-
if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

if the proxy is not the chair, the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (ie as directed).

This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial period ended 30 June 2019 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company is not required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy.
Whilst the Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report unless specifically requested to do so, Shareholders may view the Company annual financial report on its websites at www.servtechglobal.com.au and www.vection.com.au.
2. RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.
The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
2.2 Voting consequences
Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the previous financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
2.3 Previous voting results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

2.4 Proxy restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:
If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member as your proxy
You must direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution . Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you must mark the acknowledgement on the Proxy Form to expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his/her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel .
If you appoint any other person as your proxy
You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution, and you do not need to mark any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.

4. RESOLUTION 3: APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
4.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
The Company is an Eligible Entity. If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below).
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
This Resolution is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of this Resolution for it to be passed.
4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those
6
under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity. An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
The Company is an Eligible Entity. Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has 1 class of quoted Equity Securities on issue:
657,171,676 Shares (ASX Code: SVT)
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of Shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
-
(iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
-
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 issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
4.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded 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 ASX trading days of the date in section 4.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) Date of Issue The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid), ( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).
-
(c) Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue. If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below. Table A shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 and on the assumptions set out below the table.
Table A also shows the voting dilution impact where the current number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.
7
Note the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Table A: Dilution Table with Current Shares on Issue
| Number of Shares on Issue (Variable ‘A’ in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2) |
DILUTION | DILUTION | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Issue Price (per Share) |
$0.007 50% decrease in Issue Price |
$0.014 Issue Price |
$0.028 100% increase in Issue Price |

| Funds raised | $460,020 | $920,040 | $1,840,080 | |
| 985,757,514 (50% increase in Variable A) |
Shares issued - 10% voting dilution |

