(i) requiring the member to pay that call or other amount; and
(ii) stating that the share is liable to be forfeited if the member does not pay to the company, at the place specified in the notice, the amount specified in the notice, within 14 days (or any longer period specified) after the date of the notice; and

(ii) in the case of reissue, or other disposal, with or without crediting as paid up any amount paid on the share by any former holder.
(c) A person whose shares have been forfeited ceases to be a member as to the forfeited shares, but must, if the directors decide, pay to the company:
(i) all calls and other amounts owing on the shares at the time of the forfeiture; and
(ii) interest on the unpaid part of the amount payable under rule 6.3(c)(i), from the date of the forfeiture to the date of payment, at a rate calculated under rule 10.

24.3 Apportionment of dividends

Subject to the terms of issue of any shares or class of shares, dividends must be paid equally on all shares, except partly paid shares, which have an entitlement only to that part of the dividend which is in proportion to the amount paid (not credited) on the share to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c) No objection may be raised to any resolution which declares a higher rate of dividend on the shares of any class than the dividend declared on the shares of any other class or which declares a dividend on the shares of any class to the exclusion of the shares of any other class on the ground that the resolution was passed by the votes of the holders of the shares of a class to receive the higher rate of dividend or to receive the dividend (as the case may be) and that the resolution was opposed by the holders of the shares of a class to receive the lower rate of dividend or to be excluded (as the case may be).

(i) no account is nominated by the member; or
(ii) an electronic transfer into a nominated account is rejected or refunded,

the company may credit the amount payable to an account of the company to be held until the member nominates a valid account.

(e) Where a member does not have a registered address or the company believes that a member is not known at the member’s registered address, the company may credit an amount payable to the member to an account of the company to be held until the member claims the amount or nominates an account into which payment may be made.
(f) An amount credited to an account under rules 24.7(d) or 24.7(e) is to be treated as having been paid to the member at the time it is credited to that account. The company is not a trustee of the money and no interest accrues on the money.

24.12 Unclaimed dividends

Unclaimed dividends may be invested by the directors as they think fit for the benefit of the company until claimed or until required to be dealt with under the law.

24.13 Power to make concurrent call

The directors, when declaring a dividend, may make a call on the members of such amount as they may fix but so that the call on each member does not exceed the dividend payable to the member and so that the call is made payable at the same time as the dividend and the dividend may, if so arranged between the company and the member, be set off against the call.

25 Capitalising profits

25.1 Capitalisation of reserves and profits

The directors, subject to the Relevant Law:

(a) may resolve to capitalise any sum, being the whole or a part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of any reserve account or the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution to the members; and
(b) may, but need not, resolve to apply the sum in any of the ways mentioned in rule 25.2, for the benefit of members in the proportions to which those members would have been entitled in a distribution of that sum by way of dividend.

25.2 Applying a sum for the benefit of members

The ways in which a sum may be applied for the benefit of members under rule 25.1 are:

(a) paying up in full, at an issue price decided by the resolution, any unissued shares in or other securities of the company;
(b) paying up any amounts unpaid on shares or other securities held by the members; or
(c) paying up partly as specified in rule 25.2(a) and partly as specified in rule 25.2(b).

25.3 Implementing the resolution

The directors may do all things necessary to give effect to a resolution under rule 25.1, including to enter into an agreement on behalf of any member.

26 Winding up

26.1 Distributing surplus

Subject to this constitution and the terms of issue of any shares or class of shares:

(a) if the company is wound up and the property of the company available for distribution among the members is more than sufficient to pay:
(i) all the debts and liabilities of the company; and
(ii) the costs, charges and expenses of the winding up,

Adopted 31 October, 2023| Constitution of Data[#] 3 Limited

==> picture [88 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

the excess must be divided among the members in proportion to the number of shares held by them, irrespective of the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares;

(b) for the purpose of calculating the excess referred to in rule 26.1(a), any amount unpaid on a share is to be treated as property of the company;
(c) the amount of the excess that would otherwise be distributed to the holder of a partly paid share under rule 26.1(a) must be reduced by the amount unpaid on that share at the date of the distribution; and
(d) if the effect of the reduction under rule 26.1(c) would be to reduce the distribution to the holder of a partly paid share to a negative amount, the holder must contribute that amount to the company.

26.2 Dividing property

(a) If the company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution:
(i) divide among the members the whole or any part of the company’s property (and may for that purpose set the value the liquidator considers fair upon any property to be so divided); and
(ii) decide how the division is to be carried out as between the members or different classes of members.
(b) The liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of the property referred to in rule 26.2(a) in trustees upon trusts for the benefit of the contributories that the liquidator sees fit, but so that no member is compelled to accept any shares or other securities on which there is any liability.
(c) A division under rule 26.2(a) need not accord with the legal rights of the members and, in particular, any class may be given preferential or special rights or may be excluded altogether or in part.
(d) Where a division under rule 26.2(a) does not accord with the legal rights of the members, a member is entitled to dissent and to exercise the same rights as if the special resolution sanctioning that division were a special resolution passed under section 507 Corporations Act.
(e) If any of the property to be divided under rule 26.2(a) includes shares with a liability to calls, any person entitled under the division to any of the shares may, within ten days after the passing of the special resolution referred to in rule 26.2(a), by written notice direct the liquidator to sell the person’s proportion of the securities and account for the net proceeds. The liquidator must, if practicable, act accordingly.
(f) Nothing in rule 26.2 takes away from or affects any right to exercise any statutory or other power which would have existed if this rule were omitted.
(g) Rule 25 applies, so far as it can and with any necessary changes, to a division by a liquidator under rule 26.2(a) as if references in rule 25 to:
(i) the directors were references to the liquidator; and
(ii) a distribution or capitalisation were references to the division under rule 26.2(a).

26.3 Remuneration of liquidator

27.1 Inspection by member

(b) the resolutions of members passed without meetings.

27.2 Access by director
