Directors’ recommendation
The Directors, with Mark Esler abstaining, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2, and the Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.
Item 4: Resolution for appointment of new auditor (Resolution 3)
Pitcher Partners (ABN 84 797 724 539) (“ Pitcher Partners ”) is currently the Company’s auditor. Following a competitive tender process, the Board, on the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee, has selected PwC to be appointed as the Company's new auditor and PwC has consented to the appointment.
As a consequence, Pitcher Partners applied under section 329(5) of the Corporations Act for the consent of ASIC to resign as the Company’s auditor. ASIC's consent to Pitcher Partners’ resignation is required under section 329(5)(b) of the Corporations Act.
ASIC has consented to Pitcher Partners’ resignation as auditor, and accordingly, in accordance with section 327B of the Corporations Act, the Company is proposing to appoint PwC as its auditor which will, if this resolution is passed, take effect from the date of this AGM.
10794752v2
The Company seeks shareholder approval for the ongoing appointment of PwC as auditor of the Company and its controlled entities in accordance with section 327B(1)(b) of the Corporations Act.
In accordance with section 328B of the Corporations Act, a member of the Company has provided notice in writing nominating PwC as auditor. A copy of this notice is attached to this Notice of Meeting as Annexure A. The appointment of PwC will be by vote of shareholders as an ordinary resolution.
PwC has provided to the Company, and has not withdrawn, its written consent to act as auditor of the Company, in accordance with section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act
Director’s recommendation
The Director’s recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3, and the Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.
Item 5: Renewal of approval of the Data[#] 3 Limited Long-Term Incentive Plan (Resolution 4)
Resolution 4 seeks shareholder approval to renew the existing Data[#] 3 Long Term Incentive Plan ( LTIP ), approval of which was originally given by shareholders at the Company’s 2018 Annual General Meeting and subsequently renewed at the 2021 Annual General Meeting.
As above, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that any listed entity must not issue equity securities that total more than 15% of its fully paid ordinary shares in a 12-month period without the approval of shareholders ( 15% Rule ). The ASX Listing Rules require that the approval of shareholders be sought where an issue of securities exceeds the 15% Rule. For employee incentive schemes, such as the LTIP, ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides an exception to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval each time securities are issued under the plan. For this exception to apply, the ASX Listing Rules require shareholder approval in respect of any issues under the plan to be obtained every 3 years.
The existing LTIP was established in 2018 to replace a previous deferred share and incentive plan that was approved in 2007. Shareholders previously approved issues under this LTIP under the previous employee incentive scheme exception under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 at the Annual General Meeting held on 14 November 2018 and on 28 October 2021. As it has been three years since the last shareholder approval, the Company is now seeking to refresh approval of the LTIP, including the issue of securities under the LTIP, for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13, and for all other purposes for a further three year period.
The LTIP has been designed to align the interests of eligible employees with the interests of shareholders of the Company by enabling directors and employees to have involvement with, and share in the future and growth of, the Company and to assist the Company to attract, reward and retain high quality staff.
The board has the discretion to make grants to eligible employees under the LTIP and has the flexibility under the LTIP rules to grant either performance rights (‘Rights’) or options (‘Options’) to participants.
If shareholder approval is obtained for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13, the Company will be able to issue securities under the LTIP (subject to the maximum number of securities to be issued under the LTIP as set out below under “Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b)” to eligible participants over a period of three years without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If shareholder approval is not obtained, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the LTIP (again, subject to the maximum number of securities to be issued under the LTIP as set out below under “Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b)”) to eligible participants, but any issue of securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue securities without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the securities.
It should be noted that any proposed issue of securities (whether Rights or Options) under the LTIP to a related party (including Directors) will require additional shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time. If such additional shareholder approval for an issue of securities under the LTIP to a related party is not obtained, then those securities cannot be issued.
10794752v2
The terms of the ‘refreshed’ LTIP are broadly the same as what was approved by shareholders at the 2021 AGM, and a summary of the key terms of the LTIP rules is provided below.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b)
- Summary of the LTIP terms and rules
The full rules of the LTIP are available upon written request to the Company. A summary of the LTIP rules is set out below. Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in these explanatory notes will have the meaning given to them in the rules of the LTIP.
| Securities | Under the LTIP, the Company may offer or issue Rights or Options (“Awards”)to eligible participants. Rights are a right to be issued or transferred a fully paid ordinary share in the Company (“Share”) for a nil exercise price upon satisfaction of specified vesting conditions. Options are a right to be issued or transferred a Share upon payment of an exercise price and which can only be exercised if specific vesting conditions are achieved. |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | The LTIP will be open to eligible employees, non-executive directors and consultants of the Company who the board determines in its absolute discretion are eligible to be issued an Award (“Participants”). |
| Grant of Awards |
The board has discretion to determine the issue price and/or exercise price for the Awards under the LTIP. The offer must be in writing and specify, amongst other things, the type of Award that may be applied for, the number of Awards being issued, the exercise period, any conditions to be satisfied before the Awards may be exercised or vested and the exercise price of the Awards (if any). The Awards may also be subject to specific terms established by the board. No consideration is payable by an Eligible Person for an issue of Options or grant of Rights, unless the board decides otherwise. |
| Vesting of Awards |
Options and Rights will vest and become exercisable to the extent that the applicable performance, service, or other vesting conditions specified at the time of the grant are satisfied (collectively, the “Relevant Vesting Conditions”). Typically, the Relevant Vesting Conditions must be satisfied within a predetermined vesting period. Both the Relevant Vesting Conditions and the vesting period are set by the board in its discretion, and may be waived by the board in its discretion, subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and any other applicable laws. |
| Exercise of Vested Options |
Vested Options may be exercised, subject to any exercise conditions or specific terms established by the board or set out in the LTIP, by the participant giving a signed notice to the Company and paying the exercise price in full. Where necessary, the Company will apply for official quotation of any Shares issued on exercise of any Options subject to the rules of the LTIP. |
| Vesting of Rights |
Rights will, subject to any specific terms established by the board, automatically vest upon satisfaction of the specified vesting conditions such that the corresponding number of Shares will be delivered for the benefit of the Participant. Where necessary, the Company will apply for official quotation of any Shares issued on vesting of the Rights subject to the rules of the LTIP. |
| Lapse | The Awards shall lapse in accordance with specific offer terms or events contained in the LTIP rules, including but not limited to the board’s determination that a Participant has committed an act which brings the Company into disrepute or is in breach of their obligations to the Company, or in the case of Vested Options where such options have not been exercised by the stated exercise expiry date. |
| Right of Participants |
Once Shares are allotted or transferred to the benefit of a Participant upon exercise or vesting of the Awards (as applicable) the Participants will hold the Shares free of restrictions, unless the board determines otherwise. The Shares will rank for dividends declared on or after the date of issue but will carry no right to receive any dividend before the date of issue. Should the Company undergo any reorganisation of capital, the number of Awards may be adjusted in accordance with the Listing Rules and the determination of the board as applicable to the Awards at the time of reorganisation. In the event of a change of control, and subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and any applicable laws, the board may determine that: |
10794752v2
| (a) a Participant’s ‘not vested’ Awards will vest notwithstanding some or all of the vesting conditions have not been satisfied; (b) a Participant’s ‘not vested’ Awards will lapse; or (c) a Participant’s ‘vested’ or ‘not vested’ Awards are dealt with in a manner otherwise determined by the board. The Awards (prior to Shares being allotted or transferred) do not confer any rights on the Participant either as a member or creditor of the company, are unlisted and are unsecured. |
|
|---|---|
| Assignment | The Awards are not transferable or assignable without the prior written approval of the board and must not be sold, assigned or otherwise disposed of or encumbered by Participants except in accordance with the rules of the LTIP and all applicable laws. The Company may at its discretion determine that disposal or other restrictions apply to some or all Awards and/or Shares issued on exercise or vesting of an Award and may determine the terms and conditions of such restrictions. |
| Administration | The LTIP will be administered by the board which has an absolute discretion to determine appropriate procedures for its administration and, subject to the Listing Rules and applicable laws, all decisions of the board as to the interpretation, effect or application of the plan rules and all calculations and determinations made by the board under the plan rules are final, conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. |
