19 May 2014

Dear fellow shareholder

The vote by shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on 13 May 2014 has resulted in considerable change in your Company with the appointment of three new Directors to the Board and a clear indication from the majority of shareholders that they are looking to the Board to return cash to them as expeditiously as possible. Since the EGM, the newly constituted Board has been working constructively to achieve this common objective and to find a solution which satisfies the requirements of as many shareholders as possible.

As a result of the EGM vote, a number of technical amendments were required to the Notice of Meeting for the Annual General Meeting. In addition following a meeting of the newly constituted Board, it was agreed to change several of the recommendations included in the Notice of Meeting. The changes to the Notice and the new recommendations were set out in an announcement to the market on 14 May 2014.

To ensure that Shareholders are fully informed prior to the meeting, your Board decided that rather than provide you with a lengthy amending document, the whole Notice of Meeting and Proxy Form would be amended and reissued to reflect the changes outlined in the 14 May announcement. I take this opportunity to summarise the changes to the Notice of Meeting and the recommendations.

Return of Capital Resolution

The clear indication from the vote at the EGM was that the majority of Shareholders want to see the Company returning cash to them as quickly as possible. Without question the quickest way to achieve this end is to proceed with the return of capital resolution included in the Notice of Meeting. In this way Shareholders will receive the Australian dollar equivalent of US$0.258 per share within a few weeks of the Annual General Meeting. For this reason, your Directors now recommend that shareholders vote for the resolution.

Intentions of the Board if the Return of Capital is not approved

For the Return of Capital Resolution to pass, 75% of the votes cast at the meeting must support it. In the event that the Return of Capital is not approved by Shareholders, the Board will prepare an alternate proposal (or proposals) including a share buy-back as soon as practical. The share buyback will be designed to provide those Shareholders who wish to exit the Company register with an opportunity to do so.

Changes to Annual General Meeting Resolutions

A number of the resolutions to be put to the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 30 May 2014 need to be changed to reflect the outcome of the 13 May EGM.

Resolutions 9 to 11 are amended as follows:

The following resolutions have been withdrawn and will not be considered at the meeting

Summary of Directors' Recommendations

Individual Directors have undertaken to vote all shares controlled by them in accordance with the recommendations and in support of the Remuneration Report (Resolution 2) to the extent that is permissible under the Corporations Act. The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected Proxies in accordance with the Directors' recommendations and in support of the Remuneration Report (Resolution 2) to the extent that is permissible under the Corporations Act.

Conclusion

In my earlier letter to you, I noted that at this Annual General Meeting, Shareholders will vote to determine the future direction of the Company. This remains as true today as before the EGM. I urge all Shareholders to take the opportunity to express your view by attending the AGM or by sending your proxy vote.
