1.3 Key risks
The business, assets and operations of the Company will be subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to influence the operating and financial performance of the Company in the future. These risks can impact on the value of an investment in the Securities of the Company.
The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures. Some of the risks are, however, highly unpredictable and the extent to which they can effectively be managed or mitigated may be limited.
Set out below are specific risks that the Company is and will be exposed to. Further risks associated with an investment in the Company are outlined in Section 4.
Specific Risks
(a) Start-up Risks
Fatfish Medialab, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fatfish Capital, invests in early-stage startup businesses in the internet and IT sectors. These startup businesses often possess nothing more than a conceptual business plan and early prototypes of their products. These startup businesses need to overcome significant business challenges to further develop their products and business plans so that they can reach a stage where their business operations are self-sustaining and profitable.
(b) Short and Long Term Funding Risks
The Group principally generates income via exits from its investments. Exits from investments could take typically 2 to 4 years from initial investments. During this gestation period, the Group needs to rely on its own funding to continuously make further investments into new businesses it identifies to maintain a pipeline of investments that it can continue to work on. The Group will also be dependent on its own funding to maintain its own business operations. There is a possibility that the Group will need to look for further funding in the short term to finance its business plan if it has not achieved exits from its investments in the near future.
Fatfish Medialab is an official incubator appointed by the Media Development Authority ( MDA ) of Singapore to run the i.jam Reload co-investment programme, of which Fatfish Medialab is dependent on the grant it receives continuously from MDA to make investments into start-up businesses in the Internet and IT sectors.
For some of the businesses it invests in, the Group will rely on its ability to enhance the value of the businesses together with the management of these companies so that they can reach a more mature stage where the businesses can attract significant investments from third-party investors introduced by the Group. The growth of some of these businesses will be dependent on the success of raising further capital from these thirdparty investors.
This is a replacement prospectus dated 6 July 2015. It replaces a prospectus dated 30 June 2015, relating to New Shares of Fatfish Internet Group Ltd.

- (c) Varying influence in its investments
The varying influence that the Group has in each entity in which it currently has an investment is as follows:
-
(i) Dressabelle : the Group plays a semi-active role to assist Dressabelle to expand into new markets of Indonesia and Malaysia. The Group also advises Dressabelle in its funding needs and strategy. Mr Kin Wai Lau is a non-executive director of Dressabelle.
-
(ii) AppXplore, Kensington, FAG and VDancer : the Group plays an active role in advising management on its operations and product development plan. The short term goal is to assist the entities to complete the development of their products and to launch their game titles into the market. Mr Chang Jeh Ong is a nonexecutive director of AppXplore, FAG and Kensington. Mr Kin Wai Lau is a nonexecutive director of AppXplore and VDancer.
-
(iii) Lunch Actually Group, Infini Square, Novatap and Peeplepass : the Group plays a passive role in the daily operations/management of these entities. The entities consult the Group when required with regards to their product development and corporate funding strategy.

3 Purpose and effect of the Offer on the Company
3.1 Purpose of the Offer
The Company is seeking to raise only a nominal amount of $3,800 (before expenses) under this Prospectus and, accordingly, the purpose of this Prospectus is not to raise capital.
The primary purpose of this Prospectus is to remove any trading restrictions that may be attached to Shares issued by the Company prior to the Closing Date.
Section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act provides that a sale offer (ie, as part of post-allotment trading) does not need disclosure to investors if:
-
(a) the relevant securities are in a class of securities that were quoted securities at all times in the 3 months before the day on which the relevant securities were issued;
-
(b) trading in that class of securities on a prescribed financial market on which they were quoted was not suspended for more than a total of 5 days during the shorter of the period during which the class of securities were quoted, and the period of 12 months before the day on which the relevant securities were issued;
-
(c) the Company has not been exempted by ASIC from the continuous disclosure provisions at any time during the relevant period referred to in paragraph 3.1(b);
-
(d) the Company or any person as director or auditor of the body has not been exempted from or received an instrument of modification in relation to the financial reporting provisions at any time during the relevant period referred to in paragraph 3.1(b); and
-
(e) (relevantly) the Company gives the relevant market operator for the Company a notice that complies with section 708A(6) of the Corporations Act before the sale offer is made.
