxy cannot be appointed online if the proxy is appointed under power of attorney or similar authority.

Bodies Corporate

A body corporate may appoint an individual as its representative to exercise any of the powers the body may exercise at meetings of the Company's shareholders. The appointment may be a standing one. Unless the appointment states otherwise, the representative may exercise all of the powers that the appointing body could exercise at a meeting or in voting on a resolution.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This explanatory memorandum accompanies the notice of annual general meeting of Centrepoint Alliance Limited ( Company ), to be held on Thursday 29 November 2012 at 10 a.m. (Brisbane time). It has been prepared to assist shareholders in determining how to vote on the resolutions set out in the notice and is intended to be read in conjunction with the notice.

If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this explanatory memorandum (or elsewhere in the notice of annual general meeting), please contact the company secretary on 08 9420 1203, or your stockbroker or other professional adviser.

ITEM 1 – Annual financial and other reports for the year ended 30 June 2012

The 2012 annual report is available for download free of charge from the Company's website at http://www.cpal.com.au/. The financial report, directors' report and auditor’s report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2012 will be received and considered by the meeting. There is no requirement for a formal resolution on this item of business. A representative from the Company's auditor, Ernst & Young, will be present at the meeting to answer any questions from shareholders relating to the preparation of the auditor’s report.

ITEM 2 – Adoption of the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2012

Pursuant to section 250R of the Corporations Act, a resolution must be put to shareholders that the remuneration report be adopted. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the Company. The board will, however take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.

The remuneration report, which is set out on pages 17 to 25 of the Company’s 2012 Annual Report:

  • explains the board’s policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to directors and the key management personnel of the Company;

  • discusses the link between the board’s remuneration policies and the Company’s performance;

  • provides a summary of performance conditions applicable to the directors and the key management personnel of the Company, explaining why they were chosen and how performance is measured against them;

  • sets out remuneration details for each director and the key executives of the Company; and

  • makes clear that the basis of remunerating non-executive directors is distinct from the basis for remunerating executives, including the managing director.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided to shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the meeting.

Shareholders may be aware of the introduction last year of a ‘two strikes’ rule in relation to remuneration reports. In essence, if at least 25% of votes are cast against the resolution to adopt the remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings of a listed company, this rule requires a ‘spill resolution’ to be put to shareholders. If the spill resolution is passed, the company is required to hold a further meeting of shareholders within 90 days to consider replacing those directors (other than the managing

director) in office at the time the directors’ report (including the remuneration report) was approved by the board.

At the Company’s 2011 annual general meeting, less than 25% of votes were cast against the resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted. Accordingly, there is no requirement to allow for a possible ‘spill resolution’ at this year’s annual general meeting.

However, if at least 25% of votes are cast against the resolution at this annual general meeting, the directors’ report in the 2013 annual report must include an explanation of the board’s proposed action in response to that vote (and any comments made about the remuneration report at the 2012 AGM) or, if the board does not propose any action, the board’s reasons for inaction.

Noting each director has a personal interest in his remuneration from the Company, as described in the remuneration report, the board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

ITEM 3 - Election of Mr. Stephen Maitland as a director

Rule 47 of the Company’s constitution states that a director appointed by the board as an addition to the board may only hold that position until the next annual general meeting, and is then eligible for election.

Mr. Stephen Maitland was appointed by the board as a director on 20 December 2011.

Stephen has over 30 years’ experience in the banking and finance industry, with wide-ranging knowledge in areas such as strategic planning, businesses in transition, risk management and corporate governance. Stephen’s previous roles include CEO of the Queensland Office of Financial Supervision, a statutory authority that supervised Queensland’s non-bank financial institutions.

Currently Stephen holds various directorships, is Chairman of the Surf Life Saving Foundation and is a member of CPA’s Queensland Divisional Council. During the past 3 years Stephen has served as a director of Buderim Ginger Limited.

Stephen is also the chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee.

The directors recommend (with Mr. Stephen Maitland abstaining) that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

ITEM 4 - Election of Mr. Matthew Kidman as a director

As noted above, a director appointed by the board as an addition to the board only holds that position until the next annual general meeting but is then eligible for election. Mr. Matthew Kidman was appointed by the board as a director on 21 February 2012.

Matthew has over 18 years’ experience in the finance industry and currently specialises in corporate strategy, investor relations and capital markets.

During the period from 1998 to 2011 Matthew worked with the Wilson Asset Management funds management group in a variety of roles including director, analyst, portfolio manager and chief executive officer. He is also a former director of Australian Leaders Fund Limited (formerly Wilson Leaders Fund Limited).

Matthew has also worked as a finance reporter with the Sydney Morning Herald, where in 1997 he was appointed as Investment Editor.

The directors recommend (with Mr. Matthew Kidman abstaining) that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

ITEM 5 – Re-election of Mr. Noel Griffin as a director

Rule 58(a) of the Company’s Constitution states that at every annual general meeting one third of the directors (or the number nearest one third) must retire from office but are eligible for re-election. Accordingly, one other director must retire at this year’s annual general meeting. A retiring director is eligible for re-election. The directors to retire are those who have been longest in office since last being elected.

