Dear Shareholder,
IMPACT OF COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPANY’S ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The shareholder meeting is scheduled to be held on Friday 26 November 2021 at 11:00 am (WST) ( Meeting ).
The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 virus across Australia and following guidance from the Federal and State Governments. Having considered the current circumstances, and noting that a large number of the Company’s shareholders are located in Western Australia, at this stage the Directors have made the decision that a physical meeting will be held in Perth . Accordingly, Shareholders will be able to attend the Meeting in person.
To assist the Company in ensuring that the Meeting is held in compliance with the COVID19 restrictions at the time of the Meeting, it will be helpful for Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting in person to register their attendance by contacting the Company Secretary, Patrick Flint via email at [email protected] by no later than 11am WST on 24 November 2021 ( Attendance Closing Date ). This will greatly assist the Company to manage any amendments required to the meeting format as a result of any changes to government restrictions which may apply at the time of the meeting. The Company will endeavour to adopt a format that will best ensure that all Shareholders who wish to attend are able to participate.
In accordance with the Treasury Laws Amendment (2021 Measures No 1) Act 2021, the Company will not be sending hard copies of the Notice of Meeting to shareholders unless a shareholder has previously requested a hard copy. The Notice of Meeting can be viewed and downloaded at www.redmetal.com.au .
Alternatively, a complete copy of the Meeting documents has been posted on the Company’s ASX market announcements page.
The Company strongly encourages Shareholders to lodge a directed proxy form online or otherwise in accordance with the instructions set out in the proxy form prior to the Meeting and register their attendance prior to the Meeting if they intend to attend. Questions should also be submitted in advance of the Meeting as this will provide management with the best opportunity to prepare for the Meeting, for example by preparing answers in advance to Shareholders questions. However, votes and questions may also be submitted during the Meeting.
The outcome of the resolutions, including details of votes received by poll, will be released to the Company’s ASX announcements platform following conclusion of the meeting.
If you have nominated an email address and have elected to receive electronic communications from the Company, you will also receive an email to your nominated email address with a link to an electronic copy of the notice of meeting.
In order to receive electronic communications from the Company in the future, please update your Shareholder details online at www.boardroomlimited.com.au and log in with your unique shareholder identification number and postcode (or country for overseas residents), where you can find your personalised proxy form.

If you are unable to access any of the Meeting documents online please contact the Company Secretary, Patrick Flint, on +612 9281 1805 or via email at [email protected] .
The Australian government and the respective State governments are implementing a wide range of measures to contain or delay the spread of COVID-19. If it becomes necessary or appropriate to make alternative arrangements to those set out in the Company’s Notice of Meeting, the Company will notify Shareholders accordingly via the Company’s website at www.redmetal.com.au and the Company’s ASX Announcement Platform at asx.com.au (ASX: RDM).

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at redmetal.com.au.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.
The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
2.2
Voting consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
5
3618-04/2789297_1
2.3 Previous voting results
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. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR RUSSELL BARWICK
3.1 General
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 Russell Barwick, who has served as a Director since 6 June 2003 and was last re-elected on 27 November 2019, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships
Mr Barwick is a mining engineer with over 40 years technical, managerial and corporate experience in various commodities. He initially worked for Bougainville Copper Limited (CRA), Pancontinental Mining Limited and CSR Ltd. Following this, Mr Barwick spent 17 years with Placer Dome Inc, occupying a number of key development, operational and corporate roles, culminating in being Managing Director of Placer Nuigini Ltd. He then served as Chief Executive Officer of Newcrest Mining Limited where he achieved strong market support. For the four year period up to the end of 2006 Mr Barwick was the Chief Operating Officer of Wheaton River Minerals and Goldcorp Inc., during which the quickly evolving company grew its market capitalisation from several hundred million dollars to $22 billion and became the third largest gold company in the world by market capitalisation. He was subsequently the CEO of Canadian based Gammon Gold Inc, but resigned and returned to Australia for family reasons in 2008. Mr Barwick is also a director of Mount Gibson Iron Limited (since 2011), Lithium Power International Limited (since 2017) and Regis Resources Ltd (since 2020).
3.3 Independence
If re-elected the Board considers Mr Barwick will be an independent Director.
3.4 Board recommendation
The Board has reviewed Mr Barwick’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Barwick’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Mr Barwick and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE
4.1 General
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
6
3618-04/2789297_1
However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 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 $24,559,174 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 5 October 2021).
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3 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 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under 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.
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 3:
(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid
The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
(b) Minimum Price
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity 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
7
3618-04/2789297_1
- (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 4.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c)
Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate
The purposes for which funds raised by an issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate may be used include the following:
-
Exploration activities on the Company’s mineral interests; and
-
Ongoing future working capital purposes.
(d)
Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 5 October 2021.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.
| Dilution | Dilution | Dilution | |||

