NOTES

  2. A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on behalf of the Shareholder. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company, but must be a natural person (not a corporation). A proxy may also be appointed by reference to an office held by the proxy (eg “the Company Secretary”).

  3. Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the Shareholder's voting rights. If no such proportion is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder's votes.

  4. A proxy form is enclosed. A separate form must be used for each proxy.

Any undirected proxies held by a Director, any member of the key management personnel or any of their closely related parties (who are not the Chair of the Meeting) will not be voted on Resolution 1. Key management personnel of the Company are the Directors and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Company’s key management personnel for the financial year 30 June 2013.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – NON BINDING RESOLUTION TO ADOPT REMUNERATION REPORT

The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2013 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the policy for the remuneration of the Directors and executives of the Company. Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote on the Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

However, pursuant to the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability for Director and Executive Remuneration) Bill 2010 which amended the Corporations Act from 1 July 2011, if the remuneration report for a company receives a “no” vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings of the company, a resolution must be put to the Shareholders of that company at the second annual general meeting as to whether a further general meeting should be held within 90 days at which all directors (other than the managing director) in office at the date of the second approved remuneration report must stand for re-election.

If you choose to appoint a proxy you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the proxy form for this item of business.

If you appoint a member of the key management personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or a closely related party of that member as your proxy, and you do not direct that person on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy cannot exercise your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

If you appoint the Chair as your proxy, and you do not direct the Chair on how to vote on this Resolution 1, then by signing and returning the proxy form you are giving express authorisation for

the Chair to vote in accordance with his or her intentions. The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies FOR Resolution 1 even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel.

Article 6.2 (b) of the Constitution states that the Directors may appoint any person as a Director.

If the Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting the Shareholder may appoint not more than 2 proxies. Where the Shareholder appoints more than one proxy the Shareholder may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If such proportion or number of votes is not specified each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder's votes. A proxy may, but need not be, a Shareholder of the Company.

  2. Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act which provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  6. For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2).

In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.
