2 ‘Snap Shot’ Time

The Company may specify a time, not more than 48 hours before the Meeting, at which a ‘snap-shot’ of shareholders will be taken for the purposes of determining shareholder entitlements to vote at the Meeting.

The Company (as convenor of the Meeting) has determined that a person’s entitlement to vote at the Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the register of members as at 10.00 am.(Sydney time) on 28 November 2012.

This means that any shareholder registered at 10.00 a.m. (Sydney time) on 28 November 2012 is entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting.

3 Proxies

A shareholder entitled to attend this Meeting and vote is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote for the shareholder at the Meeting. A proxy need not be a shareholder. If the shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes at the Meeting the shareholder may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes which each proxy is appointed to exercise. A form of proxy accompanies this Notice.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of a Notice convening the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders of AUV Enterprises Limited to be held on 30 November 2012 at Level 29, 66 Goulburn Street, Sydney at 10.00 a.m. (Sydney time). The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to assist shareholders in understanding the background to, and the legal and other implications of, the Notice and the reasons for the resolutions proposed. Both documents should be read in their entirety and in conjunction with each other.

Resolution 1 – Removal of RSM Bird Cameron as Company Auditor

Under resolution 1, the company proposes to remove RSM Bird Cameron as its auditors. Under section 329 of the Corporations Act, an auditor of a company may be removed from office by resolution at a general meeting of which two months’ notice of intention to move the resolution has been given. It should be noted that under this section, if a company calls a meeting after the notice of intention has been given, the meeting may pass the resolution even though the meeting is held less than two months after the notice of intention is given.

Resolution 2 – Appointment of Colin Bloomfield & Associates as Company Auditor

Under resolution 2, the company proposes to appoint Colin Bloomfield & Associates as its auditors. Under section 327D of the Corporations Act, the Company in a general meeting may appoint an auditor to replace an auditor removed under Section 329 of the Corporations Act. If RSM Bird Cameron is removed under resolution 1, the directors propose that Colin Bloomfield & Associates be appointed as the company’s auditor effective from the meeting. Colin Bloomfield & Associates has given written consent to act as the company’s auditor in accordance with Section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act. If resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the appointment of Colin Bloomfield & Associates as the company’s auditor will take effect at the close of this general meeting.

Resolution 3 – Ratification and Approval of the previous issue of shares

The Company has previously issued new fully paid ordinary shares, as shown below.

Resolution 3 seeks shareholder ratification and approval of the issue of those shares. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval, provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set by ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of such a ratification is to restore the Company's ability to issue further shares of up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company without requiring shareholder approval.

The Company confirms that the allotment and issue of the shares detailed in Resolution 3 did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 contains certain requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and the following information is included in this Explanatory Memorandum for that purpose.

  • 50,000,000 shares at $0.002 (pre consolidation) to LBT Corp Pty Ltd issued on 15 August 2012 (post consolidation 6,250,000 shares at $0.016).

  • The above shares rank equally with existing fully paid shares issued by the Company.

  • Consolidation of the Company’s shares on a 1 for 8 basis occurred on 21 August 2012 pursuant to a resolution approving same at a General Meeting held 3 August 2012.

  • Funds raised from the Issue of the above shares were applied to fund the Company's general working capital.

Page 4

  1. A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice; any person who participated in the issue of the above shares and any associate of those persons is excluded from voting on this resolution.

The Company confirms that LBT Corp Pty Ltd is not a related party.

Recommendation

The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 4 – Increase of Remuneration Pool

Resolution 4 refers to a proposed increase in non-executive director fees and requires approval for the purpose of Article 50.1 in the Company’s constitution and ASX Listing Rule 10.17. Listing Rule 10.17 deals with the ability of a listed company to increase the total amount of directors’ fees the listed company and its “child entities” can pay to its directors’ (excluding executive directors). Currently, the Company’s directors are entitled to annual directors’ remuneration of $250,000 in aggregate. It is proposed that this annual aggregate be increased by $250,000 to $500,000.

The Board believes that directors’ remuneration must be maintained at a level consistent with similarly sized listed companies, taking into account the time commitment of the role and Company performance. The current aggregate remuneration pool was last adjusted by members on 1 November 2004. The increase in the aggregate remuneration pool sought by this resolution is designed to:

  • (a) accommodate an increase in the number of non-executive directors, if such an increase is considered appropriate; and

  • (b) allow for future increases in remuneration to current non-executive directors, should the activities of the Company expand.

Currently, your non-executive directors are paid, in aggregate, $100,000 and there is no current intention to increase the remuneration paid to non-executive directors. Resolution 4, if passed, will ensure the Company has adequate flexibility to increase the size of the Board or the remuneration of non-executive directors, as and when the business of the Company requires.

The information set out below is required to be provided to Shareholders under the Listing Rules in respect of obtaining such approval:

  • (c) The amount of the increase sought is $250,000, which would increase the remuneration pool from $250,000 to $500,000.

  • (d) See the voting exclusions that apply to Resolution 4.

Recommendation

The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
