The Directors recommend Shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

Unless otherwise defined, terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum are defined in Section 9.

2. Resolution 1 – Issue of Acquisition Shares and Options

  • 2.1 Background

As announced on 19 October 2022, the Company proposes to acquire all of the issued shares in Australian-incorporated 92 U Pty Ltd ACN 654 518 359 ( 92 U ) for the purchase price of A$6,000,000 ( 92 U Acquisition ). The sole shareholder of 92 U is Kabunga Holdings Pty Ltd ACN 166 309 039 ( Kabunga Holdings ) who holds the 92 U Shares on trust for the 92 U Vendors.

92 U is the legal and beneficial owner of all the shares in two Tanzanian companies, 92 U Tanzania Limited and Monaco Copper Limited. 92 U Tanzania Limited and Monaco Copper Limited own various prospecting licence applications. Under the terms of the 92 U Acquisition, completion is conditional upon 92 U Tanzania Limited and Monaco Copper Limited (as the case may be) securing the grant of twelve prospecting licences from this group of applications which have been prioritised due to prospectivity ( Nominated Prospecting Licences ). The remaining applications will be processed for grant in due course.

In accordance with the terms of the Share Sale Agreement dated 19 October 2022, the purchase price will be discharged by the Company by issuing 60,000,000 ordinary Shares at an issue price of $0.10 ( Acquisition Shares ) and 30,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.20 on or before 30 September 2025 (Acquisition Options) to the 92 Vendors.

Completion of the Acquisition is conditional upon the following occurring:

  • (a) the Company completing a satisfactory due diligence of the projects and related interests;

  • (b) the Company obtaining shareholder approval for the issue of the Acquisition Shares and Acquisition Options to complete the 92 U Acquisition;

  • (c) the Company obtaining shareholder approval of the T1 Placement and T2 Placement and approval for Advisor Shares and Advisor Options to be issued to Vert Capital Pty Ltd; and

  • (d) the Company receiving confirmation of the formal grant of the Nominated Prospecting Licences to 92 U Tanzania Limited and Monaco Copper Limited.

Resolution 1 is an Ordinary Resolution and seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of the Acquisition Shares and Acquisition Options to the 92 U Vendors for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Page 11 of 46

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

2.2 Introduction

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder authorisation to issue up to 60,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.10 ( Acquisition Shares ) and 30,000,000 options to subscribe for Shares in the Company, exercisable at $0.20 each and expiring on 30 September 2025 ( Acquisition Options ) to the 92 U Vendors.

2.3 Listing Rule 7.1 - Issues exceeding 15% of capital

Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company, except in certain cases, from issuing in any relevant period new Equity Securities equivalent in number to more than 15% of the total number of ordinary securities on issue at the beginning of the relevant period ( 15% Capacity ) without either the prior approval of a majority of disinterested shareholders, or the issue otherwise falls within one of the prescribed exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 ( 15% Rule ).

Equity Securities issued with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 do not count towards the 15% Capacity.

The Acquisition Shares and Acquisition Options are Equity Securities under the Listing Rules.

Further under Exception 9 in Listing Rule 7.2, an issue of Equity Securities on the conversion of Convertible Securities (including Options) does not count towards the 15% Capacity provided that the Company issued the Convertible Securities:

  • (a) before it was listed and disclosed the existence and material terms of the Convertible Securities in the prospectus, PDS or information memorandum lodged with ASX under the Listing Rule 1.1 condition 3; or

  • (b) after it was listed and complied with the Listing Rules when it did so.

Therefore the Company is seeking Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Acquisition Shares and the Acquisition Options so that the Acquisition Shares and the Acquisition Options and Equity Securities issued upon the exercise of the Acquisition Options do not count towards the Company’s 15% Capacity.

In addition, the Acquisition Shares and Acquisition 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 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to issue the Acquisition Shares and Acquisition Options and the Company will not be able to proceed with the 92 U Acquisition.

2.6 Directors’ interests in Resolution 1

The sole director and shareholder of Kabunga Holdings is Mr Asimwe Kabunga. Kabunga Holdings holds the 92 Shares on trust for the 92 U Vendors and the Acquisition Shares and Acquisition Options will be issued to the 92 U Vendors. The 92 U Vendors include Kabunga Holdings, an entity controlled by Mr Asimwe Kabunga who will receive a total of 40,000,000 Acquisitions Shares and 20,000,000 Acquisition Options.

