The key risk factors of which investors should be aware are set out in section 7 of this Prospectus.

Based on the capital structure of the Company as at the date of this Prospectus and assuming all Entitlements are accepted, a maximum of 145,071,776 Shares will be issued pursuant to this Offer, to raise up to $2,611,292.
As at the date of this Prospectus the Company has 17,350,000 Options on issue, all of which may be exercised prior to the Record Date in order to participate in the Offer. Please refer to section 5.4 of this Prospectus for information on the exercise price and expiry date of the Options on issue.
All of the Shares offered under this Prospectus will rank equally with the Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus. Please refer to section 6 for further information regarding the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares.
The purpose of the Offer and the intended use of funds raised are set out in section 5.1 of this Prospectus.
4.2 What Eligible Shareholders may do
The number of Shares to which Eligible Shareholders are entitled is shown on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Eligible Shareholders may:
-
(a) take up all of their Entitlement (refer to section 4.3);
-
(b) sell all of their Entitlement on ASX (refer to section 4.4);
-
(c) take up a proportion of their Entitlement and sell the balance on ASX (refer to section 4.5);
-
(d) take up a proportion of their Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse (refer to section 4.6);
-

4.3 Taking up all of your Entitlement
Should you wish to accept all of your Entitlement, then applications for Shares under this Prospectus must be made on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Prospectus or by completing a BPAY® payment, in accordance with the instructions referred to in this Prospectus and on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Please read the instructions carefully.
Please complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form by filling in the details in the spaces provided and attach a cheque for the Application Monies indicated on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
5
MACRO ENERGY LTD – AUGUST 2013 PROSPECTUS
Completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms must be accompanied by a cheque, to be completed and provided to the Company as set out in section 4.11. If you wish to pay via BPAY® you must follow the instructions in section 4.12. The Company shall not be responsible for any postal or delivery delays or delay in the receipt of the BPAY® payment.
4.4 Selling all your Entitlement on ASX
The Entitlements under the Offer are renounceable, which means that all or part of an Eligible Shareholder’s rights to subscribe for Shares under the Offer may be traded on ASX. If you wish to sell all of your Entitlement on ASX, provide instructions to your stockbroker regarding the Entitlement you wish to sell on ASX. Trading of Entitlements will commence on ASX on 15 August 2013 and will cease on 30 August 2013.
There is no guarantee that an Eligible Shareholder will be able to sell all or any part of their Entitlement on ASX or that any particular price will be paid for the Entitlements sold on ASX.
4.5 Taking up a proportion of your Entitlement and selling the balance on ASX
If you wish to take up only part of your Entitlement, complete the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the number of Shares you wish to take up and follow the steps in section 4.3 or make a payment by BPAY in accordance with section 4.12.
Subsequently, provide instructions to your stockbroker regarding the proportion of your Entitlement you wish to sell on ASX as per section 4.4.
4.6 Taking up a proportion of your Entitlement and allowing the balance to lapse
If you wish to take up only part of your Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse, complete the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the number of Shares you wish to take up and follow the steps in section 4.3. If you take no further action, the balance of your Entitlement will lapse and you will have forfeited any potential benefit to be gained from taking up or selling that part of your Entitlement.
4.7 Selling all or a proportion of your Entitlement other than on ASX
You may elect to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to another person other than on ASX. If the purchaser of your Entitlement is an Ineligible Shareholder or a person that would be an Ineligible Shareholder if they were a registered holder of Shares, that purchaser will not be able to take up the Entitlement they have purchased.
If you are a Shareholder on the issuer sponsored subregister and you wish to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to another person other than on ASX, forward a completed standard renunciation and transfer form (obtainable from the Company’s share registry) and the applicable transferee's cheque for the Shares they wish to subscribe for payable to “Macro Energy Ltd – Entitlement Issue Account” and crossed “Not Negotiable” to the Company’s share registry (by delivery or by post at any time after the issue of this Prospectus and on or before the Closing Date) at the following address:
By delivery Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited Level 2, Reserve Bank Building 45 St Georges terrace, Perth WA 6000

