EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Introduction.

The following information provides a detailed explanation on each resolution set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Financial Report.

The 2012 Annual Financial Report of EVZ Limited has been sent to shareholders who had previously requested a copy of the Financial Report. Shareholders can also view a copy of the Financial Report on the Company’s website. Shareholders will be given the opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions of the Board of Directors and the Auditor on matters contained in the Financial Report.

Resolution 1 – Re-election of a Director.

The Company’s Constitution requires one third of the directors (other than the Managing Director) to retire at each AGM, being those directors longest in office at the date of the AGM. Mr Burns must therefore retire and has offered himself for re-election.

Resolution 2 – Re-election of a Director.

The Company’s Constitution requires that any Director appointed by the Directors shall hold office only until the next following Annual General Meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible as a retiring Director for re-election.

Ms Murphy was appointed by the Directors on 28 September 2012 and has offered herself for re-election.

Resolution 3 – Remuneration Report

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act the Company is required to present to its shareholders the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2012 Annual Report.

The Remuneration Report explains the Board’s policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors and other Key Management Personnel and sets out the details of any share based compensation.

The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. Directors will however consider the outcome of the vote and any comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report when setting the Company's remuneration policy for future financial years.

Where at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the 2012 AGM, and then again at the 2013 AGM, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the 2013 AGM, to approve calling an extraordinary general meeting ( spill resolution ). If 50% or more of Shareholders vote in favour of the spill resolution, the Company must convene an extraordinary general meeting ( spill meeting ) within 90 days

4

of the 2013 AGM. All of the Directors who were in office when the 2013 Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will (if desired) need to stand for re-election at the spill meeting.

Voting

Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 3 as follows:

A vote on this Resolution must not be cast (in any capacity) by or on behalf of any of the following persons:

  • a) A member of the Key Management Personnel including Directors, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report; or

  • b) A Closely Related Party of such a member.

However, a person described above may vote on this Resolution if:

  1. The person does so as a proxy appointed in writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on this Resolution; or

  2. The person so appointed is the Chairperson and the appointment does not specify how the proxy is to vote on this Resolution but authorises the Chairperson to vote on this Resolution even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel; and

  3. The vote is not cast on behalf of a person described in sub-paragraphs (a) or (b) above.

In summary, the directors and other Restricted Voters may not vote on this Resolution and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chair and expressly authorises the Chair to exercise your proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

The Chair will use any such proxies to vote in favour of this Resolution.

Shareholders are urged to carefully read the proxy form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.
