Additional notes for Resolutions 1 & 5
Advisory vote for Resolution 1
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) requires the Shareholders to vote on an advisory resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted.
The Remuneration Report details the remuneration policies for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements for Directors and Key Management Personnel (identified for the purposes of the Accounting Standards). The Remuneration Report is set out on pages 25 to 33 of the 2019 Annual Report to Shareholders.
The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Board will however consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies. Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), if 25% or more of votes that are cast at the meeting are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGM's, Shareholders will be required at the second of those AGMs to vote on an additional resolution (Spill Resolution) that a further meeting be held within 90 days of the Spill Resolution. At that further meeting, all of the Company's Directors (other than any Managing Director) must go up for re-election.
Shareholders will recall that not more than 25% of the votes cast were cast against the 'remuneration resolution' at the 2018 AGM and therefore, there will be no requirement at this AGM for a Spill Resolution.
money3
The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about or make comments on the Report.
Voting restrictions & exclusion for Resolutions 1 & 5
Resolutions 1 and 5
Key Management Personnel (KMP) and their closely related parties are not permitted to vote on these Resolutions. KMPs of the Company are the Directors of the Company and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Company's KMPs for the financial year ending 30 June 2019. 'Closely related parties' are defined in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), and include certain of their family members, dependents and companies they control.
However, a KMP may cast a proxy where the proxy specifies in writing how the KMP is to vote (except proxies cast on behalf of another KMP). The Chair is permitted to vote undirected proxies where the Shareholder expressly authorises the chair to exercise the proxy.
Accordingly, if you have appointed the Chair as your proxy you must either direct the Chair how to vote or you must tick the box on the proxy form expressly authorising the Chair to vote undirected proxies notwithstanding that the Chair or KMP may benefit.
If you have appointed a KMP as your proxy and do not direct the KMP how to vote on Resolution 1, your votes will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.
If you have appointed the Chair as your proxy and do not direct the Chair how to vote or you do not mark the box authorising the Chair to vote undirected proxies, the Chair will not cast your votes on Resolution 1 and your votes will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this resolution.
The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of these Resolutions.
Additional restriction on Resolution 5
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.11.1, the Company will disregard votes cast in favour of this resolution by a Director of the Company and any associates of those Directors.
However, the Company need not disregard any such votes if:
(a) it is cast by any person referred to above as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
(b) it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
As the Chair of the meeting is also a Non-Executive Director, if you have appointed the Chair as your proxy you must either direct the Chair how to vote or you must tick the box on the proxy form expressly authorising the Chair to vote undirected proxies notwithstanding that the Chair may benefit.
If you do not direct the Chair how to vote or you do not mark the box authorising the Chair to vote undirected proxies, the Chair will not cast your votes on Resolution 5 and your votes will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this resolution
The Board encourages you to direct your proxy how to vote on this resolution. The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.
money3
If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolutions 1 & 5 by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the Voting Form for that item of business.
