Unless the appointment states otherwise, the representative may exercise all of the powers that the appointing body could exercise at a meeting or in voting on a resolution.
The representative should bring to the meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which the appointment is signed, unless it has previously been given to the Company.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This information forms part of the notice of annual general meeting. The main purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide shareholders with information concerning all of the resolutions proposed in the notice of annual general meeting.
$\mathbf{1}$ . Resolution 1 - Receipt of Reports
The Company's financial report and the reports of the directors and auditor for the year ended 30 June 2003 are placed before the meeting giving shareholders the opportunity to discuss these documents and to ask questions.
$21$ Resolution 2 - Re-election of Director
In accordance with article 83 of the Company's constitution, at every annual general meeting one-third of the directors (other than the managing director who is exempt under article 85), or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one-third must retire from office. Professor Roy Robins-Browne retires at this annual general meeting and offers himself for re-election.
Professor Roy Robins-Browne, aged 56, has been a director of the Company for five years. He is a Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Melbourne and Head of Microbiological Research at Murdoch Children's Research Institute. He is chairman of the Company's Scientific Committee.
$31$ Resolution 3 - Modification of Constitution
Article 71 of the Company's constitution currently provides that:
"As remuneration for services, each non-executive Director is to be paid out of the funds of the Company a sum determined by the Board payable at the time and in the manner determined by the Board provided that the total remuneration paid to all the non-executive Directors in any year may not exceed \$150,000 or such other amount fixed by the Company in general meeting. The reference to "remuneration" in this Article does not include any amount which may be paid by the Company under Articles 72. 73. 75 or 136."
Remuneration as currently defined could arguably include any shares or options that may be issued to directors. The proposed resolution amends the constitution and excludes any shares or options which may be issued to non-executive directors pursuant to any employee share or option plan adopted by the Company or otherwise approved by the Company. Accordingly the amendment clarifies that shares or options issued to nonexecutive directors will not be considered as being remuneration.
This amendment will ensure that the Company is able to adequately remunerate nonexecutive directors in order to attract suitably qualified persons to become directors of the Company.
Notwithstanding this amendment to the constitution, the issue of shares or options to the directors, will still require shareholder approval.
$\mathbf{A}$ Resolution 4 - Remuneration of Directors
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.17 and article 71 of the Company's constitution, the proposed resolution increases the total maximum remuneration (which subject to resolution 3 being passed by the shareholders, will exclude any share or options which
may be issued to non-executive directors pursuant to any employee share or option plan adopted by the Company or otherwise approved by the Company) to be paid to all the non-executive directors of the Company in any year from \$150,000 to \$250,000. This increase is sought to ensure that the Company is able to adequately remunerate nonexecutive directors (who are not employees of the Company) in order to attract suitably qualified persons to become directors of the Company.
The sum voted at the general meeting is an aggregate sum, that is to say that it is the total amount that may be paid to all non-executive directors in any year. The amount to be paid to individual directors will be a lesser amount determined by the board.
The reference in article 71 to articles 72, 73, 75 and 136 is a reference to remuneration of directors for extra services such as serving on a committee (article 72), reimbursement of travelling or other expenses (article 73), superannuation payments (article 75) or amounts paid to directors pursuant to the indemnity contained in the Company's constitution (article $136$
This is the first time since the Company listed in 1999 that shareholders have been asked to increase the total maximum remuneration to be paid to all non-executive directors of the Company in any year.
5. Resolutions 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 - Granting of Options to Directors
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act deals with related party transactions. It prohibits a public company (such as the Company) from giving financial benefits to a related party (being a director) unless the benefit falls within one of the exceptions contained in Chapter 2E.1 Division 2 or is approved by shareholders under Chapter 2E.1 Division 3. What constitutes "giving a financial benefit" is defined broadly and includes the issuing of securities or the granting of options to a related party.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 restricts listed companies from issuing securities in excess of 15% of their issued capital in any 12 month period unless shareholder approval is obtained. By seeking shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the options will mean that the Company will be able to issue up to the 15% threshold in the next 12 months without the prior approval of the shareholders. This will assist the Company in raising capital without the need to seek shareholder approval and therefore will enable the Company to raise capital at short notice to quickly exploit an investment or capital raising opportunity which, in a competitive situation, may be lost by delay.
