How to vote

Shareholders can vote by either:

  • attending the Meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate Shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or

  • appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the Proxy Form accompanying this Notice and by submitting their Proxy Form online, by hand, by post or by facsimile.

Voting in person or by attorney

Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and their attendance recorded. A certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the original Power of Attorney, must be received by the Company in the same manner, and by the same time as outlined for proxy forms below.

Voting by a corporation

A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. Written proof of the representative’s appointment (including any authority under which it is signed) must be lodged with, or presented to the Company before the Meeting.

Voting by proxy

  • A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.

  • The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).

  • A proxy need not be a Shareholder. The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.

  • If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit. However, where a Restricted Voter is appointed as a proxy, the proxy may only vote on Resolutions 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 if the proxy is the Chair of the Meeting and the appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

  • Should any resolution, other than those specified in this Notice, be proposed at the Meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolution as they think fit.

  • If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the Shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.

  • A Shareholder who returns their Proxy Form with a direction how to vote, but does not nominate the identity of their proxy, will be taken to have appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a Proxy Form is returned with a direction how to vote, but the nominated proxy (who is not Chair of the Meeting) does not attend the Meeting or does not vote on the relevant Resolution(s), the Chair of the Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote on a poll in accordance with any instructions.

  •  Proxy appointments in favour of the Chair of the Meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used, where possible, to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions. These rules are explained in this Notice.

  • Proxies must be received by 12.00pm (AEDT) on 26 November 2016 . Proxies received after this time will be invalid.

  • Proxies may be lodged using any of the following methods:

  • Online : www.linkmarketservices.com.au

Explanatory Memorandum

This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of the Company.

Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Memorandum. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations are set out in the Glossary to the Explanatory Memorandum.

Financial Reports

The Board is required to lay before the Meeting the consolidated annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2016, together with the Directors' report (including the Remuneration Report) and the Auditor's Report on the financial report. No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions, and to make comments on the reports and on the management of the Company.

The Chair will also give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor or the Auditor’s representative questions relevant to: the conduct of the audit; the preparation and content of the independent audit report; the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

The Chair will also allow a reasonable opportunity for the Auditor or their representative to answer any written questions submitted to the Auditor under section 250PA of the Corporations Act.

A copy of the Company’s 2016 Annual Report is available on the ASX website or at www.goldenrim.com.au under the “News and Reports” tab.

Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to put to its Shareholders a resolution that the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2016 Annual Report be adopted. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report and commences at page 22.

The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors, sets out remuneration details for each Director and any service agreements and sets out the details of any equity based compensation.

Shareholders are entitled to vote on the question as to whether the Remuneration Report is to be adopted. However, the vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the second annual general meeting ( Spill Resolution ), to approve calling a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must then convene a Spill Meeting within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the applicable Directors’ Report was approved, other than any Managing Director, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors.

The Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 did not receive a vote of more than 25% against its adoption at the Company’s 2015 annual general meeting held on 26 November 2015. Accordingly, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against adoption of the Remuneration Report it will not result in the Company putting a Spill Resolution to Shareholders.

Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Rick Crabb as a Director

Pursuant to Clause 13.2 of the Company's Constitution, Rick Crabb, being a Director, retires by way of rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.

Mr Crabb holds degrees of Bachelor of Jurisprudence (Honours), Bachelor of Laws and Master of Business Administration from the University of Western Australia. He has practiced as a solicitor from 1980 to 2004 specialising in mining, corporate and commercial law. He has advised on all legal aspects including financing, marketing, government agreements and construction contracts for many resource development projects in Australia and Africa. Mr Crabb now focuses on his public company directorships and investments. He has been involved as a director and strategic shareholder in a number of successful public companies. Mr Crabb is a Councillor on the Western Australian Division of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Mr Crabb is currently also non-executive Chairman of Paladin Resources Ltd (appointed 8 February 1994).

Mr Crabb has been a director of Golden Rim since 21 August 2001. The Board considers that Mr Crabb, if re-elected, will continue to be classified as an independent director.