MACRO ENERGY LTD – AUGUST 2013 PROSPECTUS
By Post
Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited PO Box D 182 PERTH WA 6009
If you wish to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to or from another person on the CHESS subregister, you must engage your CHESS controlling participant (usually your stockbroker). If the transferee wants to exercise some or all of the Entitlement, you should follow your stockbroker's instructions as to the most appropriate way to take up the Entitlement on their behalf. The Application Monies for Shares that the transferee of the Entitlement wants to acquire must be received by Company’s share registry in accordance with section 4.3.
4.8 Allow all or part of your Entitlement to lapse
Shareholders should be aware that their Entitlement may have value. Entitlements are renounceable, which enables Eligible Shareholders who do not wish to take up part or all of their Entitlement to seek to sell or trade all or some of their Entitlement on ASX.
If you do not wish to accept or trade any part of your Entitlement, you are not obliged to do anything. If you do not take up your Entitlement or dispose of your Entitlement by the Closing Date, the Offer to you will lapse.
4.9 Implications of an acceptance
Returning a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form or paying any Application Monies by BPAY® will be taken to constitute a representation by you that:
-
(a) you have received a copy of this Prospectus and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and read them both in their entirety;
-
(b) you acknowledge that once the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is returned, or a BPAY® payment instruction is given in relation to any Application Monies, the application may not be varied or withdrawn except as required by law.
4.10 Minimum subscription
There is no minimum subscription.
4.11 Payment by cheque/bank draft
All cheques must be drawn on an Australian bank or bank draft made payable in Australian currency to “Macro Energy Ltd – Entitlement Issue Account” and crossed “Not Negotiable”.
Your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and cheque must be lodged and received at any time after the issue of this Prospectus, but no later than 5:00 pm WST on the Closing Date, at the Company's share registry (by delivery or by post) at:
By delivery Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited Level 2, Reserve Bank Building 45 St Georges terrace, Perth WA 6000

Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited PO Box D 182 PERTH WA 6009
The Company shall not be responsible for any postal or delivery delays.
4.12 Payment by BPAY®
For payment by BPAY®, please follow the personalised instructions in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:
-
(a) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and
-
(b) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your application monies.
Make sure that you use the specific Biller Code and unique Customer Reference Number (CRN) on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You do not need to return a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and the representations outlined in section 4.9. If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those Shareholdings, only use the CRN specific to that Shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings. This can result in your Application Monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result that any application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).
It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the share registry by no later than 5:00 pm (WST) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. Any application monies received for more than your final allocation of Shares (only where the amount is $1.00 or greater) will be refunded. No interest will be paid on any application monies received or refunded.
4.13 Details of substantial holders
Based on publicly available information as at the date of this Prospectus, those persons which (together with their associates) have a relevant interest in 5% or more of the Shares on issue are set out below:
| Shareholder | Shares | % |
|---|---|---|
| Craig Ian Burton | 6,124,970 | 8.44 |
| Remjay Investments Pty Ltd | 8,571,429 | 11.82 |
In the event all Entitlements are accepted there will be no change to the
8
MACRO ENERGY LTD – AUGUST 2013 PROSPECTUS
relevant interests of substantial holders on completion of the Offer. Both Mr Burton and Remjay Investments Pty Ltd have indicated that they (and all their related entities) intend to subscribe for their full Entitlement.
4.14
Underwriting
The Offer is underwritten up to $2,381,908 by the Underwriters. Refer to section 8.4 of this Prospectus for details of the terms of the underwriting.
4.15 Effect on control of the Company
As set out in section 8.4, the Offer is being underwritten up to a total of 132,328,249 Shortfall Shares ($2,381,908) under underwriting agreements as follows:
-
(a) Skye Equity Pty Ltd, which is controlled by Craig Ian Burton, to underwrite up to a maximum of $966,908 (53,717,138 Shortfall Shares). To the extent the Underwriter and its related entities have accepted their entitlements under the Entitlements Issue, such amounts will reduce the Underwriting Commitment;
-
(b) Remjay Investments Pty Ltd, to underwrite up to a maximum of $925,000 (51,388,889 Shortfall Shares). To the extent the Underwriter and its related entities have accepted their entitlements under the Entitlements Issue, such amounts will reduce the Underwriting Commitment;
-
(c) Mr Scott Jones, to underwrite up to a maximum of $240,000 (13,333,333 Shortfall Shares);
-
(d) Mr Brett Lawrence, to underwrite up to a maximum of $150,000 (8,333,333 Shortfall Shares); and
-
(a) Tyche Investments Pty Limited, to underwrite up to a maximum of $100,000 (5,555,556 Shortfall Shares).
The number of Shares held by each Underwriter and its voting power in the tables below, show the potential effect of the underwriting of the Offer. However, it is unlikely that no Shareholders, other than the Underwriters, will take up Entitlements. The underwriting obligation and therefore voting power of the Underwriters will reduce by a corresponding amount for the amount of entitlements under the Offer taken up by the other Shareholders.
Craig Ian Burton, who controls Skye Equity Pty Ltd, and Remjay Investments Pty Ltd are currently substantial shareholders in the Company but are not otherwise related parties of the Company. The relevant interests and changes of each of the Underwriters under several scenarios are set out in the table below and are based on the assumption that each Underwriter only takes up their full entitlement of Shares under a fully subscribed scenario, but no entitlement under the remaining scenarios (as relevant).

