ATTACHMENT A
Resolution 1
Special resolution to amend our company's constitution
To amend the constitution to insert a new clause 46:
Member resolutions at general meeting
The shareholders in general meeting may by ordinary resolution
express an opinion, ask for information, or make a request, about
the way in which a power of the company partially or exclusively
vested in the directors has been or should be exercised. However,
such a resolution must relate to an issue of material relevance to
the company or the company's business as identified by the company,
and cannot either advocate action which would violate any law or
relate to any personal claim or grievance. Such a resolution is
advisory only and does not bind the directors or the company.
Resolution 2
Ordinary resolution on cultural heritage protection
Recognising that legislative review processes are underway in
relation to the extent of Indigenous cultural heritage protections
in Australia, in order to manage immediate risks to cultural
heritage and shareholder value, shareholders recommend that our
company take the following interim steps, until such time that
relevant laws are strengthened:
a. adopt a moratorium on undertaking activities which would
disturb, destroy or desecrate cultural heritage sites in Australia,
to be reviewed annually by the Board;
b. commit to non-enforcement of any relevant contractual or
other provisions that limit the ability of Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander Traditional Owners to speak publicly about cultural
heritage concerns on their land; and
c. disclose its expectations in relation to any lobbying on
cultural heritage issues by any industry association of which it is
a member.
Nothing in this resolution should be read as limiting the
Board's discretion to take decisions in the best interests of our
company.
Resolution 3
Ordinary resolution on lobbying relating to COVID-19
recovery
Shareholders request that the Board undertake, as soon as
practicable, a review of advocacy activities undertaken by our
company's Industry Associations relating to economic stimulus
measures in response to COVID-19.
Shareholders recommend that our company suspend, for a period
deemed suitable by the Board, membership of Industry Associations
where the review demonstrates, on balance, a record of advocacy
inconsistent with the Paris Agreement's goals.
Nothing in this resolution should be read as limiting the
Board's discretion to take decisions in the best interests of our
company.
