Voting by corporate representative
A Cassini Shareholder or proxy, which is a body corporate, may appoint an individual to act as its representative to vote in the Acquisition Scheme Meeting.
Unless otherwise specified in the appointment, a representative acting in accordance with his or her authority, until it is revoked by the body corporate Cassini Shareholder, is entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of that body corporate as that body corporate could exercise at a meeting or in voting on a resolution.
A corporation may appoint an individual as a representative to exercise its powers as Shareholder or as a Shareholder's proxy. The representative should bring to the Acquisition Scheme Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed, unless it has been previously given to the Company's share registry.
Voting by attorney
A Cassini Shareholder or proxy, which is a body corporate, may appoint an individual to act as its representative to vote in the Acquisition Scheme Meeting.
An instrument appointing an attorney must be in writing executed under the hand of the appointer or the appointer's attorney duly authorised in writing, or if the appointer is a corporation, under its common seal (if any) or the hand of its duly authorised attorney or executed in a manner permitted by the Corporations Act. The instrument may contain directions as to the manner in which the attorney is to vote on a particular resolution(s) and subject to the Corporations Act, may otherwise be in any form as the Directors may prescribe or accept.
A fax of a written power of attorney is valid provided it has been provided to Cassini on the fax number above by no later than 10:00am (AWST) on 19 September 2020. Such fax will be deemed to have been served on Cassini upon the receipt of a transmission report confirming successful transmission of that fax.
Voting by proxy
A Cassini Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Acquisition Scheme Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on the resolution to be put to the Acquisition Scheme Meeting and also to speak at the Acquisition Scheme Meeting. The appointment of a proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed, and if the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Cassini Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. A proxy need not be a Cassini Shareholder.
If a proxy is not directed how to vote any item of business, the proxy may vote or abstain from voting, as that person thinks fit. If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, that person is directed not to vote on the shareholder's behalf on the poll, and the Cassini Shares the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in computing the required majority.
Cassini Shareholders who return their Proxy Form with a direction how to vote but do not nominate the identity of their proxy will be taken to have appointed the chairman of the Scheme Meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a Proxy Form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the Acquisition Scheme Meeting, the chairman of the Acquisition Scheme Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions. Proxy appointments in favour of the chairman of the Acquisition Scheme Meeting, the company secretary of Cassini or any director of Cassini which do not contain a direction will be used to support the resolution to approve the Acquisition Scheme.
