2974-06/1998214_16

  • (b) if you wish to accept your full Entitlement and apply for Shares under the Shortfall Offer :

  • (i) complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and

  • (ii) fill in the number of Shares you wish to apply for under the Shortfall Offer in the space provided on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and

  • (i) fill in the number of Shares you wish to accept in the space provided on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and

Your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and cheque must reach the Company’s share registry no later than 5:00 pm WST on the Closing Date.

4.6 Payment by BPAY®

For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:

  • (a) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and

  • (b) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your application monies.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the share registry by no later than 4:00 pm (WST) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.

No interest will be paid on any application monies received or refunded.

6

2974-06/1998214_16

The Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, a Shareholder may not sell or transfer all or part of their Entitlement.

4.7 Effect on control of the Company

Underwriter

The Underwriter is not presently a shareholder of the Company, the extent to which Shares are issued pursuant to the underwriting will therefore increase the Underwriter’s voting power in the Company. The Underwriter is not a related party of the Company for the purpose of the Corporations Act.

----- End of picture text -----

The number of Shares held by the Underwriter and its voting power in the table above show the potential effect of the underwriting of the Offer. However, it is unlikely that no Shareholders will take up entitlements under the Offer. The underwriting obligation and therefore voting power of the Underwriter will reduce by a corresponding amount for the amount of entitlements under the Offer taken up by the other Shareholders and will also be mitigated by the Shortfall Offer detailed in Section 4.8 and the dispersion strategy detailed in Section 4.9.

In addition, the Underwriter has entered into a sub-underwriting agreement with

Bi Hua HUANG ( Sub-Underwriter ) for 100% of the Underwritten Amount.

Sub-Underwriter

As disclosed above, the Underwriter has entered into a sub-underwriting agreement with Bi Hua HUANG pursuant to which Bi Hua HUANG has agreed to sub-underwrite 28,798,422 Shares. The Underwriter will pay Bi Hua HUANG a fixed sub-underwriting fee of HKD$3,600 for its sub-underwriting.

Bi Hua HUANG is currently a Shareholder of the Company and holds 1,972,495 Shares. Bi Hua HUANG resides in China and has over 10 years of commercial and business experience.

Bi Hua HUANG’s present relevant interest and changes under several scenarios are set out in the table below and are based on the assumption that Bi Hua HUANG takes up her full entitlement of 1,314,997 Shares under each scenario.

The number of Shares held by the Sub-Underwriter and her voting power in the table above show the potential effect of the sub-underwriting of the Offer. However, it is unlikely that no Shareholders, other than the Sub-Underwriter, will take up entitlements under the Offer. The sub-underwriting obligation and therefore voting power of the Sub-Underwriter will reduce by a corresponding amount for the amount of entitlements under the Offer taken up by the other Shareholders and will also be mitigated by the Shortfall Offer detailed in Section 4.8 and the dispersion strategy detailed in Section 4.9.

CIS Securities Asset Management Limited ( CIS ) was engaged as the underwriter to the Offer following consideration by the Board of a number of underwriting options. The Board resolved to engage CIS as the Underwriter due to factors including CIS having successfully acted as broker to the Company’s recent placements. Investors introduced by CIS have continued to act supportively and CIS was granted maximum flexibility and discretion by the Company with regard to their sub-underwriting arrangements. In this case, given the relatively small quantum of the funding being underwritten, CIS has secured a 100% subunderwriting commitment from a single investor, being also an existing shareholder.

CIS Securities Asset Management Limited was founded in 2007 which offers trading services for securities, futures and options. CIS is registered in The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong as an Exchange Participant and licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.

Intentions of the Underwriter and Sub-Underwriter

Should CIS Securities Asset Management Limited acquire a controlling shareholding in the Company by virtue of underwriting the Offer, the Underwriter has no present intention of making any significant changes to the business of the Company, to inject further capital into the Company or make changes regarding the future employment of the present employees of the Company. The Underwriter does not intend to redeploy any fixed assets of the Company, to transfer any property between the Company and themselves; and has no intention to change the Company’s existing policies in relation to financial matters or dividends. These intentions are based on information concerning the Company, its business and the business environment which is known to the Underwriter at the date of this Prospectus.

Should Bi Hua HUANG acquire a controlling shareholding in the Company by virtue of sub-underwriting the Offer, Bi Hua HUANG has no present intention of making any significant changes to the business of the Company, to inject further capital into the Company or make changes regarding the future employment of the present employees of the Company. The Sub-Underwriter does not intend to redeploy any fixed assets of the Company, to transfer any property between the Company and themselves; and has no intention to change the Company’s existing policies in relation to financial matters or dividends. These intentions are

based on information concerning the Company, its business and the business environment which is known to the Sub-Underwriter at the date of this Prospectus.

