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.

8. RESOLUTIONS 10, 11 AND 12 GRANT OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS - MR CHRISTOPHER ZIELINSKI, MR PATRIC GLOVAC AND MR JASON BREWER
Resolutions 10 to 12 seek Shareholder approval for the grant of a total of 75,000,000 Performance Rights, being 25,000,000 Performance Rights each to Mr Christopher Zielinski, Mr Patric Glovac and Mr Jason Brewer to incentivise their performance, on the terms and condition set out in the Schedule 1 ( Performance Rights )
The Company considers that vesting hurdles tied to its Share price are the most appropriate indicator for Director performance at its current stage of growth.
Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act
Each of the Directors has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 10 to 12 (as applicable to each Director) in this Notice of Meeting by virtue of the fact that Resolutions 10 to 12 are concerned with the issue of Performance Rights to Directors. Section 195 of the Corporations Act essentially provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a material personal interest are being considered. In the absence of Shareholder approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at Board meetings necessary to carry out the terms of these Resolutions. The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations act to put the issue to Shareholders to determine.
Section 208 of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.
Section 208(1)(a) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from giving a financial benefit (including an issue of securities) to a related party of the company without the approval of shareholders by a resolution passed at a general meeting at which no votes are cast in relation to the resolution in respect of any shares held by the related party or by an associate of the related party.
The Directors are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 228 of the Corporations Act and as a result, the grant of the Performance Rights constitute giving a financial benefit. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.
16
Baraka Energy & Resources Limited – Notice of Meeting
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not issue equity securities to a related party without the approval of holders of ordinary securities. Further, exception 14 of Listing Rule 7.2 states that approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required if shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11.
As set out above, the Directors are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 228 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11 to permit the grant of the Performance Rights to the Directors.
Resolutions 10 to 12 seek approval for the grant of 75,000,000 Performance Rights to the Directors for the purposes of satisfying the requirements of Listing Rule 10.11. If Resolutions 10 to 12 are approved, the Performance Rights granted will not affect the capacity of the Company to issue securities in the next 12 months under Listing Rule 7.1 as those securities, once issued, will be excluded from the calculations under Listing Rule 7.1.
As required by section 219 of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 10 to 12:
(a) Related parties to whom the financial benefits are to be given

| Total | 15,000,000 | 30,000,000 | 30,000,000 | 75,000,000 |
The Performance Rights will be granted for nil cash consideration. Instead of cash consideration, they are being granted to incentivise the performance of the Directors.

