Appointment of a Proxy
For important information relating to the appointment of a proxy to vote on your behalf, please refer to Steps 1 and 2 overleaf.
Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote as they choose (subject to the voting restrictions set out in the Notice of Meeting). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the 'For', 'Against' or 'Abstain' box or boxes opposite each item of business. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your total number of shares or 100%.
Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of shares for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both proxyholders' names and the percentage of votes or number of shares in Step 1 and Step 3 overleaf. If you wish to give your second proxy different voting instructions, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning the Share Registry or you may copy this form.
Signing instructions for postal forms
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 lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If 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 this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
Attending the Meeting
Bring this form to assist registration. If a representative of a corporate shareholder or proxy is to attend the meeting you will need to provide the appropriate 'Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative' prior to admission.
