Voting in person (or by attorney)
Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and attendance recorded. Attorneys are required to produce an original or certified copy of the power of attorney under which they have been authorised to attend and vote at the meeting to the Company at least 48 hours before the meeting and should bring with them that power of attorney with them to the meeting.
Voting by a corporation
A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the Meeting.

Proxy appointments in favour of the Chairman, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction as to how to vote will be used where possible to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions.

Corporations Act considerations
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of a public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions; or
-
(b) prior Shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.
A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act is defined widely and includes a director of the public company.
13
A “financial benefit” for the purposes of the Corporations Act also has a very wide meaning. It includes the public company paying money or issuing securities to a related party.
Each of the Directors is a related party of the Company.
It is the view of the Directors that the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act (reasonable remuneration) applies as the issue of Shares is in lieu of fees for the already agreed terms of each Director’s remuneration.
Accordingly, the Directors are not seeking Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act for Resolutions 4 to 7.
SLR Consulting Pty Ltd and Professor M.H. Zheng are not related parties of the Company, therefore Chapter 2E does not apply to the issue of Shares to them or their nominees as proposed in Resolutions 8 and 9.
Resolutions 4 to 7 – Issue of Shares to Directors in lieu of fees
The following further information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13:
-
(a) Shares will be issued to Dr Stewart Washer, Mr Matt Callahan, Professor Lars Lidgren and Mr Qi Xiao Zhou (or their nominees) as noted above.
-
(b) The maximum number of Shares to be issued to Dr Stewart Washer, Mr Matt Callahan, Professor Lars Lidgren and Mr Qi Xiao Zhou or their nominees will be calculated in respect of each month in accordance with the following formula:

The monthly fees and relevant periods are set out in the table on pages 10- 11.
-
(c) The Shares will be issued within 4 months after the date of the Meeting, progressively, as set out in the table on page 12.
-
(d) Each of Dr Stewart Washer, Mr Matt Callahan, Professor Lars Lidgren and Mr Qi Xiao Zhou are directors of the Company and, as such, each of them is a related party of the Company.

-
(g) No funds will be raised from the issue as the Shares will be issued in lieu of fees.
If approval is given for the grant of the Shares under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolutions 8 and 9 – Issue of Shares to SLR Consulting Pty Ltd and Professor M.H. Zheng in lieu of fees
As noted above, Listing Rule 7.1 requires Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of securities in the Company. Listing Rule 7.1 broadly provides, subject to certain exceptions, that Shareholder approval is required for any issue of securities by a listed company, where the securities proposed to be issued represent more than 15% of the Company's securities then on issue.
The following information in relation to the Shares to be issued is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:
- (a) The maximum number of Shares to be issued to SLR Consulting Pty Ltd and Professor M.H. Zheng or their nominees will be calculated in respect of each month set out in table below in accordance with the following formula:
