  1. The potential effect of the Rights Issue on the control of Sunstone will depend on a number of factors, including the extent to which shareholders participate in the Rights Issue. For example:

  2. ineligible shareholders and Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their entitlement will have their percentage holding in Sunstone diluted as a result of the Rights Issue;

  3. Eligible Shareholders who take up their entitlement in part will have their percentage holding in Sunstone diluted to the extent to which they do not take up their full entitlement as a result of the Rights Issue; and

  4. Eligible Shareholders who take up their entitlement in full and who may participate in any shortfall offer will have their percentage holding in Sunstone increased as a result of the Rights Issue.

While it is not possible for the directors to predict the outcome of the factors set out above, given the Rights Issue is structured as a pro-rata offer which is not underwritten, the Rights Issue itself is not expected to have a material effect or consequence on the control of Sunstone.
