1 Purpose of this Document

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist Shareholders with their consideration of the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.

2 Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director, Mr Ross Kelly

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and Article 17.4 of the Constitution, at every Annual General Meeting, one third of the Directors for the time being must retire from office and are eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire are to be those who have been longest in office since their appointment or last reappointment or, if the Directors have been in office for an equal length of time and unless mutually agreed, by lot.

Mr Ross Kelly, a Director of the Company since 14 January 2004, seeks re-election by reason of his retirement by rotation pursuant to Resolution 2 of the Notice of Meeting. A record of Mr Ross Kelly’s attendances at Board meetings over the 12 month period to 30 June 2009 is set out in the 2009 Annual Report as are further details concerning his qualifications and experience.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 to appoint Mr Ross Kelly.

3 Resolution 3 – Ratification of the issue of 10,000,000 Shares

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification for the issue and allotment of 10,000,000 Shares issued to Flexit Invest AB (a related entity of the previous owners of Flexit AB) as part consideration for the purchase of Flexit AB ( Flexit ).

3.1 Flexit

On 20 February, 2007, Imdex announced the acquisition of Flexit for $22 million with $12 million cash to be paid on 1 May 2007 and the balance of $10 million to be satisfied by the allotment of 5 million Shares at an issue price of $2 per share on 1 May, 2009. If the Imdex share price was less than $2 per Share on 1 May, 2009, Imdex was to issue the 5 million Shares at the then trading price plus an amount of cash required to bring the market value of the Shares and cash paid at that time to $10 million. At 31 December 2008 this was estimated to be a cash payment of $8.5 million.

As previously announced by the Company on 16 February 2009, and effective from 13 February 2009, Imdex reached an agreement with the previous owners of Flexit to vary the $10 million deferred consideration due 1 May 2009 by the issue of 10 million Shares on 9 May 2009 at an issue price of $1.00 per Share and to defer the potential cash "top up" mechanism to May 2012. Pursuant to the new agreement the cash "top up" mechanism only applies if the share price has not reached $1.00 at any time between May 2009 and May 2012.

3.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Ratification by the Shareholders of the Company is now sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 in order to reinstate the Company’s capacity to issue up to 15% of its issued capital, if required, in the next 12 months without Shareholder approval.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders in relation to the Shares the subject of Resolution 3:

  • (a) the total number of Shares issued by the Company on 9 May 2009 was 10,000,000;

  • (b) the Shares were issued at a deemed price of $1.00 per Share;

  • (c) the Shares were allotted to Flexit Invest AB as part consideration for the purchase by the Company of 100% of Flexit AB;

  • (d) the Shares allotted and issued rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue;

  • (e) no Shares were issued to any related party of the Company; and

  • (f) no monies were raised by the issue as the issue was in part consideration for the purchase by the Company of 100% of Flexit AB.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

4 Resolution 4 – Approval of Employee Performance Right Plan

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to establish and maintain an employee performance right plan ( EPRP ) to provide ongoing incentives to executives and key employees of the Company. A performance rights plan provides a number of advantages to the Company over the current Employee Share Option Plan, including:

  • unlike options the employee is not entitled to the securities until the performance criteria are met and the performance rights are exercised;

  • performance rights are less dilutive than share options; and

  • performance rights may be more tax effective.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the EPRP will enable the Company to issue performance rights to executives and employees of the Company ( Performance Rights ) and to issue Shares to those executives and employees if they achieve the performance and vesting conditions of the Performance Rights. In the case of an executive Director, no Performance Rights may be issued to the executive Director without express Shareholder approval of the number and terms of the Performance Rights (or a definitive formula to calculate the same).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of equity securities which a listed company may issue in any 12 month period without shareholder approval (subject to certain exceptions, for example a pro rata issue to all shareholders). The limit is, generally speaking, no more than 15% of the total number of equity securities on issue at the beginning of the 12 month period, plus the number of equity securities issued with the approval of shareholders or under one of the exceptions during the previous 12 months.

One of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 is Listing Rule 7.2 - Exception 9, which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within the 3 years before the date of issue, shareholders have approved the issue as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholder approval is sought to establish the EPRP and to enable the Company to subsequently grant the Performance Rights under the EPRP, without experiencing the delays and costs involved in having to obtain Shareholder approval each time the Company wishes to issue securities which exceed the 15% limit contained in Listing Rule 7.1 and do not otherwise fall within one of the nominated Listing Rule exceptions.

A summary of the Terms of the EPRP is provided in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum. A copy of the EPRP will be made available to any Shareholder on request.

Page 2

==> picture [91 x 45] intentionally omitted <==

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No Performance Rights have been issued under the EPRP as at the date of this Explanatory Memorandum.

At the date of this Notice of Meeting, the proposed new legislation (as contained in proposed Division 83A and related provisions of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 ) addressing and impacting upon the employee share scheme rules currently in Division 13A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 ( New Legislation ) announced by the Federal Government on 12 May 2009 and subsequently varied through the consultation process, has not been passed. The Company expects that the EPRP will comply with the New Legislation however it reserves the right not to implement the EPRP should this result in any adverse consequences to either the Company or its employees, once the New Legislation is enacted.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

5 Resolution 5 – Issue of Performance Rights to Mr Ridgeway

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14, Resolution 5 of the Notice of Meeting deals with the proposed grant to Mr Ridgeway, Imdex’s Managing Director, or his nominee, that number of Performance Rights calculated as set out below and in accordance with the EPRP and also which are subject to the general terms and conditions set out below.

The purpose of the grant of the Performance Rights is to provide a performance incentive to Mr Ridgeway. The Performance Rights will be granted for no consideration no later than one month after the proposed New Legislation is passed and, in any event, no later than 3 years after the date of this meeting.

It is noted that should the New Legislation not be passed, or not be passed largely in its proposed form, and should, as a result of the New Legislation, implementation of the EPRP result in any adverse consequences to either the Company or its employees, then the Company has reserved the right for the EPRP proposed by Resolution 4 not to be implemented. In this event, the Performance Rights proposed by this Resolution 5 will not be granted to Mr Ridgeway.

If the Performance Rights are issued to Mr Ridgeway and fully exercised by Mr Ridgeway, no funds will be received by the Company. The dilution effect if all Performance Rights are exercised by Mr Ridgeway would be minor but this will ultimately be dependant on the number of Performance Rights actually issued to Mr Ridgeway and the Company’s share capital at the date the Performance Rights are exercised. No material opportunity cost is considered to arise to the Company in respect of the proposed grant of Performance Rights to Mr Ridgeway.

It is noted that the 2,000,000 Options exercisable at $3.00 per option and approved by Shareholders at the 2008 Annual General Meeting of shareholders were not (and will not be) issued by the Company to Mr Ridgeway following the impact on the Company's share price by the global financial crisis.

Requirements of the Listing Rules

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed entity must not issue equity securities under the EPRP to a related party without Shareholder approval. The proposed grant of Performance Rights to Mr Ridgeway requires approval by Shareholders under the Listing Rules.

As the issue will be made under the EPRP, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 (which limits the number of equity securities the Company may issue within a 12 month period to not more than 15% of the total number of ordinary securities on issue without the requirement for Shareholder approval).

Specific Disclosure of Information as Required by the Listing Rules

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 and 10.15A, the following information is provided:

  • a) The number of Performance Rights to be granted to Mr Ridgeway will be calculated by dividing the volume weighted average price of the Company's Shares during the five trading days before the Performance Rights are granted to Mr Ridgeway by the amount which is 30 per cent of Mr Ridgeway's current base remuneration, with that amount being set at $150,000.

For example, if the volume weighted average price of the Company's Shares during the five trading days before the Performance Rights are granted is $0.7250, the calculation of the number of Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Ridgeway would be:

150,000 ÷ 0.7250 = 206,895 Performance Rights

However, the maximum number of Performance Rights which may be issued to Mr Ridgeway will be set at no greater than 300,000.

  • b) No amount will be payable by Mr Ridgeway to acquire the Performance Rights or upon the exercise of the Performance Rights.

  • c) Mr Ridgeway is the only Director presently entitled to participate in the EPRP, and as the EPRP is only now being established (as per Resolution 4), no persons have previously been issued Performance Rights under the EPRP.

  • d) Subject to the approval of this Resolution, the issue of the Performance Rights referred to in this Resolution will be issued no later than 3 years after the date of this meeting.

  • e) Details of any Performance Rights issued under the EPRP will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to the period in which the Performance Rights were issued and, where applicable, it will be noted that approval for the issue of the Performance Rights was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

  • f) Any additional persons (being related parties of the Company) who become entitled to participate in the EPRP after this Resolution was approved and who are not named in this notice of meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

  • g) No loan will be provided to Mr Ridgeway by the Company in connection with the issue of the Performance Rights.

Terms and Conditions of Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Ridgeway

The general terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are set out in the summary of the EPRP provided in Annexure A. Additionally, for the purposes of Item 5 of Annexure A, the Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Ridgeway with the following additional terms:

  • a) The Performance Rights will be exercisable by the holder upon achievement of the agreed performance hurdles and vesting conditions, provided that Mr Ridgeway is employed by or on behalf of the Company at the time the Performance Rights are exercised or he may exercise the Performance Rights or part thereof within three calendar months of ceasing such employment;

  • b) The agreed performance hurdle required to be fulfilled to enable exercise of the Performance Rights are that the Imdex Group FY10 EBITA be equal to or greater than the EBITA internally budgeted by the Company and approved by the Board; and

  • c) The expiry period for the Performance Rights will be the date that is five years after the date of issue. However, certain vesting conditions also apply to the Performance Rights such that Mr Ridgeway as the holder of the Performance Rights (and subject to the agreed performance hurdle having first been satisfied) may exercise one third of the Performance Rights granted to him at any time within the period beginning one year after the date of issue of the Performance Rights and ending five years after the date of issue of the Performance Rights. A further one third of the Performance Rights may be exercised by him at any time within the period beginning two years after the date of issue of the Performance Rights and ending five years after the date of issue of the Performance Rights. The remaining one third of the Performance Rights may be exercised by him at any time within the period beginning three years after the date of issue of the Performance Rights and ending five years after the date of issue of the Performance Rights.

How to Vote on Items of Business

Signing Instructions for Postal Forms

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.

Appointment of Proxy

Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote as they choose. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

Attending the Meeting

Bring this form to assist registration. If a representative of a corporate securityholder or proxy is to attend the meeting you will need to provide the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. A form of the certificate may be obtained from Computershare or online at www.computershare.com.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.

Comments & Questions: If you have any comments or questions for the company, please write them on a separate sheet of paper and return with this form.
