Page 16

 

4 Conversion General

 

 

4.1 The Company may not convert a Note into Ordinary Shares other than in accordance with this Term 4.
   
4.2 Noteholder entitlement to convert

 

At any time prior to the Benchmark Date (Noteholder Conversion Period), a Noteholder may convert all or part of its Notes by giving a Conversion Notice, together with the Certificates relating to the Notes being converted, to the Company requiring the Company to convert all of the Notes held by the Noteholder.

 

4.3 Conversion on Listing

 

Notwithstanding Term 4.2, if, during the Noteholder Conversion Period a Listing Condition is satisfied, the Company must convert all of the Notes held by the Noteholder and issue to the Noteholder the number of Company Shares calculated under Term 4.4(b).

 

4.4 Conversion formula

 

  (a) In relation to Notes which are the subject of a Conversion Notice under Term 4.2 and, the Company must issue Ordinary Shares to the Noteholder on the basis of one Share for each five Notes.
     
  (b) In relation to Notes which are the subject of a Company Conversion Notice under Term 4.3(a), if the Listing Conditions are satisfied prior to the Maturity Date, the number of Shares which the Company must issue to the Noteholder will be determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

A = B x C

          D

 

where:

 

  A = the number of Shares to be issued to the Noteholder;
     
  B = the Face Value of the Notes being converted;
     
  C = Foreign Exchange Conversion Rate;
     
  D = 20% discount to the price at which the relevant Ordinary Shares are issued under a Prospectus at the time of the Listing.

 

4.5 Completion of conversion

 

  (a) Within 5 Business Days of the relevant Conversion Event in accordance with:

 

  (i) clause 4.2, the Company must:

 

  (A) issue to the Noteholder a holding statement concerning, or certificates for, the relevant Ordinary Shares by delivering the statement (or certificates) to the Noteholder;
     
  (B) issue the number of Company Shares calculated in accordance with clauses 4.4(a).

 

 
Page 17

 

  (ii) clause 4.3, the Company must:

 

  (A) issues to the Noteholder a holding statement concerning, or certificates for, the relevant Ordinary Shares by delivering the statement (or certificates) to the Noteholder;
     
  (B) issue the number of Company Shares calculated in accordance with clauses 4.4(b).

 

  (b) A Note in respect of which a Conversion Notice has been given will be treated as having been cancelled and converted into Conversion Shares on the Conversion Date in respect of that Note.

 

4.6 Adjustment

 

If prior to conversion of any Notes:

 

  (a) a consolidation, sub-division or pro-rata cancellation of Ordinary Shares occurs, then the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Notes are convertible will be adjusted so that the Notes are convertible into the same percentage of the issued Ordinary Shares (on a fully diluted basis) as the percentage of issued Ordinary Shares into which they were convertible (on a fully diluted basis) immediately prior to the capital consolidation, sub-division or pro-rata cancellation (as applicable);
     
  (b) a return of capital of the Company occurs, then the valuation amount must be reduced by the same amount as the aggregate amount returned in relation to the Ordinary Shares and the formula set out in Term 4.4 must be adjusted accordingly;
     
  (c) a reduction of capital of the Company occurs by a cancellation of paid up capital that is lost or not represented by available assets where no securities are cancelled, then the number of Notes on issue must remain unaltered; or
     
  (d) any other reorganisation or reconstruction of Ordinary Shares occurs, then the number of Notes on issue must be amended so that the Noteholders do not receive a benefit that the holders of Ordinary Shares do not receive and vice versa.

 

5 Assistance with Listing

 

 

  (a) In relation to Conversion Shares issued upon conversion under Term 4.3, if the Nasdaq requires, as a condition for the Listing to proceed, that any Conversion Shares must be subject to a restriction or hold back agreement pursuant, then the Noteholder (and any other associated parties or controllers) must execute any restriction agreement in relation to those Conversion Shares required by the Nasdaq.
     
  (b) When requested, if a Noteholder does not provide a signed restriction agreement within 3 business days, the Note may be cancelled by the Company and Face Value of each note returned to the Noteholder within 30 days post-listing without interest.
     
  (c) Without limitation the Noteholder shall co-operate in good faith with the Company and execute all relevant documents and comply with any reasonable request by the Company in relation to the Listing and must not do anything which adversely affects, or is likely to adversely affect, the Listing.

  (ii) in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Note Certificate, if requested by the Company, an indemnity from the Noteholder in respect of the lost, stolen or destroyed Note Certificate on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

 

6.4 On the Redemption Date and subject to the Noteholder complying with Term 6.3, the Company must pay to that Noteholder an amount in cash equal to the total principal amount of its Notes outstanding together with all accrued but unpaid and uncapitalised interest on that amount (Redemption Amount) up to and including the day immediately prior to the Redemption Date.

 

6.5 If a Noteholder fails to comply with Term 6.3:

 

  (a) the Company must pay the Redemption Amount into a separate bank account pending compliance with Term 6.3;
     
  (b) the payment of the Redemption Amount into a bank account will constitute the Company a trustee in respect of the amount;
     
  (c) the Company will be responsible for the safe custody of the Redemption Amount; and
     
  (d) the Noteholder will be entitled to claim the Redemption, net of any deduction by the Company for any costs or expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Company’s performance of its obligations under this Term 6.5.

 

6.6 Redemption by Company prior to Maturity

 

If the Notes are redeemed by the Company prior to the Maturity Date, the Company will pay the Noteholder the same amount of money that would have been due if they were redeemed pursuant to term 6.7.

 

 
Page 19

 

6.7 Redemption upon Maturity

 

  (a) The Company must redeem and paid out all Notes held by the Noteholders within 10 business days from the Maturity Date in the event there is no conversion of the Notes.
     
  (b) If the Company redeems a Noteholder’s Notes pursuant to 6.7(a), the amount paid out to the Noteholder shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

  X = Y x Z
   
  Where:
   
  X = Amount Paid
   
  Y = Face value
   
  Z = 120%

 

7 Disposal

 

 

7.1 A Noteholder may only Dispose of Notes in accordance with this Term 7.
   
7.2 Subject to compliance with all applicable laws, a Noteholder may transfer a Note by delivering a transfer document duly stamped (if necessary) and signed by or on behalf of the transferor to the Company. The transfer document must be in writing in the usual or common form or in such other form as the Board may from time to time prescribe or, in particular circumstances, agree to accept.

  (a) no Conversion Notice in respect of the Note has been given by a Noteholder under Term 4.2;
     
  (b) the Note is not due to be redeemed under Term 6.2(a);
     
  (c) it is in favour of not more than four joint transferees; and

Page 20

 

7.5 If the Board refuses to register the transfer of a Note it must, within 15 Business Days after the date on which the transfer document was lodged with the Company, send notice of the refusal to the transferee. Failure to give notice will not invalidate the decision of the Board. All transfer documents that are registered must be retained by the Company but any transfer document that the Board refuses to register must (except in the case of fraud or suspected fraud) be returned on demand to the person who deposited it.
   
7.6 The Company may not charge a fee for registering the transfer of a Note or other document relating to or affecting the title to a Note or the right to transfer it or for making any other entry in the Register.
