-
(c) during the Exercise Period;
65624780v1 | Omnibus incentive plan
8
-
(d) for payment of the Exercise Price; and

8.5 Cashless exercise
-
(a) The Board may determine (in its discretion) and specify in an Offer that in exercising the Options, a Participant may elect to pay the Exercise Price by use of a cashless exercise facility. Where a cashless exercise facility is permitted, Options may be exercised by the Participating by either:
-
(i) paying the total Exercise Price of all Options being exercised; or
-
(ii) by use of the cashless exercise facility described below.

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

(d) provided any acquisition of Shares does not breach the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules (if applicable); and
-
(e) subject to any other requirement contained in the Offer.
9.2 Cash Settlement

9.3 Exercise price
