The Company is seeking the quotation of the Attaching Options on ASX. This Rights Issue is not underwritten, but shareholders who have fully subscribed for their Rights Issue entitlement may subscribe for any shortfall.

Further details will be provided to option holders separately. Loyalty Bonus The Company also intends to make a Loyalty Bonus Option Issue (‘Bonus Issue’). Eligible shareholders holding 125,000 or more fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at the 7pm (ADST) 30 March 2017 will be issued one (1) free loyalty bonus option (‘LBO’) for every eight (8) ordinary shares held. Shares acquired in the Rights Issue will not be counted towards the shareholding for the 125,000 share threshold, nor qualify to receive the LBO. The terms of the LBOs will be identical to those of the Attaching Options to the Placement and Rights Issue. Options will be exercisable at $0.40 with an expiry date of 14 December 2018. The Company is seeking the quotation of the LBOs on ASX. More information regarding the Bonus Issue will be set out in the prospectus, to be mailed to eligible shareholders in accordance with the timetable below.

This Placement of 7.81 million shares at $0.16 will be supplemented by the issue of one (1) Attaching Options for every two (2) Placement shares subscribed. The 3.91 million Attaching Options will have an exercise price of $0.40 with an expiry date of 14 December 2018. The Company is seeking the quotation of the Attaching Options on ASX. The Placement shares issue price of $0.16 is at a 13.5% discount to the latest closing price of $0.185, and a 10.6% discount to the 30 day volume weighted average price for Axiom’s shares of $0.179. The Placement shares will be issued under the Company’s existing placement capacity and as such do not require prior shareholder approval. The Placement shares will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing fully paid ordinary shares
