Eligible Retail Shareholders can choose to take up all, or part or none of their Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer.
In addition to each Eligible Retail Shareholder's Entitlement under the Retail Entitlement Offer, Eligible Retail Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to apply for additional New Shares under a Shortfall Facility. Eligible Retail Shareholders are not assured of being allocated any New Shares in excess of their Entitlement under the Shortfall Facility. The Company retains absolute discretion regarding allocation under the Shortfall Facility.
If Eligible Retail Shareholders take no action, they will not be allocated New Shares and their Entitlements will lapse. Eligible Retail Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements in full under the Retail Entitlement Offer will not receive any value or payment for those Entitlements they do not take up. The Retail Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and cannot be traded on ASX or any other exchange, nor can it be privately transferred.
Existing Shareholders with a registered address outside Australia and New Zealand on the Record Date or who are acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States will be ineligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.
This notice is to inform you about the Retail Entitlement Offer and explain why you will not be able to subscribe for New Shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer.
Why am I not eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer?

-

-

Shareholders who are not Eligible Retail Shareholders are ineligible retail shareholders (Ineligible Retail Shareholders).
The restrictions upon eligibility under the Entitlement Offer arise because of legal and regulatory requirements in countries other than those listed above and the potential costs to the Company and complexity of complying with these legal and regulatory requirements compared to the relatively small number of shareholders in those countries, the relatively small number of existing

Company shares they hold and the relatively low value of the New Shares to which those shareholders would otherwise be entitled.
The Company has determined, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) of the ASX Listing Rules and section 9A of the Corporations Act as modified by ASIC Instrument, that it would be unreasonable to make or extend the offer to shareholders in certain countries under the Entitlement Offer.
According to our records, you do not satisfy the eligibility criteria above for an Eligible Retail Shareholder and accordingly you are an Ineligible Retail Shareholder and the Company wishes to advise that in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1 (b) and section 9A(3) of the Corporations Act, the Entitlement Offer will not be extended to you and you will not be able to subscribe for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer.
