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. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS – TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT

1.1 General

As announced on 22 May 2024, the Company has entered into a strategic investment agreement with Ragnar Metals Limited (ASX: RAG) ( Ragnar Metals ) ( SIA ).

The material terms and conditions of the SIA are as follows:

  • (a) Subscription : Ragnar Metals has agreed to subscribe for $5,010,000 in Shares at an issue price of $0.15 per Share, with one free attaching Option issued for every two Shares subscribed for and issued. The subscription will be placed in two separate tranches as follows:

  • (i) Tranche 1: $930,000 (6,200,000 Shares and 3,100,000 free attaching Options) to be issued using the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity ( Tranche 1 Securities ); and

  • (ii) Tranche 2: $4,080,000 (27,200,000 Shares and 13,600,000 free attaching Options) to be issued subject to Shareholder approval ( Tranche 2 Securities ).

The free attaching Options will have an exercise price of $0.22 and an expiry date of 31 July 2028.

  • (b) Royalty : The Company will pay Ragnar Metals a 1.5% net smelter return royalty on gold produced from the A1 Gold Mine for a period of 5 years commencing from 1 July 2025.

  • (c) Board Nominee : Ragnar Metals will have the right to have a nominee representative appointed to the Board, whilst it holds not less than 10% of the Shares on issue.

The SIA otherwise includes standard terms and conditions for an agreement of its nature.

The entry into the SIA and agreement to issue the Tranche 1 Securities did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

7

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 23 November 2023.

The agreement to issue the Tranche 1 Securities does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Securities.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the agreement to issue the Tranche 1 Securities.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the agreement to issue the Tranche 1 Securities.

1.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Tranche 1 Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Securities.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Securities will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Securities.

1.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Tranche 1 Securities will be issued to Ragnar Metals;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 6,200,000 Shares and 3,100,000 Options will be issued;

8

  • (d) the Shares issued will all be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (e) the Options issued will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (f) the Tranche 1 Securities will be issued on or about 18 July 2024, and in any case no later than 3 months after the date of the meeting;

  • (g) the issue price per Share is $0.15 and the issue price of the Options is nil as they will be issued free attaching with the Shares on a one for two basis. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 1 Securities (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

  • (h) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 1 Securities is to raise $930,000, which will be be applied towards establishing and deploying the dedicated Nova Gold Project team, which will work alongside but independently of the current mining crews until the Nova Gold Project is commissioned; and

  • (i) the Tranche 1 Securities are being issued to Ragnar Metals under the SIA. A summary of the material terms of the SIA is set out in Section 1.1.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES AND OPTIONS – TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT

2.1 General

As set out in Section 1.1, the Company has entered into an agreement with Ragnar Metals to issue 27,200,000 Shares and 13,600,000 free attaching Options subject to Shareholder approval.

As summarised in Section 1.1 above, 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.

The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Securities does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Securities. In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Securities will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Securities and the Company may need to consider alternative methods of raising further funds.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Securities.

9

2.2 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 Resolution 2:

  • (a) the Tranche 2 Securities will be issued to Ragnar Metals;

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 6,200,000 Shares and the maximum number of Options to be issued is equal to 3,100,000 as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Shares on a one for two basis;

  • (c) 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;

  • (d) the Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the Tranche 2 Securities will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Tranche 2 Securities will occur on the same date;

  • (f) the issue price will be $0.15 per Share and nil per Option as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Shares on a one for two basis. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares and Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 2 Securities is to raise $4,080,000. The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the issue towards establishing and deploying the dedicated Nova Gold Project team, which will work alongside but independently of the current mining crews until the Nova Gold Project is commissioned;

  • (h) the Tranche 2 Securities are being issued to Ragnar Metals under the SIA. A summary of the material terms of the SIA is set out in Section 1.1; and

  • (i) the Tranche 2 Securities are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTY – STEVEN FORMICA

3.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 2,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.25 on or before the date that is four (4) years from issue to Steven Formica (or their nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below.

The Options will be issued to Mr Formica in accordance with the terms of the letter of appointment entered into between Mr Formica and the Company ( Formica LOA ), the material terms of which are set out below:

  • (a) Appointment : Non-Executive Chairman

10

  • (b) Fees : $90,000 per annum plus superannuation.

  • (c) Options : Subject to shareholder approval the Company will issue Mr Formica 2,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.25 on or before the date that is four (4) years from issue.

  • (d) Termination : Mr Formica’s appointment commenced on 22 May 2024, and will cease at the end of any meeting at which he is not re-elected as a director by the Shareholders of Company, at any time he resigns by written notice, or otherwise in accordance with the Constitution or standard termination events set out in the Formica LOA.

The Formica LOA otherwise contains standard terms and conditions for an agreement of its nature.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options to Mr Formica (or their nominee).

3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

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 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.

The issue of Options to Mr Formica (or their nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Formica is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Formica who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Options because the agreement to issue the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Formica, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

3.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do

11

so;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to Mr Formica within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options and the Company may need to consider alternative ways to provide cost effective remuneration to Mr Formica.

