4. Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of Placement Shares

4.1

General

On 21 December 2023, the Company announced a placement to raise up to $1,050,000 (before costs) ( Placement ) through the issue of 3,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at an issue price of $0.35 (35 cents) per share ( Placement Shares ). The Placement Shares were issued on 5 January 2024 utilising the Company’s placement capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares.

4.2

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions including ASX Listing Rule 7.1, issue or agree to issue during any twelve (12) month period

Page 8

any Equity Securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity, if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the share capital of the Company at the commencement of that twelve (12) month period.

The issue of the 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, 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 Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been ratified for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

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% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1 is passed, 3,000,000 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 is not passed, 3,000,000 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit in 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 3,000,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of the 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 Placement Shares:

  • (a) The Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and institutional investors. The participants in the Placement were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from clients of the Lead Managers ( Placement Participants ). There were no related parties, key management personnel, substantial shareholders, advisor or an associate of these persons who was issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company through the Placement.

  • (b) The 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.

  • (c) The Placement Shares were issued on 5 January 2024.

  • (d) The Placement Shares were issued at a price of $0.35 per Share.

  • (e) The proceeds of the Placement have been and will be used for working capital to fund retail partnerships and to further accelerate the Company’s growth through investment in a range of sales and marketing initiatives.

Page 9

  • (f) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the Placement Shares.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4.4 Additional information

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

5. Resolution 2 – Ratification of issue of Lead Manager Options

5.1

General

CPS Capital acted as lead manager to the Placement ( Lead Manager ) pursuant to a lead manager mandate entered into by the Company and the Lead Manager dated 20 December 2023 ( Lead Manager Mandate ).

In consideration for lead manager services for the Placement, the Company agreed to pay the Lead Manager fees comprising:

  • (a) a cash management fee of 2% (excluding GST) of the funds raised under the Placement;

  • (b) a placing fee of 4% excluding GST) of the funds raised under the Placement; and

  • (c) 3,000,000 Options which are exercisable at a price of $0.10 and expiring 3 years from the date of issue and will otherwise be issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2 ( Lead Manager Options ).

The Lead Manager Options were issued by the Company were issued on 5 January 2024 utilising the Company’s placement capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Accordingly, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 3,000,000 Lead Manager Options.

5.2

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions including ASX Listing Rule 7.1, issue or agree to issue during any twelve (12) month period any Equity Securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity, if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the share capital of the Company at the commencement of that twelve (12) month period.

The issue of the Lead Manager Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 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. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Lead Manager Options.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1

Page 10

(and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been ratified for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

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% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 2 is passed, 3,000,000 Lead Manager Options 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, 3,000,000 Lead Manager Options will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit in 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 3,000,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.

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 Lead Manager Options:

  • (a) The Lead Manager Options were be issued to the Lead Manager (or its nominees).

  • (b) The Company issued 3,000,000 Lead Manager Options.

  • (c) The Lead Manager Options are exercisable at a price of $0.10 and expire on 5 January 2027, being 3 years from the date of issue and were otherwise issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2.

  • (d) The Lead Manager Options were issued on 5 January 2024.

  • (e) The Lead Manager Options were issued as partial consideration for lead manager services provided in connection with the Placement. Accordingly, nil cash was paid in consideration for the Lead Manager Options.

  • (f) A summary of the material terms of the Lead Manager Mandate is set out in Section 5.1 above.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5.4 Additional information

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6. Resolution 3 – Approval to increase the Company's Non-Executive Directors' Fee Pool

6.1 General

Listing Rule 10.17 provides that the Company must not increase the aggregate fee pool for Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration ( Fee Pool ) without the approval of Shareholders.

Page 11

Directors’ fees include all fees payable by the entity or any of its child entities to a nonexecutive director for acting as a director of the entity or any of its child entities (including attending and participating in any board committee meetings), superannuation contributions for the benefit of a non-executive director and any fees which a non-executive director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits. It does not include reimbursement of genuine out of pocket expenses, genuine “special exertion” fees paid in accordance with an entity’s constitution, or securities issued to a non-executive director under Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 with the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities.

It is proposed that the Fee Pool be increased from A$250,000 to A$350,000 per annum (an increase of A$100,000), effective from conclusion of this Meeting. The Fee Pool is inclusive of statutory entitlements (including superannuation).

The Board considers that the proposed increase in the Fee Pool will provide the Company with greater flexibility in providing remuneration for non-executive directors that is consistent with current market based payments. In particular, the Company expects that an increased Fee Pool will enable it to:

  • (a) maintain market competitiveness by enabling future increases to be made to the remuneration of non-executive directors;

  • (b) maintain a sufficient reserve in the Fee Pool in order to continue to attract new and appropriately skilled and qualified non-executive directors to the Company; and

  • (c) recruit high calibre non-executive directors to fill any casual vacancies which arise on the Board from time to time.

The Board does not intend to increase the remuneration of the existing Directors in the current financial year.

The following disclosures are made for the purposes of ASX Listing Rules 14.1A and 10.17:

  • (a) the amount of the increase to the Fee Pool is A$100,000;

  • (b) the maximum aggregate amount of directors’ fees that may be paid to all of the Company's Non-Executive Directors is A$350,000;

  • (c) in the three years before the date of this Notice, the below securities have been issued to Non-Executive Directors with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14

Name of Non-
Executive

Page 12

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Fee Pool will be increased to A$350,000. If the Resolution is not passed, the Fee Pool limit will remain as A$250,000.

6.2 Board Recommendation

Given the interest of the Non-Executive Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.

7. Resolution 4 – Approval of issue of Advisory Options

7.1 General

On 15 March 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with CPS Capital Pty Ltd ( CPS Capital ) for the provision of advisory services to the Company. In consideration for these services, the Company agreed to issue 18 million unlisted options exercisable at $0.10 with a 3 year expiry from the date of issue ( Advisory Options ), subject to obtaining Shareholder approval. The Advisory Options are subject to the following vesting conditions:

  • (a) 6 million options vest immediately upon issue;

  • (b) 6 million options vest on the undiluted market capitalisation of the Company reaching $150 million based on a 20 day Volume Weighted Average Share Price (VWAP) within 18 months of issue; and

  • (c) 6 million options vest on the undiluted market capitalisation of the Company reaching $250 million based on a 20 day Volume Weighted Average Share Price (VWAP) within 18 months of issue.

Accordingly, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue 18,000,000 Advisory Options to CPS Capital for advisory services provided to the Company.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Advisory Options. In addition, the Advisory Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Advisory Options. In the event that the Company cannot issue the Advisory Options, it may be required to negotiate alternative forms of remuneration to be paid to CPS Capital as consideration for its services, which may include the payment of cash in lieu of the Options.

7.4 Additional information

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

8. Resolution 5 – Adoption of Employee Securities Incentive Plan

8.1

General

Resolution 5 seeks shareholder approval for the adoption of an employee incentive scheme, being the Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ). A summary of the Plan is set out in Schedule 4 and a copy of the Plan can be provided upon request to the Company.

The maximum aggregate number of securities that may be issued without further shareholder approval under the Plan is 10,000,000. The proposed issue of Incentive Options the subject of Resolutions 6A and 6B are in addition to the maximum number of securities that may be issued under the Plan without further shareholder approval.

8.2

ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2, exception 13(b)

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires that shareholder approval is required for an issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the entity during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13 provides an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for securities issued under an employee incentive scheme within 3 years of shareholder approval of the scheme. The Company therefore seeks approval of the Plan for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13 so that issues of securities under the Plan do not impede the capacity of the Company to issue up to a further 15% of its capital without shareholder approval.

A Summary of the terms of the Plan is set out in Schedule 4.

Page 14

The Company has not issued any securities under the Plan. The Company has, however, issued securities under its existing incentive scheme that was approved by Shareholders on 28 October 2022 ( Prior Plan ). The number of securities issued under the Prior Plan was 4,500,000 options, which were issued to consultants and employees.

The Company proposes issuing the securities the subject of Resolution 6A and 6B under the Plan.

In addition to the securities described above, the Company may in future issue further securities under the Plan. The maximum aggregate number of securities that may be issued without further shareholder approval under the Plan is 10,000,000. The proposed issue of Incentive Options the subject of Resolution 6A and 6B are in addition to the maximum number of securities that may be issued under the Plan without further shareholder approval.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue up to a maximum of 10,000,000 Equity Securities under the Plan pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), to eligible participants over a period of three years without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

However, any future issues of Equity Securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, any issue of Equity Securities pursuant to New Plan must either be undertaken using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, or with prior Shareholder approval.

A voting exclusion statement as set out in the Notice applies to this Resolution 5.

Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

9. Resolution 6A and 6B – Approval to issue Incentive Options

9.1

General

Under Resolution 6A and 6B, the Company seeks shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and for all other purposes to issue an aggregate of 3,000,000 unlisted options ( Incentive Options ) to Directors of the Company (and/or their nominee(s)) as set out below.

