No Entitlement Options will be issued on the basis of this Prospectus any later than 13 months after the date of this Prospectus (being the expiry date of this Prospectus).

The Corporations Act prohibits any person from passing on to another person an Entitlement and Acceptance Form unless it is accompanied by a complete and unaltered copy of this Prospectus.

The Company is a disclosing entity listed on the ASX and this Prospectus is issued under section 713 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) in reliance on information previously disclosed to the ASX by the Company. It does not contain, by itself, all information that would be contained in a prospectus for an initial public offering or all information relevant to a decision to invest in the Company.

No representation other than in this Prospectus

No person is authorised to give any information or to make any representation in connection with the Entitlement Option Offer which is not contained in this Prospectus. Any information or representation not so contained may not be relied on as having been authorised by the Company in connection with the Entitlement Option Offer.

Nominees and custodians

The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder or investor is acting as a nominee or custodian or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of existing Shares, CDIs or Entitlements. Where any person is acting as a nominee or custodian for a foreign person, that person, in dealing with its beneficiary will need to assess whether the distribution of any documents relating to the Entitlement Option Offer (including this Prospectus) or the indirect participation by the beneficiary complies with applicable foreign laws.

Restrictions on Foreign Jurisdictions

No action has been taken to permit the Entitlement Option Offer of Entitlement Options under this Prospectus in any jurisdiction other than Australia. The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and therefore persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of those laws. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of Entitlement Options in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would be unlawful to issue this Prospectus.

Prospectus does not contain investment advice

This Prospectus is important and should be read in its entirety before deciding to participate in the Entitlement Option Offer. This does not take into account the investment objectives, financial or taxation or particular needs of any Applicant. Before making any investment in the Company, each Applicant should consider whether such an investment is appropriate to his/her particular needs, and considering their individual risk profile for speculative investments, investment objectives and individual financial circumstances. Each Applicant should consult his/her stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser without delay. The Entitlement Options offered by this Prospectus should be considered speculative.

Information for Canadian Investors

This Prospectus constitutes an offering of the Entitlement Options in the Canadian province of British Columbia (Province) where existing CDI Holders of the Company are resident.

protections that would be afforded had a prospectus been filed and receipted by the securities regulator in the applicable Province.

Any resale of the Entitlement Options in Canada must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, which may require resales to be made in accordance with an exemption from prospectus requirements.

The Company as well as its directors and officers may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon the Company or its directors or officers.
