02

Voting

You can vote in either of two ways:

  • attending the meeting and voting in person or by attorney, or if you are a corporate shareholder, by corporate representative voting for you; or

  • appointing a proxy to attend and vote for you, using the enclosed voting and proxy form.

Voting in person (or by attorney)

Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the meeting are asked to arrive at the meeting venue at least 30 minutes prior to the time designated for the meeting so that we may check their shareholding against our register of members and note their attendance. Attorneys should bring with them an original or certified copy of the Power of Attorney under which they have been authorised to attend and vote at the meeting. The meeting will be held at 10.00am on Thursday, 19 October 2017 at Level 2, 100 Harris Street, Pyrmont NSW 2009.

Voting by corporate representative

If a corporate shareholder plans to attend through a corporate representative, it must appoint a person to act as its representative and the appointed person must bring appropriate written evidence of the appointment to the meeting signed under the corporation’s common seal or in accordance with section 127 of the Corporations Act.

Voting by proxy

A shareholder who is unable to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting ( AGM ) is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote for the shareholder at the meeting. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company and may be an individual or a body corporate.

If a shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes, they may appoint up to two proxies and may specify the percentage or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. Where two proxies are appointed, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specific proportion of the shareholder’s voting rights and an additional form of proxy is available on request from the Company. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit. However, where a Restricted Voter is appointed as a proxy

but not directed as to how to vote, the proxy may only vote on Resolutions 1, 4 and 5 if the proxy is the Chair of the meeting and the appointment 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. If such authorisation is given, the Chair intends to vote in favour of Resolutions 1, 4 and 5.

Where a shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the shareholder’s votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. The form of proxy must be signed by a shareholder or a shareholder’s attorney. Proxies given by corporations must be signed in accordance with their constituent documents or as authorised by the Corporations Act. If the form of proxy is executed under power of attorney it must accompany the form of proxy unless it has already been noted by the Company. In the case of joint shareholders, names of the joint shareholders should be shown on the form of proxy.

Voting entitlements

The Company has determined that for the purpose of determining voting entitlements for the general meeting, shares in the Company will be taken to be held by those people who are shown in the register of members as at 7.00pm Sydney time on Tuesday, 17 October 2017.

Timing

For the appointment of a proxy to be valid, the proxy forms (together with any power of attorney or other authority) must be returned:

  • by post to the share registry, Link Market Services Limited, Locked Bag A14, Sydney South NSW 1235 Australia;

  • online at

  • www.linkmarketservices.com.au; or

  • by successfully transmitted facsimile transmission to Link Market Services on +61 2 9287 0309,

by no later than 10.00am Sydney time on Tuesday, 17 October 2017.

Shareholder queries should be directed to the Company Secretary by phone (02) 8213 3031 or by email [email protected].

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the AGM.

All shareholders should read this Explanatory Statement carefully and in its entirety before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Enero Group Limited

The vote on the Remuneration Report is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, in accordance with the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the 2017 AGM, and if at the 2018 AGM at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution for adoption of the 2018 Remuneration Report are against it, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the 2018 AGM, to approve calling an extraordinary general meeting to consider the election of Directors ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must then convene an extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the 2018 AGM. All of the Directors who were in office when the 2017 Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will need to stand for reelection at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors.

Each Director recommends the adoption of the Remuneration Report by shareholders.

Resolution 2 – Election of Director

Rule 6.1(e) of the Company’s Constitution requires any Director who has been appointed by the Directors since the last AGM either as an addition to the existing Directors or to fill a casual vacancy on the Board to retire. Retiring Directors may seek re-election. Anouk Darling was appointed as an independent, Non-Executive Director of the Board on 6 February 2017.

John is the Chairman of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

Each Director (other than John Porter) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 to re-elect John Porter as a Director of the Company.

Resolution 4 – Approval of the Enero Share Appreciation Rights Plan

During 2011 Enero introduced the SAR Plan designed to incentivise Enero’s senior executives and other senior management of Enero and its controlled entities.

