VOTING BY PROXY

2!

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed/attached Proxy Form and return by the time, and in accordance with the instructions, set out on the Proxy Form.

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised that:

  • each Shareholder has a right to appoint a proxy;
  • the proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company; and
  • a Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.

A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate. If a body corporate is appointed, the Proxy Form must indicate the full name of the body corporate and the full name and title of the individual representative of the body corporate for the Meeting.

A Proxy Form accompanies this notice. If a Shareholder wishes to appoint more than 1 proxy, they may make a copy of the Proxy Form attached to this notice. For the Proxy Form to be valid it must be received together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which the form is signed, or a (notarially) certified copy of that power or authority.

Sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act apply to voting by proxy. Broadly, these provisions provide that:

  • if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and
  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details are set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and
  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
  • if the proxy is not the chair - the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's Shareholders; and
  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and
  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

3!

  • either of the following applies:
    o the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;
  1. the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the Meeting.

Proxy Voting by the Chair

The Corporations Act imposes prohibitions on Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties from voting their shares (and/or voting undirected proxies) on, amongst other things, remuneration matters.

However, the Chair of a meeting may vote an undirected proxy (i.e. a proxy that does not specify how it is to be voted), provided the Shareholder who has lodged the proxy has given an express voting direction to the Chair to exercise the undirected proxy, even if the resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of Key Management Personnel.

If you complete a Proxy Form that authorises the Chair of the Meeting to vote on your behalf as proxy, and you do not mark any of the boxes so as to give him directions about how your vote should be cast, then you will be taken to have expressly authorised the Chair to exercise your proxy on the Resolution. In accordance with this express authority provided by you, the Chair will vote in favour of the Resolution. If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, and you wish to direct him how to vote, please tick the appropriate boxes on the Proxy Form.

CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES

Any corporation which is a Shareholder of the Company may appoint a proxy, as set out above, or authorise (by certificate under common seal or other form of execution authorised by the laws of that corporation's place of incorporation, or in any other manner satisfactory to the Chair) a natural person to act as its representative at any general meeting.

Corporate representatives are requested to bring appropriate evidence of appointment as a representative in accordance with the Constitution. Attorneys are requested to bring an original or certified copy of the power of attorney pursuant to which they were appointed. Proof of identity is also required for corporate representatives and attorneys.

QUESTIONS FROM SHAREHOLDERS

The Chair of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions or make comments on the management of the Company at the Meeting.

Shareholders with specific queries concerning any aspect of the annual financial report for the year ended 31 March 2021 are requested to submit those queries in writing by no later than 19th August 2021 to enable the Board time to consider the queries and where appropriate to make enquires of the Company's auditor.
