If you are not a registered Shareholder at the Record Date, you will not be entitled to vote in respect of that Share.
If you cannot attend the Meeting in person, you are encouraged to sign and deliver the accompanying proxy form and return it in accordance with the instructions set out below.
APPOINTMENT OF PROXIES
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting may appoint an individual or a body corporate as a proxy to attend the Meeting and, on a poll, vote on the Shareholder’s behalf. A proxy need not be a Shareholder.
A Shareholder entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. The enclosed proxy form provides further details on proxies and lodging proxy forms.
If a Shareholder appoints a member of KMP or a Closely Related Party of any member of KMP as proxy, the KMP or Closely Related Party is not able to vote proxies on Resolution 1 unless the Shareholder directs them how to vote by marking the boxes on the proxy form for Resolution 1.
If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy, the Shareholder can direct the Chairman how to vote by marking the relevant boxes on the proxy form (i.e. ‘for’, ‘against’ or ‘abstain’).
If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy and does not direct the Chairman how to vote on Resolution 1 on the proxy form, the Shareholder will be taken to have expressly authorised the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise the Shareholder’s proxy even though Resolution 1 is connected directly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP and/or even if the Chairman of the Meeting has an interest in the outcome of the Resolution.
Subject to the paragraphs above, if a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the Meeting as the Shareholder’s proxy and does not specify how the Chairman is to vote on a Resolution, the Chairman will vote, as proxy for that Shareholder, in favour of that resolution.
For Shareholders registered on the Australian register, section 250B of the Corporations Act stipulates that the proxies must be delivered prior to 10:00 am (Sydney time) on Tuesday, 28 May 2013 to:
