CDIs trade on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and evidence beneficial ownership of Issuer's common stock on a ten-for-one basis. The conversion of 49,436 CDIs resulted in the Reporting Person's acquisition of 4,943 shares of common stock. The CDIs were converted into common stock at a conversion price equal to the market price of the common stock on the date of conversion.
(2)	The Reporting Person holds 12,480 directly and 4,943 indirectly held by Indubilla Pty Ltd on behalf of the Reporting Person's superannuation fund.
(3)	CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) trading on the ASX evidencing beneficial ownership of the Issuer's common stock on a ten-for-one basis. Effective February 10, 2010, the CDIs will be delisted from the ASX.
