Notice of Annual General Meeting

Annual Report

Monash IVF Group Annual Report is accessible via the website www.monashivfgroup.com

Eligibility to Attend and Vote

For the purpose of attending or voting at the AGM, shares will be taken to be held by the persons who are registered holders at 7.00pm (AEDT) on Wednesday 22 November 2017. Accordingly, share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the AGM.

Voting by Proxy

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), a shareholder may attend the AGM and vote in person or may appoint a proxy to attend and vote on the shareholder’s behalf.

A member who is entitled to attend but prefers to use a proxy vote may appoint no more than two proxies. If two proxies are appointed the proportion of votes each proxy is entitled to exercise must be specified. If no proportion or vote number is specified, each proxy may exercise half the number of votes.

A proxy does not need to be a Shareholder. A body corporate appointed as a member’s proxy may appoint a representative to exercise any of the powers the body may exercise as a proxy at the AGM. The representative must bring to the AGM a properly executed letter or other document confirming that they are authorised to act as the Corporate shareholder’s representative.

If a Shareholder has not directed the proxy on how to vote, the proxy may vote as the proxy deems fit, and similarly if the Shareholder appoints the Chair of the AGM as proxy but does not direct the Chair on how to vote on an item, the Chair will vote in accordance with his voting intention as stated, namely in favour of each of the proposed resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting.

To be effective, the proxy form (and, if the appointment is signed by the appointer’s attorney, the authority under which it was signed or a certified copy of the authority) must be received by the Company’s share registry, Link Market Services Limited by no later than 48 hours prior to the commencement of the Annual General Meeting (2.00pm (AEDT) Wednesday 22 November 2017).

Proxy voting by the Chair

The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of all proposed resolutions. In the event that there is a change to the Chairman’s intention to vote it will be announced on the Monash IVF Group website before the AGM. The Chairman’s decision on how to vote on all occasions is conclusive.

Where the Chair is appointed as a Shareholder’s proxy on Item 2, 4 and 5 (or he becomes your proxy by default) and the Shareholder has not specified the way in which the Chair is to vote on Item 2, 4 and 5, the Shareholder is directing the Chair to vote in accordance with the Chair’s voting intentions for these items of business.

Corporate Representatives

A corporation may elect to appoint an individual to act as its representative in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) in which case the Company will require a Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative executed in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The Certificate must be lodged with the Company before the AGM or at the registration desk on the day of the AGM. The Company will retain the certificate.

Explanatory Notes continued

Item 3

In accordance with the Company’s constitution an election of Directors must occur at every Annual General Meeting. The following two Directors have offered themselves for re-election:

3a Re-election of Mr Richard Davis (Non-Executive Director)

Mr Richard Davis joined the Group in June 2014 and is currently serving as a non-executive director of ASX listed companies, InvoCare Limited and Australian Vintage Limited (and Chairman of Australian Vintage).

Richard worked for InvoCare for 20 years until 2008. For the majority of that time he held the position of CEO and managed the growth of that business through a number of ownership changes and over 20 acquisitions, including offshore in Singapore.

Prior to InvoCare Limited, Richard worked in venture capital and as an accounting partner of Bird Cameron. Richard holds a Bachelor of Economics from the University of Sydney.

The Directors (other than Mr Davis) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Item 3a.

3b Re-election of Dr Richard Henshaw (Executive Director)

Dr Richard Henshaw has practiced in the field of reproductive medicine in both the United Kingdom and Australia for the past 23 years.

Richard works as a Fertility Specialist for the Group and is the National Medical Director of Repromed. He previously worked for Monash IVF in Victoria.

Richard has served as Chairman of the IVF Medical Directors of Australia and New Zealand, and also on the Reproductive Technology Accreditation Technical Committee, which reviews the regulatory regime in place in Australia and New Zealand.

The Directors (other than Dr Henshaw) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Item 3b.

Item 4

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that shareholder approval is required for an issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the entity during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Exception 9 of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 allows the Company to issue securities without shareholder approval and without reducing the 15% capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 where the securities are issued under an employee incentive scheme within 3 years of shareholder approval of that scheme.

Item 4 is being put to Shareholders for the Equity Incentive Plan to be approved by Shareholders for the purposes of Exception 9 of ASX Listing Rule 7.2.

Summary of Equity Incentive Plan

A summary of the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan is set out in Annexure A.

Additional information

No equity securities have been issued under the Equity Incentive Plan.

The Directors (other than Mr James Thiedeman and Dr Richard Henshaw) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Item 4.

Explanatory Notes continued

Voting exclusions

Item 4 is a resolution connected directly with the remuneration of members of the KMP of the Company (including directors who are employees of the Company and eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan).

In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, any votes cast in any capacity on item 4 by a director (other than one who is ineligible to participate in any employee incentive scheme of the company), and any of their associates, will be disregarded.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, a vote cast as proxy on item 4 by any other members of the KMP eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan and closely related parties of members of those KMP will be disregarded.

However, the Company need not disregard the vote as a result of these restrictions if it is cast:

  • (a) as a proxy for a person entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form; or

  • (b) by the Chairman of the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote and the Chairman has received express authority to vote undirected proxies as the Chairman sees fit.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies (where the Chairman has been appropriately authorised) in favour of item 4.

Item 5

In accordance with clause 50(a) of the Company’s Constitution, and subject to ASX Listing Rule 10.17, the Company may pay or provide fees to the Non-Executive Directors which does not in any financial year exceed the amount determined by the Company in general meeting (or until so determined, as determined by the Board) ( Pool Limit ). The current Pool Limit is $750,000.

Item 5 is being put to Shareholders to increase the Pool Limit by $200,000 to $950,000 ( Proposed Pool Limit ), with the increase to take effect on and from the date this resolution is passed and to apply pro rata to the financial year ending 30 June 2018.

The Pool Limit has remained unchanged since 2015, when the Company’s shares were quoted on the ASX.

Most remuneration that is paid to Non-Executive Directors is taken into account for the purposes of the Pool Limit, including superannuation contributions for the benefit of a Non-Executive Director and any fees which a Non-Executive Director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits. However, reimbursement of genuine out-of-pocket expenses (such as travel and accommodation expenses in attending Board meetings) and fees for special exertions for the benefit of the Company paid in accordance with the Company constitution, are not taken into account for the purposes of the Pool Limit.

Details of the remuneration paid to Non-Executive Directors for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 are set out in the Company’s Remuneration Report. No securities have been issued to a Non-Executive Director under ASX Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 with the approval of the Company’s shareholders at any time during the preceding 3 years.

The Board considers that the proposed increase in the Pool Limit will provide the Company with greater flexibility in providing remuneration for Non-Executive Directors that is consistent with current market based payments. In particular, the Company expects that an increased Pool Limit will enable it to:

  • (a) maintain market competitiveness by enabling future increases to be made to the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors;

  • (b) maintain a sufficient reserve in the Pool Limit in order to continue to attract new and appropriately skilled and qualified Non-Executive Directors to the Company; and

  • (c) recruit high calibre Non-Executive Directors to fill any casual vacancies which arise on the Board from time to time.

The Directors (other than the Non-Executive Directors) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Item 5. Each Non-Executive Director abstains from making a recommendation given their personal interest in Item 5. The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies (where the Chairman has been appropriately authorised) in favour of item 5.

  • by the Chairman of the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote and the Chairman has received express authority to vote undirected proxies as the Chairman sees fit.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies (where the Chairman has been appropriately authorised) in favour of item 5.
