IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING MEETING ATTENDANCE AND VOTING
Due to current restrictions in place as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and, in particular, the Government ban on large public gatherings and social distancing requirements, the Company is unable to allow many to attend the Meeting in person. Shareholders should note that the attendance limits will include the officers of the Company and technical and advisory attendees.
While the Company is able to hold the Meeting physically albeit in strictly limited numbers and is required to invite Shareholders to attend the Meeting in person, the Company strongly encourages Shareholders to instead attend the Meeting virtually via a web-based meeting portal arranged for the Meeting.
The Board also considers that the health, safety and welfare of the Company’s staff, its Shareholders and other stakeholders is of paramount importance.
All resolutions at the Meeting will be voted on by poll and Shareholders who are entitled to vote may vote either prior to the Meeting by appointing a proxy or by poll during the Meeting (such poll to be taken both physically at the Meeting and electronically). Further details of the voting methods open to Shareholders are set out in detail below.
Shareholders are strongly encouraged to either vote prior to the Meeting or to appoint the Chair as their proxy.
The Board will continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation closely and details of any alternative arrangements for the Meeting will be issued to Shareholders electronically by no later than 14 days prior to the date of the Meeting.
The Company is aware that, at present, there are significant delays in the Australian postal system due to Covid-19, which may potentially adversely affect both the receipt and return of voting forms by Shareholders. Accordingly, the Board has despatched by email the Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement to all Shareholders who have provided an email address to the Company’s share registrar. A copy of the Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement can also be accessed on the ASX company announcements platform at www.asx.com.au.
Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting virtually must first register their attendance with the Company by no later than 11.00am (WST) on 23 November 2020, the day prior to the day of the Meeting, by email to the Company Secretary at [email protected], including the Shareholder’s name, address and HIN or SRN. The Company will then email the Shareholder the details to participate in the virtual Meeting via zoom (a web-based meeting portal).
Shareholders are encouraged to submit any questions that they may wish to put to the Company during the Meeting in writing by email to the Company Secretary at [email protected], by no later than 11.00am (WST) on 23 November 2020, the day prior to the Meeting.

To be valid, the proxy form (and any power of attorney under which it is signed) must be completed and returned by the time and in accordance with the instructions set out in the proxy form. Any proxy form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled Meeting.
Subject to any voting restrictions set out in a voting exclusion statement in respect of the Resolutions, the Chair will vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of, each Resolution.
Corporate representatives
A body corporate may appoint an individual as its representative to exercise any of the powers the body may exercise at meetings of a company’s members. The appointment may be a standing one.

C. ITEMS FOR APPROVAL
Resolution 1. Remuneration Report
To consider and if thought fit, pass the following as a non-binding ordinary resolution of the Company:
“ That the Company’s Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020, as set out in the Directors’ Report, is adopted.”
The Remuneration Report is contained in the 2020 Annual Report (available at http://www.dti.com.au/investors/). Please note that, in accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Act ), the vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Voting Exclusion Statement
A vote on Resolution 1 must not be cast (in any capacity) by, or on behalf of, the following persons:
-
a. a member of the Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) whose remuneration details are included in the 2020 Remuneration Report; or
-
b. a closely related party of such a KMP (including close family members and companies the KMP controls).
However, a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution 1 as a proxy if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described above and either:
-
a. the proxy appointment is in writing that specifies the way the proxy is to vote (e.g. for, against, abstain) on the resolution; or
-
b. the vote is cast by the chair of the Meeting and the appointment of the chair as proxy:
-
i. does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and
-
ii. expressly authorises the chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.
In addition, a vote must not be cast on Resolution 1 as a proxy by a member of the Key Management Personnel at the date of the Meeting, or a closely related party of those persons, unless it is cast as proxy for a person entitled to vote in accordance with their directions. This restriction on voting undirected proxies does not apply to the Chairman of the Meeting because the proxy appointment expressly authorises the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise undirected proxies even if the resolution is connected, directly or indirectly, with the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel
“Key management personnel” and “closely related party” have the same meaning as set out in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

