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 not available now, will give it to ASX before +quotation of the +securities begins.

Insert number of fully paid +ordinary

securities on issue 12 months before the +issue

date or date of agreement to issue

 

  

 

1,389,839,964

  

 

Add the following:

 

       
•    

Number of fully paid +ordinary securities

“A” x 0.15

 

Note: number must be same as shown in Step 2

 

  

 

298,591,314

  

 

Subtract “C”

 

Note: number must be same as shown in Step 3
