2. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SECURITIES IN CONSIDERATION FOR PARKES PROJECT ACQUISITION

2.1 General

As set out in Section 1.1, the Company agreed to issue 383,333,333 Shares and 600,000,0000 Options in consideration for the acquisition of 72.5% of the Parkes Project. This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Consideration Securities.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

2.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and the Company will not be able to proceed with the acquisition of the Parkes Project.

4. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 3 – 11

4.1 Background

As announced on 29 November 2024, the Company received binding commitments to raise $1.675M (before costs) through a placement to new and existing professional and sophisticated investors ( Placement ). The Placement is being conducted as follows:

  • (a) 305,900,000 Shares, which were issued on 10 December 2024, comprising:

  • (i) 183,550,000 Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the Shares the subject of Resolution 3); and

  • (ii) 122,350,000 Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the Shares the subject of Resolution 4); and

  • (b) 329,900,000 Shares to unrelated participants in Tranche 2 of the Placement, subject to shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 5;

  • (c) 635,800,000 free attaching Options ( Placement Options ), which will be issued subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 6; and

  • (d) subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolutions 7 to 9, Messrs Allan Ritchie, Maurice Dominic Matich and John Hicks are participating in the Placement for a total of AU$85,500 (being 34,200,000 Shares and 34,200,000 free-attaching Placement Options).

11

4.2 Use of funds

Proceeds from the Placement will be used to accelerate exploration activities within the Parkes Gold and Copper Project with a primarily focus on increasing and upgrading the London-Victoria resource to JORC-qualifying status. Proceeds will also be used for Adavale’s maiden drilling program (aircore) at MacDonnell and George Creek prospects in South Australia for uranium.

4.3 Lead Manager

As noted at Section 1.2, the Company entered into the Advisor Mandate with GBA Capital pursuant to which GBA Capital had a first right of refusal to conduct any capital raisings for the Company, where the fee would be 6% of the proceeds raised (a 4% broker fee and 2% management fee) and options to be agreed.

The Company agreed to issue 50,250,000 Options to GBA Capital for lead manager services provided under the Advisor Mandate (approval of which is sought under Resolution 10).

The Company also agreed to pay a retainer fee of $7,000 per month to GBA Capital under the Advisor Mandate. The Company is seeking Shareholder Approval under Resolution 11 to issue Securities on the same terms as the Placement to GBA Capital in lieu of paying six months worth of retainer fees in cash.

5. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

5.1 General

The background to the Placement is set out above in Section 4.1.

These Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 305,900,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.0025 per Share to raise $764,750.

183,550,000 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 3) and 122,350,000 Shares were issued on 10 December 2024 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the subject of Resolution 4).

5.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.1 above.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an Eligible Entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 29 November 2024.

The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

5.3 Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.

12

5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If these Resolutions are passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES

6.1 General

13

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.1 above.

8. RESOLUTIONS 7 TO 9 – APPROVAL FOR DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION IN PLACEMENT – ALLAN RITCHIE, MAURICE DOMINIC MATICH AND JOHN HICKS

8.1 General

The background to the Placement is set out above in Section 4.1.

15

Resolutions 7 to 9 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of an aggregate of 34,200,000 Shares and 34,200,000 Options to Allan Ritchie, Maurice Dominic Matich and John Hicks (or their nominee(s)) on the terms and conditions set out below to enable the Directors to participate in the Company’s Placement on the same terms as unrelated participants.

Further details in respect of the intended participation of the Directors are set out in the table below.

TOTAL 34,200,000 34,200,000 $85,500

8.2 Director Recommendation

Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominee(s)) are to be issued Securities should these Resolutions be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on these Resolutions.

8.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

As Securities are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

8.4

Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

16

10.11.5

a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

8.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and the Company will not raise a further $85,500 under the Placement.

10.1 General

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 16,800,000 Shares, together with 16,800,000 free attaching Options, in lieu of six months of retainer fees payable to GBA Capital under the Advisor Mandate. The Securities are being issued on the same terms as the Placement.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.1 above.

The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and instead will have to pay the $42,000 owing to GBA Capital in cash.

11.2 Director Recommendation

  • (a) Allan Ritchie is an executive Director of the Company and therefore John Hicks believes that the issue of Securities to Allan Ritchie is in line with Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX CGPR, as the Securities being issued are linked to clearly specified performance targets, being the vesting conditions noted in Section 11.1 above, that are linked to the Company’s short, medium and longer performance targets and therefore beneficial to the Company and Shareholders if met;

  • (b) John Hicks acknowledges that the issue of Securities under Resolution 12 to a non-executive Director of the Company, Maurice Matich ( Non-Executive Director ), is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX CGPR. However John Hicks considers that the issue is reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in Section 11.6 and specifically, to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Maurice Matich to align the interests of Maurice Matich with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the Non-executive Director, and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate the Non-executive Director, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Non-executive Director;

  • (c) John Hicks recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of these Resolutions for the reasons set out in Section 11.6. In forming their recommendation, John hicks considered the experience of the proposed recipients, the current market price

22

of Shares, the current market standards and practices when determining the number of Performance Rights to be issued to each of the Related Parties, as well as the performance milestones and expiry date of those Performance Rights. John Hicks believes that as the Securities are linked to clearly specified performance targets, being the vesting conditions noted in Section 11.1 above, that are linked to the Company’s short, medium and longer performance targets, if the vesting conditions are met, it will be beneficial to the Company and Shareholders and therefore recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of these Resolutions; and

(d)

each Director (other than John Hicks) has a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions on the basis that the Directors (other than John Hicks) (or their nominee(s)) are to be issued Securities on the same terms and conditions should these Resolutions be passed. For this reason, the Directors (other than John Hicks) do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on these Resolutions.

11.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 8.3 above.

The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

As Securities are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors other than John Hicks, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

11.4 Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 8.4 above.

The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

11.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and the Company will look to different types of performance linked incentives in the remuneration packages for the proposed recipients.

Purpose of the
issue, including the
intended use of
any funds raised
by the issue
The purpose of the issue is to provide a performance linked
incentive component in the remuneration package for the
proposed recipients to align the interests of the proposed
recipients with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the
performance of the proposed recipients in their roles as Directors
and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to
remunerate the proposed recipients, which will allow the
Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its
operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration
were given to the proposed recipients.
Consideration of
type of Security to
be issued
The Company has agreed to issue the Performance Rights for the
following reasons:
(a)
the issue of the Performance Rights has no immediate
dilutionary impact on Shareholders;
(b)
the issues to Allan Ritchie and Maurice Matich will align
the interests of the recipient with those of Shareholders;
(c)
the issue is a reasonable and appropriate method to
provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash
form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a
greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations
than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration
were given to Allan Ritchie and Maurice Matich; and
(d)
it is not considered that there are any significant
opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone
by the Company in issuing the Incentive Performance
Rights on the terms proposed.
Consideration of
quantum of
Securities to be
issued
The number of Securities to be issued has been determined
based upon a consideration of:
(a)
current market standards and/or practices of other ASX
listed companies of a similar size and stage of
development to the Company;
(b)
the remuneration of the proposed recipients; and
(c)
incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of
the
proposed
recipients
who
have
appropriate
knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the
Company’s cash reserves.

12. RESOLUTION 14 – APPROVAL TO INCREASE MAXIMUM SECURITIES UNDER THE COMPANY’S EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN

12.1 General

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) to increase the maximum number of Securities that may be issued under the Plan from the present maximum of 61,188,628 to a maximum of 100,000,000 Securities.

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees, contractors and other persons who provide services to the Company, and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of securities under the Plan will provide these parties with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

26

12.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)

As summarised in Section 5.1 above, and subject to a number of exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

12.3 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of Securities stated in Section 12.4 below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Securities under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of Securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Securities.

A Performance Right will automatically lapse upon the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 3 years from the date of issue of the Performance Right; and

Tranche B Performance Rights

A Performance Right will automatically lapse upon the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 3 years from the date of issue of the Performance Right; and

  • (ii) the holder ceasing to be an officer (and employee, if applicable) or an employee of the Company (where they are not an officer at the time of issue), as applicable, unless otherwise determined by the Board at its absolute discretion.

Tranche C Performance Rights

A Performance Right will automatically lapse upon the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 3 years from the date of issue of the Performance Right; and

  • (ii) the holder ceasing to be an officer (and employee, if applicable) or an employee of the Company (where they are not an officer at the time of issue), as applicable, unless otherwise determined by the Board at its absolute discretion.

  • (e) Consideration

The Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration and no consideration will be payable upon the conversion of the Performance Rights into Shares.

35

(f) Share ranking

All Shares issued upon the vesting of Performance Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other existing Shares.

(g) Application to ASX

The Performance Rights will not be quoted on ASX. The Company must apply for the official quotation of a Share issued on conversion of a Performance Right on ASX within the time period required by the ASX Listing Rules.

(h) Timing of issue of Shares on conversion

Within 5 business days after the date that the Performance Rights are converted, the Company will:

  • (i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Performance Rights converted;

  • (ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and

  • (iii) if admitted to the Official List of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the conversion of the Performance Rights.

If a notice delivered under paragraph (h)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 business days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.

(i) Transfer of Performance Rights

The Performance Rights are not transferable.

(j) Participation in new issues

A Performance Right does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a Performance Right) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues without exercising the Performance Right.

(k) Reorganisation of capital

If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation.

(l) Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to the Company’s existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the number of Shares or other securities which must be issued on the conversion of a Performance Right will be increased by the number of Shares or other securities which the holder would have received if the holder had converted the Performance Right before the record date for the bonus issue.

(m)

Dividend and voting rights

The Performance Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends.

36

(n) Change in control

Subject to paragraph (o), upon:

  • (i) a bona fide takeover bid under Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act having been made in respect of the Company and:

  • (A) having received acceptances for not less than 50.1% of the Company’s Shares on issue; and

  • (B) having been declared unconditional by the bidder; or

  • (ii) a Court granting orders approving a compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies; or

  • (iii) in any other case, a person obtains Voting Power (as defined in the Corporations Act) in the Company that the Board (which for the avoidance of doubt will comprise those Directors immediately prior to the person acquiring that Voting Power) determines, acting in good faith and in accordance with their fiduciary duties, is sufficient to control the composition of the Board,

then, to the extent Performance Rights have not converted into Shares due to satisfaction of the relevant Vesting Conditions, Performance Rights will accelerate vesting conditions and will automatically convert into Shares on a one-for-one basis.

(o)

Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares

If the conversion of a Performance Right under paragraphs (c) or (n) would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:

  • (i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and

  • (ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (o)(i) within 7 days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.

(p)

No rights to return of capital

A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

  • (q)

Rights on winding up

A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.

(r) ASX Listing Rule compliance

The Board reserves the right to amend any term of the Performance Rights to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules.

(s) No other rights

A Performance Right gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and conditions and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.

37

S C H E DU L E 6 – TE R MS A N D C O N D IT I O N S O F I N C E N T I VE PL A N

A summary of the material terms of the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) is set out below.

out below.
ELIGIBLE
PARTICIPANT
Eligible Participantmeans a person that is a ‘primary participant’ (as that
term is defined in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act) in
relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as defined in
the Corporations Act) and has been determined by the Board to be
eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
PURPOSE The purpose of the Plan is to:
(a)
assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible
Participants;
(b)
link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value
creation; and
(c)
align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the
Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies
Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants
to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of
Shares or Convertible Securities including an Option or
Performance Right (Securities).
PLAN
ADMINISTRATION
The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any
power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and
absolute discretion (except to the extent that it prevents the Participant
relying on the deferred tax concessions under Subdivision 83A-C of the
Income Tax Assessment Act 1997(Cth)). The Board may delegate its
powers and discretion.
ELIGIBILITY,
INVITATION AND
APPLICATION
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant
may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible
Participant to apply for any (or any combination of) the Securities
provided under the Plan on such terms and conditions as the Board
decides. The invitation will include certain financial information, a
valuation of the Securities and a statement that the Company is solvent.
On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the
Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed
application form to the Company. The Board may accept an
application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.
If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible
Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in
whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.
GRANT OF
SECURITIES
Subject to the Monetary Cap (described below), the Company will, to
the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the
Participant the relevant number and type of Securities, subject to the
terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any
ancillary documentation required.
The Monetary Cap in a particular 12 month period will be the sum of:
(a)
$30,000;
(b)
70% of any distributions that a Participant receives in that year
from Securities issued under the Plan;
(c)
70% of performance-dependent cash bonuses the Participant
has received in that year; and
(d)
if there are unexercised Convertible Securities (as defined
below) of the Participant from the previous 5 years, an amount
equal to the price that would have been paid for those
unexercised Convertible Securities.

39

In calculating whether other payments fall under the Monetary Cap, the
following will be excluded:
(a)
after-tax salary deductions paid under a contribution plan
(however, such amounts are included at the point that they are
used to acquire Securities); and
(b)
amounts that only become payable during or immediately
before a liquidity period for the underlying Shares, where a
‘liquidity period’ includes a period during which the Shares are
listed. (This means that amounts payable to acquire Plan Shares
or to exercise Convertible Securities will not be counted if the
Company is or is about to be, listed. However, payments made
by Participants must be made no longer than 7 days before a
‘liquidity event’.)
RIGHTS ATTACHING
TO CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES
AConvertible Securityrepresents a right to acquire one or more Plan
Shares in accordance with the Plan (for example, an Option or a
Performance Right).
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, the holder:
(a)
does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any
Share the subject of the Convertible Security other than as
expressly set out in the Plan;
(b)
is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a meeting
of the shareholders of the Company;
(c)

transferred, have a security interest granted over or otherwise dealt with
unless in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan (including in
the case of death or total or permanent disability of the holder) with the
consent of the Board in which case the Convertible Securities may be
exercisable on terms determined by the Board.
A holder must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of
hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has
been granted to them.
VESTING OF
CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES
Any vesting conditions which must be satisfied before Convertible
Securities can be exercised and converted to Shares will be described in
the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise
waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by
the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities
have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the
Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have
vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to
a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the
Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
FORFEITURE OF
CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES
Convertible Securities will be forfeited in the following circumstances:
(a)
in the case of unvested Convertible Securities only, where the
holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer
employed or their office or engagement is discontinued with
the Company and any Associated Bodies Corporate (as
defined in the Corporations Act) (theGroup);
(b)
where a Participant acts fraudulently, dishonestly, negligently,
in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully breaches their
duties to the Group and the Board exercises its discretion to
deem some or all of the Convertible Securities held by a

