Key Risks<br />
1. Specific risks relating to investing in the <strong>Offer</strong> Shares<br />
1.1 Market Conditions<br />
The market price of shares can fall, as well as rise, <strong>and</strong> may be subject to varied <strong>and</strong> unpredictable influences. Neither <strong>AJ</strong>L nor the Directors warrant the<br />
future performance of the <strong>Offer</strong> Shares, <strong>AJ</strong>L or any return on an investment in <strong>AJ</strong>L.<br />
1.2 Liquidity<br />
There can be no guarantee that an active market in the Shares on ASX will exist at all times. There may be relatively few or many potential buyers or sellers<br />
of the Shares on the ASX at any given time. This may increase the volatility of the market price. It may also affect the market price at which Shareholders<br />
are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for Shares that is less or more than the <strong>Offer</strong> Price for <strong>Offer</strong> Shares.<br />
Liquidity in <strong>AJ</strong>L shares has typically been low <strong>and</strong> there can be no assurance that liquidity will improve.<br />
1.3 Future issue of securities of <strong>AJ</strong>L<br />
While <strong>AJ</strong>L anticipates that the Recapitalisation Plan will substantially reduce its debt <strong>and</strong> meet its funding needs to sustain its investment in Cuadrilla <strong>and</strong> for<br />
the Bowl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Bolney Projects until after CY2014, this will depend upon the full Recapitalisation Plan being completed <strong>and</strong> <strong>AJ</strong>L’s ability to generate<br />
income from its operations. Accordingly, it is possible that <strong>AJ</strong>L may require further financing in addition to the amounts raised under the <strong>Offer</strong> <strong>and</strong> other<br />
elements of the Recapitalisation Plan. Any additional equity financing may dilute shareholdings, <strong>and</strong> any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions<br />
on financing <strong>and</strong> operating activities. Any inability to obtain additional finance, if required, could have a material adverse effect on <strong>AJ</strong>L’s operations <strong>and</strong> its<br />
financial condition <strong>and</strong> performance. (See also Slide 19 - Forward Program for Cuadrilla)<br />
A condition of Kerogen’s consent is that any equity raising at <strong>AJ</strong>L over the next 12 months must be way of pro-rata offer.<br />
