7. Exercise of Convertible Securities

7.1 Exercise of Convertible Securities

  • (a) A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with clause 6, or such earlier date on which the Participant is entitled to exercise that Convertible Security in accordance with these Rules.

  • (b) To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must:

  • (i) deliver a signed Notice of Exercise; and

  • (ii) subject to clause 7.2, pay the Exercise Price (if any) to or as directed by the Company,

  • at any time prior to the earlier of:

  • (iii) any date specified in the Vesting Notice; and

  • (iv) the Expiry Date.

For the avoidance of doubt and subject to clause 7.2, the total Exercise Price payable by the Participant on exercise of their Convertible Securities is the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Convertible Securities being exercised by that Participant, rounded up to the nearest cent.

  • (c) If the Participant does not deliver a signed Notice of Exercise and (subject to clause 7.2) pay the Exercise Price to or as directed by the Company in relation to a Convertible Security by the requisite date, that Convertible Security will automatically be forfeited.

7.2 Cashless exercise of Convertible Securities

An Invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities subject of the Invitation, 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 allot to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the then Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the Exercise Price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities (with the number of Shares rounded down to the nearest whole Share).

8. Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities

As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant in accordance with clause 7, the Company will:

  • (a) issue, allocate or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under these Rules; and

  • (b) issue a substitute Certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.

9. Forfeiture of Convertible Securities

9.1 Leaver

Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities becomes a Leaver, 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.

[Note: Examples of the circumstances when the Board may decide to exercise its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest include where a Participant becomes a Leaver due to death, redundancy, permanent disability, mental incapacity or retirement. These examples are not exhaustive.]

9.2

Fraudulent or dishonest actions

Where the Board determines that a Participant has:

  • (a) acted fraudulently or dishonestly; or

  • (b) 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.

9.3

Failure to satisfy Vesting Conditions

Unless otherwise stated in the Invitation or determined by the Board, a Convertible Security which has 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.

9.4

Insolvency

Unless otherwise stated in the Invitation or determined by the Board, a Convertible Security held by a Participant in accordance with these Rules will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Participant becomes Insolvent.

9.5

Other forfeiture events

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in these Rules, any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the Expiry Date.

9.6 Discretion to determine that the Convertible Securities are not forfeited

Notwithstanding clauses 9.1 to 9.5 (inclusive), the Board may decide (on any conditions which it thinks fit) that some or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will not be forfeited at that time, but will be forfeited at the time and subject to the conditions it may specify by written notice to the Participant.

9.7

Voluntary forfeiture

A Participant may by written notice to the Company voluntarily forfeit their Convertible Securities for no consideration.

9.8 Application of Part 2D.2 Division 2 of the Corporations Act

  • (a) This clause 9.8 applies to all termination payments to which Part 2D.2 Division 2 of the Corporations Act applies.

  • (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of these Rules, in the absence of shareholder approval, the Company is not required to provide, or procure the provision, of any benefit under these Rules which is not permitted by Part 2D.2 Division 2 of the Corporations Act.

  • (c) Any benefits required to be provided to a Participant in accordance with these Rules will, by operation of this clause, be reduced to ensure compliance with Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act and the provision of such reduced benefit shall constitute full satisfaction of the obligations of each member of the Group. In the event of overpayment to a Participant, the Participant must, on receiving written notice from the Board, immediately repay any monies or benefits specified in such notice to ensure compliance with Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act.

  • (d) Where clause 9.8(b) applies, the Company may seek or not seek shareholder approval in its discretion.

10. Effect of Forfeiture of Convertible Securities

Where a Convertible Security has been forfeited in accordance with these Rules:

  • (a) the Convertible Security will automatically lapse;

  • (b) the Participant or the Participant's agent or attorney must sign any transfer documents required by the Company to effect the forfeiture of that Convertible Security; and

  • (c) the Company will not be liable for any damages or other amounts to the Participant in respect of that Convertible Security.

11. Change of Control

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Rules, if a Change of Control Event occurs, 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.

12. Rights attaching to Plan Shares

12.1 Plan Shares to rank equally

All Plan Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class for the time being on issue except for any rights attaching to the Shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of the allotment or transfer of the Plan Shares.

20171129 Employee Securities Incentive Plan - Devex Resources Limited V2

Page 13

12.2 Listing

If Plan Shares are in the same class as Shares which are listed on the ASX, the Company will apply for quotation of the Plan Shares issued (or any unquoted Plan Shares transferred) within the time required by the Listing Rules after the date of allotment.

12.3 Dividends

A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares which, at the closing date for determining entitlement to such dividends, are standing to the account of the Participant (or a Trustee for and on behalf of the Participant).

12.4 Dividend reinvestment plan

A Participant may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares held by the Participant (or a Trustee for and on behalf of the Participant). Shares issued under any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Plan Shares held by the Participant (or a Trustee for and on behalf of the Participant) unless the Board determines otherwise.

12.5 Voting rights

A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares held by the Participant (or a Trustee for and on behalf of the Participant).

13. Disposal Restrictions on Plan Shares

13.1 Disposal restriction

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, including but not limited to imposing an ASX Holding Lock (where applicable) on the Plan Shares or using an employee share trust to hold the Plan Shares during the relevant restriction period.

13.2 Participant's undertaking

For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under this Plan, the Participant will not:

  • (a) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a Security Interest granted over that Plan Share; or

  • (b) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.

13.3

Expiry of restriction

Subject at all times to the Share Trading Policy, upon the expiry of any disposal restrictions over a Plan Share, the Company will take all action necessary to ensure that the Participant can deal with that Plan Share.

20171129 Employee Securities Incentive Plan - Devex Resources Limited V2

Page 14

13.4 Share entitlements

For the avoidance of doubt, the imposition of a disposal restriction on a Plan Share held by a Participant will not affect the Participant's entitlement to receive a notice of, or to vote or attend at, a meeting of the members of the Company, and to receive any dividends declared by the Company during the relevant disposal restriction period on that Plan Share. If an employee share trust arrangement is implemented in respect of this Plan, the Board may implement such procedures it deems appropriate to give effect to the intent of this clause 13.4.

14. Irrevocable Power of Attorney

In order to ensure compliance with these Rules, each Participant must grant an irrevocable power of attorney (in the form set out in the Invitation or such other form determined by the Board) to any person nominated from time to time by the Board.

15. Adjustment of Convertible Securities

15.1 Reorganisation

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.

15.2 Bonus Issue

  • (a) If Shares are issued by the Company pro rata to shareholders generally 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, in addition to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised and without the payment of any further consideration, an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to a shareholder who, on the date for determining entitlements under the bonus issue, held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

  • (b) Additional Shares to which the holder of Convertible Securities becomes so entitled will, as from the time Shares are issued pursuant to the bonus issue and until those additional Shares are allotted, be regarded as Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised for the purposes of subsequent applications of clause 15.2(a), and any adjustments which, after the time just mentioned, are made under clause 15.1 to the number of Shares will also be made to the additional Shares.

15.3 Rights Issue

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.

15.4 No other participation

Subject to clauses 15.1 to 15.3 (inclusive), during the currency of any Convertible Securities and prior to their exercise, the holders of Convertible Securities are not entitled

20171129 Employee Securities Incentive Plan - Devex Resources Limited V2

Page 15

to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company as a result of their holding of Convertible Securities.

15.5 Rounding

Until a Convertible Security is exercised, all calculations adjusting the number of Shares must be carried out to include all fractions, but when a Convertible Security is exercised and is settled in Shares the number of Shares to be issued or transferred to the Participant is rounded down to the next lowest whole number.

15.6 Application of adjustment

  • (a) In the application of this clause 15, the Board may (as far as possible) make whatever adjustments it deems necessary or desirable to ensure that the consequences of that application are fair as between the Participants and the holders of other securities in the Company, subject to the Listing Rules and other Applicable Laws.

  • (b) Unless otherwise provided in these Rules, a Participant has no right to:

  • (i) change the Exercise Price; or

  • (ii) change the number of Shares over which the Convertible Security can be exercised.

