Item 2 – Remuneration report

The vote on the remuneration report is advisory only and does not bind the directors or Photon. The remuneration report is set out on pages 19 to 34 of Photon’s Annual Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2009. The report:

  • explains the Board’s policies in relation to remuneration paid to Photon’s directors, the company secretary and senior managers;

  • reviews the relationship between those policies and Photon’s performance;

  • provides details of the remuneration paid to directors and some members of Photon’s senior management team; and

  • provides details of performance conditions relating to remuneration, and how performance against the conditions is measured.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the meeting.

The Photon Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

  • (a) the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time that it was made; and

  • (b) shareholders subsequently approve the issue.

Items 4.1 to 4.3 below seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of Photon Shares in respect of three circumstances that have occurred in the period since the last Notice of Annual General Meeting was sent to Photon shareholders.

If shareholders approve these issues of Photon Shares, it will have the effect of “refreshing” Photon’s ability to issue further Photon Shares during the following 12 months. Approving these resolutions gives Photon flexibility in relation to any issues it may make in the future.

Item 4.1 – Deferred consideration under acquisition

Photon issued 434,650 Photon Shares as deferred consideration for its acquisition of Found Agency Pty Limited, as disclosed in the Appendix 3B which was lodged with ASX on 30 September 2008.

Photon provides the following information to shareholders in relation to this resolution in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) A total of 434,650 Photon Shares were issued.

Item 3 – Re-election of Director

Clause 6.1(f) of Photon’s constitution requires that one third of directors (rounded down to the nearest whole number and excluding the managing director) and any other director who, if he or she does not retire, will at the conclusion of the meeting have been in office for three or more years or for three or more AGMs since he or she was last elected to office, must retire at the AGM. Retiring directors may seek re-election. Susan McIntosh is a current director of Photon who is retiring and seeking re-election in accordance with clause 6.1(f) of the constitution.

The Photon Board (other than Susan McIntosh) unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 3.1 to re-elect Susan McIntosh as a director of Photon.

Item 4 – Approval of prior issues of Photon Shares

Subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that Photon may not issue or agree to issue equity securities in any 12-month period which total more than 15% of the total number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue at the start of that period, without shareholder approval (15% Rule).

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows Photon to treat an issue of Photon Shares which was made without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 as being made with such approval, if:

  • (b) The Photon Shares were issued at a price of $3.155 per share.

  • (c) The Photon Shares were issued on the same terms as other issued shares of Photon.

  • (d) The Photon Shares were issued to the vendors of Found Agency Pty Limited.

  • (e) No funds were raised as the Photon Shares were issued as deferred consideration for the acquisition of Found Agency Pty Limited.

The Photon Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Item 4.2 – Options issued to division managing directors

On 30 June 2009, Photon issued to certain managing directors of various divisions of Photon 400,000 options to subscribe for Photon Shares, as disclosed in the Appendix 3B which was lodged with ASX on 3 July 2009 (Options).

The 15% Rule described above in Item 4 applies equally to the Options. Accordingly, approval from Photon’s shareholders is sought so that the issue of the Options does not reduce Photon’s capacity under the 15% Rule.

The Options were issued as part of the remuneration packages of each of the managing directors to whom the Options were issued. The Photon Board considers that the issue of the Options is an appropriate and reasonable component of the remuneration of the managing directors

exPlaNatory Notes

to whom the Options were issued, having regard to the circumstances of Photon and their respective roles with Photon.

Summary of Options’ terms

The main features of the Options are set out below.

Exercise of Options: The exercise of an Option will entitle the optionholder to subscribe for one Photon Share at the exercise price of $1.51.

Duration of Options: The Options expire on the earlier of 30 June 2014 and the date on which the optionholder ceases to be an employee of Photon (Expiry Date). Options not exercised on or before the Expiry Date automatically lapse.

Exercise of Options: Unless the Photon Board agrees otherwise:

  • no Options may be exercised in the period which is two years from the issue date;

  • after two years, the optionholder is entitled to exercise up to one third of the total number of Options granted to the optionholder;

  • after three years, the optionholder is entitled to exercise up to two thirds of the total number of Options granted to the optionholder; and

  • after four years but prior to the Expiry Date, the optionholder is entitled to exercise all of the Options.

Subject to those restrictions, during an exercise period (each period of one month from the dates upon which Photon lodges its half yearly report and preliminary final report) an optionholder may exercise his or her Options at any time by giving Photon notice in writing.

Reconstructions: If at any time prior to the exercise by the optionholder of any outstanding Options, there is any reconstruction (including a consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of Photon, the outstanding Options will be re-organised in the manner required by the ASX Listing Rules on a reconstruction of capital at the time of the reconstruction.

Bonus issues: On each bonus date, each outstanding Option confers on the optionholder the right to receive on exercise of those outstanding Options not only an allotment of one Photon Share for each of the outstanding Options exercised, but also an allotment of the additional Photon Shares and/or other securities which the optionholder would have received had the optionholder participated in that bonus issue.

Rights issues: Outstanding Options do not carry the right to participate in any new issues of securities by Photon. The exercise price of the Options will reduce in

accordance with the formula set out in ASX Listing Rule 6.22.2 in the event of a pro rata rights issue being made by Photon.

Assignment of Options: The optionholder may request the Photon Board to issue the Options to a company controlled by the optionholder. The Options may not be assigned by the optionholder to any other person.

Photon provides the following information to shareholders in relation to this resolution in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) A total of 400,000 Options were issued.

