Important information concerning proxy votes on Resolutions 1, 2 and 3
The Corporations Act places certain restrictions on the ability of Key Management Personnel and their closely related parties to vote on the Resolutions connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel.
Additionally, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 by any person appointed as a proxy by any person who is either a member of the Key Management Personnel or a Closely Related Party of such a member, unless:
- (a) it is cast by the person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with directions on the proxy form; or (b) it is cast by the Chair of the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
For these reasons, Shareholders who intend to vote by proxy should carefully consider the identity of their proxy and are encouraged to direct their proxy as to how to vote on all Resolutions. In particular, Shareholders who intend to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy (including an appointment by default) are encouraged to direct the Chair of the Meeting as to how to vote on all Resolutions.

You should direct the Chair of the Meeting how to vote on these Resolutions.
However, if the Chair of the Meeting is your proxy and you do not direct the Chair of the Meeting how to vote in respect of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 on the Proxy Form, you will be deemed to have directed and expressly authorised the Chair of the Meeting to vote your proxy in favour of the relevant Resolution. This express authorisation acknowledged that the Chair of the Meeting may vote your proxy even if:
-
(a) Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member or members of the Key Management Personnel for the Company; and
-
(b) the Chair of the Meeting has an interest in the outcome of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 and that votes cast by the Chair of the Meeting for these Resolutions, other than as authorised proxy holder, will be disregarded because of that interest.
Voting, Attendance Entitlement and proxy

A Member who is entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting and who wishes to vote on the Resolutions contained in this Notice should appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy to attend and vote on the Member’s behalf.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give 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
-
(b) 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 issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Parties are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mr Phillip Thomas) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Incentive Performance Rights under Resolution 1, because the agreement to issue the Incentive Performance Rights, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Thomas, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
The Directors (other than Mr Rick Anthon) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Incentive Performance Rights under Resolution 2, because the agreement to issue the Incentive
5
Performance Rights, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Anthon, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
The Directors (other than Mr Pablo Tarantini) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Incentive Performance Rights under Resolution 3, because the agreement to issue the Incentive Performance Rights, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Tarantini, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:
-
10.14.1 a director of the entity;
-
10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or
-
10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within 3 years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue will not use any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue. The Company may consider other ways to pay the Related Parties, including in cash.
In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in respect of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3:
| Name of the person to whom Securities will be issued |
The Related Parties (or their nominees). |
|---|---|
| Categorisation under Listing Rule 10.14 |
The Related Parties fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.14.1 as they are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Any nominee(s) of the Related Parties who receive Incentive Performance Rights may constitute ‘associates’ for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.2. |
| Number of Securities and class to be issued |
25,000,000 Incentive Performance Rights in total (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) will be allocated as set out in the table included above. |
| Securities previously issued to the recipient/(s) under the Plan |
2,000,000 Performance Rights have previously been issued (and subsequently lapsed unvested) to Phillip Thomas under the PSP. |
| Terms of Securities | The Incentive Performance Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions are set out in these Explanatory Notes. |
| Material terms of the Plan | A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Appendix 1. |
| Material terms of any loan |
No loan is being made in connection with the acquisition of the Incentive Performance Rights. |
| Price or other consideration the Company will receive for the Securities |
The Incentive Performance Rights will be issued at a nil issue price. |
| Date(s) on or by which the Securities will be issued |
The Company expects to issue the Securities within 5 Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not issue any Securities later than 3 years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). |
| Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
The purpose of the issue is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and reward their performance as Directors and to provide cost effective remuneration to the Related Parties, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties. |
| Consideration of type of Security to be issued |
The Company has agreed to issue the Incentive Performance Rights for the following reasons: a) the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders; b) the issue to the Related Parties will align the interests of the recipients with those of Shareholders; c) the issue is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to each of the Related Parties; and |
