SPECIAL BUSINESS
Resolutions 4 and 5 Grant of Options to Directors
Shareholder approval is being sought in Resolutions 4 and 5 to grant a total of 6,100,000 Options to the Executive Directors of the Company (Mr Martin Kavanagh and Dr Leon Pretorius). 50% of the options will vest immediately on grant, the remaining 50% of the options will vest on 1 July 2010. The terms and conditions are set out in Annexure A which forms part of this Explanatory Statement.
The grant of Options is designed to encourage the recipients to have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company's objectives and to provide an incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through share ownership. Half of the Options do not vest immediately, but vest in approximately 20 months time. The Board regards this period as critical in the development of the resource base and hence the Company, and as such has introduced this vesting condition.
DEEP YELLOW LIMITED ACN 006 391 948
Under the Company’s current circumstances each of the Directors consider (in respect of the Options to be granted to each other Director) that the incentives to the parties noted above, represented by the issue of these Options, are a cost effective and efficient reward and incentive for the Company, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as the payment of additional cash compensation to meet market expectations.
The number of Options to be granted to each of the Directors has been determined in light of the following considerations:
-
The Directors wish to ensure that the remuneration offered is competitive with market standards and where appropriate, based upon share price performance hurdles.
-
The exercise price of the Options has been set at $0.275.
-
The Directors believe it is appropriate to provide equity incentives in order to attract and ensure continuity of service of Directors who have appropriate knowledge and expertise in the industry in which the Company operates.
-
The Directors consider the proposed number and terms of Options to be issued will ensure that the Directors’ overall remuneration is in line with market standards.
In the 12 month period before the date of this Notice of Meeting, the highest price at which the Company’s shares traded on the ASX was $0.50 on 1 November 2007 and the lowest price was $0.16 on 22 January 2008. The volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares on the ASX over the 10 trading days prior to the date of this Notice of Meeting was $0.255. The closing price on the trading day prior to the date of the Notice of Meeting was $0.235.
In the event the Options are exercised, at a price of $0.275, the following amounts will need to be paid to the Company by the Directors.
| Director | To bepaid |
|---|---|
| Mr Martin Kavanagh | $495,000 |
| Dr Leon Pretorius | $1,182,500 |

