EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of a Notice of Meeting convening the Annual General Meeting (“the Meeting”) of shareholders of GLG Corp Ltd ("GLG" or the "Company") to be held on 12[th] November 2018 at 11:00 (AEDST) at Level 11, 1 Margaret Street, Sydney NSW 2000. This Memorandum is to be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting.

1. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

1.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s Annual General Meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the 2018 Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's 2019 Annual General Meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an [extraordinary] general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the [extraordinary] general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the Company's 2019 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2018 Directors' report was approved, other than the managing director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The remuneration report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2018.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

1.2 Proxy Restrictions

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint the Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or any Closely Related Party of that member 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 Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or Closely Related Party of that member 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 this Resolution 1.

The Board supports the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

GLG CORP LTD A.C.N 116 632 958

Resolution 3 – Re-appointment of Auditor

BDO East Coast Partnership was appointed by the Board as auditor with effect from 16[th] January, 2017. The Audit Committee has also noted that BDO is a registered auditor under section 1280 of the Corporations Act and is a well-established firm with the necessary expertise in auditing and resources to meet the Company’s requirements.

BDO East Coast Partnership did not provide any services to the Company prior to appointment, and the Company confirms that it is unaware of any matter or circumstance that would give rise to a ‘conflict of interest situation’, as defined in Section 324CD of the Corporations Act, in relation to the Company.

Our partnership with BDO over the past 12 months has given us the opportunity to form good ties with the organisation, and GLG has formed a good working relationship with BDO East Coast.

The Company proposes, and a shareholder has nominated that BDO East Coast Partnership be reappointed as auditor of the Company.
