The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report to be adopted must be put to the shareholders.
The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

Cadoux Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

2.2 Voting consequences
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 consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to 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 are cast in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting (“Spill Meeting”) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
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 those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors 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%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
2.4
Proxy voting restrictions
Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) or any Closely Related Party as your proxy to vote on this Resolution 1, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote . Where you do not direct such a person on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to Resolution 1.
If you appoint the Chair as your proxy, and you do not direct the Chair on how to vote on this Resolution 1, then by signing and returning the proxy form you are giving express authorisation for the Chair to vote all undirected proxies FOR Resolution 1 even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR EDMUND BABINGTON
Rule 7.3 of the Constitution requires that at each annual general meeting, one-third of directors, other than a managing director, for the time being (rounded down to the nearest whole number) shall retire from office and that a Director that so retires is eligible for re-election.
Listing Rule 14.4 provides that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or three years, whichever is the longer.
Mr Babington was appointed a director of the Company on 1 July 2014 and was last re-elected as a director on 30 November 2022. Being eligible, Mr Babington retires by rotation and seeks reelection.
Mr Babington holds a Bachelor of Law degree from the University of Western Australia and is a director of Babingtons Lawyers. He is also a member of ERLA the Australian Energy and Resources Law Association (ERLA) and is a previous Western Australian committee member of the Australian Institute of Business Brokers and of ERLA.
Mr Babington is a specialist in mining and resources law and the law relating to capital raisings, stock exchange requirements, corporate governance and compliance for public companies.
Mr Babington is Non-Executive Chair of the Company, and the Board considers that Mr Babington is an independent Director.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Babington will be re-elected to the Board as an independent Director.
Cadoux Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
9
In the event that Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Babington will not continue in this role on the Board as an independent Director and Chair. The Company may seek nominations or otherwise identify suitably qualified candidates to join the Company. As an additional consequence, this may detract from the Board and Company’s ability to execute on its strategic vision.
The Directors (apart from Mr Babington) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the reelection of Mr Babington.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – RENEWAL OF PROPORTIONAL TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
4.1 General
A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s shares.
Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, an entity may include a provision in its constitution whereby a proportional takeover bid for shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.
In accordance with section 648G(1) of the Corporations Act, such clause will cease to apply at the end of three years from the incorporation of the company, insertion of the clause or renewal of the clause (as appropriate) unless otherwise specified. When this clause ceases to apply, the constitution will be modified by omitting the clause.
A company may renew its proportional takeover approval provisions in the same manner in which a company can modify its constitution (i.e., by special resolution of shareholders).
The proportional takeover provisions contained in Schedule 3 of the Constitution are no longer operative as it has been more than three years since they were last approved by Shareholders.
This Resolution is a special resolution which will enable the Company to modify its Constitution by reinserting proportional takeover provisions into the Constitution in the form of Schedule 3. The new schedule 3 is in the same form as the existing Schedule 3 (as set out in the Company’s Constitution).
The Company is permitted to seek further Shareholder approval to renew this clause for further periods of up to three years on each occasion.
A copy of the Constitution was released to ASX on 29 November 2023 and is available for download from the Company’s ASX announcements platform.
4.2 Technical information required by section 648G(5) of the Corporations Act
| Overview | A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s shares. Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, the Company has included in the Constitution a provision whereby a proportional takeover bid for Shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of Shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act. This clause of the Constitution will cease to have effect on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption of last renewal of the clause. |
|---|---|
| Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions |
Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed. |
| Reasons for proportional |
A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. Bymakingapartial bid,a bidder can obtain |
Cadoux Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
10
| takeover provisions |
practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced. |
|---|---|
| Knowledge of any acquisition proposals |
As at the date of this Notice, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company. |
| Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions |
The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted. The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include: (a) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed; (b) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority; (c) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and (d) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid. The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include: (a) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged; (b) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and (c) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced. |
| Recommendation of the Board |
The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of adopting the proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that the proportional takeover provision in the proposed Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. |
5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% CAPACITY
5.1 General
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval form its members by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. As of the date of this Notice, the Company’s market capitalisation is $14,836,704. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
Cadoux Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
11
This Resolution seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval.
5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
A special resolution is a resolution requiring at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote at the meeting in favour of the resolution.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit in issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
5.3 Information for Shareholders as required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 4:
(a) Period for which approval is valid
An approval under Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2.
(b) Minimum price at which Equity Securities may be issued
Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be in an existing quoted class of the eligible entity's Equity Securities and issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Purposes for which funds raised may be used
Equity Securities can only be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A for a cash consideration. Funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A are intended to be used for the continued development of the Company’s current assets, the acquisition of new assets or other investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), and for general working capital.
(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted.
There is a risk that:
Cadoux Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
12
-
(i) the market price for the Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for variable “A” in the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 23 September 2025. This includes one example that assumes that "A" is double the number of Shares on issue at the time of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and that the price of Shares has fallen by 50%.

*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 Listing Rule 7.1.
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 23 September 2025.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX 23 September 2025, being $0.04.
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the additional 10% capacity.
-
The Company has not issued any securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations above 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.
Cadoux Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(e) Allocation Policy
The Company's allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the additional 10% capacity will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, a rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the additional 10% capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company and may include new investors who have not previously been Shareholders.
- (f) Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the previous 12 months
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 7 November 2024. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. in the 12 months preceding this Meeting.
- (g) Voting Exclusion Statement
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice .
6. RESOLUTIONS 5 TO 8 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS
6.1 General
These Resolutions seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to a total of 4,000,000 Options to the Company’s directors Mr Roland Hill, Mr Edmund Babington, Mr David Sargeant and Dr Sandy Chong (or their nominees) (together, the Related Parties ) comprising:
- (a) 1,000,000 Options to be issued to Mr Hill (or his nominees) pursuant to Resolution 5;
Cadoux Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
14
-
(b) 1,000,000 Options to be issued to Mr Babington (or his nominees) pursuant to Resolution 6 and subject to the passing of Resolution 3;
-
(c) 1,000,000 Options to be issued to Mr Sargeant (or his nominees) pursuant to Resolution 7; and
-
(d) 1,000,000 Options to be issued to Dr Chong (or her nominees) pursuant to Resolution 8,
on the terms and conditions set out below.
Resolutions 5 to 8 seek Shareholder approval so that the Company may grant Options to each of the Directors Messrs Babington, Hill and Sargeant and to Dr Chong. The approval to grant Options to Mr Babington (Resolution 6) is conditional on his re-election as a Director (Resolution 3).
6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Hill, Babington and Sargeant and Dr Chong are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
In respect of Resolution 5, the Directors (other than Mr Hill who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the agreement to issue the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Hill, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
In respect of Resolution 6, the Directors (other than Mr Babington who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the agreement to issue the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Babington, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
In respect of Resolution 7, the Directors (other than Mr Sargeant who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the agreement to issue the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Sargeant, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
In respect of Resolution 8, the Directors (other than Dr Chong who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue because the agreement to issue the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Dr Chong, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
6.3 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
Cadoux Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
15
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 5 to 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to the Related Parties within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 5 to 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options.
6.5 Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 5 to 8:
-
(a) the Options will be issued to the Directors, Roland Hill (Resolution 5), Edmund Babington (Resolution 6), David Sargeant (Resolution 7) and Sandy Chong (Resolution 8) or their nominees. Any nominee(s) of the recipient who receive Securities may constitute ‘associates’ for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.4;
-
(b) each of the Directors are related parties (Listing Rule 10.11.1) by virtue of being Directors; (c) the maximum number of securities the Company will issue is 4,000,000 Options being:

-
1,000,000 Options to Sandy Chong (or her nominee) (Resolution 8);
-

The Options will expire 2 years after the date of this Meeting and have no vesting criteria. The full terms of the Options are set out in Schedule 1;
-
(e) the Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of this Meeting (or a later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date;
-
(f) the Options will be issued for nil consideration. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);
-
(g) the purpose of the issue is to issue Options to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and reward their performance as Directors and provide cost effective remuneration to the Related Parties, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its
Cadoux Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

-
(ii) Mr Babington by $16,205 to $105,805;
-
(iii) Mr Sargeant by $16,205 to $66,205; and
-
(iv) Dr Chong by $16,205 to $72,205,

SCHEDULE 1
TERMS OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS (RESOLUTIONS 5 TO 8)
-
Each Option entitles the holder to one Share.
-
The Options are exercisable at any time prior to 5.00 pm Western Standard Time two (2) years after the date of the Meeting (" Expiry Date "). An Option not exercised before the Expiry Date will automatically lapse on the Expiry Date.
-
The exercise price of the Options is 140% of the volume weighted average price for the 5 days on which Shares trade prior to the date of the Meeting.
-
The Options will not be listed on ASX and may only be transferred with the consent of the Board of the Company.
-
The Company will provide to each Option holder a notice that is to be completed when exercising the Options (" Notice of Exercise "). The Options may be exercised wholly or in part by completing the Notice of Exercise and delivering it together with payment to the secretary of the Company to be received any time prior to the Expiry Date (" Exercise Date ").
-
Within 15 Business Days after the later of the following:
-
(i) the Exercise Date; and
-
(ii) when excluded information in respect to the Company (as defined in section 708A(7) of the Corporations Act) (if any) ceases to be excluded information,
but in any case no later than 20 Business Days after the Exercise Date, the Company will:
-
(iii) allot and issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Options specified in the Notice of Exercise and for which cleared funds have been received by the Company; and
-
(iv) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options.
-
Shares issued on the exercise of the Options rank equally with the then issued Shares.
-
There will be no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and the holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital which may be offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 7 business days after the issue is announced. This will give Optionholders the opportunity (where Options have vested, if applicable) to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.
-
If there is a bonus issue (" Bonus Issue ") to Shareholders, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the Bonus Issue (" Bonus Shares "). The Bonus Shares must be paid up by the Company out of profits or reserves (as the case may be) in the same manner as was applied in the Bonus Issue, and upon issue will rank equally in all respects with the other Shares on issue as at the date of issue of the Bonus Shares.
-
In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company prior to the Expiry Date, all rights of an Optionholder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Listing Rules and Corporations Act.
-
Cashless Exercise Facility
-
(i) If, at the time of exercise of Options, subject to Board approval at that time and these terms, the Optionholder may elect not to be required to provide payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Options specified in a Notice of Exercise but that on exercise of those Options the Company will issue or transfer to the Optionholder that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the then Market Value of the Shares up to the time of exercise and the Exercise Price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Options (with the number of Shares rounded down to the nearest whole Share) ( Cashless Exercise Facility ).
-
(ii) If the Option Exercise Price otherwise payable in respect of the Options being exercised is the same or higher than the Market Value of a Share at the time of exercise, then an Optionholder will not be entitled to use the Cashless Exercise Facility.
Cadoux Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement
19
