3. Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) – Ratification of prior issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares – Listin Rules 7.1 and 7.1A g

3.1 Background

On 8 July 2024, the Company announced that it had received commitments from sophisticated and professional investors ( Placement Participants ) for a placement to raise up to a total of $1,150,000 (before costs) ( Placement ) through the issue of up to a total of 287,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.004 per Share ( Placement Shares ), together with free-attaching Options exercisable at $0.01 and expiring 15 July 2027 ( Placement Options ) on the basis of one (1) Placement Options for every two (2) Placement Shares subscriber for and issued.

The funds raised from the Placement will be issued to advance the drilling program at the Boulia Project and the ongoing development of the McIntosh Graphite Project.

The Placement is being conducted in two tranches, as follows:

  • (a) Tranche 1 comprises the issue of 250,000,000 Placement Shares ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ) to Placement Participants ( Tranche 1 Placement Participants ), as follows:

  • (i) 136,341,498 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity;

9

  • (ii) 113,658,502 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A capacity; and

  • (b) Tranche 2 comprises the issue of 37,500,000 Placement Shares ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ) to Placement Participants ( Tranche 2 Placement Participants ) subject to Shareholder approval.

Whairo Capital Pty Ltd ( Lead Manager ) acted as lead manager for the Placement and will receive 20,000,000 Options (on the same terms and conditions as the Placement Options) ( Lead Manager Options ) subject to Shareholder approval (the subject to Resolution 4).

Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of a total of 250,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued to the Tranche 1 Placement Participants on 15 July 2024.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 37,500,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Tranche 2 Placement Participants.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 143,750,000 Placement Options to the Placement Participants based on their participation in the Placement.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 20,000,000 Lead Manager Options to the Lead Manager (and/or its nominees).

3.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The issue of the Tranche 1 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 effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolutions passed at its annual general meeting, to increase the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 by an extra 10% to a combined 25%.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

3.3 ASX Listing Rules 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under

10

Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) seek Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares under and for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4.

3.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1(a) and (b) are passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) are not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

3.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b):

  • (a) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to the Tranche 1 Placement Participants, being sophisticated and professional investors who are clients of the Lead Manager. The Placement Participants were identified through a book build process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from non-related parties of the Company;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the Tranche 1 Placement Participants are:

  • (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;

  • (c) a total of 250,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued, as follows:

3.6

Board Recommendation

The Directors of the Company believe Resolutions 1(a) and 1(b) are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions.

4. Resolution 2 – Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares

4.1 General

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 37,500,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Tranche 2 Placement Participants pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

Further details regarding the Placement are set out in Section 3.1 above.

4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 3.2 above.

The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares. In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares 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

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares, as the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are subject to shareholder approval, and therefore, the Company will not be able to complete Tranche 2 of the Placement.

4.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options and the Company may need to agree alternative form of compensation to the Lead Manager.

  • (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 of Related Party Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Pretorius is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a former Director, having resigned within the last 6 months.

16

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Related Party Shares because the issue of the Related Party Shares will be made in lieu of stator employee entitlements payable to Mr Pretorius in connection with his resignation as Executive Chairman of the Company.

7.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

If Resolution 5 is passed, then the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Shares to Leon Pretorius (or his nominee/s).

8. Resolution 6 – Approval to issue Performance Rights to Director under the Plan – Clinton Booth

8.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue 20,000,000 Performance Rights to Clinton Booth (and/or his nominees) pursuant to the Plan.

The Board is committed to incentivising and retaining Key Management Personnel in a manner which promotes alignment of their interests with the interests of the Company and its shareholders. As a result, the Board has resolved, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue to issue 20,000,000 Performance Rights to Clinton Booth under the Plan, which is intended to incentivise him in his ongoing role as CEO and Managing Director of the Company.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of these Performance Rights for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

8.2

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

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

18

  • (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 of the Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit. Clinton Booth is a related party of the Company by reason of being a Director.

Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval under section 208 is not required if the financial benefit to be provided to the related party is remuneration as an officer or employee of the company and to give remuneration would be reasonable given the circumstances of the company giving the remuneration and the related party’s circumstances (including responsibilities involved in the office or employment).

In the circumstances, the Directors (other than Clinton Booth, who did not participate in the decision due to his material personal interest in Resolution 6) have determined that the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies in relation to the proposed issue of Performance Rights under Resolution 6 as the proposed issue is considered reasonable remuneration given Mr Booth’s role as CEO and Managing Director.

8.3 ASX Listing Rules 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • (a) a director of the company;

  • (b) an associate of a director of the company; or

  • (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.

The proposed issue of the Performance Rights requires approval by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 as the recipient of the Performance Rights is a Director of the Company.

As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (or 10.11) is not required. Accordingly, the issue of the Performance Rights will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

8.4 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 6 is passed, then the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to Clinton Booth (or his nominee/s).

If Resolution 6 is not passed, then the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to Clinton Booth (or his nominee/s). The Company may have to consider alternative methods of providing incentivisation or remuneration to Mr Booth, which may take the form of cash-based payments, which would potentially reduce the Company’s cash reserves.

