If the Government restrictions and corresponding decision of the Director's changes prior to the Meeting, the Directors will update Shareholders via the Company's ASX platform.

3. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF PERFORMANCE SHARE RIGHTS PLAN

The Company considers that it is desirable to establish a securities incentive plan pursuant to which the Company can issue Securities to eligible Directors, employees and consultants in order to attract, motivate and retain such persons and to provide them with an incentive to deliver growth and value to all Shareholders.

Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholders approval for the adoption of the Prominence Energy Employee Securities Incentive Plan (Plan) in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b).

Under the Plan, the Board may offer to eligible persons the opportunity to subscribe for such number of Securities in the Company as the Board may decide and on the terms set out in the rules of the Plan, a summary of which is set out in Schedule A.

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 Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.No Securities have been issued under the Plan as it is a new employee incentive plan and has not previously been approved by Shareholders.

The maximum number of Securities that the Company proposes to issue under the Plan following Shareholder approval of the adoption of the Plan is 60,500,000.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, Shareholders must re-approve the Plan and all unissued Securities issuable pursuant thereto every three years.

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees or contractors of the Company and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Performance Rights under the Plan will provide selected employees and contractors with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Any future issues of Performance Rights under the Plan to a related party (other than a Director, as this role is covered by the Plan) or a person whose relation with the company or the related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that shareholder approval should be obtained, will require additional Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to issue 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 1 is not passed, the Company may (subject to the Listing Rules and applicable law) still grant incentives to employees, but those incentives will be taken into account when calculating whether the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 has been reached. The Company will not be able to issue Securities to Directors without

specific Shareholder approval. The Company may also consider alternative remuneration arrangements to incentivise employees.

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

4. Resolutions 2 to 4 – Grant of Plan Performance Rights to Directors

4.1 Background

Resolutions 2 to 4 seeks Shareholder approval to grant a total of 17 million Plan Performance Rights under the Plan (comprising a total of 8.5 million Class A Plan Performance Rights and 8.5 million Class B Plan Performance Rights) to Directors, Mr Ian McCubbing, Mr Patric Glovac and Mr Alexander Parks, as set out in the table below.

Recipient Position Total Plan PerformanceRights
Ian McCubbing (or Nominee) Chairman since 2017 5 million Plan PerformanceRights comprising:•2.5 million Class A PlanPerformance Rights•2.5 million Class B PlanPerformance Rights
Alexander Parks (or Nominee) Managing Director Since2017 8 million Plan PerformanceRights comprising:•4 million Class A PlanPerformance Rights•4 million Class B PlanPerformance Rights
Patric Glovac (or Nominee) Non-executive BoardMember since August 2019 3 million Plan PerformanceRights comprising:•1.5 million Class A PlanPerformance Rights•1.5 million Class B PlanPerformance Rights

The Plan Performance Rights will be granted in two classes (Class A and Class B) with the vesting conditions and expiry dates set out in the table below. Each Plan Performance Right that vests will convert into one fully paid ordinary Share. Any of the Plan Performance Rights that have not vested three years after date of issue will lapse.

Further terms and conditions of the Plan Performance Rights are set out in Schedule B. The principal terms of the Plan are summarised in Schedule A.

Tranche Vesting Condition Expiry Date
Class A 10-dayVWAPofSharesisequalto orgreaterthan$0.025 3 years from date of grant
Class B 10-dayVWAPofSharesisequalto orgreaterthan$0.035 3 years from date of grant

The Plan Performance Rights are to be issued to Mr McCubbing, Mr Glovac and Mr Parks for nil cash consideration as incentive based remuneration in connection with their roles as a Director of the Company. No consideration is payable by the holder upon the vesting of a Plan Performance Right. The Board considers that the incentives provided to Mr McCubbing, Mr Glovac and Mr Parks represented by the grant of the Plan Performance Rights is a cost effective and efficient way for the Company to appropriately incentivise and reward their performance and assist with retaining and motivating the Directors in their current roles, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive such as the payment of cash compensation.

