Effect of amendments to the Corporations Act on proxy voting
Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that recent amendments to the Corporations Act (which took effect on 1 July 2011) apply to voting by proxy. Broadly, the changes mean that if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and any directed proxies that are not voted will automatically default to the chairperson of the meeting, who must vote the proxies as directed. More detail on these recent changes is provided below.
Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote
Section 250BB provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:
-
the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed);
-
if the proxy has two or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands;
-
if the proxy is the chairperson 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 chairperson of the meeting – 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-chairperson proxy to chairperson in certain circumstances
Section 250BC 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;
-
the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting;
-
at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and
-
either of the following applies:
-
if a record of attendance is made for the meeting - the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;
-
othe proxy does not vote on the resolution, -
the chairperson 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.
If a proxy is also a Shareholder, Section 250BB does not affect the way the person can cast any votes they hold as a Shareholder.
Voting prohibitions under Section 250BD of the Corporations Act – Proxy voting by KMP or closely related parties
Under Section 250BD(1) of the Corporations Act, a person appointed as proxy must not vote, on the basis of that appointment, as a proxy on a resolution connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP for the Company if:
-
(a) the person is either:
-
(i) a member of the KMP for the Company; or
-
(ii) a closely related party of a member of the KMP for the Company; and
-
(b) the appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution.
However, Section 250BD(1) does not apply if:
-
(a) the person is the chairman of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on; and
-
(b) the appointment expressly authorises the chairman to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP for the Company.
Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 are resolutions which are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP for the Company.

RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
The Remuneration Report is required to be considered for adoption in accordance with section 250R of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, the Board submits its Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2014 for consideration and adoption by Shareholders.
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 report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2014, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at www.incrementaloilandgas.com.
The Remuneration Report:
-
describes the policies behind, and the structure of, the remuneration arrangements of the Company and link between the remuneration of Key Management Personnel and the Company’s performance; and
-
sets out the remuneration arrangements in place for each Director and for the Managing Director and other Key Management Personnel.
A reasonable opportunity will be given for the discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is a non-binding resolution. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.
NOTICE OF MEETING
- 5 -
==> picture [158 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Under the Corporations Act, if 25 per cent or more of 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 the Managing Director) must go up for re-election. It is noted that at the Company’s last annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report represented less than 25 per cent of the total votes cast and accordingly, a spill resolution will not under any circumstances be required for the Annual General Meeting.
A voting prohibition applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting.
RESOLUTION 2: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR (MR. GERRY McGANN)
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 to the nearest whole number), 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 is eligible for re-election.
The Company currently has three Directors (excluding the Managing Director) and accordingly one must retire. Mr. Gerry McGann has agreed to retire by rotation in accordance with the Constitution and seeks re-election.
The profile of Mr. McGann is set out below.
Mr McGann has over 40 years’ experience in the upstream oil and gas industry, in a career that has spanned all five continents. As a petroleum geologist, he has been instrumental in the discovery of oilfields totalling more than 200 million barrels in Australia, Middle East and the North Sea, and been part of teams that have discovered other substantially oil resources. As Exploration Manager for Occidental Petroleum, Mr McGann was responsible for increasing production from 32,000 bopd to 52,000 bopd in 3 years in Oman. Mr McGann was one of only seven exploration managers in Occidental Petroleum, and one of only four Chief Scientists in Baker Hughes (approximately 30,000 employees).
Mr McGann was a founding shareholder and Managing Director of Incremental Petroleum Ltd. He identified the Selmo Oilfield in South-east Turkey in 2005, and increased the production from a declining 1,500 bopd to 2,000 bopd when the company was sold in March 2009.
Mr McGann has taught Petroleum Geology at degree and post-degree level at Curtin University for seven years. He was the president of three chapters of the Society of Petro Physicists and Well Log Analysts (SPWLA) and has been an invited speaker to SPWLA and the Society of Exploration Geophysicists annual conventions. He has published 14 technical papers and is a certified petroleum geologist.
Other current appointments in addition to Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd are: None
The Board (with Mr. McGann abstaining) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
RESOLUTION 3: ISSUE OF SHARES TO A DIRECTOR (MR JOHN WHISLER)
The Company proposes to issue 884,100 shares Trinity Management Group Pty Ltd as trustee for the Incremental Oil and Gas Ltd Employee Share Trust for the benefit of Mr. John Whisler, Managing Director, as part of his remuneration package as Managing Director. The Shares will be issued to the Trustee as part of Mr Whisler’s remuneration (details below) and will be held by the Trustee on behalf of Mr Whisler until various performance conditions have been met.
Mr Whilser’s is entitled to receive shares equivalent to 10% of his annual salary in shares under his employment contract. To determine the number of shares to be issued, the Board has considered the net asset backing value per share at 31 December 2014 as a benchmark rate (A$0.0414). The share price of the Company’s shares at 31 December 2014 was A$0.034.
Listing Rule 10.11 permits a Director to be issued new Equity Securities of the Company if Shareholder approval is obtained. Under Listing Rule 10.11, the Company must obtain the approval of its Shareholders by ordinary resolution before it can issue Equity Securities to a Related Party or a person whose relationship with the Company or Related Party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that Shareholder approval should be obtained.
NOTICE OF MEETING
- 6 -
==> picture [158 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Mr. Whisler, as Managing Director, is a Related Party of the Company in accordance with section 228 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, the proposed issue of 884,100 shares to Mr. Whisler requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.
Further, Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue, or agree to issue, during any 12 month period any Equity Securities if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. Shares issued under this Resolution would fall within an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
One of the effects of the Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue the 884,100 Shares without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity.
The Employee Share Trust – How it works
The Company has set up the Trust through third party service provider Remuneration Strategies Group Pty Ltd (” RSG ”), to facilitate the distribution of Shares to its employees as part of their remuneration package. The Trustee of the Trust is Trinity Management Group Pty Ltd (which is RSG’s employee share plan administration company) and its role is to hold relevant Shares on behalf of Company employees until performance conditions have been met and those employees are entitled to receive the benefit of the Shares. The Trustee must act in accordance with the Board’s instructions.
Once performance conditions have been met by the employee, the employee can either request that the Shares be transferred to them or instruct the Trustee to sell their Shares on-market and be given the net sale proceeds.
If an employee ceases employment with the Company, any Shares which an employee is entitled to have transferred to it by the Trustee will immediately be transferred to the employee.
Employees who do not meet their performance conditions will not be entitled to the benefit of any applicable Shares held by the Trustee.

-
(a) The number of Shares to be issued is 884,100.

The independent Board (being those Directors other than Mr. Whisler) has determined that the issue of 884,100 Shares to Mr. Whisler as part of his remuneration package is reasonable and accordingly, approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required for this Resolution.
A voting prohibition applies to Resolution 3 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting.
The Board (with Mr. Whisler abstaining) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
