Takeover, scheme of arrangement and change in control
Performance Rights will automatically vest and be deemed to immediately become Vested Performance Rights upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
-

14.
Adjustment for reconstruction
In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company (not being a reconstruction referred to in clauses 12 and 13 above), the number of Performance Rights shall be reconstructed (as appropriate) in accordance with the Listing Rules (applying at that time) and in a manner which will not result in any additional benefits being conferred on a Holder which are not conferred on holders of Eligible Products in the relevant class generally, but in all other respects the terms of exercise will remain unchanged.
15.
Accumulation of adjustments
Clauses 12, 13 and 14 are cumulative and shall apply (without duplication) to successive issues, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations, distributions and any other events that require adjustment of the number of Eligible Products of that class or the number or kind of securities that can be acquired upon the exercise of Performance Rights.
