Where more than one proxy is appointed, each must be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the shareholders voting rights. If the Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

Further details on these changes are set out below.

  • 5 Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

  • 6 Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

    • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

    • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

  • 7 The instrument appointing the proxy must be in writing, executed by the appointor or their attorney duly authorised in writing or, if such appointor is a corporation, either under seal or under hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised.

  • 8 The instrument of proxy (and the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed) must be lodged by person, post, courier or facsimile and reach the registered office of the Company at least 48 hours prior to the meeting – proxies lodged after this time will be invalid. For the convenience of Shareholders a Proxy Form is enclosed.

  • 9 Where a voting exclusion applies, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides, or it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.

  • 10 For the purposes of regulations 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations, the Company determines that members holding ordinary shares at 11.00 am (Australian Western Standard Time) on Tuesday 6 March 2012 will be entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy' Form

a. A Shareholder of the Company who is entitled to attend and cast two or more votes at a general meeting of Shareholders is entitled to appoint two proxies. When more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the members voting rights. If the Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

b. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.

c. Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  • (i) directors of the company;

  • (ii) a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  • (iii) for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

d. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

e. Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.

f. A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
