Any brokerage or commission may be paid or satisfied in cash, Shares, debentures or other securities of the Company or otherwise as the Directors determine.

3 Certificates

Certificated holdings

3.1 The provisions of this clause 3 apply only to the extent that the Company is required by the Act, the Listing Rules or the Settlement Rules to issue certificates for Shares or other marketable securities of the Company, and then only for those Shares or other marketable securities for which certificates are required to be issued.

Issue of certificates

3.2 Subject to this Constitution, where the Company is required by the Act, the Listing Rules or the Settlement Rules to issue certificates for Shares or other marketable securities of the Company, the certificates must be issued in accordance with the Act, the Listing Rules and Settlement Rules and must include all information required by the Act, the Listing Rules and Settlement Rules.

Entitlement of Member to certificate

Cancellation of certificate on transfer

3.5 Subject to this Constitution, on every application to register the transfer of any Shares or other marketable securities or to register any person as a Member in respect of any Shares or other marketable securities which may have been transmitted to that person by operation of law, the certificate for those Shares or other marketable securities must be delivered up to the Company for cancellation.

3.6 The Company must issue a new certificate in similar form specifying the Shares or other marketable securities transferred or transmitted and deliver it to the transferee or transmittee within 5 business days after the registrable transfer or transmission notice is lodged with the Company.

3.7 If registration is required for some only of the Shares or other marketable securities specified on the certificate delivered up to the Company, a new certificate specifying the Shares or other marketable securities remaining untransferred or untransmitted must be delivered to the transferor.

Replacement of certificates

3.8 The Company must issue a replacement certificate:

(a) if the certificate is worn out or defaced, on production of the certificate to the Company to be replaced and cancelled; or

(b) if the certificate is lost or destroyed, on the Company being furnished with:

3.9 The Company must issue all replacement certificates within 5 business days after receiving the original certificate or evidence of loss or destruction.

Participation in CHESS

4.1 While the Company is admitted to the Official List it must participate in CHESS to the extent required by the Listing Rules.

Compliance with Settlement Rules

4.2 The Company must comply with the Settlement Rules if any of its securities are CHESS approved securities.

Registers

4.3 If the Company’s securities are CHESS approved securities, in addition to the CHESS sub register, the Company must provide for an issuer sponsored sub register, or a certificated sub register, or both (at least if the Company has Restricted Securities on issue).

No interference with proper ASTC transfer

4.4 The Company must not prevent, delay or interfere with the generation of a proper ASTC transfer or the registration of a paper-based transfer in registrable form (which satisfies the requirements of clause 8), except as permitted by clause 8.4, the Listing Rules or Settlement Rules.

5 Lien

Lien

5.1 The Company has a first and paramount lien on every Share for:

(a) unpaid calls and instalments on those Shares;

(b) if the Shares were acquired under an employee incentive scheme, any amount owing to the Company for acquiring those Shares; and

(c) any amount the Company is required by law to pay (and has paid) in respect of the Share of a Member or deceased Member.

5.2 A lien extends to reasonable interest at any rates the Directors may determine, and expenses incurred because the amount is not paid.

Extent of lien

5.3 The Company’s lien on a Share extends to all dividends, bonuses and other moneys payable for the Share including the proceeds of sale of the Share. The Company may deduct or set-off against any dividends, bonuses or other moneys subject to the Company’s lien any moneys due and payable to the Company.

Exemption from lien

5.4 The Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of clauses 5.1 and 5.2.

Sale under lien

5.5 Subject to clause 7, the Company may sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares on which the Company has a lien in any manner if, and only if:

(a) an amount in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable (the Sum); and

(b) 30 days has expired from the Company giving written notice (Notice) to the registered holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to the Shares because of the death or bankruptcy of the registered holder; and

(i) the Sum; and

(ii) that payment must be made by a date at least 10 business days after the date of the Notice; and

(iii) a reasonable place and method for payment; and

(iv) that if payment were not made as required, the Shares would be sold under the lien; and

(d) the Notice has not been complied with.

Proceeds of sale of Shares sold under lien

5.6 The Company must:

(a) apply the net proceeds of Shares sold under lien (after payment of all costs and expenses incurred in selling the Shares) (Net Proceeds) in payment of the Sum; and

(b) pay the balance of the Net Proceeds to the person registered as the holder of the Shares immediately before the Shares were sold or as that person directs.

5.7 The remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale or disposal of its Shares under this clause is limited to a right of action in damages against the Company to the exclusion of any other right, remedy or relief against any other person.

