About PainChek®

PainChek® Ltd is an Australian based company that develops pain assessment technologies.

Pain often goes unrecognised and under-treated in people with communication difficulties. PainChek Universal is a clinically validated smartphone-based medical device that enables best practice pain assessment for all people, everywhere.

PainChek Universal is a complete point-of-care solution that combines the existing PainChek® App with the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). This enables best-practice pain management for all residents living with pain in any environment — from those who cannot verbalise pain to those who can, and those who fluctuate between the two.

The PainChek® App uses artificial intelligence and facial recognition to detect pain in those who cannot self-report. This gives a voice to those who cannot verbalise pain, whilst also driving objectivity and consistency in all assessments. For those who can self-report, PainChek Universal also includes access to the Numerical Rating Scale, a well-established standard used to document pain levels amongst these individuals. PainChek Universal also supports pain assessment using both tools at the point of care, for those people whose ability to communicate fluctuates.

PainChek® is being rolled out globally in two phases: first, PainChek® for adults who are unable to effectively verbalise their pain such as people with dementia, and second, PainChek® for infants who have not yet learnt to speak. Both the adult and infants products have received regulatory clearance in numerous markets including Australia, Europe, UK, NZ, Singapore and Canada.

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 2022 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 2022.

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.

9

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

5. RESOLUTION 4 APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY – SHARES

5.1 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

11

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 4, 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 4 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 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 4 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 4 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 4 for it to be passed.

5.2 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

12

  • (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 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.

13

5.3 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 4:

(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:

  • (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 4 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.

* 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.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

1. the current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 4 October 2022;

  1. the issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 4 October 2022;

  2. the Company issues the maximum possible number of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity;

  3. 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;

  4. 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;

  5. 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

15

(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;

  • (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.

5.4 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 4.

5.5 Directors' recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

6. RESOLUTION 5- RATIFICATION OF PRIOR SHARE ISSUES (PLACEMENT)

Background to the Placement

On 24 June 2022, the Company announced an equity capital raising consisting of the following elements:

• a fully underwritten share placement to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors at a per share price of A$0.028 to raise a A$3 million (Placement); and

• a fully underwritten accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer at a per share price of A$0.028 to raise A$1.59 million (Entitlement Offer).

On 30 June 2022 (Issue Date), the Company issued 107,142,858 new Shares under the Placement. Of these, 107,142,858 Shares were issued using the Company’s 15% capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 with nil remaining Shares issued using the Company’s additional 10% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A approved at the Company’s 2021 AGM.

Under Resolution 5, the Company is seeking shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue of 107,142,858 Shares on 30 June 2022 to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors under the Placement in order to restore the ability of the Company to issue further Shares within the 15% limit during the next 12 months.

General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Placement shares does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future (including for acquisitions) without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, the Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If the Resolution is passed, the Placement Shares will be deemed to have been issued with Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and will accordingly be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

17

If the Resolution is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

Specific information required

The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

a) Number of securities issued:

107,142,858 fully paid ordinary Shares.

b) Date on which securities were issued:

The Shares were issued and allotted on 30 June 2022.

c) Issue price of securities:

The Shares were issued for A$0.028 per Share.

d) Allottees of the securities:

The Placement Shares were issued to existing and new institutional, professional and sophisticated investors, allocated in consultation between the Company and the joint lead managers and underwriters to the Placement, Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited.

e) Terms of securities:

The Placement Shares were issued on the same terms as existing ordinary shares on issue and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary Shares on issue.

f) The intended use of the funds:

Additional working capital.

Directors' Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

7. RESOLUTIONS 6 TO 9 – APPROVAL OF NON-EXEC DIRECTOR PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

7.1 General

In August 2019, the Company commissioned a review of its director remuneration from an independent remuneration consultant to benchmark current director remuneration to comparable companies. The report recommended that the Company’s non-executive director remuneration be supplemented with the following annual grant of Performance Rights for the financial years ended 30 June 2019, 2020 and 2021:

18

==> picture [411 x 106] intentionally omitted <==

Shareholders approved the issue of these Performance Rights at the AGM on 20th November 2019 on the following principles and terms:

  • (a) each non-executive director will in each end of financial year on 30 June 2020, 2021 and 2022 receive 1/3 of their total annual remuneration in Performance Rights subject to shareholder approval;

  • (b) the number of Performance Rights issued for a year will be calculated based on the VWAP of the Company’s ordinary shares calculated 5 days either side of and including the date of announcement of the company’s annual statutory results for the financial year;

  • (c) Performance Rights will vest at 30 June each subsequent year - being the end of the financial year subject to the director remaining a director of the Company at that date;

  • (d) each Performance Right has the conditional right to acquire one Share;

  • (e) the Performance rights are issued for Nil consideration;

  • (f) the Performance Rights expire 3 months after the vesting date; and

  • (g) the Performance Rights are subject to the terms and conditions of the LTI Plan.

