The participation of the Related Parties will raise an additional $167,000 under the Placement.

Each of Resolutions 5 to 7 are conditional on Resolutions 3 and 4 being passed, meaning that in order for Resolutions 5 to 7 to have effect, Resolutions 3 and 4 must also be passed by Shareholders.

6.2. Technical information required for Listing Rule 10.11

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 to 7:

  • (a) the Shares and Placement Options will be granted to Mr Tom Eadie, Mr Peter Williams and Mr Marat Abzalov (or their respective nominees) who are related parties by virtue of their directorships;

  • (c) the Shares and Placement Options will be granted 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 ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares and Placement Options will occur on the same date;

  • (d) the Shares will be issued at $0.032 per Share;

  • (e) the Placement Options will be issued for nil cash consideration on the basis of 1 Placement Option for every 2 Shares subscribed for and issued, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (f) 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 and the Company will apply to ASX for official quotation of the Shares;

  • (g) the terms and conditions of the Placement Options are set out in Schedule 2 and the Company will not apply to ASX for official quotation of the Placement Options; and

  • (h) funds raised from the issues under Resolutions 5, 6 and 7, when combined with the other funds raised under the Placement will be used to accelerate exploration programs at the Frisco project.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the grant of the Placement Options as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the grant of Placement Options under Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

6.3. Corporations Act

Chapter 2E

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 as 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.

Although the Related Parties are receiving a financial benefit under the Corporations Act, the Company notes:

  • the Related Parties will be paying the same price for their Shares as all unrelated participants in the Placement;

  • • the price and terms of the Placement has been determined in consultation with the Company’s broker, BW Equities Pty Ltd; and

  • the participation of the Related Parties in the Placement will raise an additional $160,000 for the Company.

Accordingly, given the Related Parties will be participating in the Placement on the same arm’s length terms as the parties who are not related parties of the Company, the Board considers the issue of Shares under Resolutions 5 to 7 to constitute the provision of a financial benefit on arms length terms and accordingly that Shareholder

approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required and is not being sought for the participation of the Related Parties in the Placement.

6.4. Board Recommendation

The Directors do not consider that from an economic and commercial point of view, there are any costs or detriments, including opportunity costs or taxation consequences for the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Shares and Placement Options to the Related Parties pursuant to Resolutions 5 to 7.

Messrs Nicolaus Heinen and Bruno Hegner recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 5 to 7.

Messrs Eadie, Williams and Abzalov have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 5 to 7 and accordingly do not make a voting recommendation to Shareholders.

7. Resolution 8 – Approval to Issue Options to Broker

7.1 General

Resolution 8 seeks shareholder approval for the issue of up to 10,000,000 Broker Options to BW Equities Pty Ltd ( BW Equities ) and its nominees. BW Equities have been involved in securing the Placement and providing corporate advisory advice to the Company.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 3.2 above.

The effect of Resolution 8 will be to allow the Company to issue the Broker Options during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

7.2 Information required by the ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 8:

  • (a) the maximum number of Broker Options to be issued is 10,000,000;

  • (d) 5,000,000 Broker Options are exercisable at $0.10 each and 5,000,000 Broker Options are exercisable at $0.20 each, and issued on the terms set out in Schedule 2. The Company will not apply to ASX for official quotation of the Broker Options;

  • (e) Any Shares issued on exercise of the Broker Options will be fully paid ordinary Shares on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares; and

  • (f) no funds will be raised from the issue of Broker Options. Any funds received from the exercise of the Broker Options will be applied to general working capital.

7.3 Board recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.

8. Resolution 9 – Approval of Long Term Incentive Plan

8.1 General

Resolution 9 seeks shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) which provides an exemption from the Listing Rule 7.1 15% annual limit on securities issued under an employee share incentive scheme provided, within three years before the date of issue, shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the plan. In the absence of such approval, the issue can still occur but is counted as part of the Listing Rule 7.1 15% limit which would otherwise apply during a 12 month period.

