Notice of General Meeting

Melbourne, Australia; 29 June 2018: Mach7 Technologies Limited ( Mach7 or the Company ) (ASX:M7T) today announced it will be holding a General Meeting for shareholders on Tuesday, 31 July 2018, 9.30am, at RSM, Level 21, 55 Collins Street, Melbourne 3000.

The primary purpose of the meeting is for shareholders to consider a proposed resolution to make certain changes to the CEO’s currently held long-term incentives. The proposal is to swap a portion of his performance rights (2.275 million) for 4.2 million options. Included in this swap are performance rights that are due to vest 1 August 2018, hence the Board is seeking shareholder approval before this date.

The proposed options will carry various exercise prices including market price on the day of grant (1 August 2018) and higher exercise prices of 40c, 50c, 60c and $1. The options carry various vesting dates and will expire if not exercised within four years from grant date. The performance rights, on the other hand, convert to ordinary shares for no consideration, vest automatically in two tranches only, and do not expire. The increase in the number of options being proposed compared to the performance rights being cancelled recognises the tougher hurdles being imposed with respect to the exercise prices, vesting dates and the expiry date, and has been determined with reference to a Black-Scholes valuation model.

Importantly, the break-even share price required for the CEO to be in a neutral position as a result of the changes in this proposed resolution is 70 cents. This means the share price of Mach7 has to reach 70 cents before the option package becomes at least as valuable as the performance rights being given up.

The Board and CEO believe that the options provide better alignment with shareholders, and create an even stronger incentive for the CEO to grow the Company. Options are also the Company’s preferred long-term incentive security for other staff members, so this proposal creates better alignment with staff.

In addition to the CEO incentive plan changes, the Company is also proposing to shareholders to approve the long-term incentive plan which the options will be awarded under, and to ratify two previous share placements.

Mach7 Technologies Limited | General Meeting 8 | P a g e

Background

On 29 August 2017, soon after joining the Company, Mr Mike Jackman was issued 7,094,832 performance rights, in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement ( Performance Rights ).

The Performance Rights vest into fully paid ordinary shares (on a 1-for-1 basis) in 13 tranches, subject to continuous employment, as outlined in the table below:

Table 1: Performance Rights Issued

Tranche Performance
Rights
Granted
Vesting Date Status
Tranche 1 295,618 1-11-17 Vested – converted

Tranche 7 295,618 1-05-19 Unvested
Tranche 8 1,478,090 1-08-19 Unvested
Tranche 9 295,618 1-11-19 Unvested
Tranche 10 295,618 1-02-20 Unvested
Tranche 11 295,618 1-05-20 Unvested
Tranche 12 295,618 1-08-20 Unvested
Tranche 13 1,182,472 * Unvested
Total 7,094,832

*The final tranche of 1,182,472 Performance Rights were to vest subject to prescribed performance based conditions, which were to be tested over the same three-year period.

The Performance Rights were issued as the CEO’s long term incentive for nil cash consideration. The Performance Rights themselves are not quoted on the ASX, however, the Company will apply for quotation of any underlying Shares issued to the CEO upon vesting of the Performance Rights. The underlying Shares will rank equally with all other ordinary shares then on issue in the Company.Listing

Recommendation for shareholder approval

The Directors believe that it would be more appropriate, and better aligned to shareholders interests, if the CEO’s long term incentive package included a mixture of both performance rights and options. The options proposed would have exercise prices equal to the share price of Mach7 Technologies Ltd on grant date, and also higher exercise prices, to ensure the CEO is appropriately incentivised to increase shareholder value. The Directors are therefore recommending that the annual tranches of Performance Rights (tranches 4 and 8 above) be largely replaced with options as outlined in Table 2.

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.

Mach7 Technologies Limited | General Meeting 9 | P a g e

Shareholder approval is therefore being sought for the issue of 4,200,000 options, as replacement for certain unvested Performance Rights, as outlined in the table below:

Proposed new vesting dates (as explained further below)

  • At market on grant date, which will be the higher of the 5-day VWAP up to and including grant date and the closing share price of M7T:AX on grant date.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 6.23.2, the cancelling of the unvested Performance Rights in the circumstances referred to above requires shareholder approval.

Additionally, it is being proposed that the vesting dates for those Performance Rights which are retained and were originally to occur in the months of August (tranches 4, 8 and 12) and February (tranches 6 and 10), being a total of 1,102,194 Performance Rights, be changed to September and March respectively, such that vesting follows the release of the Company’s full year and half year results. This change would result in the relevant vesting dates being delayed by one month each.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 6.23.4, a change to the terms of the Performance Rights which is not prohibited under Listing Rule 6.23.3 can only be made with shareholder approval.

The following factors have been considered in determining the number, exercise prices, and vesting and expiry dates of the CEO Options proposed:

  • the value of both the performance rights being cancelled and options being proposed, using a Black Scholes valuation model;

  • the breakeven share price for the CEO to be in the same position as if he had kept the performance rights. This has been calculated at 70c per share. This means, at a share price of 70c or less, the CEO would be better off keeping the performance rights. At a share price greater than 70c per share, the CEO would be better off with the options proposed;

    • the tax consequences of both securities; and - the impact to the Company’s share-based payments expense going forward

Mach7 Technologies Limited | General Meeting 10 | P a g e

==> picture [98 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

After considering all of those factors, the Board and CEO believe the Options proposed is a fair swap for the performance rights being cancelled.

Disclosures made The only related parties who may participate in the LTIP are Directors of the for the purposes Company. Under the LTIP, the Directors of the Company may issue shares, options of ASX Listing and/or performance rights to the Directors and employees of the Company and its Rule 10.15 subsidiaries.

There is currently no proposal by the Directors to issue any securities under the LTIP to any Director or their 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 CEO Options to Mr Jackman.

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 additional information is provided to shareholders with respect to Resolution 3:

drive a high performance culture by setting challenging objectives and
rewarding high performing employees; and

of shares, or securities convertible into shares, representing more than 15% of the
issued capital of that company in any rolling 12 month period.
