Dear Shareholder,
The Directors of Transaction Solutions International (TSN or the Company) previously announced the Company was contemplating a transaction (the Transaction) with a significant Indian private equity group to fund and co-develop the Company’s ATM business. A definitive agreement subject to shareholder approval and other conditions precedent was finalised in April 2013. The Company’s shareholders approved the Transaction in May 2013.
The Directors of TSN are pleased to advise that all information required to meet the conditions precedent has now been provided by TSI Group and we await the final confirmation and settlement date. It is anticipated that the Transaction will close in the next few weeks. It has been a lengthy process with operational, corporate, tax, legal and regulatory requirements being completed within Australia, UK, India and Mauritius.
During the coming 12 months the management of TSN will be actively involved in the utilisation of the approximate $11 million to be made available to TSI India from Tranche 1 monies to accelerate the roll out of ATMs in India as well as reviewing expansion opportunities.
Post closure, the Directors are proposing to undertake a review of corporate overheads. Excluding India, an annualised reduction in remuneration to Key Management Personnel of 15% is anticipated; additionally a further US$150,000 per annum will be reimbursed to TSN for a portion of the services provided by TSN management to the Indian operations.
The review of corporate overheads (including India based Key Management Personnel) should result in a total reduction in the reported remuneration for Key Management Personnel of approx. 40% per annum. The proposed reduction would be derived from a combination of reduced remuneration and benefits to Australian employees and Directors, as well as TSI India senior management remuneration no longer being reported by TSN.
An announcement will be released to the ASX when the Transaction is formally completed.
All parties involved have been diligent in their assistance in bringing the Transaction to closure and we thank them for their support.
The Board of TSN would also like to take this opportunity to thank all shareholders for their ongoing support during the lengthy Transaction process.
Yours sincerely
Paul Boyatzis Chairman

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a 'proxy') to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.
2. Annual Financial Report
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2013 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.
In accordance with amendments to the Corporations Act the Company is no longer required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy.

3. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report of the Company for the year ending 31 March 2013 is set out in the director’s report of the Company’s annual financial report. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for executive and non-executive Directors and executive employees of the Company.
The Company announced during December 2012 that it was contemplating a transaction with a significant Indian private equity group to fund and co-develop the Company’s Indian ATM business. A definitive agreement subject to shareholder approval and other conditions precedent was finalised in April 2013. The Company’s shareholders approved the transaction in May 2013. Once all outstanding conditions are met and the transaction is completed, the Directors are proposing to undertake a review of corporate overheads. Excluding India, an annualised reduction in remuneration to KMP of 15% is anticipated; additionally a further US$150,000 per annum will be reimbursed to TSN for a portion of the services provided by the Company’s management to the Indian operations. The review of corporate overheads (including India based KMP) should result in a total reduction in the reported remuneration for KMP of approx. 40% per annum. The proposed reduction would be derived from a combination of reduced remuneration and benefits to Australian employees and Directors, as well as TSI India senior management remuneration no longer being reported by the Company.
A reasonable opportunity will be given for the discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting. Shareholders should note that the vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or the Directors.
Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a "Spill Resolution") that another general meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election. The Company encourages all Shareholders to cast their votes on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report).
Previous Voting Results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
Proxy Restrictions
Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint the Chair, or another member of the Key Management Personnel or any Closely Related Party as your proxy to vote on this Resolution 1, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote . Where you do not direct the Chair, or another member of the Key Management Personnel or Closely Related Party on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to Resolution 1.
If you appoint another person as your proxy you do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution, and you do not need to mark any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.
4. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director
The Constitution requires that one third of the Directors must retire at each annual general meeting (rounded down to the nearest whole number).
The Constitution provides that a Director who retires under these circumstances is eligible for re-election. Mr Paul Boyatzis will retire by rotation and seeks re-election accordingly.
Information about Mr Boyatzis is available in the 2013 annual financial report of the Company.

