DIRECTIONS
(1) If there are a number of substantial holders with similar or related
relevant interests (e.g. a corporation and its related corporations,
or the manager and trustee of an equity trust), the names could be
included in an annexure to the form. If the relevant interests of a
group of persons are essentially similar, they may be referred to
throughout the form as a specifically named group if the membership of
each group, with the names and addresses of members is clearly set out
in paragraph 6 of the form.
(2) See the definition of `associate` in section 9 of the Corporations Act
2001.
(3) See the definition of `relevant interest` in sections 608 and 671B (7)
of the Corporations Act 2001.
(4) The voting shares of a company constitute one class unless divided
into separate classes.
(5) The person`s votes divided by the total votes in the body corporate or
scheme multiplied by 100.
(6) Include details of:
(a) any relevant agreement or other circumstances because of which the
change in relevant interest occurred. If subsection 671B(4)
applies, a copy of any document setting out the terms of any
relevant agreement, and a statement by the person giving full and
accurate details of any contract, scheme or arrangement, must
accompany this form, together with a written statement certifying
this contract, scheme or arrangement; and
(b) any qualification of the power of a person to exercise, control
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.
(7) Details of the consideration must include any and all benefits, money
and other, that any person from whom a relevant interest was acquired
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
its associate in relation to the acquisitions, even if they are not
paid directly to the person from whom the relevant interest was
acquired.
(8) If the substantial holder is unable to determine the identity of the
person (e.g. if the relevant interest arises because of an option)
write `unknown``.
(9) Give details, if appropriate, of the present association and any
change in that association since the last substantial holding notice.
