EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum is to be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with an explanation of the business of the meeting and of the resolutions to be proposed and considered at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held on Friday, 25 October 2019 and to allow Shareholders to determine how they wish to vote on those resolutions.

Shareholders should read the Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Memorandum before deciding how to vote.

Capitalised terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum have the meanings given to them in the Glossary unless the context indicates otherwise.

Item 1 – Financial Statements and Reports

The Corporations Act requires that the Company’s financial report (which includes financial statements, notes to the financial statements and the directors’ declaration), the directors’ report and the auditor’s report be laid before the Annual General Meeting.

There is no requirement in either the Corporations Act or the Constitution for Shareholders to approve the financial report, the directors’ report or the auditor’s report.

A copy of the Annual Report has been provided to each Shareholder (as required) and is also available on the Company’s website: www.maxitrans.com.au. The Annual Report contains the financial report, the directors’ report and the auditor’s report.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions and make comments on these reports, and on the management of the Company, and to ask questions of the auditor.

Item 2 – Remuneration Report

Shareholders are asked to adopt the Company’s Remuneration Report. The Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2019 is set out in the Company’s Annual Report.

The Remuneration Report sets out:

  • the remuneration policies adopted by the Board;

  • the links between the remuneration policies adopted by the Board and the performance of the Company;

  • the remuneration details for each Director and key management personnel;

  • the different bases of remuneration paid to non-executive Directors and executive management; and

  • • information about performance-linked remuneration, including short term and long term incentives.

The Shareholder vote on the Remuneration Report is advisory only and will not bind the Company or its Directors. However, the Board will take into account any Shareholder discussions on this Resolution and the outcome of the vote when considering the future remuneration arrangements of the Company.

8

In accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act, known generally as the “two strikes rule", Shareholders should note that if 25% or more of the votes cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, a resolution will be put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting (a "spill" resolution) that, if passed, will require another meeting to be held within 90 days. At that meeting the Company's Directors (other than the Managing Director), who held office when it was resolved to put the Remuneration Report to the second annual general meeting and who wish to continue as a Director, must stand for re-election.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.

Item 3 – Re-election of Director – Ms Samantha Hogg

Pursuant to the Company’s Constitution, a non-executive Director must retire from office at the conclusion of the third annual general meeting after the Director was last elected. Directors are eligible for re-election.

Ms Samantha Hogg was first elected as a Director at the 2016 Annual General Meeting and is due to retire from office at the conclusion of the 2019 Annual General Meeting. Ms Hogg seeks re-election as a Director. Ms Hogg is Chair of the Audit & Risk Management Committee and a member of the Remuneration & Human Resources Committee and Nominations Committee.

Further details about Ms Hogg are set out in the Annual Report.

The Directors (except Ms Hogg) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Ms Hogg.

Item 4 – Re-election of Director – Ms Mary Verschuer

Pursuant to the Company’s Constitution, a Director who is elected to fill a casual vacancy must retire from office at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting after the Director was appointed. Directors are eligible for re-election.

Ms Mary Verschuer was elected as a Director by the Board on 24 January 2019 to fill a casual vacancy and is due to retire from office at the conclusion of the 2019 Annual General Meeting. Ms Verschuer seeks re-election as a Director. Ms Verschuer is a member of the Audit & Risk Management Committee, Remuneration & Human Resources Committee and Nominations Committee.

Further details about Ms Verschuer are set out in the Annual Report.

The Directors (except Ms Verschuer) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Ms Verschuer.

Item 5 – Grant of Performance Rights to the Managing Director

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, the Company must seek Shareholder approval to grant securities in the Company, including performance rights, to Mr Dean Jenkins, the Company's Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, under an employee incentive scheme. If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.14, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 for a proposed grant of performance rights, nor for Shares issued on exercise of the performance rights, to Mr. Jenkins.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval for the grant of performance rights to Mr. Jenkins under the Company's Performance Rights Plan.

