If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in 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.
8.2
Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Is the Company an eligible entity?
An eligible entity for the purposes of 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 as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of approximately $22.58million, based on the closing price of Shares on 14 October 2021.
If on the date of the Meeting, the Company's market capitalisation exceeds $300 million or it has been included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index, this Resolution 5 will no longer be effective and will be withdrawn.
(b) What Equity Securities can be issued?
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the eligible entity.
As at the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities; Shares.
(c) How many Equity Securities can be issued?
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that under the approved 10% Placement Capacity, the Company may issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(A) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months:
-
(1) under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (other than exception 9, 16 or 17);
-
(2) on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the 12 month period; or
-
the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
-
(3) under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
the agreement was entered into before the 12 month period; or
-
the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to be approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4; and
-
-
(4) with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. This does not include any issue of Shares under the Company's 15% annual placement capacity without Shareholder approval;
-
-
(B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months; and
-
(C) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that 'A' has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.
D is 10%.
-
E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
-
(d)
What is the interaction with Listing Rule 7.1?
The Company's ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will be in addition to its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
- (e)
At what price can the Equity Securities be issued?
Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same 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 Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,
( Minimum Issue Price ).
(f)
When can Equity Securities be issued?
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A will be valid from the date of Meeting and will expire on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; or
-
(iii) the time and date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
( 10% Placement Period ).
(g) What is the effect of Resolution 5?
The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
8.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the 10% Placement Capacity:
(a) Final date for issue
The Company will only issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 8.2(f) above).
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Capacity will cease to be valid if Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
(b) Minimum issue price
Where the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, it will only do so for cash consideration and the issue price will be not less than the Minimum Issue Price (refer to Section 8.2(e) above).
(c) Purposes of issues under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for cash consideration in order to raise funds for continued investment in the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), and/or for general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3 upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(d)
Risk of economic and voting dilution
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting power in the Company may be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares).
The below table shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders based on the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Section 8.2(c)) as at the date of the Notice ( Variable A ), with:
-
(iii) two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%; and
-
(iv) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.
| Number of Shares on Issue |
Dilution | Dilution | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Shares issued under 10% Placement Capacity |
Funds raised based on issue price of $0.011 (50% decrease in issue price) |
Funds raised based on issue price of $0.021 (issue price) |
Funds raised based on issue price of $0.042 (100% increase in issue price) |
|
| 1,075,308,936 (Current) |
107,530,894 | $1,129,074 | $2,258,149 | $4,516,296 |
| 1,612,963,404 (50% increase) |
161,296,340 | $1,693,612 | $3,387,223 | $6,774,446 |
| 2,150,617,872 (100% increase) |
215,061,787 | $2,258,149 | $4,516,298 | $9,032,595 |
Notes:
-
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(a) The issue price is the current market price ($0.021), being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 14 October 2021, being the latest practicable date before this Notice was signed.
-
(b) Variable A is 1,075,308,936 comprising the number of Shares currently on issue. This assumes that the Company has not issued any Shares in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4.
-
(c) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
(d) No convertible securities are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(e) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. 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.
-
The number of Shares on issue (ie Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.
-
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%.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
(e)
Allocation policy
The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new projects, assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity will be the vendors of the new projects, assets or investments.
(f)
Issues in the past 12 months
The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 27 November 2020.
In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued or agreed to issue the following Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
| Date of issue/ agreement to issue |
Type of Equity Securities |
Number issued/ agreed to be issued |
Summary of Terms of Equity Securities |
Recipient of Equity Securities (or bash they were identified or selected) |
Issue Price and discount to closing market price on date of issue/ agreement to issue (ifany) |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 February 2021 |
Fully paid ordinary Shares which rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary Shares on issue. |

$0.021, representing a discount of 21.36% of the closing market price on the date of agreement to issue. |
Approximately $1.1 million (net of costs). Amount that has been spent: $850,000 Amount outstanding: $250,000 The consideration received has been or is intended to be applied towards: • the cash consideration payable to Key Petroleum Limited pursuant to the Company's proposed acquisition announced on 29 January 2021; • the work program for Mt Horner and Exploration Permit 437; and • general working capital. |
It is noted that Shareholders ratified the above issue at the general meeting held on 28 July 2021.