4.16 Potential dilution to Shareholders
In addition, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 66.67% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders is set out in the table below:
| Holder | Holding as at Record date |
% at Record Date |
Entitlements under the Offer |
Holdings if Offer not taken Up |
% post Offer |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shareholder 1 | 10,000,000 | 13.79% | 20,000,000 | 10,000,000 | 4.60% |
| Shareholder 2 | 5,000,000 | 6.89% | 10,000,000 | 5,000,000 | 2.30% |
| Shareholder 3 | 1,500,000 | 2.07% | 3,000,000 | 1,500,000 | 0.69% |
| Shareholder 4 | 400,000 | 0.55% | 800,000 | 400,000 | 0.18% |
| Shareholder 5 | 50,000 | 0.07% | 100,000 | 50,000 | 0.02% |
Notes:
- The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted by Eligible Shareholders are placed under the Shortfall Offer. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall was not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.
4.17 Shortfall Offer
Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Offer will form part of the Shortfall Offer.
The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date. The issue price for each Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.018, being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Offer.
The Directors reserve the right to issue Shortfall Shares at their absolute discretion, subject to the Underwriting Agreements. Accordingly, do not apply for Shortfall Shares unless instructed to do so by the Directors.
11
MACRO ENERGY LTD – AUGUST 2013 PROSPECTUS
4.18 ASX listing
Application for Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made in accordance with the timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any Shares and will repay all Application Monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.
The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares now offered for subscription.
4.19
Issue
Shares issued pursuant to the Offer will be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus.
Shares issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be issued on a progressive basis. Where the number of Shares issued is less than the number applied for, or where no issue is made, surplus Application Monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Shortfall Offer.
Pending the issue of the Shares or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all Application Monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.
Holding statements for Shares issued under the Offer will be mailed in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus and for Shortfall Shares issued under the Shortfall Offer as soon as practicable after their issue.
4.20
Overseas Shareholders
This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Shares will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.
The Offer is being made in New Zealand pursuant to the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013.
However, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.7, the Company has appointed a nominee, Argonaut Capital Limited, to sell the Entitlements to which Ineligible Shareholders are entitled. The nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing and price at which the Entitlements may be
12
MACRO ENERGY LTD – AUGUST 2013 PROSPECTUS
sold and the manner of any such sale. In consideration for its services as nominee, Argonaut Capital Limited will be paid a fee of $2,500 (exclusive of GST) and 1% brokerage on the Entitlements that it sells.
Any interest earned on the proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements will firstly be applied against expenses of such sale, including brokerage, and any balance will accrue to the relevant Ineligible Shareholders as described below.
The net proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements will then be forwarded by the Company as soon as practicable to the Ineligible Shareholders, in proportion to their share of such Entitlements (after deducting brokerage commission and other expenses). If any such net proceeds of sale are less than the reasonable costs that would be incurred by the Company for distributing those proceeds, such proceeds may be retained by the Company.
Notwithstanding that the nominee may sell Entitlements, Ineligible Shareholders may, nevertheless, receive no net proceeds if the costs of the sale are greater than the sale proceeds.
Neither the Company nor the nominee will be subject to any liability for failure to sell the Entitlements or to sell them at a particular price. If, in the reasonable opinion of the nominee, there is no viable market for the Entitlements of the Ineligible Shareholders, or a surplus over the expenses of the sale cannot be obtained in relation to the Entitlements that would have been offered to the Ineligible Shareholders, then those Entitlements will be allowed to lapse. The Shares not taken up will form part of the Shares to be subscribed for by the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements.
Shareholders resident in Australia or New Zealand holding Shares on behalf of persons who are resident overseas are responsible for ensuring that taking up an Entitlement under the Offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.

The Company is presently undertaking reviews of oil and gas investment opportunities, such reviews require the Company to employ consultants with the necessary engineering, geological and financial capabilities to ensure that adequate due diligence is undertaken on these potential acquisitions.
-
The Company currently has no revenue generating assets, however is active in pursuing potential oil and gas investment opportunities. In this mode of operation, the Company is conscious of maintaining a low level of outgoings and as a result is operating with a small management team. Working capital is required to progress the opportunities and secure the assets. When reviewing significant asset acquisitions the Company will be required to increase its project consultants to adequately complete due diligence. Many opportunities require a financial deposit to obtain exclusivity for dealings whilst the terms of the transaction are negotiated and finalised. The Company requires a level of financial capacity in order to secure such a deposit in an efficient time frame. A successful undertaking in this entitlement issue will provide the Company with ~$4m net cash available and the financial capacity to achieve the above objectives and secure desired oil and gas investment opportunities.
On completion of the Offer, the Board believes the Company will have sufficient working capital to achieve its objectives.
The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Prospectus. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.

