Strategic Rationale

  • Creation of a New +700kozpa⁷ Senior Gold Producer
  • Merger creates a leading Australian gold producer with a diversified portfolio of high-quality, long life assets in Western Australia and Canada
  • Positions the combined company as the 3rd largest primary ASX-listed gold producer and transitions it to a globally relevant senior gold producer

  • Strong Debt-Free Balance Sheet and Significant Cash Generation to Fund Next Phase of Growth and Drive Future Shareholder Returns

  • Combination of two highly cash generative, materially unhedged⁸ gold businesses, with combined annualised free cash flow of A$1.7 billion⁹ and a sector-leading balance sheet with A$1.9 billion¹⁰ in pro forma cash and bullion, no drawn debt and A$300 million in available debt facilities
  • Provides the platform and funding capacity for increased optionality for capital allocation across growth initiatives and shareholder returns

  • Large Mineral Endowment Supports Long Life Gold Production

  • Combined 6.0Moz of Ore Reserves and 20.5Moz of Mineral Resources¹¹ supporting long life operations
  • Significant Mineral Resource base and available milling capacity provide numerous opportunities for Mineral Resource conversion across the combined tenure, to support long life operations
  • Leading ASX gold sector project pipeline with two advanced stage gold development projects in established mining jurisdictions, with the balance sheet strength to potentially internally fund the development of both

  • Diversified Portfolio of Scale and Quality with Enhanced Operational Resilience

  • Consolidation of two cornerstone long life assets in Tropicana and Leonora with complementary large-scale and low-cost production profiles, providing flexibility and resilience to the combined company
  • Extensive infrastructure with combined company milling capacity of approximately 22.3Mtpa across 9 mills (increasing to approximately 24.3Mtpa following the anticipated completion of the mill expansion at King of the Hills by FY27 Q2)¹² in regions of extensive gold endowment

⁷ Refer to footnote 1.
⁸ Combined company is materially unhedged with Vault maintaining a small portion of hedges (~10koz) remaining for delivery in Q1 FY27.
⁹ Illustrative annualised free cash flow based on March 2026 quarterly free cash flow for each of Regis and Vault. Free cash flow is defined as the change in quarterly cash balance, prior to dividend payment, debt repayment, hedge book close out payment, proceeds from asset sales, share buybacks or M&A related charges (including stamp duty, integration costs and other one-off transaction costs). Refer to slide 11 in the presentation released to the ASX by Regis and Vault on the date of this announcement for further detail.
¹⁰ Pro forma cash and bullion as at 31 March 2026 prior to interim dividend payments made after the quarter end and excludes transaction costs.

  • Scope to Unlock Value Through Synergies
  • Opportunity to realise procurement savings across enlarged portfolio and reduce corporate costs
  • Over A$500 million in corporate tax benefits¹³ arising from write-up of tax assets
  • Larger and more diverse company to attract a lower cost of capital to fund future growth

  • Increased Scale and Global Market Relevance

  • Pro forma market capitalisation of approximately A$10.7 billion¹⁴ and expected improved trading liquidity (12-month median daily traded value of approximately A$51.5 million¹⁵)
  • Step-change increase in market relevance, opening up incremental market and gold index inclusion opportunities and supporting buying demand
  • Elevation to senior global gold producer peer group, creating a re-rate opportunity

  • Experienced Management Team with Proven Track Record

  • Combined company to leverage the complementary skill sets of the respective companies to deliver increased capability
  • Combined operational workforce with recognised technical strengths and skills to drive capital efficiencies and unlock value across the enlarged portfolio

Jim Beyer, Managing Director and CEO of Regis, said: "This merger creates Australia's third largest primary ASX-listed gold producer, which demands global recognition. Combining our high-quality assets across five Western Australian operating hubs, we expect annual production exceeding 700,000 ounces from a combined Mineral Resource base of 20.5 million ounces. With a strong balance sheet, approximately A$1.9 billion¹⁶ in cash and bullion, and a compelling organic growth pipeline, including the McPhillamys development project and Sugar Zone, the combined company is exceptionally well-positioned to deliver long-term value and enhanced capital returns for our shareholders."

Luke Tonkin, Managing Director and CEO of Vault, said: "This transaction represents a compelling opportunity for Vault shareholders. It allows them to retain meaningful ownership and governance influence while gaining exposure to a larger, more resilient gold company with enhanced scale, diversification and balance sheet strength. Vault's portfolio, anchored by the King of the Hills operation currently undergoing a significant mill expansion, brings long life high quality assets and a strong financial position to the merger.

By combining these strengths with Regis' proven operational and exploration capability, the merged company is better positioned to deliver sustained production, enhanced reserve replacement and long-term value creation across gold price cycles. Importantly, this combination is being executed from a position of strength. Both companies contribute debt-free balance sheets, Tier 1 jurisdiction assets, and full exposure to spot gold prices. Shareholders benefit from greater durability, capital optionality, and relevance in global gold markets without sacrificing discipline or quality. We believe this merger is the right strategic step for Vault shareholders, strengthening the Company's long-term outlook while preserving meaningful oversight, upside and optionality."

Transaction Summary

Regis and Vault are pleased to announce that they have agreed a binding scheme implementation deed ("SID") under which the two companies will merge via a Vault scheme of arrangement.

(~1.0Mtpa, currently on care and maintenance) and the Sugar Zone mill (~0.35Mtpa installed capacity). Milling capacity is expected to increase to ~24.3Mtpa post KOTH mill expansion to ~7.5 – 8.0Mtpa capacity by FY27 Q2.

¹⁶ Refer to footnote 10.


If the Scheme is implemented, Vault shareholders will receive 0.6947 new fully paid ordinary shares in Regis for each Vault share held¹⁷. Upon implementation of the Scheme, Regis shareholders will own approximately 51% and Vault shareholders will own approximately 49% of the combined company¹⁸.

In addition, both parties plan to maintain shareholder return initiatives in line with their respective capital management policies prior to transaction completion and are permitted to declare ordinary dividends during this period, ahead of the Scheme implementation date, subject to a commensurate adjustment to the merger exchange ratio.

The Scheme is subject to approval by Vault shareholders, Court and other regulatory approvals, an independent expert concluding (and continuing to conclude) that the Scheme is in the best interests of Vault Shareholders, no material adverse change in respect of Regis or Vault and other customary conditions. No Regis shareholder approval is required.

The SID also includes reciprocal exclusivity arrangements, subject to a 'fiduciary out' (including customary 'no shop', 'no talk', 'no due diligence', notification and matching right obligations), and reciprocal break fees. The amount of the break fee, should it become payable by either party, is approximately A$50.7 million.

Full details of the terms and conditions of the Scheme are set out in the SID, a copy of which is attached to this announcement.

Each director of Vault intends to vote all Vault shares held or controlled by them in favour of the Scheme, subject to the same qualifications.

The Scheme is also unanimously endorsed and supported by the Regis board, subject to no superior proposal for Regis emerging.

(a) A Condition Precedent (or a breach or non-fulfilment of a Condition Precedent) may only be waived in writing by a party noted in the table in Schedule 1 as being the party entitled to the benefit of the Condition Precedent, other than where the table in Schedule 1 notes that the Condition Precedent cannot be waived.

3451-7579-2715v1
page 33


Corrs Chambers Westgarth

(i) accepts the condition, the terms of that condition apply and are binding under this document; or
(ii) does not accept the condition, the Condition Precedent is not waived for the purposes of this document.

(e) A waiver of a Condition Precedent (or waiver of a breach or non-fulfilment of a Condition Precedent) in accordance with this clause 3.2:

(i) does not constitute a waiver of any other Condition Precedent (including where the event constitutes a breach of a number of Conditions Precedent) or a waiver of that Condition Precedent resulting from any other event; and
(ii) subject to 3.2(e)(i), precludes that party from suing the other for damages for breach of this document arising as a result of the breach or non-satisfaction of the relevant Condition Precedent or arising from the same event which gave rise to the breach or non-fulfilment of that Condition Precedent.

3.3 Reasonable endeavours

(a) Each party must, to the extent that it is within its power to do so, use its reasonable endeavours to procure that each of the Conditions Precedent for which it is listed as the party responsible in the table in Schedule 1 are satisfied as soon as practicable after the date of this document and continue to be satisfied at all times until the last time that relevant Condition Precedent provides that it is to be satisfied.

(b) Each party must not, without the prior written consent of the other party, take any action or refrain from taking any action (except as required by law or permitted under this document) designed to prevent a Condition Precedent being satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt:

(A) 5.00pm on the Business Day prior to the Second Court Date; and
(B) 5 Business Days after the date on which the notice under clause 3.4(c) is given, or if within that initial 5 Business Day period, Regis is remedying the relevant matter in good faith and, acting reasonably, notifies Vault that it requires up to a further 5 Business Days, within 10 Business Days after the date on which the notice under clause 3.4(c) is given,

the Condition Precedent will not be taken to have been breached or not satisfied with respect to that matter.

(g) Each party must keep the other party informed of any fact, matter or circumstance of which it becomes aware that may result in Regulatory Approval by the ACCC not being satisfied in accordance with its terms, including any material changes of fact, matter or circumstance after any application, notification or written material communications is made to the ACCC as soon as that party becomes aware of the change.

