Explanatory Memorandum

Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting to which this Explanatory Memorandum is attached and forms part of. Please take the time to read through this document.

Financial reports

Whilst the Corporations Act requires the financial report, directors’ report and auditors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2019 to be laid before the Annual General Meeting, neither the Corporations Act or the Constitution requires shareholders to vote on, approve or adopt those reports.

Shareholders will, however, have a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to raise questions on these reports. Each shareholder will have had access to a copy of the Annual Report, which contains the financial report, directors’ report and auditors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2019.

In addition to asking questions at the Annual General Meeting, shareholders may address written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company or to the Company’s auditor, BDO Audit Pty Ltd ( BDO ), if the question is relevant to:

  1. the content of the auditor’s report; or

  2. the conduct of its audit of the annual financial report to be considered at the Annual General Meeting.

Under section 250PA(1) of the Corporations Act, a shareholder must submit the question to the Company no later than the fifth business day before the day on which the Annual General Meeting is held. Written questions for the auditor must therefore be delivered by 5 pm (AEST) on 12 May 2020. Please send any written questions for BDO to:
