OTHER BUSINESS

Important Information Concerning Proxy Votes on Resolution 1

The Corporations Act 2001 places certain restrictions on the ability of Key Management Personnel and their closely-related parties to vote on resolutions connected either directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel. Their closely-related parties are defined in the Corporations Act 2001, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control. For these reasons, shareholders who intend to vote by proxy should carefully consider the identity of their proxy and consider appointing someone other than one of the Key Management Personnel; as such persons may not be able to vote undirected proxies in respect of Resolution 1. Shareholders are also encouraged to direct their proxy as to how to vote on all Resolutions. If you do not do so, you risk your vote not being cast.

Undirected proxies held by either relevant Key Management Personnel or their closely-related parties will not be voted on Resolution 1 with the exception that the Chairman of the Meeting is expressly authorised to vote undirected proxies on Resolution 1 as he/she sees fit.

Eligibility to Vote

For the purposes of Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Act 2001, the Directors have set 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 25 November 2015 as the time and date to determine holders of the Company's shares for the purposes of the Meeting. Share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.

On a show of hands every shareholder has one vote, and on a poll, every shareholder has one vote for each share held.

Voting Intentions of the Chairman of the Meeting

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

Proxies

Information regarding the appointment of proxies is contained on the Proxy Form attached with this Notice of Meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement sets out information in connection with the business to be considered at the 2015 Annual General Meeting (Meeting) of Intec Ltd (Intec or the Company).

ORDINARY BUSINESS

The following items of ordinary business will be considered at the Meeting:

FINANCIAL REPORT

The first item of the Meeting deals with the presentation of the consolidated Financial Report of the Company and its controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2015, including the Directors' Declaration and Directors' Report in relation to that financial year, and the Auditors Report on the financial statements (Financial Report).

Shareholders are asked to consider the Financial Report and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered. Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Financial Report. No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.

Resolution 1 Adoption of the Remuneration Report

The Corporations Act 2001 requires that a resolution be put to shareholders to receive, approve and adopt the Remuneration Report, as disclosed in the Directors' Report. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and non-binding. The resolution gives the shareholders the opportunity to ask questions or make comments concerning the Remuneration Report during the Meeting. Under the Corporations Act 2001, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those meetings on a resolution (a spill resolution) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's Directors (other than the Managing Director) must stand for re-election. Any undirected proxies held by Directors, with the exception of the Chairman of the Meeting, or other Key Management Personnel, or any of their closely-related parties, will not be voted on Resolution 1. Their closely-related parties are defined in the Corporations Act 2001, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control. The Chairman of the Meeting has received express authority to vote undirected proxies on Resolution 1 as he/she sees fit.

If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.
