The Directors have determined pursuant to Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) that the persons eligible to vote at the Meeting are those who are registered Shareholders at 7:00pm EDST on 4 November 2015.

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by 9:00am EDST on 4 November 2015 and in accordance with the instructions set out on the Proxy Form.

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, members are advised that:

  • each member has a right to appoint a proxy;
  • the proxy need not be a member of the Company; and
  • a member who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the member appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member's votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise onehalf of the votes.

New sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

  • if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and
  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes is set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and
  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
  • if the proxy is not the chair the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and
  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and
  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and
  • either of the following applies:
    • o the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;
    • o the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

DATED: 6 OCTOBER 2015

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD

JEREMY KING, Company Secretary

E X P L A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E NT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors' report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor's report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company's annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company's annual financial report is available on its website at http://www.smartparking.com/.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

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 company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company's remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors' report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (Spill Resolution) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting (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 most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director 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.

2.3 Previous voting results

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.

2.4 Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

Proxy Directed Undirected
Key Management Personnel1 Voted Not voted3
Chair2 Voted Voted at discretion of Proxy4
Other Voted Voted at discretion of Proxy

Notes:

1 Refers to Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member.

2 Refers to the Chair (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report), or a Closely Related Party of such a member).

3 Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

4The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair's intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL OF DEFERRED EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN

3.1 Background

Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 9(b)) and for the purposes of sections 259B(2) and 260C(4) of the Corporations Act to approve the Deferred Employee Share Plan, and to issue Shares under the Deferred Employee Share Plan to employees of the Group ("Eligible Participants") as determined by the Board from time to time.

3.2 Approval of Deferred Employee Share Plan under the Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that without the approval of holders of ordinary securities, an entity must not issue or agree to issue, equity securities which amount to more than 15% of its issued share capital in any rolling 12 month period. However, ASX Listing Rule 7.2 sets out a number of exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. These exceptions include exception 9, which is an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue, the holders of ordinary securities have approved the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to this rule. The Company has been operating an employee share plan since 2011. Shareholder approval is now sought for the Deferred Employee Share Plan for a three-year period in order that an share issues made in connection with the Deferred Employee Share Plan fall within exception 9 under Listing Rule 7.1, as referred to above.

The effect of passing the Resolution will provide the company with an opportunity to incentivise its employees without affecting its capacity to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 because Shares issued under the Deferred Employee Share Plan during the three years following the date of the meeting will not be taken into account for calculations of the Company's 15% capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 9(b)), the following information is provided in relation to the Deferred Employee Share Plan:

  • A summary of the key terms of the Deferred Employee Share Plan is set out in Annexure A. In addition, a copy of the Deferred Employee Share Plan may be obtained by any Shareholder upon request from the Company Secretary.
  • This is the first time that shareholder approval has been sought for the Deferred Employee Share Plan. To date, the Company has issued 3,344,830 shares under the Deferred Employee Share Plan to the Plan Trustee.
  • A voting exclusion statement appears in the Notice of Meeting in connection with Resolution 3. The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

3.3 Purpose of the Deferred Employee Share Plan

The purpose of the Deferred Employee Share Plan is to:

  • assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
  • link the reward of Eligible Participants to performance and the creation of value for Shareholders;
  • align the interests of Eligible Participants more closely with the interests of Shareholders by providing an opportunity for Eligible Participants to receive Shares;
  • provide Eligible Participants with the opportunity to share in any future growth in value of the Company; and
  • provide greater incentives for Eligible Participants to focus on the Company's longerterm goals.

3.4 Trustee

Car Parking Technologies Share Plan Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has been appointed as the trustee of the Deferred Employee Share Plan which requires the trustee to hold Plan Shares for the benefit of the Eligible Participants and to operate the Deferred Employee Share Plan.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – ACQUISITION OF EQUITY BY MANAGING DIRECTOR UNDER DEFERRED EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN

Subject to the approval of Shareholders under Resolution 2, the Company intends to transfer 415,385 Incentive Shares to Mr Paul Gillespie under the Deferred Employee Share Plan (Gillespie Incentive Shares). The Gillespie Incentive Shares are currently held by the Company's Deferred Employee Share Plan trustee vehicle and accordingly no new additional Shares shall in fact be issued by the Company as a result of the proposed action being approved and proceeding.

Participation in the Deferred Employee Share Plan is only open to executive Directors, and Mr Gillespie is the only executive Director on the board of the Company at this time. No Director or person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 has been awarded Incentive Shares under the Deferred Employee Share Plan since the date of last approval for award to a Director of the Company.

Listing Rules -- Requirement for Shareholder Approval

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

The transfer of Incentive Shares to Mr Paul Gillespie is an acquisition of securities by a Related Party under the Company's Deferred Employee Share Plan and consequently Shareholder approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. The Gillespie Incentive Shares:

  • (a) will be transferred under the Company's Deferred Employee Share Plan at no cost to Mr Gillespie;
  • (b) will be transferred no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting; and
  • (c) will not be subject to a loan from the Company or otherwise.

Corporations Act

Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act a public company cannot give a financial benefit to a related party unless an exception applies or shareholders have in general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party.

