3 Background

3.1 Placement

On 5 May 2025, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from institutional and sophisticated investors for a two-tranche placement of 133,333,335 Shares at an issue price of $0.30 per Share to raise approximately $40 million (before costs) ( Placement ).

The first tranche of the Placement comprised 119,833,335 Shares ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ) to raise approximately $35.9 million (before costs) utilising part of the Company's placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A ( Tranche 1 Placement ).

Euroz Hartleys Limited and Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited acted as joint lead managers to the Placement ( Joint Lead Managers ).

The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on Tuesday, 13 May 2025.

Subject to Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to the Notice), the second tranche of the Placement ( Tranche 2 Placement ) will comprise:

P a g e | 8

  • (a) 13,000,000 Shares issued to Hawke's Point (RRL) L.P (and/or its nominee(s)); and

  • (b) 500,000 Shares issued to Venus Metals Corporation Limited (and/or its nominee(s)).

The Tranche 2 Placement will raise approximately $4.1 million (before costs).

Hawke's Point, a substantial holder in the Company, holds a Relevant Interest in 16.3% of the total Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice and committed to investing $3,900,000 (before costs) under the Tranche 2 Placement. Subject to Shareholder approval (which approval is being sought pursuant to Resolution 3), Hawke's Point will hold a Relevant Interest in approximately 17.7% of the Shares following completion of the Placement.

Resolutions 1 to 4 seek the Shareholders' ratification or approval (as applicable) of the issue or proposed issue of Shares pursuant to the Placement. Each Resolution concerns a different component of the Placement.

Refer to the Company's ASX announcement released on 5 May 2025 for further details of the Placement.

3.2 Indicative Use of Funds

The proceeds raised from the Placement are intended to be used for the following activities:

  • (a) early underground development at United North and Pollard declines;

  • (b) rehabilitation of the Youanmi Main portal and decline;

  • (c) advance ongoing infrastructure early works including camp construction and associated infrastructure;

  • (d) commencement of process plant detailed engineering; and

  • (e) additional dewatering (including extensions to existing evaporation ponds).

The proposed use of funds is indicative only and will be subject to modification on an ongoing basis depending on the results obtained from the Company's activities and other factors relevant to the Board's discretion as to use of funding.

4 Resolutions 1 and 2 – Ratification of Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

  • 4.1 General

As detailed in Section 3.1, the Company issued 119,833,335 Shares at an issue price of $0.30 per Share under the Tranche 1 Placement. The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on Tuesday, 13 May 2025, without Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

Refer to Section 3.1 for further details on the Placement.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes) of the issue of 59,833,335 Shares issued pursuant to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes) of the issue of the 60,000,000 Shares issued pursuant to the Company's capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Resolutions 1 and 2 are ordinary resolutions.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.

P a g e | 9

4.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period ( 15% Placement Capacity ).

In addition to its 15% Placement Capacity, the Company obtained Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2024 annual general meeting on 25 November 2024 to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the Company’s 2024 annual general meeting on 25 November 2024, without needing prior Shareholder approval ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that if the Company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of Equity Securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those Equity Securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, thereby reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 or 2 is passed, the relevant Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, respectively, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the relevant Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 or 2 is not passed, the relevant Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in the calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, respectively, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue of the relevant Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information in relation to Resolution 1 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to institutional and sophisticated investors identified by the Joint Lead Managers. Other than QGold Pty Ltd, who is a substantial Shareholder of the Company, no other investor under the Tranche 1 Placement was a related party, a member of the Company's key management personnel, a substantial Shareholder or an adviser of the Company or an associate of any of those persons.

  • (b) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares comprised the issue of:

  • (i) 59,833,335 Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, ratification of which is sought pursuant to Resolution 1; and

  • (ii) 60,000,000 Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A, ratification of which is sought pursuant to Resolution 2.

  • (c) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.

  • (d) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.30 per Share, raising a total of $35,950,000 (before costs).

  • (e) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on Tuesday, 13 May 2025.

  • (f) Funds raised from the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares are intended to be used as detailed in Section 3.2.

P a g e | 10

  • (g) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to placement letters. Under the placement letters, the investors agreed to be issued Tranche 1 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.30 per Share.

  • (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolutions 1 and 2.

