Ahh. I understand.
Smith was mentioned in the AGM notes because he was due for re-election at the AGM. He chose not to offer himself for re-election at the AGM.
The appointment ( choice) of Egan was not an AGM matter. It is a board matter. When Egan is due for re-election it will become a AGM matter.
Any director can choose to resign before re-election is due, and that is not a AGM matter.
