EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 10:00am (WST) on Friday, 28 February 2025 at Nexia Perth (Company Secretarial office of Nimy Resources Ltd), being Level 4, 88 William Street, Perth WA 6000 , Western Australia .
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on all the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting.
This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of General Meeting.
Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary or otherwise in the Explanatory Statement.
1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF FULLY PAID ORDINARY SHARES ISSUED TO RAGLAN DRILLING PTY LTD
1.1 Background Information
On 1 November 2024, the Company issued 1,405,156 fully paid ordinary shares ( Raglan Shares ) in lieu of settlement of $94,899.69 (excluding GST) which would otherwise have been paid in cash to Raglan Drilling Pty Ltd ( Raglan Drilling ) for drilling costs incurred at the Company’s Masson Prospect. The Raglan Shares were issued utilising the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The arrangement allows Nimy, at the Company’s election, to satisfy up to 25% of drilling costs invoiced by Raglan Drilling through the issue of ordinary shares.
The issue price was agreed to be determined by the 10-day volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) as traded on the ASX for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of the invoice.
1.2 Listing Rule 7.1
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 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.
The issue of the Raglan Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Raglan Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Raglan Shares.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Raglan Shares.
9
1.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Raglan Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Raglan Shares.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Raglan Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Raglan Shares.
1.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
-
(a) the Raglan Shares were issued to Raglan Drilling Pty Ltd (or its nominee);
-
(b) the 1,405,156 Raglan Shares were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(c) the Raglan Shares were issued on 1 November 2024;
-
(d) 566,966 Raglan Shares were issued using a VWAP of $0.059 per Share; 442,057 Raglan Shares were issued using a VWAP of $0.0597 per Share; and 396,133 Raglan Shares were issued using a VWAP of $0.0885 per Share, for a combined value of $94,899.69 (excluding GST);
-
(e) the Raglan Shares issue was to settle a part of the costs owed to Raglan Drilling in undertaking the drilling program at the Masson Prospect, to further define an economic resource and progress a resource estimate to a JORC compliant standard;.
-
(f) the issue was not made under a formal agreement other than to agree the issue price and volume that could be settled via the issue of Shares, as set out in section 1.1 above.
-
(g) a voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution 1.
1.5 Directors’ Recommendation – Resolution 1
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution. The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
The Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF SHARES ISSUED TO PLACEMENT PARTICIPANTS (NONRELATED PARTIES)
2.1 Background Information
On 11 December 2024, the Company announced it had received firm commitments from various sophisticated, professional and otherwise exempt investors ( Placement Participants ) to raise $678,000 (before costs) through the issue of 11,300,000 Shares in the Company at an issue price of $0.06 per Share ( Placement Shares ).
The Company issued 11,300,000 Placement Shares using its “15%” placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 on 20 December 2024. Subsequent ratification of this issue by Shareholders is sought under Resolution 2.
2.2 Use of Funds Raised under the Placement
Funds raised from the Placement, together with the Company’s existing cash reserves, will be used for ongoing exploration of Gallium, Copper and other critical metals at the Mons Belt in Western Australia, and for general working capital purposes.
10
2.3 Requirement for Shareholder Approval
As described in Section 2.1 above, the Company has issued a total of 11,300,000 Placement Shares under the Placement to the Placement Participants using its available issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
None of the Placement Participants who participated in the issue of 11,300,000 Placement Shares were or are Directors or other Related Parties of the Company.
Resolution 2 is ordinary resolution seeking approval by Shareholders for the ratification of the issue of the 11,300,000 Placement Shares.
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 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.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period from the issue date of the Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issue under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
2.4 Listing Rule 7.5 Information Requirements
In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2:
(a) Basis on which Placement Participants were identified
In respect of Resolution 2, the Placement Shares were issued to professional, sophisticated and otherwise exempt investors who are clients of Charles Street Capital Pty Ltd ( Charles Street Capital ), who acted as lead manager and corporate advisory to the Placement. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company.
None of the Placement Participants are members of the Company’s key management personnel, a substantial holder, an advisor or an associate of the Placement Participants, with no Placement Shares issued to any party greater than 1% of the Company’s issued capital at the time of issue.
11
(b) Number and class of securities issued
11,300,000 Placement Shares were issued to Placement Participants utilising the Company’s placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary Shares ranking equally with the Company’s existing Shares then on issue.
(c) Date on which the securities were issued
The Placement Shares in respect of Resolution 2 were issued by the Company on 20 December 2024.
(d) Price at which the securities were issued
The Placement Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.06 per Placement Share.
(e) Purpose of issue and the use or intended use of the funds raised

