Where a member who held shares jointly with another person dies, the surviving joint member can make application to Link Market Services to register the surviving joint member as the holder. A certified copy of the death certificate should be provided to establish the death of the deceased.

Where a member is not a joint holder and has left a will, the deceased’s Executor may either elect to be registered as the holder or transfer the shares in accordance with his or her powers as Executor. The deceased’s Executor will need to provide Link Market Services with:

1. a certified copy of the death certificate;

2. a certified copy of the will;

3. a certified copy of Probate.

The requirement to provide probate may be waived where:

1. the value of the deceased’s holding in the Company is less than $15,000; or

2. the Company Secretary is satisfied that Probate is not being obtained due to costs involved relative to the size of the estate and that the requirement should be waived in the particular circumstance. (The Executor will need to obtain from Link Market Services a Declaration that it is not intended to apply for probate.)

Where the Executor elects to be registered as the holder of the shares, then a Transmission Application must be obtained from, completed and then returned to Link Market Services. Where the Executor elects to register the shares directly to the beneficiaries or a third party then he or she must provide the necessary transfer documentation, including a duly executed Member Status Declaration.

The Company’s dividend policy is to pay, on a bi annual basis, as high a dividend as possible having regard to the Company’s cash position and the tests set out in section 254T of the Corporations Act.