40

Participant to have been forfeited;
(c)
where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in
accordance with the Plan;
(d)
on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or
(e)
on the expiry date of the Convertible Securities,
subject to the discretion of the Board.
LISTING OF
CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES
A Convertible Security granted under the Plan will not be quoted on the
ASX or any other recognised exchange. Should the Company become
listed, the Board reserves the right in its absolute discretion to apply for
quotation of an Option granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other
recognised exchange.
EXERCISE OF
CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES
To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed
notice of exercise and pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by
the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Security (if
subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in
the invitation or vesting notice.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that
Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or
such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
TIMING OF ISSUE OF
SHARES AND
QUOTATION OF
SHARES ON EXERCISE
As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security
by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to
that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled
under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining
unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
PLAN SHARES The Board may, from time to time, make an invitation to an Eligible
Participant to acquire Plan Shares under the Plan. The Board will
determine in its sole and absolute discretion the acquisition price (if any)
for each Plan Share which may be nil.
RIGHTS ATTACHING
TO PLAN SHARES
All Shares issued or transferred under the Plan or issued or transferred to a
Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security,
(Plan Shares) will rank equally in all respects with the Shares of the same
class for the time being on issue except for any rights attaching to the
Shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of the allotment
or transfer of the Plan Shares. A Participant will be entitled to any
dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares
and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the
Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any
voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
DISPOSAL
RESTRICTIONS ON
PLAN SHARES
If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any
restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a
period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate
to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the
Plan, the Participant will not:
(a)
transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security
interest granted over that Plan Share; or
(b)
take any action or permit another person to take any action to
remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the
express written consent of the Company.
GENERAL
RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER OF PLAN
SHARES
Should the Company become listed on the ASX, if the Company is
required but is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section
708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares issued on exercise of the
Convertible Securities may not be traded until 12 months after their issue
unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus

41

pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.
Restrictions are imposed by Applicable Law on dealing in Shares by
persons who possess material information likely to affect the value of the
Shares and which is not generally available. These laws may restrict the
acquisition or disposal of Shares by you during the time the holder has
such information.
Any Plan Shares issued to a holder under the Plan (including upon
exercise of Convertible Securities) shall be subject to the terms of the
Company’s Securities Trading Policy (if applicable).
CHANGE OF
CONTROL
If a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any
person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50%
of the Company’s issued capital), unvested Convertible Securities will
vest unless the Board determines in its discretion otherwise. The Board’s
discretion in determining the treatment of any unvested Convertible
Securities on a change of control event is limited to vesting or varying
any vesting conditions in respect to the Convertible Securities and does
not include a discretion to lapse or forfeit unvested Convertible Securities
for less than fair value.
PARTICIPATION IN
ENTITLEMENTS AND
BONUS ISSUES
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs,
Participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital
offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.
ADJUSTMENT FOR
BONUS ISSUE
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than
an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the
Participant is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to
receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been
issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the
Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
REORGANISATION If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company
(including
any
subdivision,
consolidation,
reduction,
return
or
cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each
Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent
necessary to comply with the applicable law at the time of the
reorganisation.
EMPLOYEE SHARE
TRUST
The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee share
trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding Convertible
Securities for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of
holders upon exercise of Convertible Securities.
MAXIMUM NUMBER
OF SECURITIES
The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which involves
monetary consideration if the number of Plan Shares that may be issued,
or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered under an
invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that
may be issued as a result of all invitations under the Plan during the 3
year period ending on the day of the invitation, will exceed 5% of the
total number of issued Shares at the date of the invitation (unless the
Constitution specifies a different percentage).
AMENDMENT OF
PLAN
Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend
any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms
and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the
Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given
retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the
amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they
existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment
introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to
correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in
writing by all Participants.

42

PLAN DURATION The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The
Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a
fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is
terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension
must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing
that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be
cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular
event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed
between the Company and the Participant.
INCOME TAX
ASSESSMENT ACT
The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax_
Assessment Act 1997(Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act)
except to the extent an invitation provides otherwise.
