Resolution 5. Approval of Issue of Securities under the Equity Plan – Exception to Listing Rule 7.1
Approval sought
The ASX Listing Rules generally restrict listed companies from issuing more than 15% of their issued share capital in any 12 month period without shareholder approval. However, there are exceptions to this restriction, one of which states that general Listing Rule requirements for shareholder approval will not apply to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of the issue, shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to the rule.
If the Plan is approved by shareholders, issues of securities under the Plan over the next three years will fall under this ASX Listing Rule exception and will not affect the Company’s ability to separately issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities in any 12-month period (without having to obtain further shareholder approval).
Background
The Company has established the Plan to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of employees and replaces previous employee share plans of the Company.
The Plan is designed to align the interests of executives and employees with the interests of shareholders by providing an opportunity for the participants to receive any equity interest in the Company.
The Company has not issued any securities under the Plan as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2, exception 9, a summary of the key terms of the Plan is set out in Attachment A.
The Directors unanimously recommend shareholder vote in favour of this Resolution.
Resolution 6. Remuneration Report
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the Act ) requires that the section of the Directors' Report dealing with the remuneration of directors and key management personnel ( KMP ) of the Company ( Remuneration Report ) be put to the vote of shareholders for adoption by way of a non-binding vote.
Broadly, the Remuneration Report details the remuneration policy for the Company and:
-
explains the structure of and rationale behind the Company’s remuneration practices and the link between the remuneration of executives and the Company’s performance;
-
sets out remuneration details for each Director and for each executive with authority and responsibility for directing the affairs of the Company; and
-
discusses the relationship between the policy and Company performance.
Shareholders can view the full Remuneration Report in the Annual Report which is available on DTI’s website at http://www.dti.com.au/investors/.

NOTICE OF 2018 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
DTI GROUP LTD ACN 069 791 091
Following consideration of the Remuneration Report, the Chairman of the Meeting will give shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report. A resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted will then be put to the vote. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. However the Board will take the outcome of the vote into account in setting remuneration policy for future years.
The Directors abstain, in the interests of corporate governance, from making a recommendation in relation to this Resolution.
Resolution 7. Approval of Additional Share Issue Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables mid to small cap listed companies to seek shareholder approval by special resolution to issue equity securities equivalent to an additional 10% of the number of ordinary securities on issue by way of placement over a 12 month period ( 10% Placement Facility ). This is in addition to the existing 15% placement capacity permitted by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
A company is eligible to seek shareholder approval for this additional placement capacity if it satisfies both of the following criteria at the date of the AGM:
-
a. it has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less; and
-
b. it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index.
The Company currently satisfies both the above criteria, and it is anticipated that it will satisfy both these criteria at the date of the AGM.
Accordingly, Resolution 7 is seeking approval of ordinary Shareholders by special resolution for the issue of such number of equity securities as calculated under the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, at an issue price as permitted by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3 to such persons as the Board may determine, on the terms as described in this Explanatory Memorandum.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 215,341,850 fully paid ordinary shares and a capacity to issue:
-
a. 32,301,277 equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
b. 21,534,185 equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number equity securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the equity securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
That formula is:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(a) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(b) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(c) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid Shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;
-
(d) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.
10
NOTICE OF 2018 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
DTI GROUP LTD ACN 069 791 091
-
Note that ‘A’ is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
-
D is 10%
-
E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue, that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.
The effect of Resolution 7 will be to allow the Directors to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during a 10% placement period, without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided:
-
The minimum price at which the equity securities will be issued will be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for ordinary shares calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades are recorded immediately before:
-
a. the date on which the price at which the shares are to be issued is agreed; or
-
b. if the shares are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph a., the date on which the shares are issued.
-
If Resolution 7 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing ordinary Shareholders face the risk of economic and voting dilution as a result of the issue of equity securities which are the subject of this Resolution, to the extent that such equity securities are issued, including:
-
a. the market price of equity securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date on which this approval is being sought; and
-
b. the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.
- The following table gives examples of the potential dilution of existing ordinary Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A”, calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of the Notice.
The table also shows:
-
a. two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
b. two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
a. the Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Placement Facility in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;
-
b. the 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%;
-
c. the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the AGM;
-
d. the table shows only the effect of issues of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
-
e. the issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of shares; and
-
f. the issue price is $0.07 per share[2] , being the closing price of the shares on ASX on 26 September 2018.