4.4 Board recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.

5 Resolution 3 – Issue of Shares to Hawke's Point (RRL) L.P under the Tranche 2 Placement

5.1 General

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes) for the issue of up to 13,000,000 Shares to Hawke's Point (RRL) L.P (and/or its nominee(s)) under the Tranche 2 Placement ( Hawke's Point Placement Shares ). The Hawke's Point Placement Shares were offered at the same issue price as the Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement (being $0.30 per Share), to raise up to $3,900,000 (before costs).

Refer to Section 3.1 for further details of the Placement.

Hawke's Point falls within Listing Rule 10.11 as Hawke's Point is a substantial holder of 10% or more in the Company and has nominated a Director to the Board. Hawke's Point currently has a Relevant Interest in 16.3% of the total Shares on issue and has nominated Mr Nathan Stoitis as a Director of the Company.

The issue of the Hawke's Point Placement Shares to Hawke's Point does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 10.11 and is therefore conditional upon Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to Resolution 3).

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

5.2 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to:

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c); or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains shareholder approval.

The issue of the Hawke's Point Placement Shares to Hawke's Point falls within paragraph (c) above (being Listing Rule 10.11.3), as Hawke's Point is a substantial (10%+) holder in the Company and has nominated a Director to the Board. As Hawke's Point does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12, it requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

P a g e | 11

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to issue 13,000,000 Shares to Hawke's Point (and/or its nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Hawke's Point Placement Shares to Hawke's Point (and/or its nominee(s)), and the Company will not be able to raise funds from the issue of Hawke's Point Placement Shares to Hawke's Point and may seek to raise them from alternate investors.

The issue of the VMC Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore, it requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

P a g e | 13

7 Resolution 5 – Ratification of Performance Rights issued under Listing Rules 7.1

7.1 General

In connection with the appointment of new key management of the Company and the appointment of a new non-executive Director, the Board agreed to grant the following Performance Rights to Mr David Boyd (a non-executive director of the Company), Mr Greg Hoskins (the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary) and Mr Oliver Keane (the Company’s General Manager – Operations) ( February Performance Rights ):

Tranche
David Boyd
Greg Hoskins Oliver Keane
1 500,000 400,000 400,000
2 500,000 400,000 400,000
Total 1,000,000 800,000 800,000

The terms and conditions of the February Performance Rights are detailed in Schedule 2.

The Company issued the Performance Rights to Mr David Boyd in accordance with Listing Rule 10.12 Exception 12.

The February Performance Rights issued to Greg Hoskins and Oliver Keane were issued on 21 February 2025 and the February Performance Rights issued to David Boyd were issued on 27 February 2025 without Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company's 15% Placement Capacity.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes) of the issue of the February Performance Rights issued pursuant to the Company's 15% Placement Capacity.

Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

7.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

Refer to Section 4.2 for a summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4.

The issue of the February Performance Rights does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue date.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the February Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes).

If Resolution 5 is passed, the February Performance Rights will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the February Performance Rights.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the February Performance Rights will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the February Performance Rights.

P a g e | 14

  • (e) The February Performance Rights were issued for nil cash consideration.

7.4 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

The terms and conditions of the Director Performance Rights are detailed in Schedule 3.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Director Performance Rights to Mr Wilding (and/or his nominee(s)). Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 will not be required as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11 (exception 14 under Listing Rule 7.2). Accordingly, the issue of Director Performance Rights will not be included in the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Director Performance Rights to Mr Wilding (and/or his nominee(s)) and may consider alternative forms of remuneration to Mr Wilding.

Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

If the Chairperson is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairperson is to vote on Resolution 6, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairperson with an express authorisation for the Chairperson to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairperson's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the

P a g e | 16

remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

8.2

Section 208 of Corporations Act

In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

Mr Wilding, Director, is a related party of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act. The issue of Director Performance Rights to Mr Wilding (and/or his nominee(s)) constitutes the giving of a financial benefit for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

The Board (excluding Mr Wilding) has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the issue of the Director Performance Rights, as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. This is because the issue of the Performance Rights are considered to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.

