    PROXIES

    A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote has a right to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of the Shareholder. A proxy need not be a Shareholder and can be either an individual or a body corporate. If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as a proxy, that body corporate will need to ensure that it:

  • appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at the Meeting, in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act; and

  • provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to commencement of the Meeting.

If such evidence is not received before the Meeting, then the body corporate (through its representative) will not be permitted to act as a proxy.

A Shareholder that is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two or more proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If no proportion or number is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder's votes.

Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting by a Shareholder's appointed proxy will automatically default to the Chairman of the Meeting, who is required to vote proxies as directed on a poll.

Members of the Key Management Personnel and Closely Related Parties of a member of the Key Management Personnel will not be able to vote as proxy on Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 unless the Shareholder tells them how to vote, or in the case of the Chairman of the Meeting, unless the Shareholder expressly authorises him to do so. If a Shareholder intends to appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chairman) or a Closely Related Party of a member of the Key Management Personnel as their proxy, the Shareholder should ensure that they direct the member of the Key Management Personnel or a Closely Related Party of a member of the Key Management Personnel how to vote on Resolutions 3, 4 and 5.

If a Shareholder intends to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy for Resolutions 3, 4 and 5, Shareholders can direct the Chairman how to vote by marking one of the boxes (to vote 'for', 'against' or to 'abstain' from voting) for each of Resolutions 3, 4 and 5.

If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman as their proxy and the Shareholder does not direct the Chairman how to vote on Resolutions 3, 4 and 5, please note that by completing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder will be expressly authorising the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise its undirected proxy on Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 even though they are connected with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.
