AGM - 22 NOVEMBER 2019

Chairman's Address

It is now 10.30am, this is a properly constituted meeting and a quorum is present. I therefore declare the Annual General Meeting of Senetas Corporation Ltd open.

I would like to welcome you today and thank you for your interest demonstrated by your attendance.

I introduce your board and thank them for their efforts over the past 12 months. Lt Gen (Ret) Ken Gillespie, Dave Hansen, Phil Schofield and Lachie Given.

I would also like to welcome and thank our CEO and director, Andrew Wilson for his leadership and he and his team's efforts for the past 12 months. I also thank our engineers and innovation team ably lead by John Weston, Julian Fay and James Baird for their continued innovation and product development, our marketers for developing the material to best present our products and finally our business development team and global partner Thales and its team for their efforts. I also would like to make a special mention and thank you to Barb McMeekin, Senetas' CFO, who retires at the end of the year and has been with us for the past 17 years. With Andrew's promotion to CEO, Barb stepped up to the CFO role and has done an outstanding job.

Finally, I welcome our company secretary Brendan Case and thank him for his assistance over the past 12 months.

SEARCHING FOR ADDITIONAL NEW REVENUE GROWTH

As I mentioned last year Senetas is a company in transition. Senetas has reached a number of milestones over the past 12 months. These include:

  • the completion of the acquisition of Gemalto (Senetas' global distributor) by Thales;
  • the corresponding integration of the Gemalto product line and sales force and from our perspective the realigning of the Thales Digital Identity and Security business unit including the Senetas product line;

  • following from this the adoption by Thales of the Senetas high speed network encryption products (virtual and hardware) as its product line going forward; and
  • the acceptance of Suredrop into the Thales product line.

Senetas is excited about its future revenue growth prospects as a result of meeting these milestones but frankly the board wants considerably more growth than we are presently seeing.

As part of Senetas' transition process the board has embarked on a detailed project aimed at finding additional new revenue growth from its existing core technologies and expertise. It has engaged an external third party to assist in this process and I hope to be able to update the market on the outcomes by mid 2020.

Our relationship with our partners remains very strong and in particular our relationship with Thales has strengthened since the acquisition of Gemalto. I thank the Thales team for their continued enthusiasm, support and sales effort over the past 12 months.

We remain very excited about our investment in Votiro of which Andrew Wilson will explain more shortly.

I am very confident about Senetas' future and its growth opportunities.

Thank you for supporting Senetas.

I now introduce you to our CEO Andrew Wilson.

Francis Galbally, Chairman