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 3.2 above.

8.2 Information required by the ASX Listing Rules

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2(Exception 9(b)), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 9:

  • (a) This is the first approval sought under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b) with respect to the Long Term Incentive Plan.

  • (b) a summary of the Long Term Incentive Plan is set out in Schedule 3.

8.3

Regulatory Requirements – Corporations Act

The Corporations Act restricts the benefits that can be given to persons who hold a “managerial or executive office” (as defined in the Corporations Act) on leaving their employment with the Company or any of its related bodies corporate.

Under Section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with them ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office if the benefit is approved by shareholders or an exemption applies.

The term “benefit” has a wide meaning and may include benefits resulting from the Board exercising certain discretions under the rules of the Plan.

If Shareholder approval is given under this Resolution the Company will still be required to comply with Listing Rules 10.18 and 10.19, which place restrictions on the circumstances in which termination benefits can be paid and a cap on the value of termination benefits that can be paid to officers of the Company.

Details of Termination Benefit

The Board possesses the discretion to determine, where a participant ceases employment before the vesting or exercise of their securities, that some or all of the securities do not lapse.

The exercise of this discretion may constitute a “benefit” for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act.

In addition, a participant may become entitled to accelerated vesting or automatic vesting of securities if there is a change of control of the Company. This accelerated or automatic vesting of securities may constitute a “benefit” for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act.

The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval for the exercise of the Board’s discretions and for the provision of such accelerated or automatic vesting rights in respect of any current or future participant in the Long Term Incentive Plan who holds:

  • (a) a managerial or executive office in the Company (or any of its related body corporate) at the time of their leaving or at any time in the three years prior to their leaving; and

  • (b) securities under the Plan at the time of their leaving.

The Board’s current intention is to only exercise the above discretion:

  • (a) where the employee leaves employment without fault on their part; and

  • (b) so as only to preserve that number of unvested securities as are pro-rated to the date of leaving.

Provided Shareholder approval is given, the value of these benefits may be disregarded when applying Section 200F(2)(b) or Section 200G(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (i.e. the approved benefit will not count towards the statutory cap under the legislation).

Value of the Termination Benefits

The value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the Plan cannot be determined in advance. This is because various matters will or are likely to affect that value. In particular, the value of a particular benefit will depend on factors such as the Company’s Share price at the time of vesting and the number of securities that vest.

The following additional factors may also affect the benefit’s value:

  • (a) the participant’s length of service and the portion of vesting periods at the time they cease employment;

  • (b) the status of the performance hurdles attaching to the securities at the time the participant’s employment ceases; and

  • (c) the number of unvested securities that the participant holds at the time they cease employment or at the time the change of control occurs (as applicable).

8.4 Board Recommendation

Each of the Directors have an interest in the outcome of Resolution 9 and accordingly do not make a voting recommendation to Shareholders.

9. Resolutions 10 to 13 – Issue of Options to Directors

9.1 General

Shareholders are being asked to approve Resolutions 10 to 13 to allow the Company to issue Director Options to the following Directors (or their nominees) under the Long Term Incentive Plan:

  • (a) 5,000,000 Director Options (being 2,500,000 Director Options exercisable at $0.06 each and 2,500,000 Director Options exercisable at $0.10 each) to Peter Williams (or his nominee);

  • (b) 5,000,000 Director Options (being 2,500,000 Director Options exercisable at $0.06 each and 2,500,000 Director Options exercisable at $0.10 each) to Marat Abzalov (or his nominee);

  • (c) 2,000,000 Director Options (being 1,000,000 Director Options exercisable at $0.06 each and 1,000,000 Director Options exercisable at $0.10 each) to Tom Eadie (or his nominee); and

  • (d) 2,000,000 Director Options (being 1,000,000 Director Options exercisable at $0.06 each and 1,000,000 Director Options exercisable at $0.10 each) to Bruno Hegner (or his nominee).

