4 We give ASX the information and documents required by this form. If any information or document not available now, will give it to ASX before +quotation of the +securities begins.

              Insert number of equity securities                                                              40,000,000

                *    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

              Step 4: Subtract "E" from ["A" x "D"] to calculate remaining 
               placement capacity under rule 7.1A 
              "A" x 0.10
