Resolution 4 – Ratification of the issue of 105,740,000 Placement Shares

Background

On 21 June 2023, the Company announced that it had completed a placement through the issue of 105,740,000 Shares at $0.008 per Share ( Placement Shares ) to raise $845,920 ( Placement ).

On completion of the Placement, Hongkong Ausino Investment Limited became a substantial shareholder in the Company by virtue of holding 19.95% of the issued share capital. Hongkong Ausino Investment Limited is a company owned and controlled by Dr Fu Minlu, a Perth based mineral explorer.

11

Explanatory Memorandum

Funds raised from the Placement will be used to advance the Company’s Queensland copper gold exploration projects and for general working capital.

The Placement Shares were issued without Shareholder approval under the Company’s existing placement capacities as follows:

  • (e) 63,301,310 Placement Shares were issued under the Company’s existing placement capacity as provided for by Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (f) 42,438,690 Placement Shares were issued under the Company’s existing placement capacity as provided for by Listing Rule 7.1A.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an entity must not, subject to certain exemptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12-month period than the amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12month period ( 15% Limit ) without Shareholder approval.

Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may 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%. This means that during the relevant 12 month period, the Eligible Entity can issue up to 25% of the fully paid ordinary securities that it had on issue at the start of the relevant 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 permits Shareholders to ratify a previous issue of Equity Securities in a general meeting, and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 when it was made, those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. This will mean that the Placement Shares will not be deducted from the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

The issue of the Placement Shares has depleted all of the Company’s available capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A to issue new Equity Securities.

Accordingly, the Company now seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the placement issue in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the 105,740,000 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s capacity limit pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. Therefore, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities to the 25% placement capacity without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholders’ approval in the relevant period.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the 105,740,000 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. This means that if Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will have no flexibility to utilise its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to take advantage of any commercial opportunities as they may arise.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 4:

Names of
allottees
The Placement Shares were issued to Hongkong Ausino Investment Limited.
Number and
class of

The Shares rank, from their date of issue, equally with all other Shares on issue.

Issue Price The issue price for the Placement Shares was $0.008 per Share.
Purpose and use
of Funds
The funds raised from the Placement will be used to advance the Company’s
Queensland copper gold exploration projects and for general working
capital.
Material terms of
agreement
The relevant agreement provided that the issue price of Placement Shares is
$0.008 and includes various other conditions usual for a placement of this sort.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 and advise that they intend to vote any Shares that they own or control in favour of Resolution 4.

The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

Resolution 5 – Approval to issue the Consideration Securities to Echo Vista Exploration

Background

On 18 September 2023, the Company announced that it had engaged Echo Vista Exploration Pty Ltd ( Echo Vista ) to commence induced polarisation sounding surveys over the Foxtails and Shuffleton Prospects in Mount Isa, Queensland (the Agreement ).

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company has agreed, subject to first obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue the Consideration Securities as follows:

  • (a) 40% of the relevant fees payable for the work to be performed under the Agreement ( Completed Survey Fee ), in the form of Shares at an issue price of the 14-day volume weighted price of Shares for the 20 consecutive Trading Days on the ASX prior to 18 September 2023 ( Consideration Shares ); and

  • (b) 10,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of 18 September 2025, subject to the Company publishing a Mineral Resource estimate of at least 20Mt on the Foxtails and Shuffleton Prospects ( Consideration Options ).

Subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that an entity may issue without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an agreement to issue Equity Securities that is conditional on the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities approving the issue before the issue is made shall be an exception to this prohibition, provided that if an entity relies on this exception that entity must not issue the Equity Securities without such approval.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, and all other purposes, for the issue of the Consideration Securities.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be permitted to issue the Consideration Securities. In addition, the Consideration Securities will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

13

Explanatory Memorandum

If Resolutions 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Securities to Echo Vista in accordance with the Agreement and will need to seek to make alternative arrangements with Echo Vista under the Agreement.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 5:

Names of allottees The Consideration Securities will be issued to Echo Vista Exploration Pty Ltd.
Number and class
of securities issued
Subject to obtaining Shareholder approval and the terms of the Agreement,
the Company will issue:
(a)
up to $100,000 worth of Shares.

