+Rule 3.10.3
Appendix 3B
Proposed issue of +securities
Information and documents given to ASX become ASX’s property and may be made public.
If you are an entity incorporated outside Australia and you are proposing to issue a new class of +securities other than CDIs, you will need to obtain and provide an International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) for that class. For offers where the +securities proposed to be issued are in an existing class of security, and the event timetable includes rights (or entitlement for nonrenounceable issues), and deferred settlement trading or a representation of such, ASX requires the issuer to advise ASX of the ISIN code for the rights (or entitlement), and deferred settlement trading. This code will be different to the existing class. If the securities do not rank equally with the existing class, the same ISIN code will be used for that security to continue to be quoted while it does not rank.
Further information on the requirement for the notification of an ISIN is available from the Create Online Forms page. ASX is unable to create the new ISIN for non-Australian issuers.
*Denotes minimum information required for first lodgement of this form, with exceptions provided in specific notes for certain questions. The balance of the information, where applicable, must be provided as soon as reasonably practicable by the entity.

Listing rule 7.2 exception 5 can only be used once in any 12 month period and only applies where: • the +security purchase plan satisfies the conditions in ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 or would otherwise satisfy those conditions but for the fact that the entity’s securities have been suspended from trading on ASX for more than a total of 5 days during the 12 months before the day on which the offer is made under the plan or, if the securities have been quoted on ASX for less than 12 months, during the period of quotation; • the number of +securities to be issued under the SPP must not be greater than 30% of the number of fully paid +ordinary securities already on issue; and • the issue price of the +securities must be at least 80% of the +volume weighted average market price for +securities in that +class, calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the +securities were recorded, either before the day on which the issue was announced or before the day on which the issue was made. Please note that the offer of securities under the plan also will not meet the requirements of listing rule 10.12 exception 4, meaning that parties referred to in listing rule 10.11.1 to 10.11.5 will need to obtain security holder approval under listing rule 10.11 to participate in the offer. |

|---|---|---|
| Question No. |
Question | Answer |
| 6B.1 | *Class of +securities to be offered under the +information memorandum (please enter both the ASX security code & description) |
Non-quoted hybrid securities in the form of fully paid, direct, unconditional, unsecured, subordinated and convertible notes due 21 June 2082 (“Subordinated Notes”) |
| 6B.2 | *The number of +securities to be offered under the +information memorandum If the number of securities proposed to be issued is based on a formula linked to a variable (for example, VWAP or an exchange rate or interest rate), include the number of securities based on the variable as at the date the Appendix 3B is lodged with ASX and add a note in the “Any other information the entity wishes to provide about the proposed offer” field at the end of this form making it clear that this number is based on the variable as at the date of the Appendix 3B and that it may change. |
15,000 Subordinated Notes. If the Subordinated Notes are Converted in accordance with the Conditions, then on the Conversion Date the Issuer will allot and issue to each relevant Noteholder ordinary shares in the Issuer (“Shares”) equal to the Conversion Number in respect of each Subordinated Note required to be Converted. The Conversion formula contains two variables – the VWAP and the Conversion Discount – which means it is not possible to determine, at the date of this form, the number of Shares that will be issued on any Conversion. The Conversion Discount will be 2% unless each Sustainability Performance Target has been met as at the applicable SPT Test Date, in which case the Conversion Discount will be 1%. Assuming Conversion of the Subordinated Notes on the date of this Appendix 3B at the VWAP of $34.4705, the number of Shares that would be issued would be 4,440,354, unless each SPT has been met as at the applicable SPT Test Date, in which case the number of Shares that would be issued would be 4,395,501. *In determining the number of Shares each Noteholder would receive on Conversion, fractions of Shares will be disregarded. In calculating this figure (i.e. the aggregate maximum number of Shares), the fraction on the aggregate number was disregarded, meaning that this figure is slightly higher than the actual number of Shares which would be issued assuming a VWAP of $34.4705. The calculation also assumed that any accrued and deferred interest would be paid in cash. |
| 6B.3 | *Will the offer be conditional on applications for a minimum number of +securities being received or a minimum amount being raised (i.e. a minimum subscription condition)? |
No |
| 6B.3a | *Describe the minimum subscription condition Answer this question if your response to Q6B.3 is “Yes”. |

