It brings together Australia’s tourism industry in a forum to showcase their products directly to tourism wholesalers and retailers from around the world. Cairns will be a busy place during this time and it is due to bookings for this event that we are unable to offer to our unitholders any discounted accommodation.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Notice is hereby given by Reef Corporate Services Ltd ABN 66 057 599 621 as responsible entity of Reef Casino Trust (Trust) that the annual general meeting of the Trust will be held in the Michaelmas Cay Ballroom, Level 1 of the Reef Hotel Casino, 35 Wharf Street, Cairns, Queensland on 12 May 2014 at 2 pm.

Ordinary Business

  1. Financial Statements and Reports

  2. To receive and consider the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report, and the Independent Auditor’s Report to the Unitholders for the year ended 31 December 2013.

  3. Change of Auditor

To consider and, if thought fit, pass the following ordinary resolution:

  • That the Unitholders accept the resignation of KPMG as auditor of Reef Casino Trust, subject to ASIC consent to the resignation and Ministerial and Chief Executive approval to the appointment of Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd.

Proxies or Representatives

A proxy form accompanies this notice of meeting. A Unitholder of the Trust who is entitled to attend and vote at the annual general meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote instead of the Unitholder at the meeting. A proxy need not be a Unitholder of the Trust.

A Unitholder appointing two proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy is appointed to exercise, and if the Unitholder does not do so the proxy may exercise half of the votes. The proxy form contains instructions for appointing two proxies.

The instrument appointing a proxy must be in writing signed by the appointer or that person's duly authorised proxy or attorney or, if the appointer is a body corporate, either under seal or otherwise executed as authorised by the constitution of the body corporate or signed by the appointer's duly authorised proxy or attorney.

A body corporate is able to authorise a representative to vote on its behalf. For corporate representatives a certificate must be executed under the common seal of that body corporate or otherwise as authorised by the body's constitution and must be produced at the meeting. The form required for that certificate can be obtained from the Trust's security registry.

Proxy forms and a copy of the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which the form is signed must be lodged at the Trust's security registry, Computershare Investor Services Pty Ltd, GPO Box 242, Melbourne Vic 3001 or at fax number 1800 783 447 (within Australia) or at fax number +61 3 9473 2555 (outside of Australia), not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting.

Entitlement to Vote

The directors have determined, in accordance with the Constitution of the Trust that Unitholders who are the registered holders of units at 7pm on Friday 9 May 2014 will be entitled to vote at the meeting.

By order of the Board

EXPLANATORY NOTES

Item 1 Annual Report

The Financial Report, the Directors’ Report, and the Independent Auditor’s Report to Unitholders for the year ended 31 December 2013 are set out in the 2013 Annual Report and can be viewed on the Trust’s website www.reefcasino.com.au/trust. There is no legal requirement for a formal resolution on this item. However in accordance with previous practice, a formal resolution is proposed and Unitholders will have the opportunity to vote on this item.

Item 2 Change of Auditor

The Trust’s current auditor is KPMG with the audit work being performed by the Cairns office. The former KPMG Cairns office has rebranded as Grant Thornton. All of the partners and staff from the KPMG Cairns office have moved to Grant Thornton and the audit team that has previously undertaken the Trust’s audit work remains intact within the Cairns office of Grant Thornton. The Board intends to continue the relationship with the current audit team which requires the resignation of KPMG and the appointment of Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd.

In accordance with Clause 21.2 of the Trust’s constitution Unitholder approval is required for the resignation of the auditor. It is therefore proposed that the resignation of the KPMG be accepted, subject to

  • Australian Securities & Investment Commission approval in accordance with the Corporations Act which is expected to be received prior to the annual general meeting; and

  • Unitholder approval of this item; and

  • The consent of the Chief Executive responsible for the administration of the Casino Control Act 1982 (Queensland) and the approval of the Minister under the Cairns Casino Agreement, to the appointment of Grant Thornton. These approvals have been sought and are expected to have been received by the time of the annual general meeting.

Subject to these approvals being obtained, the Responsible Entity’s appointment of Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd as auditor of the Trust will become effective from the close of this annual general meeting.

The Board recommends that Unitholders vote in favour of this resolution.
