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 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 7 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 6 Resolutions to be considered at the Meeting.

Certain voting exclusions are imposed by the Corporations Act and the 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. Resolution 1 - Ratification of Prior Share Placement

2.1 Background

As announced on 30 May 2019, the Company completed a placement of 184,615,385 new Shares at $0.065 per Share to sophisticated and professional investors (as those terms are defined in sections 708(8) and 708(11) of the Corporations Act, respectively) ( May Placement ). The May Placement raised a total of $12 million (before issue costs).

The new Shares were placed within the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and without the issue of a prospectus or disclosure document in accordance with Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act.

Of the 184,615,385 new Shares placed as part of the May Placement, 180,000,000 of those new Shares ( Issued Placement Shares ) were issued on 6 and 7 June 2019. The remaining 4,615,385 new Shares are the subject of Resolutions 2 and 3.

2.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.4

As the Issued Placement Shares were issued within the Company's available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, Shareholder approval was not required for their issue.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows a company to seek Shareholder ratification of an issue of securities after the issue has been made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (so long as that issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time). Accordingly, the Company now seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Issued Placement Shares. Approval of this Resolution will provide the Company with enhanced flexibility to issue further equity securities as and when required.

The following information is required by Listing Rule 7.5 in relation to the issue of the Issued Placement Shares.

  • (a) The number of Issued Placement Shares was 180,000,000.

  • (b) The issue price for each Issued Placement Share was $0.065.

7

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

  • (c) The Issued Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares which rank equally in all respects with existing Shares.

  • (d) The Issued Placement Shares were issued to certain sophisticated and professional investors identified by Petra Capital, broker to the May Placement.

  • (e) The proceeds from the May Placement are being used to fund the drilling and completion of the West Erregulla 2 well; ongoing operations of the Jaws Project pilot test; repayment of the remaining CBA facility; seismic preparation activities across the Company’s Southern Cooper Basin and other Perth Basin projects; and general working capital.

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

2.3 Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 and intend to vote any Shares they own or control in favour of this Resolution.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

3. Resolutions 2 and 3 - Issue of Shares to Non-Executive Directors, Mr John Poynton AO and Mr Stephen Bizzell

3.1 Background

Directors, Mr John Poynton AO and Mr Stephen Bizzell, each participated in the May Placement referred to in section 2 above for the following number of Shares:

  • Mr Poynton - 1,538,462 Shares

  • Mr Bizzell - 3,076,923 Shares

3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Under section 208 of the Corporations Act, 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.

The Directors (other than Mr Poynton and Mr Bizzell who have material personal interests in Resolutions 2 and 3) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of their participation in the May Placement because the Shares to be issued to Mr Poynton and Mr Bizzell (or their respective nominees) will be issued on the same terms Shares issued to non-related parties who participated in the May Placement, as detailed in section 2 above. Accordingly, the remaining Directors consider that the issue of the Shares to Mr Poynton and Mr Bizzell (or their respective nominees) is on arm’s length terms in accordance with section 210 of the Corporations Act.

3.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 also 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 the Company is proposing to issue Shares to Director (or their nominees) who are related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors (other than Mr Poynton and Mr Bizzell) that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply to the issue of the Shares the subject of Resolutions 2 and 3.

8

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

3.4 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

  • Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Resolutions 2 and 3:

  • (a) The Shares the subject of Resolution 2 will be issued to Mr Stephen Bizzell or his nominee, and the Shares the subject of Resolution 3 will be issued to Mr John Poynton or his nominee, as set out in Section 3.4(b) below.

  • (b) The maximum number of Shares to be issued to Mr Stephen Bizzell (or his nominee) is 3,076,923 Shares. The maximum number of Shares to be issued to Mr John Poynton (or his nominee) is 1,538,462 Shares.

  • (c) The Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolutions 2 and 3 will be issued as soon as practicable and in any event no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting.

  • (d) The issue price will be $0.065 per Share, being the same issue price as that of the Issued Placement Shares issued to participants in the May Placement who are not related parties of the Company.

  • (e) The Shares to be issued to Mr Stephen Bizzell and Mr John Poynton (or their respective nominees) will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.

