EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 10.00am (WST) on, Friday 1 May 2020 at 945 Wellington Street, West Perth Western Australia.
This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with and forms part of the accompanying Notice of Meeting. The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.
Proxy forms have been sent out with this Notice.
1. RESOLUTION 1– RAT IFIC ATION OF PR IOR ISSUE
1.1 General
On 15 November 2019, the Company issued 70,255 Shares ( Advisor Shares ) to BW Equities nominee, TR Nominees Pty Ltd, in lieu of cash fees for corporate advisory services provided by BW Equities. BW Equities was engaged to provide corporate advisory services to the Company which included general advice in respect to ASX announcements, investor presentations, business strategy, market updates and research insights and received a corporate advisory retainer of $5,000 per month, which has now ceased. BW Equities agreed to receive 70,255 Shares at an indicative issue price of $0.225 per Share as payment for cash invoices totalling $15,807.
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.2 set out various types of equity issues that are excluded from the operation of Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. The issue of the Advisor Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by 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 date of issue of the Advisor Shares.
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 without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Advisor Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the Advisor Shares will 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 date of issue of the Advisor Shares.
9
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Advisor 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 date of issue of the Advisor Shares.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
1.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5 information regarding the issue of the Advisor Shares is provided as follows:
-
(a) 70,255 Shares were issued by the Company on 15 November 2019 to BW Equities nominee, TR Nominees Pty Ltd.
-
(b) The Advisor Shares were issued for nil cash consideration as the Advisor Shares were issued in lieu of cash fees for corporate advisory services provided by BW Equities. Accordingly no funds were raised from the issue.
-
(c) The Advisor Shares were issued at a deemed issue price of $0.225 per Share in lieu of cash fees payable of $15,807.
-
(d) The Advisor Shares are fully paid ordinary shares of the Company ranking equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares of the Company.
-
(e) The Advisor Shares were issued to TR Nominees Pty Ltd who is not a related party of the Company.
-
(f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

On 8 April 2019 the Company issued 500,000 Shares to Michael Clarke's nominee, for the first year of services provided by Michael Clarke under the Brand Ambassadorial Agreement.

The Company will issue such number of Shares ( Year 2 Ambassador Shares ) to Michael Clarke (and/or his nominees) as determined in accordance with the following formula:
Year 2 Ambassador Shares = 100,000 Issue Price

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.1.
The agreement to issue the Year 2 Ambassador Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by 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 date that the Company entered into the Brand Ambassadorial Agreement.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.4 is set out in Section 1.1.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to the agreement to issue the Year 2 Ambassador Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the agreement to issue the Year 2 Ambassador Shares will 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 date that the Company entered into the Brand Ambassadorial Agreement.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the agreement to issue the Year 2 Ambassador 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 date that the Company entered into the Brand Ambassadorial Agreement.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

13
If Resolution 3 is passed, the issue of the Executive Remuneration Shares will 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 date of issue of the Executive Remuneration Shares.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the issue of the Executive Remuneration 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 date of issue of the Executive Remuneration Shares.
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.
3.3 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5 information regarding the issue of the Executive Remuneration Shares is provided as follows:
-
(a) 1,856,507 Shares were issued by the Company on 2 March 2020 to the Executives.
-
(b) The Executive Remuneration Shares were issued for nil cash consideration as the Executive Remuneration Shares were issued in lieu of part of the Executive's cash salary of approximately $233,920 for the next 12 months. Accordingly no funds were raised from the issue.
-
(c) The Executive Remuneration Shares are fully paid ordinary shares of the Company ranking equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares of the Company.
-
(d) The Executive Remuneration Shares were issued to the Executives, none of whom are related parties of the Company.

