COVID 19 and the Annual General Meeting

The Company respects shareholders' right to participate in the Annual General Meeting and understands the importance of the meeting to shareholders. However, the health and wellbeing of our shareholders, employees and the broader community is of paramount importance. In light of the uncertainty and risks associated with COVID 19, the Company encourages shareholders to attend the Meeting online rather than attending in person, particularly if you have any concerns about attending or making your way to the physical meeting venue in the Sydney CBD. Please do not attend the Meeting in person if you are feeling unwell.

Please be aware that we will be observing social distancing rules and we will not be offering refreshments at the Meeting. It may not be possible to admit all shareholders who wish to physically attend. Any shareholders who wish to physically attend the Meeting should take heed of government warnings and recommendations and monitor the Company's website and ASX announcements where updates will be provided if it becomes necessary or appropriate to make alternative arrangements for the holding or conduct of the Meeting.

Technical difficulties may arise during the course of the Meeting. The Chairman has discretion as to whether and how the Meeting should proceed in the event that a technical difficulty arises. In exercising his discretion, the Chairman will have regard to the number of shareholders impacted and the extent to which participation in the business of the meeting is affected. Where he considers it appropriate, the Chairman may continue to hold the meeting and transact business, including conducting a poll and voting in accordance with valid proxy instructions. For this reason, shareholders are encouraged to lodge a directed proxy even if they plan to attend the Meeting online.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

These Explanatory Notes form part of the Notice of Meeting and are intended to provide shareholders of the Company with information to assess the merits of the proposed resolutions.

The directors recommend that shareholders read these Explanatory Notes in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.

ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL REPORTS

The Corporations Act requires that the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") and the reports of the directors and the auditor (collectively the "Financial Reports") be laid before the Annual General Meeting. The Corporations Act does not require a vote of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on such reports or statements.

The Annual Report is available on the Company's internet site (www.evt.com). Shareholders who have specifically requested a hard copy of the Annual Report will receive it in the mail. Shareholders who have not specifically requested a hard copy of the Annual Report but would like to do so should contact the share registry on 1300 850 505.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions of the Board of directors in relation to the management of the Company. Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the Company's auditor, KPMG, questions relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Independent Auditor's Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Group in relation to the preparation of its financial statements, and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

ITEM 2 - REMUNERATION REPORT

The remuneration report is set out on pages 21 to 33 of the 2020 Annual Report. It is also available on the Company's internet site (www.evt.com). The remuneration report:
