On 19 December 2023 and pursuant to the Placement, the Company issued the first tranche of 24,000,000 Placement Shares as follows:

2.1 General

As set out in Section 1.1 the Company has agreed to issue the Initial Consideration Shares and Deferred Consideration Shares (together, the Consideration Shares ) to the Vendors.

2.2 Listing Rule 7.1

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

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, or if Resolution 2 is passed but not Resolution 1 (Resolution 2 being conditional on the passing of Resolution 1), the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Shares and may need to consider alternative methods to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Implementation Agreement.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Consideration Shares.

2.4 Waiver from the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.3.4

Listing Rule 7.3.4 requires a notice of meeting with a resolution to approve the issue of equity securities to state that the securities will be issued within three months of the date of the shareholder’s meeting. The Company has obtained a waiver from the ASX to the extent necessary to permit the Company to not state in this Notice that the Deferred Consideration Shares will be issued within three months of the date of the Meeting, subject to the following conditions:

  • (g) for any annual reporting period during which any of the Deferred Consideration Shares have been issued or any of them remain to be issued, the Company’s annual report sets out the number of Deferred Consideration Shares issued in that annual reporting period, the number of Deferred Consideration Shares that remain to be issued and the basis on which the Deferred Consideration Shares may be issued.

2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Assuming no Options are exercised, no convertible securities are converted or other Shares issued and the maximum number of Consideration Shares are issued, if Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the number of Shares on issue would increase from 131,072,549 (being the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 259,878,149 and the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by approximately 50%.

3. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF T1 PLACEMENT SHARES UNDER PLACEMENT - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

3.1 General

As summarised in Section 1.3, the Company issued 13,292,750 T1 Placement Shares pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 3) and 10,707,250 Shares T1 Placement Shares pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate (being the subject of Resolution 4) to the unrelated Placement Participants (for avoidance of doubt, this does not include Director, Mr Egerton-Warburton) ( Unrelated Placement Participants ).

The issue of the T1 Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

3.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

As summarised in Section 2.2 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.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the 2023 AGM.

The issue of the T1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the T1 Placement Shares.

13

3.3 Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the T1 Placement Shares.

Resolutions 3 and 4 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the T1 Placement Shares.

3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed, the T1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the T1 Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 3 and 4 are not passed, the T1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the T1 Placement Shares.

3.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 3 and 4:

  • (a) the T1 Placement Shares were issued to the Unrelated Placement Participants, being professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of PAC Partners. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved PAC Partners seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from non-related parties of the Company;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, 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;

  • (c) 24,000,000 T1 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:

  • (i) 13,292,750 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 3); and

14

  • (ii) 10,707,250 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 4);

  • (d) the T1 Placement Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (e) the T1 Placement Shares were issued on 19 December 2023;

  • (f) the issue price was $0.05 per T1 Placement Share under both the issue of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the T1 Placement Shares;

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the T1 Placement Shares is set out in Section 1.3; and

  • (h) the T1 Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement.

4. RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE T2 PLACEMENT SHARES AND PLACEMENT OPTIONS TO UNRELATED PLACEMENT PARTICIPANTS

4.1 General

As set out in Section 1.3, subject to Shareholder approval, the Company will issue:

  • (a) 14,000,000 T2 Placement Shares (being the subject of Resolution 5); and

  • (b) 19,000,000 Placement Options (being the subject of Resolution 6) ( Unrelated Placement Options ),

to the Unrelated Placement Participants.

4.2 Listing Rule 7.1

As summarised in Section 2.2 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 T2 Placement Shares and Unrelated Placement Options falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 5 and 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the T2 Placement Shares and Unrelated Placement Options. In addition, the issue of the T2 Placement Shares and Unrelated 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 Resolutions 5 and 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the T2 Placement Shares and Unrelated Placement Options. The Company may need to consider alternative methods to satisfy its obligations under the Placement.

15

Resolutions 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the T2 Placement Shares and Unrelated Placement Options.

4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 and 6:

  • (a) the T2 Placement Shares and Unrelated Placement Options will be issued to the Unrelated Placement Participants, being professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of PAC Partners.

  • (f) the T2 Placement Shares and Unrelated Placement Options will be issued no later than 3 months 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 intended that issue of the T2 Placement Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (g) the issue price of the T2 Placement Shares will be $0.05 per T2 Placement Share and nil per Unrelated Placement Option as the Unrelated Placement Options will be issued free attaching with the Placement Shares issued to the Unrelated Placement Participants on a 1 for 2 basis. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the T2 Placement Shares and Unrelated Placement Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Unrelated Placement Options);

  • (h) the purpose of the issue of the T2 Placement Shares and Unrelated Placement Options are set out in Section 1.3;

5. RESOLUTION 7 –APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT SECURITIES FOR CASH ($100,000) TO RELATED PARTY – BARNABY EGERTON-WARBURTON

5.1 General

As set out in Section 1.3 above, Director, Mr Egerton-Warburton wishes to participate in the Placement on the same terms as Unrelated Placement Participants ( Participation ).

Accordingly, Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 2,000,000 Placement Shares ( Participation Shares ) and 1,000,000 Placement Options ( Participation Options ) (together, Participation Securities ) to Mr EgertonWarburton (or his nominee/s), as a result of the Participation on the terms set out below.

5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Participation will result in the issue of the Participation Securities which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Egerton-Warburton, is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Egerton-Warburton who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Participation Securities will be issued to Mr Egerton-Warburton (or their nominee/s) on the same terms as Placement Shares and Placement Options issued to the Unrelated Placement Participants and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

5.3

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:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

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

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has

17

nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

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

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

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Participation 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 Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Participation Securities under the Participation 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) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.3 above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Participation Securities in respect of the Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Participation Securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Participation Securities under the Participation and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.

For avoidance of doubt, Resolution 7 is independent of any other Resolutions in this Notice.

5.5 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 7:

  • (a) the Participation Securities will be issued to Mr Egerton-Warburton (or his nominee/s), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Mr Egerton-Warburton is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Participation Securities to be issued to Mr Egerton-Warburton (or his nominee/s) is 2,000,000 Participation Shares and 1,000,000 Participation Options;

  • (c) the Participation Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

18

  • (d) the Participation Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2, being on the same terms as the Unrelated Placement Options;

  • (e) the Participation Securities 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 anticipated the Shares will be issued on the same date;

  • (f) the issue price will be $0.05 per Related Party Share, being the same issue price as Unrelated Placement Shares and nil per Unrelated Placement Option as the Unrelated Placement Options will be issued free attaching with the Participation Shares on a 1 for 2 basis. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Participation Securities (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Participation Options);

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of Participation Securities under the Participation is to raise capital, which the Company intends to use in the manner set out in Section 1.3 above;

  • (h) the Participation Securities to be issued under the Participation are not intended to remunerate or incentivise Mr Egerton-Warburton;

  • (i) the Participation Securities are not being issued under an agreement; and

  • (j) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 7 of the Notice.

6. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE BROKER OPTIONS TO PAC PARTNERS

6.1 General

As set out in Section 1.4, the Company agreed to issue 9,000,000 Broker Options to PAC Partners in consideration for lead manager services to the Placement.

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1

As summarised in Section 2.2 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 Broker Options falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

6.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 8 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 8 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options and the Company may need to consider alternative methods to satisfy its obligations under the Lead Manager Mandate.

19

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Broker Options.

6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 8:

7.2 Director Recommendation

  • (a) Mr John Hebenton recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 9 and 10 for the reasons set out in Sections 7.6(e) and 7.6(k). In forming their recommendation, Mr Hebenton considered the experience of the Related Parties, the current market price of Shares, the current market standards and practices when determining the number of Incentive Performance Rights to be issued to each of the Related Parties, as well as the milestones and expiry date of those Incentive Performance Rights; and

  • (b) each Director (other than Mr Hebenton) has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 9 and 10 on the basis that all of the Directors (other than Mr Hebenton) (or their nominees) are to be issued Incentive

21

Performance Rights should Resolutions 9 and 10 be passed. For this reason, the Directors (other than Mr Hebenton) do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 9 and 10 of this Notice.

7.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 5.2 above.

The issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

As the Incentive Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors other than Mr John Hebenton, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

7.4 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:

  • 10.14.1 a director of the entity;

  • 10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or

  • 10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.

The issue of Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 9 and 10 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14.

7.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 9 and 10 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties under the Incentive Plan within three years 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 Incentive Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 9 and 10 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties under the Incentive Plan and the Company may need to consider alternative means to incentive the Directors which may not be preferable for the Company.

22

7.6 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

then, to the extent Incentive Performance Rights have not converted into Shares due to satisfaction of the relevant Vesting Conditions, Incentive Performance Rights will accelerate vesting conditions and will automatically convert into Shares on a one-for-one basis.]

If the conversion of an Incentive Performance Right under paragraphs (c) or (n) would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that Incentive Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition.

36

assessing whether a conversion of an Incentive Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:

  • (i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of an Incentive Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of an Incentive Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and

  • (ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (o)(i) within 7 days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Incentive Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Incentive Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.

(p) No rights to return of capital

An Incentive Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

(q)

Rights on winding up

An Incentive Performance Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.

(r) ASX Listing Rule compliance

The Board reserves the right to amend any term of the Incentive Performance Rights to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules.

An Incentive Performance Right gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and conditions and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.

SCHEDULE 5 – TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN

A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan is set out below:

  • (a) ( Eligible Participant ): Eligible Participant means a person that has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan from time to time and is an “ESS participant” (as that term is defined in Division 1A) in relation to the Company or an associated entity of the Company. This relevantly includes, amongst others:

  • (i) an employee or director of the Company or an individual who provides services to the Company;

  • (ii) an employee or director of an associated entity of the Company or an individual who provides services to such an associated entity;

  • (iii) a prospective person to whom paragraphs (i) or (ii) apply;

  • (iv) a person prescribed by the relevant regulations for such purposes; or

  • (v) certain related persons on behalf of the participants described in paragraphs (i) to (iv) (inclusive).

  • (b) ( Maximum allocation ) The Company must not make an offer of Securities under the Incentive Plan in respect of which monetary consideration is payable (either upfront, or on exercise of convertible securities) where:

  • (i) the total number of Incentive Plan Shares (as defined in paragraph (m) below) that may be issued or acquired upon exercise of the convertible securities offered; plus

  • (ii) the total number of Incentive Plan Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made under the Incentive Plan at any time during the previous 3 year period,

would exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer or such other limit as may be specified by the relevant regulations or the Company’s Constitution from time to time.

The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Incentive Plan for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13 will be as approved by Shareholders from time to time ( ASX Limit ). This means that, subject to the following paragraph, the Company may issue up to the ASX Limit under the Incentive Plan without seeking Shareholder approval and without reducing its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company will require prior Shareholder approval for the acquisition of equity securities under the Incentive Plan to Directors, their associates and any other person whose relationship with the Company or a Director or a Director’s associate is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by Shareholders. The issue of Securities with Shareholder approval will not count towards the ASX Limit.

  • (c) ( Purpose ): The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to:

  • (i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;

40

  • (ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and

  • (iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.

  • (d) ( Incentive Plan administration ): The Incentive Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Incentive Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to compliance with applicable laws and the Listing Rules. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.

  • (e) ( Eligibility, invitation and application ): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Incentive Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. An invitation issued under the Incentive Plan will comply with the disclosure obligations pursuant to Division 1A.

On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

A waiting period of at least 14 days will apply to acquisitions of Securities for monetary consideration as required by the provisions of Division 1A.

  • (f) ( Grant of Securities ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the successful applicant (Participant) the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Incentive Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

  • (g) ( Terms of Convertible Securities ): Each ‘Convertible Security’ represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan.

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

  • (h) ( Vesting of Convertible Securities ): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.

  • (i) ( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and,

41

subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.

At the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, and subject to Board approval, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Incentive Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Incentive Plan rules.

  • (j) ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Incentive Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.

  • (k) ( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Incentive Plan rules:

  • (i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and

  • (ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.

  • (l) ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.

42

  • (m) ( Rights attaching to Incentive Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Incentive Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, (Incentive Plan Shares) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Incentive Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment Incentive Plan operated by the Company in respect of Incentive Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Incentive Plan Shares.

  • (n) ( Disposal restrictions on Securities ): If the invitation provides that any Incentive Plan Shares or Convertible Securities are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.

  • (o) ( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

  • (p) ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.

  • (q) ( Amendment of Incentive Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Incentive Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Incentive Plan and determine that any amendments to the Incentive Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

No amendment to any provision of the Incentive Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.

  • (r) ( Incentive Plan duration ): The Incentive Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Incentive Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Incentive Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.

43

If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
