Consistent with section 250R of the Corporations Act, the Company submits to shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of a non-binding resolution its Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2007. At the meeting there will be a reasonable opportunity for discussion of the report.

The Remuneration Report is a distinct section of the annual Directors’ Report which deals with the remuneration of Directors and Executives (which include senior managers) of the Company. The Remuneration Report can be located in the Company’s Annual Report on pages 21-25.

Resolution 2: Mr Peter Bunting (Non-Executive Director)

Mr Bunting worked for 30 years in the accounting profession with 16 years as a partner in Deloittes. From 2000 to 2005 he was chairman of the Health Insurance Commission, a major Federal Government agency, delivering health programmes including Medicare and the PBS. He is a Director of several unlisted companies. Mr Bunting is Chairman of the Board Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee and is a member of the Board Remuneration and Nominations Committee.

Resolution 3: Ratification of Share Issues for Purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Brief Summary

On 5 February 2007, as a result of the completion of the first year of the profit performance period for Lloyd Morgan (Brisbane) Pty Ltd and Lloyd Morgan (International) Pty Ltd, the Company issued 823,020 ordinary shares at $3.2175 to the vendors below. The issued securities rank equally in all respects with the shares already on issue.

Please note that this explanation also refers to Resolutions 4 and 5. ASX Listing rule 7.1 imposes a cap on the number of shares that a company may issue within a 12-month period without Shareholder approval. The cap is 15% of the Company’s capital at the beginning of the 12-month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of equity securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 if the holders of ordinary securities subsequently approve it, and the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of the aforementioned shares did not breach any Listing Rules.

In order to restore the Company’s 15% placement capacity, it is proposed that the Members ratify the aforementioned issue of ordinary shares. Ratification provides the Company with flexibility in capital management and allows the Company to make further acquisitions if the opportunities arise.

Brief Summary

On 6 September 2007, as a result of the acquisition of JAV IT, the Company issued 223,902 ordinary shares at $3.573 to the vendor, Mr Joseph A. Vella. The issued securities rank equally in all respects with the shares already on issue.

Please refer to the general explanation of the reasons for putting this resolution under the notes to Resolution 3 above.

Resolution 6: Issue of Options to Managing Director

Diana Eilert was appointed Managing Director in August 2007. It is the Board’s view that the best method of retention of key talent, like Ms Eilert, is through a strong linkage between shareholder returns and executive rewards.

As Diana Eilert is Managing Director of the Company, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to issue her with options. If shareholder approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

The options will be issued for nil consideration.

The Board is recommending that Members approve an issue of 2,100,000 options over fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company to the Managing Director at an exercise price of $3.30, which was the closing price of Candle shares on 26th September 2007. The grant of these options will take place within one month of the AGM, i.e. before 28 December 2007. Exercise is conditional upon achievement of performance hurdles. This Option Plan includes inter alia the following provisions relating to the exercise conditions and exercise price of the options. Once the options are exercised the securities will rank equally in all respects with the shares already on issue:

Subject to the discretion of the Board in certain circumstances, Options issued to the Managing Director pursuant to this Agreement will be exercisable by the Executive in the following circumstances:

  • (i) one third of the total number of Options issued (‘First Tranche of Options’) may be exercised by the Executive at any time after the third anniversary of the Issue Date, provided that the performance hurdle for the First Tranche of Options has been satisfied;

  • (ii) one third of the total number of Options issued (‘Second Tranche of Options’) may be exercised by the Executive at any time after the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date, provided that the performance hurdle for the Second Tranche of Options has been satisfied and;

  • (iii) one third of the total number of Options issued (‘Third Tranche of Options’) may be exercised by the Executive at any time after the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date, provided that the performance hurdle for the Third Tranche of Options has been satisfied.

Performance Hurdles

The performance hurdle for the First Tranche of Options will be the closing price of Candle Australia Limited Shares on ASX as at the Issue Date having increased, at any time after 12 months from the Issue Date, by more than the percentage by which the ASX 300 Share Price Index as at the first anniversary of the Issue Date has increased (‘First ASX 300 Increase’), in comparison to the level of the ASX 300 Share Price Index as at the Issue Date, plus 10% of the First ASX 300 Increase (‘First Candle Price Increase’). The First Candle Price Increase must be sustained for at least 10 Trading Days during any period for 20 sequential Trading Days at any time after the date, being 12 months from the Issue Date until the Expiry Date.