(h) Dilution
If all of the Performance Rights to be granted under Resolutions 10 to 12 vest and are exercised into Shares, and no other Shares are issued by the Company (including under the Share Purchase Plan Shortfall Placement), then Shareholders would be diluted by approximately 2.65%.
19
Baraka Energy & Resources Limited – Notice of Meeting
(i) Accounting treatment
Under the accounting standard AASB 2 Share-based Payment , the Company will recognise an expense in its statement of financial performance based on the fair value of the Performance Rights over the period from the date that they are granted until they vest. Based on the valuation report set out in section 8(c), the total fair value of the Performances to be granted is $318,000.
(j) Opportunity costs
Other than as set out in this Notice, the Company does not consider that there are any material opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Performance Rights under Resolutions 10 to 12.
(k) Intended use of funds raised
No funds will be raised from the grant of the Performance Rights as they are being granted to the Directors to incentivise their performance.
In the event the Performance Rights vesting conditions are satisfied, only a nominal amount of funds will be raised from the exercise of the Performance Rights (being a total of $750). This nominal amount will supplement the Company’s working capital.
(l) Directors’ interests and recommendations
Each Director is proposed to receive Performance Rights under Resolutions 10 to 12 and, therefore, the Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on how Shareholders should vote on these Resolutions.
(m) Reasons to vote in favour
The Company considers that the following are reasons why Shareholders may vote in favour of Resolutions 10 to 12:
-
The Company is currently in the exploration phase of its growth, which means that it is not generating revenues or profits, and does not anticipate doing so in the near term. As a result, the Company’s sources of funding are limited and it therefore needs to closely monitor its cash reserves and mitigate cash expenditure. Accordingly, the Company considers that a more appropriate way to remunerate its Directors is through equity based incentives, such as the Performance Rights. Please see section 8(e) for further information on the remuneration of the Directors.
-
The Company considers that vesting hurdles tied to its Share price are the most appropriate indicator for Director performance at its current stage of growth.
-
There may be further synergistic benefits to the Company in the Directors holding Shares in the event that the Performance Rights vest and are exercised as this will help to align their interests with those of Shareholders.
(n) Reasons to vote against
The Company considers that the following are reasons why Shareholders may vote against Resolutions 10 to 12.
- The number of Performance Rights to be granted represent a significant proportion of the total number of Shares on issue. Therefore, if the Performance Rights vest, a large number of Shares will likely be issued to the Directors which will dilute and reduce the Voting Power of Shareholders, and may reduce their
20
Baraka Energy & Resources Limited – Notice of Meeting
influence over the Company. See section 8(i) for further information on the maximum dilution of Shareholders’ interests resulting from the Performance Rights vesting and being exercised into Shares.
-
Using the valuation in section 8(c), the grant of the Performance Rights would significantly increase the total remuneration being paid to the Directors, which Shareholders may not agree with. See section 8(e) for further information on the remuneration of Directors.
-
The grant of the Performance Rights would require the Company to recognise their value as an expense on the Company’s statement of financial performance, which in turn will increase the size of anticipated losses. See section 8(j) for further information on the accounting treatment of the Performance Rights.
-
If the Performance Rights vest then the additional number of Shares on issue will necessarily cause the value of a Share to reduce which in turn may be reflected by a fall in the Share price on the ASX.
-
Even if the milestones are achieved there is no guarantee that the Share price will retain its value for long or at all. Therefore, the Performance Rights may vest and be exercised into Shares, but the benefit to Shareholders who retain their Shares may not be realised if the Share price subsequently falls.
(o) Other information
Other than as set out in this Explanatory Statement, there is no further information that is known to the Company or any of the Directors which Shareholders would reasonably require in order to decide whether or not it is in the Company’s best interests to approve Resolutions 10 to 12.
9. RESOLUTION 13 – CHANGE OF COMPANY’S NAME
Section 157 of the Corporations Act enables a company to change its name by special resolution passed at a general meeting. In accordance with section 157, Resolution 13 seeks approval of the shareholders to a change of the Company’s name from “Baraka Energy & Resources Limited” to “Global Vanadium Limited”.
This change of name has been proposed, as the Board believes that this name better reflects the nature and strategic value of the operations of the Company.
If Resolution 13 is approved the ASX code of the Company will change from “BKP” to “GLV”.
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 13. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 13.
21
Baraka Energy & Resources Limited – Notice of Meeting
10. RESOLUTION 14 – CHANGE OF COMPANY’S CONSTITUTION
A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.
Resolution 14 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution ( Proposed Constitution ) which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by shares and which reflects the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules and has been amended to reflect the new company name, “Global Vanadium Limited”.
The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend.
The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution and the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature to update the name of the Company to that adopted in Resolution 13 above, “Global Vanadium Limited”.
The Directors believe these amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders.
A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company's website www.barakaenergy.com.au and at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (+61 8 6380 2470).
Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
If Resolution 13 and 14 is passed, Resolution 14 will come into effect.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 14. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 14.
11. RESOLUTION 15 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT CAPACITY
General
Listing Rule 7.1 permits entities to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval in a 12 month period, subject to a number of exceptions.
Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible entities, which have obtained shareholder approval by special Resolution, to issue Equity Securities up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting (" Additional Placement Capacity ").
The Company seeks Shareholder approval under this Resolution to be able to issue Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity. The exact number of New Equity Securities to be issued is not fixed and will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (set out below).
22
Baraka Energy & Resources Limited – Notice of Meeting
Requirements of Listing Rule 7.1A
- (a) Eligible entities
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 with a market capitalisation of $14,129,899.
- (b) Shareholder approval
Shareholders must approve the Additional Placement Capacity by special Resolution at the annual general meeting and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote. A Resolution under Listing Rule 7.1A cannot be put at any other shareholder meeting.
-
(c)
-
New Equity Securities
New Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of Equity Securities of the Company that are quoted on ASX.
As at the date of this Notice, the Equity Securities that are quoted on ASX are fully paid ordinary Shares (ASX:BKP).
- (d) Formula for calculating number of New Equity Securities that may be issued under the Additional Placement Capacity
If this Resolution is passed, the Company may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after this Meeting, the number of New Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) - E
| (A x D) - E | |
|---|---|
| A | The number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement: • plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2; • plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months; • plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4; • less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months. |
| D | 10% |
| E | The number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4. |
23
Baraka Energy & Resources Limited – Notice of Meeting
- (e) Interaction between Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
The Additional Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company has 2,825,979,904 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice. If all of the Resolutions in this Notice are passed, the Company will be permitted to issue (as at the date of this Notice):
-
423,896,986 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
282,597,990 New Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of New 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 New Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out above).
The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1A without using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Information for Shareholders as required by Listing Rule 7.3A
- (a) Minimum price
The issue price of the New Equity Securities will be no lower than 75% of the volume weighted average price (VWAP) for securities in the relevant quoted class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the price of the New Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the New Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b)
-
Risk of economic and voting dilution
If this Resolution is passed and the Company issues securities under the Additional Placement Capacity, existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted.
There is the risk that:
-
the market price for the Company's existing Equity Securities in that class 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.
24
Baraka Energy & Resources Limited – Notice of Meeting
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 by Shareholders in the future;
-
two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the market price at 19 October 2018.

