How to Vote
The ways in which you can vote are outlined below.
Appointment of Proxy
If you are a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote, you may appoint a proxy to attend and act on your behalf at the 2019 AGM. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company and can be an individual or a body corporate.
If a Shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes at the 2019 AGM, the Shareholder may appoint one or two proxies. If two proxies are appointed, the appointing Shareholder may specify the proportion or number of their votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. In accordance with Rule 49.4 of the Company's Constitution, if no proportion or number is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder’s votes.
If a body corporate is appointed as a proxy, that body corporate must ensure that it appoints a corporate representative in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act to exercise its powers as proxy at the 2019 AGM
To be effective, the proxy must be received at the Share Registry of the Company no later than 11.00am (Sydney time) on Monday, 18 November 2019 . Proxies must be received before that time by one of the following methods:

Undirected proxies
If the Chair of the meeting is appointed or taken to be appointed as a proxy and you do not specify in the Proxy Form the manner in which you wish the Chair to vote on the resolution to be considered at the meeting, then by submitting your Proxy Form you will be expressly authorising the Chair to exercise your proxy on the relevant resolution.

Corporate Representatives
A body corporate which is a Shareholder, or which has been appointed as a proxy, is entitled to appoint any person to act as its representative at the 2019 AGM. The appointment of the representative must comply with the requirements under section 250D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The representative should bring to the 2019 AGM a properly executed letter or other document confirming its authority to act as the company’s representative. A “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” form may be obtained from the Company’s share registry or online at www.linkmarketservices.com.au

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu has given, and has not withdrawn, its consent to act as external auditor of ReadyTech.
In accordance with section 328B(1) of the Act, notice in writing nominating Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as auditor has been given to the Company by a shareholder. A copy of this notice is Attachment A to this Notice.
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
Resolution 5. Approval of additional share issue capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables certain companies to seek Shareholder approval by special resolution to issue equity securities equivalent to an additional 10% of the number of ordinary securities on issue over a 12 month period ( 10% Placement Facility ). This is in addition to the existing 15% placement capacity permitted by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
A company is eligible to seek shareholder approval for this additional placement capacity if it satisfies both of the following criteria at the date of its annual general meeting:
-
a. it has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less; and
-
b. it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index.
The Company currently satisfies both the above criteria, and it is anticipated that it will satisfy both these criteria at the date of the AGM.
For illustrative purposes, the Company’s market capitalisation was $149 million based on a closing price of $1.87 on 10 October 2019.
Accordingly, Resolution 5 is seeking approval of ordinary Shareholders by special resolution for the issue of such number of equity securities as calculated under the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, at an issue price as permitted by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3 to such persons as the Board may determine, on the terms as described in this Explanatory Memorandum.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 80,005,367 fully paid ordinary shares. There were no shares issued during the year as part of the 15% capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. There were also no shares issued during the year as part of the 10% additional capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
Based on the above, and as an example only, the Company would (as at the date this notice of meeting is finalised) have capacity to issue:
-
a. 12,000,805 (15% x 80,005,367) equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
b. 8,000,536 (10% x 80,005,367) equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (subject to approval of Resolution 5).
The actual number of equity securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (and ASX Listing Rule 7.1 as applicable) will be calculated at the date of issue of the equity securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (and ASX Listing Rule 7.1 as applicable).
That formula is:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(a) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(b) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(c) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid Shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;
-
(d) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.
-
Note that ‘A’ is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
-
D is 10%
-
E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue, that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.
The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue during the period up to 12 months after the AGM, in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided:
-
Minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued – The minimum price at which the equity securities will be issued will be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for ordinary shares calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades are recorded immediately before:
-
a. the date on which the price at which the shares are to be issued is agreed; or
-
b. if the shares are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph a., the date on which the shares are issued.
-
Risk of economic and voting dilution – If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing ordinary Shareholders face the risk of economic and voting dilution as a result of the issue of equity securities which are the subject of this Resolution, to the extent that such equity securities are issued, including:
-
a. the market price of equity securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date on which this approval is being sought; and
-
b. the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.
- The following table gives examples of the potential dilution of existing ordinary Shareholders on the basis of the market price of shares and the number of ordinary securities for variable “A”, calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2. The table demonstrates various examples as to the number of equity securities that may be issued under the additional 10% Placement Facility.
The table also shows:
-
a. two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
b. two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

1 Variable “A” in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
-
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
a. the Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Placement Facility in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;
-
b. the 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%;
-
c. the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the AGM;
-
d. the table shows only the effect of issues of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
-
e. the issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of shares; and
-
f. the issue price is $1.87 per share[2] , being the closing price of the shares on ASX on 10 October 2019.
-
Date by which the Company may issue the securities – If any of the shares being approved by this Resolution are issued, they will be issued during the placement period, that is, within 12 months of the date of the AGM (i.e. by 20 November 2020) and the approval being sought under Resolution 5 will cease to be valid if ordinary Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking) prior to 20 November 2020.
-
Purpose for which the equity securities may be issued – The Company may seek to issue the equity securities for the following purposes:
-
a. cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), continued development of the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital; or
-
b. non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
-
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
Details of the Company’s allocation policy for issues under approval – The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of allottees of any equity securities that may be issued (subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 5) have not been determined as at the date of this Notice, but may include existing Shareholders and/or parties who are not currently Shareholders and are not related parties or associates of the Company. Any potential allottees will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including, but not limited to, the following:
-
