6 Participation in New Issues of Shares

  • (a) The Company must notify the Warrant Holders of any new pro rata issue (including pro rata issues of shares or securities in a corporation other than the Company) at least ten Business Days before the record date for that proposed issue.
  • (b) In the case of a placement of Shares, provided the Warrant Holder has provided an Exercise Notice to the Company on the day of announcement of the placement to ASX, the Company shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that:
  • (i) the Relevant Shares are issued at the same time as the Shares are issued pursuant to the placement; and
  • (ii) the Cleansing Notice lodged with ASX in relation to the Shares issued under the Placement also extends to the Relevant Shares.
  • (c) A Warrant Holder does not have a right to participate in new issues without exercising the Warrant.

7 Adjustments

  • (a) In the event of any reorganisation of capital of the Company, all rights of a Warrant Holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules at the time of the re-organisation.
  • (b) The Warrants will not give any right to participate in Dividends until Relevant Shares are allotted pursuant to the exercise of the relevant Warrants. The Company will provide 15 Business Days' notice to the Warrant Holders prior to the record date for the relevant Dividend to allow the Warrant Holders (should they elect to do so), to exercise their Warrants pursuant to section 3.1 and to be issued Shares prior to the record date for the relevant Dividend so that they may receive the relevant Dividend.
  • (c) In the event that a pro rata issue (except a Bonus Issue) is made to Shareholders, the Warrant Exercise Price will be reduced according to the following formula as amended in accordance with the Listing Rules from time to time (provided that if the application of the formula results in a number that is less than zero, the Warrant Exercise Price will be reduced to zero):

O' = O-
$$
\frac{E[P-(S+D)]}{N+1}
$$

where:

O' = the new Warrant Exercise Price.

O = the old Warrant Exercise Price.

  • E = the number of underlying Shares into which one Warrant is exercisable.
  • P = the volume weighted average market price per Share of the Shares in the Company calculated over the five Trading Days

ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.

  • S = the subscription price for a Share under the pro rata issue.
  • D = the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing Shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue).
  • N = the number of Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new Share.
  • (d) The number of Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Warrants will be adjusted for Bonus Issues made prior to exercise of Warrants. The number of Shares the subject of the Warrants will be increased so that upon exercise of the Warrants the number of Shares issued to a Warrant Holder will include the number of bonus Shares that would have been issued if the Warrants had been exercised and Shares allotted prior to the record date for the Bonus Issue. The Warrant Exercise Price shall not change as a result of any such Bonus Issue.
  • (e) The Company must notify each Warrant Holder and ASX within one month after the record date for a pro-rata or Bonus Issue of the adjustment to the number of Shares over which a Warrant exists and/or the adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Price.
  • (f) Except as provided in clauses 7(c) and 7(d), an issue of Shares or other securities by the Company will not change either the number of Shares underlying the Warrants or the Warrant Exercise Price.

8 Fractions of Shares

No fractions of a Share will be issued on the exercise of any Warrant and no refund will be made to a Warrant Holder exercising their rights in respect of that part of the subscription moneys which represent such a fraction (if any), provided that if more than one Warrant is exercised at the same time by the same Warrant Holder then, for the purposes of determining the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants and whether (and, if so, what) fraction of Shares arises, the number of Shares arising on the exercise of each Warrant is to first be aggregated.

9 Resolution of Disputes on Adjustments

9.1 Adjustment Disputes

This clause 9 applies to any disputes between a Warrant Holder and the Company in relation to:

  • (a) the content or form of an Exercise Notice served by a Warrant Holder under clause 3;
  • (b) any adjustment contemplated by clause 7; or
  • (c) the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of Warrants under clause 8,

(for the purposes of this clause 9, an Adjustment Dispute).

9.2 Reference to Expert

If an Adjustment Dispute has not been resolved within ten Business Days of it arising, either the Company or the Warrant Holder may, by notice in writing to the other party, require the Adjustment Dispute to be referred to an Expert for resolution.

9.3 Expert's instructions

The Expert must be instructed to:

(a) decide the Adjustment Dispute within the shortest practicable time; and

(b) deliver a report containing the Expert's opinion with respect to the matters in dispute in the Adjustment Dispute and clearly stating the reasons for the decision.

9.4 Procedure
