Reason for issue of shares as a placement under rule 7.1A

The Company issued the shares as a placement to sophisticated and professional investors under LR 7.1A as this was considered to be a more efficient mechanism than an entitlements issue. The decision was made after taking into account the lower than expected participation in the Company's recent Option entitlement issue and the Placement minimised the Company's exposure to market volatility that can occur with a protracted process like an entitlement issue.

Details of any underwriting arrangements

The placement was not underwritten.

Any other fees or costs incurred in connection with the issue

Fees totalling 10% of the placement proceeds was paid to brokers.

Appendix 3B Amendment

As stated previously the Appendix 3B for the Placement was announced to the market on 7 August 2013. In the Appendix 3B the Company should have disclosed in Part 1 (6)(d) that the number of securities issued with shareholder approval under rule 7.1A was 11,428,574.

Yours faithfully

Anthony Begovich

Company Secretary