Why is shareholder approval being sought?

Listing Rule 7.1 requires shareholder approval by ordinary resolution for an issue of equity securities if, over a 12-month period, the amount of equity securities issued is more than 15% of the number of ordinary shares on issue at the start of that 12-month period. However, Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9(b) provides that an issue under an employee incentive scheme is exempted from the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 if shareholders approve the issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 no more than three years before the date of issue.

Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9(b) requires shareholders to be informed of the number of securities issued under the relevant employee incentive scheme since the date of the last approval. The SAR Plan was last approved by shareholders at the 2014 AGM held on 29 October 2014. This is the second time that approval has been sought for the SAR Plan for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9(a). No Shares and a total of 5,700,000 Share Rights have been issued under the SAR Plan since the Company last received approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9(a) in 2014.

Subject to there being no material amendments to the terms of the SAR Plan, approval of the SAR Plan at the meeting will be effective for three years from the date of the resolution. In the absence of such approval, future issues of securities under the SAR Plan may still be made, but must be counted towards the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.

04

Key terms of the SAR Plan

Eligibility

Eligibility to participate in the SAR Plan and the number of Share Rights offered to each Eligible Employee will be determined by the Board.

Non-executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the SAR Plan. Executive Directors are eligible to participate in the plan but will not participate until shareholder approval is obtained in accordance with Listing Rule 10.14.

Grants and plan limits

Under the rules of the SAR Plan, Share Rights may be offered and granted to eligible employees of the Group from time to time, at the absolute discretion of the Board provided that the aggregate number of shares on offer under the SAR Plan (or in each case any other relevant employee share scheme) may not exceed 15% of the total share capital of Enero at the time of the offer (noting that if Enero seeks to rely on ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (the Class Order ) in relation to an offer then the limit for that offer, all outstanding Share Rights offered under the Class Order and all shares of Enero issued in the previous three years under the SAR Plan, or any other employee share scheme, in each case relying on the Class Order, equals 5% of the share capital of Enero at the time of the offer).

For the purposes of calculating the number of shares on offer under the SAR Plan at any time the Board will deem any unexercised Share Right that does not have a fixed conversion rate (that is, where the number of Shares into which a Share Right is convertible is not known at the time of the relevant offer) to be convertible into one Share (or, if the Share Right may be convertible into more than one Share, such number of Shares as the Board may reasonably determine). However, the Share Rights issued under the SAR Plan to date will each convert into a fraction of one Share upon vesting.

Terms and conditions

The specific terms and conditions of each Share Right issued pursuant to the SAR Plan may be determined by the Board prior to such Share Right’s issue and allotment and will be notified to the Eligible Employee when the offer of such Share Right is made to that Eligible Employee.

For example, the price payable per Share Right (if any), the conversion rate, the performance hurdles (if any) and the vesting and exercise profile of each Share Right will be determined by the Board prior to its issue and allotment and may vary from holder to holder, but subject always to:

  • a. the restriction that one Share Right shall never convert into more than one Share; and

  • b. the over-riding plan limits described above.

Vesting conditions and performance period Share Rights will vest and become exercisable if and to the extent that any applicable performance conditions specified in the terms of the offer are satisfied during any applicable performance period and the Share Rights have not lapsed.

Both the performance conditions and performance period (if applicable) are set by the Board in its absolute discretion.

Vesting and exercise

The Board currently intends Share Rights to vest in tranches if the result of A – B in the conversion formula (below) for each such Share Right is greater than zero.

Share entitlement ( E ) = A – B

A

Where:

A = the volume weighted average price of Shares as listed on the ASX ( Enero VWAP ) for the 20 trading days immediately before the vesting date.

B = the Enero VWAP for the 20 trading days immediately before the date of issue of the Share Right.

Vested Share Rights will either be automatically exercised or exercised by the participant (at the discretion of the Board) and entitle the participant to receive a number of Shares (or a fraction of a Share) calculated in accordance with the conversion rate or formula notified by the Board to the Eligible Employee at the time the offer to that Eligible Employee was made in respect of that Share Right.

