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.

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 2026 Annual Report, it can be accessed on the Company’s website at www.argoinvestments.

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
2026 which is included in the Company’s 2026 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.

Item 5: Renewal of Proportional Takeover provisions
Effect of Clause 25
Clause 25 of the Company’s Constitution has the effect of providing that shareholders representing a
majority of shares for which votes are cast at a general meeting must approve a proportional takeover
offer for their shares in order for any such offer to be effective.
Clause 25 only applies to proportional takeovers, and has no application where an offer is made for
all of a shareholder’s shares. If a proportional takeover offer is received, the Directors are required to
convene a meeting at least fifteen days before the offer is closed to consider a resolution to approve
the proportional takeover offer. The offeror and persons associated with the offeror are ineligible to
vote.
argoinvestments.com.au | 5
Reasons for Proposing the Resolution to Renew Clause 25
By virtue of the Corporations Act 2001, clause 25 will cease to apply three years after it was last
renewed (which was on 23 October 2023). A resolution is accordingly proposed that clause 25 be
renewed for a further period of three years from the date when the resolution is passed, so as to give
the majority of shareholders the right to approve or disapprove any takeover offer for less than 100%
of their shares.
Knowledge of Proposed Acquisitions
As at the day on which this Notice of Meeting is prepared, the Directors are not aware of any proposal
by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.
Advantages and Disadvantages for the Directors and Shareholders to date
Since clause 25 was first adopted, the Company has not received a proportional takeover offer. As
a result the clause has not been utilised, and as far as the Directors are aware the clause has not
therefore operated either to the advantage or disadvantage of Directors or shareholders.
Potential Advantages and Disadvantages for Directors and Shareholders
The renewal of clause 25 would enable the Directors to ascertain the views of shareholders in respect
of a proportional takeover offer, and ensure that all shareholders would have an opportunity to study
the offer and then attend or be duly represented at a meeting to vote on the proposal. The clause would
permit shareholders to prevent a proportional takeover offer proceeding if they believed that control
of the Company should not be permitted to pass under the proportional takeover scheme, and the
clause should ensure that the terms of any future proportional offers are structured to be attractive to
a majority of shareholders.
It may be argued that renewing clause 25 makes it more difficult for a proportional takeover offer to
proceed and that such offers could therefore be discouraged. This may in turn reduce the opportunities
which shareholders may have to sell some of their shares at an attractive price to persons seeking
control of the Company, and may reduce any “takeover speculation” element in the Company’s share
price. It may also be said that the provisions constitute an additional restriction on the ability of
individual shareholders to deal freely in their shares.
There is no specific advantage or disadvantage to the Directors, as directors, if the clause is renewed.
The Directors consider that it is in the interests of shareholders to have the right to vote on a
proportional takeover offer, and accordingly unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in
favour of Item 5.
