NOTES

1. In accordance with regulations 7.11.37 and 7.11.38 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Board has determined that for the purposes of the Meeting, a person’s entitlement to vote at the Annual General Meeting will be the entitlement set out in the Company’s share register as at 7.00pm Wednesday, 24 November 2021.

2. A member who is entitled to attend and cast a vote at a meeting of the company’s members is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote for the member at the Meeting. A member who is entitled to cast two or more votes is entitled to appoint two proxies. A member may not appoint more than two proxies. If two proxies are appointed by a member, that member may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a member appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

3. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate, and need not be a member of the Company.

4. An appointment of a proxy may be a standing one.

5. A body corporate may appoint an individual as its representative to exercise any of the powers the body corporate may exercise at meetings of the Company’s shareholders. Unless the appointment states otherwise, the representative may exercise all of the powers that the appointing body could exercise at a meeting or in voting on a resolution.

The representative should bring to the meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which the appointment is signed, unless it has previously been given to the Company.

6. A proxy form and the power of attorney or authority (if any) under which it is signed or a copy of the power of attorney or authority certified as a true copy by statutory declaration, must be duly completed and returned to Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited, GPO Box 242, Melbourne, Victoria 3001 Australia or at fax number: (within Australia) 1800 783 447 or (outside Australia) +61 3 9473 2555 by no later than 11:30am Wednesday, 24 November 2021. Proxy forms received after this time will be invalid.

7. Members who appoint a proxy should consider how they wish to direct the proxy to vote, that is, whether the member wishes the proxy to vote "for" or "against", or to abstain from voting, on each resolution, or whether to leave the decision to the appointed proxy after discussion at the Meeting (subject to the voting exclusions noted above).

8. A proxy's authority to speak and vote for a member at a meeting is suspended while the member is present at the meeting.

9. A valid proxy form confers authority to the proxy to demand or join in demanding a poll.

10. A poll may not be demanded on the election of the chairman of the Meeting or on a question of adjourning the Meeting.

11. On a show of hands, every member present in person has 1 vote. Where a person present at the Meeting represents (whether personally or by proxy, attorney or representative) more than one member on a show of hands:

10

==> picture [140 x 73] intentionally omitted <==

  • the person is entitled to 1 vote only despite the number of members the person represents, and that vote will be taken as having been cast for all the members the person represents; and

  • for a person who has been appointed as a proxy under two or more proxy forms that specify different ways to vote on a Resolution, the person may not vote as a proxy on a show of hands, however, if the person is a member, that person may vote on a show of hands without regard to the proxy the person holds.

12. On a poll, every member present in person will have, in the case of fully paid shares, 1 vote for each share held by that member, and in the case of partly paid shares, for each share, a fraction of a vote equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid up bears to the total issue price for the share.

13. If a proxy form lodged by a member specifies the manner in which the proxy is to vote in respect of a particular Resolution:

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way;

  • if the proxy has two or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the Resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands;

  • if the proxy is the chairman of the Meeting, the proxy must vote on a poll and must vote that way; and

  • if the proxy is not the chairman of the Meeting, the proxy need not vote on a poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way.

14. If an appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting, then the chairman of the Meeting will be taken to have been appointed as the proxy of the relevant shareholder in respect of the Meeting. In addition, if a proxy attends the Meeting and has been directed how to vote on a resolution, but the proxy does not vote on that resolution on a poll, then the chairman of the Meeting will be taken to have been appointed as the proxy of the relevant shareholder in respect of that poll.

15. In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman of the Meeting has a casting vote, except that where the chairman is also a member of the Company, he or she does not have a casting vote in addition to his or her deliberate vote.

16. The Explanatory Statement attached to this Notice of Meeting is hereby incorporated into and forms part of this Notice of Meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the shareholders of the Company to provide information about the items of business to be considered at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders to be held on Friday, 26 November 2021. Shareholders are encouraged to read this document in full.

Voting on the Resolution

With the exception of Resolution 3, all of the Resolutions to be voted on are ordinary resolutions. Resolution 3 is a special resolution. An ordinary resolution requires a simple majority of votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution in order for it to be carried. A special resolution requires 75% of votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution to vote in favour of the resolution in order for it to be carried. Each Resolution will be decided on a poll.

Opportunity for questions and comments

If appropriate and if time permits, the chairman of the Meeting will discuss significant issues raised by shareholders prior to the Meeting and will invite questions and comments from shareholders on these key issues and any other appropriate and relevant matters that shareholders would like to raise at the Meeting.

In addition, a reasonable opportunity will be given to members present at the Meeting to ask questions about or make comments on the management of the Company, and to ask the Company’s auditor, Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd, questions relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the auditor’s report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the auditor. If you would like to submit a written question to Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd before the Meeting on any of the foregoing matters, please send your question to the Company Secretary, Jeffrey Ma, at [email protected] before 19 November 2021.

If you have a more general issue or question that you would like discussed at the Meeting, please write to the Company Secretary, Jeffrey Ma, at the above email address.

How will the chairman vote as proxy if the shareholder has not directed the chairman to vote?

If a shareholder of the Company appoints the chairman of the Annual General Meeting as proxy and does not direct the chairman on how to vote on a proposed Resolution then, if that Shareholder is entitled to vote on that Resolution, the chairman intends to vote in favour of that proposed Resolution.

Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

In accordance with section 250R of the Corporations Act, the Company submits to shareholders for consideration and adoption, by way of a non-binding resolution, its Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2021.

The Remuneration Report is a distinct section of the annual directors’ report which deals with the remuneration of directors and executives (which includes senior management) of the Company. The Remuneration Report can be located in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021 on pages 11 to 15. Shareholders who have elected not to receive a printed copy of the Company’s 2020 annual report may obtain a copy from the Company’s website www.tpc.com.au under “Corporate and Investor Info”.

The Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its directors. However the Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies. If 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive AGMs, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another

12

==> picture [140 x 73] intentionally omitted <==

meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (other than the Managing Director/CEO) must stand for re-election.

The Board encourages all shareholders to cast their votes on Resolution 1 (Adoption of Remuneration Report). The chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not directed the chairman how to vote on Resolution 1 by signing and returning the proxy form accompanying this document, the shareholder is considered to have provided an express authorisation for the chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the chairman’s intention.

Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Steven Goodarzi as a director

Pursuant to rule 6.4 of the Company's constitution and the ASX Listing Rules, Mr Goodarzi will retire by rotation as director of the Company and seeks re-election.

Steven joined the Company as Chief Strategy Officer in 2013.

Steven has extensive management and operational experience internationally in strategy, business development, sales and marketing across the telecommunications and IT industries. He has been involved in leading the development of strategy of the financial markets across the major financial centres of Asia, North America and Europe. Most recently, Steven was based in Tokyo with KVH, a Fidelity Investment company, as Director of Strategy and Business Development.

Steven’s vision and leadership is the driver behind the establishment of the energy business...

Recommendation : The Board (excluding Mr Goodarzi) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of the period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables the Company, as an "eligible entity" (as defined below), to issue Equity Securities forming up to an additional 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which shareholder approval by special resolution is obtained ( 10% Placement Facility ).

Under the ASX Listing Rules, an "eligible entity" means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

The Company's ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility would be in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and effectively, if Resolution 3 is passed, the Company's 15% capacity to issue securities without shareholder approval would be increased by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company seeks shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3, the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in an existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.

13

==> picture [140 x 73] intentionally omitted <==

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has on issue 11,375,613 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 1,706,341 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 1,137,561 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier of:

  • (i) The date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • (i) The time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; or

  • (ii) The time and date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( 10% Placement Period ).

Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (a) Minimum issue price

The Equity Securities will be issued for a cash consideration per share at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price ( VWAP ) for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) The date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) If the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Risk of economic and voting dilution

If Resolution 3 is approved by the Company's shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date,

14

==> picture [140 x 73] intentionally omitted <==

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

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

where:

  • A is the number of shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:

  • (a) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2, other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • (b) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • (i) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • (ii) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the ASX Listing Rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (c) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • (i) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • (ii) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the ASX Listing Rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (d) plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (e) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;

  • (f) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the relevant period,

where "relevant period" means the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.

Note that A has the same meaning in 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 Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4,

where "relevant period" means the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.

The below table shows the dilution of existing 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 as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

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 ASX 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 table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

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

  • (ii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issue share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (iii) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (iv) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (v) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.

  • (vi) The issue price is $3.25, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 30 September 2021.

(c) Date by which Equity Securities will be issued under the 10% Placement Facility

The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 3 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

(d) Purposes for which the Equity Securities may be issued

The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration only. The Company intends to use the funds raised by an issue of the Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 towards an acquisition of businesses or technology (including expenses associated with such acquisition(s)), development expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e) The Company's allocation policy for issues under the approval

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available in the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

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

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Meeting but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new businesses or technology, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the investments.

(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 27 November 2020 ( Previous Approval ).

The Company has not issued or agreed to issue any Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 pursuant to the Previous Approval in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting.

(g) Voting exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice of Meeting. At the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has not approached any particular existing shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in this Notice of Meeting.

Recommendation : The Board believes that the resolution under Resolution 3 is in the best interest of the Company and unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
