SYDNEY RETAIL SHAREHOLDER MEETING - SAVE ARRIUM--SAVE WHYALLA, page-5

IVAN, THANKS FOR THE INFO.  THE 100 SHARHOLDER RULE WAS CHANGED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.  

BELOW IS SECTION 249D OF THE CORPORATIONS ACT WHICH IS NOW THE LAW REGARDING MEETINGS AS FAR AS I AM AWARE.  I DON'T KNOW WHO PAYS IF IT IS CALLED UNDER 249D BUT UNDER 249F, THOSE WHO CALL IT MUST PAY FOR IT.

PERHAPS WE ALSO NEED SOME PRO BONO LEGAL ADVICE IF THERE ARE ANY CORPORATE LAYWERS OUT THERE WHO WANT TO ASSIST.
