E X P L A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T

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

BACKGROUND TO LISTING RULES APPLICABLE TO RESOLUTIONS

Listing Rule 7.1

Listing Rule 7.1, commonly referred to as the “ 15% rule ”, limits the capacity of an ASX- listed company to issue securities without the approval of its shareholders. In broad terms, that Listing Rule provides that a company may not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities equal to more than 15% of the total number of ordinary securities on issue in the capital of the company 12 months prior to the proposed date of issue or agreement to issue (but excluding any shares issued in reliance on the 15% rule in that 12 month period), unless the issue or agreement to issue is approved by shareholders or otherwise comes within one of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1.

In the event that a resolution that is required to be approved in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.1 is so approved (each an Approved 7.1 Resolution ), the Company’s ability to issue further Equity Securities under the 15% Rule or otherwise under the terms of the Listing Rules, will not be decreased as a result of the issue of any Equity Securities pursuant to an Approved 7.1 Resolution.

In the event that a resolution that is required to be approved in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.1 is not so approved (each a Disapproved 7.1 Resolution ), the Company will during the next 12 month period and in the absence of specific Shareholder approval being granted at the relevant time, have its ability to issue further Equity Securities under the 15% Rule or otherwise under the terms of the Listing Rules, decreased by the number of Equity Securities that are the subject of a Disapproved 7.1 Resolution.

Listing Rule 7.4

A company in general meeting can ratify, by passage of an ordinary resolution, an issue of Equity Securities made in the preceding 12 months without shareholder approval in compliance with the 15% rule, so as to reverse the “depletion” of the company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval under 15% rule resulting from that previous issue.

Listing Rule 7.4, known as the “ subsequent approval ” rule, validates an issue of Equity Securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 as if it had been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 if both of the following criteria are satisfied, namely:

  • (a) the issue was not made in breach of Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (b) the holders of ordinary securities in the company subsequently approve that issue.

In the event that a resolution that is required to be approved in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.4 is so approved (each an Approved 7.4 Resolution ), the Company’s ability to issue further Equity Securities under the 15% Rule or otherwise under the terms of the Listing Rules will not be decreased as a result of the issue of any Equity Securities pursuant to an Approved 7.4 Resolution.

In the event that a resolution that is required to be approved in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.4 is not so approved (each a Disapproved 7.4 Resolution ), the Company will during the next 12 month period and in the absence of specific Shareholder approval being granted at the relevant time, either:

  • (a) have its ability to issue further Equity Securities decreased by the number of Equity Securities that were issued pursuant to a Disapproved 7.4 Resolution; or

  • (b) be required to redeem and cancel some or all of the number of Equity Securities that were issued pursuant to a Disapproved 7.4 Resolution, depending on the extent, if any, by which that number exceeds the capacity of the Company to issue further Equity Securities under the 15% Rule or otherwise under the terms of the Listing Rules.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF 17,520,000 SHARES

1.1 Background

On 15 August 2024, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments for a placement to raise approximately $550,000 (before costs) ( Placement ) through the issue of 22,000,000 Shares at $0.025 each ( Placement Shares ), together with one free attaching unlisted Option for every Placement Share subscribed under the Placement ( Placement Options ) to sophisticated and professional investors of Peak Asset Management ( Placement Participants ).

On 27 August 2024, the Company issued 17,520,000 Placement Shares using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Placement Options have not been issued and Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Placement Options.

In connection with the Placement, the Company appointed Peak Asset Management ( Peak ) to act as the lead manager of the Placement. The material terms for Peak acting as lead manager ( Lead Manager Mandate ) are that the Company will pay:

  • (a) a 2% management fee on the gross proceeds raised under the Placement payable in cash (plus GST);

  • (b) a 4% placement fee on the capital introduced in the Placement, payable in cash (plus GST); and

  • (c) subject to Shareholder approval (pursuant to Resolution 3), issue up to 2,000,000 Options to the Lead Manager on the same terms as the Placement Options ( Broker Options ).

1.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.2 and 7.4

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.2 sets out various types of equity issues that are excluded from the operation of Listing Rule 7.1.

