If you cannot attend the meeting in person, you are encouraged to date, sign and deliver the accompanying proxy and return it in accordance with the instructions set out above under the heading ‘Proxies’.

RESOLUTIONS
A simple majority of votes cast are required to approve all ordinary resolutions to be submitted to Shareholders at the Meeting.
EXPLANATORY NOTES
The following information is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.
The Directors recommend that Shareholders read the Explanatory Notes in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its controlled entities and the reports of the Directors and auditor for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 will be presented for consideration.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
The Board is submitting its Remuneration Report to Shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of a non-binding resolution as required under the Corporations Act.
The Remuneration Report forms part of, and is clearly identified in, the Directors' Report included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report:
-
explains the Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of executive Directors and senior executives of the Company;
-
explains the relationship between the Board's remuneration policy and the Company's performance;
-
sets out remuneration details for each Director and members of the Key Management Personnel of the Company; and
-
details and explains any performance conditions applicable to the remuneration of executive Directors and members of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.
During the financial year ended 30 June 2021, the Company continued with its current position of not paying cash bonuses previously offered to the executive team. Instead the executive team were issued with performance rights. This further aligns the executive team’s interests with that of Shareholders.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.
The vote on the adoption of the Remuneration Report resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.
Under the Corporations Act if:
-
at an annual general meeting (the later AGM ) at least 25% of the votes cast on a resolution to adopt the remuneration report are against the adoption of the remuneration report;
-
at least 25% of the votes cast at the immediately preceding annual general meeting (the earlier AGM ) on a resolution to adopt the remuneration report were against the adoption of the remuneration report; and
-
no “spill resolution” (see below) was put at the earlier AGM, then a “spill resolution” must be put to shareholders at the later AGM that:
-
another general meeting (the Spill Meeting ) be held within 90 days; and
-
all directors of the Company who:
-
were directors of the Company when the resolution by the directors to make the directors’ report considered at the later AGM was passed; and
-
are not a Managing Director of the Company who may continue to hold office indefinitely without being re-elected to the office in accordance with the Listing Rules,
-
cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting; and
- resolutions to appoint persons to offices that will be vacated immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting must be put to the vote at the Spill Meeting.
It is noted that at the Company’s 2020 annual general meeting, less than 25% of the votes cast in respect of the adoption of the remuneration report were cast against the adoption of the remuneration report. As such, a “spill resolution” will not be required to be considered at the Meeting even if 25% or more of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report.
Voting prohibitions apply to this resolution as specified in the Notice.
The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of resolution 1, subject to any instructions of the Shareholder to the contrary included in the Proxy Form.
Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report, the Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of resolution 1.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MELISSA HOLZBERGER
The Constitution provides that, if a person is appointed as a Director by the Board, Shareholders must confirm the appointment at the Company’s next annual general meeting. If the appointment is not confirmed, the person ceases to be a Director at the conclusion of that annual general meeting.
Similarly, the Listing Rules provide that a person appointed as a Director by the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the Company’s next annual general meeting.
Ms Holzberger was appointed to the Board on 17 May 2021. Accordingly, in order for Ms Holzberger to remain as a Director after the Meeting, Shareholders are required to elect Ms Holzberger as a Director at that Meeting.
Ms Holzberger’s qualifications are set out below.

Board recommendation: The Board (other than Ms Palmer because of her interest in the outcome of resolution 3) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Ms Palmer’s election.
5. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF SHARE PLACEMENT
On 17 March 2021, the Company announced that it was undertaking an equity raise by way of a fully underwritten pro-rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer and institutional placement, to raise approximately $218.7 million ( Equity Raise ).
On 26 March 2021, the Company issued 347,314,015 Shares ( Placement Shares ) pursuant to the placement component of the Equity Raise ( Placement ).
The proceeds from the Equity Raise were applied to the full redemption of then outstanding senior secured notes that the Company issued in connection with a restructure of its debt obligations in early 2018 ( Senior Notes ).
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
Listing Rule 7.1
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 prior 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 did not fit within any of these exceptions and so were issued within the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1. 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, provided the Company complied with Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issuing the relevant equity securities. 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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes.
If resolution 4 is approved, the Placement Shares will be treated as if they were issued with the prior approval of Shareholders for the purposes of 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 their issue.
If resolution 4 is not approved by the requisite majority, the Placement Shares will count towards the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval pursuant to the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following their issue.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares:
-
The Placement Shares were issued to certain institutional investors who expressed an interest in participating in the Placement to, and were allocated Placement Shares by, Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (global coordinator, joint lead manager, joint underwriter and joint bookrunner to the Equity Raise) and Shaw and Partners Limited (joint lead manager, joint underwriter and joint bookrunner to the Equity Raise).
-
The Placement Shares comprise 347,314,015 Shares. The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.
-
The Placement Shares were issued on 26 March 2021.
-
The issue price was $0.37 per Placement Share.
-
Funds raised from the issue of the Placement Shares were applied (together with the funds raised from the broader Equity Raise) to the full redemption of the then outstanding Senior Notes.
-
A voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice.
Board recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of resolution 4.
