3          We will indemnify ASX to the fullest extent permitted by law in respect of any claim, action or expense arising from or connected with any breach of the warranties in this agreement.

 

4          We give ASX the information and documents required by this form.  If any information or document is not available now, we will give it to ASX before +quotation of the +securities begins.  We acknowledge that ASX is relying on the information and documents.  We warrant that they are (will be) true and complete.

Appendix 3B - Annexure 1

 

Calculation of placement capacity under rule 7.1 and rule 7.1A for eligible entities

Introduced 01/08/12  Amended 04/03/13

 

Part 1

 

Rule 7.1 - Issues exceeding 15% of capital

Step 1: Calculate "A", the base figure from which the placement capacity is calculated

Insert number of fully paid +ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the +issue date or date of agreement to issue

7,595,830,782

Add the following:

•    Number of fully paid +ordinary securities issued in that 12 month period under an exception in rule 7.2

•    Number of fully paid +ordinary securities issued in that 12 month period with shareholder approval

•    Number of partly paid +ordinary securities that became fully paid in that 12 month period

Note:

•    Include only ordinary securities here - other classes of equity securities cannot be added

•    Include here (if applicable) the securities the subject of the Appendix 3B to which this form is annexed

•    It may be useful to set out issues of securities on different dates as separate line items

 

Subtract the number of fully paid +ordinary securities cancelled during that 12 month period

 

"A"

7,595,830,782

 

 

Step 2: Calculate 15% of "A"

"B"

0.15

[Note: this value cannot be changed]

Multiply "A" by 0.15

1,139,374,617

Step 3: Calculate "C", the amount of placement capacity under rule 7.1 that has already been used

Insert number of +equity securities issued or agreed to be issued in that 12 month period not counting those issued:

•    Under an exception in rule 7.2

•    Under rule 7.1A

•    With security holder approval under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4

Note:

•    This applies to equity securities, unless specifically excluded - not just ordinary securities

•    Include here (if applicable) the securities the subject of the Appendix 3B to which this form is annexed

•    It may be useful to set out issues of securities on different dates as separate line items

909,090,910 (being the securities issued subject to this Appendix 3B)

"C"

909,090,910

Step 4: Subtract "C" from ["A" x "B"] to calculate remaining placement capacity under rule 7.1

"A" x 0.15

Note: number must be same as shown in Step 2

1,139,374,617

Subtract "C"

Note: number must be same as shown in Step 3

909,090,910

Total ["A" x 0.15] - "C"

230,283,707

[Note: this is the remaining placement capacity under rule 7.1]

 

Part 2

 

Rule 7.1A - Additional placement capacity for eligible entities

Step 1: Calculate "A", the base figure from which the placement capacity is calculated

"A"

Note: number must be same as shown in Step 1 of Part 1

 

Step 2: Calculate 10% of "A"

"D"

0.10

Note: this value cannot be changed

Multiply "A" by 0.10

 

Step 3: Calculate "E", the amount of placement capacity under rule 7.1A that has already been used

Insert number of +equity securities issued or agreed to be issued in that 12 month period under rule 7.1A

Notes:

•    This applies to equity securities - not just ordinary securities

•    Include here - if applicable - the securities the subject of the Appendix 3B to which this form is annexed

•    Do not include equity securities issued under rule 7.1 (they must be dealt with in Part 1), or for which specific security holder approval has been obtained

•    It may be useful to set out issues of securities on different dates as separate line items

 

"E"

 

 

 

Step 4: Subtract "E" from ["A" x "D"] to calculate remaining placement capacity under rule 7.1A

"A" x 0.10

Note: number must be same as shown in Step 2

 

Subtract "E"

Note: number must be same as shown in Step 3

 

Total ["A" x 0.10] - "E"

 

Note: this is the remaining placement capacity under rule 7.1A
