Resolution 3 - Employee Share Option Plan

Resolution 3 seeks approval for the establishment of a Plan to assist with the attraction and retention of employees of the Company.

A summary of the rules of the Plan is set out below:

  • All employees will be eligible to participate in the Plan. $\bullet$
  • The allocation of options to each employee, or nominee of the employee, is at the discretion of the Board.
  • Each option is to subscribe for one fully paid share in the Company and will expire 5 years from its date of issue. An option is exercisable at any time from its date of issue.
  • Each option shall be issued free. The exercise price of options will be determined by the Board, subject to a minimum price equal to 90% of the market price of the Company's shares at the time the options are offered.
  • The total number of shares the subject of options issued under the Plan, when aggregated with issues during the previous 5 years pursuant to the Plan, must not exceed 5% of the Company's share capital.
  • If, prior to the expiry date of options, a person ceases to be an employee of a group company for reason other than retirement at age 60 or more (or such earlier age as the Board permits), permanent disability, redundancy or death, the options held by the employee (or nominee) must be exercised within 3 months thereafter otherwise they will automatically lapse. If an employee dies, the options held by that person will be exercisable by that person's legal representative.
  • Options may not be transferred other than to the legal representative of a deceased option holder.
  • The Company will not apply for official quotation of options issued under this Plan.
  • Shares issued from the exercise of options shall rank equally with all other ordinary shares issued by the Company.
  • If there is a bonus share issue to holders of shares, the number of shares over which an option is exercisable will be increased by the number of shares which the option holder would have received if the option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.
  • If there is a pro rata issue (other than a bonus share issue) to the holders of shares, the exercise price of an option shall be reduced to take account of the effect of the pro rata issue.
  • If there is a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company, unexercised options will be reorganised in accordance with the Listing Rules of the Australian Stock Exchange.

No securities have been issued under this Plan since the incorporation of the Company.

The Company will disregard any votes cast on this resolution by any director or employee of the Company or any of their associates.

However the company will not disregard a vote if:

  • It is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
  • It is cast by a person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides

    1. In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, reduction, or return) of the issued capital of the Company;
  • 7.1. the number of Options, the exercise price of the Options, or both will be reconstructed (as appropriate) in a manner consistent with the ASX listing rules, but with the intention that such reconstruction will not result in any benefits being conferred on the holder of the Option which are not conferred on shareholders; and

    1. The terms of the options shall be changed if holders (whose votes are not to be disregarded) of ordinary shares in the Company approve such a change. However the terms of the Options shall not be changed to reduce the exercise rice, increase the number of options, or change any period for exercise of the options.
    1. In the event that a director ceases to be a director of the Company, for any reason, any Options not exercised prior to that event will lapse.
