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 REPORT
In accordance with the Corporations Act, 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 2024 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.sabreresources.com.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – 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 A DIRECTOR – MR BASIL CONTI
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. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled not to be subject to re-election.
The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.
Mr Basil Conti, who has served as a director since 29 June 2018 and was last reelected on 27 January 2022, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships
Mr Conti is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia & NZ and was a partner/director of a Chartered Accounting firm in West Perth until 2015. Mr Conti is experienced in management accounting, taxation, secretarial practice, corporate and financial planning, consulting to small and large businesses and has been associated with the mining industry in a professional capacity for some 25 years. Mr Conti is also a director of Metals Australia Ltd.
3.3 Independence
If re-elected the Board considers that Mr Conti will be an independent director.
3.4 Board recommendation
The Board has reviewed Mr Conti's performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Conti's skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board's ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the reelection of Mr Conti and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE
4.1 General
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
However, under Listing Rule 7.1A an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% (7.1A Mandate).
An eligible entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a maximum market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
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 $5,501,467 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 18 October 2024).
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3 is 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 under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 3:
(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid
The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
- (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
- (ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; and
- (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
(b) Minimum Price
Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities and issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in that class, calculated over the 15 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 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 Section 5.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate
The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for the acquisition of additional natural resource exploration projects (including expenses associated with such an acquisition) and advancement of the Company's Sherlock Bay, Nepean South and Cave Hill gold, nickel and lithium projects, and its Ninghan gold project, which are all located in Western Australia, as well as its Ngalia uranium-vanadium project in the Northern Territory. This will include ongoing exploration and pre-production costs, for exploration expenditure on any future assets acquired by the Company, and for general working capital.
(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate 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 7.1A Mandate, 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 Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 18 October 2024.
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 7.1A Mandate.
| Dilution | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Shares on Issue(Variable A in Listing Rule7.1A.2) | Issue Price | ||||
| Sharesissued –10% votingdilution | $0.007 | $0.014 | $0.021 | ||
| 50%decrease | IssuePrice | 50%increase | |||
| Funds Raised | |||||
| Current | 392,961,933Shares | 39,296,193Shares | $275,073 | $550,147 | $825,220 |
| 50%increase | 589,442,899Shares | 58,944,289Shares | $412,610 | $825,220 | $1,237,830 |
| 100%increase | 785,923,866Shares | 78,592,386Shares | $550,147 | $1,100,293 | $1,650,440 |
*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 pro-rata 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:
- There are currently 392,961,933 Shares on issue.
-
- The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 18 October 2024, being $0.014.
-
- The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
-
- The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
- The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
- 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.
-
- This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
- 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%.
-
- The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, 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.
(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate 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 7.1A Mandate, 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, share purchase plan, placement 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).
(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 30 November 2023 (Previous Approval).
During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 November 2023, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.
4.3 Voting Exclusion
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.
5. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5
5.1 Overview
On 16 November 2023, the Company announced its intention to conduct a placement to a large professional investor to raise up to $700,000 (before costs) (Placement).
Pursuant to the Placement, the Company issued 17,073,170 Shares at an issue price of $0.041 per Share (Placement Shares) comprising:
- (a) 4,900,000 Placement Shares which were issued on 24 November 2023 pursuant to the Company's Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity; and
- (b) 12,173,170 Placement Shares which were issued on 18 January 2024 pursuant to the Company's Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Placement Shares.
The Company also issued, pursuant to the Company's Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity, 20,573,170 free attaching SBROB listed Options (Placement Options) on 18 January 2024 to the participant in the Placement (Placement Participant). The Placement Options were exercisable at $0.06 on or before 30 April 2024 (Placement Options) and expired on 30 April 2024.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Placement Options.
Lead Manager
On 15 November 2023, the Company entered into a mandate with Copeak Corporate Pty Ltd (ACN 632 277 144) (Peak) pursuant to which Peak was engaged to act as lead manager and corporate advisor to the Company for the Placement (Lead Manager Mandate).
Pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company agreed to:
(a) pay Peak a commission of up to $35,000 (being 5% of the total funds raised under the Placement) plus GST.
5.2 Use of Funds
The table below sets out the Company's intended use of funds raised under the Placement.
| Item | Amount $ |
|---|---|
| Exploration of the major tenement holdings near the Andoverlithium pegmatite discovery of Azure Minerals for lithium. | 200,000 |
| Exploration for lithium and gold on the Cave Hill Project, WesternAustralia | 100,000 |
| Uranium exploration, including geophysics and drilling of Ngaliauranium project, Northern Territory. | 200,000 |
| Follow up exploration | 50,000 |
| Lead manager fees | 35,000 |
| Working capital and corporate administration | 115,000 |

The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Notice. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.
6. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES
6.1 General
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification for the prior issue of the Placement Shares. Further information in respect of the Placement and the issue of the Placement Shares is set out in Section 5 above.
6.2 Listing Rules 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rules 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
6.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.
