Background
4.1 Fenix Project Earn-in
On 17 May 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement ( Earn-in Agreement ) with Northex Capital Partners Inc ( Northex ), an unrelated party of the Company, for a right to earn up to an 80% legal and beneficial interest ( Earn-in Interest ) in the mining claims that comprise the Fenix Uranium Project in Nunavut, Canada ( Earn-in ).
The key terms of the Earn-in Agreement are summarised below:
- (a) Earn-in
The upfront consideration comprises:
-
(i) C$50,000 in cash; and
-
(ii) the issue 2,211,089 of Shares (being $C100,000 in Shares based on a deemed issue price equal to the VWAP of the Shares over the 20 trading days immediately prior to the date of the agreement), the subject of Resolution 4 ( Consideration Shares ),
(together, the Upfront Consideration ).
Thereafter, the Company may earn the Earn-in Interest by:
-
(i) spending C$1,000,000 on exploration at the Fenix Uranium Project within 3 years of payment of the Upfront Consideration ( Expenditure Requirement ); and
-
(ii) upon satisfying the Expenditure Requirement:
-
(A) paying C$100,000 in cash; and
-
(B) subject to Shareholder approval, issuing C$100,000 in shares at a deemed issue price equal to the 20-Day VWAP of the Company’s Shares over the 20 trading days immediately prior to the date of issue.
-
-
(b)
Conditions Precedent
The Earn-in is subject to Shareholders approving the issue of Consideration Shares under Resolution 4.
- (c) Joint Venture
A joint venture will be formed between the Company and Northex upon the Company earning the Earn-in Interest and the parties will negotiate a formal joint venture agreement.
The Earn-in Agreement otherwise contains additional provisions considered customary for agreements of this nature.

3466-2528-4654, v. 3
4.2 Placement
In conjunction with the Earn-in, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments for a placement to raise up to approximately $1,010,670 (before costs) through the issue of up to 23,780,513 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.0425 per Share ( Placement ).
The Placement is being undertaken in the following tranches:
-
(a) the issue of 13,898,162 Shares issued on 21 May 2024, comprising:
-
(i) 8,150,662 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) 5,747,500 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A,
the subject of Resolution 1(a) and (b) respectively ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares );
-
(b) 6,352,941 Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, the subject of Resolution 2 ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ); and
-
(c) the issue of 3,529,411 Placement Shares ( Director Placement Shares ) to participating Directors (the subject of Resolution 3(a) and (b)).
The Company did not appoint a lead manager to the Placement. The Company is seeking shareholder approval under Resolution 5 for the issue of up to 2,500,000 Options ( Broker Options ) to various brokers who assisted with the Placement. The Broker Options will have an exercise price of $0.08 each and an expiry date of 3 years from the date of issue.
5. Resolution 1(a) and (b) – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares
5.1 General
The background of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares is in Section 4.2 above.
Resolution 1(a) and (b) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the 13,898,261 Tranche 1 Placement shares.
5.2
Listing Rule 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, 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 Annual General Meeting held on 31 October 2023.
Page 10
3466-2528-4654, v. 3
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, 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 those Listing Rules for the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 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 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% additional 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, 8,150,662 Tranche 1 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, 8,150,662 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 8,150,662 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Placement Shares.
If Resolution 1(b) is passed, 5,747,500 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 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, 5,747,500 Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 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 5,747,500 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Placement Shares (and assuming the Company's approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).
5.3 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 Tranche 1 Placement Shares:
- (a) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to new and existing sophisticated and professional investors ( Tranche 1 Placement Participants ), none of whom is a related party of the Company or a Material Investor. The Tranche 1 Placement Participants were
Page 11
3466-2528-4654, v. 3
identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Company seeking expressions of interest from new and existing contacts of the Company.
-
(b) A total of 13,898,261 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A in the proportions set out in Section 4.2.
-
(c) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares are fully paid and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
-
(d) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 21 May 2024 at an issue price of $0.0425 each.
-
(e) The proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares have been or are intended to be used:
-
(i) to pay the cash component of the Upfront Consideration;
-
(ii) to undertake exploration activities at the Fenix Uranium Project;
-
(iii) pay the costs of the Placement; and
-
(iv) for general working capital purposes.
-
(f) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
-
(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.
5.4 Additional information
Resolution 1(a) and (b) are separate ordinary resolutions.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1(a) and (b).
6. Resolution 2 – Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares
6.1 General
The background to the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares is in Section 4.2 above.
Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to approve the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.
6.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in Section 5.2 above.
Page 12
3466-2528-4654, v. 3
The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares, will not receive ~$270,000 from the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.
6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares:
-
(a) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to new and existing sophisticated and professional investors ( Tranche 2 Placement Participants ), none of whom is a related party of the Company or a Material Investor. The Tranche 2 Placement Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Company seeking expressions of interest from new and existing contacts of the Company.
-
(b) A maximum of 6,352,941 Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued.
-
(c) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.
-
(d) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.
-
(e) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued at $0.0425 each.
-

-
(g) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.
-
(h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
6.4 Additional information

Page 13
3466-2528-4654, v. 3
7. Resolution 3 – Approval to issue Director Placement Shares
7.1 General
The background to the proposed issue of Director Placement Shares is in Section 4.2 above.
Certain Directors and their related parties wish to participate in the Placement to the extent of subscribing for up to 3,529,410 Director Placement Shares at $0.0425 per Share to raise $150,000 (before costs) in the following proportions:
| Director | Amount Committed to the Placement |
Director Placement Shares |
|---|---|---|
| James Bahen (Non- Executive Director) |
$50,000 | 1,176,470 |
| Jeremy Robinson (Executive Chairman) |
$100,000 | 2,352,940(1) |
| Total | $150,000 | 3,529,410 |
Resolution 3(a) and (b) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of 1,176,470 Placement Shares to Mr James Bahen (or his nominee/s) and 2,352,940 Placement Shares to Churchill SIG Pty Ltd (or its nominee/s), an entity controlled by Mr Jeremy Robinson.
7.2 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following persons without the approval of its Shareholders:
-
(a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
-
(e) a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1
Page 14
3466-2528-4654, v. 3
or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).
Mr James Bahen and Mr Jeremy Robinson are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of these Director Placement Shares to Mr Bahen and Churchill SIG Pty Ltd (or its nominee/s), an entity controlled by Mr Robinson, will not be included in the Company's 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolutions 5(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Shares as part of the Placement, raising up to $150,000 (before costs) for the Company.

