If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as its proxy and the body corporate wishes to appoint an individual as its representative, the body corporate should provide that person with a certi fi cate or letter executed in accordance with the Corporations Act authorising him or her to act as that body corporate representative. The authority may be sent to the Company or its share registry in advance of the Meeting or handed in at the Meeting when registering as a corporate representative.

Members of the Key Management Personnel (which includes each of the Directors) and their Closely Related Parties will not be able to vote as proxy on Resolutions 1, 4 or 5 unless the appointing Shareholder tells them how to vote, or in the case of the Chairman of the Meeting, unless the Shareholder expressly authorises him to do so.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement is prepared to provide Shareholders with material information known to the Company to enable them to make an informed decision on how to vote on the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of GCS.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in respect to the Resolutions.

Certain terms and abbreviations used in this Explanatory Statement have de fi ned meanings which are explained in the glossary at the end of this Explanatory Statement.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

The fi rst item of the Notice of Annual General Meeting deals with the consolidated Annual Financial Report of the Company for the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2016 together with the Directors’ Declaration and Report in relation to that fi nancial year and the Auditor’s Report on the Financial Statements. Shareholders should consider these documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered.

No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.

Shareholders will be provided a reasonable opportunity to ask questions or make comments in relation to these reports and on the business and management of the Company.

The Chairman will also provide Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor questions in respect of:

  • The conduct of the audit;

  • The preparation and content of the independent Audit Report;

  • The accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of accounts; and

  • The independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

RESOLUTION 1 : NON-BINDING RESOLUTION TO ADOPT REMUNERATION REPORT

The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2016 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the policies, remuneration details and service agreements for the remuneration of Directors and Executives of the Company. In accordance with Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, a resolution for adoption of the remuneration report is required to be considered and voted on by Shareholders.

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report which is also available on the Company’s website (www.gcs-group.com.au).

Mr Chiari has held no other public directorships in the last three years

The Board of Directors unanimously, other than Mr Chiari because of his interest in Resolution 2, recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

RESOLUTION 3: APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible entities to seek shareholder approval by special resolution at an annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities equivalent to an additional 10% of the number of ordinary shares on issue by way of placements over the 12-month period following the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). This 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the 15% placement capacity permitted by Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • a. has a market capitalisation of A$300 million or less; and

  • b. is not included in the S&P/ASX300 Index.

As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Company satisfies both the above criteria. The Company anticipates that it will satisfy both these criteria at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders by special resolution of the 10% Placement Facility on the terms set out in this Explanatory Statement. As a special resolution, Resolution 3 requires approval by 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting (in person or by proxy or attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by corporate representative).

The Board of Directors believes that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders, and unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

As noted above, the 10% Placement Facility permitted under Listing Rule 7.1A (subject to approval by special resolution of Shareholders) is in addition to the 15% placement capacity permitted by Listing Rule 7.1.

As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Company has 200,284,332 Shares on issue and has capacity to issue:

30,042,649 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 3 at the Annual General Meeting, 20,028,433 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A (see further below).

Number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility

The exact number of Equity Securities which may be issued, or the Company may agree to issue, under the 10% Placement Facility will be calculated in accordance with the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, being:

(A X D) – E

Where:

A = The number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue 12 months before the issue date or date of agreement to issue:

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4; and

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

D = 10%

E = The number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the issue date or date of agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Company has only one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue – its ordinary shares.

Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in respect of the 10% Placement Facility:

  • a. Minimum price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued will be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of the Equity Securities calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading dates of the date in the bullet point above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(CONTINUED)

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

b. Risk of economic and voting dilution

If Resolution 3 is passed by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders face the risk of economic and voting dilution as a result of the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, including the following:

  • the market price for the Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date on which this approval is sought; and

  • the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

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 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table 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 Facility. Specifically, the table shows two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%.The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval. The table also shows two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Funds raised $8,812,510 $18,025,589 $36,051,179

The table above has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 13 October 2016.

  • The current issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 13 October 2016.

  • The table shows only the effect of the issue of Equity Securities under Listing rule 7.1A, not under the 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • In the 12 months prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company has not issued any Shares that were not either under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The calculations above do not show the dilution to which any one particular Shareholder will be subject. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  • All numbers shown have been rounded down to the nearest whole number.

c. Date of issue

Equity Securities may only be issued under the 10% Placement Facility during the period commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting, if the facility is approved by Shareholders, and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • 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),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX.

d. Purpose of issue under 10% Placement Facility

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for cash consideration for the purpose of funds for working capital for the Company or for non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new businesses or assets (in which case the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3).

6

  • e. Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Facility

The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility have not yet been determined. However, the allottees may include current Shareholders or new investors (or both), who are not related parties or associated of related parties of the Company.

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

  • the purpose of the issue;

  • 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;

  • the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • prevailing market conditions; and

  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

Also, if the Company uses the 10% Placement Facility in the acquisition of new businesses or assets, then it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of the businesses or assets.

  • f. Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A on 24 November 2015 ( Previous Approval ).

In the period following the Previous Approval, the Company has not issued and equity securities pursuant to this Previous Approval.

  • g. Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement in relation to Resolution 3 is included in the Notice of Meeting. As at the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any existing Shareholder or security holder, or any identifiable class of existing security holders, to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 3.

RESOLUTION 4: GRANT OF RIGHTS TO THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires Shareholder approval in order for a Director to be issued equity securities in the Company under an employee incentive scheme.

The Company has agreed, subject to receiving Shareholder approval, to grant performance rights ( Rights ) to the Managing Director, Mr Enzo Gullotti, under the Performance Rights Plan ( Plan ) on the terms and conditions outlined below. Mr Gullotti will be granted 2,000,000 Rights under the Plan.

As Rights will form part of Mr Gullotti’s remuneration, they will be granted at no cost and there will be no amount payable on vesting. Each Right entitles Mr Gullotti to one ordinary share in the Company on vesting. Prior to vesting, the Rights do not entitle Mr Gullotti to any dividends or voting rights.

The Plan was approved by Shareholders at the Company’s 2014 Annual General Meeting. The Plan is an incentive plan designed to increase the motivation of staff and create a stronger link between increasing shareholder value and employee reward. More detailed information on the Plan is set out in the Company’s 2014 Notice of Annual General Meeting which is available on the Company’s website.

Shareholders are therefore being asked to approve the grant of 2,000,000 Rights to Mr Enzo Gullotti under the Plan, on the terms and conditions set out below.

Approval of this resolution will also result in the Rights granted to Mr Enzo Gullotti being an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Further details of Mr Gullotti’s total remuneration package can be found on page 36 of the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2016.

Key terms of the grant to Mr Enzo Gullotti

A brief overview of the key terms of the proposed Rights grant to Mr Enzo Gullotti is set out below.

Vesting Conditions The Company has been actively exploring and assessing east coast expansion and consolidation
opportunities, as previously disclosed to ASX, and also continues to assess expansion and
consolidation opportunities in Western Australia (Expansion Strategy). The Board is looking to
undertake transactions that will deliver value to shareholders by expanding its presence on the east
coast and in its local market.
Of the 2,000,000 Rights proposed to be granted to Mr Gullotti, the Rights will vest in tranches of
500,000 each in connection with transactions undertaken by the Company in pursuit of its Expansion
Strategy as set out below. That is, if the Company undertakes a transaction between 1 July 2016
and 30 June 2019 (theVesting Period), then up to 500,000 of Mr Gullotti’s Rights may vest in
connection with that transaction.
The total number of 2,000,000 Rights provides for up to four transactions to be undertaken by the
Company during the Vesting Period.

(CONTINUED)

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Vesting Condition – execution of formal agreements for a Transaction
If the Company acquires another company or a business, merges with another company or
otherwise acquires a strategic interest in another company or business (aTransaction) during the
Vesting Period, and:

the Transaction is expected to materially increase the Company’s earnings (having regard to
the concept of materiality under the accounting standards applicable to the Company); and

