EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors' report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor's report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company's annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company's annual financial report is available on its website at www.s2resources.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company's annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company's remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors' report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (Spill Resolution) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company's annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company's previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – GREY EGERTON-WARBURTON

3.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director's appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer. Clause 3.6(a) of the Company Constitution also provides that a director must retire from office at the third AGM after the director was elected or last re-elected and clause 3.6(d) excludes managing directors from this requirement.

ASX Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election at each AGM. Clause 3.6(c) of the Company Constitution restates this requirement.

Grey Egerton-Warburton has served as a director since 29 April 2016 and was last re-elected on 7 October 2016. As this will be the third AGM since his appointment, he retires by rotation in accordance with the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and seeks re-election from Shareholders. The requirement to hold an election in accordance with the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.5 is satisfied by virtue of Grey Egerton-Warburton's re-election. No further determination as to which director must seek re-election is therefore required.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Egerton-Warburton is an experienced corporate financier, with a strong background in natural resources, having spent 16 years with Hartleys Limited, including many years as head of corporate finance. He has extensive experience in equity capital markets, acquisitions, divestments and domestic and international change of control transactions, having led a substantial number of capital raisings, takeovers and mergers for many ASX listed companies, across many sectors. While at Hartleys, Mr Egerton-Warburton worked closesly with Sirius Resources as its corporate advisor from mid 2012 until the completion of the merger between Sirius and Independence Group.

Mr Egerton-Warburton currently serves as Deputy Chair of the Women and Infants Research Foundation, the charitable arm of King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth, Western Australia.

3.3 Independence

If elected the board does consider Mr Egerton-Warburton will be an independent director.

3.4 Board recommendation

The Board supports the re-election of Mr Egerton-Warburton and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RENEWAL OF PROPORTIONAL TAKEOVER PROVISIONS IN THE CONSTITUTION

4.1 General

Section 648G(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a company's proportional takeover approval provisions, unless sooner omitted from its constitution, cease to apply at the end of 3 years from adoption or renewal as appropriate unless otherwise specified.

When the provisions cease to apply the company's constitution is modified by omitting the provisions.

A company may renew its proportional takeover approval provisions in the same manner in which a company can modify its constitution (i.e. by special resolution of shareholders)

The Company's constitution (including the proportional takeover provisions set out in clause 37) was adopted on 29 May 2015. Accordingly the proportional takeover provisions included in the Constitution apply until 29 May 2018 unless sooner omitted or renewed.

Resolution 37.4 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to modify its Constitution by renewing clause 37 for a period of 3 years from the date of Shareholder approval. It is noted that Shareholder approval will not result in a change to the wording of clause 37.

The Company is permitted to seek further Shareholder approval to renew this clause for further periods of up to 3 years on each occasion.

A copy of the Constitution was released to ASX on 15 October 2015 and is available for download from the Company's ASX announcements platform.

4.2 Proportional takeover provisions (clause 37 of Constitution)

(a) General

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder's shares.

The proportional takeover provisions set out in clause 37 of the Constitution provides that a proportional takeover bid for Shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of Shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.

This clause will cease to have effect at the end of three years from the date of the adoption of the last renewal of the clause.

(b) Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act

(i) Effect of proportional takeover provisions

Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional offmarket bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed or the deadline for obtaining such approval has passed.

(ii) Reasons for proportional takeover provisions

A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.

(iii) Knowledge of any acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

(iv) Advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions during the period in which they have been in effect

The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions had no advantages or disadvantages for them during the period in which they have been in effect.

The advantages and disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include those set out immediately below, which were applicable during the period in which they have been in effect.

(v) Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions

The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (A) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;
  • (B) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority;
  • (C) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and
  • (D) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing

the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.

The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (A) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;
  • (B) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and
  • (C) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.

(c) Recommendation of the Board

The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of renewing the proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that renewal of the proportional takeover provision set out in clause 37 of the Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

5.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal to 10% of its issued capital (10% Placement Capacity) without using that company's existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of 52.1 million (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on Monday 16 September 2019).

An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one (1) class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: S2R) .

If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 4 for it to be passed.

5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 4:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in section 5.2(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company's activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company's main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

(10% Placement Capacity Period).

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at Monday 16th September 2019.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

    1. There are currently 247,915,179 Shares on issue comprising:
    1. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on Monday 16th September 2019.
    1. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
    1. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
    1. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
    1. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
    1. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
    1. 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%.
    1. 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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the Company's forward exploration and development work programs or for the purposes of funding a strategic acquisition; or
  • (ii) as non-cash consideration for a strategic acquisition in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the noncash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;
  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and
  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 13 November 2018 (Previous Approval).

The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 11 November 2018, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities under either its ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A capacity.

(g) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX:

  • (i) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and
  • (ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

5.3 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 4.

6. RESOLUTIONS 5-8 – ISSUE OF RELATED PARTY OPTIONS

6.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 15,500,000 Options (Related Party Options) to Mark Bennett, Jeffrey Dowling, Anna Neuling and Grey Egerton-Warburton or (their nominees) (Related Parties) pursuant to the Director Share Option Plan (DSOP) and on the terms and conditions set out below.

