Resolution 2 - Re - Election of Director

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 13.2 of the Constitution, at every Annual General Meeting, one third of the Directors (or if the number of Directors is not a multiple of 3, then such number as is appropriate to ensure that no Director other than an alternate Director or the Managing Director holds office for more than 3 years) for the time being must retire from office by rotation and are eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire are those who have been in office for 3 years since their appointment or last re-appointment or who have been longest in office since their appointment or last re-appointment or, if the Directors have been in office for an equal length of time, by agreement.

These requirements for a Director to retire do not apply to a Managing Director (but if there is more than one Managing Director, only one is exempt from retirement).

In determining the number and identity of the Directors to retire by rotation, the Managing Director and any Director seeking election after appointment by the Board to fill a casual vacancy are not taken into account.

Mr Roger Steinepreis retires by rotation at this meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Mr Steinepreis graduated from the University of Western Australia where he completed his law degree. He was admitted as a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Western Australia in 1987 and has been practising as a lawyer for over 20 years.

He is the legal adviser to a number of public companies on a wide range of corporate related matters. His areas of practice focus on company restructures, initial public offerings and takeovers.

The Directors ( other than Mr Steinepreis) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
