Ann: Addendum to Notice of Annual General Meeting, page-6

It's either gross incompetence or artfulness. Or laziness or carelessness - as in they couldn't care less about what the shareholders think, and the Co-Sec couldn't be bothered to check!! It's extremely hard to believe that the Board, Executive Chairman and Catherine Grant-Edwards as the named Co-Sec did not recall the first strike at the last AGM. Their legal advisers are likely to have asked the CFO, Co-Sec and Chairman the question for Resolution 1 (see Explanatory Statement at 2.3) and a manifest error has been made. If they cannot get a simple matter of corporate governance right, how can they be trusted with the shareholders' funds? How is such incompetence being so grossly over-compensated? And to add insult to injury, they have a "don't worry about it" attitude. This is a serious matter. A spill meeting is what the shareholders need.
To answer cr7, a vote against the adoption of the Remuneration Report is the only way the shareholders can collectively express dissatisfaction. In ordinary circumstances, if we're unhappy as an individual shareholder, we can sell our shares. Here. we clearly cannot sell our shares and as such, this makes this collective action in voting against Resolution 1 and in favour of Resolution 5 (for spill of the Board) all the more important right now.
In my view, the current board and management clearly does NOT have the necessary skills and experience to "provide effective oversight to the Company and to represent shareholders" as claimed in the Addendum's Explanatory Statement. If they did, this shocking error would not have occurred.
