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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A , however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ).
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. The number of Equity Securities to be
- 16 -
issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A (refer to Section 14.2(c)).
If Resolution 11 is passed, the effect will be that the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity in addition to the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 11 is not passed, the effect will be that the Company will not be able to access the Additional 10% Placement Capacity to issue the Equity Securities and will have to rely upon its 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
Resolution 11 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 11.

(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the Additional 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;
-
(ii) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; or
-
(iii) the time and date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
(the 10% Placement Period ).
14.3 Effect of Resolution
The effect of Resolution 11 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company's 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
14.4
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided:
-
(a) Shareholder approval will be valid during the 10% Placement Period as detailed in Section 14.2(f).
-
(b) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(c) If Resolution 11 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' voting power and economic dilution in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of listed Options, only if the listed Options are exercised). There is a risk that:
-
18 -
-
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(d) The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of the Notice.
-
(e) The table also shows:
-
(i) two examples where variable 'A' has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable 'A' is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.
| Dilution | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable 'A' in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |
$0.0275 50% decrease in Issue Price |
$0.055 Issue Price |
$0.11 100% increase in Issue Price |

| Current Variable 'A' 3,882,252,879 Shares |
10% voting dilution | 388,225,288 Shares | 388,225,288 Shares | 388,225,288 Shares |
| Funds raised | $10,676,195 | $21,352,391 | $42,704,782 | |
| 50% increase in current Variable 'A' 5,823,379,319 Shares |
10% voting dilution | 582,337,932 Shares | 582,337,932 Shares | 582,337,932 Shares |
| Funds raised | $16,014,293 | $32,028,586 | $64,057,173 | |
| 100% increase in current Variable 'A' 7,764,505,758 Shares |
10% voting dilution | 776,450,576 Shares | 776,450,576 Shares | 776,450,576 Shares |
| Funds raised | $21,352,391 | $42,704,782 | $85,409,563 |
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity.
-
(ii) No Options and/or Performance Rights (including any Options and/or Performance Rights issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(iii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
(iv) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes listed Options, it is assumed that those listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
(vii) The issue price is $0.055, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 6 October 2025. The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.
-
(f) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards the continued exploration and development of its Drummond Basin gold projects in Queensland, business development activities and for general working capital.
-
19 -
-
(g) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 11 for the issue of Equity Securities will cease to be valid on the earlier of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;
-
(ii) the time and date of the entity's next annual general meeting; or
-
(iii) the time and date that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature of scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(h) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.3 upon issue of any Equity Securities.
-
(i) The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of the subscribers of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
-
(j) The subscribers under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company and are likely to be sophisticated and professional investors.
-
(k) In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting, and assuming no further issue of Equity Securities between the date of this Notice and the Meeting, the Company has issued 503,894,175 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2:
-
(i) The 503,894,175 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 comprise:
-
(A) 115,668,888 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company via a placement to professional and sophisticated investors on 27 June 2025 to raise $694,013 (before costs). Each Share was issued at an issue price of $0.006 per Share, which represents a 0% discount to the closing price on 19 June 2025. The sophisticated and professional investors were identified by the Company through a bookbuild process. None of the participants in the placement were related parties or associates of related parties of the Company other than Mr Ian Middlemas, Director, and Mr Robert Behets, Director, pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 (exception 12); and
-
(B) 388,225,287 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company via a placement to professional and sophisticated investors on 16 October 2025 to raise $20,575,940 (before costs). Each Share was issued at an issue price of $0.053 per Share, which represents a 3.6% discount to the closing price on 6 October 2025. The sophisticated and professional investors were identified by the Company through a bookbuild process.
-
(C) The Company has utilised the full $694,013 (before costs) raised from the issue of 115,668,888 Shares for the Company's exploration and development activities in Queensland and South Australia, business development opportunities and general working capital.
-
(D) The Company has not utilised the $20,575,940 (before costs) raised from the issue of 388,225,287 Shares. The Company intends to use the funds for the Company's exploration and development activities in Queensland, business development opportunities and general working capital.
-
-
(ii) The 503,894,175 Shares represents approximately 43% of the total number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the 12-month period, 19 November 2024.
-
(l) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 11. However as at the date of the Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

14.5 Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11.