the Transaction forms part of the Company’s Expansion Strategy,
then 250,000 Rights will vest on the execution and delivery of the formal agreements to implement
the Transaction (theExecution Condition).
Vesting Condition – effect of the Transaction on the Company’s earnings
To allow the Board to assess the success of the Transaction, if, 12 months after the signing of the
formal agreements for the Transaction, the effect of the Transaction on the Company’s earnings has
been materially in line with the expected effects at the time of signing (having regard to the
accounting standards regarding materiality), then the remaining 250,000 Rights associated with that
Transaction will vest (theEarnings Condition).
Testing of the Vesting Conditions
The determination of whether the vesting conditions in respect of a Transaction have been satisfied
will be made by the Board in its absolute discretion.
As previously announced, the Company completed the acquisition of a 51% stake in Podium Glazing
Australia on 10 October 2016 (Podium Glazing Transaction) as part of its Expansion Strategy. If
Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders, the Board intends to convene a meeting to determine
whether the Podium Glazing Transaction satisfies the Execution Condition.
If the Board (in its absolute discretion) resolves that the Podium Glazing Transaction satisfies the
Execution Condition, then 250,000 of Mr Gullotti’s Rights will immediately vest. The Board will then
test (in October 2017) whether the Earnings Condition has been satisfied with respect to the Podium
Glazing Transaction, and if this condition is satisfied, a further 250,000 Rights will vest.
As at the date of this Explanatory Statement no decision has been made as to whether the Board will
exercise its discretion to determine whether 250,000 of the Rights granted to Mr Gullotti will vest in
relation to the Podium Glazing Transaction (ie whether the Execution Condition has been satisfied).
The Rights will lapse to the extent Transactions have not been entered into by 30 June 2019.
Other key terms of the Rights
Cessation of employment
The Plan contains provisions concerning the treatment of vested and unvested Rights in the event
that a participant ceases employment. Unless the Board determines otherwise, if Mr Gullotti ceases
employment by reason of resignation, termination for poor performance or termination for cause, all
Rights held by the Mr Gullotti will lapse.
Unless the Board determines otherwise, if Mr Gullotti ceases employment for any other reason,
including by reason of death, total and permanent disablement, redundancy or retirement, all Rights
will continue to be held by Mr Gullotti subject to the rules of the Plan and the vesting conditions.
Change of control
The Board has the discretion under the Plan to accelerate the vesting of Rights in the event of a
change of control, having regard to all relevant circumstances (including the extent to which any
applicable vesting conditions have been met). Any other unvested Rights will lapse or be forfeited
(as applicable) unless the Board determines otherwise.
Clawback
The Board has broad “clawback” powers under the Plan to determine that the Rights lapse, any
shares allocated on vesting are forfeited, or that amounts are to be repaid in certain circumstances
(for example, in the case of serious misconduct).
Restrictions on dealing
All dealings in respect of Rights issued under the Plan are prohibited unless the Board determines
otherwise or the dealing is required by law and Mr Gullotti has provided satisfactory evidence to the
Company. Mr Gullotti will be free to deal with the shares allocated on vesting of the Rights, subject to
the requirements of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy.
Allocation of shares upon vesting and exercise
Shares allocated to Mr Gullotti on vesting of the Rights may be issued by the Company, procured by
transferring Shares to Mr Gullotti or procured by setting aside Shares for Mr Gullotti.

Shareholders should note that the Chairman intends to vote all undirected and available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

Information provided under ASX Listing Rule 10.15

The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule ASX 10.15:

  • The maximum number of Rights (and so ordinary shares) that Mr Gullotti will acquire if Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders is 2,000,000.

  • No consideration is payable by Mr Gullotti on the grant of the Rights or on the allocation of ordinary shares on vesting of the Rights.

  • No person has received securities under the Plan since the last approval.

  • No Director of the Company, other than the Managing Director, is eligible to participate in the grant of rights the subject of Resolution 4.

  • No loans will be made by the Company in connection with the acquisition of the Rights or the ordinary shares the vesting of Rights by Mr Gullotti.

  • If Shareholder approval is obtained, the Rights will be granted to Mr Gullotti as soon as practicable after the AGM, but in any event, within 12 months of the AGM.

RESOLUTION 5: APPROVAL OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION POOL INCREASE

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.17 and article 6.5 of the Company’s Constitution, Resolution 5 seeks shareholder approval to increase the maximum aggregate sum per annum available to be paid to Directors (other than executive Directors) ( Non-Executive Directors ) by $150,000 from $300,000 to $450,000. The current cap of $300,000 was set by the Company in a general meeting held prior to the listing of the Company on the ASX in August 2007. The cap does not apply to the salaries of executive Directors but includes superannuation contributions for the benefit of Non-Executive Directors.

The total remuneration paid to the Company’s Non-Executive Directors in the 2015 and 2016 financial years (including superannuation contributions) was $144,483 per annum. Further detail is contained on page 36 of the Company’s 2016 Annual Report.

The Directors believe that the proposed increase in the maximum aggregate amount per annum available to be paid to Non-Executive Directors is in line with corporate remuneration of similar companies and will allow the Company to accommodate potential increases in the number of Non-Executive Directors on the Board.

Shareholders should note that the Directors do not intend to distribute all of the $450,000 (if approved) in the current year. Rather, it will assist in providing flexibility to allow the payment of an appropriate level of fees to attract suitably qualified Non-Executive Directors and accommodating any further increase in the number of Directors over time (including in connection with the Expansion Strategy).

Shareholders should note that the proposed increase in the amount available for Non-Executive Directors remuneration does not relate to salaries paid to executive Directors in their capacity as executives of the Company. Executive Directors do not receive remuneration in the form of the Directors’ fees in addition to their salaries.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.17, the Company advises that it has not issued any securities to Non-Executive Directors over the past 3 years under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 as part of their remuneration.

Shareholders should note that the Chairman intends to vote all undirected and available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.
