EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
1. INTRODUCTION
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of Pointerra Limited (“ the Company ”) in connection with the business to be conducted at the annual general meeting of Shareholders to be held at Ground Floor, London House, 216 St Georges Terrace, Perth, Western Australia on Monday, 6 December 2021 at 2.00pm (WST).
This Explanatory Statement forms part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Meeting.
1.1 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
In accordance with the requirements of the Company’s Constitution and the Corporations Act, the 2021 Annual Report will be tabled at the annual general meeting. Shareholders will have the opportunity of discussing the Annual Report and making comments and raising queries in relation to the Report. There is no requirement for a formal resolution on this item.
Representatives from the Company’s auditors, Hall Chadwick WA Audit Pty Ltd, will be present to take shareholders’ questions and comments about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report.
1.2 Annual Report Online
Shareholders who have not elected to receive a hard copy of the Annual Report can access the report on the company’s website at www.pointerra.com.
2. ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT – Resolution 1
2.1 General
Pursuant to section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2021 contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports on the remuneration arrangements in place for the Directors and Key Management Personnel.
Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. Of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.
2.2 Voting consequences
If at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( “Spill Resolution ”) at the second annual general meeting.
If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene the extraordinary general meeting (“ Spill Meeting ”) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – Resolution 2
3.1 General
Resolution 2 relates to the re-election of Mr Paul Farrell as a Director.
ASX Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.
The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.
Mr Paul Farrell, who has served as a director since 9 November 2018, and was last re-elected on 28 November 2019, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships
Mr Farrell is the Managing Director of NGIS Australia, which was established in 1993 and has grown from being a boutique map maker and digitising house to an integrated provider of mapping and location-based technology solutions to large enterprise nationally and internationally, working with globally recognised technology companies such as Google.
Mr Farrell has tertiary qualifications in both Science and Management, completing an MBA in 2005. Outside of NGIS, Paul is involved and has sat on many private, government and research boards including the WA Regional Development Trust and Frontier SI. He is a past National Chairman of SIBA (Spatial Industry Business Association) and Vice-Chair of the AIIA (Australian Information Industry Association) in WA.
3.3 Independence
If re-elected the Board considers Mr Farrell will be an independent Director.
3.4 Board recommendation
The Board has reviewed Mr Farrell’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Farrell’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, all the Directors, except for Mr Farrell, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
4. RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES (8 June 2021) – Resolution 3
4.1 General
On 30 April 2021, the Company announced the proposed acquisition of the business assets and undertakings (“ Acquisition ”) of US drone based digital asset management business, Airovant LLC. The agreed purchase consideration was US$1 million to be satisfied by the issue of 2,583,092 Pointerra Shares to the vendors of the business assets and undertakings of Airovant LLC .
On 7 June 2021, the Company announced the settlement of the Acquisition, for the issue of 2,583,092 Shares (“ Consideration Shares ”). The number of Consideration Shares issued was based on the closing price of Pointerra Shares and the US$/A$ exchange rate at the date of execution of the Business and Assets Sale Agreement (4 June 2021).
The 2,583,092 Consideration Shares were issued on 8 June 2021. 1,292,546 Consideration Shares are subject to voluntary escrow for a period of 12 months from the date of issue.
The Company issued the Shares utilising its 15% share issue capacity (see Section 4.2 for more information on Listing Rule 7.1 and the 15% share issue capacity). By doing so, the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval within those limits was accordingly reduced.
Pointerra Limited
Page 6
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification for the prior issue of the Share to the vendors of the business assets and undertakings of Airovant LLC. It is proposed as an ordinary resolution and will be passed if more than 50% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote are in favour of the Resolution.
4.2 Listing Rules 7.1and7.4
Subject to a number of exceptions, in general terms, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number of Equity Securities (for example, shares, options and convertible notes) that a listed company may issue or agree to issue without shareholder approval in any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period (“ 15% Capacity ”).
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where an entity 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 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.
4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
By approving the ratification of this previous issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future within the limits of Listing Rules 7.1 up to its 15% capacity, without needing to seek further Shareholder approval. The Consideration Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Consideration Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Shares.
4.4 Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
The following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:
-
(a) 2,583,092 Shares were issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 15% Capacity on 8 June 2021;
-
(b) 2,583,092 Shares were issued at $0.505 per Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Consideration Shares;
-
(c) the Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally with all other Shares on issue in the Company;
-
(d) the Shares were issued to the vendors (none of whom are related parties of the Company) of the business assets and undertakings of Airovant LLC in equal proportions:

(g) The Consideration Shares were issued under the Business and Assets Sale Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Business and Assets Sale Agreement is set out in Schedule 1.
4.5 Voting exclusion

4.6 Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
5. APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE - Resolution 4
5.1 Background
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for an additional placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A ( 7.1A Mandate ).
If approved, Resolution 4 would enable the Company to issue additional Equity Securities (calculated below) over a 12-month period without obtaining Shareholder approval.
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 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 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%.
An “eligible entity” means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
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 $288,067,637 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 27 October 2021.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
Information on the 7.1A Mandate
(a) Quoted securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in the same class as an existing class of Equity Securities of the Company that are quoted on ASX.
Pointerra Limited
Page 8
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has one class of Equity Securities quoted on ASX, being its Shares (ASX Code: 3DP) .
(b) Formula for 7.1A Mandate
If this Resolution 4 is passed, the Company may issue or agree to issue, during the 12month period after this Meeting, the number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, set out below:
7.1A Mandate = (A x D) – E
where:
-
A = the number of fully-paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:
-
plus the number of fully-paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16, or 17;
-
• plus the number of fully-paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
-
plus the number of fully-paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4;
-
plus the number of partly-paid ordinary securities that became fully-paid in the relevant period;
-
less the number of fully-paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period;
-
D = 10%; and
-
E = the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.
5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed approval of the 7.1A Mandate:
(a) Period for which the approval will be valid
The 7.1A Mandate would commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
Pointerra Limited
Page 9
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after this Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or
-
(iii) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
(b) Minimum price at which equity securities may be issued
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of the Company’s securities and issued for cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP for securities in that class, calculated over the 15 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 by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the above date, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(c) Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of equity securities may be used
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for cash consideration only, and the Company intends to apply funds raised towards the global commercialisation of its proprietary 3D technology solution to support digital asset management activities across a range of sectors; potential new asset or investment acquisitions; and general working capital (including corporate and administration costs).
(d)
Risk of economic and voting dilution
If Resolution 4 is passed and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate, there is a risk to existing Shareholders of economic and voting dilution, including the risk that:
-
(i) the market price for Equity Securities in the same class may be significantly lower on the issue date of the new Equity Securities than on the date of this Meeting; and
-
(ii) the new Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for Equity Securities in the same class on the issue date.
The table below identifies the potential dilution to existing Shareholders following the issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate (based on the formula in 7.1A.2 as set out above) using different variables for the number of issued Shares and the market price of Shares.
The numbers are calculated on the basis of the latest available market price of Shares before the date of this Notice and the current number of Shares on issue.

135,561,241 | $28,874,544 | $57,613,527 | $115,227,054 |
Notes: The above table has been prepared on the following bases/assumptions:
-
There are currently 677,806,204 on issue as at the date of this Notice.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing market price of Shares on the ASX on 27 October 2021 being $0.425.
-
The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate.
-
Existing Shareholders’ holdings do not change from the date of this Meeting to the date of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate.
-
The Company issues Shares only and does not issue other types of Equity Securities (such as Options) under the 7.1A Mandate.
-
The impact of additional issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or following the exercise of Options is not included in the calculations.
-
Economic dilution for the table above is calculated using the following formula:
ED = (MP - (NMC / TS)) / MP
where:
-
MC = market capitalisation prior to issue of Equity Securities, being the MP multiplied by the number of Shares on issue;
-
MP = the market price of Shares traded on ASX, expressed as in dollars;
-
NMC = notional market capitalisation, being the market capitalisation plus the NSV;
-
NSV = new security value, being the number of new Equity Securities multiplied by the issue price of those Equity Securities; and
-
TS = total Shares on issue following new Equity Security issue.
-
(e) Allocation policy
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed issue. The allottees will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors such as:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing Shareholders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the new Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
Pointerra Limited
Page 11
- (iv) advice from corporate and other advisors.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not identified any proposed allottees of Equity Securities using the 7.1A Mandate. However, the eventual allottees may include existing substantial Shareholders, other Shareholders and/or new investors.
None of the allottees will be a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company, except as permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.2. Existing Shareholders may or may not be entitled to subscribe for Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate and it is possible that their shareholding will be diluted.
(f)
Issues under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in previous 12 months
The Company did not seek or obtain approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 25 November 2020 ( Previous Approval ). Accordingly, no issues have been made under Listing Rule 7.1A in the past 12 months.
5.3 Voting Exclusion
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.
5.4 Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 as it will give the Company the flexibility to raise and fund necessary working capital whilst preserving the Company’s cash reserves
6. ADOPTION OF SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN - RESOLUTION 5
6.1 General
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Securities Incentive Plan” ( Securities Plan ) and for the issue of securities under the Securities Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).
The objective of the Securities Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company considers that the adoption of the Securities Plan and the future issue of securities under the Securities Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
6.2
Listing Rules 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)
As summarised in Section 5.1 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.
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.
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 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Securities Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years from the date of the Meeting. The issue of any
Pointerra Limited
Page 12
securities to eligible participants under the Securities Plan (up to the maximum number of securities stated in Section 6.3(c) 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 Securities 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 5 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Securities 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 the securities.
6.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:

-
(c) align the interests of Eligible Participants with Shareholders by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to earn rewards via an equity interest in the Company based on creating Shareholder value.
5.
Eligibility, invitation and application
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for any (or any combination) of the different types of Awards on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.
On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Awards 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.
- Terms of Awards
The terms and conditions of Awards offered or granted under these Rules to each Eligible Participant will be determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion.

The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Eligible Participant the relevant number of Awards, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
Pointerra Limited
Page 16
8. Terms of Options and Performance Rights
Each Option and/or Performance Right ( 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 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 unless otherwise determined by the Board. 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.
9.
Vesting of a Convertible Security
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.
10. Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise
To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Options (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Security (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice.
The Board may determine in its sole and absolute discretion that a Participant will not be required to provide payment of the exercise price of Options, but that on exercise of the Options the Company will only allot and issue or transfer that number of Plan Shares to the Participant that are equal in value to the difference between the exercise price otherwise payable in relation to the Options and the then Market Value of the Plan Shares as at the time of the exercise (with the number of Plan Shares rounded down).
An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Value means:
-
(a) in relation to Options and Performance Rights, a value determined by application of a valuation methodology approved by the Board; and
-
(b) in relation to Share Awards, Loan Funded Shares and Plan Shares, the 'volume weighted average market price' (as that term is defined in the Listing Rules) per Share during the previous five trading days.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
Options must be exercised in multiples of 100 unless fewer than 100 Options are held by a Participant or the Board otherwise agrees.
Pointerra Limited
Page 17
11. 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 Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
12.
Forfeiture
The Board may determine, and set out in the Invitation, Forfeiture Conditions which apply to the Awards. Where such Forfeiture Conditions are met, unless the Board in its sole discretion determines otherwise, all unvested and vested Convertible Securities will automatically lapse and all unvested and vested Share Award or Loan Fund Shares will automatically be surrendered.
In addition, where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breaches his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all Awards to be forfeited.
13. Change of control
If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, and unless the Board determines otherwise in its sole and absolute discretion, Awards granted will vest where vesting conditions and performance hurdles have been satisfied on a pro rata basis based on the period which has elapsed from the grant date to the change of control date. As determined by the Board, any Convertible Securities which do not vest in this way will automatically lapse and any Share Awards or Loan Funded Shares will automatically be surrendered.
14.
Adjustment for capital reconstructions
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 number of Awards each Participant holds and the exercise price of Options will be adjusted in accordance with the Listing Rules.
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.
15. Participation rights 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.
16. Share Awards
The Board may from time to time make an invitation to an Eligible Participant to acquire Share Awards under the Plan. The Board will determine in its sole and absolute discretion the acquisition price (if any) for each Share Award which may be nil. The Share Awards may be subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions as determined by the Board.
Where Share Awards granted to a Participant are subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions, the Participant's Share Awards will be subject to certain restrictions until the applicable performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions (if any) have been satisfied, waived by the Board or are deemed to have been satisfied under these Rules.
Following the issue of a vesting notification to the Participant, the Share Awards held by the Participant will no longer be subject to any restrictions and may be transferred or sold by the Participant, subject to compliance with applicable laws, the Company’s Securities Trading Policy and the terms of the Plan.
Pointerra Limited
Page 18
17. Loan Funded Shares
The Board may from time to time make an invitation to an Eligible Participant to acquire Loan Funded Shares under the Plan. The Board will determine in its sole and absolute discretion the acquisition price (if any) for each Loan Funded Share which may be nil. The Loan Funded Shares may be subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions as determined by the Board.
Where Loan Funded Shares granted to a Participant are subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions, the Participant's Loan Funded Shares will be subject to certain restrictions until the applicable performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions (if any) have been satisfied, waived by the Board or are deemed to have been satisfied under these Rules.
Following the issue of a vesting notification to the Participant, the Loan Funded Shares held by the Participant will no longer be subject to any restrictions and may be transferred or sold by the Participant, subject to compliance with applicable laws, the Company’s Securities Trading Policy and the terms of the Plan.
When the Company makes an Invitation to an Eligible Participant to acquire Loan Funded Shares, the Company will also offer the Eligible Participant a Loan on terms and conditions to be determined by the Board, for the amount of the acquisition price of the Loan Funded Shares, for the purposes of acquiring all or part of the Loan Funded Shares the subject of the invitation.
The loan amount may accrue interest as determined by the Board.
A Participant may repay all or part of a Loan at any time before the expiration of the Loan term, and at the expiration of the Loan term the Participant must immediately repay all of the Loan.
18. Rights Attaching to Share Awards, Loan Funded Shares and Plan Shares
Any Share Awards, Loan Funded Shares and/or Plan Shares allotted, issued or transferred by the Company to a Participant under the Plan will rank equally with all existing Shares on and from the date of allotment, issue or transfer, including in respect of all rights and bonus issues.
A Participant will have a vested and indefeasible entitlement to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on any Share Awards, Loan Funded Shares and/or Plan Shares which, at the record date for determining entitlement to those dividends, are standing to the account of the Participant.
The Participant may also participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Share Awards, Loan Funded Shares (provided the Loan has been fully repaid) and/or Plan Shares held by the Participant.
19.
Disposal restrictions
If the invitation provides that any Share Awards, Loan Funded Shares and/or Plan Shares held by any Participants 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.
For so long as Share Awards, Loan Funded Shares and/or Plan Shares held by any Participants are subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:
-
(a) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that security; or
-
(b) take any action if to do so would contravene applicable laws.
At all times, the Participant must comply with the Company’s Share Trading Policy.
Pointerra Limited
Page 19
20. Buy-back
Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy-back Awards in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
21. Compliance with applicable law
No act will be done or determination made in accordance with the Plan rules where to do so would be a breach of any applicable laws, and where any such act is done or determination made it will be considered void and to the extent possible be unwound and of no effect in respect of Awards.
22. Amendment of Plan
Subject to the following paragraph, the Listing Rules and the Company’s constitution, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Awards that have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by the relevant Participant.
23. Plan duration
The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, the Board must consider and endeavour to ensure that there is fair and equitable treatment of all Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Convertible Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Convertible Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