  • (f) The proceeds from the issue of these Shares will be used as per the use of funds from the May Placement set out in paragraph 2.2(e) above.

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

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Shares to Mr Stephen Bizzell and Mr John Poynton (or their respective nominees) as Shareholder approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of these will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

3.5 Recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Bizzell and Mr Poynton who have material personal interests in the outcome of Resolutions 2 and 3) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2 and 3 and intend to vote any Shares they own or control in favour of this Resolution.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 2 and 3.

4. Resolution 4 – Issue of Options to or for the benefit of Non-Executive Director, Mr Stephen Bizzell

4.1 Background

On 31 December 2018, Mr Bizzell was elected to the Board. In consideration for Mr Bizzell’s service on the Board and subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, the Board approved the grant to Mr Bizzell (or his nominee) of 5,000,000 Options to subscribe for Shares with an exercise price of $0.15 over a 2-year exercise period from grant, as announced to ASX on 31 December 2019.

The rationale for the grant of the Options to Mr Bizzell is detailed in paragraph 4.6(f) below.

4.2 Terms and conditions of Options

The terms and conditions of the Options proposed to be granted are:

  • (1) Each Option will entitle the holder ( Optionholder ) to subscribe for one Share (subject to possible adjustments referred to in paragraphs (9) and (10) below).

9

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

  • (2) Each Option will be exercisable during the period from the date it is granted until 5.00pm (Adelaide time) on 17 May 2021 ( Expiry Date ). Options not exercised before the Expiry Date will lapse.

  • (3) The exercise price of each Option will be 15 cents (subject to any adjustment in accordance with the formula set out below in paragraph 11) ( Exercise Price ).

  • (4) The Options will be exercisable by notice in writing to the Company, delivered to the registered address of the Company and accompanied by the full payment of the Exercise Price in cleared funds.

  • (5) Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of any of the Options will rank in all respects on equal terms with the existing Shares. The Company will apply for official quotation by ASX of the Shares issued upon exercise of the Options within 5 business days (in South Australia) of the date of allotment of the Shares.

  • (6) The Options will not be quoted on ASX.

  • (7) The legal or a beneficial interest in an Option may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed without the prior written consent of the Board.

  • (8) The Options will not entitle the Optionholder to participate in any new issue of securities by the Company unless the Option has been duly exercised prior to the relevant record date. The Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to participate in any new issues of securities to holders of Shares, the record date will comply with the timetables prescribed by the ASX Listing Rules.

  • (9) If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Shares:

  • (a) the number of Shares over which each Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the Option would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue; and

  • (b) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.

  • (10) If, prior to the Expiry Date the issued capital of the Company is reorganised, the rights of the holders of the Options may be varied to comply with the ASX Listing Rules which apply to the reorganisation.

  • (11) If the Company makes a rights issue (other than a bonus issue), the Exercise Price of the Options will be reduced in accordance with the following formula:

����(���)� Reduced Option Exercise Price = (𝑂− ~~)~~ (���)

Where:

  • O = the old Exercise Price of the Option;

  • E = the number of underlying Shares into which one Option is exercisable;

  • P = the volume weighted average price per Share recorded on the stock market of ASX during the 5 trading days immediately preceding the exrights date or ex-entitlements date;

  • S = the subscription price for a Share under the pro rata issue;

  • D = the dividend due but not yet paid on existing underlying Shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue); and

10

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

N = the number of Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new Share.

4.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

The grant of Options to Director, Mr Bizzell, constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to a related party for the purpose of section 208 of the Corporations Act (explained in section 3.2 above), as a Director is a related party of the Company. Consequently, the grant of the Options to Mr Bizzell (or his nominee) requires shareholder approval for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act, unless an exception applies.

The grant of the Options to Mr Bizzell might be said to fall within one of the exceptions in sections 210 to 217 (eg. reasonable remuneration of an officer or director), however, your Directors (other than Mr Bizzell who has a material personal interest in Resolution 4) consider it prudent to seek Shareholder approval nonetheless under the Corporations Act.

4.4 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 also 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. It is the view of the Directors (other than Mr Bizzell) that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply to the grant of the Options to Mr Bizzell.

4.5 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the grant of the Options to Mr Bizzell:

  • (a) The Options will be granted to Director, Mr Stephen Bizzell (or his nominee).

  • (b) The maximum number of Options to be issued is 5,000,000 Options.

  • (c) The Options will be granted as soon as practicable and, in any event, no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting.

  • (d) The Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, and as such no funds will be raised from the grant of the Options. The exercise price of each Option is $0.15.

  • (e) Each Option is an option to subscribe for a fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company, on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. The terms of the Options are set out in Section 3.2.

  • (f) 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 Options to Mr Bizzell (or his nominee) as Shareholder approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the grant of the Options will not use up the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.6 Other Information

The following additional disclosures are made for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes.

  • (a) Nature of financial benefit

The proposed financial benefit to be given is the grant of Options (and the consequent issue of Shares upon the exercise of the Options) to or for the benefit of Mr Bizzell for nil consideration, other than the payment of the $0.15 exercise price upon exercise.

11

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

(b) Valuation of Options

The Directors have had the fair value of the Options to be awarded valued on a preliminary basis using a Black-Scholes model. The actual value of the Options will however be determined on a similar basis as at the actual date of the grant.

The assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes model used in calculating the preliminary value of the Options were as follows:

  • Share price = $0.079 per Share

  • Expected life = 2 years

  • Risk-free rate (r) = 1.83%

  • Expected share volatility (q)[] = 66%

  • Dividend yield = 0%

Using this method of valuation, the Company has determined a preliminary value per Option of $0.01 per Option.

The expected total financial benefit of the Options to be issued to or for the benefit of Mr Bizzell is $50,000.

(c) Effect of grant of Options

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has the following equity securities on issue. See the Company's Appendix 3B released to ASX on 7 June 2019 for further information.

Type of security Number on issue
Shares 1,544,087,301
Options 46,190,029 (exercisable into 46,190,029 Shares)
Performance Rights 13,494,982 (exercisable into 13,494,982 Shares)

If Resolution 4 is approved and the Options are granted, the Company will have on issue an additional 5,000,000 Options.

If any of the Options to be granted to or for the benefit of Mr Bizzell are exercised 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, including pursuant to Resolutions 2-6), the Company has an equivalent of a maximum of 1,603,772,312 Shares. The issue of up to 5,000,000 Shares upon the exercise of the Options to be issued to or for the benefit of Mr Bizzell would result in a dilution of approximately 0.3% (i.e. 5,000,000 Shares expressed as a percentage of the expanded Share capital of 1,603,772,312).

(d) Individual security holdings

 The volatility assumption is representative of the level of uncertainty expected in the movements of the Company’s Share price over the life of the Options.

(e) Other aspects of remuneration packages

Mr Bizzell, as a Non-Executive Director, is entitled to an annual director's fee, which is currently $50,400 (excluding superannuation).

(f)

Rationale and Recommendation

The Options proposed to be granted to or for the benefit of Non-Executive Director, Mr Bizzell, (per Resolution 4) were approved for grant by the Board (subject to obtaining Shareholder approval):

  • as a means of retaining on the Board persons of the calibre and with the skills and experience that Mr Bizzell has; and

  • to incentivise him to work towards, and to reward him for, achieving increases in the Company's value as determined by the market price of Shares. For this last reason, the exercise price is set at a 96% premium to the share price as at 31 December 2018.

Whilst the grant of the Options to a Non-Executive Director will mean the Company is not complying with Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX’s Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3[rd] edition), for the above reasons the Board (other than Mr Bizzell who has a material personal interests in Resolution 4) consider the grant of the Options appropriate in the circumstances and recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

(g) Effect on earnings and other

There will be an effect on the Company’s earnings for the 2-year period subsequent to the grant of the Options in that the Company will likely recognise a share-based payment expense in the Company’s profit and loss statement of approximately $25,000 per annum.

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

each administered under and in accordance with the Company’s Employee Share Incentive Plan ( ESP ).

The award of Performance Rights to or for the benefit of Mr Nicholls is subject to and to be determined in accordance with the FY19 STIP and FY20 LTIP, as detailed below.

5.2 FY20 LTIP

Details of the FY20 LTIP are as follows:

  • The objective of the FY20 LTIP is to reward senior management in a manner that aligns remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth over the longer term.

  • The FY20 LTIP is based on total shareholder returns ( TSR ) over a three-year period commencing from 1 July 2019 and is a non-cash award delivered in the form of Performance Rights which vest (become convertible to Shares) dependent on the achievement of TSR hurdles.

  • The award of FY20 LTIP Performance Rights under the LTIP is at the discretion of the Board, acting on the recommendation of the Company’s Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

  • The TSR hurdles/vesting criteria for the Performance Rights are as set out in the table below and are assessed at the end of the three-year period commencing 1 July 2019 ( Performance Period ).

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

Relative TSR 50% Below 60thpercentile 0
60thpercentile 60%
61stto 75thpercentile 61% to 99%
> 76thpercentile and 100%
above
  • The number of granted Performance Rights that vest and become convertible for Shares will depend on the rate of return achieved, with 50% of the LTIP Performance Rights weighted on achievement of Company specific hurdle rates of return (as set out above) ( Absolute Company TSR ) and 50% of the LTIP Performance Rights weighted on the Company’s rate of return relative to the rate of return achieved by a comparative group of 12 ASX listed Australian exploration and production companies with varying market capitalisation ( Relative TSR ). The peer group is reviewed for relevance and amended annually as appropriate.

  • Executive Key Management Personnel are eligible for the FY20 LTIP with the following maximum award opportunity as a percentage of fixed remuneration:

  • Managing Director – 100%

  • CFO & Company Secretary – 60%

  • The 5 trading day volume weighted average price to and including 30 June 2019 will be applied to calculate the number of Performance Rights to be issued at face value.

  • Where a recipient of Performance Rights under FY20 LTIP ceases employment prior to the required vesting conditions being met, the Performance Rights are forfeited unless otherwise determined by the Board. Performance Rights that have already vested automatically expire 90 days after the date of cessation of employment of the recipient unless otherwise determined by the Board.

14

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

In accordance with the above, Managing Director, Mr Nicholls, will be eligible for an award of Performance Rights pursuant to the FY20 LTIP up to a maximum number equal to 100% of Mr Nicholls’ base remuneration of $300,000 calculated at the 5 trading day volume weighted average price up to and including 30 June 2019, with the actual number of Performance Rights (if any) at the discretion of the Board.

5.3 FY19 STIP

Details of the FY19 STIP are as follows:

  • The objective of the FY19 STIP is to link the achievement of the Company’s short term performance objectives with the remuneration received by senior management and employees charged with achieving those measures, and is designed to retain staff over the vesting period of the award.

  • The Company’s performance over the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019 is measured against a Board set scorecard, which is broken into four core components that the Board believes are key to delivering the Company’s strategy over the year. The scorecard for the FY STIP and relative target weightings are as follows:

Measure Weighting Rationale
Safety 20% Managing health and safety performance is a critical business activity.
Key 40% Reliable operations and achieving commercial gas flow rates at the
operational Southern Cooper Basin Gas Project to underpin a reserve booking.
milestones
Exploration 10% Achieving drilling outcomes at West Erregulla
drilling
Cost 20% Working towards efficient operations and execution programs.
Management
Board 10% The Board recognises exceptional performance not covered by the
Discretionary metrics in the scorecard.
  • The performance measures are assigned a base level of performance (minimum score 0% of base remuneration). The FY19 STIP awards performance that exceeds the base level such that the target levels are set to be challenging and the maximum award opportunity is a stretch target and is only expected to be awarded for outstanding delivery.

  • The safety component includes a metric that is only awarded if there are no lost time injuries throughout the year and there is a discretionary component which allows the Board to assign an award for performance not considered in the scorecard.

  • All staff share the same scorecard and there is no individual performance weighting.

  • The award is non-cash and is delivered in the form of Performance Rights.

