EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement and all attachments are important documents. They should be read carefully.

If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Statement or the preceding Notice, please contact the Company, your stockbroker or other professional adviser.

1. Financial Statement and Reports – Agenda Item

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s financial report is available on its website at http://adxenergy.com.au/.

2. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution to shareholders that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to shareholders. However such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the December financial report of the company. The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s Annual Report which:

  • outlines the Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of Directors, the company secretary and other key management personnel of the Company;

  • discusses the relationship between the Board’s remuneration policy and the Company’s performance;

  • details and explains any performance condition applicable to the remuneration of a Director, secretary or other key management personnel;

  • details the remuneration (including options, if any) of each Director and other key management personnel of the Company for the period; and

  • summarises the terms of any contract under which any Director, the company secretary or other key management personnel is engaged, including the period of notice required to terminate the contract and any termination payments provided for under the contract.

2.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

8

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the previous financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Andrew Childs as a Director

Under the Company's existing Constitution, one third of the Directors (or if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest one third) must retire from office at each annual general meeting of the Company. Directors who retire in accordance with this requirement are eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire are those (other than the Managing Director) who have been in office for three years since their appointment or last re-appointment or who have been longest in office since their appointment or last re-appointment. For the purposes of Listing Rule 14.4 and rule 13.2 of the existing Constitution, shareholder approval is being sought to re-elect Mr Andrew Childs as a Director.

Mr Childs was appointed as Non-Executive Director of ADX on 11 November 2009. Mr Childs graduated from the University of Otago, New Zealand in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science in Geology and Zoology. Having started his professional career as an Exploration Geologist in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, Mr Childs moved to petroleum geology and geophysics with Perth based Ranger Oil Australia (later renamed Petroz NL). He gained technical experience with Petroz as a Geoscientist and later commercial experience as the Commercial Assistant to the Managing Director. Mr Childs is currently Chairman of Sacgasco Limited and was a director of Riedel Resources Limited until 30 March 2017.

The Board considers Mr Childs is an independent director.

The Board supports the re-election of Mr Childs and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. Resolution 3 – Re-election of Mr Robert Brown as a Director

Under the Company's existing Constitution, one third of the Directors (or if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest one third) must retire from office at each annual general meeting of the Company. Directors who retire in accordance with this requirement are eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire are those (other than the Managing Director) who have been in office for three years since their appointment or last re-appointment or who have been longest in office since their appointment or last re-appointment. For the purposes of Listing Rule 14.4 and rule 13.2 of the existing Constitution, shareholder approval is being sought to re-elect Mr Robert Brown as a Director.

Mr Brown was appointed as Non-Executive Director of ADX on 17 October 2016 . Mr Brown is Perth based and has 25 years of petroleum industry experience in technical, managerial and leadership positions. He is a Master in Engineering graduate of Leeds University in Chemical Engineering. Rob has worked in the North Sea, South America, India, North America, SE Asia, West Africa and Australia. He has been responsible for highly successful operations, projects and developments and has proven experience of delivering against challenging capital, schedule and operating metrics with Amoco, Schlumberger, Lasmo, Cairn and Tullow. Rob is an adjunct lecturer in process design and safety, a WA SPE Board Member and a regulatory specialist.

The Board considers Mr Brown is an independent director.

The Board supports the re-election of Mr Brown and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

5. Resolutions 4 and 5 - Issue of Related Party Options

5.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 53,400,000 Options (Related Party Options) to Mr Ian Tchacos and Mr Paul Fink (Related Parties) under the Company’s Performance Rights and Option Plan.

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 Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Ian Tchacos and Mr Paul Fink are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

These options are being granted for the following reasons:

  • (a) For Ian Tchacos – as remuneration for reduced consulting fees. Ian Tchacos has agreed to receive 50% of his consulting day rate of $1,500/day as equity; and

  • (b) For Paul Fink – as remuneration for reduced consulting fees. Paul Fink has agreed to receive 50% of his consulting day rate of $1,500/day as equity.

In addition, 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.

Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act provides that where there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors’ meeting because of section 195 of the Corporations Act, one or more of the directors (including those who have a material personal interest in the matter) may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.

Although it is not a majority of the Directors who will receive Related Party Options, the Directors have exercised their right to seek shareholder approval for the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties.

5.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.14)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Related Party Options:

  • (c) the Related Party Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 12 months 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 the Related Party Options will be issued in quarterly instalments as follows:

  • (l) if the Related Party Options granted to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 53,400,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 1,213,052,804 to 1,266,452,804 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 4.2%, comprising 2.4% by Mr Tchacos and 1.8% by Mr Fink.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options would normally determine whether or not the Related Party Options are exercised. If at any time any of the Related Party Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Related Party Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

6. Resolutions 6 to 10 – Issue of Shares (Salary Sacrifice) to Directors

6.1 General

In accordance with the terms of the Directors’ Salary Sacrifice Share Plan, the Company’s Directors have agreed to reduce their cash director fees in lieu of Shares in order to maximise the availability of cash for the Company’s future exploration and appraisal activities.

