On 3 April 2024, AL3 announced its intention to raise approximately $3.9 million through the Entitlement Offer.
The Entitlement Offer
The New Shares under the Entitlement Offer will be issued under exceptions 1 and 3 of the ASX Listing Rules ( Listing Rules ), Listing Rule 7.2 and exception 1 of Listing Rule 10.12 which means that Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10.11 (respectively) will not be required for the issue of New Shares under the Entitlement Offer.
Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders who are on the Company's share register at 7:00p.m. (Adelaide time) on 8 April 2024 ( Record Date ) will be entitled to subscribe for one (1) New Share for every three (3) Shares ( Entitlement ), at an Issue Price of $0.05 per New Share to raise up to approximately $3.9 million, on the terms set out in this Offer Booklet.
Eligible Shareholders who subscribe for their full Entitlement may also apply for New Shares in excess of their Entitlement ( Shortfall Shares ) under the Shortfall Offer. The Shortfall Offer is being made under this Offer Booklet.
The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten.
The Issue Price equates to a discount of approximately 28.6% based on the Share price of $0.070 at the close of trading on 25 March 2024, a discount of approximately 29.4% to the 5-day volume weighted average price (in which trades were recorded) up to and including 25 March 2024 of $0.0708 and a discount of approximately 23.1% to the theoretical ex-rights price of $0.065.
Entitlements are non-renounceable and will not be tradeable on ASX or otherwise transferrable. Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlement will not receive any value in respect of those Entitlements.
Proceeds of the Entitlement Offer
The proceeds of the Entitlement Offer will be utilised to establish a US headquarters and manufacturing hub, invest in its software and technology and for corporate costs and working capital.

3.3 Eligibility to participate in Entitlement Offer
The Entitlement Offer is being offered to Eligible Shareholders only.
Eligible Shareholders are persons who are registered as a holder of Shares as at the Record Date that:
-
(a) have a Registered Address in Australia or New Zealand; and
-
(b) are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States,
( Eligible Shareholders ).
Shareholders who are not Eligible Shareholders are Ineligible Shareholders.
The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make offers under the Entitlement Offer to Shareholders who have a Registered Address outside Australia or New Zealand having regard to the number of such holders in those places and the number and the value of the New Shares that they would be offered, and the costs of complying with the relevant legal and regulatory requirements in those places. The Company may (in its absolute discretion) extend the Entitlement Offer to Shareholders who have Registered Addresses outside of Australia or New Zealand in accordance with applicable law.
Determination of eligibility of investors for the purposes of the Entitlement Offer is determined by reference to a number of matters, including legal requirements, logistical and registry constraints, and the discretion of the Company. The Company and the Joint Lead Managers disclaim any liability in respect of the exercise or otherwise of that determination and discretion, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Shareholders with a Registered Address in New Zealand must note the selling restrictions set out in Section 4 of this Offer Booklet.
Eligible Shareholders will receive a personalised letter containing links to an Entitlement Form setting out their Entitlement which will accompany an electronic copy of the Offer Booklet. Shareholders who are not Eligible Shareholders, will not be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer or to subscribe for New Shares.
3.4
Entitlement Offer not underwritten
The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten.
3.5
Shortfall Offer
Any New Shares under the Entitlement Offer that are not applied for will form the Shortfall Shares. The offer to issue Shortfall Shares is a separate offer to the Entitlement Offer under this Offer Booklet ( Shortfall Offer ).
Under this Offer Booklet, subject to the Shortfall allocation policy described below at Section 3.6, the Company offers to issue the Shortfall Shares to Eligible Shareholders at $0.05 each, being the same price as the New Shares being offered under the Entitlement Offer.
The Company may issue Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer no later than three months after the Closing Date of the Entitlement Offer.
Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shortfall Shares by following the instructions on the Entitlement Form (refer to Section 7.3). See below for further details on the Shortfall allocation policy.
Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer Booklet
Page 11
An Application for Shortfall Shares accompanied by payment of Application Monies does not guarantee the allotment of any Shortfall Shares.
If the Company receives applications for Shortfall Shares that would result in the Shortfall Offer being oversubscribed, then the Company will not accept such oversubscriptions and will reject or scale back applications at its absolute discretion.
The number of Shortfall Shares applied for by any Eligible Shareholder may be satisfied in full, scaled back, or not satisfied. It is an express term of the Entitlement Offer that an Applicant for Shortfall Shares will be bound to accept a lesser number of Shortfall Shares allocated to them than applied for, if so allocated. If a lesser number of Shortfall Shares is allocated to an Applicant than applied for, excess Application Monies will be refunded without interest to the Applicant.
The Company will not issue Shortfall Shares where the Company is aware that to do so would result in a breach of the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules. Eligible Shareholders wishing to apply for Shortfall Shares must consider whether the issue of the Shortfall Shares applied for would breach the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules having regard to their own circumstances (including the existence of any associates). Directors and related parties of the Company will not be issued any Shortfall Shares without the prior approval of Shareholders.
Any Shortfall Shares issued will, in accordance with the Listing Rules, be issued within three months after the Closing Date and will be issued at a price that is not less than the issue price of the New Shares under the Entitlement Offer.

