Voting and other entitlements at the Annual General Meeting
A determination has been made by the Board of the Company under regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 that shares in the Company which are on issue at 7.00 pm (AEDT) on Wednesday 24 November 2021 will be taken to be held by the persons who held them at that time for the purposes of the Annual General Meeting (including determining voting entitlements at the meeting).
Proxy voting by the Chair
The Corporations Act imposes prohibitions on Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties from voting their shares (or voting undirected proxies) on, amongst other things, remuneration matters.
However, the chair of a meeting may vote an undirected proxy (i.e. a proxy that does not specify how it is to be voted), provided the shareholder who has lodged the proxy has given an express voting direction to the chair to exercise the undirected proxy, even if the resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of Key Management Personnel. If you complete a proxy form that authorises the Chair of the Meeting to vote on your behalf as proxy, and you do not mark any of the boxes so as to give him directions about how your vote should be cast, then you will be taken to have expressly authorised the Chair to exercise your proxy on Resolution 1. In accordance with this express authority provided by you, the Chair will vote in favour of Resolution 1. If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, and you wish to direct him how to vote, please tick the appropriate boxes on the form.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each item of business.
If you appoint as your proxy any Director of the Company, except the Chair, or any other Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties and you do not direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1, he or she will not vote your proxy on that item of business.
For the proxy form to be valid it must be received together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which the form is signed, or a (notarially) certified copy of that power of authority by 3.00 pm (AEDT) on Wednesday 24 November 2021 :
