EXPLANATORY NOTES

EXECUTIVE LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN ("LTP")

Plan Overview

The Company proposes to introduce an LTI that will be offered to key executives of the Company. Under the LTI, Performance Rights ("PRs") will be awarded to eligible senior executives of the Company. The vesting of those PRs will be subject to certain specified performance criteria. A summary of the key terms of the LTI are set out below.

Summary of terms of the LTI

The terms of the LTI are summarised below. A copy of the Performance Rights Plan, which contains the terms of the LTI, is available for inspection at the Company's registered office during business hours, or may be obtained free of charge by contacting the Company Secretary on (03) 9681 9681.

(a) Eligibility

Eligibility will be determined at the board's discretion, but will principally be targeted at attracting and retaining senior executives. Those eligible for participation in the LTI will be excluded from the Company's \$1,000 Employee Share Acquisition Scheme.

(b) Initial Award of Performance Rights ("PRs")

An offer of PRs, including the number of PRs to be offered, will be subject to terms and conditions as determined by the board on the occasion of each such offer. PRs will be awarded under the LTI for no consideration. The PRs will not vest until certain performance criteria are met. PRs will not attract dividends and voting rights at any time.

(c) Vesting

The performance period is three (3) years starting from the date of grant for the relevant financial year. Performance testing will occur on the first (1st), second (2nd) and third (3rd) anniversaries of the start of the performance period with relevant amounts vesting with reference to the performance criteria.

The performance criteria for the PRs are the factors which make up Total Shareholder Return ("TSR"). TSR performance will be tested with reference to the TSR Reference point calculated by averaging Globe's daily closing TSR values over the 20 ASX trading days following the full year result announcement in the year of grant.

(d) Share Issue Can

The aggregate of equity awarded under all Globe's equity incentive plans may not exceed 5% of Globe's issued capital. The board does not intend to issue PRs which would result in the aggregate number of shares issued to employees under the LTI exceeding 2% of Globe's issued capital.

(e) Management of the LTI

The LTI will be administered by the board, It is anticipated that the Company's current share registry provider will assist in the administration of the LTI.
