In accordance with amendments to the Corporations Act the Company is no longer required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1

General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2015.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for questions about or comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

11

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2015

2.2 Voting consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a "Spill Resolution") that another general meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.

2.3

Previous voting results

At the Company's previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.

2.4

Proxy restrictions

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report) by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the Proxy Form for Resolution 1.

If you appoint a member of the key management personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report (who is not the Chairman) or a closely related party of that member as your proxy, and you do not direct that person on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy cannot exercise your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the proxy form you are giving express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention.

Key management personnel of the Company are the Directors and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Company’s key management personnel for the financial year to 30 June 2015. Their closely related parties are defined in the Corporations Act, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – LIU XING ZHOU

Article 6.3 of the Constitution requires that where the Company has 3 or more Directors, onethird (rounded down to the nearest whole number) must retire at each annual general meeting. Additionally, each of the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 provide that a Director must retire from office no later than the longer of the third annual general meeting of the Company or 3 years following that Director's last election or appointment.

The Board adopted the Employee Incentive Plan in October 2015 to enable the Company to issue any of Options, performance rights or Shares to eligible participants being employees (full and part-time), directors, relevant contractors and casual employees.

The Employee Incentive Plan is intended to provide an opportunity to eligible participants to participate in the Company's future growth.

14

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2015

A copy of the Employee Incentive Plan will be made available for inspection at the Meeting. A summary of the Employee Incentive Plan is set out in Annexure 1.

The Employee Incentive Plan replaces the incentive plan that was the subject of Shareholder approval at the 2012 and 2013 annual general meetings. The current Employee Incentive Plan is in accordance with ASIC class order CO 14/1000 which expanded the class of financial products that could be offered (ie performance or incentive rights can be issued as well as shares and options) and expanded the categories of persons who can participate (ie certain contractors and casual employees).

8.2 Regulatory Requirements

Shareholder approval is not required under the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules for the operation of the Employee Incentive Plan. However, Shareholder approval is being sought to allow the Company to rely on an exception to the calculation of the placement limits imposed by Listing Rule 7.1 on the number of securities that may be issued without shareholder approval. Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9(b) provides that Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A do not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme that has been approved by shareholders and the issue of securities is within 3 years from the date of shareholder approval of the issue of securities under the employee incentive scheme.

If an offer is made to a Director to participate in the Employee Incentive Plan then separate Shareholder approval will need to be obtained.

8.3 Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders approve the issue of securities under the Employee Incentive Plan. It will allow the Company to issue securities for the benefit of participants of the Employee Incentive Plan whilst preserving the Company's placement limits of issuing securities and provide flexibility in the manner in which the Employee Incentive Plan is managed.

9. RESOLUTIONS 8 TO 10 - ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS

9.1

Background

Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 seek Shareholder approval so that the Company may issue Options to Messrs Cornelius, Maslin and Liu under the terms of an employee incentive scheme. The employee incentive scheme is the Employee Incentive Plan the subject of Resolution 7. The issue of Options to Mr Liu is subject to the passing of Resolution 2 (his re-election as a Director).

9.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act - Related Party Transaction

The proposed issue of Options to Messrs Cornelius, Maslin and Liu as Directors in each case is a financial benefit to a related party requiring Shareholder approval under the Corporations Act in the absence of a specified exception applying.

The following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 8, 9 and 10.

(a) The Related Party to whom the Proposed Resolutions would permit the Financial Benefit to be given

The related parties are Seamus Cornelius (Resolution 8), Anthony Maslin (Resolution 9) and Liu Xing Zhou (Resolution 10) or their nominees.

(b) The Nature of the Financial Benefit

The proposed financial benefit to be given is the issue of up to:

15

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2015

  • (i) 1,200,000 Options to Seamus Cornelius (or his nominee);

  • (ii) 1,200,000 Options to Anthony Maslin (or his nominee); and

  • (iii) 1,200,000 Options to Liu Xing Zhou (or his nominee).

The terms of the Options are set out in Annexure 2.

(c) Reasons and basis for giving the benefit and Directors Recommendation

The Board currently consists of Seamus Cornelius, Anthony Maslin and Liu Xing Zhou. By Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 the Directors will each receive Options.

The Directors have, and continue to be paid, what the Directors consider is less than their industry peers in order to direct the maximum funds towards creating value for all Shareholders. This is in line with the Company's general policy of non-cash based incentives in lieu of reduced wages.

The number of Options to be issued to each Director and the terms of the Options was negotiated by the Directors independent of that particular Director. The Options will be issued under the Employee Incentive Plan. The Board considers the number of the Options to be issued is appropriate in light of that Director's skill and experience and their remuneration as detailed below. The Options incentivise without a cash outlay by the Company.

All the Directors abstain from making a recommendation to Shareholders as they have or may be seen to have an interest in the outcome of the Resolutions.

The Company acknowledges that the issue of Options to Messrs Cornelius, Maslin and Liu as non-executive directors may be contrary to guidelines for non-executive remuneration in recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. However, the Board considers the issue of Options to be reasonable in the circumstances given the Company’s size and stage of development and the importance of maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.

(d) Dilution

The passing of Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 would have the effect of granting up to 3,600,000 Options.

If any of the Options are exercised into Shares, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders. If all the 3,600,000 Options were exercised into Shares, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of the existing Shareholders by approximately 3.9% based on the total number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice being 88,462,921 Shares.

The actual dilution will depend on the extent of further equity raised by the Company and whether any of the Options are exercised.

(e) Total Remuneration Package of Related Parties

The remuneration received by Seamus Cornelius is $40,000 per annum as a Director's fee including any superannuation.

The remuneration received by Anthony Maslin is $25,000 per annum plus superannuation.

16

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2015

The remuneration received by Liu Xing Zhou is $25,000 per annum as a Director's fee including superannuation.

(h) Valuation of Options

The Options will not be quoted on ASX.

The Company has valued the Options to be granted to the Directors or their nominees using the binomial option pricing model.

The following assumptions have been made regarding the inputs required for the option pricing model:

Input Note
Number of Options to related parties 3,600,000
Underlying security spot price 9 cents 1
Exercise price 12 cents
Dividend rate 0% 2
Volatility rate 100% 3
Risk free rate 1.982% 4
Expiry Date 30 November 2019

17

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2015

  • Note 1 The underlying security spot price used for the purposes of this valuation is based on the closing price of Shares on 15 October 2015 which was 9 cents.

  • Note 2 A dividend rate of 0% has been assumed as the Company has no history of dividends and is not expected to pay dividends over the life of the Options.

  • Note 3 A volatility rate of 100% has been adopted. This rate has been calculated by reference to the volatility of the Company's Shares over the last 1, 2 and 3 years and the historical volatility of comparable companies.

Note 4 The risk free rate is 1.982% based on the Commonwealth Government 5 year bond rate at 16 October 2015.

Based on the above assumptions the Options proposed to be issued to Messrs Cornelius, Maslin and Liu have been valued as follows:

Number and Value of Options Number and Value of Options
Options
Seamus Cornelius 1,200,000 Options – 5.84 cents per
Option (total value - $70,080)
Anthony Maslin 1,200,000 Options – 5.84 cents per
Option (total value - $70,080)
Liu Xing Zhou 1,200,000 Options – 5.84 cents per
Option (total value - $70,080)

(i) Other Information

The Directors are not aware of any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision as to whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 8, 9 and 10.

9.3 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not issue securities to a director of the company under an employee incentive scheme unless the issue has been approved by shareholders by ordinary resolution. If approval is given by shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14, separate shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 10.11.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue securities to Directors under Resolutions 8, 9 and 10 as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of the securities to Directors will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company's annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

Under Resolutions 8, 9 and 10, the Company seeks approval from Shareholders for the issue of Options to Seamus Cornelius, Anthony Maslin and Liu Xing Zhou as Directors who are each related parties of the Company.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided:

  • (a) The Options will be issued to Seamus Cornelius, Anthony Maslin and Liu Xing Zhou as Directors.

18

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2015

  • (b) The maximum number of Options that will be issued to the related parties is 3,600,000 Options.

  • (c)

  • No monetary consideration is payable for the issue of the Options.

