9. Resolution 8 – Approval of Service Stream ESOP under the ASX Listing Rules

9.1 Background

The directors of the Company have determined to establish and implement an employee share ownership plan to be known as the Service Stream employee share ownership plan 2007 (“ Service Stream ESOP ”).

Subject to a number of exceptions, rule 7.1 of the ASX Listing Rules limits the number of securities that the Company can issue without shareholder approval in any 12 month period to 15% of its issued shares.

There is an exception to rule 7.1 where shareholders have approved the issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme within 3 years before the date of issue: rule 7.2 exception 9. Accordingly, shareholders are being asked to approve the issue of securities under the Service Stream ESOP as an exception to rule 7.1.

No shares, options or other securities of the Company have previously been issued under the Service Stream ESOP.

9.2 Objectives of Service Stream ESOP

The objectives of the Service Stream ESOP are:

  • (a) to motivate and retain employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries (“ Group ”);

  • (b) to attract quality employees and directors to the Group;

  • (c) to create commonality of purpose between the employees and directors and the Group; and

  • (d) to add wealth for all shareholders of the Company through the motivation of the Group’s employees and directors;

by allowing employees and directors to share the rewards of the success of the Group as holders of securities of the Company.

9.3 Summary of key terms

  • (a) Participation: Any person who is:

  • (1) an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or

  • (2) a director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who holds a salaried employment or office in the Company or a subsidiary;

(“ Eligible Person ”) will be eligible to participate in the Service Stream ESOP. Participation by an eligible director would currently require separate specific shareholder approval under rule 10.14 of the ASX Listing Rules except where the participation were by way of a purchase of securities on the stock market of ASX Limited by, or on behalf of, the eligible director. Participation is by invitation of the directors only.

  • (b) Acquisition of shares and options: The Service Stream ESOP provides for the acquisition by, or for the benefit of, Eligible Persons of ordinary shares in the Company, options over ordinary shares and/or rights or interests in such shares or options (“ Securities ”). The acquisition may be made directly by the Eligible Person (or his or her approved nominee) or the Company may arrange for a trust to be established for the benefit of Eligible Persons and for the trustee to acquire and hold the Securities on trust for the Eligible Persons.

  • (c) Acquisition price: Securities may be offered for acquisition by, or for the benefit of, an Eligible Person under the Service Stream ESOP at any price determined by the board of directors of the Company, including for nil consideration.

Payment for the acquisition of Securities may be provided by the Company through the provision of loans (see (q) and (r) below), by Eligible Persons or by a combination of both. An Eligible Person may also elect to fund the acquisition of Securities by way of salary sacrifice or sacrifice of cash bonuses and other equivalent entitlements.

  • (d) Restrictions: Under the Service Stream ESOP, the directors of the Company may make the allocation or acquisition of Securities by, or on behalf of, an Eligible Person subject to satisfaction of performance, eligibility or other vesting criteria (“ Vesting Criteria ”) where failure to satisfy any Vesting Criteria may result in the forfeiture of the Eligible Person’s entitlement, in whole or in part. The application of Vesting Criteria (if any) is at the discretion of the directors. In addition, the directors may impose restrictions on dealing in Securities which are acquired under the Service Stream ESOP, eg by prohibiting them from being sold, transferred, mortgaged, charged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered for a period of time or until the Vesting Criteria are satisfied. Such restrictions may apply regardless of whether the Securities are subject to Vesting Criteria.

  • (e) Control of Securities: Where an Eligible person participates in the Service Stream ESOP and Securities are acquired by, or for the benefit of, the Eligible Person, the terms of participation may authorise the Company to do all that is necessary or appropriate for the Company to ensure the Securities are not disposed of or encumbered prior to the satisfaction of any Vesting Criteria or the cessation of any restrictions on dealing including by applying a holding lock in respect of the Securities (if they are uncertificated) or by retaining the certificates in respect of the Securities (if they are certificated).

  • (f) Nomination: If approved by the Company, an Eligible Person may nominate an associate to take up or apply for any Securities or loan that the Eligible Person is offered, allocated or invited to apply for under the Service Stream ESOP.

Further, the Company may impose any other termination event for any options at the time of acquisition, and will also have the power to waive a termination event or vesting condition, or to postpone termination.

  • (n) Amendments to the rules of the Service Stream ESOP: The Company may amend the rules of the Service Stream ESOP, subject to any requirements of the Corporations Act and subject to obtaining any approval of shareholders required under the ASX Listing Rules.

