ORDINARY BUSINESS

3. Resolutions 1 and 2 – Removal and Appointment of Auditor

Under section 329 of the Corporations Act, an auditor of a company may be removed from office by resolution at a general meeting of which 2 months’ notice of intention to move the resolution has been given.

It should be noted that under this section, if a company calls a meeting after the notice of intention has been given, the meeting may pass the resolution even though the meeting is held less than 2 months after the notice of intention is given.

The notice of intention to remove Sik-Chuen Kong of TKNP International has been provided to Sik-Chuen Kong of TKNP International and the Australian Securities Investments Commission in accordance with section 329(2) of the Corporations Act.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution seeking the removal of Sik-Chuen Kong of TKNP International as the auditor of the Company. An auditor may be removed in a general meeting provided that the notice of intention to remove the auditor has been received from a member of the company.

The Company has been satisfied with the service level Sik-Chuen Kong of TKNP International has provided, but it is now considered appropriate to change to a Western Australian based auditor for the Company.

The Company does not believe that the audit quality will be diminished as a result of changing auditors.

If Sik-Chuen Kong of TKNP International is removed under Resolution 1, pursuant to section 328B of the Corporations Act, the Directors propose that Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd be appointed as the Company’s auditor effective from the meeting.

Under section 327D of the Corporations Act, the Company in a general meeting may appoint an auditor to replace an auditor removed under section 329 of the Corporations Act.

Resolution 2 is a special resolution seeking the appointment of Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd as the new auditor of the Company. As required by the Corporations Act, a nomination for Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd to be appointed as the auditor of the Company has been received from a member. A copy of the nomination of Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd as auditors is set out at Annexure A.

Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd has given its written consent to act as the Company’s auditor in accordance with section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act subject to shareholder approval of Resolution 2.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the appointment of Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd as the Company’s auditor will take effect from the close of this General Meeting. Resolution 2 is subject to the passing of Resolution 1.
