EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice convening the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Immutep Limited ( Company ) to be held virtually via the online details provided above.
This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist Shareholders in understanding the background to, and the legal and other implications of, the Notice and the reasons for the proposed resolutions. Both documents should be read in their entirety and in conjunction with each other.
Terms used but not defined in this Explanatory Memorandum have the meanings given to them in the Glossary.
1. 2020 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
Background
The first item of the Notice of Meeting deals with the presentation of the consolidated annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2020, together with the Directors’ declaration and report in relation to that financial year and the auditor’s report on those financial statements. Shareholders should consider these documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered.
Action Required
No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the financial reports and accounts and on the management of the Company.
The Chairman will also provide Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the auditor or the auditor’s representative questions relevant to:
-
(a) the conduct of the audit;
-
(b) the preparation and content of the independent audit report;
-
(c) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of accounts; and
-
(d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
The Chairman will also allow a reasonable opportunity for the auditor or their representative to answer any written questions submitted to the auditor under section 250PA of the Corporations Act (which requires questions to be submitted no later than 5 business days prior to the Meeting).
2. RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF THE REMUNERATION REPORT
Background
In accordance with section 250R (2) of the Corporations Act , the Company is required to put to its Shareholders a resolution that the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company’s 2020 annual financial report, be adopted. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2020.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
Voting consequences
While the vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company, under the Corporations Act , if at least 25% of the votes cast on a Remuneration Report resolution are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the reelection of all of the Directors (other than the Chief Executive Officer) who were in office when the applicable Director’s Report was approved at the second annual general meeting ( Spill Resolution ).
If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. All of the Directors (other than the Chief Executive Officer) who were in office when the Directors’ Report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) was approved, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting | Page 9
==> picture [549 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors of the Company is approved by the Shareholders, will be the Directors of the Company. At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
3. RESOLUTION 2: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR GRANT CHAMBERLAIN
Background
The Company’s Constitution provides that an election of directors must be held at each annual general meeting. Mr Chamberlain retires and being eligible, wishes to stand for re-election in accordance with the Company’s Constitution. Mr Chamberlain was appointed as a Director of the Company on 21 August 2017 and was elected as a Director on 17 November 2017.
Mr Chamberlain is a partner of One Ventures, one of Australia's leading venture capital firms. Prior to joining OneVentures in 2017 Mr. Chamberlain was Head of Mergers & Acquisitions and Financial Sponsors Australia at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Prior to joining Bank of America Merrill Lynch in 2013, Mr Chamberlain held senior positions at Nomura Australia and Deutsche Bank. He has over 20 years' experience in investment banking and advised on many of the largest mergers and acquisitions transactions in Australia during that time. He began his career as a corporate lawyer at Freehill Hollingdale & Page. Mr Chamberlain earned a Bachelor of Laws with Honors and a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Melbourne.
Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously (excluding Mr Chamberlain) recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
4. RESOLUTION 3: APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
General
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
The Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.
If the Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If the Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
The Resolution is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
Eligibility
An eligible entity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is one which, at the date of the resolution, has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less and is not included in the S&P / ASX 300 Index. The Company anticipates that it will be an eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the time of the Meeting.
The exact number of equity securities that may be issued pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which provides that eligible entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12-month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of equity securities calculated as follows:
(A x D) – E
2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting | Page 10
==> picture [549 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Where
A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue (the relevant period ):
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities under rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;
-
plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months;
Note that A has the same meaning in the ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
D is 10%.
E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.
Any equity securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in an existing quoted class of the Company's equity securities. The Company presently has one class of quoted securities, being Shares (ASX Code: IMM).

Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing Shareholders
If the Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, the additional economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted. There is a risk that the market price of the Company's securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting and the securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price on the issue date.
The table below shows a number of potential dilution scenarios for a capital raising which may be conducted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.4 where the number of the Company's Shares on issue (Variable "A" in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2) has remained current or increased by either 50% or 100% and the Share price has decreased by 50%, remained current or increased by 100% based on the closing Share price on ASX at 16 September 2020.
| Variable A in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.A.2 |
Dilution | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.108 50% decrease in Current Market Price |

| Funds Raised | $10,484,065 | $20,968,130 | $41,936,261 |
The above dilution table uses the following assumptions which the Company does not represent will necessarily occur:
-
a) the “issue price at current market price” is the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 16 September 2020.
-
b) Variable “A” is 487,630,938 which equates to the number of current Shares on issue at 16 September 2020. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro-rata issue) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders meeting;
-
c) the Company issues the maximum number of securities available under the additional 10% ASX Listing Rule 7.1A approval;
-
d) the table shows only the effect of issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
-
e) no options, warrants, performance rights or convertible notes (including any options issued under the 10% Placement Capacity) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of issue of equity securities;
-
f) 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%;
-
g) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of the placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting;
-
h) the issue of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A consists only of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company; and
-
i) “Funds Raised” are before any capital raising costs which may be incurred.
10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting at which approval is obtained until the earlier of:
-
a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval was obtained; b) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or
-
c) the date of approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting | Page 12

Purpose of additional 10% Placement Capacity
While the Company does not have any immediate plans to issue Shares under the 10% Placement Capacity, the Company may seek to issue securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for:
Cash consideration - the Company may use the funds for working capital, investing activities (including possible complementary business acquisitions if any are identified and approved by the Board), meet financing commitments or capital management activities deemed by the Board to be in the best interests of the Company.
The Company will comply with any disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3 upon the issue of any securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
Allocation policy
The Company's allocation policy is dependent upon the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case by case basis having regard to factors including but not limited to the following:
-
a) the methods of raising funds that are then available to the Company;
-
b) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
d) advice from professional and corporate advisers (if applicable).
Allottees under any capital raising which may be conducted under the 10% Placement Capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Meeting and may include existing and/or new Shareholders but cannot include any related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Previous Issue of Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
This is the seventh occasion on which Shareholder approval has been sought under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, with the Company having received Shareholder approval at every AGMs held between 2014 to 2019.
Details of the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting is set out as follows:

39,162,889 Shares |
| Allottees of the securities | As part of a placement announced on 29 April 2020, the Shares were issued to new and existing institutional and sophisticated investors. Bell Potteracted asleadmanagerand bookrunner. |

Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3
When the Company issues equity securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will give ASX:
-
a) a list of the names of the persons to whom the Company issues the equity securities and the number of equity securities allotted to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
-
b) the information required by ASX Listing Rule 3.10.3 for release to the market.
At the date of the Notice of Meeting the Company has not invited and has not determined to invite any particular existing Shareholder or an identifiable class of existing Shareholder to participate in an offer under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, no existing Shareholder will be excluded from voting on this Resolution.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded from calculation of the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 months following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
5. RESOLUTION 4: RATIFICATION OF PREVIOUS SHARE ISSUE
Background
As announced by the Company on 29 April 2020, the Company issued a total of 96,000,000 shares to institutional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.125 per Share to raise approximately A$12,000,000 (before costs) ( Placement Shares ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A
Broadly speaking, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 1 November 2019.
The issue of Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it is effectively using up the Company’s 25% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, the Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting | Page 14
==> picture [549 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of these Shares which were issued pursuant to the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A as follows:
56,837,111 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 39,162,889 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 10% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.5
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 sets out a number of items which must be included in a notice of meeting proposing a ratification of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.4. The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
| Number of Shares issued: | 96,000,000 |
|---|---|
| Date on which Shares were issued |
5 May 2020 |
| The issue price of the Placement Shares: |
The Placement Shares were issued at A$0.125 per Share |
| The names of the persons who were issued with the Placement Shares and or the basis on which those persons were determined: |
Institutional and sophisticated investors were approached by professional brokers on the basis of their clients’ investment strategy and prior relationships as well as existing shareholders of the Company. |
| Terms of the Placement Shares: | The Placement Shares were issued on the same terms as, and rank equally in all respects with, the Company’s existing Shares. |
| The intended use of funds raised: | The funds raised from the issue of the Shares were used to drive development of Immutep’s immuno-oncology and autoimmune programs, including its lead product candidate, eftilagimod alpha. |
| Voting Exclusion | A voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 4 of the Notice of Meeting. |
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded from calculation of the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 months following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
Directors’ recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
6. RESOLUTION 5: APPROVAL OF POTENTIAL TERMINATION BENEFITS FOR ELIGIBLE EXECUTIVES OF THE COMPANY
Under section 200B of the Corporations Act , the Company must not give a person a benefit in connection with the person’s retirement from an office, or position of employment, in the Company or its related bodies corporate if:
-
the office or position is a managerial or executive office; or
-
the person has, at any time during the last three years before their retirement, held a managerial or executive office in the Company and its related bodies corporate, unless shareholder approval is obtained under section 200E of the Corporations Act for the giving of the benefit (or if a specified exception applies). The Corporations Act sets out certain exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval.
-
These exceptions relate to things such as statutory entitlements to accrued annual and long service leave and other benefits which fall within the monetary cap prescribed by the Corporations Act (which is broadly equivalent to one year’s annual average base salary of the relevant person over the period during which that person held a managerial or executive office (up to a period of three years)).
A “benefit” is broadly defined and can include a payment or other valuable consideration provided to the relevant person.
2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting | Page 15
==> picture [549 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
A benefit also extends to cover accelerated or automatic vesting of equity awards on, or as a result of, retirement from an office or position, a payment made in lieu of giving of notice of termination and a payment that is made as part of a post-employment restraint.
If a termination benefit is given in excess of what is permitted under the Corporations Act , a breach of the Corporations Act can occur even if the person receiving the benefit is entitled to the benefit under their contractual arrangements with the Company and its related bodies corporate.
ASX Listing Rule 10.19
ASX Listing Rule 10.19 provides that, without shareholder approval , an entity must ensure that no officer of the entity or any of its child entities, will be, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the termination benefits that are or may become payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the entity as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.
Why is Shareholder approval being sought?
The purpose of Resolution 5 is to seek approval from Shareholders for the provision of certain benefits to persons who hold a ‘managerial or executive office’ (as that term is used in the Corporations Act ) in the Company or a related body corporate of the Company ( Executive ) so that such termination benefits may be paid or provided to the Executive without breaching the requirements of section 200B of the Corporations Act and the Company can meet its contractual commitments to the Executive.
Who does this approval cover?
Approval is being sought for any current or future Executives at the time of their termination or at any time in the three years prior to their termination. This would include:
-
KMP of the Company, as disclosed in the Remuneration Report and any future remuneration report of the Company; and
-
executives who serve as directors of the Company's subsidiaries.
Details of the remuneration of the Company's current KMP are set out in the Remuneration Report.
Resolution 5 seeks approval, not just for the KMP disclosed in the Remuneration Report, but also for any other current or future director or employee who, at the time of his or her termination or at any time in the three years prior to that date, was a KMP of the Company or the Company's subsidiaries.
Details of benefits for which Shareholder approval is sought
Performance rights and options
Under the Plan, the Company can award Executives performance rights or options in accordance with the Plan.
Under the terms of the performance rights which are proposed to be granted at this Meeting, such performance rights will either:
-
(a) automatically vest and all relevant performance conditions will be deemed to have been satisfied in full, without the need for any further action, on cessation or termination of employment of the Executive, except where the Executive's employment or appointment ceases or is terminated, as a result of fraud, dishonesty or breach of the Executive's obligations, or as a result of their voluntary resignation. In these circumstances all unvested performance rights will automatically lapse on the date on which the Executive ceases to be employed or appointed by the Company or their employment or appointment is terminated (as applicable); or
-
(b) provide the Board with a discretion to determine whether the performance rights will vest (and, if so, what proportion of the performance rights will vest) on termination of the Executives employment. The Board would generally exercise its discretion for unvested performance rights and options to vest, except in the circumstances outlined in (a) above.
Since 2014, the Company has issued and will continue to issue performance rights and options to Executives which provide the Board with a discretion to determine whether such performance rights and options will vest (and, if so what proportion of the performance rights and options will vest) on termination of the Executives employment or appointment. The Board would generally exercise its discretion for unvested performance rights to vest, except in the circumstances outlined above.
Any future performance rights or options issued by the Company under the Plan (or otherwise) may either provide for similar automatic vesting conditions, or for the Board to exercise discretion in relation to unvested performance rights or options, as outlined above.
Approval is being sought from Shareholders in relation to the vesting of performance rights and options granted as outlined above, and in respect of accelerated vesting conditions for any performance rights or options which are granted to Executives under the Plan (or otherwise) in the future.
2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting | Page 16
==> picture [549 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Other termination benefits
Shareholder approval is also being sought for termination benefits that may be provided to an Executive under individual employment agreements or engagement letters entered with the Executive.
Further information about these benefits is set out in Annexure A of this Explanatory Memorandum.
The value of the benefits
The monetary value of any benefit that arises in connection with the vesting of an Executive's performance rights (or options) or benefits under their employment agreement or engagement letter cannot currently be ascertained because this value depends on the future matters, events and circumstances.
In relation to the value of any performance rights or options, the future matters, events, and circumstances include, but are not limited to:
-
The number of performance rights or options granted to the Executive.
-
The number of unvested performance rights and options the Executive holds at the time they cease employment from office with the Company and its related bodies corporate and the number that vest or lapse automatically under their terms or that the Board determines to vest or lapse.
-
The extent to which the performance conditions that apply to the performance rights or options have been satisfied.
-
The circumstances in which the Executive ceases to hold office.
-
The length of time that the Executive has been in their role with the Company.
-
The exercise of discretions by the Board.
-
The Company's Share price at the relevant time.
The future matters, events, and circumstances relevant to determining the value of any benefits under an Executive's employment agreement or engagement letter are outlined in Annexure A of this Explanatory Memorandum.
Approval is sought for a three-year period
Shareholder approval is sought for:
-
any performance rights granted to the date of the 2020 AGM (as outlined above) and any performance rights or options granted under the Plan during the 3 years from the date of the AGM until the conclusion of the Company's AGM in 2023; and
-
any termination benefits under an Executive's employment agreement or engagement letter as outlined in Annexure A of this Explanatory Memorandum if the Executive ceases employment or office during the 3 years from the date of the AGM until the conclusion of the Company's AGM in 2023.
Directors’ recommendation
The Board (excluding Mr. Voigt) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
7. RESOLUTION 6: APPROVAL OF GRANT OF RIGHTS TO MR GRANT CHAMBERLAIN
General
The Board intends to issue Mr Chamberlain and/or his nominee 1,350,000 Performance Rights to subscribe for 1,350,000 Shares in the Company on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum.
The performance rights are proposed to be issued to Mr Chamberlain as remuneration for his services as a Director of the Company and in lieu of cash remuneration for Director’s fees. The number of performance rights to be granted is calculated based on 3 years of directors’ fees at $90,000 p.a. divided by $0.20 (being the closing share price of $0.20 on 18 August 2020).
The performance rights which are being granted to Mr Chamberlain for the sole purpose of remunerating him for his services as Director of the Company, and are not being provided in addition to any cash remuneration (noting however, that this does not include cash reimbursements when expenses are incurred under clause 21.8 of the Company's Constitution).
The Board believes that the grant of performance rights to Mr Chamberlain is reasonable as the value of the performance rights will be moderated in accordance with the terms set out in Annexure B to this Explanatory
2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting | Page 17
==> picture [549 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Memorandum. The grant of performance rights is similarly reasonable to the Company, as they allow for the preservation of cash reserves, and will not substantially dilute the remaining Shareholder's shareholdings.
The Directors have therefore formed the view that the proposed grant of performance rights to Mr Chamberlain, is reasonable and appropriate having regard to the circumstances of the Company and Mr Chamberlain's duties and responsibilities.
Having regard to this, the Directors are also of the view that Resolution 6 is not subject to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act , as the performance rights fall under the exception provided for in section 211(1) of the Corporations Act .
ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval, by ordinary resolution, prior to the issue of securities (including the grant of performance rights) to a related party of the Company. Mr Chamberlain is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the grant of the performance rights to Mr Chamberlain is required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11. If Shareholder approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, separate approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Shareholders should therefore note that if the issue of performance rights to Mr. Chamberlain is approved for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11, the issue will not be included in the Company's 15% placement capacity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of items which must be included in a notice of meeting proposing an approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.1. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders:
-
(a) the performance rights will be offered and, if accepted, granted to Mr Chamberlain and/or his nominee;
-
(b) the maximum number of performance rights to be issued is 1,350,000;
-
(c) the performance rights will be issued on a date which will be no later than 1 month after the date of the AGM Meeting;
-
(d) The performance rights will be issued to Mr Chamberlain in lieu of the payment of Directors fees to him;
-
(e) no funds will be raised by the issue of the performance rights to Mr Chamberlain, and
-
(f) the terms and conditions of the performance rights to be issued to Mr Chamberlain are set out in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum.
From an economic and commercial point of view, the Directors do not consider that there are any material costs or detriments for the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the performance rights pursuant to this Resolution 6.
The performance rights are being issued to Mr Chamberlain with the consent of the Company's Remuneration Committee and, in accordance with the Company's remuneration policy and framework, namely that the remuneration is:
-
(a) competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent from both the domestic and international market places;
-
(b) aligned to the Company's strategic and business objectives and the creation of Shareholder value; and
-
(c) acceptable and transparent to Shareholders.
If shareholder approval is not obtained for this resolution Mr Chamberlain will receive his directors’ fees of $90,000 p.a.in cash instead of the performance rights that he would have received on vesting of each of the tranches over the vesting period indicated in Annexure B had shareholder approval been obtained.
Directors’ recommendation
The Board (with Mr Chamberlain abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 as it provides a low-cost alternative to remunerate a KMP while aligning the Company’s interests with those of Mr Chamberlain.

