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 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 2022 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.sprintex.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 – STEVEN APEDAILE

3.1 General

Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Steven Apedaile, who has served as a Director since 16 April 2021 and was last elected on 28 September 2020, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Apedaile has worked in the accounting profession for over 30 years, 25 years of which were spent in Hong Kong with the first 7 years with KPMG HK and then 18 years with Horwath HK. In his position as Senior Audit Partner, Mr Apedaile's experience included management advice, risk analysis, strategic planning, public listings, forensic accounting, M&A and general business advice. Mr Apedaile served on the Member Review Committee of Horwath International for 3 years performing quality control and risk assessments on a number of Asian based member firms. Mr Apedaile also served for two terms (2 years) on the Hong Kong Society of Accountants Audit Standards Review Committee.

3.3 Independence

If re-elected the Board considers Steven Apedaile will be an independent Director.

3.4 Board recommendation

The Board has reviewed Steven Apedaile's performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Steven Apedaile's skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board's ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Steven Apedaile and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 .

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS

4.1 General

The Company issued the following Shares at an issue price of $0.075 per Share and Options to acquire Shares (Placements):

Date Number ofShares Price perShare Consideration Number ofOptions
28/7/2022 2,000,000 $0.075 $150,000 1,000,000
23/6/2022 2,333,333 $0.075 $175,000 1,166,667
19/5/2022 2,666,667 $0.075 $200,000 1,333,333
13/4/2022 5,333,334 $0.075 $400,000 16,204,839

The Options have a 12 month term from the date of issue and are exercisable into 1 fully paid ordinary share in the Company upon the holder paying $0.10 per Share on or before expiry date of the option. Please see Schedule 1 for terms of the options.

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.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company's ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 9 being passed at this Meeting.

The issue of the Placement Shares and 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 Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares and Options.

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 and Options.

Resolutions 3 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares and Options.

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 3 are passed, the Placement Shares and Options will be excluded in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, 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 and Options.

If Resolutions 3 are not passed, the Placement Shares and Options will be included in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares and Options.

It is noted that the Company's ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 9 being passed at this Meeting.

4.3 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 3 :

  • (a) the Placement Shares and Options were issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Indian Ocean Corporate. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved Indian Ocean Corporate seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;
  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:
    • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company's Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and
    • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
  • (c) the Placement Shares were issued and 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;
  • (d) the purpose of the issue of the Placement Shares and Options was to raise funding, which has been applied towards implementing the Company's business objectives, and working capital; and
  • (e) the Placement Shares and Options were not issued under an agreement.

5. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

5.1 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 way of a 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' means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a 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 8 million (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 28 September 2022.

Resolution 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 7 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 7 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.

5.2 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 Resolution 7:

(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 Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity 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 entity 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 inventory build, compressor product development, working capital and general expenses.

(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 7 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 28 September 2022.

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.

100%increase 508,708,654Shares 50,870,865Shares $2,390,931 $1,576,997 $813,934

*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 254,354,327 Shares on issue comprising:
    1. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 28 September 2022 being $0.031.
    1. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
    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 Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
    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.
    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 Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
    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 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 did not obtain approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 21 December 2020. Accordingly, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the twelve months preceding the date of the Meeting.

5.3 Voting Exclusion Statement

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.

6. RESOLUTION 8 - APPROVAL OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN

On 1 October 2022, amendments to the Corporations Act commenced which impact the regulatory regime for employee share schemes (ESS). Division 1A has been introduced into Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, providing a separate regime for the making of offers in connection with an ESS (New Regime). The New Regime will replace the current relief provided by ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (Class Order 14/1000), which commenced on 30 October 2014.

To ensure that the Company is able to rely on the relief provided by the New Regime, the Company proposes to adopt a new ESS to address the requirements of the New Regime.

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the new ESS titled the "Employee Incentive Plan" (Employee Incentive Plan) in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). A summary of the key terms of the Employee Incentive Plan are set out in Annexure 2.

