5.3 Lapsing of Options

Subject to the terms of the Offer made to a Participant and Rules 5.4 and 5.5, a Participant's (or if applicable a Participant's Nominated Party's) unexercised Option will lapse and all rights in respect of that Option will be lost:

(a) on the Expiry Date of the Option;

Thereafter, the Options shall lapse to the extent they have not been exercised; or
  • (b) to use its reasonable endeavours to procure that an offer is made to holders of Options on like terms (having regard to the nature and value of the Options) to the terms proposed under the Trigger Event in which case the Board shall determine an appropriate period during which the holder may elect to accept the offer and, if the holder has not so elected at the end of that period, the Options shall immediately become exercisable and if not exercised within 10 days, shall lapse.

6. HOW TO EXERCISE OPTIONS

6.1 Delivery to Company Secretary

Options granted to a Participant or a Participant's Nominated Party may only be exercised by delivery to the Company's secretary (at a time when the Options may be exercised) of:

  • (a) the certificate for the Options or, if the certificate for the Options has been lost, mutilated or destroyed, a declaration to that effect, accompanied by an indemnity in favour of the Company against any loss, costs or expenses which might be incurred by the Company as a consequence of its relying on the declaration that the certificate has been lost, mutilated or destroyed;
  • (b) a notice in the form of Schedule 1 addressed to the Company and signed by the Participant or Nominated Party (as applicable):
    • (i) stating that the Participant or Nominated Party (as applicable) exercises the Options and specifying the number of Options which are exercised; and
    • (ii) specifying the subregister of the Company in which the Shares referred to in Rule 6.2(a) are to be recorded; and
  • (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

10.1 General administration

  • (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

Neither participation in the Plan by the Company or an Associated Body Corporate or any Eligible Participants or Option holders or anything contained in these Rules shall in any way prejudice or affect the right of the Company or an Associated Body Corporate to dismiss any Eligible Participant or Option holder or to vary the terms of employment of any Eligible Participant or Option holder. 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;
  • (b) covenants that the relevant party will ratify and confirm any act or thing done pursuant to this power;
  • (c) releases each member of the Group and the attorney from any liability whatsoever arising from the exercise of the powers conferred by this Rule; and

To the extent that any covenant or other provision deemed by this Rule to be contained in the Plan is inconsistent with any other provision in the Plan, the deemed covenant or other provision shall prevail.

Adjustment Formula

$$ O^{1}=O-\ \frac{\mathrm{E}\big[P-\big(S+D\big)\big]}{N+1} $$

where:

O 1 = The new exercise price of the Option.

  • O = The old exercise price of the Option.
  • E = The number of Shares into which an Option is exercisable.
  • P = The VWAP per Share calculated over the 5 trading days before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.
  • S = The subscription price for one security under the renounceable rights or entitlements issue.
  • D = The dividend due but not yet paid on existing Shares (except those to be issued under the renounceable rights issue or entitlements issue).
  • N = Number of Shares with rights or entitlements required to be held to receive a right to one new security.

However, if O 1 under this formula is less than the minimum price specific in Rule 4.7, the new Exercise Price of the Option is to be equal to that minimum price.
