EXPLANATORY INFORMATION
1. Financial statements and reports
At the Annual General Meeting, Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions and comment on the Directors' Report, Financial Statements and Independent Auditor's Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2015.
Shareholders who have elected not to receive a hard copy of the Company's 2015 Annual Report, can view or download a copy from the Company's website at www.maynepharma.com.
The Company's auditor will be present at the meeting and be available to answer questions as to the conduct of the audit and the auditor's report.
Shareholders should note that the sole purpose of tabling the Directors' Report, Financial Statements and Independent Auditor's Report of the Company at the Annual General Meeting is to provide Shareholders with the opportunity to ask questions or discuss matters arising from them. It is not the purpose of the meeting that the Directors' Report, Financial Statements and Independent Auditor's Report be accepted, rejected or modified in any way. Further, as it is not required by the Corporations Act, no resolution to adopt, receive or consider the Company's Directors' Report, Financial Statements and Independent Auditor's Report will be put to Shareholders at the meeting.
2. Resolutions 1 and 2 – Re-election of Directors
- (c) bring the completed and signed form with them to the relevant meeting.
Under rule 3.6 of the Company's constitution, at each annual general meeting one third (or if that is not a whole number, the whole number nearest to one third) of the Company's Directors (excluding Mr Scott Richards, the CEO and Managing Director) must retire from office and seek re-election.
Resolution 1 – Phil Hodges
Resolution 1 seeks approval for the re-election of Mr Phil Hodges as a Director with effect from the end of the Annual General Meeting.
Mr Phil Hodges was appointed to the Board on 15 November 2012.
Mr Phil Hodges has been involved in the pharmaceutical industry for over 30 years and founded the Metrics business in 1994. Since 1994, Mr Hodges has overseen the transition of Metrics from a start-up analytical laboratory with four employees to a speciality pharmaceutical company with a portfolio of niche generic products. Prior to starting Metrics, Mr Hodges spent 11 years at Burroughs Wellcome Co. (which became part of GlaxoSmithKline). In November 2012, Mayne Pharma acquired Metrics and Mr Hodges became an Executive Director of Mayne Pharma as well as continued to be the President of Metrics. Mr Hodges ceased his executive role

==> picture [191 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
on 31 December 2013 when he became a Non-Executive Director of Mayne Pharma.
Resolution 2 – Ian Scholes
Resolution 2 seeks approval for the re-election of Mr Ian Scholes as a Director with effect from the end of the Annual General Meeting.
The Board appointed Ian Scholes as a Director of the Company on 28 July 2006.
Mr Ian Scholes has extensive financial and corporate advisory experience, both in Australia and internationally. Mr Scholes has held senior roles within Merrill Lynch Australia, most recently as Vice Chairman of Investment Banking. Previously Mr Scholes has held the position of Executive General Manager at National Australia Bank Limited running their corporate and institutional banking division. Mr Scholes is currently a partner and Chief Executive Officer of Chord Capital Pty Ltd. Mr Scholes has previously held positions on the Board of St Vincent’s Health as Chairman of the St Vincent’s Foundation and was a former director of SDI Limited.
The Board (with the relevant Director in relation to his own re-election abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
3. Resolution 3 – Remuneration Report (non-binding advisory vote)
The Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 contains a Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Director’s Report and sets out the remuneration policy for the consolidated entity comprising the Company and its controlled entities and reports on the remuneration arrangements in place for its key management personnel (KMP).
The Remuneration Report includes information on the elements of remuneration that are performance based, the performance conditions that apply and the methodology used to assess satisfaction of those performance conditions.
The Board’s remuneration policy for KMP incorporates a strong element of remuneration linked to long-term Company performance. Following the abolition of the short-term incentives for the CEO, Group CFO and other KMP and select senior executives, all of the incentive component of their remuneration is now linked to the long-term success of the Company.
The vote on Resolution 3 to adopt the Remuneration Report relates to the Company’s remuneration policy and outcomes for the 2015 financial year.
The Corporations Act 2001 requires each listed company to put to a vote at its Annual General Meeting a nonbinding resolution to shareholders to adopt the Remuneration Report. Whilst under the legislation this vote will be advisory only, and does not bind the
Directors or the Company, the Directors recognise the vote as an indication of shareholder sentiment and have careful regard to the outcome of the vote and any discussion when setting the Company's remuneration policies.
A reasonable opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report will be provided at the meeting.
As a result of the provisions in the Corporations Act 2001 known generally as the ‘two strikes rule’, shareholders should note that the result of the vote on this resolution may impact the voting at the Annual General Meeting next year. If 25% or more of the votes cast on this resolution are against adoption of the 2015 Remuneration Report, this will be considered the ‘firststrike’. If a ‘second strike’ is cast against the 2016 Remuneration Report at next year’s Annual General Meeting, this will trigger a vote on a resolution to spill the Board. Consequently, the Directors (excluding the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director) may need to stand for re-election.
The Board, therefore, encourages shareholders to apply the same level of diligence in relation to voting on this resolution as they do with the binding resolutions.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
4. Long term remuneration for Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director
Resolution 4 - Issue of Shares to the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director under the ESLS
Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, shareholder approval is required in order for a Director to be issued securities under an employee incentive scheme. Accordingly, Shareholders are asked to approve the issue of Shares under the ESLS to the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mr Scott Richards.
The ESLS provides a non-recourse loan for the sole purpose of acquiring Shares in the Company. The ESLS allows the issue of shares to participants based on a percentage of fixed remuneration funded by a nonrecourse loan. The Shares vest over three years subject to the achievement of hurdles based on increases in shareholder wealth created over the period. Once vested, the shares remain restricted until the participant repays the loan. Issues will be made annually to participants.
The ESLS participants currently include the CEO, Group CFO, other KMP and select senior executives. All ESLS participants no longer receive short-term incentives and all the incentive component of their remuneration is now linked to the long-term success of the Company.
The Board believes that an equity-based long-term incentive is important to ensure an appropriate part of the executive’s reward is linked to generating long-term returns for Shareholders.

==> picture [191 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
Since the 2014 Annual General Meeting, Scott Richards received 3,823,529 at an issue price of $0.6815.
An overview of the ESLS offer to the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director is set out below. Further details of Mr Richards’ remuneration package and the operation of the ESLS are set out in the Remuneration Report of the 2015 Annual Report.
Date of If Shareholder approval is obtained it is allocation expected that the loan will be made and Shares will be allocated in December 2015, no later than 30 days after the AGM Key terms of The ESLS provides for a limitedloan recourse, interest free, five-year loan from the Company for the sole purpose of acquiring Shares.
Any dividends paid on the ESLS Shares while the ESLS Shares are restricted are applied (on a notional after-tax basis) towards repaying the loan. The balance of the dividend is paid directly to the participant to fund his or her tax liability on the dividends received.
Following the end of the applicable Performance Period, if the vesting conditions are met the ESLS Shares will vest and the participant will then have until the end of the five-year term to repay the loan.
As this is a limited-recourse loan, if the value of the ESLS Shares is less than the outstanding loan balance at the end of the loan period, the ESLS Shares will be surrendered and forfeited in full settlement of the loan balance.
The amount of Scott Richards' loan will be set by the application of a multiplication factor to the dollar amount of his ESLS participation (refer Number and price of Shares section below). The multiplication factor has been set at 3.02 times and is set with reference to the size of the loan required for the desired value creation opportunity under the ESLS.
Number and The value of Mr Richards’ annual ESLS price of participation is determined by Shares reference to a percentage of his fixed remuneration, currently 130%. In this current year the dollar amount of his ESLS participation is $1,040,000 and his loan to buy shares will be $3,140,800 (3.02 times the ESLS participation of $1,040,000).
