  • $(5)$ The person's votes divided by the total votes in the body corporate or scheme multiplied by 100.
  • $(6)$ Include details of:
  • any relevant agreement or other circumstances because of which the change in relevant interest occurred.

Details must be included even if the benefit is conditional on the happening or not of a contingency. Details must be included on any benefit paid on behalf of the substantial holder or its associate in relation to the acquisitions, even if they are not paid directly to the person from whom the relevant interest was acquired.
