EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
A Introduction
This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the notice of meeting of CPT Global Limited (“ Company ”) dated 17 October 2013 (“ Notice ”) and should be read in conjunction with the Notice. It contains important information concerning the Company’s 2013 annual general meeting (“ AGM ”) and will assist you in understanding the background, legal and other implications of the business set out in the Notice, and the reasons why various resolutions have been proposed.
It is intended that the chairman of the AGM will be Mr Fred Grimwade, the Chairman of the Company. The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies held by him in favour of agenda item 4 (Election of director), as well as agenda items 5 to 8, inclusive, (Grant of performance shares).
B Your attendance at the AGM
If you are not able to attend the AGM but wish to vote, please complete the enclosed proxy form and return it to Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited at 452 Johnston Street, Abbotsford, Melbourne, Victoria 3067 or Postal Address GPO Box 242, Melbourne, Victoria 3001 or by facsimile: +61 3 9473 2555 (outside Australia) or 1800 783 447 (within Australia) to be received no later than 48 hours prior to the AGM.
C Chairman’s Presentation (agenda item 1)
The Chairman, Mr Fred Grimwade, will present a summary of his report (which is contained in the 2013 Annual Report).
Please note that no resolution will be required to be passed on these matters.
Following this presentation, there will be an opportunity for shareholders to ask questions and provide comment.
D Financial Statements (agenda item 2)
The Corporations Act and the Company’s constitution require the annual financial reports, directors’ report and auditor’s report for the 2012/2013 financial year to be received and considered at the AGM.
It is not the purpose of the AGM that these reports be accepted, rejected or modified in any way. Further, neither the Corporations Act nor the Company’s constitution requires a vote on the reports.
However, shareholders will have an opportunity to ask questions and make comments on the reports and the Company’s business and operations at the AGM.
E Adoption of the remuneration report (agenda item 3)
Background
During this item of business, shareholders will have the opportunity to comment on and ask questions about the remuneration report contained in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2013. The remuneration report contains:
6
-
(a) information about the board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of the Company’s directors and senior executives;
-
(b) a description of the relationship between the remuneration policy and the Company’s performance; and
-
(c) remuneration details for each director and for each of the Company’s specified executives.
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.
The Corporations Act requires that a resolution be put to the vote at the AGM that the remuneration report be adopted. This vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Shareholders may be aware of the ‘two strikes’ rule in relation to remuneration reports of listed companies. Briefly, if at least 25% of votes are cast against the resolution to adopt the remuneration report at 2 consecutive annual general meetings of the Company, this rule requires ‘a spill resolution’ to be put to shareholders. If a spill resolution was ever passed, the Company would be required to hold a further meeting of shareholders within 90 days (‘spill meeting’) to consider appointing persons to replace those Directors in office at the time the remuneration report was approved by the Board (other than the Managing Director) and who are required to resign immediately before the end of the ‘spill meeting’.
Please note that as the 2012 AGM vote did not result in a 25% vote against the resolution, there is no requirement to allow for any ‘spill resolution’ at this AGM.
Voting on this agenda item 3
Please note this section very carefully . In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Company is required to disregard any votes cast on agenda item 3 (in any capacity) by or on behalf of either a member of the key management personnel, details of whose remuneration are included in the remuneration report, or a closely related party of such a member (together “prohibited persons”).
However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:
-
(a) the prohibited person does so as a proxy appointed by writing that specified how the proxy is to vote on the proposed resolution; and
-
(b) the vote is not cast on behalf of a prohibited person.
If the Chairman of the AGM is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as a proxy by a shareholder, that shareholder can direct the Chairman to vote for or against, or to abstain from voting on, the resolution on agenda item 3 (Adoption of the remuneration report) by marking the appropriate box opposite agenda item 3 in the proxy form.
Please note that if the Chairman of the AGM is appointed as a proxy by a shareholder, and that shareholder does not mark any of the boxes opposite agenda item 3 in the proxy form, that shareholder will be taken as having directed the Chairman to vote in favour of the resolution on agenda item 3 (Adoption of the remuneration report).
7
F Resolution for the re-election of retiring director, Peter Wright (agenda item 4)
Mr Peter Wright, having been an executive director of the Company since 2001 and being required to retire from office in accordance with rule 8.1(c) of the Company’s constitution, and being eligible, offers himself for election as a Director under rule 8.1(d)(1) of the Company’s constitution.
The Board (other than Mr Wright) unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution to elect Mr Wright.
Explanation of special business (agenda items 5 to 8)
G Proposed issue of performance shares under the CPT Share and Option Incentive Plan to executive and non executive directors as part of their remuneration
Special business resolutions
Agenda items 5 to 8 (collectively “special business resolutions”) will be considered and voted upon separately. No special business resolution is dependent upon the passing of any other special business resolution.
