This prospectus supplement relates to the
offer and sale of ordinary shares from time to time, represented by American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, having an aggregate offering
price of up to US$50,000,000. The ADSs are evidenced by American Depositary Receipts, or ADRs. We have entered into an At Market
Issuance Sales Agreement, dated October 16, 2016, as amended on November 8, 2017 and December 16, 2020, which we refer to as the
Sales Agreement, with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (formerly B. Riley FBR, Inc.), or B. Riley Securities, and JonesTrading Institutional
Services LLC, or JonesTrading, each of B. Riley Securities and JonesTrading individually an “Agent” and collectively
the “Agents.” The Sales Agreement provides, among other things, for the sale of an aggregate US$55,124,764 of our ADSs,
of which $5,124,764 has been sold. This prospectus supplement amends and replaces our prospectus supplement dated April 10, 2019.
Our ADSs are listed on The NASDAQ Capital
Market under the symbol “ATHE.” On December 15, 2020, the closing price of an ADS of Alterity Therapeutics Limited
on The NASDAQ Capital Market was US$1.50.
Sales of our ADSs under this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus, if any, may be made in sales
deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or the Securities Act. B. Riley Securities and JonesTrading will act as sales agents on a best efforts basis using
commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their normal trading and
sales practices. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information
contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The summary may
not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in our ADSs. You should read the entire prospectus supplement
and the accompanying prospectus carefully, including “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus, before making an investment
decision. This prospectus supplement may add to, update or change information in the accompanying prospectus.
We were incorporated under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Australia on November 11, 1997 under the name Prana Biotechnology Limited and began limited operations shortly
thereafter. We changed our name to Alterity Therapeutics Limited on April 8, 2019. Our mission
is to develop therapeutic drugs designed to treat the underlying causes of degeneration of the brain as the aging process progresses.
While we historically focused on drugs targeting Alzheimer’s disease and Huntington disease, we are currently concentrating
our efforts on drugs targeting Parkinsonian and other movement disorders. Other potential applications for our proprietary compounds
include the treatment or amelioration of neurodegenerative disorders such as tauopathies, Motor Neuron disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob
disease (the human variant of Mad Cow disease), certain cancers, age-related macular degeneration, or antibiotic resistance.
ATH434 (formerly PBT434), Alterity’s
leading drug candidate, has received orphan drug designation for Multiple System Atrophy, or MSA, in the U.S. and EU, conferring
7 and 10 years of market exclusivity respectively in addition to other benefits. MSA is a rare and rapidly progressive neurological
disorder affecting adults. It has no known cause. In addition to presenting with motor symptoms like those in Parkinson’s
disease, individuals with MSA may also experience loss of ability to co-ordinate voluntary movements and impaired ability to maintain
normal blood pressure, bowel function and bladder control. Most of these symptoms are not addressed by available drugs for patients
with Parkinson’s disease. As the condition progresses, daily activities become increasingly difficult and complications such
as increased difficulty swallowing, vocal cord paralysis, progressive immobility, and poor balance become more prominent. Symptoms
tend to appear after age 50 and rapidly advance, leading to profound disability. Preclinical studies showed that ATH434 reduced
the pathological markers of MSA and a related disorder, Parkinson’s disease. They also demonstrated improved function and
a neuroprotective benefit, with potential to modify the progression of these diseases. Phase 1 trials indicated that ATH434 had
a favourable safety and pharmacokinetic profile, achieving drug concentrations at the site of action that met or exceeded those
associated with efficacy in animal models of Parkinson’s disease and MSA. No assurance can be given that ATH434 will succeed.
Recent Private Placements and this Offering
On October 15, 2020, we received binding
commitments for a capital raising of A$35 million that was conducted in a two tranche private placement to Australian and International
institutions and other unrelated sophisticated, professional or exempt investors. The placement was fully subscribed and was conducted
at $0.037 per share, representing a discount of 25.7% to the 30-day VWAP and 24.8% discount to the 15 day VWAP prior to the initiation
of the private placement. For every share allocated in tranche two of the placement, one option was issued.
Tranche One of the placement raised A$10
million in accordance with the Company’s available placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 (162,750,604 shares)
and 7.1A (108,500,403 shares), being a total of 271,251,007 shares. Tranche Two, which required and received shareholder approval,
raised A$25 million (674,694,939 shares and one (1) for one (1) free attaching options having an exercise price of A$0.07).
The purpose of the private placements was
to provide Alterity with the ability to progress its clinical development program for ATH434 including a Natural History study
and a Phase 2 trial, both in MSA patients, ongoing research and discovery, and working capital. ATH434 is in development for MSA,
its first disease target.

Risk Factors
|
This investment involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-3 of this prospectus supplement as well as the other information included in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus for a discussion of risks you should consider carefully before making an investment decision.
|
Unless otherwise stated, all information
contained in this prospectus supplement reflects the assumed public offering price of US$1.50 per ADS, which was the last reported
sale price of an ADS representing our ordinary shares on The NASDAQ Capital Market on December 15, 2020.
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves
significant risks. Please see the risk factors under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on
Form 20-F on file with the SEC, as revised or supplemented by our reports subsequently filed after the date hereof with the SEC
and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider
these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus supplement. The risks and uncertainties
we have described are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that
we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose
all or part of your investment in the offered securities. The discussion of risks includes or refers to forward-looking statements;
you should read the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements discussed elsewhere in
this prospectus supplement.
Risks Related to the Offering
We will have broad discretion in
how we use the proceeds, and we may use the proceeds in ways with which you and other shareholders may disagree.
We intend to use
the net proceeds from this offering for ongoing and future clinical trials and research programs into the development of our proprietary
compounds, including our lead compound, ATH434, and for working capital purposes. Pending these uses, our management will have
broad discretion in the application of the proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not necessarily
improve our operating results or enhance the value of our ordinary shares.