  • (d) No securities have to date been issued under the Employee Incentive Plan as the Employee Incentive Plan has been adopted by the Board as a new plan in October 2015. It replaces an existing employee incentive scheme the subject of shareholder approval at the 2012 and 2013 annual general meetings.

  • (e) All the Directors (being Seamus Cornelius, Anthony Maslin and Liu Xing Zhou) are entitled to participate in the Employee Incentive Plan.

  • (f) No loans will be provided to Directors in respect of the issue of the Options.

  • (g) The Options will be issued no later than 12 months after the date of Shareholder approval.

10. RESOLUTION 11 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO EAMON HANNON

Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of a total of up to 2,000,000 Options to Mr Eamon Hannon. Mr Hannon is not a related party of the Company.

Information about Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4 above.

Mr Hannon is chief executive officer of the Company. Mr Hannon has, and continues to be paid, what the Directors consider is less than industry peers in order to direct the maximum funds towards creating value for all Shareholders. The issue of Options is seen as a cost effective way of providing Mr Hannon a tangible incentive to enhance the performance of the Company and is in line with the current management’s approach to conserve working capital and to align their interests with the existing Shareholders.

Due to the number of Options to be issued to Mr Hannon, specific shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 7.1 to the issue of the Options rather than rely upon approval to issue the Options to an unrelated party under the Employee Incentive Plan (which is the subject of Resolution 7).

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided to Shareholders:

  • (a) The maximum number of Options to be issued is 2,000,000.

  • (b) The Options will be issued within 3 months of Shareholder approval being obtained.

  • (c) There is no monetary consideration payable for the issue of the Options.

  • (d) The Options will be issued to Mr Hannon or his nominee. Mr Hannon is not a related party of the Company.

  • (e) The terms of the Options are set out in Annexure 2.

  • (f) No funds will be raised by the issue of the Options.

11. RESOLUTION 12 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT CAPACITY

11.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1 permits entities to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval in a 12 month period, subject to a number of exceptions.

19

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2015

Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible entities, which have obtained shareholder approval by special resolution, to issue Equity Securities up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ("Additional Placement Capacity").

The Company seeks Shareholder approval under this Resolution to be able to issue Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued is not fixed and will be determined in accordance the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (set out below).

11.2 Requirements of Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Eligible entities

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

(b) Shareholder approval

Shareholders must approve the Additional Placement Capacity by special resolution at the annual general meeting. A resolution under Listing Rule 7.1A cannot be put at any other shareholder meeting.

(c) Equity Securities

Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of Equity Securities of the Company that are quoted on ASX.

As at the date of this Notice, the Equity Securities that are quoted on ASX are fully paid ordinary Shares and listed Options (exercise price 30 cents, expiry date 31 January 2016).

(d) Formula for calculating number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity

If this Resolution is passed, the Company may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after this Meeting, the number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(AxD)-E

A The number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or
agreement:

plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an
exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12
months;

plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with the
approval of shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
D 10%
E The number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing
Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue
that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1
or 7.4.

20

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2015

(e) Interaction between Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

The Additional Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company has 88,462,921 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice. If the Resolutions the subject of this Notice are passed, the Company will be permitted to issue:

  • 13,269,438 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • 8,846,292 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will be permitted to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue or agreement to issue the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out above).

The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1A without using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

11.3 Information for Shareholders as required by Listing Rule 7.3A

(a) Minimum price

The issue price of the new Equity Securities will be no lower than 75% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) for securities in the relevant quoted class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the price of the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b)

Risk of economic and voting dilution

If this Resolution is passed and the Company issues securities under the Additional Placement Facility, existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted.

There is the risk that:

  • the market price for the Company's existing Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of issue of the new Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • the new Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price of the Company's existing Equity Securities on the issue date or the new Equity Securities may be issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the new Equity Securities.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

21

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2015

The table also shows:

  • two examples where variable "A" has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example a pro-rata entitlement issue) or future placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved by Shareholders in the future;

  • two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

This table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional Placement Capacity.

  • (ii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (iii) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (iv) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (v) The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

22

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2015

  • (vi) The issue price is 9 cents, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 15 October 2015.

The Company's ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to its ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1.

(c)

Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the Additional Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from 30 November 2015 (the date of this Meeting) and expires on the earlier of:

  • 30 November 2016, which is 12 months after this Meeting; or

  • the date that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking) (the " Placement Period ").

The Company will only issue and allot new securities during the Placement Period. The approval will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders' approve a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.

(d) Purposes for which the new Equity Securities may be issued

The Company may seek to issue new Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • cash consideration to raise funds for the acquisition of new assets or investments (including the expenses associated such acquisition), continued expenditure on the Company's current assets and for general working capital; or

  • non-cash consideration for acquisition of new assets and investments or for the payment of goods and services provided to the Company. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

(e)

Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy for the issue of new Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity will depend on the market conditions existing at the time of the proposed issue. The allottees will be determined at the relevant time having regard to factors such as:

  • the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • the effect of the issue of new securities on the control of the Company;

  • the financial situation and solvency of the Company;

  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (as relevant).

As at the date of this Notice the allottees are not known but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders. No allottee under the Additional Placement Capacity will be a related party or associate of a related party. Existing Shareholders may or may not be entitled to subscribe for any Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity and it is possible that their shareholding will be diluted.

23

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2015

If the Additional Placement Capacity is used to acquire new assets or investments then it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of the new assets.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A on the issue of any new securities.

(f) Details of Equity Securities issued in the 12 months preceding the date of Meeting

The Company has previously received Shareholder approval for the Additional Placement Capacity. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3A.6 the following information is provided to Shareholders:

26

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2015

12. RESOLUTION 13 – APPROVAL OF PROPORTIONAL TAKEOVER PROVISIONS

12.1 Background

It is intended to insert the " Approval Required for Proportional Takeover " (as set out in Annexure 3 to this Notice) as a new Schedule 5 to the Constitution.

Under the Corporations Act, a company may include provisions in its constitution to enable it to refuse to register shares acquired under a proportional takeover bid unless a resolution approving the bid is passed by the shareholders.

Where the approval of Shareholders is sought to include proportional takeover provisions in a constitution, the Corporations Act requires the Company to provide Shareholders with an explanation of the proposed proportional takeover approval provisions. That information is set out below so that Shareholders may make an informed decision on whether to support or oppose the Resolution.

12.2 What is a proportional takeover bid?

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each Shareholder is only for a proportion of that Shareholder’s securities in the relevant bid class.

Accordingly, if a Shareholder accepts in full the offer under a proportional takeover bid, the Shareholder will dispose of the specified portion of their bid class securities and retain the balance of their bid class securities. This means that control of the Company may pass without members having the chance to sell all their securities to the bidder. It also means the bidder may take control of the Company without paying an adequate amount for gaining control.

12.3 Effect of the provisions to be inserted

If a proportional takeover bid is made to Shareholders of the Company, the Board will be required to convene a meeting of Shareholders to vote on a resolution to approve the proportional takeover bid (“ Approving Resolution ”). That meeting must be held at least 14 days before the offer under the proportional takeover bid closes.

The resolution shall be taken to have been passed if a majority of Shares voted at the meeting, excluding the securities of the bidder and its associates, vote in favour of the resolution. The Directors will breach the Corporations Act if they fail to ensure the Approving Resolution is voted on. However, if no resolution is voted on before the end of the 14th day before the close of the offer, the resolution will be deemed to have been passed.

Where the Approving Resolution is passed or deemed to have been passed, transfers of Shares resulting from accepting the offer will be registered provided they otherwise comply with the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Operating Rules and the Company’s Constitution. If the resolution is rejected, then in accordance with the Corporations Act, the offer will be deemed to be withdrawn.

The proportional takeover approval provisions do not apply to full takeover bids and only apply for three years after the date of adoption of the provisions. The provisions may be renewed for a further three year term, but only by a special resolution of Shareholders.

12.4 Reasons for proposing the resolution

The Directors consider that Shareholders should have the opportunity to include a proportional takeover approval provision in the Constitution. Without the inclusion of such a provision, a proportional takeover bid for the Company may enable effective control of the Company to be

27

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2015

acquired without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all of their securities to the bidder.

