  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes are set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

The Directors recommend shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.

Financial Statements and Report

Under the Corporations Act, the directors of the Company must table the financial report, the directors’ report and the auditor’s report for Qanda for the year ended 30 June 2012 at the meeting.

These reports are set out in the 2012 Annual Report. Shareholders who elected to receive a printed copy of annual reports should have received the 2012 Annual Report with this Notice of Annual General Meeting. In accordance with section 314 (1AA)(c) of the Corporations Act, the Company advises the 2012 Annual Report is available from the Company’s website (http://www.qandatechnology.com/annual-quarterly-reports/).

Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask questions and make comments on the financial report, the directors’ report and the auditor’s report.

Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

Under the Corporations Act, the Company is required to include, in the directors’ report, a detailed Remuneration Report setting out the prescribed information in relation to the remuneration of directors and executives of Qanda Technology and the Company’s remuneration practices.

Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask questions and make comments on the Remuneration Report.

The Remuneration Report is required to be submitted for adoption by a resolution of Shareholders at the meeting. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing remuneration practices and policies.

Voting consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder 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 most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director 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 will be the directors of the company.

Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member as your proxy

If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member).

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you must mark the acknowledgement on the Proxy Form to expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his/her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel .

If you appoint any other person as your proxy

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution, and you do not need to mark any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.

Resolution 3 – Ratification of the Issue of 106,250,000 Convertible Notes

As announced to ASX on 9 March 2012, the Company entered into Convertible Note Deeds with three financiers in relation to convertible note facilities totalling $425,000. A total of $425,000 was drawn down in March 2012 and a total of 106,250,000 Convertible Notes were issued. The issue of these Convertible Notes was within the Company’s 15% placement capacity. Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Convertible Notes ( Ratification ).

It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. A summary of the key terms of the Convertible Notes are as follows:

  • (ii) at the request of the Company at any time during the period on or before the Maturity Date, during which the 30-day volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of the Shares is $0.02 or more the Company may request that the financier(s) convert, however should they not elect to do so, the maximum conversion price as outlined in the following paragraph will no longer apply and the conversion price shall revert to a 30% discount to the prevailing 30-day VWAP;

  • (c) the Convertible Notes are convertible into Shares at a conversion price which is a 30% discount to the current 30-day VWAP, but at a minimum price of $0.004 and a maximum price of $0.009, unless the maximum price has been waived by the financier(s) following a request by the Company as detailed in paragraph (c)(ii) above;

Board Recommendation

The Board believes that refreshing the Company’s ability to issue shares within the 15% limit is in the best interests of the Company, thereby maintaining its flexibility to make placements of securities without seeking shareholder approval if the need or opportunity arises. Accordingly, the Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

Voting Intention

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 4 – Approval of Issue of 60,000,000 Shares

In September and October 2010, the Company entered into subscription agreements with sophisticated investors for a total of 15,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share with free attaching Options on a one for one basis ( Subscription Price ) to raise $300,000, before costs of the issue ( Subscription Agreements ). The application monies of $300,000 were received in October 2010 and the Shares and free attaching Options allotted on 12 and 13 October 2010.

The Subscription Agreements provide that should the Company complete a capital raising of any nature at any time prior to 2 years from the subscription date, where the issue price for Shares is less than the Subscription Price, the Subscription Agreements will be automatically varied to the issue price of the subsequent capital raising and additional securities issued in accordance with the Subscription Agreements ( Adjustment Clause ). Where more than one subsequent capital raising is conducted, then the lowest price will be used for the purposes of calculating the additional securities to be issued pursuant to the Adjustment Clause.

The Company completed two placements in March 2012 raising $300,000 at an issue price of $0.004 per Share ( New Subscription Price ). This New Subscription Price triggers the Subscription Agreements to be automatically varied to the New Subscription Price of $0.004 per Share in accordance with the Adjustment Clause. Consequently, this resolution seeks approval to issue the 60,000,000 additional Shares required to be issued pursuant to the Adjustment Clause contained in the Subscription Agreements.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out under the Explanatory Memorandum for Resolution 3 above.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1:

  • (a) The maximum number of securities to be issued by the Company is 60,000,000 Shares.

  • (b) The recipients of the Shares will be:

    • a. Colada Investments Limited (Company Number 7385673) – 40,000,000 Shares; and

    • b. Lloyds & Casanove Investment Partners Limited (Company Number 04487452) – 20,000,000 Shares,

  • neither party is a related party of the Company.

  • (c) The deemed issue price of the Shares will be $0.004 per Share.

  • (d) The Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of this Meeting (or such later date as is permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated that allotment will occur on the same date.

  • (e) The Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will be issued on the same terms as, and rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares.