3.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) the Options will be issued to Mr Formica (or their nominee), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as Mr Formica is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Options to be issued is 2,000,000;

  • (c) the terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Schedule 2;

  • (d) the value of the Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 5;

  • (e) the Options will be issued 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 Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date;

  • (f) the issue price of the Options will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

12

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Mr Formica to motivate and reward their performance as a Director and to provide cost effective remuneration to Mr Formica, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Mr Formica;

  • (h) the current total remuneration package for Mr Formica is $99,900, comprising of directors’ fees of $90,000 per annum, a superannuation payment of $9,900 per annum and share-based payments of $Nil. If the Options are issued, the total remuneration package of Mr Formica will increase by $136,000 to $235,900, being the value of the Options (based on the Black Scholes methodology);

  • (i) the Options are being issued to Mr Formica under the Formica LOA. A summary of the material terms of the Letter of Appointment is set out in Section 3.1; and

  • (j) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 3 of the Notice.

4. RESOLUTIONS 4 & 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

4.1 General

On 27 December 2023, the Company issued 23,166,667 Shares at an issue price of $0.15 per Share to raise $3,475,000 ( Placement Shares ).

8,378,947 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 4) and 14,787,720 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate (being, the subject of Resolution 5), which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 23 November 2023.

The issue of the Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

The Company engaged the services of Taurus Capital Group Pty Ltd ( Taurus ), an authorised representative of RM Capital Pty Ltd (AFSL 221938), to manage the issue of the Placement Shares.

In accordance with the terms of the lead manager mandate entered between the Company and Taurus ( Lead Manager Mandate ), the Company agreed:

  • (a) to pay Taurus a fee of 6% of the amount raised under the issue of the Placement Shares; and

  • (b) to issue Taurus 4,500,000 Options, exercisable at $0.25 on or before 30 November 2027.

The Lead Manager Mandate otherwise included standard terms and conditions for an agreement of this nature (including confidentiality and representation and warranty provisions).

13

4.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

As summarised in Section 1.1 above, 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 23 November 2023.

The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

4.3

Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

4.4

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 4 and 5 are not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

14

4.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 4 and 5

  • (a) the Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Taurus ( Placement Participants ).

5. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS - TAURUS

5.1 General

On 27 December 2023, in accordance with the terms of the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company issued 4,500,000 Options to Taurus (or its nominees) in consideration for lead manager services provided by Taurus in respect to the issue of the Placement Shares.

The issue of the Options did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

15

As summarised in Section 1.1 above, 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 23 November 2023.

The issue of the Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Options.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Options.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Options.

5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Options.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Options will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Options.

5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6:

  • (a) the Options were issued to Taurus (or its nominees);

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the

16

Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 4,500,000 Options were issued and the Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3;

  • (d) the Options were issued on 27 December 2023;

  • (e) the Options were issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for lead manager services provided by Taurus. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Options was to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Lead Manager Mandate; and

  • (g) the Options were issued to Taurus (or its nominee) under the Lead Manager Mandate. A summary of the material terms of the Lead Manager Mandate is set out in Section 4.1.

6. RESOLUTION 7 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTY – BRADLEY VALIUKAS

6.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue Bradley Valiukas 2,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.25 on or before 18 December 2026 on the terms and conditions set out below.

The Options will be issued to Mr Valiukas in accordance with the terms of the letter of appointment entered into between Mr Valiukas and the Company ( Valiukas LOA ), the material terms of which are set out below:

  • (a) Appointment : Executive Director

  • (b) Fees : $133,000 per annum.

  • (c) Equity Incentives : Subject to shareholder approval the Company will issue Mr Valiukas 2,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.25 on or before the 18 December 2026.

  • (d) Termination : Mr Valiukas’s appointment commenced on 18 December 2023, and will cease at the end of any meeting at which he is not reelected as a director by the Shareholders of Company, at any time he resigns by written notice, or otherwise in accordance with the Constitution or standard termination events set out in the Valiukas LOA.

The Valiukas LOA otherwise contains standard terms and conditions for an agreement of its nature.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options to Mr Valiukas (or their nominee).

6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 3.2 above.

17

The issue of Options to Mr Valiukas (or their nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Valiukas is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Valiukas who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Options because the agreement to issue the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Valiukas, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

6.3 Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 3.3 above.

The issue of Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to Mr Valiukas within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options and the Company may need to consider alternative ways to provide cost effective remuneration to Mr Valiukas.

6.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

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

  • (a) the Options will be issued to Mr Valiukas (or their nominee), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as Mr Valiukas is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Options to be issued is 2,000,000;

  • (c) the terms and conditions of the Options are set out in Schedule 4;

  • (d) the value of the Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 6;

  • (e) the Options will be issued 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 Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date;

18

  • (f) the issue price of the Options will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Mr Valiukas to motivate and reward their performance as a Director and to provide cost effective remuneration to Mr Valiukas, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Mr Valiukas;

  • (h) the current total remuneration package for Mr Valiukas is $147,630, comprising of directors’ fees of $133,000 per annum, a superannuation payment of $14,630 per annum and share-based payments of $Nil. If the Options are issued, the total remuneration package of Mr Valiukas will increase by $94,000 to $227,000, being the value of the Options (based on the Black Scholes methodology);

  • (i) the Options are being issued to Mr Valiukas under the Valiukas LOA. A summary of the material terms of the Valiukas LOA is set out in Section 6.1; and

  • (j) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 7 of the Notice.