Transfer on sale under lien

5.8 The Company must register the purchaser as holder of the Shares transferred.

5.9 The purchaser of the Shares transferred is not bound to see that the purchase money is properly applied as set out in this clause 5.

5.10 The purchaser’s title to the Shares is unaffected by any irregularity or invalidity in connection with the sale or the application of the purchase money.

Company may forfeit instead

5.11 If clause 7 applies to a Share on which a call is unpaid, the Company may choose which of the sale and other procedures under clauses 5 and 7 it will use. Choosing to use procedures under one of those clauses does not limit the Company’s rights under the other clause.

6 Calls

Directors may make calls

6.1 The Directors may make calls as they think fit on the Members for all moneys unpaid on Shares held by those Members which are not moneys made payable by the conditions of allotment at fixed times.

6.2 A call is deemed to have been made when the Resolution of the Directors authorising that call was passed.

6.3 A call may be made payable by instalments.

6.4 The Directors may revoke or postpone a call.

Notice of calls

6.5 The Company must give written notice of a call at least 30 business days before the call is due. The notice must specify the time and place for payment and any other information required by the Listing Rules. The non-receipt of any notice by, or the accidental omission to give notice of any call to, any Member will not invalidate the call.

Difference in terms of issue as to calls

6.6 The Directors may, on the issue of Shares, differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the time for payment of those calls.

Fixed payments deemed calls

6.7 Any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable on allotment or at any fixed date, will for the purposes of this Constitution be deemed to be a call duly made and payable on the date on which the sum is payable. In case of non-payment, all the relevant provisions of this Constitution as to payment of interest and expenses, forfeiture or otherwise will apply as if the sum had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

Interest on sums not paid

6.8 A sum called in respect of a Share and not paid on or before the date for payment bears interest from the date for payment to the time of actual payment at any rates as the Directors may determine. The Directors may waive payment of interest, either in whole or in part.

Payment of calls

6.9 Each Member must pay the amount of every call made on the Member at the times and places appointed by the Directors.

Proof of calls

6.10 In any proceeding to recover moneys due for any call, it is sufficient and conclusive evidence of the debt if it is proved that:

(a) the name of the Member sued is entered in the Register as the holder or 1 of the holders of the Shares in respect of which the call was made; and

(b) the Resolution making the call was recorded in the minute book; and

Prepayment of calls

6.11 The Directors may receive from any Member willing to advance it, all or any part of the amount unpaid on the Shares held by that Member beyond the sums actually called up. The Directors may then either:

(a) if the Member so requests, make a call on the Member for the amount advanced, pro rata in respect of all Shares held by that Member on which moneys remain unpaid or on any other basis as agreed between that Member and the Directors; or

(b) authorise payment by the Company of interest on the whole or any part of the amount so received until the amount becomes due or is repaid at the rate agreed between the Member paying the sum in advance and the Directors. The Directors may at any time authorise repayment of the whole or any part of the amount paid in advance on giving the Member 1 Month’s notice of the date for repayment.

7 Forfeiture of Shares

Forfeiture on non-payment of calls

7.1 Unless the Directors otherwise determine, any Share on which a call is unpaid 14 days after the day for its payment has expired will be absolutely forfeited without any Resolution of the Directors or other proceeding being required. Subject to the Act and the Listing Rules, the Directors may then proceed to cancel or sell the forfeited Shares.

Evidence of forfeiture

7.2 A written statement declaring that the person making the statement is a Director or Secretary of the Company and that a Share in the Company has been forfeited on a date stated in the statement, is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in the statement as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share.

Effect of forfeiture

7.3 On forfeiture of a Share the person whose Share is forfeited:

(a) will cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited Share;

(b) will lose all entitlements to dividends declared in respect of the forfeited Share and not actually paid; and

(c) will remain liable to pay the Company all money which, at the date of forfeiture, was payable by the person to the Company in respect of the forfeited Share together with interest on that amount from the date of forfeiture until payment at the rate determined by the Directors. The Directors are under no obligation to enforce payment.

Sale of forfeited Share

7.4 If the Directors determine to sell any forfeited Shares, the Company may dispose of any forfeited Shares on any terms and in any manner as the Directors determine, and in accordance with any applicable requirements of the Act and the Listing Rules.