  • (o) Suspension or termination of Service Stream ESOP: The Company may suspend the operation of the Service Stream ESOP or terminate it at any time. Suspension or termination would not prejudice the existing rights of any person who previously acquired Securities under the plan.

Notice of annual general meeting and explanatory statement

  • (p) Provision of loans: The Service Stream ESOP also allows the Company to provide loans to Eligible Persons to fund:

  • (1) the subscription for, or other acquisition of, Securities offered or allocated to, or for the benefit of, Eligible Persons; and/or

  • (2) the exercise of options or other rights issued to, or for the benefit of, Eligible Persons.

  • (q) Terms of loans: The loans that may be provided to Eligible Persons to fund the acquisition of Securities or exercise of options or other rights that are Securities are to be on such terms as are determined by the board of directors of the Company. Further, the Service Stream ESOP specifically provides that a loan provided to an Eligible Person may be:

  • (1) interest free;

  • (2) non-recourse or limited recourse;

  • (3) satisfied by payment to the Company of the proceeds of the sale of the Eligible Person’s Securities or by the transfer of those Securities to the Company or its nominee; and

  • (4) secured (including by the Company taking security over the shares in the Company acquired by the Eligible Person under the Service Stream ESOP) or unsecured.

Further, where a loan is provided to fund the acquisition of Securities, subject to the terms of the relevant loan agreement, the Securities may not, without the prior written consent of the Company, be sold, transferred, mortgaged, charged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered prior to repayment of the loan.

9.4 Inspection

A copy of the Service Stream ESOP may be inspected at the Company’s office at Level 12, 555 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000. Please contact the company secretary, Stephen Campbell, on (03) 9677 8888 if you have any questions or wish to make arrangements to inspect the plan.

9.5 Directors’ recommendation

The directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 8.

10. Resolution 9 – Approval of Service Stream ESOP for all other purposes

Subject to certain exceptions, part 2J.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 prohibits a company from taking security over shares in itself. However, a company is able to take security over shares in itself under an employee share scheme (such as the Service Stream ESOP) that has been approved by an ordinary resolution of shareholders.

Accordingly, if the Service Stream ESOP is approved by shareholders pursuant to resolution 9, the Company will be able to take security over shares in itself where those shares (or rights or interests in them) are acquired by Eligible Persons under the Service Stream ESOP.

Page 11

Notice of annual general meeting and explanatory statement

The provision of loans by the Company to persons to, or for the benefit of, Eligible Persons to enable them to acquire shares (or rights or interests in them) in the Company (including by the exercise of options over shares, the issue of new shares or the acquisition of existing shares) will be the provision of financial assistance by the Company for the acquisition of shares (or rights or interests in shares) in the Company. Under part 2J.3 of the Corporations Act, the general rule is that a company may financially assist a person to acquire shares (or rights or interests in shares) in the company only if:

  • (a) approved by a special resolution of shareholders; or

  • (b) giving the assistance does not materially prejudice the interests of the company or its shareholders or the company’s ability to pay its creditors.

However, financial assistance given under an employee share scheme (such as the Service Stream ESOP) is specifically authorised under section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act provided the scheme has been approved by an ordinary resolution of shareholders.

Accordingly, if the Service Stream ESOP is approved by shareholders pursuant to resolution 9, the Company will be able to provide financial assistance under the Service Stream ESOP for the acquisition of shares (or rights or interests in shares) in the Company (including by the exercise of options over shares in the Company) by making loans available for that purpose, in accordance with the terms of the Service Stream ESOP.

The directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 9.

11. Resolution 10 – Approval of Service Stream Exempt ESOP under the ASX Listing Rules

The directors have also determined to establish and implement an employee share ownership plan to be known as the Service Stream exempt employee share ownership plan 2007 (“ Service Stream Exempt ESOP ”), which is designed to qualify for the $1,000 tax-free threshold concession under Australian tax law.

In summary, where shares or rights to acquire shares are acquired under an employee share scheme, the relevant employee must include in their assessable income the amount of any discount in the price of the shares or rights acquired (ie, the difference between their market value and the consideration (if any) paid for them). An employee can elect to have the discount included in their assessable income in the year in which the shares or rights are acquired, or defer the inclusion of the amount of the discount in their assessable income for up to 10 years after the shares or rights are acquired.