Rights and disposal restrictions attaching to Share Rights

The Share Rights are personal to each holder and may not be disposed of, encumbered or exercised by another person other than with the consent of the Board, as part of a sale of the Company or in the case of a transfer to a personal legal representative of a holder. If there is a reorganisation of capital of the Company then the rights of a holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable Listing Rules.

The holders of Share Rights will not be entitled to participate in any new issues in shares to existing shareholders of the Company unless they acquire the underlying shares prior to the record date for determination of entitlements to the new issue of securities.

The Share Rights do not entitle the holder to vote at a meeting of shareholders of the Company or to receive a share of any dividend declared by the Company. Shares issued on exercise of Share Rights will not be subject to dealing restrictions unless the Company’s Board specifically sets out such restrictions in the initial offer of Share Rights to an Eligible Employee.

Quotation

Share Rights will not be quoted on the ASX. The Company will apply for official quotation of any Shares issued under the SAR Plan in accordance with the Listing Rules and having regard to any disposal restrictions in place under the SAR Plan.

If the result is greater than zero, the Share Rights in the tranche will vest.

05

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Enero Group Limited

Lapse of Share Rights

Unless the Board determines otherwise, all unvested Share Rights will immediately lapse if:

  • a. any applicable performance conditions have not been met or reached during the performance period;

  • b. the participant resigns from their employment;

  • c. the participant’s employing entity ceases to be a subsidiary of the Company (and that participant is not employed by another Group company within 28 days of such cessation); or

  • d. the occurrence of any other circumstances determined by the Board as a circumstance that will cause an unvested Share Right to lapse.

Unless the Board determines otherwise, all vested and unvested Share Rights will immediately lapse if:

  • a. the participant’s employment is terminated for a reason which entitles the Company to terminate without notice;

  • b. the Board determines that the participant has acted fraudulently, committed a gross misconduct in breach of their obligations to the Company or done any act which brings the Company into disrepute;

  • c. the Eligible Employee has nominated a person to participate in the plan as a Controlled Entity, and that person ceases to remain a person within the meaning of a Controlled Entity;

  • d. the participant has a judgement entered against them in any civil or criminal proceedings;

  • e. it is necessary that the Share Right lapse having regard to any applicable law, the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations or any other principle, recommendation or policy of ASX or ASIC relating to executive remuneration or policy relating to ‘clawback’, or disclosure of the ‘clawback’, of executive remuneration where financial statements are materially misstated or where the remuneration is erroneously earned; or

  • f. the occurrence of any other circumstance determined by the Board as a circumstance that will cause a vested Share Right to lapse.

Trading restrictions

Participants must not sell, transfer, encumber, hedge or otherwise deal with the Share Rights.

Shares allocated to participants following the exercise of Share Rights are subject to the Company’s policies including the Securities Trading Policy when dealing with Shares.

Change of Control

Where a Change of Control event occurs in relation to the Company, the Board may, in its absolute discretion, determinate that all or part of the Participant’s unvested Share Rights will become vested even though any applicable vesting date may not have been reached or any applicable performance conditions may not have been satisfied within any applicable performance period (and in making such a determination, the Board will have regard to the proportion of the performance period which has elapsed and the extent to which any applicable performance conditions have been satisfied).

Amendments

The Board may, in its absolute discretion, amend the SAR Plan rules, or waive or modify the application of the SAR Plan rules in relation to a participant, provided that (except in specified circumstances) if such amendment would adversely affect the rights of participants in respect of any awards then held by them, the Board must obtain the consent of participants who hold not less than 75% of the total number of those held by all those participants before making the amendment.

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Resolution 5 – Allocation of Share Appreciation Rights to a Director under the Enero Share Appreciation Rights Plan

Matthew Melhuish was appointed Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of the Company on 16 January 2012. Matthew Melhuish’s remuneration is comprised of the following elements:

  1. Fixed remuneration – base salary together with statutory superannuation contributions;

  2. Short-term incentive ( STI ) –

  3. determined annually by the Board subject to achievement of targets for annual Net Revenue and Operating EBITDA. The STI is capped at 70% of Fixed Remuneration; and

  4. Long-term incentive ( LTI ) –

  5. participation in the Company’s Share Appreciation Rights Plan ( SAR Plan ).

