I hold my shares through a nominee account; can I vote at the AGM?

If you hold your interest through a broker, bank or nominee (or similar) you should normally receive directions from such broker, bank or nominee (or similar) on how to attend and vote at the AGM or how to give a proxy or voting instructions. These directions should be followed. If you have not received such directions, it would be advisable to contact your broker, bank or nominee (or similar) as soon as possible.