  • (b) The Options were issued for nil consideration.

  • (c) The Options were issued pursuant to the terms described above.

  • (d) The Options were issued to John Wilkins (150,000 Options), Mark Dalgleish (150,000 Options) and Stewart Bailey (100,000 Options), each being a division managing director of Photon.

  • (e) No funds were raised as the Options were issued for nil consideration.

The Photon Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Item 4.3 – Placement

On 18 August 2009, Photon announced that it had completed a placement of 14,439,268 Photon Shares to institutional and sophisticated investors (Placement), as disclosed in the Appendix 3B which was lodged with ASX on 17 August 2009.

Photon provides the following information to shareholders in relation to this resolution in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) A total of 14,439,268 Photon Shares were issued.

  • (b) The Photon Shares were issued on the same terms as other issued shares of Photon.

  • (c) The Photon Shares were issued at a price of $1.85 per share.

  • (d) The Photon Shares were issued to various institutional and sophisticated investors chosen by Morgan Stanley Australia Securities Limited, being persons to whom offers could be made without disclosure under applicable legislation.

  • (e) The funds raised from the issue (net of transaction costs) will be used by Photon to reduce the amount of debt outstanding.

The Photon Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

exPlaNatory Notes

Item 5 – Issue of options under the ECOS to Tim Hughes and Matthew Bailey

As shareholders are aware, Photon has in place the ECOS, which was approved by Photon’s shareholders at the 2008 AGM. Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any directors to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme such as the ECOS without the approval of shareholders. Shareholder approval is therefore sought to permit Tim Hughes and Matthew Bailey to participate in the ECOS for the 2010 financial year. The Photon Board proposes, subject to shareholder approval and the Vesting Conditions (as defined below) being satisfied, to issue:

  • 400,000 options to subscribe for Photon Shares to Tim Hughes, Photon’s Executive Chairman; and

  • 400,000 options to subscribe for Photon Shares to Matthew Bailey, Photon’s Chief Executive Officer,

pursuant to the terms of the ECOS (2010 ECOS Options).

The terms of the ECOS were summarised in Photon’s Notice of Annual General Meeting for the 2008 AGM. The main features of the 2010 ECOS Options are set out below.

Summary of 2010 ECOS Option terms

Issue price: The 2010 ECOS Options will be issued for nil consideration. Each 2010 ECOS Option carries the right, upon exercise and payment of the exercise price, to the issue of one Photon Share.

Vesting Conditions: The 2010 ECOS Options will only vest and be issued if each of the following conditions are satisfied:

  • (a) the increase in Photon EPS for the financial year ending 30 June 2010 compared to the Photon EPS in the financial year ending 30 June 2009 is 10% or more. “Photon EPS” means underlying earnings per share of Photon Group Limited for the relevant year ending 30 June calculated for both the 2009 and 2010 financial years on the basis of Photon’s diluted share capital after the completion of the institutional placement and rights issue announced on 17 August 2009, excluding any impairment adjustments or one-off restructure or redundancy charges (Performance Hurdle). For the purposes of the Performance Hurdle, the Photon EPS for the period to 30 June 2009 is 19.6 cents per Photon Share. The Board will determine whether the Performance Hurdle has been satisfied as soon as practicable after Photon’s financial statements for the financial year ending 30 June 2010 have been lodged with ASX (Vesting Date); and

  • (b) unless the Board determines otherwise, Tim Hughes and Matthew Bailey (respectively) are employed by Photon as at 30 June 2010.

Exercise of options: Unless the Photon Board determines otherwise, if the Vesting Conditions have been satisfied, the 2010 ECOS Options may be exercised in any exercise window following the Vesting Date until the expiry date by giving notice to Photon in writing.

Exercise window: Unless the Photon Board determines otherwise, the 2010 ECOS Options may only be exercised during the periods of one month following announcement by Photon of its full year and half year financial results.

Exercise price: The exercise price for the 2010 ECOS Options will be the 30-day volume weighted average price of Photon Shares prior to 30 June 2009, namely $1.51.

Expiry date: The 2010 ECOS Options will expire three years after the Vesting Date. Any 2010 ECOS Options not exercised on or before the expiry date automatically lapse.

Change of control: The 2010 ECOS Options will be exercisable on a change in control of Photon.

No loan: Photon will not provide any loan to Tim Hughes or Matthew Bailey in relation to the exercise of the 2010 ECOS Options.

Reconstructions: If at any time prior to the exercise of any 2010 ECOS Options, there is a reconstruction (including a consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of Photon, the 2010 ECOS Options will be reorganised in the manner required by the ASX Listing Rules on a reconstruction of capital at the time of the reconstruction.

Bonus issues: On each bonus date, each 2010 ECOS Option confers on the holder the right to receive on exercise of those 2010 ECOS Options not only an allotment of one Photon Share for each of the 2010 ECOS Options exercised, but also an allotment of the additional Photon Shares and/or other securities which the holder would have received had he or she participated in that bonus issue.

Rights issues: Unexercised 2010 ECOS Options do not carry the right to participate in any new issues of securities by Photon. If Photon undertakes a pro rata issue, the exercise price of 2010 ECOS Options will be adjusted in accordance with the formula contained in ASX Listing Rule 6.22.2.

Assignment of options: Each of Tim Hughes and Matthew Bailey may request the Board to issue the 2010 ECOS Options to a company controlled by them (respectively). The 2010 ECOS Options may not be assigned to any other person.
