1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 4 – ISSUE OF SECURITIES UNDER THE PLACEMENT
On 8 March 2024, the Company announced a placement to sophisticated and professional investors of 14,287,860 Shares at an issue price of $0.28 per Share ( Placement Shares ) to raise $4 million, before costs ( Placement ). Under the terms of the Placement, each investor was entitled to be issued a free attaching listed option (ASX: BRXOA) for every 2 shares issued to them under the Placement with an exercise price of $0.66 per Option and an expiry date of 13 July 2026 ( Placement Options ).
The Placement Shares were issued on 15 March 2024 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
The issue of the Placement Options is subject to Shareholder approval. A total of 7,143,930 Placement Options will be issued subject to Shareholder approval.
The Company engaged Euroz Hartley Limited (ACN 104 195 057), CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd (ACN 008 055 636) and Evolution Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 652 397 263) ( Lead Managers ) to act as joint lead managers and bookrunners to the Placement. In consideration for their services, in addition to fees on standard commercial terms, the Company has agreed to issue to the Lead Managers a total of 11 million listed option (ASX: BRXOA) with an exercise price of $0.66 per Option and an expiry date of 13 July 2026 ( Broker Options ) subject to Shareholder approval.
Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of 8,291,600 Placement Shares that were issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of 5,996,260 Placement Shares that were issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.
Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders to approve the issue of the Placement Options for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 4 seeks the approval of Shareholders to approve the issue of Broker Options for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES UNDER LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
2.1 Background
As stated in section 1 of this Explanatory Statement, the purpose of Resolutions 1 and 2 is to seek the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of Placement Shares that were issued in accordance with Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
11
8,291,600 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1) and 5,996,260 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 27 November 2023 (being the subject to Resolution 2).
2.2 Regulatory requirements
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.
As noted in section 2.1 of this Explanatory Statement, at the Company’s annual general meeting held on 27 November 2023, the Company obtained Shareholder approval for an additional 10% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any Listing Rule 7.1 exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made (provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1). If a company receives shareholder approval, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The issue of the Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
However, Resolution 1 is not dependent on Resolution 2 being passed, and Resolution 2 is not dependent on Resolution 1 being passed.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:
(a) The names of the persons to whom the entity issued or agreed to issue the securities or the basis on which those persons were identified and selected
The Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors who were identified through a bookbuild process which involved the Lead Managers seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from non-related parties of the Company. None of the investors were material investors in the
12
Company.[1]
- (b) Number of securities and class of securities issued
14,287,860 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:
-
(i) 8,291,600 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and
-
(ii) 5,996,260 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2).

2.4 Board Recommendation
The Directors believe that the ratification of issue of Placement Shares is beneficial for the Company as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 25% of the Company’s share capital under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF PLACEMENT OPTIONS UNDER LISTING RULE 7.1
3.1 Background
As stated in section 1 of the Explanatory Statement, the purpose of Resolution 3 is to seek the approval of Shareholders for the issue of the Placement Options for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

(ii). a member of the entity’s Key Management Personnel;

The issue of the Placement Options does not fit within any of the exceptions and the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval of issue of the Placement Shares.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the issue of the Placement Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Options.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Placement Options will not be issued.

5. RESOLUTION 5(A) AND RESOLUTION 5(B) – RATIFICATION OF SHARES AND OPTIONS TO 5 POINT 8 CAPITAL UNDER LISTING RULE 7.1.
5.1 Background
On 27 December 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into a corporate services advisory agreement with 5 Point 8 Capital ( Corporate Services Advisory Agreement ).
In consideration for the services provided by 5 Point 8 Capital, the Company issued the following securities to 5 Point 8 Capital on 28 December 2023:
-
(a) 1 million Shares (subject to voluntary escrow until 30 June 2025) ( 5 Point 8 Shares ) – the subject of Resolution 5(a); and
-
(b) 1 million listed options (ASX: BRXOA) with an exercise price of $0.66 per option and an expiry date of 13 July 2026 ( 5 Point 8 Options ) – the subject of Resolution 5(b),
(together, the Corporate Advisory Securities ).
The Corporate Advisory Securities were issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity.
The purpose of Resolution 5(a) is to seek the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of the 5 Point 8 Shares.
The purpose of Resolution 5(b) is to seek the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of the 5 Point 8 Options.
16
Resolution 5(a) and Resolution 5(b) are independent of one another.
5.2 Regulatory requirements
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.
Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made (provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1). If a company receives shareholder approval, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The issue of the Corporate Advisory Securities did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 5(a) is passed, the issue of the 5 Point 8 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.
If Resolution 5(a) is not passed, the issue of the 5 Point 8 Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.
If Resolution 5(b) is passed, the issue of the 5 Point 8 Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.
If Resolution 5(b) is not passed, the issue of the 5 Point 8 Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue.
Resolution 5(a) and Resolution 5(b) are independent of one another.

5.4 Board recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5(a) and Resolution 5(b).
6. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES UNDER LISTING RULE 7.1
6.1 Background
The Company is considering conducting a placement pursuant to which the Company will issue of up to 20,000,000 Shares ( Proposed Placement Shares ) (the Proposed Placement ).
Under the Proposed Placement, the Company intends to issue up to 20,000,000 Shares to unrelated parties ( Proposed Placement Participants ) at an issue price of no less than 80% of the 5-day VWAP at the time of issue, the subject of this Resolution 6.
The Proposed Placement Shares represent approximately 23.5% of the Company’s current issued share capital (assuming that only the Proposed Placement Shares are issued and no other Shares are issued).
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholders approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to issue up to 20,000,000 Proposed Placement Shares to the Proposed Placement Participants.
6.2 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue of the Proposed Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it will effectively use up part of the Company’s 25% placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A if the Company decides to proceed with the Proposed Placement. This reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12-month period following the issue of the Proposed Placement Shares.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 6 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 25% placement capacity set out in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up to 20,000,000 Proposed Placement Shares to professional and sophisticated investors.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of up to 20,000,000 Proposed Placement Shares without using its available placement capacity permitted under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The Company does not presently have sufficient placement capacity to issue all of the Proposed Placement Shares. Accordingly, if Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of all of the Placement Shares.
19
6.3 Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6:
(a) The basis on which the persons to whom the Proposed Placement Shares will be issued will be identified and selected
The Proposed Placement Shares will be issued to the Proposed Placement Participants, who will be sophisticated and institutional investors, none of whom will be a Material Investor.[5] The participants in the Proposed Placement have not been identified, but will be identified through a bookbuild process, which will involve a lead manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Proposed Placement from clients of the lead manager.
- (b) Number of securities and class of securities to be issued
A maximum of 20,000,000 Proposed Placement Shares will be issued.
- (c) Terms of the securities
The Proposed Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
-
(d) Date of issue
-
Subject to Shareholder approval being received, it is anticipated that the Proposed Placement Shares will be issued within 3 months after the date of the Meeting.
-
(e) Issue price or other consideration
The Proposed Placement Shares will be issued at a price that is no less than 80% of the 5-day VWAP as at the issue date.
- (f) Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of funds raised
The proceeds from the issue of the Proposed Placement Shares are intended to be applied towards exploration activity at the TMT projects, exploration at the Australian projects and general working capital.
- (g) Relevant agreement
The Proposed Placement Shares will not be issued pursuant to any agreement.
- (h) Voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement has been provided for Resolution 6 in the Special Business section of this Notice of Meeting.
6.4 Board recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.
7. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
7.1 Background
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b), to adopt a new employee incentive plan titled the “Belararox Limited Long Term Incentive Plan” ( New Plan ), pursuant to which eligible participants may be offered the opportunity to be
-
5 ASX consider the following to be material investors:
-
(i). a related party of the entity;
-
(ii). a member of the entity’s Key Management Personnel;
(iii). a substantial holder in the entity;
-
(iv). an adviser to the entity; or
-
(v). an associate of any of the above,
where such person or entity is being issued more than 1% of the entity’s current issued capital.
20
granted performance rights, Options and Shares in the Company ( Incentive Securities ). The Company adopted its existing employee incentive plan in 2022, however the Board considers it desirable to adopt a new plan to reflect the recent changes to employee share schemes under the Corporations Act. Such changes include removing the ability to make offers of securities under an employee incentive scheme in reliance on relief in ASIC Class Orders 14/1000 and 14/1001 after 1 March 2023 ( Class Orders ). The relief available under the Class Orders have been replaced by a new regime set out in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act.
The purpose of the New Plan is to:
-
(a) reward employees of the Company;
-
(b) assist in the retention and motivation of employees of the Company;
-
(c) provide an incentive to employees of the Company to grow shareholder value by providing them with an opportunity to receive an ownership interest in the Company; and
-
(d) comply with the recent changes to employee share schemes as set out in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act.
7.2 Regulatory requirements
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, unless an exception applies, a company must not, without prior approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities if the Equity Securities will in themselves, or when aggregated with the Equity Securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.
Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b) sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that issues of securities under an employee incentive scheme are not included in a company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, if within three years before the date of issue, shareholders have approved the issue of securities thereunder as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Accordingly, Resolution 7 seeks approval from Shareholders for adoption of the New Plan and the issue of Incentive Securities thereunder for a period of three years from the date of the Meeting, as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Incentive Securities under the New Plan to eligible participants over a period of three years from the date of the Meeting without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue to up 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12-month period.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Incentive Securities under the New Plan, but the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Incentive Securities.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Incentive Securities under the New Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party, is in ASX’s opinion, such that Shareholder approval should be obtained.
7.3
Information for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b)
The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b):
- (a) A summary of the material terms of the New Plan
A summary of the material terms of the New Plan is set out in Schedule 3 to this
21
Notice.
(b) Previous issues of securities
Since the approval of the Company’s existing employee incentive scheme in 2022, the Company has issued 7,250,000 Equity Securities to various Directors under that scheme.
No Incentive Securities have previously been issued under the New Plan as it is a new incentive plan.
(c) Maximum number of securities to be issued
The maximum number of Incentive Securities proposed to be issued under the New Plan from the date of the passing of Resolution 7 until 17 May 2027 is 8,500,000 Equity Securities, excluding issues of Equity Securities approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14. This number is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of Equity Securities to be issued by the Company, simply a ceiling the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b).
The maximum number of Incentive Securities proposed to be issued under the New Plan may be increased with Shareholder approval. Any issues of Incentive Securities issued outside of the maximum number of Incentive Securities, and issued without Shareholder approval, will be issued using the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
(d) Voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 7 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.
7.4 Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
8. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF POTENTIAL TERMINATION BENEFITS UNDER THE NEW PLAN
8.1 Background
The Corporations Act contains certain limitations concerning the payment of ‘termination benefits’ to persons who hold a ‘managerial or executive office’. The Listing Rules also provides certain limitations on the payment of ‘termination benefits’ to officers of listed entities including Listing Rules 10.18 and 10.19 which will continue to apply notwithstanding Shareholders approving this Resolution 8.
As is common with employee incentive schemes, the New Plan provides the Board with the discretion to, amongst other things, determine that some or all of the Incentive Securities granted to a participant under the New Plan will not lapse in the event of that participant ceasing their engagement with the Company before such Incentive Securities have vested. This ‘accelerated vesting’ of New Plan Incentive Securities may constitute a ‘termination benefit’ prohibited under the Corporations Act, regardless of the value of such benefit, unless Shareholder approval is obtained.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Company will not be able to offer ‘termination benefits’ to persons who hold a ‘managerial or executive office’ pursuant to the terms of the New Plan.
8.2 Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act
Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with them ceasing to hold a ‘managerial or executive office’ (as defined in the Corporations Act) if an exemption applies or if the benefit is approved by Shareholders in accordance with section 200E of the Corporations Act.
Subject to Shareholder approval being received for Resolution 7, Shareholder approval is being sought for the purposes of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act to approve the giving of benefits under the New Plan to a person by the Company in connection with that person
22
ceasing to be an officer of, or ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in, the Company (or subsidiary of the Company) on the terms and conditions in this Explanatory Memorandum.
As noted above, under the terms of the New Plan and subject to the Listing Rules, the Board possesses the discretion to vary the terms or conditions of the Incentive Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the participant in the New Plan, no amendment may be made to the terms of any granted Incentive Security which reduces the rights of the participant in respect of that Incentive Security, other than an amendment introduced primarily to comply with legislation, to correct any manifest error or mistake or to take into consideration possible adverse tax implications.
As a result of the above discretion, the Board has the power to determine that some or all of a participant’s Incentive Securities will not lapse in the event of the participant ceasing employment or office before the vesting of their Incentive Securities.
The exercise of this discretion by the Board may constitute a ‘benefit’ for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act. The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval for the exercise of the Board’s discretion in respect of any current or future participant in the New Plan who holds:
-
(a) a managerial or executive office in, or is an officer of, the Company (or subsidiary of the Company) at the time of their leaving or at any time in the three years prior to their leaving; and
-
(b) Incentive Securities at the time of their leaving.
8.3 Valuation of the termination benefits
Provided Shareholder approval is given, the value of the termination benefits may be disregarded when applying section 200F(2)(b) or section 200G(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (i.e. the approved benefit will not count towards the statutory cap under the legislation).
The value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the New Plan cannot be determined in advance. This is because various matters will or are likely to affect that value. In particular, the value of a particular benefit will depend on factors such as the Company’s Share price at the time of vesting and the number of Incentive Securities that will vest or otherwise be affected. The following additional factors may also affect the benefit’s value:
-
(a) the participant’s length of service and the status of the vesting conditions attaching to the relevant Incentive Securities at the time the participant’s employment or office ceases; and
-
(b) the number of unvested Incentive Securities that the participant holds at the time they cease employment or office.
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.19, the Company will ensure that no officer of the Company or any of its child entities will, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the terminations benefits that are or may be payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the Company as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.
8.4 Board Recommendation
The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 8 due to their potential personal interests in the outcome of the Resolution.

SCHEDULE 3 – MATERIAL TERMS OF THE NEW PLAN
The material terms of the New Plan, under which eligible persons may be granted performance rights, Options and Shares ( Awards ) are summarised below:
-
(a) ( Eligibility ): The Board may, in its absolute discretion, invite an “Eligible Person” to participate in the New Plan. An “Eligible Person” means a person that is a “primary participant” (as that term is defined in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act) in relation to the Company or an associated body corporate and has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the New Plan from time to time.
-
(b) ( Offer ): Following determination that an Eligible Person may participate in the New Plan, the Board may make an offer to that person by an offer letter setting out the terms of the offer and any Conditions which may apply to the offer or the Awards ( Offer Letter ).
-
(c) ( Issue cap ): Unless the Company is unlisted or the Company constitution provides otherwise, the Company must not make an offer of Awards for monetary consideration under the New Plan, where the total number of Shares to be issued under the New Plan ( New Plan Shares ) (or that will be issued upon conversion of convertible securities to be issued), when aggregated with the number of Plan Shares that may be issued as a result of offers made under the New Plan, at any time during the previous three year period, would exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer.
The New Plan does not contain an issue cap on the number of Awards that may be issued for no monetary consideration.
-
(d) ( Disclosure ): All offers of Awards under the New Plan for no monetary consideration are made pursuant to Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act and accordingly the Company will not issue a disclosure document for such an offer.
-
If the Company makes an offer to issue Awards under the New Plan for monetary consideration, the Company will comply with the disclosure requirements in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act.
-
(e) ( Nature of Awards ): Each option or performance right entitles the holder, to subscribe for, or be transferred, 1 Share. Any Shares acquired as an Award or pursuant to the exercise of an Award will rank equally with all existing Shares from the date of acquisition.
-
(f) ( Vesting ) Awards may be subject to exercise conditions, performance hurdles or vesting conditions ( Conditions ). These Conditions must be specified in the Offer Letter to Eligible Persons. In the event that a takeover bid for the Company is declared unconditional, there is a change of control in the Company, or if a merger by way of a scheme of arrangement has been approved by a court, then the Board may determine that:
-
(i) all or a percentage of unvested options will vest and become exercisable;
-
(ii) all or a percentage of performance rights will be automatically exercised; and
-
(iii) any Shares issued or transferred to a holder under the New Plan that have restrictions (on their disposal, the granting of any security interests in or over, or otherwise on dealing with), will be free from any restrictions on disposal.
-
(g) ( Exercise Period ): The period during which a vested Award may be exercised will commence when all Conditions have been satisfied, waived by the Board, or are deemed to have been satisfied under the rules of the New Plan and the Company has issued a vesting notification to the holder, and ends on the Expiry Date (as defined at (j)(iv) below).
-
(h) ( Disposal restrictions ): Awards granted under the New Plan may not be assigned, transferred, novated, encumbered with a security interest (such as a mortgage, charge, pledge, lien, encumbrance or other third party interest of any nature) over them, or otherwise disposed of by a holder, other than to a nominated party (such as an immediate family member, trustee of a trust or company) in accordance with the New Plan, unless:
-
(i) the prior consent of the Board is obtained; or
-
(ii) such assignment or transfer occurs by force of law upon the death of a holder to the holder's legal personal representative.
30
- (i) ( Cashless exercise ): Option holders may, at their election, elect to pay the exercise price for an option by setting off the exercise price against the number of Shares which they are entitled to receive upon exercise of the option ( Cashless Exercise Facility ). By using the Cashless Exercise Facility, the option holder will receive Shares to the value of the surplus after the exercise price has been set off.
If an option holder elects to use the Cashless Exercise Facility, the option holder will only be issued that number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) as are equal to the value of the difference between the exercise price otherwise payable for the options and the then market value of the Shares at the time of exercise (determined as the volume weighted average price on ASX over the five trading days prior to providing a notice of exercise).
-
(j) ( Lapse ): Unvested Awards will generally lapse on the earlier of:
-
(i) the cessation of employment, engagement or office of the holder;
-
(ii) the day the Board makes a determination that all unvested Awards and vested options of the holder will lapse because, in the opinion of the Board the holder has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or is in material breach of his or her duties or obligations to the Company;
-
(iii) if any applicable Conditions are not achieved by the relevant time;
-
(iv) if the Board determines that any applicable Conditions have not been met and cannot be met prior to the date that is 5 years from the grant date of an Award or any other date determined by the Board and as specified in the Offer ( Expiry Date ); or
-
(v) the Expiry Date.
Where a holder of Awards ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company and is not a “Bad Leaver” (as that term is defined in the New Plan), and the Awards have vested, they will remain exercisable until the Awards lapse in accordance with the New Plan rules or if they have not vested, the Board will determine as soon as reasonably practicable after the date the holder ceases to be employed or engaged, how many (if any) of those holder’s Awards will be deemed to have vested and exercisable.
Where a holder becomes a “Bad Leaver” (as that term is defined in the New Plan), all Awards, unvested or vested, will lapse on the date of the cessation of employment, engagement or office of that holder.
