How to vote
Shareholders can vote by either:
-
attending the Meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate Shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or
-
appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the Proxy Form accompanying this Notice and by submitting their Proxy Form online, by mobile, by post or by facsimile.
Voting in person or by attorney
Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and their attendance recorded. A certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the original Power of Attorney, must be received by the Company in the same manner, and by the same time as outlined for proxy forms below.
Voting by a corporation
A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. Written proof of the representative’s appointment (including any authority under which it is signed) must be lodged with, or presented to the Company before the Meeting.
Voting by proxy
-
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.
-
The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).
-
A proxy need not be a Shareholder. The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.
-
If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit. However, where a Restricted Voter is appointed as a proxy, the proxy may only vote on Resolutions 1 and 2 if the proxy is the Chairman of the Meeting and 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 Key Management Personnel.
item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the Shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.
-
A Shareholder who returns their Proxy Form with a direction how to vote, but does not nominate the identity of their proxy, will be taken to have appointed the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a Proxy Form is returned with a direction how to vote, but the nominated proxy (who is not the Chairman of the Meeting) does not attend the Meeting or does not vote on the relevant Resolution(s), the Chairman of the Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions.
-
Proxy appointments in favour of the Chairman of the Meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used, where possible, to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions. These rules are explained in this Notice.
-
Proxies must be received by 11.30am (WST) on 28 January 2020 . Proxies received after this time will be invalid.

Explanatory Memorandum
This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting of the Company.
Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Memorandum. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations are set out in the Glossary to the Explanatory Memorandum.
Background to Resolutions 1 and 2
As announced by the Company to ASX on 28 November 2019, Mr James Clement has been appointed as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director and is expected to commence in this role in February 2020.
As noted in the announcement, as part of his remuneration package and subject to shareholder approval, the Company will issue Mr Clement 5,000,000 Performance Rights and 10,000,000 Incentive Options as performance incentives to align his interests with that of shareholders and the performance and success of the Company. The terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are set out in Annexure A and the terms and conditions of the Incentives Options are set out in Annexure B.
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek shareholder approval to issue the Performance Rights and Incentive Options to Mr Clement (or his nominees).
The grant of the Performance Rights and Incentive Options will encourage Mr Clement, as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, to have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company’s objectives and to provide an incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through Share ownership. Under the Company’s current circumstances, the Directors consider that the incentive intended for Mr Clement represented by the grant of 5,000,000 Performance Rights and 10,000,000 Incentive Options is a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide a reward and an incentive, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as the payment of additional cash compensation.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Clement. If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Incentive Options to Mr Clement. Under the employment agreement between the Company and Mr Clement, the appointment of Mr Clement as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director is not conditional on the issue of the Performance Rights and/or the Incentive Options. Therefore, the Company expects that Mr Clement will commence in this role even if Resolution 1 and/or 2 is not passed. However, as detailed above, the Company notes that a key objective of the proposed issue of the Performance Rights and Incentive Options to Mr Clement is to encourage Mr Clement, as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, to have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company’s objectives and to provide an incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through Share ownership. As such, if Resolution 1 and/or Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company may consider alternative means of incentivising Mr Clement to ensure this objective is met, which may potentially involve the Company convening a further meeting to seek approval for a restructured long term incentive package for Mr Clement.
The number of Performance Rights and the exercise price of the Incentive Options proposed to be granted to Mr Clement, subject to Shareholder approval, has been determined based upon a consideration of a number of factors including the critical role Mr Clement will play in the future operations of the Company and implementation of its growth strategy, the remuneration paid to CEO and Managing Directors of peer ASX listed companies, and the desire to attract someone of the calibre of Mr Clement to the Company.
As at the date of this Notice, Mr Clement has a relevant interest in 3,000,000 Shares in the Company.
Mr Clement's proposed total remuneration package as detailed in the 28 November 2019 announcement is as follows:
(a) Base Salary: $350,000 per annum inclusive of mandatory superannuation contributions
Vysarn Limited – Notice of General Meeting

-
(b) Short Term Incentive ( STI ): up to $100,000 per annum, subject to the achievement of specified STI key performance indicators; and
-
(c) Long Term Incentive ( LTI ): subject to shareholder approval the subject of Resolutions 1 and 2, 5,000,000 Performance Rights on the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure A and 10,000,000 Incentive Options on the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure B.
The Performance Rights are rights to acquire Shares in the Company subject to the satisfaction of specified performance conditions within specified performance periods. As detailed in Annexure A, the performance conditions of Mr Clement’s Performance Rights are tied to growth in the Company’s earnings per Share, which directly aligns his interests with that of shareholders and the performance and success of the Company.
The Incentive Options have an exercise price of $0.075 and expire 3 years from the date of issue. 5,000,000 Incentive Options vest when the Company’s 30 business days VWAP of Shares as traded on ASX reaches $0.085 ( Class A Options ) and 5,000,000 the Incentive Options vest when the Company’s 30 business days VWAP reaches $0.10 ( Class B Options ).
The Company has obtained an independent valuation of the Performance Rights and Incentive Options proposed to be issued to Mr Clement. Details of these valuations are provided in Annexure C. As detailed in this Annexure, the indicative value of each:
-
(a) Performance Right is nil, based on the assumption that the Performance Right hurdles will not be met. See further details in Annexure C;
-
(b) Class A Option (which is a theoretical valuation using the trinomial model) is $0.0127) and;
-
(c) Class B Option (which is a theoretical valuation using the trinomial model) is $0.0119.
The total financial benefit to be provided to Mr Clement under his remuneration package taking into account the theoretical valuations of the Performance Rights and Incentive Options is detailed below:
| Base Salary (inclusive of superannuation) |
Value of Performance rights |
Value of Incentive Options* |
Total financial benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| $350,000 | Nil | $123,000 | $473,000 |
If passed, Resolutions 1 and 2 will give the Directors power to grant a total of 5,000,000 Performance Rights on the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure A and 10,000,000 Incentive Options on the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure B.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has 297,658,248 Shares, 5,000,000 Performance Rights and 10,000,000 Options on issue.
If all Performance Rights proposed to be granted to Mr Clement as detailed are exercised, and assuming all existing Convertible Securities. have been exercised, the effect of the exercise of Mr Clements’s Performance Rights would be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders (including new shareholders as a result of the existing Options and Performance Rights being exercised) by 1.6%.
If all Incentive Options proposed to be granted to Mr Clement as detailed above are exercised, and assuming all existing Convertible Securities on issue have been exercised, the effect of the exercise of the Incentive Options would be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders (including new shareholders as a result of the existing Options and Performance Rights being exercised) by 3.1%. The market price of the Company’s Shares during the period of the Incentive Options will normally determine whether or not the Incentive Options are exercised. At the time any Incentive Options are exercised and Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise, the Company’s Shares may be trading at a price which is higher than the exercise price of the Incentive Options. The Incentive Options will not be quoted on ASX.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of a public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.
Mr Clement is a proposed Director of the Company. As such, for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, Mr Clement is a related party of the Company. The grant of the Performance Rights and Incentive Options is a financial benefit.
One of the nominated exceptions referred to in paragraph (a) above is where the financial benefit is remuneration to a related party as an officer or employee of the company, and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given the circumstances of the public company, and the related party’s circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment). The Board has determined that the proposed grant of the Performance Rights and the Incentive Options to Mr Clement is a benefit that constitutes reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is not being sought for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act but is being sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 and sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act as discussed below.
Resolution 1 – Approval to issue Performance Rights to Mr James Clement
Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.13
As noted above, the Company is proposing to issue 5,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr James Clement.
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, Mr Clement is a related party of the Company as he is a proposed director of the Company. The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to issue 5,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr Clement for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

Sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Acts
The Corporations Act restricts the benefits which can be given to certain persons (those who hold a managerial or executive office, as defined in the Corporations Act) on leaving their employment with the Company or a related body corporate (the Group ). Under Section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with their ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office (as defined in the Corporations Act) in the Group if it is approved by shareholders or an exemption applies.
The provisions of the Corporations Act relating to termination benefits apply to a director. Additionally, persons subject to the restrictions remain subject to them for at least three years after they cease to hold a managerial or executive officer.
Under the termination benefits laws, the term “benefit” has a wide operation and includes automatic or accelerated vesting of share-based payments for a person or the exercise of a discretion to allow a person to maintain a benefit

they would not otherwise be entitled to retain on, or as a result of, retirement from their position as a director of the company.
The terms of the Performance Rights give the Board the discretion to permit Mr Clement to continue to hold the Performance Rights even if he ceases to be employed by the Company ( Potential Retirement Benefit ). The Board has formed the view that the Potential Retirement Benefit may constitute a benefit for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act. Shareholder approval is therefore being sought under sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act for any Potential Retirement Benefit granted to Mr Clement so that the value of the Potential Retirement Benefit will be disregarded when calculating the cap for the purposes of calculating the permissible termination benefits payable under the Corporations Act.
Section 200E of the Corporations Act requires the following information to be provided to Shareholders in approving a potential termination benefit as follows:
| Details of the Potential Retirement Benefit |
The terms of the Performance Rights give the Board the discretion to permit Mr Clement to continue to hold the Performance Rights even if he ceases to be employed by the Company in circumstances other than death or total and permanent disability, bona fide redundancy, bona fide retirement or removal from a position of managerial or executive office. For example, if Mr Clement ceases to be an employee because his employment was terminated for cause, this would ordinarily result in all Performance Rights lapsing. However, Performance Right terms give the Board discretion to waive or amend this provision such that Mr Clement continues to hold some or all of those Performance Rights. |
|---|---|
| Value of the Potential Retirement Benefit |
The value of the potential termination benefits cannot be quantified at this point, as the manner in which the value is calculated depends on various matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to, affect the calculation of the value. Specifically, the value of a particular benefit will depend on factors such as the Company's Share price at the time and the number and value of the Performance Rights held byMr Clements at that time. |
| Voting exclusion statement |
A voting exclusion statement has been included in the Notice in relation to Resolution 1. |
Resolution 2 – Approval to issue Incentive Options to Mr James Clement
Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.13
As noted above, the Company is proposing to issue 10,000,000 Incentive Options to Mr James Clement.
A description of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out above in relation to Resolution 1 on page 3 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, Mr Clement is a related party of the Company as he is a proposed director of the Company. The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of the Company's shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to issue 10,000,000 Incentive Options to Mr Clement for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Annexure C – Performance Rights and Incentive Option Valuations
Performance Rights Valuation
The independent valuer has valued the Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Clement to be nil. In reaching this valuation, the valuer requested probabilities for the likelihood of the Performance Rights hurdles being met and were informed by the Company that it is assumed the hurdles will not be met. However the valuer has noted that in the event the performance hurdles for the Performance Rights are met, the value of the Performance Rights at that time would be the Share price of the Company at that time. In valuing the Performance Rights, the valuer used the following assumptions:
-
(a) Valuation Date : 13 December 2019.
-
(b) Spot Price : $0.067 being the closing Share price on the day prior to the Valuation Date.
-
(c) Issue Date : as this has not been determined yet, the valuer assumed the Performance Rights would be issued on the Valuation Date.
-
(d) Volatility : 39% which is based on the historical and recent trading patterns of the Company.
-
(e) Risk Free Rate : 0.7% which is based on the yields of Commonwealth bonds using the period which most closely corresponds to the maximum life of the Performance Rights. The interest rates are measured as the closing rate on the business day prior to the Valuation Date, with rates disclosed by the Reserve Bank of Australia.
-
(f) Dividend Yield : the Company has advised the valuer that it does not expect to pay a dividend within the period of the Performance Rights.
-
(g) Employee Exit : 16% annual employee exit rate, which is based on research conducted in MCSI’s “Entrenched Board” study conducted in 2015 which reported that the annual director tenure within Australian ASX listed companies is 6.2 years which equates to 16% per annum.
Incentive Options Valuation
The independent valuer has valued the Incentive Options to be issued to Mr Clement using the trinomial model, which is a theoretical option pricing model, and valued the Class A Options to be $0.0127 each and the Class B Options to be $0.0119 each.
In valuing the Incentive Options, the valuer used the following assumptions:
-
(a) Valuation Date : 13 December 2019.
-
(b) Spot Price : $0.067 being the closing Share price on the day prior to the Valuation Date.
-
(c) Issue Date : as this has not been determined yet, the valuer assumed the Performance Rights would be issued on the Valuation Date.
-
(d) Volatility : 39% which is based on the historical and recent trading patterns of the Company.
-
(e) Risk Free Rate : 0.7% which is based on the yields of Commonwealth bonds using the period which most closely corresponds to the maximum life of the Performance Rights. The interest rates are measured as the closing rate on the business day prior to the Valuation Date, with rates disclosed by the Reserve Bank of Australia.
-
(f) Dividend Yield : the Company has advised the valuer that it does not expect to pay a dividend within the period of the Performance Rights.
-
(g) Employee Exit : 16% annual employee exit rate, which is based on research conducted in MCSI’s “Entrenched Board” study conducted in 2015 which reported that the annual director tenure within Australian ASX listed companies is 6.2 years which equates to 16% per annum.
