A person appointed as a proxy must not vote, on the basis of that appointment, on this Resolution if: (a) the proxy is either: (i) a member of the Key Management Personnel; or (ii) a Closely Related Party of such a member; and (b) the appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on this Resolution. However, the above prohibition does not apply if: (a) the proxy is the Chair; and (b) the appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel. |
| Resolution 2 – Approval to issue Incentive Performance Rights to Director – Mr Mendel Rogatsky |
|
| Resolution 3 – Approval to increase the threshold under the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan |
Important information concerning proxy votes on Resolutions 1, 2 and 3
The Corporations Act places certain restrictions on the ability of Key Management Personnel and their closely related parties to vote on the Resolutions connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel.
Additionally, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 by any person appointed as a proxy by any person who is either a member of the Key Management Personnel or a Closely Related Party of such a member, unless:
-
(a) it is cast by the person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with directions on the proxy form; or
-
(b) it is cast by the Chair of the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
For these reasons, Shareholders who intend to vote by proxy should carefully consider the identity of their proxy and are encouraged to direct their proxy as to how to vote on all Resolutions. In particular, Shareholders who intend to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy (including an appointment by default) are encouraged to direct the Chair of the Meeting as to how to vote on all Resolutions.
If the Chair of the Meeting is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as your proxy, you can direct the Chair of the Meeting to vote for, against or abstain from voting on Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 by marking the box opposite the respective Resolution on the Proxy Form. You should direct the Chair of the Meeting how to vote on these Resolutions.
However, if the Chair of the Meeting is your proxy and you do not direct the Chair of the Meeting how to vote in respect of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 on the Proxy Form, you will be deemed to have directed and expressly authorised the Chair of the Meeting to vote your proxy in favour of the relevant Resolution. This express authorisation acknowledged that the Chair of the Meeting may vote your proxy even if:
-
(a) Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member or members of the Key Management Personnel for the Company; and
-
(b) the Chair of the Meeting has an interest in the outcome of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 and that votes cast by the Chair of the Meeting for these Resolutions, other than as authorised proxy holder, will be disregarded because of that interest.
Voting, Attendance Entitlement and proxy
A Member who is entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting and who wishes to vote on the Resolutions contained in this Notice should either attend in person at the time, date and place of the Meeting set out above or appoint a proxy or proxies to attend or vote on the Member’s behalf.
A Member who is entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting and who wishes to vote on the Resolutions contained in this Notice should appoint the Chair as their proxy to attend and vote on the Member’s behalf. The Company encourages shareholders to appoint the Chair as their proxy.
Shareholders are encouraged to lodge their Proxy Forms online at https://investor.automic.com.au/#/loginsah.
In completing the attached Proxy Form, Members must be aware that where the Chair is appointed as their proxy, they will be directing the Chair to vote in accordance with the Chair’s voting intention unless you indicate otherwise by marking the “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” boxes. The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of each item of business. Members should note that they are entitled to appoint the Chair as a proxy with a direction to cast the votes contrary to the Chair’s voting intention, or to abstain from voting, on any Resolution in the Proxy Form. Also, Members may appoint, as their proxy, a person other than the Chair.
A proxy need not be a Member. For the convenience of Members, a Proxy Form is enclosed. A Member who is entitled to attend and cast two or more votes is entitled to appoint two proxies. Where two proxies are appointed, each appointment may specify the proportion or number of voting rights each proxy may exercise. If the Member appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half of the votes able to be cast by the appointing Member.

If any Shareholder is in doubt as to how they should vote, they should seek advice from their legal, financial or other professional adviser prior to voting.
Introduction
These Explanatory Notes have been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be considered at the General Meeting of the Company. The Directors recommend Shareholders read these Explanatory Notes in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
Terms defined in the Notice of Meeting have the same meaning in these Explanatory Notes.
GENERAL BUSINESS
Resolutions 1 and 2 - Approval to issue Incentive Performance Rights to Directors – Aaron Zaetz and Mendel Rogatsky
These Resolutions seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of up to an aggregate of 100,000,000 Performance Rights to Mr Zaetz (being the subject of Resolution 1) and Mr Rogatsky (being the subject of Resolution 2) (or their nominee/s) ( the Related Parties ) pursuant to the Plan, on the terms and conditions set out below (Incentive Performance Rights ).
Further details in respect of the Incentive Performance Rights proposed to be issued are set out in the table below.
| Class | Quantum | Recipient | Vesting Condition | Vesting and Expiry Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Performance rights |
50,000,000 | Mr Zaetz | The Incentive Performance Rights will vest upon the earlier to occur of; (a) the Company announcing an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (of at least an inferred resource) in accordance with the JORC Code in respect of; (i) of at least 1,000,000 ounces of contained gold (for example approximately 15,600,000 tonnes at 2 grams per tonne); or (ii) of at least 100,000 tonnes of contained antimony (for example, 10,000,000 million tonnes at 1.0% Sb); or (iii) of at least 10,000 tonnes of contained tungsten (for example, 2 million tonnes at 0.5% WO3), or (b) the Company’s Shares achieving a volume weighted average price (VWAP) per Share of $0.10 calculated over 20 consecutive trading days on which the Shares have actually traded. |
31 July 2030. |