RESOLUTION RECIPIENT NUMBER OF INCENTIVE OPTIONS
6A David Brudenell 2,000,000
6B Adrian Bunter 1,000,000
TOTAL 3,000,000

The Company agreed, subject to receipt of shareholder approval, to issue the Incentive Options in connection with the respective appointments of Mr Brudenell and Mr Bunter as announced on 15 March 2024.

Page 15

The Incentive Options have an exercise price of $0.75 (75 cents), expiring 3 years from the issue date and which, upon exercise, entitle the holder to one fully paid ordinary share in the Company. The full terms of the Incentive Options are set out in Schedule 5. The Incentive Options are not subject to any vesting condition(s). A summary of the terms of the Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) is set out in Schedule 4 and the Company proposes to issue the Incentive Options under the Plan.

Resolution 6A and 6B (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of the Incentive Options to the relevant Directors (or their nominees) under the Plan.

9.2 Listing Rule 10.14

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.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Incentive Options as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of the Incentive Options to the Directors (or their nominees) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 or the maximum permitted number of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b).

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 6A and 6B (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue the Incentive Options to the Directors (or their nominees).

If Resolution 6A and 6B (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant number of Incentive Options that are not approved by Shareholders, and the Company will have to consider alternative commercial means to incentivise the Directors.

9.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15

The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15:

  • (a) The names of the proposed recipients and the maximum number of securities (being Incentive Options) to be acquired by each person (and/or their nominee(s)) for whom approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 is sought under Resolutions 6A and 6B is set out in Section 9.1.

  • (b) Each of proposed recipients of Incentive Options are Directors and are therefore persons to whom ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 applies with respect to the proposed issue of the Incentive Options under the Plan. In the event the Incentive Options are issued to a nominee of the Directors, that person will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.2.

Page 16

  • (c) Details of the total remuneration packages of each of the proposed recipients of Incentive Options the subject of Resolution 6A and 6B (inclusive) are set out below:
Proposed recipient Gross Cash Salary (exclusive of
superannuation)

  • (d) Each of the proposed recipients have not been issued any securities under the Plan, which is proposed for adoption by Shareholders under Resolution 5.

  • (e) A summary of the key commercial terms of the Incentive Options are set out in the table below:

Exercise Price Vesting Date Expiry Date
$0.75 On issue 3 years from issue

The full terms of Incentive Options are set out in Schedule 5 to this Explanatory Memorandum. The Incentive Options are proposed to be issued as incentive securities to reasonably remunerate each of the recipients. Options were chosen as a means of preserving cash reserves in the Company whilst providing valuable remuneration to each of the proposed recipients.

  • (f) A Black-Scholes valuation (100% volatility, 3.7% risk free rate and 0% dividend yield) of the Incentive Options as at 19 April 2024 attributed a value to each Incentive Option of $0.51748, resulting in an aggregate value of $1,034,960 and $517,480 for the Incentive Options to be issued to Mr Brudenell and Mr Bunter respectively.

  • (g) The Incentive Options are proposed to be issued shortly after the Meeting and, in any event, no later than three years after the date of the Meeting.

  • (h) No funds are payable for the issue of the Incentive Options, which are being issued as Incentive Options to reasonably remunerate each of the recipients for their respective roles with the Company.

  • (i) The material terms of the Plan are set out in Schedule 4 to this Explanatory Memorandum.

  • (j) No loan is to be made in connection with the Incentive Options.

  • (k) The Company confirms the following:

  • (i) Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period within which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

  • (ii) Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after Resolution 6A and B are approved and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.

Page 17

  • (l) A voting exclusion for Resolution 6A and B is contained in the Notice which this Explanatory Memorandum accompanies.

9.4

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.

The proposed issue of the Incentive Options constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.

The Directors (as at the date of agreeing to issue the Incentive options) deemed that the Incentive Options constitute reasonable remuneration payable to Mr Brudenell and Mr Bunter, and therefore fall within the exception stipulated by section 211 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Performance Rights.

In reaching this view, the Directors considered the respective positions and responsibilities of Mr Brudenell and Mr Bunter, the Company’s reliance on a limited number of personnel, the need for the Company to effectively incentivise its Directors while aligning the incentive with increasing shareholder value, the desirability of preserving cash resources within the Company, and the terms of the Incentive Options. The Company considers that the issue of the Incentive Options is an effective tool which preserves the cash reserves of the Company whilst providing valuable consideration for the Directors.

9.5 Additional information

Resolution 6A and B (inclusive) are ordinary resolutions. The Board (other than Messrs Brudenell and Bunter who have a personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6A and B (inclusive).

Schedule 4 Summary of employee securities incentive plan

A summary of the terms 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

  • (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.

Page 26

  • (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.

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.

Page 27

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.

  • (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.

Page 28

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.
