Four steps to make sure your vote counts

by Steve Johnson on October 19, 2009

This simple four-step checklist will make sure your vote counts come 12 November:

  1. Write the name Steven Johnson in the proxy box at the top of the page
  2. Place a cross against either ‘for’, ‘against’ or ‘abstain’ for each of the four resolutions
  3. Make sure you sign it
  4. Send the proxy form to Computershare, not to us or the company

If you leave the voting at my discretion, they’ll still get voted, at the meeting, in favour of Greg and me and against David Coe. But, by ticking the boxes when you send your proxy in, you’ll be sending a message loud and clear to the existing board before the meeting takes place. It also means the tally will be included in the Chairman’s address and any public information released about the meeting.

Come on all shareholders: Greg and Steve have OUR interests at heart. David Coe has NO interest in the company. He owns NO SHARES and struggles to get to ONLY half of the direstors meetings. For his efforts he received $73k.
Greg and Steve need our support to get the shareholders a fair deal, as well as working for the best interests of the company.
It’s showdown time: leave your “guns” at home and support Greg and Steve with your proxies.

For the resolutions, according to the instructions, the boxes should be crossed. Does a tick make them invalid??

Good pick-up. We’ve now changed the text in Steve’s article to say ‘cross’ rather than ‘tick’. Thanks for the eagle eye!

I voted as suggested, by left the proxy as the meeting chaiman. I take it they have to count the vote as I’ve made it?

We’d recommend giving the registry (Computershare) a call. Try 1300 85 05 05.

Since I am overseas I will be faxing my forms to the registry. In the meeting details it states that the originals have to be available if called for at the meeting. It seems this defeats the purpose of being able to fax the forms, and my originals may not make it there in time (since I have not even received them yet).
Should I just fax and then mail them and hope for the best?
