Determination of Membership and Voting Entitlement for the Purpose of the Meeting
For the purpose of determining a person’s entitlement to attend and vote at the Meeting, a person will be recognised as a Shareholder if that person is registered as a holder of Shares at 7.00 p.m. AEST on 27 May, 2019 . The Board has determined that the Shares on issue at that time will be taken, for the purposes of the Meeting, to be duly held by the person or persons who are registered as the holder or holders of those Shares in the Share Registry, at that time. Accordingly, transfers of Shares registered after that time and date will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.
Proxies
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting pursuant to the Constitution, is entitled to appoint one or more proxies (provided that more than one proxy is not appointed to exercise the rights attached to a particular Share held by the Shareholder). Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specific proportion of the Shareholder’s voting rights. If the member appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.
A proxy need not be a Shareholder.
Any instrument of proxy deposited or received by the Company in which the name of the appointee is not filled in shall be deemed to be given in the favour of the Chair.
The instrument appointing a proxy, as well as any power of attorney (or a certified copy thereof) under which a proxy is appointed, must be received by the Company or the Share Registry by no later than 9.30 a.m. (AEST) on 27 May, 2019, in accordance with the instructions provided on the front of the Proxy Form.
The instrument of appointment of a proxy must be executed by the appointor or its duly authorised representative. The Proxy Form which accompanies this Notice may be used to appoint a proxy for the purposes of the Meeting.
Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that:

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
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 company or 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 a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
If, at two consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote, then that company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ). If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the date of the convening of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) 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 of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

5. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
5.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below and in the Glossary) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an
11
HMD_Notice of Annual General Meeting_20180423 (Final)
annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined in the Glossary) equal to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
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 $300,000,000.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $19.3m (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 18 April 2019).
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of Equity Securities as quoted by ASX.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: HMD).
If Shareholders approve Resolution 7, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
Resolution 7 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 7 for it to be passed.
5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 7:
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity 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 of Equity Security were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued, is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in Section 5.2(a)(i), 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 the Meeting and expiring no later than the first to occur of the following:
12
HMD_Notice of Annual General Meeting_20180423 (Final)
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii)
-
the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking), after which date, an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid,
( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).
(c) Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 7 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would, based on the assumptions stated in the Notes to the Table below, be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 18 April 2019.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

| Funds raised | $1,925,634 | $3,851,268 | $5,776,903 |
Notes:
(a) The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(b) The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
(i) There are currently 87,528,841 Shares on issue.
-
(ii) The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 18 April 2019.
(iii) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
- (iv) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
(v) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
- (vi) 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.
(vii) This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(viii)
-
(ix)
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
14
HMD_Notice of Annual General Meeting_20180423 (Final)
under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
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 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 the following purposes:
-
(i) to procure cash subscriptions in which case the Company intends to use funds raised to intensify and pursue its stated intention to separate the individual business units within the Company according to its six main and autonomous businesses; or

(ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of additional assets, as yet not identified, that are complimentary to the Company’s existing business.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(4) and 3. ASX Listing Rule 10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(e)
Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients 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 recipients at the time of the 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 (if applicable).

