Voting entitlement
The board of directors of TZ Limited has determined in accordance with regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 that for the purpose of voting at the Annual General Meeting, shares will be taken to be held by those who hold them at 7.00 pm (Sydney time) on Saturday, 26 November 2016. This means that if you are not the registered holder of a relevant share at the time, you will not be entitled to vote in respect of that share.
Voting by proxy
Each shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting may appoint a proxy to attend and vote on behalf of that shareholder. The proxy need not be a shareholder. Please note that a proxyholder cannot vote on a show of hands but can speak at the meeting and can vote on a poll.
A shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint one or two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of shareholder's votes, each proxy may exercise half the votes (disregarding fractions). Neither proxy may vote on a show of hands.
In the event that a shareholder appoints a proxy and specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution:
-
where the proxy is not the Chairman:
-
(a) the proxy need not vote on a poll but if the proxy does so then the proxy must vote the way that the shareholder specifies; and
-
(b) if a poll is demanded and the proxy does not attend or vote, then the Chairman is taken to have been appointed as the proxy; and
-
where the Chairman is the proxy (including where the Chairman is taken to have been appointed the proxy as set out above) the proxy must vote on a poll and must vote the way that the shareholder specifies.

Impact of your proxy appointment on your voting instructions
If you appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy and have not directed him how to vote, you are authorising the Chairman of the Meeting to cast your undirected vote on all proposed resolutions in accordance with his intentions set out below.
If you appoint any other Director or other member of the Key Management Personnel or their Closely Related Parties as your proxy, they will not be able to vote your proxy on Resolution 1 (Remuneration report), unless you have directed them how to vote.
If you intend to appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel or the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, you are encouraged to direct them how to vote on Resolution 1 by marking "For", "Against" or "Abstain" for that item of business.
The Chairman's voting intentions
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of, all the proposed resolutions. If there is a change to how the Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies, the Company will make an announcement to the ASX.
The Chairman's decision on the validity of a direct vote, vote cast by a proxy or vote cast in person, is conclusive.

KENNETH TING COMPANY SECRETARY 4 October 2016
TZ Limited ACN 073 979 272 Annual General Meeting Explanatory Memorandum
Important information
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of the shareholders of TZ Limited (the " Company ") in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held at 10.00 am (Sydney time) on 28 November 2016, at The Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Press Rooms 1, 2 and 3, Lower Ground Floor, 27 O’Connell Street, Sydney, New South Wales.
The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information that the Directors believe to be material to shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the resolutions set out in the Notice. Amongst other things, this Explanatory Memorandum provides members with the information to be provided under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
You should read this document carefully.
This Explanatory Memorandum and the accompanying Notice are important. You should read each document in its entirety before deciding how to vote on the resolutions at the Meeting. If you are in doubt as to what you should do, you should consult your financial, legal or other professional adviser.
No investment advice
This Explanatory Memorandum does not constitute financial product advice and it does not purport to contain all the information that a prospective investor may require in evaluating a possible investment in the Company. This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared without taking account of any person’s particular investment objectives, financial situation or needs.
Role of ASX
Copies of this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice have been lodged with ASX for the purposes of Listing Rule 15.1.4. Neither ASX nor any of its officers take any responsibility for the contents of this Explanatory Memorandum and the Notice.
Glossary
Unless otherwise defined in this document, capitalised terms have the meaning set out in the Glossary at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum.
Financial Statements and Reports
The Corporations Act requires the financial report (which includes the Financial Statements and Directors' Declaration), the Directors' Report and Auditor's Report to be laid before the Annual General Meeting. There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or the Company's Constitution for shareholders to approve the Financial Report, the Directors'
2
Report or the Auditor's Report. Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask questions and make comments on these reports.
Whilst no resolution is required in relation to this item, the auditor of the Company or their representative will be available to receive questions relevant to:
-
(a) the conduct of the audit;
-
(b) the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report;
-
(c) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the Financial Statements; and
-
(d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
Resolution 1 - Remuneration report
The annual report for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 contains a remuneration report which sets out the remuneration policies applicable to the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements that were in place for the Company's Directors and senior executives for the financial year ended 30 June 2016.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the meeting before shareholders are asked to vote on Resolution 1, to adopt the remuneration report.
The vote on the resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, your Directors will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.
Under the provisions of the Corporations Act known generally as the "two strikes rule", shareholders should note that if 25% or more of the votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those Annual General Meetings on a resolution (a "spill resolution") that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's Directors (other than any managing director who may continue to hold office indefinitely without re-election under the ASX Listing Rules) must stand for re-election. Shareholders should be aware that at the Company's 2015 annual general meeting, less than 25% of the votes that were cast voted against the adoption of the 2015 remuneration report and accordingly no spill resolution can result at this Annual General Meeting.
Noting that each Director has a personal interest in his own remuneration from the Company, the Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of Resolution 1.
The Chairman intends to vote any proxies held by him in favour of Resolution 1 (unless the appointer directs him otherwise).
3
Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mark Bouris as Director
In accordance with the Company’s constitution, Mr Mark Bouris will retire by rotation from office at the Meeting, and being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.