Page 13 of 46

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Chapter 10 of the Listing Rules

At the time of execution of the Share Sale Agreement, Mr Kabunga was not a director of the Company. While the Share Sale Agreement contemplates that Mr Kabunga will become a director of the Company as part of the 92 U Acquisition, the Listing Rules provide an exception for approval under Chapter 10 of the Listing Rules for transactions with persons in a position of influence where the agreement or transaction is between the company and a person who would not otherwise be a Related Party but for the fact that they believe, or have reasonable grounds to believe, that they are likely to become a Related Party in the future because of the agreement or transaction. As the only reason that Mr Kabunga was likely to become a Related Party was because of the 92 U Acquisition, shareholder approval Chapter 10 of the Listing Rules for the 92 Acquisition and the issue of the Acquisition Shares and Acquisition Options is not required.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A public company is also prohibited under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act from giving a Financial Benefit to a Related Party of the company unless shareholder approval is obtained or unless the benefit falls within one of various exceptions to the general prohibition. The process for and requirements that need to be met for the convening of the shareholder’s meeting are set out in Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

The issue of the Acquisition Shares and Acquisition Options to the 92 U Vendors will confer a Financial Benefit on Asimwe Kabunga/Kabunga Holdings as a Related Party of the Company.

Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act the Company is not required to obtain the approval of Shareholders if the Financial Benefit is given on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and the Related Party were dealing at arm’s length (or are less favourable than those terms). The terms of the Acquisition were reached prior to the appointment of Mr Asimwe Kabunga to the Board of the Company. Accordingly, whilst at the time of completion of the Acquisition, Mr Kabunga will be a Related Party, the Acquisition was negotiated by the Company’s senior management team and the Board are of the view that the “arm’s length” exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act is available to the Company.

2.7 Director recommendation

The non-participating members of the Board, comprising Ms Anna Nahajski-Staples, Mr Ian Hodkinson, Mr Peter Tighe and Mr Shizhou Yin, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Ordinary Resolution.

3. Resolution 2 - Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares under the T1 Placement

Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company, except in certain cases, from issuing new equity securities equivalent in number to more than 15% of its fully paid ordinary issued capital in the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement (if the entity has been admitted to the official list for 12 months or more) or the period from the date the entity was admitted to the official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement (if the entity has been admitted to the official list for less than 12 months) without the prior approval of its shareholders.

Equity securities issued with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.4 do not count towards the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without prior approval under Listing Rule 7.1 can be treated as having been made with that approval if shareholders subsequently approve it.

If Resolution 2 is approved it will have the effect of refreshing the Company’s ability, to the extent of the T1 Placement Shares, to issue further capital during the next 12 months pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 without the need to obtain further Shareholder approval (subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act). If Resolution 2 is not passed, the T1 Placement Shares will be counted toward the 15% limit pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of 12 months from the date of issue.

Equity Securities issued with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 do not count towards the 15% Capacity.

The T1 Placement Options are Equity Securities under the Listing Rules.

6.6 Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of this Ordinary Resolution.

7. Resolution 6 – Issue of Options to Paloma Investments Pty Ltd

7.1 Introduction

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder authorisation to issue up to 1,000,000 options to subscribe for fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company exercisable at $0.17 each, expiring on 31 May 2025 ( Director Options ) to Paloma Investments Pty Ltd ACN 147 613 125 ( Paloma Investments ) under the ESOP.

Earlier this year, the Company adopted an ESOP with the intention of ensuring that the mix and balance of remuneration is appropriate to attract, motivate and retain high calibre directors, senior executives and key management personnel, utilising a policy that is consistent with the Company’s business strategy and contemporary corporate governance standards.

Approval for the issue of the Director Options is sought in accordance with Listing Rule 10.14 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. As approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Page 24 of 46

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

7.2 Director Option terms

A summary of the terms of the Director Options and the ESOP are set out in Schedule 4 and 5 respectively to this Explanatory Memorandum.

7.3 Relevant legislation - Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14

(a) 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 providing the benefit falls within a prescribed exception to the general prohibition. Relevantly, there is an exception if the company first obtains the approval of its shareholders in a general meeting in circumstances where certain requirements specified in Chapter 2E in relation to the convening of that meeting have been met ( Shareholder Approval Exception ).

A “Related Party” is defined widely in section 228 of the Corporations Act and includes, relevantly, a director (or proposed director) of a public company, any entity that controls (or is reasonably likely to control) a public company, and any entity that is controlled by a person or entity which is otherwise a Related Party, or there are reasonable grounds to believe that a person/entity is likely to become a Related Party of the public company.

Paloma Investments is an entity that is controlled by Anna Nahajski-Staples, who is a Director and Related Party of the Company. Paloma Investments is therefore a Related Party due to its association with Ms Nahajski-Staples.

