EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES AND OPTIONS TO OBSIDIAN

1.1 General

On 15 June 2023, the Company entered into a services agreement ( Service Agreement ) with Obsidian Metals Group Pty Ltd (ACN 635 559 321) ( Obsidian ). Pursuant to the Service Agreement, Obsidian will provide services in relation to exploring, evaluating and potentially developing lithium bearing pegmatites throughout the Company’s tenement package and broader West Pilbara region of Western Australia.

In accordance with the Service Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue 1,000,000 Shares and 35,000,000 Options as part consideration for services provided by Obsidian (together, the Obsidian Securities ). The Options comprise of the following tranches:

  • (a) 12,500,000 Options exercisable at $0.16 per Option on or before the date that is 2 years from the date of issue of the Options ( Class A Options ), vesting in accordance with the vesting conditions set out in Schedule 2;

  • (b) 12,500,000 Options exercisable at $0.225 per Option on or before the date that is 3 years from the date of issue of the Options ( Class B Options ), vesting in accordance with the vesting conditions set out in Schedule 2; and

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue of the Obsidian Securities falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

1.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Obsidian Securities. In addition, the issue of the Obsidian Securities will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Obsidian Securities and Obsidian may elect to terminate the Service Agreement as it will not receive the Obsidian Securities as part consideration. If the Service Agreement is terminated, Obsidian will not provide services under the Service Agreement to the Company to explore, evaluate and potentially develop

lithium bearing pegmatites throughout the Company’s tenement package and broader West Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Resolution 1 is independent of the other Resolutions set out in this Notice.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES

2.1 General

On 15 June 2023, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from Obsidian and its investors to subscribe for up to 6,944,445 Shares at an issue price of $0.144 per Share to raise up to $1,000,000 ( Capital Raising ). The Capital Raising will provide the Company with additional funds to investigate the potential for lithium in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia. Further details are set out in the ASX announcement dated 15 June 2023.

As summarised in Section 1.1, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period. The proposed issue of Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising does not fall within any of these exceptions and may exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of Shares.

2.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

The issue of Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and whilst the number of Shares may not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is asking Shareholders to approve the issue of the Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issue equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising. In addition, the issue of the Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company may not be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares and raise the additional funds, the Company will be limited in its capacity to explore for lithium in its tenements located in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia in conjunction with its continued exploration of copper and zinc projects.

Resolution 2 is independent of the other Resolutions set out in this Notice.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Shares.

2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Obsidian and professional and sophisticated investors who will be identified by the Directors;

5

5407-02/3226611_19

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 6,944,445. The Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares will occur progressively;

  • (e) the issue price will be $0.144 per Share. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Capital Raising is to raise $1,000,000. The Company intends to apply the funds in the manner set out in Section 2.1;

  • (g) the Shares are being issued to pursuant to a customary placement offer letters between the Company and each Capital Raising participant; and

  • (h) the Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO CPS CAPITAL

3.1 General

On 15 May 2023, the Company announced it had entered into a lead manager broker and corporate advisory mandate with CPS Capital ( Mandate ) to assist with the placement of 24,3055,556 Shares at $0.144 per Share to raise $3,500,000 ( Placement ). Further details of the Mandate and Placement can be found in the ASX announcement dated 15 May 2023 and notice of general meeting dated 29 May 2023.

On 15 June 2023, the Company announced it had extended the Mandate with CPS to include corporate advisory services on lithium exploration to the market and pursuant to the Mandate, CPS Capital will be entitled to subscribe for 5,000,000 Options at an issue price of $0.0001 should GRE acquire or enter into a new project acquisition.

As summarised in Section 1.1, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue of the Options falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

6

5407-02/3226611_19

3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options. In addition, the issue of the Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options.

Resolution 3 is independent of the other Resolutions set out in this Notice.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Options.

3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

7

5407-02/3226611_19

4. RESOLUTION 4 – ADOPTION OF EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN

4.1 General

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Employee Securities Incentive Plan” ( Plan ) and for the issue of up to a maximum of 6,286,438 securities, excluding issues approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 or Listing Rule 10.11, under the Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of securities under the Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

4.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)

As summarised in Section 1.1, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years from the date of the Meeting. The issue of any securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of securities stated in Section 4.3(d) below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of those securities.

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

8

5407-02/3226611_19

  • (a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 5;

  • (b) the Company has not issued any securities under the Plan as this is the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Plan;

  • (c) The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the Plan to:

  • (i) allow the Company to have the option to issue Shares, Options, Performance Rights or other convertible securities under the Plan; and

  • (ii) include the terms and conditions required by Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which replaced the previous relief provided by ASIC Class Order 14/1000; and

  • (d) the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), is 6,286,438 securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

5. RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS

5.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue Thomas Reddicliffe (Executive Director) and Roderick Webster (Non-Executive Director) ( Director Recipients ) the following:

  • (a) 1,000,000 Options to Mr Reddicliffe (or his nominee/) (the subject of Resolution 5) on the terms and conditions set out below; and

  • (b) 250,000 Options to Mr Webster (or his nominee/s) (the subject of Resolution 6) on the terms and conditions set out below.

5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (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 issue of Options to the Director Recipients (or their nominee/s) constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Director Recipients are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors, other than Mr Reddicliffe with regards to Resolution 5 (who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5) and Mr Webster with regards to Resolution 6 (who has a material personal interest in Resolution 6), consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not

9

5407-02/3226611_19

required in respect of the grant of Options because the agreement to issue the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for each of Mr Reddicliffe and Mr Webster is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

5.3

Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a “material personal interest” are being considered, except in certain limited circumstances. Section 195(4) relevantly provides that if there are not enough directors to form a quorum for a directors meeting because of this restriction, one or more of the directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may pass a resolution to deal with the matter.

It might be argued (but it is neither conceded nor, indeed, is it thought by the Board to be the case) that two of the three Directors comprising the Board have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 5 and 6. If each does have such an interest, then a quorum could not be formed to consider the matters contemplated by Resolutions 5 and 6 at Board level.

Accordingly, for the avoidance of any doubt, and for the purpose of transparency and best practice corporate governance, the Company also seeks Shareholder approval for Resolutions 5 and 6 for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act in respect of the reliance on the reasonable remuneration exception and the decision not to seek Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

5.4

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:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

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

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder 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;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of the Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 5 and 6 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

10

5407-02/3226611_19

5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 5 and 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to the Director Recipients within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 5 and 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options and need to consider alternative methods of remuneration, including but not limited to cash payments.

Resolutions 5 and 6 are independent of the other Resolutions set out in this Notice.

5.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 and 6:

  • (a) the Options will be issued to Mr Reddicliffe and Mr Webster (or their nominee), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as each are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors;

  • (b) the maximum number of Options to be issued is 1,250,000, comprising of:

  • (i) 1,000,000 Options to Mr Reddicliffe; and

  • (ii) 250,000 Options to Mr Webster;

  • (c) the terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Schedule 4;

  • (d) the Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date;

  • (e) the issue price of the Options will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for each of the Director Recipients to motivate and reward their performance as a Director and to provide cost effective remuneration to the Director Recipients, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Director Recipients;

  • (g) the current total remuneration packages for the Director Recipients is as follows:

Director Current Financial Year
Thomas Reddicliffe1 $120,000
Roderick Webster2 $40,000

11

5407-02/3226611_19

Notes:

  1. Comprising Directors’ consulting fees of $120,000 (plus GST).

  2. Comprising Directors’ consulting fees of $40,000.

If the Options are issued, the total remuneration package of the Director Recipients will increase by the following:

  • (ii) Roderick Webster - $40,000 to $56,787.16, being the value of the Options (based on the Black Scholes methodology).

  • (h) the Options are not being issued under an agreement; and

A summary of the material terms of the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) is set out below.

Eligible Participant Eligible Participantmeans a person that is a ‘primary participant’
(as that term is defined in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations
Act) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate
(as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been determined by
the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
Purpose The purpose of the Plan is to:
(e)
assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible
Participants;
(f)
link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value
creation; and
(g)
align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders
of the Group (being the Company and each of its
Associated
Bodies
Corporate),
by
providing
an
opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity
interest in the Company in the form of Shares, Options,
Performance Rights or other convertible securities
(Securities).
Plan administration The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise
any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole
and absolute discretion (except to the extent that it prevents the
Eligible Participant relying on the deferred tax concessions under
Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax Assessment Act 1997_(Cth)).
The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
Eligibility, invitation
and application
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible
Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to
that Eligible Participant to apply for any (or any combination of)
the Securities provided under the Plan on such terms and
conditions as the Board decides.
On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the
Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed
application form to the Company. The Board may accept an
application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.
If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible
Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party
in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the
invitation.
Grant of Securities The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly
completed application, grant the Eligible Participant the relevant
number and type of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions
set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary
documentation required.
Rights attaching to
Convertible
Securities
AConvertible Securityrepresents a right to acquire one or more
Plan Shares in accordance with the Plan (for example, an Option
or a Performance Right).
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, the holder:

5

Adjustment of Convertible Securities section below).
Vesting
of
Convertible
Securities
Any vesting conditions which must be satisfied before Convertible
Securities can be exercised and converted to Shares will be
described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied
and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent
to the Eligible Participant by the Company informing them that the
relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the
vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities
will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt,
if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not
satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible
Security will lapse.
Exercise
of
Convertible
Securities
and
cashless exercise
To exercise a Convertible Security, the Eligible Participant must
deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless
exercise of Convertible Securities (see next paragraph below), pay
the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any
time following vesting of the Convertible Security (if subject to
vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the
invitation or vesting notice.
An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the
Convertible Securities, the Eligible Participant may elect not to be
required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number
of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that
on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will
transfer or issue to the Eligible Participant that number of Shares
equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value
of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that
would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible
Securities.
Market Valuemeans, at any given date, the volume weighted
average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days
immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified
in an invitation.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that
Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules,
or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
Timing of issue of
Shares
and
quotation of Shares
on exercise
As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible
Security by an Eligible Participant, the Company will issue or cause
to be transferred to that Eligible Participant the number of Shares to
which the Eligible Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and
issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised
Convertible Securities held by that Eligible Participant.

