The exercise of only some Performance Rights does not affect the Participant’s right to exercise other Performance Rights at a later time.

Act, Listing Rules and trading policies of the Company from time to time (if applicable).

5. Preventing inappropriate benefits

  • (a) Where, in the opinion of the Board, a Participant:

  • (i) has acted fraudulently or dishonestly;

  • (ii) has done an act which has brought the Company, the Group or any entity within the Group into disrepute; or

  • (b) Without limiting Rule 5(a), where, in the opinion of the Board:

  • (i) a Participant’s Performance Rights Vest or Vested as a result of the fraud, dishonesty or breach of obligations of either the Participant or of any other person and, in the opinion of the Board, the Performance Rights would not have otherwise Vested; or

  • (ii) the Company is required by or entitled under law to reclaim an overpaid bonus or other amount from a Participant,

  • (i) to dispose of his or her legal and beneficial interest (as appropriate) in those Shares for total aggregate consideration of A$1.00 and the Shares will be transferred into the name of the Company’s nominee who will then hold full legal and beneficial title to those Shares;

FEX Performance Rights Plan

Page 6

  • (ii) to the cancellation of those Shares for total aggregate consideration of A$1.00; or

  • (iii) to the Company buying back those Shares for total aggregate consideration of A$1.00,

as the Board may elect in its discretion, and the Participant appoints the Company Secretary of the Company as its attorney to do all acts, and sign all documents, on the Participant’s behalf to effect the forfeiture of the Shares in the manner determined by the Board.

7. Cessation of Employment

  • (a) Unless the Board determines otherwise pursuant to Rule 7(b), where a Participant ceases to be Employed by the Group:

For the avoidance of doubt, a Change of Control Event does not include an internal reorganisation of the structure, business and/or assets of the Group.

  • (a) Subject to Rules 9(b) to 9(e), prior to the issue of Shares to a Participant upon exercise of Vested Performance Rights, the Board may make any adjustments it considers appropriate to the terms of a Performance Right granted to that Participant in order to minimise or eliminate any material advantage or disadvantage to a Participant resulting from a corporate action by, or capital reconstruction in relation to, the Company.

  • (d) If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of a Performance Right will be increased by the number of Shares which the Participant would have received if the Participant had exercised the Performance Right before the record date for the bonus issue.

  • (e) If there is any reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the Performance Rights holder may be varied to comply with the Listing Rules which apply to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

  • (f) Where additional Performance Rights are granted to the Participant under this Rule, such Performance Rights will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Performance Rights granted to the Participant (including without limitation, any Vesting Conditions), unless the Board determines otherwise.