| Funds raised | $920,040 | $1,840,080 | $3,680,160 |
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are 657,171,676 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of Shares on ASX on 9 October 2019, being $0.014.
-
ServTech issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. 4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares and it is assumed that no Options or Rights are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Shares.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
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%.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
-
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for development of the Company’s technology and for general working capital; or
-
(ii) as non-cash consideration for the provison of services to the Company or the acquisition of new projects, 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.
-
(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
-
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s). The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company. The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
8
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.
- (f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2018 annual general meeting. No Shares have been issued under Listing Rule 7.1A in the preceding 12 month period.
During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 25 November 2018, the Company otherwise issued a total of 443,797,732 Shares which represents approximately 208% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 25 November 2018, which was 213,373,944 Equity Securities.
- (g) Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule A.
4.4 Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX:
-
(a) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
-
(b) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.
4.5 Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 3.
5. RESOLUTION 4: CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Directors have determined to change the name of the Company to “Vection Technologies Limited”. Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the change of name in accordance with section 157 of the Corporations Act.
Resolution 4 is a special resolution.
The change of name of the Company will take effect from when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.
It is proposed the Company’s ASX listing code will also be changed from “SVT” to “ VR1 ”.
6. RESOLUTION 5: RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF COLLATERAL SHARES TO ACUITY CAPITAL
6.1 General
During the year, the Company entered into a Controlled Placement Agreement (CPA) with Acuity Capital Investment Management Pty Ltd ATF Acuity Capital Holdings Trust (Acuity Capital). The CPA provides the Company with up to $2 million of standby equity capital over a 24 month period. The Company retains full control of all aspects the placement process: having sole discretion as to whether or not to utilise the CPA, the quantum of issued shares, the minimum issue price of shares and the timing of each placement tranche (if any). There are no requirements on the Company to utilise the CPA and it may terminate the CPA at any time, without cost or penalty. Acuity Capital and the CPA do not place any restrictions at any time on the Company raising capital through other methods. If the Company does decide to utilise the CPA, it is able to set a floor price (at its sole discretion) and the final issue price will be calculated as the greater of that floor price set by the Company and a 10% discount to a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) over a period of the Company’s choosing (again at the sole discretion of the Company).
As collateral for the CPA, the Company has agreed to place 32,000,000 Shares from its Listing Rule 7.1 capacity, at nil consideration to Acuity Capital (Collateral Shares) but may, at any time, cancel the CPA and buy back the Collateral Shares for no consideration (subject to Shareholder approval).
The Company issued the 32,000,000 Shares without prior Shareholder approval under the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
9
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes of the issue of those Shares.
6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.4
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that (subject to certain exceptions (none of which is relevant here)) prior approval of Shareholders is required for an issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the Company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 will be treated as having been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of those ASX Listing Rules if shareholders subsequently ratify it and the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking shareholder ratification for the issue of 32,000,000 Shares issued under the Company’s 15% share issue capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of such ratification is to restore the Company’s discretionary power to issue further equity securities up to 15% of the number of ordinary shares on issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if required, at the beginning of the relevant 12 month period without obtaining Shareholder approval.
6.3 ASX Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:
-
(a) The number of securities issued: 32,000,000 Fully Paid Ordinary Shares
-
(b) The price at which the securities were issued: The Shares were issued for no consideration as they were issued to Acuity Capital as Collateral Shares.
-
(c) The terms of the securities: The Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.
-
(d) The names of the persons to whom the entity issued the securities or the basis on which those persons were determined: Acuity Capital Investment Management Pty Ltd ATF Acuity Capital Holdings Trust, which is not a related party of the Company.
-
(e) The use (or intended use) of the funds raised: No funds were raised from the issue of the Shares as they were issued for no consideration.
7. RESOLUTION 6: AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION
7.1 General
The Company is currently governed by its existing Constitution which it has had in place since November 2016.
Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company can modify its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution. Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval to amend its Constitution by a special resolution of shareholders as set out below.
A copy of the amended constitution will be sent to Shareholders on request and will also be available for inspection at the office of the Company during normal business hours prior to the Meeting.
7.2 Background
Changes to the Listing Rules will commence on 1 December 2019 which will require a listed entity’s constitution to contain certain provisions regarding Restricted Securities if the entity has any Restricted Securities on issue. Although the Company does not presently have any Restricted Securities on issue and does not have any present intentions to undertake a transaction which would result in the issue of Restricted Securities, the Board considers it prudent to take this opportunity to update the Constitution to ensure it complies with these new requirements.
With effect from 1 December 2019, ASX intends to apply a two-tier escrow regime where ASX can require certain more significant holders of Restricted Securities and their controllers to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form of Appendix 9A of the Listing Rules, as is currently the case. However, for less significant holdings, ASX will instead permit entities to rely on a provision in their constitution imposing appropriate escrow restrictions on the holders of restricted securities and to simply give a notice to the holders of Restricted Securities in the form to be set out in an appendix to the Listing Rules, advising them of those restrictions.
To facilitate the operation of the new two-tier escrow regime, certain changes are required to the customary provisions of constitutions of ASX-listed entities regarding Restricted Securities.
10
7.3 Proposed Amendment
Constitution currently provides as follows:
Clause 8.2 (b) Excepted as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX, a Member must not dispose of restricted securities during the escrow period for those securities.
Clause 8.5 (d) Except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX, the Company must refuse to acknowledge a disposal (including registering a transfer) of restricted securities during the escrow period for those securities.
