A copy is available on the Company's website.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Voting consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on a Remuneration Report resolution are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of Directors of the Company at the second annual general meeting (Spill Resolution).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting, at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) of the Company, would need to stand for re-election.

As the Resolution relates to matters including the remuneration of the Directors, the Board, as a matter of corporate governance and in accordance with the spirit of section 250R(4) of the Corporations Act, makes no recommendation regarding this Resolution.

In addition, Rule 34 of the Constitution provides that at each Annual General Meeting at least one director (if the composition of the Board is equal to or less than four) or otherwise one-third of the Directors (other than the Managing Director or any Alternate Director) for the time being, must retire from office. Directors who retire by reason of Rule 34 of the Constitution are those Directors who have been in office the longest since their last election or re-election. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election.

Mr Moore retires and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election in accordance with Listing Rule 14.4 and Rule 34 of the Constitution.

The Company provides the following biographic information of Mr Moore.

Mr Moore has multinational board and governance experience, specialising in digital marketing, and is a growth director with a focus on $10 to $100 million businesses.

He has a corporate career with director level marketing and general management experience across 30 countries, with success in launching and growing Australian and Global brands. His private company career saw him build a small technology based retail marketing business into the sector leader with 2,500 team members in ANZ, and clients that include Apple, Amazon, Bunnings, Coles and Woolworths.

He was previously the Chair and Non-Executive Director of Raiz Invest Limited.

He is currently the Chair of the Board (stepping down from close of this Annual General Meeting) and a member of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and Audit and Risk Committee.
