MORE INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of Orcoda and accompanies the Notice of Meeting to be held on Tuesday, 1 February 2022, as described in the ASX release dated 22 December 2022 due to an internal miscommunication regarding the structure of the hurdles of the incentives of an administrative nature.
The Board recognises that the inconvenience of holding a meeting shortly after the AGM is relatively high, however have formed the view that the incentives for the Board and Employees were critical to the Company, that it was agreed to:
- not issue the original Performance Rights, (approved by shareholders at the recent Annual General Meeting); and
4
- call a General Meeting to seek approval for the relevant resolutions themselves do not change, however terms and conditions as described in the Explanatory Memorandum are revised.
The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to decide how to vote upon the resolutions set out in the Notice and should be read in conjunction with the Notice.
RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 5: ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS
Resolutions 1 to 5 seek approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14 to grant Performance Rights to incentivise and remunerate Directors for services over the next 12 months.
The 4th edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations includes the following description as to “the need to ensure that the incentives for non-executive directors not to conflict with their obligation to bring an independent judgement to matters before the board”. Later in Listing Rule 8.2, “a listed entity’s remuneration policies and practices should appropriately reflect the different roles and responsibilities of non-executive directors compared with executive directors and other senior executives.”
Notwithstanding the above considerations the Board has determined that the relatively modest grant to NonExecutive Directors is not likely to interfere with their independence, and that the benefits of alignment with Shareholders, and incentives to adjust for their relative to peer modest base salaries is appropriate and the grant is beneficial to the Company as a whole.
The Board notes that any other persons under Listing Rule 10.14 that would otherwise be entitled to participate in the scheme after these resolutions is approved and who are not named in the notice of meeting may not benefit from being issued securities unless approval is obtained under that rule.
Listing Rule 10.14
Resolutions 1 to 5 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14 for the proposed grant of Performance Rights to the Company's relevant Directors.
Listing Rule 10.14.1 provides that a listed Company cannot approve the issue of securities to Directors unless they are approved by its Shareholders. The Issues in each of the below resolutions fall within Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval of Orcoda shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1 A
-
If Resolution 1 to 5 are passed (or any one or more of them), then Company is permitted to issue Performance Rights for each relevant Director on the terms of which are prescribed below.
-
If Resolution 1 to 5 are not passed (or any one or more of them), then Company will not issue the Performance Rights for each respective Director but may use cash reserves or another form of equivalent remuneration from future profits, to remunerate its directors on terms not otherwise dissimilar.
If Resolution 1 is passed, then 1,000,000 Performance Rights will be granted to Nicholas Johansen, who is director of the Company.
If Resolution 2 is passed, then 3,300,000 Performance Rights will be granted Geoffrey Jamieson, who is director of the Company.
If Resolution 3 is passed, then 2,100,000 Performance Rights will be granted Geoffrey Williams who is director of the Company.
If Resolution 4 is passed, then 500,000 Performance Rights will be granted Brendan Mason, who is director of the Company.
If Resolution 5 is passed, then 500,000 Performance Rights will be granted Stephen Pronk, who is director of the Company.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a “Financial Benefit” to a Related Party of the public company unless providing the benefit falls within a prescribed exception to the general prohibition.
The Directors who do not have a material personal interest in Resolutions 1 to 5, consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in relation to the Performance Rights these would be issued on arm’s length terms (section 210 of the Corporations Act) because they constitute reasonable remuneration (section 211 of the Corporations Act).
5
In coming to this considered view, the Directors have had regard to the factors set out in RG 76 and section 211 of the Corporations Act including amongst other things, the relatively high share price hurdle, and the prevailing Director fees and incentives received by peers in other small-cap ASX companies, and that the Allottees of other relatively modest Board fees subject to their contributions and normal industry expectations.
Section 200B of the Corporations Act
In accordance with section 200B of the Corporations Act, to give a benefit in connection with a person's retirement from an office, the Company must obtain shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 200E of the Corporations Act.
Section 200B applies where the benefit is given to a person whose office or position is a managerial or executive office. This is not applicable to any these resolutions.
The Directors (excluding the conflicted Director in each case) have formed the view that the issue of Performance Rights to each relevant Director falls within the “reasonable remuneration” exception as set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act and relies on this exception for the purpose of these Resolutions.
Listing Rule 10.15
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following details regarding the proposed grants of the Performance Rights for each of the above Directors:
Details of remuneration package for each director are shown below, noting that 10.15.4 is described in column 4, 5 and 6 below:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4 | Column 4 | Column 5 | Column 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resolutions | Names of director (LR 10.15.1) |
Category of Person (LR 10.15.2) |
Base Salary | Performance Rights (LR 10.15.3) |
Valuation of securities* |
Economic benefit of securities** |
| 1. | Nicholas Johansen | LR 10.14.1 - Director. |
$50,000 | 1,000,000 | $160,000 | $24,000 |
| 2. | Geoffrey Jamieson | LR 10.14.1 - Director. |
$350,000 | 3,300,000 | $528,000 | $79.200 |
| 3. | Geoffrey Williams | LR 10.14.1 - Director. |
$100,000 | 2,100,000 | $336,000 | $50.400 |
| 4. | Brendan Mason | LR 10.14.1 - Director. |
$30,000 | 500,000 | $80,000 | $12,000 |
| 5. | Stephen Pronk | LR 10.14.1 - Director. |
$25,000 | 500,000 | $80,000 | $12,000 |
*The valuation of the securities in column 6 is based on the 30-day VWAP of $0.16 preceding 22 December 2021. The actual valuation using this metric may vary as the relevant date will be the 30-day VWAP preceding 1 January 2022. Another method for valuation may be the closing share price of the day that the Performance Rights are issued, however that is not being used for this example. This is only an estimate, and the true value is hopefully much higher, as the purpose of this incentive structure is to encourage conversion following the vesting condition being met, and the Board contributing to accreting the future share price.
** The economic benefit is 15% of the valuation, because the participants must pay 85% of the 30-day VWAP leading preceding 1 January 2022. The above example, is based on the same $0.16 valuation as described above, being the 30-day VWAP preceding 22 December 2021 as a proxy for an actual assessment of the economic benefit. Therefore, based on that assumption the economic benefit is $0.024 per share (i.e. $0.16 less 85%).
Again, this is only an estimate, and the true value is hopefully much higher, as the purpose of this incentive structure is to encourage conversion following the vesting condition being met, and the Board contributing to accreting the future share price.
(LR 10.15.5) No previous Performance Rights were previously issued under the OSP.
( LR 10.15.7 ) Performance Rights need to be granted to Directors within one (1) month of the GM.
( LR 10.15.8 ) All Performance Rights are granted for nil consideration to directors of the Company (though may only be converted by their paying 85% of the 30-day VWAP preceding 1[st] January 2022.
(LR 10.15.9) Any inconsistency between the terms of the Performance Rights described in this Notice and the OSP scheme, (however named), please note that the terms of the securities described in this Notice will prevail, and a summary of the key terms of the OSP are attached as Annexure A.
( LR 10.15.10 ) No loans will be made in connection with the grant of the Performance Rights.

-
( LR 10.15.11 )
-
Details of the Proposed Performance Rights or other securities issued Directors are published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
-
Directors later appointed who may be subject to Listing Rule 10.14. and may be viewed as entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the OSP however unless named in this Notice will not participate unless or until requisite approvals are obtained from shareholders.
-
(LR 10.15.6) A summary of material terms, explanation of the Performance Rights, and their valuation is described below:
-
It is a contractual right that upon relevant hurdle or milestone, provides the recipient with the right to convert those to ordinary shares anytime five years from their date of grant, subject to the 18month vestment being met (or a takeover of the Company occurring within that 18 months). During the relevant period the eligible holder must remain an employee (or director) of the company, or otherwise the performance rights expire.
-
Reasons to select this security includes the following.
-
a. Conversion flexibility.
-
b. Incentivise retention and promote Board stability.
-
c. Ease of administration.
-
d. Aligning economic interests between the Board and Shareholders.
-
e. The discount is relatively modest, and not incomparable with discounts provided to sophisticated and professional investment in sophisticated and professional investor capital markets.
-
-
The major terms of the as follows:
-
a. 18-month vesting period (this period is shortened if at any time in the 18 months a takeover offer for the company is approved by shareholders), with conversion period being any time up to 1st January 2027; and
-
b. The price for conversion of the Performance Rights is fixed at 85% of the 30-day VWAP ending December 31, 2021.
-
c. The conversion at the holder’s right, on a 1:1 ratio of Performance Right to fully paid ordinary share.
-
-
Part of LR 10.15.16 involves assessing the value of these securities. The Company proposes that the value of the Performance Rights (without external professional evaluation) should be equivalent to 85% of the total number of securities multiplied by the 30-day VWAP immediately preceding 1 January 2022 issued to each director.
-
Hurdles 1: Retention Hurdle: 18 months of continued service in their primary roles from their grant date.
-
Hurdle 2: Payment to the Company of the Conversion Price being a 15% discount of the above 30-day VWAP preceding 1[st] January 2022.
-
The conversion ratio is 1:1, with one (1) Performance Right converting to (1) Fully Paid Ordinary Share.
-
Directors may convert in tranches at their discretion, but not less than 20,000 at any one time after the First Retention Hurdle has been met (18-month period), and then not later than 5 years from their grant date.
-
When the retention hurdle is achieved, the Performance Right vests to the eligible holder, and their right to convert part or all their shares at the designated conversion price by written notice to the Company is triggered.
-
Their purpose is to incentivise the Board and senior management that are Board Members to remain and build on the achievements of 2021.
-
Shares issued upon conversion ranks Pari Passu with other fully paid ordinary shares, and immediate application and quotation for the new shares will be made immediately.
-
Full details of the Performance Rights and as granted, converted, or lapsed will be published in the remuneration section of each Annual Report.
-
Subject to the terms and conditions set out below and in the OSP, each Performance Right gives the holder ( Performance Right holder ) the right to subscribe for one (1) fully paid ordinary share in the Company per each one (1) Performance Right issued (once the retention hurdle is achieved).
7
-
The Performance Right holder must not enter transactions or arrangements, including by way of derivatives or similar financial products, which limit the economic risk of holding unvested Performance Rights.
-
If the (non-conflicted) members by most of the Board form a reasonable view that any beneficiary of Performance Rights approved under these resolutions, has committed an act of fraud or gross misconduct in relation to the Company, then that person will forfeit the unvested Performance Rights.
-
If a Participant engages in any activities or communications that, in the opinion of the Board, may cause harm to the operations or reputation of the Company or the Board all unvested Performance Rights held by the Participant will lapse and be forfeited, unless otherwise determined by the Board.
-
If a Participant either directly or indirectly competes with the Company including becoming an employee of a competitor, supplier, or customer, without the prior written consent of the Company, all unvested Performance Rights held by the Participant will lapse and be forfeited, unless otherwise determined by the Board.
-
The Company will not apply for quotation of the Performance Rights on the ASX. However, the Company will apply for quotation for all Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of the Performance Rights on the ASX no later than 5 Business Days after the allotment of the Shares.
-
If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of the Performance Right holder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of reconstruction which are contained in the terms and conditions of the OSP which has been passed by shareholders in the 2021 AGM.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.
Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