that gives a total value of 40% of the Completed Survey Fee,
calculated at the volume weighted average price of Shares for the
20 consecutive Trading Days on the ASX prior to 18 September 2023,
being $0.013. As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Completed
Survey Fee is not yet known however the unit price per line kilometre
is $1,680 (excl. GST) and the Agreement anticipates 264km of line to
be surveyed. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is being sought for
the issue of up $100,000 worth of Shares, which is 40% of $250,000,
being the amount equal to the price of the total line kilometres to be
surveyed under the Agreement and provides a contingency for any
cost overruns under the Agreement; and
(b)
10,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date
of 18 September 2025, subject to the Company achieving a milestone
of at least 20Mt JORC Resource in the Foxtails and Shuffleton
Prospects.
The potential dilutionary effect is shown in the table below this table.
The Consideration Shares to be issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the
capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the
Company’s existing Shares.
Material terms of
the Consideration
Options
The Consideration Options provide the right for Echo Vista to subscribe for
one (1) Share on the payment of the exercise price of $0.03 per Share at any
time until 18 September 2025. The other material terms of the Consideration
Options are contained in Annexure A.
Date of issue The Consideration Securities will be issued as soon as possible following the
Meeting and in any event, no later than 3 months after the date of the
Meeting.

Resolution 6 – Approval of the Long Term Incentive Plan

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval to issue securities under its Long Term Incentive Plan ( Plan ) for the purpose of exception 13(b) to Listing Rule 7.2 and for those securities to be

1 Calculated on the basis that all Consideration Options have been converted into Shares.

2 Based on the current number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice and assuming that no other Shares are issued between the date of this Notice and the date of the issue of Consideration Securities.

15

Explanatory Memorandum

excluded from the calculation of the number of securities issued for the purposes of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

The purpose of the Plan is to permit the Company to issue securities to eligible employees, officers and contractors of the Company and/ or their associated body corporates ( Eligible Employees ) to assist in the attraction, retention and motivation of those persons.

A summary of the material terms of the Plan are contained in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum.

Shareholder approval of the Plan and the issue of securities pursuant to the Plan is being sought for the reasons set out below.

Listing Rules

As noted elsewhere in this Explanatory Memorandum, Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits, subject to certain qualified exceptions, the Company from issuing Equity Securities in excess of the 15% Threshold, unless prior Shareholder approval is obtained. This 15% limit can be increased by a further 10% if the Company’s Shareholders pass a resolution in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.

Exception 13 to Listing Rule 7.2, provides that the general prohibition contained in Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to the issue of Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme (such as the Plan), if, in the 3 years before the date of the relevant issue, Shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the employee incentive scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval to adopt the Plan and issue securities pursuant to it.

If Resolution 6 is passed the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities to Eligible Employees under the Plan without requiring further Shareholder approval for three years from the date of this Meeting, without using the Company’s 15% (and additional 10%, if applicable) placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will still be able to issue Equity Securities to Eligible Employees under the Plan, however, any such issue will be deducted from the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.

Under Listing Rule 10.14, any grant of Options or Performance Rights under the Plan to:

  • a director of the Company;

  • an associate of a director of the Company; or

  • a person whose relationship with the Company, the directors of the Company or their associates, is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders,

will require shareholder approval regardless of whether Resolution 6 is passed.

16

Explanatory Memorandum

Corporations Act – Termination Benefits

The Corporations Act restricts the Company from giving certain “benefits” to certain persons (those who hold a managerial or executive office, as defined in the Corporations Act) on ceasing their employment with the Company ( Termination Benefits ), in the absence of prior Shareholder approval unless an exemption applies.

The term “benefit” is defined broadly in the Corporations Act and includes benefits arising from the Board exercising its discretion under the terms of the Plan.

Under the terms of the Plan and subject to the Listing Rules, the Board possesses the discretion to vary the terms or conditions of the Options and Performance Rights and/ or exercises certain discretions to cater for various circumstances, including determining that the Options or Performance Rights may vest earlier than was initially provided for at the time of grant.

As a result of this discretion, the Board has the power to determine that some or all of a participant’s Options or Performance Rights will not lapse or may vest early on the occurrence of certain events, including in the event of the participant ceasing employment or office before as a result of death, total permanent disability, retirement or redundancy.

The exercise of such discretion by the Board may constitute a Termination Benefit for the purposes of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Resolution 6 also seeks Shareholder approval, for the Company to provide these Termination Benefits to participants in the Plan.

This approval is being sought in respect of any future participant in the Plan, and the Termination Benefits that may arise if and when any participants cease to be employed or engaged by the Company.

Corporations Act – Financial Assistance and Security

Section 259B of the Corporations Act provides that, generally, a company must not take security over shares in itself. An exception to this prohibition arises where the employee share scheme has been approved by shareholders under section 259B(2) of the Act.

