Appendix 3B - Correction of records to reflect correct participation in the
Dividend Substitution Share Plan (rather than the Dividend Reinvestment Plan)
on 30 August 2013
Dear Sir / Madam
The Company recently became aware that two holdings which had validly elected
to participate in the Company's Dividend Substitution Share Plan (DSSP) had
been incorrectly recorded as participating in the Company's Dividend
Reinvestment Plan (DRP) in respect of the final dividend paid on 30 August
2013.
This processing error resulted in an incorrect number of shares being
notified to ASX as having been issued by the Company in its Appendix 3B
lodged with ASX on 30 August 2013, which advised that the Company had issued
5,433,911 fully paid ordinary shares (ie 5,209,788 shares at $5.64 under the
DRP and 224,123 at nil cost under the DSSP), such that it had 1,042,760,370
fully paid ordinary shares on issue.
In fact, the correct record should have been that, on 30 August 2013, the
Company issued 5,433,909 fully paid ordinary shares (ie 5,181,498 shares at
$5.64 under the DRP and 252,411 at nil cost under the DSSP), such that it had
1,042,760,368 fully paid ordinary shares on issue. That is, two less fully
paid ordinary shares in total.1
Accordingly, attached is an amended Appendix 3B which corrects and replaces
the Appendix 3B lodged on 30 August 2013. Given that the Company lodged a
subsequent Appendix 3B on 2 September 2013 (in relation to the conversion of
certain Unsecured Convertible Notes), for convenience, the attached Appendix
3B also consolidates the information in that Appendix 3B of 2 September and
also reflects the attached form 484 being lodged with ASIC today cancelling
5,112 ordinary shares as a result of long-term incentive plan shares not
vesting. The Company's current share capital position is 1,042,757,713 fully
paid ordinary shares on issue.
Yours faithfully
Simon Pordage
Company Secretary
