For the avoidance of doubt, the imposition of a restriction on the Plan Shares held by a Participant pursuant to clause 16.1 will not affect the Participant’s entitlement to receive a notice of, or to vote or attend at, a meeting of the members of the Company or Shareholders, and to receive any dividends declared by the Company during the relevant restriction period.

16.6 Company’s Share Trading Policy

At all times Participants must comply with any Share Trading Policy.

17. Change of Control Event

On the occurrence of a Change of Control Event, the Board will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the manner in which all unvested and vested Awards will be dealt with.

18. Bonus issues and reconstruction

18.1 Bonus issues

• (a) If Securities are issued by way of a “bonus issue” (as that term is defined in the Listing Rules) to the holders of Shares, a Participant is entitled, upon Exercise of an Award, to receive, in addition to any Plan Share acquired upon the Vesting and Exercise of the Award, and without the payment of any further consideration, the number of Securities that the Participant would have received if the Award had vested and been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

• (b) Any additional Securities to which a Participant becomes entitled under clause 18.1(a) will, until those additional Securities are allotted and issued, or transferred, to the Participant, be regarded as:

• (i) additional Securities into which the Awards may vest for the purposes of any subsequent application of clause 18.1(a); and

17

GR Engineering Services Limited Equity Incentive Plan

• (ii) additional Awards to which the Participant is entitled for the purposes of any application of clause 18.3.

18.2 Pro rata issue

• (a) Pro rata issue and Performance Rights

As Performance Rights have a nil exercise price, no adjustment will be required in the case of a “pro rata issue”.

• (b) Pro rata issue and Share Appreciation Rights

If there is a “pro rata issue” (as that term is defined in the Listing Rules, except a bonus issue) to the holders of Shares, the Initial Market Value will be reduced according to the following formula:

• O’ = O - [P - (S + D)]

N+1

where:

• O’ = the Initial Market Value immediately following the adjustment;

• O = the Initial Market Value immediately prior to the adjustment;

• P = the volume weighted average market price per Share during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date;

• S = the subscription price for a Share under the pro rata issue;

• D = any dividend due but not yet paid on a Share (except any Share to be issued under the pro rata issue); and

• N

• = the number of Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new Share.

18.3 Reorganisation

(a) Performance Rights

In the event of any reorganisation (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction, return or cancellation) of the Issued Capital of the Company, the number of Performance Rights to which a Participant is entitled will be changed in accordance with the Listing Rules.

(b) Share Appreciation Rights

In the event of any reorganisation (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction, return or cancellation) of the Issued Capital of the Company, the number of Share Appreciation Rights to which a Participant is entitled, and/or the Initial Market Value will be changed in a similar manner to that required for options under the Listing Rules.

18

18.5 Fairness in application

In the application of this clause 18, the Board may (as far as possible) make whatever adjustments it deems necessary or desirable to ensure that the consequences of that application are fair as between the Participants and the holders of other securities in the Company, subject to the Listing Rules.