10.1 General
The Company is proposing to, subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval, vary the terms and conditions of the 2,000,000 Performance Rights currently held by the Directors (or their respective nominee/s) ( Director Performance Rights ). The Director Performance Rights were issued under the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan, a summary of which is included in Schedule 4.
Shareholder approval for Director Performance Rights was obtained at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on 31 October 2023. The Director Performance Rights were issued on 10
Page 19
3466-2528-4654, v. 3
November 2023. A summary of the terms of the Director Performance Rights can be found in Schedule 3. The Director Performance Rights are held as follows:
| Director | Director Performance Rights |
|---|---|
| Jeremy Robinson (Executive Chairman) | 500,000 |
| James Bahen (Non-Executive Director) | 500,000 |
| Matthew Freedman (former Non- Executive Director) |
500,000 |
| Leo Horn (Non-Executive Director) | 500,000 |
As at the date of this Notice, none of the Director Performance Rights have vested. In light of the Earn-in of the Fenix Uranium Project, the Company is proposing to amend the vesting conditions of the Performance Rights in accordance with the table below:
| Performance Rights |
Existing Milestones | New Milestones |
|---|---|---|
| 2,000,000 | The Company, prior to the Vesting Date, delineating at least one drill intercept of not less than 10 metres of either: (a) Li2O with a minimum grade of 1% Li2O; (b) CuEq with a minimum grade of 1% CuEq; or (c) TREO with a minimum grade of 1% TREO, as verified by an independent Competent Person under the JORC Code 2012 at any of the Company’s projects. |
The Company, prior to the Vesting Date, delineating at least one drill intercept of not less than 10 metres of either: (a) Li2O with a minimum grade of 1% Li2O; (b) CuEq with a minimum grade of 1% CuEq; (c) TREO with a minimum grade of 1% TREO; or (d) U3O8 with a minimum grade of 1% U3O8, as verified by an independent Competent Person under the JORC Code 2012 at any of the Company’s projects. |
Page 20
3466-2528-4654, v. 3
The Director Performance Rights were issued to provide a performance based component of the respective Directors’ remuneration packages. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to introduce a performance milestone relevant to the Company’s proposed earn-in of the Fenix Uranium Project. The Performance Rights automatically lapse if the vesting condition has not been satisfied by 10 November 2024.
Former Non-Executive Director, Matthew Freedman, resigned on 21 March 2024. In accordance with the terms of the terms of the Director Performance Rights and the Plan, the Board exercised its discretion to permit the Director Performance Rights held by Mr Freedman to remain on issue.
The full terms and conditions of the Director Performance Rights (as amended) are summarised in Schedule 3.
The Board believes it is important to amend the terms of the Director Performance Rights to accommodate the acquisition of the Fenix Uranium Project. By offering attainable Director Performance Rights, the Company will continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 6.23.4 to amend the terms of the Director Performance Rights under the Plan.
10.2 Listing Rule 6.23.3 and 6.23.4
Listing Rule 6.23.3 prohibits a change to the terms of options which has the effect of reducing the exercise price, increasing the period for exercise or increasing the number of securities on exercise. It is the view of the Board that the amendments sought under Resolution 6 to the terms and conditions of the Director Performance Rights are not prohibited.
Listing Rule 6.23.4 provides that a change to the terms of any existing grant of options (including performance rights), which is not prohibited under Listing Rule 6.23.3, can only be made if Shareholders approve the change.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to amend the vesting conditions of the Director Performance Rights under the Plan.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not amend the vesting conditions of the Director Performance Rights under the Plan, and the terms and conditions of the Plan approved by Shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on 31 October 2023 will remain on foot.
10.3 Section 195 of the Corporations Act
Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of directors from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section
Page 21
3466-2528-4654, v. 3
195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may deal with the matter.
The Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 6 and have exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the Salary Share Rights to the Directors to Shareholders to resolve upon
10.4 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:

(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.
The amendments to the vesting conditions of the Director Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company. Accordingly, the Directors are considered to have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 6, in which case the Directors are unable to form a quorum to determine whether the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in respect of the proposed amendments to the terms of the Director Performance Rights pursuant to Resolution 6.

Existing relevant interest of the Directors
At the date of this Notice, the Directors hold the following relevant interests in Equity Securities of the Company:
| Director | Shares | Options | Performance Rights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeremy Robinson | 3,338,750 | 500,000 | 500,000 |
| James Bahen | 1,135,180 | Nil | 500,000 |
Page 23
3466-2528-4654, v. 3
| Director | Shares | Options | Performance Rights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matthew Freedman2 |
1,027,750 | Nil | 500,000 |
| Leo Horn | 1,450,000 | Nil | 833,334 |
Assuming that Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders, all of the Director Performance Rights are vested and exercised into Shares, and no other Equity Securities are issued or exercised, the respective interests of the Directors in the Company would be as follows:
-
(i) Mr Robinson’s interest would represent approximately 5.23%;
-
(ii) Mr Bahen’ interest would represent approximately 2.23%;
-
(iii) Mr Freedman’s (former Director) interest would represent approximately 2.08%; and
-
(iv) Mr Horn’s interest would represent approximately 2.66%,
of the Company's issued Share capital in the Company (based on the Share capital as at the date of this Notice).
The Directors actual interest in the Company at the date the Director Performance Rights are converted into Shares will depend on the extent that additional Shares are issued by the Company.
- (g)
Dilution
The conversion of the Director Performance Rights will have a diluting effect on the percentage interest of existing Shareholders' holdings if the Director Performance Rights vest and are exercised. The potential dilution if all Director Performance Rights vest and are exercised into Shares is 2.73%. This figure assumes the current Share capital structure as at the date of this Notice and that no Shares are issued other than the Shares issued on exercise of the Director Performance Rights.
The exercise of all of the Director Performance Rights will result in a total dilution of all other Shareholders' holdings of 2.41% on a fully diluted basis (assuming that all other existing Securities on issue are exercised).
The actual dilution will depend on the extent that additional Shares are issued by the Company.
(h) Trading history
The highest and lowest closing market sale prices of the Shares on ASX during the 12 months prior to the date of this Notice were:
- Highest : $0.58 per Share on 21 August 2023
Page 24
3466-2528-4654, v. 3
Lowest : $0.039 per Share on 5, 12. 14, 17 and 19 June 2024