4. RESOLUTION 4 - AUTHORITY TO ISSUE SHARES TO PETER PAW LOWTISCH
4.1 Background – Director Security Based Remuneration
As outlined in Section 3.1 under the Company’s remuneration and incentive plan for 2020, the Executives and a Non-executive Director has agreed to receive securities (comprising either Shares and/or Remuneration Performance Rights) in lieu of all or part of their base cash salary for the next 12 months. The base salaries of the Directors agreeing to receive Securities in lieu of their cash salaries is outlined below
| salaries is outlined below | |
|---|---|
| Director | Base salary (per annum) |
| Peter Pawlowitsch | $80,000 |
| Tim Levy | $300,000 |
| Crispin Swan | $300,000 |
Mr Pawlowitsch has agreed (subject to Shareholder approval) to receive his entire annual salary for the next 12 months in Shares. The number of Shares ( Director Remuneration Shares ) to be issued to Mr Pawlowitsch will be equal to:
80,000/ 5 day VWAP of Shares prior to the issue date of the Director Remuneration Shares
The Company has determined that this formula is an effective way of determining the market price of Shares on the date of issue to Mr Pawlowitsch.
14
Outlined below are examples of the number of Director Remuneration Shares that would be issued to Mr Pawlowitsch under differing Share price scenarios. As at [16 March 2020] the 5 day VWAP of the Company’s Shares was $0.09.
| the Company’s Shares was $0.09. | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 day VWAP of Shares prior to the issue date of the Director Remuneration Shares |
0.06 | $0.09 | $0.12 | $0.15 |
| Formula | 80,000/0.06 | 80,000/0.09 | 80,000/0.12 | 80,000/0.15 |
| Number of Director Remuneration Shares issued |
1,333,333 | 888,888 | 666,667 | 533,333 |
Mr Levy has agreed to receive 1,071,429 Remuneration Performance Rights in lieu of 50% of his base salary for the next 12 months (representing $150,000). Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Remuneration Performance Rights to Mr Levy (or his nominee) (refer to Section 5.1 for further details).
Mr Swan has agreed to receive 814,286 Remuneration Performance Rights in lieu of 38% of his base salary for the next 12 months (representing $114,000). Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Remuneration Performance Rights to Mr Swan (or his nominee) (refer to Section 5.1 for further details).
4.2 General
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
(a) a related party
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months prior to the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months prior to the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them the right or expectation to do so;
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in paragraphs (a) to (c) above; or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of the Director Remuneration Shares to Mr Pawlowitsch falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Director Remuneration Shares to Mr Pawlowitsch.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will issue the Director Remuneration Shares to Mr Pawlowitsch and this issue will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
15
If Resolution 4 is not passed then the Director Remuneration Shares will not be issue to Mr Pawlowitsch and he will receive his remuneration for the next 12 months in cash.
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
4.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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 of the Director Remuneration Shares to Mr Pawlowitsch constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Pawlowitsch is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
After a review of publicly available information relating to the remuneration structures of several of its peer companies, the Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Remuneration Shares to Mr Pawlowitsch because the issue of these shares in lieu of cash remuneration is considered reasonable remuneration.
4.4 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:
- (d) The maximum number of Shares to be issued to Mr Peter Pawlowitsch (or his nominee) will be calculated based on the Market Value Formula being
80,000/ 5 day VWAP of Shares prior to the Director Remuneration Share issue date
See Section 4.1 for examples of the number of Shares that may be issued based on various Share prices.
-
(e) The Director Remuneration Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
-
(f)
-
Mr Pawlowitsch is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
-
(g) The Director Remuneration Shares will be issued granted for nil cash consideration as they are being issued in lieu of annual cash remuneration payable of $80,000. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of these Shares.
-
(h) The Director Remuneration Shares will comprise fully paid ordinary shares of the Company ranking equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares of the Company.
-
(i) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

As outlined in Section 4.1, the Company has agreed to issue 1,885,714 Remuneration Performance Rights to Executive Directors, Tim Levy and Crispin Swan in lieu of a portion of their cash salaries ($264,000 in aggregate) for the next 12 months.
In addition, Executive Directors, Tim Levy and Crispin Swan are also eligible to participate in the employee incentive scheme and executive incentive scheme outlined in Section 3.1.

A summary of the proposed Performance Rights to be issued to the Executive Directors (together the ED Performance Rights ) is outlined below.

| Total | 1,885,714 | 2,500,000 | 600,000 | 1,000,000 |
1. The Company has determined the number of Remuneration Performance Rights to be issued to the Executive Directors based on the issue price of the last capital raising undertaken by the Company being $0.14
2. To be issued in lieu of $150,000 of Mr Levy's cash salary.
3. To be issued in lieu of $114,000 of Mr Swan's cash salary.
4. The Employee Performance Rights are issued in three equal tranches comprising the Class A Employee Performance Rights, Class B Employee Performance Rights and Class C Employee Performance Rights.
-
Comprising 100,000 Class A SP Performance Rights, 200,000 Class B SP Performance Rights, 300,000 Class C SP Performance Rights and 400,000 Class D SP Performance Rights.
-
The terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are outlined in Schedule 1.
The ED Performance Rights are to be issued by the Company under the Performance Rights Plan, which was approved by Shareholders on 28 November 2017.
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme:
-
(a) a director of the Company;
-
(b) an associate of a director of the Company; or
-
(c) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of the ED Performance Rights to the Executive Directors falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
17
Resolutions 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the grant of the ED Performance Rights to Messrs Levy and Swan (or their nominees) for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.
If Resolutions 5 and 6 are passed, the Company will issue the ED Performance Rights to Messrs Levy and Swan and this issue will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. If Resolutions 5 and 6 are not passed then the Company will not issue the ED Performance Rights to Messrs Levy and Swan and they would receive their base salary for the next 12 months in cash.
The ED Performance Rights will be subject to the Vesting Conditions outlined below.
| Performance Rights |
Vesting Condition | Milestone Date |
Number of Performance Rights Vesting | Expiry Date |

18
Once the applicable Vesting Condition has been satisfied, the number of Performance Rights specified in the above table will vest.
The above Performance Rights will each convert into a Share for no consideration on exercise by the holder once vested.
If a Vesting Condition of a Performance Right is not achieved by the applicable Milestone Date, then the Performance Right will lapse. If a vested Performance Right is not exercised on or before the Expiry Date, then the Performance Right will lapse.
If a Change of Control Event (as defined in Schedule 1) occurs prior to the expiry or conversion of a Performance Right, then the Performance Right will convert.
The principle terms of the Performance Rights are summarised in Schedule 1. Further terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are set out in the Performance Rights Plan a summary of which is provided in Schedule 2.
Outlined below are examples of the number of Executive Performance Rights that will vest under differing annual recurring revenue scenarios
| Consolidated revenues reported for the month of June 20211= (A) |
$1.1m | $1.3m | $1.6m | $1.8m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ARR (A x12) | $13.2m | $15.6m | 19.2m | $21.6m |
| Number of Executive Performance Rights held by Executive Directors |
2,500,000 | 2,500,000 | 2,500,000 | 2,500,000 |
| Number of Executive Performance Rights vesting2 | 0 | 1,950,000 | 2,400,000 | 2,500,000 |
1. Inclusive of contracted revenue and uncontracted revenue and exclusive of one off revenues such as installation fees, hardware and any R&D or other grant revenue
2. Calculated using formula below
- [ARR at the Milestone Date[1] / $16m] x [(Number Executive Performance Rights held) x (100/125)]
Shareholder approval is required for the grant of the Performance Rights under the Performance Rights Plan to Mr Levy and Mr Swan under Listing Rule 10.14 because they are Directors of the Company.
As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required. Accordingly, the issue of ED Performance Rights to the Directors will not reduce the Company's 15% capacity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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.
19
The issue of the ED Performance Rights to Messrs Levy and Swan constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Levy and Swan are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
After a review of publicly available information relating to the remuneration structures of several of its peer companies, the Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the ED Performance Rights to Messrs Levy and Swan because the issue of these securities is considered reasonable remuneration.
5.3 Information required by Listing Rule 10.15
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 and 6:
-
(a) The maximum number of securities to be issued to
-
(i) Mr Levy (or his nominee) under Resolution 5 is:
-
(A) 1,071,429 Remuneration Performance Rights;
-
(B) 300,000 Employee Performance Rights (comprising 100,000 Class A Employee Performance Rights, 100,000 Class B Employee Performance Rights and 100,000 Class C Employee Performance Rights);

