EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Corporations Act, 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 2022, 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.minbos.com.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 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 company or the directors of 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 a 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.

2.2

Voting consequences

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 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 vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to 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 most recent 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.

/1464_7

2.3 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 Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – DGANIT BALDAR

3.1 General

Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 15.2 of the Constitution provide that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without reelection) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or three years, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled to be exempt from this rotation requirement.

Ms Dganit Baldar, who has served as a Director since 18 March 2016 and was last re-elected on 26 November 2019, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Ms Baldar is a qualified Israeli corporate lawyer with approximately 20 years’ experience in the legal profession. Ms Baldar was previously the General Counsel for Mitrelli Group, a multinational organization which initiates, executes and manages large turn-key projects in developing countries.

She has a wide range of experience in all forms of corporate and commercial law with specific expertise in complex joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions. In addition, she has expertise in dealing with Angolan law and companies.

During the past three years, Ms Baldar has not held directorships in any other ASX listed companies.

3.3 Independence

Ms Baldar was appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director following substantial holder Green Services Innovation Limited, a British Virgin Islands ( BVI ) Company, exercising its right to appoint a Director to the Board.

If re-elected the Board does not consider Ms Baldar will be an independent Director.

3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 2 is passed, Ms Baldar will be re-elected to the Board as a nonindependent Director.

In the event that Resolution 2 is not passed, Ms Balder will not join the Board as a Director. The Company may seek nominations or otherwise identify suitably qualified candidates to join the Company. As an additional consequence, this may detract from the Board and Company’s ability to execute on its strategic vision.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – VALENTINE CHITALU

4.4 Board recommendation

Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Mr Chitalu and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

5.1 General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval

7

MNB Notice of Meeting (ASX Approved) - Compiled

of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

As at the date of this Notice, 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 $75,668,063 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 13 October 2022).

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

For note, a special resolution is a resolution requiring at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote at the meeting in favour of the resolution.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid

The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).

(b)

Minimum price

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash consideration at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity

8

MNB Notice of Meeting (ASX Approved) - Compiled

Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 5.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate

The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for:

  • (i) the acquisition of new resources, assets, and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition);

  • (ii) continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets/or projects (funds would then be used for project, feasibility studies and ongoing project administration);

  • (iii) the development of the Company’s current business; and

  • (iv) general working capital.

(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as of 13 October 2022.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 756,680,625 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 13 October 2022 (being $0.10).

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  6. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.

  8. 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%.

  9. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

10

MNB Notice of Meeting (ASX Approved) - Compiled

(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 31 January 2022 ( Previous Approval ).

During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 23 November 2021, the Company issued 52,565,789 pursuant to the Previous Approval ( Previous Issue ), which represents approximately 8.53% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 23 November 2021, which was:

  • (i) 465,032,897 Shares;

  • (ii) 66,562,500 Quoted Options exercisable at $0.10 each on or before 30 April 2023;

  • (iii) 9,000,000 Unquoted Options exercisable at $0.05 each on or before 26 November 2022;

  • (vi) 12,000,000 Unquoted Options exercisable at $0.10 each on or before 30 April 2025; and

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of securities under the Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years from the date of the Meeting. The issue of any securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of securities stated in Section 6.3(b) below) will be excluded

13

MNB Notice of Meeting (ASX Approved) - Compiled

from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of 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.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of those securities.

6.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:

  • (a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 1;

  • (b) the Company has issued 60,000,000 securities under its previous plan titled Options Rights Plan which was approved by Shareholders on 3 November 2020;

  • (c) The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the Plan to:

  • (i) allow the Company to have the option to issue Securities, such as Shares and/or Performance Rights, other than Options as was previously permitted under the previous Options Plan referred to in Section 6.3(b); and

  • (ii) include the new terms and conditions required by Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which replaced the previous relief provided by ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (Employee Incentive Scheme); and

  • (d) the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), is 75,000,000 securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

SCHEDULE 1 – TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE COMPANY’S EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SECURITIES PLAN

A summary of the material terms of the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) is set out below.

Eligible Participant Eligible Participantmeans a person that is a ‘primary participant’
(as that term is defined in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations
Act) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate
(as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been determined by
the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
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 Shares, Options and
Performance Rights (Securities).
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 (except to the extent that it prevents the
Participant relying on the deferred tax concessions under
Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax Assessment Act 1997_(Cth)).
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 Plan and make an invitation to
that Eligible Participant to apply for any (or any combination of)
the Securities provided under the Plan on such terms and
conditions as the Board decides.
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.
Grant of Securities The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly
completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number
and type of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in
the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation
required.
Rights attaching to
Convertible
Securities
AConvertible Securityrepresents a right to acquire one or more
Plan Shares in accordance with the Plan (for example, an Option
or a Performance Right).

18

MNB Notice of Meeting (ASX Approved) - Compiled

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, the holder:
(a)
does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in
any Share the subject of the Convertible Security other than
as expressly set out in the Plan;
(b)
is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a
meeting of the shareholders of the Company;
(c)
is not entitled to receive any dividends declared by the
Company; and
(d)
is not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares (see
Adjustment of Convertible Securities section below).
Vesting
of
Convertible
Securities
Any vesting conditions which must be satisfied before Convertible
Securities can be exercised and converted to Shares 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 next paragraph below), pay the
exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any
time following vesting of the Convertible Security (if subject to
vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the
invitation or vesting notice.
An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the
Convertible Securities, 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 Valuemeans, 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.
Timing of issue of
Shares
and
quotation of Shares
on exercise
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 the Plan rules and issue a substitute
certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities
held by that Participant.

Restrictions on
dealing with
Convertible
Securities
A holder may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over
or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been
granted to them unless otherwise determined by the Board. A
holder must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of
hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that
has been granted to them.
However, in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan
(including in the case of death or total or permanent disability of
the Participant) a Participant may deal with Convertible Securities
granted to them under the Plan with the consent of the Board.
Listing of
Convertible
Securities
A Convertible Security granted under the Plan will not be quoted
on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. The Board reserves
the right in its absolute discretion to apply for quotation of an
Option granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised
exchange.
Forfeiture
of
Convertible
Securities
Convertible
Securities
will
be
forfeited
in
the
following
circumstances:
(a)
where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities
ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer
employed or their office or engagement is discontinued
with the Group), all unvested Convertible Securities will
automatically be forfeited by the Participant;
(b)
where a Participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly,
negligently, in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully
breaches their duties to the Group;
(c)
where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in
accordance with the Plan;
(d)
on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or
(e)
on the Expiry Date.
Change of control If a change of control event occurs, 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 holder’s
Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without
limitation, in a manner that allows the holder to participate in
and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection
with the change of control event.
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 issue 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.

20

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.
Plan Shares The Board may, from time to time, make an invitation to an Eligible
Participant to acquire Plan Shares under the Plan. The Board will
determine in its sole an absolute discretion the acquisition price (if
any) for each Plan Share which may be nil. The Plan Shares may
be subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions as
determined by the Board.
Where Plan Shares granted to a Participant are subject to
performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions, the Participant’s
Plan Shares will be subject to certain restrictions until the applicable
performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions (if any) have been
satisfied, waived by the Board or are deemed to have been
satisfied under the Rules.
Rights attaching to
Plan Shares
All Shares issued or transferred under the Plan or issued or
transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible
Security, (Plan Shares) will rank equally in all respects with the
Shares of the same class for the time being on issue except for any
rights attaching to the Shares by reference to a record date prior
to the date of the allotment or transfer of the Plan Shares. 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.
Disposal restrictions
on Plan Shares
If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares 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.
For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions
under the Plan, the Participant will not:
(a)
transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a
security interest granted over that Plan Share; or
(b)
take any action or permit another person to take any action
to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the
express written consent of the Company.
General Restrictions
on Transfer of Plan
Shares
If the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that
complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Plan
Shares issued under the Plan (including on exercise of Convertible
Securities) may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless
the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus
pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Act.
Restrictions are imposed by Applicable Law on dealing in Shares
by persons who possess material information likely to affect the
value of the Shares and which is not generally available. These laws
may restrict the acquisition or disposal of Shares by you during the
time the holder has such information.

21

MNB Notice of Meeting (ASX Approved) - Compiled

Any Plan Shares issued to a holder under the Plan (including upon
exercise of Convertible Securities) shall be subject to the terms of
the Company’s Securities Trading Policy.
Buy-Back Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy-
back Securities in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
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
Convertible Securities for holders under the Plan and delivering
Shares on behalf of holders upon exercise of Convertible Securities.
Maximum
number
of Securities
The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which
involves monetary consideration if the number of Plan Shares that
may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities
offered under an invitation, when aggregated with the number of
Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of all invitations under
the Plan during the 3 year period ending on the day of the
invitation, will exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares at
the date of the invitation (unless the Constitution specifies a
different percentage and subject to any limits approved by
Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) – refer to
Resolution 6 and Section 6.2.
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.
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.
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.
Income Tax
Assessment Act
The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax_
Assessment Act 1997(Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that
Act) except to the extent an invitation provides otherwise.
