Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the full content of the Management Proxy Circular (Exhibit 99.1) for detailed financial performance and governance proposals, as this Form 6-K only incorporates it by reference.
- Confirm the specific registration statements (S-8 333-72454, S-8 333-101470, F-10 333-155243, F-10 333-162418) where the proxy circular is being incorporated.
- Note that the "Performance Graph" within the proxy circular is explicitly excluded from incorporation by reference.
- Review the separate Form of Proxy (Exhibit 99.2) if voting instructions are required, noting it is not incorporated into registration statements.
