3.1
Resolution 1 – Ratification of January Placement Shares
Background
On 22 January 2025, the Company announced that it had secured commitments to raise $1,050,000 (before costs) through a two-tranche placement of 105,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.01 per Share comprising:
-
(a) 100,000,000 Shares to unrelated sophisticated investors utilising the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A ( January Placement Shares ); and
-
(b) 5,000,000 Shares to Mr Mark Burke, the previous Managing Director of the Company, subject to Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 ( Director Placement Shares ),
(together, the January Placement ).
Page 7
3440-2772-6650, v. 4
The Company issued the January Placement Shares on 23 January 2025 as follows:
-
(c) 29,234,258 January Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(d) 70,765,742 January Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Company issued the Director Placement Shares to Mr Mark Burke on 18 March 2025 following the receipt Shareholder approval at a general meeting of Shareholders held on 24 February 2025.
Resolution 1(a) and Resolution 1(b) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the January Placement Shares.
3.2
Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its 2024 annual general meeting held on 22 November 2024.
The issue of the January Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, and effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12-month period following the issue of the January Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1(a) and Resolution 1(b) will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1(a) is passed, 29,234,258 January Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1(a) is not passed, 29,234,258 January Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 29,234,258 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those January Placement Shares.
Page 8
3440-2772-6650, v. 4
If Resolution 1(b) is passed, 70,765,742 January Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's additional 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1(b) is not passed, 70,765,742 January Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's additional 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 70,765,742 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those January Placement Shares (and assuming the Company's approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).
3.3 Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the January Placement Shares:
-
(a) The January Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated investors, none of whom are a related party or a Material Investor of the Company. The participants in the January Placement were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved seeking expressions of interest to participate in the January Placement from new and existing contacts of the Company.
-
(b) A total of 100,000,000 January Placement Shares were issued utilising the Company’s available Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A placement capacity as follows:
-
(i) 29,234,258 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) 70,765,742 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
(c) The January Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.

4. Resolution 2 – Ratification of February Placement Shares
4.1
Background
On 21 February 2025, the Company announced that it had secured commitments to raise $700,000 (before costs) through a placement of 70,000,000 Shares ( February Placement Shares ) to unrelated sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.01 per February Placement Share ( February Placement ).
The Company issued the February Placement Shares on 21 February 2025 utilising the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the February Placement Shares.
4.2
Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 are set out in Section 3.2 above.
The issue of the February Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, and effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12-month period following the issue of the February Placement Shares.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 2 is passed, 70,000,000 February Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, 70,000,000 February Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 70,000,000 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those February Placement Shares.
4.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the February Placement Shares:
- (a) The February Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated investors, none of whom are a related party or a Material Investor of the Company.

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of its Shareholders:
-
(a) a director of the entity (Listing Rule 10.14.1);
-
(b) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 (Listing Rule 10.14.2); and
-
(c) a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by Shareholders.
The proposed issue of the MD Incentive Securities falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 (or Listing Rule 10.14.2 if Mr Dickson Leah elects for the MD Incentive Securities to be issued to his nominee/s) and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 10.11 is not required.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue the MD Incentive Securities to Mr Leah (or his nominee/s).
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the MD Incentive Securities and the Company may have to consider alternative commercial means to incentivise Mr Leah, which may include incentives in the form of cash bonuses.
5.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the MD Incentive Securities:
-
(a) The MD Incentive Securities will be issued under the Plan to Mr Dickson Leah (or his nominee/s).
-
(b) Mr Leah is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company and falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1. In the event the MD Incentive Securities are issued to a nominee of the Mr Leah, that person will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.2.
-
(c) A maximum of 16,000,000 MD Incentive Securities, comprising:
-
(i) 13,000,000 MD Performance Rights; and
-
(ii) 3,000,000 MD Options,
Page 14
3440-2772-6650, v. 4
will be issued to Mr Leah (or his nominee/s).
-
(d) Mr Leah’s current total remuneration package as at the date of this Notice consists of a cash salary of $180,000 per annum (excluding superannuation).
-
(e) The Company has not issued any Securities to Mr Leah under the Plan.
-
(f) The MD Performance Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2.
-
(g) The MD Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3.
-
(h) The Board considers that the MD Incentive Securities are an appropriate form of incentive because they reward Mr Leah for their ongoing support to the Company. Additionally, the issue of Performance Rights and Options instead of cash is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves.
-
(i) An independent valuation of the MD Incentive Securities is in Schedule 4.
-
(j) The MD Incentive Securities are intended to be issued to Mr Leah (or his nominee/s) as soon as practicable following the receipt of approval at the Meeting and in any event, will be issued no later than three years after the date of the Meeting if the required approval is received.
-
(k) The MD Incentive Securities will be issued for nil cash consideration and will be provided as an incentive component of Mr Leah’s remuneration package.

