Explanatory Notes
Item 2: Financial Statements and Reports
The Corporations Act requires the Financial Report and the
reports of the Directors and the Auditor be laid before the
Meeting. Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity
to raise questions and make comments on these reports at the
Meeting.
The Company’s Auditor will be present at the Meeting to
answer questions regarding the audit and the Auditor’s Report.
There is no requirement for a formal resolution on this item.
Item 3: Remuneration Report (Resolution 1)
Shareholders are asked to adopt the Company’s Remuneration
Report for the year ended 27 June 2021. The Remuneration
Report is set out in the Directors’ Report section of the
Company’s 2021 Annual Report.
The Company’s remuneration strategy is to align shareholder
value with executive reward. The Company’s remuneration
framework aims to attract, motivate and retain talent, reward
achievement of strategic objectives and create a reward
differentiation to drive performance values and behaviours.
The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the
Directors or the Company. However, a reasonable opportunity

this resolution and the outcome of the vote when considering
the future remuneration arrangements of the Company.
Recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote

Recommendation
The Board (other than the director who is the subject of the
relevant resolution) recommends that shareholders vote FOR
Resolution 2 and Resolution 3.
Item 5: Grant of share rights to the Managing Director &
Chief Executive Officer (Resolution 4)
Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, a listed company must not permit
a director to acquire equity securities (including share rights)
under an employee incentive scheme without shareholder
approval.
The purpose of Resolution 4 is to seek shareholder approval
for Mr Bracken to acquire equity securities under the
Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan (‘Plan’).
Under Resolution 4, approval is sought to grant Mr Bracken
634,081 share rights under the Company’s Plan.
If Resolution 4 is approved by shareholders then, upon grant of
the share rights the subject of that resolution, Mr Bracken will
have been granted 634,081 share rights in total under the Plan.
Overview of the Plan
The Company operates an incentive plan under which eligible
executives receive grants of share rights to acquire shares,
subject to meeting certain performance and/or service
conditions. Share rights are chosen by the Board to reward and
attract executive talent, because they create alignment with
the interests of shareholders.
Each share right entitles the holder to acquire one fully paid
ordinary share in the Company if the applicable performance
and/or service condition hurdles are met (as set out below). No
issue or exercise price is payable for share rights. Share rights
do not carry any dividend or voting rights prior to vesting and
are non-transferable, except in limited circumstances under
the Plan rules.
A summary of the Plan rules is set out in Annexure 1.
Resolution 4: Grant of share rights to the
Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer
In accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule
10.14, approval is sought to grant 634,081 share rights to
the Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Mr Daniel
Bracken, pursuant to the Plan for FY22.
If shareholder approval is given, the share rights will be granted
to Mr Bracken shortly after the Meeting and in any event within
12 months of the Meeting. If shareholders do not approve
the proposed grant of share rights, the Board will consider
alternative performance-based incentive remuneration
arrangements for Mr Bracken, with particular regard to the
Company’s executive remuneration policy and framework, and
strategic and operational imperatives.
The key terms of the proposed grant of share rights is set out
below.
Number of
share rights
proposed to be
granted
If shareholder approval is obtained, Mr Bracken will be granted 634,081 share rights under the Company’s
Plan for FY22.
The number of share rights to be granted (subject to shareholder approval) has been determined by
reference to the maximum value of the proposed grant of share rights, being $535,544, divided by
$0.8446 (being the value attributed to a share right).
The Board has set the value of share rights by reference to the volume weighted average price of the
Company’s shares for the 10 trading days on and from the release of the Company’s FY21 financial results
on 23 August 2021. This value is considered appropriate as it reflects the price of shares at the time the
market was fully informed of the financial position of the Company as at the commencement of the 2022
financial year.
Performance
period and
vesting
The performance period is three years, commencing 3 September 2021 and ending after 10 trading days
following the release of the Company’s FY24 financial results (anticipated August 2024).
The number of share rights that vest will depend on how well the Company has performed during the
performance period against the relevant performance hurdle. For outstanding performance, 100% of the
share rights will vest. Only a percentage of share rights will vest for performance below that level. If the
Company does not achieve a certain minimum threshold then all the applicable share rights will lapse and
no share rights can vest. Further information regarding the vesting schedule is set out below.
Performance
hurdles
and vesting
schedule
An absolute total shareholder return (TSR) test requires the achievement of a minimum positive absolute
TSR over the testing period. If the TSR does not reach that minimum rate over the testing period, the
share rights lapse.
Why a TSR?
The TSR hurdle was chosen to ensure alignment between incentivising executives and long term
shareholder value creation.
