CMI LIMITED NoTICE of ANNuAL GENErAL MEETING 2009
Chairman’s Letter
CMI LIMIted ABN 98 050 542 553
27 october 2009
Dear Shareholder
Annual General Meeting
This booklet contains notice of CMI Limited’s 2009 annual general meeting.
This last year has been difficult for most companies. The collapse in Australian and global financial markets has impacted nearly every sector of the economy. The result for CMI has been weakness in the markets for the sales of products in Electrical and in TJM which has affected trading and profitability for the two divisions.
This year has also seen the completion of the disposal of the finance division.
As we reviewed TJM, it became clear that the cost base for the manufacturing operations needed to be reorganised in order to compete effectively in the future. As a result, manufactured products are sourced directly from suppliers both in China and in Thailand. We believe that TJM now has an effective cost base for its products and while it will take a period of time to properly establish supply lines and quality control, we believe that TJM is now able to position itself, with an expanded range of products, for increased sales both in Australia and overseas.
The Electrical business has substantial sales into both mining and construction. Both sectors have suffered in the last year and Electrical sales have been affected. However, we believe that with the recovery of those sectors, Electrical will also recover and will regain its previous sales and profitability. The business will seek expansion opportunities in product and in markets.
While the year has been difficult, and the Company has reviewed the balance sheet to ensure that we are carrying assets at realistic values, we believe that CMI is now positioned for a solid period of performance.
I look forward to welcoming you at the Company’s annual general meeting and thank you for your continuing support as a CMI Limited shareholder.
yours faithfully
Colin Ryan
Chairman CMI Limited

Explanatory Memorandum
CMI LIMIted ABN 98 050 542 553
3 Resolutions 3 & 4 – Change of auditor
-
3.1 Deloite Touche Tohmatsu have been engaged as the Company’s auditor since 1991. The Directors believe this is an appropriate length of time to retain an auditor and therefore consider a change in auditor appropriate.
-
3.2 Subject to approval by Shareholders, the appointment of Ernst and young at the AGM will be effective for the 2009/2010 financial year. Deloite Touche Tohmutsu remained responsible for the completion of the audit for the 2008/2009 financial year. If Ernst and young are appointed as auditor, arrangements are in place between the Company, Ernst and young and Deloite Touche Tohmutsu to ensure a smooth transition.
-
3.3 Ernst and young has consented in writing to act as the auditor of the Company as required by section 328A of the Corporations Act. As required by section 328B(3) Corporations Act, a copy of the form for the nomination of Ernst & young as the Company’s auditors is attached as Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum.
-
3.4 Resolutions 3 and 4 are necessary for the change of auditor to be made.
-
3.5 The Directors recommend you vote in favour of resolutions 3 and 4.
4 Resolutions 5 to 8 – issue of Shares under the Shortfall Facility to related parties
-
4.1 As explained in the Company’s notice of extraordinary general meeting ( EGM ) (the EGM is to be held on 20 November 2009), the Company intends to undertake a Rights Issue to raise approximately $4.1 million and satisfy its obligations to reduce the Loan Facility by $4 million on or before the end of February.
-
4.2 It is intended that the Rights Issue will be non-renounceable and Shareholders will be entitled to subscribe for 0.29 ordinary Shares for each ordinary Share held, at an issue price of $0.42 per Share.
-
4.3 The Rights Issue will be fully underwritten in accordance with the underwriting Agreement. Further details regarding the Rights Issue will be released by the Company once known.
-
4.4 It is anticipated that the Shares issued under the Rights Issue will be quoted on ASx by the end of February 2010.
-
4.5 Subject to obtaining the approvals detailed in sections 4.6 and 4.7 of this Explanatory Memorandum, the Company intends to provide a Shortfall Facility for those Shareholders wishing to take up more than their entitlement under the Rights Issue. The Company will allocate Shares under the Shortfall Facility on a pro rata basis until all applications for Shares are exhausted.
-
4.6 unlike the Rights Issue, Shares issued under the Shortfall Facility will not be exempt from the takeover provisions of the Corporations Act unless relief is obtained from ASIC. In order to enable all Shareholders to participate in the Shortfall Facility on a pro rata basis, the Company will apply to ASIC for relief in accordance with ASIC Regulatory Guide [199] which sets out ASIC’s policy guidelines for obtaining case-by-case relief for certain shortfall facilities from the takeover provisions.
-
4.7 ASx Listing Rule 10.11 requires Shareholder approval for any issue of Shares to a related party which includes Directors. In order for Directors of the Company (or their nominees) to participate equally with the Shareholders in the Shortfall Facility, the Company is seeking approval under Listing Rule 10.11 for this participation.
-
4.8 ASx Listing Rule 10.13 requires Shares to be issued within one month of Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11. Given the timing requirements involved in undertaking the Rights Issue and the Shortfall Facility it is not possible to issue the shares under the Shortfall Facility within one month, accordingly, the Company has applied to ASx for a waiver of this requirement.
-
4.9 If ASIC does not grant the requested relief (as detailed in section 4.6), if ASx does not provide the requested waiver (as detailed in section 4.8), or if the participation of Directors in the Shortfall Facility is not approved by Shareholders under Resolutions 5 to 8, the Company will not operate the Shortfall Facility and the maximum number of Shares Shareholders will be able to take up under the Rights Issue will be their pro rata entitlement.
-
4.10 The Company will make an announcement as soon as it receives ASIC’s decision in relation to the relief application, and also ASx’s decision in respect of the Listing Rule 10.13 waiver application.
-
4.11 Any Shares not taken up under the Rights Issue and Shortfall Facility (if it proceeds) will be subscribed for by the underwriter pursuant to the terms of the underwriting Agreement.
CMI LIMITED NoTICE of ANNuAL GENErAL MEETING 2009

Information required by AsX Listing rule 10.13
-
4.12 The Company is required to give shareholders the following information in relation to Resolutions 5 to 8:
-
(a) the people that might receive Shares if they participate in the Shortfall Facility are Colin Ryan, Raymond Catelan, Richard Catelan and Danny Herceg and their associates;
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares any person could receive is 9,788,264 Shares being the total allocation of Shares under the Rights Issue assuming no other Shareholder took up their entitlement;
-
(c) if any of the Directors (or their associates) obtain Shares by participating in the Shortfall Facility, those Shares will be issued at the same time that other shareholders receive their shares. The Company has applied to ASx for a waiver of the ASx listing rules to allow all shares to be issued at the same time;
-
(d) the issue price of the Shares issued to the Directors (if the resolutions are passed) will be $0.42 per Share; and
-
(e) any funds raised from Directors (or their associates) who participate in the Shortfall Facility will be used to reduce the Loan Facility described in section 4.1.
-
4.13 The Directors’ current holdings in CMI are as follows:
