The Corporate Law Economic Reform Programme (Audit Reform and Corporate Disclosure Act 2004 (Cth)) (CLERP 9) requires that a resolution be put to the members to adopt the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Directors’ Report.

Resolution 3 Election of Director – Dr Russell John Fountain

Dr Russell John Fountain was appointed as a Director of the Company on 22 May 2008. Under the Company’s Constitution, Dr Fountain retires by rotation, and being eligible, wishes to stand for reelection.

Resolution 4 Approval of issue of shares to directors to take up shortfall of rights issue.

This resolution refers to the issue of 544,834 ordinary shares to Mr Charlie Bass and Mr Tim Biggs or their associates at 60 cents per share to take up the shortfall of the July 2010 SPP.

On 5 July 2010, the company announced a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to raise up to $1,500,000 by the issue of up to 2,500,000 shares at an issue price of $0.60 per share.

Messrs. Charlie Bass and Tim Biggs entered into an underwriting agreement with the company to subscribe for sufficient shares to enable the company to raise $500,000 in the event that the SPP did not reach that amount.

288,500 shares were issued pursuant to the SPP at 60 cents per share leaving a shortfall of $326,900 or 544,834 shares.

The shares to be allotted will rank equally in all respects with the company’s existing fully paid ordinary shares.
