3. RESOLUTIONS 9 to 11 – APPROVAL OF GRANT OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS
3.1 General
The Company proposes to grant 8,000,000 options to Mr Benjamin Chow, 5,000,000 options to Mr Qinglong Zeng and 5,000,000 options to Mr Biaozhun Zhu or their nominees, for nil consideration at an exercise price of 8 cents, expiring 16 November 2023 ( Options ).

Mindax Limited – Addendum to Notice of Annual General Meeting
3.2 Related Party Transactions Generally
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) prior Shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.
For the purposes of Chapter 2E, Directors and persons who were a related party in the previous six months are considered to be related parties of the Company.
Resolutions 9 to 11 provide for the grant of Options to related parties which is a financial benefit requiring Shareholder approval. For the purpose of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act the following information is provided.
3.3 The related party to whom the prosed Resolution would permit the financial benefit to be given
Subject to Shareholder approval, the Options the subject of Resolutions 9 to 11 will be granted to Messrs Chow, Zeng and Zhu, or their nominees, within one month of the passing of these Resolutions. Messrs Chow, Zeng and Zhu are Directors of the Company and therefore classified as a related party.
3.4 The nature of, reasons for and basis for the financial benefit
The proposed financial benefit is the grant of 8,000,000 options to Mr Chow, 5,000,000 options to Mr Zeng and 5,000,000 options to Mr Zhu or their nominees, for no issue price. Each Option will allow Mr Chow, Mr Zeng and Mr Zhu to subscribe for one ordinary fully paid Share in the Company. The Options have an exercise price of 8 and expire on 16 November 2023.
The Options form part of Mr Chow, Mr Zeng and Mr Zhu’s incentive for continuing and future efforts. The issue of Options to Mr Chow, Mr Zeng and Mr Zhu is subject to Resolutions 9, 10 and 11 being passed. Options are considered to be the appropriate incentive given the Company’s current size and stage of development, being an exploration company endeavouring to preserve cash reserves. If Mr Chow, Mr Zeng and Mr Zhu are to derive any value from the Options, the market Share price must be in excess of the exercise price at the time of exercise. As the exercise price of the Options is at a premium to the most recent closing Share price prior to the date of this Notice, being the date when the Company’s securities were suspended from ASX, the Options represent an incentive to Mr Chow, Mr Zeng and Mr Zhu to achieve this increase in the Share price, which would result in an increase in Shareholder value.
3.5 Directors’ recommendation
All directors, except Mr Chow, recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9. Mr Chow does not wish to make a recommendation about the proposed Resolution 9 as he may potentially receive a financial benefit from the passing of the Resolution in relation to the grant of Options and does not consider himself sufficiently independent to make a recommendation.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 9.
All directors, except Mr Zeng, recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10. Mr Zeng does not wish to make a recommendation about the proposed Resolution 10 as he may potentially receive a financial benefit from the passing of the Resolution in relation to the grant of Options and does not consider himself sufficiently independent to make a recommendation.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 10.
8
Mindax Limited – Addendum to Notice of Annual General Meeting
All directors, except Mr Zhu, recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11. Mr Zhu does not wish to make a recommendation about the proposed Resolution 11 as he may potentially receive a financial benefit from the passing of the Resolution in relation to the grant of Options and does not consider himself sufficiently independent to make a recommendation.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 11.
3.6 Interests of Directors
Mr Chow has noted his interest in the approval of Resolution 9 in relation to the Options.
Mr Zeng has noted his interest in the approval of Resolution 10 in relation to the Options.
Mr Zhu has noted his interest in the approval of Resolution 11 in relation to the Options.
3.7 Any other information that is reasonably required to make a decision known to the Company or any of its officers
-
(a) The proposed Resolutions would have the effect of giving power to the Directors to grant 8,000,000 Options to Mr Chow, 5,000,000 Options to Mr Zeng and 5,000,000 Options to Mr Zhu or their nominees.
-
(b) The exercise of the Options is subject to the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement and as otherwise mentioned above.
-
(c) The Directors, in conjunction with the Company's advisers, have provided an indicative value to the Options by reference to the Black-Scholes valuation method.

(h) The market price of the Company's Shares during the term of the Options will normally determine whether or not the Option holder exercises the Options. At the time any Options are exercised and Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options, the Company's Shares may be trading at a price which is higher than the exercise price of the Options.
-
(i) The Options will not be quoted on ASX and as such have no actual market value. The fully paid ordinary Shares of the Company have been traded on ASX since December 2004. During the twelve months prior to the date of this notice the Shares have traded in the range of 3.4 cents to 5.9 cents. The Company has been suspended from trading on ASX since 28 February 2022. The most recent closing price prior to suspension was 5.9 cents. The Options are capable of being converted to Shares by payment of the exercise price.
-
(j) Under the Australian equivalent of IFRS, the Company is required to expense the value of the Options in its profit or loss for the current financial year. Other than as disclosed in this Explanatory Statement, the Directors do not consider that from an economic and commercial point of view there are any costs or detriments, including opportunity costs or taxation consequences for the Company or benefits foregone by the Company, in granting the Options to Mr Chow, Mr Zeng and Mr Zhu or their nominees pursuant to Resolution 9, 10 and 11.
-
(k) Neither the Directors nor the Company are aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to the financial benefits contemplated by Resolutions 9,10 and 11.
3.8 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1. a related party;
-
10.11.2. a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3. a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has
10
Mindax Limited – Addendum to Notice of Annual General Meeting
nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4. an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5. a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of the Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 9, 10 and 11 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options to related parties under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.
3.9 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 9,10 and 11 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to the respective related party within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity
If Resolutions 9, 10 and are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options and the Company will consider alternative incentive strategies, including potentially increasing current cash remuneration to directors.
3.10 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Listing Rule 10.13 requires that information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 as follows:
-
(a) The Options will be issued to Mr Chow, Mr Zeng and Mr Zhu (or their nominees) as they fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a Director of the Company.
-
(b) The maximum number of Options to be issued to Mr Chow (or his nominees) is 8,000,000 (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given). The maximum number of Options to be issued to Mr Zeng (or his nominees) is 5,000,000 (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given). The maximum number of Options to be issued to Mr Zhu (or his nominees) is 5,000,000 (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given).
-
(c) The Options will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow).
-
(d) The Options will be issued at an exercise price of 8 cents and expire on 16 November 2023.
-
(e) The purpose of the issue of the Options is to provide an incentive for continuing and future efforts and align the interests of Mr Chow, Mr Zeng and Mr Zhu with those of Shareholders and to provide a cost effective way for the Company to remunerate Mr Chow, Mr Zeng and Mr Zhu which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given. Mr Chow’s current total remuneration package is $269,500 plus the provision of a fully maintained motor vehicle, Mr Zeng’s current total remuneration package is $35,750 (inclusive of superannuation) and Mr Zhu’s current total remuneration package is $35,750 (inclusive of superannuation).
-
(f) The Options will be issued on the terms and conditions outlined in Annexure A and are not being issued under an agreement.

