  • the proxy need not be a member of the Company; and

  • a member who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.

New sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date.

  • 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 the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); 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 (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 10.00am (WST) on Monday, 25 November 2019 at The University Club of Western Australia, Ground Floor, Seminar Room 2, Hackett Drive (Entrance #1), Crawley, Western Australia, 6009.

The 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 contained within 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 period from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019 together with the Directors’ declaration, 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.veris.com.au or on the ASX Platform for Veris Limited (ASX:VRS) at www.asx.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 Directors or the Company.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and Key Management Personnel of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2019.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of 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 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.

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. RESOLUTION 2 - RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR KARL PAGANIN

3.1 General Background

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

In determining the number of Directors to retire, no account is to be taken of:

  • (a) a Director who only holds office until the next annual general meeting pursuant to clause 13.4 of the Constitution; and/ or

  • (b) a Managing Director,

5

each of whom are exempt from retirement by rotation. However, if more than one Managing Director has been appointed by the Directors, only one of them (nominated by the Directors) is entitled to be excluded from any determination of the number of Directors to retire and/or retirement by rotation.

The Company currently has five (5) Directors (including the Managing Director) and accordingly one must retire.

Karl Paganin, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

Mr Paganin has over 15 years senior experience in Investment Banking, specialising in transaction structuring, equity capital markets, mergers and acquisitions and strategic management advice to listed companies. Mr Paganin was a Director of Major Projects and Senior Legal Counsel for Heytesbury Pty Ltd (the private trading company of the Holmes a Court Family) which was the proprietor of John Holland Group Pty Ltd. Mr Paganin holds degrees in Law (B.Juris, LLB) and Arts (BA) from the University of Western Australia and is a Non-Executive Director of ASX listed Southern Cross Electrical Engineering Limited.

Mr Paganin was first appointed as a director of the Company on 19 October 2015 and was most recently re-elected at the Company’s 2018 annual general meeting. The other Directors consider Mr Paganin to be an independent Director of the Company.

3.2 Directors Recommendation

The Board feels Mr Paganin’s vast experience in professional services compliments Veris’ strategy and the Board supports Mr Paganin’s re-election and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – EMPLOYEES OF ELTON CONSULTING

8. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF FUTURE ISSUE OF SHARES – BRIAN ELTON

8.1 General

As summarised in Section 4.1 above, in March 2018 the Company acquired Elton Consulting.

8

As set out in Section 6.1, part of the consideration for the acquisition of Elton Consulting included Performance Payments that were to become payable on the achievement of EBITDA performance targets during the two years post the acquisition. The second performance period ends in March 2020. The maximum Performance Payment payable to the vendors of Elton Consulting is up to $950,000, with up to 50% payable in Shares (the number of Shares to be determined based on a 30 day VWAP prior to the issue of the Shares). The maximum performance payment of $950,000 will be achieved if the EBITDA of Elton Consulting for the year ending March 2020 is $3,100,000 or more (unless otherwise varied in accordance with the terms of the Elton Acquisition agreement).

The terms of the acquisition (as subsequently amended), also included deferred payments payable 24 months post acquisition of up to $1,900,000 with up to 50% payable in Shares (the number of Shares to be determined based on a 30 day VWAP prior to the issue of the Shares) ( Deferred Payments ). The Deferred Payment will become payable in April 2020 to the vendors of Elton Consulting.

Brian Elton, a director of the Company, held 66% of the shares of Elton Consulting at the time of acquisition and accordingly is a vendor of Elton Consulting. As a director of the Company, Mr Elton is also a related party.

Mr Elton is eligible to receive up to 69.5% of the Shares to be issued under the second Performance Payment and the Deferred Payments. Accordingly, on or about 30 April 2020, Mr Elton may become eligible to receive up to $990,375 in Shares (being 50% of his maximum entitlement as a vendor of Elton Consulting in respect of the Performance Payment and the Deferred Payment) ( Brian Elton Vendor Shares ). The Deferred Payments payable to Mr Elton were negotiated prior to him becoming a director and the terms of which remain unchanged.

The number of Brian Elton Vendor Shares is dependent upon the Veris Share price at the time of issue (given that the number of Veris Shares to be issued will be calculated based on a 30 day VWAP prior to the date of issue of the Brian Elton Vendor Shares). The Company has determined it will cap the maximum number of Shares it will be issue to Mr Elton in respect of the Performance Payment and Deferred Payments to 17 million. . However, the number of Shares to be issued to Mr Elton will be less if the Veris Share price is higher at the time of issue. The Company confirms it will not issue more than 17 million Shares to satisfy the Performance Payment and Deferred Payment to Mr Elton regardless of the VWAP at the relevant time and in such situations where the VWAP is too low the Company will satisfy the relevant outstanding payments in cash.

The below table sets out worked examples of the maximum number of Shares that Veris will issue to Mr Elton in respect of the Performance Payment and Deferred Payments assuming varying 30 day VWAPs prior to the date of issue:

The Company is also seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of the maximum number of Shares that may be issued to the Unrelated Vendors of Elton Consulting pursuant to the second Performance Payment and the Deferred Payment. Such approval is being sought under Resolution 8 of this Notice (refer to Section 9 below).

8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

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.

