Shareholders are eligible to participate and vote at the AGM if they are registered holders of the Company's Shares at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Tuesday, 3 May 2022, subject to the voting restrictions described in this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement.

Direct voting - prior to the AGM

Shareholders are entitled to vote directly by marking Section A "Vote Directly" on the Voting Form that accompanies this Notice of Meeting. Shareholders will then not need to appoint a proxy to act on its behalf.

A direct vote will take priority over the appointment of a proxy. For a valid direct vote to be recorded Shareholders must mark 'For', 'Against', or 'Abstain' on each Resolution. Where a direct vote has been validly submitted in advance of the AGM, the Shareholder's attendance or participation in the AGM cancels the direct vote, unless the Shareholder instructs the Company or, at its instruction, the Share Registry otherwise.

Voting by Proxy

A Shareholder is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on its behalf. To do so, Shareholders should mark Section B "Appoint a Proxy" on the Voting Form to appoint the Chairman of the AGM as its proxy or insert the name of its alternative proxy in the space provided.

The following applies in terms of proxy appointments:

  • a proxy need not be a Shareholder, and may be an individual or a body corporate;

  • a Shareholder entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies; and

  • where two proxies are appointed, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the Shareholder's voting rights. If a Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of that Shareholder's votes.
