Description of Contest:

The Contest is a stock trading game that provides Participants with a fictional trading account, One Hundred Thousand (100,000) fictional dollars (“CNBC Dollars”) and the fictional ability to trade individual stocks on the Australian Securities Exchange 300 Index (“S&P/ASX 300”) exchange. At the end of the Contest, the winner will be announced on CNBC television and/or www.cnbc.com.au. 

Duration of Contest:

The Contest will begin on November 12, 2007 at 9:30:00 a.m. and end on February 15, 2008 at 3:59:59 p.m. (the “Contest Term”). 

Trading:

Each Participant begins the Contest with One Hundred Thousand (100,000) CNBC Dollars to create and manage a fictional portfolio of S&P/ASX 300-traded stocks.  Limit orders, open orders, short selling, margin buying, and the trading of derivatives, options, bonds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds or other securities is not permitted.  The Contest reserves the right to suspend trading in certain stocks or certain types of trades not specified in these rules due to unusual trading situations, computer system errors or situations beyond the control of the Contest.  Each Participant can make as many trades per Day as desired. Each trade will be charged a notional brokerage fee of $32.95 in CNBC Dollars.  A "Day" is defined as 4:00 p.m. to 3:59:59 p.m. on the next trading day.A trade is defined as a single purchase of one or more shares of a single stock for "cash" or a sale of one or more shares of a single stock for "cash."  Participants can enter trades seven days per week, at any time except during the period each day, if any, when maintenance is being performed on the Site.  It is currently expected that such maintenance will take place between approximately 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. each day; however, such timing may be changed as needed. Participants will have the ability to prioritize trades within a given day of trading; provided that, all sales will be processed before all purchases.  If a Participant does not elect to grant a ranking of priority, trades will default to prioritization based upon the time the trade is entered with earlier trades taking priority over any subsequently entered trades.If a Participant submits a trade that, in Promoter's sole discretion, is inappropriate, such trade will not be processed.  If a Participant enters a trade to buy, and at the time the trade is executed, the Participant's account does not have enough available cash to purchase the number of entered shares, the Participant will receive the maximum number of shares available to be purchased based on the Participant's available cash balance and in accordance with the priority of the stocks to be purchased. Stocks will be purchased in the order of priority until funds in the Participant's account are depleted. Pending trades can be cancelled up until 3:59:59 p.m. on the same day of the trade, however, all trades are final after 3:59:59 p.m.  It is each Participant's responsibility to review the "Pending Trades" section of the Site and confirm that each of his or her entered trades has been executed by the Site.  The Contest will not recognize any attempted trades that have not been executed by the Site.
Pricing of Trades:

Trades submitted on trading days (Monday through Friday, other than market holidays) prior to 3:59:59 p.m. will be priced at real time. The official time for all trades will be determined in accordance with http://www.tradingmatterschallenge.com.au's internal clock, maintained at Promoter offices.All pricing information is received from Comstock, an independent data provider, and Promoter is not responsible for the accuracy of such data. All prices are an approximation of market value at the time each trade is executed.  There is no guarantee that the price at which a Participant buys or sells a stock will match any other price that may be found outside of the Contest.  All prices are final.  Participants will not be permitted to dispute any price at which their trade is executed.
Portfolio Valuation:Each Participant's trades are processed, and his/her portfolio is recalculated every twenty minutes. Portfolio value is based on each stock's real time price, as provided to the Site by Comstock, plus any uninvested cash balances.

Trivia Questions:

On each trading day during the ten (10) weeks of the Contest listed in paragraph 3, under the heading “Registration”, Participants will be given the opportunity to answer one multiple-choice trivia question.  The question (the “Question”) will be asked on the air on CNBC television during the day between 9:30 a.m. and 3:59:59 p.m.  Participants will receive Ten Thousand (10,000) CNBC Dollars for each correctly answered Question. Questions will be posted after 9:30 a.m. each day, and will be available to be answered on the Site until 5:59:59 a.m. the following day.  A Participant who makes three incorrect attempts to answer a Question will be locked out from any further attempts to answer that Question.  The lock out will terminate once that particular Question is no longer available to be answered on the Site.  CNBC Dollars received by a Participant for correctly answering Questions will be added to his/her portfolio’s cash balance by 8:30 a.m. on the day after the trivia question was originally posted.  For purposes of clarification, there will be no trivia questions for bonus CNBC Dollars during Finals.

