Your Runge shares

Q. What type of securities does Runge Limited (Runge) have on issue?

A. Ordinary shares.

Q. What stock exchange is Runge listed on?

A. The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), trading under the code RUL.

Q. What is Issuer Sponsorship?

A. Issuer Sponsorship replaced share certificates in 1997. Issuer Sponsorship enables shareholders to hold their securities in 'paperless' form (like the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS) of the ASX), but without being tied to a particular broker. However, unlike CHESS, shareholders cannot hold securities in different companies under the one identifying holder number. Your SRN typically begins with the letter 'I' (which may look like the numeral '1' in some fonts).

Instead of receiving share certificates, holders receive holding statements (like CHESS) which show all details and movements such as purchases and sales. Statements are issued when you first become a Runge shareholder, and are dispatched within five business days of the end of any month in which transactions occur.

One of the important things to remember about Issuer Sponsorship is that your security holder reference number (SRN) should be treated like a bank account PIN and not disclosed to third parties (except when authorised by you for a particular purpose – e.g. trading, etc.). Please quote your SRN in any correspondence with Computershare (Runge's share registry provider). This will enable Computershare to correctly identify you and fulfil your requests.

Q. What is Broker Sponsorship?

A. Broker Sponsorship enables shareholders who are regular traders with a particular broker to have all of their holdings in different companies recorded under one holder identification number (HIN). Your HIN begins with the letter 'X'. Again, it is extremely important that the confidentiality of your HIN is maintained.

Broker sponsored holdings are maintained on ASX's CHESS system. Your broker can explain this to you in more detail.

Another very important thing to know about Broker Sponsorship is that nearly all changes (changes of address, etc.) must be made through your sponsoring broker. This is to ensure that their records about you are accurate.

Q. How many Runge shares do I hold?

A. Your shareholding details are available from the Investor Centre area of the Computershare website. Computershare is Runge's share registry provider.

Q. How do I buy or sell Runge shares?

A. Runge shares can be bought or sold through a registered stockbroker. The ASX operates a stockbroker referral service; contact the ASX on 1300 300 279 (Australia only) or go to http://www.asx.com.au.

Q. How can I transfer my Runge shares to a family member or other person?

A. If you wish to transfer your Runge shares to another person, and not through selling your shares on the stock exchange (i.e. in an off-market transfer), you will need to complete a transfer of ownership form quoting your SRN. Transfer of ownership and other forms are available from the Investor Centre area of the Computershare website. Computershare is Runge's share registry provider.

Q. What happens if the holder dies?

A. If the Runge shareholding is in the sole name of the deceased, the solicitor or representative of the estate should notify Computershare (Runge's share registry provider) of the death and whether or not an application for probate is being made. Computershare will then advise the procedures for dealing with the holding. If the deceased is a joint holder, you should forward a certified copy of the death certificate with a request that the holding be registered in the name of the surviving holder. The request should include the holding's SRN.

Q. I sold some of my Runge shares during the financial year. Can I have a history of my holding?

A. A history of your holding is available from the Investor Centre area of the Computershare website. Computershare is Runge's share registry provider.

Q. I want to sell my Runge shares, but my broker needs my SRN/HIN – where do I find this?

A. Your SRN/HIN is in the top right area of your Runge holding statement.

Q. I can't locate my SRN/HIN. Can you give it to me over the phone or internet?

A. For security reasons we cannot give you your SRN/HIN over the phone or the internet. We can send you a replacement holding statement to your registered address. This statement will contain the number. Please contact Computershare (Runge's share registry provider).

Q. What happens if my SRN or holding statement has been stolen?

A. Please contact Computershare (Runge's share registry provider), immediately either by phone, mail or fax. A lock will be placed on the holding to prevent any unauthorised trading. A statement will then be issued advising you of your new SRN/HIN.

Q. How do I amalgamate several holdings of Runge shares?

A1. For Issuer Sponsored shareholders: If the names, addresses and banking instructions are identical, and they are Issuer Sponsored, the Runge shareholdings can be amalgamated. Simply write, fax or email Computershare (Runge's share registry provider), quoting each SRN and requesting that they be amalgamated. Where the names, addresses or banking instructions are not identical, please contact Computershare (Runge's share registry provider) for specific instructions.

A2. For Broker Sponsored shareholders: If one or more of your Runge shareholdings is Broker Sponsored, you will need to contact your broker to arrange the amalgamation. Computershare (Runge's share registry provider) is not permitted to make changes to Broker Sponsored holdings.

