If you take up your Entitlement in full, you may also apply for Shortfall Securities (to the extent there is availability) in excess of your Entitlement by completing the relevant part of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
The Company reserves the right, subject to any restrictions imposed by the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, to issue the Shortfall Securities at their sole discretion in consultation with the Underwriter.

-
You may seek to sell all or some of your Entitlements on ASX. You can seek to sell your Entitlements on ASX from Wednesday, 1 November 2017 until the close of market on Tuesday, 14 November 2017. To sell any of your Entitlements you need to contact your broker as soon as possible.
