ENTITLEMENT TO VOTE

1. Snapshot date

In accordance with regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), for the purposes of determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting, Shares will be taken to be held by the persons who are the registered holders at 10am (WST) on Saturday 23 November 2019. Accordingly, transactions registered after this time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.

2. Proxies

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote has a right to appoint a proxy to attend and vote at the Meeting instead of the Shareholder. A proxy need not be a Shareholder and can either be 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 in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act; and
  • provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative.

To be valid, your Proxy Form (and any power of attorney under which it is signed) must be received at an address given below by 10am (WST) on Saturday 23 November 2019. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled Meeting.

A Shareholder that is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint up to 2 proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on its behalf and may specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy is entitled to exercise. If you do not specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy is entitled to exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional proxy form may be obtained by telephoning the Company's share registry or you may copy the enclosed Proxy Form. To appoint a second proxy, you must follow the instructions on the Proxy Form.

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

A Proxy Form is enclosed with this Notice. An additional form will be supplied by the Company on request.

If a Shareholder intends to appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chairperson) 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 Resolution 2.

If the Chairperson is your proxy or is appointed as your proxy by default, you may direct the Chairperson how to vote by ticking the relevant boxes in Step 2 of the Proxy Form. If you do direct the Chairperson how to vote in Step 2 of the Proxy Form, the Chairperson will vote on the relevant Resolution in accordance with those directions. If you do not direct the Chairperson how to vote, you will be directing the Chairperson to vote in accordance with the Chairperson's voting intentions in respect of the relevant Resolutions and you will also be expressly authorising the Chairperson to exercise your proxy in respect of the relevant Resolutions, even where the relevant Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of Key Management Personnel.

Please note: The Chairperson of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
