NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting.

This Explanatory Statement should be read in full and in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary in Section 9 of this Explanatory Statement. You should consult with your professional advisers if you have any questions in relation to how to vote on the Resolutions.

1.2 Resolutions and recommendations

There are seven Resolutions to be considered at the Meeting.

Certain voting exclusions are imposed by the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules in relation to the Resolutions as detailed in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. The Directors intend to vote in favour of each Resolution (subject to any applicable voting exclusions) and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of each Resolution.

2. Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report

The Corporations Act requires:

  • the reports of the Directors and Auditors; and

  • the annual report, including the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2021,

to be laid before the Meeting. Neither the Corporations Act nor the Constitution requires a vote of Shareholders on the reports or statements. However, Shareholders will be given an opportunity to raise questions or comments on the management of the Company.

Also, a reasonable opportunity will be given to Shareholders as a whole at the Meeting to ask the Company’s Auditor questions relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

3. Resolution 1 – To adopt the Remuneration Report

A resolution for adoption of the Remuneration Report is required to be considered and voted on in accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act. The Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors' Report included in the Annual Report. The Remuneration Report:

  • explains the Board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of the Key Management Personnel;

  • explains the relationship between the Board's remuneration policy and the Company's performance;

  • sets out remuneration details for each of the Key Management Personnel; and

  • details and explains any performance conditions applicable to the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel.

Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the

8

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

Directors or the Company itself. A failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

However, under sections 250U and 250V of the Corporations Act, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a “no” vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the Managing Director who, under the Listing Rules may continue to hold office indefinitely without being re-elected) will cease to hold office, but be eligible for election, and an election of Directors will take place.

At the annual general meeting of the Company immediately preceding the Annual General Meeting to which the Notice of Meeting relates, the Company did not receive a “no” vote of 25% or more on the resolution for the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting. While a vote on the adoption of the Remuneration Report resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.

Important Notice

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the Proxy Form. If the Chairman is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the proxy form, the Shareholder is deemed to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intention, even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1, subject to being authorised to do so.

4. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Andrew Seaton as Director

4.1 Background

Clause 4.6 of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 both provide that no director may hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s election or last reelection or for a continuous period of more than three years, whichever is longer. None of the Company’s directors are required to stand for re-election under clause 4.6 of the Constitution or ASX Listing Rule 14.4.

ASX Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting. This rule applies even where no director is required to stand for re-election at an annual general meeting under ASX Listing Rule 14.4.

Clause 4.7(d)(ii) of the Constitution provides that where the ASX Listing Rules require an election of the directors to be held and no directors are required to retire under clause 4.6 of the Constitution, then if no director wishes to retire and if two or more directors have held office for the same period of time, the director to retire must be determined by agreement, or failing agreement, by lot.

Mr Neville Power, Mr Stephen Bizzell and Mr Andrew Seaton were each elected at the Company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting, and have each held office for the longest period of time without re-election.

In accordance with clause 7.4(d)(ii) of the Constitution, Mr Seaton has, by agreement, determined to retire from office and offers himself up (and is eligible) for re-election at this Annual General Meeting.

Mr Seaton was first appointed to the Board as a Director on 18 August 2017 and was last re-elected as a Director at the Company’s Annual General Meeting in 2019.

Mr Seaton has over 30 years’ experience in the resources sector encompassing a broad range of finance, strategy, commercial, investment banking, engineering and project management roles. He has a deep

9

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

understanding of domestic Australian gas markets and global LNG industry dynamics having worked with Santos Ltd for 12 years, including 6 years as Chief Financial Officer. His prior experience includes advisory, mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt capital markets transactions with Merrill Lynch working in Australia and New York.

The board considers Mr Seaton to be an independent director.

Mr Seaton brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his role as a non-executive director of the Company, and for that reason, the Directors (other than Mr Seaton, who has an interest in the outcome of the Resolution) unanimously support Mr Seaton’s re-election.

