CASTING YOUR VOTE

Voting will be conducted in advance of the AGM in order for all votes to be verified as correct. This is known as a proxy vote, which means you do not have to attend the AGM to vote.  There will be no votes cast on the day of the AGM – the proxy form will direct the Chair how to vote on your behalf against each resolution.

Voting took place between 12:00 Monday 10^th September 2018 until 17:00 Wednesday 10^th October 2018 and is now closed.

The results of the proxy votes were declared during the AGM and recorded in the Minutes, and included the total number of votes cast for or against the resolutions as well as the number of abstaining votes.  The results will also indicate whether a resolution has been carried or not.
