CRYOSITE LTD EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

23rd November 2018 Annual General Meeting

the AGM.

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 2018 will be put before the Shareholders at the AGM. These reports are in the Cryosite 2018 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 2018.

Shareholders are asked to adopt the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2018. The Remuneration Report is in the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2018 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.
