The background to the Placement, including the proposed issue of Director Placement Shares is set out in Section 3.2 above.
Each of the current Directors, being Simon Andrew, Vikram Kumar and Matthew Freedman,
Page 15
and former Director Felicity Repacholi, wish to participate in the Placement to the extent and in the proportions set out below:
| Director | Amount committed to the Placement ($) |
Director Placement Shares |
|---|---|---|
| Simon Andrew | $15,000 | 1,000,000 |
| Vikram Kumar | $45,000 | 3,000,000 |
| Matthew Freedman | $20,000 | 1,333,333 |
| Felicity Repacholi(1) | $10,000 | 666,667 |
Note:
- Ms Repacholi ceased to be a Director of the Company on 2 February 2026.
Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Director Placement Shares in the proportions set out above.
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 any of the following persons without the approval of Shareholders:
-
(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 relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 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).
The current Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being directors of the Company. The former Director, Felicity Repacholi, is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a director of the Company within the past 6 months.
Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of these Director Placement Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominee/s) will not be included in the Company’s 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
Page 16
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Shares, raising approximately $90,000 (before costs) under the Placement.
If Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Placement Shares for which approval was not obtained and instead, the amount committed by the relevant Director will be raised by the issue of the relevant number of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Tranche 2 Placement Participants (subject to the passing of Resolution 3).
7.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares:
-
(a) The Director Placement Shares will be issued to the current and former Directors (or their respective nominees), in the proportions set out in Section 7.2.
-
(b) The current and former Directors, fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1. In the event the Director Placement Shares are issued to a nominee of the current or former Directors, that nominee will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4.
-
(c) A maximum of 6,000,000 Director Placement Shares will be issued to the current and former Directors (or their respective nominees), in the proportions set out in Section 7.2.
-

-
(g) A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Placement is set out in Section 3.2 above.
-
(h) The proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares is not intended to remunerate or incentivise the current or former Directors.
-
(i) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares.
-
(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 sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act;
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
Page 17
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Shares because the Director Placement Shares will be issued on the same terms as those Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
7.5 Additional information
Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) are each separate ordinary resolutions.
The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) due to each of the Directors’ personal interests in the outcome of the Resolutions.

8.4 Section 195 of the Corporations Act
Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of directors from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may deal with the matter.
The Recipient Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of each of their respective Resolutions under Resolution 5(a) to (c) (inclusive) and have exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the Incentive Options to Shareholders to resolve.

The proposed issue of the Incentive Options constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company. Notwithstanding that the issue of the Incentive Options is considered by the Board as reasonable remuneration and therefore falls within the exception stipulated by section 211 of the Corporations Act, the Board has resolved to seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in respect of the issue of the Incentive Options to avoid any conflict of interest given the personal interests of the Directors in the outcome of these Resolutions.

Page 21
the Company’s existing Shares. The Company will apply for official quotation of the Shares on ASX.
(c)
Board recommendations
Given the personal interests of the Recipient Directors in the outcome of Resolution 5(a) to (c) (inclusive), the Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to these Resolutions.

-
(ii) the Class B Incentive Options at $0.0140 each; and
-
(iii) the Class C Incentive Options at $0.0126 each.
Refer to Schedule 3 for further information regarding the valuation. A summary of the valuation is below:
| Recipient Director | Number | of Incentive Options | of Incentive Options | Valuation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class A | Class B | Class C | ||
| Simon Andrew | 2,000,000 | 2,000,000 | 2,000,000 | $84,600 |
| Vikram Kumar | 2,000,000 | 2,000,000 | 2,000,000 | $84,600 |