The Company was suspended since at least 23 August 2007 until commencement of trading on 22 July 2014. Accordingly, the Company has been suspended for more than 5 days during the past 12 months and therefore cannot rely on section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act to enable sale offer/s without disclosure to investors.
However, Section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act provides that a sale offer does not need disclosure to investors if:
-
(a) the relevant securities are in a class of securities that are quoted securities of the body; and
-
(b) either:
-
(i) a prospectus is lodged with the ASIC on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued but before the day on which the sale offer is made; or
-
(ii) a prospectus is lodged with ASIC before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued; and
-
(c) the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the body that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.
This Prospectus has been prepared primarily for the purpose of section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.
This is a replacement prospectus dated 6 July 2015. It replaces a prospectus dated 30 June 2015, relating to New Shares of Fatfish Internet Group Ltd.

Risk Factors
4
4.1 Introduction
The Securities 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, before deciding whether to apply for Securities and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
There are specific risks which relate directly to the Group’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Group and the Directors. The risks identified in this Section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Group and the market price of the Shares.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Group is exposed. The types of risks the Group is exposed to can change over time and vary with changes in economic, technological, environmental and regulatory conditions both generally within the retail industry and within the e-Commerce and internet sector specifically.
4.2 Key risks
(a) Start-up Risks
Refer to Section 1.3 for details of the key risks the Group is exposed to.
(b) Short and long term funding risks
Refer to Section 1.3 for details of the key risks the Group is exposed to.
(c) Varying Influence in its Investments
The Group has a varying degree of influence in the daily operation and management of businesses that it invests in. In some cases this role is quite limited, which could limit its ability to assist the growth of that business.
The varying degree of participation for the management role that the Group seeks can be further defined and categorized as follow:
-
(i) Active Role
-
(A) the Group’s representative will engage the management of the businesses to discuss about operation, product and corporate matters through meetings up to 2-3 times per month;
-
(B) the Group’s representative will be frequently communicating with the management of the businesses via email or phone up to 5-6 times per month; and
-
(C) the Group’s representative will be monitoring the finances of the businesses and assist the businesses in all activities with regards to fundraising including but not limited to drafting business plan, conducting market and technology research, securing meetings with potential investors and negotiating terms with potential investors.
(ii) Semi-Active Role
- (A) the Group’s representative will engage the management of the businesses to discuss about operation, product and corporate matters through meetings up to 1-2 times per every 3 month;
This is a replacement prospectus dated 6 July 2015. It replaces a prospectus dated 30 June 2015, relating to New Shares of Fatfish Internet Group Ltd.
P a g e | 15
-
(B) the Group’s representative will be frequently communicating with the management of the businesses via email or phone up to 3-5 times per every 3 months;

-
(iii) Passive Role
-
(A) the Group will conduct product and marketing review with the businesses once every 6 months; and
-
(B) the Group will assist the business in fund-raising activities by securing meetings with potential investors.
Refer to Section 1.3(c) for further details.
4.3 Additional risks specific to the Group
(a) Ability to Promote the Group’s “Fatfish Brand”
Brand image is a key factor in promoting and marketing technology companies. The Group is committed to building its brand by creating value in technology companies from start-up phase to more developed companies and therefore being presented with more opportunities in Asia and, if relevant, Australia. The Company believes that the Group has been successful in establishing its brand and attracting investee projects in Asia and that the Company's status as an ASX-listed company will continue to enhance the Group’s profile and brand in the Australasia region.
(b) Third Party Control Risk
A large part of the Group’s business involves firstly, continuing the success of the current business operations in Dressabelle and RajaPremi.com, and secondly, identifying, acquiring, managing and investing in technology companies from those in the start-up phase (including Novatap, Peeplepass, VDancer and Kensington), to those that are more developed. The Group’s strategy is to invest through funding and assistance with management and operation mentoring, with the ultimate intention of controlling the business activities of those companies. While the Group gains more comprehensive experience and industry knowledge with such business ventures, the successful operation of those companies will, for at least the initial period, rely on the maintenance of successful management by the initial founders and the expertise, knowledge, and personnel of the Group to grow and penetrate the relevant markets those companies.
The Group may mitigate risks involved in third party management of the companies in which it invests by being able to exercise control through its shareholding, through maintaining good relations with management of those companies or through providing management and expertise for growth of the respective companies.
(c) Commercialisation and Demand Risk
There is a risk that the companies in which the Group will acquire an interest may fail to develop products that meet specific customer requirements.
While the Company will endeavour to ensure that all effort will be given in relation to research and development of the various products developed by the companies in which the Group has an interest to ensure that they have a viable customer base for their current and proposed products, there can be no guarantee that those parties will continue to have
This is a replacement prospectus dated 6 July 2015. It replaces a prospectus dated 30 June 2015, relating to New Shares of Fatfish Internet Group Ltd.
P a g e | 16
a demand for the technology offered. Any decrease in the demand will have a negative effect on the prospects of the Group.
The Group has, at least in part, mitigated the commercialisation risks by investing in multiple product pathways, with multiple technology development partners.
(d) Technology and Intellectual Property
The Group’s success will depend, in part, on the ability of the companies in which it invests to maintain trade secret protection and other protection over their intellectual property and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties or having third parties circumvent those companies’ rights. No guarantee can be given that such protection will be successfully and validly maintained.
The commercial value of the intellectual property assets is dependent on legal protections provided by a combination of copyright, patent, confidentiality, trade mark, trade secrecy laws and other intellectual property rights. These legal mechanisms, however, do not guarantee that the intellectual property will be protected or that its commercial value will be maintained.
The Group intends to continually evaluate the intellectual property in which it will acquire an interest and ensure that steps are undertaken to continually protect its proprietary intellectual property rights and the formal registration of its proprietary intellectual property rights is undertaken as and when appropriate. However, there can be no assurance at any time that:
-
(i) any such rights can be formally established;
-
(ii) the measures taken will be adequate to protect the proprietary technology;
-
(iii) any intellectual property rights will provide it with any competitive advantages and will not be challenged by third parties; and
-
(iv) the rights of others will not materially adversely affect the Group’s ability to do business, its financial condition and the results of its operations (and therefore impact on the future viability and profitability of the Group).
While the Company believes that the Group and the companies in which it has an interest have taken appropriate steps to protect their proprietary rights to date, the law may not adequately protect these rights in all places where the Group does business, or enable the same rights to be defended sufficiently to avoid adverse material impact on operations.
- (e) Competition risk
The industry in which the Company, through the Group, is involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Group will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Group will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Group’s projects and business.
The Group intends to continue to operate in an industry that relies on accurate and innovative products. Technology changes occur rapidly, and there is a risk that the services provided and products to be produced by the Group may become technically inferior to other services and products available in the market.
Additionally, internet businesses have low barriers to entry. Current or new competitors may adopt certain aspects of the Group’s business model without great financial expense, thereby reducing the Group’s ability to differentiate its services. Competition may arise from a number of sources. It may include companies from the traditional retail industry that may have greater capital resources and closer supplier relationships than the Group. Competition may also arise from global e-Commerce companies with developed processes, systems, and technology. Suppliers may also choose to establish their own online sales sites rather than utilising the Group to sell their products and services online.
This is a replacement prospectus dated 6 July 2015. It replaces a prospectus dated 30 June 2015, relating to New Shares of Fatfish Internet Group Ltd.
P a g e | 17
Any significant competition may adversely affect the Group’s ability to meet its business objectives.
Additionally, the development and commercialisation of new technologies that are more cost efficient than the technology in which the Group has an interest or offer greater variety in services and products than those of the Group, could place the Group at a competitive disadvantage.
(f) Sovereign Risk
The Group’s operations will continue to include a focus on markets in South East Asia, including but not limited to Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia. The economic growth in those and other South East Asian nations is expected to continue its upward trend in a stable manner. These economies are driven by strong domestic consumption, stable government regime and long track-records of exports.
Possible sovereign risks associated with operating in South East Asian nations include, without limitation, changes in the terms of legislation, changes to taxation rates and concessions and changes in the ability to enforce legal rights. Any of these factors may, in the future, adversely affect the financial performance of the Group and the market price of the Company's Shares.
No assurance can be given regarding future stability in South East Asia or any other nation in which the Group may, in the future, have an interest.
(g) System and Content Integrity
The performance of the current business operations in Dressabelle and RajaPremi.com will be vitally important to the reputation of the Group’s businesses, its ability to attract customers and its ability to makes sales of products and services. The Group will be dependent on the ability of the products from these companies and other companies in which it has an interest to be sold and operate on technology platforms, devices and operating systems run by telecommunications operators, data centres and other third parties, however influence over these third parties will be limited. The Group will not be in control of the maintenance, upkeep and continued supply of effective service from external suppliers in these areas. Any system failure that causes an interruption to the websites could materially affect its business and financial performance. System failures, if prolonged, could reduce the attractiveness of the websites to visitors and hinder the Group’s ability to make sales to buyers, and would damage its business reputation and brand name in the market place which can be compounded by social media.
Although the Group’s systems have been designed around industry standard architectures, they remain vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures, terrorist attacks, computer viruses or similar events. The Group’s disaster recovery planning cannot account for all eventualities.
(h) Decline on the Growth of Internet Use
Internet use in the current markets of Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia in particular, has been growing. However, there can be no guarantee that this growth will continue in the future. In addition, growth in e-Commerce is underpinned by a range of factors including migration from more traditional forms of retail sales. While increased internet use and a migration of retail sales to digital platforms has occurred over recent years, there can be no guarantee that the rate of growth in internet use and rate of migration will continue in the future, which may have an adverse effect on the expected growth of the Group.
(i) Brand Management and Maintenance
The Company believes that establishing and maintaining its brands in the e-Commerce industry is critical to growing its proposed user base and product acceptance. This will depend largely on the Group’s ability to provide useful and innovative products. The actions of external industry participants and social media may affect the Group’s brands if users do not have a positive experience using the websites and its platforms, devices or
This is a replacement prospectus dated 6 July 2015. It replaces a prospectus dated 30 June 2015, relating to New Shares of Fatfish Internet Group Ltd.
P a g e | 18
operating systems that provide access to the Group’s products and services respectively. If the Group fails to successfully establish and maintain its brands its businesses and operating results could be adversely affected.
(j) Display of Inappropriate Content
The Group will have processes that allow it to monitor and remove inappropriate content placed on the websites, whether deliberately or inadvertently. However, the Group will not have the ability to guarantee that all content displayed on the websites is appropriate at all times. This includes but is not limited to the presentation of photographs accepted by the Group in good faith and under the terms of its supplier contracts. The Group cannot guarantee that such material is not obscene, offensive or otherwise damaging to its business reputation and brand name, or the reputation of any third party.
(k) Reliance on Third Party Payment and Logistics Providers
To complete sales on the Group’s websites, the Group will rely on third party banking, payment and logistic providers. The Group’s influence over these third parties will be limited. Any system or service failure that causes an interruption to the Group’s ability to receive payments or deliver purchased goods to its buyers and effect payment transactions could materially affect its business and financial performance. System or service failures, if prolonged, could reduce the attractiveness of the Group’s services to visitors to the websites and hinder the ability to make sales to buyers, and would damage its business reputation and brand name.