“That Greg Purdy, who retires in accordance with clause 13.2(a) of the Company’s Constitution and being eligible for election, is re-elected as a Director of the Company.”
Resolution 3. Re-election of Director – Mr Chris Afentoulis
To consider and, if thought fit, pass the following as an ordinary resolution of the Company:

NOTICE OF 2020 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
DTI GROUP LTD ACN 069 791 091
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of shareholders of the Company ( Shareholders ) in relation to the business to be conducted at the Company’s AGM to be held on Tuesday, 24 November 2020.
The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to decide how to vote upon the resolutions.
Subject to the abstentions noted below, the Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of all Resolutions. The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each resolution.
Resolution 1, relating to the Remuneration Report, is advisory and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Resolutions 2 and 3 are ordinary resolutions, which require a simple majority of votes cast by Shareholders present and entitled to vote on the resolution.
Resolution 4 is to be voted on as 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.
Resolution 1. 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 nonbinding 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/.
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 2. Re-Election of Director – Mr Greg Purdy
Listing Rule 14.4 and Clause 13.2(a) of the Constitution requires that no Director, who is not the Managing Director, may hold office for a continuous period in excess of three years or until the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment or election, whichever is the longer, without submitting for re-election. If no such Director would be required to submit for re-election, but the ASX Listing Rules require an election of Directors to be held, the Directors to retire will be the Directors who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on
9
NOTICE OF 2020 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
the same day, the one to retire will (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.
Greg Purdy was appointed as an independent non-executive Director on 16 November 2018 and was re-elected at the Annual General Meeting on 20 November 2018 and assumed the role of non-executive Chairman. In accordance with clause 13.2(a) of the Constitution, and as was determined by lot, Greg Purdy retires by rotation and is eligible for re-election as a Director of the Company.
Mr Purdy is an experienced corporate executive with a strong background in technology and communications companies and execution of major technology projects. Mr Purdy is a former senior executive with Hewlett Packard, Telstra and the Tenix Group. Mr Purdy is a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
The Directors, with Greg Purdy abstaining, unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
Resolution 3. Re-Election of Director – Mr Chris Afentoulis
Chris Afentoulis was appointed as an independent non-executive Director of the Company pursuant to clause 13.4 of the Constitution on 19 November 2019. In accordance with clause 13.4 of the Constitution, Chris Afentoulis retires from office at the AGM and is eligible for election as a Director of the Company.
Mr Afentoulis is a qualified chartered accountant and a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. With more than 15 years’ experience in professional services and senior executive positions including finance, management and corporate strategy with a range of IT service and Technology companies.
The Directors, with Chris Afentoulis abstaining, unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
Resolution 4. 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 4 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 334,976,560 fully paid ordinary shares and a capacity to issue:
- a. 50,246,484 equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and b. 33,497,656 equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
10
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
-
Where A is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period,
-
I. plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
-
II. plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
a. the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
b. the issue of, or agreement to issue, the +convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,
-
III. plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
a. the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
b. the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,
-
IV. plus the number of any other Shares issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4,
Note: This may include fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 17 where the issue is subsequently approved under rule 7.1.
-
V. plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period,
-
VI. less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period;
-
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 Resolution4 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
11
-
b. if the shares are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph a., the date on which the shares are issued.
-
If Resolution 4 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. If Shareholders don’t approve Resolution 4, the Company will be unable to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity and will therefore require separate shareholder approval or utilise the placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
- 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 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
a. The current shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 16 October 2020.
-
b. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 16 October 2020.
-
c. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
d. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
e. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
f. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
a. the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
b. the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
-
If any of the shares being approved by this Resolution are issued, they will be issued during the relevant period, that is, within the earlier of 12 months of the date of the AGM (i.e. by 23 November 2021), the time of the next annual general meeting and the date 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).
