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 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.

The chair of the meeting 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

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 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.

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.

The Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Pursuant to the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

Simon Farrell, having been appointed by other Directors on 17 June 2022 in accordance with the Constitution, will retire in accordance with the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 and being eligible, seeks election from Shareholders.

7.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Farrell has a Bachelor of Commerce in the University of Western Australia and his Masters in Business Administration at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Simon has more than 40 years’ experience in both the finance and mining industries.

Mr Farrell was CEO of Consolidated Minerals, where 3 years after he left Consolidated Minerals, the new controlling entity sold the assets acquired under his management for over $A1 billion.

Simon also worked as a consultant to the Minproc Engineering group for a short period before becoming CEO of what became Coal of Africa Limited (CAL). He started CAL with a capitalisation of $3 million and grew it to a company with a market cap in excess of $A1.5 billion and departed in 2017 as Deputy Chairman.

7.3 Independence

Simon Farrell has no interests, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interest of the Company as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual security holder or other party.

If elected the Board considers Simon Farrell will be an independent Director.

7.4 Other material information

The Company conducts appropriate checks on the background and experience of candidates before their appointment to the Board. These include checks as to a person’s experience, educational qualifications, character, criminal record and bankruptcy history. The Company undertook such checks prior to the appointment of Simon Farrell.

Simon Farrell has confirmed that he considers he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Non-Executive Director of the Company and does not consider that any other commitment will interfere with his availability to perform his duties as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.

7.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 6 is passed, Simon Farrell will be re-elected to the Board as an independent Director.

In the event that Resolution 6 is not passed, Simon Farrell will not join the Board as an independent Director. 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.

7.6 Board recommendation

The Board has reviewed Simon Farrell’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that his skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the election of Simon Farrell and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

8.5 Board recommendation

The Board has reviewed Martin Buckingham’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that his skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the reelection of Martin Buckingham and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

9. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

9.1 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.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $22,542,436 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 18 October 2022).

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

For note, 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.

16

If Resolution 8 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 Resolution 8 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

9.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 8:

(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid

The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).

(b) Minimum price

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash consideration at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average 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 Equity 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 Section 7.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate

The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for:

  • (i) expenses related to the Company’s proposed listing on the AIM London Stock Exchange;

  • (ii) the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition);

17

  • (iii) continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets/or projects (funds would then be used for project, feasibility studies and ongoing project administration);

  • (iv) the development of the Company’s current business; and

  • (v) general working capital.

(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 8 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 18 October 2022.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.

*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 prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 1,502,829,043 Shares on issue.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 18 October 2022 (being $0.014).

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity 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.

18

  1. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  2. 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.

  3. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.

  4. 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%.

  5. 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:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) 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 under the 7.1A Mandate

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

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

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

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

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

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

(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 18 November 2021 ( Previous Approval ).

19

During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 28 November 2021, the Company issued 227,544,385 Shares pursuant to the Previous Approval ( Previous Issues ), which represent approximately 20.41% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 28 November 2021, which was 1,114,878,081.

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.2 during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out below.

The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.6(b) in respect of the Previous Issues:

Notes:

  1. Market Price means the closing price of Shares on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the last trading day on which a sale was recorded prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities

  2. Fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, ASX Code: CLA (terms are set out in the Constitution).

  3. This is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Notice. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.

9.3 Voting Exclusion Statement

A voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 8 of this Notice.

10. RESOLUTION 9 – ADOPTION OF EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN

10.1 General

Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Employee Securities Incentive Plan” ( Plan ) and for the issue of up to a maximum of 75,141,452 securities under the Incentive Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of securities under the Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

10.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)

As summarised in 9.1 above, and subject to a number of exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.]

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary

21

securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years from the date of the Meeting. The issue of any securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of securities stated in Section 77.3(b) below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of those securities.

10.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 9:

  • (a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 1;

  • (b) the Company has not issued any securities under the Plan as this is the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Incentive Plan;

  • (c) The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the Plan to include the new terms and conditions required by Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which replaced the previous relief provided by ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (Employee Incentive Scheme); and

  • (d) the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), is 75,141,452 securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

22

11. RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL TO VARY TERMS OF EXISTING PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

11.1 General

On 20 September 2021, CLA issued a total of 5,400,000 Tranche 3 Performance Rights under the Celsius Resources Incentive Scheme ( Incentive Scheme ) ( Performance Rights ).

The Performance Rights issued were issued with the following milestone ( Milestone ):

on the declaration of Mining Project Feasibility ("DMPF") for the MCB Project by 25 November 2022.”

The full terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are included as Schedule 2 to this Notice and a summary of the Incentive Scheme pursuant to which the Performance Rights were issued is included as Schedule 3.

Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval to extend the date by which the Milestone is required to be satisfied from 30 November 2022 to 31 March 2023, thereby varying the terms of the Performance Rights ( Variation ).

11.2 Rationale for the proposed Variation

Completion and delivery of a definitive feasibility study ( DFS ) for the MaalinoCaigutan-Biyong Copper-Gold Project ( MCB Project ) remains the key near-term deliverable in the current assessment and feasibility study stage of the Company’s operations.

Completion of the DFS has been delayed due to several external circumstances outside of the Company’s control, including the impact of COVID-19 travel restrictions on the availability of, and access to, key contractors and consultants engaged to complete the DFS. The DFS is now expected to be delivered in Q1 2023. Consequently, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to extend the date by which the Milestone is required to be satisfied from 25 November 2022 to 31 March 2023.

The Company considers that the proposed Variation is appropriate because, notwithstanding the delay caused by the above factors, the delivery of a DFS which supports robust project economics and a decision to proceed to the construction and development stages at the MCB Project will be a transformative, value-additive milestone for the Company and its Shareholders.

11.3

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 10 is passed (and subject to the waiver being granted), the date to satisfy the Milestone will be extended to 31 March 2023.

If Resolution 10 is not passed, the expiry date of the Milestone will remain unchanged, and the Company will have Performance Rights on issue with an expiry date which does not align with the Company’s current and near-term objectives and aims at the MCB Project, and the Performance Rights will lapse.

The terms and conditions of the Tranche 3 Performance Rights, as amended by the proposed Variation, are detailed in Schedule 2 . Other than the proposed Variation, the terms and conditions of the Performance Rights will remain unchanged.

23

Resolution 10 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 10.

11.4 Listing Rule 6.23.3, ASX Waiver and Listing Rule 6.23.4

Listing Rule 6.23.4 provides that a company must obtain shareholder approval to make a change to the terms of options on issue which is not prohibited under Listing Rule 6.23.3.

Listing Rule 6.23.3 prohibits a change to the terms of options which has the effect of reducing the exercise price, increasing the period for exercise or increasing the number of securities on exercise.

In addition to the Shareholder approval sought pursuant to this Notice, the ability for the Company to affect the Variation is conditional on the Company obtaining a waiver of Listing Rule 6.23.3 from the ASX. If ASX do not grant a waiver of Listing Rule 6.23.3 from the ASX, this Resolution 10 will not be put forward for approval at the Meeting.

11.5 Director recommendation

Mr Julito Sarmiento has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 10 due to the fact that he has a relevant interest in 2,000,000 Tranche 3 Performance Rights. Mr Sarmiento therefore does not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolution 10 of this Notice.

The remaining Directors other than Mr Sarmiento (being Messrs Martin Buckingham, Michael Hulmes, Jonathan Colville, Simon Farrell and Peter Hume) do not have a material person interest in the outcome of Resolution 10 due to the fact that they do not have a relevant interest in the Tranche 3 Performance Rights and it is not intended that they will acquire Tranche 3 Performance Rights in the future.

Each Director (other than Mr Sarmiento) recommends that Shareholders approve Resolution 10 as the Variation will incentivise the holders of the Performance Rights to achieve the Milestone within the new timeframe proposed by the Variation, rather than lapse without the Milestone having been achieved.

in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security other
than as expressly set out in the Plan;
(b)
is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a
meeting of the shareholders of the Company;
(c)
is not entitled to receive any dividends declared by the
Company; and
(d)
is not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares (see
Adjustment of Convertible Securities section below).
Vesting of
Convertible
Securities
Any vesting conditions which must be satisfied before Convertible
Securities can be exercised and converted to Shares will be
described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied
and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent
to the Participant by the Company informing them that the
relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the
vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities
will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt,
if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not
satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible
Security will lapse.
Exercise of
Convertible
Securities and
cashless exercise
To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a
signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of
Convertible Securities (see next paragraph below), pay the
exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any
time following vesting of the Convertible Security (if subject to
vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the
invitation or vesting notice.
An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the
Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required
to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of
Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on
exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer
or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to
the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at
the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise
be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Valuemeans, at any given date, the volume weighted
average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days
immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified
in an invitation.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that
Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules,
or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

