4. Approval of issue of securities to Directors
| Resolution 3A: Approval of issue of Options to Michael Lampron | Resolution 3A: Approval of issue of Options to Michael Lampron |
|---|---|
| Explanation | Resolution 3A seeks shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of 750,000 options (Managing Director Options), each to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in the Company, to Mr Michael Lampron as Managing Director under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). Mr Lampron joined the Company as its Vice President of Services in March 2017. Shortly after joining, Mr Lampron was promoted to Chief Operating Officer. Upon the departure of the then CEO (Mr Jackman) in March 2019, Mr Lampron was appointed to the role of Interim CEO. On recognition of his performance, Mr Lampron was appointed to the Board as Managing Director on 24 June 2019. As part of this appointment, the Board approved a remuneration package for Mr Lampron that was commensurate with his role as Managing Director which was announced to the ASX on 29 August 2019. The award of 750,000 options on the terms outlined in this Explanatory Memorandum form part of that remuneration package and are hereby put to shareholders for approval. |
| Terms of Managing Director Options |
The Managing Director Options will be issued for nil consideration, and will each be exercisable into a Share at exercise prices as follows: • 250,000 options vesting 1 July 2020, with an exercise price equal to the greater of (i) the 5-day Volume Weighted Average Price of ASX:M7T (VWAP) on the date of grant and (ii) 80 cents. • 250,000 options vesting 1 July 2021, with an exercise price equal to the maximum of (i) 5-day VWAP at grant date + 15cents and (ii) $0.95. • 250,000 options vesting 1 July 2022, with an exercise price equal to the maximum of (i) 5-day VWAP at grant date + 30cents and (ii) $1.10. All Managing Director Options will expire on the fifth anniversary of the grant date of those Options. Any unvested Managing Director Options will lapse on the day that the Managing Director ceases to be an employee of the Company. |
| ASX Listing Rules |
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in the ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained. Accordingly, Resolution 3A seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 to allow the issue of the Managing Director Options to Michael Lampron as Managing Director under the Company’s 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 Listing Rule 10.14. If shareholder approval is given for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14, approval will not be required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and the Managing Director Options issued pursuant to Resolution 3A will not deplete the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. |

| Approval not sought under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act |
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties of a public company. For the purposes of Chapter 2E, the Directors are related parties 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. 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. Relevantly, one exception 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. For the reasons detailed above, in the view of the Board, the issue of the Managing Director Options constitutes “reasonable remuneration” and, as the provision of such benefits is expressly permitted by section 211(1) of the Corporations Act, the Board does not consider the Company is required to seek shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in order to give the Managing Director the financial benefit that is inherent in the issue to him of the Managing Director Options. |
|---|---|
| Disclosures made for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15 |
The only related parties who may participate in the LTIP are Directors of the Company. Under the LTIP, the Directors of the Company may issue shares, options or performance rights to the Directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and to their associated entities. 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 Managing Director Options to Mr Lampron. 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. In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15, which contains requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the following information is provided to shareholders: Name of recipient Mr Michael Lampron Maximum number of securities to be issued 750,000 Options.

| Resolutions 3B and 3C: Approval of issue of Options to Non-executive Directors | Resolutions 3B and 3C: Approval of issue of Options to Non-executive Directors |
|---|---|
| Explanation | Resolutions 3B and 3C seek shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 60,000 options (Director Options), being 35,000 to David Chambers and 25,000 to Eliot Siegel, as Non-Executive Directors. |
| Non-Executive Remuneration Framework |
The Board has recently reviewed its non-executive director remuneration framework. Under the latest non-executive director remuneration framework: the Non-Executive Chairman’s remuneration is $65,000 per annum; the remuneration of each other Non-Executive Director (at the time this framework was adopted) is $45,000 per annum; each Non-Executive Director will be issued with 25,000 Director Options annually, with the Chair receiving an additional 10,000 Director Options, which vest in equal one-third tranches on the first, second and third anniversaries of |

| the grant date of the Options, and expire on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. Any unvested Options will lapse on the day that the holder ceases to be a Director. All Director Options will be subject to shareholder approval. Each new director on appointment will be awarded 100,000 Director Options on similar terms as outlined in the third bullet point above and are subject to shareholder approval. Accordingly, Resolutions 3B and 3C seek shareholder approval for the Director Options pursuant to the director remuneration framework described above. |
|
|---|---|
| Terms of Director Options |
The Director Options will be issued for nil consideration, and will each be exercisable into a Share at an exercise price equivalent to the higher of the volume weighted average market price (VWAP) of Mach7 Shares on the ASX over the 30-day period up to and including the date of the Meeting, and the Closing Price on the date of issue, plus a 10% premium (Exercise Price). The options will vest in three equal tranches – 1/3 on the first anniversary following grant date; 1/3 on the second anniversary following grant date; and 1/3 on the third anniversary following grant date. All Director Options will expire on the fifth anniversary of the grant date of those Options. Any unvested Director Options will lapse on the day that the relevant holder ceases to be a Director of the Company. |
| ASX Listing Rules |
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval prior to the issue of securities to a related party of the company. Mr Chambers and Dr Siegel, as Directors, are related parties of the Company by virtue of section 228(2) of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Resolutions 3B and 3C seek shareholder approvals under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 to allow the issue of the Director Options to each Non-Executive Director. If shareholder approval is given for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and the Director Options issued pursuant to Resolutions 3B and 3C will not deplete the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. |
| Approval not sought under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act |
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties of a public company. For the purposes of Chapter 2E, the Directors are related parties 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. 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. Relevantly, one exception 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. For the reasons detailed above, in the view of the Board, the issue of the Director Options constitutes “reasonable remuneration” and, as the provision of such benefits is expressly permitted by section 211(1) of the Corporations Act, the Board does not consider the Company is required to seek shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in order to give the Non-Executive Directors the financial benefit that is inherent in the issue to them of the Director Options. |

5. Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
| Resolution 4 | 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 Company, 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 4 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. |
| 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. |

| 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. |

| Risk of dilution to shareholders |
If Resolution 4 is approved by shareholders, any issue of Equity Securities under 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 2019 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 $0.54 per Share, which was the closing price of the Company’s Shares on the ASX on 26 September 2019; and the variable ‘A’ being calculated as the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice, being 150,304,401. 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 (b) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100%.

| (d) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular | ||||

| 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; | ||||
| (f) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only | ||||

| (g) the issue price is $0.54, being the closing price of the Company’s Shares on | the | |||
| ASX on 26 September 2019. |

|
|---|---|
| Period of validity | The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement |
| Period. | |
| The approval under Resolution 4 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. |
Mach7 Technologies Limited | Annual General Meeting 2019
18 | P a g e
| 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. Any shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will rank equally with all other existing shares on issue in the Company. |

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 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 7.1A permits Eligible 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 (Additional 10% Placement Capacity). Shareholders approved an Additional 10% Placement Capacity by special resolution at the Company’s AGM held on 12 November 2018. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to the limitations on the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, 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 Capacityor |

| 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 25% of the issued capital of the Company under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The Directors consider it to be appropriate and prudent for approval to be sought at the Meeting in respect of the relevant issues of Equity 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. On the basis of the above, the Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5. |