Mr Gillespie is a related party of the Company due to the fact that he is a director of the Company. The issue of Incentive Shares constitutes a "Financial Benefit" as described in the Corporations Act. Accordingly, the proposed transfer of Incentive Shares to Mr Gillespie will constitute a financial benefit to a related party. It is the view of the non-related Directors of the Company that the exemptions under section 211 of the Corporations Act (remuneration and reimbursement) apply to the proposed Incentive Share transfer pursuant to Resolution 3 and that the Incentive Shares are an appropriate and necessary part of the incentive and remuneration package for Mr Gillespie as managing director of the Company.

Accordingly, while the Directors have not determined to seek shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act, shareholder approval must nonetheless be obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14. If approval of the issue is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Terms

The terms of the Incentive Shares are as follows:

Number of IncentiveShares Price Vesting Date DeferredEmployeeSharePlanConditions
415,385 Nil 2 years fromissue Continued employment
Good Leaver under terms ofDeferred Employee Share Plan

5. RESOLUTION 4 - APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

5.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital (10% Placement Capacity).

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve this Resolution 4, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 5.2 below).

The effect of this Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company's fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

This Resolution is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of this Resolution for it to be passed.

5.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity's 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $37,971,803.22 based on a share price of $0.13.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: SPZ).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
    • a. plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
    • b. plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
    • c. plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
    • d. less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
  • D is 10%.
  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

5.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company's activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company's main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

(10% Placement Capacity Period).

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

Variable A) Fundsraised $3,797,180 $7,594,360 $15,188,721

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

    1. There are currently 292,090,794 Shares on issue.
    1. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 30 September 2015.
    1. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
    1. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
    1. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
    1. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
    1. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
    1. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with an acquisition), continued expenditure on the Company's current assets and general working capital; or
  • (ii) as non‐cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non‐cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity

The Company's allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;
  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and
  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

7. RESOLUTION 7 – REPLACEMENT OF CONSTITUTION

7.1 General

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 7 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution (Proposed Constitution) which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by shares updated to ensure it reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.

This will incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules since the current Constitution was adopted.

The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions.

The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature including but not limited to:

updating the name of the Company

  • updating references to bodies of legislation which have been renamed (e.g. references to the Australian Settlement and Transfer Corporation Pty Ltd, ASTC Settlement Rules and ASTC Transfer); and
  • expressly providing for statutory rights by mirroring these rights in provisions of the Proposed Constitution.

The Directors believe these amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders. It is not practicable to list all of the changes to the Constitution in detail in this Explanatory Statement, however, a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below.

A copy of the Proposed Constitution will be available for review by Shareholders prior to the Meeting at the Company's website www.smartparking.com and at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (+61 8 9322 7600). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

7.2 Summary of material proposed changes

Minimum Shareholding (clause 3)

Clause 3 of the Constitution outlines how the Company can manage shareholdings which represent an "unmarketable parcel" of shares, being a shareholding that is less than $500 based on the closing price of the Company's Shares on ASX as at the relevant time.

The Proposed Constitution is in line with the requirements for dealing with "unmarketable parcels" outlined in the Corporations Act such that where the Company elects to undertake a sale of unmarketable parcels, the Company is only required to give one notice to holders of an unmarketable parcel to elect to retain their shareholding before the unmarketable parcel can be dealt with by the Company, saving time and administrative costs incurred by otherwise having to send out additional notices.

Clause 3 of the Proposed Constitution continues to outline in detail the process that the Company must follow for dealing with unmarketable parcels.

Fee for registration of off market transfers (clause 8.4(c))

On 24 January 2011, ASX amended ASX Listing Rule 8.14 with the effect that the Company may now charge a "reasonable fee" for registering paper-based transfers, sometimes referred to "off-market transfers".

Clause 8.4 of the Proposed Constitution is being made to enable the Company to charge a reasonable fee when it is required to register off-market transfers from Shareholders. The fee is intended to represent the cost incurred by the Company in upgrading its fraud detection practices specific to off-market transfers.

Before charging any fee, the Company is required to notify ASX of the fee to be charged and provide sufficient information to enable ASX to assess the reasonableness of the proposed amount.

Dividends (clause 22)

Section 254T of the Corporations Act was amended effective 28 June 2010.

There is now a three-tiered test that a company will need to satisfy before paying a dividend replacing the previous test that dividends may only be paid out of profits.

The amended requirements provide that a company must not a pay a dividend unless:

  • (i) the company's assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend;
  • (ii) the payment of the dividend is fair and reasonable to the company's shareholders as a whole; and
  • (iii) the payment of the dividend does not materially prejudice the company's ability to pay its creditors.

The existing Constitution reflects the former profits test and restricts the dividends to be paid only out of the profits of the Company. The Proposed Constitution is updated to reflect the new requirements of the Corporations Act. The Directors consider it appropriate to update the Constitution for this amendment to allow more flexibility in the payment of dividends in the future should the Company be in a position to pay dividends.

Partial (proportional) takeover provisions (new clause 36)

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder's shares.

Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, the Company has included in the Proposed Constitution a provision whereby a proportional takeover bid for Shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of Shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.

This clause of the Proposed Constitution will cease to have effect on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption of last renewal of the clause.

Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act

Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions

Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed.

Reasons for proportional takeover provisions

A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.

Knowledge of any acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company, other than as a result of the Acquisition.

Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions

The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (a) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;
  • (b) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority;
  • (c) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and
  • (d) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.

The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (a) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;
  • (b) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and
  • (c) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.