The Board has determined that the grant of Director Options under the Long Term Incentive Plan to Messrs Tom Eadie, Peter Williams, Marat Abzalov and Bruno Hegner is an appropriate form of long term incentive for the Company’s Key Management Personnel. The Board considers that Messrs Tom Eadie, Peter Williams, Marat Abzalov and Bruno Hegner are essential to the operation of Alderan’s ongoing business.

Accordingly, the Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue the following Director Options to the Messrs Tom Eadie, Peter Williams, Marat Abzalov and Bruno Hegner (or their nominees) under the Loan Term Incentive Plan, the key terms of which are set out in Schedule 3.

In determining Mr Bruno Hegner’s remuneration packages, including this proposed issue of Director Options under the Long Term Incentive Plan, the Board considered the scope of the Messrs Tom Eadie, Peter Williams, Marat Abzalov and Bruno Hegner roles, the business challenges facing Alderan and market practice for the remuneration of officers in positions of similar responsibility. Accordingly, they determine this proposed grant of Director Options is appropriate.

9.2 Regulatory Requirements

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company must not issue Equity Securities to a director of the company under an employee incentive scheme unless the issue has been approved by holders of ordinary securities. If approval is given by shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14, separate shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 10.11.

Under Resolutions 10 to 13, Alderan seeks approval from Shareholders for the issue of Director Options to Messrs Tom Eadie, Peter Williams, Marat Abzalov and Bruno Hegner, who by virtue of their positions as Directors are related parties of the Company.

In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 10.15A, Shareholders are advised of the following information:

The persons referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 who are entitled to participate in the Long Term Incentive Plan are Messrs Tom Eadie, Peter Williams, Marat Abzalov, Bruno Hegner and Nicolaus Heinen. These recipients are the only people referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 currently eligible to participate in the Long Term Incentive Plan. Any additional persons who become entitled to participate in the Long Term Incentive Plan after this Resolution is approved, and who are not named in this Notice of Meeting, will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

(i) Voting exclusion statement

Voting exclusion statements for Resolutions 10 to 13 are included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Memorandum.

9.4 Section 208 Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” to “related parties” by a public company. Chapter 2E prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

(b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

A “related party” is widely defined under the Corporations Act, and includes the directors of the company. As such, the Directors of Alderan are related parties of the Company for the purposes of Section 208 of the Corporations Act.

A “financial benefit” is construed widely and in determining whether a financial benefit is being given, Section 229 of the Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. Section 229 of the Corporations Act includes as an example of a financial benefit, the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party.

The issue of the Director Options under Resolutions 10 to 13 constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to a related party.

In compliance with the information requirements of Section 219 of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised of the information below. Neither the Directors nor the Company are aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to the financial benefits contemplated by Resolutions 10 to 13.

(a) Identity of the related parties to whom Resolutions 10 to 13 permits financial benefits to be given.

The Director Options are proposed to be issued to Messrs Tom Eadie, Peter Williams, Marat Abzalov and Bruno Hegner, who by virtue of their positions as Directors are related parties of the Company.

  • (d) Nature of the financial benefit

Resolutions 10 to 13 seek approval from Shareholders to allow the Company to issue the Director Options to the related parties for nil consideration in accordance with section 8.1 above.

Schedule 2 of this Notice of Meeting sets out the key terms and conditions of the Director Options.

The Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Director Options will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares. The Company will apply for official quotation of the Shares on ASX.

The Directors consider that the issue of Director Options to its personnel is a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide incentive to its personnel as opposed to alternative forms of incentives such as cash bonuses or increased remuneration. The Company considers that, to enable the Company to secure and retain employees and directors who can assist the Company in achieving its objectives, it is necessary to provide remuneration and incentives to such personnel. The issue of the Director Options is designed to achieve this objective, by encouraging continued improvement in

performance over time and by encouraging personnel to acquire and retain significant Shareholdings in the Company .