(e) Remuneration of the Directors
Refer to Section 8.3(h) above.
(f)
Existing relevant interest of Directors
At the date of this Notice, the Recipient Directors hold the following relevant interest in Equity Securities of the Company:
| Recipient Director | Shares | Options | Performance Rights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simon Andrew | 7,500,000 | 12,500,000 | - |
| Vikram Kumar | 7,000,000 | 2,500,000 | - |
| Matthew Freedman | 5,200,000 | - | 2,500,000 |
Page 22
Assuming that Resolution 5(a) to (c) (inclusive) are approved by Shareholders, all the Incentive Options are issued and exercised into Shares, and no other Equity Securities are issued, exercised or converted (including any existing Options held by the Recipient Directors as at the date of this Notice), the interests of each of the Recipient Directors in the Company would (based on the Share capital as at the date of this Notice, expanded for the issue of Shares upon exercise of the Incentive Options) be as follows:
| Recipient Director | Interest in the Share capital of the Company |
|---|---|
| Simon Andrew | 3.78% |
| Vikram Kumar | 3.64% |
| Matthew Freedman | 3.14% |
The Directors’ actual interests in the Company at the date the Incentive Options are exercised into Shares will depend on the extent that additional Shares are issued by the Company.
(g) Dilution
The issue of the Incentive Options will have a diluting effect on the percentage interest of existing Shareholders' holdings if the Incentive Options are converted to Shares. The potential dilution if all of the Incentive Options are exercised into Shares is 5.04%. This figure assumes the current Share capital structure as at the date of this Notice and that no Shares are issued other than the Shares issued on conversion of the Incentive Options.
The exercise of all of the Incentive Options will result in a total dilution of all other Shareholders' holdings of 4.66% on a fully diluted basis (assuming that all other convertible Securities are exercised and converted to Shares). The actual dilution will depend on the extent that additional Shares are issued by the Company.
(h) Trading History
The highest and lowest closing market sale prices of the Shares on ASX during the 12 months prior to the date of this Notice were:
Highest : $0.04 per Share on 29 January 2026
Lowest : $0.01 per Share on 9 April 2025
The latest available closing market sale price of the Shares on ASX prior to the date of this Notice was $0.027 per Share on 24 February 2026.
(i)
Taxation consequences
The Company is not aware of any taxation consequences for the Company arising from the issue of the Incentive Options (including fringe benefits tax).
(j)
Corporate governance
Matthew Freedman is an Executive Director of the Company and therefore the Board (other than Mr Freedman) believe that the grant of those Incentive Options to Mr Freedman is in line with Recommendation 8.2 of the 4th Edition of the ASX Corporate
Page 23
Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ( Recommendations ).
The Board notes that the grant of those Incentive Options to Simon Andrew and Vikram Kumar, who are each Non-Executive Directors, is in line with Recommendation 8.2 of the Recommendations and that the grant does not affect the independence of the Messrs Andrew and Kumar as there are no performance-based milestones attaching to those Incentive Options.
(k) Other information
The Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 5(a) to (c) (inclusive).
8.7 Additional information

The Directors believe these amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders.
A copy of the modified Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the office of the Company. A copy of the modified Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

10.2 Summary of material proposed changes
Page 25
(a) Issue cap for offers involving monetary consideration under an employee incentive scheme
The proposed amendment provides the ability for the Company to increase the 5% issue cap under the Corporations Act in respect of offers for monetary consideration under the Plan to 10%. Set out below is the proposed modification to the existing Constitution.
- (i) Insert as a new definition in Clause 1.1:
ESS Interests has the meaning under section 1100M(1) of the Corporations Act.