If:
-
(a) there is an oversubscription for Shortfall Shares the Company will scale back allocations for Shortfall Shares pro-rata between Eligible Shareholders applying for Shortfall Shares; or
-
(b) following the allocation in Section 0 there remains any Shortfall Shares, the Directors reserve the right, subject to any restrictions imposed by the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, to issue the unallocated Shortfall Shares at their sole discretion.

3.10 Risks
There are various risks associated with investing in the Company, as with any stock market investment, and, specifically, because of the nature of the Company's business and the present stage of development of the Company's operations.

Many of those risk factors are outside the control of the Company.
3.11
Issue and dispatch
New Shares issued pursuant to this Offer Booklet will be issued in accordance with the Listing Rules and the indicative Timetable set out in Section 1 of this Offer Booklet.
Pending the issue of New Shares or the payment of refunds pursuant to this Offer Booklet, all Application Money will be held in trust for the relevant Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company will, however, be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant of New Shares waives the right to claim interest by making payment by BPAY® or EFT in accordance with the Entitlement Form.
The expected dates for the issue of New Shares offered by this Offer Booklet and dispatch of Holding Statements are in the indicative Timetable set out in Section 1 of this Offer Booklet. It is the responsibility of Applicants for New Shares to determine the allocation prior to trading in the New Shares. Applicants who sell New Shares before they receive their Holding Statements will do so at their own risk.
3.12
ASX quotation
The Company will apply to ASX for quotation of the New Shares on ASX. If ASX does not grant official quotation of the New Shares, the Company will not issue any New Shares and all Application Money will be refunded, without interest.

4 Jurisdictional information
4.1 Ineligible Shareholders
The restrictions on eligibility to participate in the Entitlement Offer arise because the Company has determined, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) and section 9A(3)(a) of the Corporations Act, that it would be unreasonable to extend the Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Shareholders. This decision has been made after taking into account the relatively small number of Shareholders in the jurisdictions in which the Ineligible Shareholders are located, the relatively small number and value of New Shares to which those Shareholders would otherwise be entitled to subscribe for and the potential costs of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions in which the Ineligible Shareholders are located.
The Company, in its absolute discretion, may extend the Entitlement Offer to any Shareholder if it is satisfied that the Entitlement Offer may be made to the Shareholder in compliance with all applicable laws. The Company may determine whether a Shareholder is an Eligible Shareholder or an Ineligible Shareholder. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims all liability in respect of such determination.
4.2 Foreign Jurisdictions

5 Impact of the Entitlement Offer
5.1 Use of funds
Completion of the Entitlement Offer will result in an increase in cash at hand of up to approximately $3.9 million (before the payment of the costs associated with the Entitlement Offer).
The Company intends to apply the funds raised under the Entitlement Offer (up to approximately $3.9 million in total) plus its existing cash of $4.2 million (per 31 December 2023 Appendix 4C Quarterly Report) as follows:
| Use of funds under the Entitlement Offer | A$ m |
|---|---|
| US expansion to establish a physical presence with minimum one operating unit in the US. Recruit a US president, a small sales team and technical resources. |
$3.5 |
| R&D / product development through the launch of increased deposition and linear rail systems based on US market driven demand |
$1.0 |
| Working capital and Offer Costs | $3.6 |
| TOTAL | $8.1 |
The above is a statement of the Board's current intentions as at the date of this Offer Booklet. However, Shareholders should note that, as with any budget, the allocation of funds set out above may change depending on a number of factors, including the outcome of operational and development activities, regulatory developments, market and general economic conditions and environmental factors. In light of this, the Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied.
5.2 Capital structure – Entitlement Offer
The principal effect of the Entitlement Offer will be to increase the total number of Shares and to increase the Company's cash reserves by up to approximately $3.9 million (before deducting the costs of the Entitlement Offer).
The following table shows the capital structure of the Company before and after completion of the Entitlement Offer.
| Capital structure | Number |
|---|---|
| Current issued Shares, Options and Performance Rights | |
| Shares on issue at the date of this Offer Booklet | 235,553,713 |
| Options on issue at the date of this Offer Booklet | 18,442,165 |

| The Entitlement Offer | |
| Maximum number of New Shares to be issued under the Entitlement Offer | Up to 78,517,904 |
| (approximately) | |
| Maximum number of Shares on issue following the Entitlement Offer | |
| Maximum number of Shares on issue following the Entitlement Offer | Up to 314,071,616 |
| (approximately) |
The above figures may vary slightly due to rounding of individual Entitlements.

5.3 Potential effect on control
The potential effect the Entitlement Offer will have on the control of the Company’s undiluted share capital and the consequences of that effect will depend on:
-
(a) the extent that Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements;
-
(b) the extent that Eligible Shareholders take up any Shortfall Shares; and
-
(c) the extent to which any remaining Shortfall Shares are issued.
If all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements the Entitlement Offer will have no effect on the control of the Company.
Eligible Shareholders that accept their Entitlements in full may apply for Shortfall Shares, but no Shortfall Shares will be issued to an Eligible Shareholder if, in the view of the Directors, to do so would increase that Eligible Shareholder’s voting power in the Company above 19.9% or otherwise result in a breach of the Listing Rules, the Corporations Act or any other applicable law. In addition, no Shortfall Shares will be issued to any other person if to do so would, in the view of the Directors, would increase that Eligible Shareholder’s voting power in the Company above 19.9% or otherwise result in a breach of the Listing Rules, the Corporations Act or any other applicable law. Refer to Section 5.5 for further information.
The impact of control of the Company as a result of the Entitlement Offer will ultimately be affected by the level of applications under the Entitlement Offer. The final percentage interests held by Shareholders of the Company is dependent on the extent to which other Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlement and whether any Shortfall Shares are issued.
The potential effects of the issue of New Shares pursuant to the Entitlement Offer on the control of the Company is as follows:
-
(a) if all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, the New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will have no effect on the control of the Company and all shareholders will hold the same percentage interest in the Company following the Entitlement Offer as they did prior to the Entitlement Offer;
-
(b) in the event that there is a shortfall in the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders who do not subscribe for their full Entitlement of New Shares under the Entitlement Offer and Ineligible Shareholders will be diluted relative to those Shareholders who subscribe for some or all of their Entitlement; and
-
(c) the voting power in the Company held by Mr Andy Sales (and his associates) could increase from the current level of 13.79% up to a maximum of 14.1% (refer to section 5.4 below).
The Company expects that the potential effect of the issue of shares under the Entitlement Offer on the control of the Company will be minimal on the basis that no party will increase their voting power above 19.99%
5.4 Substantial holders and director interests
As at the date of this Offer Booklet, AL3 has the following substantial Shareholders, before and after completion of the Entitlement Offer.

Director, Andrew Sales, intends to subscribe for $50,000 worth of shares in the Entitlement Offer.
Potential dilution effect
Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted as a result of the Entitlement Offer (compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue at the date of this Offer Booklet) and this dilution could be significant given the Entitlement Offer ratio of one New Share for every three Shares held.
Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are detailed in the table below.

