Notice of AGM (continued)
Introduction (continued)
At the Annual General Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass resolutions:
(a) authorising the adoption of the Remuneration Report; and
- (b) authorising the re-election of Mr Gianfranco Tomasi as a Director of the Company.
The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information that the Board believes to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass these resolutions. It explains the resolutions and identifies the Board’s reasons for putting them to Shareholders. The Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Meeting.
Resolution 1: To Adopt the Remuneration Report
Section 298 of the Corporations Act requires the annual Directors’ Report to contain a Remuneration Report prepared in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act.
The Remuneration Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2009 is set out in the Directors’ Report contained in the 2009 Annual Report to Shareholders ( “Remuneration Report” ).
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Executive and Non-Executive Directors. A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting. In addition, the Corporations Act requires that Resolution 1, to adopt the Remuneration Report, be put to the vote. However, the vote on this Resolution is only advisory and does not bind the Company or its Directors.
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.
Resolution 2: To Re-elect Gianfranco Tomasi as a Director
Mr Gianfranco Tomasi was elected as a Director of the Company on 27 June 1988 and is required to resign pursuant to the rotation of directors rule in the Company’s Constitution. Mr Tomasi, being eligible, has offered himself for re-election as a Director of the Company.
Action to be taken by Shareholders
Shareholders should read this Explanatory Memorandum carefully before deciding how to vote on the resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting.
Attached to the Notice of Meeting is a proxy form for use by Shareholders. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Annual General Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, to complete, sign and return the proxy form to the Company in accordance with the instructions contained in the proxy form and the Notice of Meeting. Lodgement of a proxy form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Annual General Meeting in person.