7.5 The Company may do all things necessary to give effect to the sale of the forfeited Shares, including authorising a Director or any other person to:

(a) execute a transfer of the Shares sold in favour of the purchaser of the Shares; and

(b) do all acts and things as are necessary or desirable under the Act, the Listing Rules or Settlement Rules, to effect a transfer and to enable the forfeited Shares to be disposed of.

7.6 The Company must register the transferee as holder of the Shares forfeited.

7.7 The transferee of the forfeited Shares is not bound to see that forfeit money is properly applied as set out in this clause 7. The transferee’s title to the Shares is unaffected by any irregularity or invalidity in connection with the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Shares.

Proceeds of sale

7.8 The proceeds of sale of any forfeited Shares received by the Company must be applied in payment of:

(a) first, the expenses of the sale;

(b) secondly, any expenses necessarily incurred in connection with the forfeiture, including any interest accrued;

(d) the balance (if any) must be paid to the Member whose Shares have been sold within 5 business days of the Company receiving the proceeds of sale.

Redemption of forfeited Shares

7.9 A Share belonging to a person which has been forfeited may be redeemed at any time up to, but not including, the day on which the Share is intended to be sold, by payment to the Company of all calls due on the Share and any other costs and expenses which may be permitted by the Act and the Listing Rules, and on payment the person is entitled to the Share as if the forfeiture had not occurred.

7.10 The remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale or disposal of its Shares under this clause is limited to a right of action in damages against the Company to the exclusion of any other right, remedy or relief against any other person.

Surrender of Shares

7.11 The Directors may accept the surrender of any Share which they are entitled to forfeit on any terms they think fit and any Share so surrendered may be disposed of in the same manner as a forfeited Share.

8 Transfer of Shares

Transfer document

8.1 Subject to this Constitution, the Act, the Listing Rules and Settlement Rules a Member may transfer all or any Shares by a transfer document duly stamped (if necessary) and delivered to the Company. The transfer document must be in writing in the usual or common form or in any other form as the Directors may from time to time prescribe or, in particular circumstances, agree to accept and must be signed by or on behalf of the transferor or as otherwise permitted by the Act.

Registration procedure

8.2 Subject to this Constitution, the Act, the Listing Rules and Settlement Rules every transfer document must be delivered to the Company accompanied by the certificate for the Shares to be transferred and any other evidence the Directors may require to prove the title of the transferor or its right to transfer the Shares. The Company must retain all transfer documents registered but any transfer document which the Directors refuse to register must (except in the case of fraud or suspected fraud) be returned on demand to the person who deposited that document.

Registration of transfer

8.3 Subject to clause 8.4, the Company must register each registrable paper-based transfer of Shares which complies with clauses 8.1 and 8.2, the Act and the Listing Rules and must do so without charge.

Restrictions on transfer

8.4 Except as otherwise provided for in the Listing Rules and Settlement Rules, the Directors may in their absolute discretion ask ASTC to apply a holding lock to prevent a proper ASTC transfer, or refuse to register a paper-based transfer, of a Share where:

(a) the Company has a lien on the Shares the subject of the transfer;

(b) the Company is served with a court order that restricts a Member’s capacity to transfer the Shares;

(c) registration of the transfer may break an Australian law and the ASX has agreed in writing to the application of a holding lock (which must not breach the Settlement Rules) or that the Company may refuse to register a transfer;

(d) if the transfer is paper-based, either a law related to stamp duty prohibits the Company from registering it, or the Company is otherwise allowed to refuse to register it under the Listing Rules;

(e) the transfer does not comply with the terms of any employee incentive scheme of the Company;

(f) if the transfer is paper-based, registration of the transfer will create a new holding which at the time of the transfer is lodged is less than a marketable parcel as defined in the Listing Rules;

(g) the relevant Member has agreed in writing to the application of a holding lock (which must not breach the Settlement Rules) or that the Company may refuse to register a transfer; or

(h) if otherwise permitted under the Listing Rules.

Notice of refusal to register

8.5 If the Company refuses to register a paper-based transfer under clause 8.4, it must tell the lodging party in writing of the refusal and the reason for it, within 5 business days after the date on which the transfer was lodged.

8.6 If the Company asks ASTC to apply a holding lock under clause 8.4, it must tell the holder of the Shares in writing of the holding lock and reason for it, within 5 business days after the date in which it asked for the holding lock.

Transfer not complete until name entered in the Register

8.7 Subject to the Settlement Rules, the transferor of a Share remains the holder of the Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of that Share.