A “Financial Benefit” for the purposes of the Corporations Act has a very wide meaning. It includes the public company paying money or issuing securities to the Related Party. In determining whether or not a financial benefit is being given, it is necessary to look to the economic and commercial substance and effect of what the public company is doing (rather than just the legal form). Any consideration which is given for the financial benefit is to be disregarded, even if it is full or adequate.

A copy of this Notice and the Explanatory Memorandum has been lodged with ASIC in accordance with section 218 of the Corporations Act.

(b) Listing Rule 10.14

The Company is proposing to issue the Director Options.

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • (1) ( Listing Rule 10.14.1 ) a director of the Company;

  • (2) ( Listing Rule 10.14.2 ) an associate of a director of the Company; or

  • (3) ( Listing Rule 10.14.3 ) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its Shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its Shareholders.

The issue of the Director Options falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Page 25 of 46

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Director Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options and the Director will be remunerated accordingly.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options and the Company may need to consider other forms of performance-based remuneration in that regard.

(c)

Listing Rule 7.1 - Issues exceeding 15% of capital

An explanation of the operation of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out under section 2.3 of this Explanatory Memorandum.

However, under Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14), if approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore the Director Options will not count towards the Company’s 15% Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

7.4 Shareholder approval requirement

This proposed Resolution, if passed, will confer Financial Benefits and involve the issue of Securities (namely, the Director Options) to a Related Party, being Paloma Investments. Paloma Investments is a Related Party of the Company because it is an entity that is controlled by Anna Nahajski-Staples who is a Director of the Company.

Therefore, the Company seeks to obtain Shareholder approval in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14.

As approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.14, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14) approval will not be required under Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore the Director Options will not count towards the Company’s 15% Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Therefore the Company is seeking Shareholder approval in accordance with Chapter 2E to confer a Financial Benefit to a Related Party and under Listing Rule 10.14 to issue the Director Options to Paloma Investments as an Allottee so that the Director Options do not count towards the Company’s 15% Capacity.

7.5 Information for Shareholders

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes the following information is provided to shareholders:

  • (a) The Related Parties to whom Resolution 6 would permit the Financial Benefit to be given (section 219(1)(a))

The proposed Financial Benefit will be given to Paloma Investments who is a Related Party of the Company because the entity is controlled by a Director of the Company.

  • (b) The nature of the Financial Benefit (section 219(1)(b))

The nature of the proposed Financial Benefit to be given is the issue of 1,000,000 Options to Paloma Investments which shall be issued on the terms set out in Schedule 4.

Page 26 of 46

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

(c) Directors’ recommendation (section 219(1)(c))

The Directors (with Anna Nahajski-Staples abstaining) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

The reasons for their recommendation include:

  • (1) the grant of the Director Options are intended to drive leadership and overall direction of the Company, consistent governance and oversight of the Company and its management and are awarded based on service;

  • (2) the Director Options are not intended as a substitute for salary or wages or as a means for compensation for past services rendered; and

  • (3) in the Company’s circumstances as they existed as at the date of this Explanatory Memorandum, Mr Kabunga, Mr Tighe, Mr Hodkinson and Mr Yin considered that the incentive provided a cost effective and efficient incentive as opposed to alternative forms of incentives (e.g. cash bonuses). However, it must be recognised that there will be an opportunity cost to the Company, being the price at which the Company could grant the Director Options (and resulting Shares) to a third party.

(d) Directors’ interest and other remuneration (section 219(1)(d))

Anna Nahajski-Staples has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 6, as it is proposed that the Director Options be issued to Paloma Investments, which is an entity that Ms Staples’ controls, as set out in Resolution 6.

Excluding the Director Options, Anna Nahajski-Staples and (and entities associated with her) holds 128,205 Shares. In addition, Anna Nahajski-Staples currently receives director's remuneration of $50,000 per annum from the Company for her services as Non-Executive Co-Chair of the Company.

No other Director has any interest in the outcome of Resolution 6 or any other relevant agreement.

(e) Valuation

The Director Options are not currently quoted on the ASX and as such have no readily observed market value. The Director Options each grant the holder thereof a right to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of each Director Option and payment of the exercise price of the Director Option. Accordingly, the Director Options may have a present value at the date of their grant.

The Director Options may acquire future value dependent upon the extent to which the Shares exceed the exercise price of the Director Options during the term of the Director Options.

As a general proposition, options to subscribe for ordinary fully paid shares in a company have value. Various factors impact upon the value of options including things such as:

  • (1) the period outstanding before the expiry date of the options;

  • (2) the exercise price of the options relative to the underlying price or value of the securities into which they may be converted;

  • (3) the proportion of the issued capital as expanded consequent upon exercise represented by the shares issued upon exercise (i.e. whether or not the shares

Page 27 of 46

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

that might be acquired upon exercise of the options represent a controlling or other significant interest);

  • (4) the value of the shares into which the options may be converted; and

  • (5) whether or not the options are listed (i.e readily capable of being liquidated),

and so on.

There are various formulae which can be applied to determining the theoretical value of options (including the formula known as the Black-Scholes Model option valuation formula).

The Company has undertaken a valuation of the Director Options utilising the Black-Scholes Model, which is the most widely used and recognised model for pricing options.

Inherent in the application of the Binomial Model are a number of inputs, some of which must be assumed. The data relied upon in the valuation applying the Binomial Model was:

  • (1) an exercise price of the Director Options being $0.17;

  • (2) a market price of Shares of $0.12 being the closing price of Shares prior to 2 November 2022 (being the date the valuation was undertaken), as a proxy for the market price at the future date of issue, being the date of the Meeting to approve the issue;

  • (3) the Director Options vesting after 12 months of service with the Company;

  • (4) an expiry date of 31 May 2025 for the Director Options;

  • (5) a volatility measure of 102%;

  • (6) a risk-free interest rate of 3.29%; and

  • (7) a dividend yield of nil.

Based on the valuation, the Company has adopted an indicative value for the Director Options as follows:

Item Director Options
Underlying security spot price $0.12
Exercise price $0.17
Valuation date 2 November 2022
Commencement of vesting
period
1 October 2022
Vesting dates 1 October 2023
Vesting period (years) 1
Expiry date 31 May 2025
Life of the Options (years) 2.6
Volatility 102%
Risk-free rate 3.29%

Page 28 of 46

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Dividend yield 0%
Valuation per Option $0.0639

On that basis, the value of the Director Options to be issued pursuant to Resolution 6 is $63,900.

  • (f) Any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision and that is known to the Company or any of its Directors (section 219(1)(e) and 219(2))

There is no other information known to the Company or any of its Directors save and except as follows:

Market Price movements:

The option valuation noted above is based on a market price of the Shares at the time of the valuation dated 2 November 2022 of $0.12. There is a possibility that the market price of the Shares on the date of issue of the Director Options will be different to this and that the market price of the Shares will change up to the date of the Meeting.

Examples of the effect on the valuation per option of movements in the market price of the Shares is set out below:

Market Price Valuation per option
$0.10 $0.0492
$0.14 $0.0791

Trading history

In the 12 months prior to 1 November 2022, the Company’s trading history is as follows:

  • (1) the highest trading price was $0.31 on 21 February 2022;

  • (2) the lowest trading price was $0.07 on 23 June 2022; and

  • (3) the VWAP per Share over the 12 month period prior to 1 November 2022 was $0.174.

The trading price of the Shares on the close of trading on 4 November 2022 was $0.11.

Opportunity costs

The opportunity costs and benefits foregone by the Company issuing the Director Options is the potentially dilutionary impact on the issued share capital of the Company (in the event that the Director Options are exercised). To the extent that the dilutionary impact caused by the issue of the Director Options will be detrimental to the Company, this is considered to be more than offset by the advantages accruing from the Company securing the services of an experienced and skilled Chairman on appropriate incentive terms.

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Taxation consequences

No stamp duty will be payable in respect of the grant of the Director Options. No GST will be payable by the Company in respect of the grant of the Director Options (or if it is then it will be recoverable as an input credit).AASB 2 “Share Based Payments” requires that these payments shall be measured at the more readily determinable fair value of the equity instrument. Under the accounting standards this amount will be expensed in the statement of financial performance. Where the grant date and the vesting date are different the total expenditure calculated will be allocated between the two dates taking into account the terms and conditions attached to the instruments and the counterparties as well as management’s assumptions about probabilities of payments and compliance with and attainment of the set out terms and conditions.

Dilutionary effect

The effect of the issue of the Director Options, assuming that none of the existing options on issue in the Company have been exercised, is summarised at paragraph 7.5(e) above.

Schedule 5 – Summary of ESOP

  1. Note that terms not otherwise defined in the Notice or Explanatory Memorandum have the meaning given to them under the ESOP (referred to below as the “Plan”)

  2. The Plan is to extend to Eligible Persons or Eligible Associate (as the case may be) of AuKing Mining Limited ACN 070 859 522 (Company) or an Associated Body Corporate of the Company as the Board may in its discretion determine.

