GOVERNING DOCUMENT FOR THE SHORT AND LONG-TERM INCENTIVE REMUNERATION PLAN FOR THE MAGONTEC GLOBAL MANAGEMENT GROUP – 2020 Shareholder Approved Plan (Per 2021 EGM 6 August 2021)

  • n. Details of any Performance Rights issued under the LTI 2020 Shareholder Approved Plan will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to a period in which the Performance Rights have been issued, and approval for the issue of the Performance Rights to persons described in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 under the LTI 2020 Shareholder Approved Plan was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

  • o. Vesting of Performance Rights as Magontec Ordinary Shares at the End of the Performance Period

  • Subject to paragraph ii q ii, an Eligible Participant’s Performance Rights may convert to Magontec ordinary shares at the end of the Performance Period, dependent upon evaluation against a two-tier performance measure as follows –

    • i. Tier 1 – Key Performance Indicators (Performance at the Eligible Executive’s Individual Level) :

      1. The Eligible Participant’s performance is rated against multiple KPIs prescribed for that individual by the Board.

      2. The KPI’s will tend to emphasise objective measures.

      3. The Eligible Participant’s performance on each KPI is scored according to a scale – “below target”, “at target” and “above target”.

      4. The Eligible Participant’s aggregate score on the KPIs is calculated (but cannot exceed 100%). 5. The aggregate score is multiplied by 30% with the resultant percentage being that proportion of Performance Rights that (subject to paragraph ii q ii) may convert to Magontec ordinary shares.

      5. In algebraic form. the entitlement can be expressed as – OS[1] = PR * KPI * 30%

Where:

  - OS[1] = Number of Magontec Limited ordinary shares into which Performance Rights convert in relation to the Tier 1 Standard

  - PR = Number of Performance Rights in paragraph ii.k. KPI = The aggregate score achieved by the Eligible Participant for the KPI Standard (at 3,ii,o,i. 4).

  - 30% = the ascribed weighting of the KPI measure in the LTI.
  • ii. Tier 2 – Share Price Performance (Performance at the Group Level) : 1. Share price performance targets are set at the commencement of each 3-year Performance Period.

  • The share price targets will be approved by the Board and set at four levels –

Share Price Target Proportion of Performance
Level Description Rights Converting to Shares
1 BelowThreshold 0%
2 Threshold 25% to 49%
3 Target 50% to 99%
4 Stretch 100%
  1. Performance Rights held by the Eligible Participant may (subject to paragraph ii p ii) convert to Magontec ordinary shares depending upon where the share price at the end of the Performance Period fits in relation to the Target Levels.

  2. In calculating the number of Magontec ordinary shares into which the Performance Rights will convert, the prima facie entitlement will be increased by the effect of dilution arising from new Magontec ordinary shares being issued on and from the commencement date and to and including the end date of the relevant Performance Period with resultant grossed up entitlement then reduced by any share entitlement due under the Tier 1 Standard so that an entitlement to Magontec ordinary shares under the Tier 2 Standard is only at the margin (ie the extent to which an entitlement under the Tier 2 Standard exceeds any entitlement due under the Tier 1 Standard).

  3. An entitlement to Magontec ordinary shares under the Tier 2 Standard is only at the margin ie the extent to which an entitlement under the Tier 2 Standard exceeds any entitlement due under the Tier 1 Standard.

  4. In algebraic form. the entitlement can be expressed as – OS[2] = PR * [OS[3] / OS[4] ] * P – OS[1]

Where:

  • OS[2] = To the extent OS[2] is positive, the number of Magontec Limited ordinary shares into which Performance Rights convert.

PR = Number of Performance Rights in paragraph ii.k.

  • OS[3] = Aggregate number of Magontec Limited ordinary shares on issue at the end date of the relevant 3-year LTI performance period

  • OS[4] = Aggregate number of Magontec Limited ordinary shares on issue at commencement of the relevant 3-year LTI performance period

P = the relevant percentage applied as a result of the share price performance at the end of the Performance Period per the scale at the second dot point at paragraph ii o ii

  • p. Vesting of Performance Rights Upon Takeover Offer

If, at the date of a takeover offer (described at paragraph ii.d.ii.) the Performance Rights have not lapsed or vested, then the number of Performance Rights held by an Eligible Participant at the date of the takeover offer will vest for nil consideration as Magontec ordinary shares (subject to the requirements of paragraph q) to the extent determined by the formula below –

OS[5] = PR * [OS[3] / OS[4] ]

Where:

OS[5] = The number of Magontec Limited ordinary shares into which Performance Rights convert.

PR = Number of Performance Rights in paragraph ii.k. held by the Eligible Participant OS[3] = Aggregate number of Magontec Limited ordinary shares on issue at the date of the takeover offer

OS[4] = Aggregate number of Magontec Limited ordinary shares on issue at commencement of the relevant 3-year LTI performance period

  • q.

General

  • i. Where the number of Magontec ordinary shares calculated as per the formulae in paragraphs o. and p. is not a whole number, the number will be rounded down to the next whole number.

  • ii. Any entitlement to Magontec ordinary shares in terms of paragraph ii o ii, may be taken by the Eligible Executive in the form of cash;

  • at a 40% discount to the value that would have otherwise been paid in shares; and

  • upon the approval of the Board

  • iii. Any entitlement to Magontec ordinary shares arising as a result of satisfaction of the performance standards at ii o, is subject to the discretionary approval of the Board and only accrues to the Eligible Executive after an appropriate confirmation from the Company has been received by the Eligible Executive.

  • iv. The Magontec ordinary shares to be issued in terms of the formulae in paragraphs o. and p. will be issued at the 10-day VWAP on the date of issue of the ordinary shares.

  • v. The LTI Amount is equal to the number of Magontec ordinary shares as per the formulae in paragraphs o. and p. multiplied by the 10-day VWAP on the date of issue of the ordinary shares.