15 Resolution 12 – Ratify the Issue of Options under Listing Rule 7.4
15.1 Background
On 11 August 2025, the Company announced the appointment of Mr Daniel Hastings as Chief Executive Officer. Mr Hastings has led exploration, technical services, and study teams on world-class assets including Ok Tedi, Telfer, and Lumwana, delivering multi-billion-dollar growth and efficiency gains. He has a proven track record of exploration success, notably bringing the Simberi Gold Project into development following a prolonged period of inactivity, and leading the discovery and drill-out of a +5Moz Au equivalent deposit near Ok Tedi.
Mr Hastings also brings significant experience in strategic business and mine planning across a large range of commodities and assets classes. He has advised on numerous high-value transactions and led major studies, including key roles at Newcrest where he was responsible for studies across the global portfolio, including the identification of more than US$1 billion in organic growth opportunities.
As part of his remuneration package, Mr Hastings (and/or his nominee(s)) was granted and issued 50,000,000 incentive options exercisable at A$0.03 each, expiring 11 August 2028, vesting upon commencement of employment, utilising the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 12 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the prior issue of the 50,000,000 Options pursuant to the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 12 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 12.
15.2 Listing Rule 7.4
Refer to Section 12.2 for a summary of the 15% Placement Capacity.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that if the Company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of Equity Securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those Equity Securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future up to the 15% Placement Capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 12 is passed, the 50,000,000 Options will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period from 11 August 2025.
If Resolution 12 is not passed, the 50,000,000 Options will be included in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period from 11 August 2025.
15.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
The following information must be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval:
-
(a) the 50,000,000 Options were issued to Mr Daniel Hastings (and/or his nominee(s)), Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who is not a related party or associate of a related party of the Company;
-
(b) the 50,000,000 Options were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, ratification of which is sought pursuant to Resolution 12;
-
(c) the material terms of the Options are detailed in Schedule 3;
-
(d) the Options were issued on 11 August 2025;
-
(e) the Options were granted for nil consideration;
-
(f) the Options are a cost effective and efficient reward for the Company to appropriately incentivise continued performance of Mr Hastings and is considered by the Board to be consistent with the strategic goals and targets of the Company;
-
21 -
(g) the Options granted to Mr Hastings have a total value of $1,066,790 according to the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model; and
(h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 12.
15.4 Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 12.
16 Resolution 13 – Adoption of New Constitution
16.1 General
The Company's existing Constitution was previously reviewed and adopted by the Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting on 30 November 2022 ( Existing Constitution ). The Board has conducted a review of the Existing Constitution, and in view of changes to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, and recent developments in corporate governance and current market practice, has resolved that it would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to repeal the Existing Constitution and replace it with a new constitution ( New Constitution ) as opposed to making multiple amendments to the Existing Constitution. The New Constitution does not make any changes to Shareholders' fundamental rights (including voting rights, transmission rights, dividend entitlements).
Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the New Constitution in accordance with section 136 of the Corporations Act.
Resolution 13 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
A copy of the New Constitution will be sent to any Shareholder on request and will also be available for inspection at the office of the Company during normal business hours prior to the Meeting and available for inspection at the Meeting.
The New Constitution will be effective from the close of the Meeting.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 13.
16.2 Summary of New Constitution
The key provisions of the New Constitution are summarised in Schedule 4
16.3 Board recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 13.
17 Resolution 14 – Appointment of Auditor
17.1 General
Resolution 14 seeks Shareholder approval for the appointment of William Buck Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ( William Buck ) as the auditor for the Company.
Effective from the date of the Meeting, HLB Mann Judd will resign as auditor of the Company after receiving ASIC's consent to the resignation pursuant to section 329(5) of the Corporations Act. The Board thanks HLB Mann Judd for its services provided as auditor of the Company.
In accordance with section 327B(1)(b) of the Corporations Act, the Company seeks Shareholder approval to appoint William Buck as auditor to fill the vacancy in the office of auditor.
Pursuant to section 328B of the Corporations Act, the Company has received a nomination from a shareholder for William Buck to act as its auditor. A copy of the nomination is attached to this Notice in Schedule 2. The Company confirms that William Buck has given and not withdrawn its consent to act as auditor as at the date of the Notice.
Resolution 14 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 14.
17.2 Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 14.
- 22 -
18 Resolution 15 – Approval of Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors
18.1 General
In accordance with Article 14.7 of the Constitution, the remuneration of the non-executive Directors shall not be varied except pursuant to a resolution passed by Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.
Listing Rule 10.17 provides the Company must not increase the total aggregate amount of non-executive Directors' fees payable by it and any of its child entities without the approval of Shareholders. Listing Rule 10.17 also provides that the Notice must include the amount of the increase, the maximum aggregate amount that may be paid to the non-executive Directors as a whole, details of any securities issued to a non-executive Director under Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 with Shareholder approval within the preceding three years and a voting exclusion statement. Listing Rule 10.17 does not apply to the salary of an executive Director.
Resolution 15 seeks Shareholder approval to set the maximum aggregate remuneration payable to non-executive Directors at $400,000 per annum.
The Board believes that the remuneration of the Directors must be maintained at a level consistent with similarly sized ASX listed companies, taking into account the time commitment of the role and Company performance. The increase in the aggregate remuneration pool sought by Resolution 15 is designed to:
-
(a) accommodate an increase in the number of non-executive Directors, if such an increase is considered appropriate; and
-
(b) allow for future increases in remuneration to current or future non-executive Directors, should this be considered appropriate.
The maximum aggregate amount does not include any matters excluded from Directors' fees pursuant to the Listing Rules governing the total aggregate amount of Directors' fees payable to the non-executive Directors and any Equity Securities issued to non-executive Directors as permitted by the Listing Rules.
If Resolution 15 is passed, it will ensure the Company has adequate flexibility to increase the size of the Board or the remuneration of non-executive Directors, as and when the business of the Company requires. If Resolution 15 is not passed, the Company will not have additional flexibility to increase the remuneration of non-executive Directors beyond the current maximum aggregate remuneration pool of $200,000.
If Resolution 15 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed increase the aggregate amount of fees available to be paid to non-executive Directors by $200,000 from the current $200,000 per annum to an aggregate amount of $400,000 per annum. This may inhibit the ability of the Company to remunerate, attract and retain appropriately skilled non-executive Directors.
Resolution 15 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 15.
18.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.17
The following information in relation to Resolution 15 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.17:
-
(a) Shareholder approval is being sought to increase the fee pool by approximately A$200,000, which would increase the annual remuneration pool from A$200,000 to A$400,000.
-
(b) Subject to Shareholders approving Resolution 15, the maximum aggregate amount of Directors fees that may be paid to all of the Company’s non-executive Directors will be A$400,000 per annum.
-
(c) In the last 3 years, there have been no securities issued to non-executive Directors under Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 (with Shareholder approval).
-
(d) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 15.
-
(e) Directors may be entitled to further remuneration if they are called upon to perform additional services or make special exertions on behalf of the Company or the business of the Company.
18.3 Board Recommendation
The Board (excluding Mr Andrew Krelle) do not give a recommendation on Resolution 15 in view of their personal interest in the Resolution. Mr Krelle recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 15.
- 23 -
19 Resolution 16 – Spill Resolution (Conditional Resolution)
19.1 General
In accordance with section 250V of the Corporations Act, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company must put to vote at the second annual general meeting a resolution ( Spill Resolution ) on whether all Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for reelection.
The Company's 2024 remuneration report received a Strike at the 2024 annual general meeting. Resolution 16 is a conditional item of business and is subject to the result of Resolution 1.
If Resolution 1 receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at the Meeting, this will constitute a second Strike and Resolution 16 will be voted on.
If Resolution 1 receives a 'no' vote of less than 25% at the Meeting, then there will be no 'second Strike' and Resolution 16 will not be put to the Meeting. Any votes cast on the Spill Resolution prior to the withdrawal of the Spill Resolution will be treated as invalid.
Resolution 16 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available undirected proxies against Resolution 16.
If the Chairperson is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairperson is to vote on Resolution 16, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairperson with an express authorisation for the Chairperson to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairperson's intention, even though Resolution 16 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.
19.2 Effect of Spill Resolution if passed
If the Spill Resolution is put to the Meeting and more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene a Spill Meeting. All of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office when the Directors' Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2025 was approved (including the Remuneration Report) will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-appointment.