2.8 Ranking of the Subordinated Notes
-
(a) The claims of Noteholders as creditors of the Issuer are subordinated to the claims of Issuer Senior Creditors in that if at any time an Insolvency Event occurs in relation to the Issuer (other than for the purposes of a Solvent Reconstruction of the Issuer), repayment of the Outstanding Principal Amount is subordinated and the amount payable by the Issuer to a Noteholder under or in relation to such Noteholder’s Subordinated Notes (in lieu of any other payment by the Issuer to such Noteholder under or in relation to the Subordinated Notes, including pursuant to these Conditions or the Note Deed Poll), shall be limited to the amount that would have been payable to such Noteholder if, immediately prior to and throughout any process which follows such Insolvency Event, such Noteholder was the holder of Notional Preference Shares in the Issuer.
-
(b) For the purposes only of that calculation, a Noteholder will be deemed to hold one preference share of A$1.00 each in the capital of the Issuer ranking equally with the Notional Preference Shares for each A$1.00 of the Outstanding Principal Amount and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon (including any Deferred Interest Amount) plus any other amount that would otherwise be payable to that Noteholder under these Conditions.

Subordination of the Subordinated Guarantee
-
(a) The claims of Noteholders as creditors of the Guarantor are subordinated to the claims of Guarantor Senior Creditors in that if at any time an Insolvency Event occurs in relation to the Guarantor (other than for the purposes of a Solvent Reconstruction of the Guarantor), the amount payable by the Guarantor to a Noteholder under or in relation to the Subordinated Guarantee, shall be the amount that would have been payable to such Noteholder if, immediately prior to and throughout any process which follows such Insolvency Event, such Noteholder was the holder of Notional Preference Shares in the Guarantor.
-
(b) For the purposes only of that calculation, a Noteholder will be deemed to hold one preference share of A$1.00 each in the capital of the Guarantor ranking equally with the Notional Preference Shares in the Guarantor for each A$1.00 of the relevant Guaranteed Amounts in respect of the relevant Subordinated Note. The amount payable to a Noteholder under this Condition by the Guarantor will only be paid after the debts owing to the Guarantor Senior Creditors have been paid in full and will not entitle the Noteholder to receive (in aggregate with any amount received from the Issuer) an aggregate amount greater than the Guaranteed Amounts owing to such Noteholder.

Interest ceases to accrue on the Subordinated Note from (and including) the date on which the Subordinated Note is redeemed or Converted in full unless default is made in the payment of any principal amount in respect of such Subordinated Note. In that event, any overdue principal continues to bear interest at the last applicable Interest Rate, both before and after any judgment, until it is paid in full to the relevant Noteholder.

Notwithstanding the requirement to give notice pursuant to this Condition 4.3(a), failure to give such notice shall not prejudice the right of the Issuer to defer the payment of any Interest Amount (including any Additional Amount and any Deferred Interest Amount) pursuant to this Condition 4.3(a).
-
(b) If the Issuer determines that an Interest Amount (or part thereof) will not be paid on an Optional Interest Payment Date under paragraph (a) (a Deferred Interest Amount ), it will not be immediately due and payable on that Optional Interest Payment Date, but will become due and payable, and must be paid, on the next Interest Payment Date in accordance with Condition 4.2 unless deferred again in accordance with this Condition 4.3 or paid earlier under Condition 4.6.
page 23
100742842

(a) at the same Interest Rate as is, at any time, applicable to the Subordinated Notes; and
-
(b) from (and including) the date on which (but for such deferral) the Deferred Interest Amount payment would otherwise have been due to (but excluding) the date the Deferred Interest Amount payment is actually paid,
and will be added to the Deferred Interest Amount (and thereafter accumulate additional interest accordingly) on each Interest Payment Date. Each Deferred Interest Amount and additional interest thereon will be payable in accordance with this Condition 4.
4.5 Restrictions in the event of deferral of payment of an Interest Amount
If a Deferred Interest Amount has not been paid in full by the date which is 20 Business Days following the Interest Payment Date on which it would otherwise have been due, neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor will:
-
(a) declare or pay any dividend, interest or distribution on any of its Parity Obligations or Obligor Shares (other than payments made on any Parity Obligations pro rata with payments made on the Subordinated Notes or which the Issuer or the Guarantor or the subsidiary which issued such Parity Obligation (as the case may be) does not have the discretion to defer or not pay, or a dividend already declared in respect of Obligor Shares at or prior to the time that some or all of an Interest Payment is deferred under Condition 4.3 or, in the case of the Guarantor, a dividend or other payment to be declared for or paid to the Issuer); or
-
(b) redeem, reduce, cancel, purchase or buyback (or procure the redemption, reduction, cancellation, purchase or buyback of) any of its Parity Obligations or Obligor Shares (other than redemptions of any Parity Obligations which the Issuer or the Guarantor or the subsidiary which issued such Parity Obligation (as the case may be) does not have the discretion to defer or not effect),
until the date on which all Deferred Interest Amounts or Guaranteed Amounts have been paid in full.
The restrictions above do not apply to a buyback, capital reduction or purchase in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement.
4.6 Payment of Deferred Interest Amounts
-
(a) Subject to Condition 4.6(b), the Issuer may elect to pay any Deferred Interest Amount at any time on giving at least 5 but not more than 15 Business Days’ prior notice to Noteholders, the Registrar and each Agent.

