Summary

Item 6, Resolution 5 seeks shareholder approval for the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan ( LTIP or Plan ) for the purposes of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.

AdEffective Limited | Annual General Meeting 2013

7 | P a g e

Listing Rules

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company may not issue equity securities, or agree to issue equity securities, without the approval of shareholders, if the number of equity securities to be issued in any 12 month period (including shares issued on the exercise of any options) exceed 15% of the issued capital of the company preceding the issue.

Listing Rule 7.2 contains a number of exceptions to the prohibition contained in Listing Rule 7.1. In particular, under Exception 9 in Listing Rule 7.2, any equity securities issued under an employee incentive scheme within three years of the date on which shareholders approve the issue of those equity securities are not counted for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. Item 6, Resolution 5 is designed to satisfy the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2.

Corporations Act

Section 259B(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from taking security over its shares except as permitted by section 259B(2). Section 259B(2) states that a company may take security over shares in itself under an employee share scheme that has been approved by resolution passed at a general meeting of the company.

Section 260A(1)(c) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from financially assisting a person to acquire shares in itself except as permitted by section 260(C). Section 260(C)(4) provides for special exemption for approved employee shares schemes and states that financial assistance is exempted from section 260(A) if a resolution is passed at a general meeting of the company.

Accordingly Shareholder approval is sought for Item 6, Resolution 5 to ensure compliance with these sections of the Corporations Act.

Long Term Incentive Plan

The purpose of the LTIP is to provide incentives to management and directors of the Company who are integral to the operations and ongoing success of the Company. These incentives are designed to encourage greater productivity from directors and management and to better enable the Company to retain its management personnel in a highly competitive industry.

Should this Item 6, Resolution 5 be passed, the Company will have the necessary flexibility to issue securities as an incentive to management personnel and that the issue of securities under the LTIP will not be included within the Company's placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

At this point in time, no securities have been issued under the LTIP. However, under Item 7, Resolutions 6(a) to 6(e), it is proposed that Mr Plympton, Mr Carosa, Mr Goulopoulos, Ms Karzis and Mr London be issued Options pursuant to the LTIP.

A summary of the LTIP is set out at Schedule 1.

Details of any options or performance rights issued under the LTIP will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued and, where applicable, it will be noted that approval for the issue of the options and/or the performance rights was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

Recommendation

As the Directors may participate in the LTIP they do not provide any recommendation to Shareholders in relation to this Item 6, Resolution 5.

AdEffective Limited | Annual General Meeting 2013

7. APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS (RESOLUTIONS 6 (a) to 6(e))

Summary

Item 7, Resolutions 6(a) to 6(e) inclusive seek shareholder approval for the grant of options to acquire ordinary shares in the Company to Directors of the Company or their nominees ( Director Options ) as part of the Director’s remuneration and an incentive scheme. Shareholder approval of the issue of Director Options to Directors is required for all purposes under the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, including for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act (section 208) and ASX Listing Rule 10.11 because the Directors are related parties of the Company.

Under Listing Rule 10.14, the acquisition of securities by a director under an employee incentive scheme requires shareholder approval. Shareholder approval is therefore sought for the acquisition by the Directors of the Director Options and any Shares issued upon exercise of the Options.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties of a public company. Section 208 of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company giving a financial benefit to a related party unless one of a number of exceptions applies or shareholder approval is obtained.

Accordingly, Item 7, Resolutions 6(a) to 6(e) seeks shareholder approval for the grant of the Director Options to the Directors for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

Disclosures made for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

To enable shareholder approval to be effectively obtained under Listing Rule 10.14 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided:

  • a) For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11, Mr Andrew Plympton, Mr Domenic Carosa, Mr Mark Goulopoulos, Ms Sophie Karzis and Mr Damian London are related parties of the Company. Accordingly, in order to grant the Director Options to these Directors (or their nominees) the Company must obtain Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11.

  • b) The number of Director Options to be granted to each of Mr Plympton, Mr Carosa, Mr Goulopoulos, Ms Karzis and Mr London if these resolutions are approved is 1,000,000 Director Options, each exercisable for one Share. The maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Director Options the subject of Item 5, Resolutions 6(a) to 6(e) inclusive is 5,000,000 and upon exercise of the Director Options, the Shares will rank equally with all other ordinary shares of the Company on issue.

  • c) Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required on order to grant the Director Options to these Directors as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Shareholders should note that the grant of Director Options to these Directors will not be included in the 15% calculation for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • d) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

  • e) The price payable on the issue or exercise of the Director Options is 2 cents per Director Option.

  • f) The Director Options can only be exercised upon the achievement of certain criteria including that the Company achieves its budgeted sales in the financial year ended 30 June 2015 and that each Director remains as a director of the Company until 31 December 2014. The Director Options can be exercised at any time until the Expiry Date of 31 December 2017 after they have vested. This information is summarised in the below table:

They do not currently receive any other guaranteed remuneration or emoluments from the Company in respect of their roles as directors but are entitled and eligible to participate in the Company’s LTIP. Ms Karzis also received fees for providing company secretarial services and for the provision of a registered office to the Company. Ms Karzis receives no other form of remuneration from the Company.

  • p) The primary purpose of the grant of the Director Options to the Directors is as an incentive to provide dedicated and ongoing commitment and effort to the Company, particularly as the remuneration each receives for performing their duties as a Director is considered by the Directors to be below the average remuneration levels for directors of companies with similar market capitalisation to the Company’s. Given this purpose, the Directors do not consider that there is any material opportunity cost or benefit foregone to the Company in granting the Options. The Directors note that as at the date of this Notice, the exercise price of the Director Options (being 2 cents per option) is below the current market price of the Company’s shares (the closing price of the Company’s shares on 21 October was 2.9 cents) however, the Directors also note that the price of the Company’s shares over the last month has fluctuated from 1.5 cents up to 3.5 cents; in addition, it is noted that the Director Options cannot be exercised until and unless the Company achieves certain internal sales revenue targets during the period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2015 . Accordingly, the Directors are of the view that the issue of the Director Options to the Directors provides an incentive through the targets that must be met in order for the Director Options to be exercised being the achievement of the internal budgeted sales revenue and remaining as Directors through to 31 December 2014. The Directors independent to each respective Resolution consider the particular number and terms of the Options to be granted to constitute an appropriate number to adequately incentivise the Directors in question in light of their skill, experience and reputation and when considered together with their remuneration as Directors as detailed above in paragraph (o). The Board determined the number of the Director Options to be issued to each Director (with the relevant Director abstaining from consideration of the grant of Director Options in relation to him or her) based on their expected contribution to the Company and the

likely/expected impact that this will have on the Company’s performance, including on the Company’s Share price performance in the event the vesting criteria to the Director Options are met.

  • q) An alternative to the issue of Director Options to the Directors would be to simply increase their remuneration. However, given the current stage of development of the Company, and the necessity for cash reserves to be preserved for the Company’s general working capital requirements as well as to fund potential acquisition opportunities that may be identified, the Board has determined that there should be no increase in fees paid to the Non-Executive Directors at this time. Instead, the Board has determined that Directors should be issued with a number of Director Options to act as a reward for past performance, as a long term incentive and as a retention mechanism and to compensate for the current remuneration levels for all Directors which are considered to be below the average levels for directors of other similarly market capitalised companies.

  • r) The Board acknowledges that the grant of Director Options to the Non-Executive Directors is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations which recommend that non-executive directors should normally be remunerated by way of fees, should not participate in schemes designed for remuneration of executives and should not receive options. However, the Board considers the grant of the Director Options constitutes cost effective consideration to the Directors for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company and, for the reasons above, constitutes reasonable remuneration to the Directors in the circumstances of the Company and the Directors (including their responsibilities as Directors of the Company).

  • s) The number of Director Options to be issued to Non-Executive Directors has been determined by having regard to the level of Directors’ fees/salaries being received by Non-Executive Directors and is a cash free, effective and efficient way to provide an appropriate and market level of Directors’ remuneration.

  • t) If Shareholders do not approve the issue of Director Options to the Directors, the Board may increase the level of fees received by the Non-Executive Directors.

Valuation

ASIC requires that when seeking shareholder approval for the issue of securities to a related party pursuant to Chapter 2E, shareholders must be provided with a valuation of those securities. The Company has estimated a value for the Director Options to be granted under Resolution 6(a) to 6(e) subject to the vesting criteria by reference to the Black and Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:

Underlying Security spot price: $0.033
Exercise price: 2 cents
Dividend rate: 0%
Risk free rate: 2.5%
Expiry date: 31 December 2017
Standard deviation of returns (annualised): 50%

Based on the above assumptions, the Director Options have been valued at $0.0188 per Director Option. In total, the proposed benefits to be given to each of the Directors based on this valuation method are as follows:

Mr Andrew Plympton: $18,800 Mr Domenic Carosa: $18,800 Mr Mark Goulopoulos: $18,800

AdEffective Limited | Annual General Meeting 2013

12 | P a g e

Ms Sophie Karzis: $18,800 Mr Damian London: $18,800

Dilution

The passing of Item 7, Resolutions 6(a) to 6(e) would have the following effect:

The passing of Item 7, Resolution 6 (a) would have the effect of granting Mr Andrew Plympton or his nominee up to 1,000,000 Director Options; the passing of Item 7, Resolution 6(b) would have the effect of granting Mr Domenic Carosa or his nominee up to 1,000,000 Director Options; the passing of Item 7, Resolution 6(c) would have the effect of granting Mr Mark Goulopoulos or his nominee up to 1,000,000 Director Options; the passing of Item 7, Resolution 6(d) would have the effect of granting Ms Sophie Karzis or her nominee up to 1,000,000 Director Options; the passing of Item 7, Resolution 6(e) would have the effect of granting Mr Damian London up to 1,000,000 Director Options, on the terms and conditions as set out in this Explanatory Memorandum.

If any of the Director Options granted as proposed above vest and are subsequently exercised, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders. If all Director Options to be granted under Item 7, Resolution 6 were to vest and were subsequently exercised, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders by approximately 2.35% on an undiluted basis and being based on the total number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice of 207,901,921, and assuming that no further equity securities are issued from the date of this Notice and that no options currently on issue or to be issued are exercised.

Recommendation

The Directors do not wish to make a recommendation to Shareholders about the proposed Resolutions 6(a) to (e) because they have an interest in the outcome of the Resolutions as they are the proposed recipients of the Options.

Other Information

The Directors are not aware of any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision as to whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass these Resolutions.

8. RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF SHARES (RESOLUTION 7)

Background

The Company seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for an issue of 31,185,288 shares made by the Company on 15 October 2013 to various sophisticated investors and professional investors introduced to the Company by the Company’s Lead Manager, Patersons Securities Limited, ABN 69 008 896 311, ( Patersons ) at an issue price of $0.027 per share ( Placement ). The issue price of $0.027 per share is predicated upon the Company being able to issue one free attaching New Listed Option (as that term is defined in Item 9 for Resolution 8 of this Notice) for every two (2) of the 31,185,288 shares issued under the Placement. The Company is seeking approval to issue the New Listed Options to allottees under the Placement, however if approval is not obtained, then the Company must compensate the allottees under the Placement by paying them $0.015 per New Listed Option that they would have received if Resolution 8 was approved. The reimbursement of $0.015 is based upon the last sale price of ABNO Options traded on ASX prior to a trading halt in the Company’s securities in connection with the Placement.

The Company raised $842,002 (before costs) under the Placement, with the objective of the using the funds to pay for costs of the Placement, to replenish the Company’s working capital following its recent acquisitions of e-commerce businesses EzyDirect and OHKI, and to provide funding for potential further acquisitions of e-commerce businesses. The Placement was made pursuant to a mandate entered into by the Company with Patersons, under which Patersons agreed to act as lead manager to the Placement. For further details on this capital raising mandate, refer to the Company’s ASX announcement dated 9 October 2013.

ASX Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions under ASX Listing Rule 7.2, issue or agree to issue shares during any 12 month period in excess of 15% of the number of shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period without shareholder approval. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, by permitting the ratification of previous issues of shares which were not made under a prescribed exception under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with shareholder approval, provided that such issues did not breach the 15% threshold set out by Listing Rule 7.1. If shareholders of a company approve the ratification of such previous issues of shares at a general meeting, those shares will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Reason for resolution

The effect of ratification in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is the reinstatement of the Company’s maximum capacity to issue further shares up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company, if required, in the next 12 months without requiring shareholder approval. The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company that the Directors maintain their ability to issue up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company.

Save for as otherwise set out in this Notice, the Directors do not currently have any specific intention to make any further issue of shares without approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 in the next 12 months, unless such issue falls under an exception to the 15% threshold in ASX Listing Rule 7.2

However, the Directors consider it to be appropriate and prudent for approval to be sought at the Annual General Meeting, in respect of the relevant issue of shares made by the Company in the last twelve months. The Directors believe this approval will enhance the Company’s flexibility to finance its operations through raising equity capital, should the Directors consider them to be in the best interests of the Company to do so.

In particular, the Directors note that if this approval is not obtained at the Annual General Meeting, the Company may be required to incur additional costs and delay of convening an extraordinary general meeting of the Company if the Directors propose to issue securities which do not fall under an exception to the 15% rule in ASX Listing Rule 7.2.

Information required to be provided under the ASX Listing Rules

As stated above, the Company completed the Placement to various sophisticated investors introduced to the Company by Patersons, the lead manager to the Placement, and raised approximately $842,000.

The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of shares the subject of the Placement did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, which contains requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the following information is provided to shareholders:

  • Reason for issue To raise funds to pay for costs of the Placement and to replenish the Company’s working capital following its recent acquisitions of e-commerce businesses EzyDirect and OHKI, and to provide funding for potential further acquisitions of e-commerce businesses .

10. APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY (ITEM 10, RESOLUTION 9)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS

General
Presently, under Listing Rule 7.1, every listed entity has the ability to issue 15% of its
issued capital without shareholder approval in a 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule
7.1A, which was introduced on 1 August 2012, essentially permits eligible small and
mid-cap ASX-listed entities, subject to shareholder approval, to issue Equity Securities
of up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by way of placements over a 12 month
period, in addition to its ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (10%
Placement Capacity).
The Company seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 10%
Placement Capacity. The effect of this resolution will be to allow the Directors, subject
to the conditions set out below, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement
Capacity without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Directors do not presently have any plan to make use of the additional Placement
Capacity; however consider it prudent to have it available for the Company to use,
particularly as the Company continues to seek appropriate acquisition opportunities to
further strengthen the Company’s e-commerce division.
Resolution 9 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by
shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person or by proxy) at the meeting must
be in favour of this resolution for it to be passed.

The Company seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 10% Placement Capacity. The effect of this resolution will be to allow the Directors, subject to the conditions set out below, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The Directors do not presently have any plan to make use of the additional Placement Capacity; however consider it prudent to have it available for the Company to use, particularly as the Company continues to seek appropriate acquisition opportunities to further strengthen the Company’s e-commerce division.

Eligibility ASX-listed entities which have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less, and which are not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index will be considered eligible to seek shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company, which has a market capitalisation of less than $300 million, is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index. Accordingly, the Company is considered eligible to seek shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Formula The exact number of additional Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined by a formula set out Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as follows:

(A x D) - E

Where:

A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months (there are presently no partly paid shares on issue in the Company);

  • plus the number of shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the Company’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval; and

  • less the number of shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

‘A’ has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity

D is 10%.

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

Conditions of There are a number of conditions applicable to the issue of Equity Securities under issue under Listing Rule 7.1A, including a limitation on the discount to prevailing market price at the 10% which they may be issued, and additional disclosure requirements. A summary of Placement these conditions is as follows: Capacity

  • (a) Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity can only be in a class of securities already quoted. At the date of this Notice, the Company has two classes of securities which are quoted, being ordinary shares and listed options (ASX:ABNO).

  • (b) The issue price of Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be no lower than 75% of the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days immediately before either:

  • i. the date on which the Equity Securities are issued; or

  • ii. the date on which the price of the Equity Securities is agreed, provided that the issue is thereafter completed within 5 business days.

Period of In the event that the Company obtains shareholder approval of the subject of validity of Resolution 9, such approval will cease to be valid upon the earlier of: shareholder approval (a) 12 months after the date of this Annual General Meeting, being 22 November 2014;

  • (b) if applicable, the date on which the Company’s shareholders approve a change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities under Listing Rule 11.1.2, or the disposal of the Company’s main undertaking under Listing Rule 11.2; or

  • (c) such longer period if allowed by ASX,

( Placement Period )

  - iii. the date on which the Equity Securities are issued; or iv. the date on which the price of the Equity Securities is agreed, provided that the issue is thereafter completed within 5 business days.
  • Risk of If the resolution the subject of Resolution 9 is approved by shareholders, issue of dilution to Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity may present a risk of economic shareholders and voting dilution of existing shareholders, including the risk that:

  • the market price of the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the relevant issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

  • the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing shareholders under various scenarios on the basis of:

  • an issue price of $0.033 per share ( Issue Price ) which is the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 4 October 2013; and

  • the variable ‘A’ being calculated as the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue on the date of this Notice, being 207,901,921.

