Resolution 7 – Issue of options to lead manager
Resolution 7 relates to the issue of options to SCE who has assisted the Company in undertaking the capital raising as lead manager.

Resolution 7 (if approved), will permit the Company to issue the 1,500,000 options to SCE without the issue of those options impacting on or restricting the ability of the Company to subsequently issue securities up to the 15% limit in the next 12 month period.

Resolution 9 – Approval of giving of financial benefits pursuant to the underwriting agreement and issue of shares to co-underwriters of Share Purchase Plan
Resolution 9 seeks shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the entry into an underwriting agreement with and the giving of financial benefits to the co-underwriters of the SPP, Aspac Mining Ltd and Farjoy Pty Ltd including the payment of fees, granting an indemnity and the issue of shares to the co-underwriters who are the related parties of the Company for the reasons set out in relation to Resolution 6.
Resolution 9 is conditional upon approval of Resolution 14.
The details of the proposed issued are set out below.
Background
On 28 February 2011, the Company announced it would be undertaking a SPP pursuant to which eligible shareholders can subscribe for up to $5,000 of ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.45 per share to raise up to approximately $5.0 million. Aspac Mining Ltd and Farjoy Pty Ltd (“ Underwriters ”) have agreed to fully underwrite the offer under the SPP, subject to shareholder approval. The underwriting is to be undertaken on the terms of the underwriting agreement described below.
Underwriting Agreement
The Underwriters have agreed to underwrite 50% each of the offer of shares by the Company under the SPP. The Underwriters will be required to subscribe or procure subscriptions for the shortfall within seven business days of being notified of the shortfall after close of the offer. The underwriting fee payable to the Underwriters (as to 50% each) is 4% of the total offer which the directors estimate to be no more than $202,600. The Company has agreed to pay all of the Underwriters’ costs and expenses incurred in connection with underwriting the offer, subject to prior approval being obtained by the Underwriters for material expenses. The Company has also agreed to indemnify the Underwriters for any liability arising out of the underwriting agreement except where such liability arises due to the willful default, negligence, breach of contract or breach of statutory duty by the Underwriters.
The underwriting agreement is subject to shareholder approval as set out in this Notice. If shareholder approval is not obtained, the offer will not be underwritten at all.
As part of the underwriting agreement, the Company is required to comply with all of its legal obligations with respect to the conduct of the offer and the SPP, including under the Corporations Act , ASX Listing Rules, its Constitution and all applicable class order relief. The Company is also required to comply with the agreed timetable for the offer under the SPP.
Page 16 of 32
In entering into the underwriting agreement, the Company has made a number of customary representations and warranties to the Underwriters regarding compliance with legal and financial reporting obligations and accuracy of information which it has provided to the Underwriters.
The Underwriters may terminate the underwriting agreement if the Company breaches any of its representations and warranties to the Underwriters, withdraws the SPP or changes the timetable with respect to the SPP without the approval of the Underwriters or the ASX does not grant unconditional approval (or satisfactory conditional approval) for quotation of the shares offered in the SPP. In addition, the Underwriters may also terminate the agreement if the Company commits an act of insolvency, has a judgment entered against it for a sum exceeding $100,000 or litigation is commenced against it which may result in a judgment against it for that amount or more. In relation to market conditions, the Underwriter may terminate the underwriting agreement if:
-
there is a suspension or material limitation in trading generally on ASX;
-
in the bona fide judgment of the Underwriters, the Australian equity capital market conditions or ASX trading conditions are such that they are not conducive to the successful completion of the offer or events beyond the control of the Underwriters are so material and adverse so as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer in the manner contemplated; or
-
there is a suspension in trading of the Company’s shares for more than 24 hours (without the Underwriters’ consent) or ASX delists the Company.
Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1 generally provides that a company may not issue equity securities if those 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 equity securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period unless the issue falls within one of the nominated exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 or the approval of the shareholders of the company in general meeting is obtained. Listing Rule 7.1 approval is not required under Exception 14 of Listing Rule 7.2 if shareholder approval for the issue is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11.
Listing Rule 10.11 and Section 208 of the Corporations Act
As the Underwriters are related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and section 208 of the Corporations Act.
In addition to approval for the issue of shares, the Company seeks shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the entry into the underwriting agreement and the providing of financial benefits under that agreement to Aspac Mining Ltd and Farjoy Pty Ltd as related parties which are (in addition to the shares they may be required to subscribe for):
-
payment of fees of $202,600;
-
indemnities provided by the Company to the Underwriters as summarised above; and
-
payment of expenses of the Underwriters (with prior approval of the Company required for material expenses to be incurred).
Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act require that the following information is provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval for the issue of the shares to the Underwriters of the SPP.
- The maximum numbers of shares to be issued to each related party are set out in the following table. The shares are to be issued at $0.45 each and will rank equally in all respects with the fully paid ordinary shares of the Company as quoted on the ASX:
Maximum Number of Shares
Related party
Page 17 of 32
Aspac Mining Ltd 5,627,778 Farjoy Pty Ltd 5,627,778
-
The shares will be issued within 1 month after the date of the EGM.
-
The funds raised from the issue of the shares to Underwriters are to be used for the purposes set out in relation to the SPP in the background notes to Resolution 4.
-
The Company’s historical share price information for the last twelve months is set out in the notes to Resolution 6.
-
Mr Graeme Robertson’s remuneration is set out in the notes to Resolution 6.
-
The Underwriters as related parties have the following relevant interests in the Company as at the date of this Notice, which would be altered if they were issued the shares as a result of underwriting the SPP:
| Related party | Existing Relevant Interest |
% of Issued Capital (including conversion of options held by the related party) |
Relevant Interest after Placement and underwriting SPP |
% of Issued Capital (including conversion of options held by the related party) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aspac Mining Ltd (including its associates Graeme Robertson and Ellen Teja) |
19,773,877 shares nil unlisted options |
12.50% | 34,457,210 shares nil unlisted options |
16.79% |
| Farjoy Pty Ltd | 5,809,103 shares nil unlisted options |
3.67% | 13,825,769 shares nil unlisted options |
6.74% |
-
As indicated in the table above, the relevant interest of each Underwriter will increase if they are required to subscribe for shares as part of the underwriting agreement. That will mean the proportionate interest of every other Shareholder in the Company will decrease correspondingly. However if the SPP is not underwritten, it is not certain that the Company will raise all funds it requires for the projects identified in the notes to resolution 4 above.
-
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
-
Other than the information above and otherwise in these Explanatory Notes, the Company believes that there is no other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to pass Resolution 9.
Directors Recommendation
Mr Graeme Robertson has an interest in the Resolution and therefore believes it is inappropriate to make a recommendation. The other Directors, being Mr Clive Hartz, Mr David Mason and Mr Jonathan Warrand are unanimously in favour of the issue of the shares to Aspac Mining Ltd and Farjoy Pty Ltd in order to underwrite the SPP.
Resolution 10 – Approval of employee share option plan
Page 18 of 32
Resolution 10 seeks the approval of shareholders for the adoption of the “Atomic Resources Limited Incentive Option Scheme”. Resolution 10 is put before shareholders in accordance with Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2. The object of the plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees. If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be able to issue options under the plan without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without shareholder approval in any 12 month period.
Resolution 10 includes a voting exclusion statement.
No options have been issued under an employee share option plan to date. The Company has a total of 36,177,350 options presently on issue at the date of this notice but they have not been issued under an employee share option plan.
Introduction
The plan is designed to provide eligible participants with an ownership interest in the Company and to provide additional incentives for eligible participants to increase profitability and returns to shareholders. Directors are eligible to participate in the plan, subject to required shareholder approval in respect of any options proposed to be granted under the plan. The summary of the plan is set out below. The detailed terms and conditions of the plan may be obtained free of charge by contacting the Company.
Please see Schedule 2 for a summary of the terms of the employee incentive option scheme.
Board Recommendation
The Board believes the plan will continue to contribute to the creation of long term value for shareholders through the incentives it creates for employee performance and via retention of key employees. The Board recommends that the plan be approved.
Resolutions 11 – 13 – Approval of allotment of securities to directors
Shareholder approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and section 208 of the Corporations Act for the proposed issue of unquoted options and fully paid shares to Graeme Robertson, David Mason and Jonathan Warrand (“ Participating Directors ”) because, as Directors, they are related parties of the Company.
Shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of:
-
5,500,000 options to the Participating Directors (in the amounts set out in the table below);

-
the Company acquires or enters into a joint venture relationship with an entity which results in the Company obtaining a share in a coal property
-
whichever occurs first. On vesting, the shares will rank in equal respects with all ordinary shares on issue in the Company. The Company anticipates that the vesting conditions will be satisfied before the EGM. However, if the shares have not vested by 31 December 2011, the Company will cancel the shares for no consideration, subject to shareholder approval.
-
All shares will be subject to a voluntary escrow period of 12 months.
-
Allotment of 350,000 ordinary shares to each of the Participating Directors on the following terms:

whichever is the first to occur. On vesting, the shares will rank in equal respects with all ordinary shares on issue in the Company.

However, if the shares have not vested by 31 December 2011, the Company will cancel the shares for no consideration, subject to shareholder approval.
-
All shares will be subject to a voluntary escrow period of 12 months.
While the one Director who does not have an interest in Resolutions 11-13 considers that the options and shares form part of the Participating Directors’ reasonable remuneration, the Company wishes to obtain Shareholder approval to the issue of options and shares pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act require that the following information is provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval for the issue of options to the Participating Directors.

| Jonathan Warrand | 1,000,000 | $122,900 | 1,000,000 |
-
The value of the option is calculated as at 14 March 2011 based on an amended Black and Scholes methodology. Key assumptions include assumed volatility of 50% and a risk-free rate of 5.335% per annum compounded semi-annually. The board considers the assumptions to be reasonable.
-
The options and shares will be issued within 1 month of after the date of the EGM.
-
The options will be issued for no consideration.
-
The shares are to be issued for no consideration and once vested will rank equally in all respects with the fully paid ordinary shares of the Company as quoted on the ASX. As the shares are being issued for no monetary consideration there will be no funds raised from the issue.

Relevant Interest after Placement (Tranche 1 and 2), SPP underwriting, options and shares issued pursuant to Resolutions 11-13 |

Other than the information above and otherwise in these Explanatory Notes, the Company believes that there is no other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to pass Resolutions 1113.
No Listing Rule 7.1 Approval
If shareholder approval is given to the issue to the Participating Directors under Listing Rule 10.11, approval of shareholders to issue the options and shares is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. This means that the issue of options and shares will not affect the ability of the Company to issue equity securities without shareholder approval under the 15% of capital allowed under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Board Recommendation
The Participating Directors have an interest in the Resolution and therefore believe it is inappropriate to make a recommendation. Mr Clive Hartz, is in favour of the issue of the options to the Participating Directors.

Page 24 of 32
-
to continue to develop the Tanzanian assets owned through the Tancoal Joint Venture with the National Development Corporation of Tanzania into a producing coal mine, initially supplying coal to local industry, then expanding to supply power generation and export; and
-
to expand and diversify the Company’s coal asset base to ASEAN nations and Australia by developing coal resources;
-
there are no changes to employment arrangements, further capital requirements or asset or property transfers (apart from the above) intended at the date of this Notice although it is recognised that additional employees may be required in the future as the Company’s operations expand.
The present intentions of Farjoy Pty Ltd regarding the future of the Company, if Resolution 14 is approved by Shareholders are as follows:
-
to remain a passive shareholder of the Company; and
-
there are no changes to employment arrangements, further capital requirements or asset or property transfers intended at the date of this Notice
(j) Financial and Dividend Policies of the Company

There is no immediate intention of Farjoy Pty Ltd to change the financial or dividend policies of the Company.
(k) Proposal is fair and reasonable
The Expert’s report concludes that the proposed issue of shares under Resolution 14 set out in these Explanatory Notes is fair and reasonable to non associated shareholders. You should consider the Expert’s Report in full.
Board Recommendation
Section 195 of the Corporations Act prohibits a director of a public company, who has a material person interest in a matter, from voting on or being present at the discussion of the proposal by the Board. Graeme Robertson has a material personal interest in the issue of shares to himself, Aspac Mining Ltd, Farjoy Pty Ltd and Ellen Teja.
Based on the information available, including that contained in these Explanatory Notes, all of the Directors (except for Graeme Robertson) consider that Resolution 14 is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 14.
Resolution 15 – Approval to change company name
The Company proposes to change its name to Intra Energy Corporation Limited. The Board believes that this name will better reflect the Company’s activities, as the Company focuses on coal energy projects across Africa, Asia and Australia and the uranium assets are now considered non-core. Resolution 15 seeks Shareholder approval to this change pursuant to section 157 of the Corporations Act, which provides that if a company wants to change its name it must pass a special resolution adopting a new name and lodge an application in the prescribed form with ASIC.
If Resolution 15 is passed the Company’s name will be changed to Intra Energy Corporation Limited with effect on the date on which ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration. As this resolution is a special resolution it must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the Resolution.
Page 25 of 32
Board recommendation
The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution for changing the Company’s name.
Resolution 16– Approval to modify company constitution
The Directors consider that part of the Company’s Constitution should be updated to reflect changes to the Corporations Act dealing with payment of dividends.
Section 254T of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) has recently been changed so that the payment of dividends by a company is now subject to the satisfaction of the following thresholds:
-
the company’s assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the declaration to pay the dividend is made and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend;
-
the payment of the dividend is fair and reasonable to the company’s shareholders as a whole; and
-
the payment of the dividend does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors.
The capacity of a company to pay dividends is therefore no longer dependent upon the availability of distributable profits. This change in law provides companies with greater flexibility with respect to the payment of dividends.
The proposed amendment to the Constitution will remove the existing requirement that dividends be paid out of profits and replace it with a requirement that allows Directors to pay dividends that, in their judgement, the financial position of the Company justifies in accordance with the Corporations Act. This will align the requirements of the Constitution with the amended section 254T of the Corporations Act.
A copy of the Constitution, with the proposed amendments shown in the document, is available on the Company’s website.
Board recommendation
The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution for amendment of the Constitution.
Resolution 17– Proportional Takeover Approval Provisions
Proportional Takeover Offers – Clause 36 is proposed to be renewed in the Constitution.
Resolution 17 if passed, would have the effect of renewing clause 36 of the Constitution. The clause relates to proportional takeover bids. A proportional takeover bid is a takeover offer made to all shareholders, but only in respect of a specified portion of each shareholder’s shares. The provisions do not apply to full takeover bids. Under the Corporations Act, proportional takeover approval provisions may be inserted into a company’s constitution and will expire after 3 years if not renewed. Previously, the Company’s Constitution has contained proportional takeover approval provisions.
The Corporations Act requires that the following information be provided with a notice proposing the adoption or renewal of those provisions.
Effect
If a proportional takeover bid is made, the Directors must ensure that an approval resolution is voted on by shareholders no more than 14 days before the bid period ends. The Directors will decide whether the vote is to be taken at a general meeting or by postal ballot. If the resolution is approved by simple majority, transfers of shares to the bidder will be registered provided they comply with other provisions of the Company’s Constitution. If the resolution is rejected by shareholders, then the bid will be deemed to be withdrawn and registration of any transfer of shares resulting from the bid will be prohibited. Acceptances will be returned and any contracts formed by acceptances will be rescinded.
Page 26 of 32
If the resolution is not voted on at least 14 days before the end of the bid period, then the resolution will be deemed to have been approved.
The bidder and associates cannot vote on the resolution.
Reasons for proposing a replacement clause 36
Clause 36 is proposed to be renewed in the Constitution because a proportional takeover bid may result in effective control of the Company changing hands without shareholders having the opportunity to sell all of their shares. Shareholders could be left as minority interests in the Company, with control having passed to the bidder but without payment of an adequate control premium for all shares.
The proposed provisions lessen this risk because they allow shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable and should be permitted to proceed.
No present acquisition proposals
At the date of preparation of these Explanatory Notes, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire or increase the extent of a substantial interest in the Company.
Potential advantages and disadvantages
Having the proposed provisions will enable the Directors to ascertain the view of shareholders on a proportional takeover bid. Otherwise, there is no specific advantage or disadvantage for Directors in the Company adopting the provisions in its Constitution.
Potential advantages for shareholders in adopting the provisions are:
-
shareholders will have an opportunity to determine by majority vote whether a proportional takeover bid should proceed;
-
that proportional takeover bids are likely to be structured to be more attractive to a majority of shareholders (other than the bidder and associates);
-
that there is less likelihood that shareholders could be locked in as a minority.
Possible disadvantages to shareholders in adopting the provisions are:
-
they may discourage a potential bidder from making a proportional takeover offer;
-
they may reduce the opportunity for shareholders to sell some of their shares at an attractive price to a bidder seeking to control the Company;
-
they may reduce an element of takeover speculation in the Company’s share price;
-
they may be said to add a restriction on the ability of shareholders to deal freely with their shares.
Board recommendation
The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of both Resolutions for amendment of the Constitution. In particular, they consider that the potential advantages of inclusion of the proportional takeover provisions outweigh the potential disadvantages and generally that the provisions are in the interests of shareholders.

-
Each option entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) ordinary share in the Company.
-
Application will not be made to ASX for Official Quotation of the options.
-
Options not validly exercised on or before the Final Exercise Date will automatically lapse.
-
All shares issued upon exercise of the options will rank equally in all respects with existing ordinary shares on issue in the Company on the date of allotment. The Company will apply for quotation by ASX within 3 business days of shares issued upon exercise of the options.
-
Subject to any restrictions which may be imposed by ASX, options are transferable with the Company’s consent.
-
Method of exercise:
-
a. The Company will provide to the option holder a notice to be completed when exercising the options (“ Notice ”).
-
b. Options may be exercised by the option holder completing the Notice and providing the same to the Company’s secretary so that it is received by the Company prior to the Final Exercise Date.
-
c. The Notice must state the number of options exercised and the consequent number of ordinary shares to be allotted, which number of options must be a multiple of 10,000 if only part of the option holder’s options are exercised.
-
d. The Notice must be accompanied by payment in full for the relevant number of shares being subscribed at the Exercise Price.
-
Exercise of less than all of the option holder’s options will not prevent the option holder from exercising the whole or any part of the balance of the option holder’s entitlement under the option holder’s remaining options.

-
There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the options to participate in any new share issues which may be made or offered by the Company to its shareholders from time to time prior to the Final Exercise Date unless and until the options are exercised. However, the Company will ensure that, during the Exercise Period, the record date for the purposes of determining entitlements to any new share issues will be at least the time period after such new issues are announced as prescribed by the ASX Listing Rules in order to afford the option holder an opportunity to exercise the options held by the option holder.

SCHEDULE 2

-
Under the Employee Incentive Plan ( Plan ) the Directors may offer to grant options ( Employee Options ) to any Director, officer or employee who is from time to time engaged in full-time or part-time work for the Company at the Board’s discretion ( Eligible Person ).
-
The Directors will not offer or issue Employee Options to any person if the total number of Shares the subject of the Employee Options would exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares in the Company at the time of the proposed offer or issue when aggregated together with:
-
a. The number of Shares in the same share class which would be issued if each outstanding offer or option to acquire unissued Shares in the Company made or acquired pursuant to the Plan (or any other employee or executive share scheme) was accepted or exercised; and
-
b. The number of Shares in the same class issued during the previous 5 years pursuant to the Plan or any other employee or executive share plan.
-
Notwithstanding item 2, when calculating the number of Shares which may be subject to a grant of Employee Options the following will be disregarded:
-
a. Any offer made or option acquired or Share issued as a result of an offer to a person situated outside Australia, that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act or any other offer permitted by ASIC Class Order 03/184 to be exempt; or
-
b. Shares subject to options which have lapsed.
-
Following receipt of the offer, an Eligible Person or an associate of an Eligible Person may apply for Employee Options up to the number specified in the Offer.

