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 – LISTING RULE 7.1
1.1 General
In December 2020, the Company completed a placement to sophisticated and professional investors ( Placing Participants ) of 7,125,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( Shares ) at an issue price of $0.02 per Share ( Placing Shares ), comprising:
- (a) 70,000,000 Placing Shares to raise $1,400,000 (issued on 1 December 2020); and
(b) a further 1,250,000 Placing Shares to raise $25,000 (issued on 24 December 2020),
(considered together, the Placing ).
1.2 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 issue of the Placing 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 utilises 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 Placing 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 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 Placing Shares.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placing Shares.
1.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Placing Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Placing Shares.
6
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Placing Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Placing Shares.
1.4 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 1:
-
(a) the Placing Shares were issued to clients of Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (ACN 075 071 466) ( Canaccord ) and Fresh Equities Pty Ltd (ACN 619 657 028) ( Fresh Equities );
-
(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 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) a total of 71,250,000 Placing Shares were issued and the Placing Shares issued were all 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 Placing Shares were issued as follows:
-
(i) 70,000,000 Shares - 1 December 2020; and
-
(ii) 1,250,000 Shares - 24 December 2020;
-
(e) the issue price was $0.02 per Placing Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placing Shares;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Placing Shares was to raise $1,425,000, which will applied towards the following purposes:
-
(i) payment of annual mining and exploration licence payments;
-
(ii) the return of normal business activities that has been temporarily paused through COVID restrictions locally and in Nigeria;
-
(iii) the completion of mandates and scope of works for key selected consultants to progress the defined scoping and feasibility studies; and

2. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF ADVISOR OPTIONS
2.1 General
The background to the Placing is set out above in Section 1.1.
On 9 December 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Canaccord pursuant to which it agreed to engage Canaccord to provide corporate advisory services in connection with the Placing ( Corporate Advisory Mandate ). A summary of the Corporate Advisory Mandate is set out in Schedule 1 to this Notice.
On 1 December 2020, the Company issued 5,000,000 Options to Canaccord in part consideration for corporate advisory services provided to the Company in connection with the Placing ( Advisor Options ).
2.2 Listing Rule 7.1
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.
The issue of the Advisor 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 utilises 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 Advisor 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 Advisor Options.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Advisor Options.
2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Advisor Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Advisor Options.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Advisor Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, 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 Advisor Options.
8
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

-
(c) the Advisor Options were issued on 1 December 2020;

3. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 3 TO 6
3.1 Subscription Agreement
On 23 April 2021, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Diversified Metals Holdings, LLC ( Diversified Metals or the Subscriber ), a US-based institutional investor ( Subscription Agreement ). Under the Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber agreed to invest an aggregate amount of up to A$6,500,000 in the Company, and in return, the Company agreed to issue Shares with an aggregate subscription price of up to A$6,780,000 ( Subscription Placement ). References to Diversified Metals or the Subscriber in this Notice include any designee or nominee of Diversified Metals.
A summary of the material terms of the Subscription Agreement is set out in Schedule 3 to this Notice.
For further details in respect of the Subscriber and the Subscription Agreement, please refer to the announcement (titled “Capital Raising of up to $10.3 million”) released on the Company’s ASX platform on 26 April 2021 (ASX: KFE).
As set out in that announcement, the Subscription Placement comprises:
-
(a) an initial placement (subject to Shareholder approval at the Meeting) of $2,140,000 worth of Shares ( First Subscription Amount ) to raise $2,000,000 (being the Shares to be issued on exercise from time to time, in whole or in part, of the First Placement Subscription Right the subject of Resolution 3) ( First Placement );
-
(b) in addition, the Subscriber has granted Kogi the right to complete a second placement of $2,140,000 worth of Shares to raise $2,000,000, prior to the first anniversary of the First Placement ( Second Placement ); and
9
- (c) finally, subject to mutual consent of the Company and the Subscriber, an additional $2.5 million of Shares may be placed by Kogi to the Subscriber to raise $2.5 million ( Third Placement ).