- 5.5
% voting power threshold
As a nominee has not been appointed under section 615 of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will not be able to rely on the exception for rights issues in item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act in relation to an application for their Entitlements.
In addition, no exceptions extend to applications for Shortfall by Shareholders. Accordingly, Shareholders must have regard to and comply with the takeovers prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act (that is, the 20% voting power threshold), when applying for Shortfall Shares. The Company reserves the right to reject or scale back any application for Shortfall Shares which it considers may result in a breach of section 606 of the Corporations Act. The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility for monitoring such applications or ensuring that individual Shareholders to the Entitlement Offer do not breach section 606 of the Corporations Act as a result of participation in the Entitlement Offer.
5.6 Joint Lead Managers
The Company has engaged Bell Potter, Taylor Collison and Cerberus to act as Joint Lead Managers to the Entitlement Offer ( Mandate ).
Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer Booklet
Page 18
Under the terms of the Mandate:
-
(a) a management fee of 2% (excluding GST) of the gross amount raised under the Entitlement Offer and the Shortfall Offer will be paid to the Joint Lead Managers in aggregate, to be split between the Joint Lead Managers equally;
-
(b) a selling fee of 4% (excluding GST) will be paid to each Joint Lead Manager in respect of the total proceeds under the Shortfall Offer procured by that Joint Lead Manager;

(c) a handling fee of 4% (excluding GST) will be paid to the Joint Lead Managers and other AFSL holders in respect to their respective contribution of proceeds under the Entitlement Offer procured from Eligible Shareholders who take up their Entitlement; and
-
(d) options in the Company up to a maximum of 3% of the total number of fully diluted Shares following completion of the Entitlement Offer and the Shortfall Offer will be issued to the Joint Lead Managers on the following terms ( Advisor Options ):
-
(i) the Advisor Options will be issued proportionately to the percentage of the Shortfall Offer placed; and .;
-
(ii) the Advisor Options will have an exercise price of $0.10 and will expire on 30 June 2026.
-
(e) If the total value (Issue Price multiplied by the number of Shortfall Shares) available to be placed by the Joint Lead Managers under the Shortfall Offer is less than $500,000, the Joint Lead Managers will have the right (but not the obligation) to place a number of Shares equal to the Company’s available placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the Issue Price ( Additional Shortfall Placement ).
The Mandate otherwise contains terms and conditions considered standard for an agreement of this type.

6 Key risks
6.1 Specific Risks
Technology and product development – The success of AL3 is dependent on the ongoing development of technology and products offered and used by AL3 being suitable for AL3 to undertake the contract manufacturing, Arcemy systems sales and opportunities available in a viable and cost-effective manner. Factors which may create risk include delays or non performance by third party suppliers, cost of production and the functioning of software and computing resources.
Operating risks – The Company is, and will continue to be, exposed to a range of operational risks relating to current and future operations. These include equipment failures and other accidents, industrial action or disputes, lease renewals, damage by third parties, floods, fire, major cyclone, earthquake, lightning strike, terrorist attack or other disasters. In the event existing insurance arrangements do not cover an operational issue, this could have a material adverse effect on the operating and financial performance of the Company. More specifically, equipment breakdown at the Company’s facilities may impact the Company’s production rates and ability to build Arcemy systems. Any prolonged electricity supply downtime may have an impact on the Company’s ability to fulfil purchase orders and have an adverse effect the Company’s reputation, operating and financial performance.
US Market Entry Strategy – The Company’s growth strategy involves partially relocating and expanding the Company’s existing Adelaide Contract Manufacturing Centre and establishing a new US based Contract Manufacturing Centre. At the date of this Offer Booklet, the Company has not secured a lease over premises for the US Centre. If the Company is not able to secure a lease over appropriate facilities in a timely manner and commission the centre promptly and within budget, there is a risk that the Company will not be able to meet its targeted growth plans which will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating and financial performance.
Lack of Customers and Demand – Presently, the Company is in a commercial production and systems sales stage with a number of clients which include the US Navy. There can be no guarantee that any of these commercial production or systems sales customers will convert into regular commercial customer contracts. Although the Company’s client base is expected to diversify as a result of the expansion of the Company’s revenue streams following completion of the Offer, the Company will initially be substantially reliant on a select number of clients in particular the US Navy. The loss of any of these clients may have a negative impact on the Company’s revenues and profits unless they can be replaced with a new client or clients. The Company’s future activities are specifically designed around further business development activities in order to grow the client base in Australia and United States.
Sales and Suppliers – AL3 depends on continued relationships with its current suppliers and clients. There can be no guarantee that supplier and client relationships will continue or will continue to be successful. AL3’s contracts with suppliers and clients, as with all other contracts, allow for termination. Further, there is a risk that sales cycles are longer due to the size of client companies and new agreements formed with clients in the future may be less favourable to AL3, such as key terms and pricing, due to unanticipated changes in the market.
Competition – AL3 competes with other wire arc additive manufacturing companies as well as similar 3D metal printing companies which utilise other forms of technology. Some of these companies have greater financial and other resources than AL3 and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. There is no assurance that AL3 can compete effectively with these companies.
Intellectual Property – AL3 currently has patent protection of its intellectual property rights in its proprietary WAM® technology in Australia, Japan and European regions. The Company has made patent applications to the US which are currently under examination, and it is not yet known whether patent protection in the US will be available. AL3 has policies and procedures to address these matters, including appropriate contractual provisions regarding intellectual property rights and confidentiality for employees and third parties. If AL3 fails to
Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer Booklet
Page 20
protect its intellectual property and trade secrets, competitors may gain access to its technology which could harm the business.
Foreign Exchange Risk – AL3 operates in Australia and internationally. Currently, most of the AL3's revenues are in U.S. dollars. The mix of currencies in which the Group earns its revenues and incurs its costs are likely to continue to change over time. Adverse movements in foreign currency markets could affect AL3's profitability and financial position. AL3's financial statements are prepared and presented in Australian dollars and any appreciation or depreciation in the Australian dollar against other currencies in which AL3 transacts, may adversely impact its financial performance and position.
6.2 General Risks
Economic and geopolitical conditions - There are a number of general economic and geopolitical conditions which may have an adverse effect on AL3's operations, and its ability to pursue its strategies. Such changes may include changes in government policy, taxation or other legislation, interest rates, unemployment, consumer sentiment, the strength of the Australian equity markets, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, financial failures of suppliers with which the Group contracts or the global economic outlook.
Equity Market Risks – There can be no assurance that the price of the Shares will increase or even remain at the Issue Price, even if AL3 is profitable and performing well. The Shares may trade at a discount to the Issue Price. The Share price may be affected by a number of factors, many of which are outside AL3's control, including the economic and geopolitical conditions described above or investor attitudes.
Taxation - The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences which will differ, depending on individual investors’ affairs. Any change in the general treatment of companies for taxation purposes may impact on investors’ returns, the treatment of dividends for income tax purposes or the taxation treatment of capital gains or losses for investors.
Dilution Risk - If shareholders do not participate in the Entitlement Offer in whole or in part then the percentage shareholding in AL3 will be diluted. AL3 may undertake capital raisings in the future to raise funds, facilitate employee share plans or fund growth and other strategic initiatives. While AL3 will be subject to the constraints of the Listing Rules regarding the percentage of its capital it is able to issue within a rolling 12-month period (other than where certain exceptions apply), there is a risk that the future issue of additional equity could result in dilution for Shareholders.
Trading and liquidity - Even though the New Shares are to be quoted on the ASX, there can be no guarantee of an active trading market for such Shares or that the price of those Shares will increase following completion of the Entitlement Offer. There may be relatively few potential buyers or sellers of these Shares on ASX at any given time. This may increase the volatility of the market price for their Shares that is less or more than the price that Shareholders paid for their New Shares under the Entitlement Offer.
Dividend Policy – AL3 does not currently pay a dividend. AL3's dividend policy is at the discretion of the Board and may change over time. There is no guarantee that dividends will be paid on Shares in the future, as this is a matter to be determined by the Board in its discretion and the Board’s decision will have regard to, amongst other things, free cash flow generation, profit generation and availability of franking credits. To the extent to which a dividend can be franked will depend on AL3's franking account balance and its level of distributable profits. AL3's franking account balance is contingent on AL3 making Australian taxable profits and will depend on the amount of Australian income tax paid by AL3 on those Australian taxable profits.