8.4 Voting exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 5.
However, in the event that between the date of the Notice and the date of the Meeting, the Company proposes to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A to one or more existing Shareholders, those Shareholders' votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.
8.5
Additional information
Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders eligible to vote.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
9. Resolution 6 – Approval to issue Performance Rights to Robert Towner
9.1 General
The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to 7,329,918 Performance Rights to Robert Towner (or his nominees) as part of his remuneration as Managing Director of the Company.
The Board considers that the issue of Performance Rights is an effective way to align the efforts of the Managing Director in seeking to create value for Shareholders. The Board also believes that incentivising with Performance Rights is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves, while allowing the Company to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.
The Performance Rights are to be issued under the Company's Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ), which was annexed to the Company's 2020 notice of annual general meeting, announced on ASX on 26 October 2020 and is also annexed to this Notice. The Performance Rights are proposed to be issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of up to 7,329,918 Performance Rights under the Plan to Robert Towner (or his nominees).
9.2
Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 requires Shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to:
-
(a) a director of the entity;
-
(b)
-
an associate of the director; or
-
(c) a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
As Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rules 7.1 or 10.11 is not required. Accordingly, the issue of the Performance Rights will not be included in the use of the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to Robert Towner (or his nominees).
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to Robert Towner (or his nominees) and the Company will consider other forms of performance-based remuneration, which may include the payment of cash.
9.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Performance Rights:
-
(a) The Performance Rights will be issued to Robert Towner (or his nominees).
-
(b) Robert Towner is the Managing Director of the Company and falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1. In the event the Performance Rights are issued to a
nominee of a Director, that person will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.2.
-
(c) Up to 7,329,918 Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to Robert Towner (or his nominees).
-
(d) Robert Towner's current total remuneration package (inclusive of superannuation) is $383,249 (excluding long service leave and the value of existing incentive securities).
-
(e) 28,784,935 Performance Rights have previously been issued to Robert Towner (or his nominees) under the Plan. The acquisition price paid for the Performance Rights was nil.
-
(f) The Performance Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2 and the Plan annexed to the Notice.
-
(g) The Board considers that Performance Rights, rather than Shares are an appropriate form of incentive because they reward Robert Towner for achievement of financial and non-financial business objectives.
-
(h) The value attributed by the Company to the Performance Rights is $163,855. This valuation is calculated based on the assumptions that the Target vesting conditions are satisfied, and based on the Share price of $0.02235 being the 10-day VWAP ending 1 July 2021, being the commencement of the relevant measurement period.
-
(i) The Performance Rights are intended to be issued as soon as practicable following the receipt of approval at the Meeting and in any event, will be issued no later than three years after the date of the Meeting if the required approval is received.
-
(j) The Performance Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration as they will be issued as part of Robert Towner's remuneration package.
-
(k) A copy of the Plan is annexed to the Notice.
-
(l) No loan will be provided to Robert Towner in relation to the issue of the Performance Rights.
-
(m) Details of any Securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.
-
(n) Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after this Resolution is approved and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.
-
(o) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
9.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
- (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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 in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of the Performance Rights will result in the giving of a financial benefit and Robert Towner is a related party of the Company by virtue of being the Managing Director.
The Board (excluding Mr Towner) has formed the view that the issue of Performance Rights does not require Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act, as the issue of Performance Rights constitutes ‘reasonable remuneration’ in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act. In coming to this view, the Board considered the advice of an external remuneration consultant, as well as the position and responsibilities of Mr Towner as Managing Director and the need for the Company to effectively incentivise its Directors while aligning the incentive with increasing Shareholder value and the desirability of preserving cash resources within the Company.
