4.8 Listing on ASX

When the Option is exercised, the Company must apply to ASX (and any other stock exchange on which the Shares are quoted) for, and will use its best endeavours to obtain, quotation for the Share to be issued to the Holder on exercise of the Option.

5. ADJUSTMENTS

$5.1$ Rights/entitlements issues

If during the Exercise Period, the Company makes a pro rata offer or invitation to holders of Shares or other securities of the Company or any other entity, the Company must give the Holder notice not less than 9 Business Days before the Record Date to determine entitlements to receive that offer or invitation to enable the Holder to exercise the Option and receive that offer or invitation in respect of the Share issued on exercise of the Option.

$5.2$ New issues

If during the Exercise Period the Company gives holders of Shares the right (pro rata with existing shareholdings) to subscribe for additional securities and the Option is not exercised in time to enable the Holder to obtain the Share issued on exercise of the Option with the right to subscribe for additional securities, the Exercise Price of an Option after the issue of those securities is adjusted in accordance with the formula set out in schedule 1.

$53$ Pro rata bonus issues

If during the Exercise Period the Company makes a pro rata bonus issue to holders of Shares and an Option is not exercised before the Record Date to determine entitlements to that bonus issue, the number of securities to be issued on exercise of the Option is the number of Shares before that bonus issue plus the number of securities which would have been issued to the Holder if the Option had been exercised before that Record Date.

$5.4$ Sub-division or consolidation

If during the Exercise Period the Company subdivides or consolidates its Shares, the Options must be subdivided or consolidated (as the case may be) in the same ratio as the Shares and the Exercise Price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.

$5.5$ Return of capital

If during the Exercise Period the Company makes a return of capital, the number of Options remains the same and the Exercise Price of each Option is reduced by the same amount as the amount returned in relation to each Share

5.6 Cancellation of capital that is lost

If during the Exercise Period the Company makes a cancellation of any paid up share capital that is lost or not represented by available assets, the number of Options and the Exercise Price of each Option is unaltered.

$5.7$ Pro rata cancellation of capital

If during the Exercise Period the Company reduces its issued share capital on a pro rata basis, the number of Options must be reduced in the same ratio as the Shares and the Exercise Price of each Option must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.

5.8 General reorganisation

If during the Exercise Period the Company reorganises its issued share capital in any way not contemplated by this clause 5, the number of Options or the Exercise Price, or both, must be reorganised so that the Holder will not receive a benefit that holders of Shares do not receive.

5.9 Cumulative adjustments

Each adjustment under clauses 5.1 to 5.8 must be made for every unexercised Option every time the relevant clause applies during the Exercise Period.

$510$ Rounding

Until an Option is to be exercised, all calculations adjusting the number of Shares or the Exercise Price must be carried out to include all fractions, but on exercise the number of Shares issued is rounded down to the next lower whole number and the Exercise Price rounded up to the next higher cent.

$511$ Notice of adjustment

The Company must give notice to Holders of any adjustment to the number, description or items of security which are to be issued on exercise of an Option or to the Exercise Price, and must do so in accordance with any applicable Listing Rules.

$5.12$ Listing Rules

An adjustment must not be made under this clause 5 unless it is consistent with the Listing Rules. The Company may amend the terms of any Option, or the rights of any Holder under these terms of grant, to comply with the Listing Rules applying at the time to any reorganisation of capital of the Company.

  • $(f)$ If any provision of these terms of grant of the Options are or become inconsistent with the Trading Rules, these terms of grant of the Options (as the case may be) are taken not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

6.2 Hardship

The Committee may, if it reasonably forms the opinion that the operation of any term of an Option or of this Plan is or may be unfair, harsh or unconscionable for any Holder in the circumstances relating to that Holder, alter, amend or vary that term or its operation by notice in writing to the affected Holder.

6.3 Listing Rules

The Committee must comply with any restrictions or procedural requirements under the Listing Rules for amending the terms of issued options, unless those restrictions or requirements are expressly or impliedly relaxed or waived by the ASX or any of its delegates generally, or in a particular case or class of cases.

SCHEDULE 1

$$
0^1 = 0 - E \frac{[P - (S + D)]}{N + 1}
$$

where:

  • $\theta =$ The new Exercise Price of the Option.
  • $\theta =$ The old Exercise Price of the Option.
  • $E =$ The number of Shares into which an Option is exercisable.
  • $P =$ The average closing price (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises) on the Stock Exchange Automated Trading System provided for the trading of securities on ASX of Shares (weighted by reference to volume) during the 5 trading days before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.
  • $S =$ The subscription price for one security under the renounceable rights or entitlements issue.
  • $D =$ The dividend due but not vet paid on existing Shares (except those to be issued under the renounceable rights issue or entitlements issue).
  • $N =$ Number of Shares with rights or entitlements required to be held to receive a right to one new security.

However, if $0^1$ under this formula is less than the minimum price (as prescribed by the Listing Rules as the minimum price for options), the new Exercise Price of the Option is to be equal to the minimum price.