8.3 Section 200B of the Corporations Act

The Corporations Act restricts the benefits which can be given to a person in connection with that person's or someone else's retirement from an office, or position of employment, in the Company or its related bodies corporate if the office or position is a managerial or executive office (as defined in the Corporations Act), or if the retiree held such a managerial or executive office at any time during the last three years.

In accordance with section 200B of the Corporations Act, to give a benefit in connection with a relevant person's retirement from an office, the Company must, subject to various exceptions, obtain the approval of Shareholders in the manner set out in section 200E of the Corporations Act.

The term “benefit” is open to a potentially wide interpretation and may include automatic, or accelerated, vesting of share-based payments for a person or the exercise of discretion to allow a person to maintain a benefit they would not otherwise be entitled to retain, on, or as a result of, retirement from their position of employment in a company.

The benefits for which approval is being sought under Resolution 6 includes benefits that may result from the Board exercising discretions under the terms of the Director Performance Rights or from the automatic vesting of the Director Performance Rights upon a change of control event occurring. In particular, when Mr Wilding is no longer employed or engaged by the Company, the Board will have the discretion to permit the Director Performance Rights:

  • (a) held by Mr Wilding (or his nominee(s)) to automatically vest or accelerate vesting (and become converted, or exercisable, into Shares ) ; or

  • (b) to continue to be held by Mr Wilding (or his nominee(s)) upon ceasing to be employed or engaged by the Company.

Another benefit for which approval is sought under Resolution 6 is the potential for Shares to be issued or transferred to Mr Wilding (or his nominee(s)) upon the vesting of the Director Performance Rights as a result of the Board exercising a discretion to vest the Director Performance Rights as a termination benefit or upon a change of control event occurring.

Therefore, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under section 200B of the Corporations Act in connection with the termination benefits associated with the potential vesting of the Director Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Mr Wilding (and/or his nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 6.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 6, it will be effective until the period ending three years after the date on which Resolution 6 is passed. This means that the approval will be effective:

  • (a) if any benefit is given or any discretion to give any benefit is exercised (including a Board discretion); and/or

  • (b) if Mr Wilding ceases to hold managerial or executive office,

P a g e | 17

during the period expiring three years from the date of the Meeting. If considered appropriate, the Board will seek a new approval from Shareholders at a subsequent Shareholder meeting following the end of this three-year period.

8.4 Specific information required by section 200E of the Corporations Act

The following information in relation to Resolution 6 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of section 200E of the Corporations Act:

  • (a) The amount or value of the benefit relating to the Director Performance Rights which may arise in connection with Mr Wilding's retirement from a managerial or executive office cannot presently be ascertained. However, the manner in which the amount or value of the potential benefits will be calculated, and the matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to affect the calculation of that amount or value include:

  • (i) the number of Director Performance Rights held prior to ceasing employment or engagement with the Company;

  • (ii) the outstanding conditions (if any) of vesting and exercise of the Director Performance Rights and the number that the Board determines to (or which automatically) vest, lapse, forfeit or leave on foot;

  • (iii) the applicable performance measures and the achievement of such measures (and the personal performance of Mr Wilding);

  • (iv) the portion of the relevant performance periods for the Director Performance Rights that have expired at the time Mr Wilding ceases employment or engagement with the Company;

  • (v) the circumstances of, or reasons for, Mr Wilding ceasing employment or engagement with the Company;

  • (vi) the length of service with the Company and performance over that period of time;

  • (vii) any other factors that the Board determines to be relevant when exercising its discretion to provide potential termination benefits to Mr Wilding;

  • (viii) the manner in which the Board exercises its discretions;

  • (ix) the market price of the Company's Shares on ASX at the relevant time when the amount or value of the Director Performance Rights is determined;

  • (x) any changes in law; and

  • (xi) the risk free rate of return in Australia and the estimated volatility of the Company's Shares on ASX at the relevant time.

  • (b) The Company will likely calculate the value of the termination benefits that may be provided to Mr Wilding at the relevant time based on the above factors.

Shareholders are provided with the following information as to the value of the termination benefits based on the current Share price should all of the Director Performance Rights the subject of Resolution 6 be issued to Mr Wilding (or his nominee(s)) vest and be exercised:

Director Number of Shares issued
on exercise of Director
Performance Rights

Phillip Wilding 9,000,000 1.22% $2,700,000

Note 1: Based on $0.30 being the closing market sale price of Shares on 23 May 2025.

