2. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES – LISTING RULE 7.1
2.1 General
The Company issued 146,166,666 Placement Shares on 9 August 2024 and 12,333,334 Placement Shares on 5 September 2024 at an issue price of $0.003 per Share to raise $475,500.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.
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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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 approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 24 November.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares 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 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
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 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
2.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares 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 issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares 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 that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
-
(a) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of GBA Capital. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved GBA Capital seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;
-
(b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:
12

-
(ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
-
(c) A total of 158,500,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued and the Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(d) 146,166,666 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 9 August 2024 and 12,333,334 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 5 September 2024;
-
(e) the issue price was $0.003 per Tranche 1 Placement Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares;
-

-
(g) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES
3.1 General
The Company is proposing to issue up to 36,666,667 Tranche 2 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.003 per Share to raise up to $110,000.
As summarised in Section 2.1 above, 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 of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares 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.
3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares. In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares 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 Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.
Resolution 2 is an independent Resolution.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS FREE ATTACHING PLACEMENT OPTIONS
4.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1 above, one (1) free attaching Placement Options will be issued for every one (1) Placement Share subscribed for and issued under the Placement. Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 195,166,667 Placement Options to Placement Participants.
As summarised in Section 2.1 above, 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 of the Placement Options 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.
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options. In addition, the issue of the Placement Options 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.

5. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 7 – APPROVAL FOR DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION IN THE PLACEMENT
5.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1, the Directors of the Company, Messrs David Riekie, John Hicks and Maurice Dominic Matich ( Related Parties ), wish to participate in the Placement for an aggregate of $33,500 on the same terms as unrelated participants in the Placement ( Participation ).
The proposed allocations to each of the Directors (and/or their nominees) under the Placement are as follows:
-
(a) Resolution 4: Mr Riekie for $10,000, being 3,333,333 Placement Shares and 3,333,333 Placement Options;
-
(b) Resolution 5: Mr Hicks for $10,500, being 3,500,000 Placement Shares and 3,500,000 Placement Options; and
-
(c) Resolution 6: Mr Matich for $13,000, being 4,333,333 Placement Shares and 4,333,333 Placement Options,
(together, the Participation Securities ).
Resolutions 4 to 6 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Participation Securities to the Related Parties.
15
1035-16/3523836/1
5.2 Director Recommendation
Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4 to 6 on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Shares should Resolutions 4 to 6 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 4 to 6 of this Notice.
5.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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 Participation will result in the issue of Shares and Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit. Messrs Riekie, Hicks and Matich are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
As the Participation Securities are proposed to be issued to majority 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 of the Participation Securities. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Participation Securities in respect of the Participation is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
5.4
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
-
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 Participation 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.
Resolutions 4 to 6 seek the required Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
5.5
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 4 to 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Participation 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 of the Shares in respect of the Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
16
1035-16/3523836/1
If Resolutions 4 to 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Participation and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.
Resolutions 4 to 6 are independent Resolutions.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options.

The Company is proposing to issue REE 10,000,000 Shares, together with one (1) free attaching Option for every two (2) Shares issued, in consideration for the grant of mineral rights as set out above ( Consideration Securities ).
As set out in Section [insert] above, 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 of the Consideration Securities falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

