However, the Company need not disregard a vote on Resolution 1 if the vote is not cast on behalf of the Restricted Voter and either:
-
the Restricted Voter (who may include the chair) is appointed as a proxy in writing that specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution (i.e. a directed proxy); or
-
the Restricted Voter is the chair of the meeting and the appointment of the chair of the meeting as proxy does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution and expressly authorises the chair to exercise the proxy even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.
VOTING RESTRICTIONS FOR RESOLUTION 3 (ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS)
The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 3 :
-
by or on behalf of any person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1, 10.14.2 or 10.14.3 who is eligible to participate in the Plan (including Mr Luke Tuddenham) or any associate of that person or those persons; or

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of Resolution 3 by:

In addition, a person appointed as a proxy must not vote on the basis of that appointment, on Resolution 3 if:

a member of the KMP; or
-
a Closely Related Party of such a member; and

ENTITLEMENT TO ATTEND AND VOTE
In accordance with Section 1074E(2)(g)(i) of the Corporations Act and Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations , the Company has determined that for the purposes of the Meeting all Shares will be taken to be held by the persons who held them as registered Shareholders at 7.00pm (AEDT) on Monday 18 November 2024.

All Resolutions will be determined by a poll based on proxy votes received prior to the commencement of the Meeting and votes cast during the Meeting. On a poll, every Shareholder has one vote for each ordinary Share held.
UNDIRECTED PROXIES
The Chairman of the Meeting is expressly authorised to exercise undirected proxies in relation to each item of business. The Chairperson of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in FAVOUR of each item of business.
VOTING BY PROXY
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint a proxy. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. A person can appoint an individual or a body corporate as a proxy. If a body corporate is appointed as a proxy, it must ensure that it appoints a corporate representative in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act to exercise its powers as proxy at the Meeting and provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to commencement of the Meeting.
If a Shareholder casts 2 or more votes at the AGM, that Shareholder may vote by two proxies. Where more than one proxy is appointed, a Shareholder may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the proportion is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of that Shareholder’s voting rights.
Where a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies:
-
on a show of hands, neither proxy or attorney may vote; and
-
on a poll, each proxy or attorney may only exercise the voting rights the proxy or attorney represents.

Proxy forms must be signed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder’s attorney or, if a corporation, executed in accordance with the Corporations Act or signed by an authorised officer or attorney.
If the proxy form is signed by a person who is not the registered holder, then the relevant authority must either have been exhibited previously to the Company or be enclosed with the proxy form.
For a proxy form to be valid, it must be received by the Company, (together with the power of attorney or other authority (if applicable) under which it is signed, or a certified copy of that power or authority) not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the AGM, in person to the Share Registrar, Boardroom Pty Limited at Level 8, 210 George Street, Sydney, NSW 2000 or Postal Address GPO Box 3993, Sydney, NSW 2001 or by facsimile: +61 2 9279 0664.

Proxy voting restrictions apply to Resolutions 1 and 3 (see above).
If the Chairman of the AGM is appointed as proxy by a Shareholder, and that Shareholder does not mark the boxes next to Resolutions 1 and 3 the Chairman is expressly authorised to exercise undirected proxies to vote in FAVOUR of these Resolutions, even though these Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP.

For an appointment to be effective for the Meeting, the instrument effecting the appointment (or a certified copy of it) must be received by the Company not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the AGM, in person to the Share Registrar, Boardroom Pty Limited at Level 8, 210 George Street, Sydney, NSW 2000 or Postal Address GPO Box 3993, Sydney, NSW 2001 or by facsimile: +61 2 9279 0664.

BUSINESS
1. Annual Report
Background to item 1
A copy of the Company’s 2024 Annual Report, including the Financial Report and the Reports of the Directors and the Auditor for the year ended 30 June 2024 can be found on the Company’s website at www.cptglobal.com/investor-centre.
The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Company’s Constitution require the annual financial reports, Directors’ report and Auditor’s report for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 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.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to raise questions and make comments on these reports.
In addition to asking questions at the meeting, Shareholders may address written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company or to the Company’s Auditor, SW Audit, if the question is relevant to:
-
(a) the content of the Auditor’s report; or
-
(b) the conduct of its audit of the annual financial report to be considered at the meeting.
Note : Under section 250PA(1) Corporations Act, a Shareholder must submit the question to the Company no later than the fifth business day before the day on which the Annual General Meeting is held.
Written questions for the Auditor must be delivered by 5.00pm (AEDT) Monday, 18 November 2024. Please send any written questions to SW Audit to:

2. Adoption of the remuneration report (Resolution 1)
Background to Resolution 1
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (requires Shareholders to vote on an advisory resolution that the remuneration report ( Remuneration Report ) be adopted.
2024 Annual General Meeting
==> picture [114 x 80] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [59 x 97] intentionally omitted <==
The Remuneration Report details the remuneration policies for the Company and each of its subsidiaries and reports the remuneration arrangements for Directors and Key Management Personnel (identified for the purposes of the Accounting Standards). The Remuneration Report is included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report.
The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Board will, however, consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the AGM when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.
Under the Corporations Act, if holders of 25% or more of Shares present and eligible to vote at the meeting vote against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a further resolution ( Spill Resolution ) that another meeting be held within 90 days, at which meeting, all of the Company’s Directors (other than any Managing Director) must go up for re-election.
Shareholders will recall that at the 2023 AGM, holders of more than 75% of the Shares present and eligible to vote approved the ‘Remuneration Report Resolution’ and therefore, there will be no requirement for a Spill Resolution at this AGM.
The Chairperson will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
Recommendation
The Board makes no recommendations in regard to this Resolution as it relates to the remuneration of the Board. The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

4. Granting of Performance Rights FY25 – Mr. Luke Tuddenham, Managing Director and CEO (Resolution 3)
Background to Resolution 3
The CPT Global Limited Rights Plan ( Plan ) has been designed to facilitate the Company adopting modern best-practice remuneration equity structures for executives. A key component of effective remuneration for executives is equity interests, in the form of LTVR to drive shared performance objectives, link remuneration to Company performance and align interests with sustainable value creation for Shareholders. The Plan was last approved at the Company’s 2023 AGM.
Under the Plan, eligible participants are invited to receive Performance Rights or other securities in the Company which are generally subject to performance-based vesting conditions. The number of Performance Rights allocated to each participant is set by the Board based on individual circumstances and performance.
The Board is responsible for administering the Plan in accordance with the CPT Global Limited Rights Plan Rules ( Plan Rules ) and the terms and conditions of the specific grants to participants in the Plan. The operation of the Plan is subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, Corporations Act and other applicable laws.
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the proposed grant of 1,444,509 FY25 long term variable remuneration (LTVR) Performance Rights (“ FY25 Performance Rights ”) under the Plan to Mr. Luke Tuddenham, Managing Director and CEO, as set out below. The number of Performance Rights has been calculated to deliver a value of AUD$115,000 at grant, being the stretch LTVR for FY25, as assessed at the time of the calculation.
Each FY25 Performance Right confers the right, upon vesting, to acquire one fully paid ordinary Share in the Company at nil cost, subject to the relevant Vesting Conditions (defined below). Should all the Vesting Conditions be met, these FY25 Performance Rights may be exercised up to a maximum of 1,444,509 ordinary Shares at the end of the Measurement Period (defined below).
Shares issued on exercise will rank equally with all other ordinary Shares on issue in the Company.
ASX Listing Rule Approval
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme:
-
a director of the company (Listing Rule 10.14.1);
-
an associate of a director of the company (Listing Rule 10.14.2); or
-
a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 to Listing Rule 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The proposed issue of the FY25 Performance Rights falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 (as Mr. Luke Tuddenham is a director) and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
If approval from Shareholders is obtained in accordance with Listing Rule 10.14, the Company will be able to issue the 2025 Performance Rights within three years after the date of the Meeting.
Further, if Resolution 3 is approved for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14) a grant of Performance Rights or an issue of shares (upon the vesting and exercise of those Performance Rights) will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and separate approval of Resolution 3 is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. In addition, approval under Listing Rule 10.14 is an exception to the prohibition on a company issuing shares to related parties without member approval under Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolution 3 is not approved by Shareholders, then the 2025 Performance Rights will not be issued and the long-term variable remuneration opportunity will be offered on a cash settlement only basis, comparable to a short-term incentive over a long-term measurement period.
