EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Introduction
This explanatory memorandum forms part of the notice of meeting of CPT Global Limited (“ Company ”) dated 25 October 2010 (“ Notice ”) and should be read in conjunction with the Notice. It contains important information concerning the ordinary and special business and will assist members in understanding the background, legal and other implications of the ordinary and special business set out in the Notice, and the reasons why various resolutions have been proposed.
Explanation of Ordinary Business
- Financial statements
The Corporations Act and the Company’s constitution require the annual financial reports, directors’ report and auditor’s report to be received and considered at the Annual General Meeting of members.
Neither the Corporations Act nor the Company’s constitution requires a vote on the reports. However, members will have an opportunity to ask questions and make comments on the reports and the Company’s business and operations at the meeting.
Adoption of the remuneration report
Background
As required by the Corporations Act, the Company’s board ( “board” ) is presenting the remuneration report to the members for consideration and adoption by a nonbinding vote.
The remuneration report contains:
-
information about the board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of the Company’s directors and senior executives;
-
a description of the relationship between the remuneration policy and the Company’s performance; and
-
remuneration details for each director and for each of the Company’s specified executives.
Recommendation
The board considers that the remuneration policies adopted by the Company are appropriately structured to provide rewards that are commensurate with the performance of the Company. On this basis the board recommends that members adopt the remuneration report.

Re-election of retiring director
Background
Under the Company’s constitution, at each Annual General Meeting, one third of the directors (or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then a number nearest to but not exceeding one third) must retire from office. The directors retire by rotation, with the directors who have been the longest in office since being appointed or re-appointed being the directors who must retire. The Company’s constitution ensures that no director is able to remain in office for longer than 3 years without facing re-election. Each director is entitled to offer himself for re-election as a director at the Annual General Meeting which coincides with his retirement. The managing director is exempted by his office as managing director from the requirement to retire by rotation.
Mr Wright retires in accordance with the requirements of the Company’s constitution. As he is entitled to and eligible for re-election, he seeks re-election as a director. Details of each director are included on page 13 of the Annual Report which accompanies this Notice.
Recommendation
The board recommends that members vote in favour of the appointment of Mr Wright as a director, as specified in item 3.