4.2 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • (a) a director of the company;
  • (b) an associate of a director of the company; or
  • (c) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in a Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of the Plan Performance Rights to Mr McCubbing, Mr Glovac and Mr Parks falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 2 to 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the Plan Performance Rights to Mr McCubbing, Mr Glovac and Mr Parks under Listing Rule 10.14.

If Resolutions 1 to 4 are passed, the Company will issue the Plan Performance Rights to Mr McCubbing, Mr Glovac and Mr Parks as set out in this Notice.

If Resolutions 1 to 4 are not passed, the Company will not issue the Plan Performance Rights to Mr McCubbing, Mr Glovac and Mr Parks and will need to determine an alternative form of incentive for the Directors.

Resolutions 2 to 4 are ordinary resolutions and are subject to Shareholders approving the establishment of the Plan pursuant to Resolution 1.

4.3 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 grant of Plan Performance Rights to Mr McCubbing, Mr Glovac and Mr Parks pursuant to Resolutions 2 to 4 constitutes giving a financial benefit. Each of and Mr McCubbing, Mr Glovac and Mr Parks is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

After a review of publicly available information relating to the remuneration structures of ASX listed companies, including those operating in the oil and gas industry, the Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of the above Plan Performance Rights to Mr McCubbing, Mr Glovac and Mr Parks because the grant of these Plan Performance Rights is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.

4.4 Information required by Listing Rule 10.15

5. Resolutions 5 and 6 – Change of company type and company name

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval to change the Company's type from a public no liability company to a public company limited by shares. Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the consequential change in the Company's name from "Prominence Energy NL" to "Prominence Energy Limited".

The Company is currently a public no liability company. The Corporations Act requires that a no liability company has a constitution stating that its sole objects are mining purposes. The Corporations Act also provides that a no liability company must not engage in activities outside its stated purposes and imposes various other restrictions on no liability companies.

Section 162 of the Corporations Act provides that a public no liability company may change to a public company limited by shares provided that all of the Company's issued shares are paid up. The Directors note the Company does not presently have any partly paid shares on issue and does not intend to issue partly paid shares in the near future.

The Company's proposed change from a public no liability company to public company limited by shares will enable the Company's present objectives to be substantially broadened if required in the future from its current sole mining purposes object. The Directors consider the proposed change in the Company's type is desirable for the continuing growth and development of the Company and may help to increase the Company's profile with stakeholders and investors, particularly those outside Australia where there may not be a wide understanding of what the Company's no liability status entails. The change of type of the Company will not create a new legal entity.

To assist Shareholders in voting on Resolutions 5 and 6, the principal differences between a public no liability company and a public company limited by shares is summarised below.

  • (a) In a no liability company, dividends are payable to shareholders in proportion to the shares held by them respectively, irrespective of the amounts paid up on those shares. In a limited liability company, dividends are generally payable in proportion to the amounts paid up on shares.
  • (b) In a no liability company, surplus assets available for distribution to shareholders on a winding up of the Company are distributed to the shareholders in proportion to the shares held by them respectively, irrespective of the amounts paid up on those shares. In a limited liability company, any surplus assets available for distribution to shareholders on a winding up of the Company are generally distributed to shareholders in proportion to the amounts paid up on shares.
  • (c) In a no liability company, holders of partly paid shares have no contractual liability to pay up the unpaid proportion of the issue price of those partly paid shares, although shares will be forfeited if a call on the shares is not paid. In a limited liability company, a holder of partly paid shares has a contractual liability to pay the amounts unpaid on those partly paid shares, as and when those amounts are called up, and any balance owing after the shares have been forfeited and disposed of for non-payment of a call remains as a debt due and payable to the company by the shareholder.

The change in type of the Company will take effect on the date ASIC alters details of the Company's registration to reflect the change in the Company's type.

Resolutions 5 and 6 are each special resolutions and each require approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders.

The proposed change in the Company's name pursuant to Resolution 6 will only take effect if Shareholders approve the change in the Company type pursuant to Resolution 5.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company's type will be changed from a public no liability company to a public company limited by shares, with effect from the ASIC alters details of the Company's registration to reflect the change in the Company's type.

