RESOLUTION 4- CAPITAL RAISING PURSUANT TO A PROSPECTUS
To consider and, if thought fit, to pass, with or without amendment, the following resolution as an ordinary resolution:
"That, subject to the passing of Resolutions 1 to 3 and 5 (inclusive), for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes, approval is given for the Company to allot and issue up to 25,000,000 Shares and up to 25,000,000 Options on a postConsolidation basis on the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Statement."
Voting Exclusion: The Company will disregard any votes cast on this Resolution by any person who may participate in the proposed issue and a person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of ordinary securities, if the Resolution is passed and any associates of those persons. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form, or, it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.
