Voting Exclusion Statement
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , the Company will disregard any votes cast in respect of Agenda Item 2 (Remuneration Report) by any key management personnel of the Company and their closely related parties.
However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:
-
(a) It is cast by a person (including the key management personnel or their closely related parties) as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
-
(b) It is cast by a person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, where the proxy form does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on Agenda Item 2 but expressly authorises the person chairing the meeting to exercise the proxy even if Agenda Item 2 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel of the Company. The person chairing the meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Agenda Item 2.
For the purposes of this voting exclusion, “key management personnel” are the directors of the Company and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, either directly or indirectly. The Company’s Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 identifies the Company’s key management personnel for that financial year. Their “closely related parties” are defined in the Corporations Act 2001 , and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.

Any member entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of the member. If the member is entitled to cast two or more votes at the meeting, they may appoint two proxies. Where two proxies are appointed, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specified proportion or number of the member's voting rights. If the member does not specify the proportion or number of the member's voting rights that each proxy is to represent, each proxy will be entitled to exercise half the member's votes.
