4.1

Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

General

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 in the 2023 Annual Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for specified executives and non-executive Directors.

In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the Managing Director (if any).

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2022 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2024 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

4.2

Additional information

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

Given the personal interests of all Directors in the outcome of this Resolution, the Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Matthew Banks

5.1

General

Listing Rule 14.5 provides that there must be an election of Directors at each annual general meeting.

Article 6.3(c) and (e) of the Constitution provides that one third of the Directors must retire at each annual general meeting and that if two or more Directors have held office for the same period of time without re-election, the Director(s) to retire is determined by lot.

Matthew Banks, Non-Executive Director, was last re-elected at the 2021 annual general meeting of the Company held on 26 November 2021. Accordingly, Matthew Banks being the director who has held office the longest without re-election has agreed to retire at this Meeting and, being eligible, seeks re-election pursuant to this Resolution 2.

If Resolution 2 is passed, Matthew Banks will be re-elected as a Director of the Company with effect from the conclusion of the Meeting.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, Matthew Banks will not be re-elected as a Director of the Company.

5.2

Matthew Banks

Mr Banks has over 15 years’ experience specialising in marketing and public relations and more recently in finance. During that time Mr Banks has developed strong relationships with a number of leading public and private companies as well as with high net worth individuals from across a number of industries. Since 2005 Mr Banks has been involved in raising capital for a number of listed exploration companies and currently Mr Banks is working full time with a leading finance business which places $400 million of funds per year.

Mr Banks does not currently hold any other material directorships, other than as disclosed in this Notice.

If elected, Mr Banks is considered by the Board (with Mr Banks abstaining) to be an independent Director. Mr Banks is not considered by the Board to hold any interest, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the entity as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual security holder or other party.

Mr Banks has acknowledged to the Company that he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Director.

5.3

Board recommendation

The Board (with Matthew Banks abstaining) supports the re-election of Matthew Banks.

Mr Banks brings to the Board extensive leadership, governance and risk management skills which enhances the Board’s capability.

6. Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

6.1

General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to provide the Company with the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 6.2(f) below). The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c) below).

If Resolution 3is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval in Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.

The Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of approximately $73,309,181, based on the closing price of Shares ($0.105) on 11 October 2023.

(b) What Equity Securities can be issued?

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities, being Shares.

(c) How many Equity Securities can be issued?

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that under the approved 10% Placement Facility, the Company may issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A = is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the Relevant Period:

Page 11

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the Relevant Period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • (B) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • (1) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

  • (2) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • (E) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the Relevant Period with approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and

  • (F) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the Relevant Period.

Note that ‘A’ has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

  • D = is 10%.

  • E = is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue, where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

(d) What is the interaction with Listing Rule 7.1?

The Company’s ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will be in addition to its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

(e) At what price can the Equity Securities be issued?

Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per Equity Security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

Page 12

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph 6.2(e)(i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued, ( Minimum Issue Price ).

( 10% Placement Period ).

(g)

What is the effect of Resolution 3?

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

6.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the 10% Placement Facility:

The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the purposes of raising funds for continued investment in the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), and/or for general working capital.

Page 13

(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

If this Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting power in the Company may be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of convertible Securities, only if the convertible Securities are converted into Shares).

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders based on the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for Variable 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Section 6.2(c) above) as at the date of this Notice ( Variable A ), with:

  • (i) two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

  • The number of Shares on issue (i.e. Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.

  • The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued Share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

(e) Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing Shareholders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new investors who are not related parties of or associates of a related party of the Company.

(f) Issues in the past 12 months

The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2022 annual general meeting.

In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Page 15

(g) Voting exclusion statement

At the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in any such issue.

However, in the event that between the date of this Notice and the date of the Meeting, the Company proposes to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A to one or more existing Shareholders, those Shareholders' votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.