-
-
(ii) Mr Swan (or his nominees) under Resolution 6 is:
-
(A) 814,286 Remuneration Performance Rights;
-
(B) 300,000 Employee Performance Rights (comprising 100,000 Class A Employee Performance Rights, 100,000 Class B Employee Performance Rights and 100,000 Class C Employee Performance Rights); and
-
(C) 1,250,000 Executive Performance Rights; and
-
(b) Approval is required to issue the ED Performance Rights to Mr Swan and Mr Levy as they fall within Listing Rule 10.14.1 by virtue of being Directors.
- (c) The value attributed to each of the Performance Rights is outlined below. These values are based on an independent valuation by Stantons International Securities Pty Ltd ( Stantons ) at a deemed grant date of 9 March 2020.
Ltd (Stantons) at a deemed grant date of 9 March |
2020. |
|---|---|
| Value per Performance Right | |
| Remuneration Performance Right | $0.0950 |
| Employee Performance Right | $0.0950 |
| Executive Performance Right | $0.0950 |
| Class A SP Performance Rights | $0.0716 |
| Class B SP Performance Rights | $0.0600 |
| Class C SP Performance Rights | $0.0538 |
| Class D SP Performance Rights | $0.0470 |
20
Independent accountants, Stantons have determined the value attributed to the Remuneration Performance Rights, Employee Performance Rights and Executive Performance Rights (all which have non-market based vesting conditions) using the Black & Scholes valuation methodology. For valuation purposes these Performance Right are considered zero priced options given they will be issued for nil consideration and no consideration is payable on their conversion into Shares. The non-market based vesting conditions have not been taken into account in assessing the fair value of the Remuneration Performance Rights, Employee Performance Rights and Executive Performance Rights.
Key input assumptions to the Black & Scholes valuation include, the Company’s Share price on the deemed grant date of 9 March 2020, the exercise price, the term of the Performance Right, the expected volatility of the underlying Shares (based on 12 month historic volatility of the Shares), the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the Performance Rights.
The SP Performance Rights (which are subject to market based vesting conditions) have been valued using the Monte Carlo simulation methodology which incorporates the effect of the market based vesting conditions directly into the Monte Carlo simulation. Under this model, the SP Performance Rights value has been estimated using the average present value of the payoff of 100,000 simulated outcomes.
Based on these valuations, the implied total value of the ED Performance Rights to be issued to:
(i) Mr Levy under Resolution 5 is $303,136; and
(ii) Mr Swan under Resolution 6 is $224,607.
Refer to Section 5.3(d) below for further details in regard to Executive Director remuneration.
(d) The Executive Directors total remuneration package based on the indicative values attributed to the ED Performance Rights outlined in Section 5.3(c) is outlined in the table below.

2. To be issued in lieu of $114,000 of Mr Swan's cash salary.
In accordance with Accounting Standards the total value of the Performance Rights will be expensed over the vesting period of the Performance Rights. The Executive Directors’ effective 12 month remuneration package, based on the indicative values attributed to the ED Performance Rights outlined in Section 5.3(c) and expensing the total security based remuneration over a 12 month period, is outlined in the table below.

