EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement is included in and forms part of the Notice of Meeting. It contains background information pertaining to the Resolutions to be considered at the Meeting as well as information required to be given to Shareholders under the Listing Rules in relation to the Resolutions.
It is given to Shareholders to help them determine how to vote on the Resolutions set out in the Notice
of Meeting.
Shareholders should read this Explanatory Statement in full and in conjunction with the other sections of this Document, in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Resolutions proposed in the Notice of Meeting.
If you are in doubt about what to do in relation to a Resolution, you should consult your financial or other professional adviser.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2025, together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.gatewaymining.com.au.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 Background
The Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2025 contains the Company’s Remuneration Report on pages 31 to 39. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration policies and reports on the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors of the Company.
The Corporations Act requires the agenda for the Annual General Meeting of a listed company to include a resolution for the adoptions of the Remuneration Report. The Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote on the resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company.
Shareholders attending the Annual General Meeting will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions and comment on the Remuneration Report.
2.2 Voting Exclusion Statement
A description of the persons not permitted to vote on Resolution 1, and whose votes will be disregarded if cast on Resolution 1, is set out in the Notice.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
3.1 Requirement for Shareholder Approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued capital through placements over a 12-month period, following approval at its Annual General Meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). This 10% Placement is in addition to the 15% placement capacity that a Company may utilise according to Listing Rule 7.1.
15
The Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of less than A$300 million. As of the date of this Notice, the Company’s market capitalisation is $206,312,428.17.
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to enable the Company to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. The exact number of Shares that may be issued by the Company pursuant to this Resolution 2 will be determined in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
3.2 Required information under Listing Rule 14.1A
For this Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be cast in favour of the Resolution.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
3.3 Required information under Listing Rule 7.3A
For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A, the Company gives the following details in relation to this to Resolution 2:
- (a) Formula for calculating the 10% Placement Capacity:
The number of Equity Securities which the Company may issue pursuant to this Resolution 2 in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.2 may be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
A is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period,
-
(i) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17,
-
(ii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
A. the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
B. the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,
-
(iii) plus the number of partly paid securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
A. the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
B. the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or 7.4,
-
(iv) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4,
-
(v) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period,
16
- (vi) less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the relevant period.
D is 10%
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4.
In relation to the Company, “relevant period” means the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of issue or agreement.
(b) Issue price of securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash consideration. The minimum price at which Equity Securities may be issued under the 7.1A Mandate will not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of the Equity Securities in the same class, calculated or the 15 trading days on which trades were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the Equity Securities are issued or agreed to be issued by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(i) if the Equity Securities are not issued within ten trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Risk of economic and voting dilution of ordinary securities holders
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement will dilute the voting interests and may dilute the economic interests of Shareholders who do not receive Equity Securities under the issue.
The table below seeks to demonstrate the potential dilution of existing members from the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2. The table considers the current number of shares on issue, the effect of a change in the number of shares on issue, and a variation in the issue price of shares (noting that shares may only be issued at up to a 25% discount based on the volume weighted average price of the shares calculated over the 15 trading days preceding the issue).

-
(i) the current number of Shares on issue is the number of Shares on issue at as the date of this Notice;

-
(iii) the Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity;
-
(iv) the calculations above do not show the dilution that any one Shareholder will be subject to – all Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances; and
-
(v) this table does not consider any dilution which may occur subject to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be lower on the date of issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price which is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date.
-

-
(iii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) or such longer period if allowed by the ASX.

5. RESOLUTIONS 7 AND 8 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES
5.1 Background
On 24 September 2025, the Company announced that it had completed a placement of 409,090,909 Shares at an issue price of $0.055 to raise total funds of $22.5 million (before costs) ( Placement ) to institutional, professional and Sophisticated Investors to underpin the next major phase of exploration at its flagship Yandal Project in Western Australia and also for initial exploration at the Company’s newly acquired Glenburgh South Project both in Western Australia.
The Placement was strongly supported by both existing shareholders and new investors.
The Company received the support of its Directors in the Placement, and the issue of the Placement Shares to Directors will be subject to shareholder approval under Resolutions 9 to 13 of this Notice.
The Placement was lead managed by JP Equity Holdings Pty Ltd ( Lead Manager ).
378,636,363 Placement Shares were issued under the Placement to institutional, professional and Sophisticated Investors who are not directors or related parties of the Company ( Placement Shares ) were issued using the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. 187,980,421 Placement Shares were issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity and 190,655,942 Placement Shares were issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A capacity.
The issue of the Placement Shares occurred on 2 October 2025. The Company now seeks shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4.
5.2 Subsequent approval of an issue of Securities under Listing Rule 7.4 and 7.5
Listing Rule 7.1 requires Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of securities in the Company where such issue represents more than 15% of the Company’s securities then on issue within the 12 month period immediately prior to the date of that issue or the date of
22
agreement to effect that issue (15% Threshold). Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase the 15% limit by an extra 10% (10% Threshold) to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the 2024 AGM.
Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without Shareholder approval, provided such issue, in aggregate with any other applicable issues of Equity Securities by the Company, did not breach the 15% Threshold and 10% Threshold.
Shareholder ratification of an issue of securities under Listing Rule 7.4 enables the Company capacity to issue further securities up to the 15% Threshold and the 10% Threshold, without additional Shareholder approval (but still subject to any other approval required under the Listing Rules), to the extent of the securities that were the subject of that ratification.
Listing Rule 7.4 stipulates that an issue of Equity Securities made without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with it, if it is subsequently approved by Shareholders.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses part of the Company’s 15% capacity in Listing Rules 7.1 and part of the Company’s 10% Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are not approved it reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
If these Resolutions are passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold and 10% Threshold, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
The Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A remains conditional on Resolution 2 being passed at this Meeting.
5.4 Additional disclosure
The following information in relation to the Placement Shares, the subject of Resolutions 7 and 8, is provided to the Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

- (b) Issue price
The Placement Shares were issued at $0.055 per Share for Shares issued pursuant to both Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company received an aggregate $20,825,000 (before costs) as consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares which are the subject of this Resolution.

23
(e) Persons to whom Equity Securities were issued
The Placement Shares were issued to Sophisticated Investors, professional and institutional investors who are not Related Parties of the Company.
The participants in the Placement were introduced by JP Equity Holdings Pty Ltd who acted as lead managers to the Placement, or were prospective investors already known to the Company. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the lead managers seeking expressions of interest from Sophisticated Investors, professional and institutional investors to participate in the Placement.
In accordance with paragraph 7.2 of the ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:
-
(i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and
-
(ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company.
(f) Use of funds raised
The funds raised under the Placement the subject of these Resolutions underpin exploration and drilling programs at the Company’s Yandal Gold Project, its other exploration projects (including Glenburgh South, Montague and Barrelmaker) working capital purposes and for costs of the Placement.
The above is a statement of current intentions at the date of this Document. Intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.
(g) Material Terms of an agreement to which securities were issued
The Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement. The Shares were issued to Sophisticated Investors, professional and institutional investors who subscribed for the shares under the Placement.

5.6 Recommendation of Directors
Each Director recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of these Resolutions.
Each Director confirms that he has no personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions.
6. RESOLUTIONS 9 TO 13 – ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES TO DIRECTORS
6.1 Background
Pursuant to the Placement summarised in Section 5.1 above, the Company received the support of its Directors in the Placement, and the issue of the Shares under the Placement to Directors is subject to Shareholder Approval.
Andrew Bray, Anthony McClure, Peter Langworthy, David Crook and Trent Franklin (and/or their nominees) have, subject to shareholder approval agreed to invest collective total of
24
$1,675,000 under the Placement being 30,454,546 Shares ( Director Placement Shares ). The Director Placement Shares comprise:
-
(a) 18,181,819 Shares at an issue price of $0.055 to Mr Bray, approval of which is pursuant to Resolution 9;
-
(b) 1,818,182 Shares at an issue price of $0.055 to Mr McClure, approval of which is pursuant to Resolution 10;
-
(c) 909,091 Shares at an issue price of $0.055 to Mr Langworthy, approval of which is pursuant to Resolution 11;
-
(d) 454,545 Shares at an issue price of $0.055 to Mr Crook, approval of which is pursuant to Resolution 12; and
-
(e) 9,090,909 Shares at an issue price of $0.055 to Mr Franklin, approval of which is pursuant to Resolution 13.
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval under Resolutions 9 to 13 to issue a total of 30,454,546 Shares under the Placement to Andrew Bray, Anthony McClure, Peter Langworthy, David Crook and Trent Franklin (and/or their nominees) pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11.
6.2 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act
Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances. Section 195(4) relevantly provides that if there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors meeting because of this restriction, one or more of the directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.
It might be argued (but it is neither conceded nor, indeed, is it thought by the Board to be the case) that all of the Directors comprising the Board (except for David Morgan) have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 9 to 13. If each does have such an interest, then a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolutions 9 to 13 at the Board level.
Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, and for the purpose of transparency and best practice corporate governance, the Company also seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 9 to 13 for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in respect of the reliance on the arm’s length terms exception and the decision not to seek Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
6.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 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 issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of either being a Director, or in the case of Mr Franklin and Mr Langworthy, being a Director within the last six months.
The Directors (other than Mr Bray who has a material personal interest in Resolution 9) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 9 because the Participation Shares will be issued to Mr Bray
25
on the same terms as Shares offered to the unrelated Placement participants, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Mr McClure who has a material personal interest in Resolution 10) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 10 because the Participation Shares will be issued to Mr McClure on the same terms as Shares offered to the unrelated Placement participants, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 11 because the Participation Shares will be issued to Mr Langworthy on the same terms as Shares offered to the unrelated Placement participants, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
The Directors (other than Mr Crook who has a material personal interest in Resolution 12) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 12 because the Participation Shares will be issued to Mr Crook on the same terms as Shares offered to the unrelated Placement participants, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 13 because the Participation Shares will be issued to Mr Franklin on the same terms as Shares offered to the unrelated Placement participants, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
6.4 Requirement for Shareholder Approval
Listing Rule 10.11 requires that unless an exception applies, an entity must not without the prior approval of its shareholders, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to:
-
(a) a Related Party of the entity;
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the entity;
-
(c) a person who is or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement a substantial (10%) holder in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives then a right or expectation to do so;
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the entity or a Related Party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval of shareholders should be obtained.
Andrew Bray, Anthony McClure and David Crook are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
Trent Franklin and Peter Langorthy are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors within the last six months of this Notice.
6.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

Should Resolutions 9 to 13 be passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of a total of 30,454,546 Shares to Messrs Bray, McClure, Langworthy, Crook and Franklin (or their nominees) within one month of receiving such approval (or such later date as permitted by an ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds under the Placement. As approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because
26
approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
6.6 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
For the purpose of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information in relation to the Director Placement Shares the subject of Resolutions 9 to 13 is provided:

7. RESOLUTION 14 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF ADVISOR OPTIONS TO JP EQUITY
7.1
Background
As noted in Section 5.1 above, the Placement was lead managed JP Equity Holdings Pty Ltd ( JP Equity ).
As part of JP Equity’s fee for lead managing and facilitating the Placement, JP Equity was also issued 20,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.10 per Option and expiring on 2 October 2028 ( Advisor Options ).
The Company issued the Advisor Options using the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 3.1.
The Company now seeks shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Advisor Options pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4.
7.2 Subsequent approval of an issue of Securities under Listing Rule 7.4 and 7.5
Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without Shareholder approval, provided such issue, in aggregate with any other applicable issues of Equity Securities by the Company, did not breach the 15% Threshold.
Shareholder ratification of an issue of securities under Listing Rule 7.4 enables the Company capacity to issue further securities up to the 15% Threshold, without additional Shareholder approval (but still subject to any other approval required under the Listing Rules), to the extent of the securities that were the subject of that ratification.
Listing Rule 7.4 stipulates that an issue of Equity Securities made without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with it, if it is subsequently approved by Shareholders.
Further under Exception 9 in Listing Rule 7.2, an issue of Equity Securities on the conversion of Convertible Securities (including Options) does not count towards the 15% Threshold provided that the Company issued the Convertible Securities:

28
(b) after it was listed and complied with the Listing Rules when it did so.
The issue of the Advisor Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it uses part of the Company’s 15% capacity in Listing Rules 7.1, and if this Resolution is not approved it 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 date of issue of the Advisor Options.
7.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Advisor Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Advisor Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

No funds will be raised from this issue of the Advisor Options as they were issued as part of JP Equity’s fee for lead managing and facilitating the Placement.
The Company does not have any specific intentions for the use of funds received on exercise of the Advisor Options, and the Company presently considers that funds raised from the exercise of Advisor Options, will be applied towards exploration at the Company’s Yandal Project and other exploration projects and the Company’s general working capital.
(f) Material Terms of an agreement to which securities were issued
In September 2025, the Company entered into a capital raising and lead manager mandate with JP Equity. Under the mandate, JP Equity agreed to provide capital raising services to the Company and to act as the sole lead manager in relation to the Placement.

8.2 Subsequent approval of an issue of Securities under Listing Rule 7.4 and 7.5
Listing Rule 7.1 requires Shareholder approval for the proposed issue of securities in the Company where such issue represents more than 15% of the Company’s securities then on issue within the 12 month period immediately prior to the date of that issue or the date of agreement to effect that issue ( 15% Threshold ).

Listing Rule 7.4 stipulates that an issue of Equity Securities made without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with it, if it is subsequently approved by Shareholders.
The issue of the Consideration Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as they have not yet been approved by Shareholders, they use part of the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rules 7.1, and if this Resolution is not approved the issue of these Consideration Shares reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the these Shares.
8.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Consideration Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.
9.2 Requirement for Shareholder Approval
Shareholder approval is not required by the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules for the establishment or operation of the Incentive Plan.
Shareholder Approval for the Incentive Plan is being sought in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution, to allow the Company to rely on Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13. This Exception:
-
(a) excludes any Equity Securities issued under an “employee Incentive Plan” from being included in the Equity Securities that the Company would otherwise be required to include in determining whether it remains in compliance with the 15% Threshold; and
-
(b) provides that a company is not required to obtain shareholder approval for an issue of Equity Securities under an “employee Incentive Plan” provided that shareholders have approved the issue of securities under that scheme, as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1, no later than three years before the date of a proposed issue of any Equity Securities under that scheme.
9.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of Securities stated in Section 9.4(c) below) 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.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of 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.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Securities under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of Securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Securities.
9.4 Information required by Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13
For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13, the following information in relation to the Incentive Plan the subject of this Resolution is provided:

- (b) The number of securities issued under the Plan since the date of the last approval
33
Nil, as this is the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Plan.
(c) The maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Plan following approval
The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the Incentive Plan will not exceed 120,000,000. This maximum is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of Equity Securities to be issued under the Incentive Plan but is specified for the purposes of setting a ceiling on the number of Equity Securities approved to be issued for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.
This maximum number of Securities includes the Securities that are subject to Resolutions 17 to 19.
The Company may also seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Securities under the Incentive 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.

Performance Rights confer an entitlement to be issued one Share subject to the satisfaction of any Performance Criteria and the terms set out in the Incentive Plan. The Performance Rights shall be issued under, and subject to the terms of the Incentive Plan. The terms of the Incentive Plan are summarised in Annexure B .
The objective of the proposed grant of Performance Rights to Directors and officers of the Company is primarily to link the reward of Performance Rights to Shareholder value creation, and align their interests with those Shareholders and to encourage long the long-term sustainable growth of the Company. The Performance Rights shall be issued under, and subject to, the terms of the Incentive Plan.
10.2 Director Recommendation
-
(a) Mr Andrew Bray (the non-interested Director) acknowledges that the issue of Performance Rights to the non-executive Directors of the Company, Messrs McClure, Morgan and Crook ( Relevant Directors ), is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX CGPR. However, Mr Bray considers that the issue is reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in Section 10.6(l) below;
-
(b) Mr Bray recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of these Resolutions for the reasons set out in Section 10.6(l) below. In forming his recommendation, Mr Bray considered the experience of the Relevant Directors, the current market price of Shares, the current market standards and practices when determining the number of Performance Rights to be issued to each of the proposed recipients, as well as the performance milestones and expiry date of those Performance Rights; and
-
(c) each Director (other than Mr Bray) has a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions on the basis that the Directors (other than Mr Bray) (or their nominee(s)) are to be issued Performance Rights on the same terms and conditions should these Resolutions be passed. For this reason, the Relevant Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on these Resolutions.
10.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 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 issue constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
35
As Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to three of four of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
10.4 Requirement for Shareholder Approval

-
(c) a person whose relationship with the company 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 its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
Shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.14 in order to issue the Performance Rights under the Incentive Plan to the Directors.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Performance Rights under the Incentive Plan to the Directors.
10.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Performance Rights under the Incentive Plan and may need to consider other methods (such as cash payments) to remunerate and incentivise the Directors.
If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within 15 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14, as Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.14 approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required.

-
(iv) The number of Performance Rights to be issued to Relevant Directors has been determined based upon a consideration of:
-
A. the role and responsibilities of the Relevant Directors;

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 security will lapse. |
| Forfeiture of Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities will be forfeited in the following circumstances: • in the case of unvested Convertible Securities only, where the holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer employed or their office or engagement is discontinued with the Company and any Associated Bodies Corporate (as defined in the Corporations Act) (the Group); • where a Participant acts fraudulently, dishonestly, negligently, in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully breaches their duties to the Group and the Board exercises its discretion to deem some or all of the Convertible Securities held by a Participant to have been forfeited; • where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in accordance with the Plan; • on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or • on the Expiry Date, subject to the discretion of the Board. |
| Listing of Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities granted under the Plan will not be quoted on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. The Board reserves the right in its absolute discretion to apply for quotation of Convertible Securities granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. |
| Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise |
To exercise a security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise (Exercise Notice) and, subject to a cashless exercise (see next paragraph below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Securities (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice. In the case of Options, subject to the Board’s approval, in lieu of paying the aggregate exercise price specified in the Exercise Notice, the Participant may elect a cashless exercise (Cashless Exercise) whereby the Board will issue to the Participant that number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) calculated in accordance with the following formula: S=O* (MVS-EP) MVS Where: S = number of Shares to be issued on the exercise of the Options. O = number of Options being exercised. |
45
| MVS = market value of shares, being the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the five trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise. EP = Exercise Price of the Options. For the avoidance of doubt, if the sum of the above calculation is zero or negative, then the holder will not be entitled to use Cashless Exercise. Convertible Securities may not be exercised unless and until that security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules. |
|
|---|---|
| Timing of issue of Shares and quotation of Shares on exercise |
Within five business days after the issue of a valid notice of exercise 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. |
| Restriction periods and restrictions on transfer of Shares on exercise |
If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security 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. Additionally, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the following restrictions: • if the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act; • all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to restrictions imposed by applicable law on dealing in Shares by persons who possess material information likely to affect the value of the Shares and which is not generally available; and • all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the terms of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy. |
| Rights attaching to Shares on exercise |
All Shares issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities will rank equally in all respects with the then Shares of the Company. |
| Change of control | If a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50% of the Company’s issued capital), the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the holder’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the holder to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event. The Board may specify in the Invitation how the Convertible Securities will be treated on a change of control event occurring, or the Board determining that such event is likely to occur, which may vary depending upon circumstances in which the Participant becomes a leaver and preserve some or all of the Board’s discretion under this rule. |
| Participation in entitlements and bonus issues |
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs, Participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues. |
| Adjustment for bonus issue |
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 Participant is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue 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. |
| 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 |
46
| the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. |
|
|---|---|
| Employee Share Trust | The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding Convertible Securities for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of holders upon exercise of Convertible Securities. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Income Tax Assessment Act |
The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax Assessment Act_ 1997(Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act) except to the extent an invitation provides otherwise. |
