The Company’s Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2024 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2026 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(a) The issue price is the current market price ($0.135), being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 14 April 2025, being the latest practicable date before this Notice was signed.
-
(b) Variable A comprises of 124,129,678 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Meeting, assuming the Company has not issued any Shares in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4.
-
(c) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(d) No convertible securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(e) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Equity Securities which are convertible into Shares, it is assumed that those quoted Equity Securities are converted into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
The number of Shares on issue (i.e. Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under
Notice of Annual General Meeting - Midas Minerals Limited
Page 13
a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting.
-
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%. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
(e) Allocation policy
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 methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing Shareholders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new investors who are not related parties of or associates of a related party of the Company.
(f) Issues in the past 12 months
The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 21 May 2024.
Since Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A was obtained and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued 10,342,967 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, as detailed in the table below.
The 10,342,967 Equity Securities represent approximately 10.2% of the number of Equity Securities on issue as of 21 May 2024.
| Date of Issue | 7 November 2024 |
|---|---|
| Number of Securities | 10,342,967 |
| Type of Security | Shares |
| Recipient of Securities |
Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors pursuant to a placement (Placement). The participants in the Placement were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Company seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from new and existing contacts of the Company. In accordance with paragraph 7.3 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company advises that Material Investor Symorgh Investments Pty Ltd , an associate of Stephen Parsons, and a substantial Shareholder, was issued 1,345,003 Shares under the Placement. |

6.4 Additional information
Resolution 3 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 3.
7. Resolution 4 – Appointment of Auditor
7.1 General
As announced on 25 June 2024, the Company appointed BDO Audit Pty Ltd ( BDO Audit ) as the new auditor of the Company following the resignation of Ernst & Young ( EY ) after receiving consent from ASIC to resign as the Company’s auditor in accordance with section 329(5) of the Corporations Act.
The change to the Company’s auditor was made after a thorough review of the Company’s external audit arrangements. The Board selected BDO Audit based on their expertise and competitive fee structure.
Under section 327C(2) of the Corporations Act, any auditor appointed under section 327C(1) of the Corporations Act holds office until the company’s next annual general meeting. The Company is therefore required to appoint an auditor of the Company to fill the vacancy in the office of auditor at this Meeting pursuant to section 327B of the Corporations Act.
In accordance with section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act, the Company has sought and obtained a nomination from a Shareholder for BDO Audit to be appointed as the Company’s auditor. A copy of this nomination is included at Schedule 2.
Notice of Annual General Meeting - Midas Minerals Limited
Page 15
BDO Audit has given its written consent to act as the Company’s auditor.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to appoint BDO Audit as the Company’s auditor under section 327B of the Corporations Act, which requires Shareholder approval for the appointment of a new auditor to fill a vacancy at the Company’s annual general meeting.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the appointment of BDO Audit as the Company’s new auditor will take effect at the close of the Meeting.
If Resolution 4 is not passed the Company will need to appoint a new auditor other than BDO Audit.
7.2 Additional information
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 4.
8. Resolution 5 – Re-insertion of proportional takeover bid approval provisions
8.1 General
The Company’s Constitution contains proportional takeover bid approval provisions ( Proportional Takeover Provisions ) which enable the Company to refuse to register Securities acquired under a proportional takeover bid unless a resolution is passed by Shareholders in a general meeting approving the offer. Under the Corporations Act, proportional takeover provisions expire after three years from adoption or renewal and may then be renewed. The Proportional Takeover Provisions in the current Constitution have expired.
Resolution 5 seeks the approval of Shareholders to modify the Constitution by re-inserting the Proportional Takeover Provisions for a further 3 years under sections 648G(4) and 136(2) of the Corporations Act. The proposed Proportional Takeover Provisions set out in Schedule 3 are identical to those previously contained at schedule 5 of the Constitution.
The Corporations Act requires the Company to provide Shareholders with an explanation of the Proportional Takeover Provisions as set out below.
8.2 Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act
(a) Effect of Proportional Takeover Provisions to be renewed
A proportional off-market takeover bid ( PT Bid ) is a takeover offer sent to all Shareholders but only for a specified portion of each Shareholder’s Securities.
Where offers have been made under a PT Bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a PT Bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the PT Bid is passed.
(b) Reasons for renewing Proportional Takeover Provisions
If re-inserted, under schedule 5 of the Constitution if a PT Bid is made to Shareholders of the Company, the Board is required to convene a meeting of Shareholders to vote on a resolution to approve the proportional takeover. That meeting must be held at least 15 days before the offer under the PT Bid closes.
