Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that changes to the Corporations Act made in 2011 mean that:

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at 108 Outram Street, West Perth, 6005 on Wednesday 6 October 2021 at 15:00 (WST) .

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice.

A Proxy Form is located at the end of the Explanatory Memorandum.

1. Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of Consideration Shares

1.1 Background

On 23 April 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 25% equity interest in the Arrow, Yandicoogina and Boodalyerrie Projects ( Pilbara Projects ) from Pacton Gold Inc ( Pacton ), through its wholly owned subsidiary Pilbara Gold Corporation Pty Ltd (PGC) ( Acquisition Agreement ).

Refer to Section 1.1.2(f) below for the key terms of the Acquisition Agreement.

The Consideration Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s existing placement capacity available under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the previous issue of the Consideration Shares.

1.1.1 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, 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 7.4 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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.To this end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of the Consideration Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Consideration Shares issued will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Consideration Shares issued will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

8

1.1.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided for Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Consideration Shares were issued to Pacton (and/or its nominees). Pacton is not a related party of the Company;

  • (b) a total of 36,338,315 Shares were issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (c) the Consideration Shares were issued on 18 June 2021;

  • (d) the issue price of the Consideration Shares were issued as part consideration for the Pilbara Projects at a deemed issue price of $0.028 cents per Share;

  • (e) the purpose of the issue was as part consideration for the acquisition of the Pilbara Projects under the Acquisition Agreement;

  • (f) the Consideration Shares were issued to Pacton pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement as part consideration for the remaining 25% equity interest in the Pilbara Projects. A summary of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement is set out below:

  • (i) Consideration

    • (A) the Company issuing Pacton $1,000,000 in fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company, based on a 20 consecutive trading day VWAP from the date of execution of the Acquisition Agreement (with 6 months voluntary escrow from the date of issue, which will end on the sixth month anniversary of the date of issue, being 23 October 2021) ( Consideration Shares ); and

    • (B) the Company providing cash consideration of A$200,000 to Pacton.

(ii) Condition Precedent

Completion of the Acquisition Agreement was subject to the conditions precedent including:

  • (A) the parties receiving all regulatory approvals or consents and/or complying with all requirements imposed by any regulatory body (including any governmental agency and ASX) and approvals; and

  • (B) other condition precedents customary for a transaction of this nature.

The Acquisition Agreement otherwise outlines terms and conditions which are standard for an agreement of this nature.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 1 of the Notice.

2. Resolutions 2-5 – Approval to issue Performance Rights to Michael Davy, Dusko Ljubojevic, Martin Pawlitschek and Dale Ginn

2.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to grant a total of 68,000,000 Performance Rights ( Related Party Performance Rights ) to Michael Davy, Dusko Ljubojevic, Martin Pawlitschek and Dale Ginn (and/or their respective nominees) on the terms and conditions set out below.

The issue of the Related Party Performance Rights is viewed as a cost effective and efficient way to incentivise and reward the directors as opposed to alternative forms of incentives, such as the payment of additional cash compensation, and the vesting conditions applicable to the Related Party Performance Rights are considered more appropriate in light of current market conditions.

2.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11

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 issue of the Related Party Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit and Michael Davy, Dusko Ljubojevic, Martin Pawlitschek and Dale Ginn are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

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:

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) 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;

  • (c) 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 nominated a director to the Board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • (e) 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.

10

As it is proposed that the Related Party Performance Rights be granted to all of the Directors, the Directors have been unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act or ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies to these issues. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of the Related Party Performance Rights to Michael Davy, Dusko Ljubojevic, Martin Pawlitschek and Dale Ginn (and/or their respective nominees).

If Resolutions 2 to 5 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Performance Rights the subject of these Resolutions. If any of Resolutions 2 to 5 are not passed, the Company will not be able to issue the Director Related Party Performance Rights the subject of the Resolution and may consider alternative other forms of remuneration in lieu of such issue.

2.3 Section 195 of the Corporations Act

Section 195 of the Corporations Act provides that a director of a public company must not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a ‘material personal interest’ are being considered.

