3 Background

3.1 The acquisition of the Marda Project

On 20 December 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into a binding sale and purchase agreement ( Acquisition Agreement ) to acquire Marda Operations Pty Ltd ( Marda Operations ), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ramelius Resources Limited (ASX:RMS) ( Ramelius ) and which holds the Marda Project ( Project ), located in the Goldfields-Esperance and Wheatbelt regions of Western Australia, from Ramelius ( Acquisition ).

Completion of the Acquisition is subject to conditions precedent, including:

  • (a) Ramelius completing the haulage of existing ore stockpiled on the Run of Mine (ROM) pads at the Project; and

  • (b) the Company obtaining Shareholder approval for the issue of the Consideration Shares (described below).

The Project encompasses 47 tenements, covering a total area of approximately 510 km[2 ] ( Project Tenements ).

As consideration for the Acquisition the Company has agreed to:

  • (a) issue to Ramelius (or its nominee):

  • (i) such number of Shares equal to $500,000; or

  • (ii) if the issue of the Consideration Shares would result in Ramelius holding a voting power of 9.97% or more in the Company immediately following their issue, such

page 7

number of Shares that will result in Ramelius holding a voting power in the Company of 9.97% ( Revised Initial Consideration Shares ), and the Company will pay Ramelius an amount equal to the difference between $500,000 and the Australian dollar value of the Revised Initial Consideration Shares,

(the Consideration Shares ); and

  • (b) pay to Ramelius (or its nominee):

  • (i) $500,000 in cash within 30 days of the Company declaring one or more Mineral Resource estimates of any category or categories of geological knowledge and confidence, that, in aggregate, show at least 500,000 ounces of gold from within the Project Tenements; and

  • (ii) $1,000,000 in cash within 30 days of the Company declaring one or more Mineral Resource estimates of any category or categories of geological knowledge and confidence, that, in aggregate, show at least 1,000,000 ounces of gold from within the Project Tenements,

(the Cash Consideration ).

The deemed issue price of the Consideration Shares will be the higher of the 10-day VWAP of Shares as at the date one day prior to Completion and $0.06 per Consideration Share.

3.2 The Placement

In connection with the Acquisition, on 28 January 2025 the Company announced a capital raising to raise $3.25 million via the issue of 33,163,265 Shares at an issue price of $0.098 per share ( Placement Shares ) pursuant to a two-tranche placement ( Placement ) as follows:

  • (a) 15,839,585 Placement Shares, which were issued on 31 January 2025 pursuant to the Company's existing Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A capacity (being 9,503,751 and 6,335,834 Placement Shares respectively) ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ) to raise ~$1.55 million; and

  • (b) 17,323,680 Placement Shares subject to Shareholder approval ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ), to raise ~$1.7 million.

Shaw and Partners acted as lead manager to the Placement (the Lead Manager ), in connection with which the Company and the Lead manager entered into a mandate agreement ( Lead Manager Mandate ). Subject to shareholder approval, as part consideration for acting as lead manager, the Company has agreed to issue the Lead Manager 3,250,000 options over one Share each, expiring 3 years from their date of issue and exercisable at $0.1715 for each option ( Broker Options ).

The Company's existing Directors will, subject to Shareholder approval, participate in the issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares as follows (together, the Related Party Participants ):

  • (c) 500,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares ($49,000) to Mr Chris Piggott (and/ or his nominee);

  • (d) 255,102 Tranche 2 Placement Shares ($25,000) to Mr Simon Jackson (and/ or his nominee); and

  • (e) 204,082 Tranche 2 Placement Shares ($20,000) to Mr Scott Williamson (and/ or his nominee).

Other than the Related Party Participants, the remaining participants in the Placement were existing contacts of the Company (including existing Shareholders) and clients of the Lead

page 8

Manager, being sophisticated and professional investors to whom a disclosure document does not need to be provided under the Corporations Act, none of whom is a related party or Material Investor of the Company ( Placement Participants ). The Lead Manager identified investors through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company.

Funds raised from the Placement will be used towards payment of the Cash Consideration for the Acquisition.

4 Resolution 1 – Approval for the issue of the Consideration Shares to Ramelius

4.1

General

The details of the Acquisition are outlined in Section 3.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Consideration Shares to Ramelius (and/or its nominee) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2

Listing Rule 7.1

The Company is party to the Acquisition Agreement which requires the issue of the Consideration Shares as consideration for the Acquisition.

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.

The proposed issue of Consideration Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and, therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, Resolution 1 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the Consideration Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Shares to Ramelius (and/or its nominee) in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement to acquire Marda Operations and the Project. In addition, the issue 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 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Shares and the Company will not acquire Marda Operations and the Project.

