questions lodged at 2024 Cettire hybrid AGM


November 17, 2024

Below is the text of the written questions submitted at the Cettire hybrid AGM held on November 14 2024, plus a summary of the answers and some video grabs via Twitter.

Q1. Which of the 5 main proxy advisers - ACSI, Ownership Matters, Glass Lewis, ISS and ASA - issued a report ahead of today's AGM against any of today's resolutions? Did any of them recommend against any resolutions? If so, what was their reasoning and has this triggered any material protest votes? Please don't say proxy reports are confidential. It is standard for companies to be across this detail on the voting recommendations and inform shareholders where relevant.

Q2. Zoom is not a credible AGM platform for a company like Cettire capitalised at more than $600m as there is no ability to vote online and no drop down box for directing online questions to specific resolutions. Also, at next year's AGM please disclose the proxy position to the ASX with the formal addresses and when disclosing the outcome of voting, please include scheme-like data which reveals how many shareholders voted for and against each resolution, not just the overall votes case. This respects retail shareholder participation.

Answer: not asked.

Q3. Why is our founder Dean Mintz so secretive when it comes to media engagement? It creates the impression we have something to hide or are doing something wrong. Does Dean believe the various reports in The Australian and The AFR contained any legitimate criticisms and is there anything he would do differently in terms of how these issues were managed. Could the chair also provide his perspective on this issue. Did he ever attempt to engage with the journalists criticising our company?

Answer: The chair Bob East waffled on and never asked Dean to respond - listen to audio via Twitter.
