N o t e s

These notes form part of the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Voting Entitlements

The Directors have determined that, for the purpose of voting at the Meeting, members eligible to vote at the Meeting are those persons who are the registered holders of Shares at 4.00 pm (WST) on Monday, 5 November 2012. Accordingly, share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining voting entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.

How to Vote

You may vote by attending the Meeting in person, by proxy, or by an authorised representative.

Voting in Person

To vote in person, attend the Meeting on the date and at the place set out above. Members are asked to arrive at the venue 30 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that the Company may check their shareholding against the Company’s share register and note attendances.

Voting by Proxy

A shareholder has the right to appoint a proxy, who need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy can be an individual or a body corporate. A body corporate appointed as a shareholder’s proxy may appoint a representative to exercise any of the powers the body may exercise as a proxy at the Meeting. The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which the appointment is signed, unless it has previously been given to the Company.

If a shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes they may appoint two proxies and may specify the percentage of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.

Recent changes to the law have impacted on the way proxies vote at company meetings. Broadly, these changes include that:

• if a proxy holder votes, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

• any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chairman who must vote the proxies as directed.

For further details on these changes you should consult your professional adviser.

To vote by proxy, the Proxy Form (together with the original of any power of attorney or other authority, if any, or certified copy of that power of attorney or other authority under which the proxy is signed) must be received at the Company’s Share Registrar by no later than 11.00 am (Perth time) on Monday, 5 November 2012 (Proxy Forms received after that time will be invalid). Proxy Forms must be received before that time via any of the following methods:

By Post: Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited GPO Box 242 Melbourne, Victoria 3001

By Facsimile: (within Australia) 1800 783 447

By Facsimile: (outside Australia) +61 3 9473 2555

Voting restrictions that may affect your proxy appointment on Items 3 (Remuneration Report), 4 (Approval of Managing Director’s Long Term Incentives for 2012), 5 (Increase in Aggregate Fees for Non Executive Directors) and 6 (Amendment to Terms of Existing Employee Options to Allow Cashless Exercise)

If the Chairman is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as your proxy, you can direct the Chairman of the meeting to vote ‘for’ or ‘against’, or ‘abstain’ from voting on, items 3, 4, 5 and 6 on the Proxy Form. If you do not direct the Chairman to vote on items 3, 4, 5 and 6 the Chairman can only cast your votes on items 3, 4, 5 and 6 if you mark the box on the Proxy Form expressly authorising him or her to do so. If you do not do so, you risk your vote not being cast. If you appoint a member of Key Management Personnel of the Company (other than the Chairman) or their closely related parties as your proxy, you must direct them how to vote on items 3, 4, 5 and 6. If you do not do so, you risk your vote not being cast.

Directors who retire from office in accordance with Rule 11.7(a) of the Constitution are eligible for re-election.

Accordingly, Mr Brown and Mr Dippie, who were last re-elected to the Board on 29 October 2009, will retire and offer themselves for re-election.

Item 2(c) seeks approval for the election of Mr Mark Bethwaite who was appointed to the Board since the last Annual General Meeting under Rule 11.2(b) of the Constitution. Any Director appointed under this Rule may hold office only until the next Annual General Meeting whereby they are eligible under Rule 11.3(a) to offer themselves for election as a Director.

Accordingly, Mr Bethwaite, who was appointed to the Board on 27 March 2012, offers himself for election.

Shareholders’ approval for the issue of Performance Rights to Dr Dalgleish is sought, as both a matter of good governance and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14, which will preserve the flexibility as to how the Company sources any shares allocated on vesting of the Performance Rights (i.e. whether shares are purchased on-market and transferred to Dr Dalgleish or issued directly to him).

The Non-Executive Directors consider that Dr Dalgleish’s remuneration package (including his participation in the LTI Plan through the grant of Performance Rights and the performance criteria that such grant is subject to) is reasonable and appropriate having regard to the circumstances of the Company and Dr Dalgleish’s responsibilities as Managing Director and CEO. In making this determination, Non-Executive Directors have consulted with independent remuneration advisor, Godfrey Remuneration Group to review the remuneration package of Dr Dalgleish, including the recommended grant of Performance Rights.

As the grant of Performance Rights forms part of Dr Dalgleish’s remuneration, the Performance Rights will be granted at no cost to Dr Dalgleish and no amount is payable on vesting of the Performance Rights.

If Shareholder approval is obtained, it is anticipated that the Performance Rights will be granted to Dr Dalgleish shortly after the meeting and, in any event, no later than 12 months after the date of the meeting.

Grant Under LTI Plan

The maximum number of Performance Rights that will be granted to Dr Dalgleish is 1,400,000.

Each Performance Right entitles Dr Dalgleish to one fully paid ordinary RCR share, at no cost, at the end of a three year performance period, subject to the satisfaction of the performance measures described below.

Performance Rights carry no voting or dividend entitlements, nor do they create any legal or beneficial right, to an existing share until they have vested.

Any shares allocated to Dr Dalgleish on vesting of the Performance Rights will either be RCR shares purchased on-market and transferred to Dr Dalgleish (including through the use of a trust structure contemplated by the terms of the LTI Plan) or issued as new RCR shares. RCR will fund the cost of any such issue or transfer. On issue, those shares will rank equally with other RCR shares.

Performance Rights are non transferrable.

Performance Measures that Apply to the Performance Rights

The grant of Performance Rights will be subject to two separate performance measures over a three year performance period, as follows:

• Half of the Performance Rights (i.e. up to 700,000) will be subject to RCR achieving a Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of between 8% and 16% (“EPS Hurdle”); and

• Half of the Performance Rights (i.e. up to 700,000) will be subject to RCR’s relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) performance measured against a comparator group of companies determined by the Board (“TSR Hurdle”).

The Performance Rights lapse if the performance measures are not met at the end of the performance period.

There is no re-testing of Performance Rights after the three year performance period.For

10 Notice of Annual General Meeting 2012

Performance Period

The performance period for the grant of the Performance Rights is three years, commencing on 1 July 2012 and ending on 30 June 2015.

EPS Hurdle (50% weighting)

If RCR meets the EPS performance hurdles set out in the table below during the performance period, up to 700,000 shares will vest with Dr Dalgleish.

The EPS component of the Performance Rights will vest if RCR’s EPS CAGR is between 8% and 16% at the end of the three year performance period.

The EPS vesting schedule is as follows:

RCR’s compound EPS growth (CAGR)Proportion of EPS Hurdle Tranche entitlement that will vest

Number of Shares Vesting

Less than 8% per annum 0% Nil

8% per annum 35.71% 250,000

Between 8% and 16% per annum Pro-rated vesting between 8% and 16% CAGR (i.e. 56,250 shares per 1.0% increase in the CAGR).

16% or more per annum 100% (i.e. maximum available under EPS Hurdle Tranche) 700,000

EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit after tax (i.e. statutory NPAT) adjusted for the after tax effect of any significant or adjustable items (at the discretion of the Board), by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company on issue during the relevant financial year.

The Board has determined the CAGR for EPS measurement will be set by reference to a base EPS represented by RCR’s internal budgets. Actual EPS performance against those budgets will be disclosed in the Company’s Remuneration Report at the end of the performance period.

The Company’s EPS will be determined at the end of the three year performance period. The Board will then determine the level of satisfaction of the EPS performance hurdle and therefore the level of vesting of the EPS Hurdle Tranche.

TSR Hurdle (50% weighting)

If RCR meets the TSR performance hurdles set out in the table below, during the performance period, up to 700,000 shares will vest with Dr Dalgleish.

The TSR component of the Performance Rights will vest if RCR’s relative TSR performance is equal to or greater than the 50th percentile of the comparator group of companies at the end of the three year performance period, in accordance with the following vesting schedule:

TSR RankProportion of TSR Hurdle Tranche entitlement shares that vest

Number of Shares Vesting

Less than 50th percentile 0% Nil

50th percentile 35.71% 250,000

Between 50th percentile and 75th percentile

Pro-rated vesting between 50th and 75th percentile (i.e. 18,000 shares per one percentile increase in the TSR ranking)

75th percentile 100% (i.e. maximum available under TSR Hurdle Tranche) 700,000

RCR Tomlinson Ltd 11

The comparator group of companies for the TSR Hurdle will comprise up to 25 peer companies which will include predominantly companies in the S&P/ASX 300 Index (excluding financial services companies) at the beginning of the performance period. These companies will include companies with a higher and lower market capitalisation than RCR and who compete or operate in similar industries and sectors to RCR. The Board has the discretion to adjust the comparator group to take into account events, including but not limited to takeovers, mergers or demergers or change of business that might occur during the performance period.

TSR for RCR and the companies in the comparator group will be calculated, by an external provider, as follows:

• TSR will be measured over the three year performance period (i.e. 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2015);

• For the purpose of this measurement, the share price will be averaged over the 30 days preceding the start and end date of the performance period;

• Dividends will be assumed to have been re-invested on the ex-dividend date; and

• Ignoring tax and any franking credits (or equivalent).

The Company’s relative TSR will be determined at the end of the three year performance period. The Board will then determine the level of satisfaction of the TSR performance hurdle and therefore the level of vesting of the TSR Hurdle Tranche.

Issue of RCR Shares on Vesting

If the performance criteria are met the Performance Rights automatically vest and Dr Dalgleish will become entitled to the requisite amounts of shares (which are expected to be transferred or issued to him on or about 31 August 2015).

It is currently intended that shares allocated on vesting will be acquired on-market. However, the Board retains the discretion to instead issue new RCR shares.

Treatment of Performance Rights on Cessation of Employment

Under the LTI Plan any unvested Performance Rights granted to Dr Dalgleish will lapse on cessation of employment.

In the event of cessation of employment for reasons of death, total and permanent disability, a pro-rata number of unvested Performance Rights will lapse based on the proportion of time remaining in the performance period. The portion relating to the Dr Dalgleish’s completed service may still vest, subject to achieving the performance measures at the end of the applicable performance period.

Change of Control

If a change of control occurs in RCR (for example, a party making a takeover bid for RCR acquires voting power of more than 50% in RCR or shareholders approve a scheme of arrangement pursuant to which a party acquires a similar voting power in RCR), any Performance Rights that have not yet vested will immediately vest:

• if the change of control occurs within 12 months of the date of grant of the Performance Right (or such other date as determined by RCR), on the date of the change of control; or

• if the change of control occurs after 12 months of the date of grant of the Performance Right (or such other date as determined by RCR), on the date of the change of control but only if the performance criteria would have been satisfied for the financial year ended immediately prior to the change or control and the Board has not determined otherwise.

Other Information

The estimated fair value of each Performance Right, as calculated in accordance with AASB 2 “Share-Based Payments”, has been determined by RCR’s external advisor. For the proposed grant of Performance Rights, the calculated fair value of the Performance Rights has been determined as at 27 September 2012. The indicative value of each Performance Right is $0.54 for those subject to the ESP Hurdle and $0.82 for those subject to the TSR Hurdle (average value of $0.68 for each Performance Right over both tranches). These values have been used to determine the number of Performance Rights to be granted to Dr Dalgleish and represent the long term incentive component of his remuneration package (being an aggregate fair value of the Performance Rights is $952,000, which represents 107% of Dr Dalgleish’s total fixed remuneration). The actual accounting expense of the Performance Rights can only be determined by reference to the fair value of the Performance Rights at the date the Performance Rights are granted. The actual accounting expense is then recognised over the three year performance period.

In relation to the LTI Plan:

• Dr Dalgleish is the only Director entitled to participate under the RCR LTI Plans;

• Dr Dalgleish has currently 248,186 unvested Performance Rights issued under the terms of the LTI Plan, which are subject to vesting on 30 September 2013. No amount was payable for the issue of those Performance Rights. Details of Dr Dalgleish’s remuneration and other interests in RCR are set out in the Remuneration Report and Director’s Report in the 2012 Annual Report released to the ASX on 6 September 2012 and available on the Company’s website;

• No other Performance Rights have been issued to directors or associates of directors under the LTI Plan;

• There is no loan scheme in relation to the Performance Rights;

• Dr Dalgleish is prohibited from hedging the share price exposure in respect of Performance Rights during the performance period applicable to those Performance Rights. Shares issued on the vesting of Performance Rights will be subject to RCR’s Securities Trading Policy; and

• If Shareholder approval is obtained, details of the Performance Rights granted to Dr Dalgleish under the LTI Plan will be provided in the Remuneration Report for the year ending 30 June 2013.

Shareholder approval was obtained on 18 November 2010 to sanction RCR financially assisting an employee in acquiring RCR shares (which may occur where RCR elects to transfer shares rather than issue them). That approval applies to any shares transferred pursuant to the vesting of Performance Rights.

Board Recommendation

The Board (other than Dr Paul Dalgleish) considers the grant of Performance Rights to Dr Dalgleish to be appropriate in all the circumstances and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Item 4.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of the grant of Performance Rights to Dr Dalgleish.

Item 5 - Increase in Aggregate Fees for Non Executive Directors

In accordance with Rule 11.9 of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 10.17, shareholders of the Company are being asked to approve an increase in Directors’ fee pool (the maximum aggregate amount which may be paid as Non Executive Directors) by $150,000, from $800,000 to $950,000 per annum (inclusive of superannuation).

The current annual fee pool of $800,000 was approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting in 2010. Since that time, the Company has continued the expansion of its business and considers it to be very important that it remains able to attract and retain Directors with the appropriate experience, expertise, skills and diversity to oversee the Company’s business and strategic direction. Accordingly, the remuneration of Non Executive Directors must remain competitive with remuneration paid by companies of a similar size and complexity.

The Board has reviewed the current fee pool limit and determined that the current fee cap leaves little headroom to accommodate:

• any future increase in the number of Non Executive Directors, particularly where it is considered appropriate in light of the growth and complexity of the Company’s business or to increase diversity of membership of the Board; and

• any future market based reviews for Non Executive Directors’ fees in order to maintain market competitiveness. No individual fee increases are proposed in the next year

The Board confirms that it does not currently intend to utilise the full increased fee cap, as proposed, but considers that the increase provides the necessary flexibility for the reasons set out above.

Currently, the total fees per annum paid to all Non Executive Directors is $696,000. This amount remains well below the current and proposed fee cap of $950,000 per annum.

The Board also confirms that the current remuneration payable to individual Non Executive Directors last increased on 1 July 2012 and is set out in the table below.

Current Level of Annual Board and Committee Fees Payable to Non Executive Directors

Board Audit & Risk CommitteeRemuneration &

Nomination Committee

Position $ $ $

Chairman of the Board 208,000 - -

Non Executive Director 104,000 - -

Committee Chairman - 24,000 12,000

Committee Member - 12,000 6,000

Notes: the current aggregate fees paid to Non-Executive Directors of $696,000 per annum, is based on six Non Executive Directors, of which one is the Chairman; three members of the Audit & Risk Committee of which one is Committee Chair; and three members to the Remuneration and Nominations Committee of which one is Committee Chair. Amounts are inclusive of superannuation.

The amendment will be treated as applying in respect of each financial year of the Company commencing on or after 1 July 2012.

The Company, of course, will continue to set the actual level of remuneration of its Non Executive Directors within the shareholder approved fee cap limit, after having regard to independent external advice, market practice, Board performance and other appropriate factors.

Disclosure of Directors’ remuneration will continue to be made to shareholders in each Annual Remuneration Report in accordance with applicable legal and ASX Listing Rule requirements.

Board Recommendation

Dr Dalgleish (as the only Executive Director and who does not receive Director Fees) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the increase in aggregate fees for Non Executive Directors.

The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of item 5.

14 Notice of Annual General Meeting 2012

Item 6 – Amendment to Terms of Existing Employee Options to Allow Cashless Exercise

A number of employee options have been issued to employees in prior years (pursuant to RCR Employee Share Option Plan as approved by Shareholders on 29 September 2006 and 28 October 2009) and issued to the Managing Director and CEO, Dr Dalgleish (pursuant to option terms approved by Shareholders on 28 October 2009). The terms of issue of these options contemplate the exercise of options in the traditional manner (i.e. being payment of the exercise price in cash and receipt of one new RCR share per option exercised).

Shareholders’ approval is being sought to amend the terms of these options and the RCR Employee Share Option Plan to permit existing optionholders and any future optionholders to nominate at the optionholder’s election a ‘cashless exercise’.

Cashless exercise essentially allows the optionholder to set-off the exercise price and simply receive RCR shares to the value of the difference between the exercise price and the market value of shares on the day the options are exercised.

This form of exercise will be available to optionholders at their election. The optionholder may still elect to exercise their options in the traditional manner.

Worked examples showing the difference between a traditional exercise and the proposed alternative of a ‘cashless exercise’ are set out below.

