SECURITIES TRADING POLICY

For personal use only

1. INTRODUCTION

These guidelines set out the policy on the sale and purchase of securities in the Company by its Personnel.

Personnel are encouraged to be long-term holders of the Company's securities. However, it is important that care is taken in the timing of any purchase or sale of such securities.

The purpose of these guidelines is to assist Personnel to avoid conduct known as 'insider trading'. In some respects, the Company's policy extends beyond the strict requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

2. DEFINITIONS

In this policy:

Key Management Personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of that entity.

Personnel includes officers, employees, contractors or agents of the Company.

3. WHAT TYPES OF TRANSACTIONS ARE COVERED BY THIS POLICY?

This policy applies to both the sale and purchase of any securities of the Company and its subsidiaries on issue from time to time.

4. WHAT IS INSIDER TRADING?

Prohibition

Insider trading is a criminal offence. It may also result in civil liability. In broad terms, a person will be guilty of insider trading if:

  1. that person possesses information which is not generally available to the market and, if it were generally available to the market, would be likely to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company's securities (i.e. information that is 'price sensitive'); and
  2. that person:
    1. buys or sells securities in the Company; or
    2. procures someone else to buy or sell securities in the Company; or
    3. passes on that information to a third party where that person knows, or ought reasonably to know, that the third party would be likely to buy or sell the securities or procure someone else to buy or sell the securities of the Company.

Dealing through third parties

The insider trading prohibition extends to dealings by individuals through nominees, agents or other associates, such as family members, family trusts and family companies (referred to as "Associates" in these guidelines).

For personal use only

Information however obtained

It does not matter how or where the person obtains the information - it does not have to be obtained from the Company to constitute inside information.

Confidential Information

Employees and directors also have a duty of confidentiality to the Company. A person must not reveal any confidential information concerning the Company, use that information in any way which may cause loss to the Company, or use that information to gain an advantage for themselves or anyone else.

Limiting Risk

Employees, directors and officers must not enter into transactions or arrangements which operate to limit the economic risk of their security holding in the company without first seeking and obtaining written acknowledgement from the Chairman.

Employee share schemes

The prohibition does not apply to acquisitions of shares, performance rights or options by employees made under employee share, rights or option schemes, nor does it apply to the acquisition of shares as a result of the exercise of options or conversion of performance rights under an employee share scheme. However, the prohibition does apply to the sale of shares acquired under an employee share scheme and also to the sale of shares acquired following the exercise of an option or performance right granted under an employee option scheme.

5. GUIDELINES FOR TRADING IN THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES

No short-term trading in the Company's securities

Key Management Personnel should never engage in short-term trading of the Company's securities except for the exercise of options where the shares will be sold shortly thereafter.

Securities in other companies

Buying and selling securities of other companies with which the Company may be dealing is prohibited where an individual possesses information which is not generally available to the market and is 'price sensitive'.
