Legal process overviewResolutions put to State/Territory AGMs / EGMs to

• Approve the AusCycling constitution

• Authorise the transfer of all business and assets from Member State/Territory to AusCycling on or immediately after the transfer of NSO’s business and assets to AusCycling

• Approve voluntary cancellation of the entity following transfer of business and assets to AusCycling

• Resolutions are conditional. They are subject to, and only become effective upon, the relevant NSO also passing resolutions to transfer its business and assets to AusCycling

• Approval by special resolution (75% of the voting members of the State/Territory who vote)

Matching resolutions then put to NSO AGMs / EGMs

• Approval thresholds are 6 of 8 Members States for CA/BMXA and 75% of members voting for MTBA

Business transfer agreements between AusCycling and NSOs include obligation by AusCycling to provide services to individual members that were previously provided by the NSOs.

Pre-existing entities then undertake voluntary cancellation process which primarily involves lodging paperwork prescribed by the regulator

Business transfer agreements entered into between all entities and AusCycling. These agreements address

• What is transferring. Transfer will include novation of existing contracts including employment contracts

• When assets transfer

• Arrangements between signing and completion

Implications of a ‘No’ Vote – Lost Opportunities

• No single licence

• Licence costs remain the same or increase

• Lost efficiencies as duplication remains

• No infrastructure team

• Limited capacity for lobbying for rider safety

• Capacity to capture material sponsorship remains limited

• Cycling’s voice in the community and with Government remains divided and easy to ignore

• Financial capacity of ‘cycling system’ weaker by $2.5m

• Maintain fragmentation and confusion for riders and potential new participants

• Limited career pathways for staff remain
