Change to Managing Director Remuneration

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.16.4, the Company sets out changes to the remuneration arrangements of the Managing Director of PainChek Ltd (PCK), Mr Philip Daffas.

As part of Philip Daffas’ performance review for FY2019, the Board of PCK considered an independent benchmarking study and review of CEO remuneration for comparable companies, which was carried out by an independent remuneration consultant. As a consequence of the excellent progress of the company led by Mr Daffas; the fact that his remuneration has not been changed since original appointment on 30 September 2016; and the results of the independent study; the Board has agreed to amend his remuneration as follows:

Actual
FY 2019
New % Change % of Total
Fixed
Base
(inc.
super)
$225,000 $250,000 11.1% 42%
STI $112,500 $150,000 25%
Total annual cash $337,500 $400,000 18.5% 77%
StatutoryLTI $0 $200,000 33%
Total
Statutory
Rem
$337,500 $600,000 77.8% 100%

Notes:

  1. Statutory LTI for FY19 was Nil since all the expense associated with Mr Daffas original 2016 LTI options was expensed in FY17 and FY18.

  2. New STI assumes 100% achievement of key performance indicator bonus targets.

  3. New LTI is subject to shareholder approval at the AGM on 20 November 2019.

The Board considers these changes provide the right mix of fixed cash (42%) and variable at risk (58%) remuneration for a company at PainChek’s stage of development, creating alignment with shareholder interests. The changes position Mr Daffas’ total statutory remuneration at 124% of the median comparable remuneration for ASX listed companies in the healthcare and IT sector with a market capitalisation of between $50m and $200m, based on the independent benchmark study.

A summary of the key terms of the amendment is set out in Attachment A. The termination provisions of 3 months notice by either party remain unchanged.

About PainChek®

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

PainChek® is a smart-phone based medical device using artificial intelligence to assess and score pain levels in real time and update medical records in the cloud. PainChek® records a short video of the person’s face and analyses the images that indicate pain and records them.

Next, the caregiver uses PainChek® to record their observations of other pain related behaviours that complete the assessment. Finally, PainChek® calculates an overall pain score and stores the result allowing the caregiver to monitor the effect of medication and treatment over time.

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 Children who have not yet learnt to speak.

The PainChek® Shared Care Program is a PainChek® licensing model which enables a professional carer to share their resident or patient data securely with other healthcare professionals or designated homebased family carers for ongoing pain assessments or clinical data review.
