Notes :
Capitalised terms have the same meanings in this Notice of Meeting as in the Explanatory Statement accompanying this Notice of Meeting. These Notes should be read together with and form part of the Notice of Meeting.
Determination of entitlement to attend and vote
In accordance with section 1074E(2)(g)(i) of the Corporations Act and regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations, the Company has determined that for the purposes of the meeting all Shares will be taken to be held by the registered holders at 7.00pm Melbourne time on 11 October 2019. Accordingly, share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the meeting.
Proxies
If you do not plan to attend the Annual General Meeting, you are encouraged to complete and return a proxy form.
If you are a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote, you are entitled to appoint one or two proxies. Where two proxies are appointed, you may specify the number or proportion of votes that each may exercise, failing which each may exercise half of the votes. A proxy need not be a Shareholder. If you want to appoint one proxy, you can use the form provided. If you want to appoint two proxies, please follow the instructions on the proxy form.
The Company's constitution provides that on a show of hands, every person present and entitled to vote has one vote.
If you appoint a proxy who is also a Shareholder or is also a proxy for another Shareholder, your directions may not be effective on a show of hands. Your directions will be effective if a poll is taken on the relevant Resolution.
If you sign and return a proxy form and do not nominate a person to act as your proxy, the Chair will be appointed as your proxy by default.
Appointment of the Chair or other Key Management Personnel as your proxy
Due to the voting exclusions and requirements referred to in the Notice of Meeting and the Explanatory Statement, if you intend to appoint any Director or Key Management Personnel or their Closely Related Parties, other than the Chair, as your proxy, you should direct your proxy how to vote on the Resolution dealing with the adoption of the Remuneration Report by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the proxy form for the relevant item of business. If you do not direct such a proxy how to vote on that Resolution they will not be able to vote an undirected proxy and your vote will not be counted. This does not apply to the Chair, who is able to vote undirected proxies.
The Chair intends to vote any undirected proxy in favour of all Resolutions
You should note that if you appoint the Chair as your proxy, or the Chair is appointed your proxy by default, you will be taken to authorise the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.
If you wish, you can appoint the Chair as your proxy and direct the Chair to cast your votes contrary to the above stated voting intention or to abstain from voting on a Resolution. Simply mark your voting directions on the proxy form before you return it.
