The issue of the +securities to be quoted complies with the law and is not for an
illegal purpose.
There is no reason why those +securities should not be granted +quotation.

one has any right to return any +securities to be quoted under sections 737, 738 or
1016F of the Corporations Act at the time that we request that the +securities be
quoted.
If we are a trust, we warrant that no person has the right to return the +securities
to be quoted under section 1019B of the Corporations Act at the time that we request
that the +securities be quoted.

Part 1
Rule 7.1 - Issues exceeding 15% of capital

period

securities cancelled during that 12 month
period
"A"
Step 2: Calculate 15% of "A"
"B" 0.15
[Note: this value cannot be changed]
Multiply "A" by 0.15
Step 3: Calculate "C", the amount of placement capacity under rule 7.1 that has already been used
Insert number of equity securities issued or

counting those issued:

to which this form is annexed
* It may be useful to set out issues of

"A" x 0.15
Note: number must be same as shown in Step 2
Subtract "C"
Note: number must be same as shown in Step 3
Total ["A" x 0.15] - "C"
[Note: this is the remaining placement capacity
under rule 7.1]
Part 2
Rule 7.1A - Additional placement capacity for eligible entities
Step 1: Calculate "A", the base figure from which the placement capacity is calculated
"A" Not applicable
Note: number must be same as shown in Step 1 of

used
Insert number of equity securities issued or
agreed to be issued in that 12 month period
under rule 7.1A
Notes:
* This applies to equity securities - not
just ordinary securities
* Include here - if applicable - the
securities the subject of the Appendix 3B
to which this form is annexed
* Do not include equity securities issued
under rule 7.1 (they must be dealt with in
Part 1), or for which specific security
holder approval has been obtained
* It may be useful to set out issues of
securities on different dates as separate
line items
"E"
Step 4: Subtract "E" from ["A" x "D"] to calculate remaining placement capacity under rule 7.1A
"A" x 0.10
Note: number must be same as shown in Step 2
Subtract "E"
Note: number must be same as shown in Step 3
Total ["A" x 0.10] - "E"
Note: this is the remaining placement capacity
under rule 7.1A
