About SunRice Group’s structure
The structure of SunRice Group contains non-standard elements including its dual class share structure comprising A Class Shares and B Class
Shares.
A Class Shares confer on their holders the right to vote at general meetings but no right to dividends. A Class Shares are not quoted on ASX and may
only be held by rice growers who meet the production quotas prescribed by the SunRice constitution. No person may hold more than 5 A Class
Shares. In practical terms the voting rights held by A Class Shareholders give those shareholders the right to control the election of directors and any
changes to SunRice Group’s constitution.
B Class Shares are quoted on ASX and confer on their holders the right to receive dividends, as determined by the directors from time to time.
Holders of B Class Shares do not generally have the right to vote at general meetings of SunRice Group. This means B Class Shareholders have no
right to vote on the election of directors of SunRice Group. No person may hold more than 10% of the total number of B Class Shares on issue.