Michael Davy, Dusko Ljubojevic, Martin Pawlitschek and Dale Ginn have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 2 to 5 (as applicable). The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the Related Party Performance Rights to Shareholders to resolve upon.

2.4 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Related Party Performance Rights:

  • (a) the related parties are Michael Davy, Dusko Ljubojevic, Martin Pawlitschek and Dale Ginn and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;

  • (k) the Board acknowledges the grant of the Related Party Performance Rights to the Directors is contrary to Recommendation 8.3 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4[th] Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of the Related Party Performance Rights is reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set out in paragraph (m);

  • (l) the primary purpose of the grant of the Related Party Performance Rights to the Directors is to provide a performance linked incentive component in their remuneration package to motivate and reward their performance in their respective roles as Directors;

  • (m) Mr Davy declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 2 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (and/or his nominee) is to be granted the Related Party Performance Rights should Resolution 2 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 3 to 5, Mr Davy recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

  • (i) the grant of the Related Party Performance Rights will align the interests of the Directors with those of Shareholders;

  • (ii) the grant of the Related Party Performance Rights is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given; and

  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Related Party Performance Rights upon the terms proposed;

  • (n) Mr Ljubojevic declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (and/or his nominee) is to be granted Related Party Performance Rights in the Company should Resolution 3 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 2 and 4-5, Mr Ljubojevic recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (m);

13

  • (o) Mr Pawlitschek declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (and/or his nominee) is to be granted Related Party Performance Rights in the Company should Resolution 4 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 2-3 and 5-6, Mr Pawlitschek recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (m);

  • (p) Mr Ginn declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (and/or his nominee) is to be granted Related Party Performance Rights in the Company should Resolution 5 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 2-4, Mr Ginn recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (m);

  • (q) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each other Director, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Performance Rights to be granted as well as the vesting conditions of those Related Party Performance Rights; and

  • (r) the Related Party Performance Rights are not being issued under an agreement;

  • (s) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolutions 2 to 5 of the Notice; and

  • (t) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 2 to 5.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Performance Rights to the Directors (and/or their nominees) as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Related Party Performance Rights will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

3. Resolution 6 – Approval to issue Performance Rights to Employee

3.1 General

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of a total of 5,000,000 Performance Rights (which consists of 1,500,000 Tranche 1 Performance Rights, 500,000 Tranche 2 Performance Rights, 1,750,000 Tranche 3 Performance Rights and 1,250,000 Tranche 4 Performance Rights) ( Employee Performance Rights ) to the Company’s company secretary, Kyla Garic ( Employee ) (and/or her respective nominee), on the terms and conditions set out below.

The issue of the Employee Performance Rights is viewed as a cost effective and efficient way to incentivise and reward the Employee as opposed to alternative forms of incentives, such as the payment of additional cash compensation, and the vesting conditions applicable to the Employee Performance Rights are considered more appropriate in light of current market conditions.

3.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

An explanation of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.1.1 above.

14

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Employee Performance Rights for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Employee Performance Rights. In addition, the issue of the Employee Performance Rights will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Employee Performance Rights unless the issue of the Employee Performance Rights is able to be made following the Meeting from the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, in which case, the Company will have a reduced ability to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

3.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) the Employee Performance Rights Shares will be issued to Kyla Garic (Company Secretary) (and/or her respective nominee). Kyla Garic is not a member of the Company’s key management personnel, a substantial holder, no adviser to the Company (nor is the issue being made to an associate of Kyla Garic). Kyla Garic is not a related party of the Company;

  • (b) a total of 5,000,000 Performance Rights (which consists of 1,500,000 Tranche 1 Performance Rights, 500,000 Tranche 2 Performance Rights, 1,750,000Tranche 3 Performance Rights and 1,250,000 Tranche 4 Performance Rights) will be issued.

  • (c) the terms and conditions of the Employee Performance Rights are set out in Schedule 2;

  • (d) the Company engaged Nexia Perth Corporate Finance Pty Ltd to determine a value for the Employee Performance Rights an excerpt of which is set out in Schedule 3;

  • (e) the Employee Performance Rights will be issued to the Employee no later than 3 months after the date of this Meeting;

  • (f) the Employee Performance Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (g) the primary purpose of the issue of the Employee Performance Rights to the Employee is to provide a performance linked incentive component to their remuneration package to motivate and reward their performance in their respective role as Employee;

  • (h) the Employee Performance rights are not being issued under an agreement; and

  • (i) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

The Directors of the Company believe Resolution 6 is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

4. Resolution 7 – Bu -Back of Acuit Shares y y

4.1 General

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the buy-back of 21,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares that were issued to Acuity Capital Investment Management Pty Ltd on 22 October 2019 ( Acuity Collateral Shares ) pursuant to s257D of the Corporations Act.

The Acuity Collateral Shares were issued to Acuity Capital Investment Management Pty Ltd ( Acuity Capital ) under the Controlled Placement Deed (as amended) that was entered into between the Company and Acuity Capital on or about 1 July 2019. The Acuity Collateral Shares were issued to Acuity Capital as security against the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Controlled Placement Deed. The Company announced the Controlled Placement Deed to the market on 2 July 2019. This announcement included the details of the Controlled Placement Deed, including the issue of the Acuity Collateral Shares, as well as the potential buy back in the future of those same Acuity Collateral Shares (or equivalent shares) on expiration of the Controlled Placement Deed.

The Controlled Placement Deed expired on 30 June 2021 with a condition of the deed that upon expiration of the Controlled Placement Deed, the Company may exercise its right to purchase the Acuity Collateral Shares from Acuity for nil cash consideration.

The buy-back will be completed with no cash (or other) consideration payable to Acuity.

Subject to approval of shareholders of the Company pursuant to section 257A of the Corporations Act, Acuity agrees to transfer all of the Acuity Collateral Shares and the Company has agreed to receive all of the Acuity Collateral Shares.

On completion, the Acuity Collateral Shares will be cancelled pursuant to section 257H of the Corporations Act.

Terms of the Buy-back Agreement

The terms of the Buy-back Agreements are as follows:

  • the Company shall buy-back the Acuity Collateral Shares for no consideration payable to Acuity; and

  • the buy-back is subject to approval of shareholders at a general meeting of Company shareholder approval.

On completion, the Acuity Collateral Shares will be cancelled pursuant to section 257H of the Corporations Act.

Corporations Act requirements

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval to enable the Company to buy-back and cancel the Acuity Collateral Shares. Section 257D of the Corporations Act provides that the rules relating to share buy-backs are designed to protect the interests of shareholders and creditors by:

  • (a) addressing the risk of the transaction leading to the company’s solvency;

  • (b) seeking to ensure fairness between the shareholders of the company; and

  • (c) requiring the Company to disclose all material information.

16

In particular, Section 257A of the Corporations Act provides that a company may buy back its own shares if:

  • (a) the buy-back does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors; and

  • (b) the Company follows the procedures laid down in Division 2 of Part 2J.1 of the Corporations Act.

The procedures required differ for each type of buy-back. The buy-back proposed in Resolution 7 is classified as a selective buy-back. Pursuant to Section 257D(1) of the Corporations Act, a selective share buy-back must be approved by either:

  • (a) a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the Company, with no votes being cast in favour of the resolution by any person whose Shares are to be bought back or by their Associates; or

  • (b) a resolution agreed to, at a general meeting by all ordinary shareholders.

Pursuant to Section 257D(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must include with the notice of meeting a statement setting out all information known to the Company that is material to the decision on how to vote on the resolution. However, the Company does not have to disclose information if it would be unreasonable to require the Company to do so because the Company had previously disclosed the information to shareholders.

Section 257H(3) of the Corporations Act provides that immediately after the registration of the transfer to a company of Shares bought back, the Shares are cancelled.

