Keybridge Capital Limited A.B.N. 16 088 267 190
SUPPLEMENTARY EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
-
§ This supplementary Explanatory Statement is provided to Keybridge shareholders pursuant to and in satisfaction of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
-
§ This supplementary Explanatory Statement is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of AGM ( Meeting Document ).
-
§ Shareholders should read this Meeting Document in full to make an informed decision regarding the resolutions considered at this AGM.
A. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
Section 317 of the Corporations Act requires the Directors of the Company to lay before the AGM the Directors’ Report, Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report for the last financial year that ended before the AGM. These reports are contained within the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.
An electronic version of the 2021 Annual Report may be viewed and downloaded from the Company’s website: www.keybridge.com.au or the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) under ASX Code: KBC or emailed to shareholders upon request to [email protected].
Shareholders as a whole will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions or make statements in relation to these reports and on the business and operations of the Company but no resolution to adopt the reports will be put to shareholders at the AGM.
Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the Company’s Auditor questions about the Auditor's Report and the conduct of the audit of the Financial Report.
B. ORDINARY RESOLUTION 1 – RE-ELECTION OF JEREMY KRIEWALDT AS DIRECTOR
Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval for the re-election of Jeremy Kriewaldt as a Director of the Company.
Jeremy Kriewaldt was first elected a Director of the Company at a shareholders’ meeting held on 23 November 2016.
Jeremy Kriewaldt retires at the AGM under ASX Listing Rule 14.5 and under clause 8.1(d)(2) of the Company’s Constitution. However, being eligible, he has offered himself for re-election as a Director of the Company.
Jeremy Kriewaldt’s qualifications and experience are detailed in the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board (other than Jeremy Kriewaldt, who makes no recommendation in respect of his own re-election as a Director) supports the re-election of Jeremy Kriewaldt to the Board and recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
C. ORDINARY RESOLUTION 2 – SETTING THE TOTAL REMUNERATION FOR DIRECTORS
Resolution 2 has been proposed by the following members of the Company who hold at least 5% of the votes that may be cast at a general meeting of the Company:
-
WAM Capital Limited (ACN 086 587 395) (WAM Capital);
-
WAM Active Limited (ACN 126 420 719) (WAM Active); and
-
Botanical Nominees Pty Limited (ACN 081 032 000) as trustee for the Wilson Asset Management Equity Fund (Collectively “WAM Group”)
The Company notes that it is in shareholders’ interests to remunerate directors appropriately in order to attract the best calibre of person to serve on the Board. Remuneration should therefore reward directors for the value
2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETNG | 1
Supplementary Explanatory Statement
Keybridge Capital Limited A.B.N. 16 088 267 190
they add to the organisation as well as reflecting their duties and the legal liability assumed on behalf of shareholders.[1]
In assessing the appropriateness of the resolution put by the WAM Group, shareholders should bear in mind that the proposed total cap of $40,000 per year is less than half the fee paid to the Directors of WAM Capital or WAM Active, who in FY2021 paid directors $173,333 and $80,000 respectively[2] . In addition, management and performance fees totalling $31,292,390 were paid to the investment managers of WAM Capital and WAM Active in FY21, with entities associated with Mr Geoff Wilson holding 100% of the issued shares of the investment managers[3] .
For the year ended 30 June 2021, the Keybridge generated a net profit after income tax of $2,930,246, representing a 31.9% improvement over the net asset position of the Company in the prior year. The nonexecutive directors’ fees of $100,000 was less than 3.5% of that profit and less than 0.7% of the Company’s net tangible assets as at 30 June 2021.
Notwithstanding the above, Wilson Asset Management and the associated parties proposing this change have provided no further details in support of this resolution.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board recommend that shareholders vote against Resolution 2.
Voting Exclusion and Restriction
No voting exclusion and restriction applies to Resolution 2 which seeks to reduce the remuneration of the nonexecutive directors. ASX Listing Rules 10.17 and 14.11 only require that non-executive directors not vote on a resolution to increase their remuneration.
D. ADVISORY, NON-BINDING RESOLUTION 3 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval to adopt the 30 June 2021 Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2021 Annual Report (refer above for information on accessing the report).
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to present to its shareholders for adoption the Remuneration Report.
The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to “Key Management Personnel” (being the Company’s Directors and Executives identified in the Remuneration Report) ( KMP ), sets out remuneration details for each KMP and any service agreements and sets out the details of any performance based and equity based benefits provided to KMP (where applicable).
Shareholders attending the AGM will be given a reasonable opportunity as a whole to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.
The vote on Resolution 3 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Directors’ Recommendation
Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company (as such interests are described in the Remuneration Report) and, as described in the voting exclusion and restriction on this resolution (set out in the Notice of AGM and below) that each Director (or any Closely Related Parties of a Director) are excluded from voting their shares on this resolution, the Board recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
Voting Exclusion and Restriction
A voting exclusion and restriction applies to Resolution 3 in the terms set out in the Notice of AGM, broadly as follows:
- Restricted Voters may not vote on this resolution and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chair and expressly authorises the Chair to

exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP. The Chair will use any undirected/open proxies to vote in favour of Resolution 3.
The Company encourages shareholders to indicate their voting direction FOR or AGAINST, or to ABSTAIN, in relation to each resolution, including Resolution 3.
If shareholders have appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy (or wish the Chair of the Meeting to become their proxy by default), shareholders can direct the Chair of the Meeting to vote FOR or AGAINST, or to ABSTAIN from voting on Resolution 3 by marking the appropriate Voting Direction box opposite that resolution.
However, if the Chair of the Meeting is proxy under the Proxy Form (including by default) and shareholders do not mark any of the Voting Direction boxes opposite Resolution 3, shareholders are, in effect, directing the Chair to vote “FOR” the resolution as the Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this resolution.
E. (CONTINGENT) ORDINARY RESOLUTION 4 – TO HOLD A BOARD RE-ELECTION MEETING
The Corporations Act was amended in June 2011 to introduce the so-called "two-strikes" rule – if at least 25% of the votes cast on the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive AGM's are against adopting the remuneration report, shareholders will have the opportunity to immediately vote on a "Board spill resolution" at the second AGM (being contingent Resolution 3 at this AGM).
At last year's (2020) AGM, the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report was not passed by shareholders[4] . This constituted a "first strike".
If at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 3 are against adopting the Remuneration Report at this (2021) AGM, this will constitute a "second strike" and Resolution 4 will be put to the meeting and voted on as required by section 250V of the Corporations Act.
If put, Resolution 4 will be considered as an ordinary resolution.
If Resolution 4 is passed, a further meeting of shareholders must be held within 90 days (the Board Re-election Meeting).
Immediately before the end of the Board Re-election Meeting, each of the Company’s Directors who remains in office at the time of the Re-election Meeting, currently expected to be Jeremy Kriewaldt, Nicholas Bolton and Antony Catalano (assuming Jeremy Kriewaldt is re-elected at this AGM under Resolution 1), will cease to hold office at the end of the Re-election Meeting unless re-elected (the Relevant Directors).
Each Relevant Director is eligible to seek re-election as a Director of the Company at the Board Re-election Meeting. If Resolution 4 is passed, shareholders should note that each of the Relevant Directors intends to stand for re-election at the Board Re-election Meeting.
Resolution 4 has the potential that the entire Board of Directors is removed from office. However, as a public company is required to have a minimum of 3 directors, the Corporations Act includes a mechanism to ensure that the Company will have at least 3 directors after the Board Re-election Meeting.
That is, if at the Board Re-election Meeting, at least 3 Directors are not re-elected by ordinary resolution (ensuring the Board comprises a minimum of 3 Directors), up to 3 Relevant Directors with the highest percentage of votes favouring their re-election cast at the Board Re-election Meeting on the resolution for their re-election will be taken to be appointed as Directors of the Company (even if the resolution for their re-election as a Director did not pass at the Board Re-election Meeting).
Directors’ Recommendation
Noting that, as described in the voting exclusion and restriction on this resolution (set out in the Notice of AGM and below), each Director (or any Closely Related Parties of a Director) are excluded from voting their shares on this resolution, the Directors recommend that shareholders vote against Resolution 4.

