3: Adopt the remuneration report for the year ended 30 September 2015
The Corporations Act requires listed companies to present their remuneration report for adoption by shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting. The complete remuneration report can be found in the Annual Report of the Company, forming part of the Director's report.
Pursuant to section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the Company, however certain provisions of the Corporations Act, known as the "two strikes" rule, come into effect if the Remuneration Report resolution receives "against" votes of 25% or more of the votes cast at two consecutive Annual General Meetings.
The vote on this resolution is advisory only, and does not bind the directors or the Company.
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of resolution 3.
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of resolution 3.
Voting exclusion statement
A vote must not be cast (in any capacity) on Resolution 3 by or on behalf of the Company's key management personnel (including the directors), details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report ("KMP") or their closely related parties, whether as a shareholder or as a proxy. However, a vote may be cast on Resolution 3 by a KMP, or a closely related party of a KMP, if the vote is not cast on behalf of a KMP or a closely related party of a KMP and either: a) the vote is cast as a proxy appointed in writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on Resolution 3; or b) the vote is cast as a proxy by the Chairman of the Meeting and the proxy form expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even though Resolution 3 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the HGL Group's KMP.
Undirected proxy voting by the Chairman of the Meeting
If the Chairman of the Meeting is your proxy or is appointed your proxy by default, and you do not direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 3 on the proxy form, you will be expressly authorising the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise the proxy even though that resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel of the HGL Group or the Chairman of the Meeting is a KMP.
