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	254,534,420

Subtract the number of fully paid +ordinary securities cancelled during that 12 month period	Nil
"A"	258,334,420
Step 2: Calculate 15% of "A"
"B"	0.15 [Note: this value cannot be changed]
Multiply "A" by 0.15	38,750,163
Step 3: Calculate "C", the amount of placement capacity under rule 7.1 that has already been used

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	38,750,163
Subtract "C" Note: number must be same as shown in Step 3	1,181,000
Total ["A" x 0.15] - "C"	37,569,163 [Note: this is the remaining placement capacity under rule 7.1]

"D"	0.10 Note: this value cannot be changed
Multiply "A" by 0.10	Not applicable

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	Not applicable
"E"	Not applicable
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		Not applicable