28

Timing of issue of
Shares and
quotation of Shares
on exercise
As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible
Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be
transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the
Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute
certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities
held by that Participant.
Restrictions on
dealing with
Convertible
Securities
A holder may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over
or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been
granted to them unless otherwise determined by the Board. A
holder must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of
hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that
has been granted to them.
However, in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan
(including in the case of death or total or permanent disability of
the Participant) a Participant may deal with Convertible Securities
granted to them under the Plan with the consent of the Board.
Listing of
Convertible
Securities
A Convertible Security granted under the Plan will not be quoted
on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. The Board reserves
the right in its absolute discretion to apply for quotation of an
Option granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised
exchange.
Forfeiture of
Convertible
Securities
Convertible
Securities
will
be
forfeited
in
the
following
circumstances:
(a)
where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities
ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer
employed or their office or engagement is discontinued
with the Group), all unvested Convertible Securities will
automatically be forfeited by the Participant;
(b)
where a Participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly,
negligently, in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully
breaches their duties to the Group;
(c)
where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in
accordance with the Plan;
(d)
on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or
(e)
on the Expiry Date.
Change of control If a change of control event occurs, or the Board determines that
such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion
determine the manner in which any or all of the holder’s
Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without
limitation, in a manner that allows the holder to participate in
and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection
with the change of control event.
Adjustment of
Convertible
Securities
If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the
Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction,
return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the
rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be
changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules
applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the
reorganisation.

29

If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other
than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend
reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon
exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of as
many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if
the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of
which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible
Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue
of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
Plan Shares The Board may, from time to time, make an invitation to an Eligible
Participant to acquire Plan Shares under the Plan. The Board will
determine in its sole an absolute discretion the acquisition price (if
any) for each Plan Share which may be nil. The Plan Shares may
be subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions as
determined by the Board.
Where Plan Shares granted to a Participant are subject to
performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions, the Participant’s
Plan Shares will be subject to certain restrictions until the applicable
performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions (if any) have been
satisfied, waived by the Board or are deemed to have been
satisfied under the Rules.
Rights attaching to
Plan Shares
All Shares issued or transferred under the Plan or issued or
transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible
Security, (Plan Shares) will rank equally in all respects with the
Shares of the same class for the time being on issue except for any
rights attaching to the Shares by reference to a record date prior
to the date of the allotment or transfer of the Plan Shares. A
Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and
distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may
participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the
Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any
voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
Disposal restrictions
on Plan Shares
If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any
restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a
period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems
appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this
restriction.
For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions
under the Plan, the Participant will not:
(a)
transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a
security interest granted over that Plan Share; or
(b)
take any action or permit another person to take any
action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions
without the express written consent of the Company.
General Restrictions
on Transfer of Plan
Shares
If the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that
complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Plan
Shares issued under the Plan (including on exercise of Convertible
Securities) may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless
the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus
pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Act.

30

Restrictions are imposed by Applicable Law on dealing in Shares
by persons who possess material information likely to affect the
value of the Shares and which is not generally available. These laws
may restrict the acquisition or disposal of Shares by you during the
time the holder has such information.
Any Plan Shares issued to a holder under the Plan (including upon
exercise of Convertible Securities) shall be subject to the terms of
the Company’s Securities Trading Policy.
Buy-Back Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy-
back Securities in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Employee Share
Trust
The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee
share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding
Convertible Securities for holders under the Plan and delivering
Shares on behalf of holders upon exercise of Convertible Securities.
Maximum number
of Securities
The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which
involves monetary consideration if the number of Plan Shares that
may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities
offered under an invitation, when aggregated with the number of
Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of all invitations under
the Plan during the 3 year period ending on the day of the
invitation, will exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares at
the date of the invitation (unless the Constitution specifies a
different percentage and subject to any limits approved by
Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b).
Amendment of Plan Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time
amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without
limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have
been granted under the Plan and determine that any
amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect,
immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if
the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as
they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an
amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying
with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst
other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
Plan duration The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it.
The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan
for a fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the
Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or
suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the
Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in
writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant
are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of
a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the
manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
Income Tax
Assessment Act
The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax_
Assessment Act 1997(Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that
Act) except to the extent an invitation provides otherwise.

31

Subject to paragraph (o), upon vesting, each Performance Right will, at the election of the holder, convert into one Share.

(e) Expiry Date

The Performance Rights shall otherwise expire on or before 31 March 2023 (the Expiry Date ).

If the Milestone attached to the Performance Right has been achieved by the Expiry Date, all unconverted Performance Rights of the relevant tranche will automatically lapse at that time.

