3. Annual Report

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.

4. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
4.1 General
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive and non-executive directors.
Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. Of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass this Resolution will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
However, under sections 250U and 250Y of the Corporations Act, Shareholders have the opportunity to remove the Board if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings (Two Strikes Rule).
Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
At the Company's last Annual General Meeting held on 29 November 2019 the Remuneration Report was approved by over 75% of Shareholders present and voting. In summary, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at this Meeting Shareholders should be aware that if there is a 'no' vote of 25% or more at the next annual general meeting the consequences are that all Directors (other than a Managing Director) may be up for re-election.
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chair of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention.
5. Resolutions 2 and 3 – Re-election of Garry Garside and Sam McDonagh as a Directors
5.1 General
Article 6.3 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, onethird of the Directors (rounded to the nearest whole number), must retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.
The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who have been Directors for the same period of time, those to retire shall be determined by lot (unless they agree otherwise).
A Director who retires by rotation under Article 6.3(c) is eligible for re-election.
Dr Garside and Mr McDonagh, having last been re-elected at the 2017 Annual General Meeting will both retire by rotation and, being eligible, seek re-election.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the election of Garry Garside as a Director.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the election of Sam McDonagh as a Director.
5.2 Information about Directors
(a) Dr Garry Garside
Dr Garside has extensive corporate experience, successfully establishing and operated a variety of businesses. He currently manages an emerging property development company and chairs a range of unlisted investment syndicates and companies.
Dr Garside is currently the non-executive Chair of the Company and serves as a member of the Audit and Risk Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Dr Garside has no directorships of other ASX-Listed companies.
(b) Mr Sam McDonagh
Mr McDonagh is a Chartered Accountant and has over 20 years' experience in senior management roles at online and technology companies including roles as Country Manager of Airbnb Australia and New Zealand, General Manager of eBay in Southeast Asia and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for iiNet Limited.
Mr McDonagh is a member of the Company's Audit and Risk Committee and has no directorships of any other ASX-Listed companies.
5.3 Board Recommendation
The Board (other than Dr Garside) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 and the Board (other than Mr McDonagh) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
Resolutions 2 and 3 are ordinary Resolutions.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 2 and 3.
6. Resolution 4 – Ratification of Prior Placement
6.1 General
On 9 September 2020 the Company announced a placement of 33,333,333 Shares (Prior Placement Shares) each at an issue price of $0.045, to raise $1,499,999.99 before costs (Prior Placement). Lazarus Corporate Finance Pty Ltd acted as lead manager to the Prior Placement and was paid a 6% fee on the total funds raised under the Prior Placement for acting in this role.
The Company completed the Prior Placement on 15 September 2020. The Prior Placement Shares were issued by the Company to the Prior Placement Participants using its annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 without the need for Shareholder approval.
The funds raised from the issue of the Prior Placement Shares have been, or will be, used to continue development of RentPay, the Company's new tenancy period product and to meet the costs of the Prior Placement.
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 ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
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 (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1). 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.
Accordingly, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of the Prior Placement Shares (which were issued pursuant to the Company's 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the issue of the Prior Placement 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 Prior Placement Shares.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the issue of the Prior Placement 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 Prior Placement Shares.
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
6.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:
- (a) On 15 September 2020, 33,333,333 Shares were issued pursuant to the Prior Placement.
- (b) The Prior Placement Shares were issued to various sophisticated and professional investors (as defined by s708 of the Corporations Act) who are existing clients of Lazarus Corporate Finance Pty Ltd, none of whom are a related party of the Company.
- (c) None of the Prior Placement Participants are a related party or substantial holder of the Company, a member of the Company's key management personnel, an adviser to the Company, or any associates of those persons who received more than 1% of the Company's issued capital and accordingly none of the Prior Placement Participants are material investors there for the purposes of ASX guidance note 21 paragraph 7.2.
- (d) The Prior Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.
- (e) The Prior Placement Shares were issued at $0.045 each.
- (f) The Prior Placement raised $1,500,000 (before costs). The funds raised will be used as set out in the table below:
| Use of Funds | Amount |
|---|---|
| Development costs of RentPay, the Company's new tenancy period product | $1,401,752 |
| Costs of the Prior Placement (lead manager fee, ASX charges, legal, share registry, etc.) | $98,248 |
| Total | $1,500,000 |
(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
7. Resolution 5 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
7.1 General
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 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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% (10% Placement Facility).
An 'eligible entity' means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes. Based on the closing price of the Company's Shares on ASX on 15 October 2020 (being $0.055 per Share), the Company's market capitalisation is approximately $17 million.
Resolution 5 seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without shareholder approval.
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 7.2 c) below).
The Company intends to continue the development and launch of RentPay. The Company may use the 10% Placement Facility for these purposes and for general working capital.
Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 5 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
7.2 Description of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
a) Shareholder approvals
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has only one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: RNT).
c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may, during the period of approval, issue or agree to issue, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:
- plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
-
plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where the convertible securities were issued/agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or the issues/agreement to issue the convertible securities was approved or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;
-
plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or the agreement was approved or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;
-
plus the number of any other Shares issued in the relevant period with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4
-
plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-
less the number of Shares cancelled in the relevant period.
Where the relevant period means the 12 month period preceding the date of the issue/agreement to issue the Equity Securities.
Note that A 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 relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.
7.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
a) Period for which 10% Placement Facility will be valid
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A will be valid from the date of the Meeting and will expire on the earlier to occur of:
- (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting;
- (ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; or
- (iii) the time and date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
(10% Placement Period).
b) Minimum Price
The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
- (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
- (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in subparagraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
c) Purpose of funds raised
The Company may only seek to issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for cash consideration. While the Company has no current intention to use the 10% Placement Facility, the Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability, if required, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the following purposes:
(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued development expenditure on the Company's current assets and general working capital; or
(ii) as non-cash consideration for the potential 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.
d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table.
There is a risk that:
- (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
- (ii) 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 table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
- (i) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. 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 Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and
- (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price

| 671,938,184 Shares | Funds raised | $1,679,845 | $3,359,691 | $6,719,382 |
* The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase because of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
- The Company issues/agrees to issue the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
- The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes listed Options, it is assumed that those listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
- No Options are exercised and no Performance Rights or Performance Shares converted into Shares before the date of the issue/agreement to issue the Equity Securities.
-
- At the date of this Notice there are 335,969,092 Shares on issue.
-
- The current market price is $0.050, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 15 October 2020.
Also note that in the table:
-
- The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued Share capital at the time of issue/agreement. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
- 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 Meeting. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
- The table shows only the effect of issues/agreements to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
e) Allocation Policy
The Company's allocation policy for issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the recipients of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
- (i) the purpose of the issue;
- (ii) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
- (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
- (iv) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
- (v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The recipients of Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets, technology or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets, technology or investments.
f) Previous issues under the 10% Placement Facility
In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting, the Company has not issued or agreed to issue any Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
7.4 Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
8. Resolutions 6 to 9 – Approval to grant Director Options to Directors
8.1 General
Between August 2017 and April 2020 the Directors received only 50% of their contracted fees and between May 2020 and October 2020 they received equity in lieu of fees. In October 2020 the Directors engaged BDO's Remuneration and Reward practice to review the structure and quantum of non-executive directors' fees in relation to market benchmarks (BDO Review).
The non-executive director's total annual remuneration package compared with the market benchmark determined by the BDO Review is set out in the table below:
| Cash Fees | Equity | Total | Benchmark | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Garry Garside | $55,000 | $24,041 | $79,041 | $94,000 |
| John Wood | $40,000 | $13,356 | $53,356 | $54,000 |
| Sam McDonagh | $40,000 | $13,356 | $53,356 | $54,000 |
| Phil Warren | $40,000 | $13,356 | $53,356 | $54,000 |
| $175,000 | $64,108 | $239,108 | $256,000 |
Following the results of the BDO Review, the Company is proposing to issue the non-executive directors, subject to Shareholder approval, a total of 7,200,000 Director Options as follows:
| DirectorDirectorOptions | Exercise Price | Term | Vesting Conditions | Black ScholesValuation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Garry Garside | 900,000 | $0.100 | 5 Years | 3 year service period | $0.029 |

| 1,500,000 | |||||
| Total | 7,200,000 |
The principle terms of the Director Options are summarised in Schedule 1.
8.2 Listing Rule 10.11
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 a 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 the company obtains the approval of its shareholders.
Dr Garside and Messrs Wood, McDonagh and Warren are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
The issue of the Director Options to Dr Garside and Messrs Wood, McDonagh and Warren (or their nominees) falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. The issue of the Director Options therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 6 to 9 seek Shareholder approval to issue the Director Options to each of Dr Garside and Messrs Wood, McDonagh and Warren (or their nominees) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolutions 6 to 9 are passed, the Company will issue the Director Options to Dr Garside and Messrs Wood, McDonagh and Warren (or their nominees).
If Resolutions 6 to 9 are not passed, the Company will not issue the Director Options to the Directors (or their nominees) and the Company will need to determine an alternative form of incentive for the Directors.
Resolutions 6 to 9 are ordinary resolutions.
8.3 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 Options to Dr Garside and Messrs Wood, McDonagh and Warren (or their nominees) pursuant to Resolutions 6 to 9 constitutes the giving of a financial benefit and each of them 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 the Company's peers listed on the ASX conducted by the BDO Review, the Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of issue of the Director Options because the issue of these Director Options is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.
8.4 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13:
- (a) The Director Options will be issued to Directors, Garry Garside, John Wood, Sam McDonagh and Phil Warren (or their nominees).
- (b) Approval is required to issue the Director Options to Dr Garside and Messrs Wood, McDonagh and Warren as they fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being Directors.
- (c) The maximum number of securities the Company may issue to:
- (d) The value attributed to each of the Director Options is set out in the table in section 8.1. This value is based on a deemed grant date of 15 October 2020 (being the date this notice was prepared).
Management have determined the value attributed to each of the Director Options (which have non-market based vesting conditions) using the Black & Scholes valuation methodology. The non-market based vesting conditions have not been taken into account in assessing the fair value of the Director Options.
Key input assumptions to the Black & Scholes valuation include, the Company's Share price on the deemed grant date of 15 October 2020, the exercise price, the term of the Option, 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 Director Options.
Based on this valuation, the implied total value of the Director Options to be issued to:
- (i) Dr Garside under Resolution 6 is $72,122 (being 3 years' award);
- (ii) Mr Wood under Resolution 7 is $40,068 (being 3 years' award);
- (iii) Mr McDonagh under Resolution 8 $40,068 (being 3 years' award); and
- (iv) Mr Warren under Resolution 9 is $40,068 (being 3 years' award).
- (e) The Director Options are exercisable at various exercise prices (being $0.10, $0.125 and $0.15) on or before the date that is 5 years from grant and are subject to a vesting condition that the holder provides 3 years' service as a Director.
- (f) Full terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Schedule 1. Shares issued on exercise of the Director Options will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ranking equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.
- (g) The Director Options will be issued no later than one 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).
- (h) The Director Options will be issued for nil consideration as they are being granted as incentive based remuneration. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Director Options
- (i) Dr Garside and Messrs Wood, McDonagh and Warren are currently entitled to receive a total annual remuneration package as set out below:
- (i) Dr Garry Garside is entitled to receive $55,000 per annum.
- (ii) Mr John Wood is entitled to receive $40,000 per annum.
- (iii) Mr Sam McDonagh is entitled to receive $40,000 per annum.
- (iv) Mr Phill Warren is entitled to receive $40,000 per annum.
- (j) A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.
