  • members of the KMP; and
  • Closely Related Parties of those persons, unless the vote is cast:
  • as proxy for a person entitled to vote in accordance with a direction on the proxy form; or
  • as proxy for a person entitled to vote by the Chair of the Meeting where he has been expressly authorised to exercise the proxy (even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with remuneration of a member of the KMP).

What this means for Shareholders:

If you intend to appoint a member of the KMP (such as one of the directors) as your proxy, please ensure you direct them how to vote on Resolutions 3 and 4.

Chair's Voting Intention:

If you intend to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, you can direct him how to vote by either marking the boxes for Resolutions 3 and 4 (for example, if you wish to vote against or abstain from voting), or you can give the Chair your express authority to vote your proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention set out below.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of resolution 3 and against resolution 4.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

Receipt and consideration of Accounts and Reports

This item is self-explanatory. It is intended to provide an opportunity for shareholders to raise questions on the reports themselves and on the performance of the company generally.

There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or the Constitution for Members to approve the Financial Report, the Director's Report (other than the Remuneration Report as set out in Resolution 3) or the Auditors Report.

Resolution 1: Election of a Director - Mr Malcolm McComas

In accordance with the Company's constitution, Mr Malcolm McComas resigns as a director, and being eligible, offers himself for re-election. Mr McComas was last re-elected by shareholders at the Company's extraordinary general meeting held on 22 February 2017 and in accordance with the Company's constitution, retires at this AGM, and being eligible, offers himself for election.

The Board (with the exception of Mr McComas who abstains from the recommendation) unanimously recommends the re-election of Mr McComas.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this Resolution.

Background information on Mr McComas is provided in the Company's 2019 Annual Report.

Resolution 2: Election of a Director - Ms Susan Thomas

In accordance with the Company's constitution, Ms Susan Thomas resigns as a director, and being eligible, offers herself for re-election. Ms Thomas was last re-elected by shareholders at the Company's extraordinary general meeting held on 22 February 2017 and in accordance with the Company's constitution, retires at this AGM, and being eligible, offers herself for election.

The Board (with the exception of Ms Thomas who abstains from the recommendation) unanimously recommends the re-election of Ms Thomas.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this Resolution.

Background information on Ms Thomas is provided in the Company's 2019 Annual Report.

Resolution 3: Adoption of Remuneration Report

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Company submits its remuneration report to shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of a non - binding resolution.

The remuneration report is set out in the Company's Annual Report. The report:

  • Explains the board's policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to directors, secretaries and key management personnel of the Company;
  • Sets out the Company's policy with regards to both executive director and non - executive director remuneration;
  • Explains the policy with regards to the issue of options to both directors and executives.

In considering this resolution, the attention of shareholders is drawn to the following matters, as further set out in the Remuneration Report:

4

The Corporations Act's "two strikes rule" provides that if at least 25% of votes cast on the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs are against adopting the Remuneration Report, members will have the opportunity to vote on a "spill resolution".

At the Company's AGM held in 2018, the Company received votes of 27.787% against the adoption of the Remuneration Report but did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices. A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 4 - Conditional Spill Resolution

The effect of this Conditional Spill Resolution being passed is that, subject to section 250W(4) of the Corporations Act, the Company will be required to hold another meeting of Shareholders within 90 days of the date of this AGM (Spill Meeting) and the directors who were in office when the First Strike was received, other than the Managing Director (if applicable), will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting. The business of the Spill Meeting will be to put to vote resolutions to appoint persons to offices vacated by the vacating directors.

Subject to Shareholders passing all of the resolutions at that General Meeting, none of the directors described in section 250V (1) (b) of the Corporations Act (being directors of the Company when the First Strike was received) will remain as directors of the Company. Accordingly, Shareholders should be aware that pursuant to section 250W (4) of the Corporations Act, if Resolution 4 is passed and none of the directors described in section 250V (1) (b) of the Corporations Act (being directors of the Company when the First Strike was received) remain as directors of the Company, the Directors have no intention to and will not be holding a Spill Meeting.

If you choose to appoint a proxy you are encouraged to specify how your proxy is to vote on

Resolutions 3 and 4.

If you appoint the Chair as your proxy, and you do not direct your proxy how to vote on Resolutions 3 and 4 on the proxy form you are taken to expressly authorise and acknowledge that the Chair will exercise your proxy, in line with his stated intention, even if he has an interest in the outcome of the resolution.
