Explanatory Memorandum
Lycopodium Limited ABN 83 098 556 159
Balance Sheet
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at the Hyatt Hotel, 99 Adelaide Terrace, Perth, Western Australia on Wednesday, 24 November 2010 at 10.00 am (Meeting).
1. Financial, Directors’ and Auditor’s Reports
-
Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2010, copies of which are available on the company’s website at www.lycopodium.com.au or by contacting the Company on telephone number +61 8 6210 5222.
-
Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to ask questions or make comment on the management of the Company.
2. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report
Pursuant to Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2010 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the Managing Director, executive directors and specified executives.
The provisions of the Corporations Act provide that Resolution 1 need only be an advisory vote of Shareholders.
Therefore, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. Of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when considering the remuneration policy.
The Chairman of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask about, or make comment on, the Remuneration Report.
3. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Robert Osmetti as Director
-
Article 6.3(c) of the Constitution requires that one third of the Directors must retire at each Annual General Meeting (rounded down to the nearest whole number).
-
Article 6.3(f) provides that a Director who retires under Article 6.3(c) is eligible for re-election.
Pursuant to these Articles, Mr Osmetti will retire by rotation and seek re-election.
A brief resume of Mr Osmetti is contained in the Annual Report.
The Board believes that Mr Osmetti has performed the duties and responsibilities of a director diligently and professionally, in the best interests of all Shareholders.
The Board unanimously supports the re-election of Mr Osmetti.
4. Action to be taken by Shareholders
- Shareholders should read this Explanatory Memorandum carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.
A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a “proxy”) to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy form to the Company in accordance with the instructions provided. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.
