The Company also announced the establishment of a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to enable shareholders to purchase up to \$5,000 worth (6,250 shares) of fully paid ordinary shares, at the same discount price and free from all brokerage and commissions.

Accompanying this letter is a document entitled "Share Purchase Plan Terms and Conditions" which explains how the new shares will be issued should you participate in this offer.
