EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

PURPOSE OF INFORMATION

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement (which is included in and forms part of the Notice of Meeting dated 29 July 2016) is to provide members with an explanation of the business of the meeting and of the Resolutions to be proposed and considered at the Meeting to be held on Tuesday, 6 September 2016 commencing at 10.00am (Melbourne time) at Baker & McKenzie, Level 19, 181 William Street, Melbourne and to assist members to determine how they wish to vote on each Resolution.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement before making any decisions in relation to the Resolutions. If you are in doubt as to what you should do, you should consult your legal, investment or other professional adviser.

Resolution 1: Ratification of prior issue of shares

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of 19,047,620 fully paid ordinary shares to professional and sophisticated investors on 13 May 2016, as part of the Company's capital raising announced on 9 May 2016.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that a company may reinstate its capacity to issue up to 15% of the ordinary securities on issue in a 12 month period if shareholders ratify the previous issue of securities and the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:

  • (a) the total number of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company that were issued is 19,047,620;
  • (b) the Shares were issued at a price of $0.21 (21 cents) per share;
  • (c) the Shares allotted and issued rank equally with the existing Shares on issue;
  • (d) the Shares were allotted and issued to sophisticated and professional investors based in Sydney and Hong Kong and who are clients of BW Equities; and
  • (e) the funds raised will be used to strengthen the Company's balance sheet and provide additional working capital for ongoing Syerston marketing activities and water business development.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolution 2 and 3: Approval to Grant Performance Rights to Mr Sam Riggall (or his nominee) and Mr Peter Voigt (or his nominee)

Background

Resolutions 2 and 3 of this Notice provide for 831,025 Performance Rights to be granted to Mr Sam Riggall (or his nominee) and 461,681 Performance Rights to be granted to Mr Peter Voigt (or his nominee), and on the terms described below.

Performance Rights are proposed to be granted to each of Mr Sam Riggall (or his nominee) and Mr Peter Voigt (or his nominee) to align their interests with the interests of Shareholders. The grant of the Performance Rights (and the subsequent issue of Shares if certain vesting conditions are met) to Mr Sam Riggall (or his nominee) and Mr Peter Voigt (or his nominee) is a cash retentive form of remuneration when compared to the payment of cash consideration.

It should also be noted that the extent to which the rights will vest is dependent on the shareholder returns generated by the Company outperforming a group of peer companies, which is intended to align the interests of all Shareholders.

The establishment of an effective performance management system assists in maintaining a focus on delivering superior shareholder returns. A key role of this program is to ensure that this objective is achieved. It should be recognised that the achievement of these objectives will be to the benefit of all Shareholders, and the conversion of the performance rights can only occur if these benefits are realised.

Consistent with the desire to minimise cash expenditures, the Board believes that in order to incentivise Mr Sam Riggall (or his nominee) and Mr Peter Voigt (or his nominee) in line with current market practices, Performance Rights provide an appropriate and meaningful remuneration component to executive management that is aligned with Shareholder interests.

Terms of Performance Rights

Resolutions 2 and 3 of this Notice provide for a total of 1,292,706 Performance Rights to be granted to Mr Sam Riggall (or his nominee) and Mr Peter Voigt (or his nominee). The Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt for nil consideration. The vesting of the Performance Rights is contingent on the Company achieving hurdles over a three year performance period. Further details on how Performance Hurdles are calculated are described below.

The value of the Performance Rights which are proposed to be granted can only be definitively determined at the time of grant, following shareholder approval. Based on an independent valuation obtained in June 2016 for Performance Rights with the same terms and conditions , the tranche of 831,025 Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Riggall are worth approximately $105,000 and the tranche of 461,681 Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Peter Voigt are worth approximately $58,000.

The full terms of the Performance Rights are set out in Annexure A of this Explanatory Statement.

Mr Sam Riggall's and Mr Peter Voigt's Remuneration Package

Mr Riggall was appointed to the Board on 4 June 2013 and as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer effective 1 July 2015. As announced on 25 May 2016, his remuneration package with effect from 1 July 2016 will comprise:

  • a fixed component of $300,000 per annum, plus compulsory employer superannuation contributions, reviewable annually;
  • the opportunity to earn an annual cash short term incentive bonus of up to $90,000 if key business performance hurdles achieve target;
  • an entitlement to receive Performance Rights under the LTIPlan, subject to Shareholder approval.

