Explanatory Notes to Notice of Annual General Meeting

This explanatory memorandum has been prepared to assist members with their consideration of the resolutions to be put to the Annual General Meeting to be held on 12 November 2010. These explanatory notes should be read with, and form part of, the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Ordinary business

Item 2: Election of directors

Background

Clause 13.5 of the Company's constitution requires one third of the directors (excluding the Managing Director) to retire at each Annual General Meeting. Any Director who retires in accordance with clause 13.5 is eligible for re-election at the Annual General Meeting. If more than 1 Director is required to retire by rotation, the Directors with the longest time in office since their last election must retire. There are four Directors who are subject to the rotation provisions, namely Messrs Lim, Leong, Millard and KH Sim. One of these directors must retire and the longest serving director is Mr KH Sim. Mr KH Sim offers himself for re-election and, being eligible, seeks re-election as director of the Company.

Clause 13.9 of the Company’s constitution stipulates that the directors have power at any time to appoint any person to be a director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing directors. The director will hold office until the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company when the director may be re-elected but will not be taken into account in determining the number of directors who must retire by rotation. The directors must not make an appointment so that the total number of directors at any time exceeds the maximum number fixed in accordance with this constitution. Mr SP Sze was appointed to the board on 19 February 2010 after the last annual general meeting. As a result, Mr SP Sze retires in accordance with clause 13.9 of the Company’s constitution and, being eligible, seeks re-election as director of the Company.

Mr Kok Hwee Sim

Mr KH Sim was first appointed to the Board as an alternate director on 24 July 2006 and was made a full director on 21 November 2007. Mr KH Sim’s responsibilities for various corporate development work including restructuring, acquisitions, valuation of businesses and intangibles have been expanded to include management of the Group’s subsidiary company, Zicom Private Limited as well as implement the Group’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to integrate the Group’s operations. On 5 July 2010, Mr KH Sim was re-designated as Executive Director, in line with his expanded role in the Group.

Mr KH Sim, Son of the Chairman and Managing Director, Mr GL Sim and director of substantial shareholder, SNS Holdings Pte Ltd, graduated with a Bachelors degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering (magna cum laude) from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2002 and a Masters degree in Financial Engineering from Columbia University, New York in 2004.

The Directors (with Mr KH Sim abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution.

Mr Shaw Pao Sze

Mr SP Sze was appointed to the board on 19 February 2010. Mr SP Sze holds a Master Foreign-Going Certificate of Competency and has extensive experiences in maritime industry from managing liner and ship chartering services and corporate planning in one of the world’s largest shipping lines and in consultancy services for transport engineering, maritime and logistics planning for infrastructure projects.

The Directors (with Mr SP Sze abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution.

Item 3: Remuneration report

A remuneration report is included as part of the annual report provided to shareholders. That report:

  • sets out details of remuneration received by the directors, the highest paid Company executives and the five highest paid executives in the consolidated group; and

  • describes the Company's remuneration policy and performance conditions.

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, the Company is required to put the remuneration report to a vote by members at the AGM. The vote on the resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

While there is no legal requirement to abstain from voting, the Board believes it is appropriate that none of the Directors, the named executives or their associates should vote on the remuneration resolution, except as directed by any proxies.

The Directors recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution.

Special business

Item 4 : Partial payment of performance bonus to Messrs Giok Lak Sim and Kok Hwee Sim in shares of the Company

In accordance with the terms of their service agreements, Messrs GL Sim and KH Sim are entitled to convert part of their performance bonus up to no more than 50% of the amount payable into the Company’s shares at the average of the closing prices of the last 5 trading days before the end of the relevant financial year. Such entitlement must be exercised within 7 working days after the financial year end.

Both Messrs GL Sim and KH Sim have elected to convert 50% of their performance bonus into shares (“Shares”) in ZGL, fully paid at A$0.13 per share, which was the average closing prices of the last 5 trading days before 30 June 2010 amounting to S$262,500 and S$55,000 respectively. Such shares shall rank pari passu with the ordinary existing shares of the Company. No funds will be raised from the issue of these shares.

Opportunity costs

  • i) Dilution of capital

The number of new Shares to be issued to Messrs GL Sim and KH Sim will be arrived at by first converting their respective amount of bonus payable in shares into Australian dollars using the spot exchange rate ruling at the date of allotment of Shares and thereafter dividing it by A$0.13.

If resolutions 4 and 5 are approved, based on the current A$ to S$ exchange rate of 1.28, the hypothetical additional Shares to be issued will approximate 1,908,052 which represents 0.90% of total shares in the Company. The capital structure of the Company will be as follows:

will be as follows:
Existing Capital
Structure
Revised Capital Structure (if
Resolutions 4 and 5 are
approved)
No of Ordinary shares 209,719,679 211,627,731

7

Item 4 : Partial payment of performance bonus to Messrs Giok Lak Sim and Kok Hwee Sim in shares of the Company (cont’d)

  • ii) Foregone capital inflow

To issue new Shares at A$0.13 each may result in capital forgone by the Company to the extent that the market price of the Company’s securities exceeds the issue price of A$0.13 on the day of allotment of the Shares by the Company.

Listing Rule 10.11

Since approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11, accordingly, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Taxation

As far as the Company is aware, there is no adverse taxation consequence to the Company arising from the proposed issue of shares.

Proposed date of issue of shares

If the proposed resolutions are passed, the Company will issue the Shares to Messrs Giok Lak Sim and Kok Hwee Sim within one week after the resolutions are passed.

Other information

There is no other information known to the Company or any of its Directors that is reasonably required by shareholders in order to decide whether or not it is in the Company’s interest to pass the proposed resolutions that is not contained in this notice of meeting and explanatory statement.

Recommendation

The Directors (with Messrs GL Sim and KH Sim abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of Resolutions 4 & 5.

Item 5: Grant of Options under Zicom Employee Share and Option Plan

Resolutions 6-11 – Approval of grant of options to related parties

Remuneration policy

The Company’s remuneration policy is set out in detail in the 2010 Annual Report lodged with ASX on 30 September 2010.

In summary, the objective of the policy is to ensure that Directors’ and executives’ remuneration is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The remuneration of the Managing Director is reviewed annually by the Board through a process that considers individual key performance indicators and the overall performance of the Company. Fees and payments to other executive and non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of those Directors and their contribution towards the performance of the Company. The Board considers that there should be an appropriate mix of remuneration comprising cash and securities for all Directors to link the remuneration of the Directors to the financial performance of the Company.

The Directors consider this remuneration policy to be a sensible and balanced policy which aligns the interests of shareholders and all Directors.

Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of options to Directors.

Corporation Act and Listing Rules requirements

Section 208 of the Corporations Act (Act) provides that the Company must not give a financial benefit to a related party except under certain circumstances including, where the benefit is “reasonable remuneration” or circumstances in which the shareholders approve the giving of the financial benefit.

8

Item 5: Grant of Options under Zicom Employee Share and Option Plan (cont’d)

The Directors consider that the proposed grant of Options is reasonable remuneration for each proposed grantee and in accordance with the Company’s remuneration policy. However, as the Managing Director is the only Director without a material personal interest in the proposed grants, there is no independent quorum to resolve that those Options constitute reasonable remuneration and to approve the grant.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a listed company must not issue or agree to issue any equity securities (which include options over unissued Shares) to a related party without the approval of shareholders.

Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought under section 208 of the Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the proposed grant of Options to Directors, other than the Managing Director.

Section 219 information

In accordance with section 219 of the Act, the Directors provide the following information:

Related parties

The related parties to whom the proposed resolutions would permit the financial benefit to be given are the Directors of the Company (other than the Managing Director), namely, Mr Yian Poh Lim, Mr Frank Leong Yee Yew, Mr Ian Robert Millard, Mr Shaw Pao Sze, Mr Kok Hwee Sim and Mr Kok Yew Sim.

Nature of financial benefit

The nature of the proposed financial benefit to be given is the grant of the following unlisted options to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on the terms and conditions set out in this explanatory statement:

out in this explanatory statement:
Name of Related Party Number of Options to be granted
Mr Yian Poh Lim 50,000
Mr Frank Leong Yee Yew 50,000
Mr Ian Robert Millard 50,000
Mr Shaw Pao Sze 30,000
Mr Kok Hwee Sim 200,000
Mr Kok Yew Sim 200,000
Total 580,000

Opportunity costs

(i) Dilution of capital

If all options granted to the related parties were exercised, the capital structure of the Company will be as follows:

Existing Capital After Grant of After Grant of Options
Structure Options (if resolutions 4 & 5 were
approved)
Ordinary shares 209,719,679 209,719,679 211,627,731
Fully diluted 209,719,679 210,299,679 212,207,731

Until exercised, the grant of the Options will not impact on the number of ordinary shares on issue in the Company. But if all Options of the related parties were exercised, an additional 580,000 Shares would be issued representing approximately 0.276% of all Shares and approximately 0.273% if the issue of Shares under resolutions 4 and 5 are approved.

9

Item 5: Grant of Options under Zicom Employee Share and Option Plan (cont’d)

  • (ii) Foregone capital inflow

The rights of Option holders to subscribe, and the obligation of the Company to issue, Shares at an exercise (issue) price of A$0.18 each may result in capital foregone by the Company to the extent that the market price of the Company’s securities exceeds the issue price of the Shares under the Options on the day of allotment of the Shares by the Company.

Value of benefit

The Options will not be admitted to quotation on ASX and accordingly have no readily identifiable market value.

