  • (f) ( Fraudulent or dishonest action ): If a holder ceases to be an employee or Director of the Company in circumstances where the cessation or termination is

specifically referenced to the holder having been found to have acted fraudulently or dishonestly in the performance of his or her duties, then:

  • (i) the Board must deem any Performance Rights of the holder to have immediately lapsed and be forfeited; and

  • (ii) any Performance Rights that have vested will continue in existence in accordance with their terms of issue only if the relevant Performance Milestone Conditions have previously been met, and any Shares issued on satisfaction of the applicable Performance Milestone Conditions will remain the property of the holder.

  • (g) ( Ceasing to be an employee or Director ): If a holder ceases to be an employee or Director of the Company in circumstances where the cessation or termination arises because the holder:

  • (i) voluntarily resigns his or her position (other than to take up employment with a subsidiary of the Company);

  • (iii) is convicted of a criminal offence which, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, might tend to injure the reputation or the business of the Company; or

  • (iv) is found guilty of a breach of the Corporations Act and the Board considers that it brings the holder or the Company into disrepute,

  • (i) death or total permanent disability (in respect of total permanent disability being that because of a sickness or injury, the holder is unable to work in his or her own or any occupation for which they are suited by training, education, or experience for a period beyond one year);

  • (ii) redundancy (being where the holder ceases to be an employee or Director due to the Company no longer requiring the holder’s position to be performed by any person); or

  • (iii) any other reason, other than a reason listed in rules (f) and (g) (not including (g)(i), in which case the Board may exercise its absolute

discretion to allow the resigned to retain their Performance Right), that the Board determines is reasonable to permit the holder to retain his or her Performance Rights,

and in those circumstances the Performance Rights will continue to be subject to the applicable Performance Milestone Conditions.

  • (iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the conversion of the Performance Rights.

If a notice delivered under (k)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.

  • (l) ( Transfer of Performance Rights ): The Performance Rights are not transferable.

  • (m) ( Participation in new issues ) A Performance Right does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a Performance Right) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.

  • (n) ( Reorganisation of capital ) If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation.

  • (o) ( Adjustment for bonus issue ) If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the number of Shares or other securities which must be issued on the conversion of a Performance Right will be increased by the number of Shares or other securities which the holder would

have received if the holder had converted the Performance Right before the record date for the bonus issue.

  • (p) ( Dividend and Voting Rights ): The Performance Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends.

  • (q) ( Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares ): If the conversion of a Performance Right would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:

  • (i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition;

  • (ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (q)(i) within seven days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.

  • (r) ( No rights to return of capital ) A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

  • (s) ( Rights on winding up ) A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.

  • (t) ( Tax Deferral ) For the avoidance of doubt, Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997¸ which enables tax deferral on performance rights, applies (subject to the conditions in that Act) to the Performance Rights.

  • (u) ( No other rights ) A Performance Right gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.

  • (v) ( ASX Listing Rule compliance ): The Board reserves the right to amend any term of the Performance Rights to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules or any requirement of ASX.