(h) Notwithstanding any other clause in this document, for the purposes of satisfying Regulatory Approval by the ACCC, except as otherwise agreed in writing between the parties:

(i) neither party (nor their Related Bodies Corporate) is required to provide or to agree to provide any written undertakings in connection with the satisfaction of Regulatory Approval by the ACCC which are not acceptable to that party (acting reasonably); and

(ii) a party must not provide any such undertakings except where acceptable to the other party (acting reasonably).

Corrs Chambers Westgarth

(c) subject to clause 3.3(f), promptly, and in any event within two Business Days, notify the other in writing if it becomes aware of the happening of an event or occurrence that would, does, will or would reasonably be likely to:

(i) prevent a Condition Precedent being satisfied; or
(ii) mean that any Condition Precedent will otherwise not be satisfied,

before the time and date specified for its satisfaction (or being satisfied by the End Date, if no such time and date is specified) or such Condition Precedent is not otherwise satisfied by that time and date.

3.5 Certificate

(a) Before the Delivery Time on the Second Court Date:

(i) Vault must provide a certificate (signed on behalf of Vault) to Regis confirming whether or not:

(A) in respect of matters within its knowledge, the Conditions Precedent (other than the Condition Precedent in item 6 (Court approval) of Schedule 1) have been satisfied or waived in accordance with this clause 3; and

(b) Each party must deliver to the other party a draft of its certificate to be provided under clause 3.5(a) by 5:00pm on the date that is two Business Days prior to the Second Court Date.

3.6 Termination on failure of a Condition Precedent

(a) If:

(i) there is an act, a failure to act, an event or an occurrence that would, or does, prevent any of the Conditions Precedent being satisfied, or if any of the Conditions Precedent will not otherwise be satisfied (and the non-fulfilment which would otherwise occur has not already been waived in accordance with this document), by the earlier of:

(A) the time and date specified in this document for the satisfaction of that Condition Precedent; and
(B) the End Date;

3451-7579-2715v1


Corrs Chambers Westgarth

or such Condition Precedent is otherwise not satisfied by that specified time and date or by the End Date (as applicable);

(ii) there is a breach or non-fulfilment of a Condition Precedent which is not waived in accordance with this document by the time or date specified in this document for the satisfaction of the Condition Precedent; or
(iii) it becomes more likely than not that the Scheme will not become Effective by the End Date,

then Vault and Regis must promptly consult acting reasonably and in good faith with a view to determining whether:

(iv) the Scheme, or a transaction which results in the transfer of all of the Vault Shares to Regis, may proceed by way of alternative means or methods;
(v) to extend the relevant time or date for satisfaction of any Condition Precedent contemplated by clause 3.6(a)(i);
(vi) a party with a right to waive any Condition Precedent contemplated by clause 3.6(a)(i) will do so and if so on what (if any) conditions;

(b) Subject to clause 3.6(d) and clause 3.6(f), if the parties are unable to reach agreement under clause 3.6(a) by the earlier of:

(i) the date that is five Business Days after commencing discussions in relation to the relevant event or occurrence that would, or does, prevent a Condition Precedent being satisfied;
(ii) the date that is five Business Days after the time and date specified in this document for the satisfaction of the Condition Precedent; and
(iii) 5.00pm on the Business Day before the End Date,

as appropriate, then, unless that Condition Precedent has been waived in accordance with clause 3.2, a party noted in the table in Schedule 1 as being entitled to the benefit of that Condition Precedent (which may be either party where both parties are noted in the table in Schedule 1 as being entitled to the benefit of the Condition Precedent) may (subject to clause 3.6(c)) terminate this document without any liability to the other party because of that termination. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause 3.6(b) affects:

(iv) the obligation of Vault to pay the Vault Reimbursement Fee, if it is required to do so under clause 10; or

3451-7579-2715v1
page 39


Corrs Chambers Westgarth

(v) the obligation of Regis to pay the Regis Reimbursement Fee, if it is required to do so under clause 11.

(c) A party will not be entitled to terminate this document pursuant to clause 3.6(b) if:

(i) the relevant Condition Precedent has not been satisfied as a result of:

(A) a breach of this document by that party; or
(B) a deliberate act or omission of that party (except acts or omissions expressly permitted by this document) which either alone or together with other circumstances prevents that Condition Precedent being satisfied; or

(ii) the relevant Condition Precedent is stated in Schedule 1 to be for the sole benefit of the other party.

(d) If the Condition Precedent in item 4 (Shareholder approval) of Schedule 1 is not satisfied only because of a failure to obtain the majority required by sub-paragraph 411(4)(a)(ii)(A) of the Corporations Act, then either party may by written notice to the other within three Business Days after the date of the conclusion of the Scheme Meeting require the approval of the Court under section 411(4)(b) of the Corporations Act be sought (Order), provided that the party has, in good faith, reasonably formed the view that the prospect of the Court giving its approval in the circumstances is reasonable and the written notice provided to the other party sets out the grounds on which the Court may give its approval.

