2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
2.2
Voting consequences
Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

7.2
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
Issues made with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 can be ratified under Listing Rule 7.4.
This share issue was made under the Company’s 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

-
(f) the purpose of the share issue was the payment of professional fees for the services relating to promotion of the Company.
8. RESOLUTION 7 AND 8 - APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS AND OPTIONS TO THE RELATED PARTIES
8.1 General
On 14 July 2014, the Company announced the appointment of Jack Hamilton as Non-Executive Chairman.
On 15 August 2014, the Company announced the appointment of Gary Grubitz as Non-Executive Director.
Dr Hamilton and Mr Grubitz by virtue of their roles as directors of the Company are related parties of the Company under the Corporations Act ( Related Parties ).
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue the following securities to the Related Parties as per their services agreements
-
(a) 1,000,000 Class B Performance Rights; and
-
(b) 3,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.20 and expiring 5 years from date of issue; and
-
(c) 3,000,000 Partly Paid Shares.
(the Related Party Securities ) on the terms and conditions set out below.
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
11
Antilles Oil and Gas NL ABN 62 111 823 762
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of the Related Party Securities constitutes giving a financial benefit and Dr Hamilton and Mr Grubitz are related parties of the Company because they are Directors.
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 may not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Related Party Securities to the Related Parties.
8.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Related Party Securities:
-
(a) the related parties are Dr Hamilton and Mr Grubitz. Dr Hamilton and Mr Grubitz are related parties by virtue of being Directors of the Company;
-
(b) the maximum number of Related Party Securities (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be issued to the Related Parties is:
-
(i) 1,000,000 Class B Performance Rights to Dr Hamilton; and
-
(ii) 3,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.20 and expiring five year from date of issue to Mr Grubitz; and
-
(iii) 3,000,000 Partly Paid Shares to Dr Hamilton.
-
(c) The Performance Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule B and convert into one Share upon the occurrence of the following events within three years from the date of issue of the Performance Rights:
-
(i) Class B Performance Rights will vest and convert to an equivalent number of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company on the completion of a further capital raising by the Company in excess of A$10,000,000 or the Company achieving a market capitalisation of greater than A$30,000,000 for five consecutive days;
-
(d) the Related Party Securities will be issued to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Related Party Securities will be issued on one date;
-
(e) other than the Partly Paid Shares, which are payable to $0.01 when issued, the Related Party Securities will be issued for nil cash consideration. The issue of the Partly Paid Shares will raise $30,000 and these funds will be applied towards general working capital;

Antilles Oil and Gas NL ABN 62 111 823 762

(l) the proposed remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related Parties for the current financial year are set out below:
| Related Party | Current Financial Year |
|---|---|
| Jack Hamilton | $60,000 |
| Gary Grubitz | $60,0001 |
1 Superannuation and non-salary benefits not included.
(m) If the Options granted to Mr Grubitz are exercised, a total of 3,000,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 28,540,811 to 31,540,811 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 9.52%. The market price for Shares during the term of the Options would normally determine whether or not the Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company;
(n) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:

(o) the primary purpose of the issue of the Related Party Securities to the Related Parties is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their respective roles;
-
(p) Dr Jack Hamilton declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of that Resolution on the basis that he is to be issued Class B Performance Rights in the Company should Resolution 7 be passed. However, in respect of Resolution 8, Dr Hamilton recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of that Resolution for the following reasons:
-
(i) the issue of Related Party Securities to Mr Grubitz will align the interests of Mr Grubitz with those of Shareholders;
-
(ii) the issue of the Related Party Securities is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective payments for consultancy services as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of payments for services were given to the Related Parties; and
-
(iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Securities upon the terms proposed;
-
(q) Mr Gary Grubitz declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 8 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of that Resolution on the basis that he is to be issued Options in the Company should Resolution 8 be passed. However, in respect of Resolution 7, Mr Grubitz recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of that Resolution for the following reasons:
-
(i) the issue of Related Party Securities to Dr Hamilton will align the interests of Dr Hamilton with those of Shareholders;
-
(ii) the issue of the Related Party Securities is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective payments for consultancy services as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of payments for services were given to Dr Hamilton; and
-
(r) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Securities upon the terms proposed;
-
(s) with the exception of Dr Hamilton, in relation to Resolution 7, and Mr Grubitz in relation to Resolution 8, in which they have a material personal interest, no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 7 and 8;
-
(t) David Ormerod and Damian Black (being the independent directors of the Company) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 7 and 8 for the reasons set out in paragraphs (k) and (p);
14
Antilles Oil and Gas NL ABN 62 111 823 762
-
(u) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each Related Party, the current market price of Shares and the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Securities to be issued; and
-
(v) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 7 and 8.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Securities to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Securities to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
9. RESOLUTION 9 - APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY
9.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Facility ).
The Company is an Eligible Entity.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 9, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in section 9.2 below).
The effect of Resolution 9 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Facility during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement Facility granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 9 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 9 for it to be passed.
9.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $2,425,969 based on the amount of Shares on issue and closing price of Shares on 8 April 2015.
15
Antilles Oil and Gas NL ABN 62 111 823 762
Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: AVD).
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and
-
(iv) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
-
D is 10%.
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
9.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 9:
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in section 9.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
16
Antilles Oil and Gas NL ABN 62 111 823 762
(b) Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),
( 10% Placement Facility Period ).
(c)
Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 9 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Facility.
| Number of Shares on Issue (Variable ‘A’ in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2) |
Dilution | Dilution | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Issue Price (per Share) |
0.0425 50% decrease in Issue Price |
0.085 Issue Price |
0.1275 50% increase in Issue Price |
|
| 28,540,811 (Current Variable A) |

2,854,081 | 2,854,081 | 2,854,081 |
| Funds raised | $121,298 | $242,597 | $363,895 | |
| 42,811,217 (50% increase in Variable A) |
Shares issued – 10% voting dilution |
4,281,121 | 4,281,121 | 4,281,121 |

| Funds raised | $242,597 | $485,194 | $727,791 |
- *The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata
17
Antilles Oil and Gas NL ABN 62 111 823 762
rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are currently 28,540,811Shares on issue;
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 8 April 2015.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility , based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Facility
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the following purposes:
-
(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets (funds would then be used for project, feasibility studies and ongoing project administration), general working capital; or
-
(ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments including previously announced acquisitions, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
18
Antilles Oil and Gas NL ABN 62 111 823 762
(e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Facility
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed placement(s).
The recipients of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of existing Shareholders or new investors (or both) none of whom are related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of issue under the 10% Placement Facility, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods of raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company; and
-
(v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments.
(f)
Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 30 May 2014 ( Previous Approval ).
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.
During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 May 2014, the Company otherwise issued a total of 28,260,811 Shares on a post-consolidated basis which represents approximately 98.74% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 30 May 2014, which was 279,652 on a post consolidated basis.
Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule A.
(g)
Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A
When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility, it will give to ASX:
19
Antilles Oil and Gas NL ABN 62 111 823 762
(i) a list of the allottees of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities allotted to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
(ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.
9.4 Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 9.
10. ENQUIRIES
Shareholders may contact the Company Secretary on (+ 61 8) 9226 4500 if they have any queries in respect of the matters set out in these documents.

