ELECTION OF PPCA LICENSOR REPRESENTATIVE
As the number of licensors had grown considerably over recent years, in 2005 the PPCA board and shareholders
moved to broaden board representation and provide an opportunity for increased participation by that group.
As a result, since 2006, the PPCA board has included an elected licensor representative. In 2014, the PPCA Board and
shareholders made a further change, extending the Board to include two Licensor Directors. These Licensor Directors
are appointed on the following terms:

• The Licensor Director must be (and remain during their term) a Managing Director or equivalent of a Financial
  Licensor; AND an Australian citizen or resident for tax purposes who has not been found liable for copyright
  infringement or admitted to such an infringement for at least five years prior to the date of the nomination;
• A ‘Financial Licensor’ is a PPCA licensor (excluding a shareholder) that has been allocated at least
  $1,000 in the most recently completed PPCA distribution, excluding amounts available for payment to
  featured Australian artists under the Artist Direct Distribution Scheme;
• The term of the appointment will be two years (commencing 1 July), and will be determined by an annual
  election;
• At each election one Licensee representative will be appointed (ie. staggered two year terms to ensure the
  Board always includes an elected Licensor representative with at least one year’s experience at Board level);
  and
• Each Financial Licensor (excluding shareholders) will be entitled to nominate a candidate from the pool of
  Financial Licensors, and then lodge a vote for their preferred nominee.
  Nomination forms are issued to licensors on or around April 1 each year. All nominees are offered the opportunity to
  provide biographical details, and the list of participating nominees, together with the data provided is available on
  our website. Ballot papers are then issued to all Financial Licensors.