4.7 Increase in Interest Rate upon Change of Control Event
-
(a) Unless an irrevocable notice to redeem all Subordinated Notes has been given to Noteholders by the Issuer under Condition 8.4 within 15 Business Days following the first occurrence of a Change of Control Event, the then prevailing Interest Rate will increase once by 5.00% per annum ( Change of Control Stepup ) with effect from (and including) the fifteenth Business Day following the date on which that Change of Control Event occurred ( Change of Control Step-up Date ).
-
(b) Where the Change of Control Step-up Date falls in an Interest Period, the Interest Payment for that Interest Period will be increased to reflect the Interest Rate applicable to the days remaining in that Interest Period on and from that date.
-
(c) The occurrence of the Change of Control Event and of the Change of Control Step-up will be notified by the Issuer to the Noteholders, the Registrar and each other Agent no later than the Change of Control Step-up Date.
-
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Interest Rate will not increase by reason of any Change of Control Event which occurs subsequent to the first Change of Control Event resulting in a Change of Control Step-up under paragraph (a).
4.8 Calculation of Interest Amount
On and from the Issue Date, the Interest Amount must be calculated by the Calculation Agent by applying the applicable Interest Rate to the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Subordinated Note, multiplying such sum by the relevant Day Count Fraction for the Interest Period and rounding (with halves being rounded up) the resultant figure to the nearest cent.
4.9 Notification of Interest Rate and Interest Amount
-
(a) The Calculation Agent will notify the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Registrar and each other Agent of the Interest Rate, Floating Rate, the Interest Amount and the relevant Interest Payment Date.
-
(b) Notice is to be given as soon as practicable after the Calculation Agent makes the relevant determination. However, notice of the Interest Rate, the Interest Amount and the relevant Interest Payment Date is to be given by the fourth day of the relevant Interest Period.
-
(c) The Calculation Agent may amend its determination of any amount, item or date (or make appropriate alternative arrangements by way of adjustment) as a result of the extension or reduction of the Interest Period or calculation period without prior notice but must notify the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Registrar and each other Agent after doing so.
page 25

4.10 Notification, etc. to be final
Except as provided in Condition 4.9, all notifications, opinions, determinations, certificates, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of this Condition 4 by the Calculation Agent are (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest or proven error) binding on the Issuer, the Issuing and Paying Agent, the Registrar, each other Agent and all Noteholders and no liability to the Noteholders attaches to the Calculation Agent in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, duties and discretions or to the Issuer in connection with any direction to the Calculation Agent for the appointment of an Alternate Financial Institution in the circumstances contemplated under the definition of BBSW Rate.

-
(i) its determination of whether accrued (but unpaid) interest, Additional Amounts and Deferred Interest Amounts (if any) (calculated to (and including) the relevant Noteholder Optional Conversion Date) in respect of any Subordinated Notes to be Converted under Condition 6 on that Noteholder Optional Conversion Date will be settled by it in cash or in Shares upon Conversion; and

-
(b) Following the Issuer’s notification under Condition 5.1(a), a Noteholder may at its option give a written notice to the Issuer (a Conversion Notice ) requesting that all (but not some only) of its Subordinated Notes be Converted on the relevant Noteholder Optional Conversion Date (being the Conversion Date in respect of such Subordinated Notes) in accordance with and subject to Condition 5.2.

