The Placement comprises:
-
(a) Tranche 1: an aggregate of 231,000,000 Shares ( T1 Placement Shares ) which were issued to unrelated professional and sophisticated investors ( T1 Placement Participants ) on 22 January 2026 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1; and

The Company agreed to pay a 6% cash fee for funds raised under the Placement (being approximately $120,000) and issue 25,000,000 Options on a pro rata basis to the AFSL Holders (or their nominees). The Options proposed to be issued to the AFSL Holders are subject to Shareholder approval (being the subject of Resolution 4), and on the same terms as those proposed to be issued to the Placement Participants (or their nominees).

Explanatory Memorandum
-
(a) Advance the Company’s exploration programs;
-
(b) Provide flexibility to evaluate and pursue strategic opportunities;
-
(c) Working capital; and
-
(d) Costs of the Placement.
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.4, Shareholder approval is sought to ratify the issue and allotment of the T1 Placement Shares, being issues of securities made by the Company on 22 January 2026 for which shareholder approval has not already been obtained.
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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, shareholders can give prior approval (by special resolution at an annual general meeting) to the issue of securities equivalent to an additional 10% of its fully paid ordinary issued capital over a 12 month period. Shareholders gave their approval for the issue of additional shares under Listing Rule 7.1A at the last annual general meeting of the Company before the Placement held on 29 May 2025.
Equity securities issued with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.4 do not count towards the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 or the 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without prior approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A can be treated as having been made with that approval if shareholders subsequently approve it.
If Resolution 1 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 the approval given pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and if the issue did not breach either of LR 7.1 or LR 7.1A at the time of issue) without the need to obtain further Shareholder approval (subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act). If Resolution 1 is not passed, the T1 Placement Shares will be counted, as applicable, toward the 10% limit pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A for a period not later than the Company’s next annual general meeting (due in May 2026).

3. Resolutions 2 and 3 - Issue of T2 Placement Shares and Placement Options under the Placement
3.1 Background
The Company proposes to carry out the second stage of its capital raising exercise under the Placement as detailed below.

A further maximum $1,191,500 (before costs) is to be raised by the Company as a result of the T2 Placement. The T2 Placement includes the offer, subject to obtaining shareholder approval, of free attaching options ( Placement Options ) on the basis of one option for every one Shares issued under the Placement (being a total maximum of 571,428,571 Options with an exercise price of $0.005 and expiring on 31 December 2029.
Resolutions 2 and 3 are Ordinary Resolutions and seeking Shareholder approval to the issue of T2 Placement Shares and Placement Options for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
3.2
Placement Option Terms
A summary of the terms of the Placement Options is set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum.
3.3 Listing Rule 7.1 - Issues exceeding 15% of capital
An explanation of the operation of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out under section 2.2 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
Equity Securities issued with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 do not count towards the 15% Capacity.
The T2 Placement Shares and Placement 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
16
Explanatory Memorandum
- (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 T2 Placement Shares and Placement Options so that the T2 Placement Shares and Placement Options and Equity Securities issued upon the exercise of the Placement Options do not count towards the Company’s 15% Capacity.

Explanatory Memorandum
4. Resolution 4 - Issue of AFSL Holder Options
4.1 Background
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 25,000,000 Options to the AFSL Holders (or their nominees) who assisted with completion of the Placement on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2. A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out below.
The Company proposes to issue the AFSL Holder Options to the AFSL Holders (on a pro rata basis) as partial consideration for assisting the Company to complete the Placement, more details of which are set out in this Section 2.1.
4.2 AFSL Holder Options terms
A summary of the terms of the AFSL Holder Options is set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum.
4.3 Listing Rule 7.1 - Issues exceeding 15% of capital
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.
The issue does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Equity Securities issued with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 do not count towards the 15% Capacity.
The AFSL Holder 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 AFSL Holder Options so that the AFSL Holder Options and Equity Securities issued upon the exercise of the JLM Options do not count towards the Company’s 15% Capacity.
4.4 Information for Listing Rule 7.3

