Resolution 4

Grant of Performance Rights to Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director Mr Andrew Hansen

Background

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the grant of Performance Rights to Mr Andrew Hansen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director, as part of his overall remuneration in terms of a Long-Term Incentive Plan for the financial year ending 30 June 2023. The Performance Rights which are the subject of this Resolution 4 will be issued pursuant to the Hansen Technologies Limited Incentive Performance Rights Plan (“Performance Rights Plan”) which was approved by Shareholders at the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting held on 26 November 2020 (and which was recently amended by the Board following amendments to the Corporations Act) and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in these Explanatory Notes. Shareholder approval for the amended Performance Rights Plan for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) is also sought under Resolution 6.

The grant of Performance Rights is considered an appropriate remuneration strategy to align the interests of Mr Andrew Hansen and the Company having regard to the Company’s strategic plan focusing on optimising performance, with the benefits of the remuneration strategy flowing through to enhanced Shareholder returns.

Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that the approval of an entity’s shareholders is required before certain persons, including a director of the entity can be issued securities under an employee incentive scheme. Mr Hansen is a director for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 and accordingly, Shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Hansen.

Terms of Performance Rights

The Company proposes to issue 94,476 Performance Rights to Mr Hansen (being rights equal to the value of 50% of his total fixed remuneration), which will vest if the targeted performance measures are achieved. Mr Hansen also has the additional opportunity for a further 47,238 Performance Rights to vest to reward overachievement of targets. Therefore, the total number of Performance Rights to be issued under this Resolution 4 is 141,714. This number was set by the Board in the context of considering Mr Hansen’s overall remuneration package, of which the Performance Rights form a part.

The Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Hansen will be on terms consistent with the rules of the Performance Rights Plan. A summary of the terms and conditions of the Performance Rights Plan is contained in Schedule 2 to the Explanatory Notes and a full copy is available to Shareholders from the Company on request.

5

Pursuant to the terms of the Performance Rights Plan, no consideration is payable by Mr Hansen at the time of the issue of the Performance Rights or upon the allocation of Shares to which Mr Hansen may become entitled upon any Performance Rights vesting. Each Performance Right will entitle Mr Hansen to one Share in the capital of the Company, subject to satisfaction of the vesting conditions applicable to that Performance Right.

Vesting Conditions of the Performance Rights

The Performance Rights the subject of this Resolution 4 will vest and convert into Shares if, over the measurement period (being 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025) (“ PRP Measurement Period ”), the performance measures set out below are achieved.

Ranked Total Shareholder Return (TSR)

TSR over the measurement period is positive and Hansen ranks at the 50[th] percentile or greater when compared to all members of the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index.

  • a. At 50%, 47,238 Performance Rights will vest.

  • b. From 51% to 75% an overachievement will be awarded on a linear basis with the maximum award of an additional 23,619 Performance Rights vesting at a 75% ranking.

TSR (total shareholder return) is calculated over the Measurement Period as:

TSR = (Priceend – Pricebegin + Dividends) / Pricebegin , where

Priceend = share price at the end of the Measurement period Pricebegin = share price at the start of the Measurement period, and Dividends = dividends paid over the Measurement period

The Company's share price at the start and end of the Measurement Period will be the closing share price quoted on the ASX at 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2025, respectively.

The Company's TSR over the Measurement Period, as calculated above, will then be compared against the TSR of the comparative group (S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index) over the Measurement Period, to determine if the vesting conditions have been met.

Group Revenue Growth Measurement (GRGM)

A Compounded Growth Rate at or exceeding 11.6% is delivered over the measurement period calculated on consolidated Group Revenues.

  • a. At 11.6% the first right will vest up to a total of 47,238 Performance Rights vesting when a Compounded Growth rate of 12.1% is achieved.

  • b. Should the Compounded growth rate exceed 12.9% an overachievement will be awarded on a linear basis with 23,619 Performance Rights vesting when a Compounded Growth Rate level of 13.75% is achieved or exceeded.

The GRGM is calculated as follows:

Reported FY22 Revenue – $296,500,000 Reported FY25 Revenue – $422,165,039 CAGR Formula: (Ending revenue / Beginning revenue)^(1/number of years) – 1 CAGR Result: (422,165,039 / 296,5000) ^(⅓) – 1 = 12.5%

Continuing employment

Mr Hansen must remain in the employment of the Company until 1[st] July 2025 in order for any of the Performance Rights to vest.