AGM, results and dividends

Q. When is the Runge Annual General Meeting held?

A. The AGM is held in November each year. See the Corporate Calendar for dates.

Q. When can I expect to receive Runge's Annual Report and Notice of Meeting?

A. If you are a shareholder, and have elected to receive an Annual Report, you can expect to receive your Annual Report and Notice of Meeting in October each year (see the Corporate Calendar for dates.). If you have not elected to receive an Annual Report, you will only receive a Notice of Meeting. If you have not received your documents by this date, please contact Computershare (Runge's share registry provider).

Q. What dividends have been declared on Runge ordinary shares?

A. View the dividend payment history page for more information.

Q. How can I receive my Runge dividend payment?

A. Runge dividends are paid by cheque, or credited directly into shareholders' bank, building society, credit union or cash management accounts. Direct credit is a common method for paying shareholder dividends, and is much safer than a mailed cheque.

Q. If I do not receive a cheque in the mail, how will I know that I have been paid a dividend by Runge?

A. If you have elected to receive your dividends via direct credit into your back account, you will continue to receive a dividend statement from Runge setting out the date of payment, the dividend rate, amount of dividend, franked and unfranked amounts and franking credit. The statement will also tell you where the funds were deposited. You can also access your dividend payment history from Computershare (Runge's share registry provider).

Q. What happens if I change my bank account details?

A. Your Runge dividends will be paid according to the payment information held by Computershare (Runge's share registry provider) at the record date. You can change your payment instructions at any time by contacting Computershare (Runge's share registry provider) or obtaining a form from Computershare.

Q. How certain can I be that my bank details will be kept private?

A. Runge is bound by the Australian Privacy Act 1988. Your payment information will be held by Computershare (Runge's share registry provider) and will only be used for the purposes of paying dividends or other payments relating to your shareholding. Your privacy will be maintained in the same way as our registry treats shareholder Tax File Numbers.

Q. Can my dividends be reinvested in additional shares?

A. Runge does not operate a dividend reinvestment plan. If you wish to acquire shares using your dividend proceeds, you will need to contact your broker and purchase the shares on market.

Tax information

Q. Should I provide my Tax File Number (TFN) or Australian Business Number (ABN)?

A. You are not required to quote your TFN or ABN. However, if you choose not to provide your TFN, ABN or exemption category, and you are an Australian resident for taxation purposes, Runge is required to deduct tax at the highest tax rate, plus the Medicare levy, from any unfranked portion of your dividend. Collection of TFNs is strictly regulated by taxation laws.

If you wish to quote your TFN or ABN or exemption category please contact Computershare (Runge's share registry provider) or download the relevant form from the Investor Centre on Computershare's website.

If you are unsure as to whether you fall within an exemption category, the exemption category number relevant to you, or whether you require a TFN or ABN, you should contact the Australian Taxation Office (http://www.ato.gov.au).

Q. How do I provide my TFN?

A. If you are an Australian resident for taxation purposes, your TFN can be supplied to Computershare (Runge's share registry provider) via mail, fax or phone.

Change of name/address

Q. How do I advise Runge's share registry of a change of address?

A. You may advise Computershare (Runge's share registry provider) your change of details by phone or in writing — you will need to include your SRN. Alternatively, you can download a Change of Address form from the Investor Centre area on Computershare's website, then post it to Computershare once it is completed and signed.

Your change of address notification needs to be signed by the shareholder(s). If you have a joint shareholding, all joint shareholders need to sign the Change of Address form.

If your holding is broker sponsored in CHESS you must notify any change of address to your sponsoring broker.

Q. Can I correct the spelling of my name?

A. To have the spelling of your name corrected you must complete a Name Correction Request and Indemnity form which you can download from the Investor Centre area on Computershare's website, then post it to Computershare once it is completed and signed. There can be no change of beneficial interest in making a correction in this manner.

If your holding is broker sponsored in CHESS you must ask your broker to make the correction for you.

Q. Can I have my Runge shareholding changed to my married name?

A. To enable your shares to be registered in your married name, you must write to Computershare (Runge's share registry provider) requesting the change, quoting your SRN and enclosing a copy of your marriage certificate.

If your holding is broker sponsored in CHESS you must ask your broker to make the change for you.

Contact information

Q. Who can I contact if I have any more questions?

A. Please contact Computershare (Runge's share registry provider) if you have any further questions regarding your Runge shareholding.