9.5 Additional Information
Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board (other than Robert Towner, who has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 6) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

||||
| Measurement of vesting |
The vesting of the Rights will be measured by the Board in accordance with the Plan and the scale described below: |
|||
| Tranche 1: Absolute Total Shareholder Return (ATSR) | ||||
| % vesting | Performance* | |||
| 100% | Stretch:The CAGR of the aTSR achieved is 25% or more | |||

||
| Term | The Rights will have a term of 15 years and if not exercised within the term the Rights will lapse. |
|
| Conversion | Once vested, each Performance Right will, at the election of the holder, convert into one Share. The holder will be entitled to give notice to the Company Secretary in writing that the relevant Performance Rights have vested and, provided that the holder remains employed by the Company at the time of giving such notice, the Company shall, unless otherwise directed by the holder, issue the associated number of Shares within 5 Business Days of receipt of such notice. |

| Consideration | The Performance Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration and no consideration will be payable upon the conversion of the Performance Rights. |
|
| Share ranking | All Shares issued upon the conversion of the Performance Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other Shares, |
|
| Quotation of Shares on ASX |
The Performance Rights will not be quoted on ASX. Upon conversion of the Performance Rights into Shares, the Company will apply for quotation of all |
| Shares issued upon conversion of the Performance Rights within the period required by ASX. |
|
|---|---|
| Dividend and Voting Rights |
A Performance Right does not confer upon the holder an entitlement to notice of, or to vote or attend at, a meeting of the Shareholders of the Company or receive dividends declared by the Company. |
| Share Buy- back / Capital Return |
In the event that there is a share buy-back or capital return to Shareholders undertaken by the Company which has a material impact on the Company’s market capitalisation and upon the achievability of the performance criteria in respect of the Performance Rights, set out in paragraph 1 above, the parties will agree on a pro rata adjustment of the market capitalisation targets required to be met as part of the performance criteria. Any such changes to the performance criteria of the Performance Rights will be subject to Shareholder approval and any other restrictions imposed by ASX. The Performance Rights do not confer any right to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction in capital or otherwise. |
| Participation in new issues |
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Performance Rights and holder will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Performance Rights. |
| Reorganisation of capital |
If, at any time, the issued capital of the Company is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), all rights of the holder of the Performance Rights are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reorganisation. |
| Change in Control Event |
Notwithstanding any other provision of these terms and conditions, if a Change in Control Event (as defined in the Plan) occurs, the Performance Rights will be deemed to have vested and must be converted into Shares within 5 Business Days of the Change in Control Event occurring. |
| Plan terms | The Performance Rights are issued pursuant to and are subject to the Plan. In the event of conflict between a provision of these terms and conditions and the Plan, these terms and conditions prevail to the extent of that conflict. |

Cover notes regarding this Plan (not to be taken as part of the Rules):
-
It is based on “indeterminate” Rights which may be settled in cash (a kind of derivative), therefore the Rights are not considered “securities” by ASIC and Corporations Act s708 disclosure relief is not available. ASIC Class Order 14/1000 must be relied upon, and the Company must notify ASIC when it first relies upon it in relation to this plan,
-
The Rights are exercised automatically (also excludes the Rights from meeting the requirements of a “security”) upon vesting so as to minimise administration,
-
NEDs are excluded from Participation,
-
In response to the receipt of an Invitation, a potential Participant will make an Application to receive Rights, which is subject to Board consideration and approval, such that all grants may be made on the same date after Applications are received,
-
Both on-market purchases, and new issues of Shares, may be used to settle Rights on exercise,
-
Continued service for the whole of the Measurement Period is not a default requirement. However, malus/clawback/Good Behaviour Bond features apply at all times, including following cessation of employment (addresses joining a competitor),
-
An Exercise Price can be specified for a Right to create an option type instrument, however it will be a cashless exercise option or share appreciation right, which is less dilutive and simpler to exercise,
-
If grants are to be made to a director, and shareholder approval is not obtained, the Plan specifies on-market purchases will apply when exercised Rights are settled in Restricted Shares/Shares, so as to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules,
-
Major transactions are addressed including change of control, major return of capital, demerger and delisting,
-
Exercise Restrictions can be attached to Rights to defer the earliest exercise point following vesting (a form of deferral),
-
Specified Disposal Restrictions can be attached to Shares that result from exercise (another form of deferral),
-
The plan is designed not to give rise to a termination benefit, by default, by avoiding vesting triggered by termination, though this may be overridden by discretion to vest at any time, and
-
• Due to the use of indeterminate Rights, Australian Participants are unlikely to be subject to a requirement to pay tax on the market value of a Share at the date of termination until Rights have been exercised,
-
The Rights Plan can be used for a range of purposes, including but not limited to:
-
Long Term Variable Remuneration using Performance Rights,
-
Retention grants to employees below the senior executive level using Service Rights, or
-
Deferring Short Term Variable Remuneration using Service Rights or Restricted Rights.

8 Participants
-
8.1 Eligible Persons whose Applications have been accepted and have been granted Rights will be referred to as Participants in the Plan.

10 Measurement Periods
-
10.1 The Measurement Period applicable to each Tranche of Performance Rights will be three years unless otherwise specified in the Invitation. The Measurement Periods for Performance Rights will relate to periods when performance conditions must be satisfied for them to vest, subject to early vesting under Rules 12, 26, 27 and 28.
-
10.2 The Measurement Period applicable to each Tranche of Service Rights will be specified in the Invitation. The Measurement Periods for Service Rights will relate to periods when service conditions must be satisfied for them to vest, subject to early vesting under Rules 14, 26, 27 and 28.

10.3 Measurement Periods for grants of Performance and Service Rights will commence on the first day of the financial year in which the grant is made unless otherwise determined by the Board and specified in the Invitation.
11 Vesting Conditions
-
11.1 Vesting Conditions may relate to:

a) performance of the Company or an aspect of the Company’s operations or the performance of the Participant, or
-
b) continued service of the Participant with the Group, or
-
c) any combination of the foregoing determined by the Board for each Tranche.
-
11.2 Vesting Conditions, if applicable, must be specified in the Invitation, along with the relationship between various potential levels of performance and levels of vesting that may occur.
-
11.3 Performance conditions may vary between different Invitations and between different Tranches of Rights specified in an Invitation.
12 Vesting of Performance Rights
-
12.1 Following the end of the Measurement Period, the Board will determine for each Tranche of Performance Rights to which the Measurement Period applies, and which have not previously lapsed or vested, the extent to which it has vested, if at all, and notify Participants in a Vesting Notice of both the extent of vesting and the Vesting Date.
-
12.2 Prior to the end of a Measurement Period the Board may determine that some or all of the Performance Rights held by a Participant will vest in which case the Board will notify Participants in a Vesting Notice of both the extent of vesting and the Vesting Date. In such
3
Drafted by GRG 2019
circumstances the Board also has absolute discretion to determine that Exercise Restrictions (if any) are lifted, and that any remaining unvested Performance Rights will be forfeited in which case the Board shall notify Participants in writing, in a form determined by the Board in its absolute discretion.
13 Board Discretion Regarding Vesting of Performance Rights
-
13.1 The Board retains discretion to increase or decrease, including to nil, the extent of vesting in relation to each Tranche of Performance Rights if it forms the view that it is appropriate to do so given the circumstances that prevailed during the Measurement Period. In exercising this discretion, the Board shall take into account, amongst other factors it considers relevant, Company performance from the perspective of Shareholders over the relevant Measurement Period.
-
13.2 Before exercising its discretion under this Rule, the Board may seek advice from an independent advisor as to whether the discretion should be exercised and if so then the alternative extent of vesting that should be considered by the Board.
14 Vesting of Service Rights
-
14.1 Following the end of the Measurement Period, the Board will determine for each Tranche of Service Rights to which the Measurement Period applies and which have not previously lapsed, the extent to which it has vested, if at all, and notify Participants in writing of the vesting and the Vesting Date.
-
14.2 Prior to the end of a Measurement Period the Board may determine that some or all of the Service Rights held by a Participant will vest in which case the Board will notify Participants in a Vesting Notice of both the extent of vesting and the Vesting Date. In such circumstances the Board also has absolute discretion to determine that Exercise Restrictions (if any) are lifted, and that any remaining unvested Service Rights will be forfeited in which case the Board shall notify Participants in writing, in a form determined by the Board in its absolute discretion.
15 Vesting of Restricted Rights
Restricted Rights are fully vested at the Grant Date, therefore the Grant Notice and the Vesting Notice may be combined i.e. the Grant Date is also the Vesting Date for Restricted Rights.
16 Lapsing of Rights
Rights will lapse automatically on the earlier of:
-
a) For unvested Rights, when there is no opportunity for them to vest at a later date, or
-
b) The end of their Terms.
17 Exercise of Rights and Exercise Restrictions
-
17.1 An Invitation may specify an Exercise Restriction which is a period during which vested Rights may not be exercised, and any attempt to do so will be considered void, subject to the early release of Exercise Restrictions under Rules 12, 14, 19, 24, 26, 27 and 28.
-
17.2 Restricted Rights are subject to an Exercise Restriction for a period of 90 days following the Grant Date, unless a longer period is determined by the Board and specified in the Invitation.
-
17.3 Rights will be exercised automatically at the latter to occur of the Vesting Date or the elapsing of the Exercise Restriction (if applicable).
4
Drafted by GRG 2019
-
17.4 On exercise of Rights the Board will determine in its absolute discretion whether to settle the Exercised Rights Value in Shares (including Restricted Shares), a cash payment to the Participant or a combination of Shares and a cash payment to the Participant. The Board will advise the Participant in writing of the result of its determination, in the Vesting Notice.
-
17.5 Subject to Rule (a), to the extent that the Exercised Rights Value is to be provided in Shares, the Board will in its discretion, either:
-
(a) issue Shares to Participants, or
-
(b) arrange for Shares to be acquired for the benefit of Participants by the trustee of the EST. The Group will contribute such funds as are needed from time to time to the EST trustee to enable the EST trustee to acquire Shares and the trustee shall apply those funds to acquire Shares by:
-
i. on-market purchase, or
-
ii. subscription to a new issue
-
as directed by the Board.
- 17.6 To the extent that the Exercised Rights Value is to be paid in cash it will be paid via payroll less any legally required withholdings such as PAYG tax.
18 Disposal Restrictions Attached to Shares
-
18.1 All Shares acquired by Participants or held by the trustee of the EST for the benefit of Participants as a consequence of the exercise of Rights are initially Restricted Shares, and shall be subject to a disposal restriction being that such Shares may not be sold or disposed of in any way until their sale would not breach either:
-
(a) the Company’s share trading policy, or
-
(b) Division 3 of Part 7.10 of the Corporations Act
following expiry of the Specified Disposal Restriction, if any, applicable to the Restricted Shares.
-
18.2 Any attempt by a Participant to deal in or dispose of Restricted Shares will result in forfeiture of the Restricted Shares by the Participant, and the Board may require the Participant to facilitate a transfer of forfeited Restricted Shares to another party nominated by the Board, for nil consideration.
-
18.3 In cases of severe and demonstrable hardship the Board may in its absolute discretion waive the remaining portion of the Specified Disposal Restriction period.
-
18.4 If Shares subject to Specified Disposal Restrictions are held in the name of the Participant then the Company shall impose a CHESS holding lock to ensure that the disposal restrictions are complied with.
-
18.5 Specified Disposal Restrictions attached to Restricted Shares acquired when Rights have been exercised shall cease when the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Group, unless otherwise determined by the Board and specified in the Invitation.
-
18.6 Any CHESS holding lock applied by the Company to Restricted Shares will be removed when the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Group, unless otherwise determined by the Board and specified in the Invitation.
-
18.7 On the first occasion following the cessation of Specified Disposal Restrictions, if any, when Shares may be sold without breaching the Company’s share trading policy, the Board will advise the Participant in writing of the date of that occasion. A Cessation of Disposal Restrictions Notice will be used for this purpose. However, if sale of the Shares may not be undertaken due to Division 3 of Part 7.10 of the Corporations Act (insider trading
5
Drafted by GRG 2019
restriction provisions) then the effective date of the Cessation of Disposal Restrictions Notice will be taken to be delayed until the next point in time when sales of Shares may occur without breaching either the Company’s share trading policy or Division 3 of Part 7.10 of the Corporations Act (insider trading restriction provisions).
19 Disposal Restrictions and Exercise Restrictions Release at Taxing Point
-
19.1 In the event that a taxing point arises in relation to vested but unexercised Rights that are subject to Exercise Restrictions, the Exercise Restrictions will cease to apply to 50% of such Rights, unless otherwise determined by the Board.
-
19.2 In the event that a taxing point arises in relation to Restricted Shares and Specified Disposal Restrictions apply to such Shares then Specified Disposal Restrictions (and associated CHESS holding locks if applicable) will cease to apply to 50% of such Restricted Shares.
20 Fraud, Gross Misconduct, Etc.
In the event that the Board forms the opinion that a Participant has committed an act of fraud, defalcation or gross misconduct in relation to the Group, the Participant will forfeit all unvested Rights.
21 Board Discretion to Prevent Inappropriate Benefits
The Board has sole discretion to determine that some or all unvested Rights held by a Participant lapse on a specified date if allowing the Rights to vest would, in the opinion of the Board, result in an inappropriate benefit to the Participant. Such circumstances include but are not limited to:
-
(a) if a Participant engages in any activities or communications that, in the opinion of the Board, may cause harm to the operations or reputation of the Company or the Board,
-
(b) if the Board determines that a Participant or Participants took actions that caused harm or are expected to cause harm to the Company’s stakeholders,
-
(c) if the Board forms the view that a Participant or Participants have taken excessive risks or have contributed to or may benefit from unacceptable cultures within the Company,
-
(d) if the Board forms the view that Participants have exposed employees, the broader community or environment to excessive risks, including risks to health and safety,
-
(e) if a Participant joins a competitor (unless otherwise determined by the Board),
-
(f) if there has been a material misstatement in the Company’s financial reports, which once resolved, indicates that a larger number of Rights previously vested than should have, in light of the corrected information.
22 No Hedging
Participants must not enter into an arrangement with anyone if it would have the effect of limiting their exposure to risk in relation to Rights (vested or unvested) or Restricted Shares.
23 Bonus Issues, Rights Issues and Capital Reorganisation
- 23.1 In cases of bonus share issues by the Company the number of Rights held by a Participant shall be increased by the same number as the number of bonus shares that would have been received by the Participants had the Rights been fully paid ordinary shares in the Company,
6
Drafted by GRG 2019
except in the case that the bonus share issue is in lieu of a dividend payment, in which case no adjustment will apply.
-
23.2 In the case of general rights issues to Shareholders there will be no adjustment to the Rights. However, the Board may consider issuing options to Participants:
-
(a) of a number up to the number of Shares to which the Participant would have been entitled had the Rights been Shares, and
-
(b) the Exercise Price of such options will be equal to the amount payable by Shareholders to exercise a right to acquire a Share.
-
23.3 In the case of an issue of rights to other than to Shareholders there will be no adjustment to the Rights.
-
23.4 In the case of other capital reconstructions the Board may make such adjustments to the Rights as it considers appropriate with a view to ensuring that holders of Rights are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged.
-
23.5 This rule is subject to the application of the Listing Rules.
24 Termination of Employment
-
24.1 If a Participant ceases to be an employee of the Group then unvested Performance Rights in respect of which the first year of the Measurement Period has not elapsed will be forfeited in the same proportion as the remainder of the first year of the Measurement Period bears to the full year, unless otherwise determined by the Board.
-
24.2 Performance Rights that do not lapse at the termination of employment will continue to be held by Participants with a view to testing for vesting at the end of the Measurement Period. The Board has discretion to determine that any service conditions have been fulfilled at the end of the Measurement Period, regardless of whether or not a Participant remains employed by the Group.
-
24.3 If a Participant ceases to be an employee of the Group then Service Rights will be forfeited in the same proportion as the remainder of the Measurement Period bears to the full Measurement Period, unless otherwise determined by the Board and specified in the Invitation. Service Rights that do not lapse at the date of termination of employment will continue to be held by Participants with a view to testing for vesting at the end of the Measurement Period. The Board has discretion to determine that any service conditions have been fulfilled at the end of the Measurement Period, regardless of whether or not a Participant remains employed by the Group.
-
24.4 If a Participant has previously ceased to be an employee of the Group then Performance and Service Rights that vest will be dealt with pursuant to Rule 17 except that if the market value of a Share at the time of exercise is less than the market value of a Share at the date of the termination of employment then the Exercised Rights Value will be paid in cash, unless otherwise determined by the Board.
-
24.5 If a Participant ceases to be an employee of the Group then any unexercised Rights subject to Exercise Restrictions will cease to be so restricted on the date of the cessation of employment with the Group.
-
24.6 If a Participant ceases to be an employee of the Group then 50% of any Restricted Shares held by the Participant will cease to be subject to any Specified Disposal Restrictions, unless otherwise determined by the Board and specified in the relevant Invitation.
7
Drafted by GRG 2019
25 Retirement Benefit Limit
Notwithstanding any other provision in these Rules, the Company is not required to provide or procure the provision of any benefit which would result in a breach by the Company of Division 2 of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act relating to termination benefits to any Participants who are the holder of an managerial or executive office unless any prior approval required from the Shareholders for the provision of such a benefit has been sought and obtained by the Company.