Mark Bouris is the Executive Chairman of the Company and has over 27 years' experience in the finance and property sectors. Mark is also the Executive Chairman of Yellow Brick Road Holdings Limited, Non-Executive Chairman of Anteo Diagnostics Limited and a board member of the Sydney Roosters. He is an Adjunct Professor at the University of New South Wales Australian School of Business and he sits on boards for the University of NSW Business Advisory Council and the University of Western Sydney Foundation Council. Mark is also the author of three business and finance books.
The continuing Directors unanimously support the re-election of Mr Mark Bouris as a Director of the Company.
The Chairman intends to vote any undirected proxies held by him in favour of Resolution 2.
Resolution 3 – Approval of prior issue of Shares – June 2016 placement
Background
The Company is seeking the approval of members for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4, in respect of the issue of 36,363,637 fully paid ordinary shares that were issued under its share placement in June 2016.
On 24 June 2016 the Company completed a capital raising by way of private placement, through the issue of 36,363,637 ordinary shares at 11 cents per share, raising $4,000,000 before costs (the " Placement ").
Effect of approval
In general terms, Listing Rule 7.1 of the ASX Listing Rules imposes a 15% cap on the number of equity securities (including ordinary shares) that can be issued by the Company, without the approval of shareholders, in any 12 month period (" 15% limit "). However, the Company is permitted to issue shares in excess of the 15% limit if those shares are issued in reliance on an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 or the issue is approved by shareholders. Listing Rule 7.4 enables shareholders to subsequently approve the issue of such shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of the approval by shareholders under Resolution 3 would be that the 36,363,637 Shares issued under the Placement by the Company will not count towards the 15% limit.
The Company's capital base is critical to its ability to manage its business. It is important for the Board to have maximum flexibility in accessing all forms of capital.
The requirement to obtain shareholder approval for an issue (and the need to convene a special meeting to do so), before the issue, could limit the Company's ability to take advantage of opportunities that may arise to raise equity capital.
4
No decision has been made by the Board to undertake any further issue of equity securities in the event that approval is received from shareholders in respect of Resolution 3. The Board will only decide to issue further equity securities if it considers it is in the best interests of the Company to do so. This may depend, amongst other things, on the Company's capital position and conditions in capital markets.
Information required under ASX Listing Rule 7.5
Each of the 36,363,637 Shares were issued at an issue price of 11 cents per Share.
The funds raised from the issue of the 36,363,637 Shares have been used to meet the costs of the Placement (approximately $265,734 exclusive of GST) and to pay for costs in connection with the Pos Malaysia tender award and in connection with various large scale deployments, including for a large logistics company in the United States of America, Couriers Please in Australia and Singapore Post in Singapore (approximately $2,807,456 to the date of the Notice). The remaining balance of the funds raised will be used to continue to pay the costs of these large scale deployments.
The 36,363,637 Shares were issued on the same terms as, and rank equally with, all other ordinary shares in the capital of the Company then on issue.
The 36,363,637 Shares were allotted to various sophisticated and professional investors based on applications received under the Placement, each approved by the Company, following consultation with Wilson HTM Limited, who acted as Lead Manager and Bookrunner to the Placement.
Board Recommendation
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company that the Directors maintain their ability to issue up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company over the next 12 months.
The Directors recommend that members vote in favour of Resolution 3.
Resolution 4 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
1. General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting (" 10% Placement Facility "). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A 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.
The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
5
The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 2(c) below).
2. Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
(b) Equity Securities
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.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, namely Shares.
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
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 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 Listing Rules 7.1 or 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.
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 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue
6
that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 503,983,352 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue, subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolutions 3 and 4, 50,398,335 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. At the date of this Notice, the Company has capacity to issue 33,476,597 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1, although this capacity would increase to 75,597,502 Equity Securities if Resolution 3 is passed.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 2(c) above).
(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in the same class calculated 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; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under 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 to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under 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 ").
3. Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
7
Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative).
4. Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
(a) The Equity Securities in any existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company's Equity Securities in that class 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; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If Resolution 4 is approved by 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 (in the case of Unlisted Options, only if the Unlisted Options are exercised). 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,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares (which is assumed to be 8.0 cents, being the closing Share price on 5 September 2016) and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
-
(a) 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
-
(b) 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) No Unlisted Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(iii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
(iv) 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.
-
(v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.
-
(vii) The issue price is 8.0 cents, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 5 September 2016.
-
(c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of the Equity
9
Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
(i) to raise additional cash likely to be needed from time to time in order to obtain and fulfil new contracts of supply to the Company’s customers. The fulfilment of each contract requires expenditure by the Company on associated costs including manufacturing costs, in addition to normal operating expenses;
-
(ii) to raise cash for other purposes such as the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), the continued development and enhancement of the Company’s technology and/or general working capital; or
-
(iii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
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:
-
(iv) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(v) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(vi) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(vii) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility may be limited to sophisticated and professional investors, to avoid the additional costs associated with regulatory compliance for an issue to retail investors.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.
- (e) The Company has obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A previously, including at its 2015 annual general meeting held on 23 November 2015.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has no plans to use the 10% Placement Facility should it be approved.
