Amendments to proxy voting

Shareholders are advised that The Federal government has recently introduced the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 (Cth) (the Act ), which came into effect on 1 July 2011. The Act introduces new 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 informed consent, in the form of 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 ( Informed Consent ).

In the event that shareholders wish to vest their undirected votes in the chair of the meeting, they should note that a chair may not vote undirected proxies on a remuneration related resolutions unless the shareholder gives Informed Consent. Shareholders may provide Informed Consent by ticking the relevant box on the proxy form.

In light of the new legislative requirements, the Company recommends that shareholders consider the following options to ensure the validity of their votes:

  • a. that shareholders direct proxies on a remuneration related resolution instead of leaving them undirected; or

  • b. that shareholders nominate a proxy who is not a member of Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties to vote on a remuneration related resolution; or

  • c. that shareholders who wish to vest their undirected proxies in the chair on a remuneration related resolution ensure that they follow instructions provided on the proxy form in order to provide Informed Consent.
