Notes on Business

As required by section 317 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) the Financial Report, Directors' Report and Auditor's Report of the Company for the most recent financial year will be presented to the meeting. The financial report contains the financial statements of HGL Limited and HGL Group.
There is no requirement for a formal resolution on this item.
The Chair of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting for Shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the management of the Company. Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask the Company's auditor, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, questions about its auditor's report, the conduct of its audit of the Company's financial report for the year ended 30 September 2020, the preparation and content of its auditor's report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in its preparation of the financial statements and the independence of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu in relation to the conduct of the audit.

An online form to facilitate the submission of questions can be found on the HGL website at www.hgl.com.au/site/investorinformation/annual-general-meetings.
Item 2. Adoption of Remuneration Report
2.1. Background
The Corporations Act requires listed companies to present their remuneration report for adoption by shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting. The complete Remuneration Report can be found on pages 6 – 11 of the 2020 Annual Report of the Company, forming part of the Director's report.
2.2. Remuneration Changes
With the appointment of a new CEO during December 2019, HGL restructured the remuneration package for the HGL CEO, reducing the base salary for that role and providing greater opportunity for short term incentives based on Company performance. In addition, and as approved by shareholders at the AGM in February 2020, the Company established an Employee Loan Funded Share Plan to provide suitable long term incentives to the Group's Key Management Personnel, and further aligning the interests of shareholders and management.
With the onset of COVID-19 in early 2020, all of HGL's Directors and Key Management Personnel took an effective 20% reduction in earnings in recognition of the uncertainty that was facing the business and economy in general. This reduction was supported by many staff across the business units, and the Board acknowledges those sacrifices made. The Company also considered that it was inappropriate to pay and short term incentives to Key Management Personnel in these circumstances.
Director fees have remained at a reduced level post balance date, with the Chair now receiving $50,000 per annum with all other Directors fees set at $48,000.
The Board considers that the remuneration structures, as outlined in the Remuneration Report, are appropriate for the size of the Company and the circumstances currently faced by the Group.
2.3. General
In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to present to its Shareholders the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report.
Pursuant to the Corporations Act, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more (Strike) at two consecutive annual general meetings.
As provided by section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the outcome of this item of business is advisory only and does not bind the Board or the Company. If item 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
2.4. Voting Exclusion Statement
As required by the Corporations Act, the Company will disregard any votes cast on item 2 by any member of the Company's key management personnel (Key Management Personnel or KMP) or a Closely Related Party of any such member unless the person:
- (i) votes as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the person is to vote on the Resolutions; or
- (ii) is the Chair of the Meeting and votes as a proxy appointed by writing that authorises the Chair to vote on the Resolutions even though that Resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of the Company's KMP.
What this means for Shareholders: If you intend to appoint a member of the KMP (such as one of the Directors) as your proxy, please ensure that you direct them how to vote on the proposed Resolution. If you intend to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, you can direct them how to vote by marking the boxes for item 2 (for example, if you wish to vote for, against or abstain from voting), or you can choose not to mark any of the boxes for item 2 and give the Chair your express authority to vote your undirected proxy (in which case the Chair will vote in favour of this item of business).

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

SIAL is a fund manager with an AFSL and an investment manager agreement for The Supervised Fund (TSF), which currently has $13.7m in funds under management. The acquisition of SIAL by the Company will provide additional revenue streams for HGL and assist future growth, and provides HGL with an existing entity to conduct funds management services instead of having to set up these operations.
Under the terms of the agreement, HGL would acquire 100% of the equity of SIAL in exchange for the issue of the Consideration Shares to the sellers of SIAL. The Consideration Shares are to be split as follows:
| Vendor | QuantityResolution | Approvals sought | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mr David Constable | 1,903,893 | 6 | Related party share issue (LR 10.11) | |
| Other Vendors | 1,096,107 | 7 | Placement of shares (LR 7.1) | |
| 3,000,000 |
One of the sellers of SIAL is Mr David Constable (or entities associated with him). Mr Constable is a Related Party of the Company, as he is the father of Mr Joseph Constable, a Director of the Company. In consideration for the sale of Mr Constable's shares in SIAL, it is proposed that he be issued 1,903,893 new Shares. As a Related Party of the Company, the Company is restricted from issuing Shares to Mr Constable (or entities associated with him) unless shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 6 seeks shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 in relation to 1,903,893 of the Consideration Shares to allow those Shares to be issued to Mr David Constable.If this Resolution is not passed by Shareholders, the Company will not proceed with the acquisition of SIAL, and the related Resolution 7 will not be put to the meeting.
6.2. ASX Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11.1 provides that a company must not issue equity securities to a Related Party without the approval of shareholders. Mr David Constable is a related party by virtue of being a relative of a Director of the Company, as set out in Listing Rule 10.11. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14, where approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is obtained, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 and the issue of securities will not be included in the Company's 15% limit.
6.3. Information required under ASX Listing Rule 10.13
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 the following information is provided in relation to the Resolution:
- (a) The related party is Mr David Constable who is a related party by virtue of being related to a Director of HGL Ltd;
- (b) The maximum number of Shares to be issued to Mr Constable is 1,903,893 fully paid ordinary shares (the maximum number of shares to be issued under the transaction is 3,000,000);
- (c) The consideration received in relation to the issue is Mr Constable's ownership interest in SIAL;
- (d) The new Shares will rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares on issue;
- (e) The new Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules); and
- (f) The issue is being used to acquire SIAL.
6.4. Voting Exclusion Statement

- (i) it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or
- (ii) it is cast by the Chair as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides; or
- (iii) it is cast by a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:
- a. the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the Resolution; and
b. the holder votes on the Resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.
6.5. Directors' Recommendation
The Directors (with Mr Joseph Constable abstaining) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
Item 7. Issue of 1,096,107 Ordinary Shares
7.1. Background
As outlined in Resolution 6, the Company has reached an in principal agreement to acquire 100% of the equity in Supervised Investments Australia Limited (SIAL) for consideration of 3,000,000 new Shares (the Consideration Shares).
Resolution 7 seeks shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 1,096,107 Consideration Shares to the sellers of SIAL so that the issue of securities will not be included in the Company's 15% limit.
If this Resolution is not passed by Shareholders, the Company will not proceed with the acquisition of SIAL.
7.2. ASX Listing Rule 7.1
This Resolution seeks shareholder approval of the issue of the Consideration Shares under Listing Rule 7.1. The purpose of seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of the Consideration Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 is to allow the Company to rely on Listing Rule 7.2, exception 17, where an issue of securities is approved by Shareholders, that issue of securities will not be included in the Company's 15% limit.
7.3. Information required under ASX Listing Rule 7.3
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Resolution:
- (a) The 1,096,107 Consideration Shares will be issued to the other Vendors of SIAL (excluding Mr Constable as described above);
- (b) The issue price of each Consideration Share to be issued will be deemed to be $0.24 per Share;
- (c) The Consideration Shares will rank equally with all existing Shares;
- (d) The Consideration Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules); and
- (e) The issue is being used to acquire SIAL.
The Board believe that the approval of the issue of the Shares is beneficial to the Company as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue the maximum number of equity securities permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 to raise additional capital without first obtaining Shareholder approval. Shareholders should note that the Board does not currently have plans to raise additional capital beyond the issues outlined in this Notice.
7.4. Voting Exclusion Statement
The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Item 7 by or on behalf of the sellers of SIAL and their respective associates, including Mr David Constable, or any of his associates. However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:
- (iv) it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or
- (v) it is cast by the Chair as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides; or
- (vi) it is cast by a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:
- a. the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the Resolution; and
- b. the holder votes on the Resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.
7.5. Directors' Recommendation
The Directors (with Mr Joseph Constable abstaining) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
Item 8. Issue of 4,000,000 Ordinary Shares
8.1. Background
On 21 October 2020, the Company announced a partially underwritten $4.1 million capital raise, conducted via a 15% Placement of shares, in conjunction with a 1 for 4 Accelerated Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer (Capital Raise), issuing 33.1 million shares at $0.125 per share. Upon the completion of the Capital Raise, the Company announced on 20 November 2020 a further private placement to satisfy the Company's obligations under the lead manager and underwriter agreements for the Capital Raise.
On 21 October 2020, the Company announced the intention to appoint Mr Sandy Beard as a Director and that Mr Beard intended to partially underwrite the Capital Raise up to $1.5M at the issue price of $0.125 per share. Mr Sandy Beard was appointed as a Director and Chairman of the Company on 29 October 2020. Under the lead manager and underwriter agreements for the Capital Raise, it was agreed that Sandy Beard and investors introduced by Wentworth Securities Pty Ltd would be entitled to contribute a total of $2.5 million to the Capital Raise. At the conclusion of the Capital Raise, the Company announced that a further private placement to issue a further 1,675,705 ($209,463) was required to be undertaken to satisfy its obligations under the lead manager and underwriter agreements.