Section 260A of the Corporations Act precludes a company from providing financial assistance to a person who acquires shares in the company or a holding company of the company except in limited circumstances. Pursuant to section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act, such financial assistance is exempted from the prohibition under section 260A if it has been given under an employee share scheme that has been approved by Shareholders.

As noted in Annexure B, the Directors may loan money to an Eligible Participant (as that term is defined in Annexure B) to enable that Eligible Participant to pay the Exercise Price for the Shares on the exercise of Options that have been issued to them under the Plan ( Loan Shares ).

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) and section 200E of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 6.

Terms of Plan A summary of the terms of the Plan are set out in Annexure B.

Explanatory Memorandum

be issued pursuant to
the Plan
Explanation of the
Termination
Benefits
The Plan contains provisions setting out the treatment of
unexercised Options and Performance Rights on their cessation of
employment or engagement by the Company, including the
Board’s discretion to decide that any Options or Performance Rights
will not, immediately, lapse and/ or waive any vesting conditions
attaching to those Options or Performance Rights.
As noted above, the exercise of these discretions by the Board will
constitute a “benefit” for the purposes of the restrictions contained
in the Corporations Act regarding Termination Benefits.
Value of the
Termination
Benefits
Various matters will or are likely to affect that value of the
Termination Benefits that the Board may give under the Plan and,
therefore the value of the Termination Benefits cannot be
determined in advance.
The value of a particular benefit resulting from the exercise of the
Board’s discretion under the Plan will depend on various factors,
including the Company’s share price at the time of the exercise of
these discretions, the number of Options or Performance Rights that
the Board decides to waive the vesting conditions in respect of and
the relevant vesting conditions (if any) applying to the Options or
Performance Rights. Some of the factors that may affect the value
of the Termination Benefits are as follows:
(a)
the nature and extent of any vesting conditions waived by
the Board;
(b)
the number of vesting conditions that have been satisfied at
the time that the Board exercises this discretion; and
(c)
the number of unexercised Options, Performance Rights or
Shares that the participant holds at the time that this
discretion is exercised.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 and advise that they intend to vote any Shares that they own or control in favour of Resolution 6.

The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

Resolutions 7 to 9 – Approval of the issue of Options to Directors

Resolutions 7 to 9 (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval to issue a total of 15,000,000 unquoted Options to the Directors, or their nominee, as follows:

  • (a) Mr Craig McPherson (Non-Executive Director): 5,000,000.

  • (b) Dr Wanfu Huang (Non–Executive Director): 5,000,000; and

  • (c) Mr Kevin Grice (Non-Executive Director): 5,000,000,

( NED Options ).

18

Explanatory Memorandum

Listing Rule Requirements

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to issue securities under its Long Term Incentive Plan to certain Eligible Employees.

Among those persons initially intended to be issued Options in accordance with the Long Term Incentive Plan are the Company’s Directors.

Listing Rule 10.14 requires that the Company obtain Shareholder approval prior to the issue of Equity Securities to a Director of the Company or their Associates.

Accordingly, Resolutions 7 to 9 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of NED Options to each of the Directors (or their nominated Associates) in accordance with Listing Rule 10.14.

A summary of the material terms of the Long Term Incentive Plan are contained in Annexure B. The specific terms that will apply to the issue of Options to the Directors are set out below.

If Resolutions 7 to 9 are all passed, each of the Company’s Directors will receive their respective NED Options.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, no NED Options will be issued to Mr McPherson (or his nominated Associate).

If Resolution 8 is not passed, no NED Options will be issued to Dr Huang (or his nominated Associate).

If Resolution 9 is not passed, no NED Options will be issued to Mr Grice (or his nominated Associate).

Corporations Act – Termination Benefits

As noted above, the Corporations Act restricts the Company from giving certain Termination Benefits to certain persons (those who hold a managerial or executive office, as defined in the Corporations Act) and the term “benefit” is defined broadly in the Corporations Act and includes benefits arising from the Board exercising its discretion under the terms of the Plan.

Under the terms of the Plan and subject to the Listing Rules, the Board possesses the discretion to vary the terms or conditions of the Options and Performance Rights and/ or exercises certain discretions to cater for various circumstances, including determining that the Options may vest earlier than was initially provided for at the time of grant.

The exercise of such discretion by the Board may constitute a Termination Benefit for the purposes of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Resolutions 7-9 also seek Shareholder approval, for the Company to provide these Termination Benefits to each of the Directors (or their nominated Associates) pursuant to the Plan.