You will experience immediate and
substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the ordinary shares you purchase.
Since
the assumed price per share of our ordinary shares being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share
of our ordinary shares, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the ADSs you purchase in this offering.
The shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices. After giving effect to: (i)
the sale of 47,646,000 shares on July 2, 2020 in an “at the market
offering” with net proceeds of A$1.5 million (US$1.1 million); (ii) the sale
of our ADSs in the maximum aggregate offering amount of US$50,000,000 at an assumed
offering price of US$0.025 per ordinary share or US$1.50 per ADS, the last reported
sale price of our ADS representing ordinary shares on December 15, 2020; (iii) the
issuance of 945,945,946 ordinary shares and options to purchase 674,694,939 ordinary shares in
November 2020, with estimated net proceeds of A$32.7 million; and (iii) after deducting estimated commissions and other offering
expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2020 on an as adjusted
basis would have been US$77.9 million, or US$0.019 per ordinary share. This represents
an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of US$.0045 per share or US$0.26 per
ADS to our existing stockholders and an immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value of US$0.006 per share or
US$0.34 per ADS to new investors who purchase our ADSs in the offering. See “Dilution” for a more detailed discussion
of the dilution you may incur in connection with this offering.
Risks Related to Our Securities
Our stock price may be volatile and the U.S. trading market
for our ADSs is limited.
The market price for our securities, like
that of the securities of other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, has fluctuated substantially and may continue to be
highly volatile in the future. During the last two fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and subsequently until December
15, 2020 the market price for our ordinary shares on the ASX ranged from as low as US$0.36
to a high of US$3.43. The market price for our securities has been affected by both
broad market developments and announcements relating to actual or potential developments concerning products under development.
We believe that the following factors, in addition to other risk factors described above and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement,
will continue to significantly affect the market price of our ordinary shares:
|
·
|
the results of pre-clinical testing and clinical trials by us and our competitors;
|
|
·
|
developments concerning research and development, manufacturing, and marketing alliances or collaborations by us and our competitors;
|
|
·
|
announcements of technological innovations or new commercial products by us and our competitors;
|
|
·
|
determinations regarding our patent applications and patents and those of others;
|
|
·
|
publicity regarding actual or potential results relating to medicinal products under development by us and our competitors;
|
|
·
|
proposed governmental regulations and developments in Australia, the United States and elsewhere;
|
|
·
|
economic and other external factors; and
|
|
·
|
period-to-period fluctuations in our operating results.
|
In addition, stock markets have experienced
extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations have especially affected the stock market price of many high technology
and healthcare related companies, including pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and, in many cases, are unrelated to the
operating performance of the particular companies. Market fluctuations, as well as general political and economic conditions, such
as a recession or interest rate or currency rate fluctuations, could adversely affect the market price of our securities.
Your ownership interest in our company may be diluted as
a result of additional financings.
We may seek to raise funds from time to
time in public or private issuances of equity, and such financings may take place in the near future or over the longer term. Since
the inception of our “At-The-Market” facility in 2011 and through December 15, 2020, we sold an aggregate of 424,889,350
ordinary shares under this facility and raised a total of A$54.1 million (US$47.7 million) in gross proceeds.
We recently completed a two-stage private
placement of 945,945,946 ordinary shares with options to purchase 674,694,939 ordinary shares at a price per share of A$0.07.
Without shareholder approval, we may not
issue more than 25% of our outstanding ordinary shares in any twelve month period other than by a pro rata rights offering or a
share purchase plan offer (of shares with a value at the issue price of up to A$30,000 per shareholder to a maximum of 30% of our
outstanding shares) in each case to the then existing shareholders in accordance with the listing rules of the ASX. Sales
of our ADSs offered through our “At-The-Market” facility, future equity offerings and the exercise of our outstanding
options may result in substantial dilution to the interests of our current shareholders. The sale of a substantial number of securities
to investors, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in
the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
There is a substantial risk that we are a passive foreign
investment company, or PFIC, which will subject our U.S. investors to adverse tax rules.
Holders of our ADSs who are U.S. residents
face income tax risks. There is a substantial risk that we are a passive foreign investment company, commonly referred to as a
PFIC. Our treatment as a PFIC could result in a reduction in the after-tax return to the holders of our ADSs and would likely cause
a reduction in the value of such ADRs. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year
in which either (i) 75% or more of our gross income is passive income, or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of all of our
assets for the taxable year produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, cash is considered to be
an asset that produces passive income. As a result of our substantial cash position and the decline in the value of our stock,
we believe that we became a PFIC during the taxable year ended June 30, 2005, and once again qualified as a PFIC during each of
the following fiscal years. We believe that we once again will be classified as a PFIC for the taxable year ended June 30, 2020.
If we are classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, highly complex rules will apply to U.S. holders owning ADRs.
Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the application of such rules. United States residents should
carefully read “Item 10.E. Additional Information - Taxation, United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” in our
Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement
and the accompanying prospectus, for a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax risks related to owning and disposing
of our ADSs.
We do not anticipate paying dividends on our ordinary shares.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends
on our ordinary shares and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion
of our Board of Directors and will depend on various factors, including our operating results, financial condition, future prospects
and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. You should not rely on an investment in our company if you require
dividend income from your investment in our company. The success of your investment will likely depend entirely upon any future
appreciation of the market price of our ordinary shares, which is uncertain and unpredictable. There is no guarantee that our ordinary
shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased your ordinary shares.
Currency fluctuations may adversely affect the price of
our securities.
