EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the Annual Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Annual Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s Annual Report is available on its website at http://investors.thebetmakers.com/asxannouncements/.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that, at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and Key Management Personnel of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the Annual Report. The Chair must allow a reasonable opportunity for its Shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

Under the Corporations Act, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at two consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a resolution in respect of a remuneration report vote against the adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to a vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. If a Spill Resolution is put to shareholders, all of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting each person whose election or re-election as a director of the company was approved will continue as a director of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25% of votes cast. Accordingly, a Spill Resolution is not required for this Annual General Meeting.

2.4 Proxy voting restrictions

4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR NICHOLAS CHAN

3.1 General

Article 15.6 of the Constitution requires that, if the Company has three or more Directors, one third of the Directors (or if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest but not exceeding one third) must retire at the Company's next annual general meeting. Article 15.7 of the Constitution allows a Director who retires under Article 15.6 to be eligible for re-election at that meeting. Article 15.6 of the Constitution further prescribes that the Director who has held their office as Director for the longest period of time is to retire and stand for re-election at the Meeting and, in the event that multiple persons became Directors on the same day, the Director to retire shall be determined by lot (unless otherwise agreed between themselves).

As Managing Director of the Company, Todd Buckingham is not subject to the requirements of Article 15.6 of the Constitution.

Mr Nicholas Chan was appointed to the Board on 29 October 2015. Accordingly, Mr Chan, as longest serving Director since their election, will retire as Director at the Meeting and, being eligible, will stand for re-election.

Personal particulars for Mr Chan are set out below.

3.2 Mr Nicholas Chan

Nicholas Chan has over 30 years' experience in media. He has held senior leadership and operational roles with leading Australian media companies. Mr Chan was most recently Group Chief Operating Officer ( COO ) at Seven West Media and prior to that, Chief Executive Officer ( CEO ) of Pacific Magazines, a subsidiary of Seven West Media, for 9 years.

Mr Chan joined Pacific Magazines from Text Media, where he was CEO. He held a range of senior positions at ACP Publishing including Group Publisher and COO.

Mr Chan is a former Chairman of The Magazines Publishers of Australia and CEO of Bauer Media ANZ.

3.3 Board Recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Chan) recommends that you vote in favour of this Resolution.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS

4.1 General

On 28 August 2018, the Company announced the engagement of Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited ( Canaccord ) to assist with the placement of the Shares not taken up by existing Shareholders under the Company’s accelerated non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer ( Shortfall Placement ).

In consideration for the services provided by Canaccord as lead manager and book runner for the Shortfall Placement, the Company issued to Canaccord (or its nominee) 4,000,000 Options ( Canaccord Options ) on 17 September 2018.

The Canaccord Options were issued under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity and did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Approval is now sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Canaccord Options, which, if approved, will refresh the Company’s ability to issue that number of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 in the future without seeking Shareholder approval.

4.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

Other than in respect of the exceptions prescribed under the ASX Listing Rules, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of securities that a company may issue without shareholder approval in any 12 month period to 15% of its issued securities as at the date that is 12 months prior to the issue date plus the number of:

  • shares issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • partly paid shares that become fully paid; and

  • shares issued with shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4,

in that 12-month period, less any shares cancelled in that 12-month period ( 15% Placement Capacity ).

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows for shareholders to subsequently approve an issue of securities made under the company’s 15% Placement Capacity, provided the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.

7

Under Resolution 3, Shareholders are being asked to ratify the prior issue of the Canaccord Options to Canaccord issued under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

If the issue of the Canaccord Options is ratified pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the Company’s capacity to issue that number of securities under its 15% Placement Capacity will be restored. The Directors consider it prudent to retain the flexibility and capacity to issue additional securities in accordance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1 if circumstances require.

4.3 Summary of the issue of Canaccord Options the subject of this Resolution

For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided:

  • (a) the number of Canaccord Options for which Shareholder ratification is being sought is 4,000,000 Canaccord Options issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (b) the Canaccord Options were issued to Canaccord as part consideration for services rendered in relation to the Company’s Shortfall Placement. Accordingly, the Options were issued for nil cash consideration;

  • (c) the terms of the Canaccord Options are as follows:

  • (i) exercise price of $0.125 per Canaccord Option;

  • (ii) the Canaccord Options will expire on 30 November 2020;

  • (iii) each Option is exercisable into one Share;

  • (iv) the Shares issued on the exercise of Options will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares; and

  • (v) such other terms as detailed in Annexure A;

  • (d) the Options were issued to Canaccord (or its nominee) on 17 September 2018;

  • (e) no funds were raised by the issue of the Canaccord Options as they were issued as part consideration for services rendered in relation to the Shortfall Placement. Funds received by the Company on exercise of the Canaccord Options will be used for the purposes of working capital; and

  • (f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4.4 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote in favour of this Resolution.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

5.1 General

The Company has had a long term incentive plan in place since November 2015 ( LTIP ). Since that time, the Company has exhausted the maximum allocation under the LTIP, has reviewed the terms of the LTIP as part of the Company’s broader remuneration policies and objectives and has proposed that the Company adopt a new long term incentive plan which is in the same form as the LTIP, save for a few amendments outlined below ( New LTIP ). As a result, the Board is seeking to approve the New LTIP for further purposes under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

The LTIP is the only employee incentive plan that the Company has adopted.

5.2 New LTIP

The LTIP currently provides for a maximum allocation of securities under the LTIP of 15% of the total number of Shares on issue as at the commencement date of the LTIP.

The Company considers it appropriate for the maximum allocation capacity for a rolling 3 year period under the New LTIP to be 15% of the total number of Shares on issue at the time of each offer under the New LTIP. This limit will include any Securities previously issued under the LTIP (and any other Company employee incentive scheme) within the relevant 3 year period. For the avoidance of doubt, the New LTIP will provide that the Company must not make an offer for Options or Performance Rights under the New LTIP ( Offer ) if, immediately after the Offer is made, the sum of:

  • (a) the total number of unissued Shares which may be acquired pursuant to the Offer under the New LTIP (for avoidance of doubt, unissued Shares which may be issued upon exercise or conversion of the Options or Performance Rights offered under the Offer); and

  • (b) the total number of unissued Shares over which Options have been granted or Performance Rights issued during the preceding three years under the New LTIP and any other Company employee incentive scheme (including the LTIP); and

  • (c) the total number of Shares issued on exercise or conversion of Options or Performance Rights issued during the preceding three years under the New LTIP and any other Company employee incentive scheme,

would exceed 15% of the total number of Shares on issue at the time of the Offer.

A summary of the terms of the New LTIP is set out in Annexure B. If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders, a copy of the full New LTIP will available on the Company’s website at http://investors.thebetmakers.com/.

8

5.3 Corporations Act

Shareholders are being asked to approve the New LTIP for all purposes under the Corporations Act, including but not limited to:

• Termination Benefits

Sections 200B of the Corporations Act requires shareholder approval by ordinary resolution, and in accordance with section 200E, in order to access the exemption from the prohibition on a company giving a person a benefit in connection with that person’s retirement from an office or position of employment in that company where that person is, or was in the three years prior to his or her retirement, in a managerial or executive office in that company.

The New LTIP allows the Board, in its discretion, to afford persons ceasing employment with the Company certain benefits under the New LTIP. The term “benefit” has a wide operation and may include the Board exercising its discretion to permit the exercise of Options or retention of Performance Rights granted under the New LTIP ( LTIP Benefit ).

For a section 200B benefit to be allowed, section 200E requires that this Notice provide Shareholders with either the value of the proposed benefits or, where the value of the proposed benefits cannot currently be ascertained, the manner in which the value of the proposed benefits is calculated, and the matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to, affect the calculation of the value.

In the circumstance of a possible LTIP Benefit, the value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the New LTIP cannot be determined in advance, as many of the factors that will or are likely to affect that value will not be known until the time the LTIP Benefit is decided to be awarded (if at all). The Board has not determined whether it will exercise discretion to grant any LTIP Benefits or in what circumstances it will exercise its discretion.

Specifically, the value of the LTIP Benefit will depend on a number of factors, including the Company’s share price at the time of the LTIP Benefit and the number of Securities to which the Board will apply such LTIP Benefit (if any). Shareholders should note the possible LTIP Benefit is restricted to the retention or exercise of Options or retention of Performance Rights post-cessation of employment and does not change the exercise price, or number of Plan Shares which are subject to the exercise or conversion, of the Options and Performance Rights.

• Employee Share Scheme Buy-Back

The New LTIP includes a right of the Company to buy-back Options, Performance Rights or Plan Shares issued under the New LTIP in certain circumstances. Section 257B(1) of the Corporations Act sets out the procedure for various forms of buy-back, including an ‘employee share scheme buy-back’. In order for the Company to undertake a buy-back of Options, Performance Rights or Plan Shares issued under the New LTIP (for example in situations where the Plan Shares are forfeited by participants in accordance with their terms of issue) using the employee share scheme buy-back procedure under the Corporations Act, the New LTIP must be approved by Shareholders for this purpose.

• Taking Security over Own Shares

Section 259B(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from taking security over its own shares, except as permitted by section 259B(2). Section 259B(2) of the Corporations Act states that a company may take security over shares in itself under an employee share scheme which has been approved by a resolution passed at a general meeting of the company. Under the New LTIP, the Company may do such things and enter into such arrangements with the Company's share registry, or otherwise as it considers necessary, to enforce any transfer restrictions imposed on Plan Shares, including but not limited imposing a holding lock on the Plan Shares or using an employee share trust to hold the Plan Shares during the relevant restriction period. The approval of this Resolution for the purposes of section 259B(2) of the Corporations Act will enable the Company to secure its interest in the enforcement of the transfer restrictions by effecting a holding lock over those Plan Shares until the conditions applicable to the transfer restrictions are satisfied.

5.4 ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12-month period than the company’s 15% Placement Capacity.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9(b) provides that ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to issues of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date on which the securities are issued, shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Securities under the New LTIP to eligible participants during the period up to 23 November 2021 without affecting the Company’s ability to separately issue under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity (without having to obtain further Shareholder approval). The Board believes this will provide the Company with the flexibility necessary to raise additional capital under its 15% Placement Capacity as and when appropriate and provide long term incentives to its current and future staff.

The following further information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9(b):

  • a summary of the terms of the New LTIP is set out in Annexure B;

9

  • 9,954,681 Securities have been issued to, or for the benefit of eligible, participants under the LTIP since its adoption in November 2015; and

  • a voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 4 is set out in the Notice.

5.5 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote in favour of this Resolution.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

6.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue equity securities (which term has the meaning given to it in the ASX Listing Rules) to up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after its annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the capacity to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without shareholder approval.

If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the number of equity securities the Company may issue under its 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 6.2 below). This Resolution is a Special Resolution.

6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The ASX Listing Rules provide that an entity that satisfies both of the following tests may seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A:

  • (a) the entity is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) the entity’s market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) is not greater than $300,000,000.

The Company is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation, as at 3 October 2018, of approximately $14.8 million.

Any equity securities issued in reliance of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted equity securities. The Company currently has one class of equity securities on issue which are quoted, being the Shares.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that an eligible entity which has obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12-month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or the date of agreement to issue:

  • (1) plus the number of shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (2) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • (3) plus the number of shares issued in the previous 12 months with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and

  • (4) less the number of shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

D is 10%.

E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

6.3 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.3A requires the following information to be provided in relation to Resolution 5:

6.3.1 Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity is 75% of the VWAP of equity securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded on the ASX immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at which the equity securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (b) if the equity securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.

10

6.3.2 10% placement period

The equity securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting and ceasing to be valid on the first to occur of:

  • (a) 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting; or

  • (b) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

6.3.3 Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive their pro rata interest in the Shares allotted under the issue.

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below, in the circumstances set out in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 3 October 2018 ( Closing Price ) and the number of Shares for variable A, calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the date of this notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) has increased by 50% and by 100% and the economic dilution where the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity is 50% less than the Closing Price and 100% greater than the Closing Price.

The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above has been prepared on the basis of the following assumptions:

  • (a) the Issue Price set out in the table is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 3 October 2018;

  • (b) the Company issues the maximum possible number of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity;

  • (c) no options or rights convertible into Shares are exercised;

  • (d) the Company has not issued any equity securities in the 12 months prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or which were not approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4 and that Resolution 3 of this Notice is approved by Shareholders;

  • (e) this table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (f) the issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

11

  • (b) the equity securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Shares on the date of issue or the equity securities may be issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of an asset,

both of which may affect the amount of funds raised by the issue.

Shareholders should also note that the calculations in the table do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

6.3.4 Purpose of an issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (a) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for either or both of working capital purposes or to fund growth opportunities; or

  • (b) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

6.3.5 Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The allottees of the equity securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will depend on prevailing market conditions and will be determined on a case by case basis. However, the allottees of equity securities could consist of current Shareholders, new investors or both, provided that such allottee is not a Related Party of the Company. Allottees may also include vendors of assets into the Company.

