3.4 Resolution 4: Ratification of issue of securities under the PPG Executive Long Term Incentive Plan

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing shares or options representing more than 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period without shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue by a company of shares made without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when made and the company’s shareholders subsequently approve it.

Accordingly, the Board has decided to seek Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 1,050,000 PPG Shares on 25 March 2014 at a deemed issue price of $0.46 per PPG Share ( Relevant Shares ) pursuant to the Company's ESPP.

The effect of Shareholder approval of this Resolution will be that the Relevant Shares issued will not be counted in calculating the number of securities which the Company can issue in the next 12 months under the 15% limit imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Relevant Shares:

issue of the Relevant Shares:
Names of the allottees or the basis upon
which allottees were determined:
Senior
executives
who
accepted
the
Board's
invitation to participate in the offer of the Relevant
Shares pursuant to the ESPP.
The number of securities issued: 1,050,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.
Price at which the securities were
issued:
Deemed issue price of $0.46 per PPG Share.
Terms of the securities: Fully paid ordinary shares of the Company ranking
equally with all other ordinary shares of the Company
issued pursuant to the ESPP.
Use (or intended use) of the funds
raised:
No funds were raised from the issue of the Relevant
Shares.
Confirmation that the issue did not
breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1:
The Company confirms that the issue of the Relevant
Shares did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the
time of their issue.

Directors' Recommendation: All Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution as it refreshes the Company's capacity to make further issues of securities with the full 15% flexibility allowed for under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. None of the Directors has an interest in the outcome of this Resolution.