If such notice is given:

(i) Vault must apply to the Court for the Order and make such submissions to the Court and file such evidence as counsel engaged by Vault to represent it in Court proceedings related to the Scheme in consultation with Regis, considers is reasonably required to seek to persuade the Court to exercise its discretion to make the Order; and
(ii) the cost of the application for the Order is to be borne equally between the parties.

(e) If an Order is sought under clause 3.6(d); and:

(i) approval is given, the Condition Precedent in item 4 (Shareholder approval) of Schedule 1 is deemed to be satisfied for all purposes; or
(ii) the Court refuses to make an order approving the Scheme which satisfies the Condition Precedent in item 4 (Shareholder approval) of Schedule 1:

(A) Vault may (and must at Regis's request) appeal the Court's decision to the fullest extent possible (except to the extent that the parties agree otherwise, or an independent senior counsel of the Western Australian bar practising in the field of corporate law indicates that, in their view, an appeal would not have reasonable prospects of success before the End Date). If any such appeal request is undertaken at the request of Regis, Regis will bear Vault's costs of the appeal (including the costs of the independent senior counsel) unless the parties agree otherwise. If any such appeal is undertaken by Vault without the prior request from

3451-7579-2715v1
page 40


Corrs Chambers Westgarth

Regis, each party will bear its own costs of the appeal, unless the parties otherwise agree.

(B) If no such appeal is undertaken, either party may terminate this document.

(f) In relation to the Condition Precedent in item 2 (ACCC approval) of Schedule 1, if the ACCC has given written notice that a notification is subject to Phase 2 review within the meaning of section 51ABZJ of the CCA, a party may, with the other party's prior written consent, request the ACCC to cease considering the notification.

3451-7579-2715v1


Corrs Chambers Westgarth

4.4 Fractional entitlements

If the number of Scheme Shares held by a Scheme Shareholder at the Record Date is such that the aggregate entitlement of the Scheme Shareholder to Scheme Consideration comprising New Regis Shares includes a fractional entitlement to a New Regis Share, then the entitlement will be rounded as follows:

(a) if the fractional entitlement is less than 0.5, it will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Regis Shares; and

(a) Regis has no obligation to issue, and will not issue, any New Regis Shares to:

(i) an Ineligible Foreign Shareholder; or
(ii) a Relevant Small Parcel Shareholder,

(b) The net proceeds of the Relevant Regis Shares will be dealt with in accordance with the terms of the Scheme.
(c) Regis must appoint the Sale Agent at least five Business Days prior to the First Court Date.

4.6 Share splitting

If Regis is of the opinion (acting reasonably) that two or more Scheme Shareholders (each of whom holds a number of Scheme Shares that results in rounding in accordance with clause 4.4) have, before the Record Date, been party to the splitting of Vault Shares into two or more parcels of Vault Shares (whether or not it results in any change in beneficial ownership of the Vault Shares) in an attempt to obtain unfair advantage by reference to such rounding, if requested by Regis, Vault must give notice to those Scheme Shareholders:

(a) setting out their names and registered addresses as shown in the Vault Share Register;
(b) stating that opinion; and
(c) attributing to one of them specifically identified in the notice the Scheme Shares held by all of them,

and, after such notice has been given, the Scheme Shareholder specifically identified in the notice as the deemed holder of all the specified Scheme Shares will, for the purposes of the Scheme and Deed Poll, be taken to hold all of those Scheme Shares and each of the other Scheme Shareholders whose names and registered addresses are set out in the notice will, for the purposes of the Scheme and Deed Poll, be taken to hold no Scheme Shares. Regis, in complying with the provisions of the Scheme and Deed Poll relating to it in respect of the Scheme Shareholder specifically identified in the notice as the deemed

(i) the Vault Board exercising its discretion under clause 7.1(b) of the Vault Employee Incentive Plan to accelerate the vesting and exercise of all Vault Performance Rights;
(ii) the Vault Board taking all reasonable steps and actions as are necessary to reflect the exercise of the Vault Performance Rights in accordance with their terms prior to the Record Date;

(b) If Regis proposes to Vault, or announces, amendments to the Scheme or a new proposal that constitutes a matching or superior proposal to the terms of the actual, proposed or potential Vault Competing Proposal (Regis Counterproposal) before the Cut Off Date, Vault must procure that the Vault Board considers the Regis Counterproposal and if the Vault Board, acting in good faith, determines that the Regis Counterproposal (taking into account all of its terms and conditions) would provide an equivalent or superior outcome for Vault Shareholders as a whole compared with the actual, proposed or potential Vault Competing Proposal, then:

If the Vault Board, acting in good faith, determines that the Regis Counterproposal (taking into account all of its terms and conditions) does not provide an equivalent or superior outcome for Vault Shareholders as a whole compared with the actual, proposed or potential Vault Competing Proposal, then Vault must promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of the Vault Board making such determination) notify Regis in writing of the determination.

