EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Purpose of Information

This Explanatory Statement ( Statement ) accompanies and forms part of the Company’s Notice of Annual General Meeting ( Notice ) for the 2021 Annual General Meeting ( Meeting ).

The Notice incorporates, and should be read together, with this Statement.

Receipt and consideration of Accounts & Reports

A copy of the Annual Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2021 which incorporates the Company's Financial Report, reports of the Directors (including the Remuneration Report and the auditors) is not enclosed as there is no longer a requirement for the Company to incur the printing and distribution cost associated with doing so for all shareholders. You may obtain a copy free of charge in hard copy form by contacting the Company by phone at (03) 9692 7222, and you may request that this occurs on a standing basis for future years.

Alternatively, you may access the Annual Report at the Company's website: https://www.alcidion.com/ or via the Company’s announcement platform on ASX. Except for as set out in Resolution 1, no resolution is required on these reports.

Shareholders will have the opportunity to ask questions about or make comments on, the 2021 Annual Report and the management of the Company. The auditor will be invited to attend, to answer questions about the audit of the Company’s 2021 Annual Financial Statements.

Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report

Background

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report must be put to the vote at the Annual General Meeting. The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report in the Company’s June 2021 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.

In accordance with Section 250SA of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask questions concerning, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act, if twenty five (25%) per cent or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those Annual General Meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.

It is noted that at the Company’s last Annual General Meeting, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report represented less than twenty-five (25%) per cent of the total votes cast on that resolution and accordingly, a spill resolution will not under any circumstances be required for the Meeting.

The Directors will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.

Board Recommendation

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company (as such interests are described in the Remuneration Report) and, as described in the voting exclusions on this resolution (set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting), that each Director (or any Closely Related Party of a Director) is excluded from voting their shares on this resolution, the Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report.

Voting Exclusions

Refer to Note 7 for voting exclusions.

Voting Exclusions

Resolution 4: Ratification of Prior Issue of 48,000,000 Fully Paid Ordinary Shares

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the prior issue of 48,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares to professional and sophisticated investors under a share placement ( Placement ) in accordance with ASX announcement dated 15 April 2021. These shares were issued on 23 April 2021 ( Issue Date ) and an Appendix 2A in relation to this issue was lodged with the ASX on that same date.

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A allow the Company to issue new securities up to 25% of the existing capital of the Company in any 12-month period without the prior approval of Shareholders, unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 applies. The issue of Shares under the Share Purchase Plan, which was made using the Company’s 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, was within the Company's available placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and did not fit within any of the Listing Rule 7.2 exceptions.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company’s shareholders ratify the prior issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and/or Listing Rule 7.1A (provided that the previous issue of securities did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A) those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A (if applicable).

The prior issue of ordinary shares on 23 April 2021 continues to use the capacity of the Company to issue further securities without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date. The Company seeks approval under Listing Rule 7.4 to refresh its capacity to make further issues without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A (if applicable).

If shareholders pass this Resolution, then the shares issued on 23 April 2021 will no longer use the capacity of the Company under the Listing Rules and the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities using the refreshed placement capacity without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

If shareholders do not pass this Resolution, then the shares issued on 23 April 2021 will continue to use the capacity available to the Company under the Listing Rules effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to shareholders for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4:

  • (a) the securities were issued to professional and sophisticated investors, who are clients of the Company’s professional advisors;

  • (b) the number and class of securities issued were 48,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company; (c) the shares were issued on 23 April 2021;

  • (d) the shares were issued at an issue price of $0.32 (32 cents) per share;

  • (e) the purpose of the Placement was to provide funds to be used for the Company’s ExtraMed acquisition, growth / working capital and transaction costs and the funds raised were or will be used for those purposes.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Voting Exclusions

Refer to Note 7 for voting exclusions on this Resolution.

Resolution 5: Increase in maximum aggregate remuneration available to Non-Executive Directors

Background

In accordance with Clause 22.1 of the Constitution and Listing Rule 10.17, Shareholder approval is sought to increase the maximum aggregate amount of Directors’ fees per annum that may be paid by the Company to its Non-Executive Directors ( Fee Pool ) by $100,000, from $400,000 to a maximum of $500,000 per annum.

Under the Listing Rules, the term “directors’ fees” includes committee fees, superannuation contributions and fees which a director sacrifices for other benefits, but does not include reimbursement of genuine out-of-pocket expenses, genuine “special exertion” fees or securities issued to Non-Executive Directors with approval of Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules.

The Directors are seeking Shareholder approval to increase the Fee Pool for the following reasons:

  • As a result of the diversification of the Company over recent years, the Directors continue to review the size and composition of the Board. The increase in the Fee Pool will provide the Board with the ability to appoint additional Directors with the requisite skills and experience as appropriate; and

  • The increase will ensure that the Company maintains the ability to pay Non-Executive Directors remuneration at levels commensurate with market rates and as necessary to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre. The level of Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration is reviewed annually to ensure alignment with the market. The Directors are satisfied that the proposed Fee Pool will be within the average bands applying to companies within the Company’s industry that are of similar size, profitability, growth and risk profiles and that the proposed increase is appropriate for the reasons set out above.

Shareholders should note that, if the proposed Fee Pool is approved, it will not necessarily represent the full sum paid to Non-Executive Directors each financial year. The Company will in future continue to set the actual level of remuneration of its Non-Executive Directors within the Fee Pool, having regard to independent external advice, market practice, Board performance and other appropriate factors.

No securities have been issued to any Non-Executive Director of the Company under Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 at any time within the last 3 years.

Additional information regarding the remuneration paid to each Non-Executive Director for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 and the Company’s approach to the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors, is set out in the Remuneration Report.

Resolution 6: Refresh of the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan

Background

In November 2018 the Company refreshed its Equity Incentive Plan ( EIP ). The Board is committed to incentivising and retaining the Company’s Directors, employees and consultants in a manner which promotes alignment of their interests with shareholder interests. Additionally, the Board considers equity-based compensation an integral component of the Company’s remuneration platform as it allows it to be fiscally prudent by conserving cash resources while still enabling it to offer market-competitive remuneration arrangements.

The EIP is regarded as an employee incentive scheme for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2. A copy of the EIP will be provided without charge to shareholders on request.

Approval of the refresh of the Company’s EIP and any options or performance rights to be issued pursuant to the EIP is sought pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b). Further details relating to Listing Rules requirements are set out below.

The EIP is intended to enable participants to share in any increase in the Company’s value (as measured by the share price) beyond the date of allocation of the options. A summary of the EIP is set out later in these Explanatory Notes.

9

Any issue of shares under the EIP to Directors, or their associates, will still require approval by shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Listing Rules

Listing Rule 7.1 provides generally that a company may not issue shares or securities convertible into shares equal to more than 15% of the company's issued share capital in any consecutive 12 month period without obtaining prior shareholder approval, unless the issue fits into one of the exceptions contained in Listing Rule 7.2. Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b) effectively provides that securities issued pursuant to an employee incentive scheme are not included in the calculation of the 15% for Listing Rule 7.1 purposes provided the employee incentive scheme and the securities to be issued pursuant to the EIP have been approved by shareholders within the previous 3 years.

The Board intends that the issue of options and/or performance rights under the EIP continue to not be included when undertaking the calculation of the 15% limit pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking shareholder re-approval of the EIP in order that the issue of shares pursuant to the EIP will continue to qualify as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 under exception 13(b) to Listing Rule 7.2.

Corporations Act

Under sections 259B(2) and 260C(4) of the Corporations Act, if a company's employee share scheme is approved by a resolution passed at a general meeting of the company's shareholders, the company is able to provide financial assistance to a person in order to assist that person to acquire shares under the scheme, as well as take security over those shares to secure any repayments or amounts owing under the scheme.

Accordingly, to allow maximum flexibility and to avoid any technical Corporations Act issues, the Board is seeking approval of the EIP for the purposes of these sections.

Information required for Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b)

Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b) requires the following information to be provided to shareholders:

Options already issued

Since the Company’s refresh of its EIP in November 2018 the Company has not issued any options under the EIP.

Performance Rights already issued

Since the Company’s refresh of its EIP in November 2018 the Company has issued 9,648,134 performance rights under the EIP. A total of 981,341 performance rights issued under the EIP have been cancelled, lapsed or expired since being issued and no performance rights issued under the EIP have to date been exercised. Currently there are 8,667,793 performance rights on issue pursuant to the EIP.

Maximum number of Equity Securities to be issued under the ESOP

Approval is sought to issue up to 104 million Equity Securities (shares or options each conditionally entitling the applicable holder to one fully paid ordinary shares upon exercise or achievement of the applicable milestone). This number includes up to 52 million Equity Securities which the Company may issue to senior executives who are not Directors of the Company. Any additional issues under the Plan above that number would require further shareholder approval, unless the total number of securities issued does not exceed 5% of the then issued shares of the Company.

and Allotment
(a)
(b)
(c)
Dealing
(i)
Participants must not dispose of, grant (or attempt to grant) any security
interest in or over, or otherwise deal with (or attempt to dispose or deal with)
an Award unless: (A) in respect of a Share, it is in compliance with the terms
of the Offer and any Share vesting conditions; and (B) in respect of Options
and Performance Rights, the prior consent of the Board is obtained (which
consent may impose such terms and conditions on such assignment,
transfer, novation, encumbrance or disposal as the Board sees fit in its sole
and absolute discretion) or such assignment or transfer occurs by force of
law upon the death of a Participant to the Participant's legal personal
representative.
(ii) While the Shares are subject to any restrictions, the Board may do such
things it considers necessary and appropriate to enforce the restrictions,
including but not limited to imposing a holding lock on the Shares during
the relevant restriction period.

vesting conditions without the need for any action on the part of the
Participant.

circumstances of redundancy, mental illness, total and permanent disability,
terminal illness or death), or is dismissed from employment, engagement or
office for cause or poor performance, or ceases to be employed or engaged in
any other circumstance determined by the Board to be a “bad leaver” event:

a merger resulting in the current Shareholders being entitled to 50% or less of the
shares of the merged entity, a Group Company agreeing to sell a majority of its
business or assets or a determination of the Board that control of the Company has
or is likely to change), the Board may in its sole and absolute discretion determine

(a) determining that all or a portion of unvested Awards will vest;
(b) Event bringing forward the First Exercise Date; and/or
(c) reducing or waiving vesting conditions.

Shares, Options or Performance Rights within 30 business days;

and may reduce or waive vesting conditions. However, no variation to the terms
of exercise of an Option or Performance Right will be made without the consent
of the Participant if it would have a materially prejudicial effect on them, unless
introduced primarily to comply with the law, to correct manifest error or to enable
regulatory compliance.
(b) The Board may amend the terms of the Plan, provided that rights or entitlements
granted before the amendment shall not be materially reduced or materially
adversely affected without the prior written approval of the affected Participant.

Resolution 7: Approval of 10% Placement Facility

Background

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the Annual General Meeting (" 10% Placement Facility "). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is, at the date of this Notice, an eligible entity.

The Company is seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability, if required, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period (as described below) without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see below).

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without further shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1

This Resolution is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at this Meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

13

Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting. This means it requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative).

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue two classes of quoted Equity Securities, being Shares and Listed Options.

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an Annual General Meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12-month period after the date of the Annual General Meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of shares on issue at the commencement of the “relevant period” (which, for the Company, is the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement):

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2, other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • (B) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • (i) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • (ii) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • (i) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • (ii) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;

  • (D) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (E) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;

  • (F) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the relevant period.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

  • D is 10%

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

14

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer above).

(e) Nature of consideration for issue and Minimum Issue Price

The Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per security which must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting;

  • (iii) the time and date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

( 10% Placement Period ).

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (a) The period for which the Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A ( 10% Placement Period ) commences on the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained, being 17 November 2021, and expires on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained, being 17 November 2022;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting;

  • (iii) the time and date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (b) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (c) The purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of Equity Securities under rule 7.1A.2 may be used by the Company include to raise cash for:

  • (i) consideration for the acquisition(s) of the new assets and investments, including the expenses associated with such acquisition(s); and

  • (ii)

  • continued expenditure on the Company’s current business and/or general working capital.

  • (d) If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below (in the case of Listed Options, only if the Listed Options are exercised). Shareholders may also be exposed to economic risk and voting dilution, including the following:

15

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the market price of Shares as at 30 September 2021 ( Current Share Price ) and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • No Options (including any Listed Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) or other convertible securities are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;

  • The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

  • The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • The Current Share Price is $0.355 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 30 September 2021.

  • (e) The Company will compy with the disclore obligations under Listing Rule 7.1A(4) upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (f) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to relevant factors including, but not limited to, the following:

16

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders, subject to compliance with Listing Rule 10.11, and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

  • (g) The Company:

  • (i) has not issued, nor agreed to issue, any Equity Securities under Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) had not agreed, before the 12 month period referred to in the preceding paragraph, to issue any Equity Securities under Rule 7.1A.2 where such securities remain unissued as at the date of the Meeting.

This Resolution is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at this Meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

Directors Recommendations

The Directors of the Company believe that this Resolution is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Voting Exclusions

As at the date of dispatch of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 and, therefore, a voting exclusion statement is not required by Listing Rule 7.3A.7.

If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