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is provided at Section 5.2.

8.5 Listing Rule 10.11

P a g e | 18

The issue of Director Performance Rights to Mr Wilding (and/or his nominees) falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Mr Wilding, a Director, is a related party to the Company, and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Resolution 6 therefore requires the Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.

8.6 Listing Rule 10.19

Listing Rule 10.19 provides that without approval of shareholders, an entity must ensure that no officer of the entity or any of its Child Entities will be, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the termination benefits that may become payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the entity as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules ( 5% Threshold ). For the purpose of the Listing Rules, termination benefits include payments, property and advantages that are receivable on termination of engagement with the Company. The 5% Threshold is currently $2,495,500 based on the Company's consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024.

Shareholder approval of the benefits that may be given to Mr Wilding by virtue of the vesting of the Director Performance Rights upon termination or cessation of Mr Wilding's employment is sought under Listing Rule 10.19.

Depending upon the value of the termination benefits associated with the Director Performance Rights, based on factors in Section 8.4 including the circumstances of, or reasons for, Mr Wilding ceasing employment or engagement with the Company and the Board exercising its discretion to allow the Director Performance Rights to vest and/or amend the vesting conditions upon Mr Wilding's termination or cessation of employment with the Company and the equity interests of the Company at the time such benefits may crystallise, the value of the termination benefits the subject of Resolution 6 may exceed the 5% Threshold. Shareholder approval is being sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.19 in order to give the Company flexibility, in case the value of the termination benefits (whether alone or in aggregate with other termination benefits) exceeds the 5% Threshold.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to provide termination benefits associated with the Director Performance Rights to Mr Wilding (and/or his nominee(s)) which may exceed the 5% Threshold to Mr Wilding in connection with him ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in the Company.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to provide termination benefits associated with the termination of the Director Performance Rights to Mr Wilding (and/or his nominee(s)) where those termination benefits along with termination benefits payable to all officers together exceed the 5% Threshold.

8.7 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

The following information must be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval:

  • (a) The Director Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Wilding (and/or his nominees).

  • (b) Mr Wilding falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 – Mr Wilding is a related party of the Company as he is a Director of the Company.

  • (c) The maximum number of Director Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Wilding (and/or his nominee(s)) is 9,000,000 Performance Rights.

  • (d) A summary of the material terms of the Director Performance Rights is detailed in Schedule 3.

  • (e) The Director Performance Rights will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.

  • (f) No funds will be raised from the issue of the Director Performance Rights as they are being issued for nil consideration.

  • (g) The Company is issuing the Director Performance Rights as a cost-effective way to remunerate Mr Wilding, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash

P a g e | 19

reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Mr Wilding.

(h) The current total remuneration package of Mr Wilding is detailed below:

Name Cash Salary and
Fees ($)
Superannuation ($) Total ($)
Mr Phillip Wilding 370,000 30,000 400,000
  • (i) The Director Performance Rights were not issued under an agreement.

  • (j) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 6.

8.8 Board Recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Wilding) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

Mr Wilding, however, is excluded from voting on Resolution 6 on the basis that Mr Wilding has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 6 as Mr Wilding (and/or his nominee(s)) are to be issued Director Performance Rights should Resolution 6 be passed.

9 Resolution 7 – Approval of Employee Incentive Plan

9.1 General

The Company is proposing to renew its Employee Incentive Plan ( Plan ). The Plan is similar to the existing employee incentive plan approved by Shareholders on 30 November 2022 with minor edits.

The Plan enables the Company to grant Shares, Options and Performance Rights to eligible Directors, employees, consultants and contractors of the Company (and/or their nominees) ( Eligible Participants ).

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), to refresh the Plan and to enable Shares, Options and Performance Rights and Shares upon exercise or conversion of those Options and Performance Rights (together, Employee Incentives ) to be issued under the Plan to Eligible Participants to be exempted from Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of three years from the date on which Resolution 7 is passed.

A summary of the Plan, to be approved pursuant to Resolution 7, is detailed in Schedule 4.

