This Meeting has been convened by the Company at the request of a group of shareholders (hereafter referred to as “the RM group”) then holding more than 5% of the Company’s issued shares.
The purpose of the Meeting is to replace 2 Directors of the Company who have been considered as not worthy of continuing to hold office, for the reason that their conduct whilst in office has not continued to be in the best interests of all other shareholders, who are of course, the Company’s owners.
Issued with the Notice of the Meeting was a Proxy Form.
This Form provides the opportunity for all shareholders - not likely to attend the Meeting – to vote primarily either FOR or AGAINST each Resolution being passed.
If you check out the online announcement to the ASX –per whatever websites you normally access for such Announcements - you will read, in the Notice’s detail, background information pertaining to the 2 people nominated as the replacement Directors.
The Proxy Form lists 4 self-explanatory Resolutions – which the RM group is now calling upon all shareholders to
support its move - by casting online – a FOR vote for each of the 4 Resolutions.
The following is the process that will assist you to vote online:
On the 1st page type in, as the Control # : 189267
On the next page, Login, using your SRN/HIN shareholder # : the 10-digit number as shown on the r.h. side of your CHESS HOLDING STATEMENT – which would have been issued – by Computershare - to you, soon after your BGS shares were registered into your, or your “family interest’s” name. The 10-digit # you insert, note, must be preceded by an X. Following this, if your shareholding address is Australian, insert your Postcode, and on the following window you’ll see your shareholder name.
(If that address is not Australian, you’ll need to nominate per the drop-down menu, which country it is).
Continue on from there, following each screen’s self-explanatory instructions, until you get to the Voting Approach page, where you’ll see the “Vote all your Holding” circle already marked.
Then click on the “I agree” button, which’ll take you to the next page :
“Voting Preferences Selection”
On that page, for Step 1, click on the circle for : Other Appointee, & insert: CURTIS ABBOTT
(Curtis will definitely be attending the Meeting in person, and be acting as Proxy to vote FOR, for many many other shareholders, some with substantial holdings.)
For Step 2, the final process, mark the FOR circle – for each Resolution.
Then click on “Continue” which will take you to Computershare’s’ confirmation page telling you the # of shares for which you’ve cast your votes.
When you have finished all this then proceed to send an email to : [email protected]
Subject to read : BGS - GM voting
Message to read :
I have just voted – 4 x FOR votes by :
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx -
(your shareholder name, or the shareholder name of the entity you ‘ve advised Computershare)
The shareholder’s City/town address, and State
followed by your Sign-off:
(your own name).
You can rest assured that your personal information will remain confidential with Curtis, and NOT be circulated “around the traps” for ANYone else to unscrupulously use.
The reason for sending the email to Curtis is so that he – and others of the RM group can keep a tally of the #s of FOR votes cast, which to achieve success – in the goal to remove the 2 Directors concerned – will have to be 50% +1, of the votes cast at the Meeting.
Note : If you choose to buy any more BGS shares – up until the C.O.B. on Wed. 15th March – even if you cast your votes now, the shares you buy between now and then will be included in the votes you’ve cast, as the shareholdings voted on – at the Meeting – are the registered holdings of shareholders as at 11am (WST) on Monday 20th March.
If you have not yet cast your votes ONLINE, but are still intending to, &/or are undecided about which way you wish to vote, remember that you only have until
11am (WST) on Monday 20th March
to do so.
If you also want to know what other posters’ (who’ve already advised on HC that they’re voting “4 x FOR) reasons are &/or what their opinions are - about the 2 Directors expected to be deposed – have a look at recent posts on any BGS thread, particularly the excellent post – to the new Thread : (created at 12.47pm today by fooca )
Because there are hundreds of posts a week, across all threads, to find other relevant posts
click on those with the high green numbers
under the Rating col. on the r.h. side of the 1st screen you get when accessing BGS on HC.
As Curtis is expecting a lot of online vote advices - in this the last week for doing so – please help him out by voting as soon as you can.
If you have any queries or require further clarification about any of the instructions and advice above, please email : Curtis at [email protected] or Frank @ [email protected] TG.