4.3 Specific information required pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3

Under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Consideration Shares:

  • (a) the Consideration Shares will be issued to Ramelius (and/or its nominee);

  • (b) the number of Consideration Shares to be issued will be determined in accordance with the calculation set out in Section 3.1(a). The maximum number of Consideration Shares that may be issued is 8,333,333 Consideration Shares;

  • (c) the deemed issue price of the Consideration Shares will be the higher of the 10-day VWAP of Shares as at the date one day prior to Completion and $0.06 per Consideration Share. Worked examples demonstrating the number of Consideration Shares to be issued based on a range of issue prices is included below;

page 9

Issue price ($) Consideration Shares
0.14 3,571,428
0.12 4,166,666
0.10 5,000,000
0.08 6,250,000
0.06 8,333,333
  • (d) the Consideration Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

  • (e) the Consideration Shares will be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (f) the Consideration Shares will be issued as consideration for the acquisition of the Project. Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Consideration Shares;

  • (g) a summary of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement is set out in Section 3.1 above; and

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

4.4 Board recommendation

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. Each Board member has confirmed they will be voting their own Shares in favour of Resolution 1.

5 Resolution 2 – Ratification of prior issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares

5.1 General

Details of the Placement are outlined in Section 3.2.

Resolution 2(a) and Resolution 2(b) seek the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

5.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4

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.

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 this approval at its annual general meeting held on 26 November 2024.

The issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders. This effectively utilises part of the 15% and 10% limits under each of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A respectively, reducing the Company's

page 10

capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

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 Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, the resolutions which form part of Resolution 2 seek Shareholder approval for the ratification of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4. If the resolutions which form part of Resolution 2 are passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% and 10% limits in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A respectively, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares (with respect to Listing Rule 7.1) and until the earlier of:

  • (a) 26 November 2025;

  • (b) the Company's next annual general meeting; or

  • (c) the date Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2,

(with respect to Listing Rule 7.1A).

In the event that Resolution 2(a) is not passed, 9,503,751 Shares will be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

In the event that Resolution 2(b) is not passed, 6,335,834 Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, until the earlier of:

  • (d) 26 November 2025;

  • (e) the Company's next annual general meeting; or

  • (f) the date Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.

5.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares:

  • (a) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to the Placement Participants, being sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom are considered to be a Material Investor for the purposes of section 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21;

  • (b) a total of 15,839,585 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 31 January 2025 as follows:

page 11

  • (i) 9,503,751 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval (which are the subject of Resolution 2(a)); and

  • (ii) 6,335,834 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued within the 10% limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1A, without the need for Shareholder approval (which are the subject of Resolution 2(b));

  • (c) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued at $0.098 per Share;

  • (e) the proceeds from the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares are intended to be used for accelerating exploration and drilling programs across Leeuwin's portfolio; corporate and working capital requirements and for costs of the Placement;

  • (f) there are no additional material terms with respect to the agreements for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares; and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5.4 Board recommendation

Each of the resolutions which forms part of Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each of the resolutions which forms part of Resolution 2.

6 Resolution 3 – Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares

6.1 General

Details of the Placement are outlined in Section 3.2.

Resolution 3 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in Section 4.2 above.

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

To this end, Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and raise ~$1.7 million for the purposes outlined in Section 3.2. In addition, the issue 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 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and may need to seek over avenues to raise additional funds sufficient to finance the Acquisition (including debt). Failure to do so could result in the Company failing to pay the purchase price under the Acquisition Agreement and thus not completing the Acquisition. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, that the terms of the financing will be favourable to the Company.

page 12

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares:

  • (a) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to Placement Participants, being sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom are considered to be a Material Investor for the purposes of section 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21 (separate approval for the issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Related Party Participants is being obtained – see Section 7);

  • (b) a maximum of 17,323,680 Tranche 2 Placement Shares are to be issued;

  • (c) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued no later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules), and it is intended they be issued on the same date within a fortnight of the Meeting;

  • (e) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued at $0.098 per Share;

  • (f) the proceeds from the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are intended to be used towards payment of the Cash Consideration for the Acquisition;

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

6.4 Board recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

7 Resolution 4 – Approval for participation in the Placement by the Directors

7.2

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:

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

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

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

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

  • (e) a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5),

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The proposed issues of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Related Party Participants (or their respective nominees) fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. They therefore require the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the Participation as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares to the Related Party Participants (or their nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company's 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

The resolutions which form part of Resolution 4 seek the required Shareholder approval to the proposed issues of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Related Party Participants under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

  • (i) there are no additional material terms with respect to the agreements for the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares; and

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

7.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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.

