3 Resolution 1 – Issue of Options to Mr Andrew Bottrell
3.1 General
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11, Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act (including section 208 of the Corporations Act) and for all other purposes, to issue up to 2,500,000 Options to Mr Andrew Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)) ( Bottrell Options ).
The Bottrell Options have an exercise price of $0.14 and expire two years from the date of issue. The terms and conditions of the Bottrell Options are detailed in Schedule 2.
11
The Bottrell Options will be granted as part of the remuneration package for Mr Bottrell. The Board considers that the grant of Bottrell Options is a cost effective and efficient reward for Mr Bottrell, appropriately incentivises the performance of Mr Bottrell and is consistent with the strategic goals and targets of the Company.
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is required for the issue of Equity Securities to a related party. Mr Bottrell is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The issue of the Bottrell Options does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 10.11 and is therefore conditional upon Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to Resolution 1).
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company to give a financial benefit to a related party, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of its shareholders in the manner detailed 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 detailed in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
Mr Bottrell is a related party of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act by virtue of being a Director.
The Board has determined to seek Shareholder approval of the purposes of Chapter 2E for the issue of the Bottrell Options to Mr Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)).
3.3 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 six 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 six 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 (a) to (c); or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains shareholder approval.
The issue of Bottrell Options to Mr Andrew Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)) falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 as Mr Bottrell is a related party of the Company, and does not fall within any of
12
the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Therefore, it requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 1 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 2,500,000 Options to Mr Andrew Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Bottrell Options to Mr Andrew Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)).
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Bottrell Options to Mr Andrew Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)) and may need the consider alternative arrangements to incentivise and remunerate Mr Andrew Bottrell.

4 Resolution 2 – Issue of Share Rights to Mr Andrew Bottrell
4.1 General
In accordance with Listing Rules 10.14 and 10.19, Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act (including sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act) and for all other purposes, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the grant of share rights (which may be received in lieu of up to 100% of Mr Andrew Bottrell's annual Directors’ fees for the period commencing on the date of the Meeting and ending on 30 September 2028 to Mr Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)) under the Plan ( Share Rights ).
A summary of the specific terms of the proposed grant of the Share Rights to Mr Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)) under the Plan is set out below:
-
(a) the Share Rights will be issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan (being performance rights under the terms of the Plan) except where otherwise provided below;
-
(b) Mr Bottrell may voluntarily elect to receive (or for his nominee(s) to receive) Share Rights in lieu of up to 100% of his respective annual directors’ fees, for the period commencing on the date of the Meeting and ending on 30 September 2028;
-
(c) the number of Share Rights to be granted will be calculated by dividing the dollar value voluntarily elected by Mr Bottrell by the VWAP of Shares calculated over the days on which Shares are actually traded on ASX starting on the first day of the relevant quarter and ending on the last day of the relevant quarter ( Quarterly VWAP );
-
(d) each Share Right, once vested, entitles the holder to acquire one Share and will immediately vest on the date of issue;
-
(e) the Share Rights will be subject to service-based vesting conditions. The Share Rights will vest immediately at the end of the relevant quarterly on a pro-rata basis (with a quarter being calculated as one of the ten consecutive three month periods within the period detailed in (b) above, with the exception of the first period which will commence on the date of the Meeting until 31 March 2026);
-
(f) if Mr Bottrell ceases to be a Director, the unvested Share Rights held by Mr Bottrell (or his nominee(s)) will vest on a pro-rata basis to reflect the period of service provided by Mr Bottrell during the quarter in which the cessation occurred and the balance of unvested Share Rights will lapse;
-
(g) subject to any securities trading policy or other legal restrictions then subsisting, Mr Bottrell may apply to exercise the Share Rights at any time upon vesting and before the expiry date (being 30 September 2029) by delivering a signed notice of exercise and Mr Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)) will receive by way of issue, transfer or allocation the relevant number of Shares; and
-
(h) any disposal of Shares will be subject to the Company’s securities trading policy, and other applicable legal restrictions.
Refer to Schedule 3 for a summary of the material terms of the Plan.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 2, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance
15
with the Chair's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.
4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Refer to Section 3.2 for a summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
Mr Bottrell is a Director and therefore is a related party of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.
The Board considers that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the issue of the Share Rights, as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. This is because the issue of the Share Rights are considered to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.
4.3 Section 200B of Corporations Act
The Corporations Act restricts the benefits which can be given to a person in connection with that person's or someone else's retirement from an office, or position of employment, in the Company or its related bodies corporate if the office or position is a managerial or executive office (as defined in the Corporations Act), or if the retiree held such a managerial or executive office at any time during the last three years.
In accordance with section 200B of the Corporations Act, to give a benefit in connection with a relevant person's retirement from an office, the Company must, subject to various exceptions, obtain the approval of Shareholders in the manner set out in section 200E of the Corporations Act.
The term “benefit” is open to a potentially wide interpretation and may include automatic, or accelerated, vesting of share-based payments for a person or the exercise of discretion to allow a person to maintain a benefit they would not otherwise be entitled to retain, on, or as a result of, retirement from their position of employment in a company.
Under the terms and conditions of the Share Rights (refer to Section 4.1) and the Plan (refer to Schedule 3), the Share Rights may vest after Mr Bottrell ceases to hold his position as a Director (including automatically or at the Board’s discretion) and the Board may also waive any disposal restrictions detailed above. The Board has formed the view that should either of those events occur, it may constitute a benefit in connection with Mr Bottrell's retirement from office.
The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval under section 200B of the Corporations Act in connection with the potential vesting of the Share Rights proposed to be granted to Mr Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 2.
4.4 Specific information required by section 200E of the Corporations Act
The following information in relation to Resolution 2 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of section 200E of the Corporations Act:
-
(a) The amount or value of the benefit relating to the Share Rights pursuant to Resolution 2 to be held by Mr Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)) which may arise in connection with his retirement from his managerial or executive office cannot presently be ascertained. However, the manner in which the amount or value of the potential benefits will be calculated, and the matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to affect the calculation of that amount or value include:
-
(i) the number of Share Rights held prior to ceasing engagement with the Company;
-
(ii) the outstanding conditions (if any) of vesting and exercise of the Share Rights and the number that the Board determines to (or which automatically) vest, lapse, forfeit or leave on foot;
16
-
(iii) the circumstances of, or reasons for, Mr Bottrell ceasing engagement with the Company;
-
(iv) Mr Bottrell's respective length of service with the Company;
-
(v) any other factors that the Board determines to be relevant when exercising its discretion to provide potential termination benefits to Mr Bottrell;
-
(vi) the manner in which the Board exercises its discretions;
-
(vii) the market price of the Shares on ASX at the relevant time when the amount or value of the Share Rights is determined;
-
(viii) any changes in law; and
-
(ix) the risk free rate of return in Australia and the estimated volatility of the Shares on ASX at the relevant time.
-
(b) The Company will likely calculate the value of the benefit that may be provided to Mr Bottrell at the relevant time based on the above factors.
4.5 Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit a director or an associate of any of the following persons to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of shareholders:
-
(a) a director of the company;
-
(b) an associate of a director of the company; or
-
(c) a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in (a) or (b) above is, in ASX's opinion, such that the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders.
The issue of the Share Rights to Mr Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)) falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1, as Mr Bottrell is a Director. Therefore, the proposed issue of the Share Rights to Mr Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)) requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Share Rights to Mr Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)). Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 will not be required as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14 (exception 14 under Listing Rule 7.2). Accordingly, if Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of the Share Rights (and Shares issued on exercise of the Share Rights) will not be included in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Share Rights to Mr Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)) in lieu of up to 100% of their respective director's fees. The Company will therefore be required to pay those fees in cash and may need to consider alternative forms of remuneration to compensate Mr Bottrell.
Refer to Schedule 3 for a summary of the material terms of the Plan. If Resolution 2 is passed, the Share Rights will be excluded from calculating the maximum number of Share Rights and Options issued under the Plan.
4.6 Listing Rule 10.19
Listing Rule 10.19 provides that without approval of shareholders, an entity must ensure that no officer of the entity or any of its Child Entities will be, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the termination benefits that may become payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the entity as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules ( 5% Threshold ). For the purpose of the
17
Listing Rules, termination benefits include payments, property and advantages that are receivable on termination of engagement with the Company.
Depending upon the value of the termination benefits associated with the Share Rights (see Section 4.4), based on factors including the Board exercising its discretion to allow the Share Rights to vest and/or amend the vesting conditions upon Mr Bottrell's respective cessation of engagement with the Company and the equity interests of the Company at the time such benefits may crystallise, the value of the vested and/or retained Share Rights the subject of Resolution 2 may exceed the 5% Threshold. Shareholder approval is being sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.19 in order to give the Company flexibility, in case the value of the termination benefits (whether alone or in aggregate with other termination benefits) exceeds the 5% Threshold.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to provide termination benefits to Mr Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)) which may exceed the 5% Threshold by virtue of the grant of the Share Rights and (if applicable) any future conversion of the Share Rights into Shares.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to provide termination benefits to Mr Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)) where those termination benefits along with termination benefits payable to all officers together exceed the 5% Threshold.
4.7 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15
The following information in relation to Resolution 2 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15:
-
(a) The Share Rights will be issued to Mr Bottrell (and/or his nominee(s)).
-
(b) Mr Bottrell falls within the category in Listing Rule 10.14.1 as he is a Director of the Company and any party he nominates to receive Share Rights would be expected to fall within the category in Listing Rule 10.14.2 as an associate of Mr Bottrell.
-
(c) The maximum number of Share Rights that will be granted for a relevant quarterly period, or part thereof commencing on the date of the Meeting and ending on 30 September 2028 to Mr Bottrell will be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Number of Share Rights = Relevant Fees
Quarterly VWAP
Where:
Relevant Fees means the amount of Directors' fees (up to 100% of Mr Bottrell's annual directors' fees) that Mr Bottrell has elected to receive in the form of Share Rights in that relevant quarterly period.
Quarterly VWAP means the VWAP of Shares calculated over the days on which Shares are actually traded on ASX starting on the first day of the relevant quarter and ending on the last day of the relevant quarter.
(d) Details of the current total remuneration package for Mr Bottrell is set out below (noting that the remuneration packages are subject to change from time to time):
| Director | Annual fees (inclusive of superannuation) |
Superannuation | Total1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mr Andrew Bottrell |
$72,000 | 8,640 | $80,640 |
| Note: |
- Annual remuneration payable assuming the Director is employed / appointed for the whole of the financial year. If a Director is employed or appointed for only a part of the financial year, the
18
actual remuneration paid to that Director will be a pro rata amount of the annual fees based on the period of time during the year that the Director was employed / appointed.
-
(e) Mr Bottrell has not previously been issued securities in the Company pursuant to the Plan.

-

-
(j) Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company for the period in which they are issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

The Incentive Options will be granted as part of the remuneration of Mr Trimboli, Mr Garth, Ms Letheby and Mr Mooney. The Board considers that the grant of Incentive Options is a cost effective and efficient reward for Mr Trimboli, Mr Garth, Ms Letheby and Mr Mooney, appropriately incentivises the continued performance of Mr Trimboli, Mr Garth, Ms Letheby and Mr Mooney and is consistent with the strategic goals and targets of the Company.
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is required for the issue of Equity Securities to a related party. Mr Trimboli, Mr Garth and Ms Letheby are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors and Mr Mooney is a related party of the Company by virtue of having been a Director in the past 6 months.
The issue of the Incentive Options does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 10.11 and is therefore conditional upon Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to Resolutions 3, 4, 5 and 6).
Resolutions 3, 4, 5 and 6 are ordinary resolutions.

There is no quorum of the Board capable of forming the view that an exception detailed in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies. Accordingly, the Board has determined to seek Shareholder approval pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act for Resolutions 3, 4, 5 and 6.
5.3 Listing Rule 10.11
