Appointing a Proxy

  • Shareholders who are unable to attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and do not choose to use Direct Voting, are entitled to appoint a proxy to act at the AGM on their behalf, and to vote in accordance with their instructions on the proxy form.

  • A proxy need not be a shareholder of Cryosite Ltd.

  • To appoint a Proxy, mark ‘X’ in Box B on the Voting/Proxy Form. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate. Subject to the voting exclusions set out above, if no voting instructions are given, the proxy may vote as they see fit.

  • If a shareholder appoints a key management personnel of the Company (KMP) as disclosed in the 2014 Remuneration Report (which includes each of the Directors) as proxy, the KMP will not be able to cast the shareholder’s votes on item 2 unless the shareholder directs the KMP how to vote or the Chairman of the Meeting is the shareholder’s proxy. If a shareholder appoints the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy or the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as the shareholder’s proxy by default and the shareholder does not make a mark in the voting box for item 2 then by signing and returning the Voting/Proxy form the shareholder will be expressly authorizing the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise the proxy in respect of the relevant item even though the item is connected with the remuneration of the KMP.

  • The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all valid available and undirected proxies in favour of each item of business.

  • If you are a shareholder entitled to cast two or more votes, you may appoint up to two proxies and specify the proportion of voting rights or the number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.

You will need your security holder Reference Number (SRN) or Holder Identification Number (HIN) which is shown on the Voting/Proxy Form.

The Board has determined that a person’s entitlement to vote at the AGM will be the entitlement of that person set out in the register of shareholders as at 7pm on Monday 20 October 2014. Share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to vote at the AGM.

Explanatory Memorandum

22[nd] October 2014 Notice of Annual General Meeting

Agenda item 1: Financial Report and Reports of the Director and Auditor

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report for the year ended 30 June 2014 will be put before the AGM. These Reports are in the Cryosite 2014 Annual Report and can be accessed on our website at www.cryosite.com

This item does not require a formal resolution and accordingly, no vote will be held on this item. Shareholders will, however, be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions on these Reports during discussion on this item.

Agenda Item 2: Remuneration Report

Shareholders are asked to adopt the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2014. The Remuneration Report is in the Directors Report in Cryosite’s 2014 Annual Report and can be accessed on the website at www.cryosite.com.

Under the Corporations Act 2001, the vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Board or Cryosite. However the Board will take the outcome of the vote into account when considering future remuneration policy for non-executive Directors and Executives.

Shareholders should note that if 25% or more of votes cast on this resolution are against adoption of the Remuneration Report, the first element in the Board spill provisions introduced in 2011 (known generally as the 'two strikes rule') will be triggered. This would require a resolution on whether to hold a further meeting to spill the Board (a 'spill resolution') to be put to shareholders at the 2015 Annual General Meeting if a 'second strike' was to occur at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.

A voting exclusion applies to this resolution, as set out in the Notice of Meeting.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the adoption of the Remuneration Report. The Chairman of the AGM intends to vote all available and undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.

Agenda Item 3: Election of Directors

Mr Andrew Kroger being a Director who is retiring in accordance with the Company's constitution, and being eligible, offers himself for election, be re-elected as a director of the Company.

Andrew Kroger is the Non-Executive Chairman of Cryosite. Andrew was appointed a director and Chairman of Cryosite in November 2011. Andrew is the largest shareholder of the Company holding 11,706,943 shares (24.98% of the share capital).

Mr Kroger has had a career in stockbroking, law and general management including two years running Forsayth Group in 1990 which was Australia’s ninth largest gold producer at that time. Mr Kroger is the owner of Process Wastewater Technologies LLC, a company with its major business being in wastewater in the United States. Mr Kroger has a Bachelor of Economics and a Bachelor of Laws from Monash University. Mr. Kroger was appointed to the Cryosite Limited board in November 2011.

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS VOTING FORM

Your Name and Address

Appointment of a Second Proxy

This is your name and address as it appears on the Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. Please note: you cannot change ownership of your shares using this form.

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning the Company’s share registry or you may copy this form and return them both together. The appointment of the Chairman of the Meeting as your alternate proxy also applies to the appointment of the second proxy.

Voting under Box A

If you ticked the box under Box A you are indicating that you wish to vote directly. Please only mark either “for” or “against” for each item. Do not mark the “abstain” box. If you mark the “abstain” box for an item, your vote for that item will be invalid.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

  • (a) on each of the first Voting Form and the second Voting Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and

If no direction is given on all of the items, or if you complete both Box A and Box B, your vote may be passed to the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy.

  • (b) return both forms together.

Custodians and nominees may, with the Share Registrar’s consent, identify on the voting form the total number of votes in each of the categories “for” and “against” and their votes will be valid.

Individual: sign. Joint Holding: either shareholder may sign. Power of Attorney: to this form when you return it. Companies: Corporations Act 2001 in the appropriate place. Corporate Representatives registry.

If you have lodged a direct vote, and then you attend the meeting, your attendance will cancel your direct vote. The Chairman’s decision as to whether a direct vote is valid is conclusive.

Joint Holding: where the holding is in more than one name, either shareholder may sign.

Power of Attorney: to sign under Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry. If you have not previously lodged this document for notation, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Voting under Box B – Appointment of a Proxy

If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box in Box B. If the person you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting please write the name of that person in Box B. If you appoint someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, you will also be appointing the Chairman of the Meeting as your alternate proxy to act as your proxy in the event the named proxy does not attend the meeting.

Companies: where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001 ) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

Votes on Items of Business – Proxy Appointment

You should direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes.