(e) Valuation of financial benefit

The Black and Scholes option pricing model has been applied in providing valuation information in respect to the Director Options to be issued.

Bruno Hegner $180,000

9.5 Section 195(4) Corporations Act

The majority of Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 10 to 13 (as applicable to each Director) in this Notice of Meeting by virtue of the fact that Resolutions 10 to 13 are concerned with the issue of Director Options to Directors.

Section 195 of the Corporations Act essentially 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. In the absence of Shareholder approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at Board meetings necessary to carry out the terms of these Resolutions.

The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations act to put the issue to Shareholders to determine.

9.6 Board Recommendation

The Directors do not consider that from an economic and commercial point of view, there are any costs or detriments, including opportunity costs or taxation consequences for the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Shares and Placement Options to the Directors pursuant to Resolutions 10 to 13.

Mr Nicolaus Heinen recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 10 to 13.

Messrs Eadie, Williams, Abzalov and Hegner have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 10 to 13 and accordingly do not make a voting recommendation to Shareholders.

The terms and conditions of Awards offered or granted under the Rules to each Eligible Employee will be determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion and set out in an offer letter delivered to the Eligible Employee ( Offer Letter ). The Offer Letter will include as a minimum:

  • (a) the date of the Offer;

  • (b) the name of the Eligible Employee to whom the Offer is made;

  • (c) the number and type of Award which are capable of becoming exercisable if the conditions (if any) are met;

  • (d) the grant date;

  • (e) in the case of an Option, the exercise price and the exercise period;

  • (f) the expiry date (if any);

  • (g) any applicable conditions associated with the Award;

  • (i) any rights attaching to the Awards; and

  • (j) agreement with the Eligible Employee for the Company to supply details to third parties where required by law.

3. RULES OF THE PLAN

Under the Plan, Performance Rights and/or Options may be offered to Eligible Employees as determined by the Board.

The following is a summary of the key terms of the Plan:

  • (a) Nature of Awards: Each Option or Performance Right entitles the participant holding the Option or Performance Right, to subscribe for, or be transferred, one Share. Any Share acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Award will rank equally with all existing Shares from the date of acquisition.

  • (b) No consideration: An Eligible Employee will not pay anything for the grant of Awards.

  • (c) Conditions: Awards may be subject to exercise conditions, performance hurdles or vesting conditions ( Conditions ). These Conditions must be specified in the Offer Letter to Eligible Employees. In the event that a takeover bid for the Company is declared unconditional, there is a change of control in the

Company, or if a merger by way of a scheme of arrangement has been approved by a court, then the Board may determine that:

  • (i) all or a percentage of unvested Options will vest and become exercisable;

  • (ii) all or a percentage of Performance Rights will be automatically exercised; and

  • (iii) any Shares issued or transferred to a participant under the Plan that have restrictions (on their disposal, the granting of any security interests in or over, or otherwise on dealing with), will be free from any restrictions on disposal.

  • (d) Vesting of Awards: Awards will vest if and when any Conditions have been satisfied, waived by the Board, or are deemed to have been satisfied under the Rules, and the Company has issued a notice ( Vesting Notification ) to the participant informing them that some or all of their Awards have vested.

  • (e) Exercise of Awards: The period during which a vested Award may be exercised will commence when a Vesting Notification has been issued by the Company and ends on the Expiry Date (as defined below). Vested Awards must be exercised by delivering to the Company a signed notice together all other required documents and in the case of vested Options, a cheque or cash or such other form of payment determined by the Board for the amount of the Exercise Price (if any).

