EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
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. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2020 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.tripleenergy.net .
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.
The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
2.2
Voting consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
3. RESOLUTIONS 2 TO 5 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES AND ATTACHING OPTIONS ON CONVERSION OF EXISTING CONVERTIBLE NOTES
3.1 General
On 6 January 2022, the Company entered into various unsecured convertible note deeds with investors pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 60,000 convertible notes to raise $60,000 ( Existing Convertible Notes ) as follows:

-
(d) 30,000 Existing Convertible Notes to Amberwood Nominees Pty Ltd (or its nominee) (the subject of Resolution 5),
(together, the Existing Noteholders ).
Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained pursuant to Resolutions 2 to 5, the Existing Convertible Notes will convert into an aggregate of 3,000,000 Shares, at a deemed issue price of $0.02 per Share (at a post-Consolidation price), and 9,000,000 attaching Options as follows:
-
(a) 500,000 Shares and 1,500,000 attaching Options to Mr John Theodore Coufos (or his nominee) (Resolution 2);
-
(b) 500,000 Shares and 1,500,000 attaching Options to G&P Redfearn Investments Pty Ltd (or its nominee) (Resolution 3);

-
(d) 1,500,000 Shares and 4,500,000 attaching Options to Amberwood Nominees Pty Ltd (or its nominee) (Resolution 5),
(together, the Existing Conversion Securities ).
Resolutions 2 to 5 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Existing Conversion Securities.
3.2 Background
As announced on 8 April 2022, the Company has entered into a binding terms sheet pursuant to which the Company agreed with Neutralysis Industries Pty Ltd
9
2974-07/2884896_20
(ACN 156 261 791) ( Neutralysis ) to make a recommended offer to its Shareholders to acquire 100% of Neutralysis ( Proposed Acquisition ).
Completion of the Proposed Acquisition will amount to a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s current activities and as such, the Company will be required to obtain approval from its Shareholders to undertake the Proposed Acquisition and to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules ( Re-Compliance ).
In order to complete the Re-Compliance, the Company will be required to undertake a capital raising to achieve ASX’s minimum spread requirements. For this purpose and to raise capital for the growth of the Company, the Company proposes to undertake a capital raising to raise a minimum of $5,000,000 (before costs) via the issue of 250,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share. The Company may also accept oversubscriptions for a further 100,000,000 Shares to raise up to an additional $2,000,000 ( Public Offer ).
Prior to the Public Offer, the Company intends to undertake a consolidation of its share capital, as further detailed in Resolution 7 .
The Company will seek Shareholder approval to undertake the Proposed Acquisition and Public Offer at an upcoming general meeting.
3.3
Use of funds
The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the Existing Convertible Notes towards partially funding the Re-Compliance and Proposed Acquisition including professional fees, due diligence and administration costs, as well as standard fees associated with conducting a transaction of this nature, including ASX and ASIC fees.
3.4 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.2 exception 17
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.
Listing Rule 7.2 exception 17 excludes from the restrictions in Listing Rules 7.1 an agreement to issue equity securities that is conditional on shareholder approval being obtained.
Where the terms of a convertible security require that conversion is subject to shareholder approval, Listing Rule 7.2 exception 17 applies. If an entity relies on Listing Rule 7.2 exception 17 in this fashion, ASX requires that an entity must not issue the underlying equity securities without first obtaining shareholder approval.
The proposed issue of the Existing Conversion Securities falls within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 17. Consequently, the issue of the Existing Conversion Securities requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
3.5
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 2 to 5 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Existing Conversion Securities. In addition, the issue of the Existing Conversion Securities will be excluded from the calculation of the number of
10
2974-07/2884896_20
equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolutions 2 to 5 are not passed the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Existing Conversion Securities, the Existing Convertible Notes will cease to be convertible and the principal amount will, in accordance with their terms, become a debt instrument that will need to be repaid by the Company.
3.6 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 Resolutions 2 to 5:
-
(a) the Existing Conversion Securities will be issued to the Existing Noteholders (or their respective nominees) as follows:

6.3 Fractional entitlements
Not all security holders will hold that number of Securities which can be evenly divided by 3.33 (recurring). Fractional entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

7. RESOLUTION 8 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
7.1 General
Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name.
Resolution 8 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the Company to change its name to ‘HyTerra Ltd.’
By way of background, as outlined in Section 3.2 the Company proposes to undertake the Proposed Acquisition. On completion of the Proposed Acquisition, the Company will transition from its previous oil and gas exploration business to an energy company seeking to develop a natural hydrogen project.
The proposed name has been reserved by the Company with ASIC and if Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will lodge a copy of the special resolution with ASIC in order to effect the change. If Resolution 8 is passed the change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.
16
2974-07/2884896_20
7.2 Board recommendation
In light of the background set out above, the Board proposes this change of name on the basis that it believes the proposed name more accurately reflects the future operations of the Company following completion of the Proposed Acquisition.
8. RESOLUTION 9 – REPLACEMENT OF CONSTITUTION
8.1 General
A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of shareholders.
Resolution 9 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution ( Proposed Constitution ) which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by shares updated to ensure it reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.
This will incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules since the Company’s existing Constitution was adopted in 2011.
The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions.
The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature including but not limited to:
-
(a) updating the name of the Company name, subject to receiving Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 8 , to ‘HyTerra Ltd’;
-
(b) updating references to bodies or legislation which have been renamed; and
-
(c) expressly providing for statutory rights by mirroring these rights in provisions of the Proposed Constitution.
The Directors believe these amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders. It is not practicable to list all of the changes to the Constitution in detail in this Explanatory Statement, however, a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below.
A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website www.tripleenergy.net and at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (+61 8 6153 1861). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
8.2 Summary of material proposed changes
Restricted Securities (clause 2.12)
The Proposed Constitution complies with the changes to Listing Rule 15.12 which took effect from 1 December 2019. As a result of these changes, ASX will require certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their controllers (such as related parties, promoters, substantial holders, service providers and their
17
2974-07/2884896_20
associates) to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form Appendix 9A, as is currently the case. However, for less significant holdings (such as non-related parties and non-promoters), ASX will permit the Company to issue restriction notices to holders of restricted securities in the form of the new Appendix 9C advising them of the restriction rather than requiring signed restriction agreements.
Minimum Securityholding (clause 3)
Clause 3 of the Constitution outlines how the Company can manage securityholdings which represent an “unmarketable parcel” of securities, being a securityholding that is less than $500 based on the closing price of the Company’s securities on ASX as at the relevant time.
The Proposed Constitution is in line with the requirements for dealing with “unmarketable parcels” outlined in the Corporations Act such that where the Company elects to undertake a sale of unmarketable parcels, the Company is only required to give one notice to holders of an unmarketable parcel to elect to retain their securityholding before the unmarketable parcel can be dealt with by the Company, saving time and administrative costs incurred by otherwise having to send out additional notices.
Clause 3 of the Proposed Constitution continues to outline in detail the process that the Company must follow for dealing with unmarketable parcels.
Fee for registration of off market transfers (clause 8.4(c))
On 24 January 2011, ASX amended Listing Rule 8.14 with the effect that the Company may now charge a “reasonable fee” for registering paper-based transfers, sometimes referred to “off-market transfers”.
Clause 8.4 of the Proposed Constitution is being made to enable the Company to charge a reasonable fee when it is required to register off-market transfers from Shareholders. The fee is intended to represent the cost incurred by the Company in upgrading its fraud detection practices specific to off-market transfers.
Before charging any fee, the Company is required to notify ASX of the fee to be charged and provide sufficient information to enable ASX to assess the reasonableness of the proposed amount.
Joint Holders (clause 9.8)
CHESS is currently being replaced by ASX with a projected go-live date of April 2023. As part of the CHESS replacement, the registration system will be modernised to record holder registration details in a structured format that will allow up to four joint holders of a security. Clause 9.8 of the Proposed Constitution provides that the number of registered joint holders of securities shall be as permitted under the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
Capital Reductions (clause 10.2)
The Proposed Constitution now permits sales of unmarketable parcels to a sale nominee as part of a capital reduction.
Direct Voting (clause 13, specifically clauses 13.35 – 13.40)
The Proposed Constitution includes a new provision which allows Shareholders to exercise their voting rights through direct voting (in addition to exercising their
18
2974-07/2884896_20
existing rights to appoint a proxy). Direct voting is a mechanism by which Shareholders can vote directly on resolutions which are to be determined by poll. Votes cast by direct vote by a Shareholder are taken to have been cast on the poll as if the Shareholder had cast the votes on the poll at the meeting. In order for direct voting to be available, Directors must elect that votes can be cast via direct vote for all or any Resolutions and determine the manner appropriate for the casting of direct votes. If such a determination is made by the Directors, the notice of meeting will include information on the application of direct voting.
Use of technology (clause 14)
The Proposed Constitution includes a new provision to permit the use of technology at general meetings (including wholly virtual meetings) to the extent permitted under the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and applicable law.
Closing date for Director nominations (clause 15.3)
On 19 December 2019, ASX amended Listing Rule 3.13.1 to provide that companies must release an announcement setting out the date of its meeting and the closing date for nominations at least 5 business days before the closing date for the receipt of such nominations. The closing date period under clause 15.3 of the Proposed Constitution has been amended to at least 30 business days previously it was 30 calendar days to allow the Company time to issue the required notification for director nominations prior to circulating the notice of meeting.
Dividends (clause 23)
Section 254T of the Corporations Act was amended effective 28 June 2010.
There is now a three-tiered test that a company will need to satisfy before paying a dividend replacing the previous test that dividends may only be paid out of profits.
The amended requirements provide that a company must not a pay a dividend unless:
-
(a) the company’s assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend;
-
(b) the payment of the dividend is fair and reasonable to the company’s shareholders as a whole; and
-
(c) the payment of the dividend does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors.
The existing Constitution reflects the former profits test and restricts the dividends to be paid only out of the profits of the Company. The Proposed Constitution is updated to reflect the new requirements of the Corporations Act. The Directors consider it appropriate to update the Constitution for this amendment to allow more flexibility in the payment of dividends in the future should the Company be in a position to pay dividends.
Partial (proportional) takeover provisions (new clause 37)
A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s shares.
19
2974-07/2884896_20
Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, the Company has included in the Proposed Constitution a provision whereby a proportional takeover bid for Shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of Shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.
This clause of the Proposed Constitution will cease to have effect on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption of last renewal of the clause.
Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act
Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions
Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a Resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed.
Reasons for proportional takeover provisions
A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.
Knowledge of any acquisition proposals
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.
Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions
The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.
The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:
-
(a) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;
-
(b) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority;
-
(c) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and
-
(d) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.
20
2974-07/2884896_20
The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:
-
(a) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;
-
(b) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and
-
(c) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.
Recommendation of the Board
The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of adopting the proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that the proportional takeover provision in the Proposed Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.
9. RESOLUTION 10 – ADOPTION OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN
9.1 General
Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Employee Securities Incentive Plan” ( Plan ) and for the issue of a maximum of 29,967,440 Securities 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.
9.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)
As summarised in Section 3.4 above, and subject to a number of exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2, 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 10 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 9.3(c) below) will be excluded
21
2974-07/2884896_20
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 10 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.