| Employment agreements | Payment in lieu of notice The Group's employment agreements typically contain or will contain the ability for the Company or other relevant entity in the Group that is the employer to make a payment to the Executive in lieu of some or all of the applicable termination notice period. Generally, the notice period of an Executive is up to 6 months. Where payment in lieu of notice is made, the payment will be calculated by reference to the Executive’s base remuneration at the time. The Company or the relevant entity in the Group that is the employer will not be required to make a payment in lieu of notice if the employee's employment is terminated for cause. |
| Accrued leave entitlements Payment of accrued, but untaken annual leave and long service leave will be paid out on cessation of employment. Leave and expenses will be accrued and paid out in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement and the Group's obligations under applicable law. While accrued benefits which are payable under law are excluded from the restriction on payment of termination benefits under the Corporations Act (and therefore shareholder approval is not required to pay these benefits) certain Executives may accrue benefits under their employment agreement which are in excess of what the Company is required to provide under law. The Group's employment agreements for some Executives may contain provisions which provide for 30 days' annual leave each year (whereas the statutory minimum in Australia is 4 weeks). |
|
| Post-employment restraint The Group's employment agreements for some Executives may contain provisions which require the employer to make payment of 50% of the Executive's average remuneration over the preceding 12 months during the post-employment restraint on the Executive. The duration of the post-employment restraint may be up to 24 months after the end of the Executive's employment. The employment agreements generally provide for the employer to waive the post-employment restraint on 6 months’ notice. |
|
| Change of control The Group's employment agreements for some Executives may contain a provision which provides for a payment of up to 12 months' gross salary if the Executive's employment is terminated without cause by the employer or for good reason (which includes a material alteration to the Executive's duties) by the Executive, within 12 months of a change of control. |

| No dealing or hedging | Dealing restrictions apply to performance rights in accordance with Company’s Securities Trading Policy. Mr Chamberlain is also prohibited from hedging or otherwise protecting the value of any unvested performance rights held by him. |

==> picture [551 x 45] intentionally omitted <==
| Change of control | All performance rights will automatically vest and all performance conditions will be deemed to have been satisfied in full if: • a takeover bid (as that term is defined under section 9 of the Corporations Act) is announced in respect of Shares, and that takeover bid has become or is declared unconditional, and the bidder has voting power (as that term is defined under sections 9 and 610 of the Corporations Act) in the Company of at least 50.1%; or • a court approves, under section 411(4)(b) of the Corporations Act, a compromise or arrangement for the purposes of, or in connection with, a scheme for the reconstructions or amalgamation of the Company which, if implemented, would result in a person having voting power (as that term is defined under sections 9 and 610 of the Corporations Act) in the Company of at least 50.1%; or • a person acquires control (as that term is defined under section 50AA of the Corporations Act) of the Company.

|---|---|
| Loans | No loan will be provided by the Company in relation to the grant or exercise of the performance rights. |
| Adjustments | Prior to the allocation of Shares upon vesting or exercise of performance rights, the Board may make any adjustment it considers appropriate to the terms of securities in order to minimize or eliminate any material advantage or disadvantage resulting from a corporate action such as a capital raising or capital reconstruction provided that such adjustment is in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. |
| Change of rights in event of reorganization of capital |
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 6.16, Mr Chamberlain’s rights in respect of the performance rights will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applying to a reorganization of capital at the time of reorganization. |
| Right to participate in new issues of Company securities |
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 6.19, the performance rights do not provide a right to participate in any new issues of Company securities unless and until any vested performance rights are exercised. |
| Transfer on death | Vested performance rights are only transferable by force of law upon death to Mr Chamberlain's legal personal representative. |

Indicate who you want to appoint as your Proxy.
If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.
Appointment of a Second Proxy
You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.
STEP 3 SIGN THE FORM
The form must be signed as follows:
Individual: This form is to be signed by the securityholder.
Joint Holding : where the holding is in more than one name, all the securityholders should sign.
Power of Attorney: to sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry. Alternatively, attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies: this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.
STEP 4 LODGEMENT
To appoint a second proxy you must:
(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form.

(b) return both forms together in the same envelope.
STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY
To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.
Proxy which is a Body Corporate
Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.