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (a) the purpose of the issue;

  • (a) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (b) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;

  • (c) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (d) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (e) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

6.3.6 Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company has previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6:

  • (a) during the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 22 November 2017, the Company issued a total of 63,408,232 equity securities (excluding issues of Shares on conversion or exercise of Performance Rights or Options) representing 30.7% of the equity securities on issue at the commencement of this 12 month period; and

  • (b) the equity securities issued in the 12 month period (excluding issues of Shares on conversion or exercise of Performance Rights or Options) are set out in the following table:

  • (e) Canaccord Options will not be quoted on ASX and will not otherwise be transferable.

  • (f) The Canaccord Options held by each holder may be exercised in whole or in part, and if exercised in part, multiples of 10,000 must be exercised on each occasion.

  • (g) A holder may exercise their Canaccord Options by lodging with the Company, before the Expiry Date:

  • (i) a written notice of exercise of Options specifying the number and class of options being exercised; and

  • (ii) a cheque or electronic funds transfer for the Exercise Price for the number of Canaccord Options being exercised,

( Exercise Notice ).

  • (h) An Exercise Notice is only effective when the Company has received the full amount of the Exercise Price in cleared funds.

  • (i) Within 20 Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice accompanied by the Exercise Price (and subject to the Company obtaining any necessary prior approvals from Shareholders or regulatory bodies for the issue of the Shares), the Company will issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Canaccord Options specified in the Exercise Notice.

  • (j) All Shares issued upon the exercise of Canaccord Options will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other Shares.

  • (k) The Company will apply for quotation of all Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Canaccord Options on ASX within 10 Business Days after the date of issue of those Shares.

  • (m) There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Canaccord Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Canaccord Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 4 Business Days after the issue is announced. This will give holders the opportunity to exercise their Canaccord Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  • (n) If, between the date of issue and the date of exercise of a Canaccord Option, the Company makes one or more rights issues (being a pro rata issue of Shares in the capital of the Company that is not a bonus issue) in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the exercise price of Canaccord Options on issue will be reduced in respect of each rights issue according to the following formula:

  • (p) Canaccord Options do not carry any dividend entitlement until they are exercised. Shares issued on exercise of Canaccord Options rank equally with other issued Shares of the Company from their date of issue.

  • (q) Other than otherwise provided in these terms, a Canaccord Option does not confer the right to a change in exercise price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the Canaccord Option can be exercised.

Bonus Issues and
Capital
Reconstructions
(a)
Change of Control
Unless the Board determines otherwise in its sole and absolute discretion, upon the
happening of a Change of Control Event, Options and Performance Rights will vest on
a pro rata basis based upon the period from the date of grant to the date of the Change
of Control Event when compared to the overall vesting period, and where the Vesting
Conditions have been satisfied.
(b)
Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares
If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing
Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of
dividend reinvestment):
(i)
the number of Plan Shares which must be issued on the exercise of an
Option/Performance Right will be increased by the number of Plan Shares which
the Holder would have received if the Holder of Options/Performance Rights had
exercised the Option/Performance Right before the record date for the bonus
issue; and
(ii)
no change will be made to the Exercise Price.
(c)
Adjustment for rights issue
If the Company makes an issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders (other than
an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the
Exercise Price of an Option will be reduced according to the formula in ASX Listing Rule
6.22 so that the Holder does not suffer any detriment as a result of the pro rata issue.
(d)
Adjustment for reorganisation
If there is any reorganisation of the Issued Capital of the Company, the number of
Options and/or Performance Rights to which each Participant is entitled, and/or the
Exercise Price of the Options (if any), will be changed in accordance with the Listing
Rules
(e)
Adjustment for fairness
The Board may (as far as possible) make whatever adjustments it deems necessary or
desirable to ensure that the consequences of that application are fair as between the
Participants and the holders of other securities in the Company subject to the Listing
Rules.

attorney to do all things necessary in their name and to give effect to the New LTIP.
Amendments
to
the LTIP

reduce the rights of any Participant in respect of the Securities granted to them prior to the date
of the amendment, other than:
(a)
an amendment introduced primarily for the purposes of:
(i)
complying with present or future applicable legislation;
(ii)
correcting any manifest error or mistake;

How to Vote on Items of Business

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Appointment of Proxy

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.

Signing Instructions for Postal Forms

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.

Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.

Attending the Meeting

Bring this form to assist registration. If a representative of a corporate securityholder or proxy is to attend the meeting you will need to provide the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. A form of the certificate may be obtained from Computershare or online at www.investorcentre.com under the help tab, "Printable Forms".
