Resolution 6: Issue of options to Director – Ms Leslie Chong

  • 24 Subject to Shareholders approving Resolution 6, the Company proposes to issue 3,000,000 options to Ms Leslie Chong, Director (or her nominee) ( Incentive Options ). The Incentive Options shall be issued under and subject to the terms of the ESOP.

  • 25 The board has formed the view that the issue of the Incentive Options to Ms Leslie Chong does not require shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act, as the issue of the Incentive Options constitutes ‘reasonable remuneration’ in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act.

  • 26 Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of the following Incentive Options as detailed below:

  • (a) each Incentive Option is to acquire one Share;

| Notice of Annual General Meeting

12

  • (b) the options are issued for nil consideration;

  • (c) the exercise price will be $0.40 per option;

  • (d) the options will not be transferable;

  • (e) it is intended that the options will be issued within 30 days after the Annual General Meeting, but in any event no later than 12 months after the Annual General Meeting;

  • (f) the options will expire four years from date of issue; and

  • (g) the options will equally vest over three years from date of issue.

Listing Rule 10.14

  • 27 Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:

  • 10.14.1 a director of the entity;

  • 10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or

  • 10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.

  • 28 The issue of the Incentive Options to Ms Chong falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

  • 29 Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

  • 30 If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Options to Ms Chong under the ESOP. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Incentive Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Incentive Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity. Once approval is obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14, the Company is entitled to rely on Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 4 as an exception to any requirement that may otherwise apply requiring Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.

  • 31 If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Options to Ms Chong under the ESOP and may need to agree alternative forms of remuneration with Ms Chong.

General Terms of the issue of options under Resolution 6

  • 32 The other general terms for the Incentive Options to be issued to Ms Chong under Resolution 6 are:

  • (a) if there is a reorganisation (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the share capital of the Company, the rights attaching to the options will be changed to

| Notice of Annual General Meeting

13

the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a re-organisation of capital at the time of the re-organisation;

  • (b) the Incentive Options do not entitle the holder to participate in any new issues by the Company without exercising the options;

  • (c) the Incentive Options do not confer on the holder any rights to a change in the exercise price of the options or a change to the number of underlying securities over which the options can be exercised except:

  • (i) in the case of a pro rata issue to the holders of shares (except a bonus issue) in which case the exercise price of each option shall be reduced in accordance with the formula contained in Listing Rule 6.22.2; and

  • (ii) in the case of a bonus issue to the holders of Shares, in which case the number of Shares over which each option is exercisable shall be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the option would have received if the option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue;

  • (d) all shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Options will, subject to the Constitution of the Company, rank in all respects (other than in respect of dividends, rights issues or bonus issues declared prior to allotment) equally with the existing Shares at the date of issue and allotment; and

  • (e) the Incentive Options will not be quoted on ASX. The Company intends to apply to ASX for quotation of any Shares acquired on exercise of the options.

Directors’ recommendation

  • 177 The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Resolutions 15: Increase in non-executive directors’ fee pool

  • 178 In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.17, an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of directors’ fees payable to all of its non-executive directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary shares.

  • 179 Directors’ fees include all fees payable by the Company or any of its child entities to a nonexecutive director for acting as a director of the Company or any child entities (including attending and participating in any board committee meetings), superannuation contributions for

| Notice of Annual General Meeting

30

the benefit of a non-executive director and any fees which a non-executive director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits. It does not include reimbursement of genuine out of pocket expenses, genuine ‘special exertion’ fees paid in accordance with the Company’s constitution, or securities issued to a non-executive director under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 with the approval of the Company’s Shareholders.

  • 180 Rule 19.5 of the Company’s constitution also provides that each director is entitled to such remuneration from the Company for their services as a director as the Company in general meeting determines provided the amount is fixed and is not increased except with the approval of the shareholders at a general meeting.

  • 181 Shareholders last approved an increase in the maximum annual aggregate remuneration of directors at the Company’s 2015 Annual General Meeting whereby a maximum annual aggregate remuneration of $400,000 was approved. Details of the total fees paid to non-executive directors for the financial year ending 30 June 2022 are set out in the Remuneration Report commencing on page 15 of the 2022 Annual Report.

