About participating in the SPP Offer
Can I withdraw my
application if the market
price of the Shares fall
after I submit my
application?
Your Application may not be withdrawn once it is received by the
Company, even if the market price of Shares has fallen.
There is a risk that the Share price may rise or fall between the date
the SPP Offer commences and the date when New Shares are
allotted, or otherwise allocated, to you. This means that the price paid
by you under this SPP Offer may be either higher or lower than the
Share price at the time of the offer or at the time the New Shares are
allotted, or otherwise allocated, to you.
How much can I invest? Each Eligible Shareholder may participate in the SPP Offer by applying
for a parcel of New Shares in $2,500 increments from a minimum of
$2,500 to a maximum of $30,000.
$30,000 is the most an individual can apply for even if you receive
more than one Application Form. This is subject to scale back in
accordance with the SPP Offer terms.
As the SPP Offer is not a pro-rata offer, as long as you are an Eligible
Shareholder who held at least one Share at the Record Date, you will
be eligible to participate in the SPP Offer (subject to any scale back).
Am I able to accept
more than one offer?
If you receive more than one offer under the SPP Offer, for example,
because you hold Shares in more than one capacity, you may submit
more than one Application, using multiple Application Forms or the
personalised BPAY®customer reference number shown on the
Application Forms.
However, the total value of New Shares you may apply for, using one
or more Application Forms, cannot exceed $30,000.
Can I transfer my rights
to participate under the
SPP Offer to someone
else?
No, the offer to purchase New Shares under the SPP Offer is non-
renounceable. This means you cannot transfer your right to apply for
the New Shares to anyone else.
Will I receive the full
amount that I apply for?
The Company has the discretion as to the amount raised under the
SPP Offer, this includes reserving the right to scale back if applications
in excess of $3 million are received. This means you may not receive
the full parcel of New Shares for which you have applied.
New Shares will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.

6

If there is a scale back, the Company may in its absolute discretion
determine to apply a scale back to the extent and manner it sees fit.
The Company will announce any scale back it applies (if any) on the
ASX.
Will I receive interest on
returned Application
Money?
No interest will be paid on any Application Money returned to you,
including following any scale back.
How will any
Application Money not
applied to the New
Shares be returned to
me?
The payment method will be determined by the Company in its
absolute discretion. By applying for New Shares, each Shareholder
authorises the Company to pay any monies to be refunded using the
payment instructions of the Shareholder recorded in the Share Registry
records if the Company elects to pay in this manner.
If I receive a fraction of
a New Share, how will it
be rounded?
Any fractions of a New Share will be rounded up to the nearest whole
number.
How can I apply for New
Shares under the SPP
Offer?
The SPP terms and conditions (see section 2.10) and your
personalised Application Form set out details of how you can apply for
New Shares under the SPP Offer.
Should I participate in
the SPP Offer?
The offer to apply for New Shares is not a recommendation. If you are
in any doubt about the SPP Offer, whether you should participate in
the SPP Offer or how participation will affect you, you should consider
seeking professional financial and taxation advice before making a
decision as to whether or not to accept this offer.
