(a) the new date for giving notice of the status of the conditions to the Offer, as required by subsection 630(1) of the Act, is 20 April 2017 (subject to any further extension in accordance with section 630(2) of the Act if the Offer is extended); and
-
(b) as at the date of this notice, the Offer remains subject to all defeating conditions set out in section 9 of Annexure A of the Bidder’s Statement.
Right of Withdrawal

-
(ii) be in the form of a notice in writing to Torian setting out the information that Torian requires to transmit a Valid Originating Message to ASX Settlement on behalf of the Cascade shareholder in accordance with Rule 14.16.5 of the ASX Settlement Operating Rules; and
-
(b) in any other case, be in writing to Torian care of Advanced Share Registry Services at:

-
(a) return to the Cascade shareholder any documents that were sent by the Cascade shareholder to Torian with the acceptance of the Offers; and
-
(b) if the shares are in a CHESS Holding, Transmit to ASX Settlement a Valid Message that authorises the release of those shares from the Offer Accepted Subposition in which the CHESS Holding has been reserved in accordance with Rule 14.16.3 or Rule 14.16.5 of the ASX Settlement Operating Rules as applicable.
