Building a globally significant rare earths business; catalysing an Australian downstream industry

Iluka has a proud, 70-year history of mining, processing and marketing critical minerals. In 2022, we built on this legacy to deliver a number of significant opportunities that are calibrated to global trends and central to our bright future.

It has been an extraordinary year for our company – most notable for our diversification into rare earths, which will occur in the first instance through the development of Australia’s first fully integrated rare earths refinery at Eneabba. The refinery will be fed initially by Iluka’s unique stockpile of rare earths, which we have built progressively over the past 30 years on the basis that these critical minerals would one day be valuable.

In April, Iluka concluded a $1.25 billion strategic risk sharing agreement with the Australian Government to establish a domestic rare earths industry. This marked the culmination of several years of discussions with the Commonwealth to create what is a historic partnership. It also marked the beginning of the development of a substantial new business for the company; one that will be a significant global business in its own right.

Key rare earths – neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium – are essential inputs for permanent magnets, which are in turn essential for the electric motors used in electric vehicles and the generators used in wind turbines. They are also essential for a range of defence applications.

In this context, Eneabba is a once in a generation opportunity.

As one of few facilities in the world that will produce both light (neodymium and praseodymium) and heavy (dysprosium and terbium) separated rare earth oxides, it positions Iluka and Australia at the forefront of two key structural shifts taking place globally: the accelerating transition to a lower carbon economy via electrification; and the growing priority assigned to sovereign capabilities and diversified supply chains, particularly for the procurement of strategic materials.

Iluka will become a material producer of refined rare earths. And with all industry forecasters predicting significant price increases over coming years, we expect Eneabba to commence operations

at a time when our products will be highly sought after, including for their provenance and credentials. This has been confirmed through the company’s engagement with a range of potential customers.

The refinery represents a long term critical infrastructure asset that is catalysing the development of an Australian rare earths industry. Previously, concentrates produced in Australia would have to be exported overseas to be refined into rare earth oxides. Following our final investment decision, this is no longer the case. We have the opportunity not only to refine Iluka’s own feedstocks but to be a customer for the feedstocks produced by others. To illustrate, in October, we concluded an agreement with Northern Minerals – an emerging rare earths company – for the future supply of concentrate from its planned mine at Browns Range in the Eastern Kimberley.

Eneabba marks an order of magnitude step change for domestic value addition to the country’s rare earth resources; and a foundation for potential further steps along the rare earths value chain in future, such as rare earth metallisation. Iluka continues to evaluate the production of rare earth metals, which would increase our reach and value to consumers in key and emerging markets.

In addition, Iluka’s downstream position in Australia – a stable jurisdiction and one respected for its high standards on safety, environmental management and sustainability – positions the company well for advancing value addition opportunities beyond metallisation. These future opportunities lie in the magnetisation of rare earth metals and alloys, as well as in the recycling of rare earth materials.

While we will consider these possibilities in time, for the present we are focused firmly on delivering the Eneabba refinery – the first step in what we regard as a company-defining transformation.

Rare earths are also highly complementary to Iluka’s longstanding mineral sands business. Across our operational and major project suite, rare earth minerals occur naturally alongside the company’s traditional zircon and titanium dioxide products. These minerals will now be refined by Iluka in Australia, with the value captured for our shareholders and stakeholders more broadly.

Unlocking Australian critical minerals

2022 saw further considerable advancement throughout Iluka’s minerals sands growth pipeline. These advancements facilitated our final investment decision for the Balranald development DFS ) for the and the approval of a definitive feasibility study ( Wimmera development, both occurring in February 2023.

For several years, Iluka has been investing substantially in new technologies targeted at unlocking Australian resources previously regarded as uneconomic. Balranald is a primary example of this investment focus. The remotely operated, underground mining ( UGM ) technology we have developed and will utilise at Balranald is akin to keyhole surgery for the mining of critical minerals. It enables commercial access to a rich deposit which, at 60 metres below surface, would not be viable through traditional extraction techniques. Furthermore, UGM’s sustainability benefits include a substantially reduced disturbance footprint and carbon intensity.