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 issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the prior issue of the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares (being 15 August 2024).

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares (being 15 August 2024).

1.1 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5 for the Placement Shares

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the prior issue of the Placement Shares:

(a) the Placement Shares were issued on 15 August 2024, whereby the Placement Shares were issued within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 without the need for Shareholder approval;

10

  • (b) the Placement Shares were issued at $0.025 per Share;

  • (c) the Placement Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) the Placement Shares were issued to the Placement Participants, being investors selected by the Company in consultation with the Company’s lead manager, Peak. No Placement Participants were considered to be "material investors" for the purposes of ASX Guidance Note 21, paragraph 7.2. More specifically the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (e) the proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares will be used to accelerate the commercialisation of Carbon Central, continuing development of AI functionality in Carbon Central as well as working capital purposes; and

  • (f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

2. RESOLUTION 2 -APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT OPTIONS

2.1 General

As disclosed in Section 1.1 above, the Company is undertaking a Placement. The Placement Options will be issued as free-attaching Options on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of 17,520,000 Placement Options to professional and sophisticated investors who subscribed to the Placement.

2.2 Listing Rule 7.1

As summarised in Section 1.2 above, 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 proposed issue of the Placement Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

2.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options. In addition, the issue of the Placement Options 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 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Options. However, given the Placement Shares have already been issued as at the date of the Meeting, the Company will issue the Placement Options at a later date when it has sufficient placement capacity to issue the Placement Options.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Placement Options.

2.4 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 2:

  • (e) as the Placement Options are free attaching Options issued for every one (1) Placement Share subscribed for under the Placement, the Company will not receive any consideration for the issue of the Placement Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Placement Options);

  • (f) no funds were raised from the issue of the Placement Options as they were free attaching to the Placement Options on a one for one basis. If the Placement Options are exercised, the proceeds from the exercise of the Placement Options will be issued towards general working capital purposes;

  • (h) the Placement Options are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

3.1 General

The Company has entered into an agreement to issue up to 2,000,000 Broker Options to Peak (or its nominees) in part consideration for acting as lead manager to the Placement ( Broker Options ).

The proposed issue of the Broker Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

3.2 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options. In addition, the issue of the Broker Options 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 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to procced with the issue of the Broker Options. Should the issue not proceed, the Company will have to renegotiate the terms of the Lead Manager Mandate.

4. RESOLUTION 4 - RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF 763,800 SHARES

4.1 Background

On 5 July 2024, the Company issued 763,800 Shares to Peak (and or its nominees) in lieu of a cash payment to Peak owing under the Lead Manager Mandate.

The issue of the Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

4.2 Listing Rule 7.1

As summarised in Section 5.2 above, 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 securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.

The issue of the Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.1 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 Shares.

4.3 Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.2 sets out various types of equity issues that are excluded from the operation of Listing Rule 7.1.

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 issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

Accordingly, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the prior issue of the 763,800 Shares under for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the 763,800 Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares (being 5 July 2024).

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the 763,800 Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the 2,862,000 Shares (being 18 March 2024).

4.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5 for the 763,800 Shares

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the prior issue of the 763,800 Shares:

(a) the Shares were issued on 5 July 2024, whereby the Shares were issued within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 without the need for Shareholder approval;

13

  • (b) the Shares were issued at a nil issue price, in lieu of a cash payment owing under the Lead Manager Mandate;

  • (c) the Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) the Shares were issued to Peak (and or its nominees), in lieu of a cash payment owing under the Lead Manager Mandate. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares; and

  • (e) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5. RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES TO DARREN SCOTT AND RAFFAELE MARCELLINO

5.1 Background

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval to issue and allot 1,128,231 Shares to Darren Scott (or his nominee) in lieu of his non-executive director salary for the last 6-month term of his appointment and 50% owing from 28 June 2024 to 27 December 2023.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval to issue and allot 991,738 Shares to Raffaele Marcellino (or his nominee) in lieu of his non-executive director salary for the last 6-month term of his appointment and 50% owing from 28 June 2024 to 27 December 2023.