(f) Lapsing Otherwise

If the holder (or the effective holder where a nominee has been appointed) of the Performance Right’s engagement with the Company (or one of its subsidiaries) is terminated for whatever reason, any unvested Performance Rights held by that relevant holder will automatically lapse.

(g) Consideration

The Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration and no consideration will be payable upon the conversion of the Performance Rights into Shares.

(h) Share ranking

All Shares issued upon the vesting of Performance Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other Shares.

(i) Application to ASX

The Performance Rights will not be quoted on ASX. The Company must apply for the official quotation of a Share issued on conversion of a Performance Right on ASX within the time period required by the ASX Listing Rules.

32

(j) Timing of issue of Shares on conversion

Within 5 business days after date that the Performance Rights are converted, the Company will:

  • (i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Performance Rights converted;

  • (ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and

  • (iii) if admitted to the Official List of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the conversion of the Performance Rights.

If a notice delivered under (h)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 business days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.

(k) Transfer of Performance Rights

The Performance Rights are not transferable.

(l) Participation in new issues

A Performance Right does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a Performance Right) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues without exercising the Performance Right.

(m)

Reorganisation of capital

If, at any time, the issued capital of the Company is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) at the time of reorganisation.

(n) Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to the Company’s existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction, of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) no changes will be made to the Performance Rights.

(o) Dividend and voting rights

The Performance Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends.

33

(p) Change in control

Subject to paragraph (o), upon:

  • (i) a takeover bid under Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act having been made in respect of the Company and:

  • (A) having received acceptances for not less than 50% of the Company’s Shares on issue; and

  • (B) having been declared unconditional by the bidder; or

  • (ii) a Court granting orders approving a compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme of arrangement for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies,

the Performance Rights shall automatically convert into Shares, provided that if the number of Shares that would be issued upon such conversion is greater than 10% of the Company’s Shares on issue as at the date of conversion, then that number of Performance Rights that is equal to 10% of the Company’s Shares on issue as at the date of conversion under this paragraph will automatically convert into an equivalent number of Shares. The conversion will be completed on a pro rata basis across each class of Performance Rights then on issue as well as on a pro rata basis for each holder of Performance Rights. Performance Rights that are not converted into Shares under this paragraph will continue to be held by the holders on the same terms and conditions.

(q) Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares

If the conversion of a Performance Right under paragraph (c) or (o) would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:

  • (i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and

  • (ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (o)(i) within seven (7) days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.

34

(r) No rights to return of capital

A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

(s) Rights on winding up

A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.

(t) ASX Listing Rule compliance

The Board reserves the right to amend any term of the Performance Rights to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules.

(u) No other rights

A Performance Right gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms

(c)

Administration of the Plan

The Plan will be administered by the Board in accordance with the Plan rules.

(d)

Purpose

The purpose of the Plan is to:

  • (i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;

  • (ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and

  • (iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with Shareholders by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to earn rewards via an equity interest in the Company based on creating Shareholder value.

(e)

Maximum Award Allocation

Unless prior Shareholder Approval is obtained, the number of Awards which may be granted under the Plan must not at any time exceed in aggregate 10% of the total issued capital of the Company at the date of any proposed new Awards.

(f)

Eligibility, invitation and application

The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for any (or any combination) of the different types of Awards on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Awards the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part

36

If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

(g) Terms of Awards

The terms and conditions of Awards offered or granted under these Rules to each Eligible Participant will be determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion.

(h)

Grant of Awards

The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Eligible Participant the relevant number of Awards, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

(i)

Terms of Options and Performance Rights

Each Option and/or Performance Right ( Convertible Security ) represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them unless otherwise determined by the Board. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

(j)

Vesting of a Convertible Security

Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.

(k) Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise

To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Options (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Security (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice.

The Board may determine in its sole and absolute discretion that a Participant will not be required to provide payment of the exercise price of Options, but that on exercise of the Options the Company will only allot and issue or transfer that number of Plan Shares to the Participant that are equal in value to the difference between the exercise price otherwise payable in relation to the Options and the then Market Value of the Plan Shares as at the time of the exercise (with the number of Plan Shares rounded down).

37

An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

Market Value means:

  • (i) in relation to Options and Performance Rights, a value determined by application of a valuation methodology approved by the Board; and

  • (ii) in relation to Share Awards, Loan Funded Shares and Plan Shares, the 'volume weighted average market price' (as that term is defined in the Listing Rules) per Share during the previous five trading days.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

Options must be exercised in multiples of 100 unless fewer than 100 Options are held by a Participant or the Board otherwise agrees.

(l) Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities

As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.

(m) Forfeiture of Convertible Securities

Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly; committed an act which has brought the Company, the Group or any entity within the Group into disrepute, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group or where a Participant is convicted of an offence in connection with the affairs of the Group; or has a judgment entered against him or her in any civil proceedings in respect of the contravention by the Participant of his or her duties at law, in equity or under statute, in his or her capacity as an employee, consultant or officer of the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:

  • (i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and

38

  • (ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation or vesting notice.

(n)

Change of control

If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event provided that, in respect of Convertible Securities, the maximum number of Convertible Securities (that have not yet been exercised) that the Board may determine will vest and be exercisable into Shares under this Rule is that number of Convertible Securities that is equal to 10% of the Shares on issue immediately following vesting under this Rule, which as far as practicable will be allocated between holders on a pro-rata basis on the basis of their holdings of Convertible Securities on the date of determination of vesting.

(o)

Adjustment of Convertible Securities

If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

(p)

Convertible Securities participation rights

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.

(q) Share Awards

The Board may from time to time make an invitation to an Eligible Participant to acquire Share Awards under the Plan. The Board will determine in its sole and absolute discretion the acquisition price (if any) for each Share Award which may be nil. The Share Awards may be subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions as determined by the Board.

Where Share Awards granted to a Participant are subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions, the Participant's Share Awards will be subject to certain restrictions until the applicable performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions (if any) have been satisfied, waived by the Board or are deemed to have been satisfied under these Rules.

Following the issue of a vesting notification to the Participant, the Share Awards held by the Participant will no longer be subject to any restrictions and may be transferred or sold by the Participant, subject to compliance with applicable laws, the Company’s Securities Trading Policy and the terms of the Plan.

39

(r) Loan Funded Shares

The Board may from time to time make an invitation to an Eligible Participant to acquire Loan Funded Shares under the Plan. The Board will determine in its sole and absolute discretion the acquisition price (if any) for each Loan Funded Shares which may be nil. The Loan Funded Shares may be subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions as determined by the Board.

Where Loan Funded Shares granted to a Participant are subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions, the Participant's Loan Funded Shares will be subject to certain restrictions until the applicable performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions (if any) have been satisfied, waived by the Board or are deemed to have been satisfied under these Rules.

Following the issue of a vesting notification to the Participant, the Loan Funded Shares held by the Participant will no longer be subject to any restrictions and may be transferred or sold by the Participant, subject to compliance with applicable laws, the Company’s Securities Trading Policy and the terms of the Plan.

When the Company makes an Invitation to an Eligible Participant to acquire Loan Funded Shares, the Company will also offer the Eligible Participant a Loan on terms and conditions to be determined by the Board, for the amount of the acquisition price of the Loan Funded Shares, for the purposes of acquiring all or part of the Loan Funded Shares the subject of the invitation.

The loan amount may accrue interest as determined by the Board.

A Participant may repay all or part of a Loan at any time before the expiration of the Loan term, and at the expiration of the Loan term the Participant must immediately repay all of the Loan.

(s) Rights Attaching to Share Awards, Loan Funded Shares and Plan Shares

Any Share Awards, Loan Funded Shares and/or Plan Shares allotted, issued or transferred by the Company to a Participant under the Plan will rank equally with all existing Shares on and from the date of allotment, issue or transfer, including in respect of all rights and bonus issues.

A Participant will have a vested and indefeasible entitlement to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on any Share Awards, Loan Funded Shares and/or Plan Shares which, at the record date for determining entitlement to those dividends, are standing to the account of the Participant.

The Participant may also participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Share Awards, Loan Funded Shares (provided the Loan has been fully repaid) and/or Plan Shares held by the Participant.

(t) Disposal restrictions

If the invitation provides that any Share Awards, Loan Funded Shares and/or Plan Shares held by any Participants are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.

For so long as Share Awards, Loan Funded Shares and/or Plan Shares held by any Participants are subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:

40

  • (i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that security; or

  • (ii) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.

(u)

Buy-back

Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy-back Awards and/or Plan Shares in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

(v)

Compliance with applicable law

No act will be done or determination made in accordance with the Plan rules where to do so would be a breach of any applicable laws, and where any such act is done or determination made it will be considered void and to the extent possible be unwound and of no effect in respect of Awards and/or Plan Shares.

(w)

Amendment of Plan

Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Awards that have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.

(x)

Plan duration

The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.

If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Awards granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Awards may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