Balranald will deliver approximately 250 jobs during construction and approximately 270 jobs during operation including

2

contractors, with capital investment of approximately $480 million. As an important source of rutile, zircon, ilmenite (for upgrading to synthetic rutile) and rare earths, this development enhances Iluka’s portfolio offering of high grade, high quality critical minerals products produced in Australia.

Wimmera is a potential multi-decade source of rare earths and zircon. Alongside the approval of a DFS, Iluka has declared an Ore Reserve for Wimmera based on the value of its refined rare earths. This has been made possible as a result of the Eneabba refinery, which enables Iluka to capture additional value from the rare earth minerals in the Wimmera region that is not available to others. Again, this demonstrates the mutually reinforcing nature of our mineral sands and rare earths businesses.

One characteristic shared by deposits in the Wimmera region is higher levels of impurities in their zircon. Absent a processing solution to remove these impurities, the zircon is ineligible for sale into key markets, including the ceramics market, which accounts for approximately 60% of total zircon demand. Iluka has proven the technical viability of a zircon purification process at lab scale. We continue to conduct pilot scale testing, with the goal of then demonstrating the commercial viability of zircon purification via a demonstration plant, which will be progressed alongside the DFS.

Given our strategic and capital allocation priorities in Australia, in 2022 Iluka determined to demerge its business in Sierra Leone. This was executed in August, with Sierra Rutile listing independently on the ASX.

Our purpose: deliver sustainable value

Iluka’s evolution – diversifying into rare earths, investing in new technologies and consolidating and unlocking production in Australia – has taken place amid ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. The global economy continues to be impacted, directly and indirectly, by the after-effects of the COVID 19 pandemic. These include inflation and the return to more balanced monetary policy settings by central banks after years of stimulatory low interest rates. This has been coupled with further instability resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing energy crisis occurring in Europe in particular.

Confronted with this instability and uncertainty, Iluka’s financial results once again exhibited the resilience and cash generation capability of our company. Your Board is pleased at the extent to which the successful implementation of Iluka’s approach to operations, markets and project development has contributed to building this resilience.

We delivered record revenue of $1.73 billion, $589 million in NPAT, $444 million in free cash flow and total dividends of 45 cents per share. Our balance sheet strength is highlighted by a net cash position of $489 million, our 20% equity interest in Deterra, undrawn commercial bank facilities of $570m and a $1.25 billion non-recourse loan facility from the Commonwealth Government.

These results were underpinned by a strong sales and operational performance. Iluka effectively sold out of all our products in 2022, with zircon sales of 334 thousand tonnes and high grade titanium (rutile and synthetic rutile) sales of 386 thousand tonnes. The company’s zircon inventory is at a historically low level and Iluka remains focused on sustainable pricing for its high grade products. At the industry level, zircon and high grade titanium supply chains remained tight throughout 2022, reflecting supply disruptions from other major producers and as a result of the war in Ukraine.

With scarcity, security and reliability of supply increasingly prominent considerations for many downstream customers, Iluka’s portfolio offering of high grade, high quality critical minerals products produced in Australia sees the company well placed. In January, we concluded key offtake agreements for our synthetic rutile. New and existing customer commitments increased to approximately 200 thousand tonnes per year for the next four years, contracted under the ‘take or pay’ arrangements we first put in place to underpin the Cataby development in 2017.

All Iluka operations were at full capacity over the year. Mining at Cataby produced 501 thousand tonnes of heavy mineral concentrate ( HMC ), including 419 thousand tonnes of ilmenite for use as synthetic rutile kiln feed. Our Jacinth-Ambrosia mining operation moved from the depleted Jacinth North deposit to Ambrosia in August and produced a total of 351 thousand tonnes of HMC. The Narngulu mineral separation plant processed both Cataby and Jacinth Ambrosia feed, producing a total of 299 thousand tonnes of zircon and 55 thousand tonnes of rutile. Synthetic rutile kiln 2 ( SR2 ) at Capel had a record year of production, delivering 231 thousand tonnes. And our adjacent kiln, SR1, was successfully restarted in December 2022, providing an additional source of high grade titanium feedstocks. Production volumes from SR1 will be available for sale on a spot basis as planned.