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires a company not to permit directors to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of the Company's ordinary securities to the acquisition.
The Company is seeking shareholder approval for the grant of:
- $(a)$ 350,000 options over unissued shares to Mr Molyneux convertible into 350,000 fully paid ordinary shares;
- 250,000 options over unissued shares to Dr Jenkins convertible into 250,000 fully $(b)$ paid ordinary shares;
- $(c)$ 250,000 options over unissued shares to Professor Rov Robins-Browne convertible into 250,000 fully paid ordinary shares;
- $(d)$ 250,000 options over unissued shares to Mr Zwolenski convertible into 250,000 fully paid ordinary shares; and
750,000 options over unissued shares to Mr Graham convertible into 750,000 fully $(e)$ paid ordinary shares.
The options are being issued to the directors in recognition of their contribution to the Company.
Mr Molyneux is being issued with more options than the other non-executive directors to reflect his contribution to the Company in his role as chairman.
Mr Zwolenski was appointed as a director of the Company in September 2002. The Company agreed to issue Mr Zwolenski 250,000 options in December 2002, subject to shareholder approval. This decision was announced to the market on the 12 December 2002. The Company is now seeking shareholder approval to grant the options to Mr Zwolenski. The exercise price of Mr Zwolenski's options is less than the exercise price of the other directors because at the time of agreeing to issue the options to Mr Zwolenski, the Company's share price was only \$0.21 cents.
Mr Graham is being offered more options than the other directors to replace the 1,500,000 options previously issued to him in November 2000 which will expire on 14 November 2003. The Company will not issue Mr Graham's options until his existing ones have expired.
In order for shareholders to approve the issue of the options under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the giving of the financial benefits to a related party. Chapter 2E.1 Division 3 of the Act and ASX Listing Rules 7.3 and 10.15 require certain information to be given to shareholders, as follows.
6. The Related Parties and the Nature of the Benefits
The related parties to whom the resolution would permit financial benefits to be given are all of the current directors of the Company being Mr Molyneux, Dr Jenkins, Professor Robins-Browne, Mr Zwolenski and Mr Graham. The nature of the financial benefit are as follows:
- $(a)$ 350,000 options over unissued shares to Mr Molyneux convertible into fully paid ordinary 350,000 shares;
- $(b)$ 250,000 options over unissued shares to Dr Jenkins convertible into 250,000 fully paid ordinary shares:
- 250,000 options over unissued shares to Professor Roy Robins-Browne (c) convertible into 250,000 fully paid ordinary shares;
- 250,000 options over unissued shares to Mr Zwolenski convertible into $(d)$ 250,000 fully paid ordinary shares; and
- 750,000 options over unissued shares to Mr Graham convertible into fully $(e)$ paid ordinary 750,000 shares.
The options will be issued promptly following receipt of shareholder approval (if granted) and in any event within 1 month after the date of the meeting.
As noted above, the options are being issued to the directors in recognition of their contributions to the Company.
Mr Molyneux's remuneration package for the financial year ending 30 June 2003 was \$43,600 (including superannuation) and the value of the benefits to be provided if shareholder approval to the grant of the options as set out above is obtained, is approximately \$44,100 (using a Black-Scholes pricing analysis and assuming a volatility of 90%, an interest rate of 5.54% over 3 years and based on a Company share price of \$0.275 cents as at 9 September 2003).
Dr Jenkins remuneration package for the financial year ending 30 June 2003 was \$35.425 (including superannuation) and the value of the benefits to be provided if shareholder approval to the grant of the options as set out above is obtained, is approximately \$31,500 (using a Black-Scholes pricing analysis and assuming a volatility of 90%, an interest rate of 5.54% over 3 years and based on a Company share price of \$0.275 cents as at 9 September 2003).
Professor Robins-Browne's remuneration package for the financial year ending 30 June 2003 was \$35,425 (including superannuation) and the value of the benefits to be provided if shareholder approval to the grant of the options as set out above is obtained, is approximately \$31,500 (using a Black-Scholes pricing analysis and assuming a volatility of 90%, an interest rate of 5.54% over 3 years and based on a Company share price of \$0.275 cents as at 9 September 2003).
