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 2021 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 – NON-BINDING RESOLUTION TO ADOPT REMUNERATION REPORT
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to put to its Shareholders a resolution that the remuneration report as disclosed in the Company's 2021 Annual Report be adopted.
The remuneration report is set out in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report and is also available on the Company’s website (www.gres.com.au).
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 2020 did not receive a vote of more than 25% against its adoption at the Company’s last general meeting held on 25 November 2020. 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 2022 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.
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 AO 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.
The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
1
Peter Hood AO is a qualified Chemical Engineer with over 50 years experience in senior management and project development in the mining, oil and gas, and chemical industries. Peter was previously the CEO of Coogee Resources Ltd, a company involved in the exploration and production of oil and gas in the Timor Sea. Prior to this he was the CEO of Coogee Chemicals Pty Ltd where he oversaw a period of significant growth in the company’s market capitalisation. Peter is currently a Non-Executive Chairman of Matrix Composites & Engineering Ltd, a Non-Executive Director of De Grey Mining Ltd and Cue Energy Resources Ltd and Chairman of MAK Industrial Water Systems Pty Ltd. Previously, he was the President of the Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the Western Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry and also Chairman of the International Chamber of Commerce & Industry of Australia. He was also Chairman of Apollo Gas Ltd and Vice-Chairman of the Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association (APPEA).
In the Australia Day 2020 honours list Mr Hood received an Officer (AO) of the Order of Australia. The citation associated with the award was “For distinguished service to business and commerce at the state, national and international level and to the resources sector”.
The Directors consider that Mr Hood, if re-elected, will continue to qualify as an independent Director and support the re-election of Mr Hood and recommend shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
RESOLUTION 3 – ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
Listing Rule 7.1A enables an Eligible Entity to seek approval by special resolution at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period of up to 12 months after the annual general meeting, in addition to those under the 15% annual placement capacity ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
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
-
(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 18 October 2021 of $290 million based on a share price of $1.80.
The effect of Resolution 3 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 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%.
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.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to a combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in 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 3:
- (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 by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities ( 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 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 7.1A mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
- (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
2
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the 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 uses the following assumptions:
-
(i) The current number of Shares on issue is the Shares on issue as at 18 October 2021.
-
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(vi) the market price for the Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(vii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market 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 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.
- (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;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (as applicable).
-
(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting on 25 November 2020.
In the 12 months preceding the date of the meeting, the Company has not issued or agreed to issue any securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
-
(ii) The current issue price is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 18 October 2021.
-
(iii) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
(iv) 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.
-
(v) This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1.