4.2 Recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Seaton, who has an interest in the outcome of the Resolution) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

5. Resolutions 3 and 4 – Grant of Performance Rights to or for the benefit or Mr Stuart Nicholls, Managing Director

5.1 Background

Under Resolution 3, Shareholders’ approval is sought to the grant of 520,558 Performance Rights awarded under the FY21 Short-term Incentive Plan ( STIP Performance Rights ) to or for the benefit of the Managing Director of the Company, Mr Stuart Nicholls, under the Company’s Employee Share Incentive Plan ( ESIP ).

Under Resolution 4, Shareholders’ approval is sought to the grant of 1,779,687 Performance Rights awarded under the FY22 Long-term Incentive Plan ( LTIP Performance Rights ) to or for the benefit of the Managing Director of the Company, Mr Stuart Nicholls, under the ESIP.

Each Performance Right is a right to subscribe for one Share for nil consideration, subject to satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions described below, and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in the ESIP.

The STIP Performance Rights are awarded to Mr Nicholls for achievement of the 2020/21 financial year STIP which operated over a performance period from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021. The STIP Performance Rights will vest 30 days after the date of grant (subject to Resolution 3 being passed by Shareholders).

The LTIP Performance Rights are intended to incentivise Mr Nicholls to work towards, and to reward him for, generating a return on investment for the Company’s Shareholders over the longer term. For this reason, the LTIP Performance Rights will be granted subject to performance or vesting conditions that are directly linked to Shareholder returns over a three-year period and which must be satisfied before the LTIP Performance Rights can be exercised and converted to Shares. The proposed LTIP Performance Rights grant is for the 2021/22 financial year.

The vesting criteria for the LTIP Performance Rights is set out in the table below and will be assessed at the end of a three-year period commencing 1 July 2021 ( Performance Period ).

Measure Weighting Hurdles Vesting Percentage
Absolute 50% Below 10% p.a. 0
Company TSR 10% to < 15% p.a. 25%
15% to <20% p.a. 50%
20% to < 25% p.a. 75%
Above 25% p.a. 100%

10

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

Relative TSR

50%

Below 60[th] percentile 0 60[th] percentile 60% 61[nd] to 75[th] percentile 61% to 99% > 76[th] percentile and above 100%

The number of LTIP Performance Rights that will vest and become convertible to Shares will depend on the rate of return achieved, with 50% of the Performance Rights weighted on achievement of Company specific hurdle rates of return (as set out above) ( Absolute Company TSR ) and 50% of the Performance Rights weighted on the Company’s rate of return relative to the rate of return achieved by a comparative group of 14 ASX listed Australian exploration and production companies with varying market capitalisation ( Relative TSR ). The peer group will be reviewed for relevance and amended annually as appropriate.

All unvested and unexercised Performance Rights will automatically expire 90 days from the end of the Performance Period ( Expiry Date ).

If Mr Nicholls ceases to be employed prior to satisfaction of the vesting conditions, the Performance Rights will automatically lapse unless the Board, in its discretion and subject to applicable law and the ASX Listing Rules, determines otherwise. If Mr Nicholls ceases employment and the vesting conditions have been satisfied, the Performance Rights will lapse on the earlier of the Expiry Date and the date that is 90 days after the date of cessation of Mr Nicholls’ employment, unless the Board, in its discretion and subject to applicable law and the ASX Listing Rules, determines otherwise.

5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Under section 208 of the Corporations Act (which is part of Chapter 2E), 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 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.

Approval of Resolution 3 and Resolution 4 will each result in the granting of a conditional right to subscribe for Shares for nil consideration to a Director. This constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to a related party as Directors are related parties of the Company. However, the Board has determined that the grant of Performance Rights to Mr Nicholls, as part remuneration for his services is reasonable in the Company’s circumstances and those of Mr Nicholls, and as such does not require Shareholder approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act by virtue of the exception to shareholder approval in section 211 of the Corporations Act. The Company has a need for highly skilled personnel to deliver on the Company’s strategic objectives, but relatively limited cash reserves to attract and reward such personnel. The grant of Performance Rights not only assists preserve cash for the Company’s business activities, but also incentivises personnel to achieve the Company set strategic objectives and, in the case of the LTIP Performance Rights, ultimately deliver a return on investment to its Shareholders. The grant of the Performance Rights when taken together with the balance of Mr Nicholls’ remuneration package is also considered reasonable by the Board when compared with the remuneration packages of managing directors and chief executive officers of companies of a similar size and in the same industry to that of the Company. The position taken by the Board has been supported by a remuneration review commissioned by the Company and undertaken by Mercer in August 2021.

