E X PL A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T
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 2025 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.stgm.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 to 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 Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – SARAH SHIPWAY
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.
Ms Sarah Shipway, who has held office without re-election since 21 November 2023 and being eligible retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
Further information in relation to Ms Shipway is set out below.
| Qualifications, experience and other material directorships |
Ms Shipway was appointed Non-Executive Director on 11 June 2015 and was appointed Company Secretary of the Company on 22 March 2012. Ms Shipway has over 15 years’ experience in the resources sector with a focus on corporate governance, statutory reporting and financial compliance for ASX-listed companies. She is a Chartered Accountant and holds a Bachelor of Commerce from Murdoch University. Ms Shipway is a Non-Executive Director and Company Secretary of St George Mining Limited (ASX: SGQ), and Company Secretary of Beacon Minerals Limited (ASX: BCN) and American West Metals Limited (ASX: AW1). She was previously Company Secretary of Cardinal Resources Limited (ASX/TSX: CDV) until its $394 million acquisition by Shandong Gold Mining Co. |
|---|---|
| Term of office | Ms Shipway has served as a Director since 11 June 2023 and was last re-elected on 21 November 2023. |
| Independence | If re-elected, the Board considers that Ms Shipway will be an independent Director. |
| Board recommendation |
Having received an acknowledgement from Ms Shipway that she will have sufficient time to fulfil her responsibilities as a Director and having reviewed the performance of Ms Shipway since her appointment to the Board and the skills, knowledge, experience and capabilities required by the Board, the Directors (other than Ms Shipway) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. |
3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, Ms Shipway will be re-elected to the Board as an independent non-executive Director.
If this Resolution is not passed, Ms Shipway will not continue in her role as an independent non-executive Director. The Company may seek nominations or otherwise identify suitably qualified candidates to join the Company. As an additional consequence, this may detract from the Board and Company’s ability to execute on its strategic vision.
4. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 3 TO 5 – PLACEMENT
4.1 Background to the Placement
The Company announced on 13 October 2025 that it had received firm commitments to raise an aggregate of $72,500,000 via a placement of Shares comprising:
- (a) a placement of 500,000,000 Shares to unrelated professional and sophisticated investors including major North American and European funds, local institutions and existing Shareholders ( Institutional Placement Participants ) at an issue price of $0.10 each to raise a total of $50,000,000 ( Institutional Placement ); and
7
- (b) a placement of 225,000,000 Shares to Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd (ACN 008 676 417) ( Hancock Prospecting ) at an issue price of $0.10 per Share to raise $22,500,000 pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (defined below) which is subject to Shareholder approval ( Hancock Placement ),
(together, the Placement ).
Funds raised under the Placement will be applied towards advancing the Company’s 100% owned, world-class rare earths-niobium Araxá Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil, towards a Final Investment Decision on a mine development, making the Deferred Payments to Itafos Inc and for general working capital.
4.2 Completion of Institutional Placement
The Institutional Placement was completed in a single tranche. The Company issued the Shares pursuant to the Institutional Placement on 17 October 2025 as follows:
-
(a) 207,526,683 Shares were issued utilising the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 3); and
-
(b) 292,473,317 Shares were issued utilising the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the subject of Resolution 4).
Jett Capital Advisors, LLC and Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (together, the Joint Lead Managers ) were engaged by the Company to act as joint lead managers and joint bookrunners to the Institutional Placement pursuant to a mandate letter dated 9 October 2025 ( Mandate ). In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Mandate, the Company has agreed to pay the Joint Lead Managers:
-
(a) a cash management fee equal to 2% of gross proceeds raised under the Institutional Placement; and
-
(b) a cash distribution fee equal to 4% of gross proceeds raised under the Institutional Placement, provided that
the Joint Lead Managers will only be paid 1% of gross proceeds raised under the Institutional Placement in respect of proceeds from those investors under the Chairman’s List. The fees payable to the Joint Lead Managers are to be split equally between the Joint Lead Managers.
4.3 Hancock Placement
The Company has entered into a subscription agreement with Hancock Prospecting dated 12 October 2025 ( Subscription Agreement ), pursuant to which Hancock Prospecting has agreed to subscribe for, and the Company has agreed to allot and issue, 225,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.10 per Share to raise $22,500,000 (being the subject of the Hancock Placement).
In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement, the issue of 225,000,000 Shares comprising the Hancock Placement is conditional upon the Company obtaining Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue to Hancock Prospecting (being the subject of Resolution 5).
The Subscription Agreement otherwise contains terms and conditions (including representations and warranties, indemnities and confidentiality provisions) which are considered standard for an agreement of its kind.
5. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES UNDER INSTITUTIONAL PLACEMENT
5.1 General
These Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 500,000,000 Shares under the Institutional Placement as set out in Section 4.2 above.
8
5.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
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 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, 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 obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 26 November 2024.
The issue 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 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
5.3 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.
5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If these Resolutions are passed, the issue 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 the issue.
If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue 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 the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
The Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A following the Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 8 being passed at the Meeting as set out in Section 9.1.
5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Names of persons to whom Securities were issued or the basis on which those persons were identified/selected |

6. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES TO HANCOCK PROSPECTING
6.1 General

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 5.2 above.
The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue 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.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue, the Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be of no force or effect, and the Company will not be able to raise the additional funds pursuant to the Hancock Placement.
6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3

(i) US$6,000,000 on 27 November 2025 (being the date 9 months after Completion); and

11
(together, the Deferred Payments ).

The Company entered into a mandate agreement with Orchid Capital Mining Pte Ltd ( Orchid Capital ) dated 8 May 2024, pursuant to which Orchid Capital introduced the Acquisition to the Company and provided advisory services to the Company in relation to the assessment of the Acquisition ( Orchid Mandate ).
Pursuant to the Orchid Mandate, the Company agreed to issue Orchid Capital the following as a fee for introducing the Acquisition to the Company, subject to Completion occurring:

(ii) 11,405,280 Shares in satisfaction of US$750,000 / AU$1,140,528 (based on an assumed exchange rate of AU$1.00 = US$0.66),
in order to satisfy the Introductory Fee Payment (the calculations may be different as a result of rounding).
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 25,091,620 Shares to Orchid Capital (and/or its nominee(s)) in satisfaction of the Introductory Fee Payment.
7.3 Additional information for Shareholders
The Company provides the following additional information in respect of the issue:
12
-
(a) the Company has elected to satisfy the Introductory Fee Payment through the issue of Shares to Orchid Capital in order to preserve its cash reserves as an exploration and development-focused company. The Company’s strategy is to conserve cash where practicable so that a greater proportion of available funds may be directed towards its exploration and development activities, rather than being applied to non-operational payments;
-
(b) the deemed issue price of $0.10 was agreed by the Company and Orchid Capital on the basis that this is the issue price of Shares pursuant to the Placement announced to ASX on 13 October 2025 which secured funds to make the Deferred Payments, and would be the same issue price as funds which would need secured from third parties to pay the Introductory Fee Payment in cash in the alternative;
-
(c) the issue of Shares to Orchid Capital in satisfaction of the Introductory Fee Payment does not alter the total economic value of the consideration payable to Orchid Capital under the terms of the Orchid Mandate. The number of Shares to be issued will be calculated based on the agreed dollar value of the Introductory Fee Payment, ensuring that Orchid Capital receives the same economic benefit as it would have received if the payment had been made in cash;
-
(d) the Company has agreed to issue the Shares to Orchid Capital on the basis that the proposed issue does not materially change the number of Shares originally contemplated to be issued pursuant to the Acquisition. The proposed issue increases the total Shares contemplated to be issued pursuant to the Acquisition by 2% which the Company does not consider to be material to Shareholders; and
-
(e) based on the Company having 2,945,733,183 Shares on issue as at 16 October 2025, if the Shares the subject of this Resolution are issued, Shareholders will be diluted by approximately 0.84%, being less than 1%.
7.4 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 5.2 above.
The proposed issue falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2 which excludes from the restrictions in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A an agreement to issue equity securities that is conditional on the holders of its ordinary securities approving the issue under Listing Rule 7.1 before the issue is made. The proposed issue therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
7.5
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue. In addition, the issue 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.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and will be required to satisfy the Introductory Fee Payment by making cash payments to Orchid Capital.

8. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SECURITIES UNDER AN INCENTIVE PLAN
8.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) for the issue of a maximum of 172,286,659 Securities under the employee incentive scheme titled “Employee Incentive Securities Plan” ( 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.
8.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 5.2 above.
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.
8.3 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of Securities stated in Section 8.4
14
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 this Resolution 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 the Securities.
8.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Terms of the Plan | A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 1. |
| Number of Securities previously issued under the Plan |
The Company has issued 87,000,000 Securities under its previous incentive plan titled “Performance Rights and Options Plan” (Previous Plan) since the Company adopted the Previous Plan. The Previous Plan was last approved by Shareholders on 8 October 2024. At the general meeting of Shareholders held on 8 October 2024, the Company obtained Shareholder approval to increase the maximum number of Securities that could be issued under the Previous Plan to 87,250,890. Since 8 October 2024, the Company has issued 62,500,000 Securities under the Previous Plan. The Company has not issued any Securities under the new Plan the subject of this Resolution as this is the first time that Shareholder approval is being sought for the adoption of the Plan. |
| Maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan |
The maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), following Shareholder approval, is 172,286,659 Securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately. The Company may also 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. |

9. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE
9.1 General
This 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.
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 5.2 above.
15
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. As of the date of this Notice, the Company’s market capitalisation is $427,131,312. The Company is therefore not an Eligible Entity as at the date of this Notice.
If the Company is not an Eligible Entity at the date of the Meeting, the Company will withdraw this Resolution.
9.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
For this Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be cast in favour of the Resolution.
If the Company is an Eligible Entity as at the date of the Meeting and this Resolution 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 the Company is an Eligible Entity as at the date of the Meeting but this Resolution 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.
9.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
| REQUIRED INFORMATION | DETAILS |
|---|---|
| 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: (a) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting; (b) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and (c) 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). |
| Minimum price | Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash consideration 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: (d) 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 (e) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued. |
| Use of funds | The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for the acquisition of resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current and new assets/or projects (funds would then be used for project, feasibility studies and ongoing project administration), the development of the Company’s current business and general working capital. |
| 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. |

DETAILS
If this Resolution 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 16 October 2025.
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.

$43,007,704 | $85,426,262 | $128,433,966 |
*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 2,945,733,183 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice, which does not include the Shares issued pursuant to the Institutional Placement, the Shares to be issued under the Hancock Placement or the Shares to be issued to Orchid Capital.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 16 October 2025 (being $0.145) ( Issue Price ). The Issue Price at a 50% increase and 50% decrease are each rounded to three decimal places prior to the calculation of the funds raised.
-
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 unless otherwise disclosed.
-
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

||
| Allocation policy under 7.1A Mandate |

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: (a) the purpose of the issue; (b) 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; (c) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company; (d) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company; (e) prevailing market conditions; and (f) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable). |

| In the case of Options, subject to the Board’s approval, in lieu of paying the aggregate exercise price specified in the Exercise Notice, the Participant may elect a cashless exercise (Cashless Exercise) whereby the Board will issue to the Participant that number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) calculated in accordance with the following formula: S=O* (MVS-EP) MVS Where: S = number of Shares to be issued on the exercise of the Options. O = number of Options being exercised. MVS = market value of shares, being the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the five trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise. EP = Exercise Price of the Options. For the avoidance of doubt, if the sum of the above calculation is zero or negative, then the holder will not be entitled to use Cashless Exercise. Convertible Securities may not be exercised unless and until that security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules. |
|
|---|---|
| Timing of issue of Shares and quotation of Shares on exercise |
Within five business days after the issue of a valid notice of exercise by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant. |
| Restriction periods and restrictions on transfer of Shares on exercise |
If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction. Additionally, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the following restrictions: (a) if the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act; (b) all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to restrictions imposed by applicable law on dealing in Shares by persons who possess material information likely to affect the value of the Shares and which is not generally available; and (c) all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are subject to the terms of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy. |
| Rights attaching to Shares on exercise |
All Shares issued upon exercise of a Convertible Security will rank equally in all respects with the then Shares of the Company. |
24
| Change of control | If a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50% of the Company’s issued capital), unvested Convertible Securities will vest unless the Board determines in its discretion otherwise. The Board’s discretion in determining the treatment of any unvested Convertible Securities on a change of control event is limited to vesting or varying any vesting conditions in respect to the Convertible Securities and does not include a discretion to lapse or forfeit unvested Convertible Securities for less than fair value. |
|---|---|
| Participation in entitlements and bonus issues |
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs, Participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues. |
| Adjustment for bonus issue |
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the Participant is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised. |
| Reorganisation | If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. |
| Buy-Back | Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy-back Convertible Securities or Shares issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities in accordance with the terms of the Plan. |
| Employee Share Trust |
The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding securities for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of holders upon exercise of Convertible Securities. |
| Amendment of Plan | Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions 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. 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, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants. |
| Plan duration | The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants. If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant. |
| 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) except to the extent an invitation provides otherwise. |
25
| Withholding | Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan rules, and without limiting the amounts which may be deducted or withheld under applicable laws, if a member of the Group, a trustee or the Plan administrator is obliged, or reasonably believes that it may have an obligation to account for any tax, or any superannuation amounts (or equivalent social security contributions, if applicable) in respect of a Participant (Withholding Amount), then that Group company, trustee or Plan administrator (as applicable) is entitled to withhold or be reimbursed by the Participant for the Withholding Amount payable or paid. |
