Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited 2019 AGM Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
Explanatory Memorandum
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to help Shareholders understand the items of business at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
1 Financial Statements and Reports
The Corporations Act requires that the report of the Directors, the Auditor’s report and the financial report for the Company for the year end 31 December 2018 be laid before the Meeting.
Neither the Corporations Act nor the Company’s Constitution requires a vote of Shareholders at the Meeting on the reports or statements. However, Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to raise questions with respect to these reports at the Meeting.
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Company is not required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy. Shareholders may view the Company's annual report on the Company's website at http://www.telixpharma.com/ or may request a copy from the Company at any time.
A reasonable opportunity will be given to Shareholders 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 and the independence of the Auditor.
2 Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
Under sections 249L and 250R of the Corporations Act, public companies are required to meet disclosure requirements in respect of Director and executive remuneration, and to include a Remuneration Report in the Directors’ report to Shareholders.
The Remuneration Report for the 12 months ended 31 December 2018 commences on page 18 of the 2018 annual report.
The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and will not be binding on the Board or the Company.
Notwithstanding the non-binding nature of the vote, the Board will take note of the outcome of the vote when considering future remuneration matters.
Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against the adoption of the relevant remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings (with a 25% or more vote 'against' commonly referred to as a "first strike" or "second strike"), the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution at the later of those annual general meetings proposing that an extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) be called to consider the election of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ). The Spill Meeting must be held within 90 days of the date of the second annual general meeting. For a Spill Resolution to be passed, more than 50% of the votes cast on the resolution must be in favour of it. If a Spill Resolution is passed, all of the directors (other than any managing director) will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting unless re-elected at that meeting.
At the Company’s 2017 Annual General Meeting, a “first strike” was not recorded in respect of the Remuneration Report. Accordingly, a Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.
Recommendation
The Directors abstain, in the interests of corporate governance, from making a recommendation in relation to this resolution.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

3.1

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director who is appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the entity.
In accordance with Rule 8.1(c) of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, Ms Skinner’s tenure as a Director ends at the conclusion of this Meeting and she offers herself for re-election as a Director at this Meeting.

Jann is a Fellow of both Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand, and the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Ms Skinner serves as Chair of the Audit and Risk Management Committee of the Board.
3.3 Recommendation
The Directors (with Ms Skinner abstaining) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
4 Resolution 3 – Approval of issue of Director Options to Ms Jann Skinner
4.1 Background
The Board has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to allot and issue 495,000 Options ( Director Options ) to Ms Jann Skinner (or her nominee), on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2.
The Director Options are exercisable at $1.09 each at any time from their date of issue up to their expiry on 24 January 2023.
Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, for a public company 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.
12
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited 2019 AGM Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
The issue of Director Options to Ms Skinner (or her nominee) requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because the Director Options constitute giving a financial benefit and, as a Director, Ms Skinner is a related party of the Company.
It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Director Options to Ms Skinner as contemplated by Resolution 3.
4.2 Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E and ASX Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Director Options as contemplated by Resolution 3:
-
(a) the related party is Ms Jann Skinner and she is a related party by virtue of being a Director;
-
(b) the maximum number of Director Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be allocated to the related party is 495,000 Director Options to Ms Skinner (or her nominee);
-
(c) the Director Options will be granted to Ms Skinner no later than 1 month after the date of the Annual General Meeting and it is anticipated that all of the Director Options will be allocated on one date;
-
(d) the Director Options will be issued for nil cash consideration and accordingly no funds will be raised by the issue of the Director Options;

-
(i) the primary purpose of the grant of the Director Options is to provide cost effective consideration to Ms Skinner for agreeing to join the Board and to reward her commitment and contribution to the Company in her role as a Director, whilst allowing the Company to maintain cash reserves for its operations. In addition, the Board (other than Ms Skinner) considers the grant of the Director Options to Ms Skinner to be reasonable, given the necessity to attract high calibre professionals to the Company whilst maintaining the Company's cash reserves;
-
(ii) the Board (other than Ms Skinner) considered the extensive experience and reputation of Ms Skinner, the current market price of Shares, the implied value of the Director Options, current market practices and the prior grants of options to Directors when determining the number and exercise price of the Director Options to be issued under Resolution 3. Relevantly, the exercise price of the Director Options is $1.09, which is approximately 44% more than the closing price of the Shares of $0.71 on 18 March 2019;
-
(iii) the Board (other than Ms Skinner) does not consider there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company in issuing the Director Options to Ms Skinner (or her nominee); and
-
(iv) commentary relating to ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendation Policy 8.2 states (inter alia) that non-executive directors should normally be remunerated by way of fees in the form of cash, non-cash benefits, superannuation contributions or salary sacrifice into equity and that it is generally acceptable for non-executive directors to receive securities as part of their remuneration to align their interests with the interests of other security holders. The Board (other than Ms Skinner) considers the issue of Director Options to Ms Skinner is an effective method available to Shareholders to consider in remunerating Ms Skinner as opposed to a cash payment, given the Company’s cash position and the development of the Company’s technology. Shareholders should consider the above matters carefully before deciding how to vote on Resolution 3.