This table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The total number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice is 2,825,979,904.
-
(ii) The issue price is 0.005 cents, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 19 October 2018.
-
(iii) The Company issues the maximum number of New Equity Securities available under the Additional Placement Capacity.
-
(iv) 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 Shareholder approval.
-
(v) No quoted Options (including any quoted Options issued under the Additional Placement Capacity) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(vi) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(vii) The table shows only the effect of issues of New Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(viii) The issue of New Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of New Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
25
Baraka Energy & Resources Limited – Notice of Meeting
The Company's ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to its ability to issue securities under listing rule 7.1.
(c) Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the Additional Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from 29 November 2018 (the date of this Meeting) and expires on the earlier of:
-
29 November 2019, which is 12 months after this Meeting; or
-
the date that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking) (the " Placement Period ").
The Company will only issue and allot New Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The approval will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders' approve a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.
-
(d)
-
Purposes for which the New Equity Securities may be issued
The Company may seek to issue New Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
cash consideration to raise funds for the continued development on the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including the expenses associated such acquisition) and for general working capital; and/or
-
non-cash consideration for acquisition of new assets, investments or for the payment of goods or services or for the issue of Equity Securities associated with equity, debt or convertible security facilities that may be provided to the Company. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
(e) Allocation policy
The Company's allocation policy for the issue of New Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Capacity will depend on the market conditions existing 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, a placement or a rights issue;
-
the effect of the issue of new securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
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 Additional Placement Capacity will be a related party or associate of a related party. Existing Shareholders may or may not be entitled to subscribe for any New Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Capacity and it is possible that their shareholding will be diluted.
If the Additional Placement Capacity is used to acquire new assets or investments, then it is likely that the allottees will be the vendors of the new assets.

