Explanatory Statement

Keybridge Capital Limited

A.B.N. 16 088 267 190

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  • This Explanatory Statement is provided to Keybridge shareholders pursuant to and in satisfaction of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
  • This Explanatory Statement is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of AGM (Meeting Document).
  • Shareholders should read this Meeting Document in full to make an informed decision regarding the resolutions considered at this AGM.
  1. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT

Section 317 of the Corporations Act requires the Directors of the Company to lay before the AGM the Directors' Report, Financial Report and the Auditor's Report for the last financial year that ended before the AGM. These reports are contained within the Company's 2021 Annual Report.

An electronic version of the 2021 Annual Report may be viewed and downloaded from the Company's website: www.keybridge.com.au or the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) under ASX Code: KBC or emailed to shareholders upon request to info@keybridge.com.au.

Shareholders as a whole will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions or make statements in relation to these reports and on the business and operations of the Company but no resolution to adopt the reports will be put to shareholders at the AGM.

Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the Company's Auditor questions about the Auditor's Report and the conduct of the audit of the Financial Report.

  1. ORDINARY RESOLUTION 1 - RE-ELECTION OF JEREMY KRIEWALDT AS DIRECTOR

Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval for the re-election of Jeremy Kriewaldt as a Director of the Company.

Jeremy Kriewaldt was first elected a Director of the Company at a shareholders' meeting held on 23 November 2016.

Jeremy Kriewaldt retires at the AGM under ASX Listing Rule 14.5 and under clause 8.1(d)(2) of the Company's Constitution. However, being eligible, he has offered himself for re-election as a Director of the Company.

Jeremy Kriewaldt's qualifications and experience are detailed in the Directors' Report in the Company's 2021 Annual Report.

Directors' Recommendation

The Board (other than Jeremy Kriewaldt, who makes no recommendation in respect of his own re-election as a Director) supports the re-election of Jeremy Kriewaldt to the Board and recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

  1. ORDINARY RESOLUTION 2 - SETTING THE TOTAL REMUNERATION FOR DIRECTORS

Resolution 2 has been proposed by the following members of the Company who hold at least 5% of the votes that may be cast at a general meeting of the Company:

  • WAM Capital Limited (ACN 086 587 395) (WAM Capital);
  • WAM Active Limited (ACN 126 420 719) (WAM Active); and
  • Botanical Nominees Pty Limited (ACN 081 032 000) as trustee for the Wilson Asset Management Equity Fund (Collectively "WAM Group")

The Company notes that it is in shareholders' interests to remunerate directors appropriately in order to attract the best calibre of person to serve on the Board. Remuneration should therefore reward directors for the value they add to the organisation as well as reflecting their duties and the legal liability assumed on behalf of shareholders.1
