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. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 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 annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at https://www.archtis.com/.

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 that the remuneration report to be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

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 annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

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.

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.

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 most recent 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 Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF A DIRECTOR - DR MILES JAKEMAN

3.1 General

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE INCENTIVE SECURITIES TO DANIEL LAI

  • 4.1 General

Resolutions 3 and 4 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 416,504 Options ( Incentive Options ) and 2,082,521 Performance Rights ( Incentive Performance Rights ) (together, the Incentive Securities ) to Daniel Lai (or their nominee(s)) on the terms and conditions set out below.

Incentive Options

The Incentive Options will have an exercise price of $0.0771 (being the 5 day volume weighted average price up to and including 30 June 2024) and will expire 4 years from the date of issue.

One third of the Incentive Options will vest each financial year on 30 June over the next 3 years, subject to continued employment with the Company.

Incentive Performance Rights

The intention of the Incentive Performance Rights is to ensure that part of the remuneration received by Daniel Lai is closely linked to the Company’s performance and the returns generated for Shareholders.

The Incentive Performance Rights are designed to incentivise and reward Daniel Lai for meeting or exceeding Company-wide and individual objectives. These Incentive Performance Rights are intended to align Mr Lai’s long-term performance over the vesting period with the interests of Shareholders as well as acting as a retention incentive.

The Incentive Performance Rights are subject to the following performance conditions ( Performance Conditions ) to be tested against the Company’s financial performance during the financial year ended 30 June 2025 ( Performance Period ):

  • (a) Tranche 1 : 30% of the total Performance Rights granted will be tested based on the Company’s Annual Recurring Revenue for the Performance Period ( ARR Performance Condition );

  • (b) Tranche 2 : 30% of the total Performance Rights granted will be tested based on the Company’s Operating and Investing Cashflows for the Performance Period ( Cashflows Performance Condition );

  • (c) Tranche 3 : 20% of the total Performance Rights granted will be tested based on the Company’s revenue for the Performance Period ( Revenue Performance Condition ); and

  • (d) Tranche 4 : 20% of the total Performance Rights granted will be tested based on the Company’s gross margin for the Performance Period ( GM Performance Condition ).

Each Performance Condition will be tested after the end of the Performance Period (likely to be at the Board meeting following the relevant annual results announcement, so that final audited numbers are available), and the test results will be communicated to Shareholders shortly thereafter.

The targets for the Performance Conditions are set by the Board (excluding Daniel Lai from decision making) to ensure Mr Lai is motivated and all incentives are aligned with continued value creation for Shareholders.

The Incentive Performance Rights will vest on the following basis:

4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

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

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

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

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

The issue of the Incentive Securities to Daniel Lai (or their nominee/s) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Daniel Lai is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Daniel Lai who has a material personal interest in the Resolutions) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the agreement to issue the Incentive Securities, reached as part of the remuneration package for Daniel Lai, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

4.3 Listing Rule 10.11

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

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

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

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

10

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

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

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of the Incentive Securities to Daniel Lai (or their nominee/s) falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Securities within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 3 and 4 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Securities. As a consequence, the Company will need to consider other methods to provide a performance-linked incentive competent to Daniel Lai’s remuneration package, which could include utilising the Company’s cash reserves which would otherwise be available to be applied to advancing the Company’s business.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO DR MILES JAKEMAN

5.1 General

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 3,412,969 Options to Dr Miles Jakeman (or his nominee(s)) (the Related Party ) on the terms and conditions set out below.

The Options will have an exercise price of 135% of the 5 day volume weighted average price for the period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of the Meeting and expire 3 years from the date of the Meeting.

One third of the Incentive Options will vest each financial year on 30 June over the next 3 years following the Meeting.

5.2 Director Recommendation

5.3 The Directors, other than Mr Jakeman, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 for the reasons set out in Section 5.6. In forming this recommendation, the Directors, other than Mr Jakeman, considered the experience of the Related Party, the current market price of Shares, the current market standards and practices when determining the number of Options to be issued to the Related Party, as well as the exercise price, expiry date and vesting conditions of the Options.Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 4.2 above.

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

The Directors (other than Dr Miles Jakeman who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the agreement to issue the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Dr Miles Jakeman, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

12

5.4 Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 4.3 above.

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

5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options. As a consequence, the Company will need to consider other methods to provide a performance-linked incentive competent to the remuneration package of Dr Miles Jakeman, which could include utilising the Company’s cash reserves which would otherwise be available to be applied to advancing the Company’s business.

