SPECIAL BUSINESS

1. Change of Company Name

To consider and if thought fit, pass the following as a special resolution:

That with effect from the day on which the Australian Securities and Investments Commission alters the details of the Company’s registration, for the purposes of section 157 of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes, the name of the Company change from “Australasian Wealth Investments Limited” to “Investsmart Group Limited” and the Constitution of the Company and all other records be amended accordingly.

Entitlement to Vote

For the purposes of the Meeting, all shares will be taken to be held by the persons who, according to the Company’s share register, held them as registered shareholders at 7.00 pm (Sydney time) on Monday 16 May 2016. Accordingly, share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.

How to Vote

Members entitled to vote at the Meeting may vote:

  • by attending the meeting and voting in person; or

  • by appointing an attorney to attend the meeting and vote on their behalf or, in the case of corporate members or proxies, a corporate representative to attend the meeting and vote on its behalf; or

  • by appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf, using the proxy form accompanying this Notice. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.

Voting in person (or by attorney or by corporate representative)

Members or their proxies, attorneys or representatives (including representatives of corporate proxies) wishing to vote in person should attend the Meeting and bring a form of personal identification (such as their driver's licence).

To vote by attorney at this meeting, the original or an originally certified copy of the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which the instrument is signed must be received by the Company’s Share Registry before 11.00 am (Sydney time) on Monday 16 May 2016 in any of the following ways:

By post to the Share Registry, Boardroom Pty Limited: GPO Box 3993, Sydney, NSW, 2001, Australia

By hand delivery to Boardroom Pty Limited at:

Level 12, 225 George Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000, Australia

page 1

To vote in person, you or your proxy, attorney, representative or corporate proxy representative must attend the Meeting.

A vote cast in accordance with the appointment of a proxy or power of attorney is valid even if before the vote was cast the appointor:

  • died;

  • became mentally incapacitated;

  • revoked the proxy or power; or  transferred the Shares in respect of which the vote was cast,

unless the Company receives written notification of the death, mental incapacity, revocation or transfer before the Meeting.

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 and 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 Chairman 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.

Voting by Proxy

Any Member entitled to attend and vote at the 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 the motion. If an appointment directs the way the proxy is to vote on the motion:

  • if the proxy is the Chairman of the Meeting ‐‐‐ the proxy must vote on a poll and must vote in the way directed;

  • if the proxy is not the Chairman 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

  • if the proxy does not attend the Meeting, or does not vote on a poll, the Chairman of the Meeting is taken, before voting on the motion closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the motion at the Meeting.

If a proxy appointment is signed or validly authenticated by the Member but does not name the proxy or proxies in whose favour it is given, the Chairman of the Meeting may either act as proxy or complete the proxy appointment by inserting the name or names of one or more Directors or the Company Secretary.

If:

  • a Member nominates the Chairman of the Meeting as the Member's proxy; or

  • the Chairman of the Meeting is to act as proxy if a proxy appointment is signed by a Member 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 Chairman 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. 11.00 am (Sydney time) on Monday 16 May 2016 in any of the following ways:

By post to the Share Registry, Boardroom Pty Limited:

  • GPO Box 3993, Sydney, NSW, 2001, Australia

By hand delivery to Boardroom Pty Limited at:

Level 12, 225 George Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000, Australia

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

(This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice of Meeting)

This Explanatory Memorandum provides information for Members in respect of the motion to be considered at an Extraordinary General Meeting of Australasian Wealth Investments Limited ( Company ) to be held on Wednesday 18 May 2016 at 11.00 am at the Four Seasons Hotel, 199 George Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000, in Gallery 1 on Level 2.

SPECIAL BUSINESS

1. Change of Company Name

It is proposed that the Company change its name from “Australasian Wealth Investments Limited” to “Investsmart Group Limited”. This is proposed following a review from which the Board determined it is desirable to align the Company’s name and the Company’s primary business brand in order to maximise recognition of that brand.

Under the Corporations Act, a company may change its name by passing a special resolution, adopting a new name and lodging an application in the prescribed form with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The change of name will take effect when the Australian Securities and Investments Commission alters the details of the Company’s registration. A change of the Company’s name will not create a new legal entity nor affect the Company’s existing property, rights or obligations.

At least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote must be in favour of the motion for it to be passed.

The Board unanimously recommends that members vote in favour of the motion.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of the motion.
