Introduced 01/08/12 Amended 04/03/13

Part 1

Rule 7.1 – Issues exceeding 15% of capital
Step 1: Calculate "A", the base figure from which the placementcapacity is calculated
Insert number of fully paid +ordinarysecurities on issue 12 months before the+issue date or date of agreement to issue
Add the following:
Number of fully paid +ordinary securities•issued in that 12 month period under anexception in rule 7.2
Number of fully paid +ordinary securities•issued in that 12 month period withshareholder approval
Number of partly paid +ordinary•securities that became fully paid in that12 month period
Note:•Include only ordinary securities here –other classes of equity securities cannotbe added•Include here (if applicable) thesecurities the subject of the Appendix3B to which this form is annexed•It may be useful to set out issues ofsecurities on different dates as separateline items
Subtract the number of fully paid +ordinarysecurities cancelled during that 12 monthperiod
"A"

+ See chapter 19 for defined terms.

Step 2: Calculate 15% of "A"
"B"	0.15
	[Note: this value cannot be changed]
Multiply "A" by 0.15
Step 3: Calculate "C", the amount of placement capacity under rule7.1 that has already been used
Insert number of +equity securities issuedor agreed to be issued in that 12 monthperiod not counting those issued:
•Under an exception in rule 7.2
•Under rule 7.1A
•With security holder approval under rule7.1 or rule 7.4
Note:•This applies to equity securities, unlessspecifically excluded – not just ordinarysecurities•Include here (if applicable) thesecurities the subject of the Appendix3B to which this form is annexed•It may be useful to set out issues ofsecurities on different dates as separateline items
"C"
Step 4: Subtract "C" from ["A" x "B"] to calculate remainingplacement capacity under rule 7.1
"A" x 0.15
Note: number must be same as shown inStep 2
Subtract "C"
Note: number must be same as shown inStep 3
Total ["A" x 0.15] – "C"
	[Note: this is the remaining placementcapacity under rule 7.1]

+ See chapter 19 for defined terms.

Part 2

Rule 7.1A – Additional placement capacity for eligible entities
Step 1: Calculate "A", the base figure from which the placementcapacity is calculated
"A"
Note: number must be same as shown inStep 1 of Part 1
Step 2: Calculate 10% of "A"
"D"	0.10
	Note: this value cannot be changed
Multiply "A" by 0.10
Step 3: Calculate "E", the amount of placement capacity under rule7.1A that has already been used
Insert number of +equity securities issuedor agreed to be issued in that 12 monthperiod under rule 7.1A
Notes:•This applies to equity securities – notjust ordinary securities•Include here – if applicable – thesecurities the subject of the Appendix3B to which this form is annexed•Do not include equity securities issuedunder rule 7.1 (they must be dealt within Part 1), or for which specific securityholder approval has been obtained•It may be useful to set out issues ofsecurities on different dates as separateline items"E"

+ See chapter 19 for defined terms.

Step 4: Subtract "E" from ["A" x "D"] to calculate remainingplacement capacity under rule 7.1A
"A" x 0.10
Note: number must be same as shown inStep 2
Subtract "E"
Note: number must be same as shown inStep 3
Total ["A" x 0.10] – "E"
	Note: this is the remaining placementcapacity under rule 7.1A

+ See chapter 19 for defined terms.