Our ordinary shares are quoted in Australian
dollars on the ASX and our ADSs have traded on The NASDAQ Capital Market in United States
dollars. Movements in the Australian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate may adversely affect the U.S. dollar price of our
ordinary shares. In the past year the Australian dollar has generally appreciated against the U.S. dollar. Any continuation of
this trend may positively affect the U.S. dollar price of our ordinary shares, even if the price of our ordinary shares in Australian
dollars increases or remains unchanged. However, this trend may not continue and may be reversed. If the Australian dollar weakens
against the U.S. dollar, the U.S. dollar price of the ordinary shares could decline, even if the price of our ordinary shares in
Australian dollars increases or remains unchanged.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We may issue and sell ordinary shares represented
by ADSs having aggregate sales proceeds of up to US$50,000,000 from time to time. Except as described in any free writing prospectus
that we may authorize to be provided to you, we currently intend to use the net proceeds, if any, from this offering primarily
for ongoing and future clinical trials and research programs into the development of our proprietary compounds, including our lead
compound, ATH434, and for working capital purposes.
We have not determined the amounts we plan
to spend on any of the areas listed above or the timing of these expenditures. As a result, our management will have broad discretion
to allocate the net proceeds from this offering. Pending application of the net proceeds as described above, we expect to invest
the net proceeds in highly liquid investments.
DILUTION
If you invest in our securities, your ownership
interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the offering price per ordinary share paid by purchasers
in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per ordinary share after completion of the offering. Dilution
results from the fact that the per ordinary share offering price is substantially in excess of the book value per ordinary share
attributable to the existing holders of our presently outstanding ordinary shares.
Our net tangible book value as of June 30,
2020 was approximately US$4.9 million, or US$0.005 per ordinary share (US$0.28 per ADS). Net tangible book value per share or per
ADS represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities divided by the total number of ordinary shares or
ADSs outstanding. Each ADS represents 60 ordinary shares.
After giving effect to the sale of
47,646,000 shares on July 2, 2020 in an “at the market offering” with net proceeds of A$1.5 million (US$1.1
million) and the two-stage private placement completed in November 2020, with estimated net proceeds of A$32.7 million
(US$24.5 million), our proforma net tangible asset value as of June 30, 2020 was US$30.5 million, or US$0.015 per ordinary
share (US$0.90 per ADS). After giving further effect to the sale of 2,000,000,000 ordinary shares (33,333,333 ADSs) in this
offering of US$50,000,000 at an assumed offering price of US$0.025 per ordinary share, or US$1.50 per ADS, which was our
closing price of our ADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market on December 15, 2020 and after deducting estimated offering
commissions and other estimated offering expenses, our as-adjusted proforma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2020 would
have been US$77.9.0 million or US$0.019 per ordinary share (US$1.164 per ADS). This represents an immediate increase in the
proforma net tangible book value of US$0.004 per ordinary share (US$0.26 per ADS) to our existing stockholders and an
immediate and substantial dilution in proforma net tangible book value of US$0.006 per ordinary share (US$0.34 per ADS) to
new investors.
The following table sets forth the estimated
net tangible book value per ordinary share in US$ after the offering and the dilution to persons purchasing ordinary shares based
on the foregoing offering assumptions.

This discussion of dilution, and the table quantifying it, assumes
no exercise of any outstanding options or warrants over our ordinary shares. The table above contains a translation of net tangible
book value at June 30, 2020 from Australian dollar amounts into U.S. dollar amounts at specified rates solely for the convenience
of the reader, which was A$1.00 to US$0.6863. Thereafter the proforma has been made at the exchange rate of A$1.00 to US$0.751,
which was the exchange rate at December 15, 2020.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We have entered into an At Market
Issuance Sales Agreement, dated October 16, 2016, as amended on November 8, 2017 and December 16, 2020 with B. Riley Securities,
Inc. (formerly B. Riley FBR, Inc.), or B. Riley Securities, and JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC, or JonesTrading, or the
Sales Agreement, under which we may issue and sell ADSs for up to $50,000,000 of our ordinary shares from time to time pursuant
to this Prospectus Supplement through B. Riley Securities and JonesTrading acting as Agents.
The Agents may
sell the ADSs by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under
the Securities Act. The ADSs are evidenced by ADRs.
Each time that we wish to issue and sell
ADSs under the Sales Agreement, we will provide an Agent with a placement notice describing the number of ADSs to be issued, the
time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of ADSs that may be sold in any one day and
any minimum price below which sales may not be made. We have agreed that on any single day we will only issue a placement notice
to one Agent and will not request both Agents to sell ADSs on the same date.
Upon receipt of a placement notice from
us, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Agents have each agreed to use its commercially reasonable
efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such ADSs up to the amount specified on such terms. Unless
otherwise specified, the settlement between us and the Agents of our ADSs will occur on the second trading day following the date
on which the sale was made. The obligation of the Agents under the Sales Agreement to sell our ADSs pursuant to a placement notice
is subject to a number of conditions. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
We will pay the Agents a commission of up
to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the sales price of all ADSs sold through them as sales agents under the Sales Agreement. Because
there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, the actual total public offering amount,
commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering,
excluding compensation payable to the Agents under the terms of the Sales Agreement, will be approximately US$100,000. .
In connection with the sale of our ADSs
contemplated in this prospectus supplement, the Agents are “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act,
and the compensation paid to them will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to indemnify the Agents
against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Sales of our ADSs as contemplated in this
prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and the
Agents may agree upon.
The offering of our ADSs pursuant to this
prospectus supplement will terminate on the earlier of (1) the sale of all of the ordinary shares subject to this prospectus
supplement, or (2) termination of the Sales Agreement t by us or the Agents.
This
summary of the material provisions of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions.
A copy of the Sales Agreement, as amended, has been or will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a Report on Form 6-K filed under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus.
None of the Agents has any relationship
with us other than their role as a sales agent for our current “at the market offerings” of ADSs. The Agents and their
affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking and other financial services for us, for which services they may
in the future receive customary fees.

RISK
FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves significant
risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors”
in the applicable prospectus supplement and under Item 3.D. – “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report
on Form 20-F, or any updates in our Reports on Form 6-K, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus
or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, in light of your particular investment
objectives and financial circumstances. The risks so described are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks not presently
known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our business, financial condition and
results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline
due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The discussion of risks includes or refers to forward-looking
statements; you should read the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements discussed
elsewhere in this prospectus.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents incorporated
in it by reference contain forward-looking statements which involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. We include this
notice for the express purpose of permitting us to obtain the protections of the safe harbor provided by the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to all such forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include:
projections of capital expenditures, competitive pressures, revenues, growth prospects, product development, financial resources
and other financial matters. You can identify these and other forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,”
“plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “intends,”
“potential” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology.
Our ability to predict the results of our
operations or the effects of various events on our operating results is inherently uncertain. Therefore, we caution you to consider
carefully the matters described under the caption “Risk Factors” and certain other matters discussed in this prospectus,
the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and other publicly available sources. Such factors and many other factors
beyond the control of our management could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from
any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
OFFER STATISTICS AND EXPECTED TIMETABLE
We may sell from time to time pursuant to
this prospectus (as may be detailed in prospectus supplements) an indeterminate number of securities as shall have a maximum aggregate
offering price of $50,000,000. The actual per share price of the securities that we will offer pursuant hereto will
depend on a number of factors that may be relevant as of the time of offer (see “Plan of Distribution” below).

MARKET FOR OUR ORDINARY SHARES
Our ordinary shares have traded on the ASX
since our initial public offering on March 29, 2000. Since September 5, 2002 our ADRs have traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market
and since April 8, 2019, when we changed our name to Alterity Therapeutics Limited, under the symbol “ATHE.”
USE OF PROCEEDS
Except as otherwise provided in the applicable
prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities covered by this prospectus for ongoing
and future clinical trials and research programs into the development of our proprietary compounds, including our compound ATH434
for Parkinsonian disorders, and for working capital purposes. Additional information on the use of net proceeds from the
sale of securities covered by this prospectus may be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the specific offering.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell securities in any of the ways
described below, including any combination thereof:
|
●
|
to or through underwriters or dealers;
|
|
●
|
through one or more agents; or
|
|
●
|
directly to one or more purchasers.
|
The distribution of the securities may be effected from time
to time in one or more transactions:
|
●
|
at a fixed price, or prices, which may be changed from time to time;
|
|
●
|
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
|
|
●
|
at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or
|
Each prospectus supplement will describe
the method of distribution of the securities and any applicable restrictions. The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities
of a particular series will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including the following:
|
●
|
the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, and the amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by each of
them;
|
|
●
|
the initial public offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us and any discounts, commissions, or concessions allowed
or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
|
|
●
|
any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed.
|
Any public offering price and any discounts
or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. In no event will any underwriter or dealer
receive fees, commissions, and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed 8% of the price of the shares being registered.
Only the agents or underwriters named in
the prospectus supplement are agents or underwriters in connection with the securities being offered.
We may authorize underwriters, dealers,
or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase securities from us pursuant to delayed
delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date stated in the prospectus supplement. Each contract will be for
an amount not less than, and the aggregate amount of securities sold pursuant to such contracts shall not be less nor more than,
the respective amounts stated in the prospectus supplement. Institutions with whom the contracts, when authorized, may be made
include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions,
and other institutions, but shall in all cases be subject to our approval. Delayed delivery contracts will be subject only to those
conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for solicitation
of these contracts.
Agents, underwriters and other third parties
described above may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act of 1933, or to contribution with respect to payments which the agents or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
Agents, underwriters and such other third parties may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us
in the ordinary course of business.
One or more firms, referred to as “remarketing
firms,” may also offer or sell the securities, if the prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with a remarketing
arrangement upon their purchase. Remarketing firms will act as principals for their own accounts or as our agents. These remarketing
firms will offer or sell the securities in accordance with the terms of the securities. The prospectus supplement will identify
any remarketing firm and the terms of its agreement, if any, with us and will describe the remarketing firm’s compensation.
Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with the securities they remarket. Remarketing firms may be entitled
under agreements that may be entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act of 1933, and may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us in the ordinary
course of business.
Certain of the underwriters may use this
prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement for offers and sales related to market making transactions in the securities.
These underwriters may act as principal or agent in these transactions, and the sales will be made at prices related to prevailing
market prices at the time of sale.
The securities may be new issues of securities
and may have no established trading market. The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. Underwriters
may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without
notice. We can make no assurance as to the liquidity of or the existence of trading markets for any of the securities.
Certain persons participating in this offering
may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions, and penalty bids in accordance with rules and
regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering
size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing
bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchase of the securities in the open market after
the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from
a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those
activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue
any of the activities at any time.
DESCRIPTION OF OUR SHARE CAPITAL
The concept of authorized share capital
no longer exists in Australia and as a result, our authorized share capital is unlimited. All our outstanding ordinary shares are
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The rights attached to our ordinary shares are as follows:
Dividend rights. If our board of
directors recommends a dividend, registered holders of our ordinary shares may declare a dividend by ordinary resolution in a general
meeting. The dividend, however, cannot exceed the amount recommended by our board of directors. Our board of directors may declare
an interim dividend. No dividend may be paid except out of our profits.
Voting rights. Holders of ordinary
shares have one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Such voting rights may be
affected by the grant of any special voting rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized
in the future.
The quorum required for an ordinary meeting
of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders represented in person or by proxy who hold or represent, in the aggregate,
at least one third of the voting rights of the issued share capital. A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum generally is adjourned
to the same day in the following week at the same time and place or any time and place as the directors designate in a notice to
the shareholders. At the reconvened meeting, the required quorum consists of any two members present in person or by proxy.
