* Appointment of proxies
Each member entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting may appoint a proxy
to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting. A proxy need not be a member
and can be an individual or a body corporate. A member entitled to cast two or
more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of
votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.
A body corporate appointed as a member's proxy may appoint a representative to
exercise any of the powers the body may exercise as a proxy at the Annual
General Meeting. The appointment must comply with section 250D of the
Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the meeting evidence of
his or her appointment, including any authority under which the appointment is
signed, unless it has previously been given to the Company.
Sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act apply to voting by proxy.
Members and their proxies should be aware of these provisions of the
Corporations Act. Generally, these sections provide that:
a. if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and
b. any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the
Chairman, who must vote the proxies as directed.
If the proxy has two or more appointments that specify different ways to vote
on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands.
* Lodgement of proxy documents
For an appointment of a proxy for the Annual General Meeting to be effective:
a. the proxy's appointment; and
b. if the appointment is signed by the appointor's attorney - the authority
under which the appointment was signed (eg a power of attorney) or a
