2. Proxies
In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act:
- A shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting may appoint a proxy. A proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.
Should you appoint a body corporate as your proxy, that body corporate will need to ensure that it:

-
Provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to commencement of the meeting.

A body corporate may appoint a corporate representative, rather than appoint a proxy, in accordance with the Corporations Act in which case the Company will require written proof of the representative’s appointment which must be lodged with or presented to the Company before the Meeting.
4. Background to the Spill Meeting
Under the “two strikes” legislation which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the adoption of the remuneration report of the Company at two consecutive AGMs are against the adoption of the remuneration report, the Company must put to the shareholders a “spill resolution” at the second AGM (“ Spill Resolution ”). If the Spill Resolution is passed, the Company must hold another General Meeting of shareholders (“ Spill Meeting ”) within 90 days of the passing of the resolution. All the directors of the Company who were directors of the Company when the directors’ report (including the remuneration report) was being considered at the second AGM, cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting and resolutions to appoint persons to offices that will be vacated immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting must be put to the vote.
At the Company’s 2016 AGM, more than 25% of the votes were cast against the adoption of the 2016 remuneration report. If at the 2017 AGM (due to be held at 10.00am on Wednesday 25 October 2017, immediately before the spill meeting), 25% or more of the votes cast are against the adoption of the 2017 remuneration report, shareholders will be required to vote on a resolution on whether a further General Meeting of the Company will be convened at which all of the Company’s directors must stand for re-election should they wish to continue as directors of the Company, being the Spill Resolution.
Please see the accompanying Notice of 2017 AGM for further information regarding the Spill Resolution and Spill Meeting.
This Spill Meeting will only take place if the Spill Resolution is passed at the 2017 AGM. If the Spill Resolution is not required to be voted on, or is not passed at the 2017 AGM, the resolutions proposed to be voted on at this meeting are not required and will be withdrawn. If the Spill Resolution is passed, each of the Company’s current directors who were in office when the directors resolved to approve the Remuneration Report was passed (being Mr Michael Glennon, Ms Leanne Catelan and Mr Craig Green) will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting. Those directors elected or reelected at the Spill Meeting will commence to hold office at the end of the Spill Meeting.
If a director is re-elected in these circumstances, the Corporations Act provides that the term of office of the director will not be affected and directors will be subject to retirement and re-election at an AGM of the company as if the cessation and appointment at the Spill Meeting had not occurred.