An ordinary resolution, such as a resolution
for the declaration of dividends, requires approval by the holders of a majority of the voting rights represented at the meeting,
in person, by proxy or by written ballot and voting thereon. Under our Constitution, a special resolution, such as amending our
Constitution, approving any change in capitalization, winding-up, authorization of a class of shares with special rights, or other
changes as specified in our Constitution, requires approval of a special majority, representing the holders of no less than 75%
of the voting rights represented at the meeting in person, by proxy or by written ballot, and voting thereon.
Pursuant to our Constitution, our directors
are elected at our annual general meeting of shareholders by a vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented
and voting at such meeting.
Rights in our profits. Our shareholders
have the right to share in our profits distributed as a dividend and any other permitted distribution.
Rights in the event of liquidation.
In the event of our liquidation, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, our assets will be distributed to the holders
of ordinary shares in proportion to the nominal value of their holdings. This right may be affected by the grant of preferential
dividend or distribution rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future.
Changing Rights Attached to Shares
According to our Constitution, in order
to change the rights attached to any class of shares, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the class, such change must be
adopted by a general meeting of the shareholders and by a separate general meeting of the holders of the affected class with a
majority of 75% of the voting power participating in such meeting.
Annual and Extraordinary Meetings
Our Board of Directors must convene an annual
meeting of shareholders at least once every calendar year, within five months of our last fiscal year-end balance sheet data. Notice
of at least twenty-eight (28) days prior to the date of the meeting is required. An extraordinary meeting may be convened by the
board of directors, if it decides or upon a demand of any directors, or of one or more shareholders holding in the aggregate at
least five percent (5%) of our issued capital. An extraordinary meeting must be called not more than twenty-one (21) days after
the request is made. The meeting must be held not later than two months after requested.
Limitations on the Rights to Own Securities in Our Company
Neither our Constitution nor the laws of
the Commonwealth of Australia restrict in any way the ownership or voting of our shares.
Changes in Our Capital
Pursuant to the Listing Rules of the Australian
Securities Exchange, our directors may in their discretion issue securities equal to not more than 25% of our issued capital within
a 12-month period. Issuances of securities in excess of such amount require the approval of our shareholders by an ordinary resolution,
unless made under an exception contained in the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange which includes, among other
things, a pro rata offer to shareholders, offers or issues made under previously approved employee incentive schemes and share
purchase plans under Australian law involving an offer of up to A$30,000 of shares at the applicable price.
DESCRIPTION OF OUR AMERICAN DEPOSITARY
SHARES
American Depositary Shares
The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary,
will register and deliver ADSs. Each ADS represents sixty ordinary shares (or a right to receive sixty ordinary shares) deposited
with HSBC Custody Nominees (Australia) Limited, as custodian for the depositary. Each ADS also represents any other securities,
cash or other property which may be held by the depositary. The depositary’s corporate trust office at which the ADSs are
administered is located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286. The Bank of New York Mellon’s principal executive
office is located at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10286.
You may hold ADSs either (A) directly
(i) by having an American depositary receipt, which is a certificate evidencing a specific number of ADSs, registered in your
name, or (ii) by holding ADSs in the Direct Registration System, or (B) indirectly through your broker or other financial
institution. If you hold ADSs directly, you are an ADS holder. This description assumes you hold your ADSs directly. If you hold
the ADSs indirectly, you must rely on the procedures of your broker or other financial institution to assert the rights of ADR
holders described in this section. You should consult with your broker or financial institution to find out what those procedures
are.
The Direct Registration System is a system
administered by DTC pursuant to which the depositary may register the ownership of uncertificated ADSs, which ownership shall be
confirmed by periodic statements issued by the depositary to the ADS holders entitled thereto.
As
an ADS holder, we will not treat you as one of our shareholders and you will not have shareholder rights. Australian law governs
shareholder rights. The depositary will be the holder of the shares underlying your ADSs. As a holder of ADSs, you will have ADS
holder rights. A deposit agreement among us, the depositary and you, as an ADS holder, and the beneficial owners of ADSs set out
ADS holder rights as well as the rights and obligations of the depositary. New York law governs the deposit agreement and the ADSs.
The following is a summary of the material
provisions of the deposit agreement. For more complete information, you should read the entire deposit agreement and the form of
American depositary receipt. Directions on how to obtain copies of those documents are provided under “Where You Can Find
Additional Information.”
Dividends and Other Distributions
If We Pay a Dividend or Other
Distribution, How Will You Receive Dividends and Other Distributions on the Shares?
In the event that we pay a cash dividend
or make another distribution, the depositary has agreed to pay to you the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian
receives on shares or other deposited securities, after deducting its fees and expenses. You will receive these distributions in
proportion to the number of shares your ADSs represent.
|
●
|
Cash. The depositary will convert any cash dividend or other cash distribution we pay on the shares
into U.S. dollars, if it can do so on a reasonable basis and can transfer the U.S. dollars to the United States. If that
is not possible or if any government approval is needed and cannot be obtained, the deposit agreement allows the depositary to
distribute the foreign currency only to those ADR holders to whom it is possible to do so. It will hold the foreign currency it
cannot convert for the account of the ADS holders who have not been paid. It will not invest the foreign currency and it will not
be liable for any interest.
|
Before making a distribution, any withholding taxes,
or other governmental charges that must be paid will be deducted. The depositary will distribute only whole U.S. dollars and
cents and will round fractional cents to the nearest whole cent. If exchange rates fluctuate during a time when the depositary
cannot convert the foreign currency, you may lose some or all of the value of the distribution.
