Please refer to the note on the front cover of the Notice regarding lodging proxies and/or attending the Meeting

Shareholders are strongly encouraged to lodge their directed proxy forms in accordance with the instructions set out therein to vote before the Meeting.

This Memorandum should be read in conjunction with, and forms part of, the accompanying Notice.

BUSINESS

2023 Annual Financial Statements

Section 317 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“ the Corporations Act ”) requires the Company’s Annual Financial Report, Directors’ Report, Remuneration Report and Auditor’s Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 to be laid before the Annual General Meeting ( Meeting ). There is no requirement that Shareholders formally approve the reports.

The Financial Report contains the financial statements of the consolidated entity consisting of the Company and its controlled entities.

As permitted by the Corporations Act, a printed copy of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report has been sent only to those shareholders who have elected to receive a printed copy. A copy of the 2023 Annual Report is available from the Company's website (www.novaminerals.com.au) and the ASX announcements page of the Company (www2.asx.com.au, search code “NVA”).

The chair of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting for shareholders to ask questions. Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask the Company’s auditor questions about its audit report, the conduct of its audit of the Company’s financial report for the year ended 30 June 2023, the preparation and content of its audit report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in its preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the Company’s auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

There is no requirement for these reports to be formally approved by shareholders. No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.

Resolution 1: Non-binding Resolution - Remuneration Report

The Company is required pursuant to the Corporations Act, to propose a non-binding resolution regarding the 2023 Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Director’s Report in the 2023 Annual Financial Statements. The vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The Remuneration Report:

  • describes the policies behind, and the structure of, the remuneration arrangements of the Company and the link between the remuneration of executives and the Company’s performance;

  • sets out the remuneration arrangements in place for each Director and for certain members of the senior management team; and

  • explains the differences between the basis for remunerating non-executive Directors and senior executives, including the Chief Executive Officer.

-7-

Shareholders attending the Meeting will have an opportunity to discuss and put questions in respect of the Remuneration Report. The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. However, the Board will take into account any discussion on this Resolution and the outcome of the vote on this Resolution when considering the future remuneration policies and practices of the Company.

Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGM’s (treating this AGM as the first such meeting), shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGM's on a resolution (a "spill resolution") that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's Directors (other than the Managing Director and CEO) must be put up for re-election. The vote on the Remuneration Report contained in the Company's 2022 Annual Financial Statements was passed with the support of more than 75% of votes thus a spill resolution will not be required in the event that 25% or more of votes that are cast are against the adoption of the 2023 Remuneration Report. However, in the event that 25% or more of votes that are cast are against the adoption of the 2023 Remuneration Report, shareholders should be aware that if there is a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more for the same resolution at the 2024 AGM the consequences are that it may result in the re-election of the Board.

Note that a voting prohibition applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice. In particular, Directors and other members of the key management personnel details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report or a closely related party of those persons must not vote on Resolution 1 and must not cast a vote as proxy, unless the proxy appointment gives a direction on how to vote provided however that the Chair may vote undirected proxies on behalf of persons eligible to vote where expressly authorised to do so on the proxy form.

Resolution 2: Re-election of Mr Avi Geller as a Director

Article 59(1) of the constitution of the Company ( Constitution ) requires that one-third of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not more than one-third of the Directors must retire from office at each AGM.

Article 59(3) of the Constitution provides that a retiring Director will be eligible for re-election.

Article 59(2) of the Constitution provides that the Directors to retire by rotation at each AGM are those Directors who have been longest in office since their last election or appointment or, if multiple Directors who have been longest in office since their last election or appointment were previously elected or appointed on the same day, those Directors may agree among themselves or determine by lot which of them must retire.

The Company has five Directors, one of which is the CEO/Managing Director.

Noting the above, Avi Geller, a Non-Executive Director of the Company, retires by rotation in accordance with the Constitution and, being eligible, seeks re-election pursuant to Resolution 2.

Avi Geller has extensive investment experience and a deep knowledge of corporate finance, including capital markets, venture capital, hybrid, debt and private equity. He served as Chief Investment Officer of Leonite Capital, a family office he co-founded focusing on real estate and capital markets.

Mr. Geller also serves as a director of the real estate company Parkit Enterprise Inc (TSX-V: PKT | OTCQX: PKTEF) and the events and technology company Dealflow Financial Products. He previously served as chairman of Axios Mobile Assets.

The Board, with Avi Geller abstaining from making a recommendation, recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3: Approval of 10% placement facility

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities (as that term is defined in the ASX Listing Rules) up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after an AGM ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to a company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalization of $300 million or less.

-8-

The Company is, at the date of the Notice, an eligible entity.

