VOTING INFORMATION AND NOTES
- Voting exclusions
Resolution 2 - Adoption of Remuneration Report The Corporations Act 2001(Cth) prohibits Directors and other key management personnel of the Company and their closely related parties voting in any capacity (including as a shareholder, proxy or personal representative) on resolution 2. The prohibition does not apply if the person has been appointed as a proxy by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on resolution 2, provided that the person who appointed the proxy is not themselves a person subject to the prohibition.
Accordingly, the Company will disregard any votes cast on resolution 2 (in any capacity) by or on behalf of Directors and other key management personnel of the Company and their closely related parties, unless the vote is cast by a person as proxy for a person entitled to vote in accordance with a direction in the proxy form.
In addition, the Chairman of the meeting can vote undirected proxies on resolution 2 where the shareholder provides the Chairman with express authorisation to do so, even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel for the Company.
Therefore, when completing the proxy form, if you appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy, or if the Chairman of the meeting is appointed as your proxy by default, then unless you mark one of the voting instruction boxes for resolution 2, you will be taken to have given your express authority to the Chairman to cast any undirected proxy votes on resolution 2.
Voting exclusion required under the ASX Listing Rules Voting exclusions required under the ASX Listing Rules (where applicable) are included in the explanatory memorandum.
- Voting entitlement on a poll
On a poll, each shareholder present (in person, by proxy, attorney or representative) has one vote for each fully paid share they hold.
3 Proxies
A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at this meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on the shareholder's behalf. If the shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes at the meeting, the shareholder may appoint up to two proxies to attend and vote on the shareholder's behalf.
If a shareholder appoints two proxies, each proxy must be appointed to represent a specified proportion or number of the shareholder's votes. Absent this specification, each proxy will need to exercise half the votes.
A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
To appoint a proxy, a proxy form must be signed by the shareholder or the shareholder's attorney duly authorised in writing. If the shareholder is a corporation, the proxy form must be signed in accordance with section 127 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). To be effective, a proxy form (and, if it is
signed by an attorney, the authority under which it is signed or a certified copy of the authority) must be received by the Company not later than 48 hours prior to the commencement of the meeting. Proxy form and authorities may be sent to Computershare Investor Services Pty Ltd, GPO Box 242, Melbourne VIC 3001, or in person to Computershare at-
Level 5, 115 Grenfell Street, Adelaide SA 5000. or by facsimile to Computershare on: (within Australia) 1800 783 447 or (outside Australia) +61 3 9473 2555 or the Company on $+61883125576$ .
Shareholders who forward their proxy forms by fax must make available the original executed form of the proxy for production at the meeting, if called upon to do so.
Undirected proxies
If shareholders appoint the person chairing the meeting as their proxy and do not specify how the Chairman is to vote on a resolution, except as directed, the Chairman advises that he intends to vote each such proxy, as proxy for those shareholders, in favour of each resolution on a poll. Therefore, the Company recommends that shareholders who submit proxies should consider giving "how to vote" directions to their proxy holder (including the Chairman) on each resolution. Please read the directions on the proxy form carefully, especially if you intend to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy.
If shareholders complete a proxy form that authorises the person chairing the meeting to vote on their behalf as proxy holder, and do not mark any of the boxes so as to give the Chairman directions about how their vote should be cast, then the Chairman may vote as they choose. If shareholders wish to appoint the person chairing the meeting as their proxy holder but do not want to put the Chairman in the position to cast their vote as they choose in relation to a resolution, shareholders should complete the appropriate box on the proxy form, directing the Chairman to vote for, against or abstain from voting on that resolution.
If the chairperson is appointed as a proxy, they are not permitted to vote undirected proxies on various matters, including some remuneration matters and related party matters unless express authority to do so is given by the appointing shareholder.
