About Investor Centre Investor Centre allows you to view and update certain details of your securityholdings where the register of holders is maintained by Computershare and the Issuer of those securities has permitted holders to use Investor Centre in this manner. Accordingly, you may not be able to view or update information through Investor Centre in respect of all your securityholdings. You will be permitted ‘view only’ access of a single securityholding by providing the Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) or Holder Identification Number (HIN) and applicable postcode for that holding. If you access a Personalised URL emailed to you by Computershare you will be permitted ‘view only’ access of a single securityholding by providing the applicable postcode or country of residence for that holding. For ease, and subject to any specific Issuer requirements, you will also be able to create a portfolio of all your securityholdings in respect of which Computershare acts as share registrar. To view more than one holding in your portfolio, update the details of any securityholding or perform any transaction in respect of a securityholding, for security reasons, you will need to register as a user of Investor Centre (registered user) by providing a user name, a password, the answers to three security questions, a personal site seal and an email address. When you register with Investor Centre you will first be asked to enter the SRN or HIN and postcode for one of your securityholdings. The address of that holding will then be used as the mailing address for administrative purposes associated with Investor Centre (for example, to mail any access code or other information to you regarding Investor Centre). Your registered mailing address for each securityholding will still be used for any Issuer related communications to be sent by post. For security reasons, high value securityholdings will be required to enter an access code, which will be sent by mail to your Investor Centre nominated address. Until the access code is entered, you will be granted restricted access to Investor Centre in respect of that securityholding. Once you are a registered user, for each securityholding you include in your portfolio, you will be able to provide or modify: · your tax file number; · subject to any restrictions that may apply in relation to a particular Issuer (for example, where the Issuer only provides for payments to be credited to an account with an Australian financial institution), the bank, credit union or building society account into which dividend or distribution payments are to be paid for that holding; · your address for a securityholding that is on the Issuer sponsored sub-register (as any change of address for a securityholding which is sponsored by a CHESS Participant, for example, a stockbroker, must be notified to the participant directly); · how you want to receive communications from the Issuer, including whether you wish to receive a copy of the Issuer’s annual report electronically or in hard copy posted to your registered address; and · whether you wish to participate in an Issuer’s dividend reinvestment plan where the Issuer offers such a plan and has agreed with Computershare that instructions regarding that plan can be received through Investor Centre. Exclusions Computershare has taken, and will continue to take, reasonable care in publishing information through, and in recording changes made by you in, Investor Centre, but does not guarantee that the information is accurate or complete. In particular, Computershare is not responsible for: · the accuracy of the closing balance shown for a securityholding as there may be, for example, transactions being processed which are not yet reflected or a time delay between a transaction being effected and the information on Investor Centre being updated; · the accuracy of information provided by third parties; and · the verification or updating of any information which has been provided by you. It is your sole responsibility to review the information supplied to ensure it is accurate and complete. To the extent permitted by law, Computershare and its directors, officers and employees are not responsible for the result of any actions taken, or omissions made, on the basis of information provided or purported to be provided by you, or for any error in, or omission from, that information. To the extent permitted by law, all conditions, warranties, guarantees, rights, remedies, liabilities and other terms implied or conferred by statute, custom or the general law that impose any liability or obligation on Computershare are excluded under these terms and conditions.

Except in relation to non-excludable obligations, Computershare and each of its directors, officers and employees expressly exclude all liability (including liability in negligence) to any person (whether a reader of these terms and conditions or not) for any loss or damage incurred by that person in connection with an act or omission by that or another person arising out of or in reliance (whether wholly or in part) on any use of, or inability to use, the information and facilities made available through Investor Centre, including liability for loss or damage which may be incurred as a result of any inaccurate or incomplete provision or recording of information, except to the extent that any such loss or damage arose as a result of fraud or wilful default on the part of Computershare, its directors, officers or employees.
