Any shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting has a right to appoint not more than two proxies to

If two proxies are appointed, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specified number or proportion of
a shareholder’s votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded. If no percentage or number is specified, each
proxy is entitled to vote half of the shareholder’s votes.
Proxies can be appointed in one of three ways:

Meeting will cast the shareholder’s votes in accordance with any directions provided on the Proxy Form, or if
no directions are provided, in accordance with the stated voting intentions of the Chair of the Meeting, to the
extent permitted by law.
Power of Attorney

attorney, the power of attorney (or a certified copy) must be received by the share registry at the address or
fax number above by no later than 10.00am (Adelaide time) on Monday 20 October 2025, unless the power of
attorney has previously been lodged with the share registry.

Explanatory Notes
FINANCIAL REPORTS
Item 1: Financial and other Reports
Section 317 of the Corporations Act 2001 requires each of the Financial Report (which includes the
Financial Statements and Directors’ Declaration), the Directors’ Report and the Auditor’s Report for the
last financial year to be laid before the Meeting.
The Reports referred to in Item 1 of the Notice of Meeting are included in the Annual Report sent to
shareholders who have requested to receive a copy. If you have not elected to receive a hard copy of the
Company’s 2025 Annual Report, it can be accessed on the Company’s website at www.argoinvestments.
com.au.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and make
comments on these Reports and on the business, operations and management of the Company.
There is no requirement for these Reports to be formally approved by shareholders.
REMUNERATION REPORT
Item 2: Adoption of the Remuneration Report
The Company’s Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June
2025 which is included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report is submitted
to shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of a non-binding resolution.
The resolution is advisory only. The Board will consider and take into account the outcome of the
vote and feedback from shareholders on the Remuneration Report when reviewing the Company’s
remuneration policies.
If the Company’s Remuneration Report receives an ‘Against’ vote of 25 per cent or more at two
consecutive AGMs, a resolution must then be put to shareholders at the second AGM as to whether
another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors who were in office at the date of
approval of the applicable Directors’ Report must stand for re-election.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and comment on
the Remuneration Report.
There have been no changes to the Company’s remuneration structure this year.
Voting Exclusion Statement
The Company will disregard any votes cast on Item 2 by or on behalf of a member of the Company’s Key
Management Personnel (KMP) whose remuneration details are disclosed in the Remuneration Report,
or by or on behalf of a closely related party of a member of the KMP, in any capacity, unless the vote is
cast as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote and:
͵ the proxy’s appointment directs how the proxy is to vote; or
͵ the vote is cast by the person chairing the Meeting, in accordance with the stated voting intentions
of the Chair of the Meeting.
Chair of the Meeting authorised to exercise undirected proxies
The Chair of the Meeting will be a member of the KMP, whose remuneration is included in the
Remuneration Report. You should be aware that the Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected
proxies in favour of Item 2. By appointing the Chair of the Meeting to be your proxy, you expressly
authorise the Chair of the Meeting to exercise your proxy in relation to Item 2 (including an undirected
proxy) even though the Chair of the Meeting is a member of the KMP. A shareholder may appoint the
Chair of the Meeting as proxy with a direction to cast the votes contrary to the Chair’s stated voting
intentions, or to abstain from voting on that resolution.
The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Item 2, noting that each
Director has a personal interest in his or her own remuneration from the Company.
