      The Board has determined that a shareholder's voting entitlement at the AGM will be taken to be the entitlement of the person shown in the register of members as at 7:00pm AEST on 3 May 2015.


      Restrictions on Voting - Corporations Act


      Resolution 2 - Remuneration Report

      The Company will disregard votes cast by a member of the Key Management Personnel, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report, or a closely related party of such a member, in contravention of section 250R or 250BD of the Corporations Act. Restrictions also apply to votes cast as proxy unless exceptions apply.

      *If you are a KMP or closely related relative of a KMP (or acting on behalf of such a person) and purport to cast a vote that will be disregarded by the Company, you may be liable for an offence for breach of voting restrictions that apply to you under the Corporations Act.



      However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by:

      • a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

      • the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.


        Proxies


      • Specific voting restrictions apply to Key Management Personnel and their closely related parties and are set out under 'Restrictions on voting - Corporations Act' above.

      • A proxy form accompanies this Notice of Meeting.

      • A member entitled to attend the AGM and vote has a right to appoint a proxy.

      • The proxy need not be a member of the Company.

      • Any instrument appointing a proxy in which the name of the appointee is not completed is regarded as given in favour of the Chair of the meeting.

      • The appointment of one or more duly appointed proxies will not preclude a member from attending the AGM and voting personally in which case the appointment of proxies by that member will be deemed to have been cancelled prior to the commencement of the meeting.

      • Members who are entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote instead of themselves. An additional proxy form will be supplied by the share registry (Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited) on request by contacting 1300 552 270 or from outside Australia on +61 3 9415 4000. Where two proxies are appointed, both forms should be completed with the nominated proportion or number of votes each proxy may exercise. If no such proportion or number is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

      • Proxy forms must be signed by a member or the member's attorney or, if the member is a corporation, must be signed in accordance with section 127 of the Corporations Act or under hand of its attorney or duly authorised officer. If the proxy form is signed by a person who is not the registered holder of shares (e.g. an attorney), then the relevant authority (e.g. in the case of proxy forms signed by an attorney, the power of attorney or a certified copy of the power of attorney) must either have been exhibited previously to the Company or be enclosed with the proxy form.


        To be effective, proxy forms must be received by the Company at its registered office or deposited, posted, faxed or lodged online at the following addresses:

      • If a body corporate is appointed as proxy, please write the full name of that body corporate (e.g. Company X Pty Ltd). Do not use abbreviations. The body corporate will need to ensure that it:

        1. appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at meetings, in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act; and

        2. provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to commencement of the AGM.


        If no such evidence is received before the AGM, then the body corporate (through its representative) will not be permitted to act as your proxy.


        Body corporate representatives


        • A corporation, by resolution of its directors, may authorise a person to act as its representative to vote at the AGM.

        • A representative appointed by a corporation may be entitled to execute the same powers on behalf of the corporation as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual member of Ausenco.

        • To evidence the authorisation, either a certificate of corporate body representative executed under the common seal of the corporation or under the hand of its attorney or an equivalent document evidencing the appointment will be required.

        • The certificate or equivalent document must be produced prior to the AGM.