  • (e) the table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A and not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (f) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of shares.

  • (g) the Issue Price is $0.033, being the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 4 October 2013.

AdEffective Limited | Annual General Meeting 2013

Period of The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The
validity approval under the resolution the subject of item 9 for the issue of the Equity Securities
will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders approve a transaction under Listing
Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule
11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
Reason for The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
issue of
shares under (a) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new assets and investments, in
10% which event the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration
Placement as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
Capacity (b) cash consideration, the proceeds of which will be applied to fund the Company’s
existing and future activities, appraisal of corporate opportunities, investment in
new businesses (if any), the costs incurred in undertaking placement(s) of shares
under Listing Rule 7.1.A and for general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A
4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
Allocation The Company may not issue any or all the Equity Securities for which approval is given
policy and may issue the Equity Securities progressively as the Company places the Equity
Securities with investors.
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at
the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity
of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having
regard to factors such as:
  1. fund raising options (and their viability) available to the Company at the relevant time; 2. the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company; 3. the financial situation of the Company and the urgency of the requirement for funds; and 4. advice from the Company’s corporate, financial, legal and broking advisers. The allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice. It is intended that the allottees will be suitable professional and sophisticated investors, and other investors not requiring a disclosure document under section 708 of the Corporations Act, that are known to the Company and/or introduced by third parties.
The allottees may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders,
but it is not intended that the allottees will be related parties or associates of a related
party of the Company. In the event that the shares under the 10% Placement Capacity
are issued as consideration for the acquisition of assets or investments, it is likely that
the allottees will be the vendors of such assets or investments.
Previous The Company has previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its
approval 2012 Annual General Meeting on 28 November 2013 and no Equity Securities have
been issued under that rule in the 12 months preceding the Annual General Meeting.
Ranking of
Any shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will rank equally with all other
shares existing shares on issue in the Company. The Company does not intend to utilise the
10% Placement Capacity to issue any form of Equity Security other than ordinary
shares.

Schedule 1 Summary of the Long Term Incentive Plan

a) General

The Plan is intended to retain and motivate the Company's management team.

Under the Plan, the Board has the discretion to offer shares or grant options and performance rights to Eligible Employees (which includes executive Directors) of the Company or a related body corporate. An offer of shares may be accompanied by an offer of a loan (acquisition loan) from the Company or a related body corporate to acquire the shares.

Note, there is no current proposal to offer shares or acquisition loans under the Plan.

Both options and performance rights give a participant in the Plan a right to acquire shares in the Company subject to the achievement of both time based and performance based vesting conditions, with options requiring the payment of an exercise price to acquire the shares and a performance right not requiring the payment of an exercise price.

The Board has the discretion to amend the rules of the Plan (including respectively in respect of previous awards of shares, options or performance rights) but not so as to reduce the rights of participants, except where necessary to correct obvious errors or mistakes or to comply with legal requirements or where agreed by the participant.

Awards under the Plan are made at the Board's discretion.

b) Eligibility

The rules allow for offers under the Plan to be made to any employee of the Company or a related body corporate, including executive directors, or such other person as the Board determines. However, it has been the case and it is currently intended to continue to be the case that participation in the Plan will only be offered to the Company's senior executive leadership team including directors.

c)

Issue of shares and grant of options and performance rights

Shares, options and performance rights may be issued under the Plan subject to vesting conditions, including time and performance based hurdles.

The Board determines the details of the vesting conditions attaching to shares, options and performance rights under the Plan prior to offers of participation being made. Shares, options or performance rights will only vest (under normal circumstances) upon satisfaction of the time and performance based vesting conditions. If those conditions are not met, shares will be bought back or the options or performance rights will generally expire and not be capable of exercise.