(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

(h) No funds will be raised from the issue of the Options.
4. RESOLUTIONS 12 and 13 – APPROVAL OF GRANT OF OPTIONS
4.1 General
The Company proposes to grant 5,000,000 options to Mr Yui Kai and 5,000,000 options to Mr Lui Zhaoping or their nominees, for nil consideration at an exercise price 8 cents, expiring 16 November 2023 ( Options ). Mr Yui Kai and Mr Lui Zhaoping are directors of Yilgiron Pty Ltd, a legal subsidiary of Mindax, whereby Mindax owns 80.06% of the issued capital of Yilgiron Pty Ltd.
The full terms of the Options are set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement.
The Directors consider that the grant of Options is a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide a reward and incentive.
In the event all the Options are exercised, Mr Kai (or his nominees) will need to pay a total of $400,000 and Mr Zhaoping (or his nominees) will need to pay a total of $400,000 to the Company.
4.2 Related Party Transactions Generally
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) prior Shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.
For the purposes of Chapter 2E, Directors and persons who were a related party in the previous six months are considered to be related parties of the Company.
Resolutions 12 and 13 provide for the grant of Options to a related party which is a financial benefit requiring Shareholder approval. For the purpose of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act the following information is provided.
4.3 The related party to whom the prosed Resolution would permit the financial benefit to be given
Subject to Shareholder approval, the Options the subject of Resolutions 12 to 13 will be granted to Mr Kai and Mr Zhaoping, or their nominees, within one month of the passing of these Resolutions. Mr Kai and Mr Zhaoping are Directors of the Company’s subsidiary company and classified as a related party.
12
Mindax Limited – Addendum to Notice of Annual General Meeting
4.4 The nature of, reasons for and basis for the financial benefit
The proposed financial benefit is the grant of 5,000,000 options to Mr Kai and 5,000,000 options to Mr Zhaoping or their nominees, for no issue price. Each Option will allow Mr Kai and Mr Zhaoping to subscribe for one ordinary fully paid Share in the Company. The Options have an exercise price of 8 cents and expire on 16 November 2023.
The Options form part of Mr Kai and Mr Zhaoping’s incentive for continuing and future efforts. The issue of Options to Mr Kai and Mr Zhaoping is subject to Resolutions 12 and 13 being passed. Options are considered to be the appropriate incentive given the Company’s current size and stage of development, being an exploration company endeavouring to preserve cash reserves. If Mr Kai and Mr Zhaoping are to derive any value from the Options, the market Share price must be in excess of the exercise price at the time of exercise. As the exercise price of the Options is at a premium to the most recent closing Share price prior to the date of this Notice, being the date when the Company’s securities were suspended from ASX.
4.5 Directors’ recommendation
All directors of Mindax Limited recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 12 and 13.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 12 and 13.
4.6 Interests of Directors
Mr Kai and Mr Zhaoping have noted their interest in the approval of Resolutions 12 and 13 in relation to the Options.
4.7 Any other information that is reasonably required to make a decision known to the Company or any of its officers
-
(a) The proposed Resolutions would have the effect of giving power to the Directors to grant 5,000,000 Options to Mr Kai and 5,000,000 Options to Mr Zhaoping or their nominees.
-
(b) The exercise of the Options is subject to the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement and as otherwise mentioned above.
-
(c) The Directors, in conjunction with the Company's advisers, have provided an indicative value to the Options by reference to the Black-Scholes valuation method.
-
(d) The total value of the Options to be issued is outlined in Table 1 below. If Options granted to Mr Kai and, Mr Zhaoping or their nominees, are exercised, the effect would be to dilute the Shareholdings of the existing Shareholders.

At the time any Options are exercised and Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options, the Company's Shares may be trading at a price which is higher than the exercise price of the Options.
-
(i) The Options will not be quoted on ASX and as such have no actual market value. The fully paid ordinary Shares of the Company have been traded on ASX since December 2004.

4.8 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
14
Mindax Limited – Addendum to Notice of Annual General Meeting
-
10.11.1. a related party;
-
10.11.2. a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3. a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4. an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5. a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of the Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 12 and 13 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options to related parties under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.
4.9 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 12 and 13 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to the respective related parties within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity
If Resolutions 12 and 13 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options and the Company will consider alternative incentive strategies, including potentially increasing current cash remuneration to Mr Kai and Mr Zhaoping.
4.10 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Listing Rule 10.13 requires that information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 as follows:
-
(a) The Options will be issued to Mr Kai and Mr Zhaoping (or their nominees).
-
(b) The maximum number of Options to be issued to Mr Kai (or his nominees) is 5,000,000 (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given).