Information required under Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4:

6

  • (a) The Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to Mr Hansen. Mr Hansen is an Executive Director of the Company.

  • (b) Up to 141,714 Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to Mr Hansen, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Performance Rights Plan.

  • (c) Mr Hansen’s current total remuneration package comprises a salary component of $974,985 a cash performance-based incentive of $389,994 and an Equity based incentive of $487,493. This is based on Mr. Hansen achieving 100% of the incentive. 30% of Mr Hansen’s cash based performance incentive is capped based on him achieving 100% of the measure with the remaining 70% increasing on a linear basis, to a maximum of 150% of incentive when the measurement criteria is exceeded by 10%. A maximum cash performance-based incentive of $526,492 could be paid. Mr Hansen’s Equity based incentive increases on a linear basis to a maximum of 150% when the measurement criteria is exceeded by 10%. The maximum Equity based incentive payable would be $731,239.

  • (d) Since the Performance Rights Plan was last approved by the Shareholders, 339,899 Performance Rights have been issued to Mr Hansen, all of which were granted for nil consideration pursuant to the terms of the Performance Rights Plan.

  • (e) A summary of the material terms of the Performance Rights and the Performance Rights Plan is set out in Schedule 2 to the Notice.

  • (f) The Company considers the granting of Performance Rights to be an appropriate remuneration strategy as it aligns the interests of Mr Hansen with those of the Company having regard to the Company’s overall strategic plan and benefits Shareholders as it focuses on optimising performance.

  • (g) The Company attributes a value of $5.16 to each Performance Right, and the basis for that value is Variable Weighted Average Price calculated on the last five trading days up to 30[th] June 2022.

  • (h) The Performance Rights are being issued for nil consideration as they form part of Mr Hansen’s overall remuneration package. No consideration is payable upon the allocation of Shares to which Mr Andrew Hansen may become entitled upon the Performance Rights vesting.

  • (i) No loans have been or are to be advanced to Mr Andrew Hansen in respect of the acquisition of the Performance Rights.

  • (j) The Performance Rights will be issued as soon as practical after approval is obtained from Shareholders at this Meeting (and in any event, will be issued no later than 3 years after the Shareholder approval is obtained).

  • (k) Details of any securities issued under the Performance Rights Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which those securities were issued, along with a statement that approval for the relevant issued was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

  • (l) Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Performance Rights Plan after this Resolution 4 is obtained and who were not named in this Notice will not participate in such issue until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14 for such participation

  • (m) A voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 4 is set out below.

7

If Shareholder Approval is not obtained

If Shareholder approval is not obtained for this Resolution 4, the Board intends to grant Mr Hansen additional cash remuneration in lieu of the Performance Rights, subject to the same vesting conditions being achieved.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

The proposed grant of Performance Rights under Resolution 4 to Mr Hansen involves giving a financial benefit to a Related Party for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a Related Party of the Company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

  • (b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

The Directors believe that the grant of Performance Rights is appropriate and reasonable in all circumstances, as part of the remuneration for Mr Hansen’s role as the Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director. Therefore, the Company considers that the grant of the Performance Rights comes within one of the exceptions to Chapter 2E, and Shareholder approval is not required for that purpose.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors (with the exception of Mr Hansen) recommend that Shareholders approve Resolution 4.

Voting Exclusion

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 4 by or on behalf of:

  • (a) a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.14.1, 10.14.2 or 10.14.3 who is eligible to participate in the Performance Rights Plan; or

  • (b) an associate of that person.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast in favour of Resolution 4 by:

  • (a) a person as a proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the Resolution; or

  • (b) the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with the direction given to the Chairman to vote on the Resolution as the Chairman decides; or

  • (c) a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • (i) the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the Resolution; and

  • (ii) the holder votes on the Resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

A member of the key management personnel or a closely related party of a member of key management personnel may not vote as a proxy on Resolution 4 if their appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote. However, this voting exclusion does not apply if the member of key management personnel is the Chairman of the Meeting acting as proxy and their appointment expressly authorises the Chairman of the

8

Meeting to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy, you are expressly authorising the Chairman to exercise the proxy on a Resolution that is directly connected with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel.

Resolution 5

Non-Executive Directors Remuneration

Background

Listing Rule 10.17 requires shareholders to approve the total aggregate remuneration that may be paid to the Company’s Non-Executive Directors and any increase in that total.

