EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. Financial Statements

As required by the Corporations Act 2001, the Financial Statements of the Company and its controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2018 (including the Directors’ Report, Directors’ Declaration and Independent Auditor’s Report) will be laid before the meeting. There is no requirement for a formal resolution on this item.

Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask questions about or comment on the Financial Statements and the management of the Company. The auditor of the Company will also be available to answer any questions in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

2. Resolution 1 - Remuneration Report (Non-binding)

The Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2018 contains a Remuneration Report (refer to pages 8 to 11) which sets out the policy for the remuneration of Directors and specified executives.

Section 250R (2) of the Corporations Act 2001 requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report be put to the vote at the Company’s annual general meeting. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask questions about or comment on the Remuneration Report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report in reviewing the remuneration policies of the Company.

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.

Voting Restrictions

As required by the Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act), no member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel (as disclosed in the Remuneration Report), or a closely related party of any such member, may vote in any capacity (e.g. as a shareholder, proxy or corporate representative) on the proposed resolution in Item 2 unless:

  • the person votes as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the person is to vote on the proposed resolution in Item 2; and

  • the vote is not cast on behalf of any such member or closely related party of any such member.

Key Management Personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company.

The prohibition in the Corporations Act 2001 on members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel voting does not apply to the Chairman of the meeting as proxy for a member entitled to vote where the proxy appointed expressly authorises the Chairman to vote in that capacity on Item 2.

2. Resolution 1 - Remuneration Report (Non-binding) ( continued)

Undirected Proxies

If a member entitled to vote appoints the Chairman as their proxy and the member does not direct the Chairman how to vote on Item 2, the member authorises the Chairman in respect of that item to exercise the proxy notwithstanding that item is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel. Further details are contained on the Proxy Form distributed with the Notice of 2018 Annual General Meeting.

Where the Chairman is appointed as proxy for a member entitled to vote, the Chairman will vote all undirected proxies IN FAVOUR of all proposed resolutions, including Item 2. Accordingly, if you appoint the Chairman as your proxy and wish to vote differently to how the Chairman intends to vote on any of the items, you must mark “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the Proxy Form for the relevant item of business.

3. Resolution 2 - Re-election of Director

Mr. Nicholson has over 40 years’ experience in the food processing industry and has been a Director of the Company since it commenced trading on 2[nd] September 1986.

In accordance with Clause 11.3 of the Constitution, Mr. Nicholson retires at the 2018 Annual General Meeting but, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

The Directors (with Mr. Nicholson abstaining because of his interest) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution to re-elect Mr. Geoffrey W Nicholson as a Director of the Company.
