ANNEXURE A

Summary of material proposed changes

A summary of material provisions of the Constitution is set out below. This summary is not exhaustive nor does it constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders.

Voting at a general meeting

At a general meeting of the Company, subject to any rights or restrictions attaching to any class of Shares, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy, representative or attorney has one vote on a show of hands and, on a poll, one vote for each fully paid Share held and a fraction of a vote for each partly paid Share held equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable.

Meetings of members

Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

Dividends

The Board may resolve to pay dividends to Shareholders and fix the amount of the dividend, the time for determining entitlements to the dividend and the timing and method of payment. For further information in respect of the Company's proposed dividend policy, see Sections 89 to 100.

Transfer of Shares

Subject to the Constitution, Shares may be transferred by a proper transfer effected in accordance with the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, by a written instrument of transfer which complies with the Constitution or any other form approved by the Directors. The Company may participate in any computerised or electronic system for market settlement, securities transfer and registration conducted in accordance with the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, or corresponding laws or financial market rules in any other country.

The Board may refuse to register a transfer of Shares where permitted to do so under the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. The Board must refuse to register a transfer of Shares when required to by the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

Issue of further shares

Subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, the Directors may issue, or grant options in respect of, or otherwise dispose of further shares on such terms and conditions as the Directors resolve.

Winding up

Without prejudice to the rights of the holders of Shares issued on special terms and conditions, if the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the Shareholders in kind all or any of the Company's assets and for that purpose, determine how it will carry out the division between the different classes of Shareholders, but may not require a Shareholder to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

Non-marketable parcels

Subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, the Company may sell the Shares of one or more Shareholders who hold less than a marketable parcel of Shares (unless the Shareholder has notified the Company in writing before a specified date that they wish to retain their Shares).

Share buy-backs

Subject to the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, the Company may buy back Shares on terms and at times determined by the Board.

Variation of class rights

Subject to the Corporations Act and the terms of issue of a class of shares, the rights attaching to any class of shares in the Company may be varied or cancelled:

  • with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares included in that class; or

  • by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of those shares.

In either case, in accordance with the Corporations Act, the holders of at least 10% of the votes in the class of shares, the rights of which have been varied or cancelled, may apply to a Court of competent jurisdiction to exercise its discretion to set aside such variation or cancellation.

Dividend reinvestment plan

The Directors may establish a dividend reinvestment plan (under which any Shareholder or any class of Shareholders may elect to reinvest cash dividends paid or payable by the Company by acquiring by way of issue or transfer (or both) Shares or other securities).

Directors - appointment and rotation

Under the Constitution, the minimum number of Directors that may comprise the Board is three and the maximum is ten. Directors are elected at annual general meetings of the Company. Retirement will occur on a rotational basis so that no Director (excluding the Managing Director) holds office without re-election beyond the third annual general meeting following the meeting at which the Director was last elected. The Directors may also appoint a Director to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or in addition to the existing Directors, who will then hold office until the next annual general meeting of the Company.

Directors - voting

Questions arising at a meeting of the Board will be decided by a majority of votes of the Directors present at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Subject to the Corporations Act, each Director has one vote. Subject to the ASX Listing Rules, in the case of an equality of votes, the chairperson of a meeting has a casting vote in addition to his or her deliberative vote.

Directors - remuneration

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules, the Directors, other than an Executive Director, will be paid by way of fees for services up to the maximum aggregate sum of $800,000 per annum or such other amount as may be approved by the Company in general meeting. The initial remuneration of the Directors is set out in Sections

6.3.2 and 6.4. Shares, options, rights and other share-based payments may be provided to Non-Executive Directors and the value of any such Shares, options, rights and other share-based payments will not be included in the aggregate maximum. The Constitution also makes provision for the Company to pay all reasonable expenses of Directors in attending meetings and carrying on their duties.

Indemnities

The Company, to the extent permitted by law, indemnifies each person who is or has been an officer of the Company against:

  • any liability (other than for legal costs) incurred by that person as a director or officer of the Company or its subsidiaries; and
  • reasonable legal costs incurred by that person in defending an action for a liability of that person as an officer of the Company or its subsidiaries.

The Company, to the extent permitted by law, may make a payment (whether by way of an advance, loan or otherwise) to a Director in respect of legal costs incurred by that person in defending an action for a liability of that person.

The Company, to the extent permitted by law, may pay, or agree to pay, a premium for a contract insuring a person who is or has been a Non-Executive Director or officer against any liability incurred by that person as a Director or otherwise in connection with the Company's business.

Inspection of records

Except as otherwise required by the Corporations Act, the Directors may determine whether and to what extent, and at what times and places and under what conditions, the financial records and other documents of the Company or any of them will be open for inspection by Shareholders other than Directors.

A Shareholder other than a Director does not have the right to inspect any financial records or other documents of the Company unless the Shareholder is authorised to do so by a Court order or a resolution of the Directors.
