The number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in that 12 months under an exception contained in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval.

Equity securities which are issued under an exception contained in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval do not reduce the number of shares that may be issued by the Company under Listing Rule 7.1

Shareholder approval can be obtained either before or after the equity securities are issued.

Listing Rule 7.4 states that an issue by a company of equity securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 when made and the company's members subsequently approve it.

Under Resolution 1 the Company seeks approval from Shareholders for, and ratification of, the previous issue of equity securities as set out below and confirms that the issue did not breach the Company's 15% placement capacity at that time.
