RESOLUTION 6 – ADOPTION OF NEW CONSTITUTION

The Company is seeking to adopt a new constitution to take account of recent changes to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.

Since the adoption of the Company’s current constitution in 1998, there have been a number of significant amendments to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, which need to be incorporated into the Company’s constitution. Given the large number of proposed changes which would need to be made throughout the existing constitution, it is more appropriate to adopt a new constitution than to put forward a resolution proposing amendments to the Company’s existing constitution. ASX has reviewed the proposed new constitution and confirmed that it is not inconsistent with the ASX Listing Rules. A copy of the proposed new constitution is available for review by shareholders at the office of the Company. A copy will be available for inspection at the General Meeting.

APPENDIX A

Terms and Conditions of Options

  1. Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for and be allotted one Share, at an exercise price of 4 cents per Share ("Exercise Price") on or before the Expiry Date of 30[th] June 2013.

  2. The Company must, as soon as it is reasonably practicable to do so, allot shares on exercise of the Options in accordance with the Listing Rules and register the holder as a shareholder in the register of members in respect of the Shares so allotted. No Option may be exercised if to do so would contravene the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.

  3. An Option is exercisable by the holder lodging a notice of exercise of option together with, subject to the Options terms, the Exercise Price for each Share to be issued on exercise, at the Company's registered office. The exercise of some Options only does not affect the holders right to exercise other Options at a later time. Remittances must be made payable to the Company and cheques should be crossed "not negotiable".

  4. An Option not exercised by the Expiry Date lapses. There is no obligation to exercise the Options.

  5. The Options are non-transferrable.

  6. The Company must apply to the ASX for official quotation of the Shares issued on any exercise of an Option.

  7. Shares issued on any exercise of an Option will rank pari passu with all existing Shares from the date of issue and will be entitled to each dividend for which the books closing date for determining entitlements falls after the date of issue.

  8. There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and the holder will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered or made to shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 10 business days after the issue is announced. This will give the holder the opportunity to exercise Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  9. There will be no change to the Exercise Price of an Option in the event of the Company making a pro rata issue of Shares or other securities to shareholders (other than a bonus issue).

  10. If there is a bonus issue to shareholders ("Bonus Issue"), the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the Bonus Issue ("Bonus Shares"). The Bonus Shares must be paid up by the Company out of profits or reserves (as the case may be) in the same manner as was applied in the Bonus Issue and upon issue rank equally in all respects with the other Shares on issue as at the date of issue of the Bonus Shares.

  11. The rights of the holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. The Company must give notice to the holder of any adjustment to the number of Shares that the holder is entitled to subscribe for or be issued on exercise of the Option or the exercise price per Share in accordance with the Listing Rules.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

3.

A member entitled to attend and vote at a Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.

Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  • 2 directors of the company;

  • a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  • for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.

Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.
