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 2021 to 30 June 2022.
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, Mark Avery) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
The Company’s 2021 remuneration report did not receive a Strike at the Company’s 2021 annual general meeting held on 23 November 2021.
If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, then at the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting, in addition to a vote on the Company’s 2023 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 2023 remuneration report receives a Strike. If the condition resolution is passed by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders, the Board (other than Mr Mark Avery, as Managing Director) 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 John Leaver as a Director of the Company
Mr John Leaver was appointed as Director of the Company on 21 February 2022. Under article 19.2(b) of the Company's constitution, a Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy holds office only until the next annual general meeting. In accordance with this requirement, Mr Leaver now retires from the Board and offers himself for re-election.
Mr Leaver founded the Company over 30 years ago and has been a key contributor to its strategy and operations since that time. Mr Leaver served as the Company’s managing director from 1984 to 2001 and, most recently, as a Director of the Company from 8 April 2019 to 11 October 2019.
- 8 -
Prior to being involved in the founding of the Company, Mr Leaver’s experience was in the stockbroking industry. Mr Leaver has previously been a director of Sunland Group Limited (ASX: SDG) and multiple other private and public entities.
Relevant information about Mr Leaver is set out on page 13 of the Annual Report.
The Board (other than Mr Leaver) considers that Mr Leaver is an Executive Director of the Board, supports the re-election of Mr Leaver and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. Other than as Shareholders of the Company, none of the Directors (other than Mr Leaver) has an interest in the outcome 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 17.12% of the issued Shares of the Company as at 28 October 2022 ( 2022 OnMarket Buy Back ).
On 23 November 2021, the Company announced that it would undertake an on-market buy back up to 20,000,000 Shares ( 2021 Buy Back ). Shareholders approved the 2021 Buy Back for the purposes of section 257C of the Corporations Act at the Company’s 2021 annual general meeting. The approval for the 2021 Buy Back expires on 22 November 2022.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to conduct the 2022 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 2022 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 17.12% of the issued Shares as at 28 October 2022.
The Company wants to retain the flexibility to continue buying back Shares up to a threshold of 17.12% of Shares currently on issue as at 28 October 2022.
3.3 Conditions
The 2022 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 2022 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;
-
9 -
-
the maximum number of Shares to be bought back is 20,000,000 Shares (being 17.12% of the total number of issued Shares as at 28 October 2022). 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 2022 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 2022 On-Market Buy-Back will occur over the 12 month period following the 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 2022 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 2022 On-Market Buy Back and it is not envisaged that any other related party will sell into the 2022 On-Market Buy Back.
However, to the extent that a related party does participate in the 2022 On-Market Buy Back, the Company considers that the proposed purchase of Shares from related parties under the 2022 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 2022 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 2022 On-Market Buy Back may assist the Company to obtain the advantages of the 2022 On-Market Buy Back outlined below;
-
the impact on the proportion of Shares held by continuing Shareholders at completion of the 2022 On-Market Buy Back will be the same irrespective of whether any related parties participate in the 2022 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 2022 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 2022 On-Market Buy Back will be to reduce the Company’s cash reserves.
Shares will not be bought back under the 2022 On-Market Buy Back if it would materially prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors.
3.7
Advantages of the 2022 On-Market Buy Back
The key advantages of the 2022 On-Market Buy Back are as follows:
-
enhances the Company’s ability to return surplus capital in a cost effective manner;
-
10 -
-
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 2022 On-Market Buy Back
The key disadvantages of the 2022 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 43.70% as at 28 October 2022 to a maximum of 52.73% (if Mr Leaver does not participate in the 2022 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 2022 On-Market Buy Back, the Board will take all relevant factors into account in determining the extent to which the 2022 On-Market Buy Back is implemented (if at all).
Participating in the 2022 On-Market Buy Back may have financial, taxation, or other ramifications for Shareholders depending upon each Shareholder’s personal circumstances. The Board recommends that Shareholders obtain their own professional advice.
3.9 Directors’ recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
4 Resolution 4 – Approval of payment of termination benefit to Mr John Hunter
- 4.1
Background
Mr John Hunter has held office as a Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer of the Company since 2006. Mr Hunter commenced employment with CVC Managers Pty Ltd ( CVC Managers ), a subsidiary of the Company, on 20 March 2006.
As announced to ASX on 26 August 2022, the Board has taken the strategic decision to make the role of Chief Financial Officer redundant. Further, as announced to ASX on 30 September 2022, Mr Hunter has also resigned as Company Secretary of the Company. Mr Hunter’s employment with CVC Managers will end on 31 December 2022 ( Redundancy Date ).
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the giving of benefits to Mr Hunter in connection with the cessation of his employment.
4.2 Why is Shareholder approval being sought?
Part 2D.2, Division 2 of the Corporations Act provides that a listed company must not, subject to certain statutory exceptions, permit a person in a managerial or executive office to receive a benefit in connection with their retirement from office or employment without shareholder approval. A benefit in connection with retirement includes a payment that may have been agreed separately pursuant to a contract.
- 11 -
The purpose of Resolution 4 is to have Shareholders approve the payment of particular termination benefits described further below to Mr Hunter which require Shareholder approval under the Corporations Act.
4.3 Benefits proposed to be given to Mr Hunter
The Company and Mr Hunter have entered into a confidential deed of release which records the terms and conditions of Mr Hunter’s redundancy ( Deed ).
In accordance with the Deed, the Company has agreed to:
-
pay Mr Hunter his accrued but untaken annual leave and long service leave entitlements as at the Redundancy Date; and
-
acquire his minor shareholdings (less than 1%) in the Marsden Park and Donnybrook projects for fair market value.
Cash Payments
In addition, the Company has agreed to make the following cash payments to Mr Hunter, subject to Shareholder approval:
-
the Company will pay Mr Hunter $98,077, being an amount equal to 12 weeks’ severance pay at Mr Hunter’s base rate of pay, which constitutes the statutory minimum redundancy severance under section 119 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth); and
-
the Company will pay Mr Hunter $850,000, being the parties’ estimated value of future performance payment which Mr Hunter would have been entitled to if he had continued in employment with CVC Managers.
4.4 Other Matters
Performance rights
In addition, under the Deed, the Company has agreed to exercise its discretion to treat Mr Hunter as a “good leaver” under the CVC Long Term Incentive Plan ( LTIP ) rules.
Mr Hunter holds 500,000 performance rights to acquire shares in the Company ( LTI Performance Rights ) which were granted on 10 December 2021. The LTI Performance Rights will vest subject to an absolute total shareholder return (TSR) hurdle over the performance period of 10 December 2021 to 9 December 2025.
Given the factors affecting the satisfaction of the vesting conditions and the Company’s future share price are not able to be predicted with any certainty, the value of the LTI Performance Rights cannot be ascertained at this time.
D&O insurance premium
Under the Deed, the Company has agreed to take out and maintain run-off director and officer liability insurance on behalf of Mr Hunter for a period of at least seven years after the Redundancy Date. The insurance premia payable will be calculated at market rates applicable for time to time.
4.5 What happens if Shareholder approval is not obtained?
If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 4, then the Company is prohibited from giving the various benefits referred to in section 4.3 above to Mr Hunter, apart from the amount in respect of Mr Hunter’s accrued but untaken annual leave and long service leave entitlements, and statutory redundancy pay, as at the Redundancy Date and the acquisition of Mr Hunter’s minority shareholdings in the Marsden Park and Donnybrook projects for fair market value.
4.6 Directors’ recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
- 12 -
4.7 Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution 4, as set out in the Notice of Meeting.
