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

FOR Resolution 1.

Item 4: Re-election of Directors (Resolutions 2 & 3)

minimum of one director to retire by rotation at the Meeting,

and that a director must not hold office without re-election

past the third Annual General Meeting following that director’s

appointment or three years, whichever is longer.

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.

Participation

Eligible participants

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

• a director (whether executive or non-executive) of any

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.
