Any information or representation that is not contained in this Prospectus may not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Company or its Directors.
This Prospectus is a ‘transaction-specific’ prospectus issued under section 713 of the Corporations Act. Section 713 allows the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of continuously quoted securities. The Prospectus is therefore intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company, which has been notified to the ASX; it does not include all information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial offering of securities in a company that is not already listed on the ASX.

This Prospectus has not been, nor will it be, lodged, filed or registered with any regulatory authority under the securities laws of any country other than Australia. The Securities the subject of this Prospectus have not been, nor will they be, approved by or registered with any regulatory authority of any other country.

Form unless it is attached to a hard copy of this Prospectus or it accompanies the complete and unaltered version of this Prospectus. During the Offer period any person may obtain a copy of this Prospectus free of charge by contacting the Company.
It is important that investors read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek professional advice where necessary. An investment in the Securities the subject of this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.
Certain terms and abbreviations used in this Prospectus have defined meanings which are explained in the Glossary.

This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements which are identified by words such as ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’, or ‘intends’ and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties.
These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.
Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, its Directors and its management.
The Company cannot and does not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

2. DETAILS OF THE OFFER
2.1. The Offer
The Company is making a pro-rata non-renounceable issue of Securities to Shareholders who are registered as at 7.00 pm AEDT on 28 November 2017 ("Record Date") and have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand.
The Offer is made on the basis that for every 5 Shares held as at the Record Date, Eligible Shareholders will have the right to subscribe for 4 new Shares at an issue price of $0.015 each. Each Eligible Shareholder will be entitled to receive 1 New Option for every Share subscribed for and received under this Prospectus for no additional consideration. The exercise price of the New Options is $0.025 and the expiry date is 30 June 2019. The full terms of the New Options are set out in section 5.2.
In the calculation of any Entitlement, fractions will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
Based on the capital structure of the Company at the date of this Prospectus, approximately 40,815,310 Shares and 40,815,310 New Options will be offered under this Offer, to raise approximately $612,230 (before the costs of the Offer).
This Offer is made on a non-renounceable basis which means that Eligible Shareholders may not sell or transfer all or part of the Entitlement. If an Entitlement is not taken up under the Offer by the Closing Date, the Entitlement will lapse.
The Entitlement of each Shareholder is shown on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Prospectus. The details of how to accept the Entitlement are set out below.
2.2. No Minimum Subscription
There is no minimum subscription.
2.3. Action required
If you wish to take up all or part of your Entitlement, you can complete the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions set out and lodge the form together with your payment for the appropriate amount so that it reaches the Company's share registry:
By post: By delivery (between 9am to 5pm AEDT): Peako Limited Peako Limited c/- Automic Registry Services c/- Automic Registry Services PO Box 2226 Level 13, 50 Holt Street STRAWBERRY HILLS NSW 2012 SURRY HILLS NSW 2010
Completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms must reach the Company's share registry by no later than 5.00 pm AEDT on the Closing Date, being 15 December 2017 .
Cheques should be made payable to "Peako Limited” and crossed "Not Negotiable".
Alternatively, you can pay by BPAY in accordance with the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. It is your responsibility to ensure the payment is received by the Company by no later than 5.00pm AEDT on 15 December 2017. You should be aware that your own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payments and you should take this into consideration when making payment.
7
The Company accepts no responsibility for late or incorrectly completed BPAY payments.
If paying by BPAY there is no need to forward the completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form to the Company's share registry.
If the amount of your cheque(s) for application money (or the amount for which those cheque(s) clear in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay for the number of Shares and New Options you have applied for in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you may be taken to have applied for such lower number of Shares and New Options as your cleared application money will pay for (and to have specified that number of Shares and New Options in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form) or your application may be rejected at the discretion of the Directors.
A completed and lodged Entitlement and Acceptance Form constitutes a binding offer to acquire Securities on the terms and conditions set out in this Prospectus and, once lodged, cannot be withdrawn. Refer to section 6.8 for further details.
If you decide not to accept your Entitlement, you do not need to take any action.
2.4. No Shortfall Offer
There is no shortfall offer for any Entitlement not taken up under the Offer.
2.5. No Underwriting
The Offer is not underwritten.
2.6. Effect of the Offer on the Control of the Company
(a) General
Assuming none of the existing 5,000,000 unquoted options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the maximum number of Shares that will be issued under the Offer is 40,815,310. This equates to approximately 44% of all the issued Shares in the Company following completion of the Offer (on an undiluted basis).
The potential effect the Offer will have on the control of the Company’s undiluted share capital will depend on the extent to which Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements under the Offer.
If all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements in full, the Offer will have no material effect on the control of the Company.
Shareholders should be aware that if they do not participate in the Offer and the Offer is fully subscribed, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 44% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus).
(b) Albers Shareholders
Mr E.G. Albers has indicated that he intends to participate in the Offer by taking up his full Entitlement, personally and in respect of entities that he controls (Albers Shareholders), with the exception of Octanex Ltd (see below). If all Eligible Shareholders do not take up their Entitlements in full, the level of control of the Company held by Albers Shareholder will increase.

