The Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

FINANCIAL REPORTS

The Corporations Act requires the Company to lay before the Annual General Meeting the Financial report, the Directors’ report (including the remuneration report) and the Auditor’s report for the last financial year that ended before the Annual General Meeting.

No resolution is required for this item, but Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions or make comments in relation to these reports. The Company’s auditor will also be present at the meeting and Shareholders will be given the opportunity to ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the auditor’s report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the auditor.

RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

A resolution for adoption of the Remuneration Report is required to be considered and voted on in accordance with the Corporations Act. The Remuneration Report details the Company’s policy on the remuneration of nonexecutive Directors, the Managing Director and senior executives and is set out in the Company’s Annual Report. The vote on the adoption of the Remuneration Report resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.

Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions and make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

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

Professor Derek Parkin was appointed to the Board on 31 March 2011 and re-elected to the Board on 26 May 2011. Rule 5.1 of the Company’s Constitution requires that at each annual general meeting one third of the Directors must retire from office. Rule 5.2 requires that the Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been in office the longest since their election. Accordingly, Professor Parkin is required to resign and being eligible, has offered himself for re-election as a Director of the Company.

Professor Parkin is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia (ICAA) and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. He is currently Professor of Accounting at the University of Notre Dame, Australia, having previously been an assurance partner with Arthur Andersen and Ernst & Young.

Professor Parkin is a past national Board member of the ICAA and has served on a number of the ICAA’s national and state advisory committees. In 2011, he was a recipient of the ICAA’s prestigious Meritorious Service Award.

Professor Parkin is the Chairman of the Company’s Audit and Risk Management Committee. Professor Parkin’s non-executive directorships to date have been in the non-listed sphere, principally in the oil & gas and manufacturing sectors. He has also chaired a number of advisory committees in both the government and not-for-profit sectors.

The Directors (other than Professor Parkin) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

NOTICE OF AGM 2013

RESOLUTION 3: ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO THE MANAGING DIRECTOR FOR THE 2013/2014 FINANCIAL YEAR

Background

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the grant of Performance Rights to Mr Simon High, the Managing Director of the Company, under the Company’s Senior Management Long Term Incentive Plan (the Plan). The Plan was approved by Shareholders at the 2011 Annual General Meeting.

Under his employment agreement Mr High is currently entitled to receive a base salary, inclusive of superannuation of $825,185. In addition, Mr High is also entitled to a variable Short Term Incentive cash bonus of up to 50% of his base salary (depending on the achievement of certain short term objectives) and a Long Term Incentive in the form of Performance Rights in relation to the Company’s performance over the periods from 30 June 2011 to 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2012 to 30 June 2015 respectively. Subject to the passing of Resolution 3, Mr High will also be entitled to Performance Rights in relation to the Company’s performance over the period from 30 June 2013 to 30 June 2016. The Company’s executive remuneration structure is set out in more detail in the Remuneration Report in the 2013 Annual Report.

Based on the Plan (and as set out below), Shareholder approval is being sought to issue to Mr High 487,769 Performance Rights with respect to the 2013/14 financial year. These Performance Rights are subject to specific performance conditions (as set out below) and will not vest into Shares until such time as the performance conditions are met.

The Non-Executive Directors believe that it is appropriate to provide Mr High with a long term incentive element in his remuneration package. The Non-Executive Directors also believe that Performance Rights, rather than share options, are a better alternative to remunerate executives who are tasked with achieving certain specific strategic outcomes. The grant of Performance Rights is intended to align Mr High’s performance with successful Company outcomes for the benefit of Shareholders and also to provide him with an incentive to remain in the Company.

The Non-Executive Directors believe that the remuneration for Mr High, including the proposed grant of Performance Rights, is reasonable having regard to the circumstances of the Company, the duties and responsibilities of the Managing Director and market levels of remuneration for managing directors of similar companies.

The Plan

The Plan was approved by Shareholders at the 2011 Annual General Meeting. The main features of the Plan that are particular to the issue of Performance Rights are summarised as follows:

  1. Consideration Payable: It is intended that Performance Rights will be granted for no consideration, even though the Plan allows the Board to impose consideration on the grant of Performance Rights. A “Performance Right Invitation” issued by the Board will set out the amount of consideration payable, if any.