A summary of the terms of the performance rights proposed to be granted to Mr. Jenkins is set out below. The performance rights are otherwise issued on the terms of the Performance Rights Plan which was approved by Shareholders in 2010. The Board has the discretion to waive or vary the terms of the Plan.

9

A performance right will, upon its vesting and exercise, entitle a holder to receive (either by way of issue or by transfer) one Share in the Company (subject to adjustments for capital actions in accordance with the Listing Rules and the terms of the Performance Rights Plan) which will rank equally with all other existing Shares.

Maximum number of
securities that may be
acquired by Mr Jenkins
and the formula for
calculating the number of
securities to be issued
1,118,568 performance rights.
The number of performance rights proposed to be granted to Mr Jenkins has been
calculated by using the ‘face value’ methodology – that is, by dividing the long term incentive
component of his annual remuneration ($333,333) by $0.2980, being the volume weighted
average price of MaxiTRANS shares during the first month of the three-year performance
period (July 2019).
Performance hurdles The performance rights will vest and be exercisable only if the performance hurdle attached
to the performance rights is satisfied.
The performance rights will be subject to a performance hurdle to achieve the average ROIC
over the last 3 years plus an increase in the Company's Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
at an average of 0.60% per annum over the period from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2022.
A sliding scale will apply for partial attainment of the performance hurdle. The minimum
target is 67% of the targeted improvement in ROIC that must be achieved before any of the
performance rights vest in the year ending 30 June 2022, at which point 50% of the
performance rights will vest. 100% of the performance rights will vest where the target ROIC
is fully achieved or exceeded.
Any unvested performance rights will lapse.
The price or formula for
calculating the price for
each security to be
acquired under the Plan
No price is payable by Mr Jenkins for the grant or exercise of the performance rights.
Exercise of performance
rights
Under the Plan Rules, vested performance rights may only be exercised during the period
commencing on the third anniversary of the grant date and ending on the seventh
anniversary of the grant date. Unexercised performance rights will lapse on their
expiry date.
In special circumstances, the Plan Rules permit an alternative exercise period to apply. For
example, where a holder of performance rights retires, dies, sustains a total and permanent
disability or is made redundant, the Board can determine that the performance hurdles be
waived and that the exercise period commence on the date the special circumstance arises
and end 90 days later.
Lapse of performance
rights
Under the Plan Rules, unvested performance rights lapse if a holder ceases to be an
employee of the MaxiTRANS group.
Unvested and vested performance rights will lapse immediately if the holder is dismissed
with cause, has committed an act of fraud, defalcation or gross misconduct in relation to the
MaxiTRANS group, or has committed a disreputable act.
The Plan Rules provide that vested performance rights will lapse:

six months after the date of termination of employment of the holder (other than in
special circumstances relating to the death, retirement, redundancy or total and
permanent disablement of the holder);

twelve months after the holder ceases employment as a result of special
circumstances; or

twelve months after the occurrence of a change of control in the Company.
Voting rights The performance rights do not carry any voting rights, but Mr Jenkins will be able to vote any
Shares that are provided on vesting and exercise of the performance rights.

10

The names of all
persons referred to in
Listing Rule 10.14 who
received securities under
the Plan since the last
approval
Mr Jenkins received 630,119 performance rights for nil consideration pursuant to the
Shareholder approval granted at the 2018 Annual General Meeting.
The names of all
persons referred to in
Listing Rule 10.14
entitled to participate in
the Plan
Mr Jenkins is the only person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 entitled to participate in
the Plan.
The terms of any loan in
relation to the acquisition
No loan will be made in relation to the acquisition of performance rights or the underlying
Shares by Mr Jenkins.
The date by which the
Company will issue the
securities
The performance rights will be issued within 12 months of the date of the meeting. It is
anticipated that the performance rights will be issued in November 2019.

The non-executive Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the resolution.
