Dear Shareholders,
Correction of Proxy Form for Notice of Shareholders’ Meeting
You were recently sent a Notice of Shareholders’ Meeting and Proxy Form.
Due to a printing error, the Proxy Form did not contain a place for Shareholders to sign. A new Proxy Form is enclosed which rectifies this issue.
Shareholders have the following options:
-
If you have not yet sent in a Proxy Form, please use the enclosed Proxy Form instead of the version sent to you previously.
-
If you sent in the previous version of the Proxy Form without signing it, it is invalid and your votes will not be counted . Please complete the enclosed Proxy Form and send it to the Company.
-
If you signed the previous version of the Proxy Form and sent it to the Company, please call the Company on 1300 762 678 or (08) 9214 9757 to check whether that Proxy Form was signed correctly. If:
-
that Proxy Form was signed correctly, it will be valid and you do not need to take any further action ; or
-
that Proxy Form was signed incorrectly, it is invalid and your votes will not be counted . In that case please complete the enclosed Proxy Form and send that to the Company. That will supersede the Proxy Form you previously sent in.
-
If you signed the previous version of the Proxy Form and sent it to the Company, but are unsure whether it was signed correctly, you also have the option of sending in the enclosed Proxy Form. That will supersede the Proxy Form you previously sent in.
We apologise to Shareholders for any inconvenience caused.

ANNEXURE TO PROXY FORM - INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING
1. Change of Address
Your pre-printed name and address is as it appears on the share register of Bentley International Limited. If this information is incorrect, please mark the box at Section C of the Proxy Form and make the correction at the top of the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. Please note that you cannot change ownership of your shares using this form.
- Annual Report Elections
The Australian Government has introduced legislation changing the default option for receiving annual reports. Companies are no longer required to mail out printed annual reports to shareholders. Instead, shareholders can now make an election as follows:
-
(a) make a written request for a hard copy annual report to be mailed to you; or
-
(b) make a written request for an electronic copy of the annual report to be emailed to you.
If you wish to update your annual report elections, please complete Section C of the Proxy Form.
-
Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the General Meeting.
-
A shareholder of the Company entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy must be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the shareholder’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment do not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.
-
A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
-
If you mark the abstain box for a particular item, you are directing your proxy not to vote on that item on a poll and that your shares are not to be counted in computing the required majority on a poll.
-
If a representative of a company shareholder is to attend the General Meeting, a properly executed original (or certified copy) of the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced for admission to the General Meeting. Previously lodged “Certificates of Appointment of Corporate Representative” will be disregarded by the Company.
-
If a representative as Power of Attorney of a shareholder is to attend the meeting, a properly executed original (or certified copy) of an appropriate Power of Attorney should be produced for admission to the General Meeting. Previously lodged Powers of Attorney will be disregarded by the Company.
9. Signing Instructions
You must sign this form as follows in the spaces provided in Section D : Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the holder must sign. Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the shareholders should sign. Power of Attorney: If you are signing under a Power of Attorney, you must lodge an original or certified photocopy of the appropriate Power of Attorney with your completed Proxy Form. Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person.
If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone.
Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.
