Australasian Wealth Investments Limited 2015 Annual General Meeting Notes and Voting Instructions
To vote by corporate representative at the meeting, a corporate Member or proxy should obtain an Appointment of Corporate Representative Form from the Share Registry, complete and sign the form in accordance with the instructions on it. The appointment should be lodged at the registration desk on the day of the Meeting. The appointment of a representative may set out restrictions on the representative's powers.
The original form of appointment of a representative, a certified copy of the appointment, or a certificate of the body corporate evidencing the appointment of a representative is prima facie evidence of a representative having been appointed. The Chair of the Meeting may permit a person claiming to be a representative to exercise the body's powers even if he or she has not produced a certificate or other satisfactory evidence of his or her appointment.
C. Voting by Proxy
Any Member entitled to attend and vote at this Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of that Member. The proxy does not need to be a Member. A Member that is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If no proportion or number is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the Member’s votes. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate. A proxy that is a body corporate may appoint a representative to exercise the powers that the body corporate may exercise as the Member's proxy.
A proxy may vote or abstain as he or she chooses except where the appointment of the proxy directs the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution. If an appointment directs the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution:
-
if the proxy is the Chair of the Meeting ‐ the proxy must vote on a poll and must vote in the way directed;
-
if the proxy is not the Chair of the Meeting ‐ the proxy need not vote on a poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote in the way directed; and
-
in this instance if the proxy does not attend the Meeting, or does not vote on a poll, the Chair of the Meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at that Meeting.
If a proxy appointment is signed or validly authenticated by the Shareholder but does not name the proxy or proxies in whose favour it is given, the Chair of the Meeting may either act as proxy or complete the proxy appointment by inserting the name or names of one or more of the Directors or the Company Secretary.
If:
-
a Shareholder nominates the Chair of the Meeting as the Member's proxy; or
-
the Chair of the Meeting is to act as proxy if a proxy appointment is signed by a Shareholder but does not name the proxies in whose favour it is given or otherwise under a default appointment according to the terms of the proxy form,
then the person acting as Chair in respect of an item of business at the Meeting must act as proxy under the appointment in respect of that item of business.
Proxies must be lodged not later than 48 hours before the Meeting (i.e. 2:00pm (Sydney time) on 24 November 2015) in any of the four following ways:

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Explanatory Statement for the 2015 Annual General Meeting of Australasian Wealth Investments Limited ACN 111 772 359
(This Explanatory Statement forms part of the Notice of Meeting dated 19 October 2015)
This Explanatory Statement provides information for Shareholders in respect of the resolutions to be considered at the Annual General Meeting of Australasian Wealth Investments Limited ( Company ) to be held on Thursday, 26 November 2015 at 2:00pm (Sydney time) at the Four Seasons Hotel, 199 George Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000, in Studio 3 on Level 1 ( Meeting ).
Ordinary Business
1. Financial Statements
As required by section 317 of the Corporations Act, the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report of the Company is contained within the 2015 Annual Report and will be laid before the Meeting.
Shareholders will be provided with the opportunity to ask questions about the reports or about the Company generally. There is no requirement for a Shareholder resolution on this item. Therefore, no resolution will be put to the Meeting.
2. Re‐Election of Director – Paul Clitheroe AM – Resolution 1
The Listing Rules and the constitution of the Company require each Director to be re‐elected every three years and also that an election of Directors be held each year. Both Mr Clitheroe and Mr Shepherd were elected to the Board at the 2014 Annual General Meeting but as an election of Directors must be held each year, Mr Clitheroe has put himself forward for election at the Meeting.
Mr Paul Clitheroe, aged 60, is a founding director of leading financial planning firm ipac, and has been involved in the investment industry since he graduated from the University of New South Wales in the late 1970’s. From 1993 to 2002 Mr Clitheroe hosted the popular Channel 9 program Money. Since 1999 he has been the chairman and chief commentator of Money magazine. He writes personal finance columns for metropolitan, suburban and regional newspapers across Australia and presents Talking Money on radio nationally. Mr Clitheroe has been a media commentator and conference speaker for more than 30 years, and is regarded as one of Australia's leading experts in the field of personal investment strategies and advice.
Mr Clitheroe is also Chairman of the youth anti‐drink driving body, RADD, a Director of Wealth defender Equities Limited, a listed investment company, and a member of the Sydney University Medical School Advisory Board. In 2012, Macquarie University appointed Paul as Chair of Financial Literacy. He is a Professor with the School of Business and Economics.
In 2008, Mr Clitheroe was recognised as a Member of the Order of Australia for service to the financial sector through the promotion of financial literacy, and to the community.
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Australasian Wealth Investments Limited 2015 Annual General Meeting Explanatory Statement
3. Election of Director – Ron Hodge – Resolution 2
The Listing Rules and the Constitution require that a Director appointed by the Directors to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to existing Directors (who is not the Managing Director) holds office only until the end of the next following general meeting. Mr Ron Hodge, aged 45, was appointed as a Director by the Directors on 31 August 2015.
After leaving UBS Singapore in 1999 as an Associate Director, Mr Hodge co‐founded and was Managing Director of InvestSMART Financial Services. He sold that business to Fairfax Media in October 2007, where he continued as General Manager.
In 2013 Mr Hodge was instrumental in the Company buying InvestSMART from Fairfax and now runs this business along with other related businesses owned by the Company.
Mr Hodge excels in competitive environments dominated by large industry players with cross‐disciplinary skills and leadership across critical business functions such as marketing, technology, sales and finance.
Mr Hodge holds a Masters Degree in Computer Science, Bachelor Degrees in Commerce and Economics and a Graduate Diploma in Applied Finance and Investments.
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
4. 2015 Remuneration Report – Resolution 3
As required by the Corporations Act, a resolution that the Company’s 2015 Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to a vote at the Meeting. The 2015 Remuneration Report is contained within the Directors’ Report at pages X to Y of the 2015 Annual Report.
The vote on this matter is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. Shareholders will be provided with an opportunity to ask questions or make comments on the 2015 Remuneration Report. The Directors will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders at the Meeting on the 2015 Remuneration Report when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.
As required by section 250U and section 250V of the Corporations Act, if 25% of the votes cast at the 2014 and 2015 Annual General Meetings (or two consecutive Annual General Meetings beyond that period) oppose the adoption of the Remuneration Report, then at the 2015 (or second) Annual General Meeting, the Company must give Shareholders the option to pass a resolution ( Spill Resolution ) requiring that the entire board (except any Managing Director) stand for re‐election at an Extraordinary General Meeting ( Spill Meeting ).
At the Company’s 2014 Annual General Meeting, over 25% of votes were cast against the adoption of the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2014. As a consequence, in the event that 25% or more of votes cast on Resolution 3 at the Meeting are against the Resolution, then the Spill Resolution, being Resolution 4 (Item 5 – Contingent Business), will be placed before the Meeting.
As a result of the voting results at the 2014 Annual General Meeting in the relation to the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2014, some of the Company’s largest Shareholders were contacted to better understand the concerns that led to that voting result.

Australasian Wealth Investments Limited 2015 Annual General Meeting Explanatory Statement
The Directors identified that Shareholders were concerned that the Company’s personnel structure and remuneration policies:
-
were not appropriate relative to the size of the Company; and
-
required adjustment to align better with the core strategic and business objectives of the Company.
Early in 2015 the Directors conducted a strategic review of the Company and decided to integrate it as one business focussing on its wholly owned digital wealth properties. This resulted in a significant streamlining of Company personnel in the latter half of the 2015 Financial Year. The financial impact of these changes is not reflected in the Financial Statements to be considered at the Meeting.
The Directors believe that reductions in expenses as a result of these changes will position the Company to increase investment in growing and enhancing revenue streams. The Directors also believe that future Remuneration Reports of the Company will demonstrate that the adjusted personnel structure is more closely aligned to the size of the Company and its strategic and business objectives.
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
Contingent Business
5. Holding a Spill Meeting – Resolution 4
As set out in Section 4 above in relation to the 2015 Remuneration Report, if 25% or more votes that are cast are against Resolution 3, the Company is required to put this item to the Meeting under section 250V of the Corporations Act. If less than 25% of the votes cast are against Resolution 3 (adopting the 2014 Remuneration Report) then this item will not be put to the Meeting. If put, the Spill Resolution will be considered an ordinary resolution however, voting exclusions will apply.
If more than 50% of the votes are cast in favour of the Spill Resolution, under section 250W of the Corporations Act, the Company must convene a Spill Meeting within 90 days of the Meeting. All of the Directors who were in office on 28 August, 2015, when the 2015 Directors Report was approved, other than any Managing Director, will need to stand for re‐election at the Spill Meeting. Mr Clitheroe and Mr Shepherd were in office on 28 August, 2015 and so, they will stand for election at any Spill Meeting. Following any Spill Meeting, those persons whose election or re‐ election as Directors is approved will be Directors of the Company. If a Director is re‐elected at any Spill Meeting, the term of office of that Director continues as if the cessation and re‐election had not occurred.
The Corporations Act includes a mechanism to ensure that the Company will have at least 3 Directors (including any Managing Director) after any Spill Meeting, as is required for a public company. If at a Spill Meeting, at least 3 Directors are not elected by ordinary resolution, those persons with the highest percentage of votes favouring their election, will be taken to be elected (even if less than half of the votes cast on the resolution were in favour of their election). The Company has 3 Directors, including Mr Clitheroe and Mr Shepherd. If a Spill Meeting is convened and no new Director/s are appointed and/or elected before or at the Spill Meeting then Mr Clitheroe and Mr Shepherd will each be re‐elected as a Director at the Spill Meeting regardless of the number of votes in favour of their election.
The Directors recommend Shareholders vote against Resolution 4 if it is put to the Meeting.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote available proxies against Resolution 4 if it is put to the Meeting.
