Ann: 2012 AGM presentation to shareholders , page-63

For all those who complimented my posts on this thread - thanks heaps.

I did manage to meet a few people at the AGM but to be honest, I found myself a little busy trying to absorb all the things being said.

Supertim, I was the guy sitting in the front row on the right, directly in front of Tony at the start fo the meeting. I ended up there because I arrived so early and Tony and I had the room to ourselves for about 20 minutes before anyone else arrived. I did manage to meet SAS1 and am now far less concerned about whether anything I say might annoy him - I've worked out where his nic comes from and it's not because he's a trained killer - it's hard to be scary when you wear sky blue - lol.

At the pub, I got talking to a couple of guys who are not on HC (as far as I can tell) along with Russell Williams. They had some great insights and it was quite some time into the session before I managed to push my way in to the circle that surrounded Tony. I assume all of the guys here that did get to meet each other where in that group?

One of the things I did get out of the pub discussion was a feel for the likely broker reaction and timing. The guys I was talking to had been encouraging Tony to talk to a few of their collegues (one of which has already been mentioned on this thread). Their opinions were that the broker was quite keen, had already prepared a note for distribution to clients, but was constrained from acting on it until such time as the first shipment was actully being loaded - at which time they would probably be looking to begin moving their clients into PLV. All hearsay admittedly, but it will be interesting to see how things pan out. One thing that they were certain of was that "volume is our friend" and that seems to be moving in our favour looking at today's action.

I'll be keen to catch up with everyone at our next AGM, or earlier if there is another get together - maybe the $1 party???

Cheers