Corporations Act – Financial Benefit to Related Party

Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a financial benefit to a Related Party unless an exception applies or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the Related Party. The Non-Executive Directors are Directors and are therefore each a Related Party of the Company.

Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that Shareholder approval is not required where the financial benefit constitutes reasonable remuneration.

19

Explanatory Memorandum

While the Directors believe that the proposed issue of NED Options falls within this exception, shareholder approval is being sought for the purpose of section 208 given that each Director is intended to participate in the issue of NED Options.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in respect of Resolutions 7 to 9:

Maximum
number of
securities

(b)
If Resolution 8 is passed, NED Options will be issued to Dr Huang (or his

(c)
If Resolution 9 is passed, NED Options will be issued to Mr Grice (or his
nominated Associate).
Purpose and
explanation of
the issue

The purpose of the issue of NED Options is to provide the Directors with reward
and incentive for future services they will provide to the Company to further
the progress of the Company.

Options are being used because the Directors consider that Options provide
a cost effective and efficient incentive that aligns with the interests of
Shareholders, as opposed to alternative forms of incentives (e.g. cash bonuses,
increased remuneration). However, it must be recognised that there will be an
opportunity cost to the Company, being the price at which the Company
could issue Equity Securities to a third party.

The opportunity costs and benefits foregone by the Company by issuing
Options is the potentially dilutionary impact on the issued share capital of the

Company (in the event that the Options are exercised). Until exercised, the issue of Options will not impact upon the number of ordinary shares on issue in the Company. To the extent that upon their exercise the dilutionary impact caused with the issue of Shares will be detrimental to the Company, this is more than offset by the advantages accruing from the Company securing the services of experienced and skilled Directors on appropriate incentive terms.

Consequences
No stamp duty will be payable in respect of the grant of the Options. No GST will be
payable by the Company in respect of the grant of the Options (or if it is then it will
be recoverable as an input credit).
AASB 2 “Share Based Payments” requires that these payments shall be measured
at the more readily determinable fair value of the equity instrument. Under the
accounting standards this amount will be expensed in the statement of financial
performance. Where the grant date and the vesting date are different the total
expenditure calculated will be allocated between the two dates taking into
account the terms and conditions attached to the instruments and the
counterparties as well as management’s assumptions about probabilities of
payments and compliance with and attainment of the set out terms and
conditions.

The Chair intends to vote any undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 7 to 9 to the extent he is permitted to by law.

Explanatory Memorandum

Resolution 10 – Approval to issue fully paid ordinary shares over a 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A

Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its Shares over a period up to 12 months after the entity’s annual general meeting ( 10% Additional Placement Capacity ). The 10% Additional Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of less than $300,000,000.

Accordingly, Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval to have the ability to issue Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Additional Placement Capacity.

If Resolution 10 is passed, the Directors will be able to issue Equity Securities in the Company for up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting ( Placement Securities ), calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Directors will be unable to issue Placement Securities under the Company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity and the Company will be unable to raise funds using the Company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity.

Resolution 10 is a Special Resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 10 for it to be passed. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A, no Placement Securities will be issued until and unless this Special Resolution is passed at the Meeting.

For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 10:

of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution
Period of
approval
The Placement Securities may be issued under the 10% Additional Placement
Capacity commencing on the date of the General Meeting and expiring on
the first to occur of the following:
(a)
the date that is 12 months after the date of the General Meeting;
(b)
the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; and
(c)
the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of any transaction
under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2.
Minimum
price
The minimum price at which the Placement Securities (which must be in an
existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities and issued for cash
consideration) may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average market
price of Equity Securities in the same class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days
on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
(a)
the date on which the price at which the relevant Placement Securities
are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the
Placement Securities; or
(b)
if the relevant Placement Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days
of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the relevant
Placement Securities are issued.

