Resolution 1 – To adopt the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2007

Section 298 of the Corporations Act requires that the annual Directors’ Report contain a Remuneration report prepared in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act.

The remuneration report of the company for the financial year ended 30 June 2007 is set out in the Director’s Report in the 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders (“Remuneration Report”) and also on pages 6-8 of the Full Year Accounts lodged with the ASIC and the ASX on 14 September 2007.