The quantum of proposed options represents approximately 65% of that originally issued to the directors, which expired unexercised on 14 September 2019.

The Board has not increased its cash remuneration since listing in 2015. To ensure the Company retains its key people, S2 has determined that the best way to reward and incentivise its board, executives and employees is via the issue of options over ordinary shares which have an exercise price that requires the share price to increase by nearly 50% before the options crystallise any value to the recipient while conserving cash and ensuring S2 offers competitive market based remuneration. This results in the alignment of shareholder and board and employee interests in maximising S2's share price.

The Remuneration Committee is not planning on recommending the issue of Director Options each year but has adopted the approach of reviewing the Options that have expired in the year and assessing what level it would be appropriate to then replace them with.

6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The grant of the Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mark Bennett, Jeffrey Dowling, Anna Neuling and Grey Egerton-Warburton are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in section 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties.

6.3 Technical information required by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of sections 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of the Related Party Options:

    • (ii) 3,000,000 Related Party Options to Mr Dowling (Resolution 6);
    • (iii) 4,500,000 Related Party Options to Ms Neuling (Resolution 7); and
    • (iv) 2,000,000 Related Party Options to Mr Grey Egerton-Warburton (Resolution 8).
  • (c) the Related Party Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;
  • (d) the exercise price of the Related Party Options will be set at the higher of $0.30 or 143% of the 5 day VWAP as at the date of the AGM. As such,

the Company may receive cash consideration as a result of the issue of the Shares on an exercise of Related Party Options, being an amount equal to the exercise price multiplied by the number of the Related Party Options that are exercised. A table demonstrating potential receipt of funds by the Company upon exercise of the Related Party Options is set out below:

(n) the Board acknowledges the grant of Related Party Options to Mark Bennett, Jeffrey Dowling, Anna Neuling and Grey Egerton-Warburton is contrary to Recommendation 8 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2014 Amendments (3rd Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council, like many other similar sized exploration companies. However, the Board considers the grant of Related Party Options to Mark Bennett, Jeffrey Dowling, Anna Neuling and Grey Egerton-Warburton, reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in paragraph (o)the primary purpose of the grant of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their respective roles as Directors;

  • (o) Mark Bennett declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to the Resolution 4 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4 on the basis that he (or his nominee) is to be granted Related Party Options should the Resolution be passed. However, in respect of the Resolutions 5, 6 and 7, Mark Bennett recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:
    • (i) at the inception of the Company, 23,750,000 Options were issued to Directors of the Company at an exercise price 0f $0.31. These options have expired on 14 September 2019 and therefore it was felt appropriate to issue Directors with Options to partially replace the expired Options;
    • (ii) the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;
    • (iii) the grant of the Related Party Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Directors; and
    • (iv) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;
  • (p) Jeffrey Dowling declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to Jeffrey Dowling's material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (or his nominee) is to be granted Related Party Option in the Company should Resolution 5 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 4, 6 and 7, Jeffrey Dowling recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (o);
  • (q) Anna Neuling declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6 due to Anna Neuling's material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that she (or her nominee) is to be granted Related Party Option in the Company should Resolution 6 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 4, 5 and 7, Anna Neuling recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (o);
  • (r) Grey Egerton-Warburton declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 due to Grey Egerton-Warburton's material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he (or his nominee) is to be granted Related Party Option in the Company should Resolution 7 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 4, 5 and 6, Grey Egerton-Warburton recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the reasons set out in paragraph (o);
  • (s) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each other Director, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Options to be granted as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Related Party Options; and

(t) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 4 to 7.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.15. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company's annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

7. RESOLUTIONS 9-10 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO SERVICE PROVIDERS

  • (b) Subject to the provisions of the Terms, the Board may make such regulations and establish such procedures for the administration and management of the Terms as they consider appropriate.

  • (c) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Option Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Options which are being exercised unless there is no exercise price payable in respect of the Options to be exercised.

By exercising an Option, the Participant or Nominated Party (as applicable) agrees to become a member of the Company and to be bound by the Company's constitution.

6.2 Issue of Shares

If the items specified in Rule 6.1 are delivered in accordance with that Rule, the Company will, subject to the Listing Rules (if relevant):

  • (a) within 10 Business Days of delivery of the documents referred to in Rule 6.1 issue to the Participant or Nominated Party (as applicable) the Shares credited as being fully paid in respect of which the Options are exercised together with any additional Shares an entitlement to which has arisen under Rule 8 in consequence of the exercise of the Options; and
  • (b) cancel the certificate delivered pursuant to Rule 6.1(a) and, if any Options which have not lapsed remain unexercised, deliver to the Participant or Nominated Party (as applicable) a replacement certificate reflecting the number of those Options which remain unexercised.

