How to vote
Shareholders can vote by either:
-
attending the Meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate Shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or
-
appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the Proxy Form accompanying this Notice and by submitting their proxy appointment and voting instructions in person, by post, by facsimile or online.
Voting in person (or by attorney)
Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and attendance recorded. Attorneys should bring with them an original or certified copy of the Power of Attorney under which they have been authorised to attend and vote at the meeting.
Voting by a corporation
A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.
Voting by proxy
-
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.
-
The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).
-
A proxy need not be a Shareholder.
-
The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.
-
If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit. Should any resolution, other than those specified in this Notice, be proposed at the Meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolution as they think fit.
-
If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.
-
Shareholders who return their Proxy Forms with a direction how to vote, but do not nominate the identity of their proxy, will be taken to have appointed the Chairman as their proxy to vote on
their behalf. If a Proxy Form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the Meeting, the Chairman will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions. Proxy appointments in favour of the Chairman, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction as to how to vote will be used, where possible, to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions. These rules are explained in this Notice.
-
To be effective, proxies must be received by 3pm (WST) on 25 January 2016. Proxies received after this time will be invalid.
-
Proxies may be lodged using any of the following methods:
-
by returning a completed Proxy Form in person to: Automic Registry Services Suite 1A, Level 1, 7 Ventnor Avenue,
West Perth, WA 6005
-
by post using the pre-addressed envelope provided with this Notice to: PO Box 223, West Perth WA 6872
-
by faxing a completed Proxy Form to + 61 8 9321 2337

-
Enter your postcode if your holding has a registered address in Australia or your country if it is registered overseas;
-
Click the “Login” button; and
-

The Proxy Form must be signed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder's attorney. Proxies given by corporations must be executed in accordance with the Corporations Act. Where the appointment of a proxy is signed by the appointer's attorney, a certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the power itself, must be received by the Company at the above address, or by facsimile, and by 3pm on 25 January 2016. If facsimile transmission is used, the Power of Attorney must be certified.

As detailed above, under Tranche 2 of the Placement, the Company proposes to issue an additional 202,840 Shares at an issue price of $0.493 per Share together with 273,834 free attaching warrants to various directors and officers of the Company.
6
Resolutions 3,4, 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of up to:
-
(a) 70,994 Shares and 95,842 Warrants to Stewart Washer, or his nominee(s);
-
(b) 40,568 Shares and 54,767 Warrants to Lars Lidgren, or his nominee(s);
-
(c) 10,142 Shares and 13,692 Warrants to Paul Anderson, or his nominee(s); and
-
(d) 40,568 Shares and 54,767 Warrants to Qixiao Zhou, or his nominee(s),
arising from their proposed participation in Tranche 2 of the Placement. Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue 40,568 Shares and 54,766 Warrants to officers of the Company.
3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.
Messrs Washer, Lidgren, Anderson and Zhou are all Directors of the Company and therefore related parties of the Company. The proposed issue of Shares and Warrants to them arising from their participation in the Placement constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to them which requires Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act unless a relevant exception applies.
Section 210 of the Corporations Act broadly provides that Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E is not required where the financial benefit provided by the public company to the related party is on arm’s length terms (or worse for the related party).
The Directors have resolved (in the absence of Mr Washer in respect of his proposed participation in the Placement and the absence of Mr Lidgren in respect of his proposed participation in the Placement and the absence of Mr Anderson in respect of his proposed participation in the Placement and in the absence of Mr Zhou in respect of his proposed participation in the Placement) that the arm’s length exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies to the proposed participation of Messrs Washer, Lidgren, Anderson and Zhou in the Placement as they will be participating in the Placement on exactly the same terms as un-related parties save for the requirement to obtain Shareholder approval.
Accordingly, Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the participation of Messrs Washer, Lidgren, Anderson and Zhou is not required.
3.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that shareholder approval is required for an entity to issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party.
Resolutions 3, 4, 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and for all other purposes for Messrs Washer, Lidgren, Anderson and Zhou (or their nominees) to participate in the Placement up to the extent set out above.
3.4 Impact of Resolutions 3, 4, 5 and 6
The impact of passing Resolutions 3,4,5 and 6 on the Directors’ voting power in the Company, (assuming each receives the number of Shares and Warrants noted at section 3.1 above) is set out in the following table:

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f), if applicable), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the " Exercise Notice "), of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) receipt by the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the " Aggregate Exercise Price ") in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) if the provisions of Section 1(d) are applicable, by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or email an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company's transfer agent (the " Transfer Agent "). On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, so long as the Holder has delivered the Aggregate Exercise Price or notice of a Cashless Exercise) on or prior to the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (the " Share Delivery Date ") (provided that if the Aggregate Exercise Price has not been
12
delivered by such date, the Share Delivery Date shall be one (1) Trading Day after the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) is delivered), the Company shall, subject to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, issue and allot the Warrant Shares to the Holder, in accordance with the CHESS Rules, to the Holder's custodian's nominated CHESS account and, subject to the below provision for a later prospectus, issue a Cleansing Statement to the ASX Company Announcements Platform. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance and allotment of the Warrant Shares to the Holder's custodian's nominated CHESS account, in accordance with the CHESS Rules, if any. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, if at such time (a) the Ordinary Shares, either directly or through an American depositary receipt program sponsored by the Company, become listed on an Eligible Market that is located in the United States, and (b) the Company has received a valid notice of exercise in respect of some or all of the Warrant Shares; the Holder, directly or through its custodian, shall be deemed, for the purposes of Regulation SHO under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to have become the holder of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are issued and allotted to the Holder's custodian's nominated CHESS account. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. If required, the Company shall pay any and all stamp, transfer or similar taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. Subject to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, the Company's obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination. If the Company does not issue a Cleansing Statement, or that Cleansing Statement for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for issue of the Warrant Shares does not require disclosure to investors (as defined in the Corporations Act), the Company must within seven (7) days of the issue of the Warrant Shares lodge with Australian Securities and Investments Commission a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act and the Subscriber will not resell such Warrant Shares until the prospectus is lodged.
(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, " Exercise Price " means
$A0.58, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c) Company's Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue and allot to the Holder's custodian's nominated CHESS account on or prior to the Share Delivery Date.
such number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exercise of this Warrant (an " Exercise Failure "), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Exercise Failure an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which
13
the Holder is entitled, and (B) any trading price of the Ordinary Shares selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Exercise Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise.
(d) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Ordinary Shares, either directly or through an American depositary receipt program sponsored by the Company become listed on an Eligible Market that is located in the United States (the date of such listing, the “ Listing Date ” ) and if after the date that is six (6) months after the Listing Date, a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “ Unavailable Shares ”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the "Net Number" of Ordinary Shares determined according to the following formula (a " Cashless Exercise "):
Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C) D
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
-
A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
-
B= the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Ordinary Shares for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
-
C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
-
D= the last Closing Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares at the time of delivery of the Exercise Notice.
Solely for purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date hereof, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Share Subscription Agreement. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 1(d).
(e) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 11.
14
(f) Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Ordinary Shares become registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the " Maximum Percentage ") of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including the other Subscription Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f). For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding (the " Reported Outstanding Share Number "). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding Ordinary Shares is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, (i) the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding, (ii) to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder's beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the " Reduction Shares ") and (iii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Ordinary Shares to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder's and the other Attribution Parties' aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the " Excess Shares ") shall be deemed null and void and shall, subject to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, be cancelled ab initio (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Holder consents to any cancellation or buyback), and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares.
15
Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Subscription Warrants that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
(g) Authorized Shares. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it will not take any steps or actions to amend its constituent documents to decrease its ability to issue the maximum number of shares contemplated to be issued pursuant to this Warrant.
(h) No Quotation. The Company does not intend to seek quotation of this
Warrant on the Principal Market.
(i) ADSs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Ordinary Shares are at any time represented by American depositary shares pursuant to an American depositary receipt program sponsored by the Company (" ADSs "), the Holder may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to exercise this Warrant for either Ordinary Shares or ADSs at any time and from time to time when this Warrant is exercisable. One election by the Holder shall not limit the Holder's election for any subsequent exercises.
(j) Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into any definitive agreement implementing a Fundamental Transaction unless it is a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction that the Successor Entity or Successor Entities agree to pay the Holder, at the request of the Holder delivered before the ninetieth (90th) day after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in consideration of the transfer or cancellation of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, within five (5) Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the day the consideration is paid to Company ordinary shareholders in respect of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the following:
Section 2(a) and (c) apply unless and until the Company is removed from the Official List of the ASX and the Ordinary Shares, either directly or through an American depositary receipt program sponsored by the Company become listed on an Eligible Market that is located in the United States; then on and from the Listing Date Section 2(a) and (c) cease to apply or have any effect and Section 2A(a) in the Annexure applies in place of them.
16
Section 2(b) applies unless and until the Company is removed from the Official List of the ASX; then on and from that date Section 2(b) ceases to apply or have any effect and Section 2A(b) in the Annexure applies in place of it.
- ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Adjustment. Other than as set out in this Warrant or the ASX Listing Rules (while the Company is on the Official List of ASX), this Warrant does not confer the right to a change in the Exercise Price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which this Warrant can be exercised.
(b) Adjustment Upon Subdivision or Combination of Ordinary Shares. In the event of any re-organisation (including reconstruction, consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return of capital) of issued capital of the Company, this Warrant will be re-organised as required by the ASX Listing Rules, but in all other respects the terms of exercise will remain unchanged.
(c) No Participating Rights or Entitlements. There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in this Warrant and Holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered during the currency of this Warrant, except upon exercise of this Warrant.
3. PRO RATA ISSUES AND BONUS ISSUES.
(a) If there is a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue) to the holders of Ordinary Shares, the Exercise Price of this Warrant may be reduced according to the following formula:
==> picture [94 x 23] intentionally omitted <==
- O’= the new Exercise Price of this Warrant.
O =
-
the old Exercise Price of this Warrant.
-
E = the number of Ordinary Shares into which one Warrant is exercisable.
-
Note: E is one unless the number has changed because of a bonus issue.
-
P = the volume weighted average market price per security of the Ordinary Shares, calculated over the 5 Trading Days ending on the day before the ex-rights date or ex-entitlements
date.
S = the subscription price for a security under the pro rata issue.
D = the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing Ordinary Shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue).
N = the number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new security.
(b) If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Ordinary Shares, the number of securities over which this Warrant is exercisable may be increased by the number of securities
17
which the holder of this Warrant would have received if this Warrant had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.
-
NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its constitution, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.
-
WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A SHAREHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed to be a shareholder of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (other than upon exercise of this Warrant) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the shareholders, unless and to the extent such notices and other information are publicly released on ASX.
6. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.
(a) Transfer of Warrant. If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder must assign and novate this agreement to the transferee on the same terms and conditions as this Warrant and shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.
(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.
(c) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant
18
or Warrants (in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, that no Subscription Warrants for fractional Warrant Shares shall be given.
(d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 6(a) or Section 6(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant. For the avoidance of doubt, any reference to the issuance of Warrants for the purposes of this Section 6(d) and the rest of this document does not represent an issue of new equity securities but represents an update of the details of the document of title to which the Warrant relates.
-
NOTICES. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 9 of the Share Subscription Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor.

It is expressly understood and agreed that the time of exercise specified by the Holder in each Exercise Notice shall be definitive and may not be disputed or challenged by the Company.
-
AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended or waived and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder.
-
GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each of the Company and the Holder hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
19
such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holder hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) at the address set forth in Section 9 of the Share Subscription Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude either the Company or the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Holder or the Company, as applicable, in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Holder’s obligations to the Company or the Company's obligations to the Holder, as applicable, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Company or the Holder, as applicable. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
-
CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all the Buyers and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.
-
DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile or electronic mail within one (1) Business Day of receipt or deemed receipt of the Exercise Notice giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days submit via facsimile or electronic mail (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Holder and approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to an independent, outside accountant, selected by the Holder and approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank's or accountant's determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.
-
REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
20
remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
-
DISCLOSURE. Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day after any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information to the ASX Company Announcements Platform, on a Current Report on Form 8-K, if applicable, or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to such Holder contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING ‘APPOINTMENT OF PROXY’ FORM
APPOINTING A PROXY
A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. The appointed proxy may be an individual or body corporate.
If a Body Corporate is appointed to act as your proxy then a representative of that Body Corporate must be appointed to act as its representative. When attending the meeting, the representative must bring a formal notice of appointment as per section 250D of the Corporations Act. Such notice must be signed as required by section 127 of the Corporations Act or the Body Corporate’s Constitution.
If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll.
The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
Note: If you wish to appoint a second proxy, you may copy this form but you must return both forms together.
VOTING ON BUSINESS OF MEETING
A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business.
Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws.
Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

ATTENDING THE MEETING
