Under clause 57 of the Constitution, at each Annual General Meeting, one third of the Directors (or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest to but not exceeding one third) must retire from office. The Directors retire by rotation, with the Directors who have been the longest in office since being appointed or re-appointed being the Directors who must resign in any year. The Constitution ensures that no Director is able to remain in office for longer than 3 years without facing re-election. Each Director is entitled to offer himself for re-election as a Director at the Annual General Meeting which coincides with his/her retirement. The Managing Director is exempted by his office as managing director from the requirement to retire by rotation.

Mr. Lord retires by rotation (in accordance with the requirements of the Company’s Constitution) at the Annual General Meeting. As he is entitled and eligible for re-election, he seeks re-election as a Director of the Company at the meeting.

Mr. Lord is an independent non-executive Director of the Company. He is also Chairman of the Audit and Risk Management Committee and a member of the Corporate Governance Committee, Remuneration Committee and Nomination Committee.

Mr. Lord’s qualifications include a Bachelor of Economics (Honors) and an MBA (Distinctions). He is a member of the ASSA and the AICD. Mr. Lord has been Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Belgravia Group since 1990 and Executive Chairman of UXC Limited since September 2002. Mr. Lord is also Chairman of the LCM Litigation Fund Pty Ltd (formerly Australian Litigation Fund), Melbourne Victory Limited (since November 2004), and Terrain Capital Limited (since May 2002). He is also a Director of the following companies: Institute of Drug Technology Limited (since October 1998), Ausmelt Limited (since February 2001), KLM Group Limited (since May 2006), The MAC Services Group Limited (since April 2007), and Northern Energy Corporation Limited (NEC) (since December 2007).

Further details about Mr. Lord are set out in the Annual Report.

3. Re-election as a Director – Mr. Robert H. Wylie

Pursuant to the Company’s Constitution, the Directors may appoint any person as a Director to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors. A Director so appointed holds office until the next Annual General Meeting of the Company when the Director may be re-elected, but will not be taken into account in determining the number of Directors who must retire by rotation.

Mr. Wylie was appointed as an addition to the existing Directors of the Company on 2 September 2008 and, as he is entitled and eligible for re-election, he seeks re-election as a Director of the Company at the meeting.

Mr. Wylie has wide ranging experience in professional services in a variety of professional and management roles with Deloitte. Most recently he held senior executive positions with Deloitte & Touche USA LLP. Prior to this he was Deputy Managing Partner Asia Pacific.

This followed a 26 year career with Deloitte Australia, including 8 years as National Chairman. Mr. Wylie also served on the Global Board of Directors and the Governance Committee of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and the Global Board of Directors of Deloitte Consulting.

Mr. Wylie is also a former National President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Australia.
