3. ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT – Resolution 1

3.1 General

Pursuant to section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2020 contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports on the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors and Key Management Personnel.

Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. Of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

3.2 Voting consequences

If at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report Resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a Resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.

If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