SCHEDULE 1 – PERFORMANCE RIGHTS
1. Grant price
Each Performance Right will be granted by the Company for nil cash consideration.
2.
Rights
-
(a) The Performance Rights do not carry any voting rights in the Company.
-
(b) The Performance Rights confer on the holder the right to receive notices of general meetings and financial reports and accounts of the Company that are circulated to shareholders. Holders of Performance Rights have the right to attend general meetings of shareholders.
-
(c) The Performance Rights do not entitle the holder to any dividends.
-
(d) The Performance Rights do not confer any right to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up of the Company.
-
(e) The Performance Rights do not confer any right to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.
-
(f) The Performance Rights do not confer the right to participate in new issues of securities such as entitlement issues or bonus issues. If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of a Performance Right will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Performance Right had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.
-
(g) If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reorganised, the rights of the holder may change to comply with Listing Rule 6.16. Further, the Performance Rights are to be treated in the manner set out in Listing Rule 7.21 (assuming that the Listing Rules apply), being that the number of Performance Rights or the conversion ratio or both will be reorganised so that the holder of the Performance Rights will not receive a benefit that holders of ordinary shares do not receive and so that the holders of ordinary shares will not receive a benefit that the holder of the Performance Rights does not receive.
-
(h) The Performance Rights give 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.
3.
Exercise
- (a) A class of Performance Rights ( Class ) immediately vests and becomes exercisable by the holder into Shares ( Conversion Shares ) on a one for one basis upon and subject to the Company providing written notice ( Vesting Notice ) to the holder that the Company has satisfied the relevant condition ( Condition ) by the relevant expiry date ( Expiry Date ) set out below.
30

-
(c) Despite any other provision, the exercise of any Performance Rights is subject to the Company obtaining any required shareholder or regulatory approval for the purpose of issuing the Conversion Shares. If exercise of all or part of the Performance Rights would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) then the exercise of each Performance Right that would cause the contravention will be deferred until such time or times that the exercise would not at a later date result in a contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act. The holder must give prior written notice to the Company if it considers that the exercise of all or part of its Performance Rights may result in the contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act, failing which the Company will be entitled to assume that the exercise of the Performance Rights under these terms will not result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act.
-
(d) The Company must issue Conversion Shares in the name of the holder (or its nominee) within 7 days of receiving a valid Exercise Notice and the Exercise Price.
-
(e) Each Conversion Share will rank equally with a fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company.
-
(f) The Performance Rights will not be quoted on any securities exchange and the Company will not make an application for quotation in respect of them. However, if the Company is listed on the ASX at the relevant time, the Company must apply for quotation of any Conversion Shares on the ASX in accordance with the Listing Rules, subject always to the requirements of the Listing Rules, including those relating to escrow.
4. Expiry
Performance Rights which have not been validly exercised into Conversion Shares on or before the earlier of:
- (a) the date that is 1 month after the date that the holder ceases to be engaged for services by the Company in any capacity; and

6.
Compliance with law
-
(a) Despite anything else contained in these terms, if the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or Constitution prohibits an act being done, that act must not be done.
-
(b) Nothing contained in these terms prevents an act being done that the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or Constitution require to be done.
-
(c) If the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or Constitution conflict with these terms, or these terms do not comply with the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or the Constitution, the holder authorises the Company to do anything necessary to rectify such conflict or non-compliance, including but not limited to unilaterally amending these terms.
-
(d) The terms of the Performance Rights may be amended as necessary by the directors of the Company in order to comply with the Listing Rules, or any directions of ASX regarding the terms.