  • (f) Lapse:

  • (i) Unvested Awards will generally lapse on the earlier of:

    • (A) the cessation of employment, engagement or office of a relevant person;

    • (B) the day the Board makes a determination that all unvested Awards and vested Options of the relevant person will lapse because, in the opinion of the Board a relevant person has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or is in material breach of his or her duties or obligations to the Company;

    • (C) if any applicable Conditions are not achieved by the relevant time;

    • (D) if the Board determines that any applicable Conditions have not been met and cannot be met prior to the date that is 5 years from the grant date of an Award or any other date determined by the Board and as specified in the Offer ( Expiry Date ); or

    • (E) the Expiry Date.

  • (ii) Where a relevant person who holds Awards ceases employment with the Company and becomes a “Bad Leaver”, unvested Awards will lapse in accordance with paragraph (i) above and vested Options that have not been exercised will lapse on the date of cessation of employment, engagement or office. A Bad Leaver is a person who ceases employment or engagement with the Company in the following circumstances:

    • (A) as a result of termination of their employment or engagement due to serious and wilful misconduct, a material breach of their contract of employment, engagement or office, gross negligence or other conduct justifying

termination without notice under their contract of employment, engagement or office or at common law;

  - (B) the relevant person ceases their employment, engagement or office for any reason and commences employment, engagement or office, or otherwise acts, in breach of any post-termination restrictions contained in his or her contract of employment, engagement or office; or

  - (C) the relevant person is disqualified from managing corporations for the purposes of Part 2D.6 Corporations Act.
  • (g) Good Leaver: If a relevant person, who is classified as a “Good Leaver”, ceases employment, engagement or office with the Company, unless the Board determines otherwise, the persons Awards will lapse in accordance with the terms of the Plan and vested Options that have not been exercised will continue in force and remain exercisable, subject to the satisfaction of any exercise conditions, until the Expiry Date. A Good Leaver is a person who is not a Bad Leaver, and includes where the relevant person’s employment, engagement or office ceases due to death, permanent incapacity, redundancy, resignation, retirement or any other reason the Board determines in its discretion.

  • (h) No assignment: Awards granted under the Plan may not be assigned, transferred, novated, encumbered with a security interest (such as a mortgage, charge, pledge, lien, encumbrance or other third party interest of any nature) over them, or otherwise disposed of by a participant, other than to a nominated party (such as a spouse, child, trustee of a trust or company) in accordance with the Plan, unless:

  • (i) the prior consent of the Board is obtained; or

  • (ii) such assignment or transfer occurs by force of law upon the death of a participant to the participant's legal personal representative.

  • (i) Issue Limitations: The Board is not entitled to make an Offer to an Eligible Employee if offers of Awards under the Plan or under similar plans (excluding offers to persons situated at the time of receipt of the offer outside of Australia, that do not require the use of a disclosure document, or made under a disclosure document) in the previous 3 years would exceed 5% of the issued capital of the Company.

  • (j) Amendment of the Plan:

  • (i) The Board may at any time amend the Rules without shareholder approval in respect of the following matters:

    • (A) amendments of a "housekeeping" nature;

    • (B) changing the vesting and exercise provisions of the Plan or any Award so that the scheduled expiry date for an Award is not extended, including to provide for accelerated vesting and early exercise of any Awards;

    • (C) changing the termination provisions of the Plan or any Award so that an Award's originally scheduled expiry date is not extended;

    • (D) changing the provisions on transferability of Awards for normal estate settlement purposes;

    • (E) changing the process by which a Participant who wishes to exercise his or her Award can do so, including the required form of payment for the Shares being purchased, the form

of exercise notice and the place where such payments and notices must be delivered; and

  • (F) adding a conditional exercise feature which would give Participants the ability to conditionally exercise in certain circumstances determined by the Board.

  • (ii) No amendment to the Rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any participant in respect of the Awards granted to them prior to the date of the Amendment (except in relation to amendments stipulated by the Rules).

  • (iii) No amendment to the Plan that requires shareholder approval under any applicable securities laws or requirements shall become effective until such approval is obtained.

  • (iv) The Board may at any time terminate the Plan or suspend the operation of the Plan.
