VOTING BY POLL

The vote on each resolution set out in this Notice will be decided on a poll. In a resolution determined by poll, you (or your proxy) having one vote for each Share held. On a poll, you do not need to exercise all of your votes in the same way and you do not need to cast all your votes.

VOTING BY PROXY

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by 1:00pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, 17 November 2021 and in accordance with the instructions set out on the Proxy Form. Alternatively, you can nominate your proxy online by via http://www.investorvote.com.au.

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.

A proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate. Should you appoint a body corporate as your proxy, that body corporate will need to ensure that it appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at meetings in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act and provide satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative to the Company prior to the Meeting.

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 only vote on a poll; 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.

Authorised representative of corporate shareholders

A corporation may elect to appoint an individual to act as its representative in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act in which case the Company will require a certificate of appointment of corporate representative executed in accordance with the Corporations Act to be provided prior to the Meeting.

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

If there is a technical difficulty affecting any online participants, the chair may continue to hold the Meeting and transact business, including conducting a poll and voting in accordance with valid proxy instructions. Members are therefore encouraged to lodge a directed proxy by 1:00pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, 17 November 2021 even if they plan to join and participate in the Meeting online.

DATED: 15 OCTOBER 2021

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD

RICHARD LUDBROOK, Company Secretary

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

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 2021 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

A resolution for adoption of the Remuneration Report is required to be considered and voted on in accordance with the section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company's remuneration arrangements for the Directors and Key Management Personnel of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the directors' report contained in the annual financial report of the company for the financial year ending 30 June 2021.

Shareholders attending the Meeting will be given reasonable opportunity to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

2.2 Voting consequences

Under section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, a listed entity is required to put to a vote a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted. While the resolution must be put to a vote, the outcome of the resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company (as set out in section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act). The Board will take the outcome of the resolution into consideration when reviewing its remuneration practices and policies.

While the outcome of the resolution is advisory only, it will be considered for the purposes of the "two strike rule" under the Corporations Act. If at least 25% of the votes are cast against the resolution at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, the 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). The Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those consecutive Annual General Meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene a shareholders 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, a Spill Resolution will not be put to a vote at 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 Vote as directed Not to vote3
Chair2 Vote as directed Vote at Proxy's discretion 4
Other person Vote as directed Vote at Proxy's discretion

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 and your appointment of the Chair expressly authorises the Chair to vote undirected proxies at the Chair's discretion.

Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

3. RESOLUTIONS 2 – ALLOCATION OF EQUITY TO MANAGING DIRECTOR UNDER DEFERRED SHARE AND INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company intends to allocate Incentive Shares to Mr Paul Gillespie under the Company's Deferred Share and Incentive Plan (Plan), totalling 460,227 Shares (Gillespie Incentive Shares). The Gillespie Incentive Shares shall vest 2 years from allocation as set out further below.

Participation in the Plan is only open to executive Directors and senior management, and Mr Gillespie is the only executive Director on the Board at this time. No Director or person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 has been awarded Incentive Shares under the Plan since the date of the last approval for award to a Director of the Company. Senior management who are able to participate in the Plan include Richard Ludbrook (Group Chief Financial Officer) as well as Mr Gillespie.

Terms

The terms of the Gillespie Incentive Shares are as follows:

Number of Incentive Shares Price Vesting Date(s) Conditions
460,227 ordinary sharesissued under the DeferredShare and Incentive Plancomprising up to 15% of totalremuneration. Nil 2 years fromthe date ofallocation. ▪Continued employment

Listing Rules -- Requirement for Shareholder Approval

Listing Rule 10.14 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 allocation of Incentive Shares to Mr Paul Gillespie is an acquisition of securities by a Director under the Plan and consequently Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.14.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 10.15, the following further information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:

  • (a) approval is required by Listing Rule 10.14.1 as the Gillespie Incentive Shares will be issued to a Director;
  • (b) the Gillespie Incentive Shares will be allocated under the Plan at no cost to Mr Gillespie;
  • (c) the Gillespie Incentive Shares will be allocated no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting;
  • (d) Mr Gillespie's remuneration package comprises an annual salary including superannuation of $335,046, a short term incentive of approximately 21% of base salary for on target performance, and a long term incentive through the Plan;
  • (e) Shares previously issued at nil value to Mr Gillespie under the Deferred Share and Incentive Plan, are as set out in the table below:
Shares (vested) Shares (unvested)
3,134,327 2,263,154
  • (f) there is no loan scheme in relation to the Incentive Shares as no payment is required;
  • (g) a summary of the material terms of the Plan is contained in Schedule 1 to this Notice; and
  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 2.

Details of any Shares issued under the Plan will be published in the Company's annual report relating to the period in which they are issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of Shares under the Plan after Resolution 2 is approved and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.

If approval of the issue is given under Listing Rule 10.14, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Corporations Act

Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, cannot give a financial benefit to a related party unless an exception applies or shareholders have in a 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. The issue of the Gillespie Incentive Shares constitutes a financial benefit as described in section 229 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, the proposed allocation of Incentive Shares to Mr Gillespie will constitute a financial benefit to a related party. It is the view of the other Directors that the exemption under section 211(1) of the Corporations Act (Remuneration and reimbursement for officer or employee) apply to the proposed allocation of Incentive Shares as the Incentive Shares are part of the remuneration package for Mr Gillespie as Managing Director of the Company and the Incentive Shares are considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.

