ASX RELEASE 01 November 2012 Notices of Nomination of Candidature as a Director


The Company refers to its Quarterly Report for the period ending 30 September, 2012 which gave notice that in the event that it is necessary for the Company to hold a spill meeting as a consequence of the Annual General Meeting (which will be held on 28 November 2012) the spill meeting will be held on 12 December 2012.

At the Annual General Meeting if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution to adopt the remuneration report are against the adoption of the report the Company will be obliged pursuant to section 250B of the Corporations Act to put to the vote a resolution that another meeting of the Company (the spill meeting) will be held within 90 days. The Company has given notice that in the event that the spill resolution is passed such meeting will be held on 12 December 2012.
At such meeting, if the Company is obliged to hold the same, Mr Marshall as Managing Director is not obliged to stand for Office but each of Messrs Joyce, Warris and MacDonald are obliged to stand for Office.

The persons taken to have been appointed in addition to Mr Marshall (which will be two persons) are those with the highest percentage of votes favouring their appointment cast at the spill meeting on the resolution for their appointment even if less than half the votes cast on the resolution were in favour of their appointment (Section 250X(3)).
The Company announces that in the event that it is obliged to hold the spill meeting on 12 December 2012 the following persons have nominated for the position of director of the Company:
