  • (d) Notice of general meetings : provide further detail as to the information that should be included in a notice of general meeting and to provide the ability for the Secretary to postpone a general meeting.

  • (e) Resignation or retirement : provide that Directors must resign or retire from the Board if required to do so by the rules of the securities exchange on which the Company is listed and to clarify when retirement of a Director will take effect.

In addition, the Company is also proposing to take this opportunity to clarify certain provisions of the Bye-laws and to remove certain redundant provisions in the Bye-laws, as well as to correct certain clerical or typographical errors. There are also other proposed minor and consequential amendments to the Bye-laws.

1.2 Approval requirements

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.
