Voting Restrictions and Exclusions

Resolution 1

In accordance with the Corporations Act, a vote must not be cast (in any capacity), and the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by or on behalf of any Key Management Personnel, the details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report, and any Closely Related Party of such Key Management Personnel.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:

  1. it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with directions on the proxy form; or
  2. it is cast by the Chair as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, and the appointment does not specify the way in which the Chair is to vote but the appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of Key Management Personnel (this authorisation is included in the proxy form enclosed).

Alternatively, if you appoint the Chair as your proxy, you can direct the Chair to vote for or against or abstain from voting on Resolution 1 by marking the appropriate box on the proxy form.

Alternatively, Shareholders can nominate as their proxy for the purpose of Resolution 1, a person who is not a member of the Company's Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties. That person would be permitted to vote undirected proxies.

Resolution 2

There are no voting exclusions in relation to Resolution 2.

Resolution 3

There are no voting exclusions in relation to Resolution 3.

Resolution 4

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 4 by any current employees, executive directors, or contractors of the Company, and associates of any of those parties, as they are eligible to participate in the Employee Performance Rights Plan. However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

  1. it is cast by the person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with directions on the proxy form; or
  2. it is cast by the Chair as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

Further, a vote on Resolution 4 must not be cast as a proxy by or on behalf of any of the following persons:

  1. a member of the Key Management Personnel details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report; or
  2. a Closely Related Party of such a member.

However, a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution 4 as a proxy if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described above and either:

  1. the person is appointed as a proxy by writing that specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; or
  2. the person is the chair of the meeting and the appointment of the chair as proxy:
    • does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and
    • expressly authorises the chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel for the Company.

Resolution 5

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 5 by a person who may participate in the 10% Placement Facility and a person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of ordinary securities, if Resolution 5 is passed, and any associates of those persons. As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has no specific intention to issue Equity Securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and therefore it is not known who (if any) may participate in a potential (if any) issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:

  1. it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with directions on the proxy form; or
  2. it is cast by the Chair as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

Proxies

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act and clause 16.2(3)(d) of the Company's constitution, members are advised that:

  1. a member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, is entitled to appoint a proxy;
  2. a proxy need not be a member of the Company; and
  3. a member of the Company entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.
