CENTURIA CAPITAL GROUP

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING OF SECURITYHOLDERS

Notice is hereby given that a general meeting of Centuria Capital Limited ACN 095 454 336 ( Company ), in conjunction with a meeting of unitholders of the Centuria Capital Fund ARSN 613 856 358 ( Fund ) (together, GM ), will be held concurrently at Level 39, 100 Miller Street, North Sydney, on Monday, 29 January 2018 at 10:00 am.

This Notice of General Meeting is issued by the Company and by Centuria Funds Management Limited ACN 607 153 588 ( CFML ) in its capacity as responsible entity for the Fund.

The Company's constitution and the Fund's constitution provide that meetings of shareholders of the Company and unitholders of the Fund may be held concurrently. Accordingly, the meeting will be a general meeting of securityholders of both the Company and the Fund (together, the Centuria Capital Group or Group ).

Terms and abbreviations are defined in the Glossary at the end of this Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum.

For further information please refer to the Explanatory Memorandum which accompanies and forms part of this Notice of General Meeting.

ITEM OF BUSINESS

Resolution 1. Approval under Listing Rule 7.4 to refresh the Group's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1

To consider, and if thought fit, to pass the following resolution as an ordinary resolution of Centuria Capital Group:

“That for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes, approval be given for the issue of 27,030,596 fully paid ordinary securities pursuant to the institutional placement announced by the Centuria Capital Group to the ASX on 19 December 2017 as detailed in the Explanatory Memorandum which accompanies and forms part of this Notice of General Meeting."

Voting exclusions apply to this proposed resolution (as described below).

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Group will disregard any votes cast on the Resolution by or on behalf of:

  • a person who participated in the issue referred to; and

  • an associate of the person named above.

However, the Group need not disregard a vote if:

  • it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

  • it is cast by the Chairman of the GM as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

VOTING INSTRUCTIONS

Voting entitlement

The Directors of the Company and CFML have determined that persons holding Securities in the Group at 10:00 am (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) on 27 January 2018 will, for the purposes of determining voting entitlements at the GM, be taken to be the Securityholders of the Group.

How to vote

Securityholders may vote by attending the meeting in person, by proxy or by authorised representative.

Proxies and authorised representatives

A Securityholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the GM has the right to appoint a proxy to attend and vote for them. The proxy does not have to be a Securityholder of the Group.

Securityholders holding two or more Securities can appoint either one or two proxies. Where two proxies are appointed, the appointing Securityholder can specify the number of votes or the proportion of the Securityholder’s votes they want each proxy to exercise. If no number or proportion is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the Securityholder's votes. Neither proxy may vote on a show of hands.

Corporate Securityholders must provide the Group with satisfactory evidence of the appointment of any corporate representative, prior to the commencement of the GM.

A proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate. Should you appoint a body corporate as your proxy, that body corporate will need to ensure that it:

  • appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at meetings; and

  • provides the Group with satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to commencement of the GM.

If a proxy appointment is signed by the Securityholder but does not name the proxy or proxies in whose favour it is given, the Chairperson of the GM may either act as proxy or complete the proxy appointment by inserting the name or names of one or more Directors or the Secretary. In addition, if you direct your proxy how to vote and your nominated proxy does not attend the GM, or attends but does not vote, on a poll on a resolution, the Chairperson will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions.

A proxy form and a reply paid envelope are enclosed with this Notice of Meeting. If you wish to appoint two proxies, please obtain an additional form from the Group's Registry or make a photocopy of the enclosed proxy form. To be effective, a duly completed proxy form and the power of attorney (if any) under which the proxy form is signed or a certified copy of the relevant authority must be received at the Registry or at the Group's registered office at least 48 hours before the start of the GM (being no later than 10.00 am (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) on 27 January 2018).

Proxies may be returned to Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited as follows:

By mail:

GPO Box 242, Melbourne Victoria 3001

(a reply paid envelope is enclosed)

In person:

Yarra Falls, 452 Johnston Street,

Abbotsford Victoria 3067

Undirected proxies

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote by marking either “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” against the Resolution on the Proxy Form. If you do not direct your proxy how to vote, you are authorising your proxy to vote as they decide, subject to any applicable voting exclusions.

If the Chairperson of the GM is your proxy and the appointment directs the way the Chairperson is to vote, the Chairperson must vote on a poll, and must vote as directed, on the Proxy Form.

However, if the Chairperson is your proxy and you do not direct the way the Chairperson is to vote, then by signing and returning the proxy form you will be expressly authorising the Chairperson to vote as he sees fit. The Chairperson intends to vote available undirected proxies in favour of the Resolution.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Quorum

The Company's constitution and the Fund's constitution each provide that two Securityholders present personally or by representative, attorney or proxy shall be a quorum for the GM.

Required voting thresholds

The vote on the Resolution will be conducted by way of a poll.

On a poll:

  • each shareholder has one vote for each share held in the Company; and

  • each unitholder has one vote for each $1.00 of the value of the units held in the Fund.

The Resolution is an ordinary resolution and will be passed if more than 50% of the votes cast on the Resolution are in favour.

Attendance

If you plan to attend the GM, we ask that you arrive at the venue at least 30 minutes prior to the time designated for the GM so that we may check the number of your Securities and register your attendance.

Appointment of Chairman

Under clause 38.1 of the constitution of the Company and pursuant to the authority of the CFML board under clause 17.4(a) of the constitution of the Fund, the Chairman of the Centuria Capital Group Board, Mr Garry Charny, is to be the Chairman of the GM. Failing him, another person appointed by the Group Board of Directors will act as Chairman of the GM.

By order of the Boards of Directors of Centuria Capital Limited and Centuria Funds Management Limited.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to provide Securityholders with information to assess the merits of the Resolution. You should read the Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decisions in relation to the Resolution.

Purpose of the Resolution

Listing Rule 7.1 operates to limit the number of Equity Securities that may be issued or agreed to be issued by the Group in any 12 month period to 15% of its Equity Securities on issue, unless the issue is approved by the Securityholders or an exemption applies. Under Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of any Equity Securities without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 may be treated as having been made with Securityholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if:

  • the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • holders of ordinary Securities subsequently approve it.

Approval is being sought under the Resolution for the issue of 27,030,596 Securities pursuant to the institutional placement announced to the ASX on 19 December 2017 ( Placement ).

The purpose of this Resolution is to refresh the Group's placement capacity to issue, or agree to issue Securities under Listing Rule 7.1 and to provide the Group with the maximum flexibility as to how it manages its future capital requirements, especially having regard to its current growth strategy.