Sustainability is central to everything we do at Iluka. Given the globally significant work we have embarked upon and the trust invested in us to deliver it, this has never been more important.

Our first and foremost responsibility is the safety of our people. In 2022, we achieved a 18% decrease in our Serious Potential Injury Frequency Rate, which has been an area of specific attention for some time. Our Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate was 6.9 – a focus for improvement.

Iluka’s commitment and performance in relation to environmental management was recognised by the Government of Western Australia in October, with the company receiving the Golden Gecko award for environmental excellence. This recognised the commissioning of our internally developed bespoke seeding machine, ‘Flora Restorer’, which has more than doubled the annual area rehabilitated to native vegetation at Eneabba and improved plant growth and diversity in the Kwongan ecosystem.

In closing, the past year has been perhaps the most momentous in our company’s proud history. As we look to a bright future and the opportunities within our reach, Iluka remains, as ever, committed to delivering for our shareholders.

Thank you for your support.

Mineral Sands Revenue

Iluka achieved record mineral sands revenue in 2022 of $1,727 million. The company was effectively sold out of Z/R/SR, with inventory levels at historic lows.

Zircon sales of 334 thousand tonnes (including 100 thousand tonnes of zircon in concentrate) exceeded production and zircon inventory is now at record lows. The zircon market was affected by a number of global economic headwinds in 2022 including softness in the Chinese construction sector and energy price increases in Europe. Nevertheless, the zircon industry continued to be characterised by supply tightness with a number of major producers experiencing disruptions and logistical challenges. Iluka is focused on being a disciplined and reliable supplier of zircon.

Rutile sales of 140 thousand tonnes were in line with production in the year. Sales volumes reduced from 2021 following the demerger of Sierra Rutile Limited in August 2022, which was Iluka’s dominant producer of natural rutile. Synthetic rutile sales exceeded production at 246 thousand tonnes.

Demand remained strong during the year for Iluka’s high grade feedstock despite slowing pigment demand especially in Europe and China.

Underlying Mineral Sands EBITDA

Underlying mineral sands EBITDA was $917 million. This reflects the strong sales result as prices increased across the product suite while supply constraints continued to impact the market.

The mineral sands business delivered excellent margins at 53% (2021: 42%)

Net Profit After Tax

Iluka reported a strong NPAT of $589 million, up from $366 million in 2021. NPAT included an earnings contribution of $30 million from Iluka’s 20% interest in Deterra Royalties.

Free Cash Flow

Iluka’s 20% stake in Deterra Royalties generated $36 million of cash flow, which was subsequently fully distributed to Iluka’s shareholders in accordance with Iluka’s Dividend Framework.

Capital expenditure was $153 million. This included: $42 million spent on the Eneabba Rare Earths development; ~$33 million on feasibility studies including Balranald, Euston, South West and Atacama deposits; $33 million on the SR1 restart, which commenced production in December; and the remainder on sustaining capital expenditure. The capital expenditure for 2022 also included $11 million spent on Sembehun while Sierra Rutile remained part of the Group. During 2022, $12 million was spent on advancing critical growth studies and research, including Wimmera and other rare earths and mineral sands opportunities that do not yet qualify as capital expenditure and are captured within operating cashflows.

Total tax payments of $104 million include $31 million for 2021 final tax payments paid in the first half of 2022. Iluka expects to make tax payments of $135 million in 2023 which relate to the 2022 financial results.

Net Cash (Debt)

As at 31 December 2022, Iluka reported a net cash position of $489 million, up from $295 million net cash as at 31 December 2021. Iluka continues to prioritise maintaining a strong balance sheet in the face of continued uncertainty due to global inflation and recessionary pressures driven by continued impacts of the global pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Iluka made the first drawdown of $41 million from the $1.25 billion loan from Export Finance Australia, underpinning the risk-sharing strategic partnership with the Australian Government to establish the first fully integrated rare earths refinery in the Western world.

ROE and ROC

Iluka reported return on equity of 33% and return on capital of 89%, reflecting another strong operational performance in the year.