  • (f) No funds raised will be raised from the issue of the Shares as the Shares will be issued in accordance with the terms of the Adjustment Clause in the Subscription Agreements.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

Voting Intention

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

Resolution 5 - Approval of the Issue of 5,393,225 Shares

From October 2010 to February 2011, Mr Cameron accrued an amount of $21,573 in salaries and statutory superannuation which he agreed to defer receipt of payment for ( Accrued Remuneration ). The Directors have resolved to settle the Accrued Remuneration by way of issue of fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at the last issue price of Shares placed to investors, being $0.004 in March 2012.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out under the Explanatory Memorandum for Resolution 3 above.

Board Recommendation

The Board believes that refreshing the Company’s ability to issue shares within the 15% limit is in the best interests of the Company, thereby maintaining its flexibility to make placements of securities without seeking shareholder approval if the need or opportunity arises. Accordingly, the Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

Voting Intention

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

Resolution 6 – Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity

Background

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued share capital over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which a resolution for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is passed by special resolution ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ). The Additional 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An entity will be eligible to seek approval under Listing Rule 7.1A if:

  • (a) the entity has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on deferred settlement basis); and

  • (b) the entity is not included in the S&P ASX 300 Index.

The Company is an eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A.

Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that an eligible entity which has obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 10% Placement Period, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) - E

  • A is the number of fully paid shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

8

  • plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

  • D is 10%.

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

The Company is putting Resolution 7 to Shareholders to seek approval to issue additional Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. It is anticipated that funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity would be applied towards general working capital.

Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 6 will be to permit the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Additional Placement Period (as defined below) without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice the Company has Shares (ASX: QNA), Options and Convertible Notes on issue.

Based on the number of shares on issue at the date of this Notice, the Company will have 713,706,375 Shares on issue and therefore, subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 6, 71,370,638 Equity Securities will be permitted to be issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A. Shareholders should note that the calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity is a moving calculation and will be based on the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A at the time of issue of the Equity Securities. The table below demonstrates various examples as to the number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

Resolution 6 is a special resolution, requiring 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) in order to be passed.

Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

The following information in relation to the Shares to be issued is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • 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 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted. There is also a risk that:

  • i. the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the meeting; and

  • ii. the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders of the issue of the maximum number of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity using variables for the number of ordinary securities for variable “A” (as defined in Listing Rule 7.1A) and the market price of Shares. It is noted that the variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities.

The table shows:

  • i. examples where variable “A” is at its current level and where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%;

9

  • ii. examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities is the current market price as at close of trade on 24 October 2012, being $0.005, ( current market price ), where the issue price is halved, and where it is doubled; and

  • iii. the dilutionary effect will always be 10% if the maximum number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity are issued.

*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.

Note this table assumes:

  • i. No Options are exercised and no Convertible Notes are converted before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;

  • ii. The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares.

  • iii. There are currently 779,099,600 Shares on issue comprising:

    • (a) 713,706,375 existing Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting; and

    • (b) 65,393,225 Shares which will be issued if Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed at this Meeting.

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

  • v. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • vi. 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.

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

  • viii. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • ix. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (c) Approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting and will expire on the earlier of:

  • i. the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • ii. the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to that nature of scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( Additional Placement Period ).

  • (d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

10

  • i. cash consideration. If Equity Securities are issued for cash consideration, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards advancement of the Marketboomer business unit, focusing specifically on Purchase Plus, the Company’s latest multilingual web e-Procurement platform, ongoing R&D work and to supplement the Company’s working capital.

  • ii. non-cash consideration for the settlement of liabilities of the Group. If Equity Securities are issued for noncash consideration, the Company will comply with Listing Rule 7.1A.3 in relation to such issue and will release the valuation of the non-cash consideration to the market.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (e) The Company’ allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined having regard to the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed issue(s).

The identity of the allottees under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors which may include the following:

  • i. the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, entitlements issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • ii. the dilutionary effect of the proposed issue of the Equity Securities on existing Shareholders at the time of proposed issue of Equity Securities;

  • iii. the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • iv. advice from professional advisers, including corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The Company notes that:

  • i. any funds raised from the issue of Shares under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity are likely to be applied towards continued improvement of the Company’s Marketboomer business unit and Purchase Plus platform, ongoing R&D work and for general working capital purposes;

  • ii. it is not possible to determine whether any existing Shareholders, or class of Shareholders, would be invited to apply for any Shares to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, or to determine the category of any new investors that may be invited to participate in such a fundraising;

  • iii. prior to undertaking any fundraising, the Board will have regard to whether it is in the Company’s best interests to structure such a fundraising as an entitlements issue to all of the Company’s existing Shareholders at that time; and

  • iv. the reason for undertaking any particular issue under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity would be announced at the time the Company sought to issue shares under that Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

At the date of this notice, the allottees under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined. They may, however, include substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties (or their associates) of the Company. If the Company issues the Equity Securities for the settlement of liabilities of the Group, it is likely that the allottees under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be those parties to whom the liabilities are owed.

  • (f) The Company has not previously obtained shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not determined its allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. The Company has not, and has not yet determined to approach, any particular existing security holders or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in an offer under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, and therefore no Shareholder will be excluded from voting on Resolution 6.