The First Placement, Second Placement and Third Placement are together referred to herein as the Subscription Placement. The Company is not seeking Shareholder approval of the Second Placement or the Third Placement at the Meeting.
In connection with the Subscription Placement, at the Meeting, the Company is seeking approval for:
-
(a) the grant to the Subscriber of the right to issue Shares in relation to the First Placement (the Placement Shares ), under Resolution 3 of this Notice (refer to Section 4 for further details) (the First Placement Subscription Right );
-
(b) $159,000 worth of Shares in consideration for the commencement of the Subscription Placement ( Commencement Fee Shares ), under Resolution 4 of this Notice (refer to Section 5 for further details);
-
(c) 14,800,000 Options, exercisable at 140% of the 20-day VWAP prior to their issue date, on or before the date that is 3 years following their issue date ( Subscriber Options ) (refer to Section 6 for further details); and
-
(d) 9,800,000 Shares at the occurrence of the First Placement ( Initial Placement Shares ). Under the Subscription Agreement, the Initial Placement Shares will either, at the Subscriber’s election:
-
(i) be applied towards some or all of the aggregate number of Placement Shares to be issued under the Subscription Placement; or
-
(ii) alternatively, not be applied towards the aggregate number of Placement Shares to be issued under the Subscription Placement, and instead the Subscriber will make an additional payment to the Company. As set out in Schedule 3, if the Subscriber elects to make such a payment, the amount payable will be equal to the number of Initial Placement Shares not so applied multiplied by the Purchase Price determined at the time the payment is made.
The First Placement Subscription Right constitutes an ‘equity security’ under the Listing Rules (as it constitutes the right to unissued Shares) and a ‘convertible security’ under the Listing Rules (as it is convertible to Shares in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF FIRST PLACEMENT SUBSCRIPTION RIGHT
4.1 General
The background to the Subscription Placement is set out above in Section 3.1.
As summarised in Section 1.2 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.
10
The proposed grant of the First Placement Subscription Right falls (and, upon exercise of that right by the Subscriber, the subsequent issue of the Placement Shares falls) within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1. As set out in Section 3.1, the First Placement Subscription Right constitutes both an ‘equity security’ and a ‘convertible security’ under the Listing Rules.
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with granting the Subscriber the First Placement Subscription Right. In addition, upon exercise of that right by the Subscriber, the issue of the Placement Shares 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 grant of the First Placement Subscription Right to the Subscriber, together with the issue of the Placement Shares on exercise of the First Placement Subscription Right, will not proceed; accordingly, the Company will not be able to proceed with the First Placement (and receive the additional $2,000,000 of funding).
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Placement Shares.
4.3 Indicative Share Calculation
As set out in the Company’s announcement released on 26 April 2021, the number of Placement Shares to be issued on exercise of the First Placement Subscription Right will be determined by applying the Purchase Price at the time of the exercise to all or part of the First Subscription Amount, subject to the Floor Price (refer to Schedule 3 for the meaning of Purchase Price and Floor Price). The Purchase Price will be equal to $0.034 initially (being the Initial Purchase Price as defined in Schedule 3), representing a premium of approximately 48% to the closing price of Shares on 23 April 2021, and thereafter will determined as set out in Schedule 3. The Floor Price (refer definitions) is $0.01.
The Purchase Price will be determined as follows:
-
(a) if the Shares are issued at any time prior to 26 August 2021, the Purchase Price will be $0.034, representing a premium of approximately 48% to the closing price of the Company’s shares on 23 April 2021; or
-
(b) if the Shares are issued at any time after 26 August 2021, the Purchase Price will reset to the average of the 5 daily VWAP selected by the Subscriber during the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Subscriber’s notice to issue shares, less an 8% discount (or a 10% discount if the Placement Shares are issued after 26 April 2022) (rounded down to the next one tenth of a cent, or if the share price exceeds $0.10, the next half a cent).