If the employee elects to have the discount included in their assessable income in the year in which the shares or rights are acquired, the employee may claim a reduction in the total amount otherwise assessable in that year in respect of the shares or rights acquired under the employee share scheme of up to $1,000. However, this tax exempt threshold is only available if certain conditions are met (see below).

The reasons for seeking approval of the Service Stream Exempt ESOP under the exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the objectives of the Service Stream Exempt ESOP are the same as the reasons set out in the explanatory statement to resolution 8 above.

The key terms of the Service Stream Exempt ESOP are broadly the same as the Service Stream ESOP as summarised in the explanatory statement to resolution 8 above, except that

Page 12

Notice of annual general meeting and explanatory statement

the Service Stream Exempt ESOP will have the following additional terms which are necessary for employees who acquire shares or rights under the Service Stream Exempt ESOP to be eligible for the tax exempt threshold:

  • (a) There are no conditions in the Service Stream Exempt ESOP which could result in an employee forfeiting their ownership of shares or rights acquired under the plan.

  • (b) No employee will be permitted to dispose of shares or rights acquired under the Service Stream Exempt ESOP before the earlier of three years from the date of acquisition or the date that the employee ceased (or first ceased) to be employed by the Company or its subsidiaries.

  • (c) The Service Stream Exempt ESOP and any plan for the provision of financial assistance in respect of acquisitions of shares or rights under the Service Stream Exempt ESOP will be operated on a non-discriminatory basis. Generally speaking, this requires participation in the plan to be open to at least 75% of permanent employees and for offers under the plan to be on the same essential terms and conditions.

A copy of the Service Stream Exempt ESOP may be inspected at the Company’s office at Level 12, 555 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000. Please contact the company secretary, Stephen Campbell, on (03) 9677 8888 if you have any questions or wish to make arrangements to inspect the plan.

The directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 10.

12. Resolution 11 – Approval of Service Stream Exempt ESOP for all other purposes

The reasons for seeking approval of the Service Stream Exempt ESOP under the Corporations Act are the same as for the Service Stream ESOP as set out in the explanatory statement to resolution 9 above.

Accordingly, if the Service Stream Exempt ESOP is approved by shareholders pursuant to resolution 11, the Company will be able to:

  • (a) take security over shares in itself where those shares (or rights or interests in them) are acquired by Eligible Persons under the Service Stream ESOP; and

  • (b) provide financial assistance under the Service Stream ESOP for the acquisition of shares (or rights or interests in shares) in the Company (including by the exercise of options over shares in the Company) by making loans available for that purpose, in accordance with the terms of the Service Stream ESOP.

The directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 11.

13. Resolution 12 – Approval of issue of shares to John Llewellyn Davies under the ASX Listing Rules

John Llewellyn Davies has been chairman of the board of directors of the Company since completion of the Merger, and before then he was chairman of the former Service Stream Limited (now Service Stream Holdings Pty Ltd). During his time as chairman he has steered the board through the challenges of managing the Service Stream group’s solid growth and emergence as a significant player in the telecommunications services market. The last 12

Page 13

Notice of annual general meeting and explanatory statement

months, in particular, have seen Mr Davies provide an extraordinary amount of time and effort on the Merger, which has been well beyond the expectations of his fellow directors. In recognition of this, the directors believe that it is appropriate to reward Mr Davies for his invaluable guidance and extraordinary efforts by issuing to him (or an entity nominated by him that is his family trust, controlled entity or superannuation fund) 100,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company for no consideration.

Rule 10.11 of the ASX Listing Rules provides that the Company must not issue shares to a related party without the approval of the holders of its ordinary shares. As Mr Davies is a director of the Company, he and his nominated entity are related parties of the Company. Accordingly, shareholder approval under rule 10.11 is required in order for him (or his nominee) to be able to be issued those shares.

The shares are to be issued to Mr Davies or an entity he nominates that is the trustee of his family trust, an entity he controls or the trustee of his superannuation fund.

No more than 100,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company will be issued under this approval. The shares will be issued as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of the meeting at which shareholders approve the issue, and in any event, within 1 month after the date of the meeting.

The shares are to be issued for no consideration, and on issue will rank equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares in the Company then on issue.

The directors (except Mr Davies) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 12.

14. Resolution 13 – Approval of issue of shares to Patrick Flannigan under the ASX Listing Rules

Rule 10.14 of the ASX Listing Rules provides that the Company must not permit a director to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of holders of ordinary shares of the acquisition. Mr Patrick Joseph Flannigan is a director of the Company.