  • The Performance Rights are granted after the financial year has closed and once the Board has assessed the performance of the Company. The Performance Rights vest on 1 July the following year. Employees maintain the Performance Rights on the condition of remaining in employment with the Company until the vesting date, unless otherwise approved by the Board.

  • The maximum award of Performance Rights that may be granted is:

  • For the Managing Director or a member of senior management – a number equal in value to 50% of the employee’s base remuneration;

  • For other employees – a number equal in value to 10-25% of the employee’s base remuneration.

  • Where a recipient of Performance Rights under the FY19 STIP ceases employment prior to the vesting date, the Performance Rights are forfeited unless otherwise determined by the Board. Performance Rights that have already vested automatically expire 90 days after the date of cessation of employment of the recipient unless otherwise determined by the Board.

15

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

In accordance with the above, Managing Director, Mr Nicholls, will be eligible for an award of Performance Rights pursuant to the FY19 STIP and Resolution 6 seeks approval for up to a maximum number equal to 50% of Mr Nicholls’ base remuneration of $300,000 calculated at the 5 trading day volume weighted average price up to and including 30 June 2019, with the actual number of Performance Rights (if any) to be determined based on the Company’s performance against the above scorecard over the financial year ending 30 June 2019.

5.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Approval of Resolutions 5 and 6 will, if and to the extent Mr Nicholls receives an award of Performance Rights pursuant to the FY19 STIP or FY20 LTIP, 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 of the Company, as Directors are related parties of the Company, and will require Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act (as explained in section 3.2 above) unless an exception to the Shareholder approval requirement applies.

The Board has determined that any grant of Performance Rights to Mr Nicholls pursuant to the FY20 LTIP and/or FY19 STIP, 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 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 Performance Rights proposed to be granted to Mr Nicholls, 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.

5.5 Listing Rule 10.14

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 states that a listed company must not issue, or agree to issue, equity securities (which include ordinary shares and options or performance rights to acquire ordinary shares) to a related party without the approval of ordinary shares, unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies. As noted above, each of the Directors is a related party of the Company.

One of the exceptions to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 (being in Rule 10.12, Exception 4) is that the relevant equity securities are issued under an employee incentive scheme with ordinary shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. As noted above, any Performance Rights awarded to Mr Nicholls will be pursuant to the ESP. Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval to the potential award of Performance Rights to Mr Nicholls under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9(b), the Performance Rights (and Shares issued upon the exercise of the Performance Rights), if and to the extent awarded, will not be counted towards any future calculation of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or, in circumstances where ASX Listing Rule 7.1A applies, of the Company's 10% annual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

5.6 Information required by Listing Rule 10.15

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided.

  • (a) The Performance Rights the subject of Resolutions 5 and 6, if and to the extent granted, will be granted to, or for the benefit of, Managing Director, Mr Nicholls.

  • (b) The maximum number of Performance Rights that may be granted to, or for the benefit of, Mr Nicholls is as follows:

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

(a) Effect of grant of Performance Rights

As at the date of the Notice of Meeting, the Company has the following equity securities on issue. See the Company's Appendix 3B released to ASX on 7 June 2019 for further information.

Assuming Mr Nicholls is eligible to receive a 50% award of Performance Rights pursuant to the FY19 STIP and 100% award Performance Rights pursuant to the FY20 LTIP, and a 5 trading day volume weighted average price up to and including 30 June 2019 equal to the closing share price as at 28 June 2019 of $0.058, the maximum number of Performance Rights that Mr Nicholls could be awarded is:

  • Under the FY19 STIP – 2,586,207 at 50% of Mr Nicholls’ base remuneration of $300,000

  • Under the FY20 LTIP – 5,172,414 at 100% of Mr Nicholls’ base remuneration of $300,000

As an example, if Resolutions 5 and 6 are approved and the maximum number of Performance Rights as specified above are awarded and in turn granted, the Company will have on issue an additional 7,758,621 Performance Rights. If any of those Performance Rights granted to or for the benefit of Mr Nicholls are converted the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders. The possible effect on Shareholders of the issue of up to 7,758,621 Shares on conversion of those Performance Rights, 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) is set out in the final row of the table below.