-
No consideration is payable by an Eligible Person to the Company in respect of the grant of an Employee Option.
-
Employee Options may not be offered to an Executive Director or his or her associates without prior Shareholder approval. Employee Options may not be offered to Non-Executive Directors under the Plan.

-
The exercise period of each Employee Option shall be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion ( Exercise Period ).

Page 29 of 32
-
Notwithstanding item 9, the Board, in their discretion, may declare the Employee Options to be free of any restrictions on exercise if the Board are of the opinion that a change of control event occurs on the commencement of a bid period (as the term is defined in the Corporations Act), at any time after a change of shareholding occurs which gives a person or an associated group of persons the ability in general meeting to replace all or a majority of the Board or at any time after the Company enters into a scheme of arrangement with its creditors of members or any class thereof pursuant to section 411 of the Corporations Act.
-
Further, and notwithstanding item 9, Employee Options may expire prior to the Expiry Date (however at all times such expiry dates are subject to the Board’s absolute discretion) in the following circumstances:
-
a. Employee Options will expire 30 days after a person or corporation:
-
i. Makes a takeover bid (as defined in the Corporations Act) to acquire any share in the Company, and the takeover bid extends to shares issued and allotted after the date of the takeover bid; or
-
ii. Becomes entitled to proceed to compulsory acquisition of the shares in the Company pursuant to section 661A of the Corporations Act.
-
-
b. Employee Options will expire 10 days after a Company convenes a meeting of shareholders of the Company in order to enter a scheme of arrangement (pursuant to the Corporations Act) which if implemented would result in a person or corporation becoming entitled to no less than 90% of all the shares of the Company, and that scheme is in fact approved; and
-
c. Employee Options, which are not already exercisable, will expire immediately:
-
i. On the Eligible Person voluntarily resigning from employment with the Company (otherwise than to take up employment with a related body corporate of the Company); and
-
ii. On the Eligible Person being dismissed from employment with the Company for wilful misconduct, repeated disobedience, incompetence, fraud or any other reason which the Directors believe is fair and reasonable to warrant the lapsing of the Employee Options.
-
-
Employee Options will not lapse where the Eligible Person ceases employment with the Company due to their death or total permanent disability (as that term is recognised by statute), retirement, redundancy or any other reason which the Directors believe is fair and reasonable to warrant the Eligible Person or their associate maintaining their right to exercise the Employee Option. However the Employee Option must then be exercised within one year.
-
All Shares issued upon the exercise of Employee Options will upon allotment rank pari passu with all existing Shares in the capital of the company. If the shares are quoted, the Company will apply for quotation by the ASX of all Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of Employee Options. However the Company will not apply for official quotation by ASX of the Employee Options.
-
Subject to the Listing Rules, an Employee Option may only be transferred or assigned by the holder of the Employee Option if the transfer is to a spouse of the holder, or to a company the majority of issued shares in which are beneficially owned by the holder or to any trust that the holder is a beneficiary.
Page 30 of 32
-
There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Employee Options, Employee Option holders will not be entitled to participate in any new issue or bonus issue of Shares which may be offered to members of the Company from time to time. However, in the event of a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or cancellation), the Employee Options will be reorganised in the manner required by the Listing Rules on a reorganisation of capital.
-
The holder of an Employee Option has no rights to dividends and no rights to vote at meetings of the company until the Employee Option is exercised.
-
The Plan will be administered by the Directors who shall have the power to determine the procedures from time to time for the administration of the Plan subject to the Plan rules.
-
Subject to the Listing Rules, the Plan may be amended, if the amendment does not (unless permitted by the Corporations Act or Listing Rules) effect a change to reduce the exercise price, increase the number of Shares to which an Eligible Person is entitled to or change the Expiry Date:
-
a. By an ordinary resolution of the members of the Company in general meeting; or
-
b. If the amendment is to comply with the Corporations Act or Listing Rules to effect technical or non-substantive amendments, by resolution of the Directors.
-
The rules of the Plan and its operation shall be governed by the laws of Western Australia.
-
The initial duration of the Plan will be for three years. However, the Plan may be terminated at any time by resolution of the Directors.
