LETTER FROM THE BOARD
6. VOTING BY POLL
There is no Shareholder who has any material interest in the proposed resolution regarding the appointment of auditor, therefore none of the Shareholders is required to abstain from voting on such resolution.

Accordingly, the resolution set out in the EGM Notice will be taken by way of poll.
On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative, shall have one vote for every fully paid Share of which he/she/it is the holder. A Shareholder entitled to more than one vote need not use all his/her/its votes or cast all the votes he/she/it uses in the same way.
7. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