Approval is being sought in Resolution 2 in respect of the proposed grant of Performance Rights to Mr Riggall under the LTI Plan as a component of his revised overall executive remuneration package effective 1 July 2016, as announced by the Company on 25 May 2016. The revised terms reflect a level of remuneration which is considered by the Board to be appropriate for Mr Riggall's role given the current stage of the Company's development while providing an incentive to retain and adequately motivate Mr Riggall.

As advised on 25 May 2016, Mr Riggall and the Company have agreed to vary his executive services agreement from 1 July 2016, such that the terms relating to his on-going remuneration are consistent with the Company's general remuneration plan. As such, if any future grant to Mr Riggall of options or share rights is proposed for shareholder approval, such proposed grant shall be determined at the discretion of the Nomination and Remuneration Subcommittee of the Board, rather than being a contractual obligation of the Company. The proposed future grant of any options or share rights, remains subject to shareholder approval.

The Company also announced that the Nomination and Remuneration Subcommittee of the Board has committed to undertaking an independent remuneration benchmarking exercise for directors and key employees during FY17, to ensure that the Company's remuneration policies reflect best industry practise and to ensure that key employees are adequately motivated and retained.

Mr Voigt was appointed to the Board on 10 September 2007 as an Executive Director. His remuneration package from 1 July 2016 comprises:

  • a fixed component of $250,000 per annum, plus compulsory employer superannuation contributions, reviewable annually;
  • the opportunity to earn an annual cash short term incentive bonus of up to $62,500 of the fixed component if key business performance hurdles achieve target; and
  • an entitlement to receive Performance Rights under the LTIPlan, subject to shareholder approval.

Approval is being sought in Resolution 3 in respect of the proposed grant of Performance Rights to Mr Voigt under the LTIPlan as a component of his overall executive remuneration package.

Performance Rights offered

The Company proposes to make grants to Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt of Performance Rights under the LTI Plan. The Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt for nil consideration. The vesting of the Performance Rights is contingent on the Company achieving performance hurdles over a three year performance period (Performance Hurdles). Further details on how Performance Hurdles are calculated are described below.

The number of Performance Rights granted for the three year performance period will be 831,025 to Mr Riggall and 461,681 to Mr Voigt.

Conversion of Performance Rights into Shares

Under the LTI Plan, the Company is required to issue, or procure the transfer of, Shares to Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt in respect of Performance Rights for nil cash consideration on:

  • (a) the satisfaction of the Performance Hurdles (to the extent of the satisfaction of those hurdles) for the relevant Performance Period within three years from the date of each grant of Performance Rights (Performance Date) provided that in the absence of special circumstances Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt remains employed by the Company; or
  • (b) the occurrence of an Accelerated Event (more detail on the meaning of an Accelerated Event is provided below).

Performance Hurdles

Subject to an Accelerated Event, the Performance Rights will not vest unless the Performance Hurdles have been achieved by the Performance Date.

If the Performance Hurdles are not satisfied by the Performance Date the entitlement to Shares will lapse unless:

  • (a) the Remuneration & Nomination Committee decide exceptional circumstances justify the reduction or waiver in whole or in part of the Performance Hurdles; or
  • (b) an Accelerated Event occurs.

There is no ability to re-test whether or not the Performance Hurdles have been satisfied after the Performance Period has ended.

The number of Performance Rights which vest is determined by assessing the performance of the Company, as measured by TotalShareholder Return (TSR) at the Performance Date relative to a comparator group of companies (the Performance Hurdle). The VWAP of the Shares in the one-month preceding the Performance Date compared to VWAP of the Shares in the one month preceding the grant date, will be used in calculating TSR over the three year period. The TSR incorporates capital returns as well as dividends notionally reinvested and is considered the most appropriate means of measuring the Company's performance.