16. Administration of the Plan

16.1 Board administration

The Plan will be administered by the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board may make further provisions for the operation of the Plan which are consistent with these Rules.

16.2 Board powers and discretions

Any power or discretion which is conferred on the Board by these Rules may be exercised in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board does not, in exercising any power or discretion under these Rules, owe any fiduciary or other obligations to any Eligible Participant or Participant.

16.3

Delegation of Board powers and discretions

Any power or discretion which is conferred on the Board by these Rules (including, without limitation, the power to invite Eligible Participants to participate in the Plan and to determine the terms and conditions of the Securities) may be delegated by the Board to:

  • (a) a committee consisting of such directors, other officers or employees of the Group, or any combination of such persons as the Board thinks fit;

  • (b) a member of the Group; or

  • (c) a third party,

The Company may from time to time require an Eligible Participant invited to participate in the Plan or a Participant or a person nominated by an Eligible Participant under clause 3.8 to complete and return such other documents as may be required by law to be completed by that person or entity, or such other documents which the Company considers should, for legal, taxation and/or administrative reasons, be completed by that Eligible Participant, Participant or person in order to give effect to the intent of the Plan.

16.5

Decisions final

Every exercise of a discretion by the Board (or its delegates) and any decision by the Board (or its delegates) regarding the interpretation, effect or application of these Rules and all calculations and determination made by the Board under these Rules are final, conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.

17. Trust

The Board may, in its discretion, use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding Shares and Plan Shares before or after the exercise of a Convertible Security or delivering any Plan Shares arising from exercise of a Convertible Security under these Rules on such terms and conditions as determined by the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board may do all things necessary for the establishment, administration, operation and funding of an employee share trust.

18. Restrictions on and amendments to the Plan

18.1 Compliance with Applicable Laws

  • (a) Notwithstanding these Rules or any terms of a Security, no Security may be offered, granted, vested or exercised, and no Share may be issued or transferred, if to do so would contravene any Applicable Laws.

  • (b) In particular, the Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an Invitation, that the total number of Plan Shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered, under an Invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made in reliance on ASIC Class Order 14/1000 at any time during the previous 3 year period under:

  • (i) an employee incentive scheme covered by ASIC Class Oder 14/1000; or

  • (ii) an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme,

but disregarding any offer made or securities issued in the capital of the Company by way of or as a result of:

  • (iii) an offer to a person situated at the time of receipt of the offer outside Australia;

  • (iv) an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act (exempts the requirement for a disclosure document for the issue of securities in certain circumstances to investors who are deemed to have sufficient investment knowledge

20171129 Employee Securities Incentive Plan - Devex Resources Limited V2

Page 17

to make informed decisions, including professional investors, sophisticated investors and senior managers of the Company); or

  • (v) an offer made under a disclosure document,

would exceed 5% (or such other maximum permitted under any Applicable Law) of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the Invitation.

18.2 Amendment of Plan

  • (a) Subject to clause 18.2(b), the Board may:

  • (i) at any time amend any provisions of these Rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan; and

  • (ii) determine that any amendments to these Rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

  • (b) No amendment to any provision of these 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:

  • (i) introduced primarily:

    • (A) for the purposes of complying with or conforming to present or future legislation governing or regulating the Plan or like plans;

    • (B) to correct any manifest error or mistake;

    • (C) to allow the implementation of an employee share trust arrangement pursuant to clause 17;

    • (D) to enable the Plan or any member of the Group to comply with its constituent documents, and any other Applicable Laws; and/or

    • (E) to take into consideration possible adverse taxation implications in respect of the Plan including changes to applicable taxation legislation or the interpretation of that legislation by a court of competent jurisdiction or any rulings from taxation authorities administering such legislation; or

  • (ii) agreed to in writing by all Participant(s).

  • (c) As soon as reasonably practicable after making any amendment to any provision of these Rules, the Board will give notice of the amendment to each Participant affected by the amendment. Failure by the Board to notify a Participant of any amendment will not invalidate the amendment as it applies to that Participant.