Dilution

In addition, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 40% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders is set out in the table below:

Notes:

  1. Assumes the Offer is fully subscribed.

  2. The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted are placed under the Shortfall Offer. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall was not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.

4.8 Shortfall Offer

Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Offer will form the Shortfall Offer. The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date.

Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shares under the Shortfall Offer ( Shortfall Shares ) subject to such applications being received by the Closing Date. The issue price for each Shortfall Share shall be $0.022 being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Offer.

Allocation of the Shortfall Shares will be at the discretion of the Board in conjunction with the Underwriter and will otherwise be subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement as detailed in Section 8.5 below. The Shortfall Shares, if allocated, will be allocated among applying Eligible Shareholders in accordance with their proportionate shareholding in the Company.

The Company notes that no Shares will be issued to an applicant under this Prospectus or via the Shortfall Offer if the issue of Shares would contravene the takeover prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act. Similarly, no Shares will be issued via the Shortfall Offer to any related parties of the Company.

4.9 Underwriting and Sub-Underwriting – Dispersion Strategy

The Offer is fully underwritten by CIS Securities Asset Management Limited. Refer to Section 8.5 for a summary of the terms of the underwriting.

9

2974-06/1998214_16

The Underwriter has entered into a sub-underwriting agreement in respect of 100% of the Offer with the Sub-Underwriter. Further information about the underwriting and the control effects of the Offer underwriting arrangements are set out in Section 4.7. Any Shortfall Shares will be allocated as follows:

  • (a) Shortfall Shares may be subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders subject to such applications being received prior to the Closing Date. The allocation of the Shortfall Shares will be at the discretion of the Board and the Underwriter. The Board and the Underwriter do not intend to refuse an application for Shortfall Shares from Eligible Shareholders other than in circumstances of oversubscription or where acceptance may result in a breach of the Corporations Act or where the Board, acting in good faith, determines that such an allocation would not be in the interests of all Shareholders. The Shortfall Shares will be allocated among applying Eligible Shareholders in accordance with their proportionate shareholdings in the Company.

  • (b) In the event that there are any Shortfall Shares remaining after the allocation referred to in paragraph (a) above, any remaining Shortfall Shares will be allocated to CIS Securities Asset Management Limited and the Sub-Underwriter.

The Company has agreed to pay the Underwriter in respect of the Offer an underwriting fee of 1.3% of the underwritten amount (which equates to $8,236).

4.10 ASX listing

If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any Shares and will repay all application monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

Pending the issue of the Shares or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.

6. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SHARES

6.1 Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to Shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

(a) General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:

  • (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c) Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of

17

2974-06/1998214_16

the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

(d) Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

(e) Shareholder liability

As the Shares issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(f) Transfer of shares

Generally, shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

(g) Future increase in capital

The issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of Shares contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.

(h) Variation of rights

Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to shares.

18

2974-06/1998214_16

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

(i) Alteration of constitution

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

7. RISK FACTORS

7.1 Introduction

The Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

7.2 Company specific

(a) Potential for significant dilution

Upon implementation of the Offer, assuming all Entitlements are accepted, and no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 43,197,632 currently on issue to 71,996,054. This means that each Share will represent a significantly lower proportion of the ownership of the Company.

It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company or a Share will be following the completion of the Offer being implemented and the Directors do not make any representation as to such matters.

The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the prospectus being lodged of $0.024 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares after implementation of the Offer.

(b) Material uncertainty related to going concern

In the Annual Report to shareholders lodged with ASX on 31 July 2018, the independent auditor’s report contained a “material uncertainty related to going concern” statement. The relevant section of the independent auditor’s report states the following:

We draw attention to Note 1(a) in the financial report, which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

In Note1(a) of the financial report it is stated that:

The Board considers that the Company is a going concern and recognises that additional funding is required to ensure that the Company can continue to fund the consolidated entity’s operations and further develop projects during the twelve month period from the date of this financial report .

20

2974-06/1998214_16

Notwithstanding the material uncertainty related to going concern included in the independent auditor’s report issued to the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2018, the Directors believe that upon the successful completion of the Offer, the Company will have sufficient funds to adequately meet the Company’s current expenditure commitments and short-term working capital requirements. However, it is highly likely that further funding will be required to meet the medium to long term working capital costs of the Company. Please refer to Section 7.2(c) below for further details.

(c)

Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer.

Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.

If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

The Directors recognise that the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to secure additional funding through equity, successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Company’s tenements and/or sale of its non-core assets. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements.

(d)

Exploration costs

The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability.

(e)

Joint Venture Risk

The Company acquired an 80% joint venture ( JV ) interest in a coalmine gas project in the Heilongjiang province of the People’s Republic of China ( PRC ). The JV is in cooperation with a large with a Chinese State Owned Enterprise coal miner. The Company has drilled three wells in the first of four JV areas. Under the JV agreement, the Company has rights to up to four other coal bed methane areas in the Heilongjiang Province in PRC.

