$3.4$ Early release
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this document, during the Escrow Period, the Holder may Deal with the number of Escrow Shares indicated below on the basis of the following Escrow release conditions (and subject to compliance with ASX notification requirements):
| Escrow Shares to be released from escrow prior to the Escrow Period |
Escrow release conditions |
|---|---|
| 25% of the Escrow Shares | After 4:15pm (Sydney time) on the first date on which both the conditions below have been satisfied: |
| the Company's 1H FY2017 (a) financial results are announced to the ASX; and |
|
| the Company VWAP in any (b) 10 consecutive trading days following announcement of those financial results exceeds the Offer Price by more than 20% (disregarding, for the purpose of ascertaining this 10 trading day period, any trading days during which the Company's Shares are in trading halt for the entirety of that day). For the avoidance of doubt. if the Company's 1H FY2017 financial results are announced to the ASX prior to close of trading on a given trading day (or prior to market open that day). then that day of announcement may be included as one of the 10 consecutive trading days. |