Accordingly, Shareholders could be at risk of passing control to the bidder without payment of an adequate control premium for all their Shares whilst leaving themselves as part of a minority interest in the Company.

The proposed provision deals with this possibility by providing that if a proportional takeover bid is made for Shares in the Company, Shareholders must vote on whether or not a proportional takeover bid should be permitted to proceed.

The benefit of the provision is that Shareholders are able to decide collectively whether the proportional offer is acceptable in principle and it may ensure that any partial offer is appropriately priced.

12.5 No knowledge of present acquisitions proposals

As at the date on which this Explanatory Statement is prepared, no Director is aware of a proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

12.6 Potential advantages and disadvantages for the Directors and Shareholders of the Company

Advantages:

The inclusion of the proportional takeover approval provision will enable the Directors to formally ascertain the views of Shareholders in respect of a proportional takeover bid. Without such provisions, the Directors are dependent upon their perception of the interests and views of Shareholders. Other than this advantage, the Directors consider that insertion of such a provision has no potential advantages or potential disadvantages for them as they remain free to make a recommendation on whether a proportional takeover offer should be accepted.

The Directors consider that inserting a proportional takeover approval provision will benefit all Shareholders in that they will have an opportunity to consider a proportional takeover bid and then attend or be represented by proxy at a meeting of Shareholders called specifically to vote on the proposal. Accordingly, Shareholders will be able to prevent a proportional takeover bid proceeding if there is sufficient support for the proposition that control of the Company should not be permitted to pass under the proportional takeover bid. The provisions may also help Shareholders avoid being locked in as a minority with one majority Shareholder. In addition, increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders may ensure that any partial offer is adequately priced. Furthermore, knowing the view of Shareholders assists each individual Shareholder in assessing the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid and whether to accept or reject that bid.

28

Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form – November 2015

Disadvantages:

As to the possible disadvantages to Shareholders of inserting a proportional takeover approval provision, it may be argued that the proposal makes a proportional takeover bid more difficult and that such proportional takeover bids will therefore be discouraged. The chance of a proportional takeover bid being successful may be reduced. In turn, this may reduce the opportunities which Shareholders may have to sell all or some of their Shares at a premium to persons seeking control of the Company. Such a provision may also be considered an additional restriction on the ability of individual Shareholders to deal freely in their Shares.

12.7 Directors' Recommendation

On balance, the Directors consider that the possible advantages outweigh the possible disadvantages such that insertion of a proportional takeover approval provision is in the interests of Shareholders.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

If this Resolution is approved, then the Constitution will be amended and the proportional takeover approval provision will take effect from the date of the Meeting.

LODGEMENT OF YOUR PROXY FORM

This proxy form must be received by 12 noon on 28 November 2015.

Any proxy form (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) received after that time will not be valid.

How to complete this proxy form

If you are unable to attend the Meeting, you are encouraged to appoint a person or body corporate who will attend as your proxy and exercise your right to vote your shares. Your proxy does not need to be a shareholder. It may be an individual or a company. Note that if you appoint a body corporate as your proxy, the body corporate should appoint a person as its representative at the Meeting in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.

Appointment of a second proxy

If you are entitled to cast two or more votes, you may appoint up to two proxies to attend the Meeting and vote. A separate proxy form should be used for each proxy appointment. An additional proxy form will be supplied on request. If you appoint two proxies you must insert the percentage of votes to be allocated to each proxy in each proxy form. If you do not specify this, each proxy may exercise half of your votes. Fractions of votes are disregarded.

Directing your proxy how to vote

If you wish to direct your proxy how to vote (or to abstain from voting) on any item, place a mark (X) in the "For", "Against" or "Abstain" box for each item. If you mark more than one box on an item, your vote on that item will be invalid. If you mark the "Abstain" box for a particular item, you are directing your proxy not to vote on your behalf on a poll and your votes will not be counted in computing the required majority. If you do not direct your proxy how to vote, your proxy may vote as they choose.

Signing instructions

You must sign this proxy form as follows in the spaces provided.

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the proxy form must be signed by the shareholder.

Joint holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the shareholders should sign.

Companies : Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, the proxy form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can sign alone. Otherwise the proxy form must be signed by a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.
