ASX Announcement/Media Release COE171012a
Wednesday 17 October 2012
Dear Shareholder,
I send this letter to our shareholders to clarify the purpose
of resolution 8 (Resolution 8), the proposed 'Spill
Resolution', set out on the Cooper Energy Limited (Cooper)
proxy form attached to the notice of annual general meeting
which was dispatched to shareholders on 9 October 2012
(Notice).
Some shareholders have queried why Resolution 8 appears on
the proxy form and not in the Notice. As explained in section
2 of the explanatory memorandum, if more than 25% of the
votes cast at the meeting are against Resolution 1, sections
250V and 250R of the Corporations Act require Cooper to put a
resolution to shareholders, proposing that a second general
meeting be held where all of the directors (except for the
managing director) be put up for re-election.
It is not possible to know in advance of the meeting whether
Resolution 8 will be put to shareholders at the meeting. The
purpose of including Resolution 8 in the proxy form is to
give shareholders intending to vote by proxy an opportunity
to vote on Resolution 8 should it be put to shareholders at
the meeting (i.e. if more than 25% of the votes cast are
against Resolution 1).
Those shareholders who wish to support the current Board and
intend to vote in favour of
Resolution 1 for the adoption of the remuneration report
should vote AGAINST Resolution 8, the
'Spill Resolution', in case this resolution is required to be
put to shareholders.
Please do not hesitate to contact the company secretary, Mr
Ian Gregory, on +61 8 9489 3777, should you have any queries
regarding the forthcoming annual general meeting.
Kind regards,
Laurie Shervington
Chairman