No Director will receive securities pursuant to Resolution 7. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek separate Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Employee Incentives under the Plan to a Director or any other related party or person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

The Plan is intended to assist the Company to attract and retain key staff, whether employees, consultants or contractors. The Board believes that grants made to Eligible Participants under the Plan will provide a powerful tool to underpin the Company's employment and engagement strategy, and that the Plan will:

  • (a) enable the Company to incentivise and retain existing key management personnel and other eligible participants and contractors needed to achieve the Company's business objectives;

  • (b) enable the Company to recruit, incentivise and retain additional key management personnel, and other eligible participants and contractors, needed to achieve the Company's business objectives;

  • (c) link the reward of key staff with the achievement of strategic goals and the long-term performance of the Company;

P a g e | 20

  • (d) align the financial interest of participants of the Plan with those of Shareholders; and

  • (e) provide incentives to participants under the Plan to focus on superior performance that creates Shareholder value.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities to Eligible Participants under the Plan without using up any of the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. However, the Company will be required to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of any Employee Incentives issued under the Plan to eligible Directors pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company may still issue Employee Incentives to Eligible Participants under the Plan but any issue will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity for 12 months following the issue. However, the Company will be required to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of any Employee Incentives issued under the Plan to eligible Directors pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolution 7 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairperson intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 7.

9.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is detailed in Section 4.2.

Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b) provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13 is that any issues of Employee Incentives under the Plan are treated as having been made with the approval of shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. Approval under Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b) lasts for a period of three years.

Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b)) is only available if and to the extent that the number of Equity Securities issued under the plan 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 plan from those set out in the notice of meeting.

9.3

Vesting Conditions

  • 10 The Board may at its sole discretion determine the Vesting Conditions which will apply to any Employee Incentives. The Vesting Conditions will specify the criteria that the Eligible Participant is required to meet in the specified Performance Period (if any) in order to exercise Options or for Performance Rights to vest to become entitled to receive Shares under the Plan.

P a g e | 9

  • 12 The Board will determine in its sole discretion whether (and, where applicable, to what extent) the Participant has satisfied the Vesting Conditions applicable to the relevant Performance Period.

  • 13 Where Employee Incentives have not satisfied the Vesting Conditions within the Performance Period, those Employee Incentives will automatically lapse.

Cash Settlement

  • 14 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Board may (in its absolute discretion) make one or more Offers of Options or Performance Rights on terms and conditions which provide that the Board has the absolute discretion to determine whether, upon exercise of any such Options or conversion of any such Performance Rights, instead of Shares being issued to be held by or on behalf of the Eligible Participant, a cash payment will instead be made to the Eligible Participant (or its Nominee, where applicable), with the methodology for determining the amount of that payment being specified in the terms and conditions of those Options or Performance Rights, as determined by the Board.

  • 15 The terms of Options or Performance Rights the subject of an Offer described under item 14 above may also (in the Board's absolute discretion) provide for the Company to deduct from the cash payment referred to in that item an amount on account of one or more of the following:

  • (b) any superannuation or pension amount the Company is required to pay in connection with such cash payment; and

  • (c) any Exercise Price (to the extent not already paid) relating to any relevant Options being exercised (if any).

Cashless Exercise

  • 16 The terms of any Options may provide that a Participant may elect to pay the exercise price for each Option by setting off the total exercise price against the number of Shares which they are entitled to receive upon exercise ( Cashless Exercise Facility ). By using the Cashless Exercise Facility, the Participant will receive Shares to the value of the surplus after the exercise price has been set off.

Lapsing of Employee Incentives

  • 17 Subject to the "Agreed Leaver" provisions below or the Board deciding otherwise, a Participant's Employee Incentives shall automatically lapse and be cancelled for no consideration on the earliest to occur of the following:

  • (a) where the Participant is a Non-Agreed Leaver, upon the occurrence of a lapsing event in accordance with item 20 below;

  • (b) where item 21 below applies;

  • (c) if the applicable vesting conditions are not achieved by the end of the relevant performance period;

  • (d) if the Board determines in its reasonable opinion that the applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met prior to the expiry date of the Employee Incentive or the end of the relevant performance period (as applicable);

  • (e) the expiry date of the Employee Incentive;

  • (f) the receipt by the Company of notice from the Participant that the Participant has elected to surrender the Employee Incentives; or

P a g e | 10

(g) any other circumstances specified in any Offer letter pursuant to which the Employee Incentives were issued.