Placement Securities).
Risk of
economic
and voting
dilution
Any issue of Placement Securities under the 10% Additional Placement
Capacity will dilute the economic and voting interests of Shareholders who do
not receive any Equity Securities under the issue. If Resolution 10 is approved
by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity
Securities available under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity, the
economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table
below.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
(a)
the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be
significantly lower on the issue date of any Placement Securities than on
the date of the General Meeting; and
(b)
the Placement Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount
to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the date of
issue,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the
Placement Securities.
The table below displays the potential dilution of existing Shareholders
calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 on
the basis of three (3) different assumed issue prices and values for variable "A"

(f)
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution
against the issued share capital at the time of issue.
(g)
The issued capital has been calculated in accordance with the formula
in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at 23 October 2023 and as provided for by the
assumptions.
(h)
The issue price of the Placement Securities used in the table is the same
as the Share price and does not take into account any discount to the
share price (if any).
(i)
No Options or Rights are exercised into Shares before the date of the
issue of the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
(j)
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular
Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the
dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific
circumstances.
(k)
Only Shares will be issued under the 10% Additional Placement
Capacity.
Allocation
policy
The allottees of the Placement Securities to be issued under the 10% Additional
Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees
of Placement Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors
(or both), none of whom will be related parties or Associates of a related party
of the Company.
The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the
10% Additional Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
(a)
the purpose of the issue;
(b)
alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that
time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer
where existing Shareholders may participate;
(c)
the effect of the issue of the Placement Securities on the control of the
Company;
(d)
the Company’s circumstances, including, but not limited to, its financial
position and solvency;
(e)
prevailing market conditions; and
(f)
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

  1. If the Company receives a valid application for Consideration Options (Options for the purposes of this Annexure A) from Echo Vista Exploration Pty Ltd ( Eligible Participant ) or their nominee ( Applicant ), pursuant to the Agreement, at the discretion of the Board, the Company may grant the Applicant ( Option Holder ) Options on these terms and conditions.

The Options will expire on the Expiry Date unless exercised earlier.

  6. Once the Options are exercisable in accordance with clause 5, the Options can be exercised wholly or in part by delivering a duly completed form of notice of exercise, together with payment in cleared funds for the Exercise Price per Option to the Company, at any time on or after the Vesting Date and before the Expiry Date.

  7. Upon the valid exercise of the Options and payment of the Exercise Price, the Company will issue fully paid ordinary shares to the Option Holder, ranking pari passu with the issued ordinary shares in the Company at that date.

The Company will, where required pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules, provide the Option Holder with notice prior to the books record date (to determine entitlements to any new issue of securities made to shareholders generally) to exercise the Options, in accordance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules.

  9. The Option Holder does not participate in any dividends unless the Options are exercised and the resultant shares of the Company are issued prior to the record date to determine entitlements to the dividend.

  11. (a) the number of Options, the Exercise Price of the Options, or both will be reconstructed (as appropriate) in a manner consistent with the ASX Listing Rules as applicable at the time of reconstruction, but with the intention that such reconstruction will not result in any benefits being conferred on the holders of the Options which are not conferred on shareholders; and

  12. (b) subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by a meeting of shareholders approving a reconstruction of capital, in all other respects, the terms for the exercise of the Options will remain unchanged.

(a) Eligibility

The Board may, in its absolute discretion, invite an “Eligible Employee” to participate in the Plan. An “Eligible Employee” includes a director, senior executive, contractor consultant or employee of the Company ( Eligible Participants ).

(b) Purpose

The purpose of the Plan is to:

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

  • (2) attract quality Eligible Participants to the Company;

  • (3) enable the Eligible Participants to share the rewards of the future success of the Company;

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

  • (5) add wealth to all shareholders by motivating the Eligible Participants; and

  • (6) provide greater incentive for Eligible Participants to focus on the Company’s longer term goals.

(c)

Plan administration

(d) Eligibility, invitation and application

The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Awards on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Awards the subject of the invitation by confirming in writing their acceptance of the conditions of the grant of the Awards.

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

(e) Grant of Awards

The Company will, to the extent that it has allowed an Eligible Participant to participate in the Plan, grant the Participant the relevant number of Awards, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

31

Explanatory Memorandum

(f) Terms of Awards

Each Award represents a right to acquire one or more Shares under an option or performance right, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. An Eligible Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with an Award that has been granted to them unless otherwise determined by the Board.

(g) Vesting of Awards

Awards may be subject to exercise conditions, performance hurdles or vesting conditions. Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Awards will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Awards have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Awards will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to an Award are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Award will lapse.

(h) Exercise of Awards

Except in the case of Performance Rights, to exercise an Award, the participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company (unless the participant has exercised the Cashless Exercise Mechanism), at any time following vesting of the Award (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice.

A vested Performance Right will be automatically exercised.

An Award may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security (as that term is defined in the Plan rules) has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

(i) Cashless Exercise of Options

  • (1) The Plan provides that the Company may provide for a cashless exercise mechanism whereby, the Eligible Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the aggregate exercise price for the number of Options specified in an exercise notice (the Cashless Exercise Mechanism ).