5.3 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party unless an exception in Listing Rule 10.12 applies. As noted above, each of the Directors are a related party of the Company.

11

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit certain persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of its Shareholders, including a Director.

One of the exceptions to Listing Rule 10.11 (being Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 8) is that the relevant equity securities are issued under an employee incentive scheme with ordinary shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14.

As noted above, any Performance Rights granted to Mr Nicholls will be pursuant to the ESIP. Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval to the award of the LTIP Performance Rights and STIP Performance Rights to Mr Nicholls under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14, the Performance Rights (and any Shares issued upon conversion of the Performance Rights) if approved for grant under Listing Rule 10.14, will not be counted towards any future calculation of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

5.4 Information required by Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the grant of the Performance Rights to Mr Nicholls pursuant to Resolution 3 and Resolution 4:

  • (a) The Performance Rights the subject of Resolution 3 and Resolution 4 will be granted to Managing Director, Mr Stuart Nicholls (or his nominee).

  • (b) Mr Nicholls is a Director of the Company and therefore falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1.

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

(n) A voting exclusion statement is set out in Notice of Meeting.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the grant of the Performance Rights to Mr Nicholls (or his nominee) as Shareholder approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, and as noted above, the grant of the Performance Rights will not use up the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

5.5 Further Information

The following additional disclosures are made in relation to Resolution 3 and Resolution 4 and for all other purposes.

(a) Valuation of Performance Rights

STIP Performance Rights – The fair value of the STIP Performance Rights to be granted to or for the benefit of Mr Nicholls is assessed as $169,650, and is calculated as the product of 50% of Mr Nicholls’ fixed remuneration weighted by the STIP 58.5% scorecard result for the 2020/21 financial year, divided by $0.3259 (being the volume weighted average share price over the 5 trading days prior to commencement of the Performance Period).

LTIP Performance Rights – The fair value of the LTIP Performance Rights to be granted to or for the benefit of Mr Nicholls is to be determined and verified by an independent consultant. As the indicative value has been calculated by reference to the market value of a fully paid ordinary share on 28 September 2021, the actual fair value attributed by the Company is not available as at the date of the notice.

The table below provides the indicative value of the LTI award benefit to be granted at $0.2826 (being the daily volume weighted average share price for the five consecutive trading days prior to 28 September 2021) for 1,779,687 LTIP Performance Rights.

Indicative Valueper Unit Indicative Value of Total LTI Award
$0.2826 $502,940

(b) Effect of grant of Performance Rights

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has the following equity securities on issue. See the Company’s Application for Quotation of Securities lodged with ASX on 30 September 2021.

Type of security Number on issue
Shares 2,023,343,766
Options 71,500,000 (exercisable into 71,500,000 Shares)
Performance Rights 17,914,474 (exercisable into 17,914,474 Shares)

If Resolution 3 is approved and the STIP Performance Rights are granted (without taking any other resolution into account), the Company will have on issue an additional 520,558 Performance Rights.

If Resolution 4 is approved and the LTIP Performance Rights are granted (without taking any other resolution into account), the Company will have on issue an additional 1,779,687 Performance Rights.

If any of the STIP Performance Rights or LTIP Performance Rights to be granted to or for the benefit of Mr Nicholls are converted into Shares the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders.

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, on a fully diluted basis (i.e. assuming all of the existing options and Performance Rights on issue are exercised and no other securities are issued), the

13

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

Company has an equivalent of a maximum of 2,112,758,240 Shares. The issue of the Performance Rights would result in dilution (expressed as a percentage of the expanded Share capital, assuming both the STIP and LTIP Performance Rights are approved and granted, but without taking into account securities issued pursuant to any other resolution) of approximately:

  • In the case the LTIP Performance Rights, 0.084%; and

  • In the case of the STIP Performance Rights, 0.025%.

