1. Proxy Instructions
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of the Shareholder. Where the Shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes, the Shareholder may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.
If the Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. A proxy need not be a Shareholder.
To be effective, the instrument of appointment of a proxy (and power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a certified copy of that power or authority) must be received by the Company by 2:30pm AEDT on Sunday 19 November 2017 (being 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting). Any proxy forms received after that time will not be valid for the meeting.
Completed proxy forms should be sent to the Company’s share registrar, Computershare Investor Services Pty Ltd. Details are set out on the appended proxy form.
If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on by marking either “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the form of proxy for that item of business.
Subject to the voting restrictions set out in the Voting Exclusion Statement, the Chairperson will vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of all Resolutions.
If the proxy is the Chairman, the Chairman can also vote undirected proxies and provided that proxy form expressly authorises the Chairman to vote even though the Resolutions are connected with the remuneration of key management personnel.
A form of proxy accompanies this Notice.
2. Undirected Proxies
The Chairman of the meeting will vote undirected proxies on, and in favor of, all of the proposed resolutions (this includes Resolutions 1, and 4).
If you appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy (or if he may be appointed by default), but you do not direct the Chairman how to vote in respect of Resolutions 1 and 4 your election to appoint the Chairman as your proxy will be deemed to constitute an express authorisation by you directing the Chairman to vote your proxy in favor of Resolutions 1 and 5 (unless you have exercised your right to direct the Chairman otherwise in respect of a particular Resolution by marking the ‘against’ or 'abstain' column in respect of any of the relevant resolutions).
This express authorisation acknowledges that the Chairman may vote your proxy even if he or she has an interest in the outcome of Resolutions 1 and 4, even if the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with remuneration of a member of the KMP of the Company (or if the Company is part of a consolidated entity, for the entity) and accordingly your votes will be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called.

ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS
Resolution 1 Adoption of 2017 Remuneration Report
In accordance with Section 300A(1) of the Corporations Act the Remuneration Report is included in the Directors Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2017.
The Remuneration Report sets out details of the remuneration received by the directors and key Company executives, in addition to describing Board policy in respect of remuneration. Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval of the adoption of the Remuneration Report by the Company.
The outcome of the vote on this resolution is advisory only and not binding on the Company or the Board.
The Corporations Act provides that members of the Key Management Personnel (as set out on page 14 of the Company's 2017 Annual Report, and is defined in the Corporation Act to include the Chairman) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report (and any closely related party of those members) are not permitted to vote on a resolution to approve the Remuneration Report.
However, Sections 250U to 250Y of Corporations Act provide for a ‘two strikes and re-election’ process in relation to the shareholder vote on the Remuneration Report provide that:
-
A ‘first strike’ will occur if this Remuneration Report resolution receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more. If this occurs, the Company’s subsequent remuneration report must contain an explanation of the Board’s proposed action in response to the ‘no’ vote or an explanation of why no action has been taken by the Board.
-
A ‘second strike’ will occur if the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report at the 2017 Company Annual General Meeting also receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more. If this occurs, shareholders will vote at that Annual General Meeting to determine whether the Directors will need to stand for re-election at a separate, subsequent meeting (the ‘spill resolution’). If the spill resolution passes with 50% or more of eligible votes cast, the spill meeting must take place within 90 days.
The Company has not received a first strike.
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report which can be viewed online at the Company’s website, www.titomic.com on the “Financials” page under “Investors & Press”.