Free cash flow was $444 million, up from $300 million in 2021.

Operations continued to generate very strong cashflows, with operating cash flow of $711 million in 2022, an increase over the $528 million generated in 2021.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

4. Resolution 4 – Grant of 2022 Executive Incentive Plan (EIP) award to the Managing Director

Resolution 4 relates to the grant of Restricted Rights and Performance Rights to the Managing Director, Tom O’Leary, as his incentive award under the Company’s Executive Incentive Plan (the EIP ) for the performance year from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022 ( 2022 EIP award ). This is the final award which will be made under the EIP and from 1 January 2023, the Company has transitioned to a new remuneration framework that replaces the EIP, as described in the next resolution.

The EIP was adopted in 2018 and provides an annual incentive award that drives performance against strategic, financial, production and sustainability metrics supporting the delivery of long-term sustainable value. Further information regarding the EIP can be found in Iluka’s Remuneration Report on pages 72 to 97 of the Annual Report.

Under Listing Rule 10.14, Shareholder approval is required for the issue of securities to a director under an employee incentive scheme. Accordingly, shareholder approval is being sought for the grant of Restricted Rights and Performance Rights to the Managing Director under the 2022 EIP award.

If shareholder approval is obtained, 142,502 Restricted Rights and 95,001 Performance Rights will be granted to the Managing Director, Tom O’Leary, at no cost as soon as practicable after the AGM and in any event within 12 months of the Meeting. If shareholder approval is not obtained, the Board will consider alternative arrangements to appropriately remunerate and incentivise Mr O’Leary.

(a) 2022 EIP outcome

For the 2022 performance year, the Managing Director had the opportunity to earn an award of Restricted Rights and Performance Rights, with a target value of 140% of his total fixed remuneration ( TFR ), being $1,960,000, and a maximum value of 210% of his TFR, being $2,940,000.

The actual value of the 2022 EIP award was determined at the end of a 12 month performance period (1 January 2022 – 31 December 2022) based on the following performance scorecard measures:

  • » Financial measures 50%: return on capital, group net profit after tax and unit cash costs of production;

  • » Strategic measures 25%: individual strategic objectives, linked to major business opportunities, priorities and risks for the year from the corporate plan and directed at positioning Iluka to deliver sustainable value over the longer term;

  • » Sustainability measures 15%: targets related to safety, diversity and inclusion, environmental, rehabilitation and climate change objectives based on a combination of industry best practice and continual improvement; and

  • » Production measures 10%: production targets relating to Group production of Zircon, Rutile and Synthetic Rutile.

13

ILUKA RESOURCES LIMITED - 2023 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Following the end of the performance period, the Board assessed achievement against these performance measures as being 84% of the Managing Director’s maximum opportunity, resulting in a 2022 EIP award of $2,479,400 of rights in respect of Iluka shares (see paragraph (b) below) to be granted to Mr O’Leary.

Information regarding achievement against the relevant performance scorecard measures is set out in Iluka’s Remuneration Report on pages 72 to 97 of the Annual Report.

(b) Delivery of award

The 2022 EIP award will be delivered to the Managing Director as a mix of:

  • » Restricted Rights (60%), subject to vesting in 4 equal tranches over a 4 year period; and

  • » Performance Rights (40%), subject to a further relative total shareholder return ( TSR ) test measured over a 5 year period ending 31 December 2026.

Restricted Rights and Performance Rights are used for the 2022 EIP award because they create share price alignment between the Managing Director and ordinary Shareholders but do not provide the Managing Director with the full benefits of share ownership (such as dividend and voting rights) unless and until they vest.

The number of rights comprising each component of the 2022 EIP award was determined by dividing the 2022 EIP outcome award by $10.4395, being the 5 day volume-weighted average price of Iluka Shares commencing on the day after the release of the Company’s 2022 results announcement. On this basis, the proposed grant to the Managing Director will comprise 142,502 Restricted Rights and 95,001 Performance Rights.

