Dear Sir / Madam,
VOTING RESULTS OF McPHERSON'S LIMITED ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.13.2 and section 251AA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), please find attached the results of voting on all resolutions considered at the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting today, including instructions given to validly appointed proxies and votes cast at the meeting on a poll.
Resolutions 2, 3, 4 and 5 relating to the Remuneration Report and the election and re-election of Directors were carried.
Resolution 6 relating to the approval of issue of performance rights to the CEO and Managing Director, Mr. Grant Peck, under the McPherson's Limited Performance Rights Plan, was not carried.
On his appointment the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Peck in relation to his employment and remuneration as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and as required under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange, shareholder approval was being sought under Agenda Item 6 for certain of the benefits to be provided to him in connection with his position, in particular the grant of performance rights to Mr. Peck in the current year.
As the resolution was not carried the employment agreement requires the Company to provide comparable cash-based payments and LTI structures in lieu of each element of the proposed Rights grants. The Board will give consideration to each of these elements and seek independent advice if deemed necessary.
Yours faithfully,
P.R. Bennett Company Secretary
This ASX announcement was approved and authorised for release by McPherson’s Limited Board of Directors.