Each AFSL Holder Option will be issued one Share for each Option exercised. As such, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued on the exercise of the AFSL Holder Options is 25,000,000. The Company currently has on issue 1,200,158,563 Shares (including the T1 Placement Shares). Upon the exercise of the AFSL Holder Options the Company will have 1,225,158,563 Shares on issue meaning that the AFSL Options would represent 2% of the diluted issued capital (based on the number of Shares presently on issue and without regard to the issue of any future Shares other than the AFSL Holder Options). |
| 7.3.3 | Terms of the Equity Securities | A summary of the terms of the AFSL Holder Options is set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum. Any Shares issued upon the exercise of the AFSL Holder Options shall rank pari passu with all other existing Shares on issue in the Company. |

| receive no funds from their issue. If all the AFSL Holder Options are exercised, the Company will receive $150,000, being the respective AFSL Holder Option numbers multiplied by the exercise price of the AFSL Holder Options. |
||
| 7.3.7 | Summary of the material terms of the agreement |
The AFSL Holder Options are not being issued in accordance with the usual manager mandate. The Company has simply agreed to provide that remuneration (on a pro rata basis) for the introduction of participants in the Placement. |
| 7.3.8 | Information on reverse takeover | The AFSL Holder Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover. |
| 7.3.9 | A voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting for Resolution 4. |
4.5 Summary of AFSL Mandate

-
(a) a management fee of 6% on all funds raised under the Placement by the Lead Manager; and
-
(b) a total of 25,000,000 options exercisable at $0.005 on or before 31 December 2029, to be issued subject to AuKing shareholder approval.

4.6 Outcome of voting for and against the Resolution
If Resolution 4 is passed, the issue of the AFSL Holder Options will be able to take place and will also be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, maintaining the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue of the AFSL Holder Options.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to issue the AFSL Holder Options in consideration for the services provided by the AFSL Holders in respect of the Placement and the Company will need to find another way to compensate the AFSL Holders accordingly.
4.7 Director’s recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 4.
21
Explanatory Memorandum
5. Resolution 5 – Issue of Options to Bullseye Analytics
- 5.1 Background
On 3 February 2026, the Company entered into an agreement with Bullseye Analytics Pte Ltd ( Bullseye ) for the provision of non-exclusive marketing and promotional services ( Marketing Agreement ). As consideration for the services provided pursuant to the Marketing Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue up to 310,000,000 Options ( Bullseye Options ) on the same terms as the Options being issued under the Placement and otherwise on the terms set out in Schedule 2, subject to Shareholder approval being obtained.
Bullseye is a Singapore-based digital marketing and promotional services company and has agreed (pursuant to the Marketing Agreement) to provide the following services:
-
(a) Dissemination of online marketing and information-sharing content, including summarising, interpreting, and re-publishing ASX announcement via Bullseye’s website, mailing list and social media channels;
-
(b) Creation of and production of content (including videos, graphics, and written publications) relating to the activities of the Company; and
-
(c) Execution of digital advertising and marketing services.
The Marketing Agreement has a term of 12 months from the date of signing, and is otherwise on terms considered standard for an agreement of its nature.
- 5.2 Listing Rule 7.1 - Issues exceeding 15% of capital
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.
The issue does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Equity Securities issued with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 do not count towards the 15% Capacity.
The Bullseye 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 Bullseye Options so that the Bullseye Options and Equity Securities issued upon the exercise of the Bullseye Options do not count towards the Company’s 15% Capacity. In the event of Shareholder approval not being obtained, the Company will not be able to issue the Bullseye Options and the Marketing Agreement will most likely lapse without the Company obtaining any benefit from the services of Bullseye.

6. Resolutions 6,7, and 8 – Issue of Performance Rights to Directors
6.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue an aggregate of 150,000,000 Performance Rights ( Performance Rights ) to existing Directors Peter Tighe, Paul Williams and Lincoln Ho (or their nominees) ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below. Resolutions 6,7, and 8 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Performance Rights to the Related Parties.
24
Explanatory Memorandum
6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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 Performance Rights to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Relevantly, there is an exception to Chapter 2E set out section 211 of the Corporations Act, which provides that shareholder approval is not required where a financial benefit is given to a Related Party as reasonable remuneration for the Related Party’s role as an officer or employee of the company.
Further, section 195(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a directors' meeting must not be present while the matters are being considered at the meeting or vote on the matter. However, section 195(4) of the Corporations Act provides that if there are then not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors' meeting, one or more of the directors (including those who have a material personal interest in that matter) may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.
As the Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Performance Rights proposed to be issued to the current Directors pursuant to Resolutions 7 to 9. Accordingly, the Directors have determined the Shareholders should have the opportunity to vote on the giving of the financial benefit pursuant to sections 195(4) and 208 of the Corporations Act under each of Resolutions 7 to 9.
6.3 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:
-
(a) a related party;
-
(b) 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;
-
(c) 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;
-
(d) 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 Performance Rights 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. Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
25
Explanatory Memorandum
6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to the Related Parties 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 of the Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity. If Resolutions 6, 7 and are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights.
6.5 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 6, 7 and 8 to Shareholders to allow them to assess the proposed Resolutions 7 to 9 for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

-
(g) the Performance Rights are unquoted. The Company has agreed to issue the Performance Rights to the Related Parties for the following reasons:
-
(1) the Performance Rights are unquoted; therefore, the issue of the Performance Rights has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders; and

-
(3) incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of the Related Parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.

Explanatory Memorandum
7. Resolution 9 - Issue of Acquisition Shares (Tasmanian Tin Acquisition)
7.1 Background
As announced on 29 January 2026, the Company proposes to acquire all of the issued shares in Australian-incorporated Goldtrace Exploration Pty Ltd ACN 685 554 796 ( Goldtrace ). Goldtrace is the 100% legal and beneficial owner of two exploration licence applications in north-west Tasmania that are prospective for tin mineralisation. The purchase price payable by the Company comprised the following:
-
A non-refundable deposit of $25,000, payable on signing the sale agreement ( Goldtrace Sale Agreement );
-
The issue by the Company to the holders of the shares in Goldtrace ( Goldtrace Vendors ) of 142,857,143 shares at an issue price of $0.0035 per share ( Acquisition Shares) .
Completion of the obligations under the Goldtrace Sale Agreement is condition upon:
-
The Company completing a 30 day due diligence review to its satisfaction; and
-
Shareholder approval is obtained for the Company to issue the Acquisition Shares.
Resolution 9 is an Ordinary Resolution and seeks Shareholder approval to approve the issue of the Acquisition Shares to the Goldtrace Vendors for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
7.2 Listing Rule 7.1 - Issues exceeding 15% of capital
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.
The issue does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Equity Securities issued with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 do not count towards the 15% Capacity.
The Acquisition Shares are Equity Securities under the Listing Rules.
Therefore, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Acquisition Shares to the Goldtrace Vendors so that the Acquisition Shares do not count towards the Company’s 15% Capacity.
7.3 Information for Listing Rule 7.3
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the Company provides the following information:
| Listing Rule | Information | |
|---|---|---|
| 7.3.1 | Allottees of Equity Securities | The Acquisition Shares are to be issued to the Goldtrace, none of whom are a related party of the Company. |
29
Explanatory Memorandum

None of the Goldtrace Vendors are considered to be "material investors" for the purposes of ASX Guidance Note 21, paragraph 7.4. |
||
| 7.3.2 | Number and class of Securities that will be issued |
The Company will issue a maximum of 142,857,143 Acquisition Shares to the Goldtrace Vendors. The Company currently has on issue 1,200,158,563 Shares. Upon the issue of the Acquisition Shares and the Company will have 1,343,015,706 Shares on issue meaning that the Acquisition Shares and would represent 10.6% of the diluted issued capital (based on the number of Shares presently on issue and without regard to the issue of any future Shares). |
| 7.3.3 | Terms of the Equity Securities | The Acquisition Shares shall rank pari passu with all other existing Shares on issue in the Company. |
| 7.3.4 | Date or dates on or by which the Company will issue the Securities |
The Acquisition Shares will be issued shortly after the Meeting, and, in any event, within three months of the date of the Meeting or such later date as is permitted by an ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules. |
| 7.3.5 | Price of Equity Securities | The Acquisition Shares are being issued in part consideration for the acquisition of all the issued shares in Goldtrace. |
| 7.3.6 | Purpose of issuing the Securities | The Acquisition Shares will be issued in final discharge of the Company’s obligations as part of completion of the acquisition by the Company of all the issued shares in Goldtrace, pursuant to the |
| 30 |
Explanatory Memorandum

|---|---|---|
| agreement noted in section 7.1. Accordingly, the Company will receive no funds from their issue. |
||
| 7.3.7 | Summary of the material terms of the agreement |
The Acquisition Shares and will be issued under the acquisition agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued shares in Goldtrace.

7.4 Outcome of voting for and against the Resolution
If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to issue the Acquisition Shares to the Goldtrace Vendors. In addition, the Acquisition Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, maintaining the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue of the Acquisition Shares.
If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to issue the Acquisition Shares to the Goldtrace Vendors and the Goldtrace Sale Agreement will likely not be completed.
7.5 Director’s recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 9.
8. Resolution 10 – Adoption of the Employee Awards Plan
8.1 Background
In 2022, the Company approved an “Employee Share and Option Incentive Plan” for the purpose of rewarding eligible participants for their contribution to increasing the value of the Company, to help retain and motivate eligible participants, and to align the interests of the eligible participants with the interests of shareholders ( 2022 Plan ).
Subsequent changes to the Corporations Act have meant that Class Order and relief mentioned in the 2022 Plan no longer apply to new issues of securities under that plan. As a consequence, the Company is seeking approval from Shareholders for a new plan titled “Employee Awards Plan” under this Resolution 10. A summary of the terms and conditions of the Employee Awards Plan is set out in Schedule 5 of this Explanatory Memorandum., and a copy of the Plan is available upon request from the Company.
31
Explanatory Memorandum
8.2 Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
If Resolution 10 is approved by Shareholders, it will have the effect of enabling the securities issued by the Company under the Employee Awards Plan to be automatically excluded from the formula to calculate the number of securities which the Company may issue in any 12 month period using Listing Rule 7.1 during the next three year period.
The Company advises that Shareholder approval for the Employee Awards Plan has not been previously sought from Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).
The 2022 Plan was approved by Shareholders at the 2022 AGM held on 31 May 2022. All of the securities that were subsequently issued under the 2022 Plan have since lapsed.
8.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution 10 is approved by Shareholders, the Company will issue up to a maximum of 50,000,000 equity securities under the Employee Awards Plan during the three-year period following approval (for the purposes of exception 13). For the avoidance of doubt and
unless the contrary intention appears, if the Company seeks Shareholder approval to issue securities to Directors (or their nominees) these issuances will not form part of the maximum number of securities identified above.
Therefore, the Performance Rights proposed to be issued pursuant to Resolutions 6,7 and 8 above, are in addition to the maximum 50,000,000 equity securities being sought for approval under this Resolution 10.
If this Resolution is not approved by Shareholders, the Company will still be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Company’s Employee Awards Plan to eligible participants, but any such issue of securities will not fall within an exception under Listing Rule 7.2 and therefore will utilise the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
8.4 Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 10.
9. Resolution 11 – Issue of New Placement Shares – Future Placement
9.1 Introduction
The Company is proposing to undertake a future placement to raise up to $4,000,000 through the issue of Shares ( Future Placement Shares ) at an issue price per Share that is not more than a 20% discount to the 5-day VWAP of the securities of the Company ( Future Placement ). The Future Placement Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors who will be identified by an AFSL Holder engaged by the company around the time of the Future Placement.
The purpose of the issue of the Future Placement Shares is to raise up to $4,000,000 (less issue costs) to fund ongoing exploration work on the Company’s projects, retiring debt, working capital and general balance sheet strengthening.
Resolution 11 is an Ordinary Resolution and seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Future Placement Shares, and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

Explanatory Memorandum
9.2 Listing Rule 7.1 - Issues exceeding 15% of capital
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.
The issue does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Equity Securities issued with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 do not count towards the 15% Capacity.
The Future Placement Shares are Equity Securities under the Listing Rules.
Therefore, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 to issue the Future Placement Shares so that the Future Placement Shares (if issued) do not count towards the Company’s 15% Capacity.

-
The Board may in its absolute discretion determine that an Eligible Person who otherwise would be eligible to acquire Securities under the Plan is nonetheless not eligible.
-
The total number of Securities which may be offered by the Company under the Plan for consideration in reliance on Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act shall not at any time exceed the limit prescribed by the Company’s Constitution or, where a limit has not been prescribed by the Company’s Constitution, Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act.
-
The Board may only offer to issue Securities pursuant to the Plan:
-
(a) if the Company has issued a Prospectus pursuant to which the Company offers to issue Securities pursuant to the Plan; or
-
(b) if the Company is otherwise authorised or permitted to do so pursuant to section 708 of the Corporations Act or the Division and the Offer and issue of those Securities is in accordance with that section of the Corporations Act and/or the Division.

-
(j) whether the Offer is being made in reliance on the Division; and
-
(k) any other information required by the Division or other Applicable Law.
44
Explanatory Memorandum
-
An Offer of Awards shall be in writing pursuant to an Offer Document and shall specify:
-
(a) the name and address of the Eligible Person to whom the Offer is made;
-
(b) the number and type of Awards being offered or the number of Shares which may be subscribed for in respect of an Award (or the manner in which the same shall be calculated);

-
(h) any other terms and conditions attaching to the Offer or the Awards including, without limitation, whether any restrictions contemplated in clause 22 of the Plan shall be imposed on the Awards being offered;
-
(i) whether the Offer is being made with the intention that subdivision 83A-B of the Tax Law 1997 shall apply;
-
(j) whether deferral of any taxation in accordance with subdivision 83A-C of the Tax Law 1997 is to apply to the Offer;
-
(k) whether the Offer is being made in reliance on the Division; and
-
(l) any other information required by the Division or other Applicable Law.
-
An Eligible Person who receives an Offer pursuant to the Plan may renounce the Offer in favour of the Offer being made to an Eligible Associate.
-
An Eligible Person or Eligible Associate may accept an Offer:
-
(a) by delivering to the Company the completed Acceptance Form by the Acceptance Date; and
-
(b) by paying the Issue Price (if any) applicable to the Offer in cleared funds; and
-
(c) in accordance with the instructions that accompany the Offer, or in any other way the Board determines.
-
Subject to any Performance Hurdle being satisfied or waived and the provision of a Vesting Notice in accordance with the Plan and the Offer, a Participant may at any time during the Award Period (but not after Participant Awards have lapsed and subject to clause 12.4 of the Plan) exercise all or any of the Participant Awards held by it by lodging with the Company:
-
(a) an Exercise Notice; and
-
(b) if required, payment to the Company by way of electronic transfer or such other method of payment approved by the Board for the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which Participant Awards are being exercised on a Business Day within the earlier of seven days of delivery of the Exercise Notice or the
45
Explanatory Memorandum
Business Day prior to the expiry of the Award Period, subject to any alternative date specified in the Vesting Notice.
-
As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of an Award by a Participant in accordance with clause 12.3 of the Plan, the Board shall (subject to Applicable Law, the Plan, and any applicable Offer Document) allot, issue, allocate or otherwise cause to be transferred to the Participant the applicable number of Shares in respect of which Awards have been exercised which the Participant is entitled subject to the provisions of the Constitution of the Company (at which time the exercised Award automatically lapses). If the Participant does not deliver an Exercise Notice and payment referred to clause 12.3 of the Plan in relation to an Award by the requisite date in accordance with clause 12.3(b) of the Plan, that Award will automatically lapse.
-
An Offer Document may specify that at the time of the exercise of the Awards the subject of the Offer, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Awards specified in an Exercise Notice but that on exercise of those Awards the Company will transfer or allot to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the then Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the Exercise Price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Awards (with the number of Shares rounded down to the nearest whole Share).
-
Holders of Participant Awards do not have any right to participate in new issues of Securities in the Company made to Shareholders generally. A Participant does not have any participating rights or entitlements in respect of a pro rata issue of Securities to Shareholders generally by way of bonus issue which may include but is not limited to capitalisation of reserves or distributable profits ( Bonus Issue ), except as allowed pursuant to clause 14.2(a) of the Plan.
-
If, during the Award Period of any Option or any vested but unexercised Performance Right, the Company intends to undertake a Bonus Issue, the Company shall provide each Participant with at least 3 Business Days’ notice of the Bonus Issue before the record date nominated by the Company to determine entitlements to the issue ( Record Date ).
-
A Participant shall only have participating rights or entitlements in respect of a Bonus Issue, in respect of the Options which the Participant has exercised or the Performance Rights which have been exercised prior to the Record Date and only to the extent that the Participant holds Shares in the Company prior to the Record Date.
-
Holders of Participant Options or Participant Performance Rights have no rights to dividends or other distributions and no rights to vote at meetings of the Company until the Options or Performance Rights are exercised and the resultant Shares are issued prior to the record date to determine entitlements to the dividend.
-
In the event of a pro rata issue (except a Bonus Issue) made by the Company during the Award Period of the Options or of any unexercised Performance Right (and such Performance Right has an Exercise Price above nil) the Company may adjust the Exercise Price for the Award in accordance with the formula in the terms of the Plan.
-
In addition to the rights set out in clauses 14.2 and 15 of the Plan, the Board may vary one or more of the following:
-
(a) the number of Securities to which a Participant is entitled under the Plan;
-
(b) the number of Shares to which each Participant is entitled upon exercise of Participant Options or Participant Performance Rights; or
-
(c) the Exercise Price for any Options or Performance Rights on offer (if any),
46
Explanatory Memorandum
