Important Notes
Requisite Majority
Each of the Resolutions is an ordinary resolution. An ordinary
resolution requires the approval of a simple majority of votes of
those Shareholders entitled to vote and voting (in person, by proxy
or by postal vote) in order for it to be passed.
Each Resolution is a separate resolution to be voted on separately
by Shareholders. Accordingly, each Resolution may be approved
regardless of the outcome of the vote on any other resolution.
Determining entitlement to vote
The persons (or their proxies or representatives) who will be
entitled to vote on the Resolutions at the Meeting are those
persons who are shareholders at 5.00pm on Tuesday 18 April
2017, and only the shares registered in those shareholders’ names
on that date may be voted at the meeting.
Proxies and corporate representatives
Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting may
appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf. A proxy need
not be a Shareholder. For example, shareholders may appoint the
Chairman of the Board or another person (such as the chairman of
the meeting) to act as their proxy. It is intended that the Chairman
of the Board be the Chairman of the Meeting, except in respect of
his own re-election where Mr John McMahon will act as Chairman
of the Meeting and cast proxy votes recorded for the “Chairman of
the Meeting”. The Chairman of the Board has advised that it is his
intention to abstain from voting discretionary proxies held by him in
favour of his own re-election.
If additional matters are raised during the course of the Annual
Meeting which require a shareholder vote, your proxy will be
entitled to vote as he or she thinks fit.
Shareholders may revoke their proxies by giving written notice of
revocation to the Company in the manner set out below no later
than 3.00pm on Wednesday 19 April 2017.
Postal voting
Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting may cast a
postal vote instead of attending in person or appointing a proxy to
attend. Wellington’s Company Secretary has been authorised by
the Board of Wellington to receive and count postal votes at the
Meeting.
Return of Voting and Proxy Form
A Voting and Proxy Form accompanies this Notice of Meeting.
If a Shareholder wishes to appoint a proxy or (in the case of a
corporate Shareholder), a representative or cast a postal vote, the
Voting and Proxy Form must be received by Wellington no later
than 3.00pm on 19 April 2017. The delivery, post, facsimile and