8.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15

  • (iii) Despite any other provision, the exercise of any Performance Rights is subject to the Company obtaining any required shareholder or regulatory approval for the purpose of issuing the Conversion Shares. If exercise of all or part of the Performance Rights would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) then the exercise of each Performance Right that would cause the contravention will be deferred until such time or times that the exercise would not at a later date result in a contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act. The holder must give prior written notice to the Company if it

27

considers that the exercise of all or part of its Performance Rights may result in the contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act, failing which the Company will be entitled to assume that the exercise of the Performance Rights under these terms will not result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act.

  • (iv) Each Conversion Share will rank equally with a fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company.

  • (v) The Performance Rights will not be quoted on any securities exchange and the Company will not make an application for quotation in respect of them.

(d) Expiry

Performance Rights will automatically be deemed to be terminated and cancelled by the Company for nil cash consideration in the event:

  • (i) the holder ceases to be employed, or their engagement is discontinued (for whatever reason), with the Company, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion; or

  • (ii) they have not otherwise been validly exercised into Conversion Shares on or before the earlier of the relevant Expiry Date.

  • (e)

Transferability

The Performance Rights are not transferable.

(f)

Compliance with the law

  • (i) Despite anything else contained in these terms, if the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or Constitution prohibits an act being done, that act must not be done.

  • (ii) Nothing contained in these terms prevents an act being done that the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or Constitution require to be done.

  • (iii) If the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or Constitution conflict with these terms, or these terms do not comply with the Corporations Act, Listing Rules or the Constitution, the holder authorises the Company to do anything necessary to rectify such conflict or non-compliance, including but not limited to unilaterally amending these terms.

  • (iv) The terms of the Performance Rights may be amended as necessary by the directors of the Company in order to comply with the Listing Rules, or any directions of ASX regarding the terms in order to comply with the Listing Rules.

  • (v) Any reference to the Listing Rules in these terms and conditions is to be complied with only where the Company is admitted to the official list of ASX at the relevant time.

(g) Control Event

  • (i) A change of control event ( Control Event ) occurs where:

  • (ii) All the Performance Rights on issue shall automatically vest (without the need for any Vesting Notice) and become exercisable by the holder into Conversion Shares upon the occurrence of a Control Event. Following which, the holder can exercise the Performance Rights into a Conversion Share in accordance with paragraph (c)(iii).

  • (iii) The automatic conversion shall only occur if the relevant Control Event is triggered by a person who does not control the entity at the time the Performance Rights were issued

29

SCHEDULE 4 – SUMMARY OF TERMS OF EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN

A summary of the terms of the Plan is set out below:

  • (h) ( Eligible Participant ): Eligible Participant means a person that:

  • (i) is an ‘ESS participant’ (as that term is defined in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act) in relation to the Company for an invitation made on or after 1 October 2022; and

  • (ii) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.

  • (i) ( Purpose ): The purpose of the Plan is to:

  • (i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;

  • (ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and

  • (iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.

  • (j) ( Plan administration ): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion except to the extent that it prevents the Company relying on the deferred tax concessions under Subdivision B3A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth). The Board may delegate its powers and discretion

  • (k) ( Eligibility, invitation and application ): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

  • (l) ( Grant of Securities ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

  • (m) ( Terms of Convertible Securities ): Each 'Convertible Security' represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. Unless in ‘Special Circumstances’ (as defined in the Plan) with the consent of the Board, a Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over, collateralise a margin loan against, utilise for the purposes of short selling, enter into a Derivative with reference to, or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

30

  • (n) ( Vesting of Convertible Securities ): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. 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 Convertible Security will lapse.

  • (o) ( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise an Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

  • (p) ( Cashless exercise of Convertible Securities ): At the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, subject to Board approval at that time, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

If the difference between the total exercise price otherwise payable for the Convertible Securities being exercised and the then market Value of the Share at the time of exercise and the exercise price is zero or negative, then the Eligible Participant will not be entitled to use the cashless exercise facility.

  • (q) ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security 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.

  • (r) ( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, acted negligently, acted in contravention of a Group policy or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board will deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:

  • (i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and

  • (ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.

31

  • (s) ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.

  • (t) ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.

  • (u) ( Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.

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

  • (i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or

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

  • (v) ( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

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 holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment 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.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

  • (w) ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.

  • (x) ( Compliance with Applicable Laws ): Notwithstanding the Plan rules or any terms of a Security, no Security may be offered, granted, vested or exercised, and no Share may be issued or transferred, if to do so would contravene any applicable laws.

Where monetary consideration is payable by the Eligible Participant, and in respect to Convertible Securities where the Exercise Price on exercise of those Convertible Securities is greater than zero, the Company must reasonably believe when making an invitation:

  • (i) the total number of Plan Shares that are, or are covered by the Securities that may be issued under an invitation; and

32

  • (ii) the total number of Plan Shares that are, or are covered by the Securities that have been issued, or could have been issued in connection with the Plan in reliance on Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act at any time during the previous 3 year period prior to the date the invitation is made,

does not exceed:

  • (iii) if the Constitution specifies an issue cap percentage, that percentage; or

  • (iv) if the Constitution does not specify an issue cap percentage, 5% (or such other maximum permitted under any Applicable Law),

of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the invitation.

  • (y) ( 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.

  • (z) ( 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.
