-
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.

-
If a shareholder appoints a key management personnel of the Company (KMP) as disclosed in the 2015 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 a 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.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
10[th] November 2015 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 2015 will be put before the AGM. These Reports are in the Cryosite 2015 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.
Item 2: Remuneration Report
Shareholders are asked to adopt the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2015. The Remuneration Report is in the Directors Report in Cryosite’s 2015 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 2016 Annual General Meeting if a 'second strike' was to occur at the 2016 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.
Item 3: Election of Directors
Mr Graeme Moore 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.
Graeme Moore holds the position of Executive Director Operations and Business Development. Mr Moore has held positions as Chief Operating Officer and Quality and Regulatory Affairs Manager. Mr Moore joined Cryosite in July 2005 after a 20 year career in biomedical science, manufacture of therapeutic goods, quality management and regulatory affairs, including 9 years with the Australian Red Cross Blood Service. Mr Moore was appointed to the Board on 22 September, 2008.

Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. Please note: you cannot change ownership of your shares using this form.

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.
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.
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.