At the 2006 annual general meeting of the former Service Stream Limited (now Service Stream Holdings Pty Ltd), the shareholders of that company approved the issue of securities by Service Stream Holdings Pty Ltd to Mr Flannigan under the terms of his employment agreement with that company.

Details of Mr Flannigan’s employment agreement were provided to the shareholders of Total Communications Infrastructure Limited (now the Company) prior to those shareholders approving the Merger.

Following the Merger, the employment agreement has been amended so that shares issued under the terms of Mr Flannigan’s employment agreement will be issued by the Company, not Service Stream Holdings Pty Ltd. The reason for this amendment is to ensure that Service Stream Holdings Pty Ltd remains a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and to discharge Service Stream Holding Pty Ltd’s obligations to Mr Flannigan.

Accordingly, shareholder approval is required in order for him to be able to be issued those shares in the Company. Rule 10.14 also provides that the notice of meeting to obtain approval must comply with either rule 10.15 or 10.15A of the ASX Listing Rules. The Company has elected to prepare this notice of meeting so that it complies with rule 10.15A, and provides information below for that purpose.

Page 14

Notice of annual general meeting and explanatory statement

Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr Flannigan is entitled to milestone incentives in the form of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company for no consideration.

The following is the information required by rule 10.15A of the ASX Listing Rules and some of the terms of Mr Flannigan’s employment agreement:

  • (a) The board of directors of the Company may determine:

  • (1) that a particular acquisition, development or project to be undertaken by or otherwise involving the Company will constitute a milestone project (“ Milestone Project ”);

  • (2) the capital value of the Milestone Project (“ Milestone Value ”); and

  • (3) certain criteria, the achievement of which will mean that the Milestone Project has been successfully completed.

  • (b) Where a Milestone Project is successfully completed, Mr Flannigan will become entitled to the number of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (to be issued to him for no consideration) set opposite the Milestone Value of the Milestone Project set out below:

Milestone Value of Milestone
Project
Shares for completion of Milestone
Project
$5 million to $10 million 40,000
$11 million to $50 million 100,000
$51 million to $100 million 200,000
$101 million to $200 million 400,000
$201 million and above 800,000
  • (c) Half the shares are to be issued at the time of completion of the Milestone Project and the other half 6 months later (or if his employment is terminated in certain circumstances before then, at the time of termination of his employment).

  • (d) The maximum number of shares that may be acquired by Mr Flannigan each year under clause 7.3 of his employment agreement is 800,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. Previously, Mr Flannigan was entitled to an aggregate maximum of 2 million ordinary shares under his employment agreement, or such higher number approved by the shareholders of Service Stream Holdings Pty Ltd (ie, not an annual limit).

  • (e) No shares may be issued to Mr Flannigan under clause 7.3 of his employment agreement after 3 years from the date of the Company’s 2007 annual general meeting at which the issue of shares to Mr Flannigan under that clause is approved by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with rules 10.14 and 10.15A of the ASX Listing Rules. Previously, Mr Flannigan could be issued shares within three years of the date of Service Stream Holdings Pty Ltd’s 2006 annual general meeting.

Page 15

Notice of annual general meeting and explanatory statement

  • (f) Mr Flannigan is the only person entitled to receive securities under his employment agreement and at this stage he has not received any securities under the agreement.

  • (g) Details of any securities issued under Mr Flannigan’s employment agreement will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to a period in which securities have been issued, and that approval for the issue of securities was obtained under rule 10.14 of the ASX Listing Rules.

  • (h) No other person will be entitled to securities under Mr Flannigan’s employment agreement until approval of the issue of securities to that person is obtained under rule 10.14 of the ASX Listing Rules.

  • (i) The directors (except Mr Flannigan) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 13.

15. Resolution 14 – Approval of issue of shares to Michael Doery under the ASX Listing Rules

Rule 10.14 of the ASX Listing Rules provides that the Company must not permit a director to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of holders of ordinary shares of the acquisition. Mr Michael Edward Doery is a director of the Company.

At the 2006 annual general meeting of the former Service Stream Limited (now Service Stream Holdings Pty Ltd), the shareholders of that company approved the issue of securities by Service Stream Holdings Pty Ltd to Mr Doery under the terms of his employment agreement with that company.

Details of Mr Doery’s employment agreement were provided to the shareholders of Total Communications Infrastructure Limited (now the Company) prior to those shareholders approving the Merger.

Following the Merger, the employment agreement has been amended so that shares issued under the terms of Mr Doery’s employment agreement will be issued by the Company, not Service Stream Holdings Pty Ltd. The reason for this amendment is to ensure that Service Stream Holdings Pty Ltd remains a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and to discharge Service Stream Holding Pty Ltd’s obligations to Mr Doery.

Accordingly, shareholder approval is required in order for him to be able to be issued those shares in the Company. Rule 10.14 also provides that the notice of meeting to obtain approval must comply with either rule 10.15 or 10.15A of the ASX Listing Rules. The Company has elected to prepare this notice of meeting so that it complies with rule 10.15A, and provides information below for that purpose.

Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr Doery is entitled to milestone incentives in the form of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company for no consideration.

The following is the information required by rule 10.15A of the ASX Listing Rules and some of the terms of Mr Doery’s employment agreement:

  • (a) The board of directors of the Company may determine:

  • (1) that a particular acquisition, development or project to be undertaken by or otherwise involving the Company will constitute a milestone project (“ Milestone Project ”);

Page 16

Notice of annual general meeting and explanatory statement

  • (2) the capital value of the Milestone Project (“ Milestone Value ”); and

  • (3) certain criteria, the achievement of which will mean that the Milestone Project has been successfully completed.

  • (b) Where a Milestone Project is successfully completed, Mr Doery will become entitled to the number of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (to be issued to him for no consideration) set opposite the Milestone Value of the Milestone Project set out below:

Milestone Value of Milestone
Project
Shares for completion of Milestone
Project
$5 million to $10 million 40,000
$11 million to $50 million 100,000
$51 million to $100 million 200,000
$101 million to $200 million 400,000
$201 million and above 800,000
  • (c) Half the shares are to be issued at the time of completion of the Milestone Project and the other half 6 months later (or if his employment is terminated in certain circumstances before then, at the time of termination of his employment).

  • (d) The maximum number of shares that may be acquired by Mr Doery each year under clause 7.3 of his employment agreement is 800,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. Previously, Mr Doery was entitled to an aggregate maximum of 2 million ordinary shares under his employment agreement, or such higher number approved by the shareholders of Service Stream Holdings Pty Ltd (ie, not an annual limit).

  • (e) No shares may be issued to Mr Doery under clause 7.3 of his employment agreement after 3 years from the date of the Company’s 2007 annual general meeting at which the issue of shares to Mr Doery under that clause is approved by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with rules 10.14 and 10.15A of the ASX Listing Rules. Previously, Mr Doery could be issued shares within three years of the date of Service Stream Holdings Pty Ltd’s 2006 annual general meeting.

  • (f) Mr Doery is the only person entitled to receive securities under his employment agreement and at this stage he has not received any securities under the agreement.

  • (g) Details of any securities issued under Mr Doery’s employment agreement will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to a period in which securities have been issued, and that approval for the issue of securities was obtained under rule 10.14 of the ASX Listing Rules.

  • (h) No other person will be entitled to securities under Mr Doery’s employment agreement until approval of the issue of securities to that person is obtained under rule 10.14 of the ASX Listing Rules.

  • (i) The directors (except Mr Doery) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 14.

Page 17

Notice of annual general meeting and explanatory statement

16. Resolution 15 – Increase in maximum remuneration payable to directors

Under rule 7.3(b) of the Company’s constitution, the maximum amount that the non-executive directors may be paid by way of remuneration for their services as directors of the Company in total in any year must not exceed $500,000 or such other sum fixed by the shareholders in general meeting for that purpose.

The annual maximum is currently fixed at $500,000, and the directors believe that it is appropriate for there to be an increase in the maximum to give the directors flexibility to increase directors’ remuneration and/or appoint additional directors, with a view to having high calibre people fulfil the role of director of the Company. The directors also note that, following the Merger, the total number of directors on the board has increased by one.

Accordingly, the Company seeks to increase the maximum aggregate remuneration that may be paid to non-executive directors of the Company for their overall board responsibilities from $500,000 each year to $750,000 each year.

Rule 10.17 of the ASX Listing Rules requires any increase in the total amount of directors’ fees payable by the Company to be approved by shareholders.

In the circumstances, the purpose of resolution 15 is to increase the maximum annual remuneration that may be payable to the non-executive directors under rule 7.3(b) of the Company’s constitution and to obtain shareholder approval of the increase under rule 10.17 of the ASX Listing Rules.

The directors (except the non-executive directors) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 15.
