EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting. This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with and forms part of the accompanying Notice.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report at the Meeting.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at http://www.fenixresources.com.au/ or by contacting the Company on (08) 9226 2011.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.

Shareholders will be offered the following opportunities:

  • (a) discuss the Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2019;

  • (b) ask questions about, or make comments on, the management of the Company;

  • (c) ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report;

  • (d) ask the auditor questions about:

  • (i) the conduct of the audit;

  • (ii) the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report;

  • (iii) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • (iv) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company, or to the Company's auditor about:

  • (a) the content of the Auditor's Report;

  • (b) the conduct of the audit of the Financial Report;

may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report

5

is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

The Chair of the meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable directors’ report ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

2.4 Chair voting undirected proxies

The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chair of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair’s intention.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR GARRY PLOWRIGHT

Clause 14.4 of the Constitution requires that at the Company’s annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest to but not exceeding onethird, shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 14.4 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has four (4) Directors and accordingly one (1) must retire.

6

Mr Garry Plowright the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

The Board (other than Mr Plowright) unanimously supports the re-election of Mr Plowright.

4. RESOLUTION 3 - APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY– SHARES

4.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period of up to 12 months after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in Section 4.2 below).

The Company is seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability, if required, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. The effect of passing Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Directors believe that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 3 for it to be passed.

4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: FEX).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated as at the date of issue of the Equity Securities according to the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

7

A

is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • (iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and

  • (iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

Note that “A” has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

D is 10%.

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

4.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 3:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX Trading Days of the date in Section 4.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A cease to be valid),

( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

(c) Risk of voting dilution

8

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice for variable “A”.

The table also shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

* The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. The current shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 23 October 2019.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX 23 October 2019.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares.

9

  1. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  2. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  3. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (iii) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (iv) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Timing of issues under the 10% Placement Capacity

The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Capacity Period. The approval under Resolution 3 for the issue of Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

(e) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised towards the ongoing costs associated with either the exploration and development of its existing projects or to identify opportunities to drive shareholder value; or

  • (ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new projects or otherwise as consideration for services rendered by non-related third parties to the Company, where it is considered appropriate by the board to do so. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(f)

Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

(i) the purpose of the issue;

10

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

(g) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2018 Annual General Meeting. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to that Listing Rule 7.1A approval.

During the 12-month period preceding 14 November 2018, being the date of this Meeting, the Company otherwise issued a total of 425,867,508 Equity Securities, representing 938% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue as at 14 November 2018.

The Company’s cash balance on 14 November 2018 was approximately $350,000. The Company’s cash balance at the date of this Notice is approximately $2,700,000.

(h) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will give ASX:

  • (i) A list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

12

(ii)

The information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

4.4 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – REPLACEMENT CONSTITUTION

5.1 General

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by a special resolution of the Shareholders.

Resolution 4 seeks repeal the Company’s existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution ( Proposed Constitution ) which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by shares. The Proposed Constitution is to ensure the Company’s constitution reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules. Resolution 4 is a special resolution, accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 4 for it to be passed.

The Proposed Constitution will incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules since the current Constitution was adopted in 2008.

In addition, ASX is proposing a number of rule changes to make aspects of the listing process and ongoing compliance with the listing rules more efficient for issuers and for ASX.

ASX is proposing to introduce a two-tier escrow regime where ASX can (and will) require certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their controllers to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form of Appendix 9A, as is currently the case. However, for less significant holdings, ASX will instead permit entities to rely on a provision in their constitution imposing appropriate escrow restrictions on the holder of restricted securities and to simply give a notice to the holder of restricted securities in the form of a new Appendix 9C advising them of those restrictions.

Once the new listing rules come into effect, which is expected on 1 December 2019, a company cannot issue restricted securities unless the constitution is amended to include the wording below. Given the Company is already admitted to the official list of ASX, the circumstances in which the Company may issue restricted securities is limited, and would most likely relate to transactions requiring approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.1 or if the Company was required to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules because of the application of ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3 (i.e. a significant change to the Company’s nature or scale of activities).

The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions of the existing Constitution. The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature.

The Directors believe these amendments are neither material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders. It is not practicable to list all the changes

13

to the Constitution in detail in this Explanatory Memorandum, however, a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below in section 5.2.

