RED SKY ENERGY LIMITED ACN 099 116 275 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Memorandum should be read in conjunction with, and forms part of, the accompanying Notice.
BUSINESS
2020 Annual Financial Statements
The Annual Financial Statements, comprising the Financial Report, Directors' Report and Auditor's Report for the year ended 31 December 2020 will be laid before the meeting. Shareholders will have the opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the 2020 Annual Financial Statements and the management of the Company. A representative of the auditor will be invited to attend, to answer questions about the audit of the Company's 2020 Annual Financial Statements.
As permitted by the Corporations Act, a printed copy of the Company's 2020 Annual Report has been sent only to those shareholders who have elected to receive a printed copy. A copy of the 2020 Annual Report is available from the Company's website (www.redskyenergy.com.au) and the ASX announcements page of the Company (www.asx.com.au, search code "ROG"). A copy of the 2020 Annual Report can also be obtained upon request to Pauline Moffatt, the Joint Company Secretary, by email to [email protected].
There is no requirement for these reports to be formally approved by shareholders. No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.
Resolution 1: Non-binding Resolution - Remuneration Report
The Company is required pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ("the Corporations Act"), to propose a nonbinding resolution regarding the 2020 Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Director's Report in the 2020 Annual Financial Statements. The vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Shareholders attending the 2020 Annual General Meeting of the Company will have an opportunity to discuss and put questions in respect of the Remuneration Report.
The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies. Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings (AGM) (treating this AGM as the first such meeting), shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGM's on a resolution (a spill resolution) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's Directors (other than the Managing Director and CEO) must be put up for re-election. The vote on the Remuneration Report contained in the Company's 2019 Annual Financial Statements was passed with the support of more than 75% of votes thus a spill resolution will not be required in the event 25% or more of votes that are cast are against the adoption of the 2020 Remuneration Report. However, in the event that 25% or more of votes that are cast are against the adoption of the 2020 Remuneration Report, shareholders should be aware that if there is a 'no' vote of 25% or more for the same resolution at the next AGM the consequences are that it may result in the reelection of the Board.
Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice. In particular, Directors and other members of the key management personnel details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report or a closely related party of those persons must not vote on Resolution 1 and must not cast a vote as proxy, unless the proxy appointment gives a direction on how to vote provided however that the Chair may vote undirected proxies on behalf of persons eligible to vote where expressly authorised to do so on the proxy form.
Resolution 2: Re-election of Mr Adrien Wing as a Director
Rule 5.1 of the Constitution requires one third of the Directors or, if their number is not 3 or a multiple of 3, then the number nearest to but not exceeding one third, is to retire from office as a Director at each annual general meeting. Rule 5.2 of the Constitution provides that the director or directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their election. Rule 5.4 of the Constitution provides that a Director who retiresis eligible for re-election.

Resolution 4: Approval of 10% placement facility
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities (as that term is defined in the ASX Listing Rules) up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after an AGM (10% Placement Facility). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to a company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalization of $300 million or less.
The Company is, at the date of the Notice, an eligible entity.
The Company is seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The exact number of equity securities (if any) to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer below). The Company may use funds raised from any issue(s) under the 10% Placement Facility for development of its existing business and any acquired business, or funding new projects or business opportunities and/or general working capital.
The Company obtained shareholder approval to make issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2020 AGM. This Shareholder approval will lapse on the date of this Meeting.
The Company seeks to refresh the shareholder approval so as to continue to be able to make issues under the 10% Placement Facility after the Meeting in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
If Shareholders pass Resolution 4, the number of equity securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below). If Resolution 4 is not passed by shareholders then the Company will not be able to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 4 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
DESCRIPTION OF LISTING RULE 7.1A
• Shareholder approval
The ability to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an AGM.
• Equity securities
Any equity securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of equity securities of the Company. The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has one class of quoted equity securities, being ordinary shares (ROG).
• Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an AGM may, during the 10% Placement Period (defined below), issue a number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
where:
-
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue:
- (i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
- (ii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 where:
- a. the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
- b. the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or take under those rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
- (iii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 16 where:
- a. the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
- b. the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under those rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
- (iv) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;
- (v) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
- (vi) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
-
Note: "A" has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
-
D is 10%
-
E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holder of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
-
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
As at the date of this Meeting, the Company has 4,631,422,197 ordinary shares on issue and will therefore (subject to the passage of the other resolutions at the Meeting) have capacity to issue:
- (i) 694,713,329 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (15% capacity); and
- (ii) subject to shareholders approving this Resolution 4, 463,142,219 (provided such equity securities are in a class of quoted equity securities) under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of equity securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the equity securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer above).
• Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of equity securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of equity securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days immediately before:
- (i) the date on which the price at which the relevant equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the relevant equity securities; or
- (ii) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.
• 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained and expires (and ceases to be valid) on the earlier to occur of:
- (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained; or
- (ii) the time and date of the next AGM of the Company; or
- (iii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
(10% Placement Period).
• ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors of the Company to issue the equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period separate to the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative).
SPECIFIC INFORMATION REQUIRED BY ASX LISTING RULE 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
- Any equity security issued will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's equity securities over the 15 trading days immediately before:
- (i) the date on which the price at which the relevant equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the relevant equity securities; or
- (ii) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.
- If Resolution 4 is approved by the Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company would be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:
- (i) the market price for the Company's equity securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the equity securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
- (ii) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's equity securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the quantum of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.
The table below shows the dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the current market price of the Company's ordinary shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of the Notice. The table also shows:
- Two examples where variable "A" has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary shares the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary shares that do not require shareholder approval (for example, a pro-rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future shareholders' meeting.
- Two examples of where the price of ordinary shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price (being $0.011 (1.1 cents), the closing price of the Company's ordinary shares at close of trading on 14 April 2021).

The table above has been prepared on the following assumptions:
- The figures contained in the table are subject to rounding.
- The Company issues the maximum securities available under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A being 10% of the Company's shares on issue at the date of the Meeting.
- No options are exercised or performance rights (if any) convert into fully paid ordinary securities before the date of the issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
- The table does not demonstrate an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
- The table only demonstrates the effect of issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. It does not consider placements made under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
- The deemed price in the table is indicative only and does not consider the maximum 25% discount to market that the securities may be placed at under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Company may issue the equity securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised (if any) towards developing its existing business and any acquired business, or to fund new projects or business opportunities and/or for general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 upon issue of any equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including but not limited to the following:
- the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
- the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
- the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
- advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Due to the forward-looking nature of the approval, the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company were to pursue an acquisition and were it to be successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments (provided that the quoted securities were issued for cash consideration).
The Company has previously obtained shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2019 AGM. During the 12-month period preceding the proposed date of the Meeting the Company issued a total of 566,810,548 ordinary shares under the Company's 10% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, representing 34.86% of the number of shares on issue on the date 12 months prior to the Meeting.
Details as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6 for the issue are set out in the table below:

As at the date of that Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the equity securities. Accordingly, no voting exclusion applies to this Resolution 4 and no existing shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded.
The directors of the Company unanimously recommend shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
Background to Resolutions 5A to 5C: Ratification of prior issue of securities
On 29 January 2021, the Company announced it had completed a placement of 550,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares (Placement Shares) at an issue price of $0.002 (0.2 cents) per Placement Share to raise $1.1 million before costs (Placement). Beer & Co Pty Ltd (Beer & Co) acted as Lead Manager of the Placement.
The announcement of the completion of the Placement formed part of the announcement released by the Company for the completion of the placement of the shortfall of the entitlement issue conducted in late 2020.
The participants in the Placement were unrelated sophisticated and institutional investors exempt who were clients of, or identified by, Beer & Co as the Lead Manager of the Placement.
Placement Shares were issued on 29 January 2021 and an Appendix 2A was released to ASX on that date. Placement Shares were issued under the placement capacity available to the Company under Listing Rules 7.1 (146,807,780 Placement Shares) and 7.1A (403,192,220 Placement Shares).
In connection with its role as Lead Manager of the Placement, Beer & Co (and/or its nominee(s)) received:
- A fee of 6% of the funds raised from the Placement. Beer & Co agreed to receive a portion of these fees in shares, being 19,500,000 ordinary shares (Lead Manager Shares) at a deemed issue price of $0.002 (0.2 cents) per Lead Manager Share, representing $39,000 total at the deemed issue price. Lead Manager Shares were issued on 29 January 2021 and an Appendix 2A was released to ASX on that date; and
- 70,000,000 unlisted options (Lead Manager Options), each with an exercise price of $0.005 (0.5 cents), expiry date of 31 January 2023 and which, upon exercise, entitle the holder to one fully paid ordinary share in the Company. The Lead Manager Options were issued on 29 January 2021 and an Appendix 3G was released to ASX on that date.
The Company seeks shareholder approval for the ratification of the prior issue of the Placement Shares (Resolution 5A), Lead Manager Shares (Resolution 5B) and Lead Manager Options (Resolution 5C).
If shareholders:
- pass Resolutions 5A to 5C, the securities the subject of those Resolutions will no longer use the placement capacity of the Company under the ASX Listing Rules and the Company will be able to issue equity securities using the refreshed placement capacity without shareholder approval.
- pass some, but not all, of Resolution 5A to 5C, the securities the subject of the Resolution(s) pass by shareholders will no longer use the placement capacity of the Company under the ASX Listing Rules and the Company will be able to issue equity securities using the refreshed placement capacity without shareholder approval. The securities the subject of the Resolution(s) not passed by shareholders will, however, continue to use the placement capacity of the Company under the ASX Listing Rules.
- do not pass any of Resolutions 5A to 5C, the securities the subject of those Resolutions will continue to use the placement capacity available to the Company under the ASX Listing Rules.
The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
- The securities under each Resolution were issued to the following parties:
- o Resolution 5A: Placement Shares were issued to unrelated sophisticated and institutional investors exempt from who were clients of, or identified by, Beer & Co as the Lead Manager of the Placement.