(c)

(d) Other aspects of remuneration packages

The Company aims to award senior management with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities to ensure consistency with the Company’s remuneration objectives. The Company has entered into a standard contract of employment with Mr Nicholls, which provides for both fixed and variable remuneration.

Mr Nicholls, as an Executive Director, is entitled to an annual salary of $580,000 (including superannuation). In addition to fixed remuneration, Mr Nicholls is eligible to participate in the shortterm and long-term incentives plans up to 75% and 100% respectively, of his fixed remuneration, as outlined in the Remuneration Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2021.

(e)

Rationale and Recommendation

The Performance Rights proposed to be granted to or for the benefit of Managing Director, Mr Nicholls, (per Resolutions 3 and 4) were approved for grant by the Board (subject to obtaining Shareholder approval):

  • as a means of retaining as Managing Director a person of the calibre and with the skills and experience that Mr Nicholls has; and

  • to incentivise Mr Nicholls to work towards, and to reward him for, achieving increases in the Company's value as determined by the market price of Shares.

For the reasons set out above, the Board (other than Mr Nicholls who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3 and 4) consider the grant of the Performance Rights appropriate in the circumstances and recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4. The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4.

If Resolution 3 or Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the grant of Performance Rights the subject of the applicable Resolution.

If Resolution 3 or Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the grant of Performance Rights the subject of the applicable Resolution.

14

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

(f) Effect on earnings and other

There will be an immediate effect on the Company’s earnings subsequent to the grant of the Performance Rights in that the Company will likely recognise a share-based payment expense in the Company’s profit and loss statement of approximately:

  • in the case of the STIP Performance Rights, $169,650 over a 30 day period; and

  • in the case of the LTIP Performance Rights, $502,940 over a three year period.

The opportunity costs, taxation consequences (such as fringe benefits tax) and benefits foregone by the Company is nil.

6. Resolution 5 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Placement Shares

6.1 Placement and Share Purchase Plan

As announced on 16 April 2021, the Company:

  • (a) completed a placement of 250,000,000 new Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.30 to raise $75 million ( Placement ); and

  • (b) advised its intention to undertake a share purchase plan at an issue price of $0.30 to raise up to $5 million with the discretion to accept oversubscriptions ( SPP ).

As announced on 7 May 2021, the SPP was heavily oversubscribed with approximately $30 million of acceptances received. The Company determined to double the SPP offer amount to raise $10 million before costs and expenses.

Following the Placement, the Company is fully funded to deliver a suite of potentially transformational Perth Basin outcomes, including:

  • (a) Project financing and in turn delivery of ‘First Gas’ from Strike’s Phase 1 of its Greater Erregulla Project at West Erregulla;

  • (b) Proving up the potentially significant South Erregulla gas resources;

  • (c) Appraisal of the Perth Basin wet-gas Jurassic play at Walyering;

  • (d) Pre-FID milestones for Project Haber proposed 1.4mtpa fertiliser development (refer to Strike’s ASX announcements dated 11 January 2021 and 9 April 2021 for further details);

  • (e) Subsurface geotechnical work, engineering and preparation for the Mid-West Geothermal pilot; and

  • (f) Critical 2D & 3D seismic campaigns to delineate the next wave of gas and geothermal resource addition.

The SPP was offered to supplement the funds raised pursuant to the Placement, and as a means of extending the opportunity to eligible Shareholders to participate in the capital raising at the same price as the Placement.

Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

6.2 Listing Rule 7.4

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

15

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The Placement does not fit within any of these exceptions 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 issue date.

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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, information is provided in relation to the Placement as follows:

  • (a) The Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors who are clients of Euroz Hartleys and UBS AG, Australia Branch who acted as joint lead managers to the Placement ( Placement Participants ). The Placement Participants were identified through a bookbuild process joint-lead managed by Euroz Hartleys and UBS AG, Australia Branch. None of the Placement Participants 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 as associate of any of these parties; or

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company.

  • (b) 250,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares were issued.

  • (c) The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary share and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares.

  • (d) The Placement Shares were issued on 23 April 2021.

  • (e) The Placement Shares were issued at a price of $0.30 per Placement Share.

  • (f) The purpose of the issue of the Placement Shares and details of the use of the funds raised pursuant to the Placement are detailed in Section 6.1.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 5.

6.4 Recommendation

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

If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 6, the prior issue of the Upfront Consideration Shares will be counted towards the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. and as a result, the Company’s ability to issue further equity securities if required in the future will be limited.

7.4 Recommendation

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

8. Resolution 7 – Issue of Performance Shares to MWGP Shareholders

8.1 Background

Please refer to sections 7.1 and 7.2 above for background information concerning the Transaction.

Resolution 7 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 7.

8.2 Listing Rule 7.1

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 to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Performance Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and, after factoring in the Shares the subject of Resolutions 5 and 6, exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 7 seeks the required shareholder approval to issue the Performance Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Shares. In addition, the issue of the Performance Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number equity securities that the Company can issue without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of any Shares upon conversion of the Performance Shares will not require approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 pursuant to Exception 9 under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the issue of Shares issued upon conversion of the Performance Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number equity securities that the Company can issue without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not issue the Performance Shares to the MWGP Shareholders and will instead be obliged to pay the GEP Award Consideration and the Initial Resource Assessment Consideration in cash to the MWGP Shareholders.

8.3 Listing Rule 6.1 and Guidance Note 19

Listing Rule 6.1 requires that the terms that apply to each class of equity securities which an entity has on issue must, in ASX’s opinion, be appropriate and equitable.

ASX has provided a confirmation to the Company that confirms, subject to certain conditions, that the terms of the Performance Shares are appropriate and equitable pursuant to Listing Rule 6.1 ( ASX Confirmation ).

8.4 Specific Information Required by Listing Rule 7.3

For the purposes of Shareholder approval of the issue of the Performance Shares and the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3 the following information is provided:

SCHEDULE 1

SUMMARY OF EMPLOYEE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

SUMMARY OF EMPLOYEE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN
Participants Pursuant to the ESIP, the Board may offer Incentive Securities to each Eligible Person, being defined as a director or
an employee (whether full-time, part-time or casual) of the Company or of an associated body corporate of the
Company or any person who the Board determines is to be treated as an eligible person from time to time having
regard to regulatory constraints under the Corporations Act, ASIC policy or any other law applicable to the Company.
In determining whether an Eligible Person is entitled to participate in the ESIP and be offered Incentive Securities, the
Board must consider (among other criteria), the seniority and position of the Eligible Person within the Company, the
Eligible Person's length of service, the potential contribution of the Eligible Person to the growth of the Company, and
any other matters which the Board considers relevant.
Offers Each offer of Incentive Securities will state (among other things):

the name and address of the Eligible Person to whom the offer is made;

that the Eligible Person to whom the offer is addressed may accept the whole or any lesser number of Incentive
Securities offered;

the minimum number of Incentive Securities and any multiple of such minimum or any other number which may
be accepted;

the exercise conditions (if any) applicable to the Incentive Securities;

the period or periods during which the Incentive Securities or any of them may be exercised, and their expiry
date (which must not be, in the case of Options, more than 5 years after the issue date and, in the case of
Performance Rights, not more than 90 days after the vesting date of Performance Rights or such other date as
determined by the Board at the time of offer); and

any other matters which the Board may determine from time to time having regard to regulatory constraints
under the Corporations Act, ASIC policy or any other law applicable to the Company.
No consideration is payable by an Eligible Person for the grant of Incentive Securities, unless the Board decides
otherwise. Subject to approval by the Board in its absolute discretion, an Eligible Person may nominate another
person or entity to be the holder of Incentive Securities. An Eligible Person must ensure that their permitted nominee
(if any) complies with the ESIP.
Shares
upon
exercise
Each issued Incentive Security entitles the holder upon exercise to one Share (subject to the satisfaction or waiver of
any exercise conditions), which will rank equally with all other Shares. The maximum number of Incentive Securities
that may be issued under the ESIP will be determined by the Board from time to time in its discretion having regard
to regulatory constraints under the Corporations Act, ASIC policy or any other law applicable to the Company.

