Explanatory Notes

The following notes explain the items of business to be considered at the meeting and should be read in conjunction with the notice of meeting.

Financial report and directors’ and audit reports

As required by the Corporations Act, the financial statements of the company and the reports of the directors and auditor for the most recent financial year will be laid before the meeting.

Resolution 1: Approval of remuneration report

In accordance with section 250R of the Corporations Act, the company must put to the vote a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted. The full remuneration report is contained in the company’s 2009 Annual Report.

The vote on the resolution is advisory only and does not bind the directors of the company, however, the directors may take into future consideration the shareholders’ vote on this matter.

The chairman will allow shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about the remuneration report, following which the advisory resolution will be put to members. Although there is no legal requirement to abstain from voting, directors believe it is appropriate that neither directors nor the named senior executives should vote on this resolution, except as directed by a proxy vote.

Directors consider that the company’s remuneration levels, including the grants of options and shares, are competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced directors and senior executives and are consistent with other successful mid size listed companies in the technology sector in Australia, and the interests of directors and senior executives for the short, medium and long term are aligned with the interests of shareholders.

Recommendation: Directors recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolutions 2-3: Re-election of Directors.

Steve Killelea

Steve Killelea founded Integrated Research in August 1988 and held the position of managing director and chief executive officer until retiring from his executive position in November 2004. He was appointed as a non-executive director in November 2004, and elected chairman in July 2005. In accordance with Article 6.1 (f) of the company’s constitution, one-third of directors must retire every year by rotation and are eligible for re-election under Article 6.1 (i). This year it is Steve Killelea who retires and offers himself for re-election.

Alan Baxter

Alan Baxter was appointed an independent non-executive director by directors in June 2009 in accordance with Article 6.1 (d) of the company’s constitution, which allows the board to appoint a director to fill a casual vacancy. Mr Baxter has nearly forty years experience in information technology covering a broad range of the industry’s activities, including global and regional executive appointments in Australia and overseas and has held several company directorships. He must retire and stand for re-election at the next AGM in accordance with Article 6.1 (e).
