E X PL A N A T O R Y S T A T EM E N T
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. BACKGROUND TO THE TRANSACTIONS
1.1 General
As announced on 5 July 2024, the Company entered into three separate binding agreements (together, the Agreements ) with the shareholders of the following entities (together, the Vendors ):
-
(a) Minta Resources Pty Ltd (ACN 649 318 187) ( Minta Resources );
-
(b) African Future Minerals Pty Ltd (ACN 671 904 528) ( African Future Minerals ); and
-
(c) Rafia Mining Pty Ltd (ACN 675 340 753) ( Rafia Mining ),
(together, the Target Entities ), to acquire an 80% interest in each entity (together, the Transactions ).
One of the shareholders of each of the Target Entities (and therefore a Vendor) is Dogbolter Pty Ltd ( Dogbolter ), an entity controlled by now Company Director Mr Phil Gallagher.
The Company confirms that all of the other Vendors are unrelated parties ( Unrelated Vendors ).
Following the acquisition of the Target Entities, the Company holds an 80% interest in each of the following exploration permits in Cameroon:
-
(a) 6 exploration permits under valid application over approximately 2,400 km[2 ] comprising the Kitongo and Lolo Projects and are considered prospective for Uranium, held by African Future Minerals and Rafia Mining ( Lolo Uranium Projects ); and
-
(b) 21 exploration permits over approximately 8,800 km[2 ] comprising the Minta Rutile Project and are considered to be prospective for rutile, zircon, gold and rare earths, held by Minta Resources ( Minta Rutile Project ),
(together, the Projects ).
A full list of the permits comprising the Projects is set out at Schedule 1.
On 16 September 2024, the Company received Shareholder approval for the issue of the Upfront Consideration and the Deferred Consideration Shares (Refer to Section 1.2 below) to the Vendors.
1.2 Material Terms and Conditions
The material terms and conditions of the Transactions are as follows:
- (a) Upfront Consideration
In part consideration for the acquisition of the Projects, on 25 September 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 500,000,000 Shares, being $1,000,000 worth of Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.002 per Share, which was apportioned between the Vendors as follows:
-
(i) 125,000,000 Shares to the Vendors of Minta Resources (including 29,687,503 Shares to Dogbolter);
-
(ii) 200,000,000 Shares to the Vendors of African Future Minerals (including 47,500,002 Shares to Dogbolter); and
-
(iii) 175,000,000 Shares to the Vendors of Rafia Mining (including 41,562,484 Shares to Dogbolter).
6
(b) Deferred Consideration
The Company had previously agreed to issue the Vendors (including Dogbolter) up to:
-
(i) 500,000,000 Shares, being $1,000,000 worth of Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.002 per Share, subject to the Company achieving drill intercepts of over 5m minimum at a grade of 250ppm U3O8 from at least 2 individual drill holes at a Project within 18 months of the date of the Transactions, which will be apportioned between the Vendors as follows:
-
(A) 125,000,000 Shares to the Vendors of Minta Resources;
-
(B) 200,000,000 Shares to the Vendors of African Future Minerals; and
-
(C) 175,000,000 Shares to the Vendors of Rafia Mining,
( Tranche 1 Deferred Consideration Shares ); and
-
(ii) 1,000,000,000 Shares to the Vendors, being $2,000,000 worth of Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.002 per Share, subject to the Company achieving at least 20MIb mineralisation at a grade of at least 250ppm U3O8 within 36 months of the date of the Transactions (each a Milestone and together, the Milestones ), which will be apportioned to the Vendors as follows:
-
(A) 250,000,000 Shares to the Vendors of Minta Resources;
-
(B) 400,000,000 Shares to the Vendors of African Future Minerals; and
-
(C) 350,000,000 Shares to the Vendors of Rafia Mining,
( Tranche 2 Deferred Consideration Shares ),
(together, the Deferred Consideration Shares ).
- (c) Free carried interest
Following completion of the Transactions and until a decision to mine is made on any of the Projects, the Company will free carry the Vendors at 20%.
(d) Net Smelter Return
The Company has agreed to grant the Vendors an aggregate net smelter royalty of 2.5% payable in respect of all metals and minerals produced from the permits.
- (e) Board changes
On 15 October 2024, the Company appointed one representative of the Vendors, Mr Phillip Gallagher, as a director of the Company. Mr Gallagher was subsequently elected by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting held on 20 November 2024.
As is mentioned above, Mr Gallagher controls Dogbolter, a Vendor.
1.3 Proposed amendment to the terms of the Deferred Consideration Shares
Since completion of the Transactions, the Company’s focus has been in progressing the Minta Rutile Project. The Vendors have assisted the Company with these activities, including by providing the Company with assistance with in-country matters.
