Determination of shareholders’ right to vote

The Board has determined that a person’s entitlement to vote at the AGM will be the entitlement of that person set out in the register of shareholders as at 7pm on Wednesday 30th October 2019.

CRYOSITE LTD EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1st November 2019 Annual General Meeting

Share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to vote at 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 2019 will be put before the Shareholders at the AGM. These reports are in the Cryosite 2019 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 2019.

Shareholders are asked to adopt the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2019. The Remuneration Report is in the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2019 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.

CRYOSITE LTD EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1st November 2019 Annual General Meeting

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. Andrew 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 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 – Approval to issue Options to Mr. Bryan Dulhunty

On 27 June 2019, the Company granted to Mr. Bryan Dulhunty 1,300,000 premium priced options ( Options ). The Options were granted to Mr. Dulhunty in reliance on the exception set out in Listing Rule 10.15B. As a result, any shares issued on exercise of the Options are currently required to be purchased by the Company on-market.

Shareholder approval for the grant of Options is now sought under Listing Rule 10.11 to remove this restriction and allow new shares to be issued by the Company upon exercise of the Options. The Board believes it is prudent to seek shareholder approval in these circumstances, rather than require the Company to purchase shares on-market at a time when it expects it would pay more than the exercise price of the Options, as it is a better use of shareholder capital.

Information Requirements – Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the grant of Options to Mr. Dulhunty and any shares to be issued on exercise of those Options:

  • The Options were granted by the Company to Mr. Dulhunty on 27 June 2019;

  • The maximum number of shares that Mr. Dulhunty will be issued on conversion of the Options is 1,300,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( Shares );

CRYOSITE LTD

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1st November 2019 Annual General Meeting

  • The Options were granted as a retention aid and performance incentive at $0.0003 per option (being an aggregate consideration of $390). The terms of the Options are as follows:

  • exercisable at $0.06 per Share (being approximately 135% of the 30 day traded volume weighted average at the time of grant);

  • the shares issued on exercise of the Options will be Shares, issued on the same terms and conditions as existing Shares on issue;

  • 2 year vesting period subject to continuous service and performance conditions;

  • 5 year expiry.

  • The funds raised on exercise of the Options will be used by the Company to meet its general operating expenses and commitments at the relevant time.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required with respect to the issue of Options to Mr. Dulhunty as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of any Shares to Mr. Dulhunty on exercise of any of the Options will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