The objective of the Employee Incentive Plan is to attract, motivate and retain ESS participants, including key employees and directors of the Company. The Company considers that the adoption of the Employee Incentive Plan and the future issue of Equity Securities under the Employee Incentive Plan will provide ESS participants with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

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.

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 an 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.

Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to issue up to a maximum of 5% Equity Securities for consideration under the Employee Incentive Plan pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity 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 Equity Securities under the Employee Incentive 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 8 is not passed, any issues of employee incentive securities will be made either with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (and 7.1A if applicable) or, in reliance on the Company's placement capacity under either or both Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A as applicable. In the latter case, any issues of Equity 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 the Equity Securities.

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 8:

  • (a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Employee Incentive Plan is set out in Annexure 2.
  • (b) the Company does not have a current employee securities incentive plan.
  • (c) as at the date of this Notice, no Equity Securities have been issued under the Employee Incentive Plan.
  • (d) the maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the Employee Incentive Plan pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b) must not at any time exceed in aggregate 5% of the total Shares on issue at the date of any proposed new issues of Securities under the Employee Incentive Plan. Based on the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice, being 254,354,327, 5% equates to a maximum of 12,717,716 Equity Securities, and as such this is the maximum number of securities that can be issued under the Employee Incentive Plan. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.
  • (e) A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 9 is provided in the Notice.

Director's Recommendation

The Directors recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

7. RESOLUTIONS 9 TO 11– ISSUE OF INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS

7.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval and to the adoption of the Performance Rights Plan (refer Resolution 8), to issue 12,500,000 Performance Rights to Jude Upton, Li Chen and Steven Apedaile (or their nominees) (Related Parties) pursuant to the Incentive Performance Rights Plan (Performance Rights Plan) and on the terms and conditions set out below (Incentive Performance Rights).

7.2 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 issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

As the Incentive Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

7.3 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 the holders of its ordinary securities:

  • 10.14.1 a director of the entity;
  • 10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or
  • 10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.

The issue of Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 9 to 11 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14.

7.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 9 to 11 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties under the Performance Rights Plan within three years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 9 to 11 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties under the Performance Rights Plan.

7.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 9 to 11:

  • (b) the maximum number of Incentive Performance Rights to be issued to the Related Parties (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 12,500,000 comprising:

    • (i) 5,000,000 Incentive Performance Rights to Jude Upton (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 9;
    • (ii) 5,000,000 Incentive Performance Rights to Li Chen (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 10; and
    • (iii) 2,500,000 Incentive Performance Rights to Steven Apedaile (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 11
  • (c) as this is the first time that the Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Performance Rights Plan, no Performance Rights have been previously issued under the Performance Rights Plan;

  • (d) a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Incentive Performance Rights is set out in Schedule 3;

  • (e) the Incentive Performance Rights are unquoted securities. The Company has chosen to issue Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties for the following reasons:

  • (i) the Incentive Performance Rights are unquoted; therefore, the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;

  • (ii) the milestones attaching to the Incentive Performance Rights will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders; and

  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Incentive Performance Rights on the terms proposed;

  • (f) the number of Incentive Performance Rights to be issued to each of the Related Parties has been determined based upon a consideration of:

    • (i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;
    • (ii) the remuneration of the Related Parties; and
    • (iii) incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service/retain the service of the Related Parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company's cash reserves.

The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Incentive Performance Rights upon the terms proposed;

(g) the total remuneration package for each of the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below:

  • (k) the purpose of the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their roles as Directors and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate the Related Parties, which 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 Related Parties;

  • (l) no loans are being made to the Related Parties in connection with the acquisition of the Incentive Performance Rights;

  • (m) details of any Performance Rights issued under the Performance Rights 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;

SCHEDULE 2 – SUMMARY OF KEY TERMS OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN

Long Term Incentive Plan

The Directors have adopted a long term incentive plan (LTIP), to enable eligible participants to be granted options and/or Performance Rights (Awards), the principal terms of which are summarised below:

  • (a) Offers made under the LTIP are made under Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act.
  • (b) (Eligibility) The Board may, in its absolute discretion, invite an "Eligible Participant" to participate in the LTIP. An "Eligible Participant" is a person who has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time and is an ESS Participant (as that term is defined in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act.
  • (c) (Purpose) The purpose of the Plan is to:
    • assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
    • align the interests of Eligible Participants more closely with the interests of Shareholders by providing an opportunity for Eligible Participant to receive an equity interest in the form of Awards; and
    • provide Eligible Participants with the opportunity to share in any future growth in value of the Company.
  • (d) (Maximum Number of Securities for offers involving consideration) At the time of making an Offer, where monetary consideration is payable by the Eligible Participant, and in respect of an Award where the exercise price on exercise of those Awards is greater than zero, the Company must reasonably believe that:
    • the total number of Shares which would be issued, if each outstanding Offer made or Award granted pursuant to the Plan or any other employee incentive scheme of the Company were to be accepted and exercised; and
    • the number of Shares issued during the previous 3 years pursuant to the Plan or any other employee incentive scheme of the Company,

but disregarding any Offer made, or Awards granted or Shares issued upon the exercise of an Award by way of or as a result of an Offer:

  • to a person situated at the time of receipt of the offer outside Australia;
  • that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act; or
  • made under a disclosure document in accordance with Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act,

will not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the time the Offer is made or such other limit as may be specified by Applicable Law or the Company's Constitution from time to time.

(b) The maximum number of equity securities to be issued is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of securities to be issued under the LTIP, simply a ceiling for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(a)).

  • (c) (Cooling off period) An Eligible Participant cannot acquire an Award under an Offer for monetary consideration until at least 14 days after receiving the Offer Document.
  • (d) (Nature of Awards) Each Option or Performance Right entitles the participant holding the option or Performance Right, to subscribe for, or be issued with one Share. Any Share acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Award will rank equally with all existing Shares from the date of acquisition.
  • (e) (Vesting) Awards may be subject to exercise conditions, performance hurdles or vesting conditions (Conditions). These Conditions must be specified in the Offer Document to Eligible Participants. In the event that a takeover bid for the Company is declared unconditional, there is a change of control in the Company, or if a merger by way of a scheme of arrangement has been approved by a court, then the Board may determine that:
    • (i) all or a percentage of unvested options will vest and become exercisable;
    • (ii) all or a percentage of Performance Rights will be automatically exercised; and
    • (iii) any Shares issued or transferred to a participant under the LTIP that have restrictions (on their disposal, the granting of any security interests in or over, or otherwise on dealing with), will be free from any restrictions on disposal.
  • (f) (Exercise Period) The period during which a vested Award may be exercised will commence when all Conditions have been satisfied, waived by the Board, or are deemed to have been satisfied under the rules of the LTIP and the Company has issued a Vesting Notification to the participant, and ends on the Expiry Date (as defined at paragraph (2(b)(iv) below).
  • (g) (Quotation of Plan Shares) The Company will apply for quotation of the Shares issued (or any unquoted Shares transferred) within the time required by the Listing Rules following the date of allotment. The Company will use reasonable endeavours to issue, where required to enable Shares issued on the exercise of an Option or vesting of a Performance Right to be freely tradeable on the ASX, a Cleansing Notice under section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act, if eligible, or a cleansing prospectus under section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act, at the time the Shares are issued. If a Cleansing Notice is required, but cannot be issued, the Company will use its best endeavours to impose an ASX Holding Lock on the Shares during the relevant restriction period to allow the Company to lodge a prospectus in relation to the Shares with ASIC which complies with the requirements of the Corporations Act and allows the Shares to be freely tradeable on the ASX.
    1. (Disposal restrictions) Awards granted under the LTIP may not be assigned, transferred, novated, encumbered with a security interest (such as a mortgage, charge, pledge, lien, encumbrance or other third party interest of any nature) over them, or otherwise disposed of by a participant, other than to a nominated party in accordance with the LTIP, unless the prior consent of the Board is obtained; or such assignment or transfer occurs by force of law upon the death of a participant to the participant's legal personal representative.
  • (a) (Cashless exercise) Participants may, at their election, elect to pay the exercise price for an option by setting off the exercise price against the number of Shares which they are entitled to receive upon exercise of the option (Cashless Exercise Facility). By using the Cashless Exercise Facility, the participant will receive Shares to the value of the surplus after the exercise price has been set off.

