Explanatory Note to the Business of the Meeting

Change of Company Name

General

The Directors of the Company have resolved, subject to Shareholder approval, to change the Company’s name to “Peako Limited” and the Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for that change in accordance with section 157 of the Corporations Act.

The Directors wish to re-brand the business with a more generalised name that better reflects the Company’s portfolio of interests.

The resolution is a Special Resolution and, as such, requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the Resolution, in order to be passed.

If the resolution is approved by Shareholders, the change of name will take effect from the date on which ASIC updates its register, which may take several weeks following the General Meeting. The Company’s ASX ticker code will be unchanged, remaining as PKO.

Recommendation

The Directors recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

  • (c) has appointed an attorney,

and such proxy, personal representative or attorney attends the Meeting, then such corporate shareholder will be unable to exercise any votes at the Meeting.

  • A duly appointed proxy need not be a Member.

  • This proxy form and any document necessary to show the validity of the form must be lodged with the Company not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the meeting. Any proxy lodged after that time will be treated as invalid.

In the case of joint holders of shares in the Company, all holders must sign.

  • Directors and Officers of corporate shareholders should note that unless the corporate shareholder either:

  • (i) completes and lodges with the Company a valid form of appointment of proxy; or

  • (ii) completes and either lodges with the Company a form of appointment of or certificate of appointment of personal representative in accordance with the provisions of Section 250D of the Corporations Act ( Act ) or causes such personal representative to attend the meeting with such form of appointment or certificate; or

  • Proxy and corporate representative appointment forms may be returned to the Company by delivery (by hand, mail, courier or facsimile) to the Company. at its Registered Office, at Level 21 500 Collins Street, Melbourne Vic 3000.

  • Corporate shareholders should comply with the provisions of Section 127 or Section 204A of the Act as applicable. Section 127 of the Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  • two directors of the company; or

  • a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  • for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary - that director. In this case the signatory must state this next to their signature.

Section 204A of the Act permits a proprietary company that does not have a company secretary to validly execute an instrument appointing a proxy if it is executed by the sole company director of that company and the person signing the proxy states that next to their signature.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in sections 129(5) and (6) of the Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with section 127(1) or (2) or section 204A of the Act. This effectively means the status of the person(s) signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) or section 204A as applicable. In all cases the person or persons signing the instrument of proxy will be deemed to have warranted and represented to the Company that the proxy is executed in accordance with sections 129(5) and (6) of the Act or section 204A of the Act as relevant.

8.

  • Where a Member completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends a meeting in person then the proxy's authority to speak and vote for that Member is suspended while the Member is present at that meeting.

  • Where a proxy form or form of appointment of or certificate of appointment of personal representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as a proxy.