No amount is payable on the grant of options or performance rights offered under the Plan.

d)

Delivery of shares

Shares in the Company will be delivered to participants upon exercise of vested options or performance rights. On exercise, the Company may deliver shares by new issue or by purchasing shares for transfer to participants. No exercise price is payable on the exercise of performance rights unless otherwise determined by the Board at the date of grant.

e)

Buy-back of shares

The Plan provides for the buy-back of shares offered under the plan in certain circumstances, including on the forfeiture of the shares. Buy-back proceeds must be applied towards the repayment of any acquisition loan used to acquire the shares.

23 | P a g e

f) Change of control

On a change of control of the Company, the board has discretion to waive the vesting conditions applicable to unvested options and performance rights, subject to such terms and conditions as it determines.

g) Plan limits

Issues of shares including on exercise of options or performance rights granted under the Plan will be subject to a cap of 5% of the issued share capital of the Company, inclusive of shares that may be issued under other employee incentive schemes of the Company for employees and non-executive directors, but disregarding offers made outside of Australia, made under a prospectus or other disclosure document or which do not require a disclosure document.

h)

Expiry of options and performance rights

Unless otherwise determined by the Board in its discretion, options and performance rights which have not been exercised will expire and cease to exist on the expiry date specified at the date of grant or upon the Board making a determination that the options or performance rights are to be forfeited.

i) Restrictions on shares and forfeiture conditions

Shares, options and performance rights, and shares delivered on exercise, may be subject to forfeiture (subject to lifting at the discretion of the Board) if a participant commits any act of fraud, defalcation or gross misconduct in relation to the Company or a related body corporate. In addition, the Board can decide, on the offer of shares or the grant of options or performance rights under the Plan the circumstances under which the shares, options or performance rights are to be forfeited in additional circumstances, such as the termination or cessation of employment.

Shares delivered on exercise of options or performance rights may be subject to disposal restrictions (subject to removal at the discretion of the Board).

j) Hedging economic exposure prohibited

Without limiting the prohibitions in Part 2D.7 of the Corporations Act (ban on hedging remuneration of key management personnel), the terms of the Plan prohibit entering into transactions or arrangements which limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements under the Plan.

Schedule 2 New Listed Option Terms and Conditions

1. Entitlement

Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of the Option.

2. Exercise Price and Expiry Date

The Options have an exercise price of $0.015 ( Exercise Price ) and an expiry date of 30 June 2014 ( Expiry Date ).

3. Exercise Period

The Options are exercisable at any time on or prior to the Expiry Date.

4.

Notice of Exercise

The Options may be exercised by notice in writing to the Company ( Notice of Exercise ) and payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised. Any Notice of Exercise of an Option received by the Company will be deemed to be a notice of the exercise of that Option as at the date of receipt.

5.

Shares issued on exercise

Shares issued on exercise of the Options rank equally with the then shares of the Company.

6.

Quotation of Shares on exercise

Application will be made by the Company to ASX for quotation of the Shares issued upon the exercise of the Options.

7.

Timing of issue of Shares

After an Option is validly exercised, the Company must, within 15 Business Days of the notice of exercise and receipt of cleared funds equal to the sum payable on the exercise of the Option:

  • (a) issue and allot the Share; and

  • (b) do all such acts, matters and things to obtain the grant of official quotation of the Share on ASX no later than 5 Business Days after issuing the Shares.

8. Participation in new issues

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least ten business days after the issue is announced. This will give the holders of Options the opportunity to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

9. Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares

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):

  • (a) the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of an Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the Optionholder would have received if the Optionholder had exercised the Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and

AdEffective Limited | Annual General Meeting 2013

25 | P a g e

  • (b) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.

10. Adjustment for rights issue

If the Company makes an issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the Exercise Price of an Option will be reduced according to the following formula:

New exercise price = O - E[P-(S+D)]

  - N+1
  • O = the old Exercise Price of the Option.

  • E = the number of underlying Shares into which one Option is exercisable.

  • average market price per Share weighted by reference to volume of the underlying Shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.

  • the subscription price of a Share under the pro rata issue.

  • D = the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying Shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue).

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

11. Adjustments for reorganisation

If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the Optionholders may be varied to comply with the Listing Rules which apply to the reconstruction at the time of the reconstruction.

12.

Quotation of Options

The Options are listed Options (ASX:ABNO).

13. Options transferable

The Options are freely transferable.

14. Lodgement Instructions

Cheques shall be in Australian currency made payable to the Company and crossed "Not Negotiable". The application for shares on exercise of the Options with the appropriate remittance should be lodged at the Company's Registry.