  • 182 Shareholder approval is sought to increase the maximum annual aggregate remuneration of nonexecutive directors ( NED Remuneration Limit ) that may be paid by the Company as remuneration for the services of the Company’s non-executive directors to $1 million. If this Resolution 15 is passed, the NED Remuneration Limit will be increased $600,000 from $400,000 to $1 million with effect on and from the date of the AGM. If this Resolution 15 is not passed, there will be no change to the NED Remuneration Limit from that previously approved at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.

  • 183 The proposed increase in the NED Remuneration Limit will provide the flexibility to change the composition of the Board as part of the ongoing Board renewal process and to adjust fees to maintain market competitiveness and to reflect increasing demands on non-executive directors.

  • 184 The proposed increase in the NED Remuneration Limit does not impact on the remuneration arrangements of the Managing Director or any other executives. As an executive director of the Company, the Managing Director does not receive separate directors’ fees in addition to the remuneration package he receives in his senior executive capacity.

Directors’ recommendation

  • 186 As the directors (other than Ms Leslie Chong and Mr Paul Hopper, who are executive directors) have an interest in the outcome of Resolution 15, they consider it would not be appropriate to make a recommendation in relation to this resolution.

Resolutions 16: Renewal of Employee Share Option Plan

  • 187 A key foundation of the Company’s equity incentive programme is the Company’s ESOP.

  • 188 The ESOP is designed to:

  • (a) align employee incentives with shareholders’ interests;

  • (b) assist employee attraction and retention; and

  • (c) encourage share ownership by employees.

  • 189 The ESOP was last amended and adopted at the Company’s Annual General Meeting in 2020.

Listing Rules

  • 190 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Company to issue a maximum of 15% of its capital in any 12month period without requiring shareholder approval. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13, an issue under an employee incentive plan will not count toward a company’s 15% limit provided the plan was approved by shareholders within three years before the date of the securities being issued. Approval is therefore sought in respect of the ESOP under that rule.

  • 191 If Resolution 16 is not approved, any issuances of securities by the Company under the ESOP will count towards the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (unless such securities are issued with shareholder approval under a different Listing Rule).

Corporations Act

  • 192 In respect of Resolution 16, Shareholders are also being asked to approve the ability for the Board to be able to exercise certain discretions under the ESOP in relation to the treatment of unvested or unexerciseable awards that may have been granted under the ESOP.

  • 193 Under the ESOP, the Company has the flexibility to offer performance rights, options, shares and share appreciation rights.

Listing Rules

  • 194 For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13:

  • (a) 83,958,658 securities have been issued under the ESOP since it was last approved by Shareholders in 2020; and

| Notice of Annual General Meeting

32

  • (b) the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the ESOP within the three-year period from the date of the passing of this resolution is 783,542,716 (which currently represents 12.5% of the Company’s Share capital). This number is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of securities to be issued by the Company, simply a ceiling for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

  • 195 A copy of the ESOP is set out in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum.

Corporations Act

  • 196 Shareholders are also being asked to approve the ability for the Board to be able to exercise certain discretions under the ESOP in relation to the treatment of unvested or unexerciseable awards that may have been granted under the ESOP.

  • 197 The Corporations Act provides that the Company may only give a person a benefit in connection with their ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in the Company or its related bodies corporate if it is approved by Shareholders or an exemption applies (for example, where the benefit together with other benefits does not exceed the base salary of the relevant person as set out in section 200F Corporations Act).

  • 198 The term ‘benefit’ has a wide operation and may include (for example) the accelerated vesting of awards issued under the ESOP. Under the terms of the ESOP, the Board has the discretion to determine that some, or all, of those awards that have not vested or are not otherwise exercisable at the time an eligible participant ceases employment with the Company either vest, become exercisable or otherwise waive restrictions on the awards. If an eligible participant who holds, or has held, a managerial or executive office within the meaning of section 200B ceases employment with the Company, that eligible participant may be entitled to have any awards issued to them vest, or otherwise become exercisable where the awards were not otherwise (at the discretion of the Board). This constitutes a ‘benefit’ for the purposes of section 200B Corporations Act.

  • 199 Advance shareholder approval is therefore being sought, for the purposes of sections 200B and 200E Corporations Act, to provide benefits which may otherwise be prohibited under section 200B Corporations Act. If shareholder approval is obtained, it will give the Board maximum flexibility to deal with the unvested or unexerciseable awards under the plan granted to executives or key personnel who cease employment.

  • 200 Shareholders are not being asked to approve any increase in the remuneration or benefits payable to relevant personnel, nor any variations to the existing discretions of the Board. Approval is sought in relation to both current and future personnel who hold or have held during the three years prior to cessation of employment a managerial or executive office in the Company or a related body corporate.

  • 201 The amount and value of the termination benefits for which the Company is seeking approval is the maximum potential benefit that could be provided under the ESOP, in order to provide the Board with the discretion to determine the most appropriate termination package for the outgoing executives or key personnel. There is no obligation for the Board to exercise this discretion. Exercise of the discretion will depend on factors such as the participant’s performance, contribution and tenure. The amount and value of any consequent termination benefits that may be received as a result of early exercise of the awards upon cessation of employment cannot be ascertained in advance. This is because various matters, events and circumstances will or are likely to affect the calculation of the amount and value, including:

  • (a) the circumstances of the participant’s cessation of employment (for example, whether cessation of employment arises due to resignation, retirement or redundancy);

| Notice of Annual General Meeting

33

  • (b) the terms contained within the invitation to participate (such as the applicable vesting conditions);

  • (c) number of unvested or unexercisable awards held by the relevant eligible participant prior to cessation of employment;

  • (d) the market price of the Company’s shares on the ASX at the relevant time; and

  • (e) any other factors that the Board determines to be relevant when exercising its discretion under the Plan.

  • 202 It can be reasonably anticipated that aspects of the ESOP may be amended from time to time in line with market practice and changing governance standards. Where relevant, these changes will be reported in the Company’s Remuneration Report. However, it is intended that this approval will remain valid for Board discretions exercised under the ESOP, provided that at the time the discretion is exercised the ESOP rules contain a discretion for the Board to vest all or a pro rata portion of a participant’s unvested awards or to allow them to continue on foot on the terms of the ESOP rules.

Directors’ recommendation

  • 203 The Directors abstain, in the interest of good corporate governance, from making a recommendation in relation to this resolution.

Page 7 of 15

5 OFFER

5.1 Offer to participate

The Board may, from time to time, at its absolute discretion, make an Offer (in such form as the Board decides from time to time) to:

  • a) Eligible Employees; and/or;

Other persons who the Board has declared to be eligible, inviting applications for the number of Options specified in the Offer.

5.2 Information about Options

In respect of each Offer, the Board must advise each person to whom the Offer is made under rule 5.1 of the following information relevant to an Option that may be granted under the Plan, namely:

  • a) Any Exercise Price or Cashless Exercise Facility;

  • b) The designated Exercise Period;

  • c) The number of Shares for which the Participant will be entitled to subscribe upon the exercise of the Option;

  • d) The Closing Date;

  • e) The Expiry Date; and

6 EXERCISE PRICE

The Exercise Price (if any) of Options issued pursuant to the Plan will be determined at the discretion of the Board and specified in the Offer.

6.1 Cashless exercise

  • a) The Board may determine (in its discretion) and specify in an Offer that in exercising the Options, a Participant may elect to pay the Exercise Price by use of a cashless exercise facility.

Page 8 of 15

  • ii. by use of the cashless exercise facility described below.

  • b) The Cashless Exercise Facility entitles a Participant to set-off the Exercise Price against the number of Shares which the Participant is entitled to receive upon exercise of the Participant’s Options ( Cashless Exercise Facility ). By using the Cashless Exercise Facility, the Participant will receive Shares to the value of the surplus after the Exercise Price has been set-off. If a Participant elects to use the Cashless Exercise Facility, the Participant will only be issued that number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) as are equal in value to the difference between the total Exercise Price otherwise payable for the Options on the Options being exercised and the then market value of the Shares at the time of exercise (determined as the volume weighted average prices at which Shares were traded on the ASX over the one week period immediately preceding the exercise date) which is to be calculated in accordance with the following:

S = O x (MSP – EP)

MSP

Where:

S = Number of Shares to be issued on exercise of the Options.

O = Number of Options.

MSP = Market value of the Shares (calculated using the volume weighted average prices at which Shares were traded on the ASX over the one week period immediately preceding the exercise date).

EP = Option exercise price.

7 MARKET PRICE

During the Exercise Period, the Board will, make available to the Eligible Employee, the Market Price of Shares in the same class as those offered subject to the Options, within a reasonable time of the Eligible Employee making such a request.