The Company’s Non-Executive Director fees are currently capped at an aggregate of $750,000 per annum as approved by the Shareholders at the November 2021 Annual General Meeting.

Resolution 5 seeks the Shareholders’ approval to increase the maximum aggregate amount of NonExecutive Directors’ fees by $30,000, from $750,000 per annum to $780,000 per annum. The reason for the proposed increase is to ensure that the total aggregate remuneration reflects market remuneration, to maintain the threshold in line with inflation and to allow for appointment of one additional director.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Board will lose the additional flexibility it is seeking to provide sufficient scope for possible Board appointments, succession planning and ongoing flexibility potentially impacting the Company’s ability to retain existing and/or attract new directors. Accordingly, if this resolution is not passed, the total aggregate remuneration for Non-Executive Directors will remain at $750,000 and the Board may need to reassess this strategy.

No securities have been issued to any Non-Executive Director of the Company under Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 with the approval of Shareholders within the last three years.

Voting Exclusion

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 5 by or on behalf of:

  • (a) a Director of the Company; and

  • (b) an associate of those persons.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast in favour of Resolution 5 by:

  • (a) a person as a proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the Resolution; or

  • (b) the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with the direction given to the Chairman to vote on the Resolution as the Chairman decides; or

  • (c) a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • (i) the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the Resolution; and

9

(ii) the holder votes on the Resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

Voting Prohibition

A member of the key management personnel or a closely related party of a member of key management personnel may not vote as a proxy on Resolution 5 if their appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote. However, this voting exclusion does not apply if the member of key management personnel is the Chairman of the Meeting acting as proxy and their appointment expressly authorises the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy, you are expressly authorising the Chairman to exercise the proxy on a Resolution that is directly connected with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel.

Resolution 6

Re-Approval of Performance Rights Plan

Background

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the readoption of the Performance Rights Plan, which was previously adopted by Shareholders on 26 November 2020 ( Prior Approval ).

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will continue to be able to issue Performance Rights under the Performance Rights Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years from the date of approval without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, any Performance Rights issued under the Performance Rights Plan must come within and will be counted towards the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (unless Shareholder approval for that issue is obtained).

Any future issues of Performance Rights under the Performance Rights Plan to a related party of the Company or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.

Listing Rule 7.1

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1, which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the employee incentive scheme, subject to the relevant notice of meeting including certain information.

Information Required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b))

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) requires the following information to be provided to Shareholders:

10

  • (a) A summary of the material terms of the Performance Rights Plan is set out in Schedule 2. Since the Performance Rights Plan was last approved by Shareholders, it has been amended to take into account the introduction of the Treasury Laws Amendments (Cost of Living Support and Other Measures) Act 2022 (Cth) which amends the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) in relation to employee incentive scheme which has effect from 1 October 2022.

  • (b) The number of securities issued under the Performance Rights Plan since the date of the Prior Approval is 830,607.

  • (c) The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Performance Rights Plan following approval of this Resolution 6 (should approval be obtained) is 8,000,000.

  • (d) A voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 6 is set out below.

Directors’ Recommendation

As the Directors of the Company are excluded from voting on this Resolution pursuant to the Listing Rules (being eligible to participate in the Performance Rights Plan), they make no recommendation to the Shareholders in respect of this Resolution 6.

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 6 by or on behalf of:

  • (a) a person who is eligible to participate in the Performance Rights Plan; or

  • (b) an associate of that person.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast in favour of Resolution 6 by:

  • (a) a person as a proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the Resolution; or

  • (b) the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with the direction given to the Chairman to vote on the Resolution as the Chairman decides; or

  • (c) a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • (i) the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the Resolution; and

  • (ii) the holder votes on the Resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

Voting Prohibition

A member of the key management personnel or a closely related party of a member of key management personnel may not vote as a proxy on Resolution 6 if their appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote. However, this voting exclusion does not apply if the member of key management personnel is the Chairman of the Meeting acting as proxy and their appointment expressly authorises the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy, you are expressly authorising the Chairman to exercise the proxy

11

on a Resolution that is directly connected with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel.

  • (i) an offer to a person situated at the time of receipt of the offer outside Australia;

  • (ii) an offer that did not need disclosure because of section 708 of the Corporations Act apart from section 708(15) of the Corporations Act;

  • (iii) an offer that did not require the giving of a product disclosure statement because of section 1012D of the Corporations Act; or

  • (iv) an offer made under a disclosure document,

must not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue.