In addition, if Resolutions 5 and 6 are passed, the Company's name will be changed from "Prominence Energy NL" to "Prominence Energy Limited" with effect from the date ASIC alters details of the Company's registration to reflect the change in the Company's type.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, then the Company's type will not be changed and the Company will remain a public no liability company. Also, Resolution 6 will not be passed and the Company's name will remain the same.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 5 and 6.

6. Resolution 7 – Adoption of new Constitution

6.1 General

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the Proposed Constitution as a new constitution to replace the Company's existing Constitution, in accordance with section 136 of the Corporations Act.

The existing Constitution of the Company was adopted in 1995 and is appropriate for a public no liability company.

As noted in Section 5 above, the Company is proposing to change to a public company limited by shares pursuant to Resolution 5. It is proposed that the existing Constitution be replaced by a new Proposed Constitution which is appropriate for a public company limited by shares. In addition, the Proposed Constitution better reflects compliance with current law and enables the Company to better function in accordance with its constituent documents. The Proposed Constitution has been approved by ASX as required under the Listing Rules.

A copy of the Proposed Constitution will be sent to any Shareholder upon request and will also be available for inspection at the registered office of the Company located at Level 2, 30 Richardson Street, West Perth, Western Australia, during normal business hours prior to the Meeting and at the Meeting.

A summary of the provisions of the Proposed Constitution is set out in Section 6.2. The Proposed Constitution includes provisions dealing with proportional takeover bids for the Company's securities in accordance with the Corporations Act. See Section 6.2(f) for further details.

Resolution 7 is subject to Shareholders approving the change in the Company's type from a public no liability company to a public company limited by shares pursuant to Resolution 5.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the new Proposed Constitution will be adopted by the Company with effect from the date ASIC alters details of the Company's registration to reflect the change in the Company's type.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not adopt the Proposed Constitution.

Resolution 7 is a special resolution and requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders.

The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

6.2 Summary of Proposed Constitution

In summary, the Proposed Constitution includes provisions to the following effect:

(a) Shares

The issue of shares and options by the Company is under the control of the Directors, subject to the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and any rights attached to any special class of shares.

(b) Preference Shares

The Corporations Act requires certain rights of preference shares to be either set out in a company's constitution or approved in general meeting by special resolution before preference shares are issued.

The Proposed Constitution sets out a framework of rights for preference share issues from which the Board can determine to allot and issue preference shares, without the need to obtain further shareholder approval every time an allotment of preference shares is proposed. The Proposed Constitution contains the framework as well as specific rights of preference shares as to the repayment of capital, requirements for redemption (if the preference shares are redeemable), participation in surplus assets and profits, voting rights and priority of payment of capital and dividends. Other specific terms, including the dividend amount, the redemption date (if applicable) and redemption amount (if applicable), would be set by the issuing resolution of the Directors.

(c) Reductions of Capital

The Proposed Constitution is consistent with the Corporations Act requirements which must be satisfied by the Company in undertaking an alteration of capital.

(d) Liens

If the Company issues partly paid shares and a call made on those shares is unpaid, the Company will have a lien over the shares on which the call is unpaid. The lien may be enforced by a sale of those shares.

(e) Transfer of Shares

The Company may participate in any clearing and settlement facility provided under the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Pty Ltd (ASX Settlement) Operating Rules. Transfers through ASX Settlement are effected electronically in ASX Settlement's Clearing House Electronic Sub register System (CHESS). For the purposes of the Company's participation in the CHESS, the Company may issue holding

statements in lieu of share certificates. The Company will not charge any fee for registering a transfer of shares. The Directors may refuse to register a transfer of shares in the circumstances permitted or required under the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.

(f) Proportional Takeovers

Schedule 5 of the Proposed Constitution contains provisions dealing with proportional takeover bids for the Company's securities in accordance with the Corporations Act.

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each Shareholder is only for a proportion of that Shareholder's securities.

The Corporations Act permits a company's constitution to include provisions that enable it to refuse to register the transfer of securities acquired under a proportional takeover bid, unless shareholders approve the takeover bid. The provisions are designed to assist Shareholders to receive proper value for their securities if a proportional takeover bid is made for the Company.