A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website at the registered office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary at +61 8 9226 2011. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

5.2 Summary of Material Proposed Changes

Dividends (clause 21)

Section 254T of the Corporations Act was amended effective 28 June 2010.

There is now a three-tiered test that a company will need to satisfy before paying a dividend replacing the previous test that dividends may only be paid out of profits.

The amended requirements provide that a company must not pay a dividend unless:

  • (i) the company’s assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend;

  • (ii) the payment of the dividend is fair and reasonable to the company’s shareholders as a whole; and

  • (iii) the payment of the dividend does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors.

The existing Constitution reflects the former profits test and restricts the dividends to be paid only out of the profits of the Company. The Proposed Constitution is updated to reflect the new requirements of the Corporations Act. The Directors consider it appropriate to update the Constitution for this amendment to allow more flexibility in the payment of dividends in the future should the Company be in a position to pay dividends.

Partial (proportional) takeover provisions (new clause 9)

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s shares.

Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, the Company has included in the Proposed Constitution a provision whereby a proportional takeover bid for Shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of Shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.

This clause of the Proposed Constitution will cease to have effect on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption or last renewal of the clause.

Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act

Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions

Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed.

Reasons for proportional takeover provisions

14

A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.

Knowledge of any acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions

The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (i) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;

  • (ii) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority;

  • (iii) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and

  • (iv) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.

The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (i) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;

  • (ii) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and

  • (iii) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.

Unmarketable Parcels (new clause 25)

Clause 25 of the Constitution outlines how the Company can manage shareholdings which represent an “unmarketable parcel” of shares, being a shareholding that is less than $500 based on the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX as at the relevant time.

The Proposed Constitution is in line with the requirements for dealing with “unmarketable parcels” outlined in the Corporations Act such that where the Company elects to undertake a sale of unmarketable parcels, the Company is only required to give one notice to holders of an unmarketable parcel to elect to retain their shareholding before the unmarketable parcel can be dealt with by the Company, saving time and administrative costs incurred by otherwise having to send out additional notices.

Clause 25 of the Proposed Constitution continues to outline in detail the process that the Company must follow for dealing with unmarketable parcels.

15

Fee for registration of off market transfers (clause 8.4(c))

In 2011, ASX amended ASX Listing Rule 8.14 with the effect that the Company may now charge a “reasonable fee” for registering paper-based transfers, sometimes referred to as “off-market transfers”.

Clause 7.4 of the Proposed Constitution enables the Company to charge a reasonable fee when it is required to register off-market transfers from Shareholders. The fee is intended to represent the cost incurred by the Company in upgrading its fraud detection practices specific to off-market transfers.

Before charging any fee, the Company is required to notify ASX of the fee to be charged and provide sufficient information to enable ASX to assess the reasonableness of the proposed amount.

Restricted Securities (clause 24.3)

The Company shall comply in all respects with the requirements of the Listing Rules with respect to Restricted Securities. Without limiting the generality of the above:

  • (i) a holder of Restricted Securities must not dispose of, or agree or offer to dispose of, the securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX;

  • (ii) if the Restricted Securities are in the same class as quoted securities, the holder will be taken to have agreed in writing that the Restricted Securities are to be kept on the Company’s issuer sponsored subregister and are to have a holding lock applied for the duration of the escrow period applicable to those securities.

  • (iii) the Company will refuse to acknowledge any disposal (including, without limitation, to registering any transfer), assignment or transfer of Restricted Securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX;

  • (iv) a holder of Restricted Securities will not be entitled to participate in any return of capital on those securities during the escrow period applicable to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or ASX; and

  • (v) if a holder of Restricted Securities breaches a restriction deed or a provision of this Constitution restricting a disposal of those securities, the holder will not be entitled to any dividend or distribution, or to exercise any voting rights, in respect of those securities for so long as the breach continues.

5.3 Voting Recommendation

The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of adopting the proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that the proportional takeover provision in the Proposed Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

6. ENQUIRIES

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

  1. ( Appointing a Proxy ): A member entitled to attend and cast a vote at an Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If the member is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the meeting, the member may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the meeting. However, where both proxies attend the meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A member who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a member appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company.

  2. ( Direction to Vote ): A member may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

( Signing Instructions ):

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the member must sign.

  • ( Joint Holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the members should sign.

  • ( Power of Attorney ): If you have not already provided the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

  • ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.

  • ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the Annual General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Annual General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the Annual General Meeting.

  • ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