If the Spill Meeting is held, pursuant to section 250V(1)(b) of the Corporations Act, the following nonexecutive Directors would cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting unless they are re-elected at the Spill Meeting:
-
(a) Mr Ian Middlemas;
-
(b) Mr Peter Fox;
-
(c) Mr Robert Behets;
-
(d) Mr Andrew Krelle;
-
(e) Mr Liu Hang; and
-
(f) Mr Guan Huat Sunny Loh.
If Mr Ian Middlemas is re-elected under Resolution 2, he will still be required to vacate office and stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if Resolution 16 is passed.
If Messrs Fox, Behets, Krelle, Hang and Loh are elected under Resolutions 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, respectively, they will still be required to vacate office and stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if Resolution 16 is passed.
Shareholders will vote on the re-appointment of the Directors listed above and/or election of new Directors at the Spill Meeting.
In accordance with section 250X of the Corporations Act, if there would be fewer than three Directors after the Spill Meeting, two positions will be filled by the Directors who have the highest percentage of votes favouring appointment (even if less than half the votes cast on the resolution at the Spill Meeting were in favour of their appointment).
19.3 Additional information
The Board considers that it currently has the right mix of skills and experience. Accordingly, if the Spill Resolution is passed, the potential change to the Board composition has the ability to negatively impact the implementation of the Company’s strategic objectives.
- 24 -
If Resolution 16 is put to Shareholders at the Meeting and you do not want a Spill Meeting to be held, you should vote against Resolution 16. If you want a Spill Meeting to be held, you should vote in favour of Resolution 16.
19.4 Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote AGAINST Resolution 16.

Any notice of exercise of a Consultant Option received by the Company will be deemed to be a notice of the exercise of that Consultant Option as at the date of receipt.
5. Cashless Exercise of Options
-
(a) Subject to item 5(b), the holder may elect to pay the Exercise Price for each Consultant Option by setting off the total Exercise Price against the number of Shares which they are entitled to receive upon exercise ( Cashless Exercise Facility ).

-
(b) If the holder elects to use the Cashless Exercise Facility, the holder will only be issued that number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) as is equal in value to the difference between the total Exercise Price otherwise payable for the Options on the Options being exercised and the then market value of the Shares at the time of exercise calculated in accordance with the following formula:
S = O x (MSP - EP)
MSP
Where:
S = Number of Shares to be issued on exercise of the Consultant Options
O = Number the Consultant Options being exercised
MSP = Market value of the Shares calculated using the volume weighted average of the Shares on ASX for the 5 trading days immediately prior to (and excluding) the date of the Notice of Exercise
EP = Exercise Price
- (c) If the difference between the total Exercise Price otherwise payable for the Options on the Options being exercised and the then market value of the Shares at the time of exercise (calculated in accordance with item 5(b)) is zero or negative, then the holder will not be entitled to use the Cashless Exercise Facility.
6. Shares issued on exercise
Shares issued on exercise of the Consultant Options rank equally with the then Shares of the Company.
7. Quotation of Shares on exercise
Subject to admittance to the Official List of the ASX and the ASX Listing Rules, application will be made by the Company to ASX for official quotation of the Shares issued upon the exercise of the Consultant Options.

10. Participation in new issues
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Consultant Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Consultant Options.
However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least ten business days after the issue is announced. This will give the holders of Consultant Options the opportunity to exercise their Consultant Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

12. Adjustment for rights issue
- 30 -
If the Company makes an issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders there will be no adjustment of the Exercise Price of a Consultant Option.
13. Adjustments for reorganisation

Schedule 4
Summary of New Constitution
1. Shares
The issue of Shares by the Company is under the control of the Directors, subject to the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and any rights attached to any special class of Shares.
2. Preference Shares
The Corporations Act requires certain rights of preference shares to be either set out in the constitution or approved in general meeting by special resolution before preference shares are issued.
The New Constitution sets out a framework of rights for preference share issues from which the Board can determine to issue preference shares, without the need to obtain further Shareholder approval every time an allotment of preference shares is proposed. Schedule 6 to the New Constitution contains the framework as well as specific rights of preference shares as to the repayment of capital, requirements for redemption (if the preference shares are redeemable), participation in surplus assets and profits, voting rights and priority of payment of capital and dividends. Other specific terms, including the dividend amount, the redemption date (if applicable) and redemption amount (if applicable), would be set by the issuing resolution of the Directors.
