Withdrawal of Item 8 (Amendments to Constitution) at 2021 Annual General Meeting

Brambles Limited advises that it has determined to withdraw Item 8 (Amendments to Constitution) referred to in the Notice of Meeting from consideration at its 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held at 4.00pm (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) on Tuesday 19 October 2021.

As Brambles’ current constitution had not been updated since 2010, it was proposed to amend it to reflect certain changes to corporate governance practice, the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, and to update certain legacy provisions and outdated terminology. Included in the proposed amendments was a provision to enable Brambles to hold shareholder meetings using virtual technology to the extent permitted by law. As some reservations have been expressed about companies holding virtual meetings, and the proposed amendments are not considered material, Brambles has decided to withdraw item 8.

The withdrawal of item 8 will have no material adverse impact on Brambles and will not affect the validity of proxy forms or any proxy or direct votes already submitted in respect of the remaining items of business. All other item of business included in the Notice of Meeting for the 2021 AGM will be put to shareholders at the meeting.
