Ordinary shares
Effective 1 July 1998, the Company Law Review Act 1998 abolished the concept of par value shares and the concept of authorised capital.
Accordingly, the Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares.
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of and
amounts paid on the shares held. On a show of hands, every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to
one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.
Share buy-back
There is no current on-market buy-back.
Dividend reinvestment plan
The dividend reinvestment plan has been suspended since 1993.
Employee and executive share plans
Information relating to the plans is set out in Note 29.
Options
Information relating to the Management Share Option Plan, including details of options issued, exercised and lapsed during the financial year and
