• Retail entitlements worth approximately $53 million were traded on the ASX between

Thursday, 21 July 2022 and Monday, 8 August 2022, at prices between $2.43 and

$4.10. The volume weighted average price for the retail entitlements traded during

this period was $3.75.


3. Sale of entitlements in the Retail Shortfall Bookbuild
