Each Loyalty Option will have an exercise price of $0.06 and expire on the date that is 3 years from the date of issue.
Any Loyalty Options not taken up pursuant to the Entitlement Offer (if any) ( Shortfall Options ) will form the Shortfall Offer. The Shortfall Offer is only open to persons who have received an invitation from the Directors to apply for Shortfall Options pursuant to the Shortfall Offer.
