The fact that ASX may grant official quotation to the New Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Options now offered for subscription.

4.15 Overseas Shareholders

Shareholders resident outside Australia should consult their professional advisers as to whether any governmental or other consents are required, or other formalities need to be observed to enable them to accept or deal with their entitlements.

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer in any place in which or to any person whom it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

The Company will not be issuing option certificates. The Company will apply to ASX to participate in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the subregisters are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of New Options allotted to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number ( HIN ) and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders in circumstances in which there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.
