Proxy voting by the Chair
The Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 (Cth), imposes prohibitions on Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties from voting their shares (or voting undirected proxies) on, amongst other things, remuneration matters.
However, the chair of a meeting may vote an undirected proxy (i.e. a proxy that does not specify how it is to be voted), provided the shareholder who has lodged the proxy has given an express voting direction to the chair to exercise the undirected proxy, even if the resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of Key Management Personnel. If you complete a proxy form that authorises the Chair of the Meeting to vote on your behalf as proxy, and you do not mark any of the boxes so as to give him directions about how your vote should be cast, then you will be taken to have expressly authorised the Chair to exercise your proxy on Resolutions 1 and 8. In accordance with this express authority provided by you, the Chairman will vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 8. If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, and you wish to direct him how to vote, please tick the appropriate boxes on the form.
The Company’s Chairman, Mr Damien Lim, will chair the Meeting, and intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each item of business.
If you appoint as your proxy any Director of the Company, except the Chairman, or any other Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties and you do not direct your proxy how to vote on Resolutions 1, and 8, he or she will not vote your proxy on that item of business.
-
(c) A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
-
(d) A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate. If a body corporate is appointed, the proxy form must indicate the full name of the body corporate and the

4. Ratification of previous issues of shares
| Resolutions 6 and 7 |
Ratification of previous issues of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 |
|---|---|
| Explanation | The Company seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for previous issues of securities made by the Company during the last 12 months under the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions under ASX Listing Rule 7.2, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities during any 12 month period in excess of 15% of the number of ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period without shareholder approval (15% Placement Capacity). ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to the limitations on the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities pursuant to its 15% Placement Capacity, by permitting the ratification of previous issues of Equity Securities which were not made under a prescribed exception under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with shareholder approval, provided that such issues did not breach the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. If shareholders of a company approve the ratification of such previous issues of Equity Securities at a general meeting, those Equity Securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, if shareholders ratify the previous issues of securities made by the Company by way of approving Resolutions 6 and 7, these securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and will no longer be deducted from the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. |
| Reasons for Resolutions 6 and 7 |
The effect of the ratification sought under Resolutions 6 and 7 in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is the reinstatement of the Company’s maximum 15% Placement Capacity. This will effectively enable the Company to issue further Equity Securities of up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company, if required, in the next 12 months without requiring shareholder approval. |
| Specific information for Resolution 6 – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Lender Shares | |
| Information required to be provided under the ASX Listing Rules 7.5 |
Resolution 6 seeks shareholder ratification of the issue of the Tranche 1 Lender Shares. The 1,500,000 Tranche 1 Lender Shares were issued under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity on 31 May 2016 to the Tranche 1 Lender in lieu of interest accrued on a loan and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement between the parties.

| Board Recommendation |
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company that the Directors maintain their ability to issue up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Directors consider it to be appropriate and prudent for approval to be sought at the 2016 Annual General Meeting, in respect of the relevant issues of securities made by the Company in the last 12 months. The Directors believe this approval will enhance the Company’s flexibility to raise equity capital, should the Directors consider that it is in the best interests of the Company to do so. In particular, the Directors note that if this approval is not obtained at the 2016 Annual General Meeting, the Company may be required to incur the additional costs and delay of convening another extraordinary general meeting of the Company if the Directors propose to issue securities which do not fall under an exception to the 15% rule in ASX Listing Rule 7.2. On the basis of the foregoing, the Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 6 and 7. |

| Background | The Company’s existing Non-Executive Directors (save for Mr Spittle) have each been issued 1,250,000 options to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, exercisable at $0.10 each, vesting two years from the date of their issue and expiring three years from the date of their issue. These options were issued to the Non- Executive Directors as part of their equity-based remuneration in April 2016, pursuant to shareholder approval obtained at the Company’s 31 March 2016 Extraordinary General Meeting and prior to the appointment of Mr Spittle as Director. The issue of the Director Options to Mr Spittle is intended to align his remuneration with that of the other Non-Executive Directors. |
| Shareholder approval |
Shareholder approval of the issue of the Director Options to Mr Spittle is sought for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules and all other purposes. ASX Listing Rule Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the acquisition of securities by a Director under an employee incentive scheme such as the LTIP requires shareholder approval. In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, shareholders are being asked under Resolution 8 to approve the grant of the Director Options to Mr Spittle under the LTIP. Exception 14 in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 provides that ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply where shareholder approval for an issue of securities is obtained under ASX ListingRule10.14. Thismeans that,ifshareholderapproval is obtainedfor |