Set out below is a worked example of the number of Placement Shares that may be issued on exercise of the First Placement Subscription Right, using five example average of 5 daily VWAPs (at intervals of $0.011) and the resulting Purchase Price, and assuming the Investor elects to exercise the First Placement Subscription Right in full and the subscription occurs after 26 August 2021 (such that the Purchase Price of $0.034 is not applicable) and before 26 April 2022 (such that an 8% discount applies to the average of the 5 daily VWAPs).
11
| Example average of 5 daily VWAPs |
Relevant Purchase Price (average of the 5 daily VWAPs less 8% discount) |
Number of Shares issued on exercise of the First Placement Subscription Right (based on the relevant Purchase Price) |
|---|---|---|
| $0.011 | $0.010 (equal to the Floor Price) |
214,000,000 |
| $0.022 | $0.02 | 107,000,000 |
| $0.033 | $0.03 | 71,333,333 |
| $0.044 | $0.04 | 53,500,000 |
| $0.055 | $0.05 | 42,800,000 |
Note: The closing price on 6 May 2021 for the Company’s shares (being the last practicable date prior to preparation of this Notice) was $0.017.
Where the Purchase Price is less than the Floor Price, the Company may refuse to issue Shares and instead opt to repay the relevant subscription price (being $2,140,000 or the relevant portion thereof) in cash (with a 5% premium) (being a total of $2,247,000 or the corresponding portion thereof); however, this is subject to the Subscriber’s right to receive Shares at the Floor Price in lieu of such cash repayment.
The above payments must be made no later than the first business day following the date on which that notice was provided to the Company.
The Company notes that the above workings are an example only and the actual number of Placement Shares to be issued on exercise of the First Placement Subscription Right may differ. This will result in the maximum number of Placement Shares to be issued and the dilution percentage to also differ.
4.4 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 3:
-
(a) the First Placement Subscription Right (being the right to acquire the Placement Shares and which itself will constitute the issue an ‘equity security’ and a ‘convertible security’ within the meanings of such terms in the Listing Rules) will be granted to Diversified Metals, and the Placement Shares issuable on exercise of that First Placement Subscription Right will be issued to Diversified Metals;
-
(b) the maximum number of Placement Shares to be issued upon exercise of the First Placement Subscription Right is unknown as at the date of this Notice. However, please refer above to Section 4.3 for a hypothetical worked example of the potential number of Placement Shares to be issued, using an assumed low, mid and high-range Purchase Price. The Purchase Price will be determined as set out in Schedule 3. The Placement Shares issued on exercise of the First Placement Subscription Right 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;
-
(c) the First Placement Subscription Right will be granted to the Subscriber 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). Under the Subscription Agreement, issues of Placement Shares
12
must occur within 24 months of the prepayment related to First Placement;
-
(d) the issue price of the Placement Subscription Right is $2,140,000. The issue price or prices of the Placement Shares to be issued on exercise of the First Placement Subscription Right are unknown as at the date of this Notice. This number will be calculated as set out in the summary of the Subscription Agreement in Schedule 3, as consideration for investments made by Diversified Metals under the Subscription Agreement;
-
(e) the purpose of the grant of the First Placement Subscription Right (and the subsequent issue of the Placement Shares) is to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Subscription Agreement;
-
(f) the grant of the First Placement Subscription Right and the subsequent issue of the Placement Shares in relation thereto are being granted/issued to Diversified Metals under the Subscription Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Subscription Agreement is set out in Schedule 3; and
-
(g) the grant of the First Placement Subscription Right is not being granted under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.
5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE COMMENCEMENT FEE SHARES
5.1 General
The background to the Subscription Placement is set out above in Section 3.1.
Under the Subscription Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay a fee of $159,000 to the Subscriber ( Commencement Fee ) in part consideration for the investment by way of the Subscription Placement in the Company, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval. The Commencement Fee is payable in Shares. The issue of the Commencement Fee Shares to the Subscriber is a condition precedent to the First Placement.
