Voting exclusions for Item 2

For all resolutions that are directly or indirectly related to the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Company (being the resolution in respect of Item 2), the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) restricts

KMP and their closely related parties from voting in certain circumstances.

Closely related party is defined in the Corporations Act and includes a spouse, dependant and certain other close family members, as well as any companies controlled by the KMP.

Item 2 - Remuneration Report

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Item 2:

> by, or on behalf of, a member of the KMP (including the Directors) named in the Remuneration Report and their closely related parties, regardless of the capacity in which the vote is cast; or

> as a proxy by a person who is a member of the KMP at the date of the Meeting and their closely related parties, unless the vote is cast as proxy for a person entitled to vote on Item 2:

  • in accordance with a direction on the proxy form; or

  • by the Chairman of the Meeting pursuant to an express authorisation to exercise the proxy as the Chairman sees fit even though the item is connected with the remuneration

If you intend to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy (or the Chairman becomes your proxy by default), you can direct him how to vote by marking the appropriate boxes on the proxy form (ie. 'for', 'against' or 'abstain'). If you do not mark any of the boxes in Step 2, by signing and returning the proxy form and by

marking the Chairman's box in Step 1, you are expressly authorising the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise your proxy on Item 2 as the Chairman sees fit, notwithstanding that the Item is connected with the remuneration of the Company's KMP.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to cast all available proxies in favour of each item of business.

The Company encourages all shareholders who submit proxies to direct their proxy how to vote on each item of business.

If you appoint a proxy and direct them how to vote, and your proxy does not attend the Meeting or does not vote if a poll is called on an item of business, your directed proxies will automatically default to the Chairman of the Meeting, who is required to vote proxies as directed on a poll.

However, the Company's KMP (which includes each of the Directors) and their closely related parties will not be able to vote your proxy on Item 2 unless you direct them how to vote. If you intend to appoint a member of the KMP, other than the Chairman of the Meeting, as proxy, you must ensure the proxy is directed how to vote on Item 2.
