EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
PURPOSE OF INFORMATION
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement (which is included in and forms part of the Notice of Annual General Meeting dated 10 October 2017) is to provide Shareholders with an explanation of the business and the Resolutions to be proposed and considered at the Annual General Meeting ( Meeting ) of the Company which is to be held on Wednesday 15 November 2017 at 11.00am (AEDT) at the offices of Grant Thornton, Level 17, 383 Kent Street, Sydney, New South Wales. The information in the Explanatory Statement will also assist Shareholders to determine how they wish to vote on each Resolution.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
Pursuant to the Corporations Act, the directors of a public company that is required to hold an annual general meeting must table the financial statements and reports of the Company (including the Directors' Report and Auditor's Report) for the previous financial year before the Shareholders at that annual general meeting.
Shareholders have been provided with all relevant information concerning the Company's financial statements, the Directors' Report and Auditor's Report in the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2017. A copy of the Annual Report has been forwarded to each Shareholder (other than those Shareholders who have previously elected not to receive the Annual Report, whether in paper form or electronically). Any Shareholder who has made this election and now wishes to receive a paper or electronic copy of the Annual Report should contact the Company to arrange receipt.
The Annual Report can also be viewed, printed and downloaded from the Company's website www.adslot.com. A copy of the financial statements, the Directors' Report and the Auditor's Report will be tabled at the meeting.
Shareholders should note that the sole purpose of tabling the financial statements and the reports of the Company at the Meeting is to provide Shareholders with the opportunity to ask questions or discuss matters arising from the financial statements and/or the reports at the meeting. It is not the purpose of the meeting that the financial statements or the reports be accepted, rejected or modified in any way. Further, as it is not required by the Corporations Act, no resolution to adopt, receive or consider the Company's financial statements or the reports (other than the Remuneration Report) will be put to the Shareholders at the Meeting.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the financial statements and the reports. The Company's auditor will also be available to receive questions and comments from Shareholders about the preparation and content of the financial statements and the Auditor's report and the conduct of the audit generally.
Further, any Shareholder entitled to cast a vote at the Meeting may submit written questions to the auditor if:
-
(a) the question is relevant to:
-
(i) the content of the Auditor’s report to be considered at the Meeting; or
-

-
(b) the Shareholder gives the question to the Company no later than 5 business days before the day on which the Meeting is to be held.

Where appropriate, and practical to do so, the Company may provide answers to any such written questions at the Meeting.
REMUNERATION REPORT (Resolution 1)
The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2017 contains a Remuneration Report, which sets out the policy for remuneration of its officers and senior employees. The Corporations Act (section 250R(2)) requires that each listed company put a resolution to its shareholders at its annual general meeting that its remuneration report be adopted. The Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the company.
The Board will consider the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies. If 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, Shareholders will be given the opportunity to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (other than the Managing Director) must stand for re-election. At the Company’s 2016 Annual General Meeting, 1.7% of the votes cast by members were against the adoption of the Remuneration Report.
Where the chairperson of the meeting has been appointed as proxy, the chairperson will be taken to have been expressly authorised to vote (and the chairperson will vote) undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report) even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel. However, if another director of the Company or any other of the Company’s key management personnel (or any of their closely related parties) is appointed as a proxy, they will not cast any votes in respect of Resolution 1 that arise from any undirected proxies they hold.
“Key management personnel” of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 are identified in the Remuneration Report, which formed part of the Annual Report. The “closely related parties” of the Company’s key management personnel are defined in the Corporations Act, and include certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control.
If you choose to appoint a proxy, the Board encourages you to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 by marking either “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” for this item of business on the proxy form.
Resolution 1 is put to the Shareholders at the Meeting in fulfilment of the obligations of the Company under section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act. Shareholders attending the Meeting will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.
Recommendation - The Directors make no recommendation with respect to voting on Resolution 1.
RE-ELECTION OF MS SARAH MORGAN AS A DIRECTOR (Resolution 2)
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity (other than a managing director) must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer.
Clause 58.1 of the Company's constitution requires one third of the directors (other than the Managing Director) to retire by rotation at each annual general meeting. Accordingly, Ms Sarah Morgan retires from office and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Biographical details of Ms Sarah Morgan
Sarah Morgan has over 20 years corporate finance experience, predominantly as a Director of independent corporate advisory firm Grant Samuel. Over this time Ms Morgan was involved in a large number of transactions including public company M&A, IPOs, capital raisings (debt & equity), asset acquisitions and divestments, and company and business valuations, across a broad range of industries.
Ms Morgan is a non-executive director of Hong Kong based Luxe City Guides and the National Gallery of Victoria Foundation.
Recommendation - The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favor of Resolution 2.
RE-ELECTION OF MR BEN DIXON AS A DIRECTOR ( Resolution 3)
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity (other than a managing director) must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer.
Clause 58.1 of the Company's constitution requires one third of the directors (other than the Managing Director) to retire by rotation at each annual general meeting. Accordingly, Mr Dixon retires from office and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.
Biographical details of Mr Ben Dixon
Ben Dixon’s career in the advertising industry goes back over 19 years and includes roles at several large multinational agency groups including DDB and Mojo. He has wide experience across both the media buying and account management fields having held senior positions directing accounts for advertisers such as Telstra and Kraft Foods. In particular he was responsible for the development and implementation of e-commerce and online strategies across a number of advertisers.
In late 1999 Ben conceptualised and then co-founded Facilitate Digital Pty Ltd, assuming the role of General Manager. In the subsequent 3 years he played an integral role in steering the business through an industry collapse to a position of strength. Ben was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Facilitate when Adslot acquired it in December 2013.
Recommendation - The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favor of Resolution 3.
APPROVAL OF INCENTIVE OPTION PLAN (Resolution 4)
Resolution (4) seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of an employee incentive scheme titled “Incentive Option Plan” ( Option Plan ) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution (4) is passed, the Company will be able to issue Options under the Option Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.
Shareholders should note that no Options have previously been issued under the Option Plan.
10
The objective of the Option Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Option Plan and the future issue of Options under the Option Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
Any future grant of Options under the Option Plan to a related party or a person whose relation with the company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
For this reason, the Company is also seeking approval under Resolution (5) for the grant of Options to Director Mr Ben Dixon and under Resolution (6) for the grant of Options to Director Mr Ian Lowe pursuant to the Option Plan. Those Resolutions are conditional on the Option Plan being approved by Shareholders under Resolution (4).
A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Option Plan is set out in Annexure A: Schedule 1. In addition, a copy of the Option Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Option Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
Recommendation - The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
GRANT OF INCENTIVE OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS BEN DIXON (Resolution 5) AND IAN LOWE (Resolution 6)
GENERAL
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to grant a total of (3,000,000) Options under the Company’s Incentive Option Plan ( Incentive Options ) to Directors Mr Ben Dixon and Mr Ian Lowe ( Related Parties ) as set out below.
Resolutions (5) and (6), which seek this Shareholder approval, are conditional on the Option Plan being approved by Shareholders under Resolution (4).
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 grant of the Incentive Options constitutes giving a financial benefit. Mr Ben Dixon and Mr Ian Lowe are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being Directors of the Company.
The Directors (other than Mr Ben Dixon and Mr Ian Lowe who have a material personal interest in Resolutions (5) and (6) respectively) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Incentive Options because the agreement to grant the Incentive Options is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
11
ASX LISTING RULE 10.14
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained ( LR 10.14 Person ), unless an exception applies.
It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.15B do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Incentive Options to the Related Parties or their Nominees.
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL (LISTING RULE 10.15)
In accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Incentive Options:
-
(a) the related parties are Mr Ben Dixon and Mr Ian Lowe and they are each a related party by virtue of being a Director of the Company. If any Incentive Options are to be granted to a Nominee of a Related Party then such Nominee will be a related party by virtue of being an entity controlled by that Related Party;
-
(b) the maximum number of Incentive Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:
-
(i) 1,000,000 Incentive Options to Mr Ben Dixon or Nominee; and
-
(ii) 2,000,000 Incentive Options to Mr Ian Lowe or Nominee;
-
(c) the Incentive Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised by their grant (but funds may be raised in the future to the extent that Incentive Options are ultimately exercised);
-
(d) no Incentive Options have been granted pursuant to the Option Plan to LR 10.14 Persons as the Option Plan has not previously been approved by Shareholders;
-
(e) the Directors of the Company, currently comprising (Andrew Barlow), (Adrian Giles), (Ian Lowe), (Ben Dixon), (Quentin George) and (Sarah Morgan), are entitled to participate in the Option Plan;
-
(f)
-
no loan will be provided to the Related Parties with respect to the Incentive Options;
-
(g) the Incentive Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated all Incentive Options will be granted on one date; and
-
(h) the terms and conditions of the Incentive Options, including their expiry date, exercise price and vesting conditions are set out in Annexure A: Schedule 2.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to grant the Incentive Options to the Related Parties or their Nominees as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of Incentive Options to the Related Parties or their Nominees will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s twelve month capacity to issue Shares or other securities without shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
12
Recommendation - The Board (other than Mr Ben Dixon, who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 5) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
Recommendation - The Board (other than Mr Ian Lowe, who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 6) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.
APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY (Resolution 7)
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal to up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over 12 months after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 7 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by special resolution at an annual general meeting.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. The Company, as at the date of the notice of meeting, has on issue two classes of Equity Securities, Shares and performance rights, but can only issue Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(iii) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
13
- (iv) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that A is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
D is 10%
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of this notice of meeting, the Company has on issue 1,288,006,269 Shares and has a capacity to issue:
-
(a) 193,200,940 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(b) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 7, 128,800,627 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price (as defined in the Listing Rules) of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
(a) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(b) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking), or such longer period if allowed by ASX,
( 10% Placement Period ).
The effect of Resolution 7 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 7 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A on issue of any Shares.
14
Listing Rule 7.3A
Under and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility:
-
(a) the Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the weighted average market price (as defined in the Listing Rules) for the Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) if Resolution 7 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the annual general meeting on 10 November 2017; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new business,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

