2. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SECURITIES TO THE AMP VENDOR
2.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 100,000,000 Shares and 50,000,000 Options in consideration for the Acquisition.
A summary of the proposed Acquisition is set out in Section 1.1.

The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2 which excludes from the restrictions in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A an agreement to issue equity securities that is conditional on the holders of its ordinary securities approving the issue under Listing Rule 7.1 before the issue is made. The proposed issue therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
2.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and the Acquisition will not complete.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF PREVIOUS ISSUE OF SHARES UNDER THE PLACEMENT
5.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 128,800,000 Shares to the Placement Participants at an issue price of $0.025 per Share to raise $3,220,000 under the Placement. A summary of the Placement is set out in Section 1.3 above.
13
/1492_3
5.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.1 above.
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
5.3
Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
If this Resolution is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

9. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 8 TO 13 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE INCENTIVE OPTIONS
9.1 Background
The Company also announced that it has agreed to issue an aggregate of 125,000,000 incentive Options to its Directors and other consultants of the Company, subject to receiving shareholder approval.
Resolutions 8 to 10 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of an aggregate of 105,000,000 Options to the Directors of the Company and Resolutions 11 to 13 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of an aggregate of 20,000,000 Options to the consultants of the Company.
The Options will be exercisable at $0.045 on or before 31 January 2029 and are otherwise on the terms set out in Schedule 1.
The Company will apply for quotation of the Options exercisable at $0.045, subject to
ASX requirements being met.
10. RESOLUTIONS 8 TO 10 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE INCENTIVE OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS
10.1 General
These Resolutions seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of an aggregate of 105,000,000 Options to the Directors of the Company being Mr Ross Taylor, Mr David McArthur and Ms Coraline Blaud (or their nominee(s)).
Further details in respect of the Options proposed to be issued are set out in the table below.
| QUANTUM | RECIPIENT | RESOLUTION | EXERCISE PRICE | EXPIRY DATE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 35,000,000 | Ross Taylor | 8 | $0.045 | 5:00pm (WST) on 31 January 2029 |
| 35,000,000 | David McArthur |
9 | $0.045 | 5:00pm (WST) on 31 January 2029 |
| 35,000,000 | Coraline Blaud | 10 | $0.045 | 5:00pm (WST) on 31 January 2029 |
18
/1492_3
The Options are otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1.
10.2 Director Recommendation
Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominee(s)) are to be issued Options should these Resolutions be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on these Resolutions.
10.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
As Options are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
10.4 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
10.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue. The Company may therefore have to employ other methods to incentivise its Directors’ such as cash remuneration.

10.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Name of the persons to whom Securities will be issued |
The proposed recipients of the Options are set out in Section 10.1 above. |
| Categorisation under Listing Rule 10.11 |
Each of the proposed recipients falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as they are a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Any nominee(s) of the proposed recipients who receive Securities may constitute ‘associates’ for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.4. |
| Number of Securities and class to be issued |
The maximum number of Options to be issued (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 105,000,000 Options which will be allocated are set out in the table included at Section 10.1 above. |
| Terms of Securities | The Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1. |
| Date(s) on or by which the Securities will be issued |
The Company expects to issue the Options within 5 Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not issue any Securities later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). |
| Price or other consideration the Company will receive for the Securities |
The Options will be issued at a nil issue price. |
| Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
The purpose of the issue is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the proposed recipients to align the interests of the proposed recipients with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the proposed recipients in their roles as Directors and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate the proposed recipients, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the proposed recipients. |
20
/1492_3
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Consideration of type of Security to be issued |
The Company has agreed to issue the Options for the following reasons: (a) the issue of the Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders; (b) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the proposed recipients in respect of an issue of Options is also beneficial to the Company as it means the proposed recipients are not required to immediately sell the Options to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; (c) the issue is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Directors; and (d) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Options on the terms proposed. |
| Consideration of quantum of Securities to be issued |
The number of Securities to be issued has been determined based upon a consideration of: (a) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company; (b) the remuneration of the proposed recipients; and (c) incentives to attract and ensure the continuity of the services of the proposed recipients who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves. The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Securities upon the terms proposed. |
| Remuneration | The total remuneration package for each of the proposed recipients for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below: RELATED PARTY CURRENT FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2026 PREVIOUS FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 Ross Taylor $587,5001 $103,8174 David McArthur $565,2002 $81,5005 Coraline Blaud $810,5003 $5,0006 Notes: 1.

This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 1,011,904,447 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 1,116,904,447 (assuming that no Shares are issued and no other convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 9.40%, comprising 3.133% by Mr Taylor, 3.133% by Mr McArthur and 3.133% by Ms Blaud. |
|||||
| Market price | The market price for Shares during the term of the Options would normally determine whether or not the Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company. |

11. RESOLUTION 11 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE INCENTIVE OPTIONS – BROADWAY MANAGEMENT (WA) PTY LTD
11.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 10,000,000 Options to Broadway Management Pty Ltd (or its nominee(s)) as remuneration for additional services provided for its assistance with the Acquisition. Broadway Management Pty Ltd provides company secretarial services to the Company.
11.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 10.3 above.
The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and Broadway Management Pty Ltd is a related party of the Company by virtue of it being controlled by David McArthur who is a Director of the Company.
The Directors (other than David McArthur who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the agreement to issue the Options is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
11.3 Listing Rule 10.11
A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 10.4 above.
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
11.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue.

