Dear Sir

CEASING TO BE A SUBSTANTIAL HOLDER

Please see attached ceasing to be a substantial holder notice relating to the expiry of escrow arrangements disclosed in the Company’s initial public offering prospectus dated 1 August 2013.

The escrow arrangements gave the Company a technical “relevant interest” in these shares under the Corporations Act; however the Company had no right to acquire these shares or to control the voting rights attached to the shares.

Yours faithfully
