Key Risks<br />

Introduction<br />

As with all businesses, there are a number of factors that are specific to <strong>AJ</strong>L <strong>and</strong> of a general nature that may have a material impact on <strong>AJ</strong>L’s<br />

future operating <strong>and</strong> financial performance. This Section describes certain specific areas that are believed to be risks associated with <strong>AJ</strong>L <strong>and</strong><br />

with an investment in the new shares being offered under the Institutional Placement <strong>and</strong> <strong>Entitlement</strong> <strong>Offer</strong> (<strong>Offer</strong> Shares).<br />

Each of the risks described below could, if they eventuate, have a material impact on <strong>AJ</strong>L's operating <strong>and</strong> financial performance <strong>and</strong> on the<br />

market price of <strong>AJ</strong>L’s shares. These risk factors are not exhaustive. Whilst some of the risks identified can be mitigated by the use of<br />

safeguards <strong>and</strong> appropriate systems <strong>and</strong> actions, many of these risks are outside the control of <strong>AJ</strong>L, the Directors <strong>and</strong> the senior executives of<br />

<strong>AJ</strong>L.<br />

Risks have been outlined in three categories:<br />

• specific risks relating to investing in the <strong>Offer</strong> Shares;<br />

• general risks relating to the operating businesses of <strong>AJ</strong>L <strong>and</strong> the markets in which they operate; <strong>and</strong><br />

• general risks relating to the investments of <strong>AJ</strong>L.<br />
