NOTES
DETERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP AND VOTING ENTITLEMENT
Everyone who is registered as a Shareholder at 9.30 am (Sydney time) on 2 July 2022 can vote at the General Meeting.
You may vote by:
(a) attending the General Meeting in person (yourself or by sending an attorney, or, if you hold Shares through a company, by sending a corporate representative on your behalf); or
(b) completing and returning a proxy form.
A proxy form accompanies this Notice of General Meeting. The proxy form contains instructions on how to complete the form, the rules applicable to proxies, where to send the form and information regarding corporate representatives.
VOTING BY PROXY
To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by the time and in accordance with the instructions set out on the Proxy Form.
New sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this General Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:
-
if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and
-
any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.
Further details on these changes are set out below.
Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote
Section 250BB (1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :
-
the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and
-
if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).
Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances
Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:
-
an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and
-
the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and
-
at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and
-
either of the following applies:
o the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;
- the proxy does not vote on the resolution,
the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.
Corporate Representative
Any corporate shareholder who has appointed a person to act as its corporate representative at the Meeting should provide that person with a certificate or letter executed in accordance with the Corporations Act authorising him or her to act as that company’s representative. The authority may be sent to the Company and/or registry in advance of the Meeting or handed in at the Meeting when registering as a corporate representative.
