4                                                  HOW TO APPLY FOR NEW SHARES

 

The Offer to participate in the Plan opens on Friday 5 December 2014.

 

An offer to participate in the Plan may be accepted by a registered Eligible Member (Acceptance) by completing and returning the personalised offer and application form (Application Form) provided by the Company, together with the appropriate payment for the amount to which the Acceptance relates (by cheque in Australian dollars drawn on an Australian bank made payable to “Genetic Technologies Limited SPP Account”), by no later than the Offer closing date of Monday, 22 December 2014 (Closing Date). Application Forms received after that time will not be accepted.

 

Acceptance includes making payment using the BPAY facility offered by Computershare Investor Services Pty. Limited, but only via the customer reference number as described on your personalised Application Form, by no later than the Closing Date (in which case the Application Form need not be returned to the Company).

 

If Acceptance (via BPAY) or one or more Application Forms are received from an Eligible Member in relation to shares with a value greater than $7,500, the Eligible Member holder will be issued with the maximum number of New Shares permitted by the Plan (subject to any scaling back by the Company in accordance with this Offer). The difference between the subscription moneys received from such member, and the number of New Shares allocated to

 

5



 

that member multiplied by the Issue Price, will be refunded to the Eligible Member by cheque, without payment of any interest, as soon as reasonably practicable following allotment of all the New Shares.

 

If an Eligible Member subscribes for an amount which is not exactly divisible by the Issue Price for the shares, in calculating the number of shares to be issued, all fractional entitlements will be rounded down to the next whole share.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision in these terms and conditions, the Board may, in its sole discretion, reject any Acceptance Form which is received from ineligible members or otherwise which:

 

(a)         is incomplete, incorrectly filled out or accompanied by a cheque which is not paid in full on first presentation; or

(b)         which the Board believes is completed by a person within, or a person acting for the account or benefit of a person within, another jurisdiction where, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, it would be unlawful or impractical for the Company to issue the New Shares.

 

If a cheque is not cleared through the banking system, the member’s Application Form will not be accepted and the member will be deemed to agree to be responsible for any dishonour fees or other costs incurred. If a cheque is dishonoured, that dishonoured cheque will not be re-presented.

 

Once submitted, applications for New Shares under the Plan cannot be withdrawn or amended.

 

Shareholders should consult their taxation or investment advisers to clarify the financial and taxation implications for them in subscribing for shares under the Plan.

 

5                                                  SCALE BACK

 

The Company intends to raise a maximum of $3,153,694 via the Plan and reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to scale back subscription applications should total demand exceed $3,153,694.  Any scale back of applications will be done on a pro-rata basis for all applications received.

 

The difference between the subscription moneys received from each Eligible Member, and the number of New Shares allocated to each Eligible Member multiplied by the Issue Price, will be refunded to member by cheque, without payment of any interest, as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

6                                                  ISSUE OF NEW SHARES

 

The New Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offer under the Plan will be issued as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date and the Company will apply for those shares to be quoted on the ASX.

 

6



 

The Company will, within the period required by the ASX Listing Rules, send each participant (whose Application Form has been accepted by the Company) a holding statement in respect of any New Shares issued to the participant under the Plan.

 

Shares issued under the Plan will rank equally with all existing ordinary shares in the Company and will therefore carry the same voting rights, dividend rights and other entitlements as those ordinary shares from the date of issue.

 

7                                                  EXCLUDED APPLICANTS

 

A shareholder who alone or with its associates would obtain an interest in more than 20% of the issued voting shares of the Company may be ineligible to accept (part or all of) an offer under the Plan. The Company reserves the right to refuse an application if the applicant (alone or with its associates) would obtain an interest in more than 20% of the issued voting shares of the Company.

 

In the event that an application is adjusted, the Company will refund to the applicant by cheque without interest the between the application monies received by the Company and application monies payable for the number of shares actually issued to the applicant.

 

8                                                  NO SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL REQUIRED

 

The Company is not required to seek the approval of Shareholders in relation to the offer of New Shares under the Plan.

 

9                                                  AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

 

The Board may, in its absolute discretion, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time (including, without limitation, by extending the Closing Date). The Company will notify ASX of any amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan, but failure to do so will not invalidate the amendment, suspension or termination.

 

The Company may issue to any person fewer shares than subscribed for under the Plan (or none at all) if the Company believes that the issue of those shares would contravene any law or the ASX Listing Rules or the Corporations Act 2001.

 

10                                           ADMINISTRATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

The Company’s principal objective in administering the Plan is to facilitate maximum participation consistent with compliance with ASIC Class Order CO 09/425 and all applicable laws and efficient administrative practices.

 

The Company may adopt any administrative procedures it thinks appropriate (from time to time) in relation to the Plan.  The Company may settle, in any manner it thinks fit, any difficulties, anomalies or disputes which may arise under or in connection with the operation of the Plan, whether generally or in relation to any participant or class of participants, the Offer, any Acceptance Form or New Shares, and the decision of the Company will be conclusive and binding on all participants and other persons to whom the determination relates.

 

7



 

The Company reserves the right (subject to the Corporations Act 2001 and ASIC Class Order 09/425) to waive compliance with any provision of these terms and conditions.

Notices and statements to participating shareholders may be given in any manner determined by the Company.
