Instructions for Completing Appointment of Proxy Form
-
In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, 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. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.
-
A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.
-
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:
-
2 directors of the company;
-
a director and a company secretary of the company; or
-
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 sections 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with sections 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 sections 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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
In accordance with section 250BA of the Corporations Act the Company specifies the following for the purposes of receipt of proxy appointments: Registered Office: 53 Canning Highway, Victoria Park, Western Australia, 6100
Fax Number: +61 (8) 9361 3184
