Selling Securities

1. The shareholder applying to sell shares (“Shareholder” or “You”) must provide to AFSC (‘AFSC’ or ‘Us/ We/ Our’):
   
   
   
   1. a request for the sale of their securities (‘Sale Securities’). This is done by completing and submitting a sale form online via the Aussie Share Sales Portal at www.aussiesharesales.com.au ; and
      
   
   
   2. the required identification.
      
   
   
   
   


2. You acknowledge and agree that any delay by you in satisfying the requirements in clause 1 may cause processing of the sale of your Sale Securities to be delayed or refused and AFSC will not be liable for any loss arising from the rejection or delay in the processing of the sale of your Sale Securities.


3. You acknowledge and agree that we will purchase the Sale Securities from you for the purpose of our effecting the sale and settlement of the Sale Securities on your behalf. The amount to be paid by us to you for the purchase of the Sale Securities will:
   
   
   
   1. be paid to you only after the Sale Securities are sold by us; and
   
   
   2. will be the amount for which the Sale Securities were sold by us.
   
   
   
   


4. You give us irrevocable authority to do all things and sign, complete and deliver any transfer form or any other document on your behalf that we consider necessary and/or that is required to give effect to the Sale Securities.

6. You acknowledge and agree that your sale form is provided on an ‘At Market’ basis only which means that the Sale Securities are provided into the market at the best available price, however, the execution and the price is not guaranteed. The Shareholder’s instructions in the sale form, once accepted by us, are irrevocable and cannot be withdrawn, amended or cancelled by you. You also acknowledge and agree that you cannot set a minimum price for the sale of your Sale Securities.


7. If the sale order is filled and executed, you will receive a contract note for each parcel of the Sale Securities sold. The contract note/s will be sent to the email address we have for you on file and if there is no email address, to your nominated postal address. You acknowledge and agree that AFSC’s dispatch of the contract note/s to the Shareholder’s email address will constitute the provision by AFSC of those documents to the Shareholder.

Sale Proceeds and Payment Methods

8. The settlement date for the sale of securities is usually 2 Trading Days following the date of the trade (T +2). Trading Days refers to the days that the Australian Stock Exchange (‘ASX’) is open.

9. You acknowledge and agree that:
   
   
   
   1. we will not be obliged to make any payment to you unless we have received the Proceeds. Upon receipt, the Proceeds less any fees payable to us will be electronically transferred to your nominated bank account;