  2. Vesting: Subject to the satisfaction of the performance conditions set out in the Performance Right Invitation, within 10 Business Days of the exercise of the Performance Rights, the Company shall allot and issue Shares to the eligible participant (or, if applicable, their nominee) without further action being required on the part of the eligible participant.

  3. Retirement, Permanent Disablement, Redundancy or Death: Under the Plan, within 30 days of the eligible participant ceasing to be a senior manager by reason of retirement, permanent disablement, redundancy or death, the eligible participant (or their nominee or legal representative as applicable) may exercise the Performance Rights. To the extent that the conditions set out in the Performance Right Invitation have been satisfied, the Performance Rights will vest. All remaining Performance Rights will lapse.

Notwithstanding the above, in the event that a Participant ceases to be a Senior Manager as a result of retirement, permanent disablement or death then the Board may determine, in its absolute discretion, in relation to all or some of the Performance Rights, to:

  • (a) waive the Exercise and Vesting Conditions, in which case the participant (or their nominee or legal personal representative as applicable) may within 30 days of the participant ceasing to be a senior manager, exercise those Performance Rights; or

  • (b) allow the Performance Rights to continue to be exercisable until the expiry date, upon the satisfaction of the applicable exercise and vesting conditions.

  • Restriction on dealing with Shares: All Shares issued to a participant under the Plan will be subject to the Company’s Share Trading Policy. In addition, the Board has the discretion to impose further restrictions on Shares issued to a participant under the Plan in the Performance Right Invitation.

  • Takeover Bid or Change of Control: In the event of:

NOTICE OF AGM 2013

  • (a) a Change of Control of the Company; or

(b) approval by the court of a merger of the Company by way of scheme of arrangement, an eligible participant may exercise all Performance Rights which have not been exercised or lapsed and will vest notwithstanding the conditions set out in the Performance Right Invitation.

Performance Conditions

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Performance Rights to be issued will not vest (and the underlying Shares will not be issued) unless certain performance conditions have been satisfied. The grant of Performance Rights is designed to reward long term sustainable business performance which is aligned to the long term strategic objectives of the Company.

It is proposed that 50% of Mr High’s performance conditions for the 2013/2014 Financial Year will be performance tested against TSR performance, and the other 50% be tested against EPS performance over a 3 year period from a Start Date of 30 June 2013 to a Test Date of 30 June 2016.

Absolute TSR

TSR measures the return received by shareholders from holding shares in a company over a particular period. TSR is calculated by taking into account the growth in a company’s share price over the period as well as the dividends received during that period. The formula for calculating TSR is:

(Share Price at Test Date – Share Price at Start Date) + ($ Dividends Reinvested) Share Price at Start Date

A volume weighted average share price (VWAP) will be used to determine Share Price at the initial Test Date and Share Price at Start Date. The VWAP for the Share Price at Start Date will be based on the VWAP over the one week period prior to the start of the relevant performance period and the VWAP for the Share Price at the Test Date will be based on the VWAP over the one week period for the end of the relevant performance period. Mr High’s TSR performance conditions will include:

  • a threshold target of 12% per annum (compounded over the period from the Start Date to the Test Date); and

  • a stretch performance of 15% per annum (compounded over from the Start Date to the Test Date).

The percentage of Mr High’s Performance Rights that are tested against TSR which vest will be determined as follows:

==> picture [448 x 109] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

TSR performance over relevant Performance vesting outcomes (applied to 50% of the total
Performance Period Performance Rights granted)
Less than 12% per annum compounded 0% vesting
12% per annum compounded 50% vesting
Between 12% and 15% per annum Pro-rata vesting between 50% and 100%.
compounded
At or above 15% per annum compounded 100% vesting
----- End of picture text -----

Absolute EPS

The Company’s EPS performance will be measured over the relevant period from the Start Date to the Test Date. Absolute EPS measures the portion of a company’s profit allocated to each outstanding ordinary share and serves as an indicator of a company’s profitability. It is prescribed by the accounting standards and set out in the Company’s Financial Reports.

A threshold target and a stretch target will also be used for Mr High’s EPS targets. Mr High will only receive Performance Rights that are tested against EPS if he achieves at least the threshold target. The Performance Rights that are tested against EPS will vest as set out in the following table.

At or above 22 cents per Share 100% vesting
