How to vote
Shareholders can vote by either:

attending the Meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate Shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or
-
appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the proxy form accompanying this Notice of Meeting or by submitting their proxy appointment and voting instructions by person, post, courier or facsimile.
Voting in person (or by attorney)
Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's Share register and attendances recorded. A properly executed original (or certified copy) of an appropriate power of attorney under which an attorney has been authorised to attend and vote at the Meeting must be received by the Company’s share registry by 11.00am (AWST) on 20 November 2018 (48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting) in the same manner as outlined for proxy forms below to be effective.
Voting by a Corporation
A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence of their appointment, including any authority under which it is signed unless previously given to the Company's Share Registry.
Voting by proxy
-
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.
-
The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).
-
A proxy need not be a Shareholder.
-
The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.
-
If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit.
-
Should any resolution, other than those specified in this Notice, be proposed at the
meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolution as they think fit.
-
If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the Shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.
-
Shareholders who return their proxy forms with a direction how to vote but do not nominate the identity of their proxy will be taken to have appointed the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a proxy form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the Meeting, the Chairman of the Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions. Proxy appointments in favour of the Chairman of the Meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used where possible to support each of the resolutions proposed in this Notice.

To be effective, proxies must be received by 11:00am (AWST) on 20 November 2018. Proxies received after this time will be invalid.

GR Engineering Services Ltd ABN 12 121 542 738
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of GR Engineering Services Limited (" GR Engineering " or the " Company ").
FINANCIAL REPORTS
The first item of the Notice deals with the presentation of the consolidated annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 together with the Directors' declaration and report in relation to that financial year and the auditor's report on those financial statements. Shareholders should consider these documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered.
No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the accounts and on the business, operations and management of the Company.
The Chairman will also provide Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor questions relevant to:
-
the conduct of the audit;
-
the preparation and content of the independent audit report;
-
the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of accounts; and
-
the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
The Chair will also allow a reasonable opportunity for the Auditor or their representative to answer any written questions submitted to the Auditor under section 250PA of the Corporations Act.
RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2018 Annual Report be adopted.
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report and is also available on the Company’s website (www.gres.com.au).
The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the second annual general meeting ( Spill Resolution ), to approve calling a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must then convene a Spill Meeting within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the applicable Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors.
The Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 did not receive a vote of more than 25% against its adoption at the Company’s last general meeting held on 14 November 2017. Accordingly, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against adoption of the Remuneration Report it will not result in the Company putting a Spill Resolution to Shareholders. However, a Spill Resolution will be required if the Remuneration Report at the 2019 annual general meeting receives a vote of more than 25% against its adoption.
The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors, sets out remuneration details for each Director and any service agreements and sets out the details of any equity based compensation.
The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.
Voting
Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice. In particular, 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 the Resolution.
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to put to its Shareholders a resolution that the
1
Shareholders are urged to carefully read the proxy form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.
RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF PETER HOOD AS A DIRECTOR
Clause 13.2 of the Constitution provides that at every annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors (excluding any alternate Directors and the Managing Director), or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then such number as is appropriate to ensure no Director holds office for more than 3 years, shall retire from office. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election.
Pursuant to Clause 13.2 of the Company's Constitution, Mr Peter Hood retires by way of rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant Annual General Meeting:
- (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
Mr Hood joined the Board in 2011. Peter is a Chemical Engineer and has over 40 years’ experience in the resource and energy sectors.

support the re-election of Mr Hood and recommend shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF TERRENCE STRAPP AS A DIRECTOR
Clause 13.2 of the Constitution provides that at every annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors (excluding any alternate Directors and the Managing Director), or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then such number as is appropriate to ensure no Director holds office for more than 3 years, shall retire from office. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election.
Pursuant to Clause 13.2 of the Company's Constitution, Mr Terrence Strapp retires by way of rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.
Mr Strapp joined the Board in 2011. He has extensive experience in banking, finance and corporate risk management and has over 30 years’ experience in the mining and resource industry. Terry was formerly a non-executive director of The Mac Services Group Limited. Terry is a non-executive director of Ausdrill Limited.
- (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300 million.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and had a market capitalisation at the close of business on 11 October 2018 of $218 million, based on a share price of $1.42.
The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Equity Securities must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has only one class of Equity Securities on issue, being fully paid ordinary shares.
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(a) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(c) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and
-
(d) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
D is 10%.
The Directors (other than Mr Strapp):
2
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under 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 holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1.
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 4:
(a) Minimum price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed ( Agreed Issue Date ); or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the Agreed Issue Date, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) Date of issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of this Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).
(c) Risk of dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the voting interests and may dilute the economic interests of Shareholders who do not receive Equity Securities under the issue.
The table below seeks to demonstrate the potential dilution of existing Shareholders resulting from the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity calculated in accordance with the formula contained in Listing Rule 7.1A(2). The table does this by setting out the potential number of Shares issued and funds raised on the basis of:
-
(i) the current number of Shares on issue;
-
(ii) the number of Shares on issue changing (variable ‘A’ in the formula); and
-
(iii) a variation in the issue price of the Shares (noting that Shares may only be issued at up to a 25% discount based on the volume weighted average price of the Shares calculated over the 15 ASX trading days preceding the issue).

Table 1: Voting Dilution
- The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that does not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue) or an issue of Shares with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Table 1 adopts the following assumptions:
-
1 The current number of Shares on issue is the Shares on issue as at 11 October 2018.
-
2 The current issue price is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 11 October 2018.
-
3 The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
4 The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
5 This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the mark et price for those Shares on the date of issue.
-
(d) Purpose of issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for following purposes:
-
(i) If Equity Securities are issued for cash consideration, to raise capital for future projects, to pursue growth opportunities, continued expenditure on the Company’s current assets and for general working capital; and
-
(ii) if Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration, as scrip consideration for the acquisition of assets. The Company will comply with the minimum issue price limitation under
3
Listing Rule 7.1A.3 in relation to such issue and will release the valuation of the non-cash consideration to the market.
- (e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity
The allottees of any issue of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the allottees at the time of any issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
- (i) the purpose of the issue;
