Ineligible shareholders
A Shareholder who has a registered address outside Australia and New Zealand ( Ineligible Shareholder ) will not be eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
The Company's records indicate that you are an Ineligible Shareholder, and as a result, you are not eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer and you will not be sent a copy of the Prospectus. This decision has been made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) of the ASX Listing Rules after taking into consideration the costs of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand compared with the small number of Ineligible Shareholders and the number and value of New Shares to which they would otherwise be entitled.
Subject to the receipt of ASIC approval, the Company will appoint a nominee to which the Company will transfer the New Shares that would otherwise have been issued to Ineligible Shareholders, had they participated in the Entitlement Offer. The nominee will then sell those New Shares as soon as reasonably practicable and distribute to each of the Ineligible Shareholders their proportion of the proceeds of the sale, net of all expenses (including brokerage and any applicable taxes and charges). If any such net proceeds are less than the reasonable costs that would be incurred for distributing those proceeds, such proceeds may be retained by the Company. Ineligible Shareholders may receive no net proceeds if the costs of the sale are greater than the sale proceeds.
There is no guarantee that the nominee will be able to sell the relevant New Shares and Ineligible Shareholders may receive no proceeds. Both the Company and the nominee take no responsibility for the outcome of the sale of such New Shares or the failure to sell such New Shares.
For all enquiries concerning the Prospectus, please contact Kym Verheyen on +61 8 9322 3990. For all general shareholder enquiries, please contact Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited on 1300 850 505 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (outside Australia).
