31822019v1

ORDINARY BUSINESS

Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

The remuneration report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 is contained in the 2016 Annual Report which is available on the Company's website http://www.korvest.com.au/assets/downloads/KOV-Annual-Report-2016.pdf .

Section 300A of the Corporations Act requires the directors to include a remuneration report in their report for the financial year. Section 250R(2) requires the remuneration report be put to the vote at the Company's annual general meeting. The vote on the resolution is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the Company.

In relation to the non-binding shareholder vote, where a resolution to adopt a company's remuneration report receives a "no" vote of 25 per cent or more at an AGM and comments are made on the remuneration report, the company's subsequent remuneration report is required to include an explanation of the board's proposed action in response to the "no" vote and comments or an explanation of why no action has been taken.

Where a company's remuneration report considered at the next AGM receives a "no" vote of 25 per cent or more, shareholders at that second AGM are to consider a resolution to determine whether to hold a further meeting (“spill meeting”). If this resolution passes by ordinary resolution, then the spill meeting must be held within 90 days of the second AGM and the directors who approved the directors' report, other than the managing director, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the spill meeting. The spill meeting may resolve to appoint those or other persons to the vacated positions.

At the 2015 AGM, the Company’s remuneration report for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 did not receive a “no” vote of 25 per cent or more.

Directors' Recommendation

The directors recommend that the shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Graeme Billings

Clause 50.1 of the Company's constitution provides that at every annual general meeting, one third of the directors (or if that is not a whole number, the next lowest whole number) for the time being (excluding the Managing Director and any director appointed by the directors since the last annual general meeting) automatically retires from office. Clause 50.3 provides that a director retiring in rotation is eligible for re-election.

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director (excluding the Managing Director) must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director's appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer. ASX Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each general meeting.

In accordance with clause 50.1(b) of the Company's constitution, Mr Billings automatically retires in rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election pursuant to clause 50.3 of the Company's constitution.

Mr Billings has been a chartered accountant since 1977. He retired from PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2011 after 34 years where he was a senior partner in the Assurance practice. Mr Billings is a former head of the Melbourne Assurance practice as well as leading the Firm's Australian and Global

31822019v1

Industrial Products businesses. He has extensive experience in providing assurance, governance, transaction and consulting services to multi-national and national companies in the automotive, manufacturing, consumer goods and construction industries.

Mr Billings joined Korvest in May 2013 as an independent non-executive director. In September 2014 he became Chairman.

Mr Billings is also Chairman of Azure Healthcare Ltd as well as being a director of G.U.D. Holdings Limited and Clover Corporation Limited.

Directors' Recommendation

Other than Mr Billings (who is standing for re-election), the directors recommend that the shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3 – Re-election of Director – Mr Andrew Stobart

Mr Stobart was appointed as a director of the Company effective 1 August 2016 to fill a casual vacancy.

Clause 50.1 of the Company's constitution provides that at every annual general meeting, any director appointed by the directors since the last annual general meeting automatically retires from office. Clause 50.3 provides that a director retiring in rotation is eligible for re-election.

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the entity.

In accordance with clause 50.1(a) of the Company's constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, Mr Stobart automatically retires, and being eligible, offers himself for re-election at this annual general meeting pursuant to clause 50.3 of the constitution.

Mr Stobart is an experienced senior executive in the consumer and industrial sectors. He has extensive experience in senior management positions in large and complex organisations. Recently Mr Stobart has been providing advisory services to a number of early stage enterprises. Previously Mr Stobart was Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer for Olex Holdings Pty Ltd. He led the divestment of the then Pacific Dunlop owned energy cable business to a management buyout group sponsored by AMP Asset Management and Catalyst. Subsequently he led the sale of the business (by then known as Olex) to Nexans SpA, the world’s largest cable company. Mr Stobart currently sits on a number of private company boards.

Directors' Recommendation

Other than Mr Stobart (who is standing for re-election), the directors recommend that the shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

SPECIAL BUSINESS

Resolutions 4 and 5 – Approval of the grant of Performance Rights to Mr Alexander Kachellek and to Mr Steven McGregor for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14

Background

In 2011 as part of the overall remuneration strategy of the Company, the Company established a plan called the Korvest Performance Rights Plan ( Plan ). The Plan provides for the issue of performance

31822019v1

rights ( Performance Rights ) to executives of the Company invited by the Board to participate in the Plan. The Performance Rights result in the issue of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( Shares ). A copy of the Plan Rules is available on the Company's website www.korvest.com.au. A brief summary of the Plan Rules is set out below.

The Plan is designed to provide the Company's executives with an incentive to maximise the return to shareholders over the long term, and to assist in the attraction and retention of key executives. Details of the Company's executive remuneration philosophy and objectives can be found in the 2016 Annual Report.