Voting Restrictions
Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) and their closely related parties are not permitted to vote on this Resolution. KMPs of the Company are the Directors of the Company and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Company’s KMPs for the financial year ending 30 June 2017. ‘Closely related parties’ are defined in the Corporations Act 2001, and include certain of their family members, dependents and companies they control.
However, a KMP may cast a proxy where the proxy specifies in writing how the KMP is to vote (except proxies cast on behalf of another KMP). The Chair is permitted to vote undirected proxies where the shareholder expressly authorises the chair to exercise the proxy.
Accordingly, if you have appointed the Chair as your proxy you must either direct the Chair how to vote or you must tick the box on the proxy form expressly authorising the Chair to vote undirected proxies notwithstanding that the Chair or KMP may benefit.
If you do not direct the Chair how to vote or you do not mark the box authorising the Chair to vote undirected proxies, the Chair will not cast your votes on Resolution 1 and your votes will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this resolution.
The Board abstains from making a recommendation in relation to shareholders voting on Resolution 1.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION
Resolution 4 – Approval of additional capacity to issue Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
In 2012, the ASX introduced ASX Listing Rule 7.1A which enables certain ‘eligible entities’ to issue equity securities of up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over the 12-month period commencing after the annual general meeting at which the additional approval is obtained (Additional Placement Capacity). ASX Listing Rules require that Shareholders approve the Additional Placement Capacity by special resolution, at an annual general meeting before any equity securities are issued under the Additional Placement Capacity.
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A an ‘eligible entity’ is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an ‘eligible entity’ for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The Additional Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore, if the Additional Placement Capacity is approved, the Directors will be allowed to issue equity securities of up to 10% of the Company’s issued share capital pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and up to 15% pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If the Additional Placement Capacity is not approved, the Directors will still be allowed to issue equity securities of up to 15% of the Company’s issued capital pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity to be able to take advantage of being able to immediately place securities without having to incur additional costs to the Company or awaiting the necessary delays to prepare for, and hold another shareholders’ meeting to specifically approve such a further issuance of securities.
Page 3 of 7
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
==> picture [29 x 23] intentionally omitted <==
Whilst the Company currently has no intention or reason to issue this additional placement capacity, in the future having this additional placement capacity to immediately issue securities could be used for reasons such as;
-
to settle debts of the company in lieu of cash payments to preserve cash reserves; or
-
to perform a minor capital raising to raise funds to pay for an unforeseen expenditure; or
-
to perform a minor capital raising to raise funds to take advantage of an opportunity to accelerate current company deliverables and timelines; or
-
to provide the new securities as consideration for a strategic acquisition or another complementary entity, business, piece of intellectual property, rights, technology, equipment, or assets.
The Directors advise that this additional placement capacity will only be used by the Company if it is necessary due to timing constraints pertaining to the underlying transaction(s) for which it is used.
Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12-month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
a) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
c) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
d) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
-
e) Note that A is has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
D is 10%
E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A the Company provides the following information.
Any securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity will be in the same class as existing quoted securities of the Company. The Company has the following classes of quoted equity securities as at the date of this Notice of Meeting;
- Ordinary fully paid shares ASX code TTT.
The issue price for each security issued under the Additional Placement Capacity will not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in that class over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date above, the date on which the securities are issued.
Page 4 of 7
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
==> picture [29 x 23] intentionally omitted <==
The issue of equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity may result in voting dilution of existing ordinary shareholders (as shown in Table 1). There is also the risk that:
-
the market price for equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date.
Equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity may be issued until the earlier of:
-
Wednesday 21[st] November 2018; and
-
the date of approval by ordinary shareholders of a significant change to the Company’s activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or the date of approval by ordinary shareholders of a disposal of a major asset under ASX Listing Rule 11.2 or such longer period if allowed by the ASX.
Any approval of the Additional Placement Capacity at this Meeting will cease to be valid if and from the date that ordinary shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
The Company may issue equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
non-cash consideration: for the acquisition of new assets or the settlement of obligations (in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rules); or
-
cash consideration: to raise funds for working capital, to fund product research, development and commercialisation programs or for the acquisition of new assets.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A (4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any equity securities.
The Company’s allocation policy for issues under the Additional Placement Capacity is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue.
The identity of the allottees of the equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including rights issues or other issues in which existing shareholders may participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial position of the Company; and
-
advice from the Company’s advisors.
The Directors have not decided if they will issue any securities under the Additional Placement Capacity and so allottees under the Additional Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. If Directors decide to issue securities under the Additional Placement Capacity, allottees may include existing Shareholders, existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Table 1 shows the dilution of Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2).
The table also shows:
-
I. two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
II. two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

-
The issue of equity securities under the additional placement capacity includes only shares.
-
The issue price of $0.45 was the closing price of Shares as traded on ASX as at 5:00pm on Thursday 5 October 2017. This price may fluctuate between the time of preparing this Notice and the date of the Meeting.

How to Vote on Items of Business
All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.
Appointment of Proxy
Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.
Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.
Signing Instructions
Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.
Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.
Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.