|
●
|
Shares. The depositary may distribute additional ADSs representing any shares we distribute as a dividend
or free distribution. The depositary will only distribute whole ADSs. It will sell shares which would require it to deliver a fractional
ADS and distribute the net proceeds in the same way as it does with cash. If the depositary does not distribute additional ADSs,
the outstanding ADSs will also represent the new shares.
|
|
●
|
Rights to Purchase Additional Shares. If we offer holders of our securities any rights to subscribe for additional
shares or any other rights, the depositary may make these rights available to you. If the depositary decides it is not legal and
practical to make the rights available but that it is practical to sell the rights, the depositary will use reasonable efforts
to sell the rights and distribute the proceeds in the same way as it does with cash. The depositary will allow rights that are
not distributed or sold to lapse. In that case, you will receive no value for them.
|
If the
depositary makes rights available to you, it will exercise the rights and purchase the shares on your behalf. The depositary will
then deposit the shares and deliver ADSs to you. It will only exercise rights if you pay it the exercise price and any other charges
the rights require you to pay.
U.S. securities laws may restrict transfers
and cancellation of the ADSs represented by shares purchased upon exercise of rights. For example, you may not be able to trade
these ADSs freely in the United States. In this case, the depositary may deliver restricted depositary shares that have the same
terms as the ADSs described in this section except for changes needed to put the necessary restrictions in place.
|
●
|
Other Distributions. The depositary will send to you anything else we distribute on deposited securities
by any means it thinks is legal, fair and practical. If it cannot make the distribution in that way, the depositary has a choice.
It may decide to sell what we distributed and distribute the net proceeds, in the same way as it does with cash. Or, it may decide
to hold what we distributed, in which case ADSs will also represent the newly distributed property. However, the depositary is
not required to distribute any securities (other than ADSs) to you unless it receives satisfactory evidence from us that it is
legal to make that distribution.
|
The
depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any ADS holders.
We have no obligation to register ADSs, shares, rights or other securities under the Securities Act. We also have no obligation
to take any other action to permit the distribution of ADSs, shares, rights or anything else to ADS holders. This means that
you may not receive the distributions we make on our shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical for us
to make them available to you.
Deposit, Withdrawal and Cancellation
How Are ADSs Issued?
The depositary will deliver ADSs if you
or your broker deposits shares or evidence of rights to receive shares with the custodian. Upon payment of its fees and expenses
and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, the depositary will register the appropriate
number of ADSs in the names you request and will deliver the ADSs to or upon the order of the person or persons entitled thereto.
How Do ADS Holders Cancel an
ADS?
You may turn in your ADSs at the depositary’s
corporate trust office. Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer
taxes or fees, the depositary will deliver the shares and any other deposited securities underlying the ADSs to you or a person
you designate at the office of the custodian. Or, at your request, risk and expense, the depositary will deliver the deposited
securities at its corporate trust office, if feasible.
How Do ADS Holders Interchange
Between Certificated ADSs and Uncertificated ADSs?
You may surrender
your ADR to the depositary for the purpose of exchanging your ADR for uncertificated ADSs. The depositary will cancel that ADR
and will send you a statement confirming that you are the owner of uncertificated ADSs. Alternatively, upon receipt by the depositary
of a proper instruction from a holder of uncertificated ADSs requesting the exchange of uncertificated ADSs for certificated ADSs,
the depositary will execute and deliver to you an ADR evidencing those ADSs.
Voting Rights
How Do You Vote?
You may instruct the depositary to vote
the deposited securities, but only if we ask the depositary to ask for your instructions. Otherwise, you won’t be able
to exercise your right to vote unless you withdraw the shares. However, you may not know about the meeting enough in advance to
withdraw the shares.
If we ask for your instructions, the depositary
will notify you of the upcoming vote and arrange to deliver our voting materials to you. The materials will (1) describe the
matters to be voted on and (2) explain how you may instruct the depositary to vote the shares or other deposited securities
underlying your ADSs as you direct. For instructions to be valid, the depositary must receive them on or before the date specified.
The depositary will try, as far as practical, subject to the laws of Australia and our Constitution, to vote or to have its agents
vote the shares or other deposited securities as you instruct. The depositary will only vote or attempt to vote as you instruct.
We cannot assure you that you will receive
the voting materials in time to ensure that you can instruct the depositary to vote your shares. In addition, the depositary and
its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for the manner of carrying out voting instructions.
This means that you may not be able to exercise your right to vote and there may be nothing you can do if your shares are not
voted as you requested.
In order to give you a reasonable opportunity
to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to deposited securities, if we request the depositary to
act, we will try to give the depositary notice of any such meeting and details concerning the matters to be voted upon sufficiently
in advance of the meeting date.

will reimburse us, but the amount of reimbursement available to us is not related to the amount of fees the depositary collects
from investors.
The depositary collects its fees for issuance
and cancellation of ADSs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries
acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed
or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services
by deduction from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants
acting for them. The depositary may generally refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid.
Payment of Taxes
You will be responsible for any taxes or
other governmental charges payable on your ADSs or on the deposited securities represented by any of your ADSs. The depositary
may refuse to register any transfer of your ADSs or allow you to withdraw the deposited securities represented by your ADSs until
such taxes or other charges are paid. It may apply payments owed to you or sell deposited securities represented by your ADSs to
pay any taxes owed and you will remain liable for any deficiency. If the depositary sells deposited securities, it will, if appropriate,
reduce the number of ADSs to reflect the sale and pay to you any proceeds, or send to you any property, remaining after it has
paid the taxes.
Reclassifications, Recapitalizations
and Mergers
If we:
|
|
Then:
|
• Change
the nominal or par value of our shares
• Reclassify,
split up or consolidate any of the deposited securities
• Recapitalize,
reorganize, merge, liquidate, sell all or substantially all of our assets, or take any similar action
|
|
• The securities received by the depositary
will become deposited securities. Each ADS will automatically represent its equal share of the new deposited securities
• The depositary may, and will if we
ask it to, deliver new ADRs or ask you to surrender your outstanding ADRs in exchange for new ADRs identifying the new deposited
securities.
|
Amendment and Termination
How May the Deposit Agreement
Be Amended?
