PROXIES AND VOTING

Persons entitled to vote

Under regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Board has determined that the shareholding of each member for the purposes of ascertaining their voting entitlements at the AGM will be as it appears in the share register at 7:00pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, 20th November 2019. Accordingly, share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the AGM.

Appointment of proxy

If you are unable to attend the Meeting, you are encouraged to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on your behalf.

Please note the following in relation to the appointment of a proxy:

  • A member who is entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting may appoint any person as his or her proxy to attend and vote for the member at the Meeting.
  • A member may specify the way in which the proxy is to vote by marking the appropriate box in the proxy form. If no voting instructions are provided, the proxy may vote at his or her discretion, subject to any voting restrictions that apply to the proxy.
  • If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as a member's proxy (or becomes their proxy by default) and the member does not provide voting instructions, then by completing and submitting the proxy form, the member will be giving the Chairman the member's express authority to vote as the Chairman sees fit.
  • The Chairman currently intends to vote in favour of all items of business. If there is a change to how the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies, the Company will make an announcement to the market.
  • If a member is entitled to cast two or more votes at the Meeting, the member may appoint two proxies. If two proxies are appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member's votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the member's votes. On a show of hands, a proxy holder may not vote if more than one proxy holder attends the Meeting and on a poll, each proxy may only exercise votes in respect of those shares or voting rights the proxy represents.
  • A proxy need not be a member of the Company and can be either an individual or a body corporate. If a member 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 the commencement of the Meeting.

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

  • A proxy form is enclosed. To be effective, the proxy form (and if the proxy form is signed or executed by the appointer's attorney, the authority under which the appointment was signed or a certified copy of the authority), must be received by the Company at least 48 hours before the scheduled time for the Meeting, that is by 11:00am (AEDT) on Wednesday, 20th November 2019.
  • The documents will be received by the Company when they are received at the Share Registry at Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited, 452 Johnston Street, Abbotsford, Victoria 3067 or fax number 1800 783 447 (within Australia) or +61 3 9473 2555 (outside Australia) or on-line at www.investorvote.com.au using your Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) or Holder Identification Number (HIN) and your allocated Control Number as shown on your proxy form.
  • Custodian voting - For Intermediary Online subscribers only (custodians) please visit www.intermediaryonline.com to submit your voting intentions.

A body corporate, which is a member, may appoint an individual (by certificate executed in accordance with section 127 of the Corporations Act or in another manner satisfactory to the Chairman of the Meeting) as a representative to exercise all or any of the powers the body corporate may exercise at the Meeting. The appointment may be a standing one. The representative must bring a formal notice of appointment with him or her to the Meeting.