A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are then potentially exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. The proportional takeover provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.

The perceived advantages of including proportional takeover provisions in the Proposed Constitution are that such provisions may:

  • (i) Shareholders will be given the right to decide by majority vote whether to accept a proportional takeover bid;
  • (ii) the provisions may help Shareholders avoid being locked in as a minority and may prevent a bidder acquiring control of the Company without paying an adequate control premium;
  • (iii) the provisions may increase Shareholders' bargaining power and may help ensure that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced;
  • (iv) knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders may help each individual Shareholder to decide whether to accept or reject the proportional offer;
  • (v) enhance the bargaining power of Directors in connection with any potential sale of the Company;
  • (vi) improve corporate management by eliminating the possible threat of a hostile takeover through longer term planning;
  • (vii)make it easier for Directors to discharge their fiduciary and statutory duties to the Company and its Shareholders to advise and guide in the event of a proportional bid occurring; and
  • (viii) strengthen the position of Shareholders of the Company in the event of a takeover, assuming the takeover will result in a sharing of wealth between the offeror and Shareholders, as the more cohesive Shareholders are in determining their response the stronger they are. A requirement for approval can force

Shareholders to act in a more cohesive manner. Where Shareholders know that a bid will only be successful if a specified majority of Shareholders accept the offer, they have less to fear by not tendering to any offer which they think is too low.

The perceived disadvantages of including proportional takeover provisions in the Proposed Constitution include the following matters:

  • (i) they may discourage proportional takeover bids being made for Shares in the Company;
  • (ii) Shareholders may lose an opportunity to sell some of their Shares at a premium; and
  • (iii) the likelihood of a proportional takeover succeeding may be reduced.

The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of including proportional takeover provisions in the Proposed Constitution and as a result consider that including the proportional takeover provisions in the Proposed Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders.

The Directors consider that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

To comply with the Corporations Act, the proportional takeover provisions must be renewed by Shareholders in general meeting at least every 3 years to remain in place.

(g) Alterations of share capital

Shares may be converted or cancelled with Shareholder approval and the Company's share capital may be reduced in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

(h) Buy Backs

The Company may buy back shares in itself on terms and at such times determined by the Directors.

(i) Disposal of less than a Marketable Parcel

For the sake of avoiding excessive administration costs, the Proposed Constitution contains provisions enabling the Company to procure the disposal of shares where the Shareholder holds less than a marketable parcel of shares within the meaning of the Listing Rules (being a parcel of shares with a market value of less than $500). To invoke this procedure, the Directors must first give notice to the relevant Shareholder holding less than a marketable parcel of shares, who may then elect not to have his or her shares sold by notifying the Directors.

(j) Variation of class rights

Class rights attaching to a particular class of shares may be varied or cancelled with the consent in writing of holders of 75% of the shares in that class or by a special resolution of the holders of shares in that class.

(k) Meetings of Shareholders

Directors may call a meeting of Shareholders whenever they think fit. Shareholders may call a meeting as provided by the Corporations Act. The Proposed Constitution contains provisions prescribing the content requirements of notices of meetings of Shareholders and all Shareholders are entitled to a notice of meeting. Consistent with the new Corporations Act provisions, a meeting may be held in two or more places

linked together by audio-visual communication devices. A quorum for a meeting of Shareholders is 2 eligible voters.

The Company will hold annual general meetings in accordance with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.

(l) Voting of Shareholders

Resolutions of Shareholders will be decided by a show of hands unless a poll is demanded. On a show of hands each eligible voter present has one vote. On a poll each eligible Shareholder has one vote for each fully paid share held and a fraction of a vote for each partly paid share determined by the amount paid up on that share.

(m)Proxies

An eligible Shareholder may appoint a proxy to attend and vote at the meeting on the Shareholder's behalf. The Proposed Constitution contains provisions specifying the manner of lodgement of proxy instruments. A Shareholder may appoint an individual or corporation to act as its representative.