(l) Contractual Risk
In order for the Group to be able to achieve its objectives, the Group will be reliant on third parties with which it will become involved to comply with their contractual obligations.
Where those third parties fail to comply with the terms and conditions of their agreements with the Group, the Group could lose the rights acquired under the relevant agreement(s). It may then be necessary for the Group to approach a court to seek a legal remedy. Legal action can be costly and there can be no guarantee that a legal remedy will be ultimately granted on the appropriate terms. The Group has no current reason to believe that any third party that the Group has contracted with will not meet and satisfy their obligations under any agreement.
4.4 Industry specific risks
(a) Rapidly updating industry
Online industries, including online merchandising and entertainment, can tend to experience rapid evolution from time to time. If the entities in which the Group has interests are not capable of staying current with industry trends, there is a risk that the technology in which the Group will acquire an interest will become outdated and not be capable of being sold or licensed. Although, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, its subsidiaries (wholly owned or otherwise) endeavour to keep pace with the evolution of their industries, there can be no assurance that any significant changes that may occur in online industries, will not have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Group.
In addition, significant outlays may be required where technology is updated that the Group must make use of.
(b) Corruption of Databases
The databases used by entities in which the Group has interests are a valuable asset. They are subject to risks associated with computer viruses, physical or electronic breakins, loss of data from physical damage or from failures in third party service providers or operating systems and similar disruptions, as well as to damage from the inadvertent introduction onto its systems of incorrect programming language by its employees. An irrecoverable loss of any of the databases would be expensive to remedy, would have a

P a g e | 19
material adverse effect on an entity’s operations and financial position, and would damage its business reputation and brands.
(c) New Technology
If the entities in which the Group has interests are significantly slower than their competitors to adapt technological change, it would lead to a reduction in visits to the relevant websites. This could have an adverse effect on the entity’s ability to attract new buyers and retain its existing customer base.
(d) Hacking and Vandalism
The business entities in which the Group will acquire an interest may be adversely affected by malicious third party applications that interfere with, or exploit, security flaws in the websites. Viruses, worms and other malicious software programs could, among other things, jeopardise the security information stored in a user’s computer or in the entity’s computer systems or attempt to change the internet experience of users by interfering with the entity’s ability to connect with its users. If the entity’s efforts to combat these malicious applications are unsuccessful, or if the websites have actual or perceived vulnerabilities, the entity’s business reputation and brand name may be harmed and user traffic could decline, which may result in a material adverse effect on the entity’s operations.
(e) Unauthorised use of intellectual property or independent development of technology
The Group regards substantial elements of the websites, software, tools, applications, buyer databases and underlying technology as proprietary. Despite precautionary measures, third parties may copy or otherwise obtain and use the Group’s proprietary information without authorisation or may develop similar technology independently. In addition, competitors may be able to design around the Group’s technology or develop competing technologies substantially similar to those of the Group without any infringement of the Group’s proprietary rights. Any legal action that the Group may bring to protect its proprietary information could be unsuccessful and expensive and would divert management’s attention from its business operations.
(f) Product Returns
While the Group will generally be under no obligation to acquire products from suppliers, in the event that the product is not sold, the Group will generally be responsible for the cost and liability of any product returns.
(g) Insurance
The Group will maintain insurance where it is considered appropriate for its needs however it will not be insured against all risks either because appropriate cover is not available or because the Directors consider the required premiums to be excessive having regard to the benefits that would accrue.
Accordingly, the Group may not be fully insured against all losses and liabilities that could unintentionally arise from its operations. If the Group incurs uninsured losses or liabilities, the value of the Group’s assets may be at risk.
4.5 Risks associated with the Offer
(a) Value of New Shares
The New Shares are to be quoted on the ASX, where the price may rise or fall relative to the Offer Price. The New Shares issued or sold under this Prospectus carry no guarantee in respect of profitability, dividends, return of capital, or the price at which they may trade on the ASX. The value of the New Shares will be determined by the share market and will be subject to a range of factors, many or all of which may be beyond the control of the Company and the management team.
(b) Liquidity of New Shares
This is a replacement prospectus dated 6 July 2015. It replaces a prospectus dated 30 June 2015, relating to New Shares of Fatfish Internet Group Ltd.
P a g e | 20
Although the New Shares are proposed to be listed on ASX, there can be no guarantee that there will be a liquid market for trading of the New Shares.
4.6 General risk factors
The future operations of the Group may be affected by a range of factors, including the below general risk factors.
(a) Foreign exchange risk
The Group will continue to be exposed to the volatility and fluctuations of the exchange rate between currencies throughout South-East Asia and the Australian dollar.
Global currencies are affected by a number of factors that are beyond the control of the Group. These factors include economic conditions in the relevant country and elsewhere and the outlook for interest rates, inflation and other economic factors. These factors may have a positive or negative effect on the Group's investee companies and their plans and activities together with the ability to fund those plans and activities.
The Group will have costs, expenses and investments denominated in multiple currencies. The Company’s Share price is denominated in Australian dollars. The Company will also report its financial results in Australian dollars. Accordingly, the Company’s reported financial performance will be influenced by fluctuations in exchange rates between the Australian dollar and other currencies in which it may earn income or accrue expenses, which in the first instance will include the Singapore dollar, the Indonesian Rupiah, the Vietnamese Dong, the Thai Baht, the United States Dollars and the Malaysian Ringgit.
(b) Market risk
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted Securities regardless of the Group’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(iii) currency fluctuations;
-
(iv) commodity price fluctuations;
-
(v) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(vi) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(vii) terrorism and other hostilities.
-
(c) Potential Acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Group intends to make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, complementary companies or projects. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making such acquisitions.
(d) Reliance on Key Personnel
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Group 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 Group if one or more of these employees cease their employment. The Group shall continue to seek to secure as many of the key personnel as possible in the current market conditions.
(e) Government Regulations
The Group will be subject to local laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates (including taxation legislation). Future laws or regulations may be introduced
This is a replacement prospectus dated 6 July 2015. It replaces a prospectus dated 30 June 2015, relating to New Shares of Fatfish Internet Group Ltd.
P a g e | 21
concerning various aspects of the internet, including online content, e-Commerce, foreign ownership of interest and media or retail companies, liability for third party activities and user privacy, all of which may impact the Group’s operations.
Changes in or extensions of laws and regulations affecting either the retail industry or internet business operations in the countries in which the Group operates and the rules of industry organisations could restrict or complicate the Group’s activities and significantly increase its compliance costs.
(f) New Acquisitions
The Group may make acquisitions in circumstances where the Directors believe that those acquisitions support the Group’s growth strategy. However, there can be no assurances that the Group will be able to identify, complete and integrate suitable acquisitions successfully. Acquiring new businesses can place significant strain on management, employees, systems and resources. Acquired businesses may not perform in line with expectations and it may not prove possible to achieve the desired synergies on the integration of news businesses.
(g) Additional Requirements for capital
The Group’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Group’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Group may require further financing in the future. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Group is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back marketing and technological development.
4.7 Investment speculative
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Group 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 Group and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus
Therefore, the Securities 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 Securities.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

- (d) Winding up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
(e) Shareholder liability
As the New Shares issued pursuant to the Prospectus will be fully paid Shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f) Transfer of Shares
Generally, Shares are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.
(g) Variation of rights
Pursuant to section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders, vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
(h) Alteration of constitution
The Company's constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

Except as disclosed in this Prospectus, no Director (whether individually or in consequence of that persons association with any company or firm or in any material contract entered into by the Company) has now, or has had, in the 2 year period ending on the date of this Prospectus, any interest in:
-