8. RESOLUTIONS 9 TO 12 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO DIRECTORS IN LIEU OF REMUNERATION
8.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval and subject to the adoption of the Employee Incentive Securities Plan ( Plan ) (refer Resolution 13), to issue Shares to its Directors in lieu of their remuneration. Shares can be issued to the Directors in lieu of their remuneration, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 while relying on the relevant exception 13 of the Listing Rule 7.2.
Resolutions 9 to 12 seek Shareholders’ approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14 for the proposed issue of Shares to Directors, David Riekie, Allan Ritchie, John Hicks and Maurice Matich ( Related Parties ) in-lieu of remuneration ( Remuneration Shares ). The Remuneration Shares will be issued under the Company’s Plan (defined in Section 9.1) and will be subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval for the adoption of the Plan (the subject of Resolution 13). The Company is issuing the Remuneration Shares to in order to conserve cash within the Company.
21
1035-16/3523836/1
Resolutions 9 to 12 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Remuneration Shares.
8.2 Director Recommendation
Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 9 to 12 on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Remuneration Shares should Resolutions 9 to 12 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 9 to 12 of this Notice.
8.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 5.3 above.
The issue of the Remuneration Shares to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
As the Remuneration Shares 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 of the Remuneration Shares. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Remuneration Shares to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
8.4 Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:
-
10.14.1 a director of the entity;
-
10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or
-
10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.
The issue of Remuneration Shares to the Related Parties falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
Resolutions 9 to 12 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Remuneration Shares under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14.
8.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
Subject to the passing of Resolution 13, if Resolutions 9 to 12 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Remuneration Shares to the Related Parties under the Plan within three years 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 of the Remuneration Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Remuneration Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 9 to 12 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Remuneration Shares to the Related Parties under the Plan and the Company will be required to remunerate directors using cash reserves.
Resolutions 9 to 12 are conditional on Resolution 13 also being passed. Therefore, if Resolution 13 is not passed, the Board will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Remuneration Shares and the Company will be required to remunerate directors using cash reserves.
8.6 Terms of the Remuneration Shares
(a) Price
The price of the Remuneration Shares based on the monthly VWAP for each month the relevant Related Party has served as a Director of the Company as per the terms agreed in their contract, being a base rate as per the relevant
22
1035-16/3523836/1
Director’s remuneration package described below (subject to the addition of ad-hoc invoices up capped at no more than an additional $5,000 per month, described further below).
(b) Maximum number of Remuneration Shares to be issued
Subject to Shareholder approval, the Related Parties may receive their Remuneration Shares (based on the formula set out in Section 8.6(a) above) or in cash.
Each Director’s current remuneration package, payable monthly, is set out below:
| Name of Director | Monthly Base Salary payable in either shares or cash and at each director’s election |
Extraordinary Services payable in either shares or cash and at each director’s election |
|---|---|---|
| David Riekie | 3,500 | 3,000 |
| Allan Ritchie | 3,500 | 3,000 |
| John Hicks | 3,500 | 3,000 |
| Maurice Matich | 3,500 | 3,000 |
Despite some of the Directors are Non-Executives, given the stage of the Company, it is recognised that their services are required to be more ‘hands on’ than is the case in a more developed company, and this reality informs the Company’s remuneration policy.
8.7 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 9 to 12 :
-
(a) the Remuneration Shares will be issued to the following persons:
-
(i) Mr Riekie (or his nominees) pursuant to Resolution 9;
-
(ii) Mr Ritchie (or his nominees) pursuant to Resolution 10;
-
(iii) Mr Hicks (or his nominees) pursuant to Resolution 11; and
-
(iv) Mr Matich (or his nominees) pursuant to Resolution 12,
-
each of whom falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.14.1 by virtue of being a Director;
(b) The number of Remuneration Shares that may be issued per month (until the General Meeting) if Resolutions 9 to 12, are passed is calculated as follows:
$Y Z = ($3,500 + $XZ) multiplied (x) by Bz, being the "Share Compensation Formula "or "SCF", where :
-
(i) $Y = total remuneration payable for each month, but no greater $3,500 for each relevant month of service.
-
(ii) A = $3,500 being a base salary for each Non-Executive Director.
-
(iii) X = the duly aggregated invoiced figures for "Extraordinary Services"
-
(iv) B = the 5 Day VWAP for the closing each relevant month of service.
-
(v) z = the relevant month that was performed.
-
(vi) "Extraordinary Services" means services that are beyond the scope of the person's relevant service agreements; and that the Company is
23
1035-16/3523836/1
unable to be acquired more efficiently and / or more affordably on an arms-lengths-basis by third parties or entities.
| EXAMPLE | |
|---|---|
| Resolution 9 is passed 1. David Riekie invoices his monthly salary for $12,900 for September; 2. He performs nil “Extraordinary Services” in September; 3. Elects to be paid part in cash and part in Shares. |
$10,900 is paid to David Riekie from the Company’s cash reserves for the month of September. $2,000 is paid to David Riekie via the issue of shares. The 5 Day VWAP for the closing the month of September was for example 0.005 cents per Share. The number of Shares to be issued to David Riekie for Septemberis 400,000 Shares. |
| Resolution 11 is passed. 1. John Hicks is entitled and elects to be paid remuneration for the month of September in Shares. 2. If for example, $2,000 was duly invoiced for “Extraordinary Services” being duly invoiced fees for example, connected with geological services over September. |
$3,500 in base salary (September) + $2,000 in Extraordinary Services (September) = $5,500 payable for September. The 5 Day VWAP for the closing the month of September was for example 0.005 cents per Share. Therefore, the number of Shares to be issued to John Hicks for the September is $5,500/$0.005 = 1,100,000 Shares. |
-
(c) as this is the first time that the Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Plan, no Shares have been previously issued under the Plan;
-
(d) Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(e) the issue price of the Shares will be nil, in lieu of salary owed to Related Parties as Directors. As such no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Shares is to preserve cash and incentivise Related Parties in their roles as Directors, in a manner that encourages the alignment of the Board and shareholders;
-
(g) a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 2;
-
(h) no loans are being made to the Related Parties in connection with the acquisition of the Shares;
-
(i) details of any Shares issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14;
-
(j) any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of Shares under the Plan and who were not named in this Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14;
-
(k) the number of Shares to be issued to each of the Related Parties has been determined based upon a consideration of:
-
(i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;
-
(ii) the remuneration of the Related Parties; and
24
1035-16/3523836/1
- (iii) incentives to attract and retain the service of the Related Parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.
The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Shares upon the terms proposed;

9. RESOLUTION 13 – ADOPTION OF EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN
9.1 General
Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Employee Securities Incentive Plan” ( Plan ) and for the issue of up to a maximum of 61,188,268 securities, excluding issues approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 or Listing Rule 10.11, under the Incentive Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).
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.
9.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)
As summarised in Section 2.1 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.
If Resolution 13 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years from the date of the Meeting. The issue of any securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of securities stated in Section 9.3(b) 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
26
1035-16/3523836/1
a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
If Resolution 13 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 those securities.
9.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 13:
-
(a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 2;
-
(b) the Company has not issued any securities under the Plan as this is the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Incentive Plan;
-
(c) The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the Plan to include the new terms and conditions required by Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which replaced the previous relief provided by ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (Employee Incentive Scheme); and
-
(d) the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), is 61,188,268 securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

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 |
32
1035-16/3523836/1
| unexercised Convertible Securities. 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) is not entitled to receive any dividends declared by the Company; and (d) is not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares (see Adjustment of Convertible Securities section below). |
| RESTRICTIONS ON DEALING WITH CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES |
Convertible Securities issued under the Plan cannot be sold, assigned, 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 |
33
1035-16/3523836/1
| deem some or all of the Convertible Securities held by a 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 |
34
1035-16/3523836/1
| unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus 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. |
35
1035-16/3523836/1
| 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. |