HMD_Notice of Annual General Meeting_20180423 (Final)
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be a vendor of the new resources, assets or investments, or associates of such vendor.
(f) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX:
- (i) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
(ii) the information required by ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.
5.3 Board recommendation
The Board supports the establishment of the 10% Placement Capacity on the terms stated in this Section 4 and recommends that all Shareholders cast all their votes in favour of Resolution 7.
5.4 Voting Prohibition Statement
A voting prohibition statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 7.
Resolution 7 represents the first time that the Company has sought Shareholder approval under the provisions of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
6 RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF HERAMED EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN RULES
On 16 April 2019, the Board established an employee incentive scheme called the “HeraMED Limited Employee Incentive Plan” ( Plan ). Shareholder approval of the Plan is being sought for all purposes under the ASX Listing Rules, including ASX listing rule 7.2 (Exception 9), so that any equity securities issued in accordance with the Plan will be excluded from the calculation of the maximum number of new equity securities that can be issued by the Company in any 12 month period (currently 15% of equity securities previously on issue), for a period of three years from the date of Shareholder approval.
A copy of the terms and conditions of the HeraMED Limited Employee Incentive Plan Rules can be obtained from the Company free of charge.
The Plan is an employee equity plan developed to meet what the Board feels are contemporary corporate equity participation design standards and to provide the required flexibility in the design and offer of choices available in respect of various new equity schemes.
Below is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Plan.
• Eligibility
The Board has discretion to determine which employees are eligible to participate in the Plan. The definition of employee under the rules of the Plan
16
HMD_Notice of Annual General Meeting_20180423 (Final)
includes full time or part time executive, director, senior manager, employee and other party who are close business associates of the Company or any related body corporate of the Company.
• Vesting conditions
The vesting of any equity securities issued under the Plan may be conditional on the satisfaction of performance and/or service conditions as determined by the Board and advised to the participant in the individual’s offer documents.
• Exercise of equity securities
Vested equity securities issued under the Plan may not automatically trigger the exercise of the equity securities, but a participant will be entitled to exercise its equity securities in accordance with the terms contained in the invitation to that participant.
• Price
Equity securities issued under the Plan may be issued at no cost to the participants. Options may be subject to payment of an exercise price by the participant which is determined by the Board and advised to the participant in the participant’s offer.
• Lapse/forfeiture
Equity securities issued under the Plan will lapse or be forfeited on the earliest of:
-
any expiry date applicable to the equity securities;
-
any date which the Board determines that vesting conditions applicable to the equity securities are not met or cannot be met;
-
the participant dealing in respect of the equity securities in contravention of the Plan; and
-
the Board determining that a participant has committed an act of fraud, is ineligible to hold his or her relevant office under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, or is found to have acted in a manner that the Board considers to constitute gross misconduct.
• Board may elect to settle in cash
If the Board determines that it is not appropriate for tax, legal, regulatory or compliance reasons to issue or transfer Shares upon satisfaction of its obligations under the Plan, the Company may make a cash payment to the participant in accordance with the terms of the plan for equivalent value.
• Waiving the restricted period
The Board may waive or shorten the restriction period applicable to equity securities issued under the Plan, as contained in the offer to the participant.
• Change of Control
On the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the rules of the Plan) of the Company, the Board will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the
17
HMD_Notice of Annual General Meeting_20180423 (Final)
manner in which vested and unvested equity securities issued under the Plan shall be dealt with.
• Cessation of employment
All unvested equity securities issued under the Plan will lapse immediately on termination of employment of the relevant participant unless any Leaver’s Policy applies or the Board determines otherwise depending on the circumstances.
• No dealing or hedging
Dealing restrictions may apply to equity securities issued under the Plan in accordance with the rules of the Plan and the Company’s Securities Trading policy. Participants are prohibited from hedging or otherwise protecting the value of unvested equity securities issued under the Plan.
• Rights attaching to Shares
Shares issued under the Plan will rank equally for dividends and other entitlements and will be subject to any restrictions imposed under these rules and otherwise rank equally with the existing Shares on issue at the time of allotment.
• Company may issue or acquire shares
The Board may, in its discretion, either issue new Shares or acquire Shares already on issue, or a combination of both, to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Plan.
• Adjustments
Prior to the allocation of Shares to a participant upon vesting or exercise of equity securities issued under the Plan, the Board may make any adjustment it considers appropriate to the terms of equity securities in order to minimise or eliminate any material advantage or disadvantage to a participant resulting from a corporate action such as a capital raising or capital reconstruction.
• Limits on securities issued
The number of shares that may be issued under the Plan will be set with regard to the limits prescribed under any applicable legislation, regulation, policy or other requirement of any duly empowered governmental agency with respect to employee share scheme offers made without a prospectus or other form of prescribed disclosure.
• Continued operation of the Plan
The Plan may be suspended, terminated or amended at any time by the Board, subject to any resolution of the Company required by the ASX Listing Rules.
Range of Employee Share Schemes : The Plan enables the Company to offer its employees a range of different employee share scheme interests (each an ESS ). These ESS interests or ‘awards’ include options, performance rights, service rights, deferred shares, exempt shares, cash rights and stock appreciation rights.
The type of ESS interest that may be offered by the Board, on behalf of the Company, to employees will be determined by a number of factors, including:
18
HMD_Notice of Annual General Meeting_20180423 (Final)
-
the remuneration or incentive purpose of the award;
-
the tax jurisdiction that the participating employee lives and/or works in;
-
the laws governing equity incentives where the participating employee lives and/or works; and
-
the logistics and compliance costs associated with offering equity incentives where the participating employee lives and/or works.
The provisions of the Plan are set out in Plan Rules and copy of those provisions is available to any Shareholder upon request from the Company, at no expense to the requesting Shareholder.
Previous Offers: Since its establishment, no securities have been issued under the Plan.
Directors’ Recommendation: The Directors recommend that all Shareholders cast all their votes in favour of Resolution 8. As stated in the Notice of Meeting, any vote cast in respect of Resolution 8 by a Director and any Associate of a Director will be disregarded, except as stated in the Notice of Meeting.
Resolution 8 represents the first time that the Company has sought Shareholder approval under the provisions of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9).
