EXPLANATORY NOTES
These Explanatory Notes are an explanation of, and contain information about, the Resolutions to be considered at the Nanosonics Limited ( Nanosonics or the Company ) Annual General Meeting ( AGM or the Meeting ) to be held on Monday, 18 November 2019 and are to assist shareholders to determine how they wish to vote on the Resolutions. It forms part of the accompanying Notice of AGM and should be read in conjunction with it.
Item of Business – 2019 Reports
This item of business relates to the consideration of the Company’s Financial Report, including the Directors’ and Auditor’s Reports, for the year ended 30 June 2019, and gives the shareholders the opportunity to ask questions or make comments concerning these Reports during the Meeting. A copy of the 2019 Annual Report is available on the Company’s website at www.nanosonics.com.au in the Investor Centre section or may be requested from the Company Secretary. There is no requirement for a formal resolution on this item.
Resolution 1 – Re-election of a Director – Maurie Stang
Mr Maurie Stang was Executive Director and Chairman of Nanosonics from November 2000 to March 2007, and has been Non-Executive Director and Chairman since March 2007. He has more than two decades of experience building and managing companies in the healthcare and biotechnology industry in Australia and internationally. Mr Stang’s strong business development, marketing skills and experience have resulted in the successful commercialisation of intellectual property across global markets. He co-founded and is a director of a number of leading healthcare distribution and biotechnology companies. Mr Stang has a track record of launching and commercialising a broad range of medical and dental devices worldwide, and his associated domain industry knowledge continues to make a significant and ongoing contribution to the Board and all aspects of the business and in particular its strategic growth agenda. The term of office currently served by Mr Stang is 19 years. The Board does not consider him to be an independent Director, as he is a founder of the Company, he held executive office in the Company until March 2007, he is a major shareholder of the Company and he is a director and/or shareholder of companies with which the Company had significant transactions and commercial associations on an arm’s length basis (as previously disclosed at page 89 of the 2019 annual report). He is a Non-Executive Director of Vectus Biosystems Limited (ASX:VBS) and the Non-Executive Chairman of Aeris Environmental Ltd (ASX:AEI). Under the Company’s Constitution, Mr Stang retires by rotation and, being eligible, wishes to stand for re-election.
Directors’ Recommendation:
The Board, excluding Mr Stang, recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.
Resolution 2 – Re-election of a Director – Dr David Fisher
Dr David Fisher is a Non-Executive Director of Nanosonics and was appointed as a Director on 30 July 2001. He is considered to be an Independent Director. He served as interim Executive Director for the period 14 December 2007 to 16 June 2008. For the period 9 May 2011 to 29 March 2013, Dr Fisher served as Managing Director of Aeris Environmental Ltd where Mr Maurie Stang is the Non-Executive Chairman and a substantial shareholder. However, the Board is of the opinion that neither this, nor the fact that Dr David Fisher has been a Director of the Company for 18 years, compromises his ability to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board. In forming this opinion, the Board has considered the factors relevant to assessing the independence of a director provided in Box 2.3 of ASX’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations and Dr Fisher’s valuable contribution to the Board due to his broad healthcare industry experience and knowledge. Under the Company’s Constitution, Dr Fisher retires by rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Directors’ Recommendation:
The Board, excluding Dr Fisher, recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.
Resolution 3 – Election of a Director – Mr Geoff Wilson
Mr Geoff Wilson was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of Nanosonics in July 2019. He is considered to be an Independent Director. Mr Wilson brings to Nanosonics a strong background in local and international executive leadership and director experience together spanning more than 37 years. He has a strong background in finance, audit and risk management, as well as in Asia Pacific markets. Mr Wilson is currently a director of TOLL Holdings Limited, HSBC Bank Australia Limited, Future Generation Global Investment Company Limited, iSCAPE Pty Limited and Sydney Symphony Limited. He is also an Ambassador for the Australian Indigenous Education Fund. Under the Company’s Constitution and Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) Listing Rule 14.4, Mr Wilson, who was appointed since the 2018 AGM, will retire as a Director and, being eligible, offers himself for election.
Directors’ Recommendation:
The Board, excluding Mr Wilson, recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.
Resolution 4 – Remuneration Report
The Company’s Remuneration Report is required to be considered for adoption in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The Remuneration Report is contained in the Directors’ Report of the Annual Report. The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and non-binding. The Resolution gives the shareholders the opportunity to ask questions or make comments concerning the Remuneration Report during the AGM. Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), if 25% or more of votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (a spill resolution) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) will have ceased to hold office immediately beforehand but may submit themselves for re-election. The Board encourages all shareholders to cast their votes in favour of this Resolution.
Directors’ Recommendation:
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. Voting exclusions apply.
Resolution 5 – Issue of 19,547 Performance Rights to the Chief Executive Officer and President, Mr Michael Kavanagh, under the 2019 Short Term Incentive (2019
STI)
Shareholder approval is sought for 19,547 Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Michael Kavanagh under the Nanosonics Omnibus Equity Plan ( Omnibus Plan ) under the terms of the 2019 STI. As explained below, the 2019 STI has already been earned by Mr Kavanagh and fifty percent of his 2019 STI has been paid in cash. The balance of Mr Kavanagh’s 2019 STI will, subject to this resolution being passed, be awarded as Performance Rights, which will vest on 31 August 2020 at which time they will be automatically exercised into shares and held in a holding lock as restricted shares for a further 12 months until 31 August 2021. A Service Condition will apply until the Vesting Date.
Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, an issue of securities to a director under an employee incentive scheme is required to be approved by shareholders. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14 further provides that if approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 is obtained, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This means that the issue of securities to Mr Kavanagh will not be included in the Company’s annual 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