The number of ESLS Shares allocated is determined by dividing the loan amount by the 5-day VWAP at grant date.
| Performance Conditions |
Shares will vest where an absolute total shareholder return (TSR) growth condition is met over the applicable period (three years) One half of the Shares will vest for compound annual absolute TSR growth of 5% per annum. All of the Shares will vest for compound annual absolute TSR growth of 10% per annum. Vesting will occur on a straight-line basis for performance between these two points (effectively 1% for each additional 0.1% of absolute TSR growth). The Board chose the absolute TSR growth targets to align executive reward with what the Board considers to be acceptable levels of return to Shareholders (ie between 5% and 10% compound annual growth) over the next three years. The Board considered the use of a relative performance condition but does not consider that there are a sufficient number of appropriate comparator pharmaceutical companies (ie of similar size) listed in Australia. |
|---|---|
| Performance Period |
The Shares will vest progressively over a three year period, with 20% vesting after 12 months, 30% after 24 months and the balance after 36 months, subject to the achievement of the TSR target. Given the inherent uncertainty regarding the timing of receiving regulatory approvals for new products, the Board has determined that it is appropriate that if the Shares do not vest at the end of the three-year performance period, the applicable performance conditions will be retested every six months until expiry of the five-year term of the loan. |
| Trading restrictions |
The ESLS Shares are restricted until the end of the vesting / performance periods and while the loan remains outstanding. |
| Cessation of employment |
In general, all ESLS Shares are forfeited and surrendered if the participant ceases employment prior to the end of the Performance Period. However, the Board has discretion to determine that some or all of a participant's ESLS Shares may vest in appropriate circumstances. |
Mayne Pharma has obtained a waiver from compliance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.15.2 which allows Mayne Pharma not to include in this Notice of Meeting the maximum number of ESLS Shares that will be
7
==> picture [191 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
notionally granted to Mr Richards on the basis that the Notice of Meeting sets out the method by which the number of ESLS Shares will be calculated.
The Board (with Mr Richards abstaining) considers the issue of Shares to the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director appropriate in all the circumstances and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
5. Resolution 5 – Increase in Maximum Aggregate Annual Remuneration Payable to Non-Executive Directors.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.17 and under rule 10.2 of the Company’s constitution, Shareholders must approve the maximum aggregate annual remuneration payable to Non-Executive Directors of the Company. This maximum amount includes Board fees, Committee fees and employer superannuation contributions. It does not include fees paid to Directors when providing services to the Company other than in their capacity as Directors, and does not apply to Executive Directors of the Company.
A full description of the Board’s approach to remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is set out in the Remuneration Report of the Company’s 2015 Annual Report.
The Company issued the following Shares to NonExecutive Directors under Listing Rule 10.11 with Shareholder approval in the last 3 years:
| Date of shareholder approval |
Non Executive Director |
Number of Shares issued |
Issue price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 Nov 2012 | Bruce Mathieson |
15,220,878 | $0.20 |
| 9 Nov 2012 | Roger Corbett |
1,676,319 | $0.20 |
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
Currently, the Non-Executive Directors of the Company are Roger Corbett, Ron Best, Bruce Mathieson, Ian Scholes, Phil Hodges and Bruce Robinson. For the financial year ended 30 June 2015 Non-Executive Directors received total cash payments, including superannuation contributions, of $556,104.
During FY15, independent remuneration consultant 3 degrees consulting Pty Ltd (3dc) reviewed the level of fees payable to Non-Executive Directors for competitiveness. The review took into account the following:
-
the increasing scale and complexity of the operations of Mayne Pharma as the Company grows and the resultant increase in the workload of Directors;
-
the fees payable to Directors of the companies comprising the ASX151-200; and
-
the need for Mayne Pharma Directors’ fees to be market competitive to be able to attract and retain Directors with the appropriate international experience to help guide the Company.
A maximum aggregate amount of annual remuneration for Non-Executive Directors of $700,000 was approved by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 27 November 2014.
The Directors consider it appropriate to propose an increase in the aggregate pool by $500,000 to $1,200,000 per annum at this time to provide sufficient margin to remunerate the Non-Executive Directors of the Company and any future Directors that may join the Board.
The new cap of $1,200,000 will make it possible for the Board to continue to pay fees to attract and retain the best Directors to the Board for the foreseeable future, while allowing, as appropriate, for increases in Board size and Director remuneration.
