REGARDING MEETING ATTENDANCE AND VOTING

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING MEETING ATTENDANCE AND VOTING

For personal use only

The Company will hold the Meeting both as a virtual meeting via a web-based meeting portal as well an in- person meeting at Suite 9, 110 Hay Street, Subiaco WA 6008.

The Company considers that the health, safety and welfare of the Company's staff, its Shareholders and other stakeholders is of paramount importance given the dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, current restrictions on travel and gatherings, and the ability of both the Federal and State Governments to impose further restrictions.

All resolutions at the Meeting will be voted on by poll and Shareholders who are entitled to vote may vote either at the Meeting by poll during the Meeting electronically or prior to the Meeting by appointing a proxy. Further details of the voting methods open to Shareholders are set out in detail below.

Shareholders are strongly encouraged to either vote prior to the Meeting or to appoint the

Chair as their proxy.

The Board will continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation closely and details of any alternative arrangements for the Meeting will be issued to Shareholders electronically by no later than 10 days prior to the date of the Meeting or at shorter notice, depending on the circumstances.

The Company is aware that, at present, there are significant delays in the Australian postal system due to COVID-19, which may adversely affect both the receipt and return of voting forms by Shareholders. In accordance with recent amendments to the Corporations Act pursuant to the Treasury Laws Amendment (2021 Measures No. 1) Act 2021, the Company will not be dispatching physical copies of the Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement to all Shareholders. Instead, these documents will be emailed to all Shareholders who have provided an email address to the Company's share registrar and are otherwise available on the ASX company announcements platform at www.asx.com.au under the ASX code of "PDI". Only Shareholders who have made an election to receive physical copies of meeting materials in accordance with section 253RB of the Corporations Act will be provided with a physical copy.

Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting virtually must first register their attendance with the Company by no later than 4pm (WST) on 8 March 2022, the day prior to the day of the Meeting, by email to the Company Secretary at ian.hobson@predictivediscovery.com, including the Shareholder's name, address and HIN or SRN. The Company will then email the Shareholder the details to participate in the virtual Meeting via zoom (a web-based meeting portal).

Voting by poll

All votes taken at the Meeting will be conducted by way of a poll, taken both physically at the Meeting and electronically.

Shareholders will be able to submit their email poll votes immediately after the Chair calls for a vote on each Resolution and up to a period of one hour after the Meeting ends. This means that the outcome of each Resolution will not be able to be determined until after the conclusion of the Meeting to allow the company secretary sufficient time to count such poll votes submitted by email.

Voting by proxy

Shareholders should note 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.

The enclosed proxy form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging proxy forms. To be valid, the proxy form (and any power of attorney under which it is signed) must be completed and returned by the time and in accordance with the instructions set out in the proxy form. Any proxy form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled Meeting.

Subject to any voting restrictions set out in a voting exclusion statement in respect of the Resolutions, the Chair will vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of, each Resolution.

Corporate representatives

A body corporate may appoint an individual as its representative to exercise any of the powers the body may exercise at meetings of a company's members. The appointment may be a standing one. Unless the appointment states otherwise, the representative may exercise all of the powers that the appointing body could exercise at a meeting or in voting on a resolution.

The representative must, prior to the Meeting, provide evidence of his or her appointment, to the Company Secretary by email at ian.hobson@predictivediscovery.com by no later than 4pm (WST) on 8 March 2022, the day prior to the Meeting, noting whether the representative intends to attend the Meeting physically or virtually including any authority under which the appointment is signed, unless it has previously been given to the Company. Representatives who wish to vote by poll during the virtual Meeting must first notify the company secretary in accordance with the instructions set out above under 'voting by poll'.

  2. a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

However, the above prohibition does not apply if the vote is cast by a person as proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on the Resolution and it is not cast on behalf of a Resolution 2 Excluded Party.

Please note: If the Chair is a person referred to in the section 224 Corporations Act voting prohibition statement above, the Chair will only be able to cast a vote as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote if the Chair is appointed as proxy in writing and the Proxy Form specifies how the proxy is to vote on Resolution 2.

If you purport to cast a vote other than as permitted above, that vote will be disregarded by the Company (as indicated above) and you may be liable for breaching the voting restrictions that apply to you under the Corporations Act.
