EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 – 3
1.1 Background
As announced on 5 July 2024 and 25 July 2024, the Company conducted a placement to sophisticated and professional investors ( Placement Participants ) for 100,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares at an issue price of $0.008 per Share ( Placement Shares ) to raise $800,000 ( Placement ).
The Placement is being conducted in two tranches as follows:
-
(a) 37,320,610 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the shares for which ratification is sought pursuant to Resolution 1) raising $298,565; and
-
(b) subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 2, the Company proposes to issue an additional 62,679,390 Placement Shares to the Placement Participants to raise an additional $501,435.
Funds raised from the Placement, together with the Company’s existing cash reserves will be used to extend exploration activities at the Drummond Gold Basin Project in Queensland and for general working capital.
1.2 Lead Manager Engagement
The Company engaged the services of GBA Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 643 039 123) ( GBA Capital ) to act as lead manager to the Placement pursuant to an agreement dated 2 July 2024 ( Lead Manager Mandate ).
Under the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has agreed to pay GBA Capital a cash fee of:
-
(a) 4% of the funds raised by GBA Capital under the Placement; and
-
(b) 2% of the total funds raised under the Placement.
The Company has also agreed to issue, subject to Shareholder Approval, 10,000,000 listed options with an exercise price $0.03 and expiry date of 30 June 2026 (ASX: TMGOD), approval of which is sought pursuant to Resolution 3.
Under the Lead Manager Mandate, if during the term of the Lead Manager Mandate or within 6 months of its termination, the Company announces an equity capital raising managed by a different lead manager, then the Company must pay GBA capital an equivalent fee to the fee paid under the Placement. The Lead Manager Mandate remains in place until terminated which requires five Business Days’ notice.
The Lead Manager Mandate otherwise contains terms and conditions considered standard for an agreement of this kind.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES – LISTING RULE 7.1A
2.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1 above, the Company issued 37,320,610 Shares at an issue price of $0.008 per Share to raise $298,565 ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ).
The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2023.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2023.
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 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
2.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue 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.
2.4 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
9
5187-10/3469665_13
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.
2.5 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:
-
(i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and
-
(ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
-
(c) 37,320,610 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) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 16 July 2024;
-
(e) the issue price was $0.008 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;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares was to raise $298,565, which the Company intends to apply towards the purposes set out in Section 1.1; and
-
(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
As noted at Section 1.1 above, the Company is proposing to issue 62,679,390 Shares at an issue price of $0.008 per Share to raise up to $501,435 ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ).
As summarised in Section 2.2 above, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its
10
5187-10/3469665_13
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.
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:
-
(a) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be 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 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be:
-
(i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and
-
(ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
-
(c) the maximum number of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be issued is 62,679,390. The Tranche 2 Placement 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;
-
(d) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be $0.008 per Tranche 2 Placement Shares. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares;
11
5187-10/3469665_13
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares is to raise capital, which the Company intends to apply towards the purposes set out in Section 1.1;
-
(g) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are not being issued under an agreement; and
-
(h) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.
3.4 Dilution
Assuming no Options are exercised, no convertible securities are converted or other Shares issued and the maximum number of Tranche 2 Placement Shares are issued, the number of Shares on issue would increase from 468,001,296 (being the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 530,680,686 and the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 13.39%.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS
4.1 General
The Company has entered into an agreement to issue 10,000,000 Options in part consideration for lead manager services provided by GBA Capital in relation to the Placement ( Lead Manager Options ).
As summarised in Section 2.2 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 Lead Manager Options falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. 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 Lead Manager Options. In addition, the issue of the Lead Manager 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.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Lead Manager Options.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES
5.1 General
On 10 November 2023, the Company issued 4,500,000 Shares to Andromeda Metals Limited in consideration for historical expenses incurred on the Drummond Gold Basin Project acquired by the Company ( Andromeda Shares ).
The issue of the Andromeda Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.
As summarised in Section 2.2 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month 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 30 November 2023.
The issue of the Andromeda 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 Andromeda Shares.
13
5187-10/3469665_13
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 Andromeda Shares.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Andromeda Shares.
5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Andromeda 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 Andromeda Shares.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Andromeda 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 Andromeda Shares.
5.3 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 4:
-

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2023.
The issue of the Boadicea 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 Boadicea 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.

7. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES FOR SERVICES PERFORMED ON THE DRUMMOND GOLD BASIN PROJECT
7.1 General
On 4 April 2024, the Company issued 9,071,429 Shares in consideration for services provided in relation to the acquisition of the Drummond Gold Basin Project. As announced on 6 May 2024, At the time of issuing these Shares the Company only had capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to issue 7,920,367 Shares and as a result breached its ASX Listing Rule 7.1 capacity by 1,151,062 Shares ( Breach ). As a result of the Breach, ratification by security holders of the issue of 1,152,062 equity securities will not refresh the Company’s capacity to issue securities without security holder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, as ratification under Listing Rule 7.4 is only available where the securities are issued without breaching Listing Rule 7.1. Consequently, the Company is seeking ratification of the shares that were issued without breaching Listing Rule 7.1, being 7,920,367 Shares ( Project Services Shares ).
The issue of the Project Services Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.
As summarised in Section 2.2 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month 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 30 November 2023.
The issue of the Project Services 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 Project Services 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 Project Services Shares.

9. RESOLUTION 9 – ADOPTION OF EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN
9.1 General
Resolution 9 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 23,400,065 securities, excluding issues approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 or Listing Rule 10.11, under the 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 2.2 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 9 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
20
5187-10/3469665_13
excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
If Resolution 9 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 9:

-
(c) The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the Plan to:

(i) allow the Company to have the ability to issue Shares, Options, Performance Rights and convertible securities; and
-
(ii) 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 23,400,065 securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

10.2 Director Recommendation
Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 10 to 12 on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Incentive Performance Rights should Resolutions 10 to 12 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 10 to 12 of this Notice.
10.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
22
5187-10/3469665_13
-
(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 Incentive Performance Rights 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 Incentive Performance Rights 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 Incentive Performance Rights. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
10.4
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 Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
Resolutions 10 to 12 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14.
10.5
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
Subject to the passing of Resolution 9, if Resolutions 10 to 12 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties under the Performance Rights 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 Incentive Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 10 to 12 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties under the Performance Rights Plan.
23
5187-10/3469665_13
Resolutions 10 to 12 are conditional on Resolution 9 being passed. Therefore, if Resolution 9 is not passed, the Board will not be able to proceed with issue of Incentive Performance Rights.

(e) the Incentive Performance Rights are unquoted securities. The Company has chosen to issue Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties for the following reasons:

The Incentive Performance Rights will not be quoted on ASX. The Company must apply for the official quotation of a Share issued on conversion of a Incentive Performance Right on ASX within the time period required by the ASX Listing Rules.
(h)
Timing of issue of Shares on conversion
Within 5 business days after the date that the Incentive Performance Rights are converted, the Company will:
-
(i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Incentive Performance Rights converted;
-
(ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and
-
(iii) if admitted to the Official List of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the conversion of the Incentive Performance Rights.
If a notice delivered under paragraph (h)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 business days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.
(i) Transfer of Incentive Performance Rights
The Incentive Performance Rights are not transferable.
(j) Participation in new issues
A Incentive Performance Right does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a Incentive Performance Right) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues without exercising the Incentive Performance Right.
(k)
Reorganisation of capital
If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation.
(l) Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to the Company’s existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) no changes will be made to the Incentive Performance Rights.

(m) Dividend and voting rights
The Incentive Performance Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends.
(n) Change in control
Subject to paragraph (o), if a Change of Control Event occurs, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, unvested Incentive Performance Right will vest unless the Board determines in its discretion otherwise. The Board’s discretion in determining the treatment of any unvested Incentive Performance Right on a Change of Control Event is limited to vesting or varying the Vesting Conditions in respect to the Incentive Performance Right and does not include a discretion to lapse or forfeit unvested Incentive Performance Right for less than fair value.
(o) Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares
If the conversion of a Incentive Performance Right under paragraphs (c) or (n) would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that Incentive Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Incentive Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:
-
(i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Incentive Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Incentive Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and
-
(ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (o)(i) within 7 days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Incentive Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Incentive Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.
(p) No rights to return of capital
A Incentive Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.
(q) Rights on winding up
A Incentive Performance Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.
(r) ASX Listing Rule compliance
The Board reserves the right to amend any term of the Incentive Performance Rights to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules.
- (s) No other rights
41
5187-10/3469665_13