If shareholder approval is not obtained for a particular special business resolution, none of the proposed performance share issues in respect of that special business resolution will proceed.
Background
The special business resolutions seek approval for the issue of an aggregate of 400,000 ordinary shares (“performance shares”) under the existing CPT Share and Option Incentive Plan (established and adopted in 2000) (“Plan”) to the named executive and non executive directors of the Company. Based on the current issued share capital of the Company, if all these performance shares are issued they will represent (in aggregate) 1.1 % of the Company’s issued capital.
Your board is generally authorised under the Plan to issue performance shares to executive and non-executive directors, as well as key management personnel. However, ASX listing rule 10.14 requires that the issue of the performance shares to the Company’s executive and non executive directors under the Plan be approved by members of the Company as a transaction with persons in a position of influence in relation to the Company.
The proposed issues of performance shares under the Plan (should certain specified conditions be met) is designed to remunerate and incentivise the directors to achieve the CPT Global Group’s strategic objectives and targets over the next 2 years (substantial increased turnover and share price uplift). Each director is key to the achievement of these objectives. Specific targets have been allocated to each of the directors, which align with their various responsibilities.
The Company has not issued any options or performance shares under the Plan since September 2010 and there are no rights currently held by any officer or employee of the CPT Global Group to acquire options or shares under the Plan.
8
Proposed terms of issue
The table in each of special business agenda items 5 to 8 (“table”) details the terms relating to the proposed issue of performance shares to the director named in such resolution.
Reference in the table forming part of special business agenda item 8 to “Australian Revenue” in respect of Mr Wright means the CPT Global turnover generated within the Australian market as reported in CPT Global’s annual report.
Reference in the table forming part of special business agenda item 7 to “International Revenue” in respect of Mr Tuddenham means the CPT Global turnover generated in regions outside the Australian market as reported in CPT Global’s annual report.
Performance shares will be ordinary shares and when issued will rank equally with all other ordinary shares on issue in the Company.
The issue price will be $0.50 for each performance share referred to in the tables. This amount will need to be paid by the relevant director before the performance shares are issued to him. A director may elect not to take up any performance shares which he becomes entitled to receive.
Any reference to a share price in a table (relating to FY13 and to the performance hurdles for Messrs Grimwade, Baxter, Tuddenham and Wright) refers to the highest quoted (buy) price of CPT Global shares reaching or exceeding the nominated value for 5 consecutive business days in the financial year ending on the date nominated.
Any right to issue a tranche of performance shares in which the stipulated condition has not been satisfied by June 30, 2014 may result in the issue of that tranche on June 30, 2015 if:
-
(a) in the case of the share price condition, the condition stipulated to be achieved by June 30, 2015, is achieved; or
-
(b) in the case of the Australian revenue or International revenue condition, the aggregate revenue for the two year period ending on June 30, 2015 is greater than the total sum of the Australian revenue or International revenue condition target (as applicable) for the financial years ending on June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2015.
The Company will not issue a tranche of unissued performance shares if they are not fully paid up and:
-
in respect of Messrs Grimwade and Baxter, if he has resigned, been removed or has otherwise ceased to be a director of the Company (for whatever reason) as at the date the condition in relation to such tranche which is relevant to him is first satisfied
-
in respect of Messrs Tuddenham and Wright, if he has resigned, been removed or has otherwise ceased to be a director or key management employee of the Company (for whatever reason) or has ceased to be fully employed by the Company (for whatever reason) as at the date the conditions in relation to such tranche which is relevant to him is first satisfied
-
to any individual director, if any other terms or conditions additional to those set out in the table in the special business resolution relating to that person (as agreed between the Company and the relevant individual from time to time (if any)) are not satisfied, or
9
- to any individual director, if such issue would cause the Company or that individual to be in breach of the Corporations Act.
The performance shares will not be subject to any ASX or Company imposed escrow restrictions. Application will be made by the Company (at its cost) for quotation of the performance shares following their issue.
Under current laws, there will be no adverse tax consequence for the Company in issuing these performance shares.
[On October 11, 2013, the highest quoted (buy) price of ordinary shares of the Company on the ASX was $0.45].
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15A, the Company includes the following information (set out in paragraphs (a) to (g) below) to be provided to members:
- (a) If the person is not a director, a statement of the relationship between the person and the director that requires the approval to be obtained.
Not applicable.
- (b) The maximum number of performance shares that may be acquired by all persons for whom approval is required.
The maximum number of performance shares the Company intends to issue in accordance with items 5 to 8 to each of:
F Grimwade is 50,000
A Baxter is 50,000 G Tuddenham is 200,000 P Wright is 100,000
This amounts to 400,000 ordinary shares in aggregate.