(c) Vesting of securities

Restricted Rights

Each Restricted Right is a right to acquire one fully paid ordinary Share in the Company at no cost on vesting. Under the 2022 EIP award, the Restricted Rights granted to the Managing Director will vest in equal tranches annually over 4 years. That is, one quarter of the Restricted Rights will vest following the completion of each of the financial years ending:

  • » 31 December 2023;

  • » 31 December 2024;

  • » 31 December 2025; and

  • » 31 December 2026.

Performance Rights

Each Performance Right is a right to acquire one fully paid ordinary Share in the Company at no cost on satisfaction of a performance condition. Under the 2022 EIP award, the Performance Rights granted to the Managing Director will vest subject to a relative TSR test, tested at the end of a 5 year period (1 January 2022 – 31 December 2026).

Vesting of the Performance Rights is subject to Iluka achieving a TSR that ranks at the 50th percentile or greater, relative to the TSRs of companies that form the comparator group over the performance period.

50% of the Performance Rights will vest for median performance, and 100% of the Performance Rights will vest where the Company is at or above the 75th percentile relative to the selected comparator group. Between median performance and the 75th percentile, vesting will be on a sliding scale between 50% and 100%.

Iluka’s comparator group for the 2022 EIP award is defined as the S&P / ASX 200 Resources Index (excluding companies primarily engaged in the oil and gas sector and non-mining activities) as at 1 January 2022 ( EIP Comparator Group ), being companies that operate within the resources industry and compete with Iluka for investment. The Board has discretion to make changes to the EIP Comparator Group in order to minimise or eliminate any material advantage or disadvantage to the Managing Director resulting from events beyond the Managing Director’s control (for example, if there is a corporate action at a comparator organisation).

14

(d) Additional terms

Additional terms of the 2022 EIP award are set out below:

(e) Information required under the Listing Rules

  • » The Managing Director of the Company, Mr O’Leary, falls under the Director category under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1.

  • » The Managing Director is the only Director (or associate of a Director) entitled to participate in the 2022 EIP award.

  • » The Managing Director’s current total remuneration is: » total fixed remuneration (including superannuation): $1,400,000; and

  • » at risk – equity: up to 210% of fixed remuneration, being $2,940,000, at maximum (140% of fixed remuneration, being $1,960,000, at target).

The Board (with Mr O’Leary abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

5. Resolution 5 – Grant of 2023 Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) award to the Managing Director

As outlined in the previous resolution, from 1 January 2023 the Company has transitioned to a new remuneration framework which replaces the EIP. The EIP was a single plan that combined elements of a short-term incentive award and a long-term incentive award. Following a review of the Company’s remuneration arrangements, and taking into account shareholder feedback, common market practice, as well as the optimal way to continue to reward and incentivise the Managing Director to deliver the Company’s objectives and execute its strategy, the Board has decided to adopt a new remuneration structure from the financial year that began on 1 January 2023 under a separate STI plan ( STIP ) and LTI plan ( LTIP ).

The existing performance hurdles of the EIP will continue to be used for the STIP and LTIP. The performance hurdles for the STIP will mirror the performance hurdles currently used for determining the award opportunity under the EIP, while the performance hurdles for the LTIP will mirror the performance hurdles currently used for determining the outcome of the deferred performance rights under the EIP.

15

ILUKA RESOURCES LIMITED - 2023 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

The Board has considered the quantum of the Managing Director’s remuneration opportunity, having regard to recent external independent benchmarking advice, as well as the long-term focus of the Company’s current growth projects and the need to keep the Managing Director adequately incentivised for the delivery of those projects. Since the Managing Director was appointed in 2016 there has been no increase to his fixed remuneration (there was an increase of 10% to his maximum incentive opportunity under the EIP in 2020). The Board has determined that the maximum award opportunity for the STIP should be 120% of annual fixed remuneration (consistent with the short term component of the EIP) and LTIP should be 120% of annual fixed remuneration. The Managing Director’s LTIP opportunity provides strong alignment with the delivery of the Company’s long term strategic objectives and the delivery of value to shareholders. The combined maximum award opportunity represents a modest increase on the EIP, which had a combined maximum award opportunity of 210% of annual fixed remuneration.

