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 13 November 2012. These explanatory notes should be read with, and form part of, the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Ordinary business

Item 1: Financial statements and Reports

The first item of the Notice of Annual General Meeting deals with the presentation of consolidated financial report of the Company, the Directors’ Report and the Auditor’s Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2012. Shareholders are invited to consider these reports and seek explanation, if required, from the Directors when this item is being considered.

No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.

Item 2: Re-election of Director

Resolution 1 - Re-election of Mr Ian Robert Millard as a Director

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. If their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest but not exceeding one-third shall retire from office by rotation. Any Director who retires in accordance with clause 13.5 is eligible for re-election at the Annual General Meeting. There are five Directors who are subject to the rotation provisions, namely Messrs Lim, Leong, Millard, KH Sim and Sze. One of these directors must retire and the longest serving director is Mr Millard. Mr Millard offers himself for re-election and, being eligible, seeks re-election as director of the Company.

Mr Ian Robert Millard

Mr Millard is the current Chairman of the Board’s Audit Committee and from 2001 until November 2007 was a Company Secretary. He has been a freelance consultant providing accounting and corporate advisory services since 1999. He was a Partner of two major accounting firms for approximately 31 years before he retired from the accounting practice in 1999. He was previously in charge of a business services division of the two accounting firms which involved general accounting, taxation and corporate administration functions. He has been a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Australia since 1964 and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors since 1995. He is also an Honorary Life Member of the Australian Mining and Petroleum Law Association.

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

Item 3 : Remuneration Report

Resolution 2 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that a resolution be put to the shareholders that the Remuneration Report be adopted at the annual general meeting (“AGM”) of a listed company. A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the meeting. The resolution is advisory only and does not bind 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 2012 Annual Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012.

Under the recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if 25% or more of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all the Company’s Directors other than the Managing Director stand for reelection.

6

At the Company’s 2011 AGM, less than 25% of the votes cast were against the Remuneration Report. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this AGM.

Voting Exclusion

Please note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 2 as set out in the Notice of Meeting. In particular, Key Management personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chair and expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel. The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this Resolution.

Item 4: Payment of Performance Bonus in Shares

Resolutions 3 to 5: Partial Payment of performance bonus to Messrs Giok Lak Sim, Kok Hwee Sim and Kok Yew Sim in shares of the Company.

Background

In accordance with the terms of their service agreements, Messrs GL Sim, KH Sim and KY 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.

Messrs GL Sim, KH Sim and KY Sim have elected to convert 50%, 35% and 25% amounting to S$175,000, S$38,500 and S$53,125 of their performance bonus into fully paid ordinary shares (“Shares”) in the Company respectively.

The share will be issued at A$0.155 which was the average closing prices of the last 5 trading days before 30 June 2012. The Shares will rank pari passu with the ordinary existing shares of the Company. No funds will be raised from the issue of these shares as shares are being issued in lieu of cash payment of performance bonus.

Regulatory 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.

The Directors consider that the proposed grant of Shares is reasonable remuneration for each proposed grantee and in accordance with the Company’s remuneration policy.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a listed company must not issue or agree to issue any shares to a related party without the approval of shareholders.

Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the proposed grant of Shares to Executive Directors and so that approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Opportunity costs

  • i) Dilution of capital

The maximum number of Shares to be issued to Messrs GL Sim, KH Sim and KY Sim will be arrived at by first converting their respective amount of bonus payable into Australian dollars using the spot exchange rate as published in The Straits Times, an English-language daily newspaper in Singapore, at the date of allotment of Shares and thereafter dividing it by A$0.155.

If resolutions 3, 4 and 5 are approved, based on the current A$ to S$ exchange rate of 1.259, the hypothetical additional Shares to be issued will approximate 1,366,292 which represents 0.64% of total shares in the Company. The capital structure of the Company will be as follows:

Existing Capital
Structure
Revised Capital Structure (if Resolutions
3, 4 and 5 are approved)
No. of Ordinary shares 212,451,587 213,817,879

7

ii) Foregone capital inflow

To issue new Shares at A$0.155 each may result in capital forgone by the Company to the extent that the market price of the Company’s share exceeds the issue price of A$0.155 on the day of allotment of the Shares by the Company.

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, Kok Hwee Sim and Kok Yew Sim within 10 days 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.

A voting exclusion applies in relation to Resolutions 3 to 5 (see notes to Resolutions 3 to 5 in the accompanying Notice of Meeting).

The Directors (with Messrs GL Sim, KH Sim and KY Sim abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of resolutions 3 to 5.

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

Background

The Company is seeking shareholder approval for the grant of 80,000 options each to Messrs Kok Hwee Sim and Kok Yew Sim under Listing Rule 10.14.

Employee Share and Option Plan

The options are proposed to be granted on the terms and conditions of the Company's Share and Option Plan. A copy of the Plan Rules can be found on the Company's ASX announcements platform.

Remuneration policy

The Company’s remuneration policy is set out in detail in the 2012 Annual Report. 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.

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.

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit a director to acquire any equity securities (which include options over unissued Shares) under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of shareholders.

Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 for the proposed grant of Options to Executive Directors, other than the Managing Director.

8

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 3 to 5
were approved)
No. of Ordinary shares 212,451,587 212,611,587 213,977,879

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, and assuming no other shares are issued, an additional 160,000 Shares would be issued representing approximately 0.08% of all Shares and approximately 0.07% if the issue of Shares under resolutions 3 to 5 were approved.

  • (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$0.17 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$0.09 each (A$14,252 in total). Lattice models are based on the same underlying option pricing theory as the BlackScholes model. 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 24 to 28 September 2012 of A$0.20

  • Exercise price of the Options is A$0.17 each

  • Expiry date of Options is 14 November 2015

  • Risk free rate is 3.25%

  • A volatility factor of 65.88%.

date of notice are as follows:
Shares Options
Mr Kok Hwee Sim 1,062,846 300,000
Mr Kok Yew Sim 800,717 300,000

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.

Option terms and conditions of grant

  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 2013, and the remaining 50% of the Options will vest on 15 November 2014 (“Vesting Dates”).

  4. Each Option is exercisable at a price of A$0.17 (“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. Option holders will not be entitled to receive any dividends or distributions in respect of their Options, unless the Option has been exercised and a share allotted and issued pursuant to that exercise, on or before the relevant record date.

  10. 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

  1. 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, by way of dividend reinvestment or a bonus issue) 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 underlying Share (weighted by reference to volume) 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.
