Foreign Jurisdictions

This Offer Booklet does not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer. No action has been taken to register or qualify the New Shares, or otherwise permit an offering of the New Shares to existing shareholders in any jurisdiction outside of Australia and New Zealand. This Offer Booklet and accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form may not be distributed outside Australia and New Zealand except as may be permitted under Section 1.12 and Section 6 of this Offer Booklet or as otherwise set out in this Offer Booklet.

No Investment advice

This Offer Booklet is not financial product or investment advice nor a recommendation to acquire New Shares and has been prepared without taking into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of individuals. Before making an investment decision prospective investors should consider the appropriateness of the information having regard to their own objectives, financial situation and needs and seek legal, taxation and financial advice appropriate to their jurisdiction and circumstances.

The Company is not licensed to provide financial product advice in respect of New Shares or any other financial products. No cooling off period applies to the acquisition of the New Shares.

Risks

An investment in New Shares is subject to investment and other known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are beyond the control of the Company and the Board, including the risks described in section 5 of this Offer Booklet, which could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward looking statements in this Offer Booklet. Neither the Company, its officers, employees, agents, associates and advisers, nor any other person warrants or guarantees the future performance of the New Shares or any particular rate of return or the performance of the Company, nor does it guarantee the repayment of capital from the Company or any particular taxation treatment.