The members of the Board (other than Mr Crabb) support the re-election of Mr Crabb.

Resolution 3 – Approval to issue securities under Option Incentive Plan

In 2010, the Board considered it desirable to establish an employee incentive scheme pursuant to which certain employees and Directors may be offered the opportunity to be granted options in order to attract persons of experience and ability to employment with the Company and provide incentive to the employees to remain in their employment in the long term. Accordingly, the Directors adopted the Golden Rim Resources Limited Employee Share Option Plan ( Former Plan ). The Former Plan was consistent with ASIC Class Order 03/184 ( CO 03/184 ), which provides relief from certain provisions of the Corporations Act relating to disclosure, on-sale, licensing and hawking. The Former Plan was last approved by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting held on 22 November 2013.

ASIC has issued a new class order, ASIC Class Order 14/1000 ( CO 14/1000 ), which expanded the category of persons who can participate under an employee incentive scheme to include non-executive directors and certain contractors and casual employees, defined the identity of permitted nominees to whom offers under a plan can be renounced, simplified the ASIC notification requirements and made some other changes.

The Board has resolved to adopt a new share option plan called the Golden Rim Resources Limited Option Incentive Plan ( Plan ) that is consistent with CO 14/1000.

The Plan is designed to attract, retain and motivate eligible employees, promote and foster loyalty and support amongst eligible employees for the benefit of the Company, enhance the relationship between the Company and Eligible Employees for the long term mutual benefit of all parties and provide eligible employees with the opportunity to share in any future growth in value of the Company through the issue of Options.

To enable the Company to secure employees and Directors who can assist the Company in achieving its objectives, it is necessary to provide remuneration and incentives to such personnel. Under the Company's current circumstances, the Directors consider that granting options to employees and Directors are a cost effective and efficient incentive, as opposed to alternative forms of incentives such as cash bonuses or increased remuneration.

A summary of the key terms of the Plan is set out in Annexure A .

Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9(b)

Shareholder approval is sought so that an issue of Options under the Plan can fall within the exception to the calculation of the 15% limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1 on the number of securities which may be issued without Shareholder approval. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b) which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme that has been approved by the holders of ordinary securities within three years of the date of issue. This will preserve the Company’s ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1 for other purposes, such as capital raising.

Golden Rim Resources Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2016

2

Separate Shareholder approval will be required before any Director or other related party of the Company can participate in the Plan.

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b), the following information is provided to Shareholders:

  • (a) a summary of the rules of the Plan is set out in Annexure A ;

  • (b) the Plan has not previously been approved by Shareholders. However, as noted above, the Company had in place the Former Plan, which was approved by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting held on 22 November 2013. No Options have been issued pursuant to the Former Plan since the Former Plan was last approved.

  • (c) a voting exclusion statement has been included in relation to Resolution 3.

The Board considers that the Plan is an appropriate way to assist in the recruitment, reward, retention and motivation of Company personnel and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 – Approval to issue Options to Directors

The Company proposes to grant a total of 28,000,000 Director Options to the Directors, or their nominees, under the Plan as follows:

Mr Glenister Lamont 2,000,000 2,000,000 3,000,000 7,000,000

The Board has determined the exercise prices of the Director Options with regard to the market value of the Shares, and considers the prices to be a suitable premium to the meet the objectives of the proposed grant of Director Options as outlined on page 4 of this Explanatory Memorandum.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or

  • (b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, each of the Directors (or their nominee(s)) is a related party of the Company.

Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 relate to the proposed grant of Director Options to each of the Directors, which is a financial benefit that requires Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

The following information in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Options, the subject of Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of section 219 of the Corporations Act and with reference to ASIC Regulatory Guide 76: Related party transactions :

Nature of the financial
benefit
The
proposed
financial
benefit is the issue of
14,000,000
Director
Options
for
no
consideration.
The
proposed
financial
benefit is the issue of
7,000,000 Director Options
for no consideration.
The
proposed
financial
benefit is the issue of
7,000,000 Director Options
for no consideration.
Details of the financial
benefit, including
reasons for giving the
type and quantity of the
benefit
The terms of the Director Options are set out inAnnexure B.
The proposed grant of Director Options will be subject to the terms of the Plan.
However, if there is any inconsistency between the terms of the Director options set out
in Annexure B and the Plan, the terms set out in Annexure B prevail to the extent of the
inconsistency.
The grant of Director Options encourages Mr Mackay, as the Company’s Managing
Director, to have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company’s objectives
and to provide an incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and
prosperity of the Company through Share ownership. Under the Company’s current
circumstances, the Directors consider (in the absence of Mr Mackay) that the incentive
intended for Mr Mackay represented by the grant of 14,000,000 Director Options is a
cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide a reward and an incentive,
as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as the payment of additional cash
compensation.
Under the Company’s current circumstances, the Directors consider that the issue of
Director Options to Messrs Crabb and Lamont represents a cost effective way for the
Company to remunerate those directors, as opposed to additional cash remuneration
and it is designed to attract and retain suitably qualified non-executive directors, and to
align their interests with the interests of other security holders. The Director Options
have vesting conditions (as outlined in the terms set out in Annexure B) but do not have
any performance hurdles attached to them.

(b) the extensive experience and reputation of the Directors within the resources
industry;
(c)
the current price of Shares;
(d) the Directors’ wish to ensure that the remuneration offered is competitive with

number of Director Options to be granted and will ensure that the Directors’ overall
remuneration is in line with market practice;
(e) attracting and retaining suitably qualified non-executive directors; and
(f)
incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of Directors who have
appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash
reserves.
The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the
Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Director Options upon the
termsproposed.

If all Director Options granted as proposed by Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 are exercised, and assuming all existing Options on issue have been exercised, the effect of the exercise of the Director Options the subject of Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 would be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders (including new shareholders as a result of the options being exercised) by 1.77%. The market price of the Company’s Shares during the period of the Director Options will normally determine whether or not the Directors exercise the Director Options. At the time any Director Options are exercised and Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise Director Options, the Company’s Shares may be trading at a price which is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options. The Director Options will not be quoted on ASX.

remuneration as there may be a conflict of interest. Whilst Messrs Crabb and Lamont do
not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4, given it is proposed
that they also be issued with Director Options under Resolutions 5 and 6 respectively, they
have declined to make a recommendation about Resolution 4 in line with the ASIC
guidance.

material personal interest in the outcome of that particular Resolution as it relates to the
proposed grant of Director Options to him individually (or his nominee(s)). Messrs Mackay

Listing Rules 10.14 and 10.15

Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a directors’ meeting from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may deal with the matter.

The Directors do not have a material personal interest in the issue of Director Options to a Director (or their nominee(s)) other than to himself. However, given that it is proposed that all Directors are issued Director Options pursuant to Resolutions 4, 5 and 6, they may be considered to have a material personal interest in the outcome of

Golden Rim Resources Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2016

7

Resolutions 4, 5 and 6, in which case the Directors would be unable to form a quorum. Accordingly, the Board considers it prudent to exercise their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, and put the matter to Shareholders to resolve.

Resolution 7 – Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity

Background

Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which a resolution for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is passed by special resolution ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ). The Additional 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An entity will be eligible to seek approval under Listing Rule 7.1A if:

  • (a) the entity has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less; and

  • (b) the entity is not included in the S&P ASX 300 Index.

The Company has a market capitalisation of $12.9 million as at the date of this Notice and is an eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholders’ approval to issue additional Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. The approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity provides greater flexibility for the Board to issue Shares in the 12 month period following the Meeting. It is anticipated that funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity would be applied towards the Company’s exploration activities, the acquisition of new assets (should suitable assets be found), administration costs and general working capital.

If passed, Resolution 7 will allow the Company to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Additional Placement Period (as defined below) without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.1A

Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has quoted Shares on issue.

Based on the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice, the Company has 1,438,520,000 Shares on issue and therefore, subject to Shareholders approving Resolution 7, 143,852,000 Equity Securities may be issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A. Shareholders should note that the calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity is a moving calculation and will be based on the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 at the time of issue of the Equity Securities. That formula is:

(A x D) – E

A

is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (a) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (b) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (c) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of Shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid Shares under the Company’s 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval; and

  • (d) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that ‘A’ is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

D

is 10%.

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue, that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.

Shareholders will be kept fully informed of any issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity as the Company will disclose to the market at the time of issue the specific information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A (such as details of dilution of existing Shareholders) in addition to information required by Listing Rule 7.1A.4, Appendix 3B and any other applicable listing rules. The table below demonstrates various examples as to the number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

Note : The table above assumes:

  • (a) No Options are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (b) The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares.

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

The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 7 is a special resolution, requiring approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) in order to be passed.

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

The following information in relation to the Shares proposed to be issued is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A:

Minimum price The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the
volume weighted average price for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15
Trading Days on which trades in the class were recorded immediately before:
(a)
the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is
agreed; or
(b)
if the Equity Securities are not issued within five Trading Days of the date in
paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
Potential risk of economic
and voting dilution
If Resolution 7 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity
Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, Shareholders who do not
participate (either because they are not invited to participate or because they elect not
to participate) in any such issue, will have their existing interest and voting power in
the Company diluted. There is also a risk that:
(a)
the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower
on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting;
(b)
the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market
price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity
Securities; or

(c)
the Equity Securities may be issued for non-cash consideration,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of Equity
Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.
The table above on page 9 shows the dilution of existing Shareholders upon the issue
of the maximum number of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement
Capacity, using different variables for the number of ordinary securities for variable ‘A’
(as defined in Listing Rule 7.1A) and the market price of Shares. It is noted that
variable ‘A’ is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue
at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities.
The table shows:
(a)
examples of where variable ‘A’ is at its current level, and where variable ‘A’ has
increased by 50% and by 100%;
(b)
examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities is the current market
price as at close of trade on 28 September 2016, being $0.10, (current market
price), where the issue price is halved, and where it is doubled; and
(c)
that the dilutionary effect will always be 10% if the maximum number of Equity
Securities that may be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity are
issued.
Timing of potential issues Approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be valid during the period
(Additional Placement Period) from the date of the Meeting and will expire on the
earlier of:
(a)
the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting; and
(b)
the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules
11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal
of main undertaking).
Purpose of potential issues The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
(a)
If Equity Securities are issued for cash consideration, the Company intends to
use the funds for exploration activities, the acquisition of new assets (should
suitable assets be found), administration costs and general working capital; and
(b)
If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash consideration to acquire access to
strategic tenements or assets identified by the Company to further existing
projects and future growth. If Equity Securities are issued for non-cash
consideration, the Company will comply with the minimum issue price limitation
under Listing Rule 7.1A.3 in relation to such issue and will release the valuation
of the non-cash consideration to the market.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.3
and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
Allocation policy The identity of the persons to whom Shares will be issued is not yet known and will be
determined on a case by case basis having regard to market conditions at the time of
the proposed issue of Equity Securities, including consideration of matters including,
but not limited to:
(a)
the ability of the Company to raise funds at the time of the proposed issue of
Equity Securities and whether the raising of any funds under such placement
could be carried out by means of an entitlements offer, or a placement and an
entitlements offer;
(b)
the dilutionary effect of the proposed issue of the Equity Securities on existing
Shareholders at the time of proposed issued of Equity Securities;
(c)
the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
(d)
advice from its professional advisers, including corporate, financial and broking
advisers (if applicable).

The vesting conditions (if any) will be determined when the Options are granted, and set out in
the Offer. Options will vest when the relevant vesting conditions (if any) are satisfied, waived by
the Board or are deemed to have been satisfied under the Plan.
Provided any vesting conditions have been satisfied or waived and the Option is otherwise
capable of exercise, an Option may be exercised at any time up until the expiry date specified in
the Offer.
Adjustment to
exercise terms
The Board will have the power to make adjustments to or vary the terms of exercise of an
Option, including reducing or waiving the vesting conditions attaching to Options in whole or in
part at any time and in any particular case. Any proposed variation or adjustment will be subject
to any requirements of the Corporations Act and/or the Listing Rules (including Shareholder
approval). However, no variation to the terms of exercise of an Option will be made without the
consent of the Participant if it would have a material prejudicial effect on them, unless
introduced primarily to comply with the law or Plan, to correct manifest error or to enable
regulatory compliance.