If issued, these shares will form part of the recipient director’s remuneration, and will be required to be disclosed in the Company’s annual report. Details of the current remuneration of each director is set out in the Directors report of the Company’s annual report for FY 13. There has been no increase in the cash remuneration paid to directors since July 2010.
Under the terms of the Plan, in the event of any reconstruction of the capital of the Company (including a consolidation or subdivision of shares or reduction or return of capital) occurring prior to the issue of performance shares , the number of unissued performance shares to which each recipient may be entitled (and their issue price), will be correspondingly adjusted.
As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting:
-
Mr Grimwade (directly and indirectly) has a relevant interest in approximately 2% of the issued ordinary shares in the Company
-
Mr Baxter does not have a relevant interest in any issued ordinary shares in the Company
-
Mr Tuddenham (directly and indirectly) has a relevant interest in approximately 31% of the issued ordinary shares in the Company, and
10
- Mr Wright (directly and indirectly) has a relevant interest in approximately 0.4% of the issued ordinary shares in the Company.
If a director acquired some or all of the performance shares allocated to him, his relevant interest may increase. The amount of such increase (if any) would depend on changes which may have occurred to the issued capital of the Company and any changes in that director’s direct or indirect shareholding in the Company between the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting and the issue to him of his performance shares.
(c) The price (including a statement whether the price will be, or be based on, the market price), or the formula for calculating the price, for each performance share to be acquired under the Plan.
The issue price will be $0.50 for each performance share referred to above, which must be paid in full by the relevant director before a performance share is issued.
Under the terms of the Plan, in the event of any reconstruction of the capital of the Company (including a consolidation or subdivision of shares or reduction or return of capital), the issue price of the performance shares will be correspondingly adjusted.
- (d) The names of all persons referred to in ASX listing rule 10.14 who received securities under the Plan since last approval, the number of securities received, and acquisition price for each such security.
Since the last approval under ASX listing rule 10.14 was obtained from shareholders in November 2008, no securities have been granted or received under the Plan. However, as disclosed above, a number of options vested in September 2010.
- (e) The names of all persons referred to in ASX listing rule 10.14 entitled to participate in the Plan.
The Plan allows both executive and non-executive directors, employees and contractors to participate under the Plan. Each of the directors will participate in the proposed issue of performance shares.
Any future issue of securities (other than those referred to in items 5 to 8) under the Plan to those categories of people specified in ASX listing rule 10.14 (including directors) will require shareholder approval under the ASX listing rule 10.14.
- (f) The terms of any loan in relation to the acquisition of the performance shares.
There will be no loans made by any member of the CPT Global Group. Relevant directors will need to fund the acquisition of their performance shares from their own funds or funds of a third party.
- (g) The date by which the Company will issue the performance shares, which must be no later than 3 years after the Annual General Meeting.
The Company is required to issue each tranche of the performance shares within 7 days of the satisfaction of the conditions relating to that tranche, provided that the issue price for such tranche has been paid in full, and provided that all issues occur within 3 years after the Annual General Meeting.
11
Further issue of performance shares to key management personnel
The directors also propose to issue an aggregate number of 150,000 performance shares to 3 key management personnel of the Company (other than the directors), should certain conditions be satisfied. The directors have the power to do this under the Plan.
The terms of issue (including the issue price per tranche) are the same as those specified for each tranche of performance shares detailed in the special business resolutions, except that the conditions which must be satisfied before these performance shares are issued relate solely to increased turnover in relevant parts of CPT Global’s business (Australian and International), and not to any increase in share price.
There is no requirement to obtain (nor does the Company seek to obtain) shareholder approval before these performance shares are issued.
Disclosure in Annual Report
Details of any performance shares issued under the Plan will be published in each Annual Report of the Company relating to a period in which such performance shares have been issued, and that approval for the issue of the performance shares was obtained under ASX listing rule 10.14.
Save as specified above, any additional persons who become entitled to participate in the Plan after this resolution is passed and who are not named in the Notice of Annual General Meeting will not participate until any required approval is obtained under ASX listing rule 10.14.
Conclusion and voting exclusion statement
Each director has a direct interest in the outcome of the special business resolution in which he is named as the potential recipient of performance shares.
The Company’s board of directors considers that the proposed issue of performance shares to executive and non executive directors in the best interests of the Company, and will provide an appropriate additional remuneration and incentive to those directors to develop the business. Accordingly, they have resolved to seek shareholder approval for the proposed issue of performance shares. If shareholder approval is not obtained for a special business resolution, then the proposed performance share issues in respect of that special business resolution will not proceed.
In respect of the proposed recipient of performance shares under a special business resolution, all directors (other than that recipient) consider that the proposed issues to that recipient, together with his other remuneration, to be reasonable given the circumstances of the Company and the proposed recipient’s circumstances and responsibilities in respect of the Company. The recipient was not involved in such consideration.