In respect of the 2019 STI, the Board set four Company Performance Objectives that were financial and operational in nature designed to strengthen alignment between management and shareholder objectives. In addition to the Company Performance Objectives, the CEO was required to achieve Individual Performance Objectives that were set by the Board. The Board determined that the Company achieved 85% of the Company Performance Objectives, and Mr Kavanagh achieved 100% of the Individual Performance Objectives, resulting in an overall achievement of 85% of Mr Kavanagh’s 2019 STI. Additional detail in respect of the 2019 STI outcomes is set out in section 4.3 of the 2019 Remuneration Report.
Mr Kavanagh is the only Director entitled to participate in the Omnibus Plan.
The last approval from shareholders under the STI was obtained at the 2018 AGM held on 9 November 2018 for the proposed issue of Performance Rights for nil cash consideration and with a nil exercise price to Mr Kavanagh. Since that last approval, 33,003 Performance Rights were issued to Mr Kavanagh. Of these, 16,502 Performance Rights have vested with a further 16,501 Performance Rights due to vest on 31 August 2020.
Details of Mr Kavanagh’s other remuneration entitlements and his interests in the Company’s securities can be found in the explanatory notes to Resolution 6 and on pages 42 to 45 of the 2019 Remuneration Report.
The Performance Rights will be granted under, and subject to, the Omnibus Plan, the key terms of which are provided below. The specific terms of the 2019 STI grant to Mr Kavanagh are also set out below.
2019 STI terms
| 2019 STI terms | |

Each vested Performance Right, if any, will convert into one ordinary share on exercise. Accordingly, the maximum number of shares that may be acquired by Mr Kavanagh is 19,547 shares. |

| Exercise price | The Performance Rights have a nil exercise price. |

Change of control
Where:
-
(a) a takeover bid is made for the Company and the Board recommends acceptance of that bid by the Company's shareholders;
-
(b) a Court orders that a meeting of shareholders of the Company be held to consider a scheme of arrangement between the Company and its shareholders; or
-
(c) the Board determines that some other transaction has occurred, or is likely to occur, which involves a change of control of the Company,