- (c) the Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 7 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

-
(ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new businesses or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition) and general working capital.
-
(e) the Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue under the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Shares will be determined on a case by case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which Shareholders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Shares on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable),
-
(f) the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company. Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring a new businesses or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new businesses or investments;
-
(g) the Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 10 November 2016 ( Previous Approval );
-
(h) the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval;
-
(i) during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 10 November 2016, the Company has otherwise issued a total of 3,677,500 Shares and 500,000 Performance Rights which together represent approximately 0.3% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 10 November 2016, which was 1,294,118,769. Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Annexure B;
-
(j) as detailed in Resolutions 5 and 6, the Company has agreed to issue a total of 3,000,000 Options to Directors Ben Dixon and Ian Lowe, subject to Shareholder approval of those Resolutions, under the Company’s Incentive Option Plan. The Company also anticipates issuing, before the Meeting, a total of up to 7,150,000 premium priced Options under its Incentive Option Plan to employees who are not related parties of the Company; and
-
(k) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Shares. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

An invitation to apply for the grant of Options under the Option Plan must be made by way of an offer document ( Offer Document ). The Offer Document must include the following information:

-
(c) Options will not be listed for quotation on the ASX, unless an applicable Offer provides otherwise. The Company will apply for official quotation of the Shares issued upon the exercise of any vested Options.
-
(d) A participant is not entitled to participate in or receive any dividend or other Shareholder benefits until its Options have vested and been exercised and Shares have been allocated to the participant as a result of the exercise of those Options.
-
(e) There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of securities offered to Shareholders of the Company during the currency of the Options without exercising the Options.
-
(f) Subdivision 83A-C of Chapter 2 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applies to the Options except to the extent an Offer provides otherwise.
-
(g) An Option is non-transferable other than in special circumstances with the consent of the Board (which may be withheld in its discretion).
-
(h) There is no right to a change in exercise price or in the number of underlying Shares over which the Option can be exercised conferred by the Options.

4. Vesting and Exercise of Options
-

For clarity, the Board may in its discretion waive or reduce any vesting conditions after the time specified for satisfaction of those vesting conditions has passed. In the event of a Change of Control of the Company, all vesting conditions are deemed to be automatically waived (except to the extent that an Offer provides otherwise).
21
-
(c) Exercise on Vesting: A Participant (or their personal legal representative where applicable) may, subject to the terms of any Offer, exercise any vested Options at any time after the Options have vested but before the Option lapses by providing the Company with:

-
(e) Cashless Exercise Facility:
-
(i) The Board may, in its discretion, permit a Participant to exercise some or all of their Options by using the Cashless Exercise Facility. The Cashless Exercise Facility entitles a Participant to set-off the Option Exercise Price against the number of Shares which the Participant is entitled to receive upon exercise of the Participant’s Options.
-

-
(B) less the aggregate total Option Exercise Price otherwise payable in respect of the vested Options exercised; and
-
(C) divided by the Market Value of a Share as determined on the date the Options the subject of the Cashless Exercise Facility are exercised.
-
-
(iii) If the Option Exercise Price otherwise payable in respect of the Options being exercised is the same or lower than the Market Value of Shares at the time of exercise, then a Participant will not be entitled to use the Cashless Exercise Facility.
22
(f)
Lapsing of Options: An Option will lapse upon the earlier of:
-
(i) the Board, in its discretion, resolving an Option lapses as a result of an unauthorised disposal of, or hedging of, the Option;
-
(ii) a vesting condition not being satisfied or becoming incapable of satisfaction (and not being waived);
-
(iii) in respect of an unvested Option, the holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant and the Board does not exercise its discretion to vest the Option or allow it to remain unvested;
-
(iv) in respect of a vested Option, a holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant and the Board, in its discretion, resolves that the Options must be exercised within one (1) month (or such later date as the Board determines) of the date the Relevant Person ceases to be an Eligible Participant, and the Option is not exercised within that period and the Board resolves, at its discretion, that the Option lapses as a result;
-
(v) the Board deems that an Option lapses due to fraud, dishonesty or other improper behaviour of the holder/Eligible Participant under the rules of the Option Plan;
-
(vi) in respect of an unvested Option, a winding up resolution or order is made in respect of the Company, and the Option does not vest in accordance with rules of the Option Plan; and
-
(vii) the expiry date of the Option.
5. Restrictions
-
(a) The Board may, in its discretion, determine at any time up until an Option is exercised, that a restriction period will apply to some or all of the Shares issued or transferred to a Participant on exercise of the Option ( Restricted Shares ), up to a maximum of fifteen (15) years from the acquisition date of the Option ( Restriction Period ).