26

Exercise price The exercise price of an Option shall be such a price as is determined by the Board when it resolves to offer the Option,
provided that the exercise price shall not be less than the weighted average sale price on ASX of Shares during the five
consecutive Trading Days prior to the date of the Board resolution.
Alternatively, the holder of Options may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the
number of Options but that on exercise of those Options the Company will transfer or allot to the holder that number
of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the then market value of the Shares at the time of exercise
(calculated by reference to the 5 day volume weighted price of Shares on the ASX prior to the exercise date) and the
Exercise Price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Options (with the number of Shares rounded down
to the nearest whole Share).
Performance Rights have no exercise price.
Not
transferable
Incentive Securities held by or for the benefit of an Eligible Person are not transferable, except in the case of death of
the Eligible Person.
Quotation Quotation of the Incentive Securities on the ASX will not be sought. However, the Company will apply to the ASX for
official quotation of the Shares issued on the exercise of Incentive Securities.
Exercise
conditions
An Incentive Security may only be exercised after any exercise conditions imposed by the Board on exercise are
satisfied. The Board can reduce, waive or vary (provided such variation is not adverse to the holder) any exercise
conditions at any time.
An Incentive Security will become immediately exercisable, however:

during a takeover Bid Period (as defined in the Corporations Act); or

within 30 days after a “Change of Control Event” has occurred (defined to be "a shareholder, or a group of
associated shareholders, becoming entitled to sufficient shares in the Company to give it or them the ability, in
general meeting, to replace all or a majority of the Board or the Board determines that this has occurred"); or

on an application under section 411 of the Corporations Act, within 30 days after a court orders a meeting to be
held concerning a proposed compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme for
the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company.
If an Incentive Security is not exercised within the period specified above, then the Incentive Security will lapse
immediately.
Lapsing An Incentive Security not validly exercised on or before its expiry date will automatically lapse.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, an Incentive Security in respect of which any exercise conditions have yet
to be satisfied will also lapse in the following circumstances:

where the relevant Eligible Person ceases to be an Eligible Person (other than due to retirement, total and
permanent disablement, redundancy or death), the Incentive Security will automatically lapse; or

where the relevant Eligible Person ceases to be an Eligible Person due to retirement, total and permanent
disablement, redundancy or death, the Incentive Security will be exercisable within 3 months or such longer
period as the Board determines, subject to the Board in its absolute discretion reducing, waiving or varying
(provided such variation is not adverse to the holder) the exercise conditions so that the Incentive Securities may
be exercised, after which any unexercised Incentive Securities will automatically lapse.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, an Incentive Security in respect of which all of the exercise conditions
have been satisfied will lapse in the following circumstances:

where the holder ceases to be an Eligible Person (other than due to retirement, total and permanent
disablement, redundancy or death), the Incentive Security may be exercised within 3 months after that date (or
such longer period as the Board determines) and will then automatically lapse; or

where the holder ceases to be an Eligible Person due to retirement, total and permanent disablement,
redundancy or death, the Incentive Security may be exercised at any time prior to its expiry date.
Corporate
actions
27

(New issues) Incentive Security holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of securities to existing
holders of Shares. However, the Company must give Incentive Security holders prior notice of new issues before
the applicable record date, in accordance with the Listing Rules.

(Bonus issues) If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Shares and an Incentive Security is not exercised before
the record date for the bonus issue, the number of Shares over which an Incentive Security is exercisable will be
increased by the number of Shares the Incentive Security holder would have received if the Incentive Security
had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

(Pro rata issues and reorganisations) If there is a pro rata issue to the holders of Shares or a reorganisation of
the capital of the Company, the exercise price of an Option or (if applicable) the rights of an Incentive Security
holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules.
  • Amendments The Board may, subject to the Listing Rules, alter, delete or add to the rules of the ESIP at any time. However, if any amendment would adversely affect the rights of ESIP participants, the Board must obtain the consent of participants who between them hold not less than 75% of the total number of Incentive Securities issued and held under the ESIP.
