Shareholders' visit to Moomba
During the past twenty-five years, a ballot has been held among shareholders present at the Annual General Meeting, affording them the opportunity to view the Company's Moomba operations. The Company has decided to arrange another visit in 2007.
The visit is for educational purposes and, as such, only those shareholders who have not previously visited Moomba are eligible.
Shareholders attending the Annual General Meeting in person (that is, other than in the capacity of proxy, corporate representative, or attorney) and who have not previously visited Moomba (whether as a shareholder, employee, former employee or otherwise) may register their interest in being included in the ballot by completing the relevant section in the Admittance Slip and presenting it on registration at the meeting. The Company reserves the right to cancel the Moomba visit and to exclude persons therefrom notwithstanding that they may have been successful in the ballot.
