VOTING RESTRICTIONS
CORPORATIONS ACT
VOTING RESTRICTIONS FOR ITEM 2 (REMUNERATION
REPORT),
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Company is required to disregard any votes cast on agenda item 2 by or on behalf of either a member of the key management personnel (KMP), details of whose remuneration are included in the remuneration report, or a closely related party of such a member (together “prohibited persons”). Closely related party is defined in the Corporations Act and includes spouse, dependent and certain other close family members, as well as companies controlled by a member of the KMP. Furthermore, no member of the KMP or a closely
related party of any such member may vote as a proxy on agenda items 2 unless:
-
the person votes as a proxy appointed by writing that specified how the person is to vote on agenda items 2; or
-
the person is the Chairman and votes as a proxy appointed by writing that expressly authorises the Chairman to vote on agenda item 2 even though that item is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP of the Company and even though the Chairman is a member of the KMP of the Company.
If the Chairman of the AGM is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as a proxy by a shareholder, that shareholder can direct the Chairman to vote for or against, or to abstain from voting on, the resolution on agenda item 2 by marking the appropriate box opposite agenda item 2 on the proxy form. No proxy may be cast on item 2 on behalf of a KMP or closely related party.
If the Chairman of the AGM is appointed as a proxy by a shareholder, and that shareholder does not mark any of the boxes opposite agenda item 2 in the proxy form, the Chairman is expressly authorised to exercise undirected proxies to vote in favour of the resolution on agenda item 2 even though this agenda item is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP, which includes the Chairman.
ENTITLEMENT TO ATTEND AND VOTE

On a show of hands, every shareholder present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has 1 vote.
On a poll, every shareholder present has 1 vote for each fully paid share held by that shareholder and in respect of which that shareholder is entitled to vote.

Adoption of the remuneration report (item 2)
Background
During this item of business, shareholders will have the opportunity to comment on and ask questions about the remuneration report contained in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2020. The remuneration report contains:
-
information about the board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of the Company’s directors and senior executives;
-
a description of the relationship between the remuneration policy and the Company’s performance; and
-
remuneration details for each director and for each of the Company’s specified executives.
The Board considers that the remuneration policies adopted by the Company are appropriately structured to provide rewards that are commensurate with the performance of the Company.
The Corporations Act requires that a resolution be put to the vote at the AGM that the remuneration report be adopted. This vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Please note that as the 2019 AGM vote did not result in a 25% vote against the resolution, there is no requirement to allow for any ‘spill resolution’ at this AGM.
Recommendation
The Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report which has been approved in accordance with a unanimous resolution of the CPT Board. Each Director recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the adoption of the Remuneration Report
Please note that if the Chairman of the AGM is appointed as a proxy by a shareholder, and that shareholder does not mark any of the boxes opposite agenda item 2 in the proxy form, the Chairman is expressly authorised to exercise undirected proxies to vote in favour of the resolution on agenda item 2 (Adoption of the remuneration report) even though this agenda item is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP, which includes the Chairman.