If a participant elects to use the Cashless Exercise Facility, the participant will only be issued that number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) as are equal to the value to the difference between the exercise price otherwise payable for the options and the then market value of the Shares at the time of exercise (determined as the volume weighted average price on the ASX over the five trading days prior to providing a notice of exercise).

  • (b) (Lapse) Unvested Awards will generally lapse on the earlier of:

    • the cessation of employment, engagement or office of a relevant person;
    • the day the Board makes a determination that all unvested Awards and vested options of the relevant person will lapse because, in the opinion of the Board a relevant person has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or is in material breach of his or her duties or obligations to the Company;
    • if any applicable Conditions are not achieved by the relevant time;
    • if the Board determines that any applicable Conditions have not been met and cannot be met prior to the date that is 5 years from the grant date of an Award or any other date determined by the Board and as specified in the Offer Document (Expiry Date); or
    • the Expiry Date.
  • (c) (Leaver Provisions) Where a participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company and is not a "Bad Leaver" (as that term is defined in the LTIP), and the Awards have vested, they will remain exercisable until the Awards lapse in accordance with the LTIP rules or if they have not vested, the Board will determine as soon as reasonably practicable after the date the participant ceases to be employed or engaged, how many (if any) of those participant's Awards will be deemed to have vested and exercisable. Where a participant becomes a "Bad Leaver" (as that term is defined in the LTIP), all Awards, unvested or vested, will lapse on the date of the cessation of employment, engagement or office of that participant.

  • (d) (Buy Back) Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and the Listing Rules, the Company may Buy-Back Awards for an amount agreed with the Participant at any time.

  • (e) (Change of control) If a change of control event occurs, the Board may in its discretion, determine the manner in which any or all of the holder's Options and Performance Rights will be dealt with, including without limitation, in a manner that allows the holder to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.

  • (f) (Adjustment): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), the Board may in accordance with the Listing Rules adjust the number of Options to which a Participant is entitled, and/or the Exercise Price of the Options; and adjust the number of Performance Rights to which a Participant is entitled.

  • (g) (Disposal restrictions) The Board may, in its discretion, determine prior to an Offer being made, whether there will be any restrictions on the disposal of, the granting (or purporting to grant) of any Security Interest in or over, or otherwise on dealing with (or purporting to dispose or deal with), Shares issued or transferred to any Participant under the LTIP Rules.

  • (h) (Amendment to Plan) Subject to the Listing Rules and the Constitution, the Board may at any time amend any provision 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. However, 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 materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purposes of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by Participants.

  • (i) (Plan Duration) The Plan continues in operation until the Board determines to end it. The Board may at any time terminate the Plan or suspend the operation of the Plan for such period or periods as it thinks fit. However, during the suspended period or following termination the Board will otherwise continue to administer the Plan in accordance with these Rules until all Awards have vested, exercised or lapsed.

  • (j) (Income Tax Assessment Act) The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act).

1. Terms of Performance Rights

(a) Milestones

The Performance Rights shall convert to Shares upon the Company achieving the applicable Milestone for that Class of Rights, prior to the applicable expiry date of that Class of Rights.

The Milestones and expiry dates for each Class of Rights is set out in section 2 below.

(b) Notification to holder

The Company shall notify the holder in writing when the Milestone has been satisfied.

(c) Conversion

Subject to paragraph (m), upon vesting, each Performance Right will, at the election of the holder, convert into one (1) Share.

(d) Share ranking

All Shares issued upon the vesting of Performance Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other Shares.