Accordingly, under Resolution 4, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of up to that amount of Shares worth $159,000 ( Commencement Fee Shares ) to enable the Company to settle the Commencement Fee by way of the issue of Shares to the Subscriber.
As summarised in Section 1.2 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.
5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Commencement Fee Shares. In addition, the issue of the Commencement Fee Shares 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. This will mean that the Company will pay the Commencement Fee entirely in Shares and not cash.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the issue of the Commencement Fee Shares will not proceed; accordingly, the Company will not be able to proceed with the First Placement (and will not receive the additional $2,000,000 of funding). The
13
Company will, however, pay $48,000 in cash regardless of whether Resolution 4 is passed or not.
5.3 Indicative Share Calculation
These shares will be issued, at the Reset Purchase Price (calculated as at the date of issue). Set out below is a worked example of the number of Commencement Fee Shares that may be issued to satisfy the Commencement Fee, using an assumed low, mid, and high-range Purchase Price.
| Example average of 5 daily VWAPs |
Reset Purchase Price | Number of Commencement Fee Shares issued |
|---|---|---|
| $0.011 | $0.01 (equal to the Floor Price) | 15,900,000 |
| $0.022 | $0.02 | 7,950,000 |
| $0.033 | $0.03 | 5,300,000 |
| $0.044 | $0.04 | 3,975,000 |
| $0.055 | $0.05 | 3,180,000 |
Note: The closing price on 6 May 2021 for the Company’s shares (being the last practicable date prior to preparation of this Notice) was $0.017.
5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1
-
(a) Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:the Commencement Fee Shares will be issued to Diversified Metals;

As noted in Section 3.1(d) and Schedule 3, some or all of the Initial Placement Shares may be applied towards the aggregate number of Placement Shares to be issued under the Subscription Placement or, as described in Section 7.2, an additional payment may be made equal to the value of the number of all or part of those Initial Placement Shares.

SCHEDULE 3 – SUMMARY OF SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
A summary of the material terms of the Subscription Agreement is set out below.
Placement Shares
Kogi will issue Shares ( Placement Shares ) in relation to all or part of the Subscription Placement made by the Subscriber, at the Subscriber’s request, within 24 months of the date of the corresponding prepayment. The number of shares so issued by the Company will be determined by applying the Purchase Price (as set out below) to the subscription price prepaid by the Subscriber, but subject to the Floor Price (as set out below). The Purchase Price will be equal to $0.034 initially, representing a premium of approximately 48% to the closing price of the Company’s shares on 23 April 2021 (if the Placement Shares are issued prior to 26 August 2021) ( Initial Purchase Price ).
Pricing
Subject to the Floor Price described below, from 26 August 2021, the Purchase Price will reset to the average of the five-daily volume-weighted average prices selected by the Subscriber during the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Subscriber’s notice to issue shares, less an 8% discount (or a 10% discount if the Placement Shares are issued after 26 April 2022) (rounded down to the next one tenth of a cent, or if the share price exceeds $0.10, the next half a cent) (the Reset Purchase Price ). Note that the meaning of Reset Purchase Price differs slightly in the context of the Commencement Fee Shares. The Purchase Price will, nevertheless, be the subject of the Floor Price of $0.01. If the Purchase Price formula results in a price that is less than the Floor Price, the Company may refuse to issue shares and instead opt to repay the relevant subscription price in cash (with a 5% premium), subject to the Subscriber’s right to receive Shares at the Floor Price in lieu of such cash repayment. The Purchase Price will not be the subject of a cap (thereby ameliorating a potential dilutive effect of a capital raising at today’s share price level).