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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 constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Parties are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (other than Mr Aharon Zaetz) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Incentive Performance Rights under Resolution 1, because the agreement to issue the Incentive Performance Rights, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Zaetz, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
The Directors (other than Mr Mendel Rogatsky) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Incentive Performance Rights under Resolution 2, because the agreement to issue the Incentive Performance Rights, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Rogatsky, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:
-
10.14.1 a director of the entity;
-
10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or
-
10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.
The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue within 3 years 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 (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue will not use any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue. The Company may consider other ways to pay the Related Parties, including in cash.
In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in respect of Resolutions 1 and 2:
| Name of the person to whom Securities will be issued |
The Related Parties (or their nominees). |
|---|---|
| Categorisation under Listing Rule 10.14 |
The Related Parties fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.14.1 as they are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Any nominee(s) of the Related Parties who receive Incentive Performance Rights may constitute ‘associates’ for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.2. |
| Number of Securities and class to be issued |
100,000,000 Incentive Performance Rights (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) will be allocated as set out in the table included above. |
| Securities previously issued to the recipient/(s) under the Plan |
No Securities have been previously issued under the Plan. |
| Terms of Securities | The Incentive Performance Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Appendix 2. |
| Material terms of the Plan | A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Appendix 1. |
| Material terms of any loan |
No loan is being made in connection with the acquisition of the Incentive Performance Rights. |
| Price or other consideration the Company will receive for the Securities |
The Incentive Performance Rights will be issued at a nil issue price. |
| Date(s) on or by which the Securities will be issued |
The Company expects to issue the Securities within 5 Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not issue any Securities later than 3 years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). |
| Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue |
The purpose of the issue is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and reward their performance as Directors and to provide cost effective remuneration to the Related Parties, 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 the Related Parties. |
| Consideration of type of Security to be issued |
The Company has agreed to issue the Incentive Performance Rights for the following reasons: a) the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders; b) the issue to the Related Parties will align the interests of the recipients with those of Shareholders; c) the issue is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to each of the Related Parties; and d) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Incentive Performance Rights on the terms proposed. |
| Consideration of quantum of Securities to be issued |
The number of Securities to be issued has been determined based upon a consideration of: a) the significant value for all Shareholders that is anticipated from achieving any of the proposed key performance indicator vesting conditions; b) the remuneration of the proposed recipients; and c) incentives to attract and retain the service of the proposed recipients 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 Incentive Options upon the terms proposed. |
| Remuneration package | The total remuneration package for each of the recipients for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below: |
| Related Party | Related Party | Related Party | Current Financial Year ending 30 June 2025 |

Board Recommendation
The Related Parties decline to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2 due to their material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolutions on the basis that they may be issued Performance Rights should Resolutions 1 and 2 be passed.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
Resolution 3 – Approval to increase the threshold under the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) to increase the maximum number of Securities that may be issued under the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan to be adopted at the general meeting of shareholders on 25 July 2025 ( Plan ), from the present maximum of 120,000,000 Securities to a maximum of 325,000,000 Securities.
It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately and this maximum number may never be issued at all. This approval assumes that Shareholders approve the number of Securities to 120,000,000 on the 25 July 2025. In the event that Shareholders do not approve the maximum of 120,000,000 on 25 July 2025, the Securities will increase from the present maximum of 0 Securities to a maximum of 205,000,000 Securities.
The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees, contractors and other persons who provide services to the Company, and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Securities under the Plan will provide these parties with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.
If this Resolution is passed, the number of Securities that the Company will be able to issue under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years will increase from 120,000,000 Securities (assuming Shareholders approve the maximum to 120,000,0000 Securities on 25 July 2025) to a maximum of 325,000,000 Securities. The issue of any Securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of Securities stated below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Securities under the Plan to eligible participants up to the current approved threshold of 120,000,000 Securities (assuming that Shareholders approve this threshold on 25 July 2025). If this Resolution is not passed and the increase to the threshold on 25 July 2025 is also not passed, the Company will not be able to issue any Securities under the Plan. Any issue of Securities in excess of this threshold will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Securities.
In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13) the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 3:
| Terms of the Plan | A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Appendix 1. |
|---|---|
| Number of Securities previously issued under the Plan |
The Company has not previously issued Securities under the Plan – the Company is seeking approval for adoption of the Plan by Shareholders on 25 July 2025. |
| Maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan |
The maximum number of Securities that may be issued under the Plan in reliance on to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), following Shareholder approval, is 325,000,000 Securities assuming Shareholders approve the limit to 120,000,000 Securities on 25 July 2025. In the event that Shareholder approval is not received for the increase to the threshold to 120,000,000 Securities on 25 July 2025, the threshold, following Shareholder approval at this Meeting, will be 205,000,000 Securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately and this maximum number may never be issued at all. This number has been set to provide flexibility for the Company to reward employees, contractors and other persons who provide services to the Company with participation under the Plan. |

On 30 June 2025, the Company entered into a consultancy agreement with Mr Zinsser pursuant to which Mr Zinsser agreed to provide technical advisory services to the Company to support the exploration and development of the Horse Heaven Antimony-Gold-Silver Tungsten project located in Idaho, USA ( Consultancy Agreement ). The Consultancy Agreement can be terminated by either party with 14 days written notice.
Mr Zinsser will receive cash fees for his services, payable at standard industry rates. In addition, the Company agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue Mr Zinsser an aggregate of 2,000,000 Options and 1,000,000 Performance Rights ( Consideration Securities ), which will be issued on the terms and conditions set out below.
| Quantum | Exercise Price |

31 December 2026 |
The Consultancy Agreement is otherwise on standard terms and conditions for an agreement of its nature.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Consideration Securities in part consideration for the services provided by Mr Zinsser.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in the Explanatory Notes to Resolution 3 above.
The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 17) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities which is conditional upon prior Shareholder approval being obtained. If an entity relies on this exception, it must not issue the securities without such approval. The issue therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue. The Company may be required to renegotiate the remuneration payable to Mr Zinsser which may require the Company to make an additional cash payment.
In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3 the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 4:
| Party/ Allottees | Mr Zinsser (or his nominee/s). |
|---|---|
| Number of Securities to be issued |
2,000,000 Options and 1,000,000 Performance Rights. |
| Material Terms of Securities |
The Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Appendix 3. The Performance Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Appendix 4. |
| Date of issue | The Company expects to issue the Securities within 5 Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not issue any Securities later than three months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). |

The Securities will be issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for services provided by Mr Zinsser. The purpose of the issue is to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Consultancy Agreement. |
| Material terms of agreement |
The material terms of the Consultancy Agreement are summarised above. |

Resolution 5 – Approval to issue Shares to Dominari in consideration for advisory services

On or around 29 July 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with Dominari Securities LLC ( Dominari ) pursuant to which Dominari agreed to provide advisory services to prepare the Company for a proposed listing on NASDAQ or NYSE ( Advisory Mandate ). The material terms of the Advisory Mandate are set out below.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in the Explanatory Notes to Resolution 3 above.
The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. Under Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 17), if the issue of securities is subject to prior shareholder approval, it does not count toward the 15% placement limit set by Listing Rule 7.1. The proposed issue therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and may be required to renegotiate the terms of the Advisory Mandate, which may require the Company to make an additional cash payment.