Vesting schedule
The table below sets out the percentage of performance share rights subject to the TSR hurdle that can
vest depending on the Company’s TSR performance:
TSR compound annual growth rate (‘CAGR’)% share rights vesting
Less than 10% CAGRNil
Between 10% CAGR to 20% CAGR
10% vesting for each 1% increase in CAGR
performance
Equal to or above 20% CAGR 100%
Absolute TSR measures the return received by shareholders from holding shares in a company over a
particular period. TSR is calculated by taking into account the growth in a company’s share price over the
period as well as the dividends received (and assumed to be reinvested back into the company’s shares)
during that period.
The formula for calculating the CAGR is as follows:
[(Share Price at End Date + Dividends Reinvested) / Share Price at Start Date]^(1/number of years) - 1
where:
Share price at Start Date = $0.8446
Number of years = 3 years.
The Share Price at the Start Date was calculated as the 10 working days’ volume weighted average price
(‘VWAP’) of the Company’s shares following the release of the FY21 financial results ($0.8446). The Share
Price at the End Date will be calculated as the 10 working days’ VWAP of the Company’s shares following
the release of the FY24 financial results.
Allocation
of shares
following
vesting
Following testing of the performance hurdles and determination of the portion of share rights available to
vest, share rights will convert to fully paid ordinary shares on a one for one basis in accordance with the
vesting schedule described above (subject to Mr Bracken’s continued employment with the Company at
the relevant date).
Any share rights that do not remain available to vest following testing of the performance hurdles at the
end of the performance period will lapse.
The Company’s obligation to allocate shares on vesting may be satisfied by issuing new shares, acquiring
shares on-market or by transferring shares from an employee share trust.
Restriction
periods
The vesting period for Mr Bracken’s share rights is three years and there is no additional restriction period
following vesting, other than any specified in the Company’s Trading Policy.
Mr Bracken’s current remuneration package
Mr Bracken’s current maximum remuneration comprises:
• $1,020,083 as Total Fixed Compensation (inclusive of
superannuation)
• $1,071,088 as his maximum short term incentive
opportunity, comprising of on target STI ($535, 544) and
an outperformance STI component ($535,544)
• $535,544 as his maximum long term incentive
opportunity.
Further details of Mr Bracken’s remuneration arrangements can
be found in the Company’s Remuneration Report.
Other information
Mr Bracken commenced with the Company as the Chief
Executive Officer in November 2018. As part of his Chief
Executive Officer remuneration package, he was previously
granted 2,310,215 share rights under the Company’s Plan
for FY19, FY20 and FY21 (subject to meeting certain vesting
conditions). Mr Bracken was granted:
• 110,018 share rights for FY19
• 142,459 share rights for FY20, and
• 2,057,738 share rights for FY21.
Details of any share rights and any subsequent issue of
ordinary fully paid shares under the Plan will be published in the
Company’s annual report relating to the period in which they
were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue
was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
At the date of this notice of Meeting, Mr Bracken is the only
director eligible to participate in the Plan. Any additional
persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become
entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan
after the resolution is approved and who were not named
in the notice of meeting will not participate until approval is
obtained under that rule.
Approval of this resolution will result in the share rights and
fully paid ordinary shares granted under the Plan to Mr Bracken
being included as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This
means the relevant share rights and shares, will not use up part
of the 15 per cent issue capacity available under ASX Listing
Rule 7.1.
There are no loans relating to the acquisition of share rights or
shares under the Plan.
Recommendation
The Board considers that the proposed grant of share rights
under the Plan for FY22 (which forms part of Mr Bracken’s
total remuneration package) is reasonable and appropriate
having regard to the Company’s circumstances, business
performance, remuneration objectives, and his duties and
responsibilities.
The Board (other than Mr Bracken) recommends that
shareholders vote FOR Resolution 4.
ANNEXURE 1: SUMMARY OF THE PLAN RULES
The key terms of the Plan are set out below.

The following persons may be invited to participate in the Plan:

Group company
• a full or part time employee of any Group company
• a casual employee or contractor of a Group company
to the extent permitted by the ASIC Class Order (further
detail below), or
• a prospective participant, being a person to whom the
offer is made but who can only accept the offer if an
arrangement has been entered into that will result in the
person becoming an eligible participant under one of the
criteria above.
Invitation to participate
The Board may from time to time in its absolute discretion
determine that an eligible participant be invited to participate
in the Plan and apply for up to a specified number of share
rights on such terms and conditions as the Board decides
from time to time and otherwise on the terms of the Plan. The
invitation may include:
• the number of share rights for which that
participant may apply
• the grant date
• the amount payable (if any) for the grant of each share
right or how such amount is calculated
• any condition to vesting of the share right, (‘Vesting
Conditions’)
• whether each share right, upon vesting needs to be
manually exercised or whether it will be
automatically exercised
• the conditions to exercise the share right
(Exercise Conditions)
• any exercise price
• whether the Company must fulfil a vested share right that
has been exercised by acquiring Shares on-market or by
any means, and
• any other supplementary terms and conditions
considered relevant by the Board.
