Entitlement and Application for Additional New Shares
The number of New Shares for which you are entitled to apply for under the Retail Entitlement Offer ( Entitlement ) is shown on your Personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Any New Shares not taken up in full pursuant to the Retail Entitlement Offer ( Shortfall Shares ) will first be made available to eligible retail shareholders who took up and paid for their full Entitlement and applied for Additional New Shares ( Oversubscription Facility ). Allocations of Additional New Shares are at the discretion of the Company. To the extent that there is greater demand than there is a shortfall, eligible retail shareholders who have applied for Additional New Shares will have their applications scaled back by the Independent Board Committee of the Company on a pro rata basis or to the extent considered necessary to prevent the issue of securities being made contrary to the law or ASX Listing Rules.
If there are Shortfall Shares left after allocating Additional New Shares to eligible retail shareholders, those shares will be acquired by TDM Growth Partners Pty Ltd ( TDM ) pursuant to its sub-underwriting agreement. You should refer to the Retail Entitlement Offer Information Booklet for further details, including the control implications if TDM takes up any Shortfall Shares.