to make such adjustments to the entitlements of Participants as the Board may regard as appropriate following any reduction or restructuring of the capital of the Company provided that:
-
(d) in the event of a reconstruction (including winding up, consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, the rights of an Award holder shall be reconstructed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reconstruction of capital at the time of a reconstruction, but with the intention that such reconstruction shall not result in any benefits being conferred on Participants which are not conferred on holders of Shares; and
-
(e) subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by the meeting of the holders of Shares approving the reconstruction of capital, in all other respects the terms for the exercise of Options and Performance Rights shall remain unchanged.
-
For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules, an Award does not confer on the Award holder any right to:
-
(a) a return of capital (whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise); or
-
(b) participate in the surplus profit or assets of the entity upon a winding up,
unless and until the Award converts into Shares pursuant to the terms of an Offer and otherwise under the Plan.
-
Where there is a Change of Control Event, any unvested or unexercised Awards will automatically vest or become exercisable (as applicable) prior to the effective date of the Change of Control Event or such earlier date as determined by the Board in its absolute discretion. Where the Board determines that a Change of Control Event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine that manner in which any or all of a Participant’s Awards will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the Change of Control Event, but does not include a discretion to lapse or forfeit unvested or unexercised Awards for less than the full Vesting Period and the Performance Hurdles applicable to such Awards. Any unvested or unexercised Awards that do not vest or are not exercisable under clauses 17.1(a) or 17.1(b) of the Plan will lapse. Notwithstanding the default treatment set out in the Plan, the Board may specify in the Offer to the Participant a particular treatment that will apply to unvested or unexercised Awards in the context of a Change of Control Event. Any issue of Shares on conversion of vested or exercised Awards shall at all times be subject to Applicable Law (including the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, and associated Listing Rules guidance).
-
Without limitation to the operation of any other rule in the Plan, the Board may, in its discretion, Offer and issue Restricted Shares and Restricted Awards upon the terms and conditions it sees fit under the Plan, including without limitation, the length of and any exceptions to such restrictions imposed. If the Board offers and issues Restricted Shares or Restricted Awards:
-
(a) Shares and Awards allotted under the Plan may not be Disposed of by a Participant at any time whilst those Shares and Awards are so restricted, except on such terms as the Board determines; and
-
(b) if the Participant Disposes of or attempts to Dispose of a Participant Share or Participant Award in breach of clause 22(a)(1) of the Plan, to the extent permitted by law, the Board shall be entitled to refuse to register any transfer of a Restricted Share or Restricted Award.
47
Explanatory Memorandum
-
The Company, each Director and any other person mentioned in the table in subsection (2) of section 1100Z in the Division ( Relevant Person ) are not liable for any loss or damage suffered by a Participant because of a contravention of a term of an Offer covered by paragraph (1)(a), (1)(b) or (1)(c) of section 1100Z of the Division (being paragraphs in relation to certain misleading or deceptive statements and omissions in the Offer Document) if the Relevant Person:
-
(a) made all enquiries (if any) that were reasonable in the circumstances and, after doing so, believed on reasonable grounds that the statement was not misleading or deceptive; or
-
(b) did not know that the statement was misleading or deceptive; or
-
(c) placed reasonable reliance on information given to the Relevant Person by:
-
(1) if the Relevant Person is a body corporate – someone other than a Director, employee or agent of the body corporate; or
-
(2) if the Relevant Person is an individual – someone other than an employee or agent of the individual,
-
-
(d) is a Relevant Person mentioned in column 2 of item 3 or 4 of the table in subsection (2) of 1100Z in the Division – the Relevant Person proves that they publicly withdrew their consent to being named in the Offer Document in that way; or
-
(e) if the contravention arose because of a new circumstance that has arisen since the Offer Document was prepared and the Relevant Person proves that they were not aware of the matter.
-
Any Offer made pursuant to the Plan shall specify whether subdivision 83A-C of the Tax Law 1997 applies to that Offer such that any tax payable by a Participant under the Offer shall be deferred to the applicable deferred taxing point described in that subdivision.
-
Subject to clause 27.2 of the Plan, the Board may by resolution amend (meaning, for the purposes of clause 27 of the Plan, amend, add to, revoke or replace) the Plan (including clause 27 of the Plan) or any of the Terms of Allotment of a Participant Share or a Participant Award.
-
The Terms of Allotment of the Plan do not:
-
(a) form part of any contract of employment, engagement or any arrangement in respect of any such employment or engagement, between an Eligible Person and Eligible Associate (when applicable) and the Company; or
-
(b) constitute a related condition or collateral arrangement to any such contract of employment or engagement,
and participation in the Plan does not in any way affect the rights and obligations of an Eligible Person under the terms of his or her employment or engagement.