2.16 Issue cap for offers involving monetary consideration under an employee incentive scheme

-
(a) the total number of Shares that are, or are covered by, the ESS Interests of the Company that may be issued under the offer; and
-
(b) the total number of Shares that are, or are covered by, the ESS Interests that have been issued, or could have been issued, under offers made under the Company’s employee share scheme at any time during the 3 year period ending on the day the offer is made,
does not exceed 10% of the number of Shares actually on issue as at the start of the day the offer is made.
10.3 Additional information
Resolution 7 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
11. Resolution 8 – Approval of Employee Securities Incentive Plan
11.1 General
The Company considers that it is desirable to adopt an employee incentive scheme titled “ Mamba Exploration Limited Employee Incentive Plan ” ( New Plan ) pursuant to which the Company can issue Equity Securities to attract, motivate and retain key Directors, employees and consultants and provide them with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company. The Company also intends to issue Securities under the New Plan to employees to satisfy existing salary liabilities to those employees.
Page 26
Under the New Plan, the Board may offer to eligible persons the opportunity to subscribe for such number of Equity Securities in the Company as the Board may decide and on the terms set out in the rules of the New Plan, a summary of the key terms and conditions of which is in Schedule 4. In addition, a copy of the New Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the New Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the New Plan and the issue of up to a maximum of 50,000,000 Equity Securities under the New Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b).
11.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2, Exception 13(b)
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4.2 above.
Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b), provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 such that issues of Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of three years from the date on which Shareholders approve the issue of Equity Securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to issue up to a maximum of 50,000,000 Equity Securities under the New Plan pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b), to eligible participants over a period of three years without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
However, any future issues of Equity Securities under the New Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, any issue of Equity Securities pursuant to the New Plan would need to be made either with Shareholder approval or, in the absence of Shareholder approval, pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
11.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b)
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b), the following information is provided in relation to the New Plan:
-
(a) A summary of the material terms of the New Plan is in Schedule 4.
-
(b) Shareholders approved the Company’s existing incentive plan under Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b) at the 2024 annual general meeting ( Existing Plan ). The following Equity Securities have been issued under the Existing Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b):
| Issue date | Equity Security | Number of Equity Securities |
|---|---|---|
| 27 November 2024 | Options | 2,500,000 |

11.4
Additional information
Resolution 8 is an ordinary resolution.
In the interests of good governance, the Directors (who are all eligible to participate in the New Plan) abstain from making a recommendation on Resolution 8.
12. Resolution 9 – Approval of potential termination benefits under the New Plan
12.1 General
The Corporations Act contains certain limitations concerning the payment of 'termination benefits' to persons who hold a 'managerial or executive office'. The Listing Rules also provides certain limitations on the payment of 'termination benefits' to officers of listed entities.
As is common with employee incentive schemes, the New Plan provides the Board with the discretion to, amongst other things, determine that some or all of the Equity Securities granted to a participant under the New Plan ( Plan Securities ) will not lapse in the event of that participant ceasing their engagement with the Company before such Plan Securities have vested. This 'accelerated vesting' of Plan Securities may constitute a 'termination benefit' prohibited under the Corporations Act, regardless of the value of such benefit, unless Shareholder approval is obtained.
If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to offer ‘termination benefits’ to persons who hold a ‘managerial or executive office’ pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
12.2 Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act
Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with them ceasing to hold a 'managerial or executive office' (as defined in the Corporations Act) if an exemption applies or if the benefit is approved by Shareholders in accordance with section 200E of the Corporations Act.
Subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 8, Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act to approve the giving of benefits under the New Plan to a person by the Company in connection with that person ceasing to be an officer of, or
Page 28
ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in, the Company (or subsidiary of the Company) on the terms and conditions in this Explanatory Memorandum.
As noted above, under the terms of the New Plan and subject to the Listing Rules, the Board possesses the discretion to vary the terms or conditions of the Plan Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the participant in the New Plan, no amendment may be made to the terms of any granted Plan Security which reduces the rights of the participant in respect of that Plan Security, other than an amendment introduced primarily to comply with legislation, to correct any manifest error or mistake or to take into consideration possible adverse tax implications.
As a result of the above discretion, the Board has the power to determine that some or all of a participant's Plan Securities will not lapse in the event of the participant ceasing employment or office before the vesting of their Plan Securities.
The exercise of this discretion by the Board may constitute a 'benefit' for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act. The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval for the exercise of the Board's discretion in respect of any current or future participant in the New Plan who holds:
-
(a) a managerial or executive office in, or is an officer of, the Company (or subsidiary of the Company) at the time of their leaving or at any time in the three years prior to their leaving; and
-
(b) Plan Securities at the time of their leaving.
12.3
Valuation of the termination benefits
Provided Shareholder approval is given, the value of the termination benefits may be disregarded when applying section 200F(2)(b) or section 200G(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (i.e. the approved benefit will not count towards the statutory cap under the legislation).
The value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the New Plan cannot be determined in advance. This is because various matters will or are likely to affect that value. In particular, the value of a particular benefit will depend on factors such as the Company's Share price at the time of vesting and the number of Plan Securities that will vest or otherwise be affected. The following additional factors may also affect the benefit's value:
-
(a) the participant's length of service and the status of the vesting conditions attaching to the relevant Plan Securities at the time the participant's employment or office ceases; and
-
(b) the number of unvested Plan Securities that the participant holds at the time they cease employment or office.
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.19, the Company will ensure that no officer of the Company or any of its child entities will, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the terminations benefits that are or may be payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the Company as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.
Page 29
12.4 Additional information
Resolution 9 is conditional on the passing of Resolution 8.
If Resolution 8 is not approved at the Meeting, Resolution 9 will not be put to the Meeting. Resolution 9 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 9 due to their potential personal interests in the outcome of the Resolution.