If passed, the resolutions which form part of Resolution 4 will result in the issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit, and the Related Party Participants are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors, other than:

  • (a) Mr Chris Piggott, in respect of Resolution 4(a);

  • (b) Mr Simon Jackson, in respect of Resolution 4(b); and

7.5 Board recommendation

Each of the resolutions which forms part of Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Directors decline to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4(a), (b) and (c) due to their material personal interests in the outcome of the Resolutions.

The Performance Rights are to be issued under the Company's Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ), the terms of which are summarised in Schedule 4, and announced on ASX on 28 March 2023.

page 16

The issues of Performance Rights to the Related Parties are to be considered under Listing Rule 10.14, given the Messers Piggott, Jackson and Williamson are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors .

In respect of the Related Parties, the Performance Rights provide an incentive component to their respective remuneration packages, and align their interests with those of Shareholders. The Board considers that the number of Performance Rights to be granted to Messers Piggott, Jackson and Williamson, is commensurate with their value to the Company and is an appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration. The Board believes it is important to offer these Performance Rights to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.

The Performance Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration. The full terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are set out in Schedule 2.

8.2 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • (a) a director of the company (Listing Rule 10.14.1);

  • (b) an associate of a director the company (Listing Rule 10.14.2); or

  • (c) a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.14.3),

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The proposed issue of the Performance Rights falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 (or Listing Rule 10.14.2 if a Related Party elects for the Performance Rights to be granted to their nominee) and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 10.11 is not required.

If Resolution 5(a) to (c) (inclusive) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to the Related Parties and the Related Parties will be remunerated accordingly based on the achievement of the Vesting Conditions set out above.

If Resolution 5(a) to (c) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to the Related Parties and the Company may need to consider other forms of performance-based remuneration, including by the payment of cash.

8.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15

Under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Performance Rights to the Related Parties:

  • (a) a maximum of 3,700,000 Performance Rights will be issued under the Plan to Messrs Piggott, Jackson and Williamson (or their respective nominees), in the amounts specified in Section 8.1;

  • (b) each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director and falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1. In the event the Performance Rights are issued to a nominee of a Related Party, that person will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.2;

  • (c) the Performance Rights will be issued on the terms set out in Schedule 2;

page 17

  • (d) no Securities have previously been issued under the Plan to the Related Parties (or their associates); the Performance Rights will be issued no later than three years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (e) the Performance Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration as they will be issued as part of the Directors' remuneration package, and therefore no funds will be raised as a result of the issue. Funds raised upon any exercise of the Performance Rights are intended to be used for general working capital purposes;

  • (f) the current total remuneration package for the Directors as at the date of this Notice is set out below:

Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in the Plan after any or all of Resolution 5(a) to (c) (inclusive) are approved and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule; and

  • (k) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

8.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is included at Section 7.4.

In relation to Resolution 5(a), the Board (other than Mr Piggott who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5(a), considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Piggott

page 18

because the issue of Performance Rights constitutes reasonable remuneration payable to Mr Piggott in accordance with the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act.

In relation to Resolution 5(b), the Board (other than Mr Jackson, who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5(b) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Jackson because the issue of Performance Rights constitutes reasonable remuneration payable to Mr Jackson in accordance with the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act.

In relation to Resolution 5(c), the Board (other than Mr Williamson who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5(c)) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Williamson because the issue of Performance Rights constitutes reasonable remuneration payable to Mr Williamson in accordance with the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act.

8.5 Board recommendation

Each of the resolutions which forms part of Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

The Directors decline to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5(a) to (c) (inclusive) due to their material personal interests in the outcome of the Resolutions.

9 Resolution 6 – Approval to issue Broker Options

9.1 General

Details of the Placement and Broker Options are outlined in Section 3.2.

Resolution 6 seeks the approval of Shareholders to issue the Broker Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

9.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in Section 4.2 above.

The proposed issue of Broker Options does not fall within any of the exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval to issue Broker Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options as consideration for the Lead Manager's services provided pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate. In addition, the issue 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 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options and the Company will be required to reach an alternative agreement with the Lead Manager, which is likely to involve the issue of additional Securities (subject to the Company having sufficient capacity to issue additional Securities), or if such capacity is not available, will need to negotiate an alternative agreement with the Lead Manager which may involve paying cash consideration to the Lead Manager in respect of services performed to date.

