Voting Instructions

Voting At The Meeting

  1. If you are able to attend at the meeting, on a show of hands each Shareholder present may cast one vote. ‘Shareholder present’ includes a person present as a proxy, attorney or body corporate representative. However, if a Shareholder holds 2 or more appointments and these appointments direct the proxy to vote in different ways, then the proxy cannot vote on a show of hands.

  2. On a poll, Shareholders have one vote for every fully paid Share held.

  3. LandMark White has determined that for the purpose of voting at the meeting or adjourned meeting, Shares will be taken to be held by those persons recorded in the LandMark White register of Shareholders as at 9.00 am (Sydney Time) 29 October 2007.

Appointment of Proxy (Section 249L(d))

  1. If you are a Shareholder, and you are unable to attend and vote at the meeting, and wish to appoint a proxy, please complete and return the enclosed proxy form. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of LandMark White.

  3. A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast more than 2 votes at the meeting is entitled to appoint no more than 2 proxies to attend and vote in their stead. Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy should be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the Shareholder’s voting rights. Failure to apportion voting rights will result in each proxy being entitled to vote half of the Shareholder’s votes.

  4. The form must be signed personally by the Shareholder or their attorney. A corporation must sign under its common seal or under the hand of a duly authorised person or persons.

  5.

Explanatory Notes

Financial Statements and Reports

The Corporations Act 2001 requires the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Audit Report to be laid before the Annual General Meeting. In addition LandMark White’s constitution provides for such reports to be received and considered at the meeting. Apart from the matters involving remuneration which are required to be voted upon, neither the Corporations Act 2001 nor LandMark White’s constitution requires shareholders to vote on such reports.

However shareholders will be given ample opportunity to ask questions or make comments about these reports and the management at the meeting. Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor’s report. In addition to asking questions at the meeting, shareholders may address written questions to the Company’s Auditor which are relevant to:

  • the content of the Auditor’s Report to be considered at the meeting; or

  • the conduct of the audit of the annual financial report to be considered at the meeting.

Any written questions must be submitted to the Company Secretary before 9.00 am (Brisbane Time) 23 October 2007 by email, fax or post. Address details are:

PO Box 8708

GCMC QLD 9726

Email address: [email protected].

Fax Number: 07 5510 3200.

Copies of the questions received, and answers, will be available at the meeting.

- - Resolutions 1 and 2 Re election of David Hobart and Norman Craig as

3 Votes on Items of Business

You should direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business.
