The Company gives the following information under section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) in relation to the issue of the Shares:

  1. The Shares were issued without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act.

  3. (a) the provisions of Chapter 2M of the Corporations Act as they apply to the Company; and

Details of Incomplete Proposals

For the purposes of sections 708A(7) and 708A(8) of the Corporations Act, the Company provides the details below in relation to information which has been excluded from continuous disclosure by the Company.

The Company advises that it is in advance negotiations with its Managing Director, Mr David Budge, regarding amendments to his employment contract. These negotiations include potential amendments to Mr Budge’s remuneration package with the Company.

The Company is optimistic that it will be able to reach agreement with Mr Budge as to the final terms of a revised employment contract. However, there is no guarantee as to when this will finalised.