The issue of the Brian Elton Vendor Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Brian Elton is a related party of the Company by virtue of being an Executive Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Elton who has a material personal interest in Resolution 7) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Brian Elton Vendor Shares as this forms part of the consideration contemplated by the Share Sale Agreement and is considered reasonable in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

9

8.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities 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.

As the grant of Brian Elton Vendor Shares involves the issue of securities to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Timing of Issue and Application for Waiver

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 sets out the requirements for shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. In particular, ASX Listing Rule 10.13.3 provides that the notice of meeting must (inter alia) state the date by which the entity will issue the securities and that the securities must be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the meeting or such later date as may be permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules.

As the issue of the Brian Elton Vendor Shares is not likely to occur until after March 2020, the Company has applied for a waiver from Listing Rule 10.12.3 to issue the Brian Elton Vendor Shares on or before 30 April 2020 (being outside of the one month from the date of this Meeting) ( Waiver ). If the Waiver is not granted the Company, may need to hold another general meeting prior to March 2020 for Shareholders approve the issue of Shares. Alternatively, the Company may need to satisfy the Performance Payments and Deferred Payments payable to Mr Elton in cash. The Company will announce the ASX decision in respect of the Waiver as soon as possible.

8.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 7:

  • (a) the Brian Elton Vendor Shares will be issued to Brian Elton (or his nominees);

  • (b) the maximum number of Brian Elton Vendor Shares to be issued will be 17 million Shares. The exact number of Shares to be issued to Mr Elton (or his nominee) will be announced by way of ASX announcement prior to the date of issue;

  • (c) subject to the grant of the Waiver, the Brian Elton Vendor Shares will be issued no later than 30 April 2020 (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules). If the Waiver is not received the Brian Elton Vendor Shares will need to be issued within 1 month from the date of the Meeting if the Company wishes to rely on the approval of Resolution 7. It is intended that issue of the Brian Elton Vendor Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (d) the Brian Elton Vendor Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration as part of the Performance Payment and Deferred Payments under the terms of the Elton Consulting acquisition, accordingly no funds will be raised; and

  • (e) the terms and conditions of the Brian Elton Vendor Shares will be on the same terms as the existing fully paid

  • ordinary shares on issue.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Brian Elton Vendor Shares as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Brian Elton Vendor Shares to Brian Elton (or his nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

8.5 Directors Recommendation

The Directors (other than Brian Elton) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7, as it reflect the terms agreed by the Company in consideration for Elton Consulting.

9. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF FUTURE ISSUE OF SHARES – ELTON CONSULTING UNRELATED VENDORS

9.1 General

As summarised in Section 4.1 above, in March 2018 the Company acquired Elton Consulting.

A summary of the Performance Payments and Deferred Payments is set out above at Sections 6.1 and 8.1.

The second Performance Payment and the Deferred Payment will become payable in April 2020 and 50% of these payments may be satisfied through the issue of Shares with a deemed issue price of the 30 day VWAP prior to the issue of the Shares).

The unrelated vendors of Elton Consulting ( Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendors ) are eligible to receive up to 30.5% of the Shares that may be issued in respect of the second Performance Payment and the Deferred Payments.

Accordingly, in April 2020, the Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendors may become eligible to receive up to $434,625 in Shares (being 50% of the maximum entitlement the Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendors will be entitled to in respect of the Performance Payment and the Deferred Payment) ( Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendor Shares ).

The number of Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendor Shares is dependent upon the Veris Share price at the time of issue (given that the number of Veris Shares to be issued will be calculated based on a 30 day VWAP prior to the date of issue of the shares). The Company has determined it will cap the maximum number of Shares it will be issue to the

10

Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendors in respect of the Performance Payment and Deferred Payment to 7.5 million. However, the number of Shares to be issued to the Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendors will be less if the Veris Share price is higher at the time of issue. The Company confirms it will not issue more than 7.5million Shares to satisfy the Performance Payment and Deferred Payment to the Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendors regardless of the VWAP and in such situation where the VWAP is too low the Company will satisfy the relevant outstanding payments in cash.

The below table sets out worked examples of the maximum number of Shares that Veris will issue to the Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendors in respect of the Performance Payment and Deferred Payments assuming different VWAPs:

9.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval with respect to the issue of up to 7 million Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendors Shares to the Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendors.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in section 4.2 above.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

By approving this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Timing of Issue and Application for Waiver

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 sets out the requirements for shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. In particular, ASX Listing Rule 7.3.2 provides that the notice of meeting must (inter alia) state the date by which the entity will issue the securities and that the securities must be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the meeting or such later date as may be permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules.

As the issue of the Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendor Shares is not likely to occur until after March 2020, the Company has applied for a waiver from Listing Rule 7.3.2 to issue the Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendor Shares on or before 30 April 2020 (being outside of the three months from the date of this Meeting) ( Waiver ). If the Waiver is not granted the Company, may need to hold another general meeting for Shareholders approve the issue of Shares to the Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendors prior to March 2020. Alternatively, the Company may need to satisfy the Performance Payments and Deferred Payments payable in cash. The Company will announce the ASX decision in respect of the Waiver as soon as possible.

9.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

  • (a) the Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendors Shares will be granted to the Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendors (or their nominees);

  • (f) the terms and conditions of the Elton Consulting Unrelated Vendors Shares will be on the same terms as the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.
