6.1 General

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.17 and Rule 14.7 of the Constitution, the Company must not increase the total amount of non-executive Directors' fees payable by it and any of its child entities without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the increase the aggregate amount of fees available to be paid to non-executive Directors by $290,000 from the current $260,000 per annum to an aggregate amount of $550,000 per annum.

The Board considers that it is reasonable and appropriate at this time to seek an increase in the remuneration pool for non-executive Directors for the following reasons:

iCollege Limited Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting

12

  • (a) the Board has recently increased in size from three directors only one of whom was non-executive to five Directors four of whom are non-executive, having appointed two additional non-executive Directors who stand for re-election at this Meeting;

  • (b) due to the expected growth of the Company and increased responsibilities for nonexecutive Directors;

  • (c) non-executive Directors’ fees may in the future need to be increased to retain Directors;

  • (d) to attract new directors of a calibre required to effectively guide and monitor the business of the Company; and

  • (e) to remunerate Directors appropriately for the expectations placed upon them by both the Company and the regulatory environment in which it operates.

The maximum aggregate fees payable to Directors has not been increased since 2014.

This proposed level of permitted fees does not mean that the Company must pay the entire amount approved as fees in each year. However, the Board considers that it is reasonable and appropriate to establish this amount as this will provide the Company with the flexibility to attract appropriately qualified non-executive Directors and to act quickly if the circumstances require it.

The remuneration of each Director for the year ended 30 June 2021 is detailed in the Annual Report.

6.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.17

Listing Rule 10.17 requires the following information must be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval as follows:

  • (a) Shareholder approval is being sought to increase the fee pool by $290,000 from the current $260,000 per annum to an aggregate amount of $550,000 per annum.

  • (b) Subject to Shareholders approving Resolution 5, the maximum aggregate amount of Directors' fees that may be paid to all of the Company's non-executive Directors will be $550,000 per annum.

  • (c) In the last 3 years, the following securities have been issued to non-executive Directors under Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 (with Shareholder approval):