(f) Issued under an agreement
The issue of the Placement Securities was not made under an agreement.
(g) Voting exclusion
A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 2.
2.5 Directors’ Recommendation – Resolution 2
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 as it will refresh the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and give the Company the flexibility to raise additional working capital through the offer and issue of equity securities, if and as required.
3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE LEAD MANAGER OPTIONS (RELATED PARTY)
3.1 Background
As described in Section 2.1 above, the Company recently completed a Placement, raising $678,00 before costs.
Charles Street Capital Pty Ltd ( Charles Street Capital ) acted as Lead Manager to the Placement. In accordance with a lead manager agreement, the fees payable to the Lead Manager for lead manager services performed includes the grant of 1,000,000 Options to the Lead Manager ( Lead Manager Options ).

10.11.4 – an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 – a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains approval of its shareholders.
The proposed issue of Lead Manager Options to Charles Street Capital (or its nominee) falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Resolution 3 seeks the required shareholder approval for the issue of Lead Manager Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options, increasing the total number of Options on issue. If all the Lead Manager Options are exercised prior to its expiry, the Company will raise up to $100,000 on receipt of the exercise price for the Options. The Company anticipates it will use those funds for working capital purposes as required at that time.
As Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required. Accordingly, the issue of the Lead Manager Options will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Lead Manager Options to the Lead Manager or their nominee(s). In this scenario, the Company will be required to satisfy its obligation to the Lead Manager in another manner, which will most likely be via a cash payment. In this eventuality, this will negatively impact the Company’s available working capital funds and the Lead Manager may be less inclined to assist the Company in its future capital raising endeavours.

3.4 Information Required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

- (b) Which category in rules 10.11.1 – 10.11.5 the persons fall and why

- (c) The number and class of securities to be issued to the person
The Company proposes to issue 1,000,000 Lead Manager Options.
(d) Terms of securities proposed to be issued
The Lead Manager Options have an exercise price of $0.10 each and expires 3 years from the date of issue, and otherwise have the terms set out in in Schedule 1.
The Company will not seek quotation of the Lead Manager Options.
- (e) The date or dates on which the Company will issue the securities to the persons
Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company proposes to issue the Lead Manager Options shortly following the Meeting, or otherwise on one date no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
- (f) The price or consideration the entity will receive for the issue

(h) Remunerate and incentivise
The issue of the Lead Manager Options is not intended to remunerate or incentivise any director, and specifically also not Non-Executive Director Mr Neil Warburton, being the father of Mr Justin Warburton who is a director of Charles Street Capital. The Lead Manager Options are intended to remunerate and incentivise Charles Street Capital.
- (i) If the securities were or will be issued under an agreement, a summary of any other material terms of the agreement
The Lead Manager Options are proposed to be issued pursuant to the Lead Management Agreement, the material terms of which are summarised at Section 3.2 above.
(j) Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 3.
14
(k) Valuation
The Unlisted Options to be issued Charles Street Capital pursuant to Resolution 3 have been valued by internal management (who, it is considered, have sufficient qualifications, expertise and experience to conduct such a valuation) based on a valuation methodology using the Black & Scholes Option Pricing Model, which is the most widely used and recognised model for pricing options. The acceptance of this model is due to its derivation being grounded in economic theory. The value of an option calculated by the Black & Scholes Model is a function of a number of variables. The assessment of the estimated value of the Options has been prepared applying the following assumptions:
| Input | |
|---|---|
| Grant date | 20 December 2024 |
| Expiry date | 19 December 2027 |
| Spot price on grant date | $0.065 per share |
| Exercise price | $0.10 per option |
| Risk free rate | 3.98% |
| Volatility | 112.3% |
| Number of Unlisted Options | 1,000,000 |
| Value per Unlisted Option | $0.044 |
| Total value for the issue | $44,000 |
Note – the valuation noted above is not necessarily the market price that the Unlisted Options can be traded at and is not automatically the market price of taxation purposes.
(l) Dilution
If the Unlisted Options issued to Charles Street Capital are exercised, a total of 1,000,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 186,218,764 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 196,218,764 (assuming that no Shares are issued and no convertible securities vest or are exercised, including any proposed to be issued under any other Resolutions in this Notice) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 0.53%. The market price for Shares during the term of the Unlisted Options would normally determine whether the Unlisted Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Unlisted Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Unlisted Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
(m) Trading History
The trading history of the Shares’ closing prices on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:
| Share Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.105 | 3 September 2024 |
| Lowest | $0.034 | 16, 17 May 2024 |
| Last | $0.085 | 15 January 2025 |
The Board is not aware of any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 3.

3.5 Directors’ Recommendation – Resolution 3
The Directors (other than Mr Neil Warburton who has abstained himself from voting on this Resolution) believe Resolution 3 is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
4. RESOLUTIONS 4 & 5 – APPROVAL TO GRANT PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO MESSRS NEIL WARBURTON & CHRISTIAN PRICE (RELATED PARTIES)
4.1 General
The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue the following Performance Rights as short-term incentives ( STI ) and long-term incentives ( LTI ) to:
-
(a) Non-Executive Director Mr Neil Warburton (or his nominee) – up to 6,000,000 Performance Rights; and
-
(b) Executive Director Mr Christian Price (or his nominee) – up to 3,080,000 Performance Rights.
The Board considers that the issue of Performance Rights is an effective way to align the efforts of Messrs Warburton and Price in seeking to create value for Shareholders. The Board also believes that incentivising with Performance Rights is a prudent means of conserving the Company’s available cash reserves, while allowing the Company to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.
The Performance Rights are to be issued on the same terms and conditions under the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ), which was approved by Shareholders at the November 2024 AGM and which is summarised in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Statement.
The Performance Rights will each convert into a Share for no consideration on exercise once the vesting conditions have been satisfied. The Performance Rights expire 5 years from the date of grant.
If Resolutions 4 and 5 are respectively passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to Messrs Warburton and Price (or their respective nominees).
If Resolutions 4 and 5 are respectively not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to Messrs Warburton and Price (or their respective nominees), and the Company will have to consider other forms of performance-based remuneration, which may include the payment of cash.
4.2 Vesting Conditions
The vesting of the Performance Rights is subject to the satisfaction of the following performance conditions.
The Board will have the unfettered and absolute right to determine and confirm whether vesting conditions have been met in respect of each and all Tranches. In making its determination, the Board will recognise the relevant Tranche objective at the end of the applicable vesting period and have regard to the implementation of the business plan, as well as other proposals endorsed by the Board as part of its ongoing review of strategy.
Vesting conditions will be a Shareholder aligned measure ( Total Shareholder Return – TSR ).
The vesting of each Tranche will be measured in absolute terms and relative terms against a defined peer group approved by the Board which is reflective of companies in the same industry with similar issues in respect of organisational size, market capitalisation, geography, life cycle and project complexity as shown in the table below.

4.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) 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.
The proposed issue of Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit as Messrs Warburton and Price are related parties of the Company by virtue of them being Directors. As such, the Directors consider themselves unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in section 210 to 216 of the Corporation Act applies to the issue of Performance Rights, the subject of Resolutions 4 and 5.
Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of the Performance Rights to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, specifically:
-
(a) Resolution 4 – Mr Neil Warburton; and
-
(b) Resolution 5 – Mr Christian Price.
17
4.4 Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 requires Shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to:
-
(a) a director of the entity;
-
(b) an associate of the director; or
-
(c) a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
As Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rules 7.1 or 10.11 is not required. Accordingly, the issue of the Performance Rights will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
4.5 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Performance Rights:
-
(a) The Performance Rights will be issued to Messrs Warburton and Price (or their respective nominees) under Resolutions 4 and 5 respectively.
-
(b) Mr Warburton is a Non-Executive Chairman and Mr Price is an Executive Technical Director of the Company. Accordingly, both Directors fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1. In the event the Performance Rights are issued to a nominee of a Director, that person will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.2.
-
(c) Under Resolution 4 – up to 6,000,000 Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to Mr Neil Warburton (or his nominee), comprising up to 3,000,000 Short Term Incentive Performance Rights and up to 3,000,000 Long Term Incentive Performance Rights.
-
(d) Under Resolution 5 – up to 3,080,000 Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to Mr Christian Price (or his nominee), comprising up to 924,000 Short Term Incentive Performance Rights and up to 2,156,000 Long Term Incentive Performance Rights.
-
(e) The total remuneration package for Messrs Warburton and Price for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below:
| Related Party |
Salaries/ Directors Fees |
Performance Rights / Options2 |
Current Financial Year FY2025 (Estimate)3 |
Salaries/ Directors Fees |

Year Ended 30 June 2024 (Actual)1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mr Neil Warburton |

| Mr Christian Price |
$244,200 | - | $244,200 | $220,000 | - | $220,000 |
-
Actual numbers for the previous financial year, that ended on 30 June 2024, are taken from the Company’s audited Remuneration Report included within the Company’s 2024 Annual Report. Excludes Superannuation as legislated.
-
Performance Rights (Messrs Warburton and Price) are subject to vesting conditions. Options (Messrs Warburton and Price) are subject to exercise price. Performance Rights and Options are valued in accordance with AASB 2 Share-Based Payments.
-
Excludes any share-based payments which remain subject to shareholders’ approval.
-
Pro-rata following appointment to the Board on 13 November 2024.
The Company did not enter into any other transactions nor made any other payments to either Messrs Warburton or Price during the financial years ended 30 June 2023 or 30 June 2024.
18
-
(f) The Company obtained approval for the Employee Securities Incentive Plan at its Annual General Meeting held on 28 November 2024. The Company has not previously issued any securities under the Plan, including to Messrs Warburton and Price.
-
(g) The proposed Performance Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions of the Plan – set out in Schedule 2, with the key terms of the proposed Performance Rights summarised in Schedule 3 to this Explanatory Statement.
-
(h) In addition to the reasons set out in section 4.1 above, the Company has agreed to issue the Performance Rights to Messrs Warburton (Resolution 4) and Price (Resolution 5) subject to Shareholder approval for the following reasons:
-
(i) the Performance Rights are unquoted; therefore, the issue of the Performance Rights has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;
-
(ii) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to Messrs Warburton and Price in respect of an issue of Performance Rights is also beneficial to the Company as it means the related parties are not required to immediately sell the Performance Rights to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; 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 Performance Rights on the terms proposed.
-
(i) The value attributed by the Company to the Performance Rights proposed to be issued is as follows:
| Mr Neil Warburton | Mr Christian Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Short Term Incentive Performance Rights | $225,000 | $69,300 |
| Long Term Incentive Performance Rights | $179,200 | $128,785 |
| Total | $404,200 | $198,085 |
These valuations are calculated based on the assumptions that all the target vesting conditions are satisfied, and based on the Share price of $0.075 (being the closing price on 18 December 2024, the valuation date). The STI Performance Rights, which contain non-market vesting conditions, was valued at the ‘per security’ value of the STI Performance Rights using the share price as at the valuation date. The valuation of the LTIs was done using a combination of the Hoadley’s Barrier1 Model and the Hoadley’s Parisian Model (the combination of the two models to be referred to as the ‘Parisian Barrier1 Model’). Hoadley’s Parisian Model was first used to generate an implied barrier price that factors in the number of consecutive calendar days for which the underlying asset price must remain above or below the barrier. The implied barrier price (usually higher than the price target for ‘up’ barrier options) was then input into Hoadley’s Barrier1 Model to calculate the value of the performance rights.
-
(j) If the Performance Rights issued to Messrs Warburton (6,000,000 Performance Rights) and Price (3,080,000 Performance Rights) are exercised, a total of 9,080,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 186,218,764 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 195,298,764 (assuming that no Shares are issued and no convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 4.65%.
-
(k) If any of the vesting conditions are met and the Performance Rights are converted into Shares, the issue of such Shares may be a perceived cost to the Company.
19
- (l) The trading history of the Shares’ closing prices on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:
| Share Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.105 | 3 September 2024 |
| Lowest | $0.034 | 16, 17 May 2024 |
| Last | $0.085 | 15 January 2025 |
-
(m) The Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Messrs Warburton (Resolution 4) and Price (Resolution 5) affect them directly, and having a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions they do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on any of Resolutions 4 and 5 of this Notice. Mr Hampson, as the remaining Director, believes that Resolutions 4 and 5 are in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders as it incentivises and aligns the Director long term goals with that of Shareholders and accordingly recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of both Resolutions 4 and 5.
-
(n) The relevant interests of Messrs Warburton and Price in securities of the Company as at the date of this Notice are set out below:
| Shares | Options | |
|---|---|---|
| Mr Neil Warburton | 1,391,055 | 50,000 unlisted options at $0.40 each, expiring on 24/09/2026 |
| Mr Christian Price | 4,200,000 | 1,500,000 unlisted options at $0.35 each, expiring on 24/09/2025 1,500,000 unlisted options at $0.40 each, expiring on 24/09/2026 |
-
(o) The Performance Rights are intended to be issued as soon as practicable following the receipt of approval at the Meeting and in any event, will be issued no later than three years after the date of the Meeting if the required approval is received.
-
(p) The Performance Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration as they will be issued as part of Messrs Warburton’s and Price’s remuneration incentive packages.
-
(q) A summary of terms of the Plan is set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Statement and a summary of the terms and conditions of Performance Rights is set out in Schedule 3 to this Explanatory Statement.
-
(r) No loan will be provided to either Mr Warburton or Mr Price in relation to the issue of the Performance Rights.
-
(s) Details of any Securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.
-
(t) Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after this Resolution is approved and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.
-
(u) The Board is not aware of any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 4 (Mr Warburton) or Resolution 5 (Mr Price).
-
(v) A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolutions 4 and 5.
4.6 Directors’ Recommendation – Resolutions 4 and 5