  • (2) If a holder of an Option exercises the Cashless Exercise Mechanism:

  • (A) the Eligible Participant will not to be required to pay the applicable Exercise Price attributable to such number of Options for which Cashless Exercise Mechanism has been exercised; and

  • (B) the Company will, instead, only be required to issue to the Eligible Participant the number of Shares as calculated in accordance with the following formula:

A = O – ((O x E) / SP); and

SP is greater than E.

Where:

A = the number of Shares required to be issued by the Company;

32

Explanatory Memorandum

O = the number of Options for which the Cashless Exercise Mechanism has been exercised;

E = the Exercise Price for the Options for which the Cashless Exercise Mechanism has been exercised; and

SP = the volume weighted average market price (as defined in the Listing Rules) of Shares over the five (5) trading days during which Shares are traded immediately preceding (but excluding) the date of the exercise notice.

(j) Loan to Exercise Options

  • (1) The Company may loan money to an Eligible Participant who holds an Option for the amount of the Exercise Price, to enable the Eligible Participant to pay the Exercise Price for the Share on the exercise of the Option that has been issued pursuant under the Plan.

  • (2) Until the loan is repaid, the Company:

  • (A) may apply any dividends paid in respect of the Loan Shares (as that term is defined in the Plan rules) in satisfaction of any amounts outstanding under or in connection with the Loan;

  • (B) shall have a lien over the Loan Shares; and

  • (C) take any action available to it to prevent the transfer of the Loan Shares.

(k) Delivery of Shares on exercise of Awards

On completion of the exercise of the Awards:

  • (1) the Awards will automatically lapse;

  • (2) the Company will, within thirty (30) Business Days, allot and issue, or transfer, the number of Shares for which the Participant is entitled to subscribe for or acquire through the exercise of the Awards; and

  • (3) the Company will issue a substitute certificate for any remaining Awards.

(l) Lapse

Unvested Awards will generally lapse on the earlier of:

  • (1) the cessation of employment, engagement or office of the relevant person;

  • (2) the day the Board makes a determination that all unvested Awards and vested Awards of the relevant person will lapse because, in the opinion of the Board, a relevant person has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or is in material breach of his or her duties or obligations to the Company;

  • (3) if any applicable vesting conditions are not achieved by the relevant time;

  • (4) if the Board determines that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met and cannot be met by the date determined by the Board and as specified in the invitation ( Award Expiry Date ); and

33

Explanatory Memorandum

(5) the Award Expiry Date.

Where a participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company and they are a “Good Leaver” (as that term is defined in the Plan rules), and the Awards have vested, they will remain exercisable until the Awards lapse in accordance with the Plan rules or if they have not vested, the Board will determine as soon as reasonably practicable after the date the participant ceases to be employed or engaged, how many (if any) of those participant’s Awards will be deemed to have vested and be exercisable.

Where a participant becomes a “Bad Leaver” (as that term is defined in the Plan rules), all Awards, unvested or vested, will lapse on the date of the cessation of employment, engagement or office of that participant.

(m) Change of control

If a Change of Control Event (as that term is defined in the Plan rules) occurs, then the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine that:

  • (1) unvested Options will vest and become exercisable; and

  • (2) all or a percentage of unvested Performance Rights, as determined by the Board, will vest and become exercisable,

with such vesting deemed to have taken place immediately prior to the effective date of the Change of Control Event.

If a Change of Control Event occurs, a participant may exercise all or a portion of their Performance Rights which are vested and exercisable, as well as any unvested Performance Rights which shall become vested and exercisable in connection with the occurrence of such Change of Control Event as determined by the Board.

A participant shall be entitled to exercise, at any time within the 14-day period following the giving of such notice, all or a portion of those Options granted to such participant which are then vested and exercisable in accordance with their terms, as well as any unvested Options which shall become vested and exercisable in connection with the completion of such Change of Control Event.

(n) Rights attaching to Plan Shares

All Shares issued or transferred under the Plan or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of an Award ( Plan Shares ), will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares.

TO VOTE BY COMPLETING THE PROXY FORM

STEP 1 APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Indicate who you want to appoint as your Proxy.

If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.

STEP 3 SIGN THE FORM

The form must be signed as follows: Individual: This form is to be signed by the securityholder.

Joint Holding : where the holding is in more than one name, all the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: to sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry. Alternatively, attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

STEP 4 LODGEMENT

To appoint a second proxy you must:

(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.

(b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY

To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that 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 he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.
