Resolutions 1 to 9 – Ratification of Share Issues

Resolutions 1 to 9 provide for Shareholder approval of the issue of a total of 157,894,739 fully paid Shares at $0.19 cents per Share, of which:

  • 10,526,316 of the Shares are to be issued to Atlas Ventures (Nominee) Pty Limited (Resolution 1);
  • 26,315,790 of the Shares are to be issued to E.L. & C. Baillieu Stockbroking Limited (Resolution 2);
  • 13,157,895 of the Shares are to be issued to Carnethy Investments Pty Limited (Resolution 3);
  • 26,315,790 of the Shares are to be issued to Dottie Investments Pty Limited (Resolution 4);
  • 21,052,632 of the Shares are to be issued to Ginga Pty Limited (Resolution 5);
  • 26,315,790 of the Shares are to be issued to Golden Words Pty Limited (Resolution 6);
  • 5,263,158 of the Shares are to be issued to Indubilla Pty Limited (Resolution 7);
  • 15,789,474 of the Shares are to be issued to M F Custodians Ltd (Resolution 8).
  • 13,157,895 of the Shares are to be issued to IP Capital Strategies Pty Limited and their nominee(s) (Resolution 9).

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the Company cannot issue or agree to issue equity securities (which include Shares) without shareholder approval (unless the issue is pursuant to an exemption to Listing Rule 7.1) where the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued in the preceding 12 month period and the new issue exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary shares on issue at the beginning of the preceding 12 month period (increased by any issues undertaken in that period with shareholder approval or under an exemption to Listing Rule 7.1).

As the total number of Shares to be issued under Resolutions 1 to 8 will exceed 15% of the number of ordinary shares on issue as at 30 November 2006, the Company is therefore seeking shareholder approval in respect of each issue for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

The Shares will be issued and allotted within 7 business days of approval by the general meeting ( ie anticipated to be by 7 December 2007).

Information for all Shares issued and proposed to be issued

Terms

All Shares issued and to be issued are on the same terms as and rank equally with all existing Shares on issue.

Use of the funds

The funds raised will be used to provide additional working capital and sufficient resources for the Company to take advantage of global growth opportunities.
