ExpLANATORY MEMORANDUM

==> picture [66 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [66 x 65] intentionally omitted <==

this explanatory memorandum has been prepared to assist shareholders with their consideration of the resolutions to be put to the annual General meeting to be held at 6.00 pm (Brisbane time) on thursday, 28 november 2013. these explanatory notes should be read with, and form part of, the accompanying notice of annual General meeting.

iteM 1 – ANNuAl fiNANciAl report

the Corporations Act 2001 requires the Reports of the directors and of the Auditors and the Annual Financial Report, including the Financial Statements, to be laid before the Annual General Meeting and the Company’s Constitution provides for such Reports and statements to be received and considered at the meeting. neither the corporations act nor the constitution requires a vote of shareholders at the annual General meeting on such Reports or statements. However, shareholders will be given ample opportunity to raise questions on the Reports and Statements at the Meeting. The Company’s auditor will be available at the meeting to answer any questions in relation to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the Financial Statements; and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

iteM 2 – reMuNerAtioN report

The Company’s Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 is set out in the Directors’ Report contained within the Company’s 2013 Annual Report. Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 requires Geodynamics to propose a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted. Prior to holding this vote, shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity to ask questions or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

the vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the directors. the Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.

Under the Corporations Act 2001 , if 25% or more of the votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive aGms, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (a ‘spill’ resolution) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.

the 2012 Remuneration Report received positive shareholder support at the 2012 annual General meeting with a vote of 95.9% in favour.

A voting exclusion applies to Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties in certain circumstances – see the voting exclusion in the notes to the resolution.

As the Directors have a personal interest in the proposed resolution, they make no recommendations as to how shareholders should vote on the resolution.

iteM 3 – re-electioN of Dr JAck hAMiltoN AS A Director

Clause 14.4 of the Company’s Constitution requires one third of the directors (excluding the managing director and any casual director), or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest but not exceeding one-third, to retire from office by rotation.

iteM 4 – GrANt of ShAre AppreciAtioN riGhtS to chief executive officer & MANAGiNG Director

Background

the Board has recently undertaken a comprehensive review of the employment and remuneration arrangements for the chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director, Mr Geoff Ward, with the assistance of an external independent adviser, Guerdon associates.

Following that review, the Board and Mr Ward have agreed to:

  • Convert Mr Ward’s current fixed term contract (which was due to expire on 31 January 2015) to an open ended contract, retaining the balance of remaining terms other than those outlined below.

  • Reduce his base remuneration by 10% to $450,000, with a corresponding reduction to his short term incentive component (which is set at 50% of base remuneration and is subject to achieving agreed key performance metrics).

  • Increase the long term incentive (LTI) component of Mr Ward’s remuneration package to a maximum of 50% of base remuneration, subject to meeting performance hurdles linked to share price growth. this new Lti component is subject to the approval of shareholders.

==> picture [64 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

4 GEODYNAMICS LIMITED 2013 notice of annual General meeting

==> picture [64 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

Through these changes, Mr Ward’s fixed remuneration and his maximum short term incentive have been each reduced by 10%, while the overall ‘at-risk’ element of his total remuneration package has increased by 25% (namely, from 40% to 50% of his total package).

the previous november 2011 approvals by shareholders of options and deferred shares which comprised Mr Ward’s LTI on commencement with the company in 2011, and for the past 3 years, have now been fully allocated. it is noted that no options have vested to date, and, given the current Gdy share price, it is unlikely that the vesting conditions for the remaining two option tranches will be met prior to vesting dates (being 31 January 2014 and 31 July 2014). The deferred shares approved by shareholders for grant to mr Ward will have been fully issued by the 2013 aGm.

the Board is of the view that it is in the interests of Gdy shareholders for the ceo to continue to participate in a long term equity related plan which aligns with shareholder value creation.

in order to provide a long term performance incentive to the ceo going forward, the Board has approved the adoption of the Geodynamics Limited Share Appreciation Rights Plan (Plan). A SAR is a right to receive shares in the Company or an equivalent cash payment, as determined by the Board, based on the increase in the GDY share price over a specified period, subject to satisfying certain conditions (including a performance condition). saRs have been recommended to the company as an Lti instrument for reasons including:

  • The value of SARs delivered by way of shares is less dilutive than options

  • SARs provide greater alignment with share price growth than do deferred share grants

  • The value of SARs may, at the then determination of the Board, be delivered by way of cash

  • SARs have value only if share price has increased

shareholder approval is now being sought for an initial grant of share appreciation rights (SARs) under the Plan to Mr Ward.