13. RESOLUTION 14 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SECURITIES TO UNRELATED PARTIES UNDER AN INCENTIVE PLAN
13.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) for the issue of a maximum of 100,000,000 Securities under the employee incentive scheme titled “Employee Incentive Securities Plan” ( Plan ).
25
/1492_3
The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees, contractors and other persons who provide services to the Company, and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Securities under the Plan will provide these parties with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.1 above.
Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.
13.2 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of Securities stated in Section 13.3 below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Securities under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of Securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the Securities.
13.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

The maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), following Shareholder approval, is 100,000,000] Securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately. The Company may also seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained. |

SCHEDULE 4 – TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PLAN
A summary of the material terms of the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) is set out below.
For the purposes of this summary, any reference to the term "exercise" in relation to Performance Rights shall be read and construed as "converts" .
| Eligible Participant | Eligible Participant means a person that is a ‘primary participant’ (as that term is defined in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time. |
|---|---|
| Purpose | The purpose of the Plan is to: (a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants; (b) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and (c) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Shares, Options, Performance Rights or other Convertible Security (Securities). |
| Maximum number of Convertible Securities |
The Company will ensure that any invitations under the Plan which are made within Australia and involve monetary consideration comply with the Corporations Act (as modified by any applicable ASIC instruments). The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(a)), following Shareholder approval, is 100,000,000 Securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities will be issued immediately. |
| Plan administration | The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion (except to the extent that it prevents the Participant relying on the deferred tax concessions under Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997(Cth)). The Board may delegate its powers and discretion. |
| Eligibility, invitation and application |
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for any (or any combination of) the Securities provided under the Plan on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation. |
| Grant of Securities | The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number and type of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required. |
| Rights attaching to Convertible |
AConvertible Securityrepresents a right to acquire one or more Plan Shares in accordance with the Plan (for example, an Option or a |
34
/1492_3
| Securities | Performance Right). Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, the holder: (a) does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share which may be issued on exercise of the Convertible Security other than as expressly set out in the Plan; (b) is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a meeting of the shareholders of the Company; (c) is not entitled to receive any dividends declared by the Company; and (d) is not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares (see Adjustment of Convertible Securities section below). |
|---|---|
| Restrictions on dealing with Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities issued under the Plan cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, have a security interest granted over or otherwise dealt with unless in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan (including in the case of death or total or permanent disability of the holder) with the consent of the Board. A holder must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. |
| Vesting of Convertible Securities |
Any vesting conditions applicable to the Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that security will lapse. |
| Forfeiture of Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities will be forfeited in the following circumstances: (a) where a Participant acts fraudulently, dishonestly, negligently, in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully breaches their duties to the Group and the Board exercises its discretion to deem some or all of the Convertible Securities held by a Participant to have been forfeited; (b) where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in accordance with the Plan; (c) on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or (d) on the expiry date of the Convertible Securities, subject to the discretion of the Board. |
| Listing of Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities granted under the Plan will not be quoted on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. The Board reserves the right in its absolute discretion to apply for quotation of Convertible Securities granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. |
| Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise |
To exercise a security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise (Exercise Notice) and, subject to a cashless exercise (see next paragraph below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Securities (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice. In the case of Options, subject to the Board’s approval, in lieu of paying the aggregate exercise price specified in the Exercise Notice, the Participant may elect a cashless exercise (Cashless Exercise) whereby the Board will issue to the Participant that number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) calculated in accordance with the |
35
/1492_3
| following formula: Where: S = number of Shares to be issued on the exercise of the Options. O = number of Options being exercised. MVS = market value of Shares, being the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the five trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise, unless otherwise specified in an invitation. EP = Exercise Price of the Options. For the avoidance of doubt, if the sum of the above calculation is zero or negative, then the holder will not be entitled to use Cashless Exercise. Convertible Securities may not be exercised unless and until that security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules. |
|
|---|---|
| Timing of issue of Shares and quotation of Shares on exercise |
Within five business days after the issue of a valid notice of exercise by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant. |
| Restriction periods and restrictions on transfer of Shares on exercise |
If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction. Additionally, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the following restrictions: (a) if the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act; (b) all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to restrictions imposed by applicable law on dealing in Shares by persons who possess material information likely to affect the value of the Shares and which is not generally available; and (c) all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the terms of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy (as set out on the Company’s website) |
| Rights attaching to Shares on exercise |
All Shares issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities will rank equally in all respects with the then Shares of the Company. |
| Change of control | Subject at all times to the Listing Rules, a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50% of the Company’s issued capital), unvested Convertible Securities will vest unless the Board determines in its discretion otherwise. The Board’s discretion in determining the treatment of any unvested Convertible Securities on a change of control event is limited to vesting or varying any vesting conditions in respect to the Convertible Securities and does not include a discretion to lapse or forfeit unvested Convertible Securities for less than fair value. |
36
/1492_3
| Participation in entitlements and bonus issues |
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs, Participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues. |
|---|---|
| Adjustment for bonus issue |
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the Participant is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised. |

Instructions for completing Proxy Form
1.
( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
- ( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
3.
( Signing instructions ):
-
( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.
-
( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.
-
( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.
-
( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001 ) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act 2001 to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.
4.
- ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.
