        Explanatory Notes

Neither the Corporations Act nor the Company's Constitution requires members to vote on or approve or adopt those reports.

          Members will, however, have the opportunity at the Meeting to raise questions on those reports. The Company's auditor will be available to take members' questions relating to the preparation and conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Audit Report.

          In accordance with section 250PA of the Corporations Act, shareholders who are eligible to cast a vote at the Meeting may also submit to the auditor a written question in relation to either the content of the auditor's report or the conduct of the audit of the annual financial report. Questions will be answered by the auditor at the Meeting and must be given to the Company no later than Wednesday 18 October 2017.

        2. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

          Mr Geoffrey N Brunsdon and Mr Anthony M Sims retire in rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election by ordinary resolutions.

          The personal particulars of Mr Geoffrey N Brunsdon and Mr Anthony M Sims follow:

          Geoffrey N Brunsdon

          Geoff Brunsdon is Chairman of Sims Metal Management Limited, APN Funds Management Limited, and MetLife Insurance Limited. He was previously Managing Director and Head of Investment Banking of Merrill Lynch International (Australia) Limited and is also involved in several non-profit organisations.

          Each of the Directors (Mr Brunsdon abstaining) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution to re-elect Mr Brunsdon as a Director.

          Anthony M Sims

          Tony Sims has significant experience as a Non-Executive Director, having been on the Boards of a range of financial services companies including Baycorp (Chairman for 8 years), ING Investment Management, PPB Advisory, ICS Advisory, Funds SA, and NSW State Superannuation Financial Services, in addition to a number of Boards of other non-financial services companies. Tony has also acted for a number of major financial services companies including the leading Australian Banks in his professional career as a Chartered Accountant and Official Liquidator, and founding partner of PPB Advisory and one of its predecessor firms, Sims Partners.

          Tony is the current Chairman of the Audit and Compliance Committee

          Each of the Directors (Mr Sims abstaining) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution to re-elect Mr Sims as a Director.

        3. REMUNERATION REPORT

          In accordance with s 300A of the Corporations Act, the Remuneration Report is contained in the Directors' Report of the 2017 IPE Limited Annual Report. The Report sets out:

          • the Company's remuneration policy including the intention of the Board not to establish a Remuneration Committee at this stage;

          • the remuneration details for each Director;

          • the shareholdings of each Director and their related parties; and

          • that, other than the Managing Director, there are no executive officers of the Company.

            The Directors recommend that you vote in favour of the Advisory Resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report.

            As provided by s250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the ordinary resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

        4. APPROVAL OF FURTHER RETURNS OF CAPITAL TO SHAREHOLDERS

          Distributions to shareholders as an equal reduction in share capital

          The Board has proposed that the Company seek approval to reduce its share capital during the 2018 calendar year by a total of up to $15,000,000 by way of one or more equal capital reductions, should the Board consider at any time during the 2018 calendar year that the Company's capital resources exceed its obligations and needs, including any future obligations of the Company to pay its creditors. Any reduction of capital that is implemented would be effected by the Company paying to each registered holder of ordinary shares in the Company, on dates and at times to be specified by the Board, the pro rata amount of each capital reduction per Share.

          This proposal follows on from shareholders providing approval, on four previous occasions, for reductions in the Company's share capital. Since 30 June 2014 the Company has paid a total of

          $30.4 million in capital returns to shareholders.

          The Board believes the proposal to continue to return capital provides an effective and efficient mechanism for returning cash to shareholders as the private equity portfolio of the Company is wound down.

          The Corporations Act requires the approval of shareholders for any reduction in share capital.

          Rationale for further returns of capital

          Shareholders will be well aware that since mid-2009 the Company's strategy has been to allow the private equity portfolio to wind down and to return cash to shareholders whenever it is feasible and prudent to do so. Since 2009, the Company's cash inflows had been primarily used to service its undrawn commitments to the private equity portfolio. Those inflows (consisting of capital and profits being returned by various private equity funds) proved sufficient to enable the Company to re-commence the payment of dividends in mid-2012. Those dividends came from profits while the capital components of the in-flows continued to be used to service the private equity commitments as the underlying portfolios continued to be built.

          As noted in the recent annual reports, all the private equity funds in the portfolio have completed their investment programmes and the Company's outstanding commitments have reduced to a modest amount ($0.8 million at 30 June 2017). . The Board considers that the amount that may still be called by private equity funds can be managed effectively within the Company's working capital resources.

          Given that position, the Board has again concluded that the Company is in a position to continue returning capital to shareholders where circumstances allow. Shareholders first voted

          in favour of the Company returning capital by way of equal capital reduction at a general meeting in May 2014 and have reiterated that approval at each subsequent AGM.