The Company proposes that individual non-executive director remuneration is unchanged and is summarised:

Director Cash Fee New
Performance
Rights
Total
Remuneration
(Unchanged)
John Murray $80,000 $40,000 $120,000
Adam Davey $40,000 $20,000 $60,000
Ross Harricks $40,000 $20,000 $60,000
Cynthia Payne
(new director)
$40,000 $20,000 $60,000
$200,000 $100,000 $300,000

This requires the approval of shareholders to issue new Performance Rights to nonexecutive directors for each of the 3 financial years beginning FY2023. The below table summarises the position:

7.2 Calculation of the Number of Performance Rights

As noted in section 1.1 above, the number of Performance Rights to be issued to the non-executive Directors each year will depend on the VWAP of the Company’s ordinary shares calculated 5 days either side of and including the date of announcement of the company’s annual statutory results for the financial year preceding the financial year of the grant of the Performance Rights. The following table shows the calculation of the Performance Rights to be issued as part of the Director remuneration for holding office during FY2023 and vesting on 30 June 2023 if the Director remains in office:

7.3 Long Term Incentive Plan

The LTI Plan provides for the issuance of Performance Rights or Options ( Awards ) to directors, full-time and part-time employees as well as consultants and contractors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The form and implementation of the LTI Plan was approved by the Board on 27 August 2015 and by the company’s Shareholders at the annual general meeting on 7 October 2015 and subsequently at the annual general meeting on 20 November 2018.

The key features of the LTI Plan are as follows:

  • (a) the Board may offer Awards under the LTI Plan to full-time or part-time employees, directors, consultants and/or contractors of any member of the Company’s group (being the Company and its subsidiaries) (a holder of securities under the LTI Plan being a participant);

  • (b) each Award represents a conditional right to be issued or transferred one or more Shares;

  • (c) there is no fee payable by the participant on the grant of the Awards;

22

  • (d) an Award may only be exercised when the vesting conditions, as determined by the Board, attaching to that Award have been satisfied or waived and a vesting notice has been provided to the plan participant.

  • (e) the Award exercise price will be determined by the Board at the time it resolves to grant Awards under the LTI Plan, having regard to such matters that the board considers appropriate;

  • (f) a participant may, if provided by the terms of the Award, and at their election, exercise their vested Awards by choosing to receive (in Shares) only the positive difference between the exercise price and the Company’s share price at exercise, determined by using a volume weighted average price over the 10 trading days immediately preceding the exercise date. This mechanism will not change the fundamental entitlement of participants nor does it result in a more favourable economic outcome than if the participant were to pay the exercise price in respect of all their Awards;

  • (g) a participant’s Award will expire on the expiry date specified by the Board when the Award is granted.

  • (h) Awards are not transferable;

  • (i) a participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to an Award that has been granted to them; and

  • (j) Awards will not be quoted on ASX. The Company will make an application to the ASX for official quotation of the Shares (if any) issued to a participant on the exercise of the Awards.

A copy of the LTI Plan can be obtained by contacting the Company secretary.

7.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, section 208 of the Corporations Act requires that, if an entity that the public company controls, gives a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The proposed issue of Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Murray, Davey, Harricks, and Ms Payne are each related parties of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a Director, an associate of the Director or a person whose relationship with the Director or an associate of the Directors, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.15B applies.

For the reasons set out in section 6.1, the Board considers that the grant of Performance Rights to Messrs Murray, Davey, Harricks, and Ms Payne is an

23

appropriate and reasonable component of their remuneration, and that the financial benefit represented by the grant of the Performance Rights falls within the "reasonable remuneration" exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act. For this reason, it is unnecessary to seek specific Shareholder approval of Resolutions 5 to 7 for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

8. RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL OF THE ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO PHILIP DAFFAS

8.1 General

In September 2019, the Company commissioned a review of its chief executive officer ( CEO ) remuneration from an independent remuneration consultant to benchmark current CEO remuneration to comparable companies. The report recommended that the Company’s CEO remuneration be supplemented with an annual grant of $200,000 worth of Performance Rights for the financial years ended 30 June 2020, 2021 and 2022. This was approved by shareholders at the AGM on 20[th] November 2019.

Philip Daffas’s annual remuneration package has been unchanged for the last 3 years ending 30 June 2022 and is summarised:

The Performance Rights awarded in relation to the Long Term Incentive during this period were issued on the following key terms:

26

  • (a) The Performance Rights issued for a year will be issued at the VWAP of the Company’s ordinary shares calculated 5 days either side of and including the date of announcement of the company’s annual statutory results for the financial year preceding the financial year of the grant of the Performance Rights ( Award Issue Price ).