6.4

Additional information

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

7. Resolution 4 – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares

7.1 General

On 14 August 2023, the Company announced a capital raising comprising, amongst other things, a placement to raise gross proceeds of $8,100,000 (before costs). The placement is comprised of the following two tranches:

  • (a) the issue of 57,581,494 Shares to unrelated parties at an issue price of $0.135 per Share ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ); and

  • (b) the issue of up to 2,418,518 Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominees) at an issue price of $0.135 per Share, the subject of Resolution 5 ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ),

(collectively, the Placement ).

The Company issued the Tranche 1 Placement Shares using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, as follows:

  • (a) 54,618,531 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 18 August 2023; and

  • (b) 2,962,963 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 20 September 2023.

Resolution 4 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

7.2

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

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.

Page 16

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, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces 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.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is passed, 57,581,494 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit 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 issue date.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, 57,581,494 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 57,581,494 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

7.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares:

  • (a) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued (or will be issued) to a range of professional and sophisticated investors, none of whom are a related party or a Material Investor of the Company. The participants in the Placement were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from new and existing contacts of the Company and clients of the Lead Manager.

  • (b) A total of 57,581,494 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were agreed to be issued within the Company’s 15% placement capacity permitted under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (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 (or will be issued) as follows:

  • (i) 54,618,531 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 18 August 2023; and

  • (ii) 2,962,963 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 20 September 2023.

Page 17

  • (e) The proceeds from the Placement have been or are intended to be used to fund further drilling to test high-grade zones and continue scoping studies at the Company’s Earaheedy Project, including:

  • (i) exploration drilling – discovery and expansion of near surface deposits;

  • (ii) exploration drilling – targeting high grade MVT’s at depth;

  • (iii) scoping study drilling – DMS/flotation/updated resource classification;

  • (iv) project evaluation – initial scoping studies (including consultants);

  • (v) corporate and technical administration; and

  • (vi) costs of the Placement and general working capital.

  • (f) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

7.4

Additional information

Resolution 4 is an ordinary Resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

8. Resolution 5 – Approval of issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares

8.1

General

The background to the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares is in Section 7.1 above.

Resolution 5(a), (b), (c) and (d) seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 and section 195(4) of the Corporations Act for the issue of up to 2,418,518 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominees).

The Directors have committed a total of $326,500 under the Placement. The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued in the following proportions:

Director Amount committed to the
Placement
Tranche 2 Placement
Shares
Shane Sikora $20,000 148,148
Peter Venn $54,000 400,000
Geoff Jones $50,000 370,370
Michael Smith $202,500 1,500,000

Page 18

8.2 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 any of the following persons without the approval of its Shareholders:

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • (e) a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).

The Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominees) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 5(a), (b), (c) and (d) will be to allow the Company to issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 5(a), (b), (c) and (d) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares, and will not receive the additional $326,500 committed by the Directors.

8.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares:

  • (a) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees).

  • (b) The Directors fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being Directors of the Company.

  • (c) A maximum of 2,418,518 Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees) in the manner set out in Section 8.1 above.

Page 19

  • (d) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.

  • (e) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting.

  • (f) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares are proposed to be issued at an issue price of $0.135 each, being the same price at which the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were agreed to be issued.

  • (g) A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Placement is in Section 7.3(e) above.

  • (h) The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares is not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Directors.

  • (i) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

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

8.4

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.

The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares because the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued on the same terms as the Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

8.5

Additional information

Matthew Banks recommends Shareholders vote in favour of each of the Resolutions which form part of Resolution 5.

Each of the Resolutions which form part of Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (excluding Matthew Banks) declines to make a recommendation in relation to each of the Resolutions which form part of Resolution 5 due to their personal interests in the outcome of the Resolution.

9. Resolution 6 – Approval of issue of Director Options

9.1 General

The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to 1,500,000 Options to Peter Venn (or his nominees) under the Plan ( Director Options ), on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2.

