Accordingly, Share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the meeting.

Proxies

If you are a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote, you have the right to appoint up to two proxies. If you are entitled to cast two or more votes and two proxies are appointed, you may specify the number or proportion of votes that each may exercise, failing which each may exercise half of the votes. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.

If you want to appoint one proxy, you can use the form provided. If you want to appoint two proxies, please follow the instructions on the proxy form.

The Company’s constitution provides that on a show of hands, every person present and entitled to vote has one vote.

If you appoint a proxy who is also a Shareholder or is also a proxy for another Shareholder, your directions may not be effective on a show of hands. Your directions will be effective if a poll is taken on the relevant Resolution.

If you sign and return a proxy form and do not nominate a person to act as your proxy, the Chair will be appointed as your proxy by default.

This does not apply to the Chair, who is able to vote undirected proxies.

How the Chair will vote undirected proxies

The Chair intends to vote any undirected proxy in favour of all resolutions.

The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all resolutions including Resolution 2 (Adoption of Remuneration Report). You should note that if you appoint the Chair as your proxy, or the Chair is appointed your proxy by default, you will be taken to authorise the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

If you wish, you can appoint the Chair as your proxy and direct the Chair to cast your votes contrary to the above stated voting intention or to abstain from voting on a Resolution. Simply mark your voting directions on the proxy form before you return it.