Recognising that there are no current long term incentive arrangements in place for the ceo, the Board considers it appropriate for this first ‘transitional’ grant to comprise two tranches, one tranche with the saRs eligible for vesting after 2 years, the second tranche being eligible to vest after 3 years. each of these initial tranches will have a maximum of 4 additional tests occurring at 6 monthly intervals. the percentage of each tranche to vest will depend on the growth in Gdy share price over the period, with a minimum share price hurdle to be achieved for any of the saRs to vest. in each case, share price will be determined using the 90 calendar day volume weighted average price (VWAP).

it is intended that as part of the renegotiated employment arrangements, the Board will make future annual grants of saRs under the Plan, which will have a 3-year performance period with a maximum of 4 additional tests occurring at 6-monthly intervals. the Board will seek shareholder approval for each subsequent grant of saRs in line with principles of good corporate governance.

Summary of Plan

A summary of the key terms of the Plan are provided below:

  • Under the Plan, the Board may grant SARs to ‘eligible employees’ of Geodynamics and its related bodies corporate. No Non-executive Directors will participate in the Plan.

  • The Board may determine the vesting conditions and lapsing conditions and any other terms applicable to a grant of saRs.

  • In general, SARs will not carry any dividend or voting rights. SARs are also non-transferable, except in limited circumstances or with the consent of the Board.

  • The Company may issue new shares or procure the acquisition of shares on-market to satisfy vested SARs, and may establish an employee share trust for the purpose of holding shares.

  • In the event of fraud, dishonesty or material misstatement of financial statement, the Board may make a determination, including lapsing unvested saRs, to ensure that no unfair benefit is obtained by a participant.

  • In the event of a takeover, scheme of arrangement or other transaction which may result in a person becoming entitled to exercise control over the company, the Board has discretion to determine whether any unvested saRs should vest, lapse or become subject to different vesting conditions.

  • In general, where a participant ceases employment prior to saRs vesting, all unvested saRs will lapse. However, the Board has discretion to determine the treatment of any unvested saRs where a participant ceases employment in ‘good leaver’ circumstances. The Board has adopted a Good Leaver Policy, which provides guidance on the exercise of discretion in these circumstances.

==> picture [64 x 130] intentionally omitted <==

  • The Plan will be administered by the Board which, subject to the asX Listing Rules and applicable legal requirements, is given the power to make all required determinations under the Plan and to waive or modify the application of the terms of the Plan and the SARs granted under it as it considers appropriate.

A copy of the rules of the Plan is available by request from the company secretary.

Approvals sought

Under the asX Listing Rule 10.14, a listed company must not permit a director to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without shareholder approval. accordingly, the company seeks shareholder approval under listing rule 10.14 for the proposed grant of saRs to mr Ward under the terms of the Plan.

approval is also sought under section 200e of the Corporations Act in the event that the Board exercises its discretion to vest a number of saRs to mr Ward on cessation of employment in limited circumstances.

Key terms of grant

The key terms of the grant of SARs proposed to be made to Mr Ward under the Plan are set out below.

==> picture [467 x 462] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

Maximum As noted above, the Board’s intention is to grant Mr Ward a long term incentive based on a maximum of 50% of
number of SARs his base remuneration ($225,000). The proposed grant under the Plan is for up to a maximum of 9.5 million SARs.
the saRs will be granted in two equal tranches as follows:
Tranche Percentage Earliest Vesting Date
1 50% of total award 1 september 2015
2 50% of total award 1 september 2016
The number of SARs will be calculated by dividing the remuneration value of $225,000 by an estimate of the
average fair value of the tranche 1 and tranche 2 saRs. the fair values will be determined by an independent
expert using a Monte-Carlo valuation model based on a range of input assumptions (including volatility,
performance conditions, time to vest, share price at grant, etc).
the actual number of saRs to be granted to mr Ward will be determined using a fair value calculation using the
VWAP of GDY’s ordinary shares for the 90 calendar days immediately prior to the Grant Date (being the date of
allocation of the SARs). For example, based on a 90 day VWAP GDY share price of $0.10 the average fair value
is estimated to be approximately $0.0265. The number of SARs is determined by dividing $225,000 by $0.0265
resulting in a grant of 8,490,566.
Date of grant if shareholder approval is obtained, the Board intends that the saRs will be granted to mr Ward shortly after
the meeting (but, in any event, within 12 months after the date of the meeting), and it will be the fair value
determined by an independent expert at that time.
Performance the performance condition is based on growth in the Gdy share price. the Board has selected this measure as
condition it is open and transparent, and it also provides strong alignment with shareholder value creation. the following
vesting schedule will apply to the tranche 1 saRs:
Growth in GDY % of SARs in % of total SARs in
share price Tranche 1 of 2013 2013 grant that vest
grant that vest
THRESHOLD: 20% 30% 15%
MAXIMUM: 90% 100% 50%
the following vesting schedule will apply to the tranche 2 saRs:
Growth in GDY share % of SARs in % of total SARs in
price Tranche 2 of 2013 2013 grant that vest
grant that vest
THRESHOLD: 30% 30% 15%
MAXIMUM: 100% 100% 50%
Note: No SARs in either Tranche 1 or Tranche 2 will vest if the growth in GDY’s share price is below the Threshold.
Vesting will occur on a straight line basis between the threshold and maximum points, such that an additional
1% of saRs in respect of each tranche will vest for every 1% increase in the share price above the threshold
share price.