| Issue or acquisition of shares |
The Company may, in its discretion, issue new Shares or cause existing Shares to be acquired or transferred to the Participant, or a combination of both alternatives, to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the LTIP. If the Company determines to cause the transfer of Shares, the Shares may be acquired in such manner as the Company considers appropriate, including from a trustee appointed under the LTIP. |
| Trustee, withdrawal process and rights when Shares held by Trustee on behalf of Participant |
The board may elect to use on such terms and conditions as determined by the board in its absolute discretion an employee share trust for the purposes of subscribing for, acquiring and holding Shares issued in accordance with the LTIP (or another plan or scheme implemented by the Company from time to time) for the benefit of Participants and participants in other employee plans or schemes established from time to time. The board may do all things necessary for the establishment, administration, operation and funding of an employee share trust, |
| Termination and amendment |
The LTIP may be terminated or suspended at any time by the board, or if an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for the winding up of the Company other than for the purpose of amalgamation or reconstruction. The LTIP may be amended at any time by the board provided that any amendment does not materially alter the rights of any participant in respect of the issue of Awards under the plan prior to the date of the amendment unless: (a) the amendment is introduced primarily for the purposes of complying with or conforming to present or future applicable legislation; (b) to correct any manifest error or mistake; or (c) to enable the plan of Company to comply with any applicable laws or any required policy. |
| Limits on Grant |
When making an offer of Awards under the LTIP, the company does so in reliance on employee share scheme disclosure exemptions in the Corporations Act, it must, at the time of making the offer, have reasonable grounds to believe that the number of Shares that have been, or may be, issued in any of the circumstances covered by the following paragraphs will not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares at the time of making an offer: (a) Shares that may be issued under the offer or any other offer to be made under the Plan (to the extent offered in reliance on employee share scheme disclosure exemptions in the Corporations Act); (b) Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made at any time during the previous three year period under: a. the LTIP or any other employee incentive scheme in reliance on employee share scheme disclosure exemptions in the Corporations Actor its predecessors; or b. an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme; and (c) the number of Shares which are the subject of the offer of Awards; |
10794752v2
Offers of Awards issued other than in reliance on employee share scheme disclosure exemptions in the Corporations Act or its predecessors (such as offers received outside of Australia or under an exception in section 708 of the Corporations Act) will not be included in calculating the 5% limit.

Of these, 32,536 performance rights have been forfeited and 344,861 performance rights remain on issue with vesting dates in 2025 and 2026. Since the date of the LTIP first approval at the 2018 AGM, 933,383 shares have been issued upon exercise of performance rights which have vested.
- Maximum number of securities to be issued under the scheme
The maximum number of Awards proposed to be issued under the LTIP following the shareholder approval over the three-year period from the date of this Annual General Meeting is approximately 750,000 Awards (representing 0.48% of issued capital at the date of this NOM). This maximum is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of Awards to be issued under the LTIP but is specified for the purposes of setting a ceiling on the number of Awards approved to be issued under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b). Once that number is reached, any additional issues of Awards under the LTIP would not have the benefit of Exception 13 without a fresh shareholder approval and will only be able to be made without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the Company has sufficient placement capacity available at the time under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (or if applicable ASX Listing Rule 7.1A).
Details of any Awards granted under the LTIP will be published in the Company’s annual report for the year in which they are granted.
- Voting exclusion
A voting exclusion in respect of this Item 5 has been included in the NOM.
Directors’ recommendation
The directors abstain from making a recommendation in relation to Resolution 4, in the interests of good corporate governance. Further, as the directors are “Key Management Personnel” for the purposes of the Corporations Act, in compliance with ASIC’s policy in these circumstances none of the Directors will be making recommendations as to voting on this resolution (as the voting exclusion statement set out on page 2 of this Notice of Meeting records).
Item 6: Approval to Issue of Rights to a related party: Mr Bradley Colledge (Resolution 5)
Mr Bradley Colledge is Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and a related party of the Company by virtue of him being a Director (and so is within the category of persons in Listing Rule 10.14.1).
Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and for all other purposes to grant a maximum of 43,274 performance rights with the key terms detailed below (“ Rights ”) and any fully paid Shares issued on vesting of those Rights to Bradley Colledge (or his nominee).
Subject to obtaining the required Shareholder approval detailed below, the Rights will be issued under and subject to the terms of the Data[#] 3 Limited Long Term Incentive Plan (“ LTIP ”) approved originally at the annual general meeting for the Company held in 2018, and re-approved at the annual general meeting for the Company held in 2021 and re-approved at this AGM (if Resolution 4 is approved), and otherwise on the terms set out below (“ Rights Issue ”).
10794752v2
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed Company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme:
-
10.14.1 a director of the Company;
-
10.14.2 an associate of a director of the Company;
-
10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders;
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The Rights Issue falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
The Board has decided to grant these Rights as part of Bradley Colledge’s remuneration package, and in recognition of his contribution to the Company.
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Rights Issue on the terms (and with the effects) detailed below.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Rights Issue and will consider other ways to recognise Bradley Colledge’s contribution to the Company and incentive methods, which may include a cash-based incentive.
If approval is obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the Company is entitled to rely on ASX Listing Rule 10.12 (exception 8) as an exception to any requirement that may otherwise apply requiring Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Similarly, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1.
Key terms of the Rights
The Rights will be subject to the following key terms and conditions:
-
each Right is a right for Bradley Colledge (or his nominee) to be issued one Share upon satisfaction of the following vesting conditions (“ Relevant Vesting Conditions ”):
-
Bradley Colledge remains an employee of the Company on the date the Relevant Vesting Conditions are satisfied.
-
the Rights will vest on a straight-line proportional basis, from 0 up to a maximum of 43,274 Shares based on the actual cumulative earnings before interest and tax per share over a three year period ending on 30 June 2027 (“ Vesting Period ”) compared to a target as determined by the Board;
-
notwithstanding the specific vesting conditions outlined above, in accordance with the LTIP rules the Board may, in its absolute discretion but all times subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and other applicable laws, waive or alter any or all of Relevant Vesting Conditions. In special circumstances, such as death, total and permanent disability, redundancy or retirement, the Board may in its absolute discretion, subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and other applicable laws, permit some or all of the Shares to be issued as if Bradley Colledge had continued his employment until the date of the Relevant Vesting Conditions are satisfied.
-
prior to vesting the Rights will not be transferrable other than with the written consent of the Board;
-
prior to vesting the Rights do not carry any dividend or voting rights; and
-
the Rights will automatically vest (subject to another determination by the Board) such that the corresponding number of Shares will be delivered for the benefit of Bradley Colledge upon satisfaction of the Relevant Vesting Conditions.
In accordance with the requirements under ASX Listing Rule 10.15:
10794752v2
-
(a) Bradley Colledge is a Director of the Company (“ LR 10.14.1 Party ”);
-
(b) the number of Rights that may be acquired by Bradley Colledge in accordance with this resolution is 43,274 calculated by taking $350,000 and dividing that by the volume weighted average price of the Shares for the five day trading period commencing on the day after the 21 August 2024 announcement to the ASX of the Company’s results for the year ended 30 June 2024, being $8.088 per Share;
-
(c) for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15.4, the details of Bradley Colledge’s total remuneration package for the year ending 30 June 2025 are set out below:
| $ | |
|---|---|
| Cash salary | 660,000.00 |
| Superannuation | 29,932.20 |
| Short-term incentive | 283,000.00 |
| Proposed long-term incentive | 350,000.00 |
| Total remunerationpackage for FY25 | $1,322,932.20 |
-
(d) for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15.5, Bradley Colledge has previously been granted the following Rights under the LTIP:
-
92,025 Rights as disclosed in the Company’s 2019 annual report
-
61,475 Rights as disclosed in the Company’s 2020 annual report
-
25,790 Rights as disclosed in the Company’s 2021 annual report
-
27,580 Rights as disclosed in the Company’s 2022 annual report;
-
24,230 Rights as disclosed in the Company’s 2023 annual report.
-
21,964 Rights as disclosed in the Company’s 2024 annual report
(“ Previous Issues” ). Of these Rights, 27,580 Rights vested on 21 August 2024. The remaining Rights are scheduled to vest following the release of the FY25 and FY26 financial results subject to
satisfaction of the Relevant Vesting Conditions in accordance with the terms previously disclosed;
-
(e) for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15.5, the average acquisition price for the Previous Issues was nil and they have a nil exercise price;
-
(f) for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.5.6:
-
(i) Rights are being issued rather than Options (being the two types of Securities that are able to be issued under the LTIP), for consistency with the Previous Issues. The Board considers the grant of Rights to be a cost-effective long-term incentive method, which further aligns the interests of the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer with Shareholders by linking long-term incentives to growth in the Company’s earnings per share. This approach is consistent with best practice in executive remuneration and corporate governance; and
-
(ii) a summary of the material terms of the Rights and the rules of the LTIP are set out in this Notice of Meeting;
-
(g) the Company has attributed a value of $350,000.00 to the Rights, which has been determined with reference to independent benchmarking and advice regarding Bradley Colledge’s remuneration. The maximum value of Bradley Colledge’s long-term incentive award is equivalent to 26.5% of his total remuneration if 100% of his short-term and long-term incentives are achieved (refer to ‘Key Terms of the Rights’ above for further detail). For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15.8, the Rights will be granted for nil consideration on the basis their grant represents an incentive for future performance, and will be subject to the Relevant Vesting Conditions, and the Rights have a nil exercise price;
-
(h) whilst participating in the LTIP is open to all executive and non-executive directors, the Board has determined that Bradley Colledge, as the Company’s current executive director, is the only Director eligible to participate in the LTIP at this time;
-
(i) subject to Shareholder approval, it is intended that the Rights will be issued within five days after the 2024 Annual General Meeting, but in any event will be issued no later than twelve months after the Meeting in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15.7;
10794752v2
-
(j) for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15.10, there are no loan arrangements with Bradley Colledge in relation to the acquisition of the Rights; and
-
(k) for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15.11:
-
details of any Rights or Options issued under the LTIP will be published in the Company’s annual report relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14; and
-
any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of Rights or Options under the LTIP after the resolution is approved and who were not named in the Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.
Other general terms of the Rights
The other general terms of the Rights are:
-
should the Company undergo any reconstruction of capital, the number of Rights may be adjusted in the Board’s discretion in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and other laws as applicable at the time of the reorganisation;
-
all Shares issued pursuant to vesting of the Rights will, subject to the Company’s constitution, rank equally in all respects (other than in respect of dividends, rights issues or bonus issues declared prior to allotment) with the existing Shares at the date of issue and allotment;
-
the Rights do not entitle the holder to participate in any new issues by the Company without having vested into Shares; and
-
the Rights will not be quoted on the ASX.
Corporations Act
Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act a public Company cannot give a financial benefit to a related party unless an exception applies or Shareholders have, in a general meeting, approved the giving of that financial benefit.
Bradley Colledge is a related party of the Company due to the fact that he is a Director. The issue of the Rights will constitute the giving of a financial benefit to a related party for the purposes of section 229(3)(e) of the Corporations Act.
The Board of the Company (excluding Bradley Colledge) considers that the issue of the Rights to Bradley Colledge constitutes reasonable remuneration within the meaning of the exception in section 211(1) of the Corporations Act on the basis that the Rights are a necessary part of the incentive and remuneration package for Bradley Colledge in his current role and having regard to the circumstances of the Company, the duties and responsibilities of Bradley Colledge and market levels of remuneration for people in his position in similar sized companies. Therefore, the Company is not seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act in addition to the approval being sought under the Listing Rules.
Existing interests and the dilutionary effect on other Shareholders’ interests
The effect that the grant and vesting of the Rights will have on the interest of Bradley Colledge relative to other Shareholders’ interests is set out in the following table:
| Details as at the date of this Notice of Meeting | Number |
|---|---|
| The total number of Shares on issue in the capital of the Company |
154,908,333 |
| Shares currently held by director (including indirect interests) |
