Explanatory Memorandum
Lycopodium Limited ABN 83 098 556 159
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, 23 November 2011 at 10.00 a.m. (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 2011, 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 2011 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 vote on the resolution is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the Company, nor does it affect the remuneration paid or payable to the Company’s directors or the executives. However, the Board will take the outcome of the resolution into account when considering future remuneration policy.
Section 250R(4) of the Corporations Act prohibits any votes on this resolution being cast by senior executives (or their associates) whose remuneration details are disclosed in the report. This prohibition extends to undirected proxy votes to be cast by the Chairman. In this regard, you should specifically note that if you appoint the Chairman as your proxy and you do not indicate on the Proxy Form how you wish your proxy to vote on Resolution 1, you will be deemed to have expressly directed the Chairman to cast your votes in favour of Resolution 1.
Therefore, if you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy but do NOT want your votes to be cast in favour of Resolution 1, you must indicate your voting intention by marking either ‘against’ or ‘abstain’ against Resolution 1 in the Proxy Form.
3. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Peter De Leo 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(e) of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires under Article 6.3(c) is eligible for re-election.
Pursuant to these Articles, Mr De Leo will retire by rotation and seek re-election.
A brief resume of Mr De Leo is contained in the Annual Report.
The Board believes that Mr De Leo has performed the duties and responsibilities of a director diligently and professionally, in the best interests of all Shareholders. Accordingly, the Board (with the exception of Mr De Leo) supports the re-election of Mr De Leo.
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.
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of the Resolutions unless directed by the Shareholder to vote contrary to this stated voting intention or to abstain from voting on the Resolution(s).