Agreed Leaver

  • 18 Subject to item 19 below, where a Participant who holds Employee Incentives becomes an Agreed Leaver:

  • (a) all vested and (subject to item 18(b) below) unvested Employee Incentives which have not been exercised in accordance with the Plan rules will continue in force, unless the Board determines otherwise in its sole and absolute discretion; and

  • (b) the Board may at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, do one or more of the following:

  • (i) permit unvested Employee Incentives held by the Agreed Leaver to vest;

  • (ii) amend the Vesting Conditions or reduce the relevant exercise period of unvested Employee Incentives; or

  • (iii) determine that the unvested Employee Incentives will lapse.

  • 19 Where a person is an Agreed Leaver due to a Special Circumstance, the Participant's nominated beneficiary shall be entitled to benefit from any exercise of the above discretionary powers by the Board.

Non-Agreed Leaver

  • 20 Where a Participant who holds Employee Incentives becomes a Non-Agreed Leaver:

  • (a) unless the Board determines otherwise, in its sole and absolute discretion, all unvested Employee Incentives will immediately lapse; and

  • (b) unless the Board determines otherwise, in its sole and absolute discretion, all vested Employee Incentives will lapse 30 days after the Participant who holds Employee Incentives becomes a Non-Agreed Leaver (if they have not already lapsed by the end of that period).

Forfeiture Events

  • 21 Where, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, a Participant or Former Participant (which for the avoidance of doubt may include an Agreed Leaver):

  • (a) acts fraudulently or dishonestly;

  • (b) willfully breaches his or her duties to the Company or any member of the Group; or

  • (c) has, by any act or omission, in the opinion of the Board (determined in its absolute discretion):

  • (i) brought the Company, the Group, its business or reputation into disrepute; or

  • (ii) is contrary to the interest of the Company or the Group;

  • (d) commits any material breach of the provisions of any employment contract or services contract entered into by the Participant with any member of the Group;

  • (e) commits any material breach of any of the policies of the Group or procedures or any applicable laws applicable to the Company or Group;

  • (f) is subject to allegations concerning, or has been accused of, charged with or convicted of, fraudulent or dishonest conduct in the performance of the Participant's (or Former Participant's) duties, which in the reasonable opinion of the Board affects the Participant's suitability for employment with any member of the Group, or brings the Participant or the relevant member of the Group into disrepute or is contrary to the interests of the Company or the Group;

  • (g) is subject to allegations concerning, or has been accused of, charged with or convicted of any criminal offence which involves, fraud or dishonesty or any other criminal offence which Board determines (in its absolute discretion) is of a serious nature;

P a g e | 11

  • (h) had committed any wrongful or negligent act or omission which has caused any member of the Group substantial liability;

  • (i) had become disqualified from managing corporations in accordance with Part 2D.6 of the Corporations Act or has committed any act that, pursuant to the Corporations Act, may result in the Participant being banned from managing a corporation;

  • (j) had committed serious or gross misconduct, wilful disobedience or any other conduct justifying termination of employment without notice; or

  • (k) had willfully or negligently failed to perform their duties under any employment contract or services contract entered into by the Participant with any member of the Group,

then the Board may (in its absolute discretion) deem that all Employee Incentives held by the Participant or former Participant will automatically be forfeited.

Discretion of the Board

  • 22 The Board may decide to allow a Participant to:

  • (a) retain and exercise any or all of their Options, whether or not the Vesting Conditions have been satisfied during the Performance Period, and whether or not the Options would otherwise have lapsed, provided that no Options will be capable of exercise later than the relevant expiry date for those Options; and

  • (b) retain any Performance Rights regardless of:

  • (i) the expiry of the Performance Period to which those Performance Rights relate; or

  • (ii) any failure by the Participant to satisfy in part or in full the Vesting Conditions specified by the Board in respect of those Performance Rights,

in which case, the Board may:

  • (iii) determine that any or all of those retained Performance Rights shall vest and the corresponding Shares shall be provided to the Participant; or

  • (iv) determine a new Performance Period or Vesting Conditions (as applicable) for those retained Performance Rights and notify the Participant of the determination as soon as practicable.