(n) Directors

Unless changed by the Company in general meeting, the minimum number of directors is 3 and the maximum is 10. The existing directors of the Company may appoint a new Director to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the board. Any such Director must retire at the next following annual general meeting of the Company (at which meeting he or she may be eligible for election as director). No Director other than the Managing Director may hold office for longer than 3 years without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

(o) Powers of Directors

The business of the Company is to be managed by or under the direction of the Directors.

(p) Remuneration of Directors

The Company may pay non-executive Directors a maximum of the total amount as determined by the Shareholders in general meeting and such sum must not be paid by way of commission on, or percentage of, profits or operating revenue.

The remuneration of executive Directors will be subject to the provisions of any contract between each of them and the Company and may be by way of commission on, or percentage of, profits of the Company, but will not be by way of commission on, or percentage of, operating revenue.

(q) Execution of documents

The Proposed Constitution provides for execution of documents by the Company without the use of the Company's company seal.

(r) Dividends

Subject to and in accordance with the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, the rights of any preference shares and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividends, the Directors may from time to time declare dividends to be paid to the shareholders entitled to dividends. Subject to the rights of any preference shares and to the rights of the holders of any Shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividends, the dividends as declared shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not

credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

(s) Indemnities and insurance

To the extent permitted by law, the Company indemnifies every person who is, or has been, a Director or Secretary of the Company against a liability incurred by that person in his or her capacity as a Director or Secretary provided that the liability does not arise out of conduct involving a lack of good faith (otherwise referred to as an excluded liability). A similar indemnity is provided in respect of legal proceedings. The Company may also pay the premiums on directors' and officers' liability insurance.

SCHEDULE A SUMMARY OF PROMINENCE ENERGY EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN

The key terms of the Plan are as follows:

  1. Eligible Participant

"Eligible Participant" means a person who is a full-time or part-time employee, officer, or contractor of the Company, or an Associated Body Corporate (as defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000), or such other person who has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.

The Company will seek Shareholder approval for the participation of Directors and their associates in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

  1. Purpose

The purpose of the Plan is to:

  • a. assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
  • b. link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and
  • c. 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.
    1. Plan administration

The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.

  1. 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 Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

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.

  1. Grant of Securities

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

  1. 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 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.

  1. 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.

8. 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 Convertible Securities (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.

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, 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 Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

  1. 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.

  1. 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; committed an act which has brought the Company, the Group or any entity within the Group into disrepute, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group or where a Participant is convicted of an offence in connection with the affairs of the Group; or has a judgment entered against him or her in any civil proceedings in respect of the contravention by the Participant of his or her duties at law, in equity or under statute, in his or her capacity as an employee, consultant or officer of 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 Plan rules:

  • a. 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
  • b. any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation or vesting notice.
    1. 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.

  1. Rights attaching to Plan Shares

All Shares issued or transferred under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, (Plan Shares) will rank equally 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 Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.

  1. Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares

If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares 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 a Plan Share is 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 Plan Share; or
  • b. take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.
    1. 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 ASX 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 issue 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.

  1. 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.

  1. Compliance with applicable law

No Security may be offered, grated, vested or exercised if to do so would contravene any applicable law. In particular, the Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an invitation, that the total number of Plan Shares that may be issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities offer when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made at any time during the previous three year period under:

  • a. an employee incentive scheme of the Company covered by ASIC Class Order 14/1000; or
  • b. an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme,
  • c. but disregarding any offer made or securities issued in the capital of the Company by way of or as a result of:

  • d. an offer to a person situated at the time of receipt of the offer outside Australia;
  • e. an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act (exempts the requirement for a disclosure document for the issue of securities in certain circumstances to investors who are deemed to have sufficient investment knowledge to make informed decisions, including professional investors, sophisticated investors and senior managers of the Company); or
  • f. an offer made under a disclosure document,

would not exceed 5% (or such other maximum permitted under any applicable law) of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the invitation.

  1. Amendment of Plan

Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities 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 all Participants.

  1. 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, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.

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.

  1. Income Tax Assessment Act

The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act).