The Company is seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The exact number of equity securities (if any) to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer below). The Company may use funds raised from any issue(s) under the 10% Placement Facility for development of its existing business and any acquired business, or funding new projects or business opportunities and/or general working capital.

The Company obtained shareholder approval to make issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2022 AGM. The Company seeks to refresh the shareholder approval so as to continue to be able to make issues under the 10% Placement Facility after the Meeting in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

If shareholders pass Resolution 3, the Company may be able to issue the number of equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility in accordance with the formula prescribed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below). If Resolution 3 is not passed by shareholders, the Company will not be able to issue any equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 3.

DESCRIPTION OF LISTING RULE 7.1A

  • Shareholder approval

The ability to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an AGM.

  • Equity securities

Any equity securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of equity securities of the Company. The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has one class of quoted equity securities, being ordinary shares ( NVA ).

  • Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an AGM may, during the 10% Placement Period (defined below), issue a number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

where:

A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue:

  • (i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • (ii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9, where:

  • a. the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • b. the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or take under those rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (iii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 16 where:

-9-

  - _a. the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or_

  - _b. the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under those rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;_
  • (iv) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;

  • (v) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (vi) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

  • Note: “A” has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

  • D

is 10%

  • E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that has not been subsequently approved by shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

  • ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

As at the date of this Meeting, the Company has 210,889,961 ordinary shares on issue and will therefore have capacity to issue:

  • (i) 31,633,494 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (15% capacity); and

  • (ii) 21,088,996 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A (10% Placement Facility).

The actual number of equity securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the equity securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer above).

Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of equity securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of equity securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the relevant equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the relevant equity securities; or

  • (ii) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.

• 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained and expires (and ceases to be valid) on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) the time and date of the next AGM of the Company; or

  • (iii) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

-10-

  • ( 10% Placement Period ).

  • ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors of the Company to issue the equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period separate to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative).

SPECIFIC INFORMATION REQUIRED BY ASX LISTING RULE 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • Any equity security issued will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s equity securities over the 15 trading days immediately before:

  • (i) The date on which the price at which the relevant equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the relevant equity securities; or

  • (ii) If the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.

  • If Resolution 3 is approved by the Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company would be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of options, only if the options are exercised). There is a risk that:

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

  • (ii) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s equity securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the quantum of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.

The table below shows the dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the current market price of the Company’s ordinary shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of the Notice. The table also shows:

  • Two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary shares the Company has on issue as at the date of the Notice. The number of ordinary shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary shares that do not require shareholder approval (for example, a pro-rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future shareholders’ meeting.

  • Two examples of where the price of ordinary shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the deemed market price (being $0.29 (29 cents), the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares at close of trading on 22 August 2023).

The table above has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum securities available under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A being 10% of the Company’s shares on issue at the date of the Meeting.

  • No options are exercised or performance rights are converted into fully paid ordinary securities before the date of the issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • The table does not demonstrate an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • The table only demonstrates the effect of issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. It does not consider placements made under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The deemed price in the table is indicative only and does not consider the maximum 25% discount to market that the securities may be placed at under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

The Company may seek to issue the equity securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised (if any) towards developing its existing business and any acquired business, or to fund new projects or business opportunities and/or for general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 upon issue of any equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including but not limited to the following:

-12-

  • the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;

  • the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

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

Due to the forward looking nature of the approval, the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

The Company has previously obtained shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2022 AGM. During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, the Company did not issue any equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

As at the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the equity securities. Accordingly, no voting exclusion applies to this Resolution 3 and no existing shareholder’s votes will be excluded.

The directors of the Company unanimously recommend shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 4: Adoption of Employee Incentive Scheme

Background

Resolution 4 seeks shareholder approval for the adoption of an employee incentive scheme, being the Employee Share Option Plan ( 2023 ESOP ). A summary of the 2023 ESOP is set out in Annexure A and a copy of the 2023 ESOP can be provided upon request to the Company.

The 2023 ESOP has identical terms to the ESOP adopted by shareholders at the 2020 AGM ( 2020 ESOP ).

ASX Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires that shareholder approval is required for an issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the entity during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) provides an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for securities issued under an employee incentive scheme within 3 years of shareholder approval of the scheme. The Company therefore seeks approval of the 2023 ESOP for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) so that issues of securities under the 2023 ESOP do not impede the capacity of the Company to issue up to a further 15% of its capital without shareholder approval.

The following information is provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b):

  • A Summary of the material terms of the 2023 ESOP is set out in Annexure A.

  • The Company issued an aggregate of 9,350,000 unlisted options under the terms of the 2020 ESOP as last approved by shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) at the 2020 AGM. This includes 11,000,000 unlisted options that were consolidated into 1,100,000 unlisted options following the 10 for 1 consolidation of the issued capital of the Company in late 2021.

  • The maximum aggregate number of securities that may be issued under the 2023 ESOP is 20,000,000. As at the date of the Notice, the Company has not agreed to issue any securities under the 2023 ESOP.

  • A voting exclusion statement and proxy voting prohibition set out in the Notice applies to Resolution 4.

-13-

Corporations Act

The ESOP constitutes an ‘employee share scheme’ for the purposes of the Corporations Act as it provides for the acquisition (subject to vesting conditions) of securities in the Company. If such a scheme has been approved by Shareholders then any financial assistance that the Company might give to acquire its own shares (e.g. providing an interest-free loan) is exempted from the prohibition in section 260A of the Corporations Act. Section 260A requires financial assistance that might be considered to materially prejudice the interests of the Company or its shareholders or the Company’s ability to pay its creditors to be approved by Shareholders under section 260B and advance notice to be provided to ASIC. The provision of a loan to participants may be considered financial assistance for the purposes of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, the Board considers it desirable and appropriate to seek Shareholder approval for the ESOP for the purposes of section 260C(4).

Section 257B(1) of the Corporations Act sets out the procedure for various forms of share buy-back, including an “employee share scheme buy-back”. In order for the Company to undertake a buy-back of Shares under the 2023 ESOP (in circumstances where Shares are forfeited by participants in accordance with their terms of issue) using the employee share scheme buy-back procedure under the Corporations Act, the 2023 ESOP must be approved by shareholders. Accordingly, Shareholders are asked to approve the ESOP in order for the Company to undertake a buy-back of Shares under the 2023 ESOP using the employee share scheme buy-back procedure.

Approval of the 2023 ESOP for the purposes of section 259B(2) of the Corporations Act will allow the Company to take security over its own shares issued on exercise of options granted under the ESOP. The rules of the ESOP provide the option for the Company to obtain security over its own shares and it is envisaged that issued Shares may be subject to restrictions on disposal. Approval of the 2023 ESOP for the purposes of s259B(2) of the Corporations Act removes any doubt about the efficacy of such restrictions on the basis they may constitute a ‘security’ over the shares.

General

An electronic copy of the 2023 ESOP will be made available to shareholders upon request to the Company.

Note: references in the Notice and the Memorandum to “$” are to Australian currency.

ANNEXURE A TERMS OF EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION PLAN

The key terms of the 2023 Employee Share Option Plan ( ESOP in this Annexure A) are as follows:

  • (a) Eligibility: Participants in the ESOP may be:

  • (i) a Director (whether executive or non-executive) of the Company, its subsidiaries and any other related body corporate of the Company ( Group Company );

  • (ii) a full or part time employee of any Group Company;

  • (iii) a casual employee or contractor of a Group Company to the extent permitted by applicable law; or

  • (iv) a prospective participant, being a person to whom the offer is made but who can only accept the offer if an arrangement has been entered into that will result in the person becoming a Participant under clauses (a), (b) or (c) above,

who is declared by the Board to be eligible to receive grants of Options under the ESOP or an approved nominee ( Participants ).

  • (b) ESOP Limit : The maximum number of securities which may be issued under the Plan from time to time is 20,000,000. Shares issued on exercise of an option or exercise or conversion of an interest issued under the Plan, and options which have been cancelled or which have lapsed are not counted in determining the number of Options issued under the Plan.

  • (c) Administration of ESOP: The Board (or its delegated authority) is responsible for the operation of the ESOP and has a broad discretion to determine which Participants will be offered Options under the ESOP.

  • (d) Offer: The Board may issue an offer to a Participant to participate in the ESOP. The offer will:

  • (i) set out the number of Options offered under the ESOP;

  • (ii) specify the exercise price and expiry date of the Options;

  • (iii) specify any vesting and exercise conditions and restriction periods applying to the Options (and Shares when Options are exercised);

  • (iv) specify an acceptance period; and

  • (v) specify any other terms and conditions attaching to the Options.

  • (d) Issue price: unless the Options are quoted on the ASX, Options issued under the ESOP will be issued for no more than nominal cash consideration.

  • (e) Exercise Conditions: Participants may only exercise vested Options by paying the Exercise Price. Vested Options must be exercised during one of the Company's trading windows (subject to the Company's Trading in Securities Policy). An Option may be made subject to such other exercise conditions as determined by the Board in its discretion and as specified in the offer for the Option.

  • (f) Cashless exercise facility: If determined by the Board (in its discretion) and specified in an invitation, the holder of Options may elect to pay the Exercise Price for an Option by setting off the exercise price against the relevant number of Shares which they are entitled to receive upon exercise or, if the circumstances are deemed appropriate at the time, the Company may cancel or procure the acquisition of the relevant number of vested Options in consideration for the relevant Exercise Price that would have been payable ( Cashless Exercise Facility ). By using the Cashless Exercise Facility, the holder will receive Shares to the value of the surplus after the Exercise Price has been set off. If a holder elects to use the Cashless Exercise Facility, the holder will only be issued that number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) as are equal in value to the difference between the total Exercise Price otherwise payable for the Options on the Options being exercised and the then market value of the Shares at the time of exercise (determined as the volume weighted average of the

-15-

prices at which Shares were traded on the ASX during the one week period immediately preceding the exercise date) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

S = 0 x (MSP-EP) / MSP

Where:

  • S Number of Shares to be issued on exercise of the Options.

  • 0 Number of Options.

  • MSP Market value of the Shares (calculated using the volume weighted average prices at which Shares were traded on the ASX over the one week period immediately preceding the exercise date).

  • EP Option exercise price.

If the difference between the total Exercise Price otherwise payable for the Options on the Options being exercised and the then market value of the Shares at the time of exercise (calculated in accordance with the above formula) is zero or negative, then a holder will not be entitled to use the Cashless Exercise Facility.

(g) Loans: A Participant may apply for a loan to fund the exercise of Options in the manner determined by the Board. The loans may bear interest or be interest-free at the discretion of the Board taking into consideration, among other things, the likelihood of adverse taxation consequences for the Company. Upon expiry of the loan to the Participant, they will have the choice of either repaying the loan in full or selling the Shares. The Board may extend the period of repayment of the loan where it sees fit. Shares acquired using the loans will be subject to a holding lock which will effectively prevent the Shares from being transferred unless the loan is either repaid or the Shares are sold to enable the loan to be repaid. The loans will also be of limited recourse in that the total amount under the loan that the participant will be liable for, including any interest, will be no greater than the value of the Shares acquired under the loan. That is, in the event the Shares obtained under the loan are sold for an amount less than the amount of the loan, the participant will only be required to repay the loan, including any interest, to the amount of the sale proceeds (in proportion to the number of Shares sold). The Company will have no other recourse against the participant in respect of the balance of the loan and any interest not met by the sale proceeds. In the event that the Shares obtained under the loan are sold for an amount greater than the amount of the loan, the Participant would be entitled to any excess of the sale proceeds over the outstanding amount of the loan (in proportion to the number of Shares sold). The Board may only approve a loan to a Participant if they remain a Participant at the time the application for a loan is made, and if the market value of the Shares underlying the Options proposed to be exercised is greater than the aggregate exercise price payable by the Participant in respect of those Options. The provision of any loan is subject to applicable law including without limitation compliance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

  • (h) Restriction Periods: A Share issued on exercise of an Option may be made subject to a restriction period as determined by the Board in with the ESOP and as specified in the Offer for the Option.

  • (i) Change of Control: All vested Options must be exercised within 30 days of a change of control. Where vesting conditions apply, all unvested Options will vest unless the Board determines otherwise.

  • (j) Lapse of Options: Subject to this ESOP, a Participant's unexercised Option will lapse immediately and all rights in respect of that Option will be lost if, in respect of the Option:

  • (i) the relevant person ceases to be an employee (permanent or otherwise) of the Company, director of the Company or ceases to provide services to the Company for any reason (including without limitation resignation or termination for cause) unless the reason is due to death, total and permanent disability or redundancy and:

    • (A) any vesting conditions have not been met by the date the relevant person ceases to be a Participant ( Ceasing Date ); or

    • (B) where any vesting conditions have been met by the Ceasing Date or the Option is not subject to any exercise conditions, the Participant does not exercise the Option within a period of three months after the Ceasing Date (or a further date as determined by the Board after the Ceasing Date);

-16-

  • (ii) any vesting conditions are unable to be met; or

  • (iii) the expiry date for the Options has passed,

whichever is earlier.

  • (k) Power of attorney: Each Participant, in consideration of an offer, irrevocably appoints the Company and any person nominated from time to time by the Company (each an "attorney"), severally, as the Participant's attorney to complete and execute any documents including applications for Shares and Share transfers and to do all acts or things on behalf of and in the name of the Participant which may be convenient or necessary for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of the ESOP.

  • (m) Restriction on transfer: Options will not be transferable except to the extent provided for by the ESOP or unless the Offer provides otherwise.

  • (n) Quotation on ASX: Options will not be quoted on the ASX, except to the extent provided for by the ESOP or unless the Offer provides otherwise.

  • (o) Rights attaching to Shares: Each Share issued on exercise of an Option will have the same terms and conditions as the Company's issued Shares (other than in respect of transfer restrictions imposed by the ESOP) and it will rank equally with all other issued Shares from the issue date except for entitlements which have a record date before the issue date.