7.7 Payment by BPAY®
Eligible Shareholders (other than New Zealand Shareholders) should note:
-
(a) You should make your payment in respect of your Application Money via BPAY® for the number of New Shares you wish to subscribe for (being the Issue Price of $0.05 multiplied by the number of New Shares you are applying for, including any Shortfall Shares).
-
(b) Please follow the instructions on your personalised Entitlement Form (which includes the Biller Code and your unique Reference Number).
-
(c) Your BPAY® payment must be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Adelaide time) on the Closing Date. Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may impose earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment, and should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY® are received by this time.
-
(d) You do not need to submit your Entitlement Form but, by making a payment through BPAY®, you will be taken to have applied for the New Shares (and any Shortfall Shares) and made the declarations set out in the Entitlement Form.
-
(e) Please make sure to use the specific Biller Code and unique Reference Number on your personalised Entitlement Form.
Eligible Shareholders may not pay via cheque and must not forward cash by mail. Receipts for payment will not be issued.
If you have more than one holding of Shares you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding. If you receive more than one personalised Entitlement Form, please only use the Reference Number specific to the Entitlement on that form. If you inadvertently use the same Reference Number for more than one of your Entitlements, you will be deemed to have applied only for your Entitlements to which that Reference Number applies.
If the amount of your BPAY® payment for Application Money is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares (and any Shortfall Shares) you have applied for, you will be taken to have applied for such lower whole number of New Shares as your cleared Application Money will pay for. Alternatively, your Application will be rejected (at the discretion of the Company).
The Company will treat you as applying for as many New Shares as your payment will pay for in full, subject to any scale back it may determine to implement, in its absolute discretion, in respect of any Shortfall Shares. Amounts received in excess of the Application Money for your Entitlement ( Excess Amount ) may be treated as an Application to apply for as many Shortfall Shares as your Excess Amount will pay for in full.
Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer Booklet

Any Application Money received by the Company in excess of your final allocation of New Shares (and Shortfall Shares as the case may be) will be refunded as soon as practicable after the close of the Entitlement Offer. It is not practical to refund any amount of less than $5.00 to Shareholders and any refunds owing for less than this amount will be retained by the Company. No interest will be paid to Applicants on any Application Money received or refunded.
If you take no action or you fail to take any action prior to the Closing Date, your Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer will lapse.
7.8 Payment by EFT
Eligible Shareholders with a registered address in New Zealand who do not have an Australian bank account and who are otherwise unable to submit payment via BPay® will be able to pay by EFT. EFT is not available to Eligible Shareholders with a registered address in Australia.
For payment by EFT, please follow the instructions on the personalised Entitlement Form which includes your unique reference number. The unique reference number is used to identify your holding. Eligible Shareholders who have multiple holdings will have multiple unique reference numbers. You must use the unique reference number shown on each Entitlement Form to pay for each holding separately. Please note that should you choose to pay by EFT:
-
(a) You should make your payment in respect of your Application Money via EFT for the number of New Shares you wish to subscribe for (being the Issue Price of $0.05 multiplied by the number of New Shares you are applying for, including any Shortfall Shares).
-
(b) Please follow the instructions on the personalised Entitlement Form which includes your unique reference number.
-
(c) Your EFT must be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Adelaide time) on the Closing Date. Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may impose earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment, and should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that funds submitted through EFT are received by this time.
-
(d) You do not need to submit your Entitlement Form but, by making a payment through EFT, you will be taken to have applied for the New Shares (and any Shortfall Shares) and made the declarations set out in the Entitlement Form.
-
(e) Please make sure to use the unique Reference Number on your personalised Entitlement Form.
Eligible Shareholders may not pay via cheque and must not forward cash by mail. Receipts for payment will not be issued.
If you have more than one holding of Shares you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding. If you receive more than one personalised Entitlement Form, please only use the Reference Number specific to the Entitlement on that form. If you inadvertently use the same Reference Number for more than one of your Entitlements, you will be deemed to have applied only for your Entitlements to which that Reference Number applies.
If the amount of your EFT for Application Money is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares (and any Shortfall Shares) you have applied for, you will be taken to have applied for such lower whole number of New Shares as your cleared Application Money will pay for. Alternatively, your Application will be rejected (at the discretion of the Company).
The Company will treat you as applying for as many New Shares as your payment will pay for in full, subject to any scale back it may determine to implement, in its absolute discretion, in respect of any Shortfall Shares. Amounts received in excess of the Application Money for your Entitlement ( Excess Amount ) may be treated as an Application to apply for as many Shortfall Shares as your Excess Amount will pay for in full.
