DIRECTIONS

If the relevant interests of a group of persons are essentially similar, they may be referred to throughout the form as a specifically named group if the membership of each group, with the names and addresses of members is clearly set out in paragraph 6 of the form.

  • (2) See the definition of "associate" in section 9 of the Corporations Act 2001.

  • (3) See the definition of "relevant interest" in sections 608 and 671B(7) of the Corporations Act 2001.

  • (5) The person's votes divided by the total votes in the body corporate or scheme multiplied by 100.

  • (6) Include details of: (a) any relevant agreement or other circumstances because of which the change in relevant interest occurred. If subsection 671B(4) applies, a copy of any document setting out the terms of any relevant agreement, and a statement by the person giving full and accurate details of any contract, scheme or arrangement, must accompany this form, together with a written statement certifying this contract, scheme or arrangement; and

  • (b) any qualification of the power of a person to exercise, control the exercise of, or influence the exercise of, the voting powers or disposal of the securities to which the relevant interest relates (indicating clearly the particular securities to which the qualification applies).

  • See the definition of "relevant agreement" in section 9 of the Corporations Act 2001.

  • (7) Details of the consideration must include any and all benefits, money and other, that any person from whom a relevant interest was acquired has, or may, becom`e entitled to receive in relation to that acquisition. Details must be included even if the benefit is conditional on the happening or not of a contingency. Details must be included of any benefit paid on behalf of the substantial holder or its associate in relation to the acquisitions, even if they are not paid directly to the person from whom the relevant interest was acquired.

  • (8) If the substantial holder is unable to determine the identity of the person (eg. if the relevant interest arises because of an option) write "unknown".

  • (9) Give details, if appropriate, of the present association and any change in that association since the last substantial holding notice.

Upon an Event of Default under the GMSLA, the GMSLA
provides, broadly, that both parties payment and delivery
obligations will be accelerated and replaced with an obligation of
one party to pay a single cash sum to the other determined in
accordance with the provisions of the GMSLA (as modified by
the Annex). The GMSLA provides that the parties’ right to
terminate the Agreement upon notice will not affect the parties’
existing obligations in respect of any outstanding loans of
securities. The Annex amended and restricted the Borrower's
termination rights–i.e. Borrower may not have the right to
terminate and return the borrowed securities - as the Borrower
was to borrow the securities issued by it (or its sister company)
to provide protection against the insolvency of the issuer and so
usual rights of termination in a GMSLA were restricted.
Subject to the terms of the relevant Loan, the Borrower, may
early terminate a Loan and return Equivalent Securities at any
time provided that it “shall cease to have such entitlement if an
Act of Insolvency with respect to any Security Issuer or any of
the Borrower’s or any Security Issuer’s affiliates has occurred, or
any such person takes any steps preparatory to any of the
matters which would constitute an Act of Insolvency
Does the lender have the right to recall early?
If yes, detail
Yes, at notice.
Will the securities be returned on settlement?
If yes, detail any exceptions
Yes.

A copy of this agreement will be provided to ALS Ltd. or the Australian Securities and Investments Commission upon request.
