How to Vote on Items of Business
All your shares will be voted in accordance with your directions.
Appointment of Proxy
If you do not plan to attend the meeting, you may appoint a proxy. To do this, enter the name of your proxy in the space allocated in ‘Step 1’ of this form.
Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote as they choose. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
Appointing the Chairman or any other director as your proxy
The Chairman of the meeting, or any other Chorus director, is willing to act as proxy for any shareholder who wishes to appoint her or him to vote on their behalf. To appoint the Chairman of the meeting or a director as your proxy enter ‘the Chairman’ or the name of the director you wish to appoint in the space allocated in ‘Step 1’ of this form.
If, in appointing a proxy, you have inadvertently not named someone to be your proxy, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman of the meeting will be your proxy and will vote in accordance with your express direction.
Direct the Chairman, or other director, how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box the Chairman, or other director, as your proxy, will vote in favour of the resolution even if they have an interest in that resolution. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
The Chairman and the other Chorus directors are not prepared to speak at the Annual Meeting on behalf of a shareholder who appoints them as that shareholder’s proxy. If you wish to be heard at the meeting you should either attend in person or appoint a proxy for that purpose, other than the Chairman or other Chorus director.
Attending the Meeting
Bring this form to assist registration. If a representative of a corporate shareholder or proxy is to attend the meeting you will need to provide the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission.
Signing Instructions for Postal Proxies
Individual
Where the holding is in one name, the shareholder must sign.
Joint Holding
At least one joint security holder should sign this form (on behalf of all joint security holders). If different joint security holders purport to appoint different proxies, the vote of the proxy appointed by the first named joint security holder will prevail.