A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Directors’ Salary Sacrifice Share Plan is set out in Schedule 4. In addition, a copy of the Directors’ Salary Sacrifice Share Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Directors’ Salary Sacrifice Share 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.

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue Shares ( Related Party Shares ) to Mr Tchacos, Mr Fink, Mr Childs, Mr Brown and Mr Haydn-Slater ( Related Parties) on the terms and conditions set out below. The purpose of the proposed issue of the Related Party Shares is to provide remuneration to compensate for the cash fee reductions described above.

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 of the Related Party Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Tchacos, Mr Fink, Mr Childs, Mr Brown and Mr Haydn-Slater are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act provides that where there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors’ meeting because of section 195 of the Corporations Act, one or more of the directors (including those who have a material personal interest in the matter) may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.

As it is proposed that all the Directors will receive Related Party Shares, the Directors have been unable to form quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to these issues. Accordingly, in accordance with section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, the Directors have exercised their right to seek shareholder approval for the issues of Related Party Shares to the Related Parties.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees

13

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.

6.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.14)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Related Party Shares:

  • (a) the Related Parties are Mr Ian Tchacos, Mr Paul Fink, Mr Andrew Childs, Mr Robert Brown and Mr Philip HaydnSlater and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;

  • (b) the number of Related Party Shares to be issued to each Related Party will be determined by dividing the portion of Directors’ fees that the Company has agreed to pay the Related Parties with shares by the deemed issue price of the Related Party Shares calculated in accordance with paragraph (d) below, provided that the maximum number of Related Party Shares to be issued to the Related Parties pursuant to Resolutions 6 to 10 shall be as follows:

Related Party Maximum Number of Shares*
Ian Tchacos 833,333
Paul Fink 833,333
Andrew Childs 2,166,667
Robert Brown 2,166,667
PhilipHaydn-Slater 5,500,000
Total 11,500,000
  • The maximum number of shares has been determined based on the directors’ cash reduction of remuneration from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019. As noted in (d) and (k) below, the Related Party Shares will be issued on a quarterly basis according to the Directors’ fees owing to each of the Related Parties at that time at an issue price of no less than the volume weighted average sale price of Shares sold on ASX during the 90 days prior to the expiration of the corresponding calendar quarter in which the Directors’ fees were incurred;

  • (c) the value of the maximum number of Related Party Shares that could potentially be issued to the Related Parties pursuant to Resolutions 6 to 10 (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) is set out below. The basis of the valuation is the last trading price of Shares on 3 April 2019 of $0.006:

Related Party Value of Related Party Shares
based on closing price on
3 April 2019
Ian Tchacos $5,000
Paul Fink $5,000
Andrew Childs $13,000
Robert Brown $13,000
PhilipHaydn-Slater $33,000
  • (d) the Related Party Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration as they will be issued in satisfaction of Directors’ fees agreed to be paid by the Company to the Participating Directors at quarterly intervals. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Related Party Shares. The Related Party Shares will be deemed to have an issue price of no less than the volume weighted average sale price of Shares sold on ASX during the 90 days prior to the expiration of the corresponding calendar quarter in which the Directors’ fees were incurred;

  • (e) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice in connection with Resolutions 6 to 10;

  • (f) the Related Party Shares will be issued under the Company’s Directors’ Share Plan, the terms and conditions which are set out in Schedule 4;

  • (g) previous issues under the Directors’ Salary Sacrifice Plan to the Directors since the previous Annual general meeting are follows:

However, in respect of Resolutions 7 to 10, Mr Tchacos recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

  • (i) the issue of the Related Party Shares 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 the Related Parties; and

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Shares to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Shares to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company's annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

7. Resolution 11 – Ratification of the Prior Issues of Equity Securities

7.1 General

Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of Equity Securities ( Ratification ).

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 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying these issues, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. In addition, the base figure (ie variable ‘A’) upon which the Company’s 15% and (subject to the passing of Resolution 12) 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will include these ratified issues.

7.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:

  • (a) 75,000,000 Shares and 25,000,000 unlisted Options were issued via a Placement under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on 10 December 2018. The Shares were issued for 1 cent each (raising gross proceeds of $750,000) and 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. The unlisted Options were issued as a free attaching option for every three shares subscribed for under the Placement. The Options have an exercise price of 2 cents, and expire on 31 December 2019. The full terms of the Options are set out in Schedule 5. The securities were issued to sophisticated and institutional investor, none of whom were related parties of the Company. The funds raised from the Placement are being applied towards the funding of the Company’s ongoing work program to obtain the ratification of the permit containing the Nilde Oil Field Development Project offshore Italy, secure funding for the appraisal of the Company’s Dougga gas condensate discovery offshore Tunisia, ongoing operational planning work in relation to the upcoming Part Appraisal Program as well as to augment ongoing working capital requirements.

  • (b) 5,000,000 unlisted Options were granted to QA Capital, the Lead Manager of the placement, on 10 December 2018. The Options have an exercise price of 3 cents and expire on 31 December 2019. The full terms of the Option are set out in Schedule 5. The Options were issued for nil cash consideration, in consideration of services provided by QA Capital to the Company. Accordingly, no funds were raised from the issue of these Options.

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.

The Directors of the Company unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11.

17

8. Resolution 12 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity – Shares

8.1 Introduction

The Company is seeking shareholder approval to issue an additional 10% of issued capital over a 12 month period pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek Shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (1) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (2) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $8.456 million (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 8 April 2019).

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.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: ADX).

If Shareholders approve Resolution 12, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

Resolution 12 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 12 for it to be passed.

9.3 Technical Information required by ASX listing Rule 7.1A.

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 12:

(a) Minimum Issue Price

The minimum issue price for the Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (1) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (2) If the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in Section 9.3(a)(1) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

Assuming Resolution 12 is passed, the Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (1) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (2) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

  • ( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

18

(c) Risk of economic and voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will have a dilutive effect on the interests of existing Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 12 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at 8 April 2019.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

*The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Assumptions and explanations

  • There are currently 1,213,052,804 shares on issue at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

  • The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 8 April 2019.

  • The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  • The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  • This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a specific risk that:

  • (1) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the date of the issue than it is on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (2) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the issue date.

19

(d) Purpose of issue of 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities:

  • (1) to raise cash consideration, in which case the funds raised from the issue of Equity Securities, if undertaken, would be applied towards funding expenditure associated with the exploration and development of oil and gas permits, acquisitions of new assets or investments and/or general working capital; or

  • (2) as non-cash consideration, such as for the acquisition of new assets or investments. If the Company issues Equity Securities for non-cash consideration, the Company will release to the market a valuation of the non-cash consideration that demonstrates that the issue price of the Equity Securities complies with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue of the Equity Securities. The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to a number of factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (1) the purpose of the issue;

(c) Limit on Offers: Where the Company has relied or intends relying on the Class Order to make an Offer, the Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an Offer, that the number of Shares to be received on exercise of Awards offered under an Offer, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made in reliance on the Class Order at any time during the previous 3 year period under an employee incentive scheme covered by the Class Order or an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme, will not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the Offer (noting that offers to senior employees within s708(12) are excluded from the calculation of the 5% limit).

  • (A) exercises its discretion to vest the Award; or

  • (B) in its absolute discretion, resolves to allow the unvested Award to remain unvested after the Relevant Person ceases to be an Eligible Participant;

  • (iv) in respect of a vested Award only, a Relevant Person ceases to be an Eligible Participant and, where required by the Board in its absolute discretion, the vested Performance Right is not exercised within a one (1) month period (or such other period as the Board determines) as notified by the Board to the Participant after the date the Relevant Person ceases to be an Eligible Participant;

(k) Shares : All shares issued on exercise of an Award under the Plan will rank equally in all respects with the shares of the same class for the time being on issue except as regards any rights attaching to such shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of their issue.

26

  • (l) Sale Restrictions : The Board may, in its discretion, determine at any time up until exercise of Awards, that a restriction period will apply to some or all of the shares issued to an Eligible Participant (or their eligible nominee) on exercise of those Awards up to a maximum of five (5) years from the grant date of the Awards. In addition, the Board may, in its sole discretion, having regard to the circumstances at the time, waive any such restriction period determined.

  • (n) Change in exercise price of number of underlying securities : An Award does not confer the right to a change in exercise price or in the number of underlying Shares over which the Award can be exercised.

  • (o) Reorganisation : If, at any time, the issued capital of the Company is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), all rights of a holder of an Award are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reorganisation.

The Board may offer Shares to a Director of the Company or any Subsidiary, including Non-executive Directors ( Eligible Participant ).

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Board may offer to Eligible Participants the opportunity to subscribe for Shares in lieu of Directors’ fees owing by the Company to the Eligible Participant and upon such additional terms and conditions as the Board determines (including, without limitation, that an Eligible Participant continues to be a Director of the Company at the relevant time).

An Eligible Participant will not be required to make any payment in return for the Shares as they will be issued in satisfaction of Directors’ fees owing by the Company at the time of issue of the Shares, calculated on a quarterly basis.

(b)

Limitations of Offers

If the Company makes an offer of Shares where:

  • (i) the total number of Shares the subject of that offer, exceeds the limit set out in ASIC Class Order 14/1000; or

  • (ii) the offer does not otherwise comply with the terms and conditions set out in ASIC Class Order 14/1000,

the Company must comply with Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act at the time of that offer.

(c)

Issue of Shares

Shares issued under the Directors’ Share Plan will rank equally in all respects with the then issued class of fully paid ordinary shares of the Company.

The Company will issue Shares under the Directors’ Share Plan on a quarterly basis, being 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December each year ( Quarter ).

The issue of Shares under the Directors’ Share Plan will be deemed to satisfy the relevant fees or salary owing by the Company to the Eligible Participant.

Shares issued to an Eligible Participant under the Directors’ Share Plan will have no restrictions on their transfer.

(d)

Deemed issue price of Shares

The Shares issued pursuant to the Directors’ Share Plan will be issued for nil cash consideration as they will be issued in satisfaction of fees and salary owing by the Company to the Eligible Participant. The Shares will be deemed to have an issue price as determined by the Board at the time of issue of the Shares but such deemed issue price will be no less than the VWAP of Shares sold on ASX during the 90 days prior to the expiration of the relevant Quarter.

(e)

Shareholder Approval

All Shares issued pursuant to the Directors’ Share Plan will be subject to prior Shareholder approval under the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act (if required).

(f)

Amendments

Subject to the Listing Rules, the Board may at any time by resolution amend all or any of the provisions of the Directors’ Share Plan, or the terms or conditions of any Shares issued under the Directors’ Share Plan, provided that as soon as reasonably practicable after making any amendment, the Board gives notice in writing of that amendment to any Eligible Participant affected by the amendment.

(g)

Non-residents of Australia

The Board may adopt additional rules of the Directors’ Share Plan applicable in any jurisdiction outside Australia under which rights offered under the Directors’ Share Plan may be subject to additional or modified terms, having regard to any securities, exchange control or taxation laws or regulations or similar factors which may apply to the Eligible Participant or to the Company in relation to the rights. Any additional rule must conform to the basic principles of the Directors’ Share Plan.

  • 1 The Options are exercisable at a price of:

  • (a) Placement Options - $A0.02 each; (b) Lead Manager Options – A$0.03 each.

at any time from the date of grant up to (and including) 31 December 2019. Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary share in ADX Energy Ltd (Share).

  • 2 Notwithstanding paragraph 1, if:

  • (a) a takeover bid within the meaning of the Act is made for the Shares in ADX and the bidder becomes entitled to compulsorily acquire all of the Shares, any Options not exercised by the end of the bid period shall lapse; or

  • (b) a court orders a meeting to be held in relation to a proposed scheme of arrangement in relation to ADX the effect of which may be that a person will have a relevant interest in at least 90% of ADX’s Shares, any Options not exercised during the period which is 7 days of the court order shall lapse.

3 The holder may exercise any part of the Options without prejudice to the holder’s ability to subsequently exercise any remaining Options.

  • 4 All Shares issued upon exercise of the Options will rank equally in all respects with the then issued Shares, and ADX will, within 7 days, apply for official quotation by the ASX of all Shares issued upon the exercise of the Options.

  • 5

There are no participating rights or entitlements conferred on the Options and the holder will not be entitled to participate with respect to the Options in new issues offered to shareholders of ADX during their currency without exercising the Options. However, ADX will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the relevant record date will be at least seven Business Days after the relevant issue is announced and the holder is notified at that time. This will give the holder the opportunity to exercise the Options prior to the date for determining entitlements and to participate in any such issue as a shareholder.

  • 6

In the event of any reorganisation of capital of ADX prior to the expiry date for exercise of the Options, the number of Options to which the holder is entitled or the exercise price of the Options or both shall be changed to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of reorganisation.

  • 7

The number of Options held will appear on an option holder statement which will be accompanied by a Notice of Exercise of Options that is to be completed when exercising Options.

  • 8

The Options are exercised by completing the Notice of Exercise of Options form and forwarding it to ADX with the exercise price payable to ADX. ADX shall within seven days after the receipt of such Notice, issue Shares in respect of the Options exercised and dispatch a shareholder statement to the holder.

  • 9

The Options are freely transferable.

10 The Options will not be quoted on the ASX. Notwithstanding any other term of these Terms of Options, if any term of these Terms of Options is or becomes non-compliant with the ASX Listing Rules, that term will be taken to be varied or deleted (as required) so that it is compliant with the ASX Listing Rules.

How to Vote on Items of Business

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Appointment of Proxy

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.

Signing Instructions for Postal Forms

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.

Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.