The Company is in an important stage of development with significant opportunities and challenges in both the near and long-term, and the proposed issue of the Director Options seeks to align the efforts of Mr Venn, the Company’s interim Managing Director, in seeking to achieve growth of the Share price and in the creation of Shareholder value. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising with Options is a prudent means of conserving the Company’s available cash reserves. The Board believes it is important to offer these Director Options to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of the Director Options to Mr Venn (or his nominees) under the Plan.

9.2

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 its Shareholders:

  • (a) a director of the entity (Listing Rule 10.14.1);

  • (b) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 (Listing Rule 10.14.2); and

  • (c) a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by Shareholders.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Options as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Options to Mr Venn (or his nominees) will not be included in the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 or the maximum permitted number of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b).

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 6 will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Options to Mr Venn (or his nominees).

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options to Mr Venn (or his nominees), and the Company will have to consider alternative commercial means to incentivise Mr Venn.

9.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Options:

  • (a) The Director Options will be issued under the Plan to Mr Venn (or his nominees).

Page 21

  • (b) Mr Venn falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1 by virtue of being a Director of the Company.

  • (c) A maximum of 1,500,000 Director Options will be issued to Mr Venn (or his nominees).

  • (d) As interim Managing Director, Mr Venn’s remuneration will be $1,500 per day (exclusive of GST) for the duration of the appointment as interim Managing Director. Mr Venn will also be eligible to participate in any of the Company’s future STI and LTI Schemes.

  • (e) No Equity Securities have previously been issued under the Plan to Mr Venn.

  • (f) The Director Options will be issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2.

  • (g) The Board considers that Options, rather than Shares, are an appropriate form of incentive because they reward Mr Venn for continued service to the Company. Additionally, the issue of Options instead of cash is a prudent means of rewarding and incentivising Mr Venn whilst conserving the Company's available cash reserves.

  • (h) The Company’s valuation of the Director Options is in Schedule 3.

  • (i) The Director Options will be issued to Mr Venn (or his nominees) as soon as practicable following the Meeting and in any event not later than three years after the Meeting.

  • (j) The Director Options will be issued for nil cash consideration and will be provided as an incentive component to Mr Venn’s remuneration package.

  • (k) A summary of the material terms of the Plan is in Schedule 4.

  • (l) No loan will be provided to Mr Venn in relation to the issue of the Director Options.

  • (m) Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

  • (n) Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after the resolution is approved and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

  • (o) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

9.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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.

Page 22

The proposed issue of the Director Options constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.

The Board (other than Mr Venn, who has a personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Options because the issue of the Director Options is considered by the Board as reasonable remuneration and therefore falls within the exception stipulated by section 211 of the Corporations Act.

9.5 Additional information

Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (other than Mr Venn, who has a personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

( Eligible Participant ): A person is eligible to participate in the Plan ( Eligible Participant ) if they have been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time and are an “ESS participant” (as that term is defined in Division 1A) in relation to the Company or an associated entity of the Company.

  5. ( 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, subject to compliance with applicable laws and the Listing Rules. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.

  6. ( 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 Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. An invitation issued under the Plan will comply with the disclosure obligations pursuant to Division 1A.

Page 29

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. A waiting period of at least 14 days will apply to acquisitions of Securities for monetary consideration as required by the provisions of Division 1A.

  1. ( Grant of Securities ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the successful applicant ( Participant ) the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

  2. ( Terms of Convertible Securities ): Each ‘Convertible Security’ represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

  1. ( Vesting of Convertible Securities ): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of 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 Convertible Security will lapse.

  2. ( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.

At the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, and subject to Board approval, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

  1. ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security 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.

Page 30

  1. ( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules: any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.

  1. ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.

  2. ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.

  3. ( Disposal restrictions on Securities ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares or Convertible Securities 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.

  4. ( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): 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 Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

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 holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment 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.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights

  1. ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.

  2. ( 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.

Page 31

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.

  1. ( 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.

  2. ( Employee Share Trust ): The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding securities for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of holders upon exercise of Options or Performance Rights.