Resolution 8, the issue of the Director Options to Mr Spittle, along with the underlying shares which may be issued upon exercise of the Director Options, will not deplete the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
In considering the issue of the Director Options to Mr Spittle, the Board acknowledges that the grant of options to a Non-Executive Director is contrary to the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations which recommend that non-executive directors should normally be remunerated by way of fees, should not participate in schemes designed for remuneration of executives and should not receive options or performance rights. However, the Board considers the grant of the Director Options constitutes cost effective consideration to Mr Spittle for his ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company and constitutes reasonable remuneration to the Director in the circumstances of the Company and the Directors (including their responsibilities as Directors of the Company).
Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties of a public company. Section 208 of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company giving a financial benefit to a related party unless one of a number of exceptions applies or shareholder approval is obtained. For the purposes of Chapter 2E, Mr Spittle (being a Director of the Company) is a related party of the Company by virtue of section 228(2) of the Corporations Act.
A “financial benefit” is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and expressly includes a public company issuing securities. The giving of a financial benefit to a related party of a public company is ordinarily prohibited by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. One exception to the general rule is where the benefit constitutes “reasonable remuneration” in respect of the duties and responsibilities of the related party in the management of the public company.
As aforementioned, the issue of the Director Options to Mr Spittle is intended to align Mr Spittle’s remuneration with that of the other Non-Executive Directors. The Company considers the grant of options to Non-Executive Directors to be an effective method of incentivising the Non-Executive Directors without requiring further expenditure by the Company, and to further align the Directors’ interests with that of shareholders.
An alternative to the issue of the Director Options would be to increase Mr Spittle’s cash remuneration. However, given the current stage of development of the Company, and the necessity for cash resources to be preserved and directed into the growth of the Company’s business, the Board considers the issue of the Director Options to be an appropriate cash-free method of remunerating Mr Spittle for his commitment and contribution to the Company.
On this basis, in the view of the Board, the issue of the Director Options constitutes “reasonable remuneration” in respect of Mr Spittle and, as the provision of such a benefit is expressly permitted by section 211(1) of the Corporations Act, the Board does not consider the Company is required to seek shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in order to give Mr Spittle the financial benefit that is inherent in the issue to him of the Director Options.
Accordingly, Resolution 8 does not seek approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

There is currently no proposal by the Directors to issue any securities under the LTIP to any Director or his associates, other than to the parties as described in this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum. Any such issue would also require the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. There is no loan proposed in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Options to Mr Spittle.
Details of any securities issued under the LTIP will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to a period in which such securities have been issued, along with details regarding approval for the issue of those securities which was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15.4, the below table discloses the details of securities issued to persons referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 under the LTIP since shareholders last approved the LTIP at the Company’s 31 March 2016 Extraordinary General Meeting:

6. Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
| Resolution 9 | Approval of 10% Placement Capacity |
|---|---|
| General | Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, every listed entity has the ability to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval in a 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible small and mid-cap ASX-listed entities, subject to shareholder approval, to issue Equity Securities of up to an additional 10% of their issued capital by way of placements over a 12 month period, in addition to their ability to issue Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (10% Placement Capacity). The Company seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 10% Placement Capacity. The effect of this resolution will be to allow the Directors, subject to the conditions set out below, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity without using the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 9 is aspecial resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person or by proxy) at the meeting must be in favour of this resolution for it to be passed. |
Mach7 Technologies Limited | Annual General Meeting 2016

