VOTING EXCLUSION STATEMENTS

Item 2: Resolution 1

In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by or on behalf of a member of the key management personnel, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report (“ KMP ”) or their closely related parties.

However, a vote may be cast on Resolution 1 by such a person as proxy for a person entitled to vote on Resolution 1 and:

• the proxy appointment is in writing and specifies how the proxy is to vote on Resolution 1 ; or

• the proxy is the Chairman of the meeting ; and

• the appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on Resolution 1 ; and

• ▪ the appointment expressly authorises the Chairman of the meeting to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the KMP.

If you appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy on Resolution 1 or the Chairman is appointed your proxy by default, and you do not direct your proxy on how to vote on that resolution, you will be expressly authorising the Chairman of the meeting to exercise your proxy even if that resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of resolution 1.

INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS ATTENDING AND VOTING AT THE AGM

Pursuant to Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Directors have determined that a Shareholder is eligible to vote at the Meeting if they are registered as a holder of Shares in TOP as it appears in the Company’s share register at 7.00 pm AEDT on Wednesday 22 November 2017.

proxies, please contact the Share Registry on 1300 737 760 (within Australia) or + 612 9290 9600 (outside Australia) to request a second proxy form.

Voting by proxies

Under the Corporations Act, if the proxy form directs the proxy how to vote on a particular resolution:

• the proxy does not need to vote on a show of hands but if the proxy does vote on a show of hands, the proxy must vote as directed (subject to any voting exclusions);

• if the proxy has two or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands;

• a poll has been called on a resolution; and

• a Shareholder has appointed a proxy other than the Chairman of the meeting and the appointment of the proxy directs the proxy how to vote on the resolution; and

• the Shareholder’s proxy either:

• does not attend the Meeting; or

• attends the Meeting but does not vote on the resolution,

then the Chairman of the meeting will, before voting on the resolution closes, be taken to have been appointed as the proxy for that Shareholder for the purposes of voting on that resolution.

In these circumstances, the Chairman of the meeting must vote in accordance with the written direction of that Shareholder.
