EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with clause 9.5 of the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.painchek.com
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
Section 249L(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, section 250R(3) expressly provides that 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 2021.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.
2.2
Voting consequences
Under Part 2G.2, Division 9 of the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.
If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
5
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
2.3 Proxy Restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for Resolution 1 should note the following:
2.3.1 If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel as your proxy
If you elect to appoint a member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of that member, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote . Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be included in any vote on Resolution 1.
2.3.2 If you appoint the Chair as your proxy
If you elect to appoint the Chair as your proxy, you do not need to direct the Chair how you wish them to exercise your vote on Resolution 1.
By signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair’s intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.
2.3.3 If you appoint any other person as your proxy
You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote.
2.4 Directors' recommendation
As the resolution relates to matters including the remuneration of the Directors, the Board, as a matter of corporate governance and in accordance with the spirit of section 250R(4) Corporations Act, makes no recommendation regarding this resolution.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – JOHN MURRAY
3.1 ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 11.3 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third, shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.
Clause 11.5 of the Constitution provides that the Director to retire at an annual general meeting is the Director who has been longest in office since their last election. Clause 11.4 of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires by rotation under clause 11.3 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.
The Company currently has 4 Directors (including 1 Managing Director) and accordingly 1 must retire.
6
Mr John Murray, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
3.2 Experience
Mr John Murray is the Chair of PainChek and has extensive experience as follows: John has over 25 years’ experience in private equity and venture capital, and was a co- founder and Managing Partner of Technology Venture Partners; one of the original and leading venture capital firms in Australia. John is a past chairman of the Australian Venture Capital Association. John has considerable experience as a director of high growth, technology-based companies. He possesses a broad understanding of global trends in technology and its impact on a variety of industries. He is a past Chair of a private residential aged care business in Australia. John also brings 12 years’ experience in executive roles in corporate banking, accounting and IT services industries. John has been on the Board of a number of successful technology rollouts and exits including online travel play Viator, which was acquired by TripAdvisor for approximately US$200 million in 2014. He is a chartered accountant with an Honour degree in Law, and is a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. John is also currently a non-executive director of UK AIM listed Seeing Machines Ltd and a private hotel property company.
3.3 Directors’ Recommendation
The Board (with Mr Murray abstaining) supports Mr Murray’s re-election as a NonExecutive Director of the Company and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY – SHARES
4.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity as defined in section 4.2 below, may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue equity securities up to 10% of its issued capital at the time of the issue over a period up to 12 months after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
The Company is an Eligible Entity.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the number of equity securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in Section 4.2 below).
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue equity securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4 provides that if and when the Company utilises the 10% Placement Capacity within the 12 months following the AGM, assuming Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be required to give ASX details of who
7
will be issued the equity securities and how many equity securities they each received. In addition, the Company will be required to release by way of ASX announcement the information set out in ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A, namely:
-
(a) details about the dilution to the existing Shareholders caused by the issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity;
-
(b) if cash is raised, an explanation why a pro rata issue or other type of issue allowing existing shareholders to participate was not adopted instead of or as well as using the 10% Placement Capacity;
-
(c) details about any underwriting and underwriting fees paid; and
-
(d) details about any other fees or costs incurred in connection with the issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
Resolution 3 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 3 for it to be passed.
4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue equity securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $112.6 million.
Any equity securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted equity securities issued for cash consideration per security per LR 7.1A.3. The Company currently has one class of equity securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: PCK).
The exact number of equity securities that the Company may issue under an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
A = the number of fully paid +ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period,
-
plus the number of fully paid +ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17,
-
plus the number of fully paid +ordinary securities issued in the relevant period
8
on the +conversion of +convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the issue of, or agreement to issue, the +convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,
-
plus the number of fully paid +ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue +securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,
-
plus the number of any other fully paid +ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,
Note: This may include fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 17 where the issue is subsequently approved under rule 7.1.
-
plus the number of partly paid +ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period,
-
less the number of fully paid +ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period;
D is 10%.
- E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been approved by the holders of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
4.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 3:
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of equity securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the equity securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 4.3(a)(i), the date on which the equity securities are issued.
(b) Date of Issue
The equity securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
9
(i)
-
12 months after the date of this Meeting at which the approval is obtained;
-
(ii) The time and date of the company’s next AGM; and
-
(iii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).
(c) Risk of economic and voting dilution
Any issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of equity securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.
| Variable “A” in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.A.2 |
Dilution | |||
| Issue Price (per Share) |
$0.00225 50% decrease in Issue Price |

* The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
10
The table above uses the following assumptions:
1. the current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 11 October 2021;
-
the issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 11 October 2021;
-
the Company issues the maximum possible number of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity;
-
the Company has not issued any equity securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
-
the calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances;
-
this table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for general working capital and business expansion.
(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).
The person being issued the equity securities which is yet to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the person being issued the equity securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the person to be issued the equity securities at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
- (i) the purpose of the issue;
11
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
No securities were issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A in the last 12 months.
4.4 Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 3.

Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.
STEP 4 LODGEMENT
To appoint a second proxy you must:
(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded. (b) return both forms together in the same envelope.
STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY
To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.
Proxy which is a Body Corporate
Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.
Proxy forms (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting, therefore by 2:00pm (AEDT) on Sunday, 28 November 2021. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