  • (b) Vesting of the Performance Rights is conditional on the following:

  • (i) 50% of the annual grant of $200,000 worth of Performance Rights will vest two years after the commencement of each vesting period on 1 October of the year of grant, subject to the Company's Share price achieving a compounded annual increase in Share price of 15% p.a. ( Award Target Price ) from the relevant Award Issue Price and provided that Philip Daffas remains employed by the Company at that date (unless he is a Good Leaver as defined in the LTI Plan in which case he retains the relevant pro rata portion of the grant subject to the increase in Share price vesting condition); and

  • (i) 50% of the annual grant of $200,000 worth of Performance Rights will vest three years after the commencement of each vesting period on 1 October of the year of grant, subject to the Company's Share price achieving a compounded annual increase in Share price of 15% p.a. from the relevant Award Issue Price and provided that Philip Daffas remains employed by the Company on that date (unless he is a Good Leaver as defined in the LTI Plan in which case he retains the relevant pro rata portion of the grant subject to the increase in Share price vesting condition).

(ii) The Award Target Price will be calculated based on the 10 days VWAP leading up to and including the relevant vesting date.

The Company will enter into a new agreement with Philip Daffas to increase his total statutory remuneration package to $650,000 representing an 8.3% increase. The fixed and variable cash remuneration will remain unchanged at a maximum of $400,000 per annum. The value of Performance Rights awarded each year will be increased by 25% to $250,000.

Philip Daffas has not had an increase in remuneration for 3 years and the proposed increase of 8.3% is reasonable given the development of the business over this period and the increase in inflation. The proposed increase will not be paid in cash and will be paid in Performance Rights which only vest if minimum share price growth targets are achieved, which aligns the incentive with shareholder outcomes.

The Company seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Performance Rights to Philip Daffas to the value of $750,000 over the next 3 years with an annual limit of $250,000 for Philip Daffas or his nominee(s) to acquire one Share for each Performance Right held pursuant to the LTI Plan and as part of Philip Daffas' remuneration.

The key terms of the Performance Rights will remain unchanged except in relation to vesting conditions which are summarised:

  • a) The Performance Rights awarded for a year will vest over 3 years in equal annual amounts commencing one year after the 1 October of the year of award subject to:

  • 1) the Company's Share price achieving a target Share price for each tranche of an award that is vesting ( Award Target Price );

  • 2) Philip Daffas remains employed by the Company at the vesting date (unless he is a Good Leaver as defined in the LTI Plan in which case he retains the relevant pro rata portion of the grant subject to the increase in Share price vesting condition); and

  • 3) accelerated vesting of all Performance Rights which have been awarded in the event of a change of control transaction provided that Award Target Prices have been met (with the compounded return calculated up until the date of change of control).

28

  • b) The Award Target Price for the FY23 award is twice the Award Issue Price for the first annual tranche and thereafter a compounded annual increase in Share price of 20% p.a. for the second and third tranch

  • c) The Award Target Price for the FY24 and FY25 Awards is a compounded annual increase in Share price of 20% p.a. from the relevant Award Issue Price

8.2 Calculation of the Number of Performance Rights and Vesting Conditions

As noted in section 2.1 above, the number of Performance Rights to be issued to Philip Daffas each year will depend on the VWAP of the Company’s ordinary shares calculated 5 days either side of and including the date of announcement of the company’s annual statutory results for the financial year preceding the financial year of the grant of the Performance Rights.

The following table shows the calculation of the Performance Rights to be issued as part of Philip Daffas’ remuneration for holding office during FY23 and vesting on 1 October 2023, 1 October 2024, and 1 October 2025 if Philip Daffas remains in office and the relevant Award Target Price is achieved on the relevant vesting date:

8.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, section 208 of the Corporations Act requires that, if an entity that the public company controls, gives a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The proposed issue of Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit and Philip Daffas is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a Director, an associate of the Director or a person whose relationship with the Director or an associate of the Directors, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.15B applies.

For the reasons set out in section 2.1, the Board considers that the grant of Performance Rights to Philip Daffas is an appropriate and reasonable component of his remuneration, and that the financial benefit represented by the grant of the Performance Rights falls within the "reasonable remuneration" exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act. For this reason, it is unnecessary to seek specific Shareholder approval of Resolution 8 for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

8.4

ASX Listing Rules

The Company is required by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 to obtain Shareholder approval to grant equity securities, including Performance Rights, to Philip Daffas under the LTI Plan.