| Eligibility | ASX-listed entities which have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less, and which are not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index will be considered eligible to seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. As at the date of this Notice, the Company, which has a market capitalisation of less than $300 million, is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index. Accordingly, the Company is considered eligible to seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Formula | The exact number of additional Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined by a formula set out ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as follows: (A x D) - E Where: Ais the number of ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement: plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2; plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months (there are presently no partly paid shares on issue in the Company); plus the number of shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity without shareholder approval; and less the number of shares cancelled in the previous 12 months. ‘A’ has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% Placement Capacity Dis 10%. Eis the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. |
|
| Conditions of issue under the 10% Placement Capacity |
There are a number of conditions applicable to the issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, including a limitation on the discount to prevailing market price at which they may be issued, and additional disclosure requirements. A summary of these conditions are as follows: (a) Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity can only be in a class of securities already quoted. At the date of this Notice, the Company only has one class of securities which are quoted, being ordinary shares. (b) The issue price of each Equity Security issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price (VWAP) for Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before either: i. the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or ii. if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued. |

-

Information to be provided to shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
The issue price of each Equity Security issued under the 10% Placement Capacity Minimum issue must be no less than 75% of the VWAP for Equity Securities in that class, calculated price over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before either:

-
ii. if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i), the date on which the Securities are issued.
Risk of dilution If Resolution 9 is approved by shareholders, any issue of Equity Securities under to shareholders the 10% Placement Capacity may present a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing shareholders, including the risk that:
-
the market price of the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the relevant issue date than on the date of the 2016 Annual General Meeting; and
-
the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing shareholders under various scenarios on the basis of:
-
an issue price of $0.047 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 6 October 2016; and
-
the variable ‘A’ being calculated as the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the date of this Notice:
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2,
-
plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that because fully paid in the 12 months,
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4,
-
oless the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months;
being 952,258,995 fully paid ordinary shares (on the assumption that the issues of shares the subject of Resolutions 6 and 7 are ratified and approved by shareholders).
The table also shows:

(a) two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased by 50% and 100%. The number of shares on issue in the Company may increase as a result of the issue of shares that do not require approval of shareholders (for example, pro-rata entitlement issues or scrip issues under takeover offers) or future placements of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 of up to 15% of issued capital that are approved at future general meetings of shareholders; and

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(a) the Company issues the maximum number of shares available under the 10% Placement Capacity;
-
(b) no options to acquire shares on issue in the Company are exercised and no performance shares are converted into ordinary shares;
-
(c) the 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue;
-
(d) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder as a result of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting;
-
(e) the table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and not under the 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
-
(f) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of shares; and
-
(g) the issue price is $0.047, being the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 6 October 2016.

| Period of validity | The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 7.1A Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 9 for the issue of the Equity |
|---|---|
| Securities will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders approve a transaction | |
| under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of | |
| activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking). | |
| Reason for issue | The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes: |
| of shares under | |
| 10% Placement | (a) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets, businesses or |
| Capacity | investments, in which event the Company will provide a valuation of the non- |
| cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or | |
| (b) cash consideration, the proceeds of which will be applied to fund the | |
| Company’s existing and future activities, appraisal of corporate opportunities, | |
| investment in new businesses (if any), the costs incurred in undertaking | |
| placement(s) of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.A and for general working | |
| capital. |
| The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules | |
|---|---|
| 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities. | |
| Allocation policy | The Company may not issue any or all of the Equity Securities for which approval is |
| given and may issue the Equity Securities progressively as the Company places the | |
| Equity Securities with investors. | |
| The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions | |
| at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The | |
| identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case | |
| basis having regard to factors such as: | |
| 1. fund raising options (and their viability) available to the Company at the | |
| relevant time; | |
| 2. the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company; | |
| 3. the financial situation of the Company and the urgency of the requirement | |
| for funds; and | |
| 4. advice from the Company’s corporate, financial, legal and broking advisers. | |
| The allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at | |
| the date of this Notice. It is intended that the allottees will be suitable professional | |
| and sophisticated investors, and other investors not requiring a disclosure document | |
| under section 708 of the Corporations Act, that are known to the Company and/or | |
| introduced by third parties. | |
| The allottees may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new | |
| shareholders, but the allottees will not be related parties of the Company. | |
| In the event that the shares under the 10% Placement Capacity are issued as | |
| consideration for the acquisition of businesses, assets or investments, it is likely that | |
| the allottees will be the vendors of such businesses, assets or investments. |
