  • e) are el i gible und e r all appli c able secu r ities laws to receive an offer u n der the Retail Entitleme n t Offer.

Indep e ndence ha s determin e d, pursua n t to 9A of the Act a n d Listing R ule 7.7.1( a ) of the ASX L isting Ru l es, that it would be unreasona b le to mak e offers to shareholders in all count r ies outsid e Australia and New Zealand i n connectio n with the Retail En t itlement Offer. The secu r ities laws o f many co u ntries req u ire the use of offer d o cuments s p ecific to that c o untry or compliance with local l aws for the Retail E n titlement O ffer to be made in those countries. Having re g ard to the number of retail shar e holders in particular c ountries and t h e cost of c ompliance with local laws to m a ke the Re t ail Entitle m ent Offer in those count r ies, Independence has limited th e countries i n which the Retail E nt itlement O ffer will be made. Accor d ing to our records, y o u do not s a tisfy the el i gibility cri t eria for an Eligible Retail Sharehol d er stated a bove. A c cordingly, in compli a nce with ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1( b ), Indepe n dence wi s hes to ad v ise you t h at it will not be e x tending the Retail Entitl e ment Offe r to you a n d you will not be able to subsc r ibe for Ne w Shares u nder the Retail Entitleme n t Offer. You will not be se n t the doc u ments rel a ting to t h e Retail Entitl e ment Offe r or be able to subscribe for New S hares und e r the Retai l Entitleme n t Offer.

Notw i thstanding the above, Independe n ce and B e ll Potter m ay agree t o extend t h e Retail Entitl e ment Off e r to certa i n instituti o nal share h olders w h o did not participat e in the Instit u tional Enti t lement Of f er or to o t her retail s hareholde r s, subject t o complia n ce with applicable laws.

As th e Retail En t itlement O ffer is non - renouncea b le, you w i ll not rece i ve any pa y ment or value for entitle m ents in respect of an y New Shares that wo u ld have be e n offered t o you if you were eligible to particip a te in the R e tail Entitl e ment Offe r .

If yo u have any questions in relation t o any of t h e above m atters, ple a se contact Security Trans f er Registr a rs on +61 8 9315 23 3 3 from 9. 0 0 am to 5. 0 0 pm (Pe r th time) d u ring the Retail Entitleme n t Offer per i od.
