(2) No Options will be issued pursuant this Offer.
(3) Assuming none of the Options currently on issue in the Company are exercised before completion of the Offer.
The new Shares offered under the Offer represent 100% of the Company’s current issued Share capital.
Eligible Shareholders will be able to apply for additional Shares (over and above their entitlement) if all of the Shares under the Offer are not taken up by Eligible Shareholders (the Shares which are not taken up are hereinafter referred to as "the Shortfall") (“QS Shortfall Offer”). The Shortfall will be placed at the discretion of the Company, and the Company reserves the right not to allot any of the Shortfall or to allot to an applicant a lesser number of the new Shares comprising the Shortfall than the number for which the applicant applies or to reject an application. If there remains any Shortfall after the completion of the QS Shortfall Offer, the directors of the Company have reserved the power of placement of the remaining Shortfall at an issue price of not less than the issue price under the Offer, being $0.001 per Share.
Eligible Shareholders who have taken up their entitlement in full will not have their proportionate interest in the Company diluted by the Offer. Eligible Shareholders who take up their entitlement in full, and apply for (and are issued) additional new Shares forming part of the Shortfall will increase their proportionate interest in the Company. Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their entitlement in full (and Non-Resident Shareholders who are unable to participate in the Offer) will have their interest in the Company diluted.
Impact on Control of the Company
The Company’s largest shareholder, BNP Paribas Nominees Pty Ltd, which is an institutional investor, holds 9.56% of the Company’s total current issued Share capital. The Company’s next two largest shareholders, Tasman Resources Ltd (“Tasman”) and Tadea Pty Ltd (and associated entities) (“Tadea”) (both non-institutional investors), currently hold 7.34% and 6.79% respectively of the Company’s total current issued Share capital. Tasman and Tadea are unrelated shareholders.
If all Qualifying Shareholders take up their Entitlements in full, the voting power of all Qualifying Shareholders will remain the same. In that event, there will be no actual or potential effect or consequences arising from the Offer on the control of the Company. In view of the current shareholding of Tasman and Tadea, irrespective of the extent of the rights under this Offer which are taken up, and the extent to which Tasman and Tadea take up their entitlements under this Offer, this Offer is not anticipated to have any material effect on the control of the Company.

1488433v1
Further, if either of Tasman or Tadea elect to take up their Entitlements in full and to subscribe for any of the Shortfall, by virtue of the prohibition in s.606 of the Corporations Act, the maximum percentage interest which either of them can acquire in the Company’s total issued share capital at the completion of this Offer and QS Shortfall Offer is 19.99%. The Company expects that the potential effect of the issue of the Shares under the QS Shortfall Offer (which is placed at the discretion of the Company) on the control of the Company will also be minimal.
