Clause 11.4 of the Company’s Constitution requires that at every Annual General Meeting of the Company one-third of the Directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) shall retire from office. The Directors to retire are those who have been longest in office since their last election. A retiring Director is eligible for reelection.

Information about Sir Tim is set out in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report.
Recommendation
The directors (other than Sir Tim because of his interest in this Resolution) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
ORDINARY RESOLUTION 3: Election of Director- Mr Jorge Nigaglioni
Clause 11.2 of the Company’s Constitution permits the Directors to appoint additional directors. However, any director so appointed holds office until the next Annual General Meeting and is then required to seek Shareholder approval to continue as a director.

Details of Mr Nigaglioni’s qualifications and experience are included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report.
Recommendation
The directors (other than Mr Nigaglioni because of his interest in this Resolution) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
ORDINARY RESOLUTION 4: Ratification of Previous Issue of Shares
Background

-
One fully paid share for each right that vests
-
The rights are non transferable
-
The rights vest should the share price equalling or exceeding 10 cents on a 5 day VWAP basis and the recipient remaining an employee for a period of 12 months after the VWAP trigger is satisfied.

ASX Listing Rule requirements
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 purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying this issue of Shares, 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.

-
(e) No funds were raised from the issue
-
(f) a voting exclusion statement is provided in Resolution 4 of the Notice.
