EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
to Notice of Annual General Meeting
This Explanatory Memorandum is provided to shareholders of Homeloans Limited (the “Company”) to explain the Resolutions contained in the attached Notice of Annual General Meeting and to be put to shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held at The Theatrette Level 4 The Atrium, 168 St George’s Terrace, Perth, Western Australia on Friday, 25 November 2011, at 11.00am (Perth time).
The Explanatory Memorandum provides shareholders with information that is reasonably required by shareholders to decide how to vote upon the Resolutions to be considered at the meeting. The Directors recommend that shareholders carefully read this Explanatory Memorandum before determining the manner in which they vote on a Resolution.
Other than as contained in the Notice of Annual General Meeting, this Explanatory Memorandum and the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2011, the directors believe that there is no other information known to the company or the directors that is reasonably required by shareholders to decide whether or not to pass each resolution.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
The Corporations Act requires the company’s financial statements and reports for the last financial year to be laid before the Annual General Meeting. The financial statements and reports are contained in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2011, which accompanies the Notice of Annual General Meeting (unless you have elected not to receive a copy of the report).
No resolution is required in relation to the financial statements and reports. However shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity to raise questions on the financial statements and reports.
The company’s auditors will also be present at the meeting and shareholders will have an opportunity to ask the auditors questions in relation to the conduct of the audit, the auditor’s report, the company’s accounting policies and the independence of the auditor.
��� �������������������
������� ����������������
The directors submit the company’s Remuneration Report to shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of a non-binding resolution. However, as a result of changes to the Corporations Act 2001 (generally known as the ‘two strikes rule’) which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast at the Annual General Meeting are cast against the adoption of the Remuneration Report for two consecutive years, the company will be required to put a resolution to shareholders (spill resolution) at the second annual general meeting (at which the second strike is recorded) proposing the calling of a general meeting (spill meeting) to consider the appointment of directors of the company. If more than 50% of the shareholders vote in favour of the spill resolution the company must hold the spill meeting within 90 days of the Annual General Meeting.
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report which forms part of the Annual Report for 2011. The Remuneration Report sets out the remuneration paid to the directors and other key management personnel during the financial year. It also explains the Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of the remuneration paid by the company, the relationship between the Board’s remuneration policy and the company’s performance and the performance hurdles applicable to the remuneration of key management personnel.
The Company’s remuneration policies and practices have been designed to align the interests of directors and key management personnel of the company with those of the company’s shareholders. Although the vote on the proposed resolution is advisory, only the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing remuneration practices and policies.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to comment on and ask questions about the Company’s Remuneration Report.
������������������
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
��� ������������������������
