Asking questions - before and at the AGM
You can ask questions both before and during the AGM. The most frequently asked questions from Shareholders will be addressed in the AGM presentations.
Shareholders and proxy holders are strongly encouraged to submit questions in advance of the AGM, even if participating online, by emailing investor.relations@starpharma.com.
Written questions, including questions to the Auditor, should be submitted by close of business on Friday, 22 November 2024. Written questions to the Auditor should relate to the content of the Auditor's Report and the conduct of the audit. The Auditor will attend the AGM.
Voting at the AGM
Voting on all items of business will be conducted by a poll. You may vote at the AGM in one of three ways:
- Live in the room during the AGM.
- Live and online during the AGM using the Computershare Meeting Platform.
- In advance of the AGM, by appointing a proxy (preferably the Chairman of the AGM) by 2:00 pm (Melbourne time) on 22 November 2024.
The Chairman will open the poll at the beginning of the AGM and the poll will remain open until declared closed at the end of the meeting.
Proxies
Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the meeting can appoint a proxy to attend and vote for them. The proxy does not need to be a shareholder and can be an individual or body corporate.
Shareholders are encouraged to appoint a proxy and submit a directed proxy vote, even if they plan to attend the meeting online.
Similarly, if a shareholder is unable to participate in the virtual meeting or will not have access to a device or the internet, they are encouraged to appoint a proxy and submit a directed proxy vote via www.investorvote.com.au or use a mobile device to scan the personalised QR code on the proxy form.
If you are appointing a proxy, to ensure that your vote counts, please read the instructions on the proxy form.
Items of business
The Notice of Meeting for the AGM outlines the items of business to be put to Shareholders for consideration. Background information on these items is contained in the Explanatory Memorandum, which forms part of the Notice of Meeting. Shareholders are encouraged to submit proxies before the Meeting.