3. Reductions of Capital
The New Constitution is consistent with the Corporations Act requirements which must be satisfied by the Company in undertaking an alteration of capital.
4. Liens
If the Company issues partly paid Shares and a call made on those shares is unpaid, the Company will have a lien over the shares on which the call is unpaid. The lien may be enforced by a sale of those shares. The powers of the Company in relation to calls, company payments, forfeiture and liens are set out in schedule 2 to the New Constitution.
5. Transfer of Shares
The Company may participate in any clearing and settlement facility provided under the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Corporation Pty Ltd ( ASC ) Operating Rules. Transfers through ASC are effected electronically in ASC's Clearing House Electronic Sub register System ( CHESS ). For the purposes of the Company's participation in the CHESS, the Company may issue holding statements in lieu of share certificates. The Company will not charge any fee for registering a transfer of shares. The Directors may refuse to register a transfer of shares in the circumstances permitted or required under the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.
6. Proportional Takeovers
A proportional takeover bid is one in which the offer or offers only to buy a specified proportion of each Shareholders' shares.
The New Constitution provides for Shareholder approval of any proportional takeover bid for the shares. Subject to the Listing Rules and ASC Operating Rules, the provisions require the Directors to refuse to register any transfer of shares made in acceptance of a proportional takeover offer until the requisite Shareholder approval has been obtained.
A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. The proportional takeover provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.
At the date of this Notice, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.
The perceived advantages of including proportional takeover provisions in a constitution are that such provisions may:
-
(i) enhance the bargaining power of Directors in connection with any potential sale of the Company;
-
(ii) improve corporate management by eliminating the possible threat of a hostile takeover through longer term planning;
(iii) make it easier for Directors to discharge their fiduciary and statutory duties to the Company and its Shareholders to advise and guide in the event of a proportional bid occurring; and
- (iv) strengthen the position of Shareholders of the Company in the event of a takeover, assuming the takeover will result in a sharing of wealth between the offeror and Shareholders, as the more cohesive Shareholders are in determining their response the stronger they are. A requirement for approval can force Shareholders to act in a more cohesive manner. Where Shareholders know that a bid will only be successful if a specified majority of Shareholders accept the offer, they have less to fear by not tendering to any offer which they think is too low.
The perceived disadvantages of including proportional takeover provisions in a constitution include the following:
-
(v) a vote on approval of a specific bid suffers from a bias in favour of the incumbent Board;
-
32 -
(vi) the provisions are inconsistent with the principle that a share in a public company should be transferable without the consent of other Shareholders; and
(vii) a Shareholder may lack a sufficient financial interest in any particular company to have an incentive to determine whether the proposal is appropriate.
To comply with the Corporations Act, the proportional takeover provisions must be renewed by Shareholders in general meeting at least every 3 years to remain in place.
While the proportional takeover provisions were in effect under the existing Constitution, there were no proportional takeover bids for the Company. Therefore, there has been no example against which to review the advantages or disadvantages of the provisions for the Directors and the Shareholders, respectively, during this period.
The proportional takeover provisions are contained in schedule 5 to the New Constitution.
7. Alterations of share capital
Shares may be converted or cancelled with Shareholder approval and the Company's share capital may be reduced in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
If a reduction of capital occurs by way of a distribution of shares or other securities in another body corporate, Shareholders (i) are deemed to have agreed to be members of and bound by the constitution of that body corporate, (ii) appoint the Company and its directors to execute any transfers to give effect to the distribution of shares or other securities and (iii) any binding instructions or notification given to the Company are deemed to be binding instructions or notifications to the other body corporate. The Company also has the discretion to not distribute the shares or other securities in the other body corporate and instead make a cash payment if the distribution would be illegal, give rise to unmarketable parcels or be unreasonable having regarding to the number, value and/or the legal requirements of distributions to Shareholders in particular overseas jurisdictions.
8. Buy Backs
The Company may buy back shares in itself on terms and at such times determined by the Directors.
9. Disposal of less than a Marketable Parcel
For the sake of avoiding excessive administration costs, the New Constitution contains provisions enabling the Company to procure the disposal of Shares where the Shareholder holds less than a marketable parcel of shares within the meaning of the Listing Rules (being a parcel of shares with a market value of less than $500). To invoke this procedure, the Directors must first give notice to the relevant Shareholder holding less than a marketable parcel of shares, who may then elect not to have his or her shares sold by notifying the Directors.
