Re-adoption of Proportional Takeover Provisions
Resolution 4 – Re-adoption of Proportional Takeover Provisions
The proportional takeover provisions in the Company’s Constitution was last approved by shareholders at the Company’s 2017 AGM. Section 648G(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a company’s proportional takeover provisions will cease to have effect at the end of three years from the date of adoption (or renewal, as the case may be).
There were no proportional takeover bids (as at the date of this Notice of Meeting during the period that the provisions were in effect previously, being three years from the last approval at the Company’s 2017 AGM).
The following information is provided for the purposes of Section 648G of the Corporations Act.
Renewal of proportional takeover provisions
Proportional takeover bid
A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each Shareholder is only for a proportion of the Shareholder’s Shares. If a Shareholder accepts, in full, an offer under a proportional takeover bid, the Shareholder will only dispose of a specified portion of their Shares in the Company and retain the balance of the Shares.
The Proportional Takeover Provisions are designed to assist Shareholders to receive proper value for their Shares if a proportional takeover bid is made for the Company by providing, in the Constitution, that:
-
(a) in the event of a proportional takeover bid being made for Shares in the Company, Shareholders are required to vote and collectively decide whether to accept or reject the offer; and
-
(b) the majority decision of the Company’s members will be binding on all Shareholders.
Effect of the proposed provisions
Where offers have been made under a proportional takeover bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional takeover bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional takeover bid is passed by Shareholders or otherwise, as pursuant to the terms of the Proportional Takeover Provisions.
In more detail, the effect of the Proportional Takeover Provisions is as follows:
-
(a) if a proportional takeover bid is made for Securities of the Company, the Directors must ensure that a meeting of Shareholders is convened to vote on a resolution to approve that bid;
-
(b) the bidder and persons associated with the bidder may not vote;
-
(c) approval of the bid will require a simple majority of the votes cast;
-
(d) the meeting must take place more than 14 days before the last day of the bid period ( Resolution Deadline );
-
(e) if the resolution is rejected before the Resolution Deadline, the bid cannot proceed and any transfers giving effect to takeover contracts for the bid will not be registered;
-
(f) the bid will be taken to have been approved if, as at the end of the day before the Resolution Deadline, the resolution has not been voted on;
-
(g) if the resolution is approved, the transfers must be registered (subject to other provisions of the Corporations Act and the Constitution); and
-
(h) the Directors will breach the Corporations Act if they fail to ensure the resolution is voted on. However, the bid will still be taken to have been approved if it is not voted on within the Resolution Deadline.
The Proportional Takeover Provisions do not apply to full takeover bids. If the Proportional Takeover Provisions are renewed, they will cease to apply at the end of three years after renewal unless renewed by a Special Resolution of Shareholders.
Reasons for the proposed provisions
In the absence of the Proportional Takeover Provisions, a proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having an opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders could be exposed to the risks of passing control to the bidder without payment of an adequate control premium for all their Shares and being left with a minority interest in the Company. Such Shareholders could suffer potential further loss if the takeover bid were to cause a decrease in the Share price or otherwise make the
JCurve Solutions Ltd | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
10
Shares less attractive and, therefore, more difficult to sell.
Knowledge of any acquisition proposals
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, no Director is aware of any proposal to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.
Advantages and disadvantages during the period in which they have been in effect
The Directors consider that the Proportional Takeover Provisions had no advantages or disadvantages for them during the period in which they have been in effect.
The advantages and disadvantages of the Proportional Takeover Provisions for Shareholders include those set out below, which were applicable during the period in which they have been in effect.
Potential advantages and disadvantages
The renewal of the Proportional Takeover Provisions will enable the Directors to formally ascertain the views of the Shareholders in respect of a proportional takeover bid. Without such provisions, the Directors are dependent upon their perception of the interests and views of Shareholders. Other than this advantage, the Directors consider that the Proportional Takeover Provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.
The potential advantages of the Proportional Takeover Provisions for Shareholders include:
-
(a) providing the right to discuss, in a meeting called specifically for that purpose, and then decide, by majority vote, whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;
-
(b) assisting the prevention of Shareholders being locked in as a minority;
-
(c) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced;
-
(d) potentially increasing the likelihood of a full takeover bid rather than a proportional takeover bid; and/or (e) enabling individual Shareholders to better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid, by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders, which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the bid;
The potential disadvantages of the Proportional Takeover Provisions for Shareholders include:
-
(a) imposing a hurdle to, and potentially discouraging the making of, provisional takeover bids which, in turn, may reduce any takeover speculation element in the price of Shares;
-
(b) potentially reducing the likelihood of success of a proportional takeover bid;
-
(c) possible reduction or loss of opportunities for Shareholders sell some or all of their Shares at a premium; and/or
-
(d) potentially causing some Shareholders to form the view that the Proportional Takeover Provisions impose an unreasonable restriction on their ability to freely deal with their Shares.
Prior to the Meeting, a copy of the New Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours. A copy of the New Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders of the Company upon a request being made to the Company Secretary on [email protected].
A complete signed copy of the New Constitution will be tabled at the Meeting.
Pursuant to section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a modification to the Company’s Constitution can only be effected by way of a Special Resolution passed by its Shareholders. Therefore, this Resolution is a Special Resolution that can only be passed if at least 75% of the total votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on this Resolution are voted in its favour.
Professional Advice
If you have any doubt or do not understand this Resolution, it is strongly recommended that you seek advice from a solicitor or other professional advisor.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommend Shareholders vote for this Resolution.
