Ineligible Foreign Shareholders
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1 and Section 9A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the Company advises that it has decided that it is unreasonable to make the Rights Issue to registered shareholders on the Record Date with a registered address outside of Australia, New Zealand or (but only to the extent that they qualify as "institutional investors"), Singapore (Ineligible Foreign Shareholders), having regard to:
-
the small number of Shareholders with addresses outside of Australia, New Zealand or Singapore;
-
the small number and value of the New Shares those Shareholders would be offered; and
-
the cost of complying with the legal requirements, and requirements of regulatory authorities in each of the countries concerned.
Accordingly, the Rights Issue will not be made to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders.
If you have any questions regarding the Rights Issue, please do not hesitate to contact John Smith, Company Secretary on +61 2 8231 6640 or contact your stockbroker or professional adviser.