The following table takes into account the Albers Shareholders interests and voting power in Shares at the Date of this Prospectus and the effect on those interests of various levels of acceptance under the Rights issue. This is analysed in four cases on an undiluted basis, shown in separate columns in the table, assuming that the Albers Shareholders, with the exception of Octanex Ltd, take up their full Entitlements:
-
A. Assumes that no other Shareholders take up their Entitlements.
-
B. Assumes that 25% of the remaining Entitlements are taken up.
-
C. Assumes that 50% of the remaining Entitlements are taken up
-
D. Assumes all Eligible Shareholders take up their full Entitlements

2.8. Official Quotation by ASX
Application to ASX for admission of the Shares and New Options to Official Quotation will be made by the Company within 7 days of the date of this Prospectus.
If the application referred to above is not made within the 7 days, or the Shares are not admitted to Official Quotation on ASX within 3 months after the date of this Prospectus, or such longer period as is permitted by the Corporations Act, none of the Securities offered by this Prospectus will be issued.

2.9. Issues outside Australia and New Zealand
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of securities in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to issue this Prospectus or make the Offer. The distribution of this Prospectus and accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form may be restricted by law (and any failure to comply with those restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws) and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus and accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form should seek advice and observe those restrictions.
No action has been taken to register or qualify the Shares and New Options or the Offer or otherwise to permit an offering of the Shares and New Options in any jurisdiction outside Australia, although Shareholders in New Zealand may be eligible to participate in the Offer and should refer to section 2.10 for further information
10
This document is not for publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States of America (including its territories and possessions, any state of the US and the District of Columbia). This document is not an offer of securities for sale into the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, US Persons. The securities referred to herein have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, US Persons. No public offering of securities is being made in the United States.
2.10. Overseas Shareholders
The Offer in this Prospectus is not being extended to any Shareholder, as at the Record Date, whose registered address is not situated in Australia or New Zealand.
Recipients may not send or otherwise distribute this Prospectus or the Entitlement and Acceptance Form to any person outside Australia (other than to Eligible Shareholders).
It is the responsibility of any Shareholder who submits an Entitlement and Acceptance Form to obtain all necessary approvals for the allotment and issue of the Shares and New Options under this Offer. The return of a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation and warranty by the applicant to the Company that there has been no breach of such laws and that all relevant approvals have been obtained.
New Zealand Shareholders
The Offer contained in this Prospectus to Eligible Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand is made in reliance on the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013 (New Zealand). Members of the public in New Zealand who are not existing Shareholders on the Record Date are not entitled to apply for any Shares or New Options.
Persons resident outside Australia should consult their professional advisers as to whether any governmental or other consents are required, or whether formalities need to be observed, to enable them to accept the offer of Shares and New Options under this Prospectus.
Given the relatively small number of Shareholders outside Australia and New Zealand, it is not reasonable for the Company to meet the requirements of the securities laws of countries other than Australia and New Zealand and the Offer has not been and will not be registered under the relevant securities laws of those jurisdictions. For that reason, no Entitlement and Acceptance Forms can be or are being sent to Shareholders with registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand, and this Prospectus is being sent to them for information purposes only.
2.11. Risk Factors
Investors should carefully read the risk factors outlined in section 4. An investment of this kind involves a number of risks, some of which are specific to the Company and the industry in which it operates.
2.12. Rights Attaching to Shares and New Options
Summaries of the rights attaching to Shares and New Options are set out in sections 5.1 and 5.2 respectively.
11
2.13. Taxation Implications
The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of the Company conducting the Issue or Shareholders applying for Shares and New Options under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation positions of Shareholders. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to Shareholders arising from the Issue. Shareholders should, therefore, consult their own professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Issue.
2.14. Notice to nominees and custodians
Nominees and custodians that hold existing Shares should note that the Offer is available only to Eligible Shareholders. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of securities. If any nominee or custodian is acting on behalf of a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.
2.15. Summary
This section is not intended to provide full details and information on the Offer. Shareholders must read this Prospectus in full in order to make a fully informed investment decision.
2.16. Enquiries
Any questions concerning the Offer should be directed to the Company’s share registry in the first instance (Telephone: +61 1300 288 664) or otherwise to the Company (Telephone: +61 3 8610 4702).