Restrictions on
dealing with
Convertible
Securities
A holder may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over
or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been
granted to them unless otherwise determined by the Board. A
holder must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of
hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that
has been granted to them.
However, in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan
(including in the case of death or total or permanent disability of
the Eligible Participant) an Eligible Participant may deal with
Convertible Securities granted to them under the Plan with the
consent of the Board.
Listing of
Convertible
Securities
A Convertible Security granted under the Plan will not be quoted
on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. The Board reserves
the right in its absolute discretion to apply for quotation of an
Option granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised
exchange.
Forfeiture
of
Convertible
Securities
Convertible
Securities
will
be
forfeited
in
the
following
circumstances:
(a)
where an Eligible Participant who holds Convertible
Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no
longer employed or their office or engagement is
discontinued with the Group), all unvested Convertible
Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Eligible
Participant;
(b)
where a Eligible Participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly,
negligently, in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully
breaches their duties to the Group;
(c)
where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in
accordance with the Plan;
(d)
on the date the Eligible Participant becomes insolvent; or
(e)
on the Expiry Date.
Change of control If a change of control event occurs, or the Board determines that
such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion
determine the manner in which any or all of the holder’s
Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without
limitation, in a manner that allows the holder to participate in
and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection
with the change of control event.
Adjustment
of
Convertible
Securities
If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the
Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction,
return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the
rights of each Eligible Participant holding Convertible Securities will
be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing
Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the
reorganisation.
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other
than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend
reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon
exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of as
many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if
the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of
which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible
Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue
of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
Plan Shares The Board may, from time to time, make an invitation to an Eligible
Participant to acquire Plan Shares under the Plan. The Board will
determine in its sole an absolute discretion the acquisition price (if
any) for each Plan Share which may be nil. The Plan Shares may
be subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions as
determined by the Board.
Where Plan Shares granted to an Eligible Participant are subject to
performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions, the Eligible
Participant’s Plan Shares will be subject to certain restrictions until
the applicable performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions (if
any) have been satisfied, waived by the Board or are deemed to
have been satisfied under the Rules.
Rights attaching to
Plan Shares
All Shares issued or transferred under the Plan or issued or
transferred to an Eligible Participant upon the valid exercise of a
Convertible Security, (Plan Shares) will rank equally in all respects
with the Shares of the same class for the time being on issue except
for any rights attaching to the Shares by reference to a record date
prior to the date of the allotment or transfer of the Plan Shares. An
Eligible Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and
distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may
participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the
Company in respect of Plan Shares. An Eligible Participant may
exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
Disposal restrictions
on Plan Shares
If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any
restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by an Eligible
Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure
it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Eligible
Participant with this restriction.
For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions
under the Plan, the Eligible Participant will not:
(a)
transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a
security interest granted over that Plan Share; or
(b)
take any action or permit another person to take any action
to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the
express written consent of the Company.
General Restrictions
on Transfer of Plan
Shares
If the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that
complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Plan
Shares issued under the Plan (including on exercise of Convertible
Securities) may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless
the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus
pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Act.
Restrictions are imposed by Applicable Law on dealing in Shares
by persons who possess material information likely to affect the
value of the Shares and which is not generally available. These laws
may restrict the acquisition or disposal of Shares by you during the
time the holder has such information.
Any Plan Shares issued to a holder under the Plan (including upon
exercise of Convertible Securities) shall be subject to the terms of
the Company’s Securities Trading Policy.

Buy-Back Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy-
back Securities in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Employee Share
Trust
The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee
share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding
Convertible Securities for holders under the Plan and delivering
Shares on behalf of holders upon exercise of Convertible Securities.
Maximum
number
of Securities
The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which
involves monetary consideration if the number of Plan Shares that
may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities
offered under an invitation, when aggregated with the number of
Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of all invitations under
the Plan during the 3 year period ending on the day of the
invitation, will exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares at
the date of the invitation (unless the Constitution specifies a
different percentage and subject to any limits approved by
Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) – refer to
Resolution 4 and Section 4.1 and 4.3(d).
The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued
under the Plan, following Shareholder approval, is 6,286,438
Securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of
Securities will be issued immediately.
Amendment of Plan Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time
amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without
limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have
been granted under the Plan and determine that any
amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect,
immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if
the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Eligible
Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment,
other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of
complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake,
amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Eligible
Participants.
Plan duration The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it.
The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan
for a fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the
Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or
suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Eligible
Participants.
If an Eligible Participant and the Company (acting by the Board)
agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that
Eligible Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on
the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be
cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the
Eligible Participant.
Income Tax
Assessment Act
The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax_
Assessment Act 1997(Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that
Act) except to the extent an invitation provides otherwise.
