5. APPROVAL TO ISSUE SECURITIES UNDER THE GLG CORP PERFORMANCE RIGHTS PLAN
| Resolution 4 | Approval to issue securities under the GLG Corp Performance Rights Plan |
|---|---|
| Explanation | The Directors consider it desirable for the Company to operate an employee incentive scheme pursuant to which Directors, employees and certain consultants (together, theEligible Participants) may be offered the opportunity to be granted performance rights under the PR Plan, which will be converted to Shares if the specified performance criteria are satisfied within the specified performance period (Performance Rights). The PR Plan will increase the range of potential incentives available to Eligible Participants and will align the interests of the Eligible Participants with the Company's performance. Listing Rule 7.1 broadly provides that a company may issue equity securities (such as Performance Rights and Shares) (Equity Securities) up to 15% of its issued capital in any 12-month period without Shareholder approval. Listing Rule 7.2 allows certain issues of Equity Securities to be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities issued in the 12-month period, including under Exception 13(b) where an issue of Equity Securities is made under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the issue date, the holders of the entity's ordinary securities have approved the issue of Equity Securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) for the issue of Equity Securities under the PR Plan. The Plan is designed to provide incentives to Eligible Participants and to recognise their contribution to the Company’s success. The Directors consider that the issue of Performance Rights (and the issue of Shares upon the vesting of those Performance Rights) to Eligible Participants: a) is a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide incentives to these individuals, as opposed to alternative forms of incentives such as cash bonuses or increased remuneration; b) is a flexible form of long-term remuneration, enabling the Company to provide incentives over various periods of time; c) enables the Company to attract and retain employees and Directors who can assist the Company in achieving its objectives; d) encourages continued improvement in performance over time; and e) encourages personnel to acquire and retain significant shareholdings in the Company. Under the PR Plan, the Board may grant to Eligible Participants the number of Performance Rights as the Board may decide and, on the terms set out in the rules of the PR Plan, a summary of which is set out in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum (PR Plan Rules). The number of Performance Rights to be granted to each Eligible Participant under the PR Plan will be granted on the basis of the contribution of the relevant Eligible Participants to the Company. The maximum number of Performance Rights proposed to be issued under the PR Plan followingShareholder approval over the next threeyears is approximately |
==> picture [104 x 474] intentionally omitted <==
2,000,000 Performance Rights (some or all of which may vest and convert to Shares). This maximum is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of Performance Rights to be issued under the PR Plan but is specified for the purposes of setting a ceiling on the number of Performance Rights approved to be issued under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13. Once this number is reached, the Company will need to seek fresh approval from Shareholders, otherwise any additional issues of Performance Rights under the PR Plan over the maximum will count towards the calculation of the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue 2,000,000 Performance Rights under the PR Plan without those Performance Rights counting towards the calculation of the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights under the PR Plan, however the issue of those Performance Rights will count towards the calculation of the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, and therefore effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities which may be issued without Shareholder approval.
In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b), the following information is provided:
-
a) A summary of the PR Plan is provided at Schedule 1 to this Notice and Explanatory Memorandum, and a full copy of the PR Plan is available on the Company’s website.
-
b) As the PR Plan has only recently been established, no Equity Securities have been granted under the PR Plan to date.
-
c) The maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan following Shareholder approval of this Resolution 4 is 2,000,000 and will not exceed 5% of the Company’s total issued Shares when aggregated with the number of Equity Securities issued. Once this number is reached, the Company will need to seek fresh approval from Shareholders if the subsequent issue of Performance Rights is to fall within Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13.
| and will not exceed 5% of the Company’s total issued Shares when aggregated with the number of Equity Securities issued. Once this number is reached, the Company will need to seek fresh approval from Shareholders if the subsequent issue of Performance Rights is to fall within Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13. |
