EXPLANATORY NOTES
Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of 25,500,000 ordinary shares and 10,200,000 attaching options pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company may not issue or agree to issue more than 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period without shareholder approval. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of equity securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 if the holders of ordinary securities subsequently approve it, and the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.
Such ratification will take the shares out of the 15% cap and provide the Company with flexibility in capital management and allow the Company to make further issues for working capital purposes as required.
Accordingly, in order to restore the Company’s 15% placement capacity, it is proposed that the Members ratify the Company’s issue of 25,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price $0.165 per share and 10,200,000 attaching options exercisable at $0.24 per option expiring 31 December 2010 to sophisticated investor clients of Taylor Collison and Pacific Channel on 6 August 2009.
The issue of securities did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.
The funds raised from this issue of shares were employed as working capital by the Company.

You may, if you wish, split your voting direction by inserting the number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box. The vote will be invalid if a mark is made against more than one box for a particular item or if the total shareholding shown in “For”, “Against” and “Abstain” boxes is more than your total shareholding on the share register.