-
(b) If a Control Event occurs, the Company may in its sole and absolute discretion, and subject to the Listing Rules and 7(c) below, determine how unvested Performance Rights will be treated, including but not limited to determining that unvested Performance Rights (or a portion of unvested Performance Rights) will become immediately exercisable into Conversion Shares with such exercise deemed to have taken place immediately prior to the effective date of the Control Event.
-
(c) The total number of Conversion Shares issued under 7(b) above must not exceed 10% of the issued ordinary capital of the Company as at the date of exercise.
-
(d) Whether or not the Company determines to accelerate the vesting of any Performance Rights, the Company must give written notice of any proposed Control Event to the holder

2. SCOPE OF VALUATION
Background
We understand that the Company is planning to issue 75 million Rights, in three separate classes, to each of the three directors of the Company (25 million each), subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s AGM.
The terms attached to the Rights are summarised in the table below:
Scope of Valuation
The scope of the work performed in assessing the fair value of the Rights has consisted of:
-
An assessment of the indicative fair value of the Rights based on the above terms;
-
A review of the historical volatility of the share price of the Company; and
-
Discussions with the Company Secretary.
Table 1 Rights terms
| Rights | Class A | Class B | Class C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number | 15,000,000 | 30,000,000 | 30,000,000 |
| Valuation date | 9-Oct-18 | 9-Oct-18 | 9-Oct-18 |
| Exercise Price | Nil | Nil | Nil |
| Expiry period | 3 years | 3 years | 3 years |
| Vestinghurdle(20-dayVWAP) | $0.01 | $0.015 | $0.02 |
We understand that there are market-based vesting conditions attached to Class A, B and C Rights. The vesting conditions attached to each class are summarised as follows:
-
Class A Rights will vest when the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s shares, as traded on the ASX over 20 consecutive trading days, is equal to or greater than $0.01;
-
Class B Rights will vest when the VWAP of the Company’s shares, as traded on the ASX over 20 consecutive trading days, is equal to or greater than $0.015; and
-
Class C Rights will vest when the VWAP of the Company’s shares, as traded on the ASX over 20 consecutive trading days, is equal to or greater than $0.02.

3. VALUATION METHODOLOGY
Consideration of AASB 2
AASB 2 specifies the financial reporting requirements by an entity when it undertakes a share based payment transaction. In particular, it sets out the approach which the entity must follow in reporting in its profit and loss account any impact of any share based payment transaction.
For the purposes of AASB 2, a share based payment transaction is defined as a transaction in which an entity:
Figure 1 AASB 2 vesting condition definitions
Vesting Conditions Service condition Performance condition Require the counterparty to Require the counterparty to complete a specified period of complete a specified period service and specified performance targets of service
-
(i) receives goods or services from the supplier of those goods and services (including an employee) in a share based payment arrangement; or
-
(ii) incurs an obligation to settle the transaction with the supplier in a share based payment arrangement when another group entity receives those goods and services.
Further, a share based payment arrangement is defined as:
An agreement between an entity and another party (including an employee) that entitles the other party to receive:
Market condition Non-market condition A condition upon which the A performance exercise price, vesting or condition that is not a exercisability of an equity market condition instrument depends that is related to the market price of the entity's equity instruments
-
(i) cash or other assets of the entity for amounts that are based on the price (or value) of equity instruments (including shares or share options) of the entity or another group entity; or
-
(ii) equity instruments (including shares or shares) of the entity or another group entity, provided the specified vesting conditions are met.
AASB 2 prescribes that vesting conditions are either ‘service’ conditions or ‘performance’ conditions and that performance conditions are further defined as ‘market’ conditions or ‘nonmarket’ conditions.
The features of each type of vesting condition, as set out in AASB 2, are summarised in the figure opposite.
Determining the fair value of equity instruments granted
AASB 2 states that an entity shall measure the fair value of instruments granted as at the measurement (grant) date, based on market prices, if available, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.
Where market prices are not available, the entity must estimate the value of the instrument based upon a valuation technique to estimate the price the equity instruments would have been at the measurement date. The valuation technique should be consistent with generally accepted valuation methodologies and shall incorporate all factors and assumptions that a knowledgeable willing market participant would consider in setting the price.
Valuation impact of vesting conditions
If a grant of equity instruments is subject to satisfying certain vesting conditions, such conditions may be taken into account when estimating the fair value. AASB 2 specifies that vesting conditions, other than market conditions, shall not be taken into account when estimating the fair value of the shares or share options at the measurement date.
7
With regard to the treatment of vesting conditions, and in particular non-market conditions, when accounting for a share based payment, paragraph 19 of AASB 2 states:
“There might be performance conditions that must be satisfied, such as the entity achieving a specified growth in profit or a specified increase in the entities share price. Vesting conditions, other than market conditions, shall not be taken into account when estimating the fair value of the shares or share options at the measurement date. Instead, vesting conditions shall be taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments included in the measurement of the transaction amount, so that ultimately, the amount recognised for goods and services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. Hence on a cumulative basis, no amount is recognised for goods or services received if the equity instruments granted do not vest because of failure to satisfy a vesting condition, for example the counterparty fails to complete a specified service period, or a performance condition is not satisfied.”
Selected valuation methodology
In our opinion, the vesting conditions attached to Class A, B and C Rights meet the definition of a market condition, as the vesting of the Rights is dependent on the future market price of the Company’s ordinary shares.
Therefore, determining the value of the Rights, we have used the Hoadley Trading & Investment
Tools (“Hoadley”) Barrier1 trinomial option valuation model.
Further information on Hoadley’s employee option valuation models can be found at www.hoadley.net.
Valuation model assumptions
We set out the assumptions we have used in assessing the fair value of the Rights in the table opposite.