Why is shareholder approval being sought?

Under Listing Rule 10.14, shareholder approval is required in order for a Director to be issued securities under an employee incentive scheme. If shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14, shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1, and the issue of such Share Rights to Matthew Melhuish will not count towards the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, approval is sought for the issue to Matthew Melhuish of new Share Rights under the terms of the SAR Plan. The Company has determined that the issue of Share Rights under the SAR Plan pursuant to Resolution 5 as part of Matthew Melhuish’s remuneration package will constitute the giving of reasonable remuneration for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15, an overview of the key terms of the proposed issue to Matthew Melhuish is detailed below. This grant is conditional on receiving shareholder approval.

Key terms of the Share Rights grant to Matthew Melhuish

Details of the proposed issue

The proposed issue of Share Rights to Matthew Melhuish is for 1,000,000 Share Rights to be issued under the SAR Plan in three tranches, as follows:

  • 333,333 Share Rights with a vesting date of 20 business days after the release to ASX of the Company’s preliminary financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018;

  • 333,333 Share Rights with a vesting date of 20 business days after the release to ASX of the Company’s preliminary financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2019; and

06

  • 333,334 Share Rights with a vesting date of 20 business days after the release to ASX of the Company’s preliminary financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020.

The issue represents the long-term incentive component of Matthew Melhuish’s remuneration package.

Price payable on issue or Exercise

No payment will be required in relation to the issue and allotment of the Share Rights or on the exercise or vesting of the Share Rights.

The Company will not raise any funds from the issue of the Share Rights.

Date of issue

If shareholder approval is obtained, the issue of the Share Rights to Matthew Melhuish will be made shortly after the meeting and in any case no later than twelve months from the date of the meeting.

Exercise and issue

The exercise of each Share Right will entitle Matthew Melhuish to receive a fraction of a Share based on a conversion formula of:

Share entitlement ( E ) = A – B A

Where:

A = the volume weighted average price of Shares as listed on the ASX ( Enero VWAP ) for the 20 trading days immediately before the vesting date.

B = the Enero VWAP for the 20 trading days immediately before the date of issue of the Share Right.

If A – B is less than or equal to zero, the Share Right will not vest and will immediately lapse on the applicable vesting date.

The total number of Shares received upon any conversion of Share Rights will be the number of Share Rights converted multiplied by E, with the result rounded up to the nearest whole number.

The maximum number of Shares which Matthew Melhuish may acquire as a result of the Share Rights the subject of the grant vesting is 1,000,000 Shares.

Cessation of employment

All unvested Share Rights will immediately lapse where Matthew Melhuish ceases employment in the event of resignation, termination for cause or other circumstances in which the Board determines that such treatment is warranted.

All Vested Share Rights held by Matthew Melhuish will immediately lapse where Matthew Melhuish ceases employment in the event of termination for cause or any other circumstances in which the Board determines that such treatment is warranted.

Change of Control

Where a Change of Control event occurs in relation to the Company, the Enero Board may, in its absolute discretion, determinate that all or part of Mr Melhuish’s unvested Share Rights will become vested even though any applicable vesting date may not have been reached or any applicable performance conditions may not have been satisfied within any applicable performance period (and in making such a determination, the Enero Board will have regard to the proportion of the performance period which has elapsed and the extent to which any applicable performance conditions have been satisfied).

Other information required by Listing Rule 10.15

Mr Melhuish is currently the only Director of the Company entitled to participate in the SAR Plan. Any additional person for whom shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.14 who may become entitled to participate in the SAR Plan must not participate in the plan until approval is obtained in accordance with Listing Rule 10.14.

Matthew Melhuish was previously granted the following Share Rights:
