5. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

5.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

5.2

Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.

6. Resolution 2 – Re-Election of Director – Mr Lee Christensen

6.1 General

Rule 9.3 of the Company’s Constitution requires that one third of the Company’s directors must retire at each annual general meeting. Accordingly, Mr Christensen retires by rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders entitled to vote.

6.2

Qualifications

Mr Christensen is a senior lawyer in Perth, specialising in dispute resolution, insolvency and restructures. He has many years of commercial litigation and insolvency law experience having acted in major insolvencies in Western Australia. His in-depth understanding and proven application of Insolvency issues sees him regularly advising external administrators, trustees, creditors and bankrupts on all of its ramifications.

6.3 Board recommendation

The Directors (excluding Mr Christensen) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

7. Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity

7.1 General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes. As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an ‘eligible entity’ as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval. For a special resolution to be passed, at least 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and entitled to vote on the resolution must be in favour of the Resolution.

7.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

7.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:

(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid

The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or

  • (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).

(b) Minimum Price

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in Section 4.3(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate

The Company may only seek to issue the Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for cash consideration. The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate towards:

  • (i) the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition);

  • (ii) continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets/or projects;

  • (iii) the development of the Company’s current business; and

  • (iv) general working capital.

  • (d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 14 October 2022.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 1,406,397,846 Shares on issue.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of Shares as at 14 October 2022.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

  4. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is

assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  1. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  2. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.

  3. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  4. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 23 November 2021 ( Previous Approval ).

During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 23 November 2021, the Company issued a total of 124,944,491 Shares pursuant to the Previous Approval, with such Shares issued pursuant to the Placement, which represents approximately 10.00% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at 23 November 2021. Refer to Section 4.2 for further details on the Placement.

Details of the issue of Equity Securities by the Company under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 2.

(g) Voting Exclusion Statement

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.

8. Resolutions 4 to 6 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares to Bulk Commodity under Listing Rule 7.1 capacity

8.1 General

The background to the issue of Shares to Bulk Commodity in connection with the Subscription Agreement is set out in Section 4.1.

8.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12-month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which shareholders approve the 10% placement facility. The 10% placement facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

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 (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 or the additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A). 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 issue of the Shares to Bulk Commodity does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. While the issue of the Shares does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching the rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. To do this, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval of the issue of the Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Accordingly, Resolutions 4 to 6 seek Shareholder ratification of the issue of a total of 19,089,286 Shares (which were issued pursuant to the Company's 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

8.3

Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 4 to 6 are passed, the issue of the Shares to Bulk Commodity 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 date of issue of the Shares.

If Resolutions 4 to 6 are not passed, the issue of Shares to Bulk Commodity 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 date of issue of the Shares.

Resolutions 4 to 6 are ordinary resolutions.

8.4 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) A total of 19,089,286 Shares were issued to Bulk Commodity pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, comprising the Fee Shares, the Initial Placement Shares and the Settlement Shares. Ratification of the issue of these Shares is being sought pursuant to Resolutions 4, 5 and 6, respectively.

  • (b) The Fee Shares, the Initial Placement Shares and the Settlement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.

  • (c) The Shares were issued for the following consideration:

  • (i) The Fee Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.014 in satisfaction of the Subscription Fee.

  • (ii) The Initial Placement Shares were issued in consideration for the Bulk Commodity’s Agreement to make the Initial Investment (to be applied, at Bulk Commodity’s election, towards Shares which are required to be issued by the Company in respect of the exercise of Bulk Commodity’s right to subscribe for Shares in relation to the subscriptions to be made pursuant to the Subscription Agreement).

  • (iii) The Settlement Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.012 in part satisfaction of the Company’s outstanding obligations under the Subscription Agreement.

  • (d) The funds raised by the issue of Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreement were used to fund ongoing and next phase progress on the Company’s Mannar Island Project, as well as for general working capital requirements.

  • (e) The material terms of the Subscription Agreement are set out in Section 4.1.

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

9. Resolutions 7 and 8 – Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares

9.1 General

The background to the Placement and the issue of the Placement Shares is set out in Section 4.2.

A summary of Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4 are provided in Section 8.2.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. Accordingly, Resolutions 7 and 8 seeks Shareholder ratification of the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

9.2 Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 7 and 8 are passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 7 and 8 are not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

Resolutions 7 and 8 are ordinary resolutions.

9.3 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (c) The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.

  • (d)

  • (e) The Placement raised a total of $1,511,000 (before costs). The funds raised from the issue of the Placement Shares will be primarily used to fund ongoing and next phase progress on the Company’s Mannar Island Project, as well as for general working capital requirements.

  • (f) The Placement Shares were not issued pursuant to an agreement.

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

13. Resolution 9 – Approval to grant Placement Options

The grant of the Placement Options therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is in Section 8.2.

Resolution 9 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the grant of the Placement Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the grant of the Placement Options to the Placement Participants. In addition, the grant of the Placement Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 9 is not passed, then the Company will not be able to proceed with the grant of the Placement Options to the Placement Participants.

15. Resolution 11 – Adoption of Employee Incentives Securities Plan

15.1 General

The Company considers that it is desirable to establish a securities incentive plan pursuant to which the Company can issue Securities to eligible Directors, employees and consultants in order to attract, motivate and retain such persons and to provide them with an incentive to deliver growth and value to all Shareholders.

Accordingly, Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the Employee Incentive Securities Plan ( Plan ) in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13. The terms of the Plan are consistent with the new Division 1A in Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act introduced by the Treasury Laws Amendment (Cost of Living Support and Other Measures) Act 2022 , which takes effect from 1 October 2022.

Under the Plan, the Board may offer to eligible persons the opportunity to subscribe for such number of Securities in the Company as the Board may decide and on the terms set out in the rules of the Plan, a summary of which is set out in Schedule 1.

In addition, a copy of the Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the 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.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided in Section 8.2.

Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 by which equity securities issued under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of three years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of equity securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of three 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.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to adopt the Plan and, instead, any issues of Securities will be made either with Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A or, in default of Shareholder approval, pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under either or both Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

No Securities have been issued under the current Plan as it is a new employee incentive plan and has not previously been approved by Shareholders.

The maximum number of Securities that the Company proposes to issue under the Plan following Shareholder approval of the adoption of the Plan is 70,319,892 Securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

Prior Shareholder approval will be required under Listing Rule 10.14 before any Director or associate of a Director can participate in the Plan.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, Shareholders must re-approve the Plan and all unissued Securities issuable pursuant thereto every three years.

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

Resolution 11 is an ordinary resolution.

SCHEDULE 3 – SUMMARY OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SECURITIES PLAN

Summary of the Plan and terms on which offers may be made:

2. Eligible Participant

"Eligible Participant" means an employee or officer of, or a person who provides services to, the Company or an associated body corporate of the Company, or such other person who has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.

The Company will seek Shareholder approval for Director and their associates participation in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

3. Purpose

The purpose of the Plan is to:

  • (a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;

  • (b) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and

  • (c) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.

4. Plan administration

The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.

5.

Eligibility, invitation and application

The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.

If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may subject to compliance with applicable law and by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

6.

Grant of Securities

The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

7.

Terms of Convertible Securities

Each "Convertible Security" represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them unless otherwise determined by the Board. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

8. Vesting of Convertible Securities

Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.

9. Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise

To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Security (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice or otherwise by the method specified in the invitation.

An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

10. Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities

In accordance with the method and timing specified in the invitation or otherwise as soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.

11. Forfeiture of Convertible Securities

Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly; committed an act which has brought the Company, the Group or any entity within the Group into disrepute, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group or where a Participant is convicted of an offence in connection with the affairs of the Group; or has a judgment entered against him or her in any civil proceedings in respect of the contravention by the Participant of his or her duties at law, in equity or under statute, in his or her capacity as an employee, consultant or officer of the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:

  • (a) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and

  • (b) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation or vesting notice.

12. Change of control

If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event provided that, in respect of Convertible Securities, the maximum number of Convertible Securities (that have not yet been exercised) that the Board may determine will vest and be exercisable into Shares under this Rule is that number of Convertible Securities that is equal to 10% of the Shares on issue immediately following vesting under this Rule, which as far as practicable will be allocated between holders on a pro-rata basis on the basis of their holdings of Convertible Securities on the date of determination of vesting.

13. Rights attaching to Plan Shares

All Shares issued or transferred under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, (Plan Shares) will rank equally in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any

dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.

14. Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares

If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.

For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:

  • (a) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or

  • (b) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.

15. Adjustment of Convertible Securities

If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

16. Participation in new issues

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.

17. Compliance with applicable law

No Security may be offered, grated, vested or exercised if to do so would contravene any applicable law. In particular, the Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an invitation, that the total number of Plan Shares that may be issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities offer when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made at any time during the previous three year period under:

  • (a) an employee incentive scheme of the Company covered by Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act; or

  • (b) an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme,

  • (c) but disregarding any offer made or securities issued in the capital of the Company by way of or as a result of:

  • (i) an offer for no monetary consideration;

  • (ii) an offer to a person situated at the time of receipt of the offer outside Australia;

  • (iii) an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act (exempts the requirement for a disclosure document for the issue of securities in certain circumstances to investors who are deemed to have sufficient investment knowledge to make informed decisions, including professional investors, sophisticated investors and senior managers of the Company); or

  • (iv) an offer made under a disclosure document,

would not exceed 5% (or such other maximum permitted under any applicable law) of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the invitation.

18. Maximum number of Securities

The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan if the number of Plan Shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered under an invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of all invitations under the Plan, will exceed 15% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of the invitation.

19. Amendment of Plan

Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.

20. Plan duration

The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.

If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.

21. Income Tax Assessment Act

The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act).
