Attachment
Resolution 1 - Amend the company’s constitution
To amend the Constitution to insert beneath Clause 7 ‘General meetings’ the following
new sub-clause: “Member resolutions at general meeting”
“The shareholders in a general meeting may by ordinary resolution express an opinion,
ask for information, or make a request, about the way in which a power of the Company
partially or exclusively vested in the Directors has been or should be exercised.
However, such a resolution must relate to an issue of material relevance to the
Company or the Company's business as identified by the Company, and cannot either
advocate action which would violate any law or relate to any personal claim or
grievance. Such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the
Company.”
Resolution 2 - Assess effectiveness of ethical sourcing and human rights
frameworks
Shareholders request the Board of Directors commission an independent third-party
report assessing how effectively our company implements its ethical sourcing and
human rights frameworks concerning technology suppliers.
The information should be published on Westpac’s website by no later than next year’s
annual reporting date and omit commercially sensitive information.
