Page 5

6.2 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained, unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

The Related Party Participants are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. As the Participation involves the issue of Shares and Options to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors 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 Participation as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Shares and Options to the Related Party Participants (or their nominees) will not be included in the use of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

6.3

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 Participation:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares and Options to be issued to the Related Party Participants is 2,181,812 Shares and 240,000 Options in the following proportions:

  • (ii) up to 1,000,000 Shares and up to 110,000 Options to Mr Michael Smith (or his nominee); and

  • (iii) up to 181,812 Shares and up to 20,000 Options to Mr Shane Sikora (or his nominee);

  • (b) the Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (c) the issue price will be $0.055 per Share, being the same as all other Shares issued under the Placement;

  • (d) the Shares issued to the Related Party Participants will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;

  • (e) the Options will be exercisable at $0.15 each on or before 22 December 2019 and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2, being the same as all other Options issued under the Placement;

  • (f) the funds raised from the issue of the Shares to the Related Party Participants will be used for the same purposes as all other funds raised under the Placement as set out in Section 4.3(e);

  • (g) the Options will be issued to the Related Party Participants for nil cash consideration and as such, no funds will be raised from their issue; and

Page 6

  • (h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

6.4 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 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 Participation will result in the issue of Shares and Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Party Participants are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because, amongst other things, the Shares and Options will be issued to the Related Party Participants on the same terms as Shares and Options issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

7. Resolution 5 – Approval of issue of Incentive Options to Directors

7.1 General

The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to 15,000,000 unquoted Options ( Incentive Options ) to the Company’s Executive Directors, Mr Shane Sikora and Mr Brett Keillor (or their respective nominees) ( Related Parties ) as follows:

  • (a) up to 6,000,000 Incentive Options to Mr Shane Sikora (or his nominee); and

  • (b) up to 9,000,000 Incentive Options to Mr Brett Keillor (or his nominee).

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 seeks to align the efforts of the Related Parties 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 Incentive Options is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves. The Board believes it is important to offer these Incentive Options to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified executive Board members in a competitive market. The Incentive Options will vest subject to both a timeframe vesting condition and a share price vesting condition being achieved (subject to certain exceptions in which accelerated vesting may apply). This structure is intended to align the Executive Directors with generating shareholder value and also ensure their retention within the Company.

The Incentive Options are to be issued under the terms of the Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ), which are summarised in the Company's 2017 notice of annual general meeting, announced to ASX on 9 October 2017.

Note:

  1. Vesting of Incentive Options is subject to the continuous employment of the Related Party by the Company at all times during each respective timeframe.

  2.

  3. If the relevant VWAP milestone is not met prior to the Incentive Expiry Date, the Incentive Options will expire unvested at the Expiry Date.

  4. Refer to Schedule 3 for the terms and conditions of the Incentive Options.

The Resolutions which form part of Resolution 5 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of up to a total of 15,000,000 Incentive Options under the Plan to the Related Parties, or their respective nominees.

Each of the resolutions which forms part of Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (other than Messrs Sikora and Keillor, who have a personal interest in the outcome of their respective Resolutions) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each of the resolutions which forms part of Resolution 5 for the reasons set out above.

The Board (other than Mr Messrs Sikora and Keillor who each have a material personal interest in the resolutions that form Resolution 5), considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of the Incentive Options due to the exceptions in sections 210 and 211 of the Corporations Act as the agreement to grant the Incentive Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for each of Messrs Sikora and Keillor, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on arm's length terms.
