1. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
1.1 General
In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' report contains the Remuneration Report, which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the Key Management Personnel. Copies of the Annual Report are available by contacting the Company’s share registry or visiting the Company’s website www.mindax.com.au.
In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report. However, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director, if any, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive AGMs.
Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive AGMs, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second AGM a resolution ( Spill Resolution ) on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2020 AGM. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2022 AGM, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.
1.2 Voting on the Remuneration Report
In accordance with the Corporations Act, a vote on this Resolution must not be cast (in any capacity) by or on behalf of either the following persons:
-
(a) a member of the Key Management Personnel, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report; or
-
(b) a Closely Related Party of such a member.
However, a person (the voter) described above may cast a vote on this Resolution as a proxy if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described above and either:
-
(a) the voter is appointed as a proxy by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on this Resolution; or
-
(b) the voter is the Chair and the appointment of the Chair as proxy:
-
(i) does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on this Resolution; and
-
(ii) expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

Mindax Limited - Annual General Meeting 10 November 2021
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.
1.3 Directors’ recommendation
Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Statement and the Remuneration Report, all of the Directors consider that Resolution 1 is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Mr Kgai (Eric) Loh was appointed as a non-executive Director on 28 March 2012. The Board considers Mr Loh to be an independent Director.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.4, no director of the Company may hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever period is longer. The Company’s Constitution also requires that one third of the Directors (other than the managing director, if any) retire from office at each AGM (rounded up).
These requirements for a Director to retire do not apply to a managing director, if any. The Company currently has five Directors and accordingly two must retire.
Accordingly, Mr Kgai (Eric) Loh will retire by rotation at this Meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election. Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders entitled to vote on it.
Information on the skills and experience of Mr Kgai (Eric) Loh is set out in the Annual Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021.
2.2 Directors’ recommendation
Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Statement, all of the Directors consider that Resolution 2 is in the best interests of the Company, as Mr Loh has a wealth of experience and expertise which is valuable to the Company. All the Directors, except Mr Loh, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
3. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR YONGGANG LI
3.1 General

Mindax Limited - Annual General Meeting 10 November 2021

4. RESOLUTION 4 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR BENJAMIN CHOW
4.1 General
Clause 13.4 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, as long as the appointment of an additional Director does not cause the Company to exceed the maximum number of Directors specified by the Constitution. Clause 13.1 of the Constitution allows for up to 9 Directors.
Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.
Mr Benjamin Chow was appointed to Chair the Board of Directors on 4 February 2021. As Mr Chow is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer the Board does not consider Mr Chow to be an independent Director.

To facilitate such participation, voting on each Resolution will occur by a poll rather than a show of hands.
A live webcast and electronic voting via www.advancedshare.com.au/virtual-meeting will be offered to allow Shareholders to listen to the Meeting and vote online.
Please refer to the Meeting ID and Shareholder ID on the proxy form to login to the website. The Meeting portal will be open to ask questions prior to the Meeting.

This form shows your address as it appears on Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes.
APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY
If you wish to appoint the Chair as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.
DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING
If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chair of the Meeting.
VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any resolution by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid.
PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
If you wish to appoint a Director (other than the Chair) or other member of the Company’s key management personnel, or their closely related parties, as your proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Resolution 1 by marking the appropriate box. If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for Resolution 1.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct them how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chair may vote as they see fit on that resolution.
