Action to be taken by Partly Paid Shareholders Partly Paid Shareholders should read the Notice including the Explanatory Memorandum carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions. 2.1 Voting in person To vote in person, attend the Meeting on the date and at the place set out above. 2.2 Proxies (a) Voting by proxy A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Partly Paid Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a 'proxy') to vote in their place. All Partly Paid Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Partly Paid Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person. Page 2 Please note that: (i) a Partly Paid Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy; (ii) a proxy need not be a member of the Company or another Partly Paid Shareholder; and (iii) a Partly Paid Shareholder entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms. (b) Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does: (c) (i) the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); (ii) if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; (iii) if the proxy is the Chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and (iv) if the proxy is not the Chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Resolution 1 – Variation of Class Rights – Partly Paid Shares 3.1 Background The Company has on issue 123,300,321 partly paid shares (Partly Paid Shares). The Partly Paid Shares are paid up to $0.001 and have an unpaid amount per Partly Paid Share of $0.049 (Unpaid Amount). Page 3 The terms of the Partly Paid Shares provide that the Company must not make a call of more than $0.02 in any 6-month period (Call Amount). The purpose of varying the terms of the Partly Paid Shares is to align the uncalled amount to the current share price of the Company. This will facilitate the ability of the Company to make calls on the Partly Paid Shares. It would also allow the Company to issue additional Partly Paid Shares that can be issued on the same terms and conditions as the varied Partly Paid Shares as the ASX will only allow one series of Partly Paid Shares to be listed. Pursuant to Resolution 1, the Company seeks the approval of holders of Partly Paid Shares by way of a special resolution to vary the terms of the Partly Paid Shares to reduce the Unpaid Amount from $0.049 to $0.019, and to reduce the Call Amount from $0.02 to $0.01 (Variation). The full revised rights and liabilities of the Partly Paid Shares, as proposed by the Company, are set out in Schedule 2. 3.2 Corporations Act and Constitution Section 246B of the Corporations Act provides that if a company has a constitution that sets out the procedure for varying rights attached to shares in a class of shares, those rights may be varied only in accordance with that procedure. Clause 2.3 of the Constitution provides that the rights attaching to any class of shares may be varied with: (a) the consent in writing of holders of 75% of the issued shares of that class; or (b) a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of holders of the shares in that class. In addition, clause 2.3 of the Constitution provides that any variation of rights under clause 2.3 is subject to section 246B of the Corporations Act, which itself requires a meeting of Shareholders of the Company pass a special resolution approving the Variation in addition to a meeting of Partly Paid Shareholders. Resolution 1 will be passed by Partly Paid Shareholders as a special resolution if 75% of the votes cast by Partly Paid Shareholders present and eligible to vote (whether in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative) are in favour of it. Partly Paid Shareholders should note that no change will be made to the terms of the Partly Paid Shares unless the Company’s unassociated Shareholders also pass a resolution pursuant to section 246B of the Corporations Act with respect to the Variation. 3.3 Directors' recommendation The Directors unanimously support the Variation and recommend that Partly Paid Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

However, the Partly Paid Shares the subject of a call will be liable to forfeiture if a call remains unpaid at the end of 14 Business Days after it became payable.