Supplementary Explanatory Statement
Keybridge Capital Limited A.B.N. 16 088 267 190
Voting Exclusion and Restriction
A voting exclusion and restriction applies to Resolution 4 in the terms set out in the Notice of AGM, broadly as follows:
- § Restricted Voters may not vote on this resolution and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chair and expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy. The Chair will use any undirected/open proxies to vote against this resolution.
The Company encourages shareholders to indicate their voting direction FOR or AGAINST, or to ABSTAIN, in relation to each resolution, including Resolution 4.
If shareholders have appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy (or the Chair of the Meeting becomes their proxy by default), shareholders can direct the Chair of the Meeting to vote FOR or AGAINST, or to ABSTAIN from voting on Resolution 4 by marking the appropriate Voting Direction box opposite that resolution.
However, if the Chair of the Meeting is proxy under the Proxy Form and shareholders do not mark any of the Voting Direction boxes opposite Resolution 4, shareholders are, in effect, directing the Chair to vote “AGAINST” that resolution as the Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies against Resolution 4.
Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this resolution.
OTHER MATTERS
In an ASX Announcement on 6 May 2020, WAM Active Limited and its associated entities ( WAM ) provided notice pursuant to section 203D of the Corporations Act (Cth) ( Act ) of WAM’s intention to call and arrange to hold a general meeting of Keybridge pursuant to section 249F of the Act in order to move the following resolutions:
-
Election of Mr Geoff Wilson as a director
-
Election on Mr Jesse Hamilton as a director
-
Election of Martyn McCathie as a director
-
Removal of Mr Catalano as a director
-
Removal of Mr Bolton as a director
-
Removal of Mr Kriewaldt as a director
-
Removal of alternate director
In a letter dated 27 September 2021, WAM nominated the following parties to be elected as directors of Keybridge (and also provided their respective Consents to Act as a Director) for the purposes of Rule 8.1(h)(4) of Keybridge’s constitution:
-
Election of Mr Geoff Wilson as a director

Election on Mr Jesse Hamilton as a director
-
Election of Martyn McCathie as a director
On 19 October 2021, WAM advised the Company not to include the WAM director nominations for the upcoming Keybridge AGM, however proposed reducing the total remuneration of directors. As a consequence, there are only three (3) resolutions for consideration at the Company’s 2021 AGM.

Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. Please note that you cannot change ownership of your shares using this form.

-
(b) make a written request for an electronic copy of the annual report to be emailed to you.
If you wish to update your annual report elections, please complete Section C of the Proxy Form.
3. Voting on Remuneration Matters: The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 3 (Adoption of Remuneration Report) and Resolution 4 (To Hold a Board Re-election Meeting) by or on behalf of a “Key Management Personnel” (as defined in the Accounting Standards) and their “Closely Related Parties” (as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 ) ( Restricted Voter ). Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) are the Company’s Directors and Executives identified in the Company’s Remuneration Report. A Closely Related Party of a KMP means a spouse or child of the KMP, a child of the KMP’s spouse, a dependant of the KMP or of the KMP’s spouse, anyone else who is one of the KMP’s family and may be expected to influence the KMP, or be influenced by the KMP, in the KMP’s dealings with the Company or a company the KMP controls. The Company need not disregard a vote if a vote is cast by a KMP on Resolution as a proxy, for a person other than a Restricted Voter, on the basis that either:
-
(a) you direct the KMP the way they are to vote on Resolutions 3 and 4; or
-
(b) if the Chair is your proxy, you expressly authorise him to vote as he sees fit on Resolutions 3 and 4 under the Proxy Form even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.
Shareholders may also choose to direct the Chair to vote against this resolution or to abstain from voting.
4. You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the voting direction boxes opposition each resolution. If you do not mark a voting direction box your proxy may, to the extent permitted by law, vote as they choose. If you mark more than one voting direction box on a resolution your vote will be invalid on that resolution.
5. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the meeting.
6. A shareholder of the Company entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy must be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the shareholder’s voting rights.
