Notice of Meeting

Notice is given that the Annual General Meeting of shareholders of the Company will be held at KPMG, Level 8, 235 St Georges Terrace Perth, Western Australia on Monday, 26 May 2025 commencing at 10.30 a.m. (WST). The Explanatory Statement to this Notice of Meeting provides additional information on matters to be considered at the Annual General Meeting. The Explanatory Statement and the Proxy Form each form part of this Notice of Meeting. The terms and abbreviations used in this Notice and Explanatory Statement are defined in the attached Glossary.

Voting Information

Voting Eligibility

The Directors have determined pursuant to regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations that the persons eligible to vote at the Meeting are those who are registered as Shareholders at 10.30 a.m. (WST) on Saturday, 24 May 2025.

Proxy Form

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a “proxy”) to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if you are unable to attend the Meeting in person, you are encouraged to complete and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. The completed Proxy Form must be received by no later than 10.30 a.m. (WST) on Saturday 24 May 2025. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting.

Voting by Proxy

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised that:

  • (a) Each Shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend, speak and vote at the Meeting on that Shareholder’s behalf. The proxy does not need to be a Shareholder.

  • (b) A Shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes at the Meeting may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion of votes each proxy is to exercise. If no proportion is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder’s votes.

  • (c) A Shareholder can direct its proxy to vote for, against or abstain from voting on each Resolution by marking the appropriate box on the Proxy Form. If a Shareholder has specified how a proxy is to vote on a Resolution, the proxy must cast all votes as directed. If a Shareholder has specified how a proxy is to vote on a Resolution, but the proxy does not attend the Meeting or does not vote on that Resolution, the directed proxies that are not exercised will automatically default to the Chair, who will vote the proxies as directed.

Chair as Proxy

If the Chair is to act as your proxy in relation to Resolutions 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 (whether by appointment or by default) and you have not given directions on how to vote by marking the appropriate box in the voting directions section of the Proxy Form, then you will be expressly directing and authorising the Chair to exercise your proxy and cast your vote ‘for’ Resolutions 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 (as applicable), even though each of these Resolutions are connected, directly or indirectly, with the remuneration of the KMP (including the Directors). This express authorisation is included because without it the Chair would be precluded from casting your votes on the basis that these Resolutions are connected with the remuneration of the KMP. Subject to the above requirements being met, the Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in respect of Resolutions 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 in favour of the relevant Resolution.

Corporate representatives

Any corporate Shareholder wishing to appoint a person to act as its representative at the Meeting may do so by providing that person with a:

  • letter or certificate executed in accordance with the Corporations Act authorising that person to act as the corporate Shareholder’s representative at the Meeting; or

  • copy of the resolution appointing that person as the corporate Shareholder’s representative at the Meeting, certified by a secretary or director of the corporate Shareholder.

Poll

In accordance with section 250JA of the Corporations Act, each Resolution considered at the Meeting will be conducted by a poll, rather than on a show of hands.

2.2 Qualifications

Mr Chris Banasik

Mr Banasik is a geologist with more than 30 years’ experience across multiple disciplines and commodities. He is a well-known and highly regarded mining and exploration executive. He was a founding Director of the successful WA gold producer Silver Lake Resources (ASX: SLR), where he held the key role of Director of Exploration and Geology from 2007-2014 – a period which saw Silver Lake Resources grow to be an ASX-200 company (by 2012), with a market capitalisation of over $1 billion and employing over 650 personnel.

2.4 Board Recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Banasik in relation to Resolution 2 and Mr Scarpelli in relation to Resolution 3) supports and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2 and 3.

3 RESOLUTIONS 4 & 5: ISSUE OF ZEPOS – LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

3.1 Background

Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 and for all other purposes for the issue under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan ( LTIP ) of:

  • (a) 1,454,306 Options to Mr Darren Gordon (or his nominee(s)); and

  • (b) 710,496 Options to Mr Bruno Scarpelli (or his nominee(s)).

The Company seeks the approval of Shareholders for the issue of these performance-related Options to the Executive Directors of the Company, being the Managing Director, Mr Darren Gordon, and the Company’s Brazil Country Manager, Mr Bruno Scarpelli.

The Board has determined that the incentive awards under the LTIP will take the form of Zero Exercise Price Options (also known as ZEPOs ).

The Board is proposing (subject to Shareholder approval) to issue Mr Gordon with 1,454,306 ZEPOs, representing the value of 100% of his TFR, and to issue Mr Scarpelli with 710,496 ZEPOs, representing the value of 70% of his TFR.

The ZEPOs proposed to be issued to Messrs Gordon and Scarpelli under the LTIP will in each case have a 3-year assessment period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2027 ( Assessment Period ). The number of ZEPOs to be granted to each of Messrs Gordon and Scarpelli has been determined by dividing the entitlement value (based on the relevant percentage of the Executive Director’s TFR) by the 20 Day VWAP of Shares immediately prior to 1 January 2025, which was calculated as $0.3775.

The ZEPOs are proposed to be issued as part of the remuneration arrangements of each respective Executive Director to recognise the extensive work and time commitment required to successfully develop the Jaguar Project and other projects as they arise over the next 2-3 years. The LTIP aims to support growth and Shareholder value by rewarding long term above-average performance by KMP in the pursuit of the Company’s long-term business objectives.

The following vesting criteria must be satisfied in order for the ZEPOs to vest and be capable of being exercised:

  • (a) 50% of the ZEPOs will vest based on TSR relative to a peer group of companies determined by the Board; and

  • (b) 50% of the ZEPOs will vest upon the achievement of an Absolute TSR.

In addition to the requirement to achieve the vesting conditions noted above over the 3-year assessment period, the ZEPOs will vest in the event of a Change of Control Event. The Board notes the possibility of a Change of Control Event and the likelihood of such an event resulting in the termination or redundancy of Company executives, including Executive Directors. The accelerated vesting for a change of control transaction, which may also result in significant benefit for Shareholders, provides an important attraction and retention mechanism to compensate for this risk. The Board considers that the mechanism also encourages management receptiveness to corporate transactions that could have significant benefit for Shareholders.

The terms and conditions of the ZEPOs proposed to be issued to Messrs Gordon and Scarpelli are attached as Appendix 1.

3.2 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:

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) 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;

Page 10

  • (c) 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;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 (set out above) 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 proposed issue of ZEPOs to Messrs Gordon and Scarpelli, each a Director, in each case 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.

Resolutions 4 and 5 seek the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the ZEPOs to Messrs Gordon and Scarpelli respectively under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the 1,454,306 ZEPOs to Mr Gordon.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the 1,454,306 ZEPOs to Mr Gordon and will be required to consider other means of remunerating and incentivising Mr Gordon. Alternative incentive mechanisms may take the form of cash payments which would reduce the Company’s cash reserves.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the 710,496 ZEPOs to Mr Scarpelli.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the 710,496 ZEPOs to Mr Scarpelli and will be required to consider other means of remunerating and incentivising Mr Scarpelli. Alternative incentive mechanisms may take the form of cash payments which would reduce the Company’s cash reserves.

3.3 Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13 in relation to Resolutions 4 and 5:

  • (a) The ZEPOs will be issued to Mr Darren Gordon and Mr Bruno Scarpelli (or their respective nominee(s));

  • (b) Mr Gordon and Mr Scarpelli are each a Director and are therefore each a Related Party of the Company for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.1;

  • (c) the ZEPOs to be issued will form part of an existing class of Options with nil exercise price and an expiry date of 31 December 2028. The number of ZEPOs to be issued pursuant to Resolutions 4 and 5 is 2,164,802, comprising:

  • (i) 1,454,306 ZEPOs to be issued under Resolution 4 to Mr Gordon or his nominee(s); and

  • (ii) 710,496 ZEPOs to be issued under Resolution 5 to Mr Scarpelli or his nominee(s);

  • (d) the ZEPOs are anticipated to be issued on or around 26 May 2025 and, in any event, by no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting;

  • (e) the ZEPOs will be granted for nil cash consideration;

  • (f) no funds will be raised from the issue of the ZEPOs;

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the ZEPOs is to allow the Company to reasonably incentivise its Executive Directors for the achievement of strategic objectives which will result in increased value to Shareholders whilst at the same time preserving the Company’s cash position;

  • (h) the current total remuneration packages for Mr Gordon and Mr Scarpelli are shown in the table below:

Remuneration Component Mr Gordon Mr Scarpelli
Total Fixed Remuneration (Salary & Superannuation) A$549,000 A$383,160
Short Term Incentive (STI)1 Up to 50% of TFR Up to 45% of TFR
Long Term Incentive (LTI)1 Up to 100% of TFR Up to 70% of TFR

1 cash benefits and equity securities available under the STI and LTI plans are subject to the achievement of performance objectives and may not result in the realisation of any financial benefit for the participants;

  • (i) a summary of the material terms pursuant to which the ZEPOs will be issued is set out in Appendix 1; and

Page 11

  • (j) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

3.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

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.

Resolutions 4 and 5 relate to the proposed issue of ZEPOs, which constitute giving a financial benefit. Mr Gordon and Mr Scarpelli are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required if:

  • (a) the financial benefit to be provided to the Related Party is remuneration as an officer or employee of a public company; and

  • (b) to give the remuneration would be reasonable given:

  • (i) the circumstances of the public company or entity giving the remuneration; and

  • (ii) the Related Party’s circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment).

The Directors (excluding Mr Gordon and Mr Scarpelli who have a material personal interest in Resolutions 4 and 5 respectively) have determined the proposed grant of ZEPOs to be a part of the reasonable remuneration of Mr Gordon and Mr Scarpelli (respectively), having regard to the circumstances of the Company and the respective responsibilities of Mr Gordon and Mr Scarpelli as Directors and senior executives. The proposed issue of ZEPOs is accordingly considered to fall within the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act, and Shareholder approval is therefore not sought for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

The ZEPOs to be issued to Messrs Gordon and Scarpelli (respectively) will not be quoted on the ASX and will lapse if Mr Gordon or Mr Scarpelli (as applicable) cease to be an employee of the Company or otherwise if the performance objectives attached to the ZEPOs fail to be achieved. The ZEPOs will be transferable only with the consent of the Board and will otherwise be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Appendix 1.

3.5 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Gordon, to whom Resolution 4 relates and Mr Scarpelli, to whom Resolution 5 relates), unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5.

The Chair will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5.

4 RESOLUTIONS 6 & 7 – ISSUE OF SHARES - SHORT TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

4.1 Background

The Company’s remuneration framework includes a Short-Term Incentive Plan ( STI Plan ) designed to reward executives for the achievement of annual performance targets. Whilst intended to be settled in cash, the Board retains the discretion to settle STIs with equity. The STI Plan and the annual performance objectives under the STI Plan are reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board.

The annual performance targets are based on challenging goals with a mix of both Company performance and project specific outcomes targeting the following key activities:

  • effective management of environmental conditions and safety performance;

  • community and land owner engagement in Brazil;

  • achievement of defined exploration targets for existing and new projects including achieving exploration program objectives within budget;

  • achievement of key deliverables in relation to the licensing, feasibility studies, offtake, funding and other development activities for the Jaguar Nickel Project; and

  • achievement of value adding outcome for the Jambreiro Iron Ore project.

Page 12

The maximum award payable under the STI Plan is:

  • (a) in respect of Mr Gordon, up to 50% of TFR or $274,500; and

  • (b) in respect of Mr Scarpelli, up to 45% of TFR or $172,422.

The Board will determine the award entitlement under the STI Plan by assessing the achievement of objectives after the expiry of the annual assessment period on 31 December 2025.

To the extent that the Board determines to issue securities in satisfaction of the award entitlement, the number of Shares issued will be determined based on the deemed price per Share being equal to the 20 Trading Day VWAP of Shares immediately prior to 1 January 2026.

Resolutions 6 and 7 seek Shareholder approval for the grant of Shares to Messrs Gordon and Scarpelli pursuant to the STI Plan, subject to achievement of applicable objectives and otherwise on the basis explained above.

4.2

Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • (a) 10.14.1: a director of the entity;

  • (b) 10.14.2: an associate of a director of the entity; or

  • (c) 10.14.3: a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

Any proposed issue of Shares to Messrs Gordon and Scarpelli under Resolutions 6 and 7 respectively falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with an issue of Shares under the STI Plan to Mr Gordon.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with an issue of Shares under the STI Plan to Mr Gordon and will be required to consider other means of remunerating and incentivising Mr Gordon. Alternative incentive mechanisms may take the form of cash payments which would reduce the Company’s cash reserves.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with an issue of Shares under the STI Plan to Mr Scarpelli.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with an issue of Shares under the STI Plan to Mr Scarpelli and will be required to consider other means of remunerating and incentivising Mr Scarpelli. Alternative incentive mechanisms may take the form of cash payments which would reduce the Company’s cash reserves.

4.3 Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15 in relation to Resolutions 6 and 7:

  • (a) any Shares to be issued will be issued to Mr Darren Gordon and Mr Bruno Scarpelli (or their respective nominee(s));

  • (b) Mr Gordon and Mr Scarpelli are each a Director and are therefore each a Related Party of the Company for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.1;

  • (c) the Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally with the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the formula for calculating the maximum number of Shares to be issued to each Executive Director on an annual basis is as follows:

  • (i) Part 1 – Calculation of total value of Shares

S = A – C

Where:

  • S is the maximum value of the Shares to be issued to the Executive Director;

Page 13

  • A is the Award Entitlement payable to the Executive Director under the STI Plan, as determined by the Board; and

  • C is the value of the minimum cash portion of the bonus entitlement determined by the Board; and

  • (ii) Part 2 – Calculation of total number of Shares

T = S/DP

Where:

  • T is the maximum number of Shares to be issued to each Executive Director, which is not to exceed 457,500 Shares in the case of Mr Gordon and 287,370 Shares in the case of Mr Scarpelli;

  • S is the value referred to above; and

  • DP is the deemed price per Share, which will be the VWAP for Shares traded on ASX for the 20 Trading Days immediately prior to 1 January 2026;

  • (e) the current total remuneration packages for Mr Gordon and Mr Scarpelli are shown at Section 3.3(h) above;

  • (f) neither Messrs Gordon nor Scarpelli have previously been issued securities under the STI Plan;

  • (g) the Shares are anticipated to be issued as soon as practicable after 1 January 2026 and, in any event, by no later than 3 years after the date of the Meeting;

  • (h) the Shares will be granted for nil cash consideration. The deemed issue price per Share will be as set out in Section 4.3(d) above;

  • (i) no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares;

  • (j) the purpose of the issue of the Shares is to allow the Company to reasonably incentivise its Executive Directors for the achievement of annual short term objectives which will result in increased value to Shareholders whilst at the same time preserving the Company’s cash position;

  • (k) a summary of the material terms of the STI Plan is set out in Appendix 2;

  • (l) no loan arrangements apply in relation to the acquisitions under Resolutions 6 and 7;

  • (m) details of any securities issued under the STI Plan will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to the period in which the securities have been issued, and such annual report will state that approval for the issue of the securities was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14;

  • (n) any additional persons who become entitled to participate in the STI Plan after Resolutions 6 and 7 are approved and who are not named in this Notice will not participate until Shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14; and

  • (o) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for the purpose of Resolutions 6 and 7.

Other than the information above and otherwise included in this Explanatory Statement, the Company believes there is no other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to consider Resolutions 6 and 7.

4.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 3.4 above.

Resolutions 6 and 7 relate to the proposed issue of Shares, which constitutes giving a financial benefit. Mr Gordon and Mr Scarpelli are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required if:

  • (a) the financial benefit to be provided to the Related Party is remuneration as an officer or employee of a public company; and

  • (b) to give the remuneration would be reasonable given:

  • (i) the circumstances of the public company or entity giving the remuneration; and

  • (ii) the Related Party’s circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment).

Page 14

The Directors (excluding Mr Gordon and Mr Scarpelli who have a material personal interest in Resolutions 6 and 7 respectively) have determined the proposed issue of Shares to be a part of the reasonable remuneration of Mr Gordon and Mr Scarpelli (respectively), having regard to the circumstances of the Company and the respective responsibilities of Mr Gordon and Mr Scarpelli as Directors and senior executives. The proposed issue of Shares is accordingly considered to fall within the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act, and Shareholder approval is therefore not sought for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

4.5 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Gordon, to whom Resolution 6 relates and Mr Scarpelli, to whom Resolution 7 relates), unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 6 and 7.

The Chair will cast all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 6 and 7.

5 RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

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 from 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% ( 10% Placement Facility ).

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. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

Resolution 8 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.

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 provided for in 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.

5.2 Requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

5.2.1 Eligible entities

As set out above, an eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity at the time of this Notice of Meeting and expects to be so at the date of the Meeting.

5.2.2 Shareholder approval

Shareholders must approve the 10% Placement Facility by special resolution at the Annual General Meeting, which requires the approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative). A resolution under Listing Rule 7.1A cannot be put at any other Shareholder meeting.

5.2.3 Equity Securities

Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing class of Equity Securities of the Company that are quoted on the ASX.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue the following classes of Equity Securities quoted on the ASX:

  • 496,701,213 Shares;

  • 523,238 Options, with an exercise price of $0.000 per Option and expiring on 31/12/25;

  • 1,535,164 Options, with an exercise price of $0.000 per Option and expiring on 31/12/26;

  • 3,901,896 Options, with an exercise price of $0.000 per Option and expiring on 31/12/27; and

  • 2,735,496 Options, with an exercise price of $0.000 per Option and expiring on 31/12/28.

Page 15

5.2.4 Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

If Resolution 8 is passed the Company may, during the period of the approval, issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) - E

Where:

  • A = The number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period;

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period.

Note that “A” has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity;

  • D = 10%;

  • E = The number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4; and

“relevant period” means:

  • if the entity has been admitted to the official list for 12 months or more, the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement; or

  • if the entity has been admitted to the official list for less than 12 months, the period from the date the entity was admitted to the official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.

Note that “relevant period” has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

5.2.5 Interaction between ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

The 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company has 496,701,213 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice. If Resolution 8 is passed the Company will be permitted to issue (as at the date of this Notice):

  • 74,505,181 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • 49,670,121 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will be permitted to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue or agreement to issue the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out above).

Page 16

The effect of Resolution 8 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A without using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

5.3 Information for Shareholders as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

5.3.1 ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.1 – Period of approval

An approval from Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1A will be valid and commence on the date of the Annual General Meeting at which Shareholder approval is obtained (being Monday, 26 May 2025) and expires on the first to occur of the following.

  • (a) The date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting.

  • (b) The time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting.

  • (c) The time and date of the approval by holders of the Company’s ordinary securities of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2.

5.3.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.2 – Minimum price

Any Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be in an existing quoted class of the Company’s Equity Securities and issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP for Equity Securities in the relevant quoted class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price of the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

5.3.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.3 – Purposes for which the new Equity Securities may be issued

The Company may use funds raised by an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 for the following purposes:

  • the acquisition of new assets or investments (including the expenses associated with such acquisitions);

  • continued exploration, feasibility study and project development expenditure on the Company's current assets; and/or

  • general working capital.

5.3.4 ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.4 – Risk of economic and voting dilution

If Resolution 8 is passed and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below.

There is the risk that:

  • the market price for the Company's existing Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of issue of the new Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • the new Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price of the Company's existing Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the new Equity Securities.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A.4, the table also shows:

  • two examples, where variable "A" has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example a pro rata entitlement issue) or future placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • two examples, where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

This table has been prepared using the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • No Options (including any Options having previously been issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • 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 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • The issue price is $0.350, being the latest closing price of the Shares on ASX on 28 March 2025.

5.3.5 ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.5 – Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy for the issue of new Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will be dependent on the existing market conditions at the time of the proposed issue. The allottees will be determined at the relevant time having regard to factors such as:

  • the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • the effect of the issue of new securities on the control of the Company;

  • the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (as relevant).

As at the date of this Notice the allottees are not known but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders. No allottee under the 10% Placement Facility will be a Related Party or associate of a Related Party. Existing Shareholders may or may not be entitled to subscribe for any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility, and it is possible that their Shareholding will be diluted.

The Company will comply with its disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 7.1A(4) on the issue of any new securities.

Page 18

5.3.6 ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6 – Details of Equity Securities issued during past 12 months

In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting (being the period commencing 26 May 2024), the Company has not issued Shares using the 10% placement capacity available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

5.4 Voting Exclusion Statement

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for the purposes of Resolution 8. At the date of this Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in a proposed issue of Equity Securities under the proposed 10% Placement Facility. No existing Shareholders’ votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

5.5 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.

6 RESOLUTION 9 – REFRESH EMPLOYEE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

6.1 Background

The Board has resolved, subject to Shareholder approval, to refresh the terms of its existing Employee Share Incentive Plan ( ESIP ). The purpose of the ESIP is to assist in the recruitment, reward, retention and motivation of employees and officers of the Company and encourage ownership of Shares by employees and Directors.

Shareholder approval is sought so that any issue of securities under the ESIP can fall within the exception to the calculation of the 15% limit imposed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on the number of Equity Securities which may be issued without Shareholder approval. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b), which provides that ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme that has been approved by the holders of ordinary securities.

Under the Listing Rules, such an approval will be valid for a period of 3 years commencing on the date of the Meeting (i.e. issues of securities under the ESIP will for a period of 3 years be excluded from the calculations in determining the number of securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1).

The rules of the ESIP are attached at Appendix 3.

6.2 Summary of the ESIP

A summary of the main provisions of the ESIP are set out below:

  • (a) The Board may determine which employees and Directors are entitled to participate in the ESIP and the extent of the participation.

  • (b) The Board may offer Awards (as defined in the ESIP) to any eligible person at such times and on such terms as the Board considers appropriate. However, under the Listing Rules, no Awards may be issued to a Director, whether under the ESIP or otherwise, without prior Shareholder approval.

  • (c) Where awarded, the exercise price of Options will be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion but having regard to the market value of Shares when it resolves to offer the Options.

  • (d) All Shares allotted upon exercise of the Awards will rank pari passu in all respects with Shares previously issued and, in particular, entitle the holders of Shares so allotted to participate fully in dividends declared by the Company after the date of allotment and all issues of securities made or offered pro rata to holders of Shares.

  • (e) The Company will not apply for official quotation of any Options issued under the ESIP.

  • (f) The Awards are not transferable except if a participant dies or becomes subject to a legal disability.

  • (g) If an Offeree (as defined in the ESIP) ceases to be a Director or an employee after an Option has become exercisable, the options may be exercised during the following 3 months or such longer period as the Board determines. Options not vested automatically lapse.

  • (h) Participants are not entitled to participate in any new issue of securities to existing holders of Shares unless they are entitled to exercise their Options and have done so prior to the record date for determining entitlements.

  • (i) There is no right to change the exercise price of an Option nor the number of underlying Shares over which the Option can be exercised in the case of a bonus issue or a pro rata issue.

  • (j) On a reorganisation of the Company’s capital, the rights of participants will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules.

6.5 Voting Exclusion Statement

6.6 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.

7 RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL OF LEAVING ENTITLEMENTS

7.1 Background

Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act restricts the benefits that can be given without Shareholder approval to individuals who hold or held a managerial or executive office (as defined in the Corporations Act) on leaving employment with the Company or its Related Bodies Corporate ( Group ).

Approval is sought for the purposes of sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act in respect of any termination benefits that may be provided to individuals who hold, or held a managerial or executive office in the Group in the last three years prior to cessation of employment, including KMP ( Relevant Executives ).

7.2 Rationale for Seeking Shareholder Approval

The approval sought is in relation to the Group’s existing obligations to its Relevant Executives and to enable the Group to operate its remuneration programs to support the Group’s strategy.

The approval sought will enable the Board to:

  • facilitate the execution of the Company’s remuneration policy as outlined in the Remuneration Report;

  • deliver current Relevant Executives the benefits to which they are contractually entitled;

  • attract and retain future Relevant Executives on market competitive terms; and

  • preserve the discretion for the Company to determine the most appropriate termination package for Relevant Executives at the time cessation occurs, having regard to their contribution to the Group and the circumstances in which they are ceasing employment.

Shareholder approval of this Resolution will not guarantee that a Relevant Executive will receive any of the termination benefits described below. The Company is conscious of the need to strike an appropriate balance between ensuring fair treatment of Relevant Executives on cessation of employment and avoiding excessive termination pay-outs.

The Company is seeking shareholder approval for the following benefits or entitlements:

  • additional termination benefits to a Relevant Executive including payments in lieu of notice, or restraint payments included under an employment contract of up to a maximum of 12 months’ base salary (based on the salary of the Relevant Executive at the time their employment ceases); and/or

  • the full range of leaving benefits provided for under the terms of incentive awards for Relevant Executives, some of which involve exercise of discretion by the Board (or its delegates) and/or acceleration of vesting in limited circumstances.

7.3 Summary of the Company’s Leaving Benefits

The summary below outlines the key categories of potential termination benefits that may become payable to Relevant Executives and the types of circumstances in which they may arise.

The summary is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of every benefit that could become payable to Relevant Executives in every potential termination scenario. Part of the reason the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Resolution 10 is to preserve a degree of flexibility for the Board to tailor the termination arrangements for Relevant Executives having regard to the circumstances of the Relevant Executive’s cessation of employment and within the parameters imposed by:

Page 20

  • the Company’s remuneration philosophy and policy, as set out in the Remuneration Report;

  • the Relevant Executive’s employment contract;

  • the terms of any equity awards granted to the Relevant Executive under the Company’s incentive plans (which may vary from year to year); and

  • prevailing laws, regulations, market practice and governance expectations in the relevant jurisdiction at the time the Relevant Executive ceases employment.

7.3.1 Employment Contract Benefits

Under their employment contracts, Relevant Executives may become entitled to payments in lieu of notice upon cessation of their employment. For KMP, notice periods of between 2 to 12 months (inclusive) currently apply.

Relevant Executives are generally not eligible for any contractual payments, aside from statutory entitlements, where their employment is terminated for cause.

7.3.2 Incentive Plan Entitlements

In the event of termination of employment, the awards made to Relevant Executives under the Company’s short term and long term incentive plans may occur under either ‘good leaver’ or ‘bad leaver’ circumstances.

‘Good leavers’ are typically those who cease due to death or disability, illness, retirement, redundancy or other appropriate circumstances at the Board’s discretion (which could include termination by mutual agreement). Termination for cause and resignation would typically be ‘bad leaver’ scenarios.

For ‘good leavers’, the Board may in some circumstances allow:

  • unpaid short-term incentives to be subject to pro-rating where a Relevant Executive only serves part of the performance period; and

  • unvested equity that is subject to a performance condition to be pro-rated for the portion of the performance period served and to remain on foot to allow vesting in the ordinary course, subject to any applicable performance hurdles.

The Board envisages that it would exercise its discretion to accelerate vesting of performance-based equity awards only in extraordinary circumstances (e.g., death, serious injury, disability or illness). Similarly, the Board would only exercise its discretion to allow more than a pro-rata portion of unvested performance-based awards to remain on foot in limited circumstances, having regard to the duration of the vesting period elapsed, the level of performance of the Relevant Executive against any applicable hurdles and the specific circumstances of the Relevant Executive ceasing employment with the Group.

Relevant Executives who cease employment as ‘bad leavers’ (i.e. for reasons that do not make them a ‘good leaver’) will generally forfeit all unpaid short-term incentives and unvested long term equity plan entitlements on cessation of employment.

7.4 Potential Termination Benefits

The amount and value of the termination benefits that may be provided to a Relevant Executive as a result of Shareholder approval being given for Resolution 6 cannot be determined in advance as various matters will, or are likely to, affect that value, including:

  • the circumstances in which the Relevant Executive ceases employment and the extent to which they served the applicable notice period;

  • the Relevant Executive’s base salary at the time the relevant awards were made and the time they ceased employment;

  • the Relevant Executive’s length of service and the portion of any relevant performance periods for equity awards that have expired at the time they cease employment;

  • the number of unvested options or other equity entitlements that the Relevant Executive holds at the time they cease employment and the number that the Board determines to vest, lapse or leave on foot;

  • the Company’s share price when the value of any equity-based termination entitlements is determined, and the terms of those entitlements (including performance conditions);

  • any other factors the Board considers relevant when exercising its discretion, including where appropriate its assessment of the performance of the Relevant Executive up to the date of cessation; and/or

Page 21

  • any changes in law between the date the Group enters into an employment agreement with a Relevant Executive and the date they cease employment.

