EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice convening the Annual General Meeting of Members of Saferoads Holdings Limited (the “Company”) to be held at 2.00pm AEDT on Wednesday 25 November 2020.
This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist Members in understanding the background to, and the legal and other implications of, the Notice and the reasons for the proposed resolution. Both documents should be read in their entirety and in conjunction with each other.
ITEM 2: ADOPTION OF THE REMUNERATION REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed Company’s Annual General Meeting, a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. Nevertheless, the Board will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering the future remuneration policies and practices of the Company.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2020.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
The Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2020:
-
Describes the policies behind, and the structure of, the remuneration arrangements of the Company and the link between remuneration of executives and the Company’s performance;
-
Sets out the remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel; and
-
Explains the difference between the basis for remunerating Non-Executive Directors and Senior Managers.
Voting consequences
Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on a Remuneration Report resolution are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report in two consecutive Annual General Meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution (“Spill Resolution”) proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting (“Spill Meeting”) to consider the appointment of Directors of the Company at the second Annual General Meeting.
If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the Spill Meeting within 90 days of the second Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors of the Company who were in office when the Directors Report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediately before the second Annual General Meeting) was approved, other than the Executive Directors of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors of the Company is approved will be the Directors of the Company.
At the Company’s previous Annual General Meeting the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that Annual General Meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
Proxy Restrictions
Members of the Key Management Personnel (“KMP”) and their proxies and Closely Related Parties (“CRP”) are restricted from voting on a resolution put to Shareholders that the Remuneration Report of the Company be adopted.
SAFEROADS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN 81 116 668 538
4
The Voting Restriction does not apply where:
-
(a) the chairperson or any other member of the KMP is appointed in writing (by a shareholder who is not a member of the KMP or a CRP of KMP) as a proxy with specific instructions on how to vote on a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report of the Company; or
-
(b) the chairperson is appointed in writing (by a shareholder who is not KMP or a CRP of KMP) as a proxy with no specific instructions on how to vote on a non-binding shareholder vote on remuneration, where the shareholder provides express authorisation for the chairperson to do so.
Shareholders should be aware that any undirected proxies given to the Chairperson will be cast by the Chairperson and counted in favour of the resolutions of this Meeting, including this Resolution, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
Definitions
Key Management Personnel (“KMP”) has the same meaning as in the accounting standards and broadly includes those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company.
Closely related party of a member of the KMP means:
-
(a) A spouse or child of the member;
-
(b) A child of the member’s spouse;
-
(c) A dependant of the member or the member’s spouse;
-
(d) Anyone else who is one of the member’s family and may be expected to influence the member, or be influenced by the member, in the member’s dealing with the entity;
-
(e) A company the member controls; or
-
(f) A person prescribed by the Corporation Act 2001 (Cth).
ITEM 3: ELECTION OF MR. HAYDEN WALLACE AS A DIRECTOR
In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, Directors have power at any time to appoint any person to be a director to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors. The appointed Director will hold office until the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company when the Director may be re-elected but will not be taken into account in determining the number of directors who must retire by rotation.

He is the founding director and a major shareholder of Safe Direction Pty Ltd, a company that designs, manufactures, supplies and installs innovative guardrail systems and safety barriers for roads, car parks, warehouses and pedestrians.