5.4 Failure to Convert
-
(a) If, on the applicable Conversion Date for a Subordinated Note, the Conversion Number of Shares is not issued or delivered in respect of the Subordinated Note, that Subordinated Note shall remain on issue and any interest (including any Additional Amount, any Deferred Interest Amount and any additional interest accrued thereon not otherwise paid in cash in accordance with the Issuer’s election under Condition 5.1(a)) shall continue to accrue until such time as the Shares are issued to the Noteholder (which date shall be deemed to be the applicable Conversion Date in respect of that Subordinated Note) or the Subordinated Note is redeemed or purchased in accordance with Condition 8, or Converted.
-
(b) Condition 5.4(a) does not affect the obligation of the Issuer to issue or deliver Shares when it is required to do so in accordance with these Conditions.

page 27
100742842
6 Conversion mechanics
6.1 Conversion
On the applicable Conversion Date for a Subordinated Note, subject to Condition 6.7 (“Issue of Shares to Nominee”), the following will apply:
- (a) The Issuer will allot and issue the Conversion Number of Shares in respect of the Subordinated Note required to be Converted on that Conversion Date to the relevant Noteholder or as contemplated in Condition 6.7. The “ Conversion Number ” for the Subordinated Note is calculated according to the following formula:
Conversion Number = Nominal Amount
(100% - Conversion Discount) × VWAP
where:
“ Conversion Discount ” means 2%, unless each Sustainability Performance Target has been met as at the applicable SPT Test Date, in which case the Conversion Discount will be 1%;
- “ Nominal Amount ” means the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Subordinated Note to be Converted on that Conversion Date as set out in the Conversion Notice, together with, unless the Issuer has elected to settle such amounts in cash, any accrued (but unpaid) interest, Additional Amount and any Deferred Interest Amount in respect of that Subordinated Note (calculated to (and including) the applicable Conversion Date); and
“ VWAP ” means the VWAP during the VWAP Period.
-
(b) Each Noteholder’s rights in relation to each Subordinated Note that is being Converted in accordance with Condition 5.1 will be immediately and irrevocably terminated for an amount equal to the Nominal Amount and the Issuer will apply the Nominal Amount of each Subordinated Note by way of payment for the subscription for the Shares to be allotted and issued under Condition 6.1(a). Each Noteholder is taken to have irrevocably directed that any amount payable under this Condition 6.1 is to be applied as provided for in this Condition 6.1 and Noteholders do not have any right to payment in any other way.
-
(c) If the total number of Shares to be allotted and issued in respect of a Noteholder’s aggregate holding of Subordinated Notes includes a fraction of a Share, that fraction of a Share will be disregarded and the relevant Noteholder shall have no rights whatsoever in respect of that fraction.
-
(d) The VWAP is to be determined by or on behalf of the Issuer.
6.2 Adjustments to VWAP generally
For the purposes of calculating VWAP under Condition 6.1:
- (a) where, on some or all of the Trading Days in the relevant VWAP Period, Shares have been quoted on ASX as cum dividend or cum any other distribution or entitlement and Subordinated Notes will be Converted into Shares after that date and those Shares will no longer carry that dividend or any other distribution or entitlement, the VWAP on the Trading Days on which those Shares have been
page 28
100742842
quoted cum dividend or cum any other distribution or entitlement will be reduced by an amount (Cum Value) equal to:
-
(i) in the case of a dividend or other distribution, the amount of that dividend or other distribution including, if the dividend or other distribution is franked, the amount that would be included in the assessable income of a recipient of the dividend or other distribution who is both a resident of Australia and a natural person under the Tax Act;
-
(ii) in the case of any other entitlement that is not a dividend or other distribution under Condition 6.2(a)(i) which is traded on ASX on any of those Trading Days, the volume weighted average sale price of all such entitlements sold on ASX during the VWAP Period on the Trading Days on which those entitlements were traded; or
-
(iii) in the case of any other entitlement which is not traded on ASX during the VWAP Period, the value of the entitlement as reasonably determined by the Issuer;
-
(b) where, on some or all of the Trading Days in the VWAP Period, Shares have been quoted on ASX as ex dividend or ex any other distribution or entitlement, and Subordinated Notes will be Converted into Shares which would be entitled to receive the relevant dividend, distribution or entitlement, the VWAP on the Trading Days on which those Shares have been quoted ex dividend or ex any other distribution or entitlement will be increased by the Cum Value;