7.5

Approval Period

If Shareholder approval under Resolution 10 is obtained, that approval will be effective for three years from the date the Resolution is passed ( Effective Period ). This means that the Shareholder approval will be effective if, during the Effective Period:

  • the Board (or its delegates) exercise discretion as outlined above in connection with the cessation of employment of a Relevant Executive; or

  • the Group executes a deed of separation with the Relevant Executive in respect to the cessation of their employment; or

  • the Relevant Executive ceases employment with the Group.

7.6

Effect of Approval

If Resolution 10 is approved, the value of the benefits outlined in this Section 7 will be disregarded when calculating the Relevant Executive’s termination benefits cap for the purpose of subsection 200F(2)(b) or subsection 200G(1)(c) of the Corporations Act.

7.7

Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement has been included in the Notice of Meeting for the purposes of Resolution 10.

  6. a. any vested ZEPOs may be exercised during the following 3 months (or such longer period as the Board may determine), and any ZEPOs not exercised within such period will automatically lapse; and

  7. b. any unvested ZEPOs will immediately lapse (unless otherwise determined by the Board).

  8. Holders of ZEPOs are not entitled to participate in any new issue of securities to existing holders of Shares unless they are entitled to exercise their ZEPOs and have done so prior to the record date for determining entitlements.

  9. There is no right to change the exercise price of a ZEPO nor the number of underlying Shares over which the ZEPO can be exercised in the case of a bonus issue or a pro rata issue.

APPENDIX 2: MATERIAL TERMS OF STI PLAN

A summary of the main provisions of the STI Plan is set out below:

  • (a) the Board may determine which Company employees (which includes any Directors who are also full time employees) and contractors are entitled to participate in the STI Plan and the extent of their participation;

  • (b) the Board will set key performance indicators annually for each participant, which will include important financial and non-financial strategic performance-related targets;

  • (c) the Board will review the performance of participants annually in meeting the key performance indicators applicable to them for that relevant year and will determine their entitlement to any award under the STI Plan;

  • (d) a minimum percentage of that award payment (as determined by the Board) must be taken in cash and the balance will, subject to the terms and conditions of the STI Plan, applicable law and the Listing Rules, be available to be taken as Shares at a deemed issue price per Share determined by the Board. The Board will, in notifying participants as to their award entitlements and providing the above information, be deemed to have made an offer to each such participant to subscribe for up to the maximum number of Shares calculated by multiplying the deemed issue price per Share by the balance of the relevant award payment (once the minimum cash payment has been subtracted). The participant may then elect the extent to which it wishes to accept that offer and take Shares (as opposed to cash) by way of award payment;

  • (e) the Board may offer Shares to any eligible person at the time and on the terms the Board considers appropriate however, under the Listing Rules no Shares may be issued to Directors, whether under the STI Plan or otherwise, without prior Shareholder approval;

  • (f) all Shares issued under the STI Plan will rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and, in particular, entitle holders to participate fully in dividends declared by the Company after the date of issue and all issues of securities made or offered pro-rata to holders of shares;

  • (g) the Company will apply for official quotation of the Shares immediately on issue and will issue, where required to enable Shares to be freely tradeable on the ASX (subject to any restriction period as determined by the Board), a cleansing statement under section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act at the time Shares are issued. Where a cleansing statement is required, but cannot be issued, the Company will use reasonable endeavours to prepare and lodge a prospectus in relation to the Shares with ASIC which complies with the requirements of the Corporations Act and allows the Shares to be freely tradeable on the ASX (subject to any restriction period);

  • (h) the Board may determine that, upon a change of control event, a participant is entitled to receive a payment under the STI Plan which corresponds to the level to which the Board considers the relevant annual key performance indicators for the year in question had by that time been achieved; and

  • (i) the Board may amend, terminate or suspend the STI Plan at any time.

  • 11.5. The Board may, in its absolute discretion, by notice to the Participant waive or vary (provided such variation is not adverse to the Participant) all or any of the Exercise Conditions attaching to Options at any time.