  3. The total number of Securities which may be offered by the Company under the Plan shall not at any time exceed 5% of the Company’s total issued Shares when aggregated with the number of Securities issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made at any time during the previous three year period under:

  4. (a) an employee incentive scheme covered by ASIC CO 14/1000; or

  5. (b) an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme.

  6. The Shares are to be issued at a price determined by the Board.

  7. The Options are to be issued for no consideration.

  8. The exercise price of an Option is to be determined by the Board at its sole discretion.

  9. The Option Commencement Date will be any such date or dates with respect to the Options or tranches of Options (as the case may be) as may be determined by the Board prior to the issuance of the relevant Options.

  10. The Option Period commences on the Option Commencement Date and ends on the earlier of:

  11. (a) the expiration of such period nominated by the Board at its sole discretion at the time of the grant of the Option but being not less than two years;

  12. (b) if an Eligible Person’s employment or engagement with the Company or an Associated Body Corporate ceases because of an Uncontrollable Event, the earlier of:

    • (1) the expiry of the Option Period; or

    • (2) six months (or such other period as the Board shall, in its absolute discretion, determine) from the date on which the Eligible Person ceased that employment or engagement;

  13. (c) if an Eligible Person’s employment or engagement with the Company or an Associated Body Corporate ceases because of a Controllable Event:

    • (1) the expiry of the Option Period; or

    • (2) three months (or such other period as the Board shall, in its absolute discretion, determine) from the date on which the Eligible Person ceased that employment or engagement; or

  14. (d) the Eligible Person ceasing to be employed or engaged by the Company or an Associated Body Corporate of the Company due to fraud, dishonesty or being in material breach of their obligations to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate.

  15. Eligibility to participate is determined by the Board. Eligibility is restricted to Eligible Persons (or their Eligible Associates where applicable) of the Company or an Associated Body Corporate of the Company. The Board is entitled to determine:

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

  • (a) subject to paragraph 2, the total number of Shares and Options to be offered in any one year to Eligible Persons or Eligible Associates;

  • (b) the Eligible Persons to whom offers will be made; and

  • (c) the terms and conditions of any Shares and Options granted, subject to the Plan.

  • In respect of Options, Option holders do not participate in dividends or in bonus issues unless the Options are exercised.

  • Option holders do not have any right to participate in new issues of securities in the Company made to shareholders generally. The Company will, where required pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules, provide Option holders with notice prior to the books record date (to determine entitlements to any new issue of securities made to shareholders generally) to exercise the Options, in accordance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules.

  • In the event of a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue) made by the Company during the term of the Options the Company may adjust the exercise price for the Options in accordance with the formula in the terms of the Plan.

  • The Board has the right to vary the entitlements of Participants to take account of the effect of capital reorganisations, bonus issues or rights issues.

  • The terms of the Options shall only be changed if holders (whose votes are not to be disregarded) of Shares in the Company approve of such a change. However, the terms of the Options shall not be changed to reduce the Exercise Price, increase the number of Options or change any period for exercise of the Options.

  • The Board may impose as a condition of any offer of Shares and Options under the Plan any restrictions on the transfer or encumbrance of such Shares and Options as it determines.

  • The Board may vary the Plan.

  • The Plan is separate to and does not in any way form part of, vary or otherwise affect the rights and obligations of an Eligible Person under the terms of his or her employment or arrangement.

  • At any time from the date of an Offer until the Acceptance Date of that Offer, the Board undertakes that it shall provide information as to:

  • (a) the Current Market Price of the Shares; and

  • (b) the acquisition price of the Shares or Options offered where this is calculated by reference to a formula, as at the date of the Offer,

  • (c) to any Participant within three Business Days of a written request to the Company from that Participant to do so.

  • Any Offer made pursuant to the Plan will specify whether subdivision 83A-C of the applicable Tax Laws applies to that Offer such that any tax payable by a Participant under the Offer will be deferred to the applicable deferred taxing point described in that subdivision.

  • In the Plan:

Controllable Event means cessation of employment or engagement other than by an Uncontrollable Event.

Uncontrollable Event means:

  • (a) death, serious injury, disability or illness which renders the Eligible Person incapable of continuing their employment or engagement (or providing the services the subject of the engagement) with the Company or Associated Body Corporate;

  • (b) forced early retirement, retrenchment or redundancy; or

  • (c) such other circumstances which results in an Eligible Person leaving the employment of or ceasing their engagement with the Company or Associated Body Corporate and which the Board determines is an Uncontrollable Event.