5.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

REQUIRED INFORMATION DETAILS
Name of the persons to
whom Options will be issued

Listing Rule 10.11.1 as he is a related party of the
Company by virtue of being a Director.
Any nominee(s) of the proposed recipients who receive
Options may constitute ‘associates’ for the purposes of
Listing Rule 10.11.4.
Number of Options to be
issued
The maximum number of Options to be issued (being the
nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is
3,412,969 Options.
Terms of Options The Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set
out in Schedule 3.
Date(s) on or by which the
Options will be issued
The Company expects to issue the Options within 10
Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company
will not issue any Options later than one month after the
date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent
permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the
Listing Rules).
Price or other consideration
the Company will receive
for the Options
The Options will be issued at a nil issue price.
Purpose of the issue,
including the intended use
of any funds raised by the
issue
The purpose of the issue of the Options is to provide a
performance linked incentive component in the
remuneration package for the proposed recipient to
align the interests of the proposed recipient with those of
Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance
of the proposed recipient in their roles as Directors and
to provide a cost effective way from the Company to
remunerate the proposed recipient, which will allow the
Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash
reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash
forms of remuneration were given to the proposed
recipients.

13

REQUIRED INFORMATION DETAILS
Consideration of type and
quantum of Options to be
issued
The Company has agreed to issue the Options for the
following reasons:
(a)
the issue of the Options has no immediate
dilutionary impact on Shareholders;
(b)
the deferred taxation benefit which is available
to the proposed recipient in respect of an issue
of Options is also beneficial to the Company as
it means the proposed recipient is not required
to immediately sell the Options to fund a tax
liability (as would be the case in an issue of
Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of
the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold
an interest in the Company;
(c)
the issue of the Options to Dr Miles Jakeman will
further align their interests with those of
Shareholders;
(d)
the issue is a reasonable and appropriate
method to provide cost effective remuneration
as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow
the Company to spend a greater proportion of
its cash reserves on its operations than it would
if alternative cash forms of remuneration were
given to Dr Miles Jakeman; and
(e)
it is not considered that there are any significant
opportunity costs to the Company or benefits
foregone by the Company in issuing the
Options on the terms proposed.
Consideration of quantum
of Options to be issued
The number of Options to be issued has been
determined based upon a consideration of:
(a)
current market standards and/or practices of
other ASX listed companies of a similar size and
stage of development to the Company;
(b)
the remuneration of the proposed
recipient; and
(c)
incentives to attract and retain the
service of the proposed recipient who
has
appropriate
knowledge
and
expertise,
while
maintaining
the
Company’s cash reserves.
As noted above, the Company does not consider that
there are any significant opportunity costs to the
Company or benefits foregone by the Company in
issuing the Options upon the terms proposed.

recipient for the previous financial year and the

6. RESOLUTION 6 – INCREASE IN TOTAL AGGREGATE REMUNERATION FOR NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval to increase the total aggregate amount of remuneration for non-executive Directors by $500,000, from $250,000 per annum to $750,000 per annum. Shareholder approval is being sought for the purposes of Clause 14.8 of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rules 10.17.

Clauses 14.7 and 14.8 of the Company’s constitution provide that the total aggregate maximum remuneration to be paid to non-executive Directors per annum is $250,000 which may be varied by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting.

ASX Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of directors’ fees payable to all of its non-executive directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities.

Directors’ fees include all fees payable by the entity or any of its child entities to a nonexecutive director for acting as a director of the entity or any of its child entities (including attending and participating in any board committee meetings), superannuation contributions for the benefit of a non-executive director and any fees which a nonexecutive director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits. It does not include reimbursement of genuine out of pocket expenses, genuine “special exertion” fees paid in accordance with an entity’s constitution, or securities issued to a non-executive director under Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 with the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities.

The aggregate remuneration paid to non-executive Directors for the financial years ended 30 June 2023 and 2024 was $137,631and $140,050 respectively.

The estimated aggregate remuneration proposed to be paid to non-executive directors for the financial year ending 30 June 2025 is $154,875. The Company does not intend to materially increase the remuneration of existing non-executive Directors and instead is seeking to increase the maximum aggregate amount of fees that may be paid to the nonexecutive Directors to provide the Company with the flexibility to recruit new Directors, particularly those located overseas or with overseas experience, in the medium to long term to diversify and expand the Board level and range of skills as the Company’s business progresses.

16

6.1 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, the maximum aggregate amount of fees that may be paid to the non-executive Directors will increase by $500,000 to $750,000.

If this Resolution is not passed, the maximum aggregate amount of fees that may be paid to non-executive Directors will remain at $250,000. This may inhibit the ability of the Company to remunerate, attract and retain appropriately skilled non-executive directors.

REQUIRED INFORMATION DETAILS
Maximum aggregate
amount of director’s fees
This
Resolution
seeks
to
increase
the
maximum
aggregate amount of fees that may be paid to the non-
executive Directors by an amount of $500,000 to
$750,000.
This amount has been determined having regard to
international
remuneration
benchmarks
and
the
Company’s intention to expand its Board in the medium
term to include directors with suitable experience in key
global markets, including the United States of America.
The Directors believe increasing the director fee pool will
provide capacity for the Company to attract suitable
candidates to join the Board, if and when the
opportunities arise.
The Company notes that the current remuneration being
received
by
the
2
non-executive
Directors
falls
signifancatly short of the increased aggregate amount
sought of $750,000. The Company does not intend to
materially increase the remuneration of existing non-

maximum aggregate amount of fees that may be paid
to the non-executive Directors to provide the Company
with the flexibility to recruit new Directors, particularly
those located overseas or with overseas experience, in
the medium to long term to diversify and expand the
Board level and range of skills as the Company’s business
progresses.
The increase will also allow the Company to be able to
remunerate its non-executive Directors appropriately for
the expectations placed upon them both by the
Company and the regulatory environment in which it
operates.
Securities issued to non-
executive Directors
In the past 3 years, the Company has issued an
aggregate of 2,351,849 Options and 1,210,313 Shares to
non-executive Directors pursuant to Listing Rules 10.11
and 10.14.
These Securities were issued to the following non-
executive Directors:
(a)

7. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

7.1 General

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

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

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an Eligible Entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ). The Company is an Eligible Entity.

7.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

For this Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be cast in favour of the Resolution.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

7.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

DETAILS
Period for
which the 7.1A

(a)
the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
(b)
the time and date of the Company’s next annual
general meeting; and
(c)
the time and date of approval by Shareholders of
any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a
significant change in the nature or scale of activities)
or

undertaking).
Minimum price Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an
existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash
consideration at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted
averageprice of EquitySecurities in that class,calculated over the 15

to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the
Equity Securities; or
(b)
if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading
days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date
on which the Equity Securities are issued.
Use of funds If required, the Company intends to use funds raised from issues of
Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for:
(a)
advancing the Company’s existing operations;
(b)
business development, promotion and marketing services;
(c)
the acquisition of new strategic assets and investments
(including expenses associated with such an acquisition);
and/or
(d)
general working capital.
Risk of
economic and
voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the
interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues
the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A
Mandate, 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 Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the
basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity
Securities on issue proposed to be issued as at 8 October 2024.
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 7.1A Mandate.

rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with

The table above uses the following assumptions:*
1.
There are currently 286,624,298 Shares on issue.

19

REQUIRED
INFORMATION
DETAILS
2.
The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the
ASX on 8 October 2024 (being $0.080).
3.
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under
the 7.1A Mandate.
4.
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the
Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with
approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
5.
The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It
is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue
of the Equity Securities. 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.
6.
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.
7.
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule
7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
8.
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%.
9.
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a
particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate,
based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
(a)
the market price for the Company’s Shares may be
significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the
Meeting; and
(b)
the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a
discount to the market price for those Shares on the
date of issue.
Allocation
policy under
7.1A Mandate
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A
Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of
Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors
(or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue
under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:
(a)
the purpose of the issue;
(b)
alternative methods for raising funds available to the
Company at that time, including, but not limited to,
an
entitlement
issue,
share
purchase
plan,
placement
or
other
offer
where
existing
Shareholders may participate;
(c)
the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the
control of the Company;
(d)
the circumstances of the Company, including, but
not limited to, the financial position and solvency of
the Company;
(e)
prevailing market conditions; and
(f)
advice from corporate, financial and broking
advisers (if applicable).

(b) Notification to holder

The Company shall notify the holder in writing when the relevant Vesting Condition has been satisfied.

(c) Conversion

Subject to paragraph (r), upon satisfaction of the applicable Performance Condition, and if Mr Lai remains engaged by the Company, each Performance Right will, at the election of the holder (by notice to the Company in writing), convert into one Share.

(d) Expiry Date

Each Performance Right shall otherwise expire on or before the date that is 2 years from the date of issue ( Expiry Date ). If the relevant Performance Condition attached to the Performance Right has been achieved by the Expiry Date, all unconverted Performance Rights of the relevant tranche will automatically lapse at that time.

(e) Consideration

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

(f)

Share ranking

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

(g) Application to ASX

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

(h) Fraudulent or dishonest action

If Mr Lai ceases to be an employee or Director of the Company in circumstances where the cessation or termination is specifically referenced to him having been found to have acted fraudulently or dishonestly in the performance of his or her duties, then:

  • (i) the Board must deem any Performance Right of the holder to have immediately lapsed and be forfeited; and

  • (ii) any Performance Right that has vested will continue in existence in accordance with their terms of issue only if the relevant Performance Condition has previously been met, and any Shares issued on satisfaction of the applicable Performance Condition will remain the property of Mr Lai.

(i) Ceasing to be an employee or Director

If Mr Lai ceases to be an employee or Director of the Company in circumstances where the cessation or termination arises because he:

  • (i) voluntarily resigns his position (other than to take up employment with a subsidiary of the Company);

  • (ii) wilfully breaches the terms of his engagement with the Company or any policy of the Company’s published policies regulating his behaviour;

  • (iii) is convicted of a criminal offence which, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, might tend to injure the reputation or the business of the Company; or

  • (iv) is found guilty of a breach of the Corporations Act and the Board considers that it brings Mr Lai or the Company into disrepute,

then:

25

  • (v) unless the Board decides otherwise in its absolute discretion, will deem any Performance Rights of the holder to have immediately lapsed and be forfeited; and

  • (vi) any Performance Rights that have vested will continue in existence in accordance with their terms of issue only if the relevant Performance Condition has previously been met and any Shares issued on satisfaction of the applicable Performance Condition will remain the property of Mr Lai.

  • (j) Other circumstances

The Performance Rights will not lapse and be forfeited where Mr Lai ceases to be an employee or Director of the Company for one of the following reasons:

  • (i) death or total permanent disability (in respect of total permanent disability being that because of a sickness or injury, Mr Lai is unable to work in his own or any occupation for which they are suited by training, education, or experience for a period beyond one year);

  • (ii) redundancy (being where Mr Lai ceases to be an employee or Director due to the Company no longer requiring his position to be performed by any person); or

  • (iii) any other reason, other than a reason listed in paragraph (m) and (n) (not including (m)(i) in which case the Board may exercise its absolute discretion to allow Mr Lai to retain their Performance Rights), that the Board determines is reasonable to permit Mr Lai to retain his Performance Rights,

and in those circumstances the Performance Rights will continue to be subject to the applicable Performance Condition.

  • (k)

Timing of issue of Shares on conversion

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

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

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

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

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

  • (l)

Transfer of Performance Rights

The Performance Rights are not transferable.

  • (m)

Participation in new issues

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

(n)

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

26

consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation.

(o) Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares

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

(p) Dividend and voting rights

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

(q) Change in control

Subject to paragraph (r), and notwithstanding that a Vesting Condition has not been satisfied, upon:

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

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

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

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

then, to the extent Performance Rights have not converted into Shares due to satisfaction of the relevant Vesting Conditions, Performance Rights will accelerate vesting conditions and will automatically convert into Shares on a one-for-one basis provided that if the number of Shares that would be issued upon such conversion is greater than 10% of the Company’s Shares on issue as at the date of conversion, then that number of Performance Rights that is equal to 10% of the Company’s Shares on issue as at the date of conversion under this paragraph will automatically convert into an equivalent number of Shares. The conversion will be completed on a pro rata basis across each class of Performance Rights then on issue. Performance Rights that are not converted into Shares under this paragraph will continue to be held on the same terms and conditions.

(r) Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares

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

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

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

27

(s) No rights to return of capital

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

(t)

Rights on winding up

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

(u) ASX Listing Rule compliance

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

(v)

No other rights

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

(w) Tax Deferral

For the avoidance of doubt, Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997¸ which enables tax deferral on performance rights, applies (subject to the conditions in that Act) to the Performance Rights.

28