Mr Zwolenski's remuneration package for the financial year ending 30 June 2003 was \$22,604 (including superannuation) and the value of the benefits to be provided if shareholder approval to the grant of the options as set out above is obtained, is approximately \$21,000 (using a Black-Scholes pricing analysis and assuming a volatility of 76%, an interest rate of 5.44% over 3 years and based on a Company share price of 21 cents as at 12 December 2002).
Mr Graham's remuneration package for the financial vear ending 30 June 2003 was \$235,196 (including superannuation) and the value of the benefits to be provided if shareholder approval to the grant of the options as set out above is obtained, is approximately \$94,500 (using a Black-Scholes pricing analysis and assuming a volatility of 90%, an interest rate of 5.54% over 3 years and based on a Company share price of \$0.275 cents as at 9 September 2003).
As the Company does not know when the options issued to Mr Molyneux, Dr Jenkins, Professor Robins-Browne, Mr. Zwolenski and Mr Graham will be exercised, the Company has no present intention for the use of the funds to be received on exercise. In any event, Mr Zwolenski's options must be exercised by 10 December 2005. Mr Molyneux's, Dr Jenkins' and Professor Robins-Browne's options must be exercised on or before 11 November 2006. Mr Graham's options must be exercised on or before 14 November 2006. Any options not exercised by these dates will automatically lapse.
No cash amount is payable for the grant of the options to each of Mr Molyneux, Dr Jenkins, Professor Robins-Browne, Mr. Zwolenski and Mr Graham.
The exercise price for each of Mr Molyneux's, Dr Jenkins', Professor Robins-Browne's and Mr Graham's options is \$0.55 cents per share. The exercise price for Mr Zwolenski's options is \$0.35 per share. The exercise price of Mr Zwolenski's options is less then the exercise price for the options issued to the other directors because when the Company agreed to issue the options to Mr Zwolenski in December 2002, the Company's share price was \$0.21 cents.
The options maybe exercised in one parcel or on several occasions in multiples of $100.$
The options are transferable.
Any reconstruction of capital (including any consolidation or division of shares or reduction or return of capital) will result in a corresponding adjustment to the number of options or the exercise price (or both) to preserve a director's proportionate entitlement, subject to the same provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by the meeting of shareholders approving the reconstruction of capital, but in all other respects the terms for the exercise of options remain unchanged.
If the Company makes a pro rata rights issue of shares for cash to shareholders the exercise price of unexercised options will be adjusted to reflect the diluting effect of the issue. If there is a bonus issue each unexercised option will, on exercise, entitle its holder to receive additional shares reflecting the bonus issue.
If the resolution is approved, any shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the options will carry the same rights as, and will rank equally with, all existing shares of the Company and Mr Molyneux, Dr Jenkins, Professor Robins-Browne, Mr Zwolenski and Mr Graham will receive notices of, and be entitled to vote at. general meetings of the Company and will be eligible for participation in any dividends from the date of issue of the shares.
If all the options to be issued to the directors are exercised, then the total number of shares to be issued will be 1,850,000 fully paid ordinary shares resulting in current shareholders' interests (based on the Company's current issued share capital of 81,163,403) being diluted by 2.28%.
The current number of shares held by, and options on issue to each director in the Company, are as follows:
Mr Molyneux holds 250,000 ordinary shares and has no options.
Dr Jenkins holds 1,400,000 ordinary shares and has no options.
Professor Robins-Browne holds 15,000 ordinary shares and has no options.
Mr Zwolenski holds no ordinary shares or options.
Mr Graham directly and indirectly holds 4,098,690 ordinary shares and has 1,500,000 options on issue to him at an exercise price of \$0.80 cents, which expire on 14 November 2003. These options were issued for no consideration and pursuant to Anadis Executive Share Option Plan No. 1.
Mr Molyneux originally held 350,000 options and Dr Jenkins and Professor Robins-Browne originally held 250,000 options. These options had an exercise price of \$0.80 cents and expired in February 2003.
The chart below shows the Company's share price history for the preceding 12 months.

Directors' Recommendation $(b)$
In view of the fact that all the directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of the resolution the directors make no recommendation as to how shareholders of the Company should vote in respect of the Company giving the financial benefits to each of the directors described.
$(c)$ Directors' Interests in the Resolution
