INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS
ELIGIBILITY TO VOTE
For the purpose of the Meeting, the Directors have determined that shares will be taken to be held by persons registered as shareholders of the Company as at 7:00 PM (Sydney time) on Tuesday, 23 October 2018.
PROXIES
Each shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the AGM may attend and vote by proxy. A shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote at the AGM on the shareholder’s behalf.
A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company, and may be either an individual or a body corporate. Where two proxies are appointed by a shareholder, the shareholder may specify the proportion or number of votes which each proxy is entitled to exercise on a poll. If the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the shareholder’s votes, each proxy may exercise one half of the votes (disregarding fractions) on a poll.
Due to the voting exclusions and requirements referred to in this Notice, if you intend to appoint any Director or other member of the Company’s ‘key management personnel’ (KMP) or their closely related parties, other than the Chairman, as your proxy, you should direct your proxy how to vote on Item 3 (Remuneration Report) by marking either “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the Proxy Form. If you do not direct such a proxy how to vote on Item 3 they will not be able to vote an undirected proxy and your vote will not be counted. This does not apply to the Chairman, who is able to vote undirected proxies.
Direction to Chairman: If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as proxy, the shareholder can direct the Chairman of the Meeting to vote for or against or to abstain from voting on a resolution, including Item 3 (Remuneration Report), by marking the appropriate box opposite the resolution on the Proxy Form. If a shareholder appoints the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy and does not direct the Chairman how to vote on Item 3, the shareholder will be giving the Chairman of the Meeting express authority to vote their shares as he sees fit on that resolution. The Chairman intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each of the proposed resolutions, including Item 3 (Remuneration Report) if a poll is called on the relevant resolution.
VOTING EXCLUSIONS
The Company will disregard any votes cast on Item 3 (Remuneration Report) as follows:
A vote must not be cast (in any capacity) on Item 3, and the Company will disregard any votes cast on Item 3:
-
by or on behalf of a KMP whose remuneration is included in the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2018 and their closely related parties[2] (such as close family members and any controlled companies); or
-
as proxy by a KMP on the date of the AGM and their closely related parties.
However, a person described above may cast a vote as a proxy for a person entitled to vote on Item 3:
-
in accordance with the directions on the proxy form (i.e. the person has specified how the proxy is to vote (For, Against or Abstain) on Item 3); or
-
if the person is the Chairman of the Meeting and is expressly authorised in the proxy form to exercise the proxy even though Item 3 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP for the Company.
PROXY DEADLINE
A Proxy Form and, if the Proxy Form is not signed by the shareholder, the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which the Proxy Form is signed (or a certified copy of that power of attorney or other authority), must be received by the Company at least 48 hours before the time for holding the Meeting – that is, by 10:00 AM (Sydney time) on Tuesday, 23 October 2018.

Securityholders may quote their Tax File Number (TFN), or Australian Business Number (ABN) if a business account, for this investment. Whilst there is no obligation to provide either a TFN or ABN, where it is not quoted we are required to deduct withholding tax at the highest marginal tax rate on any interest or on any unfranked portion of any dividend or distribution. Securityholders who wish to claim an exemption from quotation of their TFN should enter the exemption code for the pension or benefit they receive.
