Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Company’s General Meeting.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the resolution in the accompanying Notice.

This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary.

1. Resolution 1 – Issued Capital Refresh

Resolutions 1 (a) – (e) seeks Shareholder approval for the prior issues of Shares that have occurred in the 12 months prior to 31 August 2015 that have not already been approved by Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the Company’s issued capital at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to the issues of securities described below. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the company to maintain the ability to issue up to its full placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval so that the Company retains financial flexibility and can take advantage of commercial opportunities that may arise.

If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given Resolution, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on a Resolution your vote on that Resolution will be invalid.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning the Company on 08 9226 0866 or you may photocopy this form.

To appoint a second proxy you must on each Proxy Form state (in the appropriate box) the percentage of your voting rights which are the subject of the relevant proxy. If both Proxy Forms do not specify that percentage, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.