Details of the Buy-Back

ASIC Regulatory Guide 110 sets out what ASIC expects a company to provide when disclosing such information to shareholders with a notice of meeting. This information, as it relates to the buyback proposed in Resolution 7 is set out below:

  • (a) the Company has 1,248,641,496 Shares on issue at the date of this Notice;

  • (b) The number and percentage of Shares to be bought back are 21,000,000 Shares representing approximately 1.68% of the Shares on issue at the date of this Notice;

  • (c) The terms of the buy-back are set out above;

  • (d) There is no offer price for the buy-back as no Consideration will be payable by the Company for the Acuity Collateral Shares;

  • (e) The reason for the buy-back is as a result of the terms of expiration and termination of the Controlled Placement Deed;

  • (f) No Directors will participate in the buy-back;

  • (g) There will be no financial effect of the buy-back on the Company or Acuity Capital;

  • (h) The Directors believe the advantages and disadvantages of the buy-back are:

-Advantages:

  1. The Company’s share register is restored to the position prior to the issue of the Acuity Collateral Shares (i.e. this means that the total shares on issue will be reduced with no cost to shareholders or the Company);

17

  1. Acuity Capital’s shareholding is restored to the position prior to the issue of the Acuity Collateral Shares (i.e Acuity Capital will hold not shares in the Company); and

  2. The Company will have discharged its obligations pursuant to the Controlled Placement Deed.

- Disadvantages: Nil.

The buy-back is not expected to have any effect on the control of the Company.

Resolution 7 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of two-thirds of the votes cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote on poll (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative.)

4.2 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

5. Resolution 8 – Re-election of Mr Dale Ginn

5.1 General

Resolution 8 seeks approval for election of Mr Dale Ginn as a Director.

Clauses 10.2(b) of the Constitution provides that the Directors may appoint a person to be a Director. Clause 10.3(j) provides that any Director so appointed holds office until the following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election.

Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer. However, a director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the entity.

Mr Ginn having been appointed to fill a casual vacancy on 12 May 2021 will retire in accordance with clause 10.3(i) of the Constitution and being eligible seeks re-election.

5.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Dale Ginn was appointed by the Directors to the Board to fill a casual vacancy on 12 May 2021.

Mr Ginn is an experienced mining executive and geologist of over 30 years based in central Canada.

Mr Ginn has led or was part of the discovery teams for the Gladiator, Hinge, 007, 777, Trout Lake, Photo, Edleston and Tartan Lake deposits and received the Quebec Discovery of the Year Golden Hammer award in 2018 for the Gladiator high grade gold deposit. His contributions have led to approximately 10 million ounces in resource generation as well as over $500 million in capital raised for exploration and development projects. His experience has included both senior and junior companies such as Goldcorp, Harmony Gold, Hudbay, Westmin, San Gold, Bonterra, Gatling Exploration and others. While specialising in complex, structurally controlled gold deposits, he also has extensive mine-operations, development and start-up experience. In addition to operations experience, Mr Ginn has most recently been extremely active as a partner with RSD Capital of Vancouver in founding and creating startup exploration companies such as Pacton Gold, and successful spinoffs like

18

Gatling Exploration. Dale is a registered professional Geologist (P.Geo.) in the provinces of Ontario and Manitoba.

5.3 Board recommendation

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of a Performance Right will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Performance Right had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

  • (g) If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reorganised, the rights of the holder may change to comply with Listing Rule 6.16. Further, the Performance Rights are to be treated in the manner set out in Listing Rule 7.21 (assuming that the Listing Rules apply), being that the number of Performance Rights or the conversion ratio or both will be reorganised so that the holder of the Performance Rights will not receive a benefit that holders of ordinary shares do not receive and so that the holders of ordinary shares will not receive a benefit that the holder of the Performance Rights does not receive.

3. Rights

  • (c) Despite any other provision, the exercise of any Performance Rights is subject to the Company obtaining any required shareholder or regulatory approval for the purpose of issuing the Conversion Shares. If exercise of all or part of the Performance Rights would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) then the exercise of each Performance Right that would cause the contravention will be deferred until such time or times that the exercise would not at a later date result in a contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act. The holder must give prior written notice to the Company if it considers that the exercise of all or part of its Performance Rights may result in the contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act, failing which the Company will be entitled to assume that the exercise of the Performance Rights under these terms will not result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act.

  • (d) The terms of the Performance Rights may be amended as necessary by the directors of the Company in order to comply with the Listing Rules, or any directions of ASX regarding the terms.