Performance Rights will only convert to Shares subject to the Performance Period being met and subject to the Company's TSR being at least equal to the median of the comparator group performance. The entire annual allocation will convert if the Company's TSR is at the 75th percentile or higher than the comparator group performance. The detailed breakdown of the relationship between the Company's performance and the conversion of Performance Rights is:

  • 0% converting if the Company TSR performance is below the median performance of the comparator group.
  • Straight line Pro-rata conversion if the Company TSR performance is at or above the median performance of the comparator group, but below the 75th percentile performance of the comparator group.
  • 100% converting if the Company TSR performance is at or above the 75th percentile performance of the comparator group.

In addition to the Performance Period and Performance Hurdles, the vesting of Performance Rights is subject to the continuing employment of Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt. Subject to an Accelerated Event, Performance Rights will generally lapse on Mr Riggall's and Mr Voigt's resignation or dismissal.

If an Accelerated Event occurs, all Performance Rights granted will automatically vest into Shares, irrespective of whether PerformanceHurdleshavebeenachieved.

To the extent that Performance Hurdles have not been satisfied in respect of a Performance Right, and an Accelerated Event has not occurred, once a Performance Period expires, that Performance Right lapses.

Having regard to the Performance Hurdles, the Directors consider that the issue of the Performance Rights represents reasonable remuneration.

Accelerated Event

Performance Rights granted under the LTI Plan will convert to Shares if an Accelerated Event has occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Accelerated Event occurs, the Performance Hurdles and the associated Performance Period do not apply to any of the Performance Rights granted under the LTI Plan to an Executive Officer.

An 'Accelerated Event' means:

  • (a) the Company becoming aware of a change of control of the Company occurring;
  • (b) a compromise or arrangement is approved by the Court under the Corporations Act in connection with a scheme for the acquisition, reorganisation or merger of the Company;
  • (c) the Company is delisted from ASX;
  • (d) a resolution is passed to wind up the Company; or
  • (e) only in respect of the relevant Executive Officer, a special circumstance occurs (Special Circumstance). Special Circumstance means with respect to an Executive Officer:
    • (i) Total and permanent disablement;
    • (ii) Redundancy;
    • (iii) the death of the Executive Officer during his or her employment or office with the Company; or
    • (iv) any other circumstance as the Remuneration & Nomination Committee may at any time determine from time to time.

Legal Requirements - Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company must not permit a Director or their associates to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without Shareholder approval. The LTI Plan constitutes an 'employee incentive scheme' under the ASX Listing Rules. If approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Disclosures for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14

It is proposed that the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Sam Riggall and Executive Director, Mr Peter Voigt, will participate in the LTIPlan by being granted an award of Performance Rights. As Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt are directors of the Company, shareholder approval is required in respect of the proposed grant of Performance Rights to Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt and the issue of Shares on the vesting of such Performance Rights upon satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions. The Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Notes have been

prepared to comply with Listing Rule 10.15A. No director of the Company, other than Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt, are eligible for participation in the LTIPlan.

The following disclosures are made for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15A:

  • (a) the maximum number of Performance Rights that can be awarded under this approval are 831,025 to Mr Riggall and 461,681 to Mr Voigt respectively. Subject to the satisfaction of the vesting conditions described above, Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt will receive one Share in the Company for each Performance Right granted;
  • (b) no consideration is payable on the grant of the Performance Rights, or the conversion of each Performance Right into a Share upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions;
  • (c) persons referred to in Listing rule 10.14 who received securities under the LTI Plan since the last approval, and details of those securities, are as follows:
Name of recipient Number of securities received Acquisition priceof each security
Sam Riggall 480,000 unlisted performance rights Nil
Peter Voigt 400,000 unlisted performance rights Nil
  • (d) Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt are the only directors (i.e. person referred to in Listing rule 10.14) entitled to participate in the LTI Plan;
  • (e) no loan will be made by the Company in relation to the grant of Performance Rights to Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt;
  • (f) details of any Performance Rights issued under the LTI Plan will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to a period in which the Performance Rights have been issued, and the annual report will confirm that approval for the issue of securities was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14;
  • (g) any director other than Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt who become entitled to participate in the LTI Plan after Resolution 2 and 3 is approved and who was not named in these Explanatory Notes will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14; and
  • (h) subject to the passing of Resolutions 2 and 3, it is expected that the first tranche of 831,025 Performance Rights to Mr Riggall and 461,681 Performance Rights to Mr Voigt will be granted no later than one month after the Meeting.

