Part A – Ordinary business

-
7 Apart from the matters involving remuneration which are required to be voted upon, neither the Corporations Act nor the Constitution requires a vote of Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on the financial statements and reports.
-
8 Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to raise questions and make comments on these reports.
-
9 In addition to asking questions at the Meeting, Shareholders may address written questions to the chairman about the management of the Company or to the Company’s auditor Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu if the question is relevant to:

Resolution 2: Re-election of Mr John Toms as a Director
-
16 Listing Rule 14.5 states that a public listed company must hold an election of directors each year. Rule 3.6(c) of the Constitution requires that an election of Directors occur at each annual general meeting. In accordance with Rule 3.6(a) of the Constitution, a Director must retire from office at the third annual general meeting after the Director was elected or last re-elected. In addition, as per Listing Rule 14.4, no director of a publicly listed company may hold office, without reelection, past:
-
(a) the third annual general meeting following that director’s appointment; or
-
(b) three years,
whichever is longer.
-
17 Mr John Toms is required to retire from office under the Listing Rules and Rule 3.6(a) of the Constitution as he was re-elected at the Company’s 2013 annual general meeting.

Resolutions 3 and 4 – Ratification and approval of the previous issue of Emerchants Shares
-
21 As announced to the market, on 3 June 2016, Emerchants completed its acquisition of 100% of the assets of SFS and its subsidiary company StoreFinancial Services of Canada Limited from the shareholders of SFS. The purchase price for the SFS assets was US$35 million[1] , comprising US$26.7 million in cash and an equity component of 7,903,710 Emerchants Shares.
-
22 The cash component of the SFS Acquisition was funded through the issue of 40,350,000 Emerchants Shares to eligible institutional and sophisticated investors on 3 June 2016 ( Placement Shares) . The Placement Shares were issued at a 12.7% discount to the closing price of Emerchants Shares on 27 April 2016 and a discount of 10.9% of the five day VWAP of Emerchants Shares traded on the ASX up to and including the issue date.
-
23 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows Emerchants to issue a maximum of 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period without requiring Shareholder approval ( Placement Capacity ).
-
24 Listing Rule 7.4 permits a company to treat an issue of securities as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 in circumstances where shareholders subsequently ratify the issue of securities thereby replenishing Emerchants’ Placement Capacity and enabling it to issue further securities up to that limit.
| Resolution 3 | Resolution 4 | |

| Number of Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1 |

Resolution 5 – Change of name of Company to “EML Payments Limited”
-
26 Section 157(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may adopt a new name by a special resolution passed at a general meeting. Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought to change the Company’s name from Emerchants Limited to EML Payments Limited.
-
27 With the Company’s recent acquisition of the assets of the North American company Store Financial Services, LLC and its previous acquisition of Store Financial Services UK, Limited in 2014, the Directors consider it appropriate to consolidate all operations and align brand recognition across all subsidiaries by renaming, subject to shareholder approval contemplated by the resolution, the parent company to EML Payments Limited with the subsidiaries to be referred to as EML Payments USA, LLC, EML Payments Canada, EML Payments Europe and EML Payment Solutions Limited.
-
