  • (a) On the last trading day immediately prior to the announcement date of the Offer (being 28 April 2025), the closing price of the Shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) was A$0.21 per New Share. The Issue Price is a ~28.6% discount to that closing price.

  • (b) The volumed weighted average market price ( VWAP ) of the Company's Shares over the last 5 trading days up to and including 28 April 2025 was A$0.18 ( 5 Day VWAP ). The Issue Price represents a ~16.8% discount to the 5 Day VWAP.

This limit will apply even if you receive more than one offer from the Company (for example, because you are a joint holder of Shares or because you hold more than one shareholding under separate share accounts).

The Company reserves the right to issue to an Eligible Shareholder fewer New Shares than the number applied for, for whatever reason, including to avoid the possible subscription of over A$30,000 worth of New Shares by an Eligible Shareholder (including through joint holdings, multiple registered holdings or any holding in which they have a beneficial interest(s)).