  • (c) Invitations to Participate : Invitations to participate in the Performance Rights Plan shall contain the information set out in the Performance Rights Plan, including the number of Performance Rights being made available, vesting conditions, vesting period, the closing date for applications, and any restrictions on the Participant’s right to deal with the Shares upon vesting.

15

Participation in the Performance Rights Plan requires the completed application form to be returned within the time period specified in the invitation.

  • (d) Issue Price : The Board may determine from time to time, the price in respect of a Performance Right, which may be nil, by specifying the issue price in the invitation.

  • (e) Exercise Price : The Board has the discretion to determine the exercise price (which may be nil) payable by a Participant to acquire a Share by the exercise of a Performance Right by specifying the exercise price in the invitation.

  • (f) Performance Rights : when vested, each Performance Right entitles the Participant to subscribe for, and be issued with the number of Shares specified in the invitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board retains the discretion to decide that the exercise of a Performance Right will be satisfied by payment in cash to the Participant.

A Performance Right does not confer a Participant the right to participate in new issues of Shares. Performance Rights will not give any right to participate in dividends or any voting rights until Shares are issued upon the exercise of vested Performance Rights.

  • (g) Shares Issued Under the Plan : Shares issued under the Performance Rights Plan upon the vesting of Performance Rights will rank equally with all existing Shares on and from the date of issue in respect of all securities issues, rights issues, bonus share issues and dividends which have a record date for determining entitlements on or after the date of issue of those Shares. The Company must use all reasonable endeavour to obtain the grant of quotation of those Shares on ASX within 10 business days (or such period as may be required by ASIC or ASX).

  • (h) Vesting Conditions : Vesting conditions means the conditions which must be satisfied or waived within a vesting period before a Performance Right becomes vested. The Board will determine the vesting conditions that must be satisfied by a Participant before the Performance Right vests.

  • (i) Quotation : No application will be made for the quotation of any Performance Rights.

  • (j) Lapse of Performance Rights : A Performance Right will lapse on the earlier occurrence of:

  • (i) the Board determining that the Performance Rights will not vest due to assessment of the vesting conditions or for any other reason in the sole discretion of the Board;

  • (ii) a determination of the Board that the Participant has in the Board’s opinion:

    • been dismissed or removed from office for a reason which entitles a Group Company to dismiss the Participant without notice, or has committed any act of fraud, dishonesty or serious misconduct in relation to the affairs of that company (whether or not charged with an offence); or

    • done any act which brings the Group into disrepute;

  • (iii) the Participant ceasing to be an employee (other than due to the occurrence of total and permanent disablement, death, retirement, redundancy (“ Special Circumstances ”)); or

  • (iv) the Participant has elected to surrender the Performance Right due to a Special Circumstance.

  • (k) Reconstruction : If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, then the number of Performance Rights which each Participant has been granted must be reconstructed in a manner which will not result in any benefits being conferred on the Participants which are not conferred on Shareholders (subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as

16

sanctioned by the meeting of Shareholders approving the reconstruction of capital), but in all other respects, the terms of all Performance Rights will remain unchanged.

  • (l) Immediate Vesting : Participants will be entitled to make a request to the Board to determine that all existing Performance Rights vest immediately in the event:

  • (i) the Court sanctions a compromise or arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act, for the purposes of or in connection with, a scheme of reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies, which, if implemented, would result in a change in control of the Company; or

  • (ii) a takeover bid or other offer is made to acquire some or all of the issued Shares of the Company.

  • (m) Administration of the Performance Rights Plan: The Performance Rights Plan is administered by the Board in accordance with the rules in the Performance Rights Plan. The Board may delegate their powers under the Performance Rights Plan.

  • (n) Amendments to the Performance Rights Plan: The Board may amend the Performance Rights Plan at any time provided that such amendment does not materially reduce the rights of any Participant in respect of their Performance Rights held at the date of the amendment, or unless the amendment is introduced primarily:

  • (i) for the purpose of complying with or conforming to the provisions of applicable law;

  • (ii) to enable the Company to comply with the constitution of a Group company, the Listing Rules, policy or requirement of ASIC or other Australian regulatory body;

  • (iii) to correct any manifest error or mistake; and

  • (iv) to take into consideration possible adverse tax implications in respect of the Performance Rights Plan.

Termination or Suspension : The Board has the discretion to terminate or suspend the operation of the Performance Rights Plan but the termination or suspension must not prejudice the existing rights of the Participants.