(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

(h) No funds will be raised from the issue of the Options.
5. SECTION 195 APPROVAL
5.1 General
In accordance with section 195 of the Corporations Act, a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a "material personal interest" are being considered.
As the terms of the Options proposed to be issued to Mr Chow, Mr Zeng and Mr Zhu under Resolutions 9, 10 and 11 respectively are identical, the Directors may have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 9, 10 and 11.
In the absence of this Resolution 14, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at Board meetings necessary to carry out the terms of Resolutions 9,10 and 11.
The Directors accordingly exercise their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue to Shareholders to resolve.
Resolution 14 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders entitled to vote on it.
5.2 Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 14 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. The Directors have formed this view as the passing of this Resolution will ensure that the Board is able to carry out the terms of Resolutions 9, 10 and 11, if those Resolutions are approved by Shareholders.
6. RESOLUTIONS 15 to 17 APPROVAL OF GRANT OF OPTIONS
6.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing securities representing more than 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period, without the prior approval of its shareholders (subject to certain exceptions). Accordingly, Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the following Options in the Company:
-
i. Resolution 15 the issue of 5,000,000 Options;
-
ii. Resolution 16 the issue of 2,000,000 Options; and
-
iii. Resolution 17 the issue of 2,000,000 Options.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
The issue of the Options contemplated in Resolutions 15 to 17 does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Options.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolutions 15 to 17 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of the Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
Information required by Listing Rule 7.3
16
Mindax Limited – Addendum to Notice of Annual General Meeting
The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3.
-
(a) The maximum number of securities that will be issued under Resolution 15 is 5,000,000. The maximum number of securities that will be issued under Resolution 16 is 2,000,000 and the maximum number of securities that will be issued under Resolution 17 is 2,000,000.
-
The Options contemplated in Resolutions 15 to 17 have an exercise price of 8 cents per share and expire on 16 November 2023.
-
(b) Any Options issued in accordance with Resolutions 15 to 17 will be issued and allotted within 3 months from the date of the AGM (or such later date as approved by ASX).
-
(c) The Options will be issued for nil cost.
-
(d) The Options noted in Resolution 15 will be issued Mr Jinping Qi, or his nominees. The Options noted in Resolution 16 will be issued Mr Jiangjian Zhu, or his nominees and the Options noted in Resolution 17 will be issued to the Company Secretary, Mr Dennis Wilkins, or his nominees.
-
(e) No funds raised will be raised by the issue of Options.
-
(f) The purpose of the issue of Options is to reward and incentivise Mr Jinping Qi, Mr Jiangjian Zhu and Company Secretary, Mr Dennis Wilkins.
-
(g) The allotments relating to Resolution 15 will occur as a single allotment and on the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure A of this Notice and are not being issued under an agreement. The allotments relating to Resolution 16 will occur as a single allotment and on the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure A of this Notice and are not being issued under an agreement. The allotments relating to Resolution 17 will occur as a single allotment and on the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure A of this Notice and are not being issued under an agreement.
-
(h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
6.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 15 to 17 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options within three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is being requested for the issue of the Options, the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 15 to 17 are not passed, the Company may consider issuing the Options under the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
6.3 Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors of the Company unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 15 to 17.

MINDAX LIMITED - ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Company has determined that Shareholders will be able to attend and participate in the Meeting through an online platform provided by Advanced Share Registry. To facilitate such participation, voting on each Resolution will occur by a poll rather than a show of hands.
A live webcast and electronic voting via www.advancedshare.com.au/virtual-meeting will be offered to allow Shareholders to attend the Meeting and vote online. Please refer to the Meeting ID and Shareholder ID on the proxy form to login to the website.
Shareholders may submit questions ahead of the Meeting via the portal.
HOW TO COMPLETE THIS SHAREHOLDER PROXY FORM
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND AND VOTE AT THE MEETING, PLEASE BRING THIS FORM WITH YOU. THIS WILL ASSIST IN REGISTERING YOUR ATTENDANCE.
CHANGE OF ADDRESS
This form shows your address as it appears on Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes.
APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY
If you wish to appoint the Chair as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.
DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING
If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chair of the Meeting.
VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any resolution by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid.
PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
If you wish to appoint a Director (other than the Chair) or other member of the Company’s key management personnel, or their closely related parties, as your proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Resolutions 1, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13, by marking the appropriate box. If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for Resolutions 1, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct them how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chair may vote as they see fit on that resolution.
APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY
You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
-
(a) on each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and
-
(b) return both forms together.
CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES
If a representative of a nominated corporation is to attend the Meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced prior to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.
SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROXY FORM
Individual:
Where the holding is in one name, the security holder must sign.
Joint Holding:
Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the security holders should sign.
Power of Attorney:
If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with Advanced Share Registry, please attach the original or 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 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.