Notice of Annual General Meeting - Midas Minerals Limited
Page 16
The resolution is taken to have been passed if a majority of Securities voted at the meeting, excluding the Securities of the bidder and its associates, vote in favour of the resolution. If no resolution is voted on at least 15 days before the close of the PT Bid, the resolution is deemed to have been passed. Where the resolution approving the PT Bid is passed or deemed to have been passed, transfers of Securities resulting from accepting the PT Bid are registered provided they otherwise comply with the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, the ASX Operating Rules and the Constitution. If the resolution is rejected, then under the Corporations Act the PT Bid is deemed to be withdrawn.
The Directors consider that Shareholders should have the opportunity to re-insert the Proportional Takeover Provisions. Without the Proportional Takeover Provisions applying, a PT Bid for the Company may enable effective control of the Company to be acquired without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all of their Securities to the bidder. Shareholders could be at risk of passing control to the bidder without payment of an adequate control premium for all their Securities whilst leaving themselves as part of a minority interest in the Company.
Without the Proportional Takeover Provisions, if there was a PT Bid and Shareholders considered that control of the Company was likely to pass, Shareholders would be placed under pressure to accept the PT Bid even if they did not want control of the Company to pass to the bidder. Re-inserting the Proportional Takeover Provisions will make their situation less likely by permitting Shareholders to decide whether a PT Bid should be permitted to proceed.
(c) Knowledge of any acquisition proposals
As at the date of this Notice, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.
(d) Advantages and disadvantages of the Proportional Takeover Provisions since last renewed
As there have been no takeover bids made for any of the Shares in the Company since the Proportional Takeover Provisions were adopted, there has been no application of these provisions. It may be argued that the potential advantages and disadvantages described below have also applied for the period since adoption of the Proportional Takeover Provisions.
(e) Potential advantages and disadvantages of Proportional Takeover Provisions
The renewal of the Proportional Takeover Provisions will enable the Directors to formally ascertain the views of Shareholders about a PT Bid. Without these provisions, the Directors are dependent upon their perception of the interests and views of Shareholders. Other than this advantage, the Directors consider that re-insertion of the Proportional Takeover Provisions has no potential advantages or potential disadvantages for them, as they remain free to make a recommendation on whether a PT Bid should be accepted.
The Directors consider that re-inserting the Proportional Takeover Provisions benefits all Shareholders in that they will have an opportunity to consider a PT Bid and then attend or be represented by proxy at a meeting of Shareholders called specifically to vote on the proposal. Accordingly, Shareholders are able to prevent a PT Bid proceeding if there is sufficient support for the proposition that control of the Company should not be permitted to pass under the PT Bid. Furthermore, knowing the view of Shareholders assists each individual Shareholder to assess the likely outcome of the PT Bid and whether to accept or reject that bid.
Notice of Annual General Meeting - Midas Minerals Limited
Page 17
As to the possible disadvantages to Shareholders re-inserting the Proportional Takeover Provisions, potentially, the proposal makes a PT Bid more difficult and PT Bids will therefore be discouraged. This may reduce the opportunities which Shareholders may have to sell all or some of their Securities at a premium to persons seeking control of the Company and may reduce any takeover speculation element in the Company’s Share price. The Proportional Takeover Provisions may also be considered an additional restriction on the ability of individual Shareholders to deal freely on their Securities.
The Directors consider that there are no other advantages or disadvantages for Directors or Shareholders which arose during the period during which the Proportional Takeover Provisions were in effect, other than those discussed in this Section.
(f)
Recommendation by the Board
The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of re-inserting the Proportional Takeover Provisions and as a result consider that re-inserting the Proportional Takeover Provisions in the Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
8.3 Additional information
Resolution 5 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 5.
9. Resolution 6 – Re-approval of Employee Securities Incentive Plan
9.1 General
The Company considers that it is desirable to maintain an employee incentive scheme 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.
This Resolution seeks re-approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Midas Minerals Ltd Employee Securities Incentive Plan” (Plan) in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 , exception 13(b). The Plan was first adopted at the Company’s annual general meeting on 5 May 2023, where Shareholders approved the issue of up to a maximum of 6,700,000 Equity Securities pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 , exception 13(b).
Shareholder approval is sought under this Resolution for the issue of up to a maximum of 12,500,000 Equity Securities under the Plan pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 , exception 13(b).
