EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.veem.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

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 most recent 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.

6

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.

3. RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – JOHN BRADLEY MIOCEVICH AND IAN HENRY BARSDEN

3.1 General

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

The Company currently has 4 Directors (excluding, for the purposes of calculating one third, the managing director) and accordingly 2 must retire.

Mr Miocevich and Mr Barsden retire by rotation and seek re-election.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Miocevich, a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, has been a Director of VEEM Ltd since 1983. Combining trade qualifications with a Commerce Degree in Finance and Banking, Mr Miocevich has the unique skills suitable for the management of an engineering company.

Taking on the role of Director Marine Propulsion in 2000, he has been the driving force in creating VEEM’s now very successful international propeller business. Mr Miocevich provided the vision for VEEM’s highly automated manufacturing processes making VEEM the benchmark of propeller manufacturing worldwide. Mr Miocevich brings to the Board expertise in finance, manufacturing engineering and marketing along with practical knowledge of the Company and its markets.

In the 3 years immediately before the end of the financial year, Mr Miocevich has not served as a Director of any other listed company.

Mr Barsden is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and is a former partner of HLB Mann Judd Accountants, Business and Financial Advisers (Perth division).

In the 3 years immediately before the end of the financial year, Mr Barsden has not served as a Director of any other listed company.

7

3.3 Independence

Mr Miocevich is not considered to be an independent director due to his substantial shareholding in the Company.

Mr Barsden is not considered to be an independent director due to his long history of providing accounting and financial advisory services to the VEEM.

3.4 Board recommendation

The Board supports the re-election of both Mr Miocevich and Mr Barsden and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2 and 3.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES UNDER LISTING RULE 7.1

4.1 Background

On 13 September 2021, the Company announced a capital raising for the issue to institutional and sophisticated investors of 5,084,746 Shares (Placement Shares) to raise a total of $6.0 million (the Placement).

The funds raised from the Placement will be used to fund research and development, sales and marketing to drive gyro sales growth and working capital. The Placement Shares were issued out of the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity on 16 September 2021.

4.2 General

Resolutions 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

4.3 Listing Rule 7.1

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any Equity Securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The Placement did not fall within any of the specified exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore was completed as part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.4 Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of Equity Securities made without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, provided the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of such ratification is to restore a company's maximum discretionary power to issue further securities up to the limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company confirms the issue of the Placement did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company wishes to ratify the issue of the Placement pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, in order to allow the Company to have the right to place up to a further 15% of its issued capital under Listing Rule 7.1. If Shareholders do not ratify the

8

Placement, the Company will be required to wait until the expiration of 12 months from the date of the Placement to restore the right to place the full 15% of its issued capital.

4.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.4

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5 in relation to Resolutions 1:

  • a) on 16 September 2021 the Company issued 5,084,746 Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1;

  • b) the Placement Shares were issued for $1.18 each, raising a total of $6,000,000 (before costs);

  • c) the Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares that rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares;

  • d) the Placement Shares were issued to institutional and sophisticated investors of Morgans Financial Limited, PAC Partners and CCZ Equities (the Brokers), none of whom were related parties of the Company. The selection of such investors was undertaken by the Brokers through a bookbuild process which involved seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement;

  • e) The funds raised from the Placement will be used to fund research and development, sales and marketing to drive gyro sales growth and working capital.

  • f) a voting exclusion statement for Resolutions 4 is included in the Notice.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS AND OPTIONS PLAN

5.1 General

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme entitled “Performance Rights and Options Plan” (Plan) and for the issue of Performance Rights and Options under the Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Performance Rights or Options under the Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the

9

meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Performance Rights and Options under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Performance Rights or Options to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of Performance Rights or Options stated in Section 5.2 (c) below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Performance Rights or Options under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights and Options under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of Performance Rights or Options will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Performance Rights.

5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:

  • a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Performance Rights Plan is set out in Schedule 1;

  • b) the Company issued 150,000 Performance Rights under the Plan on 14 July 2021. At the time of issue, the Plan did not have shareholder approval, hence the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Performance Rights is reduced by 150,000. No other Performance Rights or Options have been issued under the Plan;

  • c) the maximum number of Performance Rights or Options proposed to be issued under the Plan, following Shareholder approval, is 5,000,000. It is not envisaged that this maximum number of Performance Rights or Options for which approval is sought will be issued immediately; and

  • d) a voting exclusion statement for Resolutions 5 is included in the Notice.