We may agree with the depositary to amend
the deposit agreement and the ADSs without your consent for any reason. If an amendment adds or increases fees or charges, except
for taxes and other governmental charges or expenses of the depositary for registration fees, facsimile costs, delivery charges
or similar items, or prejudices a substantial right of ADS holders, it will not become effective for outstanding ADSs until 30 days
after the depositary notifies ADS holders of the amendment. At the time an amendment becomes effective, you are considered,
by continuing to hold your ADS, to agree to the amendment and to be bound by the ADRs and the deposit agreement as amended.
How May the Deposit Agreement
Be Terminated?
The depositary will terminate the deposit
agreement at our direction by mailing a notice of termination to the ADS holders then outstanding at least 90 days prior to
the date fixed in such notice for such termination. The depositary may also terminate the deposit agreement by mailing a notice
of termination to us and the ADS holders then outstanding if at any time 90 days shall have expired after the depositary shall
have delivered to our company a written notice of its election to resign and a successor depositary shall not have been appointed
and accepted its appointment.
After termination, the depositary and its
agents will do the following under the deposit agreement but nothing else: collect dividends and other distributions on the deposited
securities, sell rights and other property, and deliver shares and other deposited securities upon cancellation of ADSs. One year
after termination, the depositary may sell any remaining deposited securities by public or private sale. After that, the depositary
will hold the money it received on the sale, as well as any other cash it is holding under the deposit agreement for the pro
rata benefit of the ADS holders that have not surrendered their ADSs. It will not invest the money and has no liability for
interest. The depositary’s only obligations will be to account for the money and other cash. After termination our only obligations
will be to indemnify the depositary and to pay fees and expenses of the depositary that we agreed to pay.
Limitations on Obligations and Liability
Limits on Our Obligations and
the Obligations of the Depositary; Limits on Liability to Holders of ADSs
The deposit agreement expressly limits our
obligations and the obligations of the depositary. It also limits our liability and the liability of the depositary. We and the
depositary:
|
●
|
are only obligated to take the actions specifically set forth in the deposit agreement without negligence or bad faith;
|
|
●
|
are not liable if either of us is prevented or delayed by law or circumstances beyond our control from performing our obligations
under the deposit agreement;
|
|
●
|
are not liable if either of us exercises discretion permitted under the deposit agreement;
|
|
●
|
have no obligation to become involved in a lawsuit or other proceeding related to the ADSs or the deposit agreement on your
behalf or on behalf of any other party if it involves expenses or liability unless you furnish satisfactory indemnity;
|
|
●
|
may rely upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting shares for deposit and any
other holder of ADSs or any other person if we believe in good faith such person is competent to give such advice or information.
|
In the deposit agreement, we and the depositary
agree to indemnify each other under certain circumstances.
Requirements for Depositary Actions
Before the depositary will deliver or register
a transfer of an ADS, make a distribution on an ADS, or permit withdrawal of shares, the depositary may require:
|
●
|
payment of stock transfer or other taxes or other governmental charges and transfer or registration fees charged by third parties
for the transfer of any shares or other deposited securities;
|
|
●
|
satisfactory proof of the identity and genuineness of any signature or other information it deems necessary; and
|
|
●
|
compliance with regulations it may establish, from time to time, consistent with the deposit agreement, including presentation
of transfer documents.
|
The depositary may refuse to deliver ADSs
or register transfers of ADSs generally when the transfer books of the depositary or our transfer books are closed or at any time
if the depositary or we think it advisable to do so.
Your Right to Receive the Shares
Underlying Your ADRs
You have the right to cancel your ADSs and
withdraw the underlying shares at any time except:
|
●
|
When temporary delays arise because: (i) the depositary has closed its transfer books or we have closed our transfer books;
(ii) the transfer of shares is blocked to permit voting at a shareholders’ meeting; or (iii) we are paying a dividend
on our shares.
|
|
●
|
When you or other ADS holders seeking to withdraw shares owe money to pay fees, taxes and similar charges.
|
|
●
|
When it is necessary to prohibit withdrawals in order to comply with any laws or governmental regulations that apply to ADSs
or to the withdrawal of shares or other deposited securities.
|
This right of withdrawal may not be limited
by any other provision of the deposit agreement.
Pre-Release of ADSs
The deposit agreement permits the depositary
to deliver ADSs before deposit of the underlying shares. This is called a pre-release of the ADSs. The depositary may also deliver
shares upon cancellation of pre-released ADSs (even if the ADSs are cancelled before the pre-release transaction has been closed
out). A pre-release is closed out as soon as the underlying shares are delivered to the depositary. The depositary may receive
ADSs instead of shares to close out a pre-release. The depositary may pre-release ADSs only under the following conditions: (1) before
or at the time of the pre-release, the person to whom the pre-release is being made represents to the depositary in writing that
it or its customer owns the shares or ADSs to be deposited and assigns all beneficial rights, title and interest in such shares
or ADSs to the depositary; (2) the pre-release is fully collateralized with cash or other collateral that the depositary considers
appropriate; and (3) the depositary must be able to close out the pre-release on not more than five business days’ notice.
In addition, the depositary will limit the number of ADSs that may be outstanding at any time as a result of pre-release to 30%
of the deposited shares, although the depositary may disregard the limit from time to time, if it thinks it is appropriate to do
so.
TAXATION
If required, the material Australian and
U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of any of the securities offered by this
prospectus will be set forth in the prospectus supplement offering those securities.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
We may, from time to time, issue units comprised
of one or more of the other securities that may be offered under this prospectus, in any combination.