On nominating a ‘cashless exercise’, the Company will only issue (or acquire on-market) that number of shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) as are equal in value to the difference between the exercise price otherwise payable for the options and the market value of the shares at the time of exercise. The market value will be based on the weighted average price of RCR shares on the ASX over 20 trading days prior to the notice of exercise being given by the optionholder, unless otherwise determined by the Board.

Cashless exercise will not be allowed during any closed period determined in accordance with the Company’s Securities Trading Policy.

Under the existing terms of the options, no options can be exercised until they vest by meeting the time based conditions and/or performance hurdles attached to the options. The table below sets out the details of existing options and their vesting dates. These will remain unchanged.

It is further proposed to amend the terms of the options and the RCR Employee Share Option Plan, to provide RCR with flexibility to issue new RCR shares, transfer RCR shares or acquire RCR shares on-market (including through the RCR Employee Share Trust) to satisfy obligations on the exercise (either in the traditional manner or by cashless exercise) of options.

The provision by the Company of the cashless exercise alternative and the transfer of shares to an optionholder on exercise may be considered to be providing financial assistance to the optionholder or the Trustee of the RCR Employee Share Trust appointed to acquire RCR shares.

Accordingly, shareholders’ approval is sought to approve each of these changes and to approve the amended Employee Share Option Plan for the purposes of section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act.

Worked Examples

Traditional Exercise – example only

By way of example only, if an optionholder holds 10,000 options each with an exercise price of $0.39 (which have vested and are therefore capable of exercise), then in electing to exercise all of these options in the traditional manner the optionholder would pay RCR $3,900 and receive 10,000 Shares.

Cashless Exercise – example only

Under the proposed alternative, the optionholder may nominate cashless exercise. In circumstances where the RCR’s 20 trading day weighted average price is $1.60 per share (“Market Price”) (calculated prior to the date of notice to exercise being given to RCR) they will pay no cash on exercise and receive 7,562 Shares. Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Calculated as follows:

• 10,000 options x $1.60 Market Price per share = $16,000,

• Then, $16,000 less the exercise price of $3,900 (being 10,000 options x $0.39 per share) = $12,100 net market value,

• Then $12,100 net market value divided by $1.60 Market Price per share = 7,562 shares rounded down and issued to the optionholder on exercise of options.

5,255,515

Effect of the Proposed Amendment

The amendments will not change the fundamental entitlements of the existing optionholders, rather, it will provide them with an alternative means of exercise.

The Board considers that the proposed cashless exercise amendment is administrative in nature, in that it only affects the manner in which options are exercised. Furthermore, the cashless amendment does not change the entitlements of holders of options, and in particular, an employee (including Dr Dalgleish) will be in the same economic position as if they had exercised all of their options, paid the relevant total exercise price, and disposed of some of their shares equal in value to that total exercise price.

The Directors (excluding Dr Dalgleish who has an interest in the Resolution) consider there to be a number of benefits in offering a cashless exercise alternative including:

• limits dilution to existing shareholders (as fewer shares are issued under the cashless exercise alternative and RCR will have the flexibility to acquire shares on-market to satisfy the exercise of options);

• makes the option exercise a more attractive prospect for the employee who may otherwise not have ready access to the necessary cash to exercise in the traditional manner;

• makes retention of the shares issued on exercise more attractive to employees (as the employee would not need to sell down all or part of the shares to recoup the monies paid to exercise the options); and

• it aligns RCR’s Employee Share Option Plan with RCR’s Long Term Incentive Plan, which provides for the grant of performance rights to senior executives, which have no exercise price.

While less cash would be received by the Company where cashless exercise is selected, this is not seen as a material consideration as the options are not issued for the purpose of raising funds, but principally to assist in attracting, retaining and rewarding employees (including Dr Dalgleish) for performance. Similarly, the total amount that would be raised if all options were issued would be $2,456,676 which is not considered to be material in the context of RCR’s financial position.

Furthermore, if shares are acquired on-market to satisfy the exercise of options under the traditional way it would reduce the Company’s cash on hand by $5,952,148 (net of the exercise price of $2,456,676 based on the current market price of $1.60 per share), which again is not considered material.

The Non Executive Directors have also consulted with independent remuneration advisor, Godfrey Remuneration Group, who recommends the proposal and amendments to provide optionholders with a cashless alternative on exercise.

Board Recommendation

The Directors (excluding Dr Paul Dalgleish who has declined to make a recommendation due to his interest in the Resolution) unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this item 6.