Schedule 4 Summary of material terms of New Plan
The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the New Plan:
-
( Eligible Participant ): Eligible Participant means a person that has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the New Plan from time to time and is an “ESS participant” (as that term is defined in Division 1A) in relation to the Company or an associated entity of the Company. This relevantly includes, amongst others:
-
(a) an employee or director of the Company or an individual who provides services to the Company;
-
(b) an employee or director of an associated entity of the Company or an individual who provides services to such an associated entity;
-
(c) a prospective person to whom paragraphs (a) or (b) apply;
-
(d) a person prescribed by the relevant regulations for such purposes; or
-
(e) certain related persons on behalf of the participants described in paragraphs (a) to (d) (inclusive).
-
( Maximum allocation ) The Company must not make an offer of Securities under the New Plan in respect of which monetary consideration is payable (either upfront, or on exercise of convertible securities) where:
-
(a) the total number of Plan Shares (as defined in paragraph 13 below) that may be issued or acquired upon exercise of the convertible securities offered; plus
-
(b) the total number of Plan Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made under the New Plan at any time during the previous 3-year period,
would exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer or such other limit as may be specified by the relevant regulations or the Company’s Constitution from time to time.
The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the New Plan for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13 will be as approved by Shareholders from time to time ( ASX Limit ). This means that, subject to the following paragraph, the Company may issue up to the ASX Limit under the New Plan without seeking Shareholder approval and without reducing its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company will require prior Shareholder approval for the acquisition of equity securities under the New Plan to Directors, their associates and any other person whose relationship with the Company or a Director or a Director’s associate is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by Shareholders.
-
( Purpose ): The purpose of the New 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
Page 38
to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
-
( Plan administration ): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the New Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to compliance with applicable laws and the Listing Rules. 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 New Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. An invitation issued under the New Plan will comply with the disclosure obligations pursuant to Division 1A.
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. A waiting period of at least 14 days will apply to acquisitions of Securities for monetary consideration as required by the provisions of Division 1A.
-
( Grant of Securities ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the successful applicant ( Participant ) the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the New Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
-
( Terms of Convertible Securities ): Each ‘Convertible Security’ represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the New Plan.
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant 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 grant of 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 Convertible Security will lapse.
-
( 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 below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.
At the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, and subject to Board approval, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the
Page 39
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 New Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the New Plan rules.
-
( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, and no later than five (5) business days after exercise, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the New Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
-
( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.
Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the New Plan rules:
-
(a) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and
-
(b) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.
-
( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, 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 Participant’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
-
( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the New Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the New 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.
Page 40
-
( Disposal restrictions on Securities ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares or Convertible Securities 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.
-
( 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 allotment 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.
-
( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
-
( Amendment of Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the New Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the New Plan and determine that any amendments to the New Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the New 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 New Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the New 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.