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
There are currently 245,591,743 Shares on issue.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 5 October 2021.
8
3618-04/2789297_1
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
9
3618-04/2789297_1
(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held 18 November 2020 ( Previous Approval ).
During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 26 November 2020, the Company did not issue any Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 pursuant to the Previous Approval.
4.3
Voting Exclusion Statement
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. RESOLUTIONS 4, 5 AND 6 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS
5.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 6,000,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to Russell Barwick, Robert Rutherford and Joshua Pitt (or their nominees) on the terms and conditions set out below.
Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Options to Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt (or their nominees).
5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of Related Party Options to Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt (or their nominees) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt are related parties of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Related Party Options because the agreement to issue the Related Party Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
5.3
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
10
3618-04/2789297_1
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of Related Party Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options to Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Related Party Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options.
5.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 4, 5 and 6:
-
(a) the Related Party Options will be issued to Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt (or their nominees), who fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors;
-
(b) the maximum number of Related Party Options to be issued is 6,000,000, being 500,000 Related Party Options to Messrs Barwick and Pitt and 5,000,000 Options to Mr Rutherford;
-
(c) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in Schedule 1;
11
3618-04/2789297_1
-
(d) the Related Party Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Options will occur on the same date;
-
(e) the issue price of the Related Party Options will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Related Party Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Related Party Options);
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Related Party Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt to motivate and reward their performance as Directors and to provide cost effective remuneration to Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt, enabling 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 to Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt. The number of options to be issued to Mr Rutherford represents an increase compared to previous years. The Board considers this increase warranted given Mr Rutherford's recent performance and the level of his fixed remuneration. The total remuneration package is structured to reflect Mr Rutherford's responsibilities and in particular the high level of performance in recently compiling a very strong portfolio of exploration projects. The options are offered to also ensure that the remuneration package is competitive in retaining and motivating Mr Rutherford;
-
(g) the Related Party Options are unquoted Options. The Company has agreed to issue the Related Party Options to the Related Parties subject to Shareholder for the following reasons:
-
(i) the Related Party Options are unquoted; therefore, the issue of the Related Party Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;
-
(ii) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the Related Parties in respect of an issue of Options is also beneficial to the Company as it means the Related Parties are not required to immediately sell the Related Party Options to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; and
-
(iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Options on the terms proposed;
-
(h) the number of Related Party Options to be issued to each of the Related Parties has been determined based upon a consideration of:
-
(i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;
-
(ii) the remuneration of the Related Parties; and
12
3618-04/2789297_1
- (iii) incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of the Related Parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.
The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;
(i) the total remuneration package for each of the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year (excluding the value of the Related Party Options, as set out in Schedule 2) are set out below:
| Related Party | Current Financial Year (FY 2022) |
Previous Financial Year (FY 2021) |
|---|---|---|
| Russell Barwick1 | $48,000 | $67,666 |

Comprising Director fees of $24,000 and share-based payments of $19,666 in the previous financial year and $24,000 the current financial year.
(j) the value of the Related Party Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 2;
-
(k) the Related Party Options are not being issued under an agreement;
-
(l) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company (excluding the Related Party Options) as at the date of this Notice are set out below:
| Related Party | Shares1 | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Russell Barwick | 3,922,400 | 1,500,0002 |

(m) if the Related Party Options issued to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 6,000,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 245,591,743 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 251,591,743 (assuming that no Shares are issued and no convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 2.4%, comprising 0.2% by Russell Barwick, 2.0% by Robert Rutherford and 0.2% by Joshua Pitt.
The market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options would normally determine whether the Related Party Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Related Party Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Related Party Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.
(n) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:
| Price | Date | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.18 | 10 May 2021 |

(o) each Director may be considered to have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4 to 6 on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Related Party Options should Resolutions 4 to 6 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 4 to 6 of this Notice;
-
(p) the Board is not aware of any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 4 to 6; and
-
(q) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 of the Notice.