6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rules 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
6.5 Technical 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 Resolution 4:
- (i) the Placement Shares will be issued to the Placement Participant, being a professional and sophisticated investor who is a client of Peak that expressed an interest to participate in the Placement. In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that the Placement Participant is not a related party of the Company, a member of the Company's Key Management Personnel, a substantial holder of the Company, an adviser of the Company, or an associate of any of these parties.
- (ii) 17,073,170 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1;
- (iii) 4,900,000 Placement Shares were issued on 24 November 2023 and 12,173,170 Placement Shares were issued on 18 January 2024.
- (iv) the issue price was $0.041 per Placement Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares;
- (v) the Placement Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;
- (vi) the purpose of the issue of the Placement Shares was to raise $700,000, which funds will be applied toward the activities set out in Section 5;
- (vii) the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement; and
(viii) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 4 of the Notice.
7. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT OPTIONS
7.1 General
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification for the issue of the Placement Options, Further information in respect of the Placement and the proposed issue of the Placement Options is set out in Section 5 above.
The Company previously successfully applied for quotation of the SBROB Placement Options, the subject of this Resolution 5. The Placement Options expired on 30 April 2024.
7.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 is set out in Section 6.2 above.
The issue of the Placement Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Options.
7.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Options.
7.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 5 is passed, the Placement Options will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Options.
If Resolutions 5 is not passed, the Placement Options will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Options.
7.5 Technical 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 Resolution 5:
- (A) the Placement Options were issued to the Placement Participant, being a professional and sophisticated investor who is a client of Peak that expressed an interest to participate in the Placement. In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that the Placement Participant is not a related party of the Company, a member of the Company's Key Management Personnel, a substantial holder of the Company, an adviser of the Company or an associate of any of these parties.
- (i) 20,573,170 Placement Options were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1;
- (ii) The Placement Options were issued on 18 January 2024;
- (iii) the issue price of the Placement Options was nil as they were issued on the basis of being free attaching options to the Placement Shares issued;
- (iv) the Placement Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;
- (v) the Placement Options will not be issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover;
- (vi) the Placement Options were issued under an agreement with standard terms and conditions similar to other agreements of this nature; and

8. RESOLUTION 6 – REPLACEMENT OF CONSTITUTION
8.1 General
A Company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution via a special resolution of shareholders.
Resolution 6 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution (Proposed Constitution) which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by shares updated to ensure it reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.
This will incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules since the current Constitution was adopted on 30 November 2018.
The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend specific provisions.
The Proposed Constitution is largely consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. The proposed changes are administrative and minor in nature.
The Directors believe the amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders. A summary of the material proposed changes are set out below.
A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company's website www.sabresources.com and at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (+61 8 9481 7833). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
8.2 Summary of material changes
Nomination of Directors
ASX Listing Rule 14.3 requires a company to accept nominations for the election of directors up to 35 Business Days (in the case of a meeting that members have requested directors to call, 30 Business Days) before the date of a general meeting at which directors may be elected, unless the entity's Constitution provides otherwise. Presently the Constitution states that 30 Business Days are to be provided before the meeting. The Proposed Constitution removes this discrepancy by requiring the nomination of a director to be made at least 35 Business Days (in the case of a meeting that members have requested directors to call, 30 Business Days) before the meeting.
Employee Securities Incentive Plan
Under the new Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which came into effect on 1 October 2022, offers under an employee incentive plan that do not require a monetary payment (e.g. zero exercise price options or performance rights) can be issued without an issue cap. However, offers requiring a monetary payment (whether upon grant or upon exercise/vesting of the awards and issue of the underlying shares) must be accompanied by an 'ESS offer document' and must comply with an issue cap. The cap is set at 5% under the Corporations Act unless raised by a company's constitution. A company may include a higher issue cap in its constitution to allow for more than 5% of securities to be issued under the plan. The Proposed Constitution has set the issue cap at 25%.
Restricted Securities
ASX Listing Rules 15.12 requires that where an entity has restricted securities on issue, it's constitution is to provide for Listing Rules 15.12.1, 15.12.2, 15.12.3, 15.12.4 and 15.12.5. Presently the Constitution does not provide for Listing Rules 15.12.2 and 15.12.4 so these have been added to the Proposed Constitution.
9. RESOLUTION 7 – ADOPTION OF EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN
9.1 General
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled "Employee Securities Incentive Plan" (Plan or Incentive Plan).
The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees, contractors and other persons who provide services to the Company, and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of securities under the Plan will provide these parties with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
9.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2, 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.
Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity's ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity's notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.
If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years from the date of the Meeting. The issue of any securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of securities stated in Section 9.3(ii) below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company's capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of those securities.
9.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 7:
- (i) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 2;
- (ii) the Company has issued 18,700,000 securities under the previous employee incentive scheme, also titled the Employee Securities Incentive Plan, approved by shareholders on 27 January 2022;
- (iii) the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the Plan to include the new terms and conditions required by Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which replaced the previous relief provided by ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (Employee Incentive Scheme); and
- (iv) the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), is 98,000,000 securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.