4. RISK FACTORS
4.1. Introduction
The Securities offered under this Prospectus and investment generally in the Company’s securities is considered highly speculative, and involve investors being exposed to risk. The Directors strongly recommend investors examine the contents of this Prospectus and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities under this Prospectus or make an investment generally in the Company’s securities.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of the risks that may have a material effect on the financial position and performance of the Company and the value of its securities as well as the Company's exploration and development activities and an ability to fund those activities.
The specific risks below are some of the risks specific to the Company including by reason of its involvement in the mineral resource industry.
4.2. Risks relating to the Company’s current operations
(a) Tenure and access for tenements
Mining and exploration tenements are subject to periodic renewal. If expenditure conditions are not met there is no guarantee that current or future tenements or future applications for mining tenements will be approved.
Generally speaking, exploration activities may only be undertaken on an exploration tenement once agreement has been reached with the relevant landowners and native title holders. Access to land for exploration purposes can be affected by land ownership, nature reserves and national parks, government regulation, native title and environmental restrictions. Access is critical for exploration and development to succeed and satisfactory commercial arrangements are required to be negotiated with the relevant landowners, traditional owners and occupiers.
(b) Exploration success
The Company’s focus is mineral exploration, and Shareholders should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings.
There can be no assurance that exploration will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
The Company’s future exploration activities may be affected by a range of factors including geological conditions, limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns, unanticipated operational and technical difficulties, industrial and environmental accidents, native title process, changing government regulations and many other factors beyond the control of the Company.
The exploration costs of the Company are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s viability.
16
4.3. General risks relating to the Company
(a) Trading Price of Securities
The Company’s operating results, economic and financial prospects and other factors will affect the trading prices of the Company’s securities. In addition, the price of the Company’s securities is subject to varied and often unpredictable influences on the market for equities, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions including the performance of the Australian dollar and United States dollar on world markets, inflation rates, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, variations in the general market for listed stocks in general, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation, industrial disputes, general operational and business risks and hedging or arbitrage trading activity that may develop involving the Company’s securities.
In particular, security prices for many companies have been and may in the future be highly volatile, which in many cases may reflect a diverse range of non-company specific influences such as global hostilities and tensions relating to certain unstable regions of the world, acts of terrorism and the general state of the global economy. No assurances can be made that the Company’s market performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors.
(b) Failure to raise capital
The cash position of the Company is considered sufficient to meet the objectives of the Company in the near future. However, additional funding may be required by the Company to effectively implement the Company business and activities in the future, to take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business opportunities, and to meet any unanticipated liabilities or expenses which the Company may incur.
The Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, production sharing arrangements or other means. Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s activities and future projects may result in delay and indefinite postponement of explorations, development or production on the Company’s projects or even loss of an interest. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed, or if available, the terms of the financing might not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.
(c) Exploration and Development Risks
The business of exploration, project development and production, by its nature, contains elements of significant risk with no guarantee of success. Ultimate and continuous success of these activities is dependent on many factors such as:
-
i. the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable reserves;
-
ii. access to adequate capital for project development;
-
iii. design and construction of efficient development and production infrastructure within capital expenditure budgets;
-
iv. securing and maintaining title to interests;
-
v. obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of exploration, development and production;
-
vi. obtaining consents and approvals necessary for the procurement of sufficient power capacity; and
17
- vii. access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants.
Whether or not income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on successful exploration and establishment of production facilities.
There can be no assurance that any exploration on current or future interests will result in the discovery of economic deposits. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically developed.
(d) No market sector diversification
As the Company is entirely exposed to the resources sector, its business performance may be affected should this sector perform poorly.
(e) Commodity price volatility and exchange rate risks
If the Company achieves success leading to mineral production, the revenue it will derive through the sale of commodities exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.
Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.
(f) Environmental
Although the Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner, if it is responsible for environmental damage it may incur substantial costs for environmental rehabilitation, damage control and losses by third parties resulting from its operations. Environmental and safety legislation may change in a manner that may require stricter or additional standards than those now in effect, a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their directors and employees and more stringent enforcement of existing laws and regulations. This may lead to increased costs or other difficulties with compliance for the Company.
(g) Competition risk
The industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business.
18
(h) Potential acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, complementary companies or projects. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making such acquisitions.
(i) Economic
General economic conditions, introduction of tax reform, new legislation, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
(j) Force Majeure
The Company’s projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.
(k) Government policy changes
Adverse changes in government policies or legislation may affect ownership of mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations, and mining and exploration activities of the Company. It is possible that the current system of exploration and mine permitting in the Republic of Ireland and/or Western Australia may change, resulting in impairment of rights and possibly expropriation of the Company’s properties without adequate compensation.
4.4. Investment speculative
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Company’s securities.
Therefore, the Securities to be issued under this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities under this Prospectus.