Accordingly, the Directors have determined that shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required. Shareholder approval must nonetheless be obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14.

Recommendation

The Directors (with Mr Gillespie abstaining) consider the allocation of the Gillespie Incentive Shares under the Plan to Mr Gillespie to be appropriate and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

4.1 General

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 3, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 4.2 below).

The effect of this Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company's fully paid ordinary securities on issue during the period up to 12 months after the date of this Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity available 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.

4.2 Listing Rule 7.1A

Listing Rule 7.1A 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 under Listing Rule 7.1.

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 as at 23 September 2021 has a market capitalisation of $76,987,137 based on a share price of $0.215.

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 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 Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
    • b. plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
      • i. the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
      • ii. the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
    • c. plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.3 exception 16 where:
      • i. the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the previous 12 month period; or
      • ii. the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;
    • d. plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
    • e. 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
  • f. 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 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 Listing Rule 7.4.

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

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

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price (being a cash only 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 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 10 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;
  • (ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; and
  • (iii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 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).

Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A does not lapse if the Company's market capitalisation subsequently exceeds $300 million or of it is included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index at some time during that period provided that the Company meets those criteria on the date of this Meeting.

(c) Risk of voting dilution

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

If this Resolution 3 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 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.

(100% increase inVariable A) Funds raised $7,698,714 $15,397,428 $23,096,141

*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 358,079,709 Shares on issue as at 23 September 2021.
    1. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 23 September 2021.
    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 Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
    1. No further securities are bought back and cancelled by the Company under its on-market buyback.
    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 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 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.

The cash issue price will comply with the minimum issue price noted in paragraph 4.3(a) above.

(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 without further specific shareholder approval.

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).

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

(f) Previous Approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its Annual General Meeting held on 20 November 2020 (Previous Approval).

The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

(g) Compliance with Listing Rules 7.1A.4

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will:

  • (i) state in its ASX announcement of the proposed issue under Listing Rule 3.10.3 or in its application of the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 2.7 that the Equity Securities are being issued under Listing Rule 7.1A; and
  • (ii) give to the ASX a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market) immediately after the Equity Securities are issued, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4(b).

4.4 Voting Exclusion

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has no proposal for an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on this Resolution.

Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MS FIONA PEARSE

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.4, no director of the Company may hold office (without reelection) past the longer of 3 years and the third Annual General Meeting following their appointment (other than the managing director).

Further, in accordance with clause 14.2 the Company's Constitution, at every Annual General Meeting, one third of the Directors (other than the managing director) for the time being must retire from office and are eligible for re-election. Accordingly, Ms Fiona Pearse retires by rotation and being eligible, offers herself for re-election.

Fiona Pearse: Ms Pearse has extensive commercial and financial expertise gained from a long career at global companies BHP and BlueScope Steel. She has served in a number of nonexecutive positions, including as a Non-Executive Director of City West Water, U Ethical (fund manager) and significant not-for-profits such as World Vision Australia and Scotch College. She understands disruptive technology, having served for several years as an advisory board member to a fintech based in Stone & Chalk. She has a Senior Executive MBA from the University of Melbourne, and is a Fellow of CPA Australia and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Recommendation

The Directors (with Ms Pearse abstaining) recommend the re-election of Ms Pearse as a Director of the Company and that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – AMENDMENTS TO CONSTITUTION

6.1 General

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders. A special resolution must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by shareholders who are entitled to vote on the resolution.

Resolution 5 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to amend its Constitution.

The Company's Constitution has not been amended since it was adopted on 6 November 2015. It is proposed that the provisions of the Company's Constitution be updated to reflect recent developments, to accord with market practices, requirements under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, and to address certain matters of a drafting or technical nature. The proposed amendments include:

  • amending the jurisdiction of Courts from Western Australia to Victoria following a change in the registered office;
  • amending the 'Restricted Securities' provisions to reflect amendments to the Listing Rules made by the ASX that came into effect on 1 December 2019. These amendments included changes to the escrow regime whereby a two-tier escrow regime was introduced to replace the previous requirement that all holders of restricted securities enter into the ASX prescribed restriction agreements with the Company. These changes are required to be reflected in constitutions of ASX listed entities under Listing Rule 15.12. [The Company, at present, does not have any restricted securities on issue];
  • allowing resolutions to be received from Shareholders using electronic communications;
  • allowing the Company to hold virtual Shareholder meetings;
  • specifying that resolutions are to be decided on a poll unless the chairperson considers a show of hands to be appropriate; and
  • removing the requirements to use a company seal.

The Directors believe these amendments are administrative in nature, and they will not have any significant adverse impact on Shareholders. A copy of the amended Constitution will be available for review by Shareholders at the Company's website www.smartparking.com and at the office of the company. A copy of the Amended Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary at [email protected]. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have queries or concerns.

Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
