This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with and forms part of the accompanying Notice. The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
This Explanatory Statement is an important document. It should be read carefully. The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
A Proxy Form is located at the end of this Explanatory Statement.
2. Action to be taken by Shareholders
Shareholders should read the Notice and this Explanatory Statement carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolution.
A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a "proxy") to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.
3. Resolution 1 – Non Binding Resolution to Adopt Remuneration Report
The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2014 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. The Board will however, take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the Annual Financial Report of the Company for the financial year.
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 Spill 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.
Previous Voting Results