Application to participate
Unless otherwise expressly permitted in an invitation, a
participant may only submit an application in that participant’s
name and not on behalf of any other person.
Upon receipt of an invitation, a participant may apply for
the share rights the subject of the invitation by sending the
completed prescribed application form to the Company by the
time and date specified in the Invitation.
The Board may accept an application from a participant in
whole or in part.
Following receipt of a completed application form (together
with any and all applicable ancillary documentation), the
Company will, to the extent that it has accepted such
application, grant the participant the relevant number of share
rights, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the
invitation, the application form, the Plan rules and any required
ancillary documentation.
Key terms
Voting and dividends
Prior to a share right being exercised, a participant is not
entitled, by virtue of holding a share right, to:
• notice of, or to vote or attend at, a meeting of the
shareholders of the Company, or
• receive any dividends declared by the Company.
Quoting on an exchange
Unless otherwise determined by the Board in its absolute
discretion, a share right granted under the Plan will not be
quoted on the ASX or any other recognised exchange.
Dealings
A participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security
interest over, or otherwise deal with a share right that has been
granted to them, unless the Board in its absolute discretion so
approves or the relevant dealing is effected by force of law on
death or legal incapacity to the participant’s legal or personal
representative.
Vesting
A share right will vest when a vesting notice in respect of that
share right is given or is deemed to be given to the participant.
A vesting condition for a share right may, subject to the
Corporations Act, the Listing Rules (where applicable) and any
other applicable laws and regulations, be waived by the Board.
Exercise of share rights
A share right may only be exercised when all vesting conditions
and all exercise conditions applicable to that share right
are satisfied or have been waived by the Company and
the Company has provided a confirmation notice to the
participant. If there are no exercise conditions, the vesting
notice will constitute the confirmation notice.
An exercise condition for a share right may, subject to the
Corporations Act, the Listing Rules (where applicable) and any
other applicable laws and regulations, be waived by the Board.
The participant’s invitation will specify whether a share right
is to be manually or automatically exercised. If automatically
exercised, it will be exercised on the first day the participant is
permitted to trade Company securities after the confirmation
notice is provided. If it is to be manually exercised, it may be
exercised by delivery of an exercise notice.
The Board may accept an application from a participant in
whole or in part.
Resulting shares
Upon exercise, the Company will (subject to the terms of the
invitation) issue, allocate or cause to be transferred to that
participant the number of shares to which that participant is
entitled.
Shares issued upon exercise will rank equally with all other
shares on issue in that class. If the class of shares are listed on
the ASX, the Company will apply for quotation of the shares
issued upon exercise.
The invitation may provide that disposal restrictions apply to
the resulting shares.
Cessation of employment
If a participant ceases employment with the Company before
the end of the performance period, the treatment of their
unvested share rights will depend on the circumstances of
cessation.
For example, where the participant ceases employment due
to resignation or termination for cause all unvested share
rights will be forfeited, unless the Board determines a different
treatment.
In other cases, such as a redundancy or bona fide retirement,
the Board has overriding discretion to waive the whole or a
portion of any vesting condition on the participant’s unvested
share rights.
Claw back
In the event of fraud, dishonesty or a willful breach of a
Participant’s obligations to any member of the Group, the
Board may claw back any shares allocated upon vesting or
lapse unvested or unexercised share rights.
Corporate activity
If a change of control event occurs, share rights will be vested
according to time served on a pro-rata basis. The Board will
then have discretion to determine whether they will vest a
participant’s remaining share rights on top of the pro-rata
amount.
The Plan includes standard provisions to deal with bonus
issues, rights issues and capital restructures.
Plan administration
The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board has
broad power to amend the Plan, subject to restrictions on
amendment where it would materially reduce the rights of any
participant as they existed before the date of the amendment.
ASIC Class Order Relief
Offers of share rights and issues of securities under the Plan
will be made in reliance on ASIC Class Order 14/1000, which
currently governs employee incentive schemes of listed
companies. The Class Order provides relief from certain
provisions (disclosure, licensing, hawking and other incidental
matters) of the Corporations Act provided that the conditions
specified in the Class Order are satisfied.
Relevantly, for the Class Order to apply, the Company must
have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an offer
under the Plan, that the number of shares to be received
on exercise of share rights offered, when aggregated with
the number of shares issued or that may be issued as a
result of offers made in reliance on the Class Order at any
time during the previous 3 year period under an employee
incentive scheme covered by the Class Order or an ASIC
exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive
scheme, will not exceed 5% of the total number of shares on
issue at the date of the offer.
