2.2 Listing Rules Chapter 7

Listing Rule 7.1 provides, subject to certain exceptions, that Shareholder approval is required for any issue of securities by a listed company, where the securities proposed to be issued represent more than 15% of the company’s ordinary securities then on issue (in the case of Listing Rule 7.1) and 10% of the company’s ordinary securities then on issue (in the case of Listing Rule 7.1A)

Listing Rule 7.2 sets out the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

3. RESOLUTIONS 5 & 6 – ISSUE OF SECURITIES TO DIRECTORS

3.1 Background

In addition to the Shares and Attaching Options the subject of Resolutions 1 and 2, it is proposed that Messrs Russell Davis and Alexander Hewlett will participate in a placement on the same terms and conditions as the other subscribers under the Placement summarised in Section 1.1.

Because Directors are related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.11 is required before any Shares or Attaching Options can be issued to the Directors.

3.2 Listing Rules Chapter 10

Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party.

Furthermore, Shareholder approval of the issue of securities to Directors under Listing Rule 10.11 means that the issue of securities to the Directors will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Directors consider that participation in the Director Placement will be on arms’ length terms as the placement to the Directors will be made on the same terms to all other parties who participate in the Placement (as summarised in Section 1.1), regardless of whether they are associated with the Company or not. Accordingly, the proposed participation by the Directors in the Director Placement falls within the “arm’s length terms” exemption provided by Section 210 of the Corporations Act to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

3.3 Information Required by Listing Rule 10.13 – Resolution 5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of securities the subject of Resolution 5:
