Instructions on Voting by Proxy

  • (i) A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two (2) proxies. When more than one (1) proxy is appointed, each proxy must be appointed to represent a specified proportion or specified number of the Shareholder’s voting rights. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half the votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded. A proxy need not be a Shareholder and may be an individual or a corporation.

  • (ii) A proxy that is a corporation must appoint an individual as a representative and comply with the requirements set out above under the heading ‘Voting by a corporation’.

  • (iii) If you appoint a proxy, the Company encourages you to consider directing your proxy how to vote by marking the appropriate box on the Proxy Form for each of the proposed Resolutions. If your proxy chooses to vote, he/she must vote in accordance with your directions. If you have directed your proxy to vote, and they fail to attend the Meeting or they choose not to vote, then, on a poll, the Chairman of the Meeting will vote your proxies as directed by you.

  • (iv) If you do not want the Chairman of the Meeting to vote as your proxy, you need to direct your proxy to vote accordingly, or abstain from voting on the relevant Resolution, by marking the appropriate box on the Proxy Form.

  • (v) If you appoint a Director (other than the Chairman of the Meeting) or another member of the Key Management Personnel (or a Closely Related Party of a member of the Key Management Personnel) as your proxy, you should direct them how to vote on Resolution 1 by marking the appropriate box. If you do not do so, your proxy will not be able to vote on your behalf on Resolution 1.

  • (vi) The Proxy Form must be received at the Company’s Share Registry not less than 46 hours before the appointed time of the Meeting, i.e. no later than 12 midday AEDT on Monday 29 November 2021. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled Meeting.

  • (vii) The Proxy Form must be signed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder’s attorney or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, in a manner permitted by the Corporations Act.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision regarding the matters set forth in the Notice.

Capitalised terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum are defined in the Glossary appearing at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum, unless otherwise defined in the Explanatory Memorandum or Notice.

Explanation of Item 1 – Financial Statements and Reports

The Corporations Act requires each of the Company’s financial report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report to be laid before the Meeting to be received and considered. There is no requirement in the Corporations Act, or the Company’s Constitution, for Shareholders to vote on, approve or adopt these reports. Each report is found in the Annual Report available on the Company’s website (https://gowings.com/). Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and make comments on these reports.

Explanation of Item 2 – Non-binding Resolution to adopt Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report is set out in the “Remuneration Report” section of the Directors’ Report, which is found in the Annual Report. The Annual Report is available on the Company’s website (https://gowings.com/).

The Remuneration Report sets out the principles and the current arrangements for the remuneration of Directors and the Key Management Personnel.

The Corporations Act requires that Shareholders, at the Annual General Meeting, consider and vote on a resolution proposing to adopt the Remuneration Report. This Resolution is advisory only and not binding on the Directors or the Company.

It is anticipated that the Chairman of the Meeting will be a member of the Key Management Personnel, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report. Shareholders should be aware that the anticipated Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report. By appointing the Chairman of the Meeting to be your proxy, you expressly authorise the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise the proxy in relation to Resolution 1 (including an undirected proxy) even if the Chairman of the Meeting is a member of the Key Management Personnel (or a Closely Related Party of a member of the Key Management Personnel). A Shareholder may appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as a proxy with a direction to cast votes contrary to the Chairman’s stated voting intentions, or to abstain from voting on Resolution 1.

The “Two Strikes” Rule applies with respect to Resolution 1. If there is more than 25% vote against the Remuneration Report at this Meeting then:

  • the next year’s Remuneration Report must contain details of any proposed actions to address any concerns raised by Shareholders at this Meeting, or the Board’s reasons for inactions; and

  • if at the next Annual General Meeting more than 25% vote against the next year’s Remuneration Report then a ‘spill resolution’ will be put to the Shareholders at that meeting, i.e. whether or not to hold a ‘spill meeting’ within 90 days to vote on the re-election of the existing Directors. The Managing Director would not be subject to any spill motion.

Explanation of Item 3 – Re-Election of Director

In accordance with rules 88 and 89 of the Constitution a minimum of one-third of the Directors, being those longest in office since their last election, must retire from office at each Annual General Meeting. The retiring

6 | P a g e

Professor West is a former Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Business at Harvard University and is an experienced global businessman No other directorships held in listed companies over the past 3 years.

Directors of the Company (excluding Professor West) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the reelection of Professor West.

Explanation of Item 4 Appointment of Auditor

The Company’s auditor is presently HLB Mann Judd. On 19 October 2021, HLB Mann Judd lodged a notice with ASIC seeking ASIC’s consent to HLB Mann Judd resigning as the Company’s auditor to take effect from the AGM.

Subject to the ASIC’s consent to HLB Mann Judd’s resignation, and in accordance with Section 327B of the Corporations Act, the Company is proposing to appoint William Buck (NSW) as its auditor which will, if this resolution is passed, take effect from the date of the AGM.

On this basis, it is a requirement under the Corporations Act that a member provide a written nomination to the Company for appointment not less than 21 days before the meeting. The Company has received a nomination from a member to appoint William Buck (NSW) as the Company’s auditor (a copy of which is set out in Annexure ‘A’).

William Buck (NSW) has consented and as at the date of this Notice of Meeting has not withdrawn its consent to act as the Company’s auditor. The Directors wish to appoint William Buck (NSW) as the Company’s auditor.

Board recommendation: The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of the resolution.