          Since the first return of capital by way of equal capital reduction was proposed, the Company has continued to receive distributions from its investment portfolio and those distributions consist of amounts that have been identified as capital and also as profit. Given the stage of the portfolio's life we anticipate that sales of underlying investments will continue over calendar years 2017 and 2018 and thus the Company will continue to receive distributions, part of which may be able to be paid out to shareholders by way of equal capital reduction.

          Prerequisites to a return of capital

          The possible returns of capital under Resolution 4 would constitute equal reductions of the Company's share capital for the purposes of the Corporations Act. This is because they relate only to ordinary shares, they apply to each holder of ordinary shares in proportion to the number of shares they hold, and the terms of the reduction are the same for each holder of ordinary shares.

          Section 256B(1) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company may reduce its share capital if the reduction:

          • is fair and reasonable to the Company's shareholders as a whole;

          • does not materially prejudice the Company's ability to pay its creditors; and

          • is approved by shareholders.

            Resolution 4 seeks the relevant approval of shareholders.

            The Directors believe that each reduction in share capital will be fair and reasonable to all shareholders of the Company as it will apply to all shareholders equally having regard to the number of Shares held by each of them at the relevant Record Date. Each Distribution that may arise will see a reduction of the cash assets of the Company and a corresponding reduction of the shareholders' equity in the balance sheet of the Company.

            The Directors intend to ensure that they are of the strong opinion, at the time any Distribution is declared, that the existing cash balances and expected cash inflows are adequate to service all of the Company's creditors, including the satisfaction of any remaining investment portfolio obligations, such that no Distribution will materially prejudice the Company's ability to pay its creditors. A Distribution will not be made at any time if the Directors do not continue to hold this strong opinion.

            ATO class ruling

            The Company did receive class rulings from the ATO which confirmed the capital nature of the returns of capital paid in the financial years ended 30 June 2014, 30 June 2015, 30 June 2016

            and 30 June 2017.

            With no changes to the recording procedures of the Company since these returns of capital by way of equal capital reduction, the Directors believe that the Company's records enable it to accurately identify the capital components of its cash-flows but nevertheless the Company proposes to continue to make an annual submission to the ATO for a relevant class ruling so that shareholders may have comfort on the capital nature of any return of capital by way of equal capital reduction over each period ending 30 June.

            Due to the time involved in obtaining ATO class rulings, and associated costs in relation to it, the Board believes it will be more economical and efficient to obtain a single ruling each financial year in relation to any Distributions that the Company has made during the relevant period, which the Board will initially label as a return of capital. The Board will then advise shareholders via an announcement to the ASX and on its website as to the outcome of the

            application for a class ruling in regards the tax nature of all Distributions made during the financial year. A copy of the final version of the class ruling will also be published on the ATO website and a notice included in the Government Notices Gazette.

            Shareholders should note that even though the ATO confirmed the capital

            n a tu re o f th e p revio u s return s o f cap ital, th ere is no gu a ra n tee th a t th e ATO 's conclusions will be the same in the future.

            Effect of the Distributions on shareholders of the Company

            If Resolution 4 is approved by shareholders, and the Board determines that one or more Distributions should be made during the 12 months ending 31 December 2018, the return of capital amount per Share would be an amount determined by the Board, provided that the overall amount to be returned to shareholders does not exceed $15 million in that calendar year. If the Directors determine that a Distribution should be made, the Directors would announce the relevant Record Date for the Distribution at an appropriate time.

            Any Distribution will not result in the cancellation of any Shares or the dilution of shareholdings in the Company.

            Effect of the Distributions on the capital of the Company

            As at the date of this Notice, the Company has 135,644,099 Shares on issue. There are no other securities on issue. After any Distribution, the number of Shares on issue will remain the same however the share capital of the Company will be reduced by the aggregate amount of the Distribution that the Board announces at the time of announcement of the proposed Distribution.

            Share price impact

            On each occasion a Distribution is implemented, the Shares may trade at a lower share price than they would have done had that Distribution not been implemented. This is likely to occur from the "ex" date, being the day that the Shares trade without an entitlement to participate in the relevant Distribution.

            Dividends

            The Company's strategy is to wind-down the private equity fund portfolio and to return cash to shareholders whenever it is feasible and prudent to do so. Consequently, the Company will pay either dividends or Distributions (whichever is applicable) whenever surplus cash balances allow, subject to continuing to consider its ongoing obligations to its investment portfolio and all creditors of the Company.

