If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of these Sub-Underwriting Options to the Unrelated Sub-Underwriters (or their respective nominees).

4.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following persons without the approval of its Shareholders:

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

The Related Party Sub-Underwriters are either a related party of the Company (being Director Cameron Henry) or an associate of a related party of the Company (being entities associated with Directors John Young and Patrick Murphy). Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Sub-Underwriting Options to the Related Party Sub-Underwriters (or their respective nominees) as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of up to 2,812,500 SubUnderwriting Options to the Related Party Sub-Underwriters (or their respective nominees) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3(a) to (c) (inclusive) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up to 2,812,500 Sub-Underwriting Options to the Related Party Sub-Underwriters (or their respective nominees).

Page 11

3468-5430-4312, v. 8

If Resolution 3(a) to (c) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of these Sub-Underwriting Options to the Related Party Sub-Underwriters (or their respective nominees).

Resolution 3(a) to (c) (inclusive) are not conditional on each other, and Shareholders may approve one or all of those Resolutions (in which case, the Sub-Underwriting Options the subject of the relevant Resolution(s) will be issued), even though Shareholders have not approved all of these Resolutions.

4.4

  • (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 proposed issue of Sub-Underwriting Options to the Related Party Sub-Underwriters constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.

The Board (with John Young, Cameron Henry and Patrick Murphy abstaining) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of these Sub-Underwriting Options because the Options will be issued on the same terms as those Sub-Underwriting Options issued to the Unrelated Sub-Underwriters and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