12. BOARD DISCRETION TO PRO-RATE ENTITLEMENTS WHERE EMPLOYMENT STATUS CHANGES

  • 12.1. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Rules, in circumstances where:

  • (a) Options granted to a Participant have otherwise become liable to vest as a result of:

    • (i) the satisfaction of the Exercise Conditions applicable to those Options; or

    • (ii) the application of paragraph 11.2; and

30 of 36

  • (b) that Participant was a full-time employee of the Company at the date of grant of the relevant Options but has since become a part-time employee,

the Board may, in its sole discretion and as regards any Participant, determine that the actual quantity of such Options which will vest (and thereafter be capable of exercise) under these Rules will be reduced as follows:

  • (c) as soon as practicable after the date on which the relevant Options would otherwise have become liable to vest under paragraph 12.1(a) (“ Notional Vesting Date ”), the Board will calculate the percentage of full-time equivalent employment undertaken by the Participant with the Company in the period between the date of grant of those Options and the Notional Vesting Date; and

  • (d) the quantity of Options which would otherwise have vested as a result of paragraph 12.1(a) will be multiplied by the percentage determined under paragraph 12.1(c) above in order to determine the actual quantity of such Options which will vest as a result of this Rule 11A.1.

  • 12.2. In making a calculation under paragraph 12.1(c), the Board may apply such formula(e) as it considers appropriate to give effect to the intention of paragraph 12.1.

  • 12.3. Where the Board makes a calculation under paragraph 12.1(c) with respect to particular Options and determines that only some of those Options will vest, the remainder of those Options will immediately lapse and thereafter be incapable of exercise.

13. SHARES ALLOTTED ON EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

  • 13.1. All Shares allotted upon exercise of the Options rank pari passu in all respects with Shares previously issued and, in particular, entitle the holders of Shares so allotted to participate fully in:

  • (a) dividends declared by the Company after the date of allotment; and

  • (b) all issues of securities made or offered pro rata to holders of Shares.

14. LAPSE OF OPTIONS

  • 14.1. Options not validly exercised on or before the Expiry Date will automatically lapse and all rights of the Participant under the Plan for those Options cease.

  • 14.2. If an Offeree ceases to be an Eligible Person for any reason at any time after an unexercised Option is or has become exercisable, then such Offeree, or if appropriate, his or her Permitted Nominee, may exercise any such Options held by him or her within:

  • (a) three (3) months of ceasing to be an Eligible Person; or

  • (b) such longer period as the Board determines,

and any Options the subject of this clause not exercised within the three (3) months or the longer period determined by the Board, will automatically lapse.

  • 14.3. A certificate signed by the company secretary of the Company stating that an Offeree ceased for any reason to be an Eligible Person shall (in the absence of manifest error) be conclusive for the purposes of the Plan, both as to such occurrence and the date of such occurrence.

  • 14.4. If at any time prior to the Expiry Date of any Awards a Participant dies or becomes subject to a legal disability, the Participant’s Legal Personal Representative may:

  • (a) elect to be registered as the new holder of the deceased Participant's Awards; and

  • (b) whether or not he or she becomes so registered, exercise those Options in accordance with and subject to these Rules as if he or she were the holder of them.

15. PARTICIPATION RIGHTS, BONUS ISSUES, RIGHTS ISSUES, REORGANISATIONS OF CAPITAL AND WINDING UP

  • 15.1. New Issues

  • (a) Participants holding Options are not entitled to participate in any new issue of securities to existing holders of Shares in the Company unless:

    • (i) they have become entitled to exercise their Options under the Plan; and

31 of 36

  • (ii) they do so before the record date for the determination of entitlements to the new issue of securities and participate as a result of being holders of Shares.

  • (b) The Company must, to the extent the Company is able to, give Participants, in accordance with the Listing Rules, notice of any new issue of securities before the record date for determining entitlements to the new issue.

15.2. Bonus Issues

There is no right to change the Exercise Price of an Option nor the number of underlying Shares over which the Option can be exercised, if the Company completes a bonus issue.

15.3. Pro Rata Issues

There is no right to change the Exercise Price of an Option nor the number of underlying Shares over which the Option can be exercised, if the Company completes a pro rata issue to the holders of Shares.

15.4. Reorganisation of Capital

15.5. Winding Up

If, prior to the expiry of any Options, a resolution for a members' voluntary winding up of the Company is proposed (other than the purpose of a reconstruction or amalgamation) the Board may, in its absolute discretion, give written notice to any Participant of the proposed resolution and specifying a period during which the Participant may exercise his or her Options. The Participant may, during the period referred to in the notice, exercise his or her Options.

15.6. Fractions of Shares

For the purpose of this paragraph 15, if Options are exercised by a Participant simultaneously, then the Participant may aggregate the number of Shares or fractions of Shares for which the Participant is entitled to subscribe. Fractions in the aggregate number only will be disregarded in determining the total entitlement of a Participant.

15.7. Calculations and Adjustments

Any calculations or adjustments which are required to be made under this paragraph 15 will be made by the Board and, in the absence of manifest error, are final and conclusive and binding on the Company and the Participant.