6.6. Share Trading History
The Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and its Shares are enhanced disclosure securities quoted on ASX.
The highest and lowest market price of the Company’s quoted Shares on ASX during the 3 months immediately preceding the date of lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC and the respective dates of those sales and the last sale price on the trading day prior to lodgement of this Prospectus were:
| Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.017 | 18 October 2017 |
| Lowest | $0.012 | 12 August 2017 |
| Latest | $0.018 | 22 November 2017 |
6.7. Continuous Disclosure Obligations
The Company is a "disclosing entity" (as defined in Section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company's securities. The Shares that will be issued under this Prospectus and the Shares that will be issued on exercise of the New Options offered under this Prospectus will be in the same class of Shares that have been granted official quotation by ASX during the 3 months prior to the issue of this Prospectus.
This Prospectus is a "transaction specific prospectus" to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That provision allows the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities, or options to acquire securities, in a class which has been continuously quoted by ASX in the three months prior to the date of the prospectus. In general terms "transaction specific prospectuses" are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the Offer on the Company and the rights and liabilities attaching to the securities offered. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquiries as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the securities market conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, states that:
26
-
(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
-
(b) copies of documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of ASIC; and
-
(c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:
-
(i) the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2017; and
(ii) any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in Section 674(1) of the Corporations Act after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC.
Details of documents lodged with ASX since the date of lodgement of the Company’s latest annual financial report and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC are set out in the table below.
Date Announcement Title 22/11/2017 Eastman Project Farmin 30/10/2017 Quarterly Reports - 30 September 2017 26/10/2017 Notice of General Meeting/Proxy Form 4/10/2017 Appendix 4G and Corporate Governance Statement 2/10/2017 Change of Share Registry Notification
6.8. Entitlement and Acceptance Form is binding
A completed and lodged Entitlement and Acceptance Form constitutes a binding offer to acquire Shares and New Options on the terms and conditions set out in this Prospectus and, once lodged, cannot be withdrawn. If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly, it may still be treated as a valid application for Shares and New Options. The Directors’ decision whether to treat an acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is final.
By completing and returning your Entitlement and Acceptance Form with the requisite application monies, you will be deemed to have represented that you are an Eligible Shareholder. In addition, you will also be deemed to have represented and warranted on behalf of yourself or each person on whose account you are acting that the laws in your place of residence and where you have been given this Prospectus, do not prohibit you from being given this Prospectus and that you:
-
agree to be bound by the terms of the Offer;
-
declare that all details and statements in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form are complete and accurate;
-
declare that you are over 18 years of age and have full legal capacity and power to perform all your rights and obligations under the Entitlement and Acceptance Form;
-
authorise the Company and its respective officers or agents, to do anything on your behalf necessary for the Shares and New Options to be issued to you, including to act on instructions of the Company’s Share Registry upon using the contact details set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form;
-
declare that you are the current registered holder of Shares and are an Australian or New Zealand resident, and you are not in the United States or a US Person, or acting for the account or benefit of a US Person;
27
-
acknowledge that the information contained in, or accompanying, this Prospectus is not investment or financial product advice or a recommendation that Shares and New Options are suitable for you given your investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs; and
-
acknowledge that the Shares and New Options have not, and will not be, registered under the securities laws in any other jurisdictions outside Australia and accordingly, the Shares and New Options may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except in accordance with an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of applicable securities laws in particular the US Securities Act.
6.9. Electronic Prospectus
Under Class Order 00/44, ASIC has exempted compliance with certain provisions of the Corporations Act to allow distribution of an electronic prospectus and electronic application form on the basis of a paper prospectus lodged with ASIC, and the publication of notices referring to an electronic prospectus or electronic application form, subject to compliance with certain conditions.
Any person accessing the electronic version of this Prospectus for the purpose of making an investment in the Company must be an Australian resident and must only access this Prospectus from within Australia.
If you have received this Prospectus as an electronic prospectus, please ensure that you have received the entire Prospectus accompanied by the Application Form. If you have not, please contact the Company and the Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of this Prospectus, or both.
The Corporations Act prohibits any person passing onto another person an Application Form unless it is attached to a hard copy of this Prospectus or it accompanies the complete and unaltered version of this Prospectus.
The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.
6.10. Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsored holdings
The Company will not be issuing share certificates. The Company is a participant in CHESS. Investors who do not wish to hold their securities 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.