(e) Application to ASX

The Performance Rights will not be quoted on ASX. The Company must apply for the official quotation of a Share issued on conversion of a Performance Right on ASX within the time period required by the ASX Listing Rules.

(f) Transfer of Performance Rights

The Performance Rights are not transferable.

(g) Lapse of a Performance Right

If the Milestone attached to the relevant Performance Right has not been satisfied within the time period set out in paragraph (a), the relevant Performance Rights will automatically lapse.

(h) Participation in new issues

A Performance Right does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a Performance Right) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.

(i) Reorganisation of capital

If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation.

(j) Adjustment for bonus issue

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the number of Shares or other securities which must be issued on the conversion of a Performance Right will be increased by the number of Shares or other securities which the holder would have received if the holder had converted the Performance Right before the record date for the bonus issue.

(k) Dividend and Voting Rights

The Performance Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends.

(l) Change in Control

Subject to paragraph (m), upon:

  • (i) a takeover bid under Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act having been made in respect of the Company and:
    • (A) having received acceptances for not less than 50.1% of the Company's Shares on issue; and
    • (B) having been declared unconditional by the bidder.
  • (ii) a Court granting orders approving a compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme of arrangement for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies,

then, to the extent Performance Rights have not converted into Shares due to satisfaction of the Milestone, Performance Rights will accelerate vesting conditions and will automatically convert into Shares on a onefor-one basis.

(m) Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares

If the conversion of a Performance Right under paragraph (c) or (l) would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (General Prohibition) then the conversion of that Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:

  • (i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and
  • (ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (m)(i) within seven days if the Company considers

that the conversion of a Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.

(n) No rights to return of capital

A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

(o) Rights on winding up

A Performance Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.

(p) No other rights

A Performance Right gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.

2. Conversion of the Performance Rights

(a) Milestones

Subject to sub-paragraph the Performance Rights will vest and be convertible into one (1) Share on the achievement of $20,000,000 of annual revenue by 30 June 2024 (validated by audited/reviewed financial reports); and

(Referred to as the Milestone).

For the avoidance of doubt, all calculations for the purposes of satisfying the Milestones will be based on the relevant accounting standards and will exclude:

  • (i) one off or extraordinary revenue items;
  • (ii) revenue received in the form of government grants, allowances, rebates or other hand-outs; and
  • (iii) revenue or profit that has been manufactured to achieve the Milestone.

(b) Conversion of Performance Rights

  • (i) Subject to paragraph (b)(ii) below, in the event a Milestone is satisfied, the Performance Rights held by the holders will convert into an equal number of the Company Shares. If the holder provides the Company with:
  • (A) the certificate for the Performance Rights or, if the certificate for the Performance Rights 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; and

  • (B) a notice in the form provided in the incentive performance rights plan addressed to the Company and signed by the Participant stating that the Participant request to convert the Performance Rights and specifying the number of Performance Rights which are to be converted.
  • (ii) If the exercise of the Performance Rights into the Company Shares would result in the holder being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act, then the conversion of such number of Performance Rights that would cause the contravention will be deferred until such time or times thereafter the conversion would not result in such a breach.

(c) No Conversion if Milestone not Achieved

To the extent that:

  • (i) the Performance Rights have not converted into Shares on or before the date which is five (5) years from the Issue Date (Expiry Date), then all such unconverted Performance Rights will automatically consolidate into one Performance Right and will then convert into one Share; and
  • (ii) the Performance Rights have not converted into Shares on or before the Expiry Date, then all such unconverted Performance Rights will automatically consolidate into one Performance Right and will then convert into one Share.

(d) After Conversion

The Shares issued on conversion of the Performance Rights will, as and from 5:00pm (WST) on the date of issue, rank equally with and confer rights identical with all other Shares then on issue and application will be made by the Company to ASX for official quotation of the Shares issued upon conversion.

(e) Conversion Procedure

The Company will issue the holders with a new holding statement for the Shares as soon as practicable following the conversion of the Performance Rights into Shares.