-
If any of the shares being approved by this Resolution are issued, they will be issued during the placement period, that is, within 12 months of the date of the AGM (i.e. by 20 November 2019) and the approval being sought under Resolution 7 will cease to be valid if ordinary Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking) prior to 20 November 2018.
-
The Company may seek to issue the equity securities for the following purposes:
-
a. cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), continued development of the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital; or
-
b. non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
-
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any equity securities.

- A Voting Exclusion Statement is set out under the Resolution in the Notice of Meeting. Potential allottees under the 10% Placement Facility (should it be approved) have not been identified as at the date of this Notice, but may include existing Shareholders and/or parties who are not currently Shareholders and are not related parties or associates of the Company.
Resolution 7 is a special resolution. For a special resolution to be passed, at least 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and entitled to vote on the resolution must be in favour of the resolution.
The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
Resolution 8. Issue of Performance Rights under the DTI Group Limited Equity Plan - Peter Tazewell
Background
This resolution deals with the proposed issue of performance rights to Mr Peter Tazewell, Managing Director, to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in the Company under the DTI Equity Plan.
The Company has established the Plan to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of employees.
The Plan is designed to align the interests of executives, employees and directors with the interests of shareholders by providing an opportunity for the participants to receive any equity interest in the Company.
Those Directors, who do not have an interest in the outcome of the relevant resolution, recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution for the reasons set out below:
-
the Directors consider that it is important for DTI to be able to attract and retain experienced executive Directors and that the proposed issue of performance rights to Mr Tazewell is appropriate taking into account his high level of experience and contribution to DTI;
-
the Directors consider that the proposed number of performance rights to be issued to Mr Tazewell is appropriate to:
-
a. motivate him to pursue the long term growth and success of DTI, within an appropriate control framework;
-
b. align the interests of key leadership with the long-term interests of DTI’s shareholders;
-
c. ensure a clear correlation between performance and remuneration, in accordance with DTIs remuneration policy; and
-
ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations (3[rd] edition) note that equity-based remuneration can be an effective form of remuneration for executives.
ASX Listing Rule 10.14
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit a director or an associate of a director to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without shareholder approval. Accordingly, approval for the grant of unlisted performance rights to Mr Tazewell is required. Approval of this resolution will result in the grant of unlisted performance rights to Mr Tazewell falling within exception 14 in Listing Rule 7.2. Therefore, the issue of unlisted performance rights to Mr Tazewell will not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of shares in DTI on the vesting of the performance rights will also be excluded from Listing Rule 7.1.
15
NOTICE OF 2018 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
DTI GROUP LTD ACN 069 791 091
Vesting Conditions – Performance Rights
DTI wish to issue up to 300,000 performance rights to Mr Tazewell which are convertible into up to 300,000 ordinary fully paid shares in the Company, subject to the achievement of vesting conditions over a three (3) year performance period from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021 ( Performance Period ).
The performance rights will be subject to a relative total shareholder return ( RTSR Hurdle ), which compares the total shareholder return performance of the Company with each of the entities within the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index. Total shareholder return measures the change in share price and dividends over the Performance Period.
In order for the performance rights to vest, the RTSR of the Company is compared to companies in the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index as at the commencement of the relevant Performance Period.
The RTSR of each of the entities in a comparator group will be measured from the start of the Performance Period to the end of the Performance Period.
The RTSR Hurdle for the Performance Period will be determined in accordance with the principles set out in the table below:
| Company’s RTSR percentile rank against comparator group |
Vesting percentage |
|---|---|
| Less than 50th | Nil |
| At 50th | 50% |
| Between 50thto 75th | 50-100% on a straight line basis |
| At 75th | 100% |
Testing of the RTSR Hurdle will occur shortly after the end of the Performance Period and release of DTI’s full year audited results for the preceding financial year, and the number of performance rights that vest (if any) will be determined. Any performance rights that remain unvested will lapse immediately.
Performance rights do not carry any dividend or voting rights.
Allocation of Shares on Vesting
If the RTSR Hurdle is satisfied, the performance rights will vest. Upon vesting, Mr Tazewell will generally be allocated the relevant number of shares in DTI on a one-for-one basis, being one share for each performance right that vests. Any shares allocated to Mr Tazewell may be acquired on-market or issued by the Company. Performance rights may be satisfied in either shares or an equivalent value cash payment in lieu of an allocation of shares (calculated in accordance with the Plan rules) as determined appropriate by the Board. It is the Board’s current intention that any shares that may be awarded to Mr Tazewell will be issued by DTI.