(c) For the purposes of this clause 12.7, each successive material modification of any actual, proposed or potential Vault Competing Proposal will constitute a new Vault Competing Proposal, and the procedures set out in this clause 12.7 must again be followed prior to any Vault Group Member entering into any agreement, arrangement, understanding or commitment in respect of such Vault Competing Proposal.

(a) after receiving written legal advice from its external legal advisers and after consulting with its financial advisers, the Vault Competing Proposal is a Vault Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to become a Vault Superior Proposal; and

(b) after receiving written legal advice from its external legal advisers, compliance with that clause would constitute, or would be reasonably likely to constitute, a breach of the fiduciary or statutory duties of the Vault Board.

14.3 Effect of termination

(a) In the event of termination of this document, each party will be released from its obligations under this document (and all future obligations under this document will immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect, including obligations in respect of the Proposed Transaction), except that the provisions of clauses 8, 10, 11, 15, 17 and 18 (inclusive) survive termination and remain in force.

Corrs Chambers Westgarth

the Regis Confidentiality Deed survives execution of this document (with the Regis Confidentiality Deed terminating on 3 February 2027).

The rights and obligations of the parties under the Confidentiality Deeds survive termination of this document.

15.4 Required disclosure

(a) Where a party is required by applicable law or the Listing Rules to make any announcement or to make any disclosure in connection with the Proposed Transaction or any other transaction the subject of this document or the Scheme, it may do so despite clause 15.3 but only after using reasonable endeavours, to the extent practicable and lawful, to consult with the other party before making the relevant disclosure and take account of any reasonable comments received from the other party in relation to the form and content of the announcement or disclosure.

(b) Notwithstanding clause 15.4(a), a party does not require the other party's approval to issue any public disclosures if the content of those disclosures:

(i) is limited to procedural matters or information that has previously been disclosed within the Scheme Booklet or any other ASX announcement, provided that the disclosing party gives the other party prior notice that it proposes to make a public disclosure in reliance on this clause 15.4(b); or

(ii) relates to a Vault Competing Proposal or a Regis Competing Proposal.

(b) agrees to (in satisfaction of Regis' obligation to provide, or cause the provision of, such Scheme Consideration under clause 6.1(a)) issue, or cause to be issued, the New Regis Shares in accordance with this clause 6 (including in accordance with clause 6.7 in respect to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders and Relevant Small Parcel Shareholders).

6.2 Provision of Scheme Consideration

Subject to the other provisions of this clause 6, the obligations of Regis to provide (or procure the provision of) the Scheme Consideration to the Scheme Shareholders will be satisfied by procuring that:

(a) the name and address of each such Scheme Shareholder is entered into the Regis Share Register on the Implementation Date in respect of the New Regis Shares to which it is entitled under this clause 6; and
(b) holding statement (or equivalent document) is sent to the Registered Address of each such Scheme Shareholder, on or before the date that is five Business Days after the Implementation Date, representing the number of New Regis Shares issued to the Scheme Shareholder pursuant to this Scheme.

6.3 Fractional entitlements

(a) If the number of Scheme Shares held by a Scheme Shareholder at the Record Date is such that the aggregate entitlement of the Scheme Shareholder to Scheme Consideration comprising New Regis Shares includes a fractional entitlement to a New Regis Share, then the entitlement of that Scheme Shareholder must be rounded as follows:

(i) if the fractional entitlement is less than 0.5, it will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Regis Shares; and
(ii) if the fractional entitlement is 0.5 or more, it will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Regis Shares.

(b) If a Nominee Holder holds more than one parcel of Scheme Shares as trustee or nominee for, or otherwise on account of, another person, then for the purposes of this clause 6.3, the Scheme Consideration for the Nominee Holder will be calculated and rounded based on the aggregate number of Scheme Shares held by the Nominee Holder in those parcels as trustee or nominee for, or otherwise on account of, other persons.

