-
(c) The shares will be issued at a minimum issue price that is the higher of $0.70 per share or a price that is at least 80% of the average market price for the Company’s quoted shares, as calculated over the 5 trading days on which sales in the securities were recorded before the day on which the issue is to be made;
-
(d) The shares are proposed to be issued to professional and/or sophisticated investors who satisfy either one of the definitions contained in sections 708(8), 708(10) or 708(11) of the Corporations Act 2001. No shares are to be issued to any related party of the Company. The participants are not yet known;
-
(e) The Shares will rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue; and