21

2974-06/1998214_16

The Company is subject to the risk that changes in the status of this JV (including changes caused by financial failure or default by a participant in the JV) may adversely affect the operations and performance of the Company.

(f)

Contractual Risk

On 11 September 2018, the Company announced it had signed a nonbinding Memorandum of Understanding ( MoU ) in relation to the potential acquisition of Guangzhou Bofu Investment Co. Ltd ( GBIC ) , which intends to acquire an 80% interest in Songyuan Petroleum Development Co. Ltd ( SPDC ), which in turn has the right to derive income from the development of 4 oil blocks in Songyuan City, Jilin Province in the PRC. The terms of the MoU provide for an initial period of approximately 6 months (unless extended) and contemplates that the parties will negotiate a transaction whereby Triple indirectly or directly acquires GBIC, thereby obtaining the right to derive income from the abovementioned oil blocks.

MoUs of the type entered into are commonly used within the PRC as a pre-cursor to more formal documentation, however there can be no guarantee that a binding agreement on acceptable terms will be able to be negotiated. Any transaction is expected to be subject to completion of due diligence, commercial negotiation, Triple shareholder and / or regulatory approval (including consultation with ASX when the expected terms are determined).

(g)

Operating in China

The Company undertakes natural resources exploration activities in China and is therefore subject to China’s environmental land monitoring requirements and regulations in respect of these activities.

Possible sovereign risks associated with operating in China include, without limitation, changes in the terms of exploration, environmental and mining legislation, changes to royalty arrangements, changes to taxation rates and concessions and changes in the ability to enforce legal rights. Any of these factors may, in the future, adversely affect the financial performance of the Company and the market price of its shares.

No assurance can be given regarding future stability in China or any other country in which the Company may, in the future, have an interest.

7.3 Industry specific

(a) Exploration and Development Success

Exploration is a high-risk activity that requires large amounts of expenditure over extended periods of time. There can be no guarantee that planned exploration and evaluation programs will lead to positive exploration and evaluation results and the delineation of a commercial deposit or further, a commercial uranium mining operation.

The future exploration activities of the Company may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, changing

22

2974-06/1998214_16

government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.

The success of the Company will also depend upon the Company having access to sufficient development capital, being able to maintain title to its mining tenements, and obtaining all required approvals for its activities. In the event that exploration programs prove to be unsuccessful this could lead to a diminution in the value of its mining tenements, a reduction in the potential size of the uranium deposits of the Company and possible relinquishment of its mining tenements.

(b)

Operating risks

The current and future operations of the Company, including exploration, appraisal and possible production activities may be affected by a range of factors, including:

  • (i) adverse geological conditions;

  • (ii) limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns and cyclone activity;

  • (iii) unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in geophysical surveys, drilling and production activities;

  • (iv) mechanical failure of operating plant and equipment;

  • (v) industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and other force majeure events;

  • (vi) unavailability of aircraft or drilling equipment to undertake airborne electromagnetic and other geological and geophysical investigations;

  • (vii) unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of labour, consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment; and

  • (viii) inability to obtain necessary consents or approvals.

7.4 General risks

(a) Economic

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

(b)

Market conditions

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (i) general economic outlook;

  • (ii) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;

23

2974-06/1998214_16

  • (iii) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • (v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • (vi) terrorism or other hostilities.

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

(c)

Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

  • (d)

Dividends

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.]

(e)

Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus.

(f)

Reliance on key personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment.

24

2974-06/1998214_16

7.5 Speculative investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus

Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

25

2974-06/1998214_16

8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

8.1 Litigation

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

8.2 Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.

This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms a “transaction specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:

  • (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

  • (b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and

  • (c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

Remuneration

The remuneration of an executive Director is decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process. The total maximum remuneration of non-executive Directors is initially set by the Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each

non-executive Director. The current amount has been set at an amount not to exceed $250,000 per annum.

A Director may be paid fees or other amounts (i.e. non-cash performance incentives such as Options, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval) as the other Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. In addition, Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.

The following table shows the total (and proposed) annual remuneration paid to both executive and non-executive directors.

8.10 Electronic prospectus

If you have received this Prospectus as an electronic Prospectus, please ensure that you have received the entire Prospectus accompanied by the Application Forms. If you have not, please phone the Company on +61 8 9382 2322 and the Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of the Prospectus, or both. Alternatively, you may obtain a copy of this Prospectus from the Company’s website at http://www.tripleenergy.net/.

The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.

8.11 Financial forecasts

The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.

8.12 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company will not be issuing share or option certificates. The Company is a participant in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Shares issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

35

2974-06/1998214_16

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

8.13 Privacy Act

If you complete an application for Shares, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or by the Company’s share registry). The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a holder of equity securities in the Company, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder and carry out administration.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company’s share registry.

You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company or its share registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for Shares, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.