6.4 Shareholder splitting or division

If Regis is of the opinion (acting reasonably) that two or more Scheme Shareholders (each of whom holds a number of Scheme Shares that results in rounding in accordance with clause 6.3) have, before the Record Date, been party to the splitting of Vault Shares into two or more parcels of Vault Shares (whether or not it results in any change in beneficial ownership of the Vault Shares) in an attempt to obtain unfair advantage by reference to such rounding, if requested by Regis, Vault must give notice to those Scheme Shareholders:

(a) setting out their names and Registered Addresses;
(b) stating that opinion; and

3474-7518-8811v13456-1848-7627v13459-8639-2395v1


Corrs Chambers Westgarth

(c) attributing to one of them specifically identified in the notice the Scheme Shares held by all of them,

and, after such notice has been given, the Scheme Shareholder specifically identified in the notice as the deemed holder of all the specified Scheme Shares will, for the purposes of other provisions of this Scheme and the Deed Poll, be taken to hold all of those Scheme Shares and each of the other Scheme Shareholders whose names and Registered Addresses are set out in the notice will, for the purposes of the other provisions of this Scheme and the Deed Poll, be taken to hold no Scheme Shares. Regis, in complying with the other provisions of this Scheme and the Deed Poll relating to it in respect of the Scheme Shareholder specifically identified in the notice as the deemed holder of the specified Scheme Shares, will be taken to have satisfied and discharged its obligations to the other Scheme Shareholders named in the notice under the terms of this Scheme and the Deed Poll.

(b) agrees to the variation, cancellation or modification of the Rights attached to their Scheme Shares constituted by or resulting from this Scheme;

(f) agrees to be bound by the Regis constitution;

(g) agrees and acknowledges that the issue of New Regis Shares in accordance with clause 6.1 constitutes satisfaction of all that person's entitlements under this Scheme;

(h) acknowledges that this Scheme binds Vault and all of the Scheme Shareholders (including those who do not attend the Scheme Meeting and those who do not vote, or voted against this Scheme, at the Scheme Meeting) and, to the extent of any inconsistency, overrides the constitution of Vault; and

(i) irrevocably consents to Vault and Regis doing all things and executing all deeds, instruments, transfers or other documents as may be necessary or desirable to give full effect to this Scheme and the transactions contemplated by it,

(iv) the New Regis Shares that would otherwise have been issued to the Ineligible Foreign Shareholder or the Relevant Small Parcel Shareholder (Ineligible Consideration Shares); and

(i) in consultation with Regis, sells or procures the sale of all of the Relevant Regis Shares (on the ASX or off-market) in such manner, at such price and on such terms as the Sale Agent determines in good faith (and at the risk of the Ineligible Foreign Shareholder, the Relevant Small Parcel Shareholder or the FRCGW Holder, as the case may be); and
(ii) subject to receipt of the proceeds of the sale under clause 6.7(b)(i), remits, or procures to be remitted, to Regis the proceeds of sale (after deducting any applicable brokerage, stamp duty and other selling costs, taxes and charges), as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within ten Business Days of receipt.

(d) Each Ineligible Foreign Shareholder, Relevant Small Parcel Shareholder and FRCGW Holder acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) none of Regis, Vault or the Sale Agent give any assurance or representation as to the price that will be achieved for the sale of the Relevant Regis Shares or the amount of proceeds to be received by Ineligible Foreign Shareholders, Relevant Small Parcel Shareholders and/or FRCGW Holders (as applicable); and

Corrs Chambers Westgarth

applicable) by prepaid post to the Registered Address (as at the Record Date) of that Ineligible Foreign Shareholder, Relevant Small Parcel Shareholder or FRCGW Holder (as applicable), a cheque in the name of that Ineligible Foreign Shareholder, Relevant Small Parcel Shareholder or FRCGW Holder (as applicable) (in the case of joint holders, the cheque will be drawn in the name of the joint holders and dispatched in accordance with the procedures set out in clause 6.11),

(f) Each Ineligible Foreign Shareholder, Relevant Small Parcel Shareholder and FRCGW Holder appoints Vault, and each director and officer of Vault, as its agent to receive on its behalf any financial services guide (or similar or equivalent document) and any other notices (including any updates of those documents) that the Sale Agent is required to provide to the Ineligible Foreign Shareholder, Relevant Small Parcel Shareholder or FRCGW Holder (as applicable) under the Corporations Act or any other applicable law.

(g) Payment of the relevant amounts calculated in accordance with clause 6.7(c) satisfies in full Regis' obligations to the Ineligible Foreign Shareholder, Relevant Small Parcel Shareholder or FRCGW Holder (as applicable) in respect of the Scheme Consideration and satisfies in full the Ineligible Foreign Shareholder's, Relevant Small Parcel Shareholder's or FRCGW Holder's (as applicable) rights to Scheme Consideration under this Scheme, and no interest will be payable on any proceeds.