4.3 Recommendation
Ms Skinner declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 3 due to her material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 3, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
5 Resolution 4 – Adoption of Telix Equity Incentive Plan
5.1 Background
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled Telix Equity Incentive Plan ( Telix Equity Incentive Plan ) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 9(b)) sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue a limited number of securities under the Telix Equity Incentive Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.
The objective of the Telix Equity Incentive Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Incentive Plan and the future issue of securities under the Telix Equity Incentive Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
Any future issues of securities under the Incentive Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
5.2 Information required by the ASX Listing Rules
A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Telix Equity Incentive Plan is set out in Schedule 1. In addition, a copy of the Telix Equity Incentive Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Telix Equity Incentive Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
The Telix Equity Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board on 31 August 2017, but has not been approved by Shareholders. The Company has previously issued 9,800,000 unlisted Options under the Telix Equity Incentive Plan.
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5.3 Recommendation
The Directors abstain, in the interests of corporate governance, from making a recommendation in relation to this Resolution.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
6 Resolution 5 – Approval of issue of Incentive Options to Dr Christian Behrenbruch
6.1 Background
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company must not permit a director to acquire shares under an employee incentive scheme without the prior approval of holders of ordinary securities.
Resolution 5 seeks approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 to issue 400,000 Options ( Incentive Options ) to Dr Christian Behrenbruch (or his nominee) under the Telix Equity Incentive Plan on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2.
The Incentive Options are exercisable at $1.09 each at any time from their date of issue up to their expiry on 24 January 2023.
Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, for a public company 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.
It is the view of the Directors (other than Dr Behrenbruch) that the exception set out in section 211(1) (allowing the giving of a financial benefit that is reasonable remuneration) applies in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Incentive Options to Dr Behrenbruch under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 as contemplated by Resolution 5, but not under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
6.2 Further details of Incentive Options
As part of the financial year 2018 remuneration review an offer of 400,000 unlisted share options was made to Dr Behrenbruch as a tool to both incentivise and retain. The offer was made subject to Shareholder approval.
The Incentive Options offered have a four-year term, with an expiry date of 24 January 2023. The exercise price of $1.09 per Incentive Option is a 44% premium to the five-day volume weighted average closing price prior to the day of offer ($0.7561). Options remain unvested for a three-year period, and ‘cliff vest’ on 24 January 2022.
The Company considers that this grant of Incentive Options allows the Company to maintain cash reserves for its operations whilst rewarding the CEO for his commitment, achievements and ongoing contribution to the Company.
If the Incentive Options granted to Dr Behrenbruch are exercised for cash, a total of 400,000 Shares would be allotted and issued for total consideration received by the Company of $436,000. This would increase the number of Shares on issue from 218,365,836 to 218,765,836 (assuming that no other options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 0.19%.
17
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited 2019 AGM Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
6.3 Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Incentive Options as contemplated by Resolution 5:

(a) the related party is Dr Christian Behrenbruch and he is a related party by virtue of being a Director;
-
(b) the maximum number of Incentive Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be allocated to Dr Behrenbruch (or his nominee) is 400,000 Incentive Options;
-
(c) the Incentive Options will be issued for nil cash consideration and accordingly no funds will be raised by the issue of the Incentive Options. The exercise price of each of the Incentive Options is $1.09;
-
(d) no Directors have received securities under the Telix Equity Incentive Plan to date;
-
(e) the people referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who are eligible to participate in the Telix Equity Incentive Plan are all of the Directors. However, at present, Shareholder approval is only sought in relation to the issue of the Incentive Options to Dr Christian Behrenbruch under the Telix Equity Incentive Plan as described in this Notice. Shareholder approval will be sought prior to the issue of any other securities to Directors under the Telix Equity Incentive Plan;
-
(f) a voting exclusion statement in relation to Resolution 5 is included in the Notice;
-
(g) there is no loan associated with the grant of the Incentive Options;
-
(h) the Incentive Options will be granted to Dr Behrenbruch no later than 1 month after the date of the Annual General Meeting and it is anticipated the Incentive Options will be allocated on one date;
-
(i) Shares issued on exercise of the Incentive Options will rank equally with fully paid ordinary shares; and
-
(j) the Incentive Options will be issued on the terms set out in Schedule 2.
6.4 Recommendation
Dr Behrenbruch declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. The other Directors, who do not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 5, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5. The Board is not aware of any other information that would reasonably be required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 5.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 5.
7 Resolution 6 – Approval of remuneration of Non-Executive Directors
7.1 Non-Executive Director remuneration
In accordance with Rule 8.3(a) of the Constitution and rule 10.17 of the ASX Listing Rules, the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is determined from time to time by the Company in General Meeting. The last determination for the Company was made at the General Meeting of Shareholders held on 13 October 2017. At that Meeting, Shareholders approved an aggregate annual remuneration pool for Non-Executive Directors of $400,000. The total NonExecutive Director remuneration of Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited for the year period ended 31 December 2018 utilised $294,281 of this authorised amount.
18
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited 2019 AGM Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval to set the maximum aggregate remuneration payable to Non-Executive Directors at $500,000 per annum representing an increase of $100,000.
The remuneration from the Company to the Non-Executive Directors and their associates (for their roles as Directors) for the past financial year and the proposed remuneration for the current financial year are as set out in paragraph 4.2(i) above. The Company does not propose to increase the amount paid to individual Non-Executive Directors in the current financial year. Rather, the Company’s reason for seeking an increase to the remuneration pool is due to the appointment of an additional Non-Executive Director (Ms Skinner), and the potential appointment of additional Non-Executive Directors.
The Board believes that the remuneration of the Directors must be maintained at a level consistent with similarly sized ASX-listed companies, taking into account the time commitment of the role and Company performance. The increase in the aggregate remuneration pool sought by Resolution 6 is designed to:
-
(a) accommodate the increase in the number of Non-Executive Directors and a potential increase in the future; and
-
(b) allow for future increases in remuneration to current or future Non-Executive Directors, should this be considered appropriate.
The Company has not issued any securities to any Non-Executive Director under either of ASX Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 within the preceding 3 years.
Resolution 6, if passed, will ensure the Company has adequate flexibility to increase the size of the Board or the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors, as and when the business of the Company requires.
7.2 Recommendation
The Directors abstain, in the interests of corporate governance, from making a recommendation in relation to this resolution.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 6.
8 Resolution 7 – Ratification of issue of Shares in connection with acquisition of Atlab

11 Resolution 10 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with
22
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited 2019 AGM Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (available on the ASX website at www.asx.com.au).
11.1 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek approval of holders of its ordinary securities by special resolution (which requires 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative)) at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities equivalent to an additional 10% of the number of ordinary securities on issue over a period of 12 months after the annual general meeting (“ 10% Placement Facility ").
The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
The exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 7.2, also apply to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
11.2 Further requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained (which, in the case of Resolution 10 will be 22 May 2020); or
-
the date of the approval by holders of ordinary securities of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking), or such longer period if allowed by ASX,
(“ 10% Placement Period” ).
Class of Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. The Company, as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, has only one quoted class of Equity Security, being Shares.
Issue price of Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A3
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in the paragraph above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,
(the “ Minimum Price ”).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A4
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4 requires the Company to give to ASX the information required by ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A when it issues Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
23
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited 2019 AGM Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
11.3 Effect of Resolution 10
The effect of Resolution 10 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 10 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
While the Company does not have any immediate plans to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, purposes for which Equity Securities may be issued pursuant to Resolution 10 may include the raising of capital to expedite the development of the Company’s projects or the acquisition of assets.
11.4 Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 10:
Minimum Price
The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than the Minimum Price (defined above).
Dilution
Shareholders should be aware that there is a risk of economic and voting dilution that may result from an issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, including the risk that:
-
the market price for Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the meeting where approval is sought (i.e. the date of this Meeting); and
-
the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the date of issue.
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Equity Securities under the issue.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 on the basis of the market price of Shares (as at close of trade on 22 February 2019 (“ Issue Price ”) and the current number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
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 10% Placement Facility.

| Number of Shares on issue: Variable "A" in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |

| Funds raised | $16,049,889 | $32,099,778 | $64,199,555 |
The table also shows two examples of where:
-
two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval, for example, a pro rata entitlement offer or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the Issue Price.
The table above has been prepared on the following additional assumptions:
-
the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the 10% Placement Facility; and
-
the table shows only the effect of issues of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Placement Period
If Shareholder approval is granted for Resolution 10, that approval will expire at the end of the 10% Placement Period.
The approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or ASX Listing Rule 11.2.
Purpose
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
25
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited 2019 AGM Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum
-
as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
-
for cash consideration, in order to raise funds for the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisitions), to expedite development of the Company’s projects and for general working capital.
Allocation
The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility have not yet been determined. However the allottees could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both).
The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to a range of factors including:
-

Schedule 1 – Summary of terms of Telix Equity Incentive Plan
The key terms of the Telix Equity Incentive Plan are as follows:
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | Offers may be made at the Board’s discretion to employees of the Company (including the Executive Directors) and any other person that the Board determines to be eligible to receive a grant under the Plan. |
| Types of securities | The Plan Rules provide flexibility for the Company to grant one or more of the following securities as incentives, subject to the terms of individual offers: • performance rights, which are an entitlement to receive Shares upon satisfaction of applicable conditions; • options, which are an entitlement to receive Shares upon satisfaction of applicable conditions and payment of the applicable exercise price; and • restricted shares, which are Shares that are subject to dealing restrictions, vesting conditions or other restrictions or conditions. |
| Offers under the Plan | The Board may make offers at its discretion and any offer documents must contain the information required by the Plan Rules. The Board has the discretion to set the terms and conditions on which it will offer performance rights, options and restricted shares in individual offer documents. Offers must be accepted by the employee and can be made on an opt-in or opt-out basis. |
| Plan limit | Where an offer is made in reliance on ASIC Class Order 14/1000, the total number of Shares issued (or in the case of performance rights and options, the total number of Shares which would be issued if those performance rights or options were exercised) must not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue. |
| Issue price | Unless the Board determines otherwise, no payment is required for a grant of a performance right, option or restricted share under the Plan. |
| Vesting | Vesting of performance rights, options and restricted shares under the Plan is subject to any vesting or performance conditions determined by the Board and specified in the offer document. Options must be exercised by the employee and the employee is required to pay the exercise price before Shares are allocated. Subject to the Plan Rules and the terms of the specific offer document, any performance rights, options or restricted shares will either lapse or be forfeited if the relevant vesting and performance conditions are not satisfied. |
| Cessation of employment |
Under the Plan Rules, the Board has a broad discretion in relation to the treatment of entitlements on cessation of employment. It is intended that individual offer documents will provide more specific information on how the entitlements will be treated if the participating employee ceases employment. |
| Clawback and preventing inappropriate benefits |
The Plan Rules provide the Board with broad “clawback” powers if, for example, the participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly or there is a material financial misstatement. |

| Reconstructions and corporate actions |
The Plan Rules include specific provisions dealing with rights issues, bonus issues and corporate actions and other capital reconstructions. These provisions are intended to ensure that there is no material advantage or disadvantage to the participant in respect of their incentives as a result of such corporate actions. |
| Restrictions on dealing |
Prior to vesting, the Plan Rules provide that participants must not sell, transfer, encumber, hedge or otherwise deal with their incentives. After vesting, participants will be free to deal with their incentives, subject to the Securities Dealing Policy. |

-
(a) The Options are exercisable at a price of $1.09 each (“ Exercise Price ”) at any time from the date of issue of the Options up to the expiry of the Options on 24 January 2023 (“ Option Exercise Period ”), but not thereafter.

-
(d) The Company will maintain a register of holders of Options in accordance with section 168(1)(b) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

-
(g) An Option holder is not entitled to participate in any new issue of securities to existing shareholders unless the Option holder has exercised its Options before the record date for determining entitlements to the new issue of securities and participates as a result of holding Shares.
-
(h) If listed, the Company must give an Option holder, in accordance with the Listing Rules, notice of:
-
(i) the proposed terms of the issue or offer proposed under paragraph (g); and
-
(ii) the right to exercise the Option holder's Options under paragraph (g).
-
(i) If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to shareholders (except an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) and no Share has been issued in respect of an Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, then the number of underlying Shares over which the Option is exercisable is increased by the number of Shares which the Option holder would have received if the option holder had exercised the Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, in accordance with the Listing Rules.
-
(j) If the Company makes a pro rata issue of Shares (except a bonus issue) to existing shareholders (except an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) and no Share has been issued in respect of the Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, the exercise price of each Option is reduced in accordance with the Listing Rules.
-

-
(q) Options will be deemed to be exercised on the date that the Notice of Exercise of Option Form is received by the Company in accordance with paragraphs (n) and (o) and, if applicable, cleared funds are received by the Company. The Company shall within 10 days after the receipt of such Notice and cleared funds, issue Shares in respect of the Options exercised and dispatch a shareholder statement to the holder.