5. Resolution 3 – Approval for Additional Placement Capacity
5.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 permits entities to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval in a 12 month period, subject to a number of exceptions.
During 2012 the ASX amended the ASX Listing Rules to allow small to mid-cap companies to seek shareholder approval for additional placement capacity. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible entities, which have obtained shareholder approval by special resolution, to issue Equity Securities up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ("Additional Placement Capacity").
The Company seeks Shareholder approval under Resolution 3 to be able to issue Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued is not fixed and will be determined in accordance the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (set out below).
5.2 Requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Eligible entities
An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
(b) Shareholder approval
Shareholders must approve the Additional Placement Capacity by special resolution at the annual general meeting.
(c) Equity Securities
Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of Equity Securities of the Company that are quoted on ASX.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has only one class of Equity Securities quoted on ASX being fully paid ordinary Shares. The Company also has unquoted Options on issue.
(d) Formula for calculating number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after this Meeting, the number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(AxD)-E
| A | The number of fully paid shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement: plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2; plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months; plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4; less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months. |
|---|---|
| D | 10% |
| E | The number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4. |
7
(e) Interaction between ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
The Additional Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company has 1,780,062,679 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice. If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be permitted to issue (as at the date of this Notice):
-
267,009,401 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
178,006,267 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will be permitted to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue or agreement to issue the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out above).
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without using the Company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
5.3 Information for Shareholders as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
(a) Minimum price
The issue price of the new Equity Securities will be no lower than 75% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) for securities in the relevant quoted class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the price of the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b)
Risk of economic and voting dilution
If Resolution 3 is passed and the Company issues securities under the Additional Placement Facility, existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted. There is the risk that:
-
the market price for the Company's existing Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of issue of the new Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
the new Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price of the Company's existing Equity Securities on the issue date or the new Equity Securities may be issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the new Equity Securities.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.
8
The table also shows:
-
two examples where variable "A" has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example a pro rata entitlement issue) or future placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved by Shareholders in the future;
-
two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.
| Variable 'A' in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.15 cents 50% decrease in Issue Price |

This table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional Placement Capacity.
-
No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
The issue price is 0.3 cents, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 16 July 2013.
9
The Company's ability to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to its ability to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
(c)
Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the Additional Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from 30 August 2013 (the date of this Meeting) and expires on the earlier of:
-
30 August 2014, which is 12 months after this Meeting; or
-
the date that Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking) (the " Placement Period ").
The Company will only issue and allot new securities during the Placement Period. The approval will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders' approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.
(d) Purposes for which the new Equity Securities may be issued
The Company may seek to issue new Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
cash consideration to raise funds for the acquisition of new assets or investments (including the expenses associated such acquisition), continued expenditure on the Company's current assets and operations; or
-
non-cash consideration for acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
(e) Allocation policy
The Company's allocation policy for the issue of new Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity will depend on the market conditions existing at the time of the proposed issue. The allottees will be determined at the relevant time having regard to factors such as:
-
the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
the effect of the issue of new securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (as relevant).
As at the date of this Notice the allottees are not known but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders. No allottee under the Additional Placement Capacity will be a related party or associate of a related party. Existing Shareholders may or may not be entitled to subscribe for any Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity and it is possible that their shareholding will be diluted.
If the Additional Placement Capacity is used to acquire new assets or investments then it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of the new assets.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A on the issue of any new securities.
10
(f) Details of Equity Securities issued under earlier placement capacity approval
The Company has not previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
(g) Voting exclusion
At the date of this Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in a proposed issue of Equity Securities under the proposed Additional Placement Capacity. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
6. Enquiries
Shareholders may contact the Company Secretary, Phil MacLeod on (+ 61 8) 6500 0226 if they have any queries in respect of the matters set out in these documents.
7. Voting and Proxies
A Shareholder of the Company entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy must be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the Shareholder's voting rights. If the Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.
Where a voting exclusion applies, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by the person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the directions on the proxy form or it is cast by the person chairing the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
The chairman of the Meeting will vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of, all of the proposed Resolutions (including Resolution 1 (Adoption of Remuneration Report)). In relation to Resolution 1, the proxy form expressly authorises the chairman of the Meeting to exercise the proxy even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel. Key management personnel of the Company are the Directors and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Company’s key management personnel for the financial year 31 March 2013. Their closely related parties are defined in the Corporations Act, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.
In accordance with Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Act, the Directors have set a date to determine the identity of those entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting. The date is 28 August 2013 at 5:00pm (Western Standard Time).