Further information about the terms of the Omnibus Plan is provided in the Explanatory Notes for Resolution 7 below.
Directors’ recommendation
The Board, excluding Mr Kavanagh, recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution. Voting exclusions apply.
Resolution 6 – Issue of 178,914 Options and 12,910 Performance Rights to the Chief Executive Officer and President, Mr Michael Kavanagh, under the 2019 LongTerm Incentive (2019 LTI)
Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of 178,914 Options and 12,910 Performance Rights under the Omnibus Plan to Mr Michael Kavanagh under the terms of the 2019 LTI.
As noted above, under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, an issue of securities to a director under an employee incentive scheme is required to be approved by shareholders. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14 further provides that if approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 is obtained, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This means that the issue of securities to Mr Kavanagh will not be included in the Company’s annual 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Background
For the 2018 Long Term Incentive ( 2018 LTI ), the Company adopted an Absolute Compound Annual Growth Rate Total Shareholder Return ( Absolute CAGR TSR ) performance hurdle, with an accretive profit before tax gate ( PBT Gate ).
The performance measures used for the Company’s LTI plan are reviewed annually by the Board. The structure of the 2019 LTI remains unchanged with an Absolute CAGR TSR and a PBT Gate. In setting the threshold and target for the 2019 LTI Absolute CAGR TSR, the Board has ensured that the target is consistent with historical top quartile market performance for ASX 50-150 companies over the last 3 years.
Page 9
2019 Annual General Meeting
Nanosonics Limited ACN 095 076 896
==> picture [126 x 39] intentionally omitted <==
In adopting an Absolute CAGR TSR consistent with the top quartile of the above comparator group, the Board has also taken into consideration the recent significant growth in the Company’s share price and the price/earnings ratio. A baseline volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of $6.51 has been used for the 2019 LTI. This exceeds the target for 100% vesting of the 2018 LTI being the equivalent of $5.95 with a Vesting Date of 30 September 2021.
Mr Kavanagh’s remuneration and shareholdings
The 2019 LTI grant of Options and Performance Rights represents 60% of Mr Kavanagh’s base remuneration for the 2019-20 financial year.
Mr Kavanagh’s other remuneration entitlements for the 2019-20 financial year are as follows:
-
Total Fixed Remuneration: $721,003 (base remuneration $700,000 and superannuation $21,003); and
-
Short-Term Incentive: Up to $350,000 at Target (100% of base STI opportunity) and $525,000 at Maximum (150% of base STI opportunity).
Mr Kavanagh currently owns, or has a beneficial interest in, the following securities of the Company at the date of this Notice of AGM:
| Security | How held | Number |
|---|---|---|
| Shares | Direct | 1,018,363 |
| Performance Rights | Under the Nanosonics Employee Share Option Plan |
206,882 |
| Performance Rights | Under the Omnibus Plan | 167,287 |
| Options | Under the Omnibus Plan | 838,615 |
Mr Kavanagh is the only Director entitled to participate in the Omnibus Plan.
The last approval from shareholders was sought and obtained at the 2018 AGM held on 9 November 2018 for the proposed issue of 286,885 Options and 20,900 Performance Rights to Mr Michael Kavanagh. These Options and Performance Rights were issued after approval at the 2018 AGM, pursuant to the Omnibus Plan for no cash consideration, are subject to performance and service vesting conditions, and have a vesting date of 30 September 2021. The Options have an exercise price of $3.442 and the Performance Rights have no exercise price. All remain on issue at the date of this Notice of AGM. No further securities were issued to Mr Kavanagh since the date of the last approval.
The Options and Performance Rights will be granted under, and subject to, the Omnibus Plan, the key terms of which are set out above in relation to Resolution 5, with further information provided in the Explanatory Notes to Resolution 7.

2019 LTI terms
| Maximum value and number of securities |
For the 2019 LTI, Mr Kavanagh can elect to receive a combination of Performance Rights and Options, provided a minimum of 20% of the value of the award is received as Performance Rights and a minimum of 20% of the value of the award is received as Options. The value and number of Performance Rights and Options Mr Kavanagh has elected will form part of the 2019 LTI are summarised below: Instrument Value $ Proportion % Number Options 336,000 80% 178,914 Performance Rights 84,000 20% 12,910 Total 420,000 100% 191,824 Each vested Option and Performance Right, if any, will be converted to one ordinary share on exercise. Accordingly, the maximum number of shares that may be acquired by Mr Kavanagh 191,824 shares. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Issue price | The Options and Performance will be granted to Mr Kavanagh for nil consideration. | |
| Exercise price | The Options will have an exercise price of $6.5067. The Performance Rights have a nil exercise price. |
|
| Measurement Period |
From the date of release of the 2019 financial results to the date of release of the 2022 financial results. The Absolute CAGR TSR will be calculated based on the VWAP of the shares in the Company a month from and including the date of the release of the Company’s 30 June 2019 results compared to the VWAP of the shares in the Company in the month from (and including) the date of the announcement of the Company’s 30 June 2022 financial results. |
|
| Performance Conditions – PBT Gate and Absolute CAGR TSR target |
The 2019 LTI is subject to a PBT Gate and an Absolute CAGR TSR Performance Condition as detailed below: PBT Gate The Board has set an accretive PBT Gate for the 2019 LTI. An assessment will be made at the end of the Measurement Period and if the average profit before tax (PBT) of the Company for each of the three financial years of the Measurement Period is greater than the PBT of the Company in the financial year ending 30 June 2019, the gate will open. If the PBT Gate does not open, the Performance Condition will be deemed to have not been met, regardless of the Company’s performance against the Absolute CAGR TSR set out below. Absolute CAGR TSR The Board has determined that the 2019 LTI grant will be subject to an Absolute CAGR TSR hurdle with targets set by the Board. The proportion of Options and Performance Rights that will become exercisable will depend upon the Company’s Absolute CAGR TSR at the end of the Measurement Period compared to the Board targets. The level of performance required for each level of vesting, and the percentage of Options and Performance Rights that vest at each level of performance, is set out in the table below. For th reasons set out above, the Board considers that the Absolute CAGR TSR target identified below is appropriately challenging. |

