EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to assist shareholders with their consideration of the resolutions in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Financial Statements and Reports

The business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2010 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report. It is intended to provide an opportunity for shareholders to raise questions on the reports themselves and on the performance of the Company generally.

Resolution 1: Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the company.

The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the Company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2010 [and is available on the Company's website at http://www.smarttrans.com.au/investor-relations/annual-reports/

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

Resolution 2: Re-election of Andrew D Forsyth

Rule 14.4 of the ASX Listing Rules provides that a director must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director's appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.4, and the Company's Constitution, Mr Andrew D Forsyth is retiring as a director of the Company and seeking re-election.

Details of the qualifications and experience of Mr Andrew D Forsyth are contained in the Company's 2010 Annual Report.

Resolution 2 seeks the reappointment of Mr Andrew D Forsyth as a director of the Company for a further term. If approved by shareholders, Mr Forsyth’s appointment as a director will be effective from the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

Each of the directors, excluding Mr Forsyth, recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3: Approve Option Plan

SmartTrans adopted an Employee Share Option Plan ( Option Plan ) on 1 July 2010 to provide ongoing incentives to directors, executives and key employees of the Company.

Shareholder approval of the Option Plan is now being sought to enable the Company to issue options to executives and employees of the Company ( Employee Options ) and to issue shares to those executives and employees if they choose to exercise their Employee Options, without being required to include the Employee Options within the Company's 15% limit for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of equity securities which a listed company may issue in any 12 month period without shareholder approval (subject to certain exceptions, for example a pro rata issue to all shareholders). The limit is, generally speaking, no more than 15% of the total number of equity securities on issue at the beginning of the 12 month period, plus the number of equity securities issued with the approval of shareholders or under one of the exceptions during the previous 12 months.

One of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 is Listing Rule 7.2 - Exception 9, which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within the 3 years before the date of issue, shareholders have approved the issue as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholder approval is sought to enable the Company to grant the Employee Options under the Option Plan, without experiencing the delays and costs involved in having to obtain Shareholder approval each time the Company wishes to issue securities which exceed the 15% limit contained in Listing Rule 7.1 and do not otherwise fall within one of the nominated Listing Rule exceptions.

As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Company has issued 6,000,000 Employee Options to eligible staff and independent contractors. The Company is seeking shareholder ratification for the issue of these Employee Options pursuant to Resolution 4.

No Employee Options have been or will be issued to Directors of the Company without express shareholder approval of the number and terms of the Employee Options.

Summary of the Terms of the Option Plan

  1. Under the Option Plan the Directors may offer to grant Employee Options to any Director, Officer or fulltime or part-time employee of the Company at the Board's discretion ( Eligible Person ) having regard to the Eligible Person's seniority, position, length of service, record of employment, potential contribution to the growth and profitability of the Company or an associated company and any other matter which the Directors consider relevant.

  2. Following receipt of the offer, an Eligible Person or an associate of an Eligible Person may apply for Employee Options up to the number specified in the offer. No consideration is payable by an Eligible Person to the Company in respect of the grant of an Employee Option.

  3. Employee Options may not be offered to a Director or his or her associates without prior shareholder approval.

  4. The exercise price payable on the exercise of an Employee Option shall be determined by the Board, in its absolute discretion at the time of offering the Employee Options and will be set out in the offer.

  5. The exercise period of each Employee Option shall be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion and set out in the offer ( Exercise Period ). However, if no date is set out in the offer, Employee Options will only be able to be exercised on or after the first anniversary of the date of issue and will expire five (5) years from the date of issue ( Expiry Date ).

6.

Notwithstanding item 5, the Board, in its discretion, may declare all Employee Options to be free of any restrictions on exercise if the Board is of the opinion that a Change of Control Event has occurred. A Change of Control Event occurs on the commencement of a bid period in relation to a takeover bid (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act), at any time after a change of shareholding has occurred which gives a person or an associated group of persons the ability in general meeting to replace all or a majority of the Board or at any time after the Company enters into a scheme of arrangement with its creditors of members or any class thereof pursuant to section 411 of the Corporations Act.

  1. Notwithstanding item 5, Employee Options may expire prior to the Expiry Date (however at all times such expiry dates are subject to the Board's absolute discretion) in the following circumstances:

  2. (a) Employee Options will expire 30 days after a person or corporation:

    • (i) makes a takeover bid (as defined in the Corporations Act) to acquire any share in the Company, and the takeover bid extends to shares issued and allotted after the date of the takeover bid; or

    • (ii) becomes entitled to proceed to compulsory acquisition of the shares in the Company pursuant to the Corporations Act.

  3. (b) Employee Options will expire 10 days after a Company convenes a meeting of shareholders of the Company in order to enter into a scheme of arrangement (pursuant to the Corporations Act) which if implemented would result in a person or corporation becoming entitled to not less than 90% of all the shares of the Company, and that scheme is in fact approved; and

  4. (c) Employee Options will, unless the Board otherwise resolves in its absolute discretion, expire immediately on the Eligible Person voluntarily resigning or retiring from employment with the Company and on the Eligible Person being dismissed from employment with the Company for misconduct, disobedience, incompetence, fraud or any other reason which the Director's believe is fair and reasonable to warrant the lapsing of the Employee Options.

All shares issued upon the exercise of Employee Options will upon the allotment rank pari passu with all existing shares in the capital of the Company. If the shares are quoted, the Company will apply for quotation by ASX of all shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of Employee Options within 10 business days after the issue of the shares. However, the Company will not apply for official quotation by ASX of the Employee Options.

  1. An Employee Option may only be transferred by the holder of the Employee Option if the transfer is to a spouse or associate of the Eligible Person, or to a trustee of a superannuation fund of which the Eligible Person is a member or otherwise with the consent of the Company as determined by the Directors in their absolute discretion.

  2. In the event of any reconstruction (including a consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, then the number of Employee Options to which each holder of Employee Options is entitled will be reconstructed in the manner required by the ASX Listing Rules.

  3. The holder of an Employee Option will only be permitted to participate in a pro rata issue to the holders of shares on the prior exercise of the Employee Option.

  4. There will be no change to the Exercise Price of an Employee Option or the number of shares which an Employee Option is exercisable in the event of the Company making a pro rata issue of shares to shareholders (including a bonus offer).

  5. Subject to the ASX Listing Rules, the Directors may from time to time alter, delete or add to the provisions of the Option Plan by an instrument in writing without obtaining the consent of shareholders of the Company.

  6. The rules of the Option Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Western Australia and each Optionholder submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of that State.

A copy of the Option Plan was released to ASX on the date of release of this notice and will be sent free of charge to any shareholder on request

Resolution 4: Ratify the issue of the July Employee Options

On 14 July 2010, the Company issued 5,200,000 Employee Options to eligible staff and 800,000 Employee Options to essential independent contractors ( July Employee Options ). The July Employee Options were issued as a reward for past service and to provide an incentive to staff and contractors during the forthcoming year.

The terms of the July Employee Options are outlined in Annexure A. In summary, subject to satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions, each July Employee Option entitles the holder to subscribe for 1 fully paid ordinary share in the Company at an exercise price of $0.005 per share. The July Employee Options will vest and become exercisable on 14 July 2011 and will expire on 11 August 2011.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

As summarised above at Resolution 3, one of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 is Listing Rule 7.2 - Exception 9, which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within the 3 years before the date of issue, shareholders have approved the issue as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. The Company cannot rely on this exception as the Option Plan had not been approved by shareholders prior to the issue of the July Employee Options.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out a further exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Ratification by the shareholders of the Company is now sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 in order to reinstate the Company’s capacity to issue up to 15% of its issued capital, if required in the next 12 months without shareholder approval.

Specific Disclosure of Information

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders in relation to the July Employee Options the subject of Resolution 4:

  6. a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

Resolution 5 seeks shareholder ratification for the issue and allotment by the Company of 22,563,783 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.005 per share ( June Placement Shares ) on 9 June 2010 ( June Placement ) to certain parties ( Sub-Underwriters ) who:

  2. agreed to apply the full amount of their loans in a partial sub-underwriting of the Company’s nonrenounceable entitlements issue which closed on 10 February 2010 ( Rights Issue ); and

  3. received an allocation of only approximately 60% of their sub-underwriting commitment as a result of the Rights Issue being substantially oversubscribed.

then the Options shall, with effect from the date that notice of such cessation is given, or received, by the Company, be immediately forfeited and be deemed to have expired (except that the Holder may in all circumstances retain any Options which have already vested and the Holder is already entitled to exercise) unless determined otherwise by the Board of Directors of the Company at its absolute discretion.

4.

In the event that the Holder (which includes for the purposes of this clause an associated person to whom the offer of the Options was made) is either an employee or an independent contractor to the Company (or to a related body corporate of the Company) and ceases to be in the following circumstances:

  • (a) death or total permanent disability (as that term is recognised by applicable statute);

  • (b) redundancy; or

  • (c) any other circumstance, which the Directors believe is fair and reasonable to warrant the Holder maintaining the Options,
