EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

A Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the notice of meeting of CPT Global Limited (“ Company ”) dated 22 October 2014 (“ Notice ”) and should be read in conjunction with the Notice. It contains important information concerning the Company‟s 2014 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), 6 (Cancellation of the previously approved 2015 share grant) as well as agenda items 7 to 9, 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 2014 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 2013/2014 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 2014. The remuneration report contains:

5

  • (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 2013 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).

6

F Resolution for the re-election of retiring director, Alan Baxter (agenda item 4)

Mr Alan Baxter, having been a non executive director of the Company since 2011 and being required to retire from office in accordance with rule 8.1(d) of the Company‟s constitution, and being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director under rule 8.1(g) of the Company‟s constitution.

The Board (other than Mr Baxter) unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution to re-elect Mr Baxter.

G Acknowledging Peter Wright’s retirement from the CPT Board (agenda item 5)

Mr. Peter Wright has been an executive director of the Company since 2001. He has contributed a significant amount to the business in terms of its management, the development of the management consulting practice and the execution of strategic client engagements. Having developed a number of interests outside corporate directorships and management consulting, he has made the decision to cease as an executive of CPT and retire from the CPT Board, in order to pursue these interests. Peter is not receiving any retirement benefit from CPT, other than any existing accrued entitlements.

We would like to acknowledge the contribution that Mr Wright has made to CPT over a long period of time and wish him well for the future. At this stage CPT does not propose to appoint an executive director to the CPT Board to replace Peter.

Explanation of special business (agenda items 6 to 9)

H Proposed cancellation of the existing 2015 performance share grants and new approval of the issue of performance shares under the CPT Share and Option Incentive Plan for 2015 and 2016 to all executive and non executive directors as part of their remuneration

Special business resolutions

Each of agenda items 6 to 9 (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 any of special business resolutions 7, 8 or 9, none of the proposed performance share issues in respect of that special business resolution will proceed.

Background to special business resolution 6

Special business resolution 6 cancels the 2015 performance share grants approved by members at the 2013 AGM of an aggregate of 200,000 shares to the directors (“cancelled grants”).

The CPT Board is proposing new performance share grants for 2015 (“proposed new 2015 grants”) in place of the cancelled grants, as well as additional new grants for 2016. The details of each of these grants are contained in special business resolutions 7, 8 and 9.

Under the cancelled grants, an aggregate of 200,000 performance shares could have been issued. Under the proposed new 2015 grants, an aggregate of 150,000 performance shares can be issued in respect of that year (each remaining director being allocated the same number of additional performance shares under the proposed new 2015 grants as they would have received under the cancelled grants).

7

Under the cancelled grants, the issue price payable by the directors for each performance share was fixed at $0.50 per share. Under the proposed new 2015 grants, the issue price payable by the directors for each performance share is $0.00 per share.

Background to special business resolutions 7, 8 and 9

Special business resolutions 7, 8 and 9 seek approval for the issue of an aggregate of 300,000 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, should certain conditions be met. Based on the current issued share capital of the Company, if all these performance shares are issued they will represent (in aggregate) 0.8% 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.

Currently, the following directors have unconditional rights to acquire performance shares in respect of the 30 June 2014 grants, but no director has exercised those rights as yet:

  • Mr. Fred Grimwade (Non Executive Director) 25,000 shares

  • Mr. Alan Baxter (Non Executive Director) 25,000shares;

  • Mr. Gerry Tuddenham (Managing Director) 100,000 shares;

  • Mr. Peter Wright (Executive Director) 25,000 shares.

Each of Messers Grimwade, Baxter and Tuddenham can exercise all or part of these rights by November 18, 2016. Any unexercised rights at this time will lapse. Mr Wright must exercise all or part of his rights before his resignation as a director takes effect, otherwise any of his unexercised rights will lapse. If issued, all performance shares will form part of the recipient director‟s remuneration, and will be required to be disclosed in the Company‟s annual report.

Proposed terms of issue

The table in each of special business agenda items 7 to 9 (“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 9 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. They will be issued to each director at $0.00 per share. A director may elect not to take up any performance shares which he becomes entitled to receive.

8

For a share price condition to be satisfied in a table included in resolutions 7, 8 and 9, the highest quoted (buy) price of CPT Global shares must equal or exceed the nominated share price in that table 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, 2015 may result in the issue of that tranche on June 30, 2016 if:

  • (a) in the case of the share price condition, the condition stipulated to be achieved by June 30, 2016, is achieved; or

  • (b) in the case of the International revenue condition, the aggregate revenue for the two year period ending on June 30, 2016 is greater than the total sum of the International revenue condition target for the financial years ending on June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016.

The Company will not issue a tranche of unissued performance shares if:

  • in respect of Messrs Grimwade and Baxter, 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 Mr Tuddenham, 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, 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

  • 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 7, 2014, the highest quoted (buy) price of ordinary shares of the Company on the ASX was $0.72].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.

9

  • (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 7 to 9 to each of:

F Grimwade is 50,000 A Baxter is 50,000 G Tuddenham is 200,000

This amounts to 300,000 ordinary shares in aggregate.

If issued, these performance 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 FY14.

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, and

  • Mr Tuddenham (directly and indirectly) has a relevant interest in

  • approximately 29% 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 $0.00 for each performance share referred to above.

  • (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 and in June 2014.

10

  • (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 7 to 9) 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.

  • (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 all issues occur within 3 years after the Annual General Meeting.

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.
