Share, which was added to Tranche 2 of the placement (together the Placement).

The Placement was made up of $3.39M in Tranche 1 and, subject to shareholder approval which was obtained
at a general meeting on 3 August 2018 (Meeting) an additional $7.86M in Tranche 2. Tranche 1 Shares were

                return any +securities to be quoted under sections 737, 738 or 1016F of the Corporations Act

                at the time that we request that the +securities be quoted.

                be quoted.

3       We will indemnify ASX to the fullest extent permitted by law in respect of any claim, action or expense
        arising from or connected with any breach of the warranties in this agreement.