Messrs Warburton (Resolution 4) and Price (Resolution 5), having a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions, do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on these Resolutions. Mr Hampson, as the remaining Director, believes that Resolutions 4 and 5 are in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders as it incentivises and aligns the Director
20
long term goals with that of Shareholders and accordingly recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of both Resolutions 4 and 5.
- RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES TO MR NEIL WARBURTON – A DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY (RELATED PARTY)
5.1 General
The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 1,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares ( Director Shares ) to Mr Neil Warburton (or his nominee), as a once-off sign-on fee following Mr Warburton’s appointment as a Non-Executive Director on 13 November 2024.
Mr Warburton has a wealth of experience in the mining industry, spanning over 45 years. He has held various executive and non-executive roles, contributing significantly to the growth and success of several companies. Mr Warburton’s former roles include Non-Executive Director at IGO Ltd (2015-2020) and Chief Executive Officer of Barminco Limited (2007-2012). Mr Warburton is currently the Non-Executive Chairman of Belaraox Limited (ASX:BRX) and Non-Executive Chairman of Norcliffe Group.
As announced on 20 December 2024, Mr Warburton will assume the role as Non-Executive Chairman effective 1 January 2025.
The Company believes that Mr Warburton’s skills and experience will further strengthen the Company’s strategic initiatives, and the once-off sign-on issue of Director Shares is a prudent means of conserving the Company’s available cash reserves, while allowing the Company to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.
5.2 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
10.11.1 – a related party;
-
10.11.2 - a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 – a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 – an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 – a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains approval of its shareholders.
The proposed issue of Director Shares to Mr Neil Warburton (or his nominee) falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Resolution 6 seeks the required shareholder approval for the issue of Director Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
As Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Shares will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
21
5.3 Information Required by Listing Rule 10.13
Listing Rule 10.13 requires that information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 as follows:
- (a) The names of the persons to whom securities will be issued
The Director Shares are proposed to be issued to Mr Neil Warburton (or his nominee).
(b) Which category in rules 10.11.1 – 10.11.5 the persons fall and why
Mr Warburton is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director and falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1.
- (c) The number and class of securities to be issued to the person
The Company proposes to issue 1,000,000 Director Shares, being fully paid ordinary shares.
(d) Terms of securities proposed to be issued
The Director Shares will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
(e) The date or dates on which the Company will issue the securities to the persons
Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company proposes to issue the Director Shares shortly following the Meeting, or otherwise on one date no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules).
- (f) The price or consideration the entity will receive for the issue
The Director Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration as a once-off sign-on fee.
- (g) Purpose of the issue and use of funds raised
The issue of Director Shares is part of the remuneration package offered to Mr Warburton.
(h) Remunerate and incentivise
The issue of Director Shares is to remunerate and incentivise Mr Warburton on being appointed as a Non-Executive Director and his impending role as Non-Executive Chairman effective 1 January 2025.
- (i) If the securities were or will be issued under an agreement, a summary of any other material terms of the agreement
For his appointment as a Non-Executive Director, Mr Warburton will receive the following director fees:
-
Annual director’s fee of $115,000 (inclusive of statutory superannuation);
-
A once-off sign-on fee of 1,000,000 Director Shares, being fully paid ordinary shares and the subject of Resolution 6; and
-
Up to 6 million Performance Rights, the subject of Resolution 4.
-
(j) Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 6.
22
5.4 Effect of the Resolution
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of 1,000,000 Director Shares to Mr Warburton (or his nominee). This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 186,218,764 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 196,218,764 (assuming that no other Shares are issued and no convertible securities vest or are exercised, including any securities proposed to be issued under any other Resolutions in this Notice) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 0.53%. The market price for Shares during the term of the Unlisted Options would normally determine whether the Unlisted Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Unlisted Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Unlisted Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Director Shares to Mr Warburton (or his nominee) and the Company will have to consider other forms of director remuneration, which may include the payment of cash.
5.5 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) 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.
The proposed issue of Director Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit as Mr Warburton is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Board (with Mr Warburton abstaining) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Shares because the Director Shares are considered by the Board as reasonable remuneration as they are being issued as a once-off sign-on fee which may otherwise have been paid in cash as a director fee.
Therefore, the issue of the Director Shares falls within the exception stipulated by section 211 of the Corporations Act.
5.6 Directors’ Recommendation – Resolution 6
The Directors (other than Mr Neil Warburton who has a personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution) believe Resolution 6 is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

6.1 General
The Company is considering conducting a placement pursuant to which the Company will issue up to 62,500,000 Shares ( Proposed Placement Shares ) (the Proposed Placement ).
Under the Proposed Placement, the Company intends to issue up to 62,500,000 Shares to unrelated parties ( Proposed Placement Participants ) at an issue price of no less than 80% of the 5-day VWAP at the time of issue, the subject of this Resolution 7.
The Proposed Placement Shares, if issued in full, represents approximately 25.1% of the Company’s total issued share capital (assuming that only the Proposed Placement Shares are issued and no other Shares are issued).
23
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholders approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to issue up to 62,500,000 Proposed Placement Shares to the Proposed Placement Participants.
If the Resolution is approved, funds raised from the Proposed Placement will allow the Company various options to access the growth capital needed for the advancements and future exploration work (including drilling) at the Company’s projects and to help fund the Company’s general working capital requirements. The Company currently anticipates that it will use such funding for:
-
(a) Exploration and Evaluation activities at the Company’s new and existing projects with a view to further develop the Mons Belt exploration target pipeline;
-
(b) High impact drilling programs to follow-up and expand known Gallium, Copper and critical minerals at the Mons Belt Project and to further define later stage exploration prospects across the Mons Belt and commence drilling to progress Masson and Block 3 prospects towards a JORC compliant resource; and
-
(c) for general working capital purposes.
The Company is currently considering a range of opportunities and no decisions have been made by the Board in relation to any specific transaction or funding source.
A capital raising may involve a placement to professional, sophisticated and institutional investors. Accordingly, the Company seeks approval to raise additional equity capital by way of the Proposed Placement to fund the abovementioned goals.
6.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 14.1A
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 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.
The issue of the Proposed Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it will effectively use up part of the Company’s existing 25% placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A if the Company decides to proceed with the Proposed Placement. This reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12-month period following the issue of the Proposed Placement Shares.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 7 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 25% placement capacity set out in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up to 62,500,000 Proposed Placement Shares. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of up to 62,500,000 Proposed Placement Shares without using its available placement capacity permitted under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The Company does not presently have sufficient placement capacity to issue all of the Proposed Placement Shares. Accordingly, if Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of all of the Placement Shares.
6.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 7:
- (a) The Proposed Placement Shares will be allotted to the Proposed Placement Participants, who will be sophisticated investors (in accordance with sections 708(8) of the Corporations Act), professional investors (in accordance with section 708(11) of the Corporations Act), other institutional and accredited investors to whom no disclosure is required under the
24
Corporations Act.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has not entered into any negotiations with any corporate broker or any other party in regard to the fundraise contemplated under this Resolution and is therefore unable to name or identify who the corporate broker or lead manager might be. The names of the investors are accordingly not known to the Company but will likely be sourced from a corporate broker via a bookbuild process, which will involve a lead manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Proposed Placement from clients of the lead manager.
None of the proposed investors will be related parties or persons in a position of influence as described in Listing Rule 10.11.
-
(b) The number of Proposed Placement Shares to be issued will not exceed 62,500,000.
-
(c) The Proposed Placement Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.
-
(d) If approved, and the Proposed Placement occurs, the Proposed Placement Shares will be issued on one date on or before 3 months after the date of the meeting as required by the Listing Rules.
-
(e) The issue price of the Proposed Placement Shares will not be less than 80% of the volume weighted average price for ordinary shares calculated over the last 5 days on which sales of ordinary shares were recorded before the date on determining the Proposed Placement Shares issue price.
-
(f) Any funds raised under the Proposed Placement will be used to fund the business goals as detailed in Section 6.1.
-
(g) The Company has not entered into any agreement for the issue of any of the Proposed Placement Shares.
-
(h) A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 7.
6.4 Directors’ Recommendation – Resolution 7
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7 as it will be excluded from the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and gives the Company the flexibility to raise additional working capital through the offer and issue of equity securities, if and as required.

