Thorney Technologies Ltd Notice of Annual General Meeting
ORDINARY BUSINESS
ITEM 1 – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER REPORTS
The Corporations Act requires that the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report be considered at the AGM. Shareholders are not required to vote on these reports.
The Chairman will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions and make comments on the reports. Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the content of the Auditor’s Report.
ITEM 2 – REMUNERATION REPORT
The 2023 Remuneration Report outlines the key management personnel remuneration arrangements of the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act and its Regulations for the financial year ended 30 June 2023.
The 2023 Remuneration Report is included on pages 8-11 of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report and is available on TEK’s website here https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/TEK/02704147.pdf.
The Chairman will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about or make comments on the 2023 Remuneration Report.
The vote on the 2023 Remuneration Report is advisory and will not bind the Company or its Directors. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the future remuneration practices and policies of the Company. If at least 25% of the votes cast on the Resolution are against adoption of the 2023 Remuneration Report at the AGM, then:
-
if comments are made on the 2023 Remuneration Report at the AGM, the Company's 2023 Remuneration Report in respect of the financial year ending on 30 June 2023 will be required to include an explanation of the Board's proposed action in response to those comments or, if no action is proposed, the reasons why; and
-
if, at the Company's 2024 annual general meeting, at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution for adoption of the 2024 Remuneration Report are against its adoption, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing that a general meeting (“ Spill Meeting” ) be held within 90 days to consider the election of Directors of the Company (“ Spill Resolution” ). The Spill Meeting must be held within 90 days of the date of the 2024 annual general meeting. If more than 50% of the votes cast on the Spill Resolution are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Spill Resolution will be passed and all of the Directors in office at the 2024 annual general meeting (other than the managing director) will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting, unless they are re-elected at the Spill Meeting.
It is noted that at the Company’s last annual general meeting, the votes cast against the 2022 Remuneration Report represented less than twenty-five (25%) per cent of the total votes cast and accordingly, a spill resolution will not under any circumstances be required for this AGM.
In accordance with Section 250SA of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions concerning, or make comments on, the 2023 Remuneration Report at the AGM.
This Resolution is an ordinary resolution. A voting restriction applies to this Resolution as detailed in section 9 of this Notice of Meeting. As this Resolution relates to matters including the
