You will be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting if you are registered as a Shareholder of the Company as at 5pm (Perth time) on Wednesday, 27 April 2016. The Board has determined that the Shares on issue at that time are taken, for the purposes of the Meeting, to be held by the persons who held them at that time (under Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth)). Accordingly, transactions registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.