9.3 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 10:
-
(a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 4;
-
(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; and
-
(c) the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), is 29,967,440 Securities (on a post-consolidation basis). It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

SCHEDULE 4 – MATERIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN
The material terms and conditions of the Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) are as follows:
| Eligibility | Participants in the Plan may be: (a) an 'eligible participant' (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000) in relation to the Company or an associated body corporate; and (b) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time, who is declared by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion to be eligible to receive grants of Options, Performance Rights and Shares (Securities) under the Plan (Eligible Participant). |
|---|---|
| Invitation | The Company may, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Board, offer and issue to an Eligible Participant any (or any combination) of the different types of Securities provided under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Securities offered or granted under the Plan to each Eligible Participant will be determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion. |
| Convertible Security | Each Option and/or Performance Right (Convertible Security) represents a right to acquire one or more Shares, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant 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 Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. |
| Vesting of a Convertible Security |
Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities 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 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 by the due date 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 Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Options (see 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. The Board may determine in its sole and absolute discretion that a Participant will not be required to provide payment of the exercise price of Options, but that on exercise of the Options, the Company will only allot and issue or transfer that number of Plan Shares to the Participant that are equal in value to the difference between the exercise price otherwise payable in relation to the Options and the then Market Value of the Plan Shares as at the time of the exercise (with the number of Plan Shares rounded down). |
35
2974-07/2884896_20
| 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. |
|
|---|---|
| Shares | The Board may from time to time make an invitation to an Eligible Participant to acquire Shares under the Plan. The Board will determine in its sole and absolute discretion the acquisition price (if any) for each Share which may be nil. The Shares may be subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions as determined by the Board. Where Shares granted to a Participant are subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions, the Participant's 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 these Rules. |
| Forfeiture | In respect of each offer of Securities, the Board may determine, criteria, requirements or conditions which if met (notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of any performance hurdles and vesting conditions) will result in the lapsing of Convertible Securities or a Participant surrendering Shares (Forfeiture Conditions). Where such Forfeiture Conditions are met, unless the Board in its sole discretion determines otherwise, all unvested and vested Convertible Securities will automatically lapse and all unvested and vested Shares will automatically be surrendered. In addition, where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breaches his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all Securities to be forfeited. |
| Rights attaching to Shares |
Any Shares allotted, issued or transferred by the Company to a Participant under the Plan (including on exercise or conversion of Convertible Securities) will rank equally with all existing Shares on and from the date of allotment, issue or transfer, including in respect of all rights and bonus issues. |
| Disposal Restrictions | If the invitation provides that any Shares held by any Participants are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction. For so long as Shares held by any Participants are subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant must not transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Share or take any action if to do so would contravene applicable laws. |
| Change of Control | If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event. |
| 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 Securities for Participants under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of Participants upon exercise of Options and/or Performance Rights (as the case may be). |
| Participation Rights | During the currency of any Convertible Securities and prior to their vesting, Participants are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Securities of the Company as a result of their holding Convertible Securities. |
| Leaver | Where a Participant who holds Securities becomes a leaver, Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant unless the Board in its absolute discretion, resolves to allow the Participant to continue to hold the Securities after the Participant becomes a leaver due to: (a) death or total and permanent disability; or |
36
2974-07/2884896_20
| (b) retirement or redundancy; or (c) the suffering of severe financial hardship; or (d) any other circumstances determined by mutual agreement of the Board and the Participant at any time (whether before or after the Invitation). |
|
|---|---|
| Reorganisation | Subject to all applicable laws, following any variation to the issued capital of the Company arising from: (a) a reduction, subdivision or consolidation of the issued capital of the Company; (b) a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company; (c) a distribution of assets in specie; (d) the payment of a dividend, otherwise than in the ordinary course, of an amount substantially in excess of the Company's normal distribution policy; or (e) any issue of Shares or other equity securities or instruments which convert into Shares by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves, the number of Securities to which each Participant holds under the Plan, and the exercise price of Options (if any) held by each Participant, will be adjusted in accordance with the Listing Rules. |
| Amendment of Plan | Subject to the following paragraph, the Listing Rules and the Company’s constitution, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities that 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 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 the relevant Participant. |
