1.2 Important Notes

This Prospectus is dated 16 April 2025 and was lodged with the ASIC on that date. The ASIC, ASX and their respective officers take no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or the merits of the investment to which this Prospectus relates.

No New Options may be issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than 13 months after the date of this Prospectus.

The Offer is only available to Share Placement Participants. Share Placement Participants are persons or entities that subscribed for and were issued Shares under the placement announced to ASX on 26 November 2024, together with the lead manager (Peak Asset Management) and the Company’s advisor (Viaticus Capital) and their respective nominees to the November 2024 Placement. Applications for New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus can only be submitted on an original Application Form which accompanies this Prospectus.

This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of options to acquire continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus. In making representations in this Prospectus regard has been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom potential investors may consult.

1.3 Website

A copy of this Prospectus can be downloaded from the website of the Company at www.whitehawk.com. If you are accessing the electronic version of this Prospectus for the purpose of making an investment in the Company, you must be an Australian resident and must only access this Prospectus from within Australia.

The Corporations Act prohibits any person passing onto another person an Application Form unless it is attached to a hard copy of this Prospectus or it accompanies the complete and unaltered version of this Prospectus. Any person may obtain a hard copy of this Prospectus free of charge by contacting the Company.

The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.

1.4 Risk Factors

Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for New Options in the Company involves a number of risks. The key risk factors of which investors should be aware are set out in Section 5 of this Prospectus. These risks together with other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities not specifically referred to, may affect the value of

1

the New Options in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. Investors should consider consulting their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Options pursuant to this Prospectus.

1.5

Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Options.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the three months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

Please refer to Section 6.2 for further details.

1.6

Overseas Investors

The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and therefore persons into whose possession this document comes should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with these restrictions constitutes a violation of those laws. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of New Options in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would be unlawful to issue in this Prospectus.

1.7 Target Market Determination

In accordance with the design and distribution obligations under the Corporations Act, the Company has determined the target market for the offer of New Options issued under this Prospectus. The Company will only distribute this Prospectus to those investors who fall within the target market determination ( TMD ) as set out on the Company’s website (www.whitehawk.com).

By making an application under the Offer, you warrant that you have understood the TMD and that you fall within the target market set out in the TMD.

1.8

• (iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options.

4.2 Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to Shares that may be issued subject to exercise of the New Options. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

(a) General meeting and notices

Each member is entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to members under the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at a general meeting of the Company:

• (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

• (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

• (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

10

(c) Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

(d)

Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

(e) Shareholder liability

As the Shares issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(f) Transfer of shares

Generally, shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

(g) Future increase in capital

The issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.

(h)

Variation of rights

Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.

11

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

(i) Alteration of constitution

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

5. RISK FACTORS

5.1 Introduction

The New Options offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Options pursuant to this Prospectus.

There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this Section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the New Options.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

5.2 Company specific

(a) Technology Risk

WhiteHawk’s market involves rapidly evolving products and technological change. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to engage in research and development at the requisite levels. The Company cannot assure investors that it will successfully identify new technological opportunities and continue to have the needed financial resources to develop new products in a timely or cost-effective manner. At the same time, products, services and technologies developed by others may render the Company’s products and services obsolete or noncompetitive.

(b) Research and Development and Technical Risk

WhiteHawk’s products and services are the subject of continuous research and development and necessarily need to be substantially developed further in order to gain and maintain competitive and technological advantage, and in order to meaningfully improve the products’ and services’ usability, scalability and accuracy. There are no guarantees that the Company will be able to undertake such research and development successfully. Failure to successfully undertake such research and development, anticipate technical problems, or estimate research and development costs or timeframes accurately will adversely affect the Company’s results and viability.

(c) Intellectual Property Rights

A substantial part of the Company's commercial success will depend on its ability to establish and protect WhiteHawk’s intellectual property to maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.

Further, the commercial value of the Company’s intellectual property assets is dependent on any relevant legal protections. These legal mechanisms, however, do not guarantee that the intellectual property will be protected or that the Company's competitive position will be maintained. No assurance can be given that employees or third parties will not breach confidentiality agreements, infringe or misappropriate the Company's intellectual property or commercially sensitive information, or that competitors will not be able to produce non-infringing competitive products. Competition in retaining and sustaining protection of technologies and the complex nature of technologies can lead to expensive and lengthy disputes for which there can be no guaranteed outcome. There can be no assurance that any intellectual property which the Company (or entities it deals with) may have an interest in now or in the future will afford the Company commercially significant protection of technologies, or that any of the projects that may arise from technologies will have commercial applications.

