and who hold at least 100,000 MSF shares (Eligible

the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional. Accordingly,
Mitr Siam has established the Facility to enable Eligible
Shareholders to indicate their intentions to accept the
Offer.
Pacific Custodians Pty Limited (Facility Operator) will
operate the Facility.
2.2 Operation of the Facility
The Facility will operate in the following way:
(a) Eligible Shareholders may lodge acceptance instructions
(Acceptance Instructions)

(b) The Facility Operator will hold the Acceptance
Instructions subject to a bare trust and will not acquire a
relevant interest in any of the MSF shares the subject of the
Acceptance Instructions.
(c) The Facility Operator must deliver: (i) the Acceptance
Forms to:
(A) in the case of Issuer Sponsored Holdings, Link Market
Services
Limited (as Mitr Siam's share registry) (Link); or
(B) in the case of CHESS Holdings, either Link or the
relevant
Controlling Participant; and
(ii) the Custodian Directions to the relevant custodian,

that have not been fulfilled or waived;
(ii) Mitr Siam has announced to ASX that on a certain date
(being no more than
15 days from the date of the announcement) Mitr Siam will
declare the Offer free from all conditions that have not been
fulfilled or waived (Announcement); or
(iii) Mitr Siam will make the Announcement to ASX as soon as
all the delivered Acceptance Instructions are validly
implemented or processed (as appropriate).
Eligible Shareholders are able to withdraw their Acceptance
Instructions at any time prior to the Facility Operator
receiving the Confirmation Notice from Mitr Siam.
