Further information
Based on the final allocation of the Shortfall determined by the Company and the Lead Manager, it is expected that the following Entitlement Offer participants will have the following Relevant Interests (as that term is defined in section 608 of the Corporations Act) in Cluey shares on completion of the Entitlement Offer.
| Name of | Relevant Interest | Relevant Interest | New Shares | Relevant Interest | Relevant Interest |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entitlement Offer | **(Pre-**Entitlement | (as a%)(Pre- | Issuedunder | (Post-Entitlement | (as a%)(Post- |

| Thorney | 32,061,180 | 15.90% | 38,468,286 | 70,529,466 | 19.99% |
| Perennial | 30,143,367 | 14.95% | 22,607,525 | 52,750,892 | 14.95% |
| M Rohald | 19,808,967 | 9.83% | 33,333,333 | 53,142,300 | 15.06% |

| Shareholders | |||||
| Total | 201,613,568 | 100% | 151,210,176 | 352,823,744 | 100% |
Since the aggregate value of the various commitments entered into prior to the commencement of the Entitlement Offer was in excess of the actual Shortfall, a decision was made to limit Thorney’s allocation of Shortfall shares to the extent necessary to ensure that its post-Entitlement Offer Relevant Interest remained below 20%[4] .
In addition, and further to the detailed disclosures provided in the Offer Booklet (and particularly in Sections 1.6 and 1.7 of the Offer Booklet), the Company confirms that:
-
(firm in relief) the legally enforceable firm in relief commitments provided by Messrs Gavshon, Rohald and Fordred and by other existing shareholders (including Thorney and Perennial) amounted to a total of 78,048,778 New Shares (which is equivalent to their participant’s aggregate pro rata Entitlement for New Shares); and
-
(underwriting) the legally enforceable underwriting commitment provided by the Lead Manager amounted to a total of 75,242,014 New Shares (which is more than needed to cover the difference between the total number of New Shares the subject of the Entitlement Offer (151,210,176) and the total firm in relief commitments (78,048,778)).
For completeness, the Company notes that the Lead Manager will not be issued with any New Shares on completion of the Entitlement Offer.
4 The Company does not believe that this decision has any implications on the control of the Company or on the outcome of the Entitlement Offer.