The terms of Lead Manager Options are otherwise as set out in Annexure A.
- Placement Shares and Lead Manager Shares have the same terms and rights as, and will rank equally with, the Company's other fully paid ordinary shares. Lead Manager Options each have an exercise price of $0.005 (0.5 cents), expiry date of 31 January 2023 and which, upon exercise, entitle the holder to one ordinary share in the Company. The full terms of Lead Manager Options are set out in Annexure B.
- Placement Shares, Lead Manager Shares and Lead Manager Options were issued on 29 January 2021 and an Appendix 2A and Appendix 3G respectively were released to ASX on that date.

The performance rights otherwise have terms as set out in Annexure B.
ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires a company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities under an employee incentive plan to a director of the company or any of their associates or any person whose relationship with either of those persons is such that in ASX's opinion the acquisition should be approved by shareholders.
Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.14 for Resolutions 6A to 6C and as such approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If shareholders:
- Pass all of Resolutions 6A to 6C, the Company will be able to issue all of the performance rights the subject of those Resolutions.
- Pass some, but not all, of Resolutions 6A to 6C, the Company will be able to issue the performance rights the subject of the Resolution(s) passed by shareholders, but will not be able to issue the performance rights the subject of the Resolution(s) not passed by shareholders.

Corporations Act
Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a "financial benefit" to a "related party" unless one of the exceptions to the section apply or shareholders have in general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party.
Each of the proposed recipients of the performance rights are Directors of the Company and are therefore related parties of the Company under the Corporations Act. The issue of the performance rights to them that are the subject of Resolutions 6A to 6C constitute the giving of a financial benefit.
Noting the above, Resolutions 6A to 6C seek shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
Each of the proposed recipients of performance rights was not present during any discussion and/or determination of the proposed issue of their respective performance rights. Notwithstanding this, the Directors acknowledge that Resolutions 6A to 6C collectively relate to the issue of performance rightsto the full Board. Accordingly, the Directors propose that Resolutions 6A to 6C are each also put to shareholders for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act such that shareholders determine whether each of the proposed recipients of the performance rights respectively will be issued the performance rights as set out in Resolutions 6A to 6C.
Recipients of performance rights
The proposed related party recipients and the number of performance rights to be received by each (including the vesting conditions and expiry date of the performance rights) are set out in the tables on pages 15 to 17. Each of the proposed recipients of performance rights are Directors of the Company.
Nature of financial benefit
Each of the proposed recipients of the performance rights under Resolutions 6A to 6C will have a relevant interest in the number of performance rights set out against their name in the table above. Full terms of the performance rights are set out in Annexure B.
The performance rights are proposed to be issued to incentivise the respective proposed recipient in connection with their role in the Company. The Board is of the view that remunerating its directors and management through the issue of equity is a useful tool for the Company to retain cash reserves whilst also providing valuable remuneration to its directors and management that aligns their interests with those of shareholders.
The number of performance rights was determined having regard to the capital structure of the Company and the desire to both preserve cash resources in the Company and provide balanced incentives to recipients.
Valuation
The Board has sought advice in respect of the methods for valuing the performance rights. That advice indicates a value of $0.009 (0.9 cents) per performance right. This advice was provided on the basis of a share price of $0.01.
The value of the aggregate performance rights proposed to be issued to each of the respective recipients at the value of $0.009 (0.9 cents) per performance right in accordance with the advice received by the Company is set out below:
| # | Recipient * | Number | Value (at valuation noted above) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6A | Andrew Knox | 175,000,000 | $1,575,000 |
| 6B | Robert Annells | 100,000,000 | $900,000 |
| 6C | Adrien Wing | 100,000,000 | $900,000 |
| Total | 375,000,000 | $3,375,000 |
The below table demonstrates the market capitalisation having regard to the valuation price and the price at which the existing fully paid ordinary shares of the Company would need to close at on the ASX for 5 consecutive trading days to achieve the Market Capitalisation Vesting Condition:
| Deemed price | $0.009 (0.9 cents) | $0.0216 (rounded up to 4 decimal places) |
|---|---|---|
| Market capitalisation (4,631,422,197multiple by the deemed price) | $41,682,800 | Approx. $100 million |
The figures in the above table are subject to rounding.
Director remuneration
Details of the current total remuneration package of each of the proposed recipients of performance rights are set out on page 18.