4 CND Notice of Annual General Meeting 2007 | strength to strength

The performance hurdle for the Second Tranche of Options will be the closing price of Candle Australia Limited Shares on ASX as at the Issue Date having increased, at any time after 24 months from the Issue Date, by more than the percentage by which the ASX 300 Share Price Index as at the second anniversary of the Issue Date has increased (‘Second ASX 300 Increase’), in comparison to the level of the ASX 300 Share Price Index as at the Issue Date, plus 10% of the Second ASX 300 Increase (‘Second Candle Price Increase’). The Second Candle Price Increase must be sustained for at least 10 Trading Days during any period of 20 sequential Trading Days at any time after the date, being 24 months from the Issue Date until the Expiry Date.

The performance hurdle for the Third Tranche of Options will be the closing price of Candle Australia Limited Shares on ASX as at the Issue Date having increased, at any time after 36 months from the Issue Date, by more than the percentage by which the ASX 300 Share Price Index as at the third anniversary of the Issue Date has increased (‘Third ASX 300 Increase’), in comparison to the level of the ASX 300 Increase (‘Third Candle Price Increase’). The Third Candle Price Increase must be sustained for at least 10 Trading Days during any period of 20 sequential Trading Days at any time after the date, being 36 months from the Issue Date until the Expiry Date.

Special Resolution 7: Change to Constitution to Introduce the Option of Direct Voting

It is proposed to amend the Constitution of the Company to introduce Direct Voting, which includes advantages for shareholders by providing greater certainty to shareholders when voting at General Meetings. Directors may decide whether Direct Voting should be implemented at each or all General Meetings of the company.

Direct Voting enables shareholders to exercise their voting rights without the need to attend meetings (which may not always be practicable).

  • It is an additional option to shareholders appointing proxies or representatives (over whom shareholders may have no control). The process of appointing a proxy to register a vote has the potential for abuse, as shareholders temporarily transfer to another party some of the rights attached to their membership, especially their right to attend a meeting and vote, or choose not to vote.

  • It improves the exercise of voting rights because it removes the intermediary between the shareholder and the Company. Shareholders need no longer transfer some of their rights to another party.

Direct Voting

The Directors may determine that at any meeting of Members or any class of Members, a Member who is entitled to attend that meeting is entitled to a direct vote. A ‘direct vote’ includes a vote delivered to the Company by post, facsimile or other electronic means approved by the Directors. The Directors may from time to time specify the form, method and timing of giving a direct vote at a meeting in order for the vote to be valid.

Special Resolution 8: Change of Name to ‘Clarius Group Limited’

It is proposed to change the name of the listed entity ‘Candle Australia Limited’ to ‘Clarius Group Limited’ to avoid the uncertainty that sometimes exists in the market place between the group’s operating entity, Candle IT & T Recruitment, and the listed entity. It is intended that the group’s ASX code or ticker should continue to be ‘CND’.

General Notes

  1. A Member entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on the Member’s behalf. If the Member is entitled to cast two or more votes at the meeting, the Member may appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on the Member’s behalf.

  2. If a Member appoints two proxies, each proxy should be appointed to represent a specified proportion or number of the Member’s votes. In the absence of such a specification, each proxy will be entitled to exercise half the votes.

  3. A proxy need not be a Member of the Company.

  4. To appoint a proxy (or two proxies), a proxy form must be signed by the Member or the Member’s attorney duly authorised in writing. If the Member is a corporation, the proxy form must be signed either under the corporation’s common seal (if any) or under the hand of its attorney or officer duly authorised.

  5. To be effective, a proxy form (and, if it is signed by an attorney, the authority under which it is signed or a certified copy of the authority) must be received by the Company not later than 48 hours prior to the Meeting. Proxy forms and authorities may be sent to the Company by post, personal delivery or fax
