Voting Consequences

Under the Corporations Act, companies are required to put to 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 the Remuneration Report are voted against the 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.

If more than 50% of votes are cast in favour of a Spill Resolution, the Company must convene a shareholder meeting (“Spill Meeting”) within 90 days of the second Annual General Meeting. At that meeting, all directors who were in office at the time of the Directors’ Report, other than the managing director, will cease to hold office immediately before the Spill Meeting. Those persons who are elected or re-elected at the Spill Meeting will be the directors of the company. Note those directors who ceased to hold office immediately prior to the Spill Meeting may stand for re-election.

Adoption of the 2015 Remuneration Report was passed unanimously on a show of hands at the last Annual General Meeting. Accordingly, a Spill Resolution is not relevant to this Annual General Meeting.

Shareholders of the Company will be provided with the opportunity to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

3. RESOLUTION 2 - ELECTION OF ELISSA HANSEN

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.5, a public listed company must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

Clause 61.1 of the Company’s Constitution states that no Director, other than the Managing Director, may hold office for a continuous period beyond the later to occur of the following:

  • (a) the third anniversary of the date of the Director's appointment; or

  • (b) the date of the third annual general meeting following the Director's appointment or election,

without submitting for re-election.

If no Director is required to submit for re-election but the ASX Listing Rules require an election of Directors to be held, the Director to retire will be the Director who has been longest in office since their last election and, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, the one to retire will (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot. A retiring Director remains in office until the end of the meeting at which the Director retires or vacates office, and will be eligible for re-election at the meeting.

Ms. Elissa Hansen was last re-elected as a director at the 2016 AGM together with all of the current directors. Ms. Hansen will retire at the conclusion of this meeting and, being eligible, offers herself for reelection.

Elissa was appointed as a director of the Company on 9 October 2015. She is also the Company Secretary. Elissa has over 15 years experience in advising management and boards on governance, investor relations, compliance and other corporate issues.

Elissa holds a Bachelor of Commerce and a Graduate Diploma in Applied Corporate Governance. She is also an associate member of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries Australia and a Graduate Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. Elissa acts as Company Secretary to a number of listed and unlisted companies and is a director of ASX listed Torian Resources Limited.