In addition, it is noted that:

  • (a) Mr Riggall's security interests in the Company are:
    • (i) 6,878,634 fully paid ordinary shares;
    • (ii) 480,000 unlisted performance rights;
    • (iii) 8,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at 15.74 cents per option, expiring 25 February 2018; and
    • (iv) 8,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at 23.05 cents per option, expiring 30 June 2018;
  • (b) Mr Voigt's security interests in the Company are:
    • (i) 27,725,794 fully paid ordinary shares;
    • (ii) 400,000 unlisted performance rights; and
    • (iii) 2,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at 14.5 cents per option, expiring 31 March 2018; and

(c) the dilution effect of the Performance Rights is in aggregate in the order of 0.29% of the total Shares on issue.

Advantages and Disadvantages

The Board notes that advantages may accrue to the Company and members as a result of the passing of Resolutions 2 and 3. These advantages potentially include the alignment of Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt's interests more closely with those of members, with a strong focus on the delivery of long term total shareholder return.

The Board also notes that disadvantages may accrue to the Company and members as a result of the passing of Resolutions 2 and 3. These disadvantages include dilution to members' interest in the Company as a result of the grant of Shares under the Performance Rights. The fair value of the Performance Rights over the Performance Periods will be expensed in the Company's ConsolidatedStatementofComprehensiveIncome.

Board Recommendation

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee has approved the grant of Performance Rights to Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt to secure their tenure with the Company as part of their remuneration as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director, having regard to their roles and the current stage of the Company's development, and to provide an incentive to improve the financial performance of the Company and, in turn, shareholder value.

The Board (with Mr Riggall and Mr Voigt each abstaining in respect of Resolutions 2 and 3, respectively) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2 and 3.

Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8: Approval for the grant of options to Mr Sam Riggall, Mr Peter Voigt, Mr Roger Harley, Mr Ian Knight and Mr Eric Finlayson

Further to the ASX announcement of 16 May 2016, the Company seeks approval for the proposed grants of options to the Directors of the Company as follows:

Proposedresolutionno. Optionrecipient/related party Numberofoptions Exercise price Vesting date Expiry date

The number of options proposed to be granted to Sam Riggall is in line with the terms of his employment contract in force at the time. The number of options proposed to be granted to each non-executive director represents 50% of the grant approved by shareholders in 2015. As per the ASX announcement of 16 May 2016, the exercise price of 31 cents was adopted at the time as it represented a material premium (43%) to the 30 day VWAP of shares traded in CLQ up to 13 May 2016, being the date at which the board agreed to the issue of options subject to shareholder approval.

The number of options proposed to be granted to Peter Voigt and the exercise price of those options is in line with the number of options and exercise price of options approved by the Board to be granted to other senior executives of the Company on 13 May 2016. The exercise price of 28.2 cents was adopted at the time as it represented a material premium (30%) to the 30 day VWAP of shares traded in CLQ up to 13 May 2016, being the date at which the board agreed to the issue of options subject to shareholder approval.

The 30 day CLQ VWAP up to and including 12 May 2016 was approximately 21.7 cents per share.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires the approval of shareholders before securities can be issued to a related party. If approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The following information is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.13 on the options that are proposed to be issued to the Directors:

  • (a) the related parties are Mr Sam Riggall, Mr Peter Voigt, Mr Roger Harley, Mr Ian Knight and Mr Eric Finlayson;
  • (b) the maximum number of options to be granted in total is 10,125,000;
  • (c) the Company will grant the options no later than one month after the Meeting;

  • (f) the dilution effect of the Options in aggregate is in the order of 2.26% of the total Shares on issue.

The Company believes it is appropriate to grant equity options to non-executive directors. Smaller entities often elect to use equity instruments to remunerate non-executive directors in order to attract and retain high caliber individuals while minimizing the cash cost of engaging those people. In addition, the options also help to create alignment between directors and shareholders.

In particular, the Company wishes to grant the Options to the relevant Directors under the proposed Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 instead of other alternatives considered by the Company including increasing Directors' fees or providing other forms of cash based remuneration at a time when the Company is in the early stages of development of its businesses. The Company considers the issue of the Options to be favourable to other available alternatives because it provides a means of appropriately remunerating and incentivising Directors in a manner that preserves cash resources and also aligns the interests of the Directors with the interests of shareholders.

