The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum (which forms part of the Notice of Meeting) in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions. If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Memorandum or the Notice of Meeting, please contact your stockbroker or other professional adviser.
Terms used in this Notice of Meeting have defined meanings which are explained in the Glossary appearing at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum.
Financial Reports
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.matsa.com.au.
Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions of the Directors and the Company's Auditors in relation to the accounts of the Company at the Annual General Meeting.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
1.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the company.
The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for the financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
1.2
Voting Consequences
Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a
8
remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to a vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to a vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the previous financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
1.3 Previous voting results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%.
Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
1.4 Proxy Restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:
If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member) as your proxy
You must direct the proxy how they are to vote on this Resolution. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.
If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member)
You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you are taken to expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his/her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel . The Chair intends to exercise such proxies in favour of this Resolution.
If you appoint any other person as your proxy
You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – Re-Election of Mr Andrew Chapman as a Director
Clause 11.3 of the Company's Constitution requires that at each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third, must retire from office, provided always that no Director (except the Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.
The Directors to retire at any annual general meeting are those who have been in office longest since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire must (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.
A retiring director under clause 11.4 of the Company’s constitution is eligible for re-election.
The Company currently has three directors and accordingly one must retire.
Mr Chapman, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation at this Meeting. Mr Chapman, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.
The Board appointed Mr Chapman as a Director on 17 December 2009. Mr Chapman is also the Company Secretary of the Company.
Mr Chapman is a chartered accountant with over 20 years’ experience with publicly listed companies where he has held positions as Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer and has experience in the areas of corporate acquisitions, divestments and capital raisings. He has worked for a number of public companies in the mineral resources, oil and gas and technology sectors.
Mr Chapman is an associate member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICAA) and a Fellow of the Financial Services Institute of Australasia (Finsia).
3. RESOLUTIONS 3 TO 5 – Issue of Director Options to Related Parties
3.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue a total of 5,500,000 Options ( Director Options ) to Mr Paul Poli, Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman (or their respective nominee/s) ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.
The issue of Director Options to Mr Andrew Chapman is subject to his re-election as director pursuant to Resolution 2.
3.2 Related Party Transaction
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:
-
(ii) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(iii) 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.
10
The grant of the Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Paul Poli, Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Director Options to the Related Parties.
3.3 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Director Options:
-
(a) the related parties are Messrs Mr Paul Poli, Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;
-
(b) the maximum number of Director Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:
-
(i) 2,750,000 Director Options to Mr Paul Poli;
-
(ii) 750,000 Director Options to Mr Frank Sibbel; and
-
(iii) 750,000 Director Options to Mr Andrew Chapman;
-
(c) the Director Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Director Options will be issued on one date;
-
(d) the Director Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;
-
(e) the terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Annexure A;
-
(f) the value of the Director Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Annexure B;
-
(g) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company are set out below:
out below: |
||
|---|---|---|
| Related Party | Shares | Options |
| Mr Paul Poli | 10,600,000 | 2,750,0001 |
| Mr Frank Sibbel | 268,048 | 1,500,0002 |
| Mr Andrew Chapman | Nil | 1,250,0003 |
-
2,750,000 unlisted Options exercisable at $0.43 each on or before 30 November 2015.
-
1,500,000 Options exercisable at $0.43 each on or before 30 November 2015.
-
1,250,000 Options exercisable at $0.43 each on or before 30 November 2015.
11
- (h) the remuneration and emoluments (excluding share based payments) from the Company to the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed remuneration and emoluments for the current financial year are set out below:
| Related Party | Current Financial Year |
Previous Financial Year |
|---|---|---|
| Mr Paul Poli | $393,785 | $392,927 |
| Mr Frank Sibbel | $90,000 | $90,621 |
| Mr Andrew Chapman | $140,000 | $150,941 |
- (i) if the Director Options granted to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 4,250,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 144,156,779 to 148,406,779 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 2.95%.
The market price for Shares during the term of the Director Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company;
(j) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:
Notice is set out below: |
||
|---|---|---|
| Price | Date | |
| Highest | $0.38 | 2 July 2014 |
| Lowest | $0.18 | 11 February 2014 |
| Last | $0.21 | 13 October 2014 |
-
(k) the Board acknowledges the grant of Director Options to Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman is contrary to Recommendation 8.3 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments (2[nd] Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of Director Options to Mr Frank Sibbel and Mr Andrew Chapman reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set out below:
-
(i) the grant of Options to the Related Parties will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;
-
(ii) the grant of the Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties; and
-
(iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Options upon the terms proposed;
(l) the primary purpose of the grant of the Director Options to the Related Parties is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their respective roles as Directors;
12
- (m) All of the directors were available to make a recommendation. Mr Poli declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (or his nominee(s)) are to be granted Options in the Company should Resolution 3 be passed. Messrs Sibbel and Chapman also decline to make a recommendation about Resolution 3. ASIC Regulatory Guide 76: Related Party Transactions notes at paragraph 76.103 that it is good practice for directors to avoid making a recommendation for resolutions about each other’s remuneration as there may be a conflict of interest. While Mr Sibbel and Mr Chapman do not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 3, given it is proposed that they are also to be issued options under Resolutions 4, and 5 respectively, they have declined to make a recommendation about Resolution 3 in accordance with ASIC guidance.
Mr Sibbel declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (or his nominee(s)) are to be granted Options in the Company should Resolution 4 be passed. Messrs Poli and Chapman also decline to make a recommendation about Resolution 4. While Messrs Poli and Chapman do not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4, given it is proposed that they are also to be issued options under Resolutions 3 and 5 respectively, they have declined to make a recommendation about Resolution 4 in accordance with ASIC guidance outline above.
Mr Chapman declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (or his nominee(s)) are to be granted Options in the Company should Resolution 5 be passed. Messrs Poli and Sibbel also decline to make a recommendation about Resolution 5. While Messrs Poli and Sibbel do not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 5, given it is proposed that they are also to be issued options under Resolutions 3 and 4 respectively, they have declined to make a recommendation about Resolution 5 in accordance with ASIC guidance outline above.
-
(n) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each other Related Party, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Director Options to be granted as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Director Options; and
-
(o) 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 Resolutions 3 to 5.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Director Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Director Options to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
4. RESOLUTION 6 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
4.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables an Eligible Entity to seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued capital though placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting (“10% Placement Facility”). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
13
An Eligible Entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $31,714,491 (based on the closing price of Shares on 8 October 2014).
The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A2 (refer to Section 4.2(c) below).
The Company intends to use the funds raised under the 10% Placement Facility towards further exploration of the Company’s various projects including Symons Hill, Killaloe and other exploration projects and/or for general working capital. In addition, the Company may, in future, choose to evaluate new project opportunities or investments and may use the funds raised for the acquisition (including expenses associated with such acquisition).
The Directors believe that Resolution 6 is in the best interest of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
4.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 6 for it to be passed.
(b) Equity Security
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has one class of Equity Security, being Shares (ASX Code MAT).
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(a) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(c) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
(d) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
14
Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
D is 10%.
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 4.2(c) above).
(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in the relevant class of shares were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(f) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking) (“10% Placement Period”).
4.3 Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 6 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).
4.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
15
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP of the Company’s Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in the relevant class of shares were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company may be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a new asset;
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable ‘A’ calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice. This also assumes the Company has its full capacity available under Listing Rule 7.1A and Resolutions 3 to 5, inclusive, are passed at the Annual General Meeting. The formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) is outlined in Section 7.2(c) above.
The table also shows:
-
(i) Two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable ‘A’ is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(ii) Two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) There are currently 144,156,779 Shares on issue, being the number of Shares on issue on 8 October 2014.
-
(ii) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(iii) No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of Equity Securities.
-
(iv) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
(v) The table does not show an example of dilution that may occur to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
-
(vi) The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(vii) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
(viii) The issue price is $0.22, being the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 8 October 2014.
-
(c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolutions 6 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
-
(i) Non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new projects, assets and investments in line with the Company’s existing nature of operations. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
(ii) Cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards exploration and evaluations activities at the Company’s existing projects, including Symons Hill, Killaloe and other exploration projects (including, but not limited to, additional drilling, soil sampling and ground EM
17
work) and/or for general working capital. In addition, the Company may, in the future, choose to evaluate new project opportunities or investments and will use the funds raised for the acquisition (including expenses associated with such acquisition).
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
-
(e) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisors (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company. Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new projects, assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility may include vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.
-
(f) The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
(g) When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will give to ASX:
-
(i) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
-
(ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.
-
(h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Annual General Meeting. At the date of the Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class or existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in this Notice.

ANNEXURE B
VALUATION OF DIRECTOR OPTIONS

In determining the value of the options the Company has made the following assumptions set out below:
below: |
|
|---|---|
| Assumptions: | |
| Valuation date | 8 October 2014 |
| Market price of Shares | $0.22 |

| Risk free interest rate | 2.69% |
| Volatility (discount) | 87.7% |
| Indicative value per Related Party Incentive Options |
$0.1100 |

| Total Value of Related Party Incentive Options |
|
|---|---|
| - Mr Paul Poli |
$302,500 |
| - Mr Frank Sibbel |
$82,500 |
| - Mr Andrew Chapman |
$82,500 |