Each unit will be issued so that the holder
of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations
of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included
in the unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time, or at any time before a specified date.
Any applicable prospectus supplement will
describe:
|
●
|
the material terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances
those securities may be held or transferred separately;
|
|
●
|
any material provisions relating to the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities
comprising the units; and
|
|
●
|
any material provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described above.
|
The description in the applicable prospectus
supplement of any units we offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable
unit agreement, which will be filed with the SEC if we offer units. For more information on how you can obtain copies of the applicable
unit agreement if we offer units, see the sections entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation
of Certain Information by Reference.” We urge you to read the applicable unit agreement and any applicable prospectus supplement
in their entirety.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTROLS AND OTHER
LIMITATIONS
Australia has largely abolished exchange
controls on investment transactions. The Australian dollar is freely convertible into U.S. dollars. In addition, there are currently
no specific rules or limitations regarding the export from Australia of profits, dividends, capital, or similar funds belonging
to foreign investors, except that certain payments to non-residents must be reported to the Australian Cash Transaction Reports
Agency, which monitors such transactions, and amounts on account of potential Australian tax liabilities may be required to be
withheld unless a relevant taxation treaty can be shown to apply.
The Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975
Under Australian law, in certain circumstances
foreign persons are prohibited from acquiring more than a limited percentage of the shares in an Australian company without approval
from the Australian Treasurer. These limitations are set forth in the Australian Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act, or the
Takeovers Act.
In March 2020 the Australian government
made temporary changes which had the effect of removing certain exemptions from the requirement for foreign persons to notify to
the Foreign Investments Review Board (“FIRB”) and obtain approval from the Australian Treasurer for acquisitions of
interests in Australian companies. Those changes reduced the threshold values below which a range of exemptions to notification
or approval applied to zero. However the other conditions for determining whether notification or approval is required have not
been altered. As a consequence, subject to a limited exception for pro rata offers to shareholders, acquisitions of interests by
a foreign person, together with associates, of 20% or more in our issued voting shares require notification and approval. An acquisition
of an interest in 10% or more of our issued voting shares by a foreign government investor, or where a foreign investor has a legal
arrangement in place with us or is in a position to participate in, influence or control the management of our company, requires
notification to FIRB and approval. The notification and approval requirements also apply to acquisitions that increase interests
that are already above these levels. If the necessary approvals are not obtained, the Treasurer may make an order requiring the
acquirer to dispose of the shares it has acquired within a specified period of time.
It is not known when the temporary measures
will cease to apply or may be changed. If the temporary measures cease to apply and no further changes are made before or at the
time they cease to apply:
|
●
|
Under the Takeovers Act, as in effect before the temporary changes referred to above came into force, any foreign person, together
with associates, is prohibited from acquiring 20% or more of the shares in any company having total assets of A$275 million or
more. In addition, a foreign person may not acquire shares in a company having total assets of A$275 million or more if,
as a result of that acquisition, the total holdings of all foreign persons and their associates will exceed 40% in aggregate without
the approval of the Australian Treasurer. However for U.S. investors and investors from certain other countries, a threshold of
A$1,192 million applied (except in certain circumstances) to each of the previous acquisitions. A “U.S. investor” is
defined by the Takeovers Act as a U.S. national or a U.S. enterprise.
|
|
●
|
If the necessary approval is not obtained, the Treasurer may make an order requiring the acquirer to dispose of the shares
it has acquired within a specified period of time. Under the Australian foreign investment policy in effect before the temporary
changes referred to above came into force, however, it was unlikely that the Treasurer would make such an order where the level
of foreign ownership exceeds 40% in the ordinary course of trading, unless the Treasurer finds that the acquisition is contrary
to the national interest. The same rule applied if the total holdings of all foreign persons and their associates already
exceeded 40% and a foreign person (or its associate) acquired any further shares, including in the course of trading in the secondary
market of the ADSs. At present, we do not have total assets of A$275 million.
|
If the level of foreign ownership exceeds
40% at any time, we would be considered a foreign person under the Takeovers Act. In such event, we would be required to obtain
the approval of the Treasurer for our company, together with our associates, to acquire (i) more than 20% of an Australian company
or business (if the temporary measures cease to apply, of an Australian company or business with assets totaling over A$275 million);
or (ii) any direct or indirect ownership interest in Australian residential real estate.
The percentage of foreign ownership in our
company would also be included in determining the foreign ownership of any Australian company or business in which it may choose
to invest. Since we have no current plans for any such acquisitions and do not own any property, any such approvals required to
be obtained by us as a foreign person under the Takeovers Act will not affect our current or future ownership or lease of property
in Australia.
Our Constitution does not contain any additional
limitations on a non-resident’s right to hold or vote our securities.
Australian law requires the transfer of
shares in our company to be made in writing. No stamp duty will be payable in Australia on the transfer of ADSs.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION
We filed a registration statement on Form
F-3 to register with the SEC the securities described in this prospectus. This prospectus is part of that registration statement.
This prospectus, which constitutes a part of the registration statement, summarizes material provisions of contracts and other
documents that we refer to in the prospectus. Since this prospectus does not contain all of the information contained in the registration
statement, you should read the registration statement and its exhibits and schedules for further information with respect to us
and our ordinary shares and the ADSs. Our SEC filings, including the registration statement, are also available to you on the SEC’s

We are subject to the information reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to foreign private issuers, and under those requirements we file reports with
the SEC. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content
of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit
recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to
file annual, quarterly and current reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States
companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we file with the SEC, within four months after the end
of each fiscal year, or such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements
audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, and submit to the SEC, on Form 6-K, unaudited quarterly financial
information for the first three quarters of each fiscal year within 60 days after the end of each such quarter, or such applicable
time as required by the SEC.
