The Company will pay Fidelio a commission of 5% of Service Revenue collected for a period of 48  months from contracts with customers introduced by Fidelio during the term.  All share‐based compensation under the revised Fidelio agency agreement will now be subject to  shareholder approval, therefore providing the Company with increased capacity under its Listing  Rule 7.1, 15% capacity.  This will allow the Company to undertake the placement outlined above  within its Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A capacity.  If shareholder approval is not obtained, the Company will pay share‐based compensation to Fidelio  in cash.  For more information, please contact:  Tim Levy  Managing Director [email protected] +61 413 563 333  Tim Allerton  City Public Relations [email protected] +61 412 715 707  Tim Dohrmann  Investor Relations [email protected] +61 468 420 846
