Item 6:
Amendments to Snow Australia Constitution to facilitate electronic meetings
Background
The following amendments to the Company’s constitution incorporate various contemporary adjustments recognising and facilitating the use of electronic means for holding and attending meetings. During 2020 the need for such meetings was readily apparent and although Snow Australia could hold electronic meetings due to ASIC dispensations, the Snow Australia Board considers it is preferable to amend the Snow Australia constitution to recognise expressly and allow electronic general meetings of the company.
The following motion is moved as a special resolution under clause 5 of the Snow Australia Constitution and section 136(2) of the Corporations Act:
i. THAT the Constitution of Snow Australia Limited be amended as follows:
- Clause 9(c)(vii) be amended to read: “(presence of a Member) a reference to a Member present at a General Meeting means the Member being present whether in person, by electronic means or by proxy;”
The current wording only allows presence in person or by proxy. The amendment recognises presence as also being present electronically.
- Clause 15 be amended read: “An Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Company shall be held in accordance with the provisions of the Act and this Constitution and on a date and at a time and venue and in such manner as is determined by the Board. For the avoidance of doubt a General Meeting may be held by any form of instantaneous electronic communication and/or medium.”
The amendment reaffirms that General Meetings of the Company can be held electronically.
- Clause 24(a) be amended to read: “No business shall be transacted at any General Meeting unless a quorum is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. A quorum for General Meetings of the Company shall be twenty (20) Members entitled to vote present at the meeting.”
Amendment makes persons present electronically counted in the quorum for the meeting.
The following motion is moved as an ordinary resolution:
ii. THAT if the special resolution in 6(i) above is passed, the Chief Executive Officer of Snow Australia Limited or his nominee be authorised to prepare and execute all necessary documents and take all necessary actions as are required to effect the amendments.
By Order of the Board