Lapse of
Options
Unless otherwise specified in the vesting conditions or determined otherwise by the Board, an
Option lapses on the earlier of:
(a)
the Board determining that any vesting condition attaching to the Option has not been
satisfied or is not capable of being satisfied;
(b)
the day after the last day the Option may be exercised; and
(c)
the Option lapsing under the cessation of employment, change of control or breach, fraud
or misconduct provisions of the Plan.
When Options lapse, all rights of a Participant in respect of those Options are forfeited.
New issues,
reorganisations
and winding-up
If the Company makes a pro rata issue of Shares (except a bonus issue) during the term of an
Option, the exercise price of the Option will be reduced according to the formula in the Listing
Rules.
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares during the term of an Option, the number of
Shares the holder is entitled to will be increased by the number of Shares the holder would have
been issued if the Options were exercised.
If there is a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company (including a consolidation,
subdivision, reduction or return) then the rights of a Participant (including the number of Options
to which each Participant is entitled and the exercise price) will be changed to the extent
necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of
the reorganisation.
If a resolution for a members’ voluntary winding up of the Company is proposed (other than for
the purpose of a reconstruction or amalgamation) the Board may, in its absolute discretion, give
written notice to Participants of the proposed resolution. Subject to the vesting conditions, the
Participants may, during the period referred to in the notice, exercise their Options
Cessation of
employment
Subject to the ultimate discretion of the Board, if a Participant ceases to be employed due to:
(a)
resignation, dismissal for cause or poor performance or another circumstance determined
by the Board, any Options held by the Participant shall lapse whether they are vested or
unvested; and
(b)
disability, mental illness, redundancy or death, or another reason other than that stated in
(a), any unvested Options held by the Participant shall lapse, but any vested Options shall
continue to be able to be exercised in accordance with their terms.
Change of
control
If there is a change of control event (which is defined in the Plan, and includes a takeover for
the Company which is (or is declared) unconditional, a court order to convene a meeting for a
scheme of arrangement, a merger resulting in the current Shareholders being entitled to 50% or
less of the shares of the merged entity, a Group Company agreeing to sell a majority of its
business or assets or a determination of the Board that control of the Company has or is likely
to change), the Board may in its sole and absolute discretion determine how unvested Options
will be treated, including determining that some or all of the Options vest or reducing or waiving
vesting conditions.
Misconduct and
clawback
If in the opinion of the Board a Participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly or is in material
breach of their obligations to a Group Company, then the Board may determine that all the
Participant’s Options lapse.
If the Board becomes aware of a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements
or some other event has occurred which, as a result, means that the vesting conditions in
respect of certain vested Options were not, or should not have been determined to have been,
satisfied, then the Participant will cease to be entitled to those Vested Options (Affected
Options) and the Board may take various actions, including: cancelling the relevant Affected
Options for no consideration; requiring that the Participant pay to the Company the after tax
value of the Affected Options which have been converted into Shares or adjust fixed
remuneration, incentives or participation in this Plan of a relevant Participant in the current year
or any future year to take account of the after tax value of the Affected Options.
Amendment of
Rules
Subject to and in accordance with the Listing Rules (including any waiver granted under such
Listing Rules), the Board (without the necessity of obtaining the prior or subsequent consent of
Shareholders of the Company in a general meeting) may from time to time amend (including the
power to revoke, add to or vary) all or any provisions of the Rules in any respect whatsoever, by
an instrument in writing, provided that rights or entitlements in respect of any Option granted
before the date of amendment shall not be reduced or adversely affected unless prior written
approval from the affected Participant(s) is obtained.
