Answer

2.1

*Statement for month and year

Appendix 4A should be provided within 5 business days of the calendar month end, regardless of whether there is a change or not.

Month: September

Year: 2024

2.2

*Number and class of all ASX quoted CDIs

Repeat the following information for each class of CDIs quoted on ASX:

ASX security code
LNW

Security description

CDI 1:1 FOREIGN EXEMPT XNGS

CDI ratio2:

1:1

Total number of CDIs quoted on ASX at end of statement month (A):
24,788,189

Total number of CDIs quoted on ASX at end of previous month (B):
24,061,207

Net difference3 (A-B):

726,982

If the total number of CDIs quoted on ASX at the end of the statement month (A), is greater than the total number of CDIs for which the entity has previously paid an initial listing fee or an additional listing fee under Table 1A and 1C of Guidance Note 15A (C), the entity hereby applies for +quotation of the difference (A – C) and agrees to the matters set out in Appendix 2A of the ASX Listing Rules.

As quoted/ held on NASDAQ

2.3

ASX security code:

63,890,284

Total number of securities
at end of previous month (B):

Net difference (A-B):

Reason for change: Transfer of securities between CDIs & Common Shares, decreases in Common Shares repurchased by the issuer's ongoing share repurchase program offset by an increase in total shares outstanding pursuant to vesting of issuer's outstanding RSUs & exercise of previously issued options to Common Shares.

________________________________

2 This is the ratio at which CDIs can be transmuted into the underlying security (e.g. 4:1 means 4 CDIs represent 1 underlying security whereas 1:4 means 1 CDI represents 4 underlying securities).

3 The net difference should equal the number of underlying securities transmuted into CDIs during the month less the number of CDIs transmuted into underlying securities during the month..