Clause 9.12 (h) A Member who holds restricted securities is not entitled to any voting rights in respect of those restricted securities during:
(i) a breach of the Listing Rules relating to those restricted securities; or
(ii) a breach of a restriction agreement.
By Resolution 6, the Company seeks Shareholder approval to delete the above clauses of the Constitution and replace them with a new clause, Clause 17:
Clause 17 Restricted Securities
While the Company is on the official list of ASX, the Company must recognise and comply with the Listing Rules with respect to Restricted Securities.
Without limiting the obligation to comply with the Listing Rules:
(a) a holder of Restricted Securities must not Dispose of, or agree or offer to Dispose of, the Restricted Securities during the escrow period applicable to those Restricted Securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX;
(b) if the Restricted Securities are in the same class as quoted securities, the holder will be taken to have agreed in writing that the Restricted Securities are to be kept on the Company’s issuer sponsored sub-register and are to have a holding lock applied for the duration of the escrow period applicable to those securities;
(c) the Company will refuse to acknowledge any Disposal (including, without limitation, to register any transfer), of Restricted Securities during the escrow period except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX;
(d) a holder of Restricted Securities will not be entitled to participate in any return of capital on those Restricted Securities during the escrow period applicable to those Restricted Securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX; and
(e) if a holder of Restricted Securities breaches a Restriction Deed or a provision of this Constitution restricting a Disposal of those Restricted Securities, the holder will not be entitled to any dividend or distribution, or to exercise any voting rights, in respect of those Restricted Securities for so long as the breach continues.
For the purposes of this clause 17, Dispose has the meaning given to it in the Listing Rules and Disposal has the corresponding meaning.’
8. RESOLUTION 7 – ADOPTION OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS PLAN
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval to adopt a directors and management performance rights plan (Performance Rights Plan).
The Company wishes to exempt issues of securities under the Performance Rights Plan from contributing towards the rolling annual limit of 15% of issued Shares prescribed by Listing Rule 7.1. This limit otherwise applies to all new issues of equity securities made without Shareholder approval. Shareholder approval of the Performance Rights Plan is therefore sought under Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)), whereby the Shareholders may approve in advance the issue of securities made under the Performance Rights Plan as an exception to the limit under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 7 is an ordinary resolution.
This is the first approval sought under Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) with respect to the Performance Rights Plan. No Performance Rights have previously been issued under the Performance Rights Plan and it has not previously been approved by Shareholders.
The objective of the Performance Rights Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key personnel. The Board considers that the adoption of the Performance Rights Plan and the future issue of Performance Rights under it, will provide selected personnel with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company and gives the directors flexibility in utilising the Plan for this purpose.
11
The Performance Rights Plan will further align the objectives of the Company and its personnel providing long term incentives linked to the performance of the Company.
A summary of the terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule B. In addition, copies of the Plan are available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
Pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules, Shareholders must re-approve the Plan and all unallocated Performance Rights issuable pursuant to it every three years.
Any future issues of Performance Rights under the Plan to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the Company or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained, will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
9. RESOLUTION 8, 9, 10 AND 11: GRANT OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS: MR GIANMARCO BIAGI, MR LORENZO BIAGI, MR BERT MONDELLO AND MR GIANMARCO ORGNONI
9.1 Background
In accordance with the Performance Rights Plan, the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue:
-
(a) 1,500,000 tranche 1 Performance Rights to each of Mr Gianmarco Biagi, Mr Lorenzo Biagi, Mr Bert Mondello and Mr Gianmarco Orgnoni (Tranche 1 Performance Rights); and
-
(b) 1,500,000 tranche 2 Performance Rights to each of Mr Gianmarco Biagi, Mr Lorenzo Biagi, Mr Bert Mondello and Mr Gianmarco Orgnoni (Tranche 2 Performance Rights); and
-
(c) 1,500,000 tranche 3 Performance Rights to each of Mr Gianmarco Biagi, Mr Lorenzo Biagi, Mr Bert Mondello and Mr Gianmarco Orgnoni (Tranche 3 Performance Rights),
on the terms and conditions set out below.
Under the terms of the Tranche 1 Performance Rights:
-
(i) 1,500,000 Tranche 1 Performance Rights will be granted to each of Mr Gianmarco Biagi, Mr Lorenzo Biagi, Mr Bert Mondello and Mr Gianmarco Orgnoni upon receipt of Shareholder approval; and
-
(ii) all of the Tranche 1 Performance Rights will vest on the date that the Company’s 14 day volume weighted average share price is equal to or exceeds $0.035 per share on trading on ASX.
Under the terms of the Tranche 2 Performance Rights:
-
(i) 1,500,000 Tranche 2 Performance Rights will be granted to each of Mr Gianmarco Biagi, Mr Lorenzo Biagi, Mr Bert Mondello and Mr Gianmarco Orgnoni upon receipt of Shareholder approval; and
-
(ii) all of the Tranche 1 Performance Rights will vest on the date that the Company’s 14 day volume weighted average share price is equal to or exceeds $0.045 per share on trading on ASX.
Under the terms of the Tranche 3 Performance Rights:
-
(i) 1,500,000 Tranche 3 Performance Rights will be granted to each of Mr Gianmarco Biagi, Mr Lorenzo Biagi, Mr Bert Mondello and Mr Gianmarco Orgnoni upon receipt of Shareholder approval; and
-
(ii) all of the Tranche 1 Performance Rights will vest on the date that the Company’s 14 day volume weighted average share price is equal to or exceeds $0.065 per share on trading on ASX.
9.2 Chapter 2E and ASX Listing Rule 10.14
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.
12
The issue of Performance Rights pursuant to the Plan constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Gianmarco Biagi, Mr Lorenzo Biagi, Mr Bert Mondello and Mr Gianmarco Orgnoni are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires Shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act apply in the current circumstances. Notwithstanding, the proposed issue of Performance Rights to the Related Parties requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14 because it will result in the Company issuing securities to a related party of the Company under an employee incentive scheme. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought pursuant ASX Listing Rule 10.14 (in accordance with the provisions of Listing Rule 10.15).
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Shares to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of Performance Rights to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Accordingly, the grant of Performance Rights to Mr Gianmarco Biagi, Mr Lorenzo Biagi, Mr Bert Mondello and Mr Gianmarco Orgnoni will not reduce the Company's 15% capacity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolutions 8 to 11 are ordinary resolutions.
9.3 Directors’ Recommendation
The Participating Directors, being Directors of the Company, have a material personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution, as it is proposed that Director Shares be allotted to them (or their nominee).
Each of Mr Gianmarco Biagi, Mr Lorenzo Biagi, Mr Bert Mondello and Mr Gianmarco Orgnoni, having a material personal interest in the Resolution, abstain and do not make any recommendations in respect of this Resolution.
9.4 Directors’ Interests
If each of the Directors is allotted with the Performance Rights as proposed and they are subsequently converted to ordinary shares, then the following will be the effect on the holding of each of the Directors in the Company:
| Adjusted | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current | Percentage | Director Rights | Shareholding | Percentage of | |

