  • the proxy need not be a member of the Company; and
  • a member who is 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.

If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as a proxy, but the appointment does not specify the way to vote on a Resolution, then the Chairman intends to exercise all available votes in favour of the relevant Resolution, including Resolutions 1 and 5, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act. In exceptional circumstances, the Chairman of the Meeting may change his/her voting intention on any Resolution, in which case an ASX announcement will be made.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting will automatically default to the Chairman of the Meeting, who is required to vote proxies as directed.

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.

PROXY VOTING ON RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 5 (REMUNERATION OF KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL)

The Key Management Personnel of the Company (which includes each of the Directors and executives named in the Company's Remuneration Report) and their Closely Related Parties will not be able to vote as your proxy unless you direct them how to vote, or the Chairman of the Meeting is your proxy. If you intend to appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel or one of their Closely Related Parties as your proxy, please ensure that you direct them how to vote on Resolutions 1 and 5 otherwise they will not be able to cast a vote as your proxy on that Resolution.

If you appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, you can direct him how to vote by marking one of the boxes for Resolution 1 and 5 (i.e.: to vote "for", "against" or "abstain").

If you appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy or the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy by default, but you do not mark a voting box for Resolution 1 or 5, you will be taken to have expressly authorised the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise the proxy in respect of that Resolution even though the Resolution is connected with the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel.

Shareholders should be aware that any undirected proxies given to the Chairman of the Meeting will be cast by the Chairman of the Meeting in favour of the Resolutions the subject of this Meeting, including Resolutions 1 and 5, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act. In exceptional circumstances, the Chairman of the Meeting may change his/her voting intention on any Resolution, in which case an ASX announcement will be made.

Accordingly, share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.

CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE

A body corporate may appoint an individual as its representative to attend and vote at the Meeting and exercise any other powers the body corporate can exercise at the Meeting. The appointment may be a standing one.