(i)
Taxation consequences
There are no taxation consequences for the Company arising from the issue of the Director Performance Rights (including fringe benefits tax).

Schedule 4 Summary of the Plan
A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Plan is set out below:
-
(a) ( Eligible Participant ): Eligible Participant means a person that has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time and is an “ESS participant” (as that term is defined in Division 1A) in relation to the Company or an associated entity of the Company. This relevantly includes, amongst others:
-
(i) an employee or director of the Company or an individual who provides services to the Company;
-
(ii) an employee or director of an associated entity of the Company or an individual who provides services to such an associated entity;
-
(iii) a prospective person to whom paragraphs (i) or (ii) apply;
-
(iv) a person prescribed by the relevant regulations for such purposes; or
-
(v) certain related persons on behalf of the participants described in paragraphs (i) to (iv) (inclusive).
-
(b) ( Maximum allocation ): The Company must not make an offer of Securities under the Plan in respect of which monetary consideration is payable (either upfront, or on exercise of convertible securities) where:
-
(i) the total number of Plan Shares (as defined in paragraph (m) below) that may be issued or acquired upon exercise of the convertible securities offered; plus
-
(ii) the total number of Plan Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made under the Plan at any time during the previous 3 year period,
would exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer or such other limit as may be specified by the relevant regulations or the Company’s Constitution from time to time.
The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13 will be as approved by Shareholders from time to time ( ASX Limit ). This means that, subject to the following paragraph, the Company may issue up to the ASX Limit under the Plan without seeking Shareholder approval and without reducing its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company will require prior Shareholder approval for the acquisition of equity securities under the Plan to Directors, their associates and any other person whose relationship with the Company or a Director or a Director’s associate is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by Shareholders. The issue of Securities with Shareholder approval will not count towards the ASX Limit.
-
(c) ( Purpose ): The purpose of the Plan is to:
-
(i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
-
(ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and
Page 34
3466-2528-4654, v. 3
-
(iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
-
(d) ( 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, subject to compliance with applicable laws and the Listing Rules. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
-
(e) ( 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 Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. An invitation issued under the Plan will comply with the disclosure obligations pursuant to Division 1A.
On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. 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.
A waiting period of at least 14 days will apply to acquisitions of Securities for monetary consideration as required by the provisions of Division 1A.
-
(f) ( Grant of Securities ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the successful applicant ( Participant ) the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
-
(g) ( Terms of Convertible Securities ): Each ‘Convertible Security’ represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.
-
(h) ( Vesting of Convertible Securities ): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities 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 Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
-
(i) ( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.
Page 35
3466-2528-4654, v. 3
At the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, and subject to Board approval, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
-
(j) ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
-
(k) ( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.
Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:
-
(i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and
-
(ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.
-
(l) ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
-
(m) ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( 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.
Page 36
3466-2528-4654, v. 3
-
(n) ( Disposal restrictions on Securities ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares or Convertible Securities 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.
-
(o) ( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
-
(p) ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
-
(q) ( 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 Securities 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 or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
- (r) ( Plan duration ): The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
