Item I: Energy One Executive and Director Option Plan ("EOP")

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides a formula that limits the number of equity securities the Company may issue to 15% of each class of securities within any 12 month period without shareholder approval. An exception to this rule is set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2, exception 9, which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of three years if shareholders approve, as is proposed by Resolution 1, the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. EOP is a new plan and no issues have been made under the Plan.

The following is a summary of the Energy One Executive and Director Option Plan ("EOP"):

Summary

The EOP allows the Company to grant options or rights to acquire ordinary Shares in Energy One to selected key employees and selected Non-Executive Directors, subject to satisfying performance and service conditions set down at the time of offer.

Operation of Plan

The Board may offer options or rights to acquire Shares to invited employees having regard to their actual and potential contribution to the Company.

The exercise price for options will be determined by reference to the weighted average market price of Energy One Shares up to and including the date of grant of the option or such other date or period as the Board determines. The exercise price for performance rights will be nil or such amount as the Board determines.

Options and rights cannot be transferred. Options and rights will not be quoted on ASX. Shares issued under EOP on the exercise of the options or rights will rank equally with other ordinary Shares of the Company and will be listed.

An option or right may only be exercised by a date determined by the Board (First Exercise Date) and will lapse, if not exercised, at a date determined by the Board (Last Exercise Date) not exceeding 10 years. subject to applicable performance hurdles and other restrictions set in the offer letter. An unexpired option or right will also lapse on a date six months after a participating executive dies, retires, is made redundant or becomes disabled, or the date one month after the participating executive ceases to be employed by the Energy One group for any other reason.

Limitation on Issues

The number of Shares that may be issued under the EOP is set with regard to the limits prescribed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission with respect to employee share scheme offers made without a prospectus. Currently these limits provide that the number of Shares that may be issued when aggregated with the number of Shares issued during the previous 5 years from Share issues under all employee Share schemes established by the company (including as a result of exercise of options to acquire Shares granted during the previous 5 years under any such employee share scheme) must not exceed five (5) percent of the total number of Shares on issue disregarding certain unregulated offers.
