4 AMENDMENt tO thE CONStItUtION

Introduction

Section 136(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) permits a company to modify its constitution provided that this is done by special resolution. Such a resolution must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members present (in person or by proxy) and voting on the resolution.

Presently, clauses 99 and 100 of the Company’s constitution state:

  1. Addresses outside Australia

A notice sent by post to or from a place outside Australia must be sent by air mail.

  1. Time of service

  2. 100.1 A notice sent by post within Australia is taken to be given 3 Business Days after posting.

  3. 100.2 A notice sent by post to or from a place outside Australia is taken to be given 7 Business Days after posting.

  4. 100.3 A notice sent by fax, or other electronic means, is taken to be given on the Business Day after it is sent (if the sender’s transmission report shows that the whole notice was sent to the correct facsimile number).

Resolution 4

Approval is sought to modify the Company’s constitution by removing clause 99 and replacing clause 100 with the following:

“A notice sent by post is taken to be given 3 days after it is posted. A notice sent by fax, or other electronic means, is taken to be given on the Business Day after it is sent.”

The effect of the modification to the Company’s constitution set out above is that if a notice is given under the Company’s constitution by post, that notice will be taken to be given at a time equivalent to that prescribed under the Corporations Act 2001 (3 days after it is posted), rather than the later time presently prescribed by the Company’s constitution. Further, if notice is sent by post to or from a place outside Australia, if the resolution is carried, it will no longer be a requirement under the Company’s constitution for the notice to be sent by air mail.

The directors believe it to be appropriate for the Company’s constitution to be amended in the manner suggested above in order, primarily, that the Company may be in a position to more quickly respond to corporate opportunities without being constrained by notice periods to any greater extent than those enacted by Parliament through the Corporations Act 2001. The directors believe that by reason of the general efficiency of contemporary postal services in Australia and around the world, if the resolution is carried, persons required to be given notices under the Company’s constitution will not be disadvantaged.

The other members of the Board unanimously support Mr Kennedy’s re-election.