Source: The Company and RSM analysis
1. Valuation date – We note that the Rights are yet to be issued and have therefore assumed the Grant date of the Rights to be 9 October 2018.
2. Spot price – This is the market close spot price on 8 October 2018, the last trading day prior to the Valuation Date.
3. Exercise price – We understand the exercise price is $0.00001 for all classes of Rights.
4. Expiry date – We understand that the Rights will expire three years after they are granted. We have assumed the expiry date to be on 8 October 2021, three years after the Valuation Date.
5. Vesting hurdle – As per the terms of the Rights.
6. Expected future volatility – In assessing the expected future volatility we have considered the historical volatility in the Company’s shares over a number of recent trading periods and concluded that a volatility figure of 100% is reflective of the future volatility of the Company’s shares over the life of the Rights.
7. Risk free rate – We have determined this based on the yields of Commonwealth bonds using a three-year bond rate for the Rights, being the period which most closely correspond to the respective lives of the Rights. The interest rate has been sourced from the RBA as the closing rate on 5 October 2018.
- Dividend yield – We have assumed a nil dividend yield as the Company is not expected to pay dividends over the life of the Rights.

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS SHAREHOLDER PROXY FORM
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND AND VOTE AT THE MEETING, PLEASE BRING THIS FORM WITH YOU. THIS WILL ASSIST IN REGISTERING YOUR ATTENDANCE.
CHANGE OF ADDRESS
This form shows your address as it appears on Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes.
CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES
If a representative of a nominated corporation is to attend the meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced prior to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.
APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY
If you wish to appoint the Chair as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.
SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROXY FORM
Individual:
Where the holding is in one name, the security holder must sign.
Joint Holding:
Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the security holders should sign.
DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING
If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chair of the Meeting.
Power of Attorney:
If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with Advanced Share Registry, please attach the original or a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies:
VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on an item, your vote on that item will be invalid.
PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
If you wish to appoint a Director (other than the Chair) or other member of the Company’s key management personnel, or their closely related parties, as your proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Items 1, 10, 11 and 12, by marking the appropriate box. If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for Items 1, 10, 11 and 12.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct them how to vote on an item (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that item), the Chair may vote as they see fit on that item.
Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
LODGE YOUR PROXY FORM
This Proxy Form (and any power of attorney under which it is signed) must be received at an address given below by 2:00pm (WST) on 27 November 2018, being not later than 48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting. Proxy Forms received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
