FAQ's

Am I eligible to vote?

To vote, a shareholder must: 
a) Hold at least one voting A class share, and 
b) Own a landholding.

If you want information on your voting eligibility, please call MI on 02 6962 0200 

When does voting open and close?

Voting will open 19 August at 9am and will close at 5pm on 1 September. Votes will not be accepted before or after these dates. 

What if I haven't received my voting email?

If you haven’t received your email to vote, please check other folders in your inbox (e.g. Other, Focused, Spam, Junk, Promotions, Updates). It may vary depending on your email service provider. 

What is the voting method?

Voting uses a first-past-the-post system, which means you vote for one candidate only. To vote, select your preferred candidate online or place a 1 next to your preferred candidate on the postal ballot. Further instructions are included on the ballot paper.

How will the election process be run?

MI’s Sustainability & Governance Team will be managing the election, and all shareholding enquiries should be directed to company.secretary@mirrigation.com.au or 02 6962 0200.

Please note that MUFG (formerly Link Market Services) will be emailing the link to vote for those eligible shareholders who have previously elected to receive correspondence electronically.

As a result, shareholders will still receive voting-related communications directly from MUFG. Any other share registry enquiries should be directed to MI.

How do I know what email the material will be sent to?

If you are a shareholder of MI and do not receive correspondence via email from MUFG, or alternatively postal voting information from MI, by Friday 21 August, you should contact MI’s Sustainability & Governance Team via company.secretary@mirrigation.com.au or 02 6962 0200. 

I would prefer to vote in hard copy format. Can I change?

Yes, you can contact MI’s Sustainability & Governance Team via company.secretary@mirrigation.com.au or 02 6962 0200 to request a hard copy paper version. 

The following rules will apply should a shareholder elect to vote in hard copy paper: 

• the vote nominated on the hard paper copy will take precedence over any vote submitted electronically, irrespective of whether the electronic vote was submitted after the hard paper copy vote.
• the person requesting a hard paper copy for a shareholder must be an authorised representative of that shareholder. Authorised representatives are those that MI has on record as being previously verified and authorised. Shareholders can contact MI’s Sustainability & Governance Team should they wish to discuss authorised representatives.

How do I return my hard copy vote?

Please place your completed hard copy voting paper in an envelope and return it by either:

• Hand delivering it to the Hanwood or Leeton office during business hours, or
• Posting it to: (a postage stamp is required)
  Locked Bag 6010
  Griffith NSW 2680

Postal votes must be received by MI no later than 5pm on Tuesday 1 September.

All votes must be received by this deadline to be counted. Shareholders should be aware that votes returned by post are submitted at their own risk and may not arrive at MI before the closing time.

When will results be announced?

We will publish the results of the ballots by 3 September. The elected director will be further announced at the AGM, with their term commencing at the conclusion of the 2026 AGM. 

Does MI have preferred candidates?

No we do not participate in the vote and election of member directors. All voting is completed by eligible shareholders only. 

All electronic votes will be managed by MUFG. MI’s Sustainability & Governance Team will count hard paper copy votes at the conclusion of the ballot under the review of an independently appointed scrutineer.

Are candidates receiving any support from MI?

Yes. We assist all candidates equally throughout the process. MI support candidates with publicising their biography in the material sent to voters with the ballot and through our website and/or Facebook.

To enable contact with shareholders, MI provides a copy of the relevant shareholder list to all candidates under a confidentiality arrangement. This list only includes names and does not include any other information, such as address, phone number, or email.

In this section you can find information for shareholders, including fact sheets, forms and general shareholder information.

Should you require a copy of your share certificate, please contact the office on (02) 6962 0200 or email company.secretary@mirrigation.com.au