Mr. Noel Griffin retires at this year’s annual general meeting in accordance with rule 58(a), and, being eligible for re-election, offers himself for re-election.

Noel has been involved in the refrigerated transport industry since 1966. He has had extensive experience in management, operation and ownership of transport and agri-business. From 1982 to 1995, Noel was managing director of Refrigerated Roadways Pty Ltd, which at one stage claimed status as the largest refrigerated carrier in Australia with assets of $74 million, annual revenue of $131 million, and 900 personnel. TNT acquired the company in 1995 and Noel served for 2 years on the executive council of TNT. In addition to his interests in the transport industry, Noel was managing director and a shareholder of Table Grape Growers Pty Ltd from 1997 to 2001. Noel is managing director of Prime Qld Pty Ltd, a member of the Pacca Advisory Council and a life member of the World Presidents’ Organisation. Noel is also the chairman of the Company’s Nomination, Remuneration & Governance Committee.

The directors recommend (with Mr. Noel Griffin abstaining) that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

ITEM 6 – Remuneration of non-executive directors

Under rule 48 of the Company’s constitution, the total amount or value of the remuneration of nonexecutive directors in any one year must not exceed the amount fixed by the Company in general meeting. Further, rule 10.17 of the ASX Listing Rules requires shareholder approval to be obtained if an entity wishes to increase the total amount of fees payable to non-executive directors (including any superannuation contributions or fees which a non-executive director agrees to sacrifice on a pre-tax basis). The Company last increased the maximum remuneration permitted for non-executive directors almost 6 years ago (at the 2006 annual general meeting) to $350,000. Since then:

  • an additional non-executive director has been appointed in light of the growth in operations and size of the Company and for the purpose of continuing to ensure good corporate governance; and

  • market remuneration for non-executive directors generally has increased.

The directors believe that the fees offered by the Company to non-executive directors need to remain competitive in order to continue to attract and retain competent and experienced directors.

In the circumstances, the directors propose to increase the maximum annual amount available as remuneration for non-executive directors by $75,000 to $425,000 to accommodate the fees of the additional director. This maximum amount excludes any reasonable travel, accommodation and other expenses incurred by those directors while engaged on Company business (see rule 49 of the Company’s

constitution), any benefits paid in connection with their retirement as directors in accordance with the Corporations Act (rule 50), and any payments under an indemnity given to them by the Company.

Noting each non-executive director has a personal interest in his remuneration from the Company, the board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

ITEM 7 – Modification of the constitution of the Company

Rules 15.13 to 15.13B of the ASX Listing Rules allow a listed company to include in its constitution provisions which empower the company to sell shares that are less than marketable parcels in a number of circumstances. A marketable parcel includes a parcel of shares with a total market value of less than $500.

The purpose of the proposed modification of the Company’s constitution is to replace existing rule 85 of the Company’s constitution with a new rule to give the Company full flexibility to deal with small shareholdings as contemplated by the ASX Listing Rules. By reducing the number of small shareholdings on its register, the Company can reduce the administrative costs associated with maintaining those shareholdings (e.g. printing and postage costs).

A company may modify its constitution by passing a special resolution. A special resolution requires at least 75% of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution to be in favour of it.

Under the proposed new rule 85, there are 2 situations in which shareholdings which are less than marketable parcels may be sold.

In the first situation:

  • the Company may write to a shareholder whose shareholding is less than a marketable parcel telling the shareholder that the Company proposes to sell those shares;

  • the shareholder will have at least 6 weeks from the date of the notice to notify the Company that the shareholder does not want the shares sold or, alternatively, to acquire additional shares so that the shareholder’s shareholding becomes a marketable parcel, and in either case the Company will not sell the shares;

  • if the shareholder does not tell the Company it wishes to retain the shares or does not acquire sufficient additional shares so that its shareholding becomes a marketable parcel, the Company may proceed to sell those shares;

  • if the Company does sell those shares, they must be sold at a price which the directors consider to be the best price reasonably obtainable for the shares at the time they are sold;

  • the costs of sale (such as brokerage and any stamp duty) must be paid by the purchaser of the shares or the Company (although any tax consequences of selling the shares will remain the shareholder’s responsibility);

  • the proceeds of sale must not be sent to the shareholder until the Company has received any certificates issued in respect of the shares (unless the Company is satisfied those certificates have been lost or destroyed); and

  • the above sale process may only occur once in any 12 month period for a shareholder and, in some circumstances (such as if a takeover bid is made for the Company’s shares), the Company’s power to sell may lapse or cease.

In the second situation:

  • the Company may sell shares in a new holding of shares in the Company which is less than a marketable parcel where that new holding was created by the transfer of a parcel of shares that itself was less than a marketable parcel at the time it was transferred into the new holding;

  • if the Company does sell those shares, they must be sold at a price which the directors consider to be the best price reasonably obtainable for the shares at the time they are sold;

  • the proceeds of sale may be applied to pay the costs of sale (such as brokerage and any stamp duty); and

  • the shareholder’s right to vote or receive dividends in respect of those shares may be removed or changed at the discretion of the directors (but any dividends withheld must be paid to the shareholder at the time the balance of the proceeds of sale of the shares is paid to the shareholder).

The directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