Vesting of Options and Performance Rights is in the proportions summarised below:

Resolution 8 – Adoption of the Nanosonics Global Employee Share Plan
Background
In recognition of the Company’s global operations, the Board has adopted the Nanosonics Global Employee Share Plan (the Global Plan ). The Global Plan allows the Board to make offers to its employees, regardless of where they are located in the world, to encourage alignment between the Company’s employees with the interests of shareholders. In particular, offers can be made to foreign employees in a manner that accommodates foreign legal and taxation requirements.
ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2, exception 9(b)
As noted above, under ASX Listing 7.1, a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more than 15% of its issued share capital in any 12-month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.2, exception 9(b) provides an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for an issue under an employee incentive scheme where shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the scheme within three years before the issue as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Shares under the Global Plan over a three-year period without impacting the Company’s annual 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Summary of the terms of the Global Plan:
Page 16
2019 Annual General Meeting
Nanosonics Limited ACN 095 076 896
==> picture [126 x 39] intentionally omitted <==
| Eligibility | Under the Global Plan, eligible employees (full time or part time employees of a subsidiary of Nanosonics) may be offered the opportunity to acquire Shares. Global Plan participants may elect to discontinue their participation at any time. Participation will automatically cease if a Global Plan Participant ceases to be an employee of the Nanosonics Group or otherwise ceases to be an eligible employee. |
|---|---|
| Contribution and acquisition of Shares |
Under the Global Plan, certain regular deductions are made from a Global Plan Participant’s after-tax salary, which are then held on trust (Contributions). At present, each GESP Participant’s gross Contributions are limited to the lesser of 15% of the Global Participant’s gross remuneration and A$25,000 each year. Shortly after the end of each consecutive six month “Offering Period”, the Contributions will be used to subscribe for new Shares for the Global Participant. The subscription price (Share Issue Price) is determined by the Board, but must not be less than 85% of the lower of the prevailing Share price at the beginning and the end of the relevant Offering Period. |
| Restriction on dealing |
A Global Plan Participant’s right to purchase Shares is personal and may not be transferred or assigned to any other person, other than to a Legal Personal Representative in the event of death. The Board may determine that Shares issued under the Global Plan are subject to restrictions on disposal. |
| Adjustment on significant events |
If any of the following occur: (a) a variation of share capital, bonus issue or rights issue in relation to Nanosonics; or (b) a dividend in specie or demerger affecting a subsidiary, the Board may make such adjustments to the terms of offers as it considers appropriate. |
| Rights attaching to Shares |
Ranking Each Global Plan Participant’s Shares issued will rank equally in all respects with all existing Shares from the date of issue. Dividends and voting rights Subject to the term of any Offer, a Global Plan Participant is entitled to: (a) receive any dividend or other distribution or entitlement; and (b) exercise any voting rights, in respect of Shares held by that Global Plan Participant. |
| Global Plan Limit | The maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be issued under the Global Plan is 1% of the total number of shares on issue by the Company. |
| Suspension or termination |
The Global Plan may be suspended or terminated at any time by resolution of the Board. |
