Operative provisions

1 Shares and variation of rights

Nature of Company

  • 1.1 The Company is a public company. It is limited by shares.

Issue of shares

  • 1.2 Subject to the Listing Rules, the directors have sole power to issue shares or options to buy or subscribe for shares in the Company. Subject to this document, the Corporations Act 2001 and the Listing Rules, shares and options in the Company may be issued on any conditions as determined by the directors.

Number of shareholders

  • 1.3 There is no limit on the number of shareholders the Company may have.

Price on issue

  • 1.4 The directors may issue and allot shares in the Company at any price they consider appropriate.

Issue of classes of shares

  • 1.5 Subject to this document, the directors may issue classes of shares in the Company as they think fit with preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions, and with such rights to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise and at such price as the directors think fit. An issue of shares under this clause is without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of any existing shares or class of shares but is subject to the Corporations Act 2001 and the Listing Rules.

Non-variation of rights

  • 1.6 The rights conferred on the holders of the shares of any class are deemed not to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking equally with them unless otherwise expressly provided by the conditions of issue of the shares of that class.

Variation of rights

  • 1.7 The Company can only vary the rights attaching to a class of shares if one of the following applies:

  • 1.7.1 the holders of 75% of the shares issued in that class consent to the variation in writing; or

  • 1.7.2 a special resolution is passed at a general meeting of the holders of that class of shares allowing the variation to be made.

Constitution

However, this clause does not apply if the terms on which shares in that class were issued state otherwise.

Redeemable preference shares

  • 1.8 The directors may issue preference shares subject to the Corporations Act 2001 and the Listing Rules on the condition that they are to be redeemed or at the option of the Company are liable to be redeemed in accordance with conditions set by the directors. These conditions cannot be altered by the directors.

Holder's right to participate in profits and property

  • 1.9 The holder of a redeemable preference share has each of the following rights:

  • 1.9.1 the right to a preferential dividend in priority to the payment of any dividend on any other class of shares; and

  • 1.9.2 the right in a winding up, reduction of capital and on redemption, to payment in cash equally among holders of the same class of preference shares, and in priority to any other class of shares in return of capital and in priority in respect of the amount of any dividend declared but unpaid on the share at that time.

The holder has no other right to participate in the profits or property of the Company. Holder's other rights

  • 1.10 The holder of a redeemable preference share has the same right as the holder of an ordinary share to receive notice of a meeting, to receive a copy of any documents sent to members or to be laid before that meeting, and to attend that meeting.

  • 1.11 The holder may only vote in the following circumstances:

  • 1.11.1 during a period during which a dividend (or part of a dividend) in respect of the share is in arrears;

  • 1.11.2 on a proposal to reduce the Company's share capital;

  • 1.11.3 on a resolution to approve the terms of a buy-back agreement;

  • 1.11.4 on a proposal that affects rights attached to the share;

  • 1.11.5 on a proposal to wind up the Company;

  • 1.11.6 on a proposal for the disposal of the whole of the Company's property, business and undertaking; and

  • 1.11.7 during the winding up of the Company. Redemption of redeemable preference shares

  • 1.12 A redeemable preference share may only be redeemed if it has been fully paid. It may be redeemed on a date set by the directors. If the directors do not set a date, it is redeemable 5 years after the date it was issued.

Constitution

2 Brokerage and commission

Power to pay brokerage and commission

  • 2.1 Subject to the Corporations Act 2001, the Company may pay a commission to a person who agrees to buy shares or arrange for others to buy them. it must not exceed 10% of the price to be paid for the shares and may be paid in cash, in shares, or both.

Disclosure of commission

  • 2.2 Before the commission becomes payable, the Company must lodge a statement with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission disclosing the amount of the commission.

3 Shares held on trust or jointly

Registered holders treated as absolute owners

  • 3.1 Except as required by law, the Company may treat the registered holder of a share as the absolute owner of the share.

Non-recognition of other interests

  • 3.2 Except where this constitution or the Corporations Act 2001 slates otherwise, the only interest in shares that the Company must recognise is the registered shareholder's absolute right to the whole of the share. The Company will not recognise that a person holds a share on trust for someone else. Nor will it recognise a contingent, future or partial interest in any share or part of a share.

Joint holders

  • 3.3 If 2 or more persons are registered as the holders of a share they are taken to hold the share as joint tenants with rights of survivorship and on the basis that:

  • 3.3.1 they or their respective legal personal representatives are liable jointly and severally for all payments due in respect of the share;

  • 3.3.2 subject to the preceding paragraph, on the death of any one of them, the survivor or survivors are the only person or persons whom the Company may recognise as having any interest in the share. The directors may require any evidence of death of any registered holder as they think fit;

  • 3.3.3 any registered holder may give an effective receipt for any dividend or other distribution.

No more than 3 persons are entitled to be registered as the holders of a share.

4 Certificates

Entitlement to certificates

Constitution

  • 4.1 The Company must give a registered shareholder (whose shares are not held as an uncertificated holding), free of charge, a share certificate marked with the company seal in respect of his or her shares. However, if the Company does not maintain a company seal the certificate must be signed by either:

  • 4.1.1 two directors; or

  • 4.1.2 a director and the secretary.

  • 4.2 The directors may permit a shareholder's holding to be held as an uncertificated holding under the SCH business rules and they must do so if the Listing Rules or the SCH business rules require that shares are to be held as uncertificated holdings.

  • 4.3 If all the shares in a class are to be held only as uncertificated holdings under the SCH business rules, the Company need not provide a share certificate to the shareholder but must provide the shareholder with a statement of the shareholder's holding in accordance with the SCH business rules and the Listing Rules. If the Company operates an issuer sponsored sub-register, it must allocate a unique SRN for each holding of shares. A member may have more than one holding each of which will have a unique SRN. Each new holding of shares on the issuer sponsored subregister must be allocated a unique SRN for that holding.

Delivery to joint holders

  • 4.4 If shares are jointly owned, it is sufficient to give a share certificate to one of the joint shareholders.

  • 5 Lien

Lien on unpaid capital

  • 5.1 The Company has a first and paramount lien on every security for all money due which has been called or is payable by instalment in respect of that security.

  • Lien on other money owing

  • 5.2 The Company also has a first and paramount lien on securities for all money:

  • 5.2.1 owing to the Company on securities acquired under an employee incentive scheme in relation to their acquisition;

  • 5.2.2 which the Company is required by law to pay and which has been paid in respect of securities of a member or of the estate of a deceased member.

Lien to apply to dividends

  • 5.3 The Company's lien (if any) on a security extends to all dividends payable in respect of the security and reasonable interest and expenses incurred because the amount is not paid.

Uncertificated Shares

  • 5.4 While the Company has a lien on any shares held on a CHESS sub-register, the Company must, if

Constitution

required, give notice that a holding lock is to be applied in the form and manner set out in the SCH business rules.

Company's right of sale

  • 5.5 Subject to clause 5.6, the directors may sell any shares on which the Company has a lien in such manner as they think fit.

Restrictions on sale

  • 5.6 The directors must not sell a share on which the Company has a lien unless:

  • 5.6.1 a sum in respect of which the lien exists is payable; and

  • 5.6.2 the Company has given notice in writing to the registered holder of the share, demanding immediate payment of the amount presently payable in respect of which the lien exists. The notice must be given at least 30 days before the date of the sale to the registered holder of the share or to the person entitled to the share by reason of death or bankruptcy. If the share is part of an uncertificated holding, the notice must comply with the requirements of the SCH business rules and the Listing Rules.

Effect of sale of shares over which the Company has lien

  • 5.7 If the directors sell shares over which the Company has a lien, the directors must authorise the transfer of those shares to the purchaser. The directors must register the purchaser as the shareholder. The purchaser has no responsibility to oversee the Company's use of the purchase money, and his or her right to the shares is not affected by any irregularity in the sale.

Proceeds of sale

  • 5.8 The Company may retain from the proceeds of the sale an amount up to the amount immediately payable on the shares. It must pay any excess to the person who was entitled to the shares immediately before the sale after deducting any amount that still remains unpaid on the shares, whether it is immediately payable or not.

6 Calls on shares Payments due on fixed dates

  • 6.1 If shares are issued on the basis that the shareholder must make payments on fixed dates, the happening of one of those dates is regarded as a call on that date and all the provisions relating to calls apply.

Calls

  • 6.2 If a shareholder has not paid the full price of shares, and the money is not payable at fixed times, the directors may pass a resolution requiring the shareholder to pay a certain amount (a 'call') in relation to the shares. The call may be made payable either in a single sum or by instalments.

Notification of call

  • 6.3 If the directors make a call then, subject to the Listing Rules, they must notify the

Constitution

affected shareholders in writing at least 30 days before the payment is due. The notification must specify the amount, time and date of the payment and any other matters required by the Listing Rules.

Revocation of call

  • 6.4 If permitted by the Listing Rules, the directors may revoke or postpone a call or extend the time for payment of any call.

Deemed time of call

  • 6.5 A call is deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the directors authorising the call was passed.

Liability of Joint holders

  • 6.6 The owners of a share that is held jointly are jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect of that share. This means that the Company may recover the call amount from any one or more of the joint holders, but must not obtain more than the amount of the call from those joint holders.

Interest on outstanding sums

  • 6.7 If a sum called in respect of a share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment of the sum, the person from whom the sum is due must pay interest at the rate specified in the notice given under clause 6.3 not exceeding 10% per annum calculated from the day appointed for payment of the sum to the time of actual payment. The directors may waive payment of interest wholly or in part.

Differentiation between holders

  • 6.8 On the issue of shares, the directors may differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment.

Pre-payment of calls

  • 6.9 If a shareholder owes the Company money on shares but no call has yet been made, the shareholder and the directors may agree that the shareholder lend some or all of this money to the Company. The Company must pay the shareholder interest at the rate fixed by the Company by resolution or in any other case at the rate of 10% on the money lent until a call is made and the money becomes payable.

Suspension of privileges

  • 6.10 Until a call, together with any interest and expenses has been paid, the shareholder is not entitled to receive any dividend or bonus or to be present and vote at any meeting (other than as proxy for another shareholder) either personally or by proxy or by authorised corporate representative. The shareholder may not be counted in a quorum or exercise any other privilege as a shareholder.

Constitution

Refusal to register

Constitution

  • 8.4.1 where a law relating to stamp duty prohibits the Company from registering it;

  • 8.4.2 where the Company has a lien on the securities in accordance with the Listing Rules;

  • 8.4.3 if it is served with a court order that restricts the holder's capacity to transfer the shares or other securities (as the case may be); or

  • 8.4.4 in any circumstances permitted by the Listing Rules.

  • 8.5 The directors must refuse to register a transfer of shares:

  • 8.5.1 if the shares are classified under the Listing Rules or by the ASX as restricted securities and the transfer is or might be in breach of the Listing Rules or any escrow agreement entered into by the Company under the Listing Rules in relation to those shares; or

  • 8.5.2 where the Company or the directors are required to do so by the Listing Rules.

  • 8.8 Upon every transfer of shares, the certificate held by the transferor must be given up and cancelled. A new certificate will be issued without charge to the transferee in respect of the shares transferred, and if any of the shares included in the certificate given up are retained by the transferor, a new certificate shall be issued to the transferor in respect of those shares without charge. The Company shall retain the instrument of transfer.

  • 8.9 If the Company participates in a share transfer system conducted in accordance with the Listing Rules, then share transfers must be registered in accordance with the Listing Rules and the SCH business rules.

  • 8.10 The Company may participate in any share transfer system conducted in accordance with the Listing Rules which does not depend upon the issue or production of share certificates in respect of the shares.

  • 8.11 For a transfer of an uncertificated holding of shares, the procedure is the same as for

Constitution

certificated holding of shares, except that the written transfer instrument need not be accompanied by a certificate. if the Company operates an issuer sponsored sub-register, it must issue a statement for each new holding as a result of the transfer in accordance with the Listing Rules.

When transfer books and register may be closed

  • 8.12 Subject to the Corporations Act 2001, the registration of transfers of shares that are not CHESS Approved Securities may be suspended and the register closed. The directors must give notice by advertisement of the closure in an appointed newspaper. The Company must give the ASX notice of any intended closure in accordance with the Listing Rules. The register shall not be closed for any time or times exceeding a total of thirty days in any year.

  • 8.13 The Company must process proper SCH transfers affecting sub-registers administered by the Company on all business days.

9 Transmission of shares Recognised interests

  • 9.1 If a shareholder dies, the only persons that the Company will recognise as having any right to the deceased's shares are:

  • 9.1.1 his or her legal personal representative or

  • 9.1.2 where the shares are held jointly, any joint holder of those shares.

  • 9.2 The deceased person's estate will still be subject to any liabilities which attached to the shares, even if the deceased was only a joint holder of shares.

  • 9.3 If two or more persons are jointly entitled to the deceased's shares, those persons will be regarded as joint holders of the shares.

Transmission

  • 9.4 A person entitled to a share because of death or bankruptcy of a member may elect either to be registered as holder of the share or to have some other person nominated to be registered as the transferee of the share. A person relying on this clause must produce any information properly required by the directors. This clause is subject to the Bankruptcy Act 1966.

  • 9.5 A person relying on clause 9.4 must elect in writing to the Company to be registered.

  • 9.6 A person electing under clause 9.4 to have another person registered must deliver to the Company an executed transfer of the share to that other person.

  • 9.7 The provisions of this constitution relating to the right to transfer, and the registration of transfers of shares apply to any notice or transfer as if the death or bankruptcy of the member has not occurred and the notice or transfer were a transfer signed by that member.

Personal representatives and joint holders

Constitution

  • 9.8 If a shareholder dies or becomes bankrupt, his or her personal representative or trustee is entitled to receive any dividends and other benefits that the shareholder would have been entitled to and to exercise the same rights as the shareholder. The directors may require production of any information that is properly required by the directors.

  • 9.9 Where 2 or more persons are jointly entitled to any share due to the death of the registered holder, for the purpose of this constitution, they are deemed to be joint holders of the share.

10 Forfeiture of shares

Procedure for forfeiture

  • 10.1 If a shareholder fails to pay a call or another amount that is payable on shares on the due date, the directors may notify the shareholder that they require payment of the amount, together with any interest that has accrued, on or before a specified date. The date for payment must be at least 30 days after the shareholder receives the notice.

  • 10.2 If the notice states that the shares in respect of which the amount is due may be forfeited if payment is not made on time, and the amount is not paid on time, the directors may resolve that the shareholder has forfeited those shares. They can only do so before the amount is paid.

  • 10.3 If the forfeited shares are entered on the CHESS sub-register, the Company may take steps to move the share to a sub-register administered by the Company. The forfeiture is effective at the time the share is entered in that sub-register.

Application to dividends

  • 10.4 A forfeiture under clause 10.2 includes all dividends and bonuses declared and not paid in respect of the forfeited shares before the date on which the resolution as to forfeiture referred to in that clause is passed.

Rights of sale

  • 10.5 A forfeited share shall be deemed to be the property of the Company. Subject to the Listing Rules and the SCH business rules, a forfeited share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the directors think fit. At any time before the sale or disposition, the forfeiture may be cancelled on terms as the directors think fit.

Cessation as a member

  • 10.6 A person whose shares have been forfeited ceases to be a member in respect of the forfeited shares.

  • 10.7 Despite forfeiture, a member whose shares are forfeited remains liable to pay to the Company all money that, at the date of forfeiture, was payable by the member to the Company in respect of the shares (including interest not exceeding 10% per year from the date of forfeiture on the money for the time being unpaid if the directors think fit to enforce payment of the interest).

Constitution

  • 10.8 The former member's liability ceases if and when the Company receives payment in full of all money (including interest) so payable in respect of the forfeited shares.

Evidence of forfeiture

  • 10.9 A statutory declaration signed by a director or secretary of the Company stating that the person making the declaration is a director or secretary of the Company, and specifying that particular shares in the Company have been forfeited on a particular date, is satisfactory evidence of their forfeiture.

Manner of forfeiture

  • 10.10 The Company is entitled to the money from the sale. The Company may transfer the shares to the purchaser or person to whom they are disposed of, and register the purchaser as the shareholder. That person has no responsibility to oversee the Company's use of the purchase money, and his or her right to the shares is not affected by any irregularity in the forfeiture or any proceedings relating to the disposal of the shares.

Residue on sale

  • 10.11 If any shares are forfeited and sold at public auction, any residue after the satisfaction of the unpaid calls, instalments and accrued interest and expenses must be held in trust until paid to the person whose shares have been forfeited, or the person's executors, administrators, or assigns, or as the person directs and must be paid in accordance with the Listing Rules.

Certificates

  • 10.12 The shareholder must deliver to the Company the certificate or certificates held in respect of any forfeited shares and in any event the certificates representing forfeited shares are void and of no further effect.

Application to further calls

  • 10.13 The clauses as to forfeiture apply to non-payment of any sum that, by the conditions of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time, as if that sum had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

11 Annual General Meetings

  • 11.1 The Company must hold an annual general meeting each year in addition to any other meetings. No more than 18 months may lapse between each annual general meeting.

Nature of business

  • 11.2 The Company should consider the following at an annual general meeting:

  • 11.2.1 the accounts;

  • 11.2.2 the balance sheets;

Constitution

  • 11.2.3 the directors' and auditor's reports;

  • 11.2.4 the election of directors in place of retiring directors; and

  • 11.2.5 the appointment of the Company auditor and the fixing of the auditor's remuneration.

12 General meetings

Power to convene

  • 12.1 Any director may convene a general meeting whenever he or she thinks fit.

Power to postpone