6.3 Death of Participant or Mental Incapacity

If a Participant has died or the Participant's estate becomes liable to be dealt with under the laws relating to mental health, the Participant's legal personal representative will stand in the place of the Participant for the purposes of Rules 6.1 and 6.2 subject only to prior production to the Company of such evidence as would be required to permit the legal personal representative to become registered as a shareholder in respect of the Shares held by the Participant.

6.4 Beneficial Owner of Shares

From and including the date of issue to a Participant or a Participant's Nominated Party (as applicable) of any Shares in accordance with these Rules, the Participant or Nominated Party (as applicable) will:

  • (a) be the legal and beneficial owner of those Shares; and
  • (b) subject to the Corporations Act, the Constitution and the Listing Rules, be entitled to deal with those Shares as beneficial owner.

6.5 Equal Rank

A Share acquired on exercise of an Option will rank equally in all respects with Shares already on issue on the date of issue of the Share, except for entitlements which had a record date before the date of issue of that Share.

6.6 Official Quotation

Application will be made to ASX for official quotation of the Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of Options if the Company's Shares are listed on ASX at that time in accordance with the Listing Rules.

7. NEW ISSUES OF SHARES AND REORGANISATIONS

7.1 Participation generally

There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options.

7.2 Rights Issues and Bonus Issues

  • (a) If the Company makes a pro rata issue of securities (except a bonus issue) to the holders of Shares (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the Option Exercise Price shall be reduced according to Schedule 3.
  • (b) In the event of a bonus issue of Shares being made pro-rata to Shareholders, (other than an issue in lieu of dividends), the number of Shares to be issued on exercise of each Option will include the number of bonus Shares that would have been issued if the Option had been exercised prior to the record date for the bonus issue.

7.3 Reorganisation

If at any time the capital of the Company is reorganised, the terms of the Options will be changed in a manner required by the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reorganisation or, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, as determined by the Board.

7.4 Notice of Adjustments

Whenever the number of Shares comprised in an Option or the Option Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to these Rules, the Company will give notice of the adjustment to the Participant (and, if applicable, the Participant's Nominated Party) and ASX together with calculations on which the adjustment is based.

7.5 Cumulative Adjustments and rounding

  • (a) Effect will be given to Rule 7.4 in such manner that the effect of the successive applications of them is cumulative, with the intention being that the adjustments they progressively effect will reflect previous adjustments.
  • (b) Until an Option is to be exercised, all calculations adjusting the Number of Shares or the exercise price must be carried out to include all fractions, but on exercise the number of Shares is rounded down to the next lower whole number and the exercise price is rounded up to the next higher cent.

8. OVERRIDING RESTRICTIONS ON ISSUE AND EXERCISE

8.1 No contravention

Notwithstanding the Rules or the terms of any Option, no Option may be offered, granted or exercised and no Share may be issued under the Plan if to do so:

  • (a) would contravene the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other applicable law; or
  • (b) would contravene the local laws or customs of an Eligible Participant's country of residence or in the opinion of the Board would require actions to comply with those local laws or customs which are impractical or burdensome.

8.2 Consistency

  • (a) Nothing in this Plan prevents an act being done that applicable law or the Listing Rules require to be done.
  • (b) If applicable law or the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be).
  • (c) If applicable law or the Listing Rules require this Plan or the terms of the issue of the Options to contain a provision and they do not contain such a provision, this Plan or the terms of issue of the Options (as the case may be) are taken to contain that provision.
  • (d) If applicable law or the Listing Rules require this Plan or the terms of the issue of the Options not to contain a provision and they contain such a provision, this Plan or the terms of issue of the Options (as the case may be) are taken not to contain that provision.
  • (e) If any provision of this Plan or the terms of the issue of the Options are or become inconsistent with applicable law or the Listing Rules, this Plan or the terms of issue of the Options (as the case may be) are taken not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

9. AMENDMENT OF RULES

Subject to and in accordance with the Trading Rules, the Board (without the necessity of obtaining the prior or subsequent consent of Shareholders of the Company in a general meeting) may from time to time amend (including the power to revoke, add to or vary) all or any provisions of the Rules in any respect whatsoever, by an instrument in writing, provided that rights or entitlements in respect of any Option granted before the date of amendment shall not be materially reduced or materially adversely affected unless prior written approval from the affected holder(s) is obtained.

10. ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN

  • (a) The Board may appoint for the proper administration and management of the Plan, such persons as it considers desirable and may delegate thereto such authorities as may be necessary or desirable for the administration and management of the Plan.

11. RIGHTS OF ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS

Nor shall participation or the rights or benefits of an Eligible Participant or Option holder under the Rules be relevant to or used as grounds for granting or increasing damages in any action brought by an Eligible Participant or Option holder against the Company or an Associated Body Corporate whether in respect of any alleged wrongful dismissal or otherwise.

12. ATTORNEY

Each Participant and each Nominated Party (the relevant party), in consideration of an Offer:

  • (a) irrevocably appoints the Company and any person nominated from time to time by the Company (each an attorney), severally, as the relevant party's attorney to complete and execute any documents including applications for Shares and Share transfers and to do all acts or things on behalf of and in the name of the relevant party which may be convenient or necessary for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of these Rules;