6.8 Other ineligible Scheme Shareholders

Where the issue of New Regis Shares to which a Scheme Shareholder (other than an Ineligible Foreign Shareholder, a Relevant Small Parcel Shareholder or a FRCGW Holder) would otherwise be entitled under this Scheme would result in a breach of law:

(a) Regis will issue the maximum possible number of New Regis Shares to the Scheme Shareholder without giving rise to such a breach; and

(b) any further New Regis Shares to which that Scheme Shareholder is entitled, but the issue of which to the Scheme Shareholder would give rise to such a breach, will instead be issued to the Sale Agent and dealt with under clause 6.7, as if:

(i) references to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders also included that Scheme Shareholder; and

(ii) references to Relevant Regis Shares also included any of that Scheme Shareholder's New Regis Shares that have been issued to the Sale Agent.

6.9 Orders of a Court or Government Agency

(a) Vault or Regis may deduct and withhold from any consideration which would otherwise be provided to a Scheme Shareholder in accordance with this clause 6, any amount which Vault and Regis determine is required to be deducted and withheld from that consideration under any applicable law, including any order, direction or notice made or given by a court of competent jurisdiction or by another Government Agency.

(b) If written notice is given to Vault (or the Vault Registry) or Regis (or Regis' share registry) of an order, direction or notice made or given by a court of competent jurisdiction or by another Government Agency that:

3474-7518-8811v13456-1848-7627v13459-8639-2395v1


Corrs Chambers Westgarth

Government Agency or other third party (either through payment of a sum or the issuance of a security), then Vault or Regis (as applicable) shall be entitled to procure that provision of that consideration is made in accordance with that order, direction or notice (and payment or provision of that consideration in accordance with that order, direction or notice will be treated for all purposes under this Scheme as having been paid or provided to that Scheme Shareholder); or

(ii) prevents consideration being provided to any particular Scheme Shareholder in accordance with this clause 6, or the payment or provision of such consideration is otherwise prohibited by applicable law, Vault or Regis (as applicable) shall be entitled to (as applicable) direct Regis not to issue (or procure the issue of), or to issue or provide to a trustee or nominee, such number of New Regis Shares as that Scheme Shareholder would otherwise be entitled to under this clause 6, until such time as payment or provision of the consideration in accordance with this clause 6 is permitted by that order or direction or otherwise by law.

(c) To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld under or in accordance with this clause 6.9, such deducted or withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes under this Scheme as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, and will constitute the full discharge of Regis' obligations under clause 6.2 with respect to that amount until that amount is no longer required to be retained.

6.10 Shares to rank equally

Regis covenants in favour of Vault (in its own right and on behalf of the Scheme Shareholders) that:

(a) the New Regis Shares will, upon their issue, rank equally in all respects with all other Regis Shares then on issue;

(b) subject to this Scheme becoming Effective, it will use best endeavours to ensure that the New Regis Shares will be listed for quotation on the official list of ASX on the Business Day after the Effective Date (or such later date as the ASX may require) initially on a deferred settlement basis and commence trading on a normal (T+2) settlement basis no later than the first Business Day after the Implementation Date (which approval may be conditional on the issue of those New Regis Shares and other conditions customarily imposed by the ASX);

(c) the New Regis Shares will be duly and validly issued in accordance with applicable laws; and

(d) on issue, each New Regis Share will be fully paid and free from any Security Interest.

6.11 Joint holders

In the case of Scheme Shares held in joint names:

(a) any New Regis Shares to be issued under this Scheme must be issued and registered in the names of the joint holders and entry in the Regis Share Register must take place in the same order as the holders' names appear in the Vault Share Register;

(b) any cheque required to be sent under this Scheme must be payable to the joint holders and sent to the holder whose name appears first in the Vault Share Register on the Record Date; and

7 Dealings in Scheme Shares

7.1 Determination of Scheme Shareholders

To establish the identity of the Scheme Shareholders, dealings in Scheme Shares or other alterations to the Vault Share Register will only be recognised by Vault if:

(a) in the case of dealings of the type to be effected using CHESS, the transferee is registered in the Vault Share Register as the holder of the relevant Scheme Shares at the Record Date; and
(b) in all other cases, registrable transmission applications or transfers in registrable form in respect of those dealings are received on or before 5.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date at the place where the Vault Share Register is kept,

and Vault must not accept for registration, nor recognise for any purpose (except a transfer to Regis pursuant to this Scheme and any subsequent transfer by Regis or its successors in title) any transfer or transmission application or other request received after such times, or received prior to such times but not in registrable or actionable form, as appropriate.

7.2 Vault Share Register

Vault must register, or cause to be registered, any registrable transmission applications or transfers of Vault Shares received in accordance with clause 7.1(b) on or before the Record Date, provided that nothing in this clause 7.2 requires Vault to register a transfer that would result in a Vault Shareholder holding a parcel of Vault Shares that is less than a 'marketable parcel' (as that term is defined in the Listing Rules).

