Proxy Form

How to complete this proxy form

If you are unable to attend the General Meeting to be held in Melbourne on Thursday 20 January 2022 at 6:00 pm (Melbourne time), you are encouraged to appoint a person or body corporate who will attend as your proxy and exercise your right to vote your shares. If you appoint a body corporate as your proxy, the body corporate should appoint a person as its representative at the General Meeting in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act 2001.

Appointment of a second proxy

A shareholder entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint up to two proxies (whether shareholders or not) to attend the meeting and vote. A separate proxy form should be used for each proxy appointment.

Directing your proxy how to vote

If you wish to direct your proxy how to vote (or to abstain from voting) on any resolution, place a mark ("X") in the "For", "Against" or "Abstain" box for each resolution.

If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid. If you mark the "Abstain" box for a particular resolution, you are directing your proxy not to vote on your behalf and your votes will not be counted in computing the required majority.

Signing Instructions

You must sign this proxy form as follows in the spaces provided: Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the proxy form must be signed by the shareholder or the shareholder's attorney. Joint holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the shareholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: To sign under Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged the Power of Attorney with the Share Registrar for notation. If you have not previously lodged this document for notation, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this proxy form when you return it.

Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this proxy form must be signed by that person. If the company (in accordance with section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone. Otherwise this proxy 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.

If a representative of a company shareholder or a company proxy is to attend the meeting the appropriate "Appointment of Corporate Representative Form" should be given to the Share Registrar prior to the meeting (unless it has previously been given to the Share Registrar). This form may be obtained from the Share Registrar.
