6. RESOLUTIONS 10 – APPROVAL OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SCHEME

6.1 Background

In June 2011 the Board adopted the Employee and Officer Share Option Plan (" Option Plan ") to enable the Company to issue Options to eligible participants including employees and officers.

The Option Plan is intended to provide an opportunity to eligible participants to participate in the Company's future growth and provide an incentive to contribute to that growth. The Option Plan is further designed to assist in retaining employees.

A copy of the Option Plan will be made available for inspection at the Meeting. A summary of the Option Plan is set out in Schedule 1.

6.2 Regulatory Requirements

Shareholder approval is not required under the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules for the establishment or operation of the Plan. However, Shareholder approval is being sought to allow the Company to rely on an exception to the calculation of the 15% limit imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on the number of securities that may be issued without shareholder approval. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9(b) provides that ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme that has been approved by shareholders and the issue of securities is within 3 years from the date of shareholder approval of the issue of securities under the employee incentive scheme.

If an offer is made to a Director to participate in the Option Plan then separate Shareholder approval will need to be obtained.

6.3 Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders approve the Option Plan. It will allow the Company to issue securities for the benefit of participants of the Option Plan whilst preserving the Company's 15% limit of issuing securities and provide flexibility in the manner in which the Option Plan is managed.

Instructions for Completing Appointment of Proxy Form

  1. In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, a shareholder of the Company who is entitled to attend and cast two or more votes at a general meeting of shareholders is entitled to appoint two proxies. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

  2. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.

  3. Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  4. 2 directors of the company;

  5. a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  6. for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in sections 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with sections 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of sections 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

  1. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  2. Where a Proxy Form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.

  3. In accordance with section 250BA of the Corporations Act the Company specifies the following for the purposes of receipt of proxy appointments:

Registered Office: 24 Colin Street, West Perth, Western Australia, 6005 Fax Number: +61 (8) 9481 1756 Postal Address: PO Box 2803, West Perth, Western Australia, 6872
