Appendix 3B - Annexure 1

 

Calculation of placement capacity under rule 7.1 and rule 7.1A for ⁺eligible entities

Introduced 01/08/12, Amended 04/03/13

 

Part 1

 

Rule 7.1 - Issues exceeding 15% of capital
Step 1: Calculate "A", the base figure from which the placement capacity is calculated
Insert number of fully paid +ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the +issue date or date of agreement to issue	1,180,426,999
Add the following: •    Number of fully paid +ordinary securities issued in that 12 month period under an exception in rule 7.2	12,987,013 shares (Approved by shareholders 23/11/2016)
·      Number of fully paid +ordinary securities issued in that 12 month period with shareholder approval
•    Number of partly paid +ordinary securities that became fully paid in that 12 month period
Note: •     Include only ordinary securities here - other classes of equity securities cannot be added •     Include here (if applicable) the securities the subject of the Appendix 3B to which this form is annexed •      It may be useful to set out issues of securities on different dates as separate line items
Subtract the number of fully paid +ordinary securities cancelled during that 12 month period	Nil
"A"	1,193,414,012

 

Step 2: Calculate 15% of "A"
"B"	0.15 [Note: this value cannot be changed]
Multiply "A" by 0.15	179,012,101
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 agreed to be issued in that 12 month period not counting those issued: •    Under an exception in rule 7.2 •    Under rule 7.1A •    With security holder approval under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4 Note: •    This applies to equity securities, unless specifically excluded - not just ordinary securities •    Include here (if applicable ) the securities the subject of the Appendix 3B to which this form is annexed •    It may be useful to set out issues of securities on different dates as separate line items	Nil
"C"	Nil
Step 4: Subtract "C" from ["A" x "B"] to calculate remaining placement capacity under rule 7.1
"A" x 0.15 Note: number must be same as shown in Step 2	179,012,102
Subtract "C" Note: number must be same as shown in Step 3	Nil
Total ["A" x 0.15] - "C"	179,012,102   [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" Note: number must be same as shown in Step 1 of Part 1	1,193,414,012
Step 2: Calculate 10% of "A"
"D"	0.10 Note: this value cannot be changed
Multiply "A" by 0.10	119,341,401
Step 3: Calculate "E", the amount of placement capacity under rule 7.1A that has already been 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	Nil
"E"	Nil
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	119,341,401
Subtract "E" Note: number must be same as shown in Step 3	Nil
Total ["A" x 0.10] - "E"	119,341,401 Note: this is the remaining placement capacity under rule 7.1A
