(ii) 10,000,000 Related Party Options to Mr Richards (or his nominee) (Resolution 5).
The full terms of the Related Party Options to Mr Gordon and Mr Richards are set out in Schedule 1.
(c) Directors recommendation and basis for financial benefit
The Board currently consists of Mr Neville Martin (Chairman), Mr Ian Gordon (Non-Executive Director), Mr David Richards (Non-Executive Director) and Mr David Lindh (Non-Executive Director).
By Resolutions 4 and 5, the Company is proposing to issue the Related Party Options to two out of four Directors.
10
The primary purpose of the grant of the Related Party Options to Mr Gordon and Mr Richards is to conserve cash for exploration and appraisal by remunerating partly in equity.
Under the Company’s current circumstances, the Directors (with Mr Gordon and Mr Richards abstaining in relation to their respective Resolution due to their material personal interest in the outcome) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5 for the following reasons:
-
(i) the Related Party Options are unquoted, therefore, the issue of the Related Party Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;
-
(ii) the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;
-
(iii) the grant of the Related Party Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to reward Directors without using its cash reserves and provides a better alternative than using cash forms of remuneration to the Related Parties; and
-
(iv) because of the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the Related Parties in respect of an issue of Related Party Options. This is also beneficial to the Company as it means the Related Parties are not required to immediately sell the Related Party Options 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.
In forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each Related Party, the current market price of the Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Options to be granted as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Related Party Options. The number of Related Party Options to be issued and the terms were negotiated by the Directors independent of the particular Director to be issued the Options.
The number of Related Party Options to be granted to each Related Party is a significant number, however, the Related Parties are high calibre executives with substantial experience in the mining industry and the grant of Related Party Options of this magnitude is considered by the Board to be reasonable in the circumstances.
The Company acknowledges that the issue of the Related Party Options to Mr Gordon and Mr Richards as nonexecutive Directors may be contrary to the guidelines for non-executive remuneration in recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. However, the Board considers the issue of the Related Party Options to be reasonable in the circumstances given the Company’s size and stage of development and the importance of maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.
(d) Dilution
The passing of the Resolutions would have the effect of granting the Directors the subject of Resolutions 4 and 5 (of their nominees) a total of 20,000,000 Options.
If any of the Options are exercised into Shares, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders. If all of the 20,000,000 Options were exercised into Shares, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of the existing Shareholders by approximately 5.88% (based on the total number of Shares currently on issue being 340,186,644).
The actual dilution will depend on the extent of any further equity raised by the Company and whether the Options are exercised.
(e) Remuneration of the Directors
The total remuneration for each of the Directors the subject of Resolutions 4 and 5 is set out below.
The current remuneration package received by Ian Gordon is $40,000 per annum inclusive of statutory superannuation.
The current remuneration package received by David Richards is $40,000 per annum inclusive of statutory
11
superannuation
(f) Existing relevant interests
At the date of this Notice, the Directors the subject of Resolutions 4 and 5 do not hold any relevant interest in the securities of the Company.
(g) Trading history
The following table sets out the details of the highest, lowest and the latest closing market price of the Company’s Shares trading on the ASX over the last 12 months:
| Highest Price | Lowest Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Closing Price | $0.045 | $0.007 |
| Date | 19 October 2020 | 31 March 2020 |
(h) Valuation of the Related Party Options
The Related Party Options will not be quoted on the ASX.
The value of the Related Party Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 2.
(i) Other information
The Directors do not consider that there are opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Related Party Options.
The Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 4 and 5.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options to Messrs Gordon and Richards 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 Related Party Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Related Party Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 4 and 5 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options to Messrs Gordon and Richards and the Company may be required to re-negotiate the remuneration arrangements with the Related Parties, which may require additional cash payments and affect the Company’s available cash position.
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.11
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the Company provides the following information:
-
(a) the Related Party Options will be issued to Mr Ian Gordon and Mr Mark Richards (or their nominees); (b) the maximum number of Related Party Options to be issued is:
-
(i) 10,000,000 to Mr Ian Gordon (or nominee); and
-
(ii) 10,000,000 to Mr David Richards (or nominee).
-
(c) the Related Party Options will be issued as part of Mr Gordon and Mr Richards’ remuneration with an exercise price of $0.05 each and an expiry date of 31 December 2022;
12
-
(d) the Related Party Options will be issued no later than 1 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) and it is expected that the issue of the Incentive Options will occur on the same date;

-
(f) the Related Party Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1; and
-
(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
6. Resolution 6 - Ratification of prior issue of Placement Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1
Background
On 8 July 2020, the Company announced a placement of 21,000,000 ordinary shares (‘ Placement Shares’ ) and 10,500,000 attaching Options (‘ Placement Options ’) to sophisticated and professional investors at an issue price of $0.012 (‘ Placement ’) together with a 2 for 3 non-renounceable pro rata rights offer to Shareholders which included one free attaching listed Option for every 2 shares subscribed (‘ Rights Offer ’).
The Company issued a total of 16,961,455 of the Placement Shares and 10,500,000 Placement Options on 14 July 2020 and 19 August 2020 respectively, utilising the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 6 is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the portion of the Placement Shares and the Placement Options issued under Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any Equity Securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an “eligible entity” may issue up to 10% of its issued share capital without shareholder approval in the 12 month period following its annual general meeting, provided that shareholder approval is obtained by special resolution to do so at the annual general meeting. This issuing capacity is in addition to the capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. An “eligible entity” under the Listing Rules is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company satisfied these criteria.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of Equity Securities made without prior approval under Listing Rule 7.1 can be treated as having been made with approval if shareholders subsequently approve it and the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. Issues made without shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A can also be ratified under Listing Rule 7.4.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 6 is passed, the portion of the Placement Shares set out above and the Placement Options 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 issue date.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the portion of the Placement Shares set out above and the Placement Options 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 issue date.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:
-
(a) a total of 16,961,455 Shares and 10,500,000 Options were issued on 14 July 2020 and 19 August 2020 respectively, utilising the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1;
-
(b) the issue price for the Shares was $0.012 per Share;
-
(c) the Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
13
-
(d) the Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3;
-
(e) the Shares and Options were issued to sophisticated and professional investors and none of those investors were related parties of the Company;
-
(f) the funds raised from this issue will be used to fund exploration at the Mt Venn Gold Project and the Musgrave NickelCopper Project; and
-
(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
Directors recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

Resolution 7 is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the portion of the Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Listing Rule 7.4
A summary of Listing Rule 7.4 is set out in Section 6 above.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 7 is passed, the Placement Shares referred to above 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 issue date.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Placement Shares referred to above will be including 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 issue date.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

8. Resolution 8 – Approval of Incentive Plan
Background
14
Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b), to approve the Company’s Incentive Plan (‘Plan’) and to enable the securities granted under the Plan, and Shares issued upon the vesting or exercise of such securities, to be exempted from contributing towards the rolling annual limit of 15% of issued Shares prescribed by Listing Rule 7.1.
A summary of the Plan, to be approved pursuant to this Resolution 8, is set out in Schedule 4. In addition, a copy of the Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Plans can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (Jonathan Lindh). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
The Plan is intended to assist the Company to attract and retain key executives and employees. The Board believes the Plan will achieve the following key objectives:
-
(a) establish a method by which Eligible Participants can participate in the future growth and profitability of the Company;
-
(b) provide an incentive and reward for Eligible Participants for their contributions to the Company;
-
(c) attract and retain a high standard of managerial and technical personnel for the benefit of the Company; and
-
(d) align the interests of Eligible Participants more closely with the interests of Shareholders, by providing an opportunity for Eligible Participants to hold an equity interest in the Company.
Listing Rule 7.2
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at that commencement of that 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b) operates as one of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b) is that any issues of securities under the Plan are treated as having been made with approval of shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. Approval under Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b) will be effective for a period of three years.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to issue the securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Plan to eligible participants, however, 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 the securities.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2
In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b), the Company provides the following information:
-
(a) a summary of the material terms of the Plan is set out in Schedule 4;
-
(b) as the Plan is being approved for the first time, no securities have been issued under it;
-
(c) the maximum number of Performance Rights and Options proposed to be issued under the Plan following approval of the Plan will be no more than 5% of the issued capital of the Company (on a fully diluted basis); and
-
(d) a voting exclusion statement has been included in the Notice for the purposes of Resolution 8.
Directors recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.
9. Resolution 9 – Increase in Non-Executive Director Remuneration Pool
Background
Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of directors’ fees payable to all of its non-executive directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities. Article 62.1 of the Constitution also requires that remuneration payable to the non-executive Directors will not exceed the sum initially set by the Constitution and
15
subsequently increased by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to all of the non-executive Directors is currently set at $300,000. Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval to increase this figure by $100,000 to $400,000. This amount includes superannuation contributions made by the Company for the benefit of non-executive Directors and any fees which a non-executive Director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits. It does not include reimbursement of genuine out of pocket expenses, genuine “special exertion” fees paid in accordance with the Constitution, or securities issued to a non-executive Director under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 with approval of Shareholders.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees proposed to be paid to the non-executive Directors per annum has been determined after reviewing similar companies listed on ASX and the Directors believe that this level of remuneration is in line with corporate remuneration of similar companies.
Whilst it is not envisaged that the maximum amount sought will be utilised immediately, the proposed limit is requested to ensure that the Company:
-
(a) maintains its capacity to remunerate both existing and any new non-executive directors joining the Board; (b) remunerates its non-executive Directors appropriately for the expectations placed upon them both by the Company and the regulatory environment in which it operates; and
-
(c) has the ability to attract and retain non-executive directors whose skills and qualifications are appropriate for a company of the size and nature of the Company.
No securities have been issued to a Non-Executive Director under LR 10.11 or 10.14 with the approval of Shareholders at any time within the preceding 3 years.
Directors recommendation
Given the interest of the non-executive Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.
10. Resolution 10 - Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
Background
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $12,246,719 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 20 October 2020).
An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has three classes of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: WML), listed WMLOA Options and listed WMLOB Options.
Resolution 10 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at
16
the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 10 for it to be passed.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Shareholders approve Resolution 10, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
If Resolution 10 is not passed, the issue of the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issued without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
Technical information required for ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 10:
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is for a cash consideration which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 ASX trading days of the date in section 10(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) Date of Issue
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
-
(ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid), and
-
(iii) the time and date of the Company’s next Annual General Meeting.
( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).
(c) Risk of voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue. If Resolution 10 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the market price of Shares (‘ Market Price’ ) and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 20 October 2020.
The table below shows the voting dilution impact where the current number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

Table 1 - Assumptions and explanations
-
The Market Price is $0.036 based on the closing price of the shares on ASX on 20 October 2020.
-
The above table only shows the dilutionary effect based on the issue of the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity (assuming only Shares are issued) and not any shares issued under the 15% under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity
-
The issued share capital has been calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at 20 October 2020.
-
• The issue price of the securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity used in the table is the same as the Market Price and does not take into account the discount to the Market Price (if any).
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the Market Price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the Market Price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company has no particular purpose in mind at this time and merely wishes to be prepared for any eventuality. It is most likely that if an issue is made it will be for the purpose of expanding or furthering the development of the Company’s existing exploration projects and/ or for general working capital. Equity Securities can only be issued for cash consideration pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3A.3.
(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
18
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
- (f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2019 Annual General Meeting.
As the Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, the following information is provided to Shareholders, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.6, regarding the Equity Securities issued in the previous 12 months preceding the date of the AGM (that is, since 26 November 2019):

The Woomera Mining Incentive Plan ( Plan ) is governed by the Plan Rules.
Set out below is a summary of the Plan Rules and the full Plan Rules may be found on the Company’s website at - https://www.woomeramining.com.au/corporate/corporate governance/
Objectives
The objectives of the Plan are to:
-
(a) establish a method by which Eligible Participants can participate in the future growth and profitability of the Company;
-
(b) provide an incentive and reward for Eligible Participants for their contributions to the Company;
-
(c) attract and retain a high standard of managerial and technical personnel for the benefit of the Company; and
-
(d) align the interests of Eligible Participants more closely with the interests of Shareholders, by providing an opportunity for Eligible Participants to hold an equity interest in the Company.
Options and Performance Rights
Under the Plan, a Performance Right is a right, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan Rules, to subscribe or apply for and acquire fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( Share ) and similarly an Option is a right, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan Rules, to subscribe or apply for and acquire fully paid ordinary Shares.
Eligible Participant
Persons eligible to participate in the Plan are, in relation to the Group, full-time or part-time employees, executive and nonexecutive Directors, contractors and casual employees (provided that they are or might reasonably be expected to be engaged to work pro-rata equivalent of 40% or more of a comparable full time position). Each such person who participates in the Plan is hereafter referred to as a Participant.
Determination to Participate
The Board may at its discretion determine the number of Options or Performance Rights to be offered to Eligible Participants and, subject to the Plan Rules, the terms and conditions applicable to such Options or Performance Rights.
Exercise or Vesting of Performance Rights or Options
A Participant’s Performance Rights or Options may only be vested or exercised (as applicable), allowing such Participant to then acquire Shares, if the Performance Right or Option has not lapsed in accordance with these Rules and any Exercise Conditions or Vesting Conditions and any other relevant conditions attaching to the Performance Right or Option have been satisfied or waived. An Option may only be exercised by a Participant if the Participant lodges with the Company a duly signed and completed notice of exercise, together with payment of the Exercise Price for the Options being exercised.
Exercise Price
The exercise price means an amount determined by the Board as the subscription price per Share prior to the offer of the Option in accordance with the Plan payable by a Participant on exercise of the Option.
Vesting Conditions
A vesting condition means a condition (excluding an Exercise Condition) determined by the Board relating to a Performance Right which must be satisfied or waived before a Performance Right can vest, and may include certain performance hurdles as determined by the Board.
Issue of Shares
26
Upon the vesting or exercise of a Performance Right or Option (as applicable), the Company must issue or allocate to, or procure the transfer to, the Participant the number of Shares in respect of which Performance Rights or Share Options have been vested or exercised (as applicable). The Company will apply for quotation of Shares issued under the Plan within 10 business days of the date of allotment.
Restrictions on disposal
The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion impose a restriction on the disposal of Shares converted on the exercise or vesting of the Performance Right or Share Option (as applicable) for a period of up to seven years from the date of grant.
Limitations on Issues
The Plan has been prepared to comply with ASIC Class Order [CO14/1000]. As such, offers under the Plan that are made in reliance on the Class Order are limited to the 5% capital limit set out in the Class Order.
Consideration
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, no payment is required for the grant of the Performance Rights or Share Options under the Plan.
Not transferrable
Performance Rights or Share Options granted under the Plan are not transferable and must not be encumbered or otherwise dealt with by a Participant, unless the Board determines otherwise.
Early Cessation of Employment
Unless otherwise determined by the Board:
-
(a) where an Eligible Person ceases to be an employee of the Group before a Performance Right or Share Option has vested or becomes capable of being exercised (as applicable) by reason of his or her death, disability, bona fide redundancy or any other reason approved by the Board and at that time the Eligible Person continues to satisfy any other relevant conditions attaching to the Performance Right or Share Option, the Board will have the discretion to allow some or all of the Performance Rights or Share Options to vest or be exercised (as applicable) or otherwise lapse.
-
(b) if the Eligible Person ceases to be an employee of the Group for any other reason or ceases to satisfy any other relevant conditions attaching to the Performance Right or Share Option, all Performance Rights or Share Options held by the Participant will lapse, unless otherwise determined by the Board.
Reconstructions, Bonus Issues and New Issues
In the event of any reconstruction of the share capital of the Company, the number of Shares to which each Participant is entitled and/or the exercise price of those Performance Rights or Share Options must be reconstructed in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. Performance Rights or Share Options must be reconstructed in a manner which will not result in any additional benefits being conferred on Participants which are not conferred on other shareholders of the Company.
Holders of Performance Rights or Share Options issued under the Plan may only participate in new issues of securities by the Company if they have first exercised their Performance Rights or Share Options within the relevant exercise period and become a shareholder of the Company prior to the relevant record date and are then only entitled to participate in relation to Shares of which they are the registered holder.
If there is a bonus issue the number of Shares over which a Performance Right or Share Option can be exercised will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Performance Right or Share Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.
Security Interests
Without approval from the Board, Participants shall not grant any security interest in or over or otherwise transfer or deal with any Performance Right or Share Options or any interest therein, and any such security interest, transfer or dealing will not be
27
recognised in any manner by the Company.
General
The Plan Rules also contain customary and usual terms having regard to Australian law for dealing with administration and costs of the Plan.
