       the exercise of, or influence the exercise of, the voting powers         
       or disposal of the securities to which the relevant interest             
relates (indicating clearly the particular securities to which the       
       qualification applies).                                                  
    See the definition of `relevant agreement` in section 9 of the              
    Corporations Act 2001.

    has, or may, become entitled to receive in relation to that                 
    acquisition.  Details must be included even if the benefit is               
conditional on the happening or not of a contingency.  Details must be      
    included on any benefit paid on behalf of the substantial holder or

    paid directly to the person from whom the relevant interest was             
acquired.

    write `unknown``.                                                           
(9) Give details, if appropriate, of the present association and any