Reason for Shareholder Approval

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires shareholder approval for the issue of securities to a director. Each of Mr Kachellek and Mr McGregor is a director of the Company. Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Performance Rights under the Plan to each of them. If approval is given under listing rule 10.14, approval is not required under listing rule 7.1. The Performance Rights to be granted to Mr Kachellek and Mr McGregor are in effect conditional entitlements, which may vest subject to the satisfaction of the performance hurdles ( Performance Hurdles ), details of which are summarised below.

Issue of Performance Rights

The Company proposes to issue 30,500 Performance Rights to Mr Kachellek and 28,500 Performance Rights to Mr McGregor no later than one month after the date of the AGM. This means the maximum number of Performance Rights that may be acquired by all persons for whom approval is required at the scheduled AGM is 59,000.

Rights attaching to Performance Rights

A Performance Right is a right to acquire one Share which can be exercised once the Performance Right has become exercisable and provided it has not lapsed.

A Performance Right does not give the holder a legal or beneficial right to Shares and does not enable the participating executive, in this case each of Mr Kachellek and Mr McGregor, to receive dividends or any other shareholder benefit by virtue of the issue of that Performance Right unless and until it has been exercised and the Share issued.

Exercise of Performance Rights

Performance Rights that have not vested, vest and are exercisable if:

  • the Company meets during the performance period the performance criteria set by the Board at the time of grant; or

  • the Board determines that a Performance Right becomes a vested Performance Right.

In addition, if an event such as a takeover bid occurs, then Performance Rights that have not vested, vest and are exercisable to the extent determined by the Board having regard to the length of time between the commencement of the Performance Period and the date of occurrence of such event, and the likelihood that the performance criteria would have otherwise been met if such event had not occurred.

31822019v1

Performance Period

The performance period is the period commencing on 1 July 2016 and ending on 30 June 2019 ( Performance Period ).

Performance Hurdles

Performance Rights that have previously been issued to Mr Kachellek and Mr McGregor vest and become exercisable on the satisfaction of an earnings per share ( EPS ) performance hurdle, as detailed in the notices of meetings at which the grants of those Performance Rights were approved.

As part of the Board’s review of the Company’s overall remuneration strategy, the Company engaged remuneration consultant, AON Hewitt, to review and provide advice in relation to the Plan. That review suggested that different Performance Hurdles be introduced for the Performance Rights that the Company proposes to issue to Mr Kachellek and Mr McGregor.

The Board has adopted AON Hewitt’s recommendations such that now:

  • half of the total number of Performance Rights that the Company proposes to issue to each of Mr Kachellek and Mr McGregor (being 15,250 of the Performance Rights to Mr Kachellek and 14,250 of the Performance Rights to Mr McGregor) ( EPS Performance Rights ) will vest and become exercisable if the EPS Performance Hurdle is satisfied over the Performance Period ( EPS Performance Hurdle ); and

  • half of the total number of Performance Rights that the Company proposes to issue to each of Mr Kachellek and Mr McGregor (being 15,250 of the Performance Rights to Mr Kachellek and 14,250 of the Performance Rights to Mr McGregor) ( RTSR Performance Rights ) will vest and become exercisable depending on the ranking of the Company’s total shareholder return ( TSR ) against the TSR of 20 companies in a comparator group of companies selected by the Board ( Comparator Group ) over the Performance Period ( RTSR Performance Hurdle ).

EPS Performance Hurdle

The EPS Performance Rights will vest and become exercisable if the EPS Performance Hurdle is satisfied over the Performance Period in the following circumstances:

  • the EPS Performance Hurdle will be met if the Company exceeds the aggregate threshold EPS over the Performance Period as set out in the table below;

  • one quarter (1/4) of the EPS Performance Rights will vest and be exercisable if the Company equals the aggregate threshold EPS as set out in the table below;

  • all of the EPS Performance Rights will vest and be exercisable if the Company equals or exceeds the aggregate range EPS as set out in the table below;

  • if the Company achieves an aggregate EPS greater than the threshold EPS but less than the range EPS, the number of EPS Performance Rights that will vest and be exercisable will be calculated on a pro rata basis in accordance with the following formula:

A = E x { 25% + 75% [ ( B - C ) / D ] }

31822019v1

where:

A = the number of EPS Performance Rights that will vest and become exercisable (rounded down to the nearest whole number)

B = the aggregate actual EPS over the Performance Period

C = the aggregate threshold EPS

D = the aggregate range EPS less the aggregate threshold EPS

E = the number of EPS Performance Rights issued to the relevant executive.

Year ended Threshold EPS Range EPS
Base EPS (Average of FY14,
FY15 and FY16 EPS)
29.0 29.0
30 June 2017 30.45 33.35
30 June 2018 31.973 38.353
30 June 2019 33.572 44.106
Aggregate – 3 years to
30 June 2019
95.995 115.809

Under the Plan, the Board may make an invitation to an executive to apply for Performance Rights on such terms and conditions as the Board determines for such invitation including without limitation as to criteria and when, and in what circumstances, a Performance Right may become exercisable and any other criteria to be satisfied. Since inception of the Plan, the Board has set the EPS Performance Hurdle figures on the basis of cumulative annual compounding growth in EPS with the base EPS being the prior financial year’s EPS. However, this year the Board has changed the base EPS to be the average of the statutory EPS for the last three years because the Board believes that the average will represent a more appropriate EPS Performance Hurdle given the level of the FY16 EPS, and has also changed the threshold and range as described below.

The EPS Performance Hurdle threshold is broadly equivalent to the Company achieving an aggregate compound annual growth rate of 5% per annum in respect of EPS for the Performance Period. The EPS Performance Hurdle range is broadly equivalent to the Company achieving an aggregate compound annual growth rate of 15% per annum in respect of EPS for the Performance Period.

If an EPS figure for a particular year is not achieved, the threshold EPS or range EPS will still be met if the aggregate EPS in the Performance Period is equal to or exceeds the amounts set out in the table above.

For the purposes of assessing satisfaction of the EPS Performance Hurdle, the Board may adjust the Company's EPS over the Performance Period for extraordinary, significant or non-recurring items.

RTSR Performance Hurdle

The RTSR Performance Rights will vest and become exercisable if the RTSR Performance Hurdle is satisfied over the Performance Period. The RTSR is a ranking of the Company’s total shareholder

31822019v1

return, which is calculated as the growth in share price plus dividends and any capital returns to shareholders to demonstrate the total return to each shareholder expressed as a percentage, against the total shareholder return of a comparative group of companies ( the Comparator Group ) over the Performance Period.

The Comparator Group is made up of 20 companies selected by the Board so as to represent, in the Board’s view, an appropriate benchmark having considered companies that are alternative investment vehicles for local and global investors, that have a spread and size of operations similar to the Company, and that are impacted by economic and cyclical factors in a manner similar to the Company. The Board retains the discretion to change the composition of companies in the Comparator Group from time to time to take into account any mergers, takeovers, wind ups, new entrants, changes to the nature or scale of activities, and any other changes. As at the date of this Notice, the companies in the Comparator Group are set out in the table below:

Comparator Group Comparator Group
Austin Engineering Ltd. (ASX:ANG) HGL Limited (ASX:HNG)
AJ Lucas Group Limited (ASX:AJL) Logicamms Limited (ASX:LCM)
Baumart Holdings Limited (ASX:BMH) Mareterram Limited (ASX:MTM)
Boom Logistics Ltd. (ASX:BOL) NRW Holdings Limited (ASX:NWH)
CMI Ltd. (ASX:CMI) RCR Tomlinson Limited (ASX:RCR)
Coventry Group Ltd. (ASX:CYG) Rectifier Technologies Limited (ASX:RFT)
Decmil Group Limited. (ASX:DCG) Saunders International Limited (ASX:SND)
E&A Limited (ASX:EAL) SRG Limited (ASX:SRG)
Engenco Limited (ASX:EGN) XRF Scientific Limited (ASX:XRF)

GR Engineering Services Limited (ASX:GNG) Zicom Group Limited (ASX:ZGL)

At the end of the Performance Period, the Board will consider and determine whether and, to what extent, the RTSR Performance Hurdle is satisfied, with the percentage of RTSR Performance Rights that vest and become exercisable at each level of performance determined as set out in the table below:

Company’s TSR against TSR of Comparator
Group*
Portion of RTSR Performance Rights that
vest
Below the 51stpercentile 0%
At the 51stpercentile 50%
Above the 51stpercentile but below the 75th
percentile
Between 50% and 100% vest using a straight
line analysis
At or above the 75thpercentile 100%
  • Notwithstanding that the Company’s TSR may meet or exceed the 51[st] percentile compared to the Comparator Group, no Performance Rights will vest if the Company’s TSR is less than zero over the Performance Period .

31822019v1

The use of a RTSR Performance Hurdle is well accepted by the market and provides an appropriate incentive because participants receive rewards where the Company outperforms a peer group and therefore the incentive is aligned to relative market performance.

Issue Price and Exercise Price

Each Performance Right will be issued for no consideration and will have a nil exercise price. As such, there are no loans in relation to this acquisition. If the Performance Right vests it would allow the holder to exercise the Performance Right and be issued with a Share.

Exercise Period

Once the Performance Rights have become exercisable, those rights would need to be exercised within 12 months from the date on which they vest and become exercisable, or they will lapse and there will be no further entitlement to any Shares. This period may be shortened if the holder ceases to be employed under certain circumstances (as described below).

Bonus issue and capital reconstruction of the Company

The number of Shares to be issued on the exercise of the Performance Rights will be adjusted to take account of any bonus issues, rights issues or reconstructions which the Company undertakes between the date of allocation of the Performance Rights and the exercise of those rights.

Cessation of employment

In the case of the holder’s employment ceasing due to misconduct, any other reason justifying termination without notice, or upon notice of resignation, all Performance Rights lapse immediately.

In the case of the holder’s employment ceasing due to death or permanent disablement:

  • Performance Rights that have vested and are exercisable remain exercisable up until the end of the exercise period;

  • a portion of Performance Rights that have not vested (with such portion calculated based on the extent that the Performance Period has elapsed) will continue to be unvested Performance Rights, will vest if the relevant Performance Hurdles are satisfied within the Performance Period and will be exercisable up until the end of the exercise period; and

  • remaining Performance Rights that have not vested will lapse immediately.

In all other cases where employment ceases:

  • Performance Rights that have vested and are exercisable will lapse at the end of 30 days;

  • a portion of Performance Rights that have not vested (with such portion calculated based on the extent that the Performance Period has passed) will continue to be unvested Performance Rights, will vest if the relevant Performance Hurdles are satisfied within the Performance Period and will be exercisable up until the end of the exercise period; and

  • remaining Performance Rights that have not vested will lapse immediately.

31822019v1

Clawback

If the Board determines in its absolute discretion that the vesting of Performance Rights that have not vested would result in an inappropriate benefit being provided to the holder, the Board may resolve that all or a number of such Performance Rights will lapse immediately.

The Board may determine in its absolute discretion the circumstances in which vesting of Performance Rights that have not vested would result in an inappropriate benefit being provided, including without limitation, where:

  • a holder acts fraudulently, dishonestly or has engaged in conduct that adversely affects or is likely to adversely affect the Company’s financial position, performance or reputation;

  • a holder breaches their obligations to the Company or any duties under any applicable law; and

  • there is a material misstatement, omission or error in the Company’s financial statements on which the Board has based its determination previously as to whether to grant Performance Rights to the holder and the number of Performance Rights that were granted to the holder.

Restriction on the disposal of Shares

The Plan provides that the Shares issued on exercise of the Performance Rights will be restricted from disposal until the earlier of:

  • the period (if any) specified in the invitation to participate in the Plan;

  • the time when the holder’s employment ceases;

  • the Board approving a recommendation by the Board’s remuneration committee that the restriction on disposal be released; and

  • for a period of two years from the date of issue of the Performance Rights.

Forfeiture of Shares

Shares issued on exercise of Performance Rights may be forfeited if the holder perpetrates fraud against the Company or any of its subsidiaries ( Korvest group ), acts dishonestly or breaches his obligations to any member of the Korvest group.

The right of the Company to cause the Shares, which have been issued on exercise of the Performance Rights, to be forfeited, expires:

  • on the termination of the holder’s employment with the Company otherwise than as a result of fraud, dishonesty or a breach of his obligations to the Korvest group; or

  • upon the sale or transfer of the Shares; or

  • on the day following the expiry of the seven year period from the date of issue of the Performance Rights.

31822019v1

Resolution 4 – Approval of the grant of Performance Rights to Mr Alexander Kachellek for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14

Background

At the 2015 AGM, approval was obtained from the Company's shareholders for the issue to Mr Alexander Kachellek, Managing Director, of 36,400 Performance Rights for no consideration and at nil exercise price in accordance with the Plan. Since that approval those Performance Rights were issued on the terms as approved.

Mr Kachellek has again been invited by the Board to participate in the Plan and to be issued with Performance Rights if approved by shareholders at this AGM.

Details of the Performance Rights to be issued and the terms on which they are to be issued are set out in the summary above.

Directors' Recommendation

Other than Mr Kachellek (to whom Performance Rights are to be issued if Resolution 4 is passed) and Mr McGregor (to whom Performance Rights are to be issued if Resolution 5 is passed), the directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Resolution 5 – Approval of the grant of Performance Rights to Mr Steven McGregor for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14

Background

At the 2015 AGM, approval was obtained from the Company's shareholders for the issue to Mr Steven McGregor, Finance Director, of 28,800 Performance Rights for no consideration and at nil exercise price in accordance with the Plan. Since that approval those Performance Rights were issued on the terms as approved.

Mr McGregor has again been invited by the Board to participate in the Plan and to be issued with Performance Rights if approved by shareholders at this AGM.

Details of the Performance Rights to be issued and the terms on which they are to be issued are set out in the summary above.

Directors' Recommendation

Other than Mr McGregor (to whom Performance Rights are to be issued if Resolution 5 is passed) and Mr Kachellek (to whom Performance Rights are to be issued if Resolution 4 is passed), the directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

How to Vote on Items of Business

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Appointment of Proxy

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.

Signing Instructions for Postal Forms

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.

Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.