SCHEDULE C – TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PARTLY PAID SHARES
Set out below is a summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to Partly Paid Shares:

-
(b) The holder shall have the right to pay calls in advance on the Partly Paid Shares issued. Any notice of payment of calls in advance by the holder ( Payment Notice ) shall be in writing and delivered to the registered office of the Company. The Payment Notice shall specify the number of Partly Paid Shares in respect of which such payment is being made, the amount per share which is being paid up, and shall be accompanied by the appropriate payment for the number of partly paid shares specified in the Payment Notice. The Directors of the Company must, within 3 days after receipt of the Payment Notice, accept payment, credit the amount paid up and issue the appropriate holding statement for fully paid shares in respect of any shares which have been fully paid up.
-
(c) Subject to the Corporations Act and the Company’s Constitution, the Company shall only be entitled to make a call on the Partly Paid Shares on that date which is one (1) day before five (5) years from the date of issue of the Partly Paid Shares. If a call is not paid when made, the Partly Paid Shares shall be subject to forfeiture in accordance with the procedure set out in section 254Q of the Corporations Act.
-
(d) A statement of holding will be issued for the Partly Paid Shares and will be forwarded to the holder together with the terms and conditions of the Partly Paid Shares.

-
(h) The Company will ensure that, at least 4 business days before the record date to determine entitlement to any such new entitlements issue, the Company will announce to ASX details of the proposed new entitlements issue.

SCHEDULE D – VALUATION OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS
The Performance Rights to be issued to Dr Jack Hamilton pursuant to Resolution 7 have been valued by internal management .
Using the principles of option valuation models and based on the assumptions set out below, the Performance Rights were ascribed the following value:
| the Performance Rights were ascribed the following value: | |
|---|---|
| Assumptions: | Performance Rights (Class B) |
| Valuation date | 8 April 2015 |
| Market price of Shares (per share) | 8.50 cents |
| Exercise price (per share) | Nil |
| Expiry date (length of time from issue) | 3 years |
| Risk free interest rate | 1.83% |
| Volatility | 91.80 |
| Indicative value per Related Party Performance Right | 8.50 cents |
| Total Value of Related Party Performance Rights | $85,000 |
| Jack Hamilton | $85,000 |
The valuation above took into account the following matters:
-
Given that the Performance Rights are to be issued for no consideration, the value of the Performance Rights is reflected in the underlying Share price at the valuation date. Variable inputs used in traditional option valuation models such as implied share price volatility, the risk free interest rate and life of the right have no impact on the value of the Performance Rights so long as the underlying asset does not pay a dividend.
-
The market price of a share is as per closing price on 8 April 2015.
-
Performance Rights with vesting conditions can only be exercised following the satisfaction of these exercise conditions.
-
The valuation of Performance Rights assumes that the exercise of a right does not affect the value of the underlying asset.
-
The vesting conditions in this instance, being primarily non-market based, determine the number of Performance Rights to be issued; they do not have an affect on the value of each Performance Right. The Class B Performance Rights do have a market based condition as well as a non-market based condition. An assessment purely based on the market based condition will discount the ultimate rights value and given the probability of achieving this condition is not able to be assessed at this point in time the Board has primarily used the non-market based condition for valuation purposes.
-
The exercise price is the price at which the underlying ordinary Shares will be issued. No consideration is to be paid upon exercising the Performance Rights.
-
The Board is currently not in a position to estimate the probability of achieving the milestones as set out for each performance right class and as a result has not discounted the above valuation accordingly. The above valuations have been provided on the basis of all performance milestones being met and on an undiscounted basis.

SCHEDULE E – VALUATION OF OPTIONS
The Options to be issued to Mr Gary Grubitz to Resolutions 8 have been valued by internal management .
Using the Black & Scholes option model and based on the assumptions set out below, the Related Party Options were ascribed the following value:
| Using the Black & Scholes option model and based on the Related Party Options were ascribed the following value: |
assumptions set out b |
|---|---|

| Exercise price | 0.20 cents |
| Expiry date (length of time from issue) | 5 years |
| Risk free interest rate | 1.98% |
| Volatility (discount) | 91.80 |
| Indicative value per Related Party Option | 0.0486 |
| Total Value of Related Party Options | $145,800 |
| Gary Grubitz | $145,800 |
Note: The valuation noted above is not necessarily the market price that the Related Party Options could be traded at and is not automatically the market price for taxation purposes.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form
1.
( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
- ( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
3.
( Signing instructions ):
-
( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign.

Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.