-
(c) any adjustment made by the Issuer in accordance with this Condition 6.2 will be effective and binding on Noteholders under these Conditions and will be construed accordingly; and
-
(d) the Issuer must notify the Noteholders promptly of a corporate action that it reasonably expects will give rise to an adjustment to the VWAP required to be made in accordance with this Condition 6.
6.3 Adjustments to VWAP for Reorganisation
- (a) Where during the relevant VWAP Period there is a change to the number of Shares on issue as a result of a Reorganisation, in calculating the VWAP for the VWAP Period, the VWAP for each Trading Day in the relevant VWAP Period which falls before the date on which trading in those Shares is conducted on a post Reorganisation basis shall be adjusted by multiplying the applicable VWAP by the following formula:
A
B
where:
-
“ A ” means the aggregate number of Shares on issue immediately before the Reorganisation; and
-
“ B ” means the aggregate number of Shares on issue immediately after the Reorganisation.
-
(b) Any adjustment made by the Issuer in accordance with this Condition 6.2 will be effective and binding on Noteholders under these Conditions and these Conditions will be construed accordingly.
page 29
100742842
- (c) Each Noteholder acknowledges that the Issuer may consolidate, divide or reclassify securities so that there is a lesser or greater number of Shares at any time in its absolute discretion without any such action constituting a modification or variation of rights or privileges of Noteholders or otherwise requiring the consent or concurrence of any person.
6.4 Status of Shares
Shares issued upon Conversion (if any) of a Subordinated Note will be issued fully paid in consideration of the application of the Nominal Amount of the Subordinated Note the subject of Conversion in accordance with Condition 6.1 and will rank equally with all other fully paid Shares on issue at the time of such Conversion (other than in respect of any entitlement the record date for which falls prior to such time).
6.5
Listing Shares issued on Conversion
The Issuer must use reasonable endeavours to:
-
(a) list the Shares issued upon Conversion on ASX;
-
(b) procure that the Shares issued upon Conversion are able to be freely traded after their issue date on ASX in compliance with all requirements of the Corporations Act, all other applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules without requirement for further disclosure or other action by any Noteholder or persons to whom its Shares are issued (except in case of applicable law other than Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act, to the extent that a restriction on trading is attributable to the particular circumstances of the Noteholder and is not otherwise within the control of the Issuer (as applicable)); and
-
(c) the Noteholder agrees not to trade Shares issued on Conversion (except as permitted by the Corporations Act, other applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules) until the Issuer has taken such steps as are required by the Corporations Act, other applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules for the Shares to be freely tradeable without such further disclosure or other action and may impose a holding lock or refuse to register a transfer in respect of Shares until such time. The Issuer will promptly notify Noteholders when this restriction on trading ceases to apply.
6.6 Provision of information
Where a Noteholder has elected to require the Conversion of all of its Subordinated Notes in accordance with Condition 5, a Noteholder wishing to receive Shares must, in the Conversion Notice, have provided to the Issuer (which notice shall be irrevocable):
-
(a) its name and address (or the name and address of any person in whose name it directs the Shares to be issued) for entry into any register of title and receipt of any certificate or holding statement in respect of any Shares;
-
(b) the Noteholder’s security account details in CHESS or such other account to which the Shares may be credited;
-
(c) such other information as is reasonably requested by the Issuer for the purposes of enabling the Issuer to issue the Conversion Number of Shares to the Noteholder or for the purposes of determining whether any circumstance referred to in Condition 6.7 apply in relation to the Conversion and such evidence as the
page 30
100742842
Issuer may require to establish the entitlement of the Noteholder and that the issue of the Conversion Number of Shares to or as directed by the Noteholder will not contravene any applicable laws; and

