paragraph (a), the date on which the securities are issued.
Risk of economic and

holders of the Company’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under Listing
Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.

be issued, including
whether the Company
may issue them for
non-cash

(c) regulatory approvals;
(d) intellectual property portfolio costs; and

expenses, and ASX fees.

conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. The
identity of the allottees will be determined on a case-by-case basis having
regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

the date of this Notice of Meeting but may include existing substantial
Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates
of a related party of the Company. Further, if the Company is successful in its

company or companies.

*Note: Current Variable A refers to the calculation required by Listing Rule 7.1A.2, which equates to the current issued share capital of the Company (as at 30 September 2013).

  • 33 The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (a) The Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the 10% Listing Rule 7.1A approval.

  • (b) No options are exercised to convert into Shares before the date of the issue of the Shares available under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • (c) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (d) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of share issue under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

  • (e) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (f) The issue of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A consists only of Shares.

  • (g) The issue price is $0.065, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 27 September 2013.

Directors’ recommendation

  • 34 The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution.
