BY ORDER OF THE BOARD

ANDREW J. COOKE JOINT COMPANY SECRETARY DATED: 17 OCTOBER 2014

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held on Tuesday, 18 November 2014 at 2.30 pm (Sydney time).

ORDINARY BUSINESS Financial Report – Year Ended 30 June 2014

Under the Corporations Act, the Directors are required to place before the meeting the Financial Report and associated reports of the Directors and the Auditors for the financial year ended 30 June 2014. No resolution is required for this item of business. However, Shareholders will have an opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions about, or make comments on, these reports and the management of the Company.

The Company's auditors will also be available to take Shareholders' questions about the conduct of the audit, the Independent Auditor's Report, the Company's accounting policies and the independence of the auditors in relation to the conduct of their audit.

Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Board is presenting the Company's Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2014 for consideration and adoption. The Remuneration Report is set out in section C of the Directors' Report appearing in the Company's 2014 Annual Report.

The Remuneration Report contains information regarding:

the Company's remuneration policies and their relationship with the Company's performance;

  • the remuneration of the Directors and certain senior executives of the SubZero Group for the year ended 30 June 2014; and
  • the incentive arrangements in place for the Company's executives.

The Corporations Act provides that the vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of the votes that are cast are against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive AGMs, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (Spill Resolution) that another general meeting (Spill Meeting) be held to consider the re-election of the Directors.

If more than 50% of the votes cast on the Spill Resolution are in favour, the Spill Meeting must be held within 90 days. All of the Directors who were Directors when the resolution to make the directors' report considered at the second AGM was passed (other than the Managing Director) will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting, unless they are re-elected at the Spill Meeting.

At the Company's 2013 AGM, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that meeting were below 25%. Accordingly, a Spill Resolution cannot be put at this Meeting.

Shareholders will also have an opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
