  • f) in respect to section 1012DAA(7)(f) of the Corporations Act, the potential effect of the issue of the Units pursuant to the Entitlement Offer on the control of CMA and the consequences of that effect will depend on a number of factors, including the extent to which Eligible Unitholders take up the New Units under the Entitlement Offer.

  • b) if 50% of Eligible Unitholders take up their entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, then new investors[1] will receive 17,814,570 New Units (being 3.95% of units on issue in CMA following the Placements and Entitlement Offer) and the interests of those Eligible Unitholders who do not take-up their entitlements under the Entitlement Offer will be diluted;

  • c) if 25% of Eligible Unitholders take up their entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, then new investors[2] will receive 26,721,855 New Units (being 5.92% of units on issue in CMA following the Placements and Entitlement Offer) and the interests of those Eligible Unitholders who do not take-up their entitlements under the Entitlement Offer will be diluted;

  • d) if no Eligible Unitholders take up their entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, then new investors[3] will receive 35,629,140 million New Units (being 7.90% of the units on issue in CMA following the Placements and Entitlement Offer and the interests of all Eligible Unitholders will be diluted.

  • e) The New Units offered under the Entitlement Offer will represent 7.90% of the total number of units on issue (post Placements and Entitlement Offer).

No person, other than CNI, which is already above the 20% threshold, will exceed the 20% acquisition threshold.