7.3 No disposals after Record Date

If this Scheme becomes Effective, a holder of Scheme Shares (and any person claiming through that holder) must not dispose of or transfer, or otherwise deal with, or purport or agree to dispose of or transfer, or otherwise deal with, any Scheme Shares or any interest in them after the Record Date in any way except as set out in this Scheme and any such disposal, transfer, dealing or purported disposal, transfer or dealing will be void, of no legal effect whatsoever and Vault must disregard any such disposal, transfer, dealing or purported disposal, transfer or dealing.

7.4 Maintenance of Vault Share Register

For the purpose of determining entitlements to the Scheme Consideration, Vault must maintain the Vault Share Register in accordance with the provisions of this clause 7 until the Scheme Consideration has been provided to the Scheme Shareholders and Regis has been entered in the Vault Share Register as the holder of all the Scheme Shares. The Vault Share Register in this form will solely determine entitlements to the Scheme Consideration.

7.5 Effect of certificates and holding statements

Subject to provision of the Scheme Consideration and registration of the transfer to Regis contemplated in clauses 5.2 and 7.4, any statements of holding in respect of Scheme Shares will cease to have effect after the Record Date as documents of title in respect of those shares

3474-7518-8811v13456-1848-7627v13459-8639-2395v1


Corrs Chambers Westgarth

(other than statements of holding in favour of Regis and its successors in title). After the Record Date, each entry current on the Vault Share Register as at the Record Date (other than entries in respect of Regis or its successors in title) will cease to have effect except as evidence of entitlement to the Scheme Consideration in respect of the Vault Shares relating to that entry.

7.6 Details of Scheme Shareholders

(a) Within one Business Day after the Record Date, Vault must ensure that details of the names, Registered Addresses and holdings of Scheme Shares for each Scheme Shareholder, as shown in the Vault Share Register at the Record Date, are available and provided to Regis in such form as Regis reasonably requires.

(b) Each Scheme Shareholder agrees that the information referred to in this clause 7.6 may be disclosed to Regis, its advisers, share registry and other service providers to the extent necessary to effect this Scheme.

Vault must apply to the ASX to suspend trading in the Vault Shares on the ASX with effect from the close of trading on ASX on the Effective Date, or such other date and time agreed in writing between Vault and Regis.

7.8 Termination of quotation of Vault Shares

Vault must apply:

(a) for termination of the official quotation of Vault Shares on ASX; and

(b) to have itself removed from the official list of ASX,

in each case with effect on and from the close of trading on the Business Day immediately following the Implementation Date, or such other date and time agreed in writing between Vault and Regis (acting reasonably and following consultation with the ASX).

8 Instructions and notification

If not prohibited by law (and including where permitted or facilitated by relief granted by a Government Agency), all instructions, notifications or elections by a Scheme Shareholder to Vault that are binding or deemed binding between the Scheme Shareholder and Vault relating to Vault or Vault Shares, including instructions, notifications or elections relating to:

(a) whether dividends are to be paid by cheque or into a specific bank account;

(b) payments of dividends on Vault Shares; and

(c) notices or other communications from Vault (including by email),

will be deemed from the Implementation Date (except to the extent determined otherwise by Regis in its sole discretion), by reason of this Scheme, to be made by the Scheme Shareholder to Regis and to be a binding instruction, notification or election to, and accepted by, Regis until that instruction, notification or election is revoked or amended in writing addressed to Regis at its registry.

9 Power of attorney

Each Scheme Shareholder, without the need for any further act by any Scheme Shareholder:

(b) on and from the Effective Date, irrevocably appoints Vault (and each of its directors, officers and secretaries (jointly and each of them severally)) as its attorney and agent for the purpose of executing any document, or doing or taking any other act, necessary or expedient to give effect to this Scheme and the transactions contemplated by it, including the Share Scheme Transfer on the Implementation Date,

and Vault accepts such appointment. Vault as attorney and agent of each Scheme Shareholder, may sub-delegate its functions, authorities or powers under this clause 9 to all or any of its directors, officers, secretaries or employees (jointly, severally or jointly and severally).

10 Notices

10.1 No deemed receipt

If a notice, transfer, transmission application, direction or other communication referred to in this Scheme is sent by post to Vault, it will not be taken to be received in the ordinary course of post or on a date and time other than the date and time (if any) on which it is actually received at Vault's registered office or at the office of the Vault Registry.

10.2 Accidental omission

The accidental omission to give notice of the Scheme Meeting or the non-receipt of such a notice by any Vault Shareholder will not, unless so ordered by the Court, invalidate the Scheme Meeting or the proceedings of the Scheme Meeting.
