IMPORTANT VOTING INFORMATION

VOTING EXCLUSIONS

Voting exclusions for Resolution 1 - Remuneration Report

A vote on Resolution 1 must not be cast (in any capacity) by, or on behalf of, the following persons:

  1. a member of Pacific Current's Key Management Personnel (KMP) whose remuneration details are included in the 2021 Remuneration Report; or
  2. a closely related party of such a KMP (including close family members and companies the KMP controls).

However, a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution 1 as a proxy, if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described above and either:

  1. the proxy appointment is in writing and specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; or
  2. the vote is cast by the Chair of the AGM and the appointment of the Chair as proxy:
    1. does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and
    2. expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.

In accordance with section 250BD of the Act, a vote must not be cast on Resolution 1 as a proxy by a member of the KMP at the date of the AGM, or a closely related party of those persons, unless it is cast as proxy for a person entitled to vote in accordance with their directions. This restriction on voting undirected proxies does not apply to the Chair of the Meeting where the proxy appointment expressly authorises the Chair of the Meeting to exercise undirected proxies even if the resolution is connected, directly or indirectly, with the remuneration of the KMP.

KMP has the meaning as set out in the Act and refers to Directors of Pacific Current and those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of Pacific Current, directly or indirectly. Closely related party has the same meaning as set out in the Act.

Voting exclusions for Resolution 3 - Approval to issue securities under the Employee Share Ownership Plan

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.11, the Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 3 by or on behalf of any person who is eligible to participate in the Employee Share Ownership Plan or any of their respective Associates.

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of Resolution 3 by:

  • a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on Resolution 3, in accordance with the directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on Resolution 3 in that way; or
  • the Chair of the Meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on Resolution 3, in accordance with a direction given to the Chair of the Meeting to vote on Resolution 3 as the Chair decides; or
  • a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided that:
    • the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an Associate of a person excluded from voting, on Resolution 3; and
    • the holder votes on Resolution 3 in accordance with the directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

The Non-Executive Directors are ineligible to participate in the Employee Share Ownership Plan and this is the only employee incentive scheme. As a result, Non-Executive Directors will not be excluded from voting on Resolution 3.

Voting exclusions for Resolution 4 - Approval to issue securities to Mr Paul Greenwood, Managing Director, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Investment Officer under the Employee Share Ownership Plan

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 4 by or on behalf of any director of the Company (except for a director who is ineligible to participate in the Employee Share Ownership Plan) or any of their respective Associates.

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of Resolution 4 by:

  • a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on Resolution 4, in accordance with the directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on Resolution 4 in that way; or
  • the Chair of the Meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on Resolution 4, in accordance with a direction given to the Chair of the Meeting to vote on Resolution 4 as the Chair decides; or
  • a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided that:
    • the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an Associate of a person excluded from voting, on Resolution 4; and
    • the holder votes on Resolution 4 in accordance with the directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

In accordance with section 250BD of the Act, a vote must not be cast on Resolution 4 as a proxy by a member of the KMP at the date of the AGM, or a closely related party of those persons, unless it is cast as proxy for a person entitled to vote in accordance with their directions. This restriction on voting undirected proxies does not apply to the Chair of the Meeting where the proxy appointment expressly authorises the Chair of the Meeting to exercise undirected proxies even if the resolution is connected, directly or indirectly, with the remuneration of the KMP.

Voting exclusions for Resolution 5 - Approval of benefits to Mr Paul Greenwood on his cessation of employment or on transfer of undertaking or property of the Company
