    • do not (until Conversion) confer on Note Holders any right as a member $(iii)$ or shareholder of the Company, including voting rights (unless the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules provide otherwise); and
    • $(iv)$ confer on Note Holders a right to be given copies of all documents sent by the Company to shareholders (whether in connection with a general meeting of Shareholders or otherwise).

    • $(ii)$ acknowledges that it has contractual rights against the Company as set out in these Conditions of Issue but that the Notes do not (until Conversion) confer any right as a member of the Company.

3 Interest

  • The Notes will accrue interest daily at the Interest Rate. $(a)$
  • $(b)$ Interest must be paid by the Company in arrears within 2 Business Days of each Interest Payment Date in respect of the preceding Interest Period. The Company may elect to defer payment of interest for the Interest Period ending on the first Interest Payment Date following the Issue Date until the next occurring Interest Payment Date at which time it must be paid in full together with all other interest then due and payable by the Company. Any such interest payment deferred will not itself attract interest.

  • $(d)$ Interest ceases to be payable in respect of any Note from the date the Note is converted or the date on which the whole of the Principal Amount is repaid in accordance with these Conditions of Issue. Any interest outstanding at the applicable Conversion Date will be due and payable as a debt from the Company to the Note Holder.
  • $(e)$ If the Company becomes an externally administered body corporate (within the meaning of the Corporations Act) and notwithstanding any other provision of these Conditions of Issue, all interest on the Notes which would potentially be payable in the future on any future Interest Payment Date will immediately become due and payable.

$\overline{\mathbf{4}}$ Conversion

$4.1$ Conversion Right

  • Each Note Holder has the right to elect to convert all or some only of the Notes $(a)$ early by giving written notice to the Company at any time. Any Notes the subject of early Conversion will be the subject of a Share issue by the Company at the Conversion Rate no later than 10 Business Days after the Quarterly Conversion Date following the Conversion Notice Date, at which time final payment of interest in respect of the Notes up to the Conversion Date must also he made.
  • Where a Note Holder elects to convert only part of its total holding of Notes, the $(b)$ Note Holder must convert at least 5,000 Notes or an integral multiple of 5,000 Notes.
  • The Company covenants with each Note Holder that it will issue Shares for the $(c)$ Notes in respect of which Note Holders have elected to exercise Conversion Rights, at the Conversion Rate on the relevant Conversion Date (as applicable).
  • $(d)$ Upon the exercise of a Conversion Right in respect of a Note, the Note Holder will be deemed to have applied for such number of Shares as will be issued upon the conversion of those Notes at the Conversion Rate.
  • All Shares issued upon conversion of Notes will rank in all respects equally with the $(e)$ then existing Shares of the Company and will rank for dividends declared or determined by the Company on its Shares after (but not before) the Conversion Date of the Notes.

$4.3$ Adjustment of Conversion Rate

If the Company reorganises its capital, the Conversion Rate or the conversion price or both will be adjusted in accordance with the Listing Rules applicable at the time of the reorganisation, and so that Note Holders will not receive a benefit that holders of Shares do not receive. Unless the Listing Rules require otherwise, the Conversion Rate must be adjusted as follows:

$(a)$ Reduction in capital: If the issued capital of the Company is reduced, the entitlement of a Note Holder to convert its Notes to Shares at the Conversion Rate will be reduced in the same proportion and manner as the issued capital is so reduced (subject to any provisions with respect to the rounding of entitlements as may be sanctioned by the meeting of the members of the Company approving the reduction of capital) but in all other respects the Conversion Rights will remain unchanged;

  • Consolidation of capital: If the issued capital of the Company is consolidated. $(b)$ the entitlement of a Note Holder to convelt its Notes to Shares at the Conversion Rate will be reduced in the same proportion and manner as the issued capital is so consolidated (subject to any provisions with respect to the rounding of entitlements as may be sanctioned by the meeting of the members of the Company approving the consolidation of capital) but in all other respects the Conversion Rights will remain unchanged; and
  • $(c)$ Subdivision of Capital: If the issued capital of the Company is subdivided, the entitlement of a Note Holder to convert its Notes to Shares at the Conversion Rate will be increased in the same proportion and manner as the issued capital is so subdivided (subject to any provisions with respect to the rounding of entitlements as may be sanctioned by the meeting of the members of the Company approving the subdivision of capital) but in all other respects the Conversion Rights will remain unchanged.

If the Company reorganises its capital so that the Conversion Rate or the conversion price or both are adjusted in accordance with this clause, the Company must advise the Trustee and the Note Holders of the adjustment.

4.4 Pro rata issue

If at any time prior to the earlier to occur of the Conversion, redemption or Maturity Date of the Convertible Notes the Company makes a pro rata offer (excluding a bonus issue) to shareholders, the Conversion Rate on Conversion of the Notes will be adjusted using the formula as follows:

$$ NR = OR + E[P - (S+O)] $$

$$ N+1 $$

Where:

$NR =$ the new Conversion Rate of the Notes.

  • $OR =$ the old Conversion Rate of the Note prior to the pro rata offer.
  • the number of Shares into which one Note is convertible. $E =$
  • $P =$ average market price per Share weighted by reference to volume of the underlying Shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.
  • $S =$ the subscription price of a Share under the pro rata issue.
  • the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying Shares (except those $Q=$ to be issued under the pro rata issue).
  • $N =$ the number of Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one (1) new share.

$4.5$ Bonus Issue

If a bonus Share issue is made by the Company, then the number of Shares issued to each Note Holder on Conversion of a Note will be increased by the number of bonus Shares that a Note Holder would have received if the Note had been exercised prior to the record date for the bonus issue. No change will be made to the Conversion Rate.

Costs of Conversion and listing $4.6$

Except as otherwise stated in these Conditions of Issue, the Company will pay the expenses (but excluding any taxes or stamp duties for which the holders of Shares would ordinarily be liable) of the issue of, and all expenses of obtaining quotation for, Shares issued on Conversion.

    • $(i)$ maintain a listing for all the Shares on the ASX;
    • obtain and maintain a listing on the ASX for all the Shares issued on the $(ii)$ exercise of any of the Conversion Rights;
    • $(iii)$ obtain and maintain a listing for all the Shares issued on the exercise of any of the Conversion Rights on any other stock exchanges on which any other Shares are then listed; and
    • $(iv)$ promptly give to the Note Holders notice of the delisting of the Shares (as a class) by the ASX, or any other stock exchange on which they are listed from time to time:

  • the Company will give to each Note Holder written notice (Sale Notice) of the $(c)$ Change in Control Event within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of it; and

    • $(ii)$ require the Company to redeem all the Convertible Notes held by that Note Holder in accordance with Condition 6.