9 Transmission of Shares

Death of a Member

9.1 If a Member dies:

(a) and the Member was a joint holder of any Shares, the surviving joint holder (or holders) is (or are) the only person (or persons) recognised by the Company as having any title to or interest in those Shares; and

(b) the legal personal representatives of the Member (not being 1 of 2 or more joint holders) are the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to or interest in the Shares registered in its name.

Transmission on death or bankruptcy

9.2 Any person becoming entitled to a Share because a Member dies or becomes bankrupt, or otherwise by operation of law, on producing the evidence of entitlement which the Directors may require, may elect either to be registered personally as the holder of the Share or to have some person nominated by it registered as the transferee of that Share.

Election as to registration on transmission

9.3 If the person becoming entitled to a Share:

(a) elects to be registered personally, he or she must deliver or send to the Company a personally signed written notice stating that election; or

(b) elects to have another person registered, he or she must effect a transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

9.4 All the limitations, restrictions and provisions of this Constitution relating to the right to transfer, the form of transfer and the registration of transfers of Shares will be applicable to any notices or transfers.

10 Alteration of capital

Company’s power to alter capital

10.1 The Company may, by Resolution passed at a general meeting:

(a) consolidate all or any of its Shares into Shares of a larger amount;

(b) subdivide its Shares or any of them into Shares of a smaller amount, but so that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount (if any) unpaid on each subdivided Share is the same as it was for the Share from which the subdivided Share is derived; or

Dealing with fractions

10.2 Subject to the Act, the Directors may do anything required to give effect to any resolution which alters the Company’s share capital. Where a Member becomes entitled to a fraction of a Share on a consolidation, this power includes:

(a) making cash payments;

(b) determining that fractions may be disregarded to adjust the rights of all parties;

(d) rounding up each fractional entitlement to the nearest whole Share by capitalising any amount available for capitalisation even though only some of the Members may participate in the capitalisation.

Reduction of capital

10.3 Subject to the Act and the Listing Rules, the Company may reduce its capital in any manner, including by way of distributing specific assets, including securities of the Company or of any other corporation, trust or entity.

Power to buy back Shares

10.4 The Company may, in accordance with the Act and the Listing Rules, buy back its own Shares on any terms and conditions determined by the Directors. The consideration paid for a buy back of Shares may include specific assets, including securities of the Company or of any other corporation, trust or entity.

11 Variation or cancellation of rights

Variation or cancellation of rights of class of Shares

11.1 Subject to the Act and the Listing Rules, all or any of the rights and privileges attached to any class of Shares (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may be varied or cancelled, including by converting or reclassifying Shares from one class to another:

(a) with the written consent of holders of at least 75% of the Shares issued in that class; or

(b) with the approval of a Special Resolution passed at a meeting of holders of the Shares of that class. The provisions of this Constitution relating to notice of meetings, quorum at a meeting, the appointment of a chairman and of proxies, attorneys and representatives, the depositing and form and validity of proxies and the conduct of general meetings will apply to any meeting of that class to approve that Resolution.

No consent or sanction required for redemption

11.2 A consent or sanction referred to in clause 11.1 is not required to redeem any Shares or vary any other rights attaching to any Shares where that redemption or variation is in accordance with the terms of issue of those Shares.

No variation by issue of further Shares ranking equally

11.3 The rights conferred on the holders of the Shares of any class will not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking equally in respect of those rights.

12 Restricted Securities

12.1 The Company must comply with all the requirements of the Listing Rules relating to Restricted Securities. Despite any other provisions of this Constitution:

(a) Restricted Securities cannot be disposed of (as the term “disposed” is defined in the Listing Rules) during the escrow period for those Restricted Securities, except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX;

(b) the Company must refuse to acknowledge a disposal (including registering a transfer) of Restricted Securities during the escrow period for any Restricted Securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules or the ASX; and

(c) during a breach of the Listing Rules relating to Restricted Securities, or a breach of a restriction agreement, the holder of the Restricted Securities is not entitled to any dividend or distribution, or voting rights, in respect of the Restricted Securities.

Reserves

28.1 Before declaring any dividends, the Directors may set aside out of the Company’s profits any sums they think proper as reserves to be applied to meet contingencies, to equalise dividends, to pay special dividends, to repair, improve or maintain any Company property or for any other purpose the Directors in their absolute discretion consider to be in the Company’s interests. Pending that application, the reserves may, at the Directors’ discretion, be used in the Company’s business or be invested as the Directors think fit (including the purchase of Shares of the Company).

Apportionment of dividends
