CRYOSITE LTD EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
3rd November 2017 Annual General Meeting
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Company’s Annual General Meeting.
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the resolution in the accompanying Notice.
This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary.
Item 1: Financial Report and Reports of the Director and Auditor.
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report for the year ended 30 June 2017 will be put before the Shareholders at the AGM. These reports are in the Cryosite 2017 Annual Report and can be accessed on our website at www.cryosite.com.
This item does not require a formal resolution and accordingly, no vote will be held on this item. Shareholders will, however, be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions on these Reports during discussion on this item.
Item 2: Resolution 1 - Adoption of Remuneration Reports for the Financial Year Ended 30 June 2017.
Shareholders are asked to adopt the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2017. The Remuneration Report is in the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report and can be accessed at www.cryosite.com.
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into account when considering future remuneration policy for non-executive Directors and executives.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the Annual Report of the Company for the respective years. A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) on whether the Board should be put up for re-election. If the spill resolution is passed, another meeting must be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Executive Chairman) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors’ Report must go up for re-election.
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the adoption of Resolution 1. The Chair intends to vote all available and undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Item 3: Resolution 2 – Re Election of Director: Mr. Andrew Kroger (Non Executive Director)
Background
Clause 60.1 of the Company’s Constitution provides that “at the close of each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not more than one-third of the Directors, must retire”. The Board of the Company comprises three Directors, therefore one Director is required to retire. Accordingly, Mr. Andrew Kroger retires as a Director.
Under clause 60.5 of the Company’s Constitution, and subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, a retiring Director will be eligible for re-election at the meeting. Accordingly, Mr Kroger offers himself for re-election.
Biography
Mr Kroger is a non-executive Director of the Company. He was appointed as Director in November 2011. Mr Kroger has had a career in stockbroking, law and general management including two years running Forsayth Group in 1990 which was Australia’s ninth largest gold producer at that time. Mr Kroger is the owner of Process Wastewater Technologies LLC, a company with its major business being in wastewater in the United States. Mr Kroger has a Bachelor of Economics and a Bachelor of Laws from Monash University.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board (excluding Mr Kroger) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
Item 4: Resolution 3 – Election of Ms Nicola Swift
Background
Ms Nicola Swift was appointed as a non-executive Director on 3 November 2016 under clause 59.1 of the Constitution. Under clause 59.2 of the Constitution, such a Director “will hold office until the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company, at which the Director must resign but may offer himself or herself to be … re-elected at the meeting”. Accordingly, Ms Swift resigns as a Director and offers herself for re-election.

Item 4: Resolution 3 – Election of Ms Nicola Swift continued
.Directors’ Recommendation
The Board (excluding Ms Swift) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
Item 5: Resolution 4 – Approval of Cryosite Employee Incentive Plan
Background
As announced to ASX by the Company on 8 March 2017, the Company has introduced a Long Term Employee Incentive Plan (Plan). Pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2 Exception 9(b), the Company now seeks the approval of Shareholders for the Plan.
In the same announcement, the Company notified the market that it had introduced a Short Term Employee Incentive Plan. Shareholder approval of that plan is not presently sought, as it does not constitute an ‘employee incentive scheme’ under the Listing Rules and does not entail the issuing of any equity securities to any person.
The Company has made issues under the Plan, which are enumerated below. Approval for those issues is sought by Resolutions 5 and 6.
Listing Rules
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than the amount representing 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
There are exceptions to this rule, as set out in Listing Rule 7.2. One of those exceptions, Exception 9, applies to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within 3 years before the issue date, the employee incentive scheme was approved by shareholders as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. The Plan is an ‘employee incentive scheme’ as defined in Listing Rule 19.12.
In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9:
-
(a) the terms of the Plan are summarised below in the section titled “Summary of the Terms of the plan”;
-
(b) details of the securities issued under the Plan are set out below in the section tilted “Previous Issues under the Plan” of this Explanatory Statement; and
-
(c) a voting exclusion statement is set out below the text of Resolution 4 in the Notice.
If Resolution 4 is passed, and due to the operation of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9, the Company intends that future issues of securities under the Plan will not form part of the calculation of the Company’s issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Corporations Act
In the Company’s view, Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 200B or 200E of the Corporations Act. Section 200B states that certain entities must not give a person a benefit in connection with their retirement from an office, or position of employment, in a company if they were retiring from managerial or executive office, or held such office in the last 3 years.