Initial Placement Shares
The Company will make an initial issuance of 9.8 million Shares to the Subscriber at the time of the funding of First Placement (subject to obtaining shareholder approval of Resolution 6), towards the ultimate number of Placement Shares to be issued. Alternatively, in lieu of applying these shares towards the aggregate number of the Placement Shares to be issued by the Company, the Subscriber may make a further payment to the Company equal to the value of these shares determined using the Purchase Price at the time of the payment.
Refusal to issue Shares
The Company will have the right (but no obligation) to refuse an issuance of shares in relation to the Subscriber’s request for issuance and instead to repay the subscription amount by making a payment to the Subscriber equal to the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued multiplied the Purchase Price or, if greater, the market value of the Placement Shares at that time.
Second Placement
Neither the Subscriber nor Kogi has any obligation in relation to the Second Placement unless, during the six months following the date of this announcement, Kogi exercises its option to put the Second Placement to the Subscriber. In order to exercise this option, Kogi must have sufficient placement capacity to conduct the Second Placement at the time of exercising that option, obligating the Subscriber to provide the funding, prior to the first anniversary of the First Placement. Kogi will determine whether to exercise the option prior
25
to the deadline for its exercise, based on its capital requirements, the macroeconomic conditions, its share price, and its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The proceeds from the Second Placement will not exceed 15% of the Company’s market capitalisation, without the Subscriber’s consent.
The Subscriber will not be obligated to provide the Second Placement, and/or may reduce the size of the Second Placement, if the market price of the Company’s shares is below $0.009 and does not recover to above that level within two months after the Subscriber providing the Company with notice thereof. In addition, the Company and the Subscriber will each have the right to postpone the Second Placement by up to two months.
Third Placement
Finally, subject to mutual consent of the Company and the Subscriber, an additional $2.5 million of Shares may be placed by Kogi to the Subscriber to raise $2.5 million.
Commencement Fee Shares
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining shareholder approval, concurrent with the funding of First Placement, to pay a fee of $159,900 to the Subscriber by way of the issue of shares. These shares will be issued at the Reset Purchase Price (refer above for defined term) as at the time of their issue. $48,000 of the $149,000 will be paid by the Company to the Subscriber regardless of whether shareholder approval is obtained (in cash, in the absence of shareholder approval). Therefore, the potential scenarios are:
-
(a) if Shareholder approval is obtained for the Commencement Fee Shares (i.e. Shareholder approval is obtained for Resolution 4), the Company will issue $159,900 worth of Shares to the Subscriber; or
-
(b) if Shareholder approval is not obtained for the Commencement Fee Shares (i.e. Shareholder approval is not obtained for Resolution 4), the Company will pay $48,000 in cash to the Subscriber, however, will not issue the Commencement Fee Shares.
Subscriber Options
The Company has also agreed to grant 14.8 million unlisted options to the Subscriber exercisable during the 36 months following their issue date at 140% of the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of the shares during the 20 trading days prior to their issue date.
The Subscription Agreement contains terms and conditions considered standard for an agreement of this nature.
26

In the event of a consolidation, subdivision or similar reconstruction of the issued capital of the Company, the rights of an Option holder will be changed to comply with the Listing Rules (currently Listing Rule 7.22) applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
(g) Cumulative adjustments
Full effect must be given to the provisions of clauses (d) to (f) of this Schedule 4, as and when occasions for their application arise and in such manner that the effects of the successive applications of them are cumulative, the intention being that
27

(h) Notice of adjustments
Whenever the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable, or the Option Exercise Price, is adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, the Company must give written notice of the adjustment to all the Option holders, within one Business Day.

(j) Assignability and transferability
The Options are freely assignable and transferable, subject to the provisions of Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act and all applicable other Laws.
(k) Applicable provisions of this Agreement incorporated in terms of Options
Without limiting the generality or the applicability of any of the terms of this Agreement to the Options and all Shares issued or issuable on their exercise, the parties acknowledge that, for clarity, the provisions of clauses 5.1 to 5.8 and 5.11 to 5.12 of the Subscription Agreement constitute part of the terms of the Options.