            Key financial impacts

            As noted above, the Company is in wind down, and no new investments are intended to be made. The Company's outstanding commitments to private equity funds have been reduced to

            $0.8 million and the Board monitors these commitments on an ongoing basis. In the Board's opinion, the Company's strategy to return capital to shareholders in accordance with the approvals sought through Resolution 4 will not adversely affect the Company's capacity to fund any of these pre-existing commitments.

            It is not possible to include a pro forma balance sheet in this document because, at this time, the Board does not know the likely amount of any Distribution. However, whenever a Distribution is paid the Company's:

          • cash assets will be reduced by the aggregate amount of the Distribution; and

          • share capital will also be reduced by the amount of the Distribution.

        5. Taxation implications of the Distributions for the Company

          No adverse tax consequences are expected to arise for the Company as a result of any Distribution.

          Taxation implications of the Distributions for shareholders

          The income tax consequences of the Distributions will depend on the personal circumstances of each shareholder. In considering Resolution 4, the Company recommends that shareholders seek their own tax advice to understand the tax consequences of a Distribution, having regard to their own specific facts and circumstances.

          The following is a brief comment on the anticipated tax implications of a Distribution. These are general comments, and are not specific to individual circumstances.

          The Company will seek class rulings from the Australian Taxation Office in relation to the tax treatment of any return of capital to shareholders by way of equal capital reduction for the year ended 30 June 2018 and, in a separate submission, for the year ended 30 June 2019. (If there are no returns of capital no class rulings would be sought.) Accordingly, at the date of this Notice, the Company can give no assurance that the ATO will take the same view as that outlined in relation to past returns of capital, and the Company accepts no liability in respect of the comments in this section.

          If the ATO declines to issue a class ruling that a return of capital will not be treated as a dividend for Australian income tax purposes, shareholders will have to use their own discretion as to the taxation implications of the return of capital based on the conclusions that the ATO include in their ruling. A copy of the rulings will be published on the ATO

          w ebsite, the Company's website and i ssued to the ASX.

          Income tax

          Subject to the above, the Company does not anticipate that any part of a Distribution will be treated as a dividend for Australian income tax purposes.

          Capital gains tax (CGT)

          Subject to the above, where Shares are held on capital account, the CGT treatment for shareholders holding post-CGT Shares should be as follows:

          1. Resident shareholders

            The return of capital will reduce the cost base and reduced cost base of the Shares.

            If the return of capital exceeds the cost base of the Shares held by a shareholder, a capital gain will arise. The capital gain should be eligible for the CGT discount where the conditions for obtaining the CGT discount are satisfied.

            If a shareholder has sold a Share prior to the date for payment of any Distribution, but after the Record Date, the amount of the Distribution should be a capital gain. Again, the capital gain should be eligible for the CGT discount where the conditions for obtaining the CGT discount are satisfied.

          2. Non-resident shareholders

          The Distributions should not give rise to a capital gain, even if the amount of the return of capital exceeds the cost base of the Shares held by the non-resident.

          Where Shares are held on revenue account with a profit making intention or as trading stock, shareholders should seek their own tax advice in relation to the tax implications of any Distribution.

          Timing of Distributions

          If shareholders approve Resolution 4, Distributions during the year to 31 December 2018 would be made on dates specified by the Board when circumstances allow a return of capital to be made. The Company intends to make an appropriate announcement to the ASX setting out the chosen Record Date and date of payment.

          Payments to shareholders

          The payment by the Company of any Distribution will be to those persons who are shareholders as at the relevant Record Date and the manner of payment will be in accordance with the instructions held by the Company's share registry.

          Returns of capital in future calendar years

          Due to the Company continuing to be in wind down, the Board currently intends to include a reduction of capital resolution similar to Resolution 4 at subsequent Annual General Meetings to cover proposed returns of capital in the immediately subsequent calendar year.

          Voting against the resolutions

          The Board believes that the Distributions will be in the Company's and shareholders' best interests for the reasons set out in this Notice. However, you may wish to vote against Resolution 4 for various reasons, for example if you believe that the Company should retain these surplus funds or use them in a different way.

          Directors' interests in Shares

          The relevant interest of each Director in Shares, as notified by the Directors to the ASX in accordance with subsection 205(1) of the Corporations Act, at the date of this Notice is as follows:

          Director Name

          Geoff Brunsdon

          900,000

          Tony Sims

          200,000

          nary

          Directors' recommendation

          For the reasons set out above the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. Each Director intends to vote all Shares held or controlled by them in favour of Resolution 4.

          No other material information

          Other than as set out in this document, and other than information previously disclosed to shareholders, there is no other information that is known to the Directors which may reasonably be expected to be material to the making of a decision by shareholders on whether or not to vote in favour of any of the Resolutions.