The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for any (or any combination of) the Securities provided under the Plan on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

  • (e) Grant of Securities

The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number and type of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

(f) Rights attaching to Convertible Securities

A Convertible Security represents a right to acquire one or more Plan Shares in accordance with the Plan (for example, an Option or a Performance Security).

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, the holder:

page 27

  • (i) does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security other than as expressly set out in the Plan;

  • (ii) is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a meeting of the shareholders of the Company;

  • (iii) is not entitled to receive any dividends declared by the Company; and

  • (iv) is not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares (see Adjustment of Convertible Securities section below).

(g) Vesting of Convertible Securities

Any vesting conditions which must be satisfied before Convertible Securities can be exercised and converted to Shares 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 and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.

(h) 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 Convertible Securities (see next paragraph 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.

An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible

Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

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.

(i) Timing of issue of Shares and quotation of Shares on exercise

As soon as practicable (and no later than 5 Business Days, subject to applicable law) after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.

(j) Restrictions on dealing with Convertible Securities

A holder 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

page 28

by the Board. A holder must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

However, in special circumstances as defined under the Plan (including in the case of death or total or permanent disability of the Participant) a Participant may deal with Convertible Securities granted to them under the Plan with the consent of the Board.

(k) Listing of Convertible Securities

A Convertible Security granted under the Plan will not be quoted on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. The Board reserves the right in its absolute discretion to apply for quotation of an Option granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised exchange.

(l) Forfeiture of Convertible Securities

Convertible Securities will be forfeited in the following circumstances:

  • (i) where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer employed or their office or engagement is discontinued with the Group), all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant;

  • (ii) where a Participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly, negligently, in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully breaches their duties to the Group;

  • (iii) where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in accordance with the Plan;

  • (iv) on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or

  • (v) on the expiry date.

(m) Change of control

If a change of control event occurs, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the holder’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the holder to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.

(n) Adjustment of Convertible Securities

If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each

Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

page 29

(o) Plan Shares

The Board may, from time to time, make an invitation to an Eligible Participant to acquire Plan Shares under the Plan. The Board will determine in its sole an absolute discretion the acquisition price (if any) for each Plan Share which may be nil. The Plan Shares may be subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions as determined by the Board.

Where Plan Shares granted to a Participant are subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions, the Participant’s Plan 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 the Rules.

(p) Rights attaching to Plan Shares

All Shares issued or transferred under the Plan or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security (Plan Shares) will rank equally in all respects with the Shares of the same class for the time being on issue except for any rights attaching to the Shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of the allotment or transfer of the Plan Shares. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.

(q)

Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares

If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares 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 a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:

  • (i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or

  • (ii) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.

(r)

General Restrictions on Transfer of Plan Shares

The Company will use reasonable endeavours to issue, where required to enable Plan Shares issued on exercise of convertible securities to be freely tradeable on the ASX, a Cleansing Notice under Section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act, if eligible, or a cleansing prospectus under section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act, at the time Plan Shares are issued. Where a Cleansing Notice is required, but cannot be issued, the Company will use its best endeavours to impose an ASX Holding Lock on the Plan Shares or use an employee share trust to hold the Plan Shares during the relevant restriction period to allow the Company to lodge a prospectus in relation to the Plan Shares with ASIC which complies with the requirements of the Corporations Act and allows the Plan Shares to be freely tradeable on the ASX.

Restrictions are imposed by Applicable Law on dealing in Shares by persons who possess material information likely to affect the value of the Shares and which is not generally available. These laws may restrict the acquisition or disposal of Shares by you during the time the holder has such information.

page 30

Any Plan Shares issued to a holder under the Plan (including upon exercise of Convertible Securities) shall be subject to the terms of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy.

(s) Buy-Back

Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy-back Securities in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

(t)

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 Convertible Securities for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of holders upon exercise of Convertible Securities.

(u) Maximum number of Securities

The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which involves monetary consideration if the number of Plan Shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered under an invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of all invitations under the Plan during the 3 year period ending on the day of the invitation, will exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of the invitation (unless the Constitution specifies a different percentage and subject to any limits approved by Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b).

(v)

Amendment of Plan

Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities 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 all Participants.

(w) Plan duration

The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants. If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing

that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.

(x) Income Tax Assessment Act

The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act) except to the extent an invitation provides otherwise.

page 31

(y) Maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(a)), the maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan will not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares on issue on completion of the Offer.

This maximum figure simply represents a ceiling on the number of equity securities that will be issued under the Plan and is not a confirmation of the actual number of equity securities the Company intends to issue under the Plan.

page 32
