NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2016

Explanatory Statement

Resolution 1 - Adopt Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report is included in the Directors' Report from page 27-36 of the Company's 2016 Annual Report, which accompanies this Notice of Meeting.

The Remuneration Report:

• describes the policies behind, and the structure of, the remuneration arrangements of the Company and the link between the remuneration of key management personnel and the Company's performance; and

• sets out the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors, the Managing Director and other key management personnel.

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted be put to the vote at the Company's AGM.

In accordance with the Corporations Act the vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on this resolution at the AGM when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies.

In accordance with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of the votes cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (spill resolution) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's Directors (not including the Managing Director) must be up for re-election.

At the Company's last AGM the votes cast against the Remuneration Report represented less than 25% of the total votes cast. A spill resolution will therefore not be required for this AGM.

Key management personnel details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report and their closely related parties are prohibited from voting on Resolution 1, except in the circumstances described in the voting exclusion statement set out in the Notice of Meeting.

The Company encourages all eligible shareholders to vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report. Resolution 2 - Re-election of Mr Mark Anthony Connelly BBus, MAICD