As per Darren and Raffaele’s non-executive director contracts, they will receive 50% of their entitled fee in shares to preserve the Company’s cash reserves. This shall be paid or satisfied in arrears at the end of each 6-month period ( Payment Period ) after the commencement date of 28 June 2023 for Darren and for Raffaele. Directors Darren Scott and Raffaele Marcellino agreed to take 100% of their entitled fee in shares to preserve the Company’s cash reserves.

The Formula for conversion of cash component of salary to Shares is as follows:

Conversion Shares = Instalment amount (A$12,991.22 for Darren Scott and A$11,419.22 for Raffaele Marcellino)/Closing price of Shares of the expiration of the Payment Period ($0.003 and $0.038) .

The closing price of Shares on 27 December 2023 was $0.03.

The closing price of Shares on 30 June 2024 was $0.038.

The key terms of Darren and Raffaele’s service agreements are as follows:

  • (a) Engagement : engagement as a non-executive director (Raffaele Chairman), contingent upon satisfactory performance and re-election at annual general meetings as required by the company's Constitution and the Corporations Act;

  • (b) Duties and Responsibilities : Responsibilities include promoting the Company's interests, adhering to the company’s Constitution and legal requirements, and avoiding conflicts of interest. The director must also disclose any changes that may affect his independence;

  • (c) Remuneration : each director receives A$72,000 per annum (inclusive of superannuation and any tax withholding ( Fee ). The director will receive 100% of the Fee in shares in accordance with the conversion formula listed above; and

  • (d) Term and Termination : the term of the directorship continues until terminated in accordance with the agreement, for example, the director ceases to be a director under any provision of the Corporations Act, the director resigns, bankruptcy and non re-election.

Otherwise, the service agreements are on usual terms for an agreement of this nature.

5.2 Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company, as a listed company, must not issue equity securities to persons in a position of influence without Shareholder approval.

A person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 includes:

  • (a) a related party;

14

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue of agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the Company;

  • (c) 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;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; and

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) above is such that, in the ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders.

As Darren and Raffaele are Directors of the Company, both are a person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12, and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

To this end, Resolution 5 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Shares to Darren Scott under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 and Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval to issue the Shares to Raffaele Marcellino under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Shares to Darren Scott. If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue and will receive his director’s fees and remuneration in cash.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Shares to Raffaele Marcellino. If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue and will receive his director’s fees and remuneration in cash.

5.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions; or

  • (b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.

The proposed issue of Shares (which is a type of equity security, for the purposes of the Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act) constitutes the giving of a financial benefit.

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

The non-conflicted Director of the Company (being Mr Freddy El Turk) carefully considered the issue of these Shares to Darren Scott and Raffaele Marcellino and formed the view that the giving of this financial benefit would benefit the Company in that it would reserve the Company’s cash flow.

Accordingly, the non-conflicted Director of the Company believed that the issue of these Shares to Darren Scott and Raffaele Marcellino falls within the “arm’s length terms” exception as set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act, and relies on this exception for the purposes of this Resolution. Therefore, the proposed issue of Shares to Darren Scott and Raffaele Marcellino requires Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 only.

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

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

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

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

18

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

If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years from the date of the Meeting. The issue of any securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of securities stated in Section 8.3(b) below) 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained. If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of those securities.

8.3 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

condition being met.
Termination Either party may terminate the employment agreement by
providing two months' notice in writing. NoviqTech retains the
right to terminate immediately without notice in the case of
serious or wilful misconduct.
Post-Employment Mr El Turk is subject to a post-employment Restraint period of 3, 6,
9 or 12 months, whichever the court considers reasonable in the
circumstances, including non-solicitation and non-compete
conditions.
Other Terms Mr El Turk’s employment agreement otherwise contains standard
terms and conditions for agreements of its nature, including

9.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

(a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 issue of the Director Options to Freddy El Turk constitutes giving a financial benefit and Freddy El Turk is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Freddy El Turk who has a material personal interest in Resolution 10) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Options because the agreement to issue the Director Options,

20

reached as part of the remuneration package for Freddy El Turk, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

9.3 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:

  • (c) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • (d) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • (e) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • (f) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • (g) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5),

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of the Director Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 10 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

9.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options to Freddy El Turk (or his respective nominees) within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% placement capacity.

If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options and will likely be required to renegotiate the employment contract of Freddy El Turk.

9.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 10:

  • (a) the Director Options will be issued to Freddy El Turk (or his nominee) who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as Freddy El Turk is a related party pf the Company by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Director Options to be issued to Freddy El Turk is 2,500,000;

  • (c) the terms and conditions of the Director Options are set out in Section 9.1 and Schedule 3;

  • (d) the Director Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by an ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Director Options will occur on the same date;

  • (e) the issue price of the Director Options will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Director Options;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Director Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Freddy El Turk to motivate and reward their performance as a Director and to provide cost effective remuneration to

21

Freddy El Turk, enabling the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Freddy El Turk;

(g) the current total remuneration package for Freddy El Turk including the issue of the Director Options pursuant to this Resolution 10 is $275,000 per annum; and

(h) the Director Options are being issued to Freddy El Turk under his Employment Agreement with the Company. A summary of the material terms of the Freddy El Turk Employment Agreement is set out in Section 9.1.

10. RECOMMENDATIONS

The Directors believe that the above proposals are in the best interest of the Company and, save where otherwise stated, unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the Company’s general meeting.

Under the EIP, the Company may offer or issue to Eligible Participants, the following awards (“Employee Awards”):

  • performance rights : a right to be issued or provided with an Ordinary Share at no issue price on specific vesting conditions being achieved;

  • options : a right to be issued or provided with an Ordinary Share upon the payment of the exercise price and which can only be exercised if specific vesting conditions are achieved;

  • loan shares : Ordinary Shares issued subject to a limited recourse loan and at no interest rate, subject to specific vesting conditions;

  • deferred share awards : Ordinary Shares issued to Eligible Participants:

  • who elect to receive Ordinary Shares instead of any wages, salary, director’s fees, or other remuneration; or

  • by the Company, in its discretion, in addition to their wages, salary and remuneration, or in lieu of any discretionary cash bonus or other incentive payment; or

  • exempt share awards: Ordinary Shares issued for no consideration or at an issue price which is a discount to the market price with the intention that up to A$1,000 (or such other amount which is exempted from tax under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth) or the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) from time to time) of the total value or discount received by each employee will be exempt from tax .

Eligible Employees

Employee Awards may be granted at the discretion of the board to any person who is an employee or director of, or an individual who provides services to, the Company, collectively, the Primary Participants, or another person who is a spouse, parent, child or sibling of the Primary Participant.

Price

The board has discretion to determine the issue price and/or exercise price for the Employee Awards. Vesting and Exercise of Employee Awards

The Employee Awards held by a participant will vest in and become exercisable on the satisfaction of any vesting conditions specified in the offer and in accordance with the rules of the EIP. Vesting conditions may be waived at the discretion of the board.

Change of Control

In the event a takeover bid is made to acquire all of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on issue, or a scheme of arrangement, selective capital reduction or other transaction is initiated which has an effect similar to a full takeover bid, the board may waive unsatisfied vesting conditions in relation to some or all Employee Awards. Further, if a takeover bid is made to acquire all of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on issue, participants may accept the takeover bid in respect of any Employee Awards (other than exempt share awards) which they hold notwithstanding the restriction period in respect of those Employee Awards has not expired.

Claw Back

If any vesting conditions of an Employee Award are mistakenly waived or deemed satisfied when in fact they were not satisfied, then, in accordance with the terms of the EIP, the board may determine that the relevant Employee Awards expire (if not yet exercised), or it may otherwise recover from the participant some or all of the Ordinary Shares issued on exercise of the Employee Awards or any proceeds received from the sale of those shares.

Variation of Share Capital

If prior to the exercise of an Employee Awards, the Company undergoes a reorganization of capital or bonus issue, the terms of the Employee Awards will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable listing rules.