Please note that the 2022 EIP (i.e. the award the subject of Resolution 4) and the 2023 LTIP award (i.e. the award the subject of this Resolution 5) relate to different performance periods . However, due to a difference in the way in which the EIP and the LTIP are structured (where, for the EIP, equity is granted in the calendar year after the performance period to which the award relates, while for the LTIP, equity is granted during the calendar year to which the award relates), both awards are being put to Shareholders in the same year.

Under Listing Rule 10.14, Shareholder approval is required for the issue of securities to a director under an employee incentive scheme. Accordingly, shareholder approval is being sought for the grant of Performance Rights to the Managing Director, Tom O’Leary, as his incentive award under the LTIP for the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2026 ( Performance Period ) ( 2023 LTI award ).

If shareholder approval is obtained, 160,928 Performance Rights will be granted to the Managing Director, Tom O’Leary, at no cost as soon as practicable after the AGM and in any event within 12 months of the Meeting. If shareholder approval is not obtained, the Board will consider alternative arrangements to appropriately remunerate and incentivise Mr O’Leary.

(a) 2023 LTIP opportunity

For the 2023 LTIP, the Managing Director will have the opportunity to earn an award of Performance Rights with a maximum value of 120% of his TFR, being $1,680,000.

(b) Delivery of award

The 2023 LTIP award will be delivered to the Managing Director in Performance Rights.

Performance Rights are used for the 2023 LTIP award because they create share price alignment between the Managing Director and ordinary Shareholders but do not provide the Managing Director with the full benefits of share ownership (such as dividend and voting rights) unless and until they vest.

The number of Performance Rights proposed to be granted under the 2023 LTIP award was determined by dividing the Managing Director’s maximum 2023 LTI award opportunity by $10.4395, being the 5 day volume-weighted average price of Iluka Shares commencing on the day after the release of the Company’s 2022 results announcement. On this basis, the proposed grant to the Managing Director will comprise 160,928 Performance Rights.

(c) Performance condition

Each Performance Right is a right to acquire one fully paid ordinary Share in the Company at no cost on satisfaction of a performance condition. Under the 2023 LTIP award, the Performance Rights granted to the Managing Director will vest subject to a relative TSR test, tested at the end of a 4 year period (1 January 2023 – 31 December 2026).

Vesting of the Performance Rights is subject to Iluka achieving a TSR that ranks at the 50th percentile or greater, relative to the TSRs of companies that form the comparator group over the performance period.

50% of the Performance Rights will vest for median performance, and 100% of the Performance Rights will vest where the Company is at or above the 75th percentile relative to the selected comparator group. Between median performance and the 75th percentile, vesting will be on a sliding scale between 50% and 100%.

Iluka’s comparator group for the 2023 LTIP award is defined as the S&P / ASX 200 Resources Index (excluding companies primarily engaged in the oil and gas sector and non-mining activities) as at 1 January 2023 ( LTIP Comparator Group ), being companies that operate within the resources industry and compete with Iluka for investment. The Board has discretion to make changes to the LTIP Comparator Group in order to minimise or eliminate any material advantage or disadvantage to the Managing Director resulting from events beyond the Managing Director’s control (for example, if there is a corporate action at a comparator organisation). The extent to which the performance condition has been met will be assessed by the Board at the conclusion of the Performance Period. Following the Board’s assessment at the end of the Performance Period, any Performance Rights that remain unvested will automatically lapse.

16

(d) Additional terms

Additional terms of the 2023 LTIP award are set out below:

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage or number of votes for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage or number of votes for each in Step 1 overleaf.

Voting restrictions for members of the key management personnel (KMP): Please note that if you appoint a member of the KMP or one of their closely related parties as your proxy, they will not be able to vote your proxy on Resolutions 3, 4 and 5, unless you direct them how to vote or the Chairman of the Meeting is or becomes your proxy. If the Chairman of the Meeting is or becomes your proxy, but you do not mark a voting box for Resolution 3, 4 or 5, then by completing and returning this form, you will be expressly authorising the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise your proxy on the relevant Resolution as he thinks fit, even though the resolution is connected with the remuneration of the Company’s KMP.