Change of control

  • 23 The terms of any Performance Rights or Options may provide that where a Change of Control Event has occurred or, in the opinion of the Board, there is a state of affairs that will or is likely to result in a Change of Control Event occurring:

  • (a) all granted Performance Rights which have not yet vested or lapsed shall automatically and immediately vest, regardless of whether any Vesting Conditions have been satisfied;

  • (b) all Options will automatically and immediately vest (to the extent they have not already vested) and shall be deemed to have been automatically exercised (utilising the Cashless Exercise Facility (if permitted by the terms and conditions of the Options), to the extent such Options have an Exercise Price), regardless of whether the Vesting Conditions have been satisfied, notwithstanding the Notice of Exercise not having been issued (except that there will be no automatic exercise of Options which have an Exercise Price which is greater than the amount which the Cashless Exercise Facility can be used for, as specified in the terms and conditions of the Options, but instead those Options will automatically lapse on the earliest to occur of the expiry date for those Options, when they would otherwise lapse in accordance with the Plan or 11:59pm (in Perth, Western Australia) on the second business day after the Change of Control Event occurs); or

  • (c) if the Board has procured an offer for all holders of Options on like terms (having regard to the nature and value of the Options) to the terms proposed under the Change of Control Event and the Board has specified (in its absolute discretion) a period during which the holders of Options may elect to

P a g e | 12

accept the offer and, if the Participant has not so elected at the end of that offer period, the Options, if not exercised within 10 days of the end of that offer period, shall expire.

  • 24 The terms and conditions of specific Options or Performance Rights may adopt varied terms arising from a Change of Control.

Employee Loan

  • 25 The Board may, as part of any Offer, in its absolute discretion, offer to a Participant a limited recourse, interest free loan to be made by the Company to the Participant for an amount equal to the issue price multiplied by the number of Shares offered to the Participant pursuant to the relevant Offer.

Restriction Period and Holding Lock

  • 26 Allocated Shares may be offered on terms that restrict the Participant from dealing with or transferring the relevant Allocated Share during a restriction period.

  • 27 In addition, the Board may at any time request that the Company's share registry impose a holding lock on any Employee Incentives issued pursuant to the Plan where the Board determines or reasonably believes (in its absolute discretion) that a Participant (or a Former Participant) has or may breach the Plan rules.

Transfer of Options or Performance Rights

  • 28 Options and Performance Rights terms may impose partial or complete restrictions on them being assigned, transferred or encumbered with a security interest in or over them.

Buy-Back

  • 29 Subject to any applicable laws and subject to the Board's sole and absolute discretion, Allocated Share(s) will be subject to the Company's right to buy-back and may, during a prescribed period, be bought-back by the Company where item 21 above applies.

Contravention of Plan rules

  • 30 The Board may at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, take any action it deems reasonably necessary in relation to any Employee Incentives if it determines or reasonably believes a Participant has breached the Plan or the terms of issue of any Employee Incentives, including but not limited to, signing transfer forms in relation to Employee Incentives, signing all documents and doing all acts necessary to effect a buy-back placing, a holding lock on Employee Incentives, accounting for the proceeds of the sale of forfeited Employee Incentives, refusing to transfer any Employee Incentives and/or refusing to issue any Shares.

Amendments

  • 31 The Board may at any time amend the Plan rules or the terms and conditions upon which any Employee Incentives have been issued.

  • 32 No amendment to the Plan rules or to Employee Incentives may be made if the amendment, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, materially reduces the rights of any Participant in respect of Employee Incentives granted to them prior to the date of the amendment, other than:

  • (a) an amendment introduced primarily:

  • (i) for the purposes of complying with or conforming to present or future applicable laws;

  • (ii) to correct any manifest error or mistake;

  • (iii) to allow the implementation of a trust arrangement in relation to the holding of Shares granted under the Plan; and/or

  • (iv) to take into consideration possible adverse taxation implications in respect of the Plan including changes to applicable taxation legislation or the interpretation of that legislation by

P a g e | 13

a court of competent jurisdiction or any rulings from taxation or duty authorities administering such legislation; or

  • (b) an amendment agreed to in writing by the Participant(s).