Refer-A-Friend:

The Refer-A-Friend scheme was terminated as of 30 November, 2007.Portfolio Valuation:

Each Participant’s trades are processed, and his/her portfolio is recalculated, once per trading day, no later than 8:30 a.m. on the following trading day.  Portfolio value is based on each stock’s closing price, as provided to the Site by Comstock, plus any uninvested cash balances. 

Special Processing of Corporate Actions:

The Contest will process stock splits, mergers and acquisitions, halted/suspended trading, delistings and ticker symbol changes. These corporate actions will be processed after the close of the markets on the date they occur, and will not count towards a Participant’s number of weekly trades.  In the event that a Participant’s account does not reflect a corporate action, the Participant must email the Site’s support department no later than 11:59:59 p.m. on the date of such corporate action, with the stock symbol, type of corporate action and effective date. Adjustments will be determined by Promoter in its sole discretion. Trades executed with funds incorrectly deposited due to corporate action issues or Site mistakes will be removed from the Participant’s account, but will count towards a Participant’s maximum daily trades.  The Contest reserves the right to suspend trading in a stock, or take any other action deemed necessary to cause the Site to properly adjust to a corporate action. 

Dividends, whether stock or cash, will not be processed or reflected in the Contest.  In the event of a stock split, the quantity and price of such stock will be adjusted after the market closes on the date of the stock split, and before 9:30 a.m. the following trading day.  If trading on a stock is suspended for any reason other than a merger or acquisition, the Contest will halt trading in the stock and Participants’ portfolio positions in the stock will be frozen until the stock is relisted or trading resumes.  Any suspension, halt or de-listing that recurs for the same stock within one calendar day after resolution or any such action will not be taken into account for purposes of valuation of portfolios for the Contest.  During such time that trading in a stock is halted, Participants will not be permitted to buy or sell such stock. The stock will remain in the Participant’s portfolio and will be valued based on the last price received from the Contest's data feed.  If a company is delisted from its exchange, it will automatically be sold at its last trading price prior to the delisting, as such price is provided to the Site.  In the event a stock is delisted due to a merger or acquisition, it shall be considered the equivalent of a sale and the sale price shall be the final price received by the Site for that stock.  All ticker symbol changes will be reflected on the Site within one (1) business day.
 
Prize Winners:

After trading closes on the Friday of each of the first eleven (11) weeks of the Contest, all trades are processed, all corrections (if any) are made, and all site maintenance is performed, the Participant with the highest percentage gain in his/her total portfolio value during such week will be declared the Weekly Winner for that week and will be entitled to receive a Weekly Prize, as described below, subject to confirmation of eligibility.  In the event of a tie, the Weekly Winner will be determined using the following tiebreakers: First, the highest dollar increase in total portfolio value during such week; Second, the most CNBC Dollars received by answering trivia questions during such week; Third, the most trades made during such week. In the further event of a tie, the Weekly Prize will be awarded to the Participant who registered earliest for the Contest.

If one or more Weekly Winners(s) also has a top ten portfolio, the Participant(s) with the next highest portfolio(s) will be eligible to participate in the Finals as a Finalist. For purposes of clarification, each Participant may only receive one (1) place in the Finals, irrespective of the number of portfolios entered. There is a limit of 25 trades per day for the duration of the finals (a trade is considered a buy or sell). In the event of a tie, the Participants eligible to enter the Finals will be determined using the following tiebreakers: First, the most CNBC Dollars received by answering trivia questions; Second, the most stock trades during the Contest; and Third, the Participant who registered the earliest for the Contest.  At the beginning of the Finals, the portfolio value for each Finalist will revert to One Hundred Thousand (100,000) CNBC Dollars.

After trading closes on February 15, 2008 and all trades are processed, the Finalist with the highest total portfolio value will be declared the Grand Prize Winner of the Contest and will be entitled to receive the Grand Prize, as described below.  In the event of a tie, the Grand Prize Winner will be determined using the following tiebreakers: First, the most CNBC Dollars received by answering trivia questions; Second, the most stock trades during the Contest; and Third, the Participant who registered the earliest for the Contest.  If there is still a tie, the Grand Prize will be awarded to the first name randomly drawn from among the tied Finalists.
