to) revoke the Notice of Exercise by notice to the Company within two Business Days of being so notified; and 


  

	 	(iii)	 if the Warrantholder does not give notice under clause 6(b)(ii), the Company must take all necessary steps to ensure
that the Warrant Shares are freely tradeable as soon as possible (and in any event, within 30 days after the Exercise Date), including, if necessary, by issuing, subject to clause 6(d), a disclosure document which complies with Part 6D.2 of the




  
 31 















			
		  	

  


	 	 
Corporations Act (disclosure document) so that section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act applies. 



 

	 	(c)	 If the Company is in possession of information which is Excluded Information of the Company on the Exercise Date
(Relevant Information), and in the majority opinion of the Directors (each acting reasonably) disclosure of that Relevant Information in a cleansing statement pursuant to clause 6(a) or a disclosure document pursuant to clause 6(b) would
materially disadvantage the Company or its shareholders, the Company will be not required to comply with clauses 6(a) or 6(b) and the following provisions will apply: 



 

	 	(i)	 the Company must take all necessary steps to ensure that the Warrant Shares are freely tradeable in the ordinary
course on ASX as soon as possible after the Relevant Information is either: 


  

	 	(A)	 included in a continuous disclosure notice of the Company; or 



 

	 	(B)	 otherwise no longer taken to constitute Excluded Information; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 without limiting the generality of clause 6(c)(i), the Company must: 



 

	 	(A)	 if permitted by the Corporations Act, issue a cleansing statement in relation to the Warrant Shares within 1 Business
Day of clause 6(c)(i)(A) or clause 6(c)(i)(B) occurring; and 


  

	 	(B)	 if the Company has not issued a cleansing statement under clause 6(c)(ii)(A) within 60 days of the Exercise Date,
issue a disclosure document so that section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act applies to the Warrant Shares. 


  

	 	(d)	 The Company’s obligation to issue a disclosure document under clause 6(b)(iii) or clause 6(c)(ii)(B) is subject
to the Warrantholder and its directors (if applicable) giving the consent required under section 720 of the Corporations Act. The Company must do everything reasonably required by the Warrantholder (in accordance with customary procedures and
practice) to facilitate the Warrantholders and its directors (if applicable) giving such consent.

Warrant) must be adjusted in accordance with the Listing Rules (and these terms and conditions must be construed so as to give effect to that adjustment). Any such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on the date the relevant
reorganisation becomes effective.

Rules) to the holders of Ordinary Shares, other than an Excluded Offer, the number of Warrant Shares per Warrant shall be increased by the number of bonus Ordinary Shares or other securities which the Warrantholder would have received in respect of
any Ordinary Share(s) that would have been issued to the Warrantholder had the Warrant been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue. 


  

	 	(e)	 (New Issues) The holding of a Warrant does not entitle the Warrantholder to participate in any new issues of
Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company. 


  

	 	(f)	 The Company must promptly give written notice to Warrantholders of each adjustment made pursuant to this clause 7. The
notice must describe the change and show in reasonable detail the basis for the adjustment.