In addition, following the strong demand received for the Capital Raise, the board agreed to increase the size of the further private placement from 1,675,705 new shares to raise $209,463, to a total of 4,000,000 new shares to raise a total of $500,000 (ie $290,537 additional funds).
The issue of any securities under the further private placement to Mr Sandy Beard and any of his Related Parties requires that the Company obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11. As Mr Beard is a Director of the Company and therefore related party of the Company by virtue of section 228(2) of the Corporations Act.
Approval is not being sought under the related party provisions (Chapter 2E) of the Corporations Act. A "financial benefit" is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and includes the issue of securities. The giving of a financial benefit to a related party of a public company is ordinarily prohibited by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act unless an exception can be relied upon.
One relevant exception to the general prohibition is where the provision of the financial benefit is on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and the related party were dealing at arm's length (or on terms less favourable then arm's length). As Mr Beard will be issued with securities on the same terms as other participants in the Capital Raise, this requirement is satisfied.
Prior to Mr Beard joining the Board, the terms of Mr Beard's support of the Capital Raise were negotiated between Mr Beard and the Board at arm's length, and the Directors determined that the proposed issue of shares to Mr Beard was reasonable in the circumstances. In making this determination, it was taken into account the fact that the agreement between the Company and Mr Beard regarding the proposed issue of the shares was reasonable in order for the Capital Raise to be successful and was negotiated at arm's length at the time to achieve the best available commercial result for the Company.
On this basis, as the provision of such benefit is expressly permitted by the arm's length exception under the Corporations Act and the Directors do not consider that the Company is required to seek shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in order to issue shares to Mr Beard pursuant to Resolution 7.
Resolution 7 therefore seeks shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 to approve the issue of 4,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, and that these shares be issued to parties which may include Director Mr Alexander (Sandy) Beard (or his nominee) at $0.125 per Share.
If this Resolution is not passed by Shareholders, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the 4,000,000 shares and the funds raised of $500,000 will not be received by the Company.
The two largest substantial shareholder groupings have agreed to support this Resolution.
8.2. ASX Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11.1 provides that a company must not issue equity securities to a Related Party without the approval of shareholders. Mr Beard is a related party by virtue of being a Director as set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14, where approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is obtained, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 and the issue of securities will not be included in the Company's 15% limit.
8.3. Information required under ASX Listing Rule 10.13
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 the following information is provided in relation to the Resolution:
-
(g) The related party is Mr Alexander (Sandy) Beard who is a related party by virtue of being a Director;
-
(h) The maximum number of new Shares to be issued is 4,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares;
-
(i) The issue price will be $0.125 per Share;
-
(j) The new Shares will rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares on issue;
-
(k) The Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules); and
-
(l) The funds raised from the placement will be used to further strengthen the Company's balance sheet and assist further growth.
8.4. Voting Exclusion Statement
The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Item 7 by or on behalf of Mr Alexander (Sandy) Beard, or any of his Related Parties. However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:
- (vii) it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or
- (viii) it is cast by the Chair as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides; or
- (ix) it is cast by a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:
- a. the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the Resolution; and
- b. the holder votes on the Resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.
8.5. Directors' Recommendation
The Directors (with Mr Beard abstaining) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
Item 9. Issue of Options
9.1. Background
In accordance with the lead manager and underwriter agreements for the Capital Raise under which Mr Beard agreed to support the Capital Raise, the Board agreed to seek shareholder approval for the issue of 8,000,000 options, including to Mr Beard. If approved, the options will be exercisable at $0.15 each, at any time within 3 years from the date of approval by shareholders.
The issue of options to Mr Beard or his Related Parties requires that the Company obtain shareholder approval under the Listing Rules as Mr Beard is now a Director of the Company and therefore related party of the Company by virtue of section 228(2) of the Corporations Act.
Approval is not being sought under the related party provisions (Chapter 2E) of the Corporations Act. As noted in section 7.1 above, the issue of securities (including options) could be considered the giving of a financial benefit to a related party and the giving of a financial benefit to a related party of a public company is ordinarily prohibited by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act unless an exception can be relied upon.
