4. Resolution 3: Approval of Employee Incentive Plan
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution which provides for the approval of the proposed employee incentive plan of the Company ( Plan ). A summary of the Plan is set out below.
The Plan forms what the Board considers to be an important element of the Company's total remuneration strategy for officers and staff. The Board resolved to adopt the Plan on 20 September 2018, and is now seeking Shareholder approval of the Plan.
(a)
Objectives
The primary objectives of the Plan are to:
-
(i) set out a method by which eligible participants can participate in the future growth and profitability of the Company;
-
(ii) provide an incentive and reward for eligible participants for their contribution to the Company; and
-
(iii) attract and retain a high standard of managerial and technical personnel for the benefit of the Company.
-
(b)
Eligible Participants
Under the Plan, an award ( Award ) may be in the form of:
-
(i) an option ( Option ) (a right to acquire a Share);
-
(ii) a cash right (a right to be issued a cash payment with no exercise price);
-
(iii) a deferred option award (an Option with no exercise price);
-
(iv) a performance right (a right to receive Shares once specified performance criteria are met); or
-
(v) a share appreciation right (rights to receive payment equal to the positive difference between the value of the Share as determined by the Board in the offer and the market value of the Share when the right is exercised ( Appreciation Value ).
The Board at its sole discretion may invite any eligible person, including Directors, selected by it to complete an application relating to a specified number and type of Award allocated to that eligible person by the Board. The Board may offer Awards to any eligible person it determines and determine the extent of that person’s participation in the Plan ( Participant ).
An offer by the Board is required to specify, among other things, the type of Award offered, the date and maximum number of Awards being offered, the issue price, exercise price or vesting conditions (if any) and any other matters the Board deems necessary, including the terms and conditions attaching to the Awards.
7
(c) 5% Limit
The Plan has been prepared to comply with ASIC Class Order [CO 14/1000] ( Class Order ) and as such, offers under the Plan are limited to the 5% capital limit set out in the Class Order.
(d) Terms of Awards
No adjustments will be made to the number of Awards granted to a Participant under the Plan if dividends or other distributions are paid on Shares before Awards are exercised.
Shares issued to Participants on the exercise of an Award carry the same rights and entitlements as other Shares on issue. The Company will not seek quotation of any Awards, but will seek quotation for Shares issued on the exercise or conversion of Awards, provided the Company is listed on the ASX at the time.
Unless the Board determines otherwise, or as required by the law, an Award granted under the Plan is not capable of being transferred or encumbered by a Participant. The Company may buy-back Awards for an amount agreed with the Participant at any time, subject to applicable laws.
(e)
Exercise of Awards
At the sole and absolute discretion of the Board, and in general terms, Awards granted under the Plan may only be exercised if particular exercise or vesting conditions have been met or waived, the exercise price (if any) has been paid to the Company, the Awards are exercised within the respective exercise period (if any) and the Participant has been issued a vesting notification. An Award granted under the Plan may not be exercised once it has lapsed.
(f) Lapse of Awards
Subject to the terms and conditions in the offer and Award, and at the Board’s absolute discretion, a Participant’s Awards will lapse:
-
(i) 90 days after the date of the lawful termination of the Participant where the dismissal was not due to:
-
(A) serious and willful misconduct;
-
(B) a material breach of the terms of employment or engagement; or
-
(C) gross negligence; and
-
(D) the Participant does not breach any post-termination restrictions ( Good Leaver ); or
-
(ii) 90 days after the date of death or disability of the Participant (where the disability is such that the Participant is unable to perform normal duties in the opinion of a medical practitioner nominated by the Board); or
-
(iii) immediately if:
-
(A) the Participant’s lawful termination was not as a Good Leaver; or
-
(B) the Participant resigned from the Board, employment or consultancy with the Company; or
-
(C) the Participant was made redundant; or
8
- (D) the Participant loses control of its permitted nominee and the Awards are not transferred to the Participant.
(g)
Cash Rights and Deferred Option Awards
Subject to the terms and conditions of the offer, a Participant may elect to receive deferred option awards in lieu of all or a percentage of its cash rights. Such election must be made by giving written notice to the Company within 5 business days of receiving a vesting notification.
(h)
Share Appreciation Rights
If a Participant exercises its share appreciation rights, subject to the terms and conditions of the offer, the Board will choose, in its sole and absolute discretion, one of the two following methods (or a combination of both) to realize the value of each of the exercised share appreciation rights.
-
(i) A cash payment to the Participant of the Appreciation Value (less any tax or statutory superannuation) of the exercised share appreciation right ( Cash Settled ).
-
(ii) An allotment and issuance, or transfer of, the number of Shares to the Participant equal in value to the Appreciation Value, calculated when the share appreciation right is exercised ( Equity Settled ). Fractions of a Share are disregarded.
(i)
Options – Fractional Exercise Facility
Under the terms of the Plan, a Participant may request to pay the exercise price for an Option by setting off the exercise price against the number of Shares which they are entitled to receive upon exercise ( Fractional Exercise Facility ). By using the Fractional Exercise Facility, the holder will receive Shares to the value of the surplus after the exercise price has been set off. Any such request must be expressly made by the Participant in the exercise notice. The Board may approve or refuse the request in its sole and absolute discretion.
If the difference between the total exercise price otherwise payable and the then market value of Shares at the time of exercise is zero or negative, the Participant is not eligible to use the Fractional Exercise Facility.
