NOTES RELATING TO VOTING AND PROXIES Entitlement to attend and vote at the Meeting

Only registered holders of stapled securities as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 7 November 2016 will be eligible to attend and vote at the Meeting. Accordingly, transfers of stapled securities registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlement to attend and vote at the Meeting.

Voting Exclusions

- Resolution 1

The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) restricts members of the key management personnel of the Astro Group (which includes each of the directors) (KMP) and their closely related parties from voting in some circumstances.

'Closely related party' is defined in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and includes a spouse, dependent and certain other close family members, as well as any companies controlled by the KMP.

As Resolution 1 is directly or indirectly related to the remuneration of a member of the KMP, the Company will disregard any votes cast (in any capacity) on Resolution 1 by or on behalf of:

  • members of the KMP (being the directors and other KMP as disclosed in the Company's Remuneration Report); and

  • closely related parties of those persons,

    as well as any votes cast as a proxy on this Resolution by a member of the KMP at the date of the Meeting and their closely related parties, unless the vote is cast:

  • as proxy for a securityholder entitled to vote on Resolution 1, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form; or

  • by the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy for a person entitled to vote on Resolution 1 pursuant to an express authorisation to exercise the proxy as the Chairman of the Meeting sees fit (even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP).

    Voting Rights

    On a show of hands, every person present and entitled to vote has one vote and if one proxy has been appointed, that proxy will have one vote on a show of hands. Under the Company's Constitution, if a securityholder appoints two proxies or attorneys to vote at the same general meeting, neither proxy nor attorney may vote on a show of hands if more than one proxy or attorney attends.

    On a poll:

  • in the case of a resolution of the Company, each securityholder present in person or by proxy, attorney or duly appointed corporate representative and entitled to vote, has one vote for each fully-paid security they hold; and

  • in the case of a resolution of the Trust, each securityholder present in person or by proxy, attorney or duly appointed corporate representative and entitled to vote, has one vote for each dollar of the value of the securities in the Trust they hold.

If stapled securities are jointly held, only one of the joint holders is entitled to vote. If more than one securityholder votes in respect of jointly held stapled securities, only the vote of the securityholder whose name appears first in the register will be counted.

Majority required

All resolutions are ordinary resolutions and will be passed if more than 50% of votes cast by securityholders present at the Meeting in person or by proxy, attorney or duly appointed corporate representative and entitled to vote on each resolution are cast in favour of the resolution.

Corporate Securityholders

In order to vote at the Meeting (other than by proxy), a corporation that is a securityholder must appoint a person to act as its representative. The appointment must comply with section 250D (for a meeting of the Company) and section 253B (for a meeting of the Trust) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The representative must bring to the Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it was signed.