As a result, the Directors used the Hull-White trinomial lattice model to value the Options. For the purpose of this Notice, the value of Options using the Hull-White trinomial lattice model approximates A$0.098 each (A$57,060 in total). Lattice models are based on the same underlying option pricing theory as the Black-Scholes model but they extend Black-Scholes by taking into account the impact of events – such as early exercise of options or exit rates after vesting – which occur during the term of option. This model is a function of the relationship between a number of variables principally being the share price, the option exercise price, the time to expiry, the risk free interest rate and the volatility of the Company’s underlying share price.

The application of the model therefore requires a number of inputs, some of which must be assumed. The material assumptions used in the model were:

  • Average share price of the Company from 21 to 27 September 2010 of A$0.21

  • Exercise price of the Options is A$0.18 each

  • Expiry date of Options is 14 November 2015

  • Risk free rate is 4.50%

  • A volatility factor of 78.94%. This measure was determined having regard to the low and high values of the Company shares traded on ASX for the period from 1 July 2007 to 27 September 2010.

Related parties’ remuneration and interests in shares and options

The details of related parties’ remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2010 and interests in shares and options held by the related parties as at 30 June 2010 are included in the 2010 ZGL Annual Report, a copy of which is lodged with ASX on 30 September 2010.

Use of funds

No funds will be raised from the issue of the Options as they will be issued to the Directors for no consideration.

All funds received from the exercise of the Options will be applied towards the working capital and cash requirements of the Company the time of the exercise of the Options.

Proposed date of issue of the options

If the proposed resolutions are passed, the Company will issue the Options to the Directors as soon as practicable and in any event not later than one month after the resolution is passed. The Options will vest in accordance with the below terms.

10

Item 5: Grant of Options under Zicom Employee Share and Option Plan (cont’d)

Option terms

  1. Each Option entitles the holder, on exercise and payment of the exercise price in accordance with these terms, to one fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company.

  2. The Options shall expire at 5.00 pm Brisbane time on 14 November 2015 (“Expiry Date”).

  3. 50% of each related party's Options will vest on 15 November 2011, and the remaining 50% of the Options will vest on 15 November 2012 (“Vesting Dates”).

  4. Each Option is exercisable at a price of A$0.18 (“Exercise Price”) at any time after the applicable Vesting Date and prior to the Expiry Date.

  5. The Options will not be admitted to quotation on ASX and are not transferable.

  6. In the event that a related party ceases to be a Director or otherwise employed by the Company, all of that related party's unexercised Options, whether vested or unvested, will be forfeited for no consideration.

  7. All Shares to be allotted pursuant to the exercise of Options will be allotted within 10 business days of exercise of the Options and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s then existing fully paid ordinary shares. Subject to the securities of the Company being listed on ASX and to any restrictions imposed on the Options or Shares issued upon exercise of the Options under the ASX Listing Rules, the Company will apply for official quotation by ASX of all Shares issued upon exercise of the Options on or before the third ASX trading day after the date of allotment of the Shares.

  8. A certificate will be issued for the Options. Exercise of the Options is effected by completing the notice of exercise of the Options on the reverse side of the option certificate and surrendering the certificate to the Company together with the required Exercise Price. If there is more than one Option on a certificate and prior to the Expiry Date those Options are exercised in part, the Company will issue another certificate for the balance of the Options held and not yet exercised.

  9. There are no participating rights or entitlement inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least six business days after the issue is announced. This will give Option holders the opportunity to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  10. If the Company makes an issue of ordinary shares pro rata to existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu of in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the Exercise Price of the Option will be reduced according to the following formula:

New exercise price = O – E[P-(S+D)] N + 1

O = the old exercise price of the Option.

  • E = the number of underlying Shares into which one Option is exercisable.

  • P = the average market price per Shares (weighted by reference to volume) of the underlying shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.

  • S = the subscription price of a Share under the pro rata issue.

  • D = the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying Shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue).

  • N = the number of Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new Share.

11

Item 5: Grant of Options under Zicom Employee Share and Option Plan (cont’d)

  1. In the event of any reconstruction (including a consolidation sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, the number of Options or the exercise price of the Options or both shall be reconstructed (as appropriate) in the manner required by the ASX Listing Rules. In such event the Company has the power to vary the number of Options or the exercise price of the Options or the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options or any all of these as the Directors reasonably consider necessary solely in order to comply with the ASX Listing Rules. This compliance with the ASX Listing Rules will be applied whether the securities of the Company are listed or not on ASX.

  2. In the event of any merger or acquisition of the Company, the Company has the power to cancel all Options that have not been exercised.

  3. Words and expressions in these terms and conditions of grant which are used in the ASX Listing Rules have the same meanings given to them in the ASX Listing Rules.

Listing Rule 10.11

Since approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11, accordingly, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Taxation

As far as the Company is aware, there are no adverse taxation consequences to the Company arising from the proposed grant of the Options.

Other information

There is no other information known to the Company or any of its Directors that is reasonably required by shareholders in order to decide whether or not it is in the Company’s interest to pass the proposed resolutions that is not contained in this notice of meeting and explanatory statement.

Recommendations