(j)
Participation Rights
Holders of Awards issued under the Plan are not entitled to participate or attend a meeting of the Shareholders of the Company or receive any dividends declared by the Company until the Award is exercised or converted and the Participant holds Shares as a result of the exercise or conversion.
An Award does not confer on a Participant the right to participate in new issues of Shares by the Company (including by way of bonus issue, rights issue or otherwise).
(k)
Clawback
If the Board becomes aware of a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements or some other event occurred which, as a result, means the vesting conditions in respect of certain vested Awards were not, or should not, have been determined to have been satisfied, the Participant will cease to be entitled to those vested Awards.
(l)
Variation of Capital
If the event of any variations to the share capital of the Company, the Board may adjust the exercise price (if applicable) and the number of Awards to which a Participant is entitled in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. In doing so, the Board may make any adjustments it deems necessary or desirable to ensure the consequences of the adjustments are fair as
9
between the Participants and the holders of other securities in the Company, subject to the ASX Listing Rules.
(m) Fraudulent Behaviour
If, in the opinion of the Board, a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or is in material breach of his duties or obligations to the Company or its subsidiaries, the Board may determine that any Award granted to that Participant should lapse, and the Award will lapse accordingly.
(n)
Change of Control Event
On the occurrence of a change of control event, being, in general terms, an unconditional takeover bid under Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act, a court sanctioned scheme of arrangement or any other merger involving the Company occurs which results in the holders of Shares holding 50% or less of the voting shares in the Company, the Board may in its sole discretion determine that all or a percentage of unvested Awards will vest and become exercisable in accordance with the Plan rules.
(o)
Compliance with Laws
Awards may not be granted, issued, acquired, transferred or otherwise dealt with under the Plan if to do so would contravene the Corporations Act or any other applicable laws or regulations.
The Plan contains customary and usual terms having regard to Australian law for dealing with administration (including taxation of Awards), variation and termination of the Plan.
Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9(b)
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, without shareholder approval, subject to certain exceptions, issue during any 12 month period any equity securities or other securities with rights of conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Under Exception 9(b) in Listing Rule 7.2, shareholders may approve the issue of equity securities under an employee incentive scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. If such approval is obtained, Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of equity securities in the Company made under an employee incentive plan within three years of the approval.
The grant of any securities to a director of the Company will require specific approval under Listing Rule 10.14.
Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
5. Resolution 4: Approval of 10% Placement Facility
Resolution 4 is a special resolution which seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Equity Securities totalling up to 10% of the issued capital of the Company under and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.
Listing Rule 7.1A
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities totalling up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over the 10% Placement Period (defined below) ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
10
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
As Resolution 4 is a special resolution, at least 75% of the votes cast must be cast in favour of the Resolution in order for it to be passed.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice, the only quoted Equity Securities that the Company has on issue are its Shares.
Approval of the 10% Placement Facility is valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting until the earlier of:
-
12 months after the Annual General Meeting; and
-
the date shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
-
or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).
The number of Equity Securities that the Company will have the capacity to issue under the 10% Placement Facility will be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A has the same meaning as in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity – i.e. the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(a) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(c) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
(d) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
-
D is 10%.
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4:
- (a) Minimum price at which the securities may be issued
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.3, any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be issued for at least 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
11
-
the date on which the price of the Equity Securities is agreed; or
-
if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the above date, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b)
Risk of economic and voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will dilute Shareholders who do not participate in the issue. The table below shows the potential economic and voting dilution of existing Shareholders as a result of the Company issuing Shares under the 10% Placement Facility, based on different issue prices and values for variable ‘A’ in the above formula.
| Issueprice - AUD$ | Issueprice - AUD$ | Issueprice - AUD$ | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable ‘A’ | $0.026 | $0.052 | $0.078 | |
| (Shares on issue) | (50% decrease) | (Current)2 | (50% increase) | |

||
| (100% increase) | Funds raised | $1,901,880 $3,803,760 $5,705,641 |
Notes:
-
The current variable ‘A’ is assumed to be the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice. The number of Shares on issue could increase as a result of, for example, an issue that does not require Shareholder approval (e.g. a pro rata offer to Shareholders) or an issue with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The current price of Shares is the closing price on the ASX on 14 September 2018.
-
The table assumes that no Options or other convertible securities are exercised or converted into Shares prior to an issue under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
The table assumes that the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
The table assumes that issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consist only of Shares.
-
The table does not show examples of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of issues under the 10% Placement Facility. Shareholders should consider the potential dilution caused in the context of their own circumstances.
-
The table only shows the effect of issues under Listing Rule 7.1A, and not issues under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Shareholders should further note that:
- the market price for the Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of issue than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
12
- the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Equity Securities on the date of issue.
(c)
Date by which the securities may be issued
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.1, any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be issued during the 10% Placement Period. The 10% Placement Facility will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
(d)
Purposes for which the securities may be issued
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility may be issued for the following purposes (without limitation):
-
as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances, the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3;
-
for cash consideration to raise funds. In such circumstances, the Company may apply the funds raised towards the exploration activities at its existing projects and/or for acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition) and general working capital.
(e)
Allocation policy for issues of securities
The Company’s allocation policy for any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the relevant time, however recipients will not be related parties of the Company. The identity of recipients of Equity Securities will otherwise be determined on a case by case basis having regard to the following factors (without limitation):
-
the purpose of the issue;
-
alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company including rights issues or other issues in which existing Shareholders can participate;
-
the effect of the issue on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
prevailing market conditions; and
-
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issuing any Equity Securities.
(f)