SCHEDULE 1 – TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RELATED PARTY OPTIONS
Terms of issue applicable to Related Party Options to be issued under Resolutions 4, 5 and 6
The Related Party Options entitle the holder to subscribe for Shares on the following terms:
-
Each Related Party Option entitles the holder to subscribe for and be allotted one fully paid ordinary share in the Company upon payment of the exercise price. The exercise price shall be a 25% premium (rounded up to the nearest cent) to the five day volume weighted average price on the day of issue of the Related Party Options.
-
The Related Party Options vest as follows;
-
(a) First (1[st] ) Tranche of 3,000,000 Related Party Options – from the date of issue.
-
(b) Second (2[nd] ) Tranche of 3,000,000 Related Party Options – 12 months from the date of issue.
-
Each Option will expire at 5:00 pm (AEDT) on 25 November 2024 (Expiry Date).
-
Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the exercise of Related Party Options not more than 10 business days after receipt of a properly executed notice of exercise and payment of the requisite application moneys.
-
The Related Party Options are not transferable except to an offeror under a takeover offer or under a scheme of arrangement proposed by the Company, or except with the consent of the Directors of the Company in circumstances where the proposed transfer is to an entity wholly owned and controlled by the optionholder.
-
All Shares issued upon exercise of the Related Party Options will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.
-
The Company will apply for Official Quotation by the ASX of all Shares issued upon exercise of the Related Party Options.
-
There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Related Party Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to shareholders during the currency of the Related Party Options. However, the Company will send a notice to each holder of Related Party Options at least nine business days before the record date for any proposed pro-rata issue of capital. This will give optionholders the opportunity to exercise their Related Party Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.
-
There is no right to a change in the exercise price of the Related Party Options or to the number of Shares over which the Related Party Options are exercisable in the event of a new issue of capital (other than a bonus issue) during the currency of the Related Party Options.
-
In the event of any reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company on or prior to the Expiry Date, the rights of an optionholder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable ASX Listing Rules in force at the time of the reorganisation.

SCHEDULE 2 – VALUATION OF RELATED PARTY OPTIONS AND PRICING METHODOLOGY
The Company does not have any ASX quoted options with identical or similar terms and conditions as the proposed Related Party Options and as such there is no comparable market value. Each Related Party Option grants the holder a right to be allotted one Share upon exercise of the Related Party Option and payment of the exercise price of the Related Party Option. Accordingly, the Related Party Options arguably have a value at the date of their grant. The Related Party Options may acquire future value dependent upon the extent to which the market value of Shares exceeds the exercise price of the Related Party Options during the term of the Related Party Options.
As a general proposition, options to subscribe for ordinary fully paid shares in a company have value. Various factors impact upon the value of options including things such as:
-
(a) the period outstanding before the expiry date of the options;
-
(b) the exercise price of the options relative to the underlying price or value of the securities into which they may be converted;
-
(c) the proportion of the issued capital as expanded consequent upon exercise represented by the shares issued upon exercise (ie whether or not the shares that might be acquired upon exercise of the options represent a controlling or other significant interest);
-
(d) the value of the shares into which the options may be converted; and
-
(e) whether or not the options are listed (ie readily capable of being liquidated).
There are various formulae which can be applied to determining the theoretical value of options (including the formula known as the Black-Scholes Model option valuation formula).
The Company has estimated the value of the Related Party Options using the BlackScholes Model, which is the most widely used and recognised model for pricing options. The value of an option calculated by the Black-Scholes Model is a function of the relationship between a number of variables, being the share price, the exercise price, the time to expiry, the risk-free interest rate and the volatility of the Company’s underlying share price.
Inherent in the application of the Black-Scholes Model are a number of inputs, some of which must be assumed. The data relied upon in applying the Black-Scholes Model in the present case were as follows:
-
(a) the exercise price for the Related Party Options is a 25% premium to the five day VWAP on the day of issue (rounded up to the nearest cent). Based on the VWAP of $0.099 on 5 October 2021 the exercise price used for the purposes of the BlackScholes Model is $0.13;
-
(b) length of period prior to conversion being 3 years. For the purposes of the analysis it was assumed that the Related Party Options would not be exercised any earlier than the expiration date, being 25 November 2024;
-
(c) the Company has not forecast any future dividend payments. For the purposes of the analysis, it was assumed that the Company’s share price is “ex-dividend”;
18
3618-04/2789297_1
-
(d) the risk free rate used for the purposes of the analysis is the Reserve Bank of Australia cash rate as at 5 October 2021 being 0.10%;
-
(e) a volatility measure of 60%; and
-
(f) the valuation of the Company’s share price being 10 cents, being the value of the Company’s share price as at 5 October 2021.
Using the Black-Scholes Model and the assumed data outlined above, the directors have valued the Related Party Options as at 5 October 2021 at 3.2 cents each.
Using this analysis (3.2 cents attributed to each Director Option), the total value of the proposed Related Party Options to be granted to each of Messrs Barwick, Rutherford and Pitt is as follows:
tt is as follows: |
|
|---|---|
| Mr Barwick Mr Rutherford Mr Pitt TOTAL |
Number of Related Party Options Total Value of Related Party Options 500,000 $16,000 5,000,000 $160,000 500,000 $16,000 |
| 6,000,000 $192,000 |