MACRO ENERGY LTD – AUGUST 2013 PROSPECTUS
7. RISK FACTORS
7.1 Introduction
-
(a) The Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.
-
(b) There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.
-
(c) The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
7.2 Company specific risks
(a) Business opportunities
The Company currently has no revenue generating assets, however is active in pursuing potential oil and gas investment opportunities. The Company’s business strategy and business model depends in part on the successful completion of acquiring business opportunities and on the effective and successful running of the Company or project acquired. There can be no guarantee that the Directors will be able to identify suitable business targets to acquire, that any acquisition will be successfully completed, or that the company or project acquired will be profitable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
If any new business opportunity is acquired by the Company, it will carry with it specific risks in relation to the location and nature of the opportunity.
(b) Additional requirements for capital
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.
(c) Potential for significant dilution
Upon implementation of the Offer, assuming all Entitlements are accepted and no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date the
19
MACRO ENERGY LTD – AUGUST 2013 PROSPECTUS
number of Shares in the Company will increase from 72,535,888 currently on issue to 217,607,664. This means that each Share will represent a significantly lower proportion of the ownership of the Company.
It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company or a Share will be following the completion of the Offer being implemented and the Directors do not make any representation as to such matters.
The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the prospectus being lodged of 1.5 cents is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares after completion of the Offer.
7.3 Industry specific risks
(a) Resource Exploration and Development Risk
Hydrocarbon exploration by its nature contains elements of significant risk. The success of the Company depends on the discovery and delineation of economically viable energy reserves and resources, access to required development capital, movement in the price of commodities, securing and maintaining title to the Company’s exploration and production tenements and obtaining all consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of its exploration and production activities.
(b) Other incidents beyond the control of the Company
The operations of the Company may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond the control of the Company, including geological conditions, environmental hazards, technical and equipment failures and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather or other physical conditions, unavailability of drilling equipment, unexpected shortages of key personnel, labour, consumables or parts and equipment, fire, explosions and other incidents beyond the control of the Company.
7.4 General risks
(a) Economic
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
(b)
Market conditions
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;
-
(iii) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
20
MACRO ENERGY LTD – AUGUST 2013 PROSPECTUS
(v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
(vi) terrorism or other hostilities.
The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(c)
Dividends
Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.
(c)
Taxation
The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus.
(d) Reliance on key personnel
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment.
7.5
Speculative investment
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus.
Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings of a material nature and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company that are of a material nature.
8.2 Continuous disclosure obligations
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.

It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:
-
(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
-
(b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
-
(c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director.
All Non-Executive Directors will receive remuneration by way of fees and receive no retirement benefits. Non-Executive Directors may receive options. The issue of options to Non-Executive Directors is considered an appropriate method of providing sufficient incentive and reward whilst maintaining cash reserves.
A Director may be paid fees or other amounts (ie non-cash performance incentives such as Options, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval) as the other Directors determine, where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. In addition, Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.
The following table shows the total (and proposed) annual remuneration paid to both executive and non-executive directors.
| Director | 2011/2012 | 2012/2013 | 2013/2014 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brett Lawrence* | N/A | $30,000 | $180,000 |

MACRO ENERGY LTD – AUGUST 2013 PROSPECTUS
lodged with the ASIC, and the publication of notices referring to an electronic prospectus or electronic application form, subject to compliance with certain conditions.
If you have received this Prospectus as an electronic Prospectus, please ensure that you have received the entire Prospectus accompanied by the Application Forms. If you have not, please phone the Company on +61 9389 2000 and the Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of the Prospectus, or both. Alternatively, you may obtain a copy of this Prospectus from the Company’s website at www.macroenergyltd.com.au.
The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.
8.10
Financial forecasts
The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.
8.11 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will not be issuing option certificates. The Company is a participant in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.
Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Shares issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.
Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.
8.12
Privacy Act
If you complete an application for Shares, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or by the Company’s share registry). The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a holder of equity securities in the Company, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder and carry out administration.
The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company’s share registry.
30
MACRO ENERGY LTD – AUGUST 2013 PROSPECTUS
You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company or its share registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.
Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for Shares, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.
