(1) In addition, pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) as is necessary to eliminate any dilutive effect of any future stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction.
(2) Consists of shares of Common Stock previously authorized for issuance under the 2011 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) on January 1, 2015, in connection with an “evergreen” provision contained in the Plan (the “Evergreen Increase”) for which equity awards have not been granted.
(3) This calculation is made solely for the purpose of determining the registration fee pursuant to the provisions of Rules 457(c) and 457(h) under the Securities Act. The price per share and aggregate offering price are calculated on the basis of the average of the high and low sale prices per share of the Common Stock (traded as fifty CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”)) on the Australian Securities Exchange (the “ASX”) as of a date (May 12, 2015) within 5 business days prior to filing this Registration Statement. The price of the Common Stock is calculated as the closing price of the CDIs as reported on the ASX multiplied by 50 (to account for the 1:50 ratio of Common Stock to CDIs) and then multiplied by the exchange rate reported by the Reserve Bank of Australia for that day.
(4) Consists of shares of Common Stock of the Registrant issuable upon exercise of stock options granted under the Plan from the Evergreen Increase to certain employees of the Registrant on April 10, 2015.
(5) Solely for the purposes of determining the registration fee under Rule 457(h) promulgated under the Securities Act, this price is equal to the per share exercise price of these stock options granted under the Plan.
