The Notices nor the member’s statement from APAC made any objection to the Company’s remuneration structure.

The issues raised in the Notices and member’s statement from APAC have been resolved by subsequent changes in the composition of the board and the appointment of Brett Smith (APAC’s nominee) as a Director of the Company.

The resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its Directors. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report when reviewing the Company’s Remuneration policies.

Any undirected proxies held by the Chairman will be voted in favour of Resolution 1.

The Company encourages all Shareholders to cast their vote in relation to Resolution 1.
