Q1. Given the interesting discussions across a range of topics today and the CEO's comprehensive presentation, could the chair undertake to make an archived copy of the full AGM webcast available on the company's website for the benefit of the hundreds of shareholders who were unable to tune in live. Even better, why not lodge a copy of the full AGM transcript with the ASX, including the Q&A session?
Written answer after the meeting: Thanks Stephen, as mentioned the full AGM webcast will be made available to our website. And here it is.
Q2. I've only just joined the AGM due to attending other clashing AGMs. Best practice is now to disclose the proxy position to the ASX along with the formal addresses to offer more timely disclosure to the market and allow for a more fully informed AGM debate? The likes of Origin Energy, NAB, Car Group, Viva Energy, Webjet, Xero, Myer, Brambles and JB Hi Fi all do this. Will you adopt this practice at future AGMs?
Written answer after the meeting: Thanks for your question, Stephen. Our disclosures are in line with market requirements however we take your point about best practice. We will consider this practice for future AGMs.
Q3. The 2024-25 annual report says we have 13,412 shareholders but our 3 largest shareholders are unusual with Bank of New York Mellon holding 14.5%, Regal 14% and Insignia 10%. These are 3 names that we don't usually see at the top of ASX top 20 shareholder lists. What sort of access do these 3 big shareholders have to the leadership of our company and what would we say if any of them requested a board seat?
Written answer after the meeting: Thank you Stephen. Their access to leadership is in line with our standard communication policy for all top shareholders (e.g., routine, periodic contact usually after release of quarterly reports and physical meetings during week of AGM etc.). They don't receive any special communication.
