eligibility to Attend and Vote

For the purpose of attending or voting at the AGM, shares will be taken to be held by the persons who are registered holders at 7.00pm (AEDT) on Tuesday 20 November 2018. Accordingly, share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the AGM.

Voting by proxy

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), a shareholder may attend the AGM and vote in person or may appoint a proxy to attend and vote on the shareholder’s behalf.

A member who is entitled to attend but prefers to use a proxy vote may appoint no more than two proxies. If two proxies are appointed the proportion of votes each proxy is entitled to exercise must be specified. If no proportion or vote number is specified, each proxy may exercise half the number of votes.

A proxy does not need to be a Shareholder. A body corporate appointed as a member’s proxy may appoint a representative to exercise any of the powers the body may exercise as a proxy at the AGM. The representative must bring to the AGM a properly executed letter or other document confirming that they are authorised to act as the body corporate’s representative.

If a Shareholder has not directed the proxy on how to vote, the proxy may vote as the proxy deems fit, and similarly if the Shareholder appoints the Chair of the AGM as proxy but does not direct the Chair on how to vote on an item, the Chair will vote in accordance with his voting intention as stated, namely in favour of each of the proposed resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting.

To be effective, the proxy form (and, if the appointment is signed by the appointer’s attorney, the authority under which it was signed or a certified copy of the authority) must be received by the Company’s share registry, Link Market Services Limited by no later than 48 hours prior to the commencement of the Annual General Meeting (2.00pm (AEDT) Tuesday 20 November 2018).

proxy voting by the Chair

The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of all proposed resolutions. In the event that there is a change to the Chairman’s intention to vote it will be announced on the Monash IVF Group website before the AGM. The Chairman’s decision on how to vote on all occasions is conclusive.

Where the Chair is appointed as a Shareholder’s proxy on Item 2, (or he becomes your proxy by default) and the Shareholder has not specified the way in which the Chair is to vote on Item 2, the Shareholder is directing the Chair to vote in accordance with the Chair’s voting intentions for these items of business.

Corporate representatives

A corporation may elect to appoint an individual to act as its representative in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) in which case the Company will require a Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative executed in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The Certificate must be lodged with the Company before the AGM or at the registration desk on the day of the AGM. The Company will retain the certificate.