One relevant exception to the general prohibition is where the provision of the financial benefit is on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and the related party were dealing at arm's length (or on terms less favourable than arm's length). Prior to Mr Beard joining the Board, the terms of Mr Beard's support of the Capital Raise were negotiated between Mr Beard and the Board at arm's length, and the Directors determined that the proposed issue of options to Mr Beard was reasonable in the circumstances to ensure a successful Capital Raise and to achieve the best available commercial result for the Company.
On this basis, as the provision of such benefit is expressly permitted by the arm's length exception under the Corporations Act and the Directors do not consider that the Company is required to seek shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in order to issue securities to Mr Beard pursuant to Resolution 8.
Resolution 8 therefore seeks shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 to approve the issue of 8,000,000 options, and that these options be issued to parties which may include Director Mr Alexander (Sandy) Beard (or his nominee) at $0.15 per share.
If this Resolution is not passed by Shareholders, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the 8,000,000 Options and the potential funds raised of up to $1,200,000 through the exercise of these Options will not be received by the Company.
The two largest substantial shareholder groupings have agreed to support this resolution.
9.2. ASX Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11.1 provides that a company must not issue equity securities to a Related Party without the approval of shareholders. Mr Beard is a related party by virtue of being a Director as set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14, where approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is obtained, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 and the issue of securities will not be included in the Company's 15% limit.
9.3. Information required under ASX Listing Rule 10.13
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 the following information is provided in relation to the Resolution:
- (a) The related party is Mr Alexander (Sandy) Beard who is a related party by virtue of being a Director;
- (b) The maximum number of Shares to be issued is 8,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares, if all options are exercised;
- (c) The material terms of the options are as follows:
- i) The exercise price of the options will be $0.15 per Share;
- ii) Unexercised options hold no rights in relation to dividends or voting on Resolutions. Once exercised, the Shares issued as a result of the options will rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares on issue; and
- iii) The Options may be exercised at any time within 3 years from the date of approval by shareholders.
- (d) The Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules); and
- (e) The funds raised from the exercise of the options will be used to further strengthen the Company's balance sheet and assist future growth.
9.4. Voting Exclusion Statement
The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Item 8 by or on behalf of Mr Alexander (Sandy) Beard, or any of his Related Parties. However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:
- (i) it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or
- (ii) it is cast by the Chair as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides; or
- (iii) it is cast by a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:
- a. the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the Resolution; and
- b. the holder votes on the Resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.
9.5. Directors' Recommendation
The Directors (with Mr Beard abstaining) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
Item 10. Ratification of Placement Shares
10.1. Background
The Company issued a total of 11,343,387 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.125 per share to various sophisticated investors in October 2020. Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previously issued securities made without prior Shareholder approval, provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1
10.2. General
This Resolution seeks shareholder ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares. The purpose of seeking Shareholder ratification of the Placement Shares is to reinstate the 15% limit under the Listing Rules on the number of securities that the Company may issue in any 12 month period without Shareholder approval.
10.3. Information required under ASX Listing Rule 7.5
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to Shareholders
- (f) The total number of fully paid ordinary shares issued was 11,343,387;
- (g) The issue price of each fully paid ordinary shares issued was $0.125;
- (h) The issued shares rank equally with all existing shares;
- (i) The allottees of the Placement Shares were sophisticated investors determined by the Board; and
- (j) Funds raised through the Placement Shares have been applied to strengthen the Group's balance sheet, including the repayment of debt, and will be used to assist future growth.
The Board believe that the ratification of the Placement Shares is beneficial to the Company as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue the maximum number of equity securities permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 to raise additional capital without first obtaining Shareholder approval. Shareholders should note that the Board does not currently have plans to raise additional capital beyond the Further Private Placement outlined to Shareholders under Item 7.
10.4. Voting Exclusion Statement
The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Item 9 by or on behalf of the recipients of the Placement shares, or any of their associates. However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:
- (i) it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or
- (ii) it is cast by the Chair as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides; or
- (iii) it is cast by a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:
- a. the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and
- b. the holder votes on the Resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.
10.5. Directors' recommendation
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Accordingly, this Resolution, which contemplates the appointment of UHYHN, is subject to ASIC consent being obtained.
11.2. Directors' Recommendation
