$3.3$ Additional information about Performance Rights to be issued to Bryah Resources
In addition to the information stated in the Prospectus at Section 7.2(a) (Acquisition of Tumblegum South Project) and Annexure E (Independent Expert's Report on Performance Rights), the following information is provided in relation to the 3,000,000 Class A Performance Rights and 4,000,000 Class B Performance Rights to be issued to Bryah Resources as part of the Purchase Consideration for the acquisition of the Tumblegum South Project under the terms of the Tumblegum South Acquisition Agreement between the Company and Bryah Resources.
The Company proposes to issue the Performance Rights as part-consideration for the Tumblegum South Acquisition, and to align the interests of Bryah and the directors with the future success of the Company. In opting to issue a significant proportion of the Purchase Consideration as Performance Rights, the Company is seeking to balance the inherent speculative nature of mining exploration with its duty to protect its shareholders against unwarranted economic dilution.
The Company has determined the number of Performance Rights to be issued to Bryah Resources and considers the number to be appropriate and equitable having regard to an assessment of the value of M51/888 based on a "resource ounce" methodology and an assessment of the value of Shares to be issued as consideration for the Tumblegum South Project, on the following basis:
the 9,000,000 Shares to be issued have been valued at \$0.20 each (being the proposed $(a)$ issue price of Shares under the Public Offer, for a total value of \$1.8 million; this values the Tumblegum South Project at ~\$42/resource ounce (\$1,800,000 / 42,500 resource ounces) based on the existing inferred mineral resource;
- the additional Shares to be issued on the vesting of the 3,000,000 Performance Shares if $(b)$ the Milestone for the Class A Performance Rights is achieved have a value of \$600,000 at \$0.20 each at the IPO price per Share; this values the Tumblegum South Project at ~\$56/resource ounce (\$2.4 million / 42,500 resource ounces), reflective of the increase in value of the Tumblegum South Project if a measured mineral resource is determined; and
- $(c)$ the additional Shares to be issued on the vesting of the 4,000,000 Performance Shares if the Milestone for the Class B Performance Rights is achieved have a value of \$800,000 at \$0.20 each; these additional Shares will be issued if gold production commences at Tumblegum South Project and are reflective of the expected increase in value of the Tumblegum South Project where it is able to be developed to a point where production of gold is economic.
$3.4$ Additional information about Performance Rights to be issued to Directors and CEO
In addition to the information stated in the Prospectus at Section 9.3 (Interests of Officers) of the Prospectus and Annexure E (Independent Expert's Report on Performance Rights), the following information is provided in relation to 2,500,000 Class B Performance Rights proposed to be granted to the CEO and the Directors.
The Performance Rights are being issued to the CEO and the Directors in connection with the Public Offer to incentivise them and are not "ordinary course of business remuneration securities".
The CEO, Greg Almond, will have primary responsibility for delivering on the milestone to the Class B Performance Rights in his capacity as CEO. Mr Almond's proposed allocation of Performance Rights, being greater than each other Director, reflects this primary responsibility. Each of the Directors is responsible for the Company's performance in their roles overseeing the Company's corporate governance, monitoring the performance of the Company's executive team (primarily Mr Almond), signing off on capital allocation decisions and the strategic direction of the Company, and managing the Company's risk profile.
Details of the Company's securities held or to be held by the CEO and the Directors (or their associates):
| Director | Number of Shares held | Performance Rights to be granted |
|---|---|---|
| Gregory Almond | Nil | 1,000,000 |
| lan Stuart (Scarfell Pty Ltd ATF Stuart Superannuation Fund) |
30,000 Shares issued at \$0.05 / Share; cash consideration paid for issue of Shares |
750,000 |
| Ashley Jones (ATF Jones Family Trust) |
30,000 Share issued at \$0.05 / Share (cash consideration paid for issue of Shares) |
375,000 |
| Stephen Strubel (SRSHGS Pty Ltd - SRS Family A/C) |
1,800,001 Shares issued at \$0.0002 / Share (except 1 Share issued at \$1); cash consideration paid for issue of Shares |
375,000 |
It is considered appropriate to incentivise the CEO and the Directors to achieve the Performance Shares' milestones, as it aligns their interests with that of Shareholders and the quantum of the incentive is considered reasonable having regard to the cash remuneration of the CEO as salary and the Directors as fees.
The Directors consider that the number of Performance Rights to be issued to the CEO is appropriate and equitable as it provides only minimal dilution to Shareholders of 1.57% (based on the total Shares to be on issue on completion of the Public Offer and issue of Shares on vesting of all other Performance Rights).
The Company considers that the number of Performance Rights to be issued to the Directors is appropriate and equitable as it provides only minimal dilution to Shareholders of 2.36% (based on the total Shares to be on issue on completion of the Public Offer and issue of Shares on vesting of all other Performance Rights).