9 Payments
9.1 Payments to Noteholders
All payments under a Subordinated Note must be made by the Issuer or the relevant Issuing and Paying Agent on its behalf by crediting, on the relevant Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or other date on which a payment is due, the amount then due to the account of the Noteholder, in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations, without set-off or counterclaim or any other deduction unless required by law.

A person (who may, but need not, be a Noteholder) nominated in writing by the Issuer or the Guarantor must take the chair at every such meeting but if no such nomination is made or if at any meeting the person nominated is not present within 15 minutes after the time fixed for the holding of such meeting or is unable or unwilling to chair the meeting, the person or persons present in person holding Subordinated Notes or being proxies must choose one of their number to be chairman. The chairman of an adjourned meeting need not be the same person as was the chairman of the original meeting.
6 Quorum
- (a) At any such meeting any one or more persons present in person holding Subordinated Notes or being proxies representing in aggregate at least the proportion of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes, as specified in the table in paragraph (b) below for the relevant type of resolution, form a quorum for the transaction of business and no business (other than the choosing of a chairman) may be transacted at any meeting unless the requisite quorum is present at the commencement of business.
(b) If within 15 minutes from the time appointed for any such meeting a quorum is not present the meeting will, if convened on the requisition of Noteholders, be dissolved. In any other case, it will stand adjourned for such period, not being less than 14 days nor more than 42 days and to such time and place, as the chairman determines. At such adjourned meeting, the quorum is one or more persons present in person holding Subordinated Notes or being proxies and holding or representing in the aggregate at least the proportion of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes, as specified in the table in this paragraph for the relevant type of resolution.

(c) The chairman may, with the consent of (and must if directed by) the Noteholders present, adjourn such meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business may be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might validly have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.
-
(d) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by each Noteholder at least 10 days' notice (exclusive of the day on which the notice is given and of the day on which the meeting is to be resumed) of any meeting adjourned because of lack of a quorum must be given in the same manner as of an original meeting and such notice must state the quorum required at such adjourned meeting. If a meeting is adjourned other than for lack of a quorum, it is not necessary to give any notice of an adjourned meeting.
7 Right to Attend and Speak
The Issuing and Paying Agent, the Registrar, the Issuer, the Guarantor (in each case through their respective representatives) and their respective financial and legal advisers and the chairman are entitled to attend and speak at any meeting of Noteholders. Otherwise, no person may attend or vote at any meeting of Noteholders or join with others in requesting the convening of such a meeting unless that person is the Noteholder or is a proxy.
8 Voting
-
(a) Every question submitted to a meeting will be decided in the first instance by a show of hands and in the case of equality of votes the chairman has, both on a show of hands and on a poll, a casting vote in addition to the vote or votes (if any) to which the chairman may be entitled as a Noteholder.
-
(b) At any meeting, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by the chairman or the Issuer or by one or more persons holding one or more of the Subordinated Notes or being proxies and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than 2% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried by a particular majority or lost or not
page 52
100742842
==> picture [113 x 49] intentionally omitted <==
carried by any particular majority is conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.
-
(c) If at any meeting a poll is so demanded, it must be taken in such manner and (subject to paragraph (d)) either at once or after such adjournment as the chairman directs. The result of such poll is deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded as at the date of the taking of the poll. The demand for a poll does not prevent the continuance of the meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll has been demanded.
-
(d) Any poll demanded at any meeting on the election of a chairman or on any question of adjournment must be taken at the meeting without adjournment.
-
(e) A person named in any form of proxy need not be a Noteholder.
-
(f) Each form of proxy, together (if so required by the Registrar) with proof satisfactory to the Registrar of its due execution, must be deposited at the Specified Office in Australia of the Registrar not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the proxy named in the form of proxy proposes to vote, failing which the form of proxy may not be treated as valid unless the chairman of the meeting decides otherwise before the meeting or adjourned meeting proceeds to business. A certified copy of each form of proxy and satisfactory proof of due execution (if applicable) must, if required by the Registrar, be produced by the proxy at the meeting or adjourned meeting but the Registrar is not obliged to investigate or be concerned with the validity of, or the authority of the proxy named in, any form of proxy.
-
(g) Any vote given in accordance with the terms of a form of proxy will be valid despite the previous revocation or amendment of the form of proxy or any instructions of the Noteholder under which it was executed, unless notice in writing of such revocation or amendment has been received from the Noteholder who has executed such form of proxy at the Specified Office of the Registrar not less than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the form of proxy is used.
-
(h) The registered holder of a Subordinated Note or, in the case of the joint holder, the person whose name first appears on the Register as one of the holders, is entitled to vote in respect of the Subordinated Note either in person or by proxy or by representative.
-
(i) Subject to paragraph (a), at a meeting convened for the purpose of considering a resolution:
-
(i) on a show of hands every person who is present and holds a Subordinated Note or is a proxy has one vote; and
-
(ii) on a poll every person who is present and holds a Subordinated Note or is a proxy has one vote in respect of each Australian Dollar of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes which that person holds or in respect of which that person is a proxy.
Without affecting the obligations of the proxies named in any form of proxy, any person entitled to more than one vote need not use all votes or cast all the votes to which that person is entitled in the same way.
