IMPORTANT NOTICES

1. Voting and proxy instructions

  • 1.1 Quorum

The Constitution provides that a quorum for the Meeting is three Shareholders.

1.2 Voting entitlement

For the purposes of the Meeting and in accordance with section 1074E(2)(g)(i) of the Corporations Act and regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Directors have determined that the Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting will be those persons who are recorded on the Company’s register of Shareholders at 10:00 am on Sunday, 24 June 2018. Share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining the Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting.

On a poll, Shareholders will have one vote for every Share held. Holders of options, if any, are not entitled to vote in respect of those options. In the case of joint holders of Shares, if more than one holder votes at the Meeting, only the vote of the first named of the joint holders in the Company’s register of Shareholders will be counted.

1.3 Majority required for Resolution 1

Resolution 1 will be passed as a special resolution if more than 75% of the votes validly cast on that resolution (either in person or by proxy, attorney or corporate representative) are in favour of that resolution.

1.4 Proxies

  • (a) Any Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint:

  • (1) one proxy (if the Shareholder is entitled to one vote); or

  • (2) one or two proxies (if the Shareholder is entitled to more than one vote).

  • (b) The person or persons appointed may, but need not necessarily be, a Shareholder.

  • (c) Where two proxies are appointed, each proxy should be appointed to represent a specified portion or number of the Shareholder’s voting rights (failing which each appointee will be entitled to cast half the Shareholder’s votes, in which case any fraction of votes will be disregarded).

  • (d) Where a Shareholder appoints two proxies, on a show of hands, neither proxy may vote if more than one proxy attends and, on a poll, each proxy may only exercise votes in respect of those Shares or voting rights the proxy represents.

  • (e) The Proxy Form must be signed by the Shareholder (or, in the case of a joint holding, by each joint holder) or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the member is a corporation, in a manner permitted by the Corporations Act. A proxy given by a foreign corporation must be executed in accordance with the laws of that corporation’s place of incorporation.

  • (f) If a Proxy Form is signed under a power of attorney on behalf of a Shareholder, then either the original power of attorney, or a certified copy of it, must be lodged with the Proxy Form (before the deadline for appointment of proxies), unless the power of attorney has already been sighted by the Company or its share registrar.

  • (g) A proxy may decide whether or not to vote on any item of business or other motion at the Meeting, except where the proxy is required by law or the Constitution to vote or abstain from voting in their capacity as proxy. If the proxy’s appointment directs the proxy how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote on that item only in accordance with the direction. If the proxy’s appointment does not direct the proxy how to vote on an item of business or any other motion at the Meeting, the proxy may vote as he or she thinks fit on that item or motion.

  • (h) If the same person (such as the Chairman) is appointed as proxy for two or more Shareholders and those Shareholders have specified different ways for the proxy to vote on an item of business, then the proxy is not entitled to vote (as proxy) on a show of hands on that item.

  • (i) The appointment of one or more proxies will not preclude a Shareholder from attending the Meeting and voting personally. If the Shareholder votes on Resolution 1, the proxy or proxies must not vote as the Shareholder’s proxy on that resolution.

  • (j) Proxies may be appointed using the enclosed Proxy Form. Detailed instructions for appointing a proxy are provided on the back of the Proxy Form.

  • (k) Proxy appointments (and any necessary supporting document) must be received by the Company no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting (i.e. by 10:00 am on Sunday, 24 June 2018) . Proxies received after this deadline will not be effective for the Meeting.

1.5 Appointment of corporate representatives

A body corporate that is a Shareholder and is entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, or that has been appointed as proxy of a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, may appoint an individual to act as its representative at the Meeting. The appointment must comply with section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative must bring to the Meeting adequate evidence of his/ her appointment, including any authority under which the appointment is signed, unless that evidence has previously been provided to the Company’s share registrar.

1.6 Appointing the Chairman as your proxy

The Proxy Form accompanying this Notice of Meeting contains detailed instructions regarding how to complete the Proxy Form if a Shareholder wishes to appoint the Chairman as the Shareholder’s proxy. You should read those instructions carefully.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies by voting in favour of Resolution 1 on the Notice of Meeting.

If you do not wish to give the Chairman such a directed proxy, you should ensure that a box other than the ‘For’ box is clearly marked in relation to Resolution 1 on the Proxy Form.

1.7 Undirected proxies

If you return your Proxy Form but do not nominate a proxy, the Chairman will be your proxy and will vote on your behalf as you direct on the Proxy Form. If your nominated representative does not attend the Meeting then your proxy will revert to the Chairman and the Chairman will vote on your behalf as you direct on the Proxy Form.

If a proxy is not directed how to vote on Resolution 1, the proxy (including, if applicable, the Chairman) may vote, or abstain from voting, as he/she thinks fit.

If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy (including appointment by default) and do not direct the Chairman how to vote on Resolution 1, the Chairman will vote your proxy in favour of that resolution even if the Chairman has an interest in the outcome of that resolution and votes cast by the Chairman, other than as proxy holder, would be disregarded because of that interest.
