Escrow release conditions |

3.5 Worked example of early release
A worked example of the operation of clause 3.4 is set out below (for illustrative purposes only). If there is any conflict between clause 3.4 and the worked example below, clause 3.4 prevails.
If:

- (b) the Company VWAP in the 10 consecutive trading days following announcement of the Company's 1H FY2017 financial results and announcement pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 3.1 OA (which would include the date of announcement), exceeds the Offer Price by more than 20%,

- (b) (equal buy-backs and capital returns) to allow the Holder to participate in an equal access share buyback or an equal capital return or other similar pro-rata reorganisation; or