(e) The ED Performance Rights will be granted with the vesting conditions, milestone date and expiry dates as set out in Section 5.1. The principle terms and conditions of the ED Performance Rights are set out in Schedule 1.
(f) The Company’s remuneration and incentive plan for 2020 (outlined further in Section 3.1) included the issue of Performance Rights as part of short and long term programs to reward and incentivise staff rather than cash based bonuses.
The Remuneration Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Executive Directors are in lieu of cash remuneration of $264,000 for the next 12 months. As the Company continues to manage its cash costs to progress towards a more sustainable cash flow position this form of remuneration represent a cash cost saving and also highlights the Executive Directors’ commitment to the Company having chosen to receive the Remuneration Performance Rights in lieu of a portion of their cash salary.
The Executive Directors are entitled to participate in the Company’s employee and executive incentive schemes and are proposed to be issued 600,000 Employee Performance Rights and 2,500,000 Executive Performance Rights. The Employee Performance Rights are a long term incentive to reward and encourage the Executive
22
Directors’ ongoing commitment to the Company with time based vesting conditions. The Executive Performance Rights represent a short term incentive to link their remuneration and reward to the achievement of the Company’s strategic goal, being the growth in its annual recurring revenue.
The SP Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Mr Levy as Managing Director reflect his position and again are designed to encourage and align his remuneration and reward to the growth in Shareholder value with share price based vesting targets.
- (g) The ED Performance Rights will be granted no 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).
The ED Performance Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration. The Remuneration Performance Rights are being issued in lieu of cash remuneration payable of $264,000. The Company has determined the number of Remuneration Performance Rights to be issued to the Executive Directors based on the issue price of the last capital raising undertaken by the Company being $0.14 each. The other ED Performance Rights are being issued as security incentive based remuneration. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the ED Performance Rights. Upon conversion of the ED Performance Rights, Shares will be issued on a one for one basis on the same terms as the Company's existing Shares.
-
(h)
-
A summary of the Performance Rights Plan is set out in Schedule 2.
-

Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in the Performance Rights Plan after Resolutions 5 and 6 are approved and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.
- (k) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
6. RESOLUTION 7 - APPROVAL FOR C ANCELLATION O F PERFORMANCE SHARES
On 15 August 2016, the Company issued 9,333,333 Class C Performance Shares to the founders of the Company in consideration for the cancellation of existing Shares held by them as part of the restructure of the Company’s share capital prior to its listing on ASX. A further 1,166,665 Class C Performance Shares were issued to senior executives as security based remuneration.
The Class C Performance Shares vest on achievement of $20,000,000 revenue by the Company over a 12 month rolling period of which 30% is subscription income (as confirmed by the Company's auditor) within 48 months of the Company being admitted to the official list of the ASX (being 29 August 2020).
The Company is seeking to cancel the Class C Performance Shares to remove these from the Company’s share capital given that that the vesting condition is unlikely to be met and therefore these securities will lapse on 29 August 2020.
23
Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 7 to cancel the 10,499,998 Class C Performance Shares.
Resolution 7 is a special resolution.
6.1 Corporations Act Requirements
To enable the Company to make the capital reduction by cancelling the Class C Performance Shares, section 256C(2) of the Corporations Act requires a special resolution of the Shareholders passed at a general meeting. A special resolution is a resolution that has been passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution, either in person or by proxy.
The cancellation of the Class C Performance Shares must also be approved by a special resolution passed at a meeting of the Class C Performance Shareholders. The Company will hold a meeting of the Class C Performance Shareholders for this purpose immediately prior to this Meeting.
The capital reduction proposed for the Company is a selective reduction because the terms of the reduction will not be the same for all classes of shares on issue. Only the Class C Performance Shares held by the Class C Performance Shareholders will be cancelled.
Section 256B of the Corporations Act provides that a company may reduce its share capital by cancelling shares for no consideration if the reduction:
-
(a) is fair and reasonable to the company's shareholders as a whole; and
-
(b) is approved by shareholders (as mentioned previously) under section 256C of the Corporations Act.
The Directors of the Company consider that the proposed capital reduction is fair and reasonable to the Company's Shareholders as a whole because the vesting condition for the conversion of the Class C Performance Shares is unlikely to be met and therefore these will lapse in August 2020. Therefore, the Directors consider it appropriate and necessary to cancel the Class C Performance Shares for no consideration.
There is no information known to the Company that is material to the decision on how to vote on the Resolution other than has been disclosed in this Notice.
Under the Corporations Act, the Company may cancel the Class C Performance Shares 14 days after Resolution 7 and the resolution of the Class C Performance Shareholders approving the same cancellation have been passed and lodged with ASIC.
7. RESOLUTION 8 – AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUT ION
7.1 General
The Company is currently governed by its Constitution.
Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a Company can modify its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution. Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval to amend its Constitution by a special resolution of Shareholders as set out below.
A copy of the amended Constitution will be sent to Shareholders on request and will also be available for inspection at the registered office of the Company during normal business hours prior to the Meeting.
24
Changes to the Listing Rules that commenced on 1 December 2019 require a listed entity's constitution to contain certain provisions regarding Restricted Securities (as that term is defined in the Listing Rules) if the entity has any Restricted Securities on issue. Although the Company does not presently have any Restricted Securities on issue and does not have any present intentions to undertake a transaction which would result in the issue of Restricted Securities, the Board considers it prudent to take this opportunity to update the Constitution to ensure it complies with these new escrow requirements.
With effect from 1 December 2019, the ASX applied a two-tier escrow regime where ASX can require certain more significant holders of Restricted Securities and their controllers to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form of Appendix 9A of the Listing Rules, as was previously the case. However, for less significant holders of Restricted Securities, ASX instead permits an entity to rely on a provision in its constitution imposing appropriate escrow restrictions on the holders of Restricted Securities and to simply give a notice to such holders in the form set out in Appendix 9C of the Listing Rules, advising them of those restrictions.
To facilitate the operation of the new two-tier escrow regime implemented by the ASX, certain changes are required to the customary provisions of constitutions of ASX-listed entities regarding Restricted Securities.
7.2 Proposed Amendment
Articles 4.5(d) and 4.5(f) of the Constitution currently provide as follows:
- "(d) Except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX, the Company must refuse to acknowledge a disposal (including registering a transfer) of restricted securities during the escrow period for those securities.
…
- (f) The Company may apply, or may ask ASX Settlement to apply, a holding lock (including to prevent a transfer, or to refuse to register a paper-based transfer document) where the Applicable Law permits the Company to do so."
Pursuant to Resolution 8, the Company seeks Shareholder approval to delete Articles 4.5(d) and 4.5(f) of the Constitution in their entirety and replace them with the following:
-
"(d) The Company must comply with the Listing Rules in respect of restricted securities. Without limiting the Company's obligations to comply with the Listing Rules:
-
(i) a holder of restricted securities must not Dispose of, or agree to offer to Dispose of, the securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX;
-
(ii) if the restricted securities are in the same class as quoted securities, the holder will be taken to have agreed in writing that the restricted securities are to be kept on the Company's issuer sponsored subregister and are to have a holding lock applied for the duration of the escrow period applicable to those securities;
-
(iii) the Company will refuse to acknowledge any Disposal (including, without limitation, to register any transfer), of restricted securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX;
25
-
(iv) a holder of restricted securities will not be entitled to participate in any return of capital on those securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX; and
-
(v) if a holder of restricted securities breaches a restriction deed or a provision of this Constitution restricting a Disposal of those securities, the holder will not be entitled to any dividend or distribution, or to exercise any voting rights, in respect of those securities for so long as the breach continues.
For the purposes of this Article 4.5(d), "Dispose" has the meaning given to that term in the Listing Rules and Disposal has a corresponding meaning.
- (f) Without limiting Article 4.5(d), the Company may apply, or may ask ASTC to apply, a holding lock (including to prevent a transfer, or to refuse to register a paper-based transfer document) where the Applicable Law permits the Company to do so."
Resolution 8 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 cast of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