In order to maintain good ongoing relations with the Vendors, and to incentivise the Vendors to continue to assist with the Company’s work on the Projects (particularly the Minta Rutile Project), the Company wishes to seek shareholder approval to effect the Amendment, which will have the effect of including rutile-related milestones to the issue
7
of the Deferred Consideration Shares (each a Milestone and together the Milestones ) on the following basis:
- (a) the issue of the Tranche 1 Deferred Consideration Shares is subject to the earliest to occur of the Company achieving:
(i) drill intercepts of over 5m minimum at a grade of at least 250ppm U3O8 from at least two individual drill holes at a Project; and
(ii) drilling results of Valuable Heavy Mineral (as that term is defined below) mineralisation of 2% or greater over a minimum 4km strike length,
by no later than 5 January 2026 (being the date that is 18 months from the date of the Transactions); and
(b) the issue of the Tranche 2 Deferred Consideration Shares is subject to the earliest to occur of the Company achieving:
- (i) at least 20Mlb mineralisation at a grade of at least 250ppm U3O8; or
(ii) an inferred resource of at least 100 million tonnes at 1% Valuable Heavy Minerals (as that term is defined below),
by no later than 5 July 2027 (being the date that is 36 months from the date of the Transactions),
(each of the above, an Amendment and together, the Amendments ).
For the purposes of this Section, Valuable Heavy Minerals are naturally occurring, dense minerals that are typically found in sand, sediment, or igneous rocks and have significant economic value due to their rarity, unique properties, or utility, which includes zircon, titanium minerals (including rutile, ilmenite, leucoxene, pseudo rutile and anatase), monazite, xenotime, kyanite, garnet, and gold.
The terms and conditions of the Transactions otherwise remain unchanged.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Resolutions 1 to 4 to make the Amendments. These Resolutions are not seeking Shareholder approval to issue additional Shares to the Vendors, rather the Company is seeking approval to amend the Milestones to the issue of the previously approved Deferred Consideration Shares.
2. RESOLUTIONS 1-3 - APPROVAL TO AMEND THE TERMS OF ISSUE OF THE DEFERRED CONSIDERATION SHARES TO BE ISSUED TO THE UNRELATED VENDORS
2.1 General
As set out above, the Company has agreed to the Amendments to the terms of issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares on the basis illustrated in Section 1.3 above.
The Company has, subject to obtaining shareholder approval in general meeting, agreed to issue the Unrelated Vendors an aggregate of 1,143,750,038 Deferred Consideration Shares to the Unrelated Vendors apportioned as follows:
-
(a) 285,937,492 Deferred Consideration Shares to the Unrelated Vendors of Minta Resources (the subject of Resolution 1);
-
(b) 457,499,998 Deferred Consideration Shares to the Unrelated Vendors of African Future Minerals (the subject of Resolution 2); and
-
(c) 400,312,548 Deferred Consideration Shares to the Unrelated Vendors of Rafia Mining (the subject of Resolution 3).
These Resolutions seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 to, subject to the satisfaction of the Milestones, issue the Deferred Consideration Shares to the Unrelated Vendors.
These Resolutions are not seeking Shareholder approval to issue additional Shares to the Unrelated Vendors, rather the Company is seeking approval to amend the Milestones to the issue of the previously approved Deferred Consideration Shares.
8
2.2 Listing Rule 7.1
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 the Deferred Consideration Shares 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.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. 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 these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares to the Unrelated Vendors and will not be able to meet its consideration obligations under the Agreements, which may result in the Agreements being terminated.
These Resolutions seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares.
2.4 Waiver of Listing Rule 7.3.4
Listing Rule 7.3.4 requires a notice of meeting with a resolution to approve the issue of equity securities to state that the securities will be issued within three months of the date of the shareholder’s meeting. The Company has obtained a waiver from the ASX to the extent necessary to permit the Company to not state in this Notice that the Deferred Consideration Shares will be issued within three months of the date of the Meeting, subject to the following conditions:
-
(a) the Milestones must not be varied;
-
(b) the Tranche 1 Deferred Consideration Shares must be issued within 5 business days of achieving the applicable Milestone, and in any event, no later than 12 January 2026;
-
(c) the Tranche 2 Deferred Consideration Shares must be issued within 5 business days of achieving the applicable Milestone, and in any event, no later than 12 July 2027;
-
(d) the relevant terms and conditions of the Deferred Consideration Shares are fully and clearly set out in the Notice to ASX’s satisfaction;
-
(e) details regarding the dilutionary effect of the Deferred Consideration Shares on the Company’s capital structure, is included in the Notice to ASX’s satisfaction;
-
(f) the Notice contains the full terms and conditions of the waiver to ASX’s satisfaction;
-
(g) the maximum number of Deferred Consideration Shares to be issued to the Unrelated Vendors is capped at 1,143,750,038;
-
(h) if any of the Milestones are achieved, the achievement of that Milestone and the basis on which the Company’s directors determined that the Milestone has been achieved is announced to the market, along with the number of Deferred Consideration Shares issued; and
-
(i) for any annual reporting period during which any of the Deferred Consideration Shares have been issued or any of them remain to be issued, the Company’s annual report sets out the number of Deferred Consideration Shares issued in that annual reporting period, the number of Deferred Consideration Shares that remain to be issued and the basis on which the Deferred Consideration Shares may be issued.

3. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO AMEND THE TERMS OF ISSUE OF THE DEFERRED CONSIDERATION SHARES TO BE ISSUED TO DOGBOLTER PTY LTD
3.1 General
As set out above, the Company has agreed to the Amendments to the terms of issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares on the basis illustrated in Section 1.3 above.
A total of 118,749,989 Tranche 1 Deferred Consideration Shares and 237,499,977 Tranche 2 Deferred Consideration Shares are to be issued to Dogbolter (or its nominee) an entity controlled by Company Director Mr Phil Gallagher, subject to the relevant Milestones being achieved.
Shareholders previously approved the issue of 356,249,962 Deferred Consideration Shares in September 2024 to all Vendors pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Under this Resolution, the Company is now seeking approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares to Dogbolter on the basis that it is now a related party of the Company.
This Resolution is not seeking Shareholder approval to issue additional Shares to Dogbolter, rather the Company is seeking approval to amend the Milestones to the issue of the previously approved Deferred Consideration Shares.
3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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:
10
-
(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 constitutes giving a financial benefit and Phil Gallagher is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Phil Gallagher 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 issue because the Securities will be issued to Dogbolter (an entity that Phil Gallagher controls) (or their nominee(s)) on the same terms as Securities issued to the Unrelated Vendors and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
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 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 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.
3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, and subject to the satisfaction of the relevant Milestones, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares to Dogbolter. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and will not be able to meet its consideration obligations under the Agreements, which may result in the Agreements being terminated.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares.
3.5

“ Lion Rock Minerals Limited ”.
The proposed name has been reserved by the Company with ASIC and if this Resolution is passed, the Company will lodge a copy of the special resolution with ASIC following the Meeting in order to effect the change.

5. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SECURITIES UNDER AN INCENTIVE PLAN
5.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) for the issue of a maximum of 280,732,129 Securities under the employee incentive scheme titled “Employee Incentive Securities Plan” ( Plan )).
The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees, contractors and other persons who provide services to the Company, and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Securities under the Plan will provide these parties with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.
Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.
5.2 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Securities under the Plan to a related party or
13
a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Securities under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of Securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Securities.

6. RESOLUTION 7 – INCREASE IN TOTAL AGGREGATE REMUNERATION FOR NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
6.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of clause 15.7 of the Constitution and Listing Rule 10.17 to increase the total aggregate amount of fees payable to non-executive Directors from $250,000 to $500,000.
Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of directors’ fees payable to all of its non-executive directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities.
Directors’ fees include all fees payable by the entity or any of its child entities to a nonexecutive director for acting as a director of the entity or any of its child entities (including attending and participating in any board committee meetings), superannuation contributions for the benefit of a non-executive director and any fees which a nonexecutive director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits. It does not include reimbursement of genuine out of pocket expenses, genuine “special exertion” fees paid in accordance with an entity’s constitution, or securities issued to a non-executive director under Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 with the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities.
Clauses 15.7 and 15.8 of the Constitution provides that total aggregate remuneration payable to the non-executive Directors will not exceed the sum initially set by the Constitution and subsequently increased by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in a general meeting.
14
6.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to the nonexecutive Directors will increase by $250,000 to $500,000.
If this Resolution is not passed, the maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to nonexecutive Directors will remain at $250,000. This may inhibit the ability of the Company to remunerate, attract and retain appropriately skilled non-executive directors.
6.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.17
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Maximum aggregate amount of director’s fees |
This Resolution seeks to increase the maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to the non- executive Directors by an amount of $250,000 to $500,000. This amount has been determined after reviewing similar companies listed on ASX and the Directors believe that this level of remuneration is in line with corporate remuneration of similar companies. Whilst it is not envisaged that the maximum amount sought will be utilised immediately, the increase to maximum aggregate amount of fees payable may enable the Company to: (a) fairly remunerate both existing and any new non-executive directors joining the Board; (b) remunerate its non-executive Directors appropriately for the expectations placed upon them both by the Company and the regulatory environment in which it operates; and (c) have the ability to attract and retain non- executive directors whose skills and qualifications are appropriate for a company of the size and nature of the Company. |
| Securities issued to non- executive Directors |
In the past 3 years, the Company has issued an aggregate of 101,783,000 Shares to non-executive Directors pursuant to Listing Rules 10.11. These Securities were issued to the following non- executive Directors in lieu of Director fees: (a) 33,033,000 Shares were issued to Robert Boston; (b) 41,250,000 Shares were issued to Mathew O’Hara; and (c) 27,500,000 Shares were issued to Oonagh Malone. |

| Purpose | The purpose of the Plan is to: (a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants; (b) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and (c) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Shares, Options and Performance Rights (Securities). |
| Maximum number of Convertible Securities |
The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which involves monetary consideration if the number of 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 Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b). The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exemption 13(a)), following Shareholder approval, is 280,732,129 Securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities will be issued immediately. |
| Plan administration | The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion (except to the extent that it prevents the Participant relying on the deferred tax concessions under Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax_ Assessment Act 1997(Cth)). The Board may delegate its powers and discretion. |
| Eligibility, invitation and application |
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. |
| 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. |
19
| Rights attaching to Convertible Securities |
AConvertible Securityrepresents a right to acquire one or more Plan Shares in accordance with the Plan (for example, an Option or a Performance Right). Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, the holder: (a) 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; (b) is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a meeting of the shareholders of the Company; (c) is not entitled to receive any dividends declared by the Company; and (d) is not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares (see Adjustment of Convertible Securities section below). |
|---|---|
| Restrictions on dealing with Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities issued under the Plan cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, have a security interest granted over or otherwise dealt with unless in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan (including in the case of death or total or permanent disability of the holder) with the consent of the Board in which case the Convertible Securities may be exercisable on terms determined 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. |
| Vesting of Convertible Securities |
Any vesting conditions applicable to the Convertible Securities 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 security will lapse. |
| Forfeiture of Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities will be forfeited in the following circumstances: (a) in the case of unvested Convertible Securities only, where the holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer employed or their office or engagement is discontinued with the Company and any Associated Bodies Corporate (as defined in the Corporations Act) (theGroup); (b) where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in accordance with the Plan; (c) on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or (d) on the Expiry Date, subject to the discretion of the Board. |
| Listing of Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities 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 Convertible Securities granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. |
| Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise |
To exercise a security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise (Exercise Notice) and, subject to a cashless exercise (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 Securities (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice. |
20
| In the case of Options, subject to the Board’s approval, in lieu of paying the aggregate exercise price specified in the Exercise Notice, the Participant may elect a cashless exercise (Cashless Exercise) whereby the Board will issue to the Participant that number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) calculated in accordance with the following formula: S=O* (MVS-EP) MVS Where: S = number of Shares to be issued on the exercise of the Options. O = number of Options being exercised. MVS = market value of shares, being the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the five trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise. EP = Exercise Price of the Options. For the avoidance of doubt, if the sum of the above calculation is zero or negative, then the holder will not be entitled to use Cashless Exercise. Convertible Securities may not be exercised unless and until that security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules. |
|
|---|---|
| Timing of issue of Shares and quotation of Shares on exercise |
Within five business days after the issue of a valid notice of exercise 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. |
| Restriction periods and restrictions on transfer of Shares on exercise |
If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security 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. Additionally, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the following restrictions: (a) if the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act; (b) all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to restrictions 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; and (c) all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the terms of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy. |
| Rights attaching to Shares on exercise |
All Shares issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities will rank equally in all respects with the then Shares of the Company. |
21
| Change of control | If a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50% of the Company’s issued capital), unvested Convertible Securities will vest unless the Board determines in its discretion otherwise. The Board’s discretion in determining the treatment of any unvested Convertible Securities on a change of control event is limited to vesting or varying any vesting conditions in respect to the Convertible Securities and does not include a discretion to lapse or forfeit unvested Convertible Securities for less than fair value. |
|---|---|
| Participation in entitlements and bonus issues |
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs, Participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues. |
| Adjustment for bonus issue |
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 Participant 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. |
| Reorganisation | 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 ASX Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. |
| Buy-Back | Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy-back Securities in accordance with the terms of the Plan. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
