Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and make comments on these reports and on the business and operations of the Company.
Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting. In addition, the Corporations Act requires that Resolution 1, to adopt the Remuneration Report, be put to the vote.
