Explanatory Memorandum
This Explanatory Memorandum sets out further information regarding the proposed Resolutions to be considered by Shareholders of the Company at the AGM to be held commencing 10.00 am on 27th November 2015 in the offices of BDJ Partners, Level 13, 122 Arthur Street, North Sydney NSW. The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum before determining whether or not to support the Resolutions.
Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report
-
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 senior management 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 2015.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the AGM.
-
Voting consequences
If at least 25% or more of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company (Spill Resolution) at the second annual general meeting.
If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general 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 financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) 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.
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 AGM.
Resolution 2: Re-election of Director - Mr Patrick Elliott
Under Rule 6.4 of the Constitution one third of the Directors or the number nearest to one third, of the Company's longest serving Directors since the last election or re-election, and not including a Director appointed by the remaining Directors either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, must retire unless re-elected. Each retiring Director is eligible for re-election in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Constitution.
Resolution 2 provides for the re-election of Mr Patrick Elliott as a Director in accordance with the Constitution.