|---|---|
|the saRs in each tranche will be initially tested against the performance condition on the earliest Vesting date|
|applicable to that tranche.|
|Additional|any saRs that do not vest in either tranche 1 or tranche 2 will be subject to a maximum of 4 additional tests|
|testing dates|occurring every 6 months from the earliest Vesting date for the relevant tranche (each a testing date).|
|The performance condition will be progressively increased to require an additional 5% growth in GDY’s share|
|price at each Testing Date above the Threshold and Maximum levels set out in the tables above. For example, any|
|tranche 1 saRs that do not vest at the earliest Vesting date of 1 september 2015 will be tested after 6 months|
|against an adjusted performance condition requiring 25% share price growth at threshold and 95% growth at|
|maximum. at the next testing date, the threshold and maximum levels will increase to 30% and 100%, respectively.|
|this explains the difference in the threshold and maximum levels between tranche 1 and tranche 2 as outlined in|
|the tables above.|
|If the SARs have not, pursuant to these performance conditions, vested by the final applicable retesting date, the|
|saRs will lapse.|

Price payable no amount will be payable in respect of the grant of, or on the vesting of, the saRs.
for SARs
Allocation of the saRs will vest to the extent the performance condition is met at the relevant Vesting date.
Shares
Subject to the Plan Rules, each SAR that vests will deliver a reward value based on the increase in GDY share
price over the performance period. the reward value will be converted into shares using the following formula:
Number of SARs x (Closing Price – Opening Price)
Closing Price
where:
• Opening Price is the VWAP of GDY’s ordinary shares for the 90 calendar days immediately prior to the Grant Date.
• Closing Price is the VWAP of GDY’s ordinary shares for the 90 calendar days immediately prior to the relevant
Vesting date.
the shares allocated will not be subject to any additional trading restrictions.
Under the Plan Rules, the Company retains the discretion, at the determination of the Board, to make a cash
payment (less any deduction for taxes that the company is required to make from the payment) in respect of
reward value of the vested saRs (i.e. instead of delivering the reward value in shares).
Cessation of if mr Ward ceases employment with Geodynamics prior to saRs vesting, the default position is that all unvested
employment saRs will lapse on that date.
However, in certain circumstances (such as cessation for reasons of death, disability or otherwise in “good leaver”
circumstances approved for this purpose by the Board), the Board may determine the treatment of any unvested saRs.
Other required Listing Rule 10.14 - No current directors other than Mr Ward are entitled to participate in the Plan.
information – ASX
As this is a new Plan, no securities have been issued under it to date.
Listing Rules
There are no loans in relation to the acquisition of SARs or securities issued under the Plan.
Other required in the event that the Board exercises its discretion to vest a number of saRs to mr Ward on cessation of
information – employment in limited circumstances, the value of any such saRs that may vest cannot currently be ascertained.
section 200E
the circumstances that may affect the calculation of this value include:
Corporations Act
• performance against the performance condition at the time employment ceases
• the part of the performance period that has elapsed at the time employment ceases, and
• the number of SARs that lapse on cessation of employment.
----- End of picture text -----

impact on capital Structure

Until saRs vest and shares (if any) are issued, the grant of saRs will not impact on the number of ordinary shares on issue for the company. the company is unable to provide any guidance on the number of ordinary shares that may be issued on the vesting of the saRs as the calculation is subject to a number of variables.

The Board (other than Mr Ward) unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Item 4.

Votes on Items of Business – Proxy Appointment

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.
