BARRACK ST INVESTMENTS LIMITED

ACN 167 689 821

Financial statements and reports

  • 1 The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) requires that the report of the directors, the auditor’s report and the financial report be laid before the annual general meeting. In addition the Company’s constitution provides for these reports to be received and considered at the meeting.

  • 2 Apart from the matters involving remuneration which are required to be voted upon, neither the Corporations Act nor the Company’s constitution requires a vote of shareholders at the annual general meeting on the financial statements and reports.

  • 3 Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity at the meeting to raise questions and make comments on these reports.

  • 4 In addition to asking questions at the meeting, shareholders may address written questions to the chairman about the management of the Company or to the Company’s auditor Mr Joseph Pien if the question is relevant to:

  • (a) the content of the auditor’s report; or

  • (b) the conduct of its audit of the annual financial report to be considered at the meeting.

Note: Under section 250PA(1) Corporations Act a shareholder must submit the question to the Company no later than the fifth business day before the day on which the AGM is held. Written questions for the auditor must be delivered by 14 October 2014. Please send any written questions for Mr Leslie Pines to Suite 1 102 Spofforth Street Cremorne NSW 2090.

Directors’ Remuneration Report

The Corporations Act requires that the section of the directors’ report dealing with the remuneration of directors, the company secretary and up to five senior executives (Remuneration Report) be put to the vote of shareholders for adoption. Between 23 January 2014 (date of incorporation) and 30 June 2014 the company did not pay any remuneration to the directors or company secretary and there is no report this year.

Re- election of director

Resolution 2: Re-election of Dr Manny Pohl

5 In terms of clause 19.3 of the constitution at every annual general meeting, one third of the directors (other than the Managing Director) must retire from office. A director (other than the Managing Director) must retire from office at the conclusion of the third annual general meeting after which the director was elected or re – elected. A director who is required to retire under this rule retains office until the dissolution or adjournment of the meeting at which the retiring director retires. The director to retire at an Annual General Meeting is the one who has been longest in office since his last election. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election. Dr Manny Pohl is the Chairman and CEO of investment house EC Pohl & Co which he founded after he stepped down as Managing Director and Chair of the Investment Committee of Hyperion Asset Management Limited.

The Directors recommend you vote in favour of this resolution.