| Maximum number of Convertible Securities |
The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which involves monetary consideration if the number of Shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered under an invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of all invitations under the Plan during the 3 year period ending on the day of the invitation, will exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of the invitation (unless the Constitution specifies a different percentage and subject to any limits approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) – refer to Resolution 3. The maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), following Shareholder approval, is 120,000,000 Securities (assuming that Shareholders approve the maximum to 120,000,000 Securities on 25 July 2025). If Resolution 3 is approved, this maximum number will increase to 325,000,000 Securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately. |
| Plan administration | The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion (except to the extent that it prevents the Participant relying on the deferred tax concessions under Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax Assessment Act 1997_(Cth)). The Board may delegate its powers and discretion. |
| Eligibility, invitation and application |
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for any (or any combination of) the Securities provided under the Plan on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation. |
| Grant of Securities | The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number and type of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required. |
| Rights attaching to Convertible Securities |
AConvertible Securityrepresents a right to acquire one or more Plan Shares in accordance with the Plan (for example, an Option or a Performance Right). Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, the holder: (a) does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security other than as expressly set out in the Plan; (b) is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a meeting of the shareholders of the Company; (c) is not entitled to receive any dividends declared by the Company; and (d) is not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares (see Adjustment of Convertible Securities section below). |
| Restrictions on dealing with Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities issued under the Plan cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, have a security interest granted over or otherwise dealt with unless in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan (including in the case of death or total or permanent disability of the holder) with the consent of the Board in which case the Convertible Securities may be exercisable on terms determined by the Board. A holder must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. |
| Vesting of Convertible Securities |
Any vesting conditions applicable to the Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that security will lapse. |
| Forfeiture of Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities will be forfeited in the following circumstances: |
| (a) where a Participant acts fraudulently, dishonestly, negligently, in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully breaches their duties to the Group and the Board exercises its discretion to deem some or all of the Convertible Securities held by a Participant to have been forfeited; (b) where the holder ceases to be an eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer employed or their office or engagement is discontinued with the Company and any Associated Bodies Corporate (as defined in the Corporations Act) (theGroup) and the Board exercises its discretion to determine that any unvested Convertible Securities will lapse. (c) where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in accordance with the Plan; (d) on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or (e) on the Expiry Date, subject to the discretion of the Board. |
|
|---|---|
| Leaver | Where the holder ceases to be an eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer employed or their office or engagement is discontinued with the Group) before a Vesting Condition has been satisfied (other than where the Participant acts fraudulently, dishonestly, negligently, in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully breaches their duties to the Group), subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, all or such other number of the Participant’s unvested Convertible Securities (based on the extent to which the Vesting Condition has been satisfied) continue “on-foot” and will be tested upon satisfaction of the Vesting Condition, vesting only to the extent that the Vesting Condition has been satisfied. Alternatively, the Board can modify the Vesting Conditions or determine that unvested Convertible Securities lapse |
| Listing of Convertible Securities |
Convertible Securities granted under the Plan will not be quoted on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. The Board reserves the right in its absolute discretion to apply for quotation of Convertible Securities granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. |
| Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise |
To exercise a security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise (Exercise Notice) and, subject to a cashless exercise (see next paragraph below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Securities (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice. In the case of Options, subject to the Board’s approval, in lieu of paying the aggregate exercise price specified in the Exercise Notice, the Participant may elect a cashless exercise (Cashless Exercise) whereby the Board will issue to the Participant that number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) calculated in accordance with the following formula: S = O * (MVS - EP) MVS Where: S = number of Shares to be issued on the exercise of the Options. O = number of Options being exercised. MVS = market value of shares, being the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the five trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise. EP = Exercise Price of the Options. For the avoidance of doubt, if the sum of the above calculation is zero or negative, then the holder will not be entitled to use Cashless Exercise. Convertible Securities may not be exercised unless and until that security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules. |
| Timing of issue of Shares and quotation of Shares on exercise |
Within five business days after the issue of a valid notice of exercise by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant. |
| Restriction periods and restrictions on transfer of Shares on exercise |
If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction. Additionally, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the following restrictions: (a) if the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act; (b) all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to restrictions imposed by applicable law on dealing in Shares by persons who possess material information likely to affect the value of the Shares and which is not generally available; and (c) all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the terms of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy. |
| Rights attaching to Shares on exercise |
All Shares issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities will rank equally in all respects with the then Shares of the Company. |
| Change of control | If a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any person (either alone or together with associates) owningmore than50% ofthe Company’sissued capital), unvested Convertible Securitieswill vest |
| unless the Board determines in its discretion otherwise. The Board’s discretion in determining the treatment of any unvested Convertible Securities on a change of control event is limited to vesting or varying any vesting conditions in respect to the Convertible Securities and does not include a discretion to lapse or forfeit unvested Convertible Securities for less than fair value. |
|
|---|---|
| Participation in entitlements and bonus issues |
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs, Participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues. |
| Adjustment for bonus issue |
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the Participant is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised. |
| Reorganisation | If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. |
| Amendment of Plan | Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect. No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants. |
| Plan duration | The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants. If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant. |
| Income Tax Assessment Act |
The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax Assessment Act 1997_(Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act) except to the extent an invitation provides otherwise. |
| Withholding | Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, and without limiting the amounts which may be deducted or withheld under applicable laws, if a member of the Group, a trustee or the Plan administrator is obliged, or reasonably believes that it may have an obligation to account for any tax, or any superannuation amounts (or equivalent social security contributions, if applicable) in respect of a Participant (Withholding Amount), then that Group company, trustee or Plan administrator (as applicable) is entitled to withhold or be reimbursed by the Participant for the Withholding Amount payable or paid. |