Although the Options, if their issue is approved by shareholders, must ultimately be valued at the grant date, an indicative valuation of each tranche of Options as at 16 May 2016 (being the date the Company entered into an agreement to issue the options, subject to shareholder approval) is detailed below:

Option Recipient Number of Options Exercise Price of Indicative Value of

Since that date the share price of the Company as quoted on ASX has appreciated significantly, which may impact on the potential value of the Options when they are granted, subject to shareholder approval.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The proposed grants of the Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Sam Riggall, Peter Voigt, Roger Harley, Ian Knight and Eric Finlayson are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

Shareholder approval is sought for Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

In addition and in accordance with ASIC guidance, the Directors state the following regarding their recommendations about the proposed Resolutions

Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8

The following Directors are to receive Options under the relevant Resolutions and accordingly make no recommendation and abstain from making a recommendation because of the material personal interest in the following Resolutions:

  • in the case of Resolution 4, Mr Sam Riggall;
  • in the case of Resolution 5, Mr Peter Voigt;
  • in the case of Resolution 6, Mr Roger Harley;
  • in the case of Resolution 7, Mr Ian Knight; and
  • in the case of Resolution 8, Mr Eric Finlayson.

The Directors also consider that it is a matter of good practice to avoid making a recommendation about other Directors' remuneration in these circumstances as there may be a conflict of interest if such a recommendation was made. Accordingly, no Director makes any recommendation on the issue of Options to other Directors under Resolutions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, as applicable.

The Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 4 to 8.

(d) Participation in Securities Issues

Subject to paragraph (e) below, the holder is not entitled to participate in new issues of securities without exercising the Options.

(e) Participation in a Reorganisation of Capital

(i) In the event of any reconstruction or reorganisation (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return of the capital of the Company), the rights of an Option holder will be changed in accordance with the Listing Rules of the ASX applying to a restructure or reorganisation of the capital at the time of that restructure or reorganisation, provided always that the changes to the terms of the Options do not result in any benefit being conferred on the Option holder which is not conferred on Shareholders of the Company.

  • (ii) In any reorganisation as referred to in paragraph (e)(i), Options will be treated in the following manner:
    • (A) in the event of a consolidation of the share capital of the Company, the number of Options will be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary share capital of the Company and the exercise price will be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio;

(f) Adjustments to Options and Exercise Price

  • (i) Adjustments to the number of Shares over which Options exist and/or the exercise price may be made as described in paragraph (f)(ii) to take account of changes to the capital structure of the Company by way of prorata bonus and cash issues.

    • (A) Pro Rata Cash Issues

Where a pro-rata issue is made (except a bonus issue) to the holders of underlying securities, the exercise price of an Option may be reduced according to the following formula:

$$ O' = O - E[P-(S+D)] $$

$$ N + 1 $$

where:

  • O' = the new exercise price of the Option.
  • O = the old exercise price of the Option.
  • E = the number of underlying securities into which one Option is Exercisable.
  • P = the average market price per security (weighted by reference to volume) of the underlying securities during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date. S = the subscription price for a security under the pro-rata issue.
  • D = the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying securities (except those to be issued under the pro-rata issue).
  • N = the number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new security.
    • (B) Pro-Rata Bonus Issues

If there is a bonus issue to the holders of the underlying securities, on the exercise of any Options, the number of Shares received will include the number of bonus Shares that would have been issued if the Options had been exercised prior to the record date for bonus issues. The exercise price will not change.

(g) Change of Control

If:

(i) a takeover bid within the meaning of the Corporations Act is made for the shares in the Company and the bidder becomes entitled to compulsorily acquire all of the shares, any Options not exercised by the end of the bid period shall lapse; or

(ii) a court approves a scheme of arrangement in relation to the Company, which has been approved by a resolution passed by the requisite majorities of the Company's shareholders, the effect of which is that a person will have a relevant interest in at least 90% of the ordinary shares of the Company, any Options not exercised within 2 business days after the court order approving the scheme will automatically lapse.
