Act) of a KMP (Excluded Persons). However, an Excluded Person may cast a
vote on the resolution if:

that person does so as a proxy appointed in writing that specifies how the
proxy is to vote on the resolution and the vote is not cast on behalf of an
Excluded Person; or

Chairperson to exercise the undirected proxy even if the resolution is
connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP.

Chairperson's voting intentions

Where 2 proxies are appointed, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specified proportion or number of the Shareholder’s voting rights.

If a Shareholder wishes to vote by attorney at the Meeting, that Shareholder must, if they have not already done so, deliver the original, or a certified copy of, the power of attorney by the methods specified above so that it is received before the Meeting commences or, alternatively, ensure the power of attorney is brought to the Meeting and presented at the point of entry to the Meeting.

Explanatory Notes

These explanatory notes have been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be transacted at the Meeting.

1 Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders.

The Remuneration Report relates to the twelve-month accounting period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020.

In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Shareholders’ vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report. However, the Board will take the discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting into consideration when determining the Company’s remuneration policy in the future and consider concerns Shareholders may raise in relation to remuneration issues.

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

The Company's 2019 remuneration report did not receive a Strike at the Company’s 2019 annual general meeting.

If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, then at the Company’s 2021 annual general meeting, in addition to a vote on the Company’s 2020 remuneration report, the Company will be required to put a conditional resolution to the meeting in accordance with section 250V(1) of the Corporations Act which will be put to the meeting if the Company’s 2020 remuneration report receives a Strike. If the conditional resolution is passed by an ordinary resolution, the Board (other than Mr Mark Avery) will be required to stand for re-election.

The Chairperson will allow reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about or comment on the Remuneration Report.

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

If the Chairperson is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairperson is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairperson with an express authorisation for the Chairperson to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairperson's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

2 Resolution 2 – Election of Mr Alexander Rapajic-Leaver as a Director of the Company

Article 19.3 of the Company’s constitution provides the Company must hold an election of directors each year. The directors to retire are those directors longest in office since last being elected and, as between directors who were elected on the same day, the directors to retire are either determined by agreement or, in default of agreement, by ballot.

The Board has agreed that Mr Alexander Rapajic-Leaver will retire and seek re-election in accordance with article 19.3 of the Company’s constitution.

  • 9 -

Mr Alexander Rapajic-Leaver was appointed as an independent director of the Company on 1 July 2019 and re-elected on 25 November 2019. Mr Alexander Rapajic-Leaver seeks re-election in accordance with article 19.3 of the Company’s constitution.

Relevant information about Mr Alexander Rapajic-Leaver is set out on page 2 of the Annual Report.

The Board (other than Mr Alexander Rapajic-Leaver) considers that Mr Alexander Rapajic-Leaver is an independent Director of the Board, supports the re-election of Mr Alexander Rapajic-Leaver and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

3 Resolution 3 – Approval of on-market buy back

3.1 Background

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval of an on-market buyback of up to 20,000,000 Shares, representing 17.09% of the issued Shares of the Company as at 14 October 2020 ( 2020 OnMarket Buy Back ).

On 25 November 2019, the Company announced that it would undertake an on-market buy back up to 20,000,000 Shares ( 2019 Buy Back ). Shareholders approved the 2019 Buy Back for the purposes of section 257C of the Corporations Act at the Company’s 2019 annual general meeting. The approval for the 2019 Buy Back expires on 24 November 2020.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to conduct the 2020 On-Market Buy Back to allow the Company to buy back a further 20,000,000 Shares within the 12-month period following the date of the Meeting.

If Shareholder approval of Resolution 3 is obtained, it is not guaranteed the Company will buy back the maximum number of Shares permitted under the 2020 On-Market Buy Back, or any Shares at all.

3.2 Shareholder approval

Under the Corporations Act, a listed company can buy back its own shares on-market if the buy back does not materially prejudice its ability to pay its creditors and it follows the procedures set out in the Corporations Act. Shareholder approval is required if the number of shares bought back in the last 12 months is greater than 10% of the minimum number of shares on issue at any time during the last 12 months ( 10/12 Limit ).

Approval is sought for an on-market buyback of up to 20,000,000 Shares by the Company, representing 17.09% of the issued Shares as at 14 October 2020.

The Company wants to retain the flexibility to continue buying back Shares up to a threshold of 17.09% of Shares currently on issue as at 14 October 2020.

3.3 Conditions

The 2020 On-Market Buy Back is subject to the following conditions:

  • Shareholders approving Resolution 3; and

  • transactions in Shares have been recorded on the ASX on at least 5 trading days in the 3 months preceding each date the Company buys back Shares, as required by Listing Rule 7.29.

3.4

Terms

If the above conditions are satisfied, the terms of the 2020 On-Market Buy-Back will be as follows:

  • all Shareholders will be entitled to sell their Shares on-market for the Company to buy back;

  • 10 -

  • the maximum number of Shares to be bought back is 20,000,000 Shares (being 17.09% of the total number of issued Shares as at 14 October 2020). If Shareholder approval of Resolution 3 is obtained, it is not guaranteed the Company will buy back the maximum number of Shares permitted under the 2020 On-Market Buy Back, or any Shares at all;

  • the price to be paid by the Company for Shares will be the then prevailing market price on the ASX and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.33, the purchase price will not be more than 5% above the five-day volume weighted average market price of Shares;

  • the usual rules for settlement of transactions which occur on-market on the ASX will apply;

  • the 2020 On-Market Buy-Back will occur over the 12 month period following the 2020 Annual General Meeting; and

  • in accordance with section 257H(2) of the Corporations Act all Shares which are bought back will be cancelled.

3.5 Related parties’ right to participate in the 2020 On-Market Buy Back

Section 208(1)(a) of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to ‘related parties’ of the Company (as defined in the Corporations Act) without the approval of shareholders by a resolution passed at a general meeting at which no votes are cast in relation to the resolution in respect of any shares held by the related party or by an associate of the related party.

No Directors intend to sell into the 2020 On-Market Buy Back and it is not envisaged that any other related party will sell into the 2020 On-Market Buy Back.

However, to the extent that a related party does participate in the 2020 On-Market Buy Back, the Company considers that the proposed purchase of Shares from related parties under the 2020 On-Market Buy Back falls within the ‘arm’s length’ exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act for the following reasons and, therefore, Shareholder approval is not required:

  • to the extent the related parties wish to participate in the 2020 On-Market Buy Back, they will only be entitled to sell their Shares on the same terms as those that apply to other Shareholders who are not related parties of the Company;

  • the ability of related parties to participate in the 2020 On-Market Buy Back may assist the Company to obtain the advantages of the 2020 On-Market Buy Back outlined below;

  • the impact on the proportion of Shares held by continuing Shareholders at completion of the 2020 On-Market Buy Back will be the same irrespective of whether any related parties participate in the 2020 On-Market Buy Back; and

  • the terms of the purchase of Shares from related parties would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company were dealing at arm’s length.

3.6 Financial effect of the 2020 On-Market Buy Back

The Company intends to utilise its cash reserves (including from any future profits) to pay for the Shares it buys back (if any).

The financial effect of the 2020 On-Market Buy Back will be to reduce the Company’s cash reserves.

Shares will not be bought back under the 2020 On-Market Buy Back if it would materially prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors.

3.7 Advantages of the 2020 On-Market Buy Back

The key advantages of the 2020 On-Market Buy Back are as follows:

  • enhances the Company’s ability to return surplus capital in a cost effective manner;

  • 11 -

  • offers the Company the flexibility to commence or cease the buy back program at any time, in response to changes in share price or market conditions or other demands on the Company’s cash reserves;

  • all Shareholders are entitled to offer their Shares to be purchased by the Company;

  • creates an extended period of liquidity for Shareholders to sell Shares back to the Company where that liquidity may not have been available to Shareholders;

  • promotes a more efficient capital structure; and

  • allows continuing Shareholders to control a larger proportion of Shares.

3.8 Disadvantages of the On-Market Buy Back

The key disadvantages of the On-Market Buy Back are as follows:

  • reduces the cash reserves of the Company, possibly limiting future investment opportunities. However, the Company can commence or cease buying back Shares at any time, in response to changes in share price, market conditions or other demands on the Company’s cash reserves; and

  • if the Company buys back 20,000,000 Shares (being the number of Shares for which approval under Resolution 3 is sought), Mr John Scott Leaver’s interest in the Company could increase from 43.14% as at 14 October 2020 to a maximum of 52.03% (if Mr Leaver does not participate in the 2020 On-Market Buy Back and does not otherwise dispose of any Shares). Given the maximum interest Mr Leaver may obtain if he does not participate in the 2020 On-Market Buy Back, the Board will take all relevant factors into account in determining the extent to which the 2020 On-Market Buy Back is implemented (if at all).

Participating in the On-Market Buy Back may have financial, taxation, or other ramifications for Securityholders depending upon each Securityholder’s personal circumstances. The Board recommends that Securityholders obtain their own professional advice.

Resolution 4 – Removal of Auditor

Under section 329 of the Corporations Act, an auditor may be removed from office by resolution at a general meeting of which two months’ notice of intention to move the resolution has been given. If a company calls a meeting after the notice of intention has been given, the meeting may pass the resolution even though the meeting is held less than two months after the notice of intention is given.

On 7 October 2020, a notice of request to convene a meeting to consider a resolution to remove the Company’s auditor, HLB Mann Judd NSW Partnership, was served on the Company pursuant to section 329(1A) of the Corporations Act ( Notice of Intention ). Since the Company has called this Meeting after the Notice of Intention was given to the Company, Resolution 4 may be passed at the Meeting even though the Meeting is held less than two months after the Notice of Intention was given.

The Company has provided a copy of the Notice of Intention to HLB Mann Judd NSW Partnership and to ASIC in accordance with the Corporations Act. A copy of the Notice of Intention is included in Schedule 1.

HLB Mann Judd NSW Partnership is entitled to make representations under section 329(3) of the Corporations Act within 7 days of receipt of the Notice of Intention in writing and to have those representations sent to members prior to the Meeting.

HLB Mann Judd NSW Partnership did not make any representations pursuant to section 329(3) of the Corporations Act prior to the date of this Notice.

Resolution 5 – Appointment of Auditor

Section 327D(2) of the Corporations Act provides that a company which has removed its auditor at a general meeting may pass a special resolution to appoint a new auditor at that same general

  • 12 -

meeting, provided that a copy of the notice of nomination of the auditor has previously been sent to the proposed new auditor as well as to the current auditor and each person entitled to receive a notice of meeting.

Resolution 5 provides for the auditor vacancy to be filled if Resolution 4 is passed. If Resolution 4 is not passed then Resolution 5 shall be withdrawn.

A notice of the nomination of Pitcher Partners Sydney as the new auditor of the Company has been received by the Company and a copy has been sent to HLB Mann Judd NSW Partnership. A copy of the notice is set out in Schedule 1.

The Directors propose that Pitcher Partners Sydney be appointed as the Company’s auditor effective from the date of the Meeting. Pitcher Partners Sydney has given written consent to act as the Company’s auditor in accordance with section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act.

Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative.

If Resolution 4 is passed and Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will hold an adjourned meeting no less than 20 days and no greater than 30 days following this Meeting. At that meeting, Pitcher Partners Sydney can be appointed by an ordinary resolution provided that the Company receives a notice of nomination of Pitcher Partners Sydney from a member of the Company at least 14 days before the date of the adjourned meeting.

If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded. (b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY

To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.