-
(n) Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.
-
(o) Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after Resolution 3 is approved and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.
-
(p) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
5.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
Page 15
3440-2772-6650, v. 4
The proposed issue of the MD Incentive Securities constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
The Directors (other than Mr Dickson Leah who has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 3) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the MD Incentive Securities, because the issue of the MD Incentive Securities constitutes reasonable remuneration payable to Mr Leah and therefore falls within the exception stipulated by section 211 of the Corporations Act.
5.5
Additional information
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board (other than Mr Dickson Leah who has a personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
6. Resolution 4 – Renewed approval of Plan
6.1
General
The Company considers that it is desirable to maintain an employee incentive scheme pursuant to which the Company can issue Equity Securities to attract, motivate and retain key Directors, employees and consultants and provide them with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
Under the Plan, the Board may offer to eligible persons the opportunity to subscribe for such number of Equity Securities in the Company as the Board may decide and on the terms set out in the rules of the Plan, a summary of the materials terms of which is in Schedule 5. In addition, a copy of the Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Joint Company Secretaries. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
Shareholders previously approved the issue of up to 10,000,000 Equity Securities under the Plan at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 28 November 2023 ( 2023 AGM ). As at the date of this Notice, the Company has in aggregate, 1,105,657,429 Equity Securities on issue.
As the 10,000,000 Equity Securities previously approved by Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b) comprise approximately 0.9% of the total Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice, the Board considers the current number of approved Equity Securities inhibits the Company’s ability to rely on Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b) and utilise the Plan, and therefore the Company is seeking renewed approval from Shareholders at the Meeting to increase the maximum number of Equity Securities than can be issued under the Plan in reliance of Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b) to 110,000,000.
6.2
Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.2, exception 13(b)
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A are in Section 3.2.
Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A such that issues of Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of three years from the date on which Shareholders approve the issue of Equity Securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. Listing Rule 7.2, exception
Page 16
3440-2772-6650, v. 4
13(b), ceases to be available to the Company if there is a material change to the terms of the Plan from those set out in this Notice in Schedule 5.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue up to 110,000,000 Equity Securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of three years pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 or additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to issue up to 110,000,000 Equity Securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of three years pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 or additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
6.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b)
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), the following information is provided in relation to the Plan:
-
(a) A summary of the material terms of the Plan is in Schedule 5.
-
(b) Since the Plan was last approved by Shareholders at the 2023 AGM, the Company has issued 15,000,000 Options, which were issued to previous Directors of the Company (or their nominees) on 1 December 2023 following the receipt of Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the 2023 AGM.
-
(c) The maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), following approval of Resolution 4 shall not exceed 110,000,000 (subject to adjustment in the event of a reorganisation of capital and further subject to applicable laws and the Listing Rules). This number comprises approximately 10% of the Company's Equity Securities currently on issue.
The maximum number of Equity Securities is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number to be issued under the Plan but is specified for the purpose of setting a ceiling in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b). It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Equity Securities for which approval is obtained will be issued immediately.
- (d) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
6.4 Additional Information
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 4 due to the Directors’ personal interests in the outcome of the Resolution.

Schedule 5 Summary of material terms of the Plan
A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Plan is set out below. The Plan enables eligible persons to be granted Options and/or Performance Rights ( Awards ).
(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:
-
(i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
-
(ii) attract quality Eligible Participants to the Company;
-
(iii) enable the Eligible Participants to share the rewards of the future success of the Company;
-
(iv) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation;
-
(v) add wealth to all shareholders by motivating the Eligible Participants;
-
(vi) and provide greater incentive for Eligible Participants to focus on the Company’s longer term goals.
(c) Plan administration
The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
(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.

3440-2772-6650, v. 4
(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.
(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
-
(i) 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 ).
-
(ii) 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:
Page 30
3440-2772-6650, v. 4
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;
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
-
(i) 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.
-
(ii) 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:
-
(i) the Awards will automatically lapse;
-
(ii) 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
-
(iii) the Company will issue a substitute certificate for any remaining Awards.
Page 31
3440-2772-6650, v. 4
(l) Lapse
Unvested Awards will generally lapse on the earlier of:
-
(i) the cessation of employment, engagement or office of the relevant person;
-
(ii) 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;
-
(iii) if any applicable vesting conditions are not achieved by the relevant time;
-
(iv) 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
-
(v) 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:
-
(i) unvested Options will vest and become exercisable; and
-
(ii) 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
Page 32
3440-2772-6650, v. 4
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. A participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
(o) Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares
If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the participant with this restriction.
For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over, that Plan Share.
(p) Adjustment for variation of capital
If there are variations to the Share capital of the Company, including a variation or rights issue, sub-division, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of Share capital, a demerger (in whatever form) or other distribution in specie, the Board may:
-
(i) adjust the number of Options to which a Participant is entitled, and/or the Exercise Price (if any) of the Options in accordance with the Listing Rules; or
-
(ii) adjust the number of Performance Rights to which a Participant is entitled in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.
(q) Participation in new issues
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Awards and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares during the currency of the Awards without exercising the Awards.
(r)
Amendment of Plan
Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Awards have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation, to correct manifest error or mistake or to allow the implementation of a trust arrangement in
