own computers or mobile devices. Shareholders will still be able to appoint a proxy to vote for them as they otherwise would, by following
the instructions on the proxy form and this Notice of Meeting.
Please note that not all questions may be able to be answered during the meeting. In this case, questions will be followed up after the

As a shareholder you may attend the meeting and vote, or you may appoint a
proxy to attend the meeting and vote on your behalf. A proxy can be any person
of the shareholder’s choice and does not have to be a shareholder. The Chair, or
any other Director, is willing to act as a proxy for any shareholder who wishes
to appoint him or her for that purpose. Any undirected votes in respect of a
resolution, where the Chair or any other Director is appointed proxy, will be voted
in favour of the relevant resolution, other than when he or she is prohibited from
voting on that resolution. To appoint a proxy, please enter the name of your proxy
in the space allocated in ‘Step 1’ overleaf of this form.
If you do not name a person as your proxy, but otherwise complete the
proxy form in full, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the
Chair will be appointed your proxy and will vote in accordance with your
express direction (subject to any voting prohibitions), and any discretion
granted on how to vote will be voted in favour of the relevant resolution.
Voting of your holding
Direct your proxy how to vote or give the proxy discretion as to how to vote on
the resolutions by completing FOR, AGAINST, ABSTAIN or PROXY DISCRETION
box on ‘Step 2’ overleaf. If the form is returned without a direction as to how the
proxy shall act on a resolution the proxy will exercise the proxy’s discretion as to
whether to vote and, if so, how.
Attending the Meeting
All shareholders will have the option to attend, vote and participate in the Annual
Shareholder Meeting either in person or, alternatively, online via an internet
connection using a laptop, tablet or smartphone. For further details see the
Virtual Meeting Guide enclosed. If a representative of a corporate security holder
