No interest will be paid on any application monies received or refunded. 1.5 Shortfall Offer Any Entitlement to Loyalty Options not taken up pursuant to the Loyalty Offer will form part of the Shortfall Offer (Shortfall Options). The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three (3) months following the Closing Date of the Loyalty Offer.

Loyalty Options issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be issued on a progressive basis.

The Company is a participant in Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS), for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Loyalty Options allotted to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship. Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month. 1.11 Risks As with any securities investment, there are risks associated with investing in the Company. The principal risks that could affect the financial and market performance of the Company are detailed in Section 2 of this Prospectus. The Loyalty Options on offer under this Prospectus should be considered speculative. Accordingly, before deciding to invest in the 11 Company, investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety and should consider all factors in light of their individual circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice. 1.12 Overseas Shareholders The Loyalty Offer and Shortfall Offer do not, and are not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus. It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Loyalty Options these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Loyalty Offer is not being extended and Loyalty Options will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand. In relation to the Shortfall Offer, the distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any of these restrictions.