Under the 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 Plan. A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is in Schedule 4. In addition, a copy of the Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Joint Company Secretaries at [email protected]. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
Notice of Annual General Meeting - Midas Minerals Limited
Page 18
9.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2, exception 13(b)
Broadly speaking, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the ability of a listed entity from issuing or agreeing to issue Equity Securities over a 12-month period which exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary Shares it had on issue at the start of the 12-month period.
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 6 is passed, the Company will be able to issue up to a maximum of 12,500,000 Equity Securities under the 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 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 6 is not passed, any issue of Equity Securities pursuant to the Plan would need to be made either with Shareholder approval or, in default of Shareholder approval, pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under either or both Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
9.3 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 Plan:
-
(a) A summary of the material terms of the Plan is in Schedule 4.
-
(b) As at the date of this Notice and since the Plan was approved by Shareholders on 5 May 2023, the Company has issued the following Equity Securities under the Plan:
| Number of Securities |
Type of Security | Recipient(s) | Date of issue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3,500,000 | Performance Rights | Directors | 26 June 2023 |
| 250,000 | Performance Rights | Employees and consultants | 27 October 2023 |
| 400,000 | Performance Rights | KMP (Carl Travaglini), employees and consultants |
21 March 2024 |
| 315,789 | Shares | Managing Director Mark Calderwood |
27 May 2024 |
| 550,000 | Performance Rights | Employees and consultants | 27 June 2024 |
| 700,000 | Performance Rights | KMP (Carl Travaglini), employees and consultants |
25 February 2025 |
(c) The maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), following approval of Resolution 6, is 12,500,000 (subject to adjustment in the event of a reorganisation of capital and further
Notice of Annual General Meeting - Midas Minerals Limited
Page 19
subject to applicable laws and the Listing Rules). This number comprises approximately 10% of the Company's Shares currently on issue.
The maximum number of Equity Securities is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number to be issued under the Plan but is specified for the purpose of setting a ceiling in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b). It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Equity Securities for which approval is obtained will be issued immediately.
(d) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
9.4 Additional information
Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 6 due to the Directors’ potential personal interests in the outcome of the Resolution.
10. Resolution 7 – Approval of potential termination benefits under the Plan
10.1 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 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 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.
As the Company is seeking a fresh approval under Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b) at this Meeting (the subject of Resolution 6) to adopt the Plan, the Board has resolved to seek Shareholder approval for the granting of such termination benefits in accordance with this Resolution.
If Resolution 7 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 unless Shareholder approval is obtained each and every time such termination benefit is proposed, in accordance with section 200E of the Corporations Act.
10.2 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 6, Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act to approve the giving of benefits under the Plan to a person by the Company in connection with that person ceasing to be an officer of, or 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.
Notice of Annual General Meeting - Midas Minerals Limited
Page 20
Under the terms of the Plan and subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, 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 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 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.
10.3 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 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.
10.4 Additional information
Resolution 7 is conditional on the passing of Resolution 6.
If Resolution 6 is not approved at the Meeting, Resolution 7 will not be put to Shareholders at the Meeting. Resolution 7 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 7 due to their potential personal interests in the outcome of the Resolution.

Despite articles 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, if offers are made under a proportional takeover bid for securities of the Company in accordance with the Corporations Act:
-
(a) this Schedule 5 applies;
-
(b) the registration of a transfer giving effect to a takeover contract resulting from acceptance of an offer made under the takeover bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution (an “approving resolution”) to approve the bid is passed or taken to be passed in accordance with paragraph 4 or 5; and

(e) certain related persons on behalf of the participants described in paragraphs (a) to (d) (inclusive).
2. ( Maximum allocation ): The Company must not make an offer of Securities under the 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 Plan at any time during the previous 3 year period,
would exceed 10% 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.
3. ( Purpose ): The purpose of the 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 to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
4. ( Plan administration ): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the 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.
5. ( Eligibility, invitation and application ): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the 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 Plan will comply with the disclosure obligations pursuant to Division 1A.
Notice of Annual General Meeting - Midas Minerals Limited
Page 28
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.
6. ( 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 Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
7. ( 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 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.
8. ( 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.
9. ( 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 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 Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
10. ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under
Notice of Annual General Meeting - Midas Minerals Limited
Page 29
the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
11. ( 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 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.
12. ( 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.
13. ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the 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 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.
14. ( 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.
15. ( 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
16. ( 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.
17. ( Amendment of Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the 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.
18. ( 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 Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
19. ( Employee Share Trust ): The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding securities for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of holders upon exercise of Options or Performance Rights.
