CGT Declaration Form
If Strike determines (acting reasonably) that it is required to pay a CGT withholding amount to the Commissioner of
Taxation with respect to the acquisition of the Talon Scheme Shares, it is entitled to do so under the Scheme
Implementation Deed.
If you receive a CGT Declaration Form, it means that Strike considers, or reasonably believes, that you are a relevant
‘foreign resident’ for the purposes of the Australian foreign resident capital gains withholding tax regime.
The purpose of the CGT Declaration Form is to provide the opportunity for relevant Talon Scheme Shareholders to
provide a declaration and prevent the need for Strike to withhold any Scheme Consideration.
If you receive a CGT Declaration Form, you should ensure that you read it in full and follow the instructions for
completing and returning the CGT Declaration Form (which can be found on the CGT Declaration Form).
If you do not receive a CGT Declaration Form, no further action is required to be taken on your part in relation to this
form or the declaration.
This announcement has been approved and authorised for release by the Board of Talon Energy Limited.