The provisions relating to unmarketable parcel are contained in schedule 4 to the New Constitution.
10. Variation of class rights
Class rights attaching to a particular class of shares may be varied or cancelled with the consent in writing of holders of 75% of the shares in that class or by a special resolution of the holders of shares in that class.
11.
Meetings of Shareholders
The Directors may call a meeting of Shareholders whenever they think fit. Shareholders may call a meeting as provided by the Corporations Act. The New Constitution contains provisions prescribing the content requirements of notices of meetings of Shareholders and all Shareholders are entitled to a notice of meeting. Consistent with the Corporations Act, a meeting may be held in two or more places linked together by audio-visual communication devices. A quorum for a meeting of Shareholders is 2 eligible voters.
The Company will hold annual general meetings in accordance with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
12. Virtual Meetings
A meeting of Shareholders may be held virtually using any technology that gives Shareholders as a whole a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting.
13. Voting of Shareholders
Resolutions of Shareholders will be decided by a show of hands unless a poll is demanded. On a show of hands each eligible voter present has one vote. On a poll each eligible Shareholder has one vote for each fully paid share held and a fraction of a vote for each partly paid share determined by the amount paid up on that share.
14. Direct Voting
The Directors may determine that Shareholders may cast votes to which they are entitled on any or all of the resolutions (including any special resolution) proposed to be considered at, and specified in the notice convening, a meeting of Shareholders, by direct vote. Direct voting is a mechanism by which Shareholders can vote directly on resolutions which are to be determined by poll. Votes cast by direct vote by a Shareholder are taken to have been cast on the poll as if the Shareholder had cast the votes on the poll at the meeting. In order for direct voting to be available, directors must elect that votes can be cast via direct vote for all or any resolutions and determine the manner appropriate for the casting of direct votes. If such a determination is made by the directors, the notice of meeting will include information on the application of direct voting.
15. Proxies
An eligible Shareholder may appoint a proxy to attend and vote at the meeting on the Shareholder's behalf. The New Constitution contains provisions specifying the manner of lodgement of proxy instruments. A Shareholder may appoint an individual or corporation to act as its representative.
- 33 -
16. Directors
Unless changed by the Company in general meeting, the minimum number of directors is 3 and no maximum number is specified. The Directors and the Company may at any time appoint any person as a Director. Any such Director must retire at the next following annual general meeting of the Company (at which meeting he or she may be eligible for re-election as director). No Director other than the Managing Director may hold office for longer than 3 years without submitting himself or herself for re-election.
17. Powers of Directors
The business of the Company is to be managed by or under the direction of the Directors.
18. Remuneration of Directors The Company may pay non-executive Directors a maximum of the total amount as determined by the Shareholders in General Meeting and such sum must not be paid by way of commission on, or percentage of, profits or operating revenue.
The remuneration of executive Directors will be subject to the provisions of any contract between each of them and the Company and may be by way of commission on, or percentage of, profits of the Company, but will not be by way of commission on, or percentage of, operating revenue.
19. Execution of documents
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution provides for execution of documents by the Company without the use of the Company's company seal.
20. Notice to Shareholders
The Constitution provides that notices provided to Shareholders can be provided in person, by post, fax, email, electronic means, by posting a notice identifying where a notice is available or any other means permitted by the Corporations Act.
21. Dividends
The Directors may fix the amount, the time for payment and the method of payment of a dividend. Subject to any special rights attaching to shares (such as preference shares), dividends will be paid proportionately.
The Company is not required to pay any interest on dividends.
22. Indemnities and insurance
To the extent permitted by law, the Company indemnifies every person who is or has been a Director or Secretary of the Company against a liability incurred by that person in his or her capacity as a Director or secretary. A similar indemnity is provided in respect of legal proceedings. The Company may also pay the premiums on directors' and officers' liability insurance.
23. Restricted Securities
The Company’s constitution complies with Listing Rule 15.12. Certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their controllers (such as related parties, promoters, substantial holders, service providers and their associates) are required to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form Appendix 9A. Those with less significant holdings (such as non-related parties and non-promoters), the Company will issue restriction notices to holders of restricted securities in the form Appendix 9C advising them of the restriction rather than requiring signed restriction agreements.