DEEP YELLOW LIMITED ACN 006 391 948
The nature of the financial benefit
The proposed financial benefit to be given is the grant of Options for no consideration to the Directors as noted above. The terms and conditions of the Options to be granted to the Directors are set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum.
Directors' recommendation and interest in outcome of resolutions 4 and 5
For the reasons noted above:
-
Dr Leon Pretorius, Mr Mervyn Greene, Ms Gillian Swaby, Mr Rudolf Brunovs and Mr Tony McDonald (who have no interest in the outcome of resolution 4) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 4. Mr Martin Kavanagh declines to make a recommendation about resolution 4 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome of that particular resolution as it relates to the proposed issue of Options to him individually.
-
Mr Martin Kavanagh, Mr Mervyn Greene, Ms Gillian Swaby, Mr Rudolf Brunovs and Mr Tony McDonald (who have no interest in the outcome of resolution 5) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 5. Dr Leon Pretorius declines to make a recommendation about resolution 5 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome of that particular resolution as it relates to the proposed issue of Options to him individually.
Other information that is reasonably required by members to make a decision and that is known to the Company or any of its Directors
The proposed ordinary resolutions 4 and 5 would have the effect of giving power to the Directors to grant up to 6,100,000 Options on the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum and as otherwise mentioned above. At the date of this Notice of Meeting the Company had 1,121,226,958 issued shares and 63,500,000 unlisted Options.
If all Options granted as proposed above are exercised, together with all the existing unlisted options on issue, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of existing shareholders by 6.21%. The market price of the Company's shares during the period of the Options will normally determine whether or not Option holders exercise the Options. At the time any Options are exercised and shares are issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options, the Company's ordinary shares may be trading at a price which is higher than the exercise price of the Options.
The Directors' base salaries per annum and the total financial benefit to be received by them in this current period as a result of the grant of Options the subject of resolutions 4 and 5 are as follows:
| Director | Base salary p.a. ($) |
Superannuation p.a. | Value of options to be issued ($) |
Total Financial Benefit ($) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ($) | ||||
| Mr Martin Kavanagh | 293,578 | 26,422 | 252,000 | 572,000 |
| Dr Leon Pretorius | 504,000 | - | 602,000 | 1,106,000 |
Valuation of Options
The Company with the assistance of its advisors have valued the Options to be granted to the Directors using the Cox, Ross and Rubinstein Binomial Tree Pricing Model ( Model ). The acceptance of this model is due to its derivation being grounded in economic theory. The value of an option calculated by the Model is a function of a number of variables. Their assessment of the value of the Options has been prepared using the following assumptions:
| Variable | Inputs |
|---|---|
| Shareprice | $0.234 |
| Exerciseprice | $0.275 |
| Risk Free Interest Rate | 6.83% |
| Volatility | 95% |
| Time(years)to expiry | 3years |
For the purposes of this valuation, the Company has assumed that the issue date of the Options will be on or around 30 November 2008. For the share price, the closing price for the Company’s shares on ASX on the day of the valuation (being 30 June 2008) was $0.234. An exercise price of $0.275 per Option was used together with an assumed volatility level of 95% given the industry in which the Company operates, the Company’s financial position and the volatility of listed shares of other companies comparable to Deep Yellow. Based on these assumptions and advice from the Company's advisors, the Company has estimated the value of Options to be issued to the Directors to be $0.14 per Option.
Under AASB 2 Share Based Payments, pursuant to the adoption of the Australian International Financial Reporting Standards, the Company is required to recognise the fair value of Options granted to Directors, employees, consultants and other advisors as an expense on a pro-rata basis over the vesting period in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
This will result in an amount of $854,000 being booked to the Company’s income statements based on the Cox, Ross and Rubinstein Binomial Tree Pricing Model calculated at the date of this notice.
It should be noted that these figures will change based on the parameters applying at the date of grant of these Options.
Timing of Issue
The Company will issue the Options as soon as practicable after the date of the meeting, but in any event no later than 1 month after the date of the meeting.
DEEP YELLOW LIMITED ACN 006 391 948
Listing Rule 7.1
Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11 in connection with resolutions 4 and 5. If such approval is given, separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. This means that the issue of the Options, if approved, and the issue of ordinary shares on exercise of the Options, will not erode the Company’s capacity to issue additional equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1.

An Option Holder may not, except with the approval of the Board of Directors (in its sole and absolute discretion), sell, transfer, assign, give or otherwise dispose of, in equity or in law, the benefit of the Options. The approval of the Board of Directors may be given subject to satisfaction of certain conditions in which event such approval will be deemed not to occur until any such conditions have been satisfied. In particular the Board of Directors may require the proposed new holder of Options to enter into a covenant with the Company pursuant to which the proposed new holder acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the termination provisions contained in this Plan. Nothing in this clause enables the Board of Directors to refuse to register a proper transfer of Options.

DYL Shares allotted pursuant to an exercise of Options shall rank, from the date of allotment, equally with existing DYL Shares of the Company in all respects.
-
The Company shall, in accordance with Listing Rule 2.8, make application to have DYL Shares allotted pursuant to an exercise of Options listed for Official Quotation.

If the Options are exercised before the record date of an entitlement, the Option Holder can participate in a pro rata issue to the holders of the underlying securities in the Company.

-
In the event that a pro rata issue is made to the holders of the underlying securities in the Company, the exercise price of the Options may be reduced according to the following formula:
==> picture [114 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

-
O = the old exercise price of the Option.
-
E = the number of underlying securities in the Company into which one option is exercisable.
-
P
-
= the average market price per security (weighted by reference to volume) of the underlying securities in the Company during the five (5) trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.
-
S = the Subscription price for a security under the pro rata issue.

= the Number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new security in the Company.

The number of DYL Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options will be adjusted for bonus issues made prior to exercise of Options. The effect will be that upon exercise of the Options the number of DYL Shares received by the Option Holder will include the number of bonus DYL Shares that would have been issued if the Options had been exercised prior to the record date for bonus issues. The exercise price of the Options shall not change as result of any such bonus issue.
