Important information concerning proxy votes on Remuneration related Resolution 1

The Corporations Act prohibits Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties from voting on resolutions connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of Key Management Personnel.

Agenda Item 2 - Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

Section 298 of the Corporations Act requires the annual Directors’ Report to contain a Remuneration Report prepared in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act.

By way of summary, the Remuneration Report:

Pursuant to section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Shareholders should note that Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Recent changes to the Corporations Act, provide that if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those Annual General Meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of the approval of the applicable Directors’ Report must stand for re-election.

If you intend to appoint a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel (including any Director of the Company or the Chairman) or their Closely Related Parties as your proxy, please refer to the important information contained in the Notice of Meeting under the heading “Important information concerning proxy votes on Resolution 1”.

on the date of their issue.

  • (c) As the ASX Listing Rules require, the tables below show the potential dilution of Shareholders of the Company in various hypothetical scenarios.

Hypothetical example:

By way of example only, the theoretical impact of issuing the full amount of the 10% Share Issue Capacity at a range of prices is demonstrated below.

The number of new shares issued if the full 10% capacity is used is 27,138,419.

This table assumes that:

the issued capital prior to the issue under the 10% Share Issue Capacity is the current issued capital -
271,384,194 Shares;

the market value of a share on the date of issue is the same as the closing ASX price on 7 October 2013 of
$0.02;

that shares are issued for cash and there is no other impact of the fundraising other than to increase cash
reserves; and

no other securities are issued prior to the issue under the 10% Share Issue Capacity.
Effect of change in capital structure and market price
The 10% Share Issue Capacity is calculated at the time of issue of securities and so may be effected by
any changes in capital structure prior to the new issue occurring.
By way of example, the impact of changes in the capital structure on the amount which can be raised
and the number of shares which may be issued under 10% Share Issue Capacity is shown below.
Note that the percentage dilution of voting power and economic interest as a result of the issue of
additional shares under the 10% Share Issue Capacity is dependent on the number of shares issued and
the issue price for the issue of those shares under the 10% Share Issue Capacity. This is demonstrated in
the hypothetical example below.