The features of the proposed FY25 LTVR Invitation to apply for Performance Rights to be provided to Mr. Luke Tuddenham are summarised in the table below and further details about the Plan can be found in the Notice of Meeting for the 2023 AGM. A full copy of the Plan Rules is also available upon request from the Company Secretary.
Maximum Number of FY25 Performance Rights
It is proposed that Mr. Luke Tuddenham will be invited to apply for, and be issued with, a maximum of 1,444,509 FY25 Performance Rights entitling Mr. Tuddenham to a maximum of 1,444,509 Shares if all FY25 Performance Rights subsequently vest.
2024 Annual General Meeting
==> picture [114 x 80] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [59 x 97] intentionally omitted <==
How was the number of FY25 Performance Rights calculated?
The number of Performance Rights has been calculated to deliver a value of AUD$115,000 at grant, being the stretch LTVR for FY25, as assessed at the time of the calculation. The share price used to calculate the grant of Performance Rights was based on a volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) calculation for the Company’s ordinary shares over the 20 trading days following the release of the Company’s FY24 financial results, being a price of $0.079611846 each.
The actual value (if any) that Mr. Luke Tuddenham will receive from this grant cannot be determined until the end of the Measurement Period (described below) and will depend on the extent to which the relevant performance conditions are achieved, and the Company’s share price at the time of vesting.
The Company has not received an independent valuation in relation to the FY25 Performance Rights the subject of Resolution 3. It should be noted that the fair value of the FY25 Performance Rights can only be determined for accounting purposes, as at the FY25 Grant Date.
Date of Grant
If Shareholder approval is obtained, the Performance Rights will be granted and issued as soon as practicable following the 2024 AGM and in any event within 1 month after the date of the AGM.
Price of Performance Rights
The FY25 Performance Rights will be issued at no cost to Mr. Luke Tuddenham as their value forms a significant portion of the variable remuneration in his total package for FY25. If the performance conditions are met and if the FY25 Performance Rights vest there will be no exercise price payable upon the exercise/conversion of the FY25 Performance Rights into Shares.
No loan will be provided by the Company in relation to the grant of the relevant Performance Rights (including the Shares issued on the vesting and exercise of those Performance Rights).
Other key terms of grant
Other key terms of the grant of the FY25 Performance Rights proposed to be made to Mr. Luke Tuddenham under the Plan are set out below.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Instrument | If this Resolution is approved, Mr Luke Tuddenham will be invited to apply for the FY25 Performance |
| Rights. These FY25 Performance Rights may vest where the Vesting Conditions (defined below and | |
| in the Plan rules) are satisfied. The value of the FY25 Performance Rights is, at the date of this | |
| Resolution, indeterminable but each FY25 Performance Right gives an entitlement to the value of | |
| one fully paid ordinary Share on exercise. If this Resolution is not passed, the Board will not issue | |
| any Shares but may (at its discretion) settle exercise by way of cash. | |
| The value that may be realised is a function of performance against Vesting Conditions and the | |
| market value of an ordinary Share at the time of sale of any Shares that result from exercising the | |
| FY25 Performance Rights. | |
| The type of equity proposed to be granted has been selected because it creates a strong link | |
| between performance and reward. | |
| Rights Plan Terms | The Board has the discretion to set the terms and conditions on which it will offer Rights under the |
| and Conditions | Plan, including the terms of Invitations. |
| The terms and conditions of the Plan include those aspects legally required as well as terms | |
| addressing exceptional circumstances, such as a de-listing, a major return of capital to shareholders, | |
| as well as the treatment of Rights and Restricted Shares on termination of employment. | |
| The Plan contains customary and usual terms having regard to Australian law for dealing with | |
| winding up, administration, variation, suspension and termination of the Plan. | |
| Variation of Terms | To the extent permitted by the Listing Rules, the Board retains the discretion to vary or amend the |
| and Conditions | terms and conditions of the Plan. |
| Term | Each FY25 Performance Right has a Term that ends on 1 September 2027, with all vested Rights |
| being automatically exercised on 1 September 2027, and the remainder lapsing automatically | |
| immediately following the vesting determination. i.e. there is a fixed settlement date of 1 September | |
| 2027. |
2024 Annual General Meeting

==> picture [59 x 97] intentionally omitted <==
| Dividend | At the time of vesting a dividend equivalent payment will be made to Mr. Tuddenham equal to the |
|---|---|
| Equivalent | total value of any dividends that were paid to an ordinary Share over the Measurement Period for |
| each vested FY25 Performance Right. | |
| Measurement | The Measurement Period is the period over which Vesting Conditions are assessed. |
| Period | For both Tranches proposed in relation to the FY25 Performance Rights, the Measurement Period will |
| be from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027. | |
| Vesting Conditions | Vesting Conditions are conditions that are used to determine the extent, if any, of vesting of |
| Performance Rights. | |
| For Tranche 1 (50% of the FY25 Performance Rights)–Indexed Total Shareholder Return (iTSR) | |
| the Vesting Condition will be based on the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of CPT over the | |
| Measurement Period (equivalent to the change in Share Price, plus dividends declared assumed to be | |
| reinvested) compared to the TSR of the S&P ASX Small Industrials Accumulation Index. Vesting will | |
| be determined according to the following scale (note:CAGRmeans compound annual growth rate): |
==> picture [401 x 108] intentionally omitted <==
The vesting of Tranche 2 Accumulated Profit before Tax (50% of the FY25 Performance Rights) will be determined by reference to the following scale:
| Performance Level | Accumulated Profit Before Tax (in $M) | Vesting % of Tranche | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stretch | ≥ $2.5 | 100% | |
| Between Target and Stretch | > $1.5 and < $2.5 | Pro-rata | |
| Target | = $1.5 | 50% | |

Tranche 1 FY25 Performance Rights are subject to a gate of TSR needing to be positive over the Measurement Period taken as a whole. No FY24 Performance Rights will vest from this tranche if this condition is not met. |

| Exercise of Vested Rights |
The Exercise Price for each FY25 Performance Right is nil. Unvested Rights may not be exercised at any time. Vested Rights will be automatically exercised upon the earlier to occur of (i) a Change of Control, and (ii) the start of the trading window following the elapsing of the Exercise Restriction, being 1 September, 2027. On exercise of vested Rights, the Board will determine the Exercised Rights Value and the extent to which that value is to be provided in the form of cash, and/or Restricted Shares. To the extent that the Exercised Rights Value is to be delivered in Shares or Restricted Shares, the Board will arrange for such Shares to be obtained and subsequently transferred or held by a trustee for Mr. Luke Tuddenham’s benefit (via an employee share trust/EST)and may involve market purchases or new issues of Shares. |
Any portion of the Exercised Rights Value that is to be delivered in the form of cash will be paid through payroll with any compulsory deductions applied.

Other information
Details of securities issued to Mr. Luke Tuddenham under the Plan are published in the Annual Report of CPT relating to the period in which the securities were issued. The number of securities previously issued to Mr. Luke Tuddenham under the Plan is 2,000,000 (LTI’23 1,000,000 & LTI’24 1,000,000). No cash consideration was provided for these issues.

Corporations Act
Section 200B of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from providing a benefit in connection with the retirement of a managerial or executive officer unless there is prior Shareholder approval under section 200E. Section 200B of the Corporations Act applies to managerial or executive officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which includes Mr Luke Tuddenham. The term ‘benefit’ has a wide operation and, in effect, includes the automatic or accelerated vesting of the FY25 Performance Rights under the rules of the Plan.
Shareholder approval in accordance with sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act is sought under Resolution 3 in connection with the provision of any “termination benefit” that may be provided to Mr Tuddenham in relation to the FY25 Performance Rights under the terms of the Plan, as in certain circumstances the Board has the power to accelerate vesting of rights granted under the Plan. The termination benefit that may be given under the Plan is the early vesting of the FY25 Performance Rights (and the receipt of Shares upon exercise of the FY25 Performance Rights) such as where Mr. Tuddenham ceases employment with the Company due to death, disability, bona fide redundancy or other reason with the approval of the Board.
The Board has not determined that it will exercise discretion to accelerate vesting of any of the FY25 Performance Rights. In the circumstances of a possible acceleration of Performance Rights, the value of the benefits that the Board may give under the Plan cannot be determined in advance, as many of the factors that will or are likely to affect that value will not be known until the time the benefit is decided to be awarded (if at all). Specifically, the value of a benefit on the vesting of a Performance

Right will depend on a number of factors, including the number of FY25 Performance Rights that vest (which could be all of the FY25 Performance Rights held by Mr Luke Tuddenham) and the Company’s share price at the time.
Furthermore, the Board has determined that, when added to the other remuneration entitlements of Mr Luke Tuddenham, his total remuneration package is market competitive and appropriate given the Company’s circumstances, based on market benchmarking and the Company's current executive remuneration policy. The Directors have therefore determined that the offer of the FY25 Performance Rights to Mr Luke Tuddenham is reasonable remuneration and accordingly, the Company is not seeking shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act (related party transactions).
