Step 2: Calculate 15% of “A”
“B”

0.15

 

[Note: this value cannot be changed]

 

Multiply “A” by 0.15  
Step 3: Calculate “C”, the amount of placement capacity under rule 7.1 that has already been used

Insert number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued in that 12 month period not counting those issued:

 

• Under an exception in rule 7.2

 

• Under rule 7.1A

Note:

• It may be useful to set out issues of securities on different dates as separate line items

 
“C”

“A” x 0.15

 

Note: number must be same as shown in Step 2

 

 

Subtract “C”

 

Note: number must be same as shown in Step 3

 

 
Total [“A” x 0.15] – “C”

Step 2: Calculate 10% of “A”
“D”

Step 3: Calculate “E”, the amount of placement capacity under rule 7.1A that has already been used

Insert number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued in that 12 month period under rule 7.1A

 

Notes:

• This applies to equity securities – not just ordinary securities

• Include here – if applicable – the securities the subject of the Appendix 3B to which this form is annexed

• Do not include equity securities issued under rule 7.1 (they must be dealt with in Part 1), or for which specific security holder approval has been obtained
