6. Resolution 5 : Approval of Employee Equity Incentive Plan

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company may not issue equity securities, or agree to issue equity securities, without the approval of shareholders, if the number of equity securities to be issued in any 12 month period (including shares issued on the exercise of any options) exceeds 15% of the issued capital of the company preceding the issue.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 contains a number of exceptions to the prohibition contained in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. In particular, under Exception 13 in ASX Listing Rule 7.2, any equity securities issued under an employee incentive scheme within three years of the date on which Shareholders approve the issue of those equity securities are not counted for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 5 is designed to satisfy the requirements of Exception 13 in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 in relation to the Employee Equity Share Plan (the Plan).

To the extent that issues under the Plan are made to Directors and their associates, separate approval under Listing 10.14 will be sought by the Company.

The Plan is designed as a standard component of senior executive remuneration and is intended to comprise the long-term incentive component of remuneration for senior executives, including executive directors. Non-Executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the Plan.

Other than the Plan, the Company has no other employee or executive share-based plans.

Grants made under the Plan are subject to a performance period (usually set at three years) and Performance Rights will only vest if the relevant performance conditions are satisfied at the end of the relevant assessment period. The Plan has generally been designed to link rewards to eligible senior executives with improvements in Company performance and the delivery of returns to Shareholders, and for other executives, to reward their performance.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will have the ability to issue Awardsto eligible participants under the Plan over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is not passed, and if Awards are issued under the Plan, any Awardsissued will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

Since the Plan was initiated in 2017, the Company has issued 2,692,869 Performance Rights to ten Senior Executives in the Company .

A summary of the key terms of the Plan is set out below:

Eligibility Executives of the Company as determined by the Board.
Non-Executive
Directors are not eligible to participate in the Plan.
Form of grant The following securities can be issued under the Plan:
Performance Rights;

(Awards).
Participation Eligible employees may be invited by the Board to apply for Performance Rights
from time to time under the Plan, at the discretion of the Board.
Maximum
Number
The aggregate number of Performance Rights to be issued under the Plan is
limited to no more than 5% of the total number of shares on issue at that time.
At the date of this document therefore the total number of Performance Rights
that can be issued is 8,267,234 Performance Rights.
  • Terms and conditions The Board has discretion under the Plan Rules to set the terms and conditions (including conditions in relation to vesting, disposal restrictions or forfeiture and any applicable exercise price) on which it will invite eligible employees to apply for Options, Performance Rights or other Awards under the Plan and may set different terms and conditions which apply to different participants in the Plan.
  • Vesting Conditions Performance Rights will vest and become exercisable to the extent that the applicable performance, service or other vesting conditions specified at the time of grant are satisfied (collectively the Vesting Conditions). Vesting Conditions may include conditions relating to continuous employment or service, the individual performance of the participant and/or the Company's performance and the exercise price (if any) being less than the current market price of the underlying Shares as at vesting.

Typically, the Vesting Conditions must be satisfied within a predetermined vesting period.

Both the Vesting Conditions and the vesting period are set by the Board in its discretion and may (in certain circumstances) be waived by the Board in its discretion.

  • Vesting and exercise price The Board may, in its absolute discretion, determine that a participant is required to pay an exercise price to exercise the Options, Performance Rights or other Awards offered or granted to that participant. The Board may determine (in its discretion) and specify in an invitation that a participant may, at their election, pay the exercise price by setting off the exercise price against the number of Shares they are entitled to receive upon exercise.
  • Exercise of Awards Subject to satisfaction of Vesting Conditions, a participant may exercise an Award by lodging an exercise notice with the Company and complying with any requirements under the Plan.
  • Ranking of Shares Shares issued including Shares issued upon exercise of Options or Performance Rights granted under the Plan will rank equally in all respects with the other issued Shares.

Voting and Dividend Rights A participant is not entitled to vote at a Shareholder meeting or receive any dividends declared by the Company unless and until any Award is exercised and the Participant holds Shares that provide the right to vote and dividends.

  • Issue or Acquisition of Shares The Company may, in its discretion, issue new Shares or cause existing Shares to be acquired for transfer to the participant, or a combination of both alternatives, to satisfy the Company's obligations under the Plan. If the Company determines to cause the transfer of Shares to a participant, the Shares may be acquired in such manner as the Company considers appropriate, including from a trustee appointed under the Plan.
  • Expiry of Awards Performance Rights which have not been exercised will expire if the applicable Vesting Conditions and any other conditions to exercise are not met during the prescribed vesting period or if they are not exercised before the applicable expiry date. In addition, Awards will lapse if the participant deals with the

Awards in breach of the Rules of the Plan or in the opinion of the Directors, a participant has acted fraudulently or with gross misconduct.

  • Quotation Performance Rights Awards will not be quoted on the ASX. The Company will apply for official quotation of any Shares allotted under the Plan.
  • No hedging or transfer Participants in the Plan must not enter into transaction or arrangements, including by way of derivatives or similar financial products, which limit the economic risk of holding unvested Awards.
  • Restrictions The Board may impose restrictions on dealing in Shares or Awards which are acquired under the Plan, for example, by prohibiting them from being sold, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, charged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered for a period of time.
  • Settlement of Awards in cash If the Board determines that for a taxation, legal, regulatory or compliance reason it is not appropriate to issue or transfer Shares, the Company may in lieu and final satisfaction of the Company's obligation to issue or transfer Shares as required upon the exercise of an Award by a participant, make a cash payment to the participant equivalent to the fair market value of the Awards.
  • Capital reorganisation If the Company undergoes a capital reorganisation, then the terms of the Awards for the participant will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules.
  • Amendment to the Plan Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and to specified restrictions in the Plan Rules, the Company may at any time by written instrument or by resolution of the Board, amend the Plan Rules or the terms of Awards granted.