13

It is possible that third parties may assert intellectual property infringement, unfair competition or like claims against the Company under copyright, trade secret, patent, or other laws. While the Company is not aware of any claims of this nature in relation to any of the intellectual property rights in which it has or will acquire an interest, such claims, if made, may harm, directly or indirectly, the Company's business. If the Company is forced to defend claims of intellectual property infringement, whether they are with or without merit or are determined in the Company's favour, the costs of such litigation will be potentially significant and may divert management's attention from normal commercial operations.

Additionally, securing rights to (or developing) technologies complementing WhiteHawk’s existing intellectual property will also play an important part in the commercial success of the Company. There is no guarantee that such rights can be secured or such technologies can be developed.

(d)

Data loss, theft or corruption

WhiteHawk stores data in its own systems and networks and also with a variety of third party service providers. Corruption, theft or loss of the data as a result of misuse, exploitation or hacking of any of these systems or networks could lead to corruption, theft or loss of the data which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results. Further, if WhiteHawk’s systems, networks or technology are subject to any type of ‘cyber’ crime, its technology may be perceived as unsecure which may lead to a decrease in the number of customers.

(e)

Reliance on Key Personnel Risk

The Company depends on the expertise, experience and efforts of its executive officers and other key employees. A failure to attract and retain executive, business development, technical and other key personnel could reduce the Company’s revenues and operational effectiveness. There is a continuing demand for relevant qualified personnel, and the Company believes that its future growth and success will depend upon its ability to attract, train and retain such personnel. Competition for personnel in the Company’s industry is intense, and there is a limited number of persons with knowledge of, and experience in, this industry. An inability to attract or maintain a sufficient number of requisite personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s performance or on the Company’s ability to capitalise on market opportunities.

(f)

Foreign exchange

The Company will be operating in a variety of jurisdictions and as such, expects to generate revenue and incur costs and expenses in more than one currency. Consequently, movements in currency exchange rates may adversely or beneficially affect the Company’s results or operations and cash flows. Any depreciation of currencies in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates may result in lower than anticipated revenue, profit and earnings of the Company.

(g)

Climate

There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the operations and proposed activities of the Company. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include:

• (i) the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its business viability. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts,

14

there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences; and

(ii)

climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates.

5.3 Industry specific

(a) User experience risk

The Company's business model is based on recurring revenue arising from customers. A poor user experience may not necessarily be anticipated and may affect growth of customer numbers and repeat purchases or ongoing contracts with the Company for use of its software services. Factors which may contribute to poor customer experience include:

(i) ease of setting up and commencing use of the products offered;

• (ii) simplicity and reliability of customer usage; and

• (iii) quality of services provided.

Poor user experiences may result in the loss of customers, adverse publicity, litigation, regulatory enquiries and customers reducing the use of the Company's products. If any of these occur, it may adversely impact the Company's revenues.

(b) Scalability

Scalability is the key to any company that is looking at a potential global market. While the Company believes that the WhiteHawk Exchange, other products, software and its service architecture have been built for scalability, there are no guarantees that its products will be able to meet future demand and requirements of consumers.

(c) Information technology risk

With any technical project there are risks with the chosen technology, vendors and employees and in execution. Whilst WhiteHawk has employed and engaged subject-matter experts, employs experienced persons, standard security technologies and approaches there are risks that delivery will fail to meet expectations or deadlines, that technologies become obsolete, natural disasters occur, the Company is the subject of a fraud or malicious attack or platforms are compromised resulting in a negative impact on the Company’s performance.

(d) Reliance on third party providers

The Company intends to develop its products so that they can be utilised with a number of operating systems, internet platforms and other hardware devices. While the Company will therefore depend on its products being able to operate on a range of systems, platforms and devices, it is unable to control third party developers of such systems. Any changes to external platforms, systems or devices that give preference to competing products or adversely impact on the functionality of the Company’s products may render consumers less likely to use the Company’s products, which may have a detrimental impact on the Company’s financial performance. Likewise, the Company’s products are predicated on consumers being able to access the internet and cellular networks. If third party providers raise the cost of these networks or restrict the ability of consumers to access these networks via the Company’s products, this is likely to detrimentally affect the Company’s financial performance.

15

(e) Brand risks

WhiteHawk has established its trademarks. The Company believes that to have global branding is critical for the long term success of its business. Negative commentary or a complaint regardless of accuracy via social media, media in general and or word of mouth may have a damaging impact on the ability of the Company to reach its potential, and may not necessarily be based on accurate data or real experience.

(f)

Future capital requirements

There is no certainty regarding the ability of the Company to raise sufficient funds to meet its needs into the future. The Company’s future capital requirements depend on a number of factors including the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations. The Company may need to raise additional capital from equity or debt sources due to unforeseen circumstances. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such capital on favourable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms the Company may not be able to develop its business and this may have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations.

(g)

Regulatory compliance

The Company is required to comply with the laws governing privacy, taxation and consumer trade practices in each jurisdiction in which it operates. The Company may be subject to other laws in jurisdictions in which it plans to operate and the applicable laws may change from time to time.

These laws and applicable regulations give rise to risks and compliance costs for the Company. Non-compliance with such regulations, changes in the interpretation of current regulations, loss or failure to secure renewal of an accreditation, or the introduction of new laws or regulations may lead to fines imposed on the Company by the relevant regulatory authority or Governmental body, revocation of permits or licenses, or damage to the Company’s reputation and may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s costs, business model and competitive environment and therefore could materially adversely affect the Company’s future financial performance and position.

(h)

Doing business outside of Australia

The Company currently has all of its operations in the USA. For operational reasons the company may also establish operations in other jurisdictions.

Wherever the Company sets up operations the Company is exposed to a range of multi-jurisdictional risks such as risks relating to currency exchange rates, labour practices, environmental matters, difficulty in enforcing contracts, changes to or uncertainty in the relevant legal and regulatory regime (including in relation to taxation and foreign investment and practices of government and regulatory authorities) and other issues in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Businesses that operate across multiple jurisdictions face additional complexities from the unique business requirements in each jurisdiction.

Management experience will help to mitigate, but will not remove, this risk.

(i) Insurance

The Company seeks to maintain appropriate policies of insurance consistent with those customarily carried by organisations in their industry sector. Any increase in the cost of the insurance policies of the Company or the industry in which they operate could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and operational results. The Company’s insurance coverage may also be inadequate to cover losses it sustains. Uninsured loss or a loss in excess of the Company’s insured limits could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and operational results.

16

(j) Contractual disputes

The Company's business model is dependent in part on contractual agreements with third parties that have an interaction with the Company's target market. The Company is aware that there are associated risks when dealing with third parties including but not limited to insolvency, fraud and management failure. Should a third party contract fail, there is the potential for negative financial and brand damage for the Company.

(k) Credit risks

The Company will be exposed to credit risks relating to delayed or nonpayments from its customers. A failure by the Company to adequately assess and manage credit risk may result in credit losses potentially resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating and financial performance, including decreased operating cash flows.

5.4 General risks

(a) General economic conditions

Economic conditions, both domestic and global, may affect the performance of the Company. Factors such as fluctuations in currencies, commodity prices, inflation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption may have an impact on operating costs and share market prices. The Company's future possible revenues and Share price can be affected by these factors, all of which are beyond the control of the Company or its Directors.

(b) Equity market conditions

Securities listed on the stock market can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. The market price of Shares may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general.

General factors that may affect the market price of Shares include economic conditions in both Australia and internationally (particularly Australian, US and Chinese economic conditions), investor sentiment, local and international share market conditions, changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation, variations in commodity prices, the global security situation and the possibility of terrorist disturbances, changes to government regulation, policy or legislation, changes which may occur to the taxation of companies as a result of changes in Australian and foreign taxation laws, changes to the system of dividend imputation in Australia, and changes in exchange rates.

(c) Change in government policy and legislation

Any material adverse changes in relevant government policies or legislation of Australia may affect the viability and profitability of the Company, and consequent returns to investors. The activities of the Company are subject to various federal, state and local laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health and safety, and other matters.

5.5 Speculative investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Options offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the New Options to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those New Options.

17

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Options pursuant to this Prospectus.

18

6. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• 6.1 Litigation

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

6.2 Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.

This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms a “transaction specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:

• (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

• (b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and

• (c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

• (i) the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with the ASIC;

• (ii) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with the ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC; and

• (iii) any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company or an ASIC office during normal office hours.

6.9 Electronic Prospectus

ASIC has exempted compliance with certain provisions of the Corporations Act to allow distribution of an electronic prospectus and electronic application form on the basis of a paper prospectus lodged with the ASIC, and the publication of notices referring to an electronic prospectus or electronic application form, subject to compliance with certain conditions.

If you have received this Prospectus as an electronic Prospectus, please ensure that you have received the entire Prospectus accompanied by the Application Form. If you have not, please email the Company on investor@whitehawk.com, or phone the Company on +61 8 6311 4636 and the Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of the Prospectus, or both.

The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or Prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.

6.10 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company will not be issuing Share certificates. The Company is a participant in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of New Options issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

6.11 Privacy Act

If you complete an application for New Options, you will be providing personal information to the Company. The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a Shareholder, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder and carry out administration.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company’s Share Registry.

You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for New Options, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.
