For Main Board listed issuers

2. Please insert the closing balance date of the last Next Day Disclosure Return published pursuant to paragraph 4A of the Listing Agreement or Monthly Return pursuant to paragraph 4B of the Listing Agreement, whichever is the later.
3. Please set out all changes in issued units requiring disclosure pursuant to paragraph 4A of the Listing Agreement together with the relevant dates of issue. Each category will need to be disclosed individually with sufficient information to enable the user to identify the relevant category in the Scheme's Monthly Return. For example, multiple issues of units as a result of multiple exercises of unit options under the same unit option scheme or of multiple conversions under the same conv ertible note must be aggregated and disclosed as one category. However, if the issues resulted from exercises of unit options under 2 unit option schemes or conversions of 2 convertible notes, these must be disclosed as 2 sep arate categories.
4. The percentage change in the number of units in the Scheme is to be calculated by reference to the number of units in the Scheme (excluding for such purpose any units repurchased or redeemed but not yet cancelled) as it was immediately before the earliest relevant event which has not been disclosed in a Monthly Return or Next Day Disclosure Return.
5. Where trading in the units of the Scheme has been suspended, "closing market price per unit of the immediately preceding business day" should be construed as "closing market price per unit of the business day on which the units were last traded".
6. In the context of a repurchase of units:

"issues of units" should be construed as "repurchases of units"; and

"issued units as a % of the existing number of units before relevant unit issue" should be construed as "repurchased units as a % of the existing number of units before relevant unit repurchase"; and

"issue price per unit" should be construed as "repurchase price per unit".

7. In the context of a redemption of units:

"issues of units" should be construed as "redemptions of units";

"issued units as a % of the existing number of units before relevant unit issue" should be construed as "redeemed units as a % of the existing issued number of units before relevant unit redemption"; and

"issue price per unit" should be construed as "redemption price per unit".

8. The closing balance date is the date of the last relevant event being disclosed.