| 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 Options and Performance Rights (Securities). |
| Maximum number of Convertible Securities |
The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which involves monetary consideration if the number of 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 15% 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). The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exemption 13(a)) is 26,027,041 Securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities will be issued immediately. |
| 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. |
30
| 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 |
A Convertible Security represents a right to acquire one or more Plan Shares in accordance with the Plan (for example, an Option or a Performance Right). 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). |
| Restrictions on dealing with Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities issued under the Plan cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, have a security interest granted over or otherwise dealt with unless in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan (including in the case of death or total or permanent disability of the holder) with the consent of the Board in which case the Convertible Securities may be exercisable on terms 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. |
| Vesting of Convertible Securities |
Any vesting conditions applicable to the 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 security will lapse. |
| Forfeiture of Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities will be forfeited in the following circumstances: (a) in the case of unvested Convertible Securities only, where the holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer employed or their office or engagement is discontinued with the Company and any Associated Bodies Corporate (as defined in the Corporations Act) (the Group); (b) where a Participant acts fraudulently, dishonestly, negligently, in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully breaches their duties to the Group and the Board exercises its discretion to deem some or all of the Convertible Securities held by a Participant to have been forfeited; (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, subject to the discretion of the Board. |
31
| Listing of Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities 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 Convertible Securities granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. |
|---|---|
| Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise |
To exercise a security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise (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 Securities (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice. An invitation to apply for Convertible Securities 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 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. Convertible Securities may not be exercised unless and until that 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 |
Within five business days after the issue of a valid notice of exercise 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. |
| Restriction periods and restrictions on transfer of Shares on exercise |
If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security 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. Additionally, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the following restrictions: (a) if the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares issued on exercise of the 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 Corporations Act; (b) all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to restrictions 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; and (c) all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the terms of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy. |
| Rights attaching to Shares on exercise |
All Shares issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities will rank equally in all respects with the then Shares of the Company. |
32
| Change of control | If a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50% of the Company’s issued capital), 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. The Board may specify in the Invitation how the Convertible Securities will be treated on a change of control event occurring, or the Board determining that such event is likely to occur, which may vary depending upon circumstances in which the Participant becomes a leaver and preserve some or all of the Board’s discretion under this rule. |
|---|---|
| Participation in entitlements and bonus issues |
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs, Participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues. |
| Adjustment for bonus issue |
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 Participant 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. |
| Reorganisation | 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 ASX Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
33
| 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 |

9. Share Buy-back / Capital Return
In the event that there is a share buy-back or capital return to Shareholders undertaken by the Company which has a material impact on the Company’s market capitalisation and upon the achievability of the performance criteria in respect of the Performance Rights, set out in paragraph 2 above, the parties will agree on a pro rata adjustment of the market capitalisation targets required to be met as part of the performance criteria. Any such changes to the performance criteria of the Performance Rights will be subject to Shareholder approval and any other restrictions imposed by ASX.

STEP 2 - VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.