Potential dilutive impact of the issue of performance rights
The issue of performance rights the subject of Resolutions 6A to 6C will not result in dilution of the interests of shareholders of the Company until conversion of such performance rightsinto ordinary shares. There is no guarantee that a certain number of performance rights will be converted, if any.
An example of the potential dilutive impact of the conversion of the performance rights is set out in the table below:
| Example shareholder | Existing%(perAppendix2Areleased to ASX on 29 January 2021) | % post-conversion of performancerights |
|---|---|---|

| 200,000,000 | 4.35% | 3.98% |
|---|---|---|
All percentages are subject to rounding, and to the issue of further shares by the Company prior to the exercise and conversion of any performance rights.
Director recommendations
The Directors do not make any recommendations with respect to resolutions 6A to 6C as such recommendations are in connection with the remuneration of each of the Directors of the Company and the making of a recommendation by one Director in respect of the remuneration of one or more of the other Directors may be a conflict of interest (refer ASIC guidance in ASIC Regulatory Guide 76).
Resolution 7: Adoption of long term incentive plan
Background
Resolution 7 seeks shareholder approval for the adoption of a new long term incentive plan, and the issue of equity securities under that scheme, being the Red Sky Energy Limited Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP).
The Board proposes to issue performance rights under the LTIP. A performance right is a contractual right to acquire shares in the Company at a future date, subject to the satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions including the achievement of Board determined performance hurdles.
The performance rights issued under the LTIP will be used to attract, motivate and retain eligible participants and to provide them with an incentive to deliver growth and value to all Shareholders. The performance rights will also be used to attract and retain non-executive directors in a market place that is experiencing increased competition for talented directors who bring value to the Board and the Company.
Under the LTIP, the Board may offer eligible participants the opportunity to subscribe for such number of performance rights in the Company as the Board may decide, on the terms set out in the rules of the LTIP and the invitation letter given to the proposed participant.
A summary of the material terms of the LTIP is set out in Annexure B.
ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires that shareholder approval is required for an issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the entity during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) provides an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for securities issued under an employee incentive scheme within 3 years of shareholder approval of the scheme. The Company therefore seeks approval of the LTIP for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13 so that issues of securities under the LTIP do not impede the capacity of the Company to issue up to a further 15% of its capital without shareholder approval.
If Shareholders pass Resolution 7, the Company will be able to issue securities under the LTIP to parties within 3 years of shareholder approval without using the placement capacity available to the Company under the ASX Listing Rules (provided no more than the maximum number of securities that may be issued under the LTIP as approved by shareholders are issued). If Resolution 7 is not passed by shareholders then the Board will still adopt the LTIP as an incentive scheme of the Company, however any securities issued under the LTIP in this circumstance will use the placement capacity available to the Company under the ASX Listing Rules.
Notwithstanding if shareholders pass, or do not pass, Resolution 7, any issues of securities to Directors and other related parties would continue to require shareholder approval under Chapter 10 of the ASX Listing Rules.
The Company has not issued any securities pursuant to the LTIP as at the date of the Notice. In addition to those performance rights proposed to be granted under the LTIP to the Directors for which shareholder approval is sought under Resolutions 6A to 6C, performance rights may also be granted under the LTIP to unrelated senior managers and employees under the LTIP (either at the same time as the grant of performance rights to the Directors, or in future). As at the date of the Notice, it is proposed that the Company will grant Pauline Moffatt, the joint company
secretary, 25,000,000 performance rights with the same terms as those granted to the Directors for which shareholder approval is sought under Resolutions 6A to 6C following adoption of the LTIP.