This assumes that none of the current options on issue in the Company are exercised and no further securities are issued. 2. This assumes that there are currently 655,594,533 shares on issue.
-
Indirect shareholding as a result of a relevant interest in VR Tech SRL which has a relevant interest in Officine8K, which is the registered holder of these securities. Both directors have the same interest in the same shareholding (293M total).

Mr D Hall has opted to not seek re-election at this AGM and retiring at the end of the Meeting, is not proposed to receive rights under this Resolution.

10. RESOLUTION 12: GRANT OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO ADVISOR
10.1 General
The Company proposes to grant a total of 4,500,000 Performance Rights to its key external corporate advisor Exchange Capital Advisory Pty Ltd for nil consideration and on the same performance milestones as set out in 9.1 above (Advisor Performance Rights). The full terms and conditions of the Performance Rights Plan are set out in Schedule B.
The Company proposes to grant 4,500,000 Advisor Performance Rights comprising:
-
1,500,000 Tranche 1 Performance Rights;
-
1,500,000 Tranche 2 Performance Rights; and
-
1,500,000 Tranche 3 Performance Rights.
The Board considers the use of performance rights as an incentivisation tool to its corporate advisors who have the experience, skills and knowledge in the fields of investor awareness and media dissemination to aid in the Company’s corporate objectives. In addition, the use of performance rights will allow the Company to retain its cash to maximise marketing and development expenditure for its products.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 broadly provides that a company can issue Equity Securities up to 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period without shareholder approval. Subject to certain exceptions, prior shareholder approval is required for any issue of Equity Securities where the securities proposed to be issued (when aggregated with other Equity Securities issued by the company not under an exception and not with shareholder approval) represent more than 15% of the company’s issued capital.
14
The effect of Shareholders approving Resolution 12 will be to allow the Company to issue the Advisor Performance Rights during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity. The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 12 will be to allow the Company to grant the Advisor Performance Rights without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 12 is an ordinary resolution.
10.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

-
(c) The Advisor Performance Rights will be granted for nil consideration and accordingly no funds will be raised from the issue of Advisor Performance Rights.
-
(d) The expiry date of the Advisor Performance Rights will be the date that is three years from the date of issue.