26 Delisting
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, in the event the Board determines that the Company will be imminently de-listed, the Vesting Conditions attached to the Tranche at the time of the Application will cease to apply and:
- (a) unvested Performance Rights will vest in accordance with the application of the following formula as at a date determined by the Board (Effective Date), noting that negative results will be taken to be nil and vesting cannot exceed 100%:
| Number of Performance Rights to Vest = Unvested Performance Rights x |
(Share Price at the Effective Date – Share Price at Measurement Period Commencement) |
|---|---|
| Share price at Measurement Period Commencement |
-
(b) any remaining unvested Performance Rights will vest to the extent, if any, determined by the Board having regard to the circumstances of the expected de-listing,
-
(c) any unvested Performance Rights that do not vest pursuant to (b) and (c) will lapse,
-
(d) all unvested Service Rights will vest to the extent determined by the Board in its discretion, having regard to the circumstances giving rise to the grant of Service Rights, and any remainder will lapse immediately,
-
(e) any unexercised Rights held by a Participant that are subject to an Exercise Restriction will cease to be so restricted on the date that the Board determines in its sole discretion, and
-
(f) Specified Disposal Restrictions will cease to apply and any Company initiated CHESS holding lock will be lifted.
27 Change of Control without Delisting
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, in the event of a Change of Control including a takeover that is not expected to result in the immediate delisting of the Company, the Vesting Conditions attached to the Tranche at the time of the Application will cease to apply and:
- (a) each Tranche of unvested Performance Rights will automatically vest in accordance with the application of the following formula as at a date determined by the Board (Effective Date), noting that negative results will be taken to be nil and vesting cannot exceed 100%:
% of First (Share Price at the Effective Date – Share price Number of Unvested Year of at Measurement Period Commencement) Performance = Performance x Measurement x Rights to Vest Rights Period Share price at Measurement Period Elapsed Commencement
8
Drafted by GRG 2019
-
(b) any remaining Performance Rights will either be allowed to continue, lapse or vest in the sole discretion of the Board, having regard to performance over the elapsed portion of the Measurement Period,
-
(c) the terms and conditions that apply to the remainder of the Rights that continue, in particular the standards of performance required for vesting, would then be reviewed to account for the Company’s changed circumstances. The Board may seek independent advice regarding the application of its discretion in this circumstance,
-
(d) the Board will have discretion to vest unvested Service Rights in part or in whole, or to determine that they will be unaffected, as may be appropriate in the circumstances. If the decision is made not to vest the Service Rights, the number of Rights may be adjusted to ensure that Participants are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by the return of capital to Shareholders, at the Board’s discretion, and
-
(e) any unexercised Rights held by a Participant that are subject to an Exercise Restriction will cease to be so restricted on the date that the Board determines in its sole discretion.
28 Major Return of Capital to Shareholders or Demerger
In the event that the Board forms the view that a major part of the Company’s assets or operations will imminently cease to be owned by the Group due to an intention to sell or separately list those assets or operations, or in the event of a major return of capital to Shareholders:
-
(a) unvested Performance and Service Rights will either vest to the extent determined by the Board, with the remainder lapsing, or the Board will adjust the number and vesting conditions of Performance and Service Rights held so that Participants are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by the return of capital or demerger, and
-
(b) Restricted Rights will cease to be subject to Exercise Restrictions and Specified Disposal Restrictions prior to the return of capital or demerger, on the date determined by the Board.
29 Exercise of Rights Granted to a Director without Shareholder Approval
If a grant of Rights to a Director has not received prior approval of the Company’s shareholders, then on exercise of such Rights and subject to the Listing Rules any Shares to be provided to the Participant shall be acquired by on-market purchase.
30 Separate Clawback or Malus Policy
While the Company has a separate malus or clawback policy that applies to variable remuneration, and that policy addresses unvested and/or vested Rights and/or Restricted Shares, then in the event of any inconsistency between the Plan Rules and the policy, the latter shall prevail.
31 ASIC Class Order Compliance
Invitations will be made in reliance on ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (or any successor class order) and the Board will take such action or refrain from taking actions so as to remain able to rely on the relief provisions of the Class Order, including notifying ASIC when it first relies on the Class Order and not making grants that may exceed the limit contained in the Class Order.
9
Drafted by GRG 2019
32 Employee Share Scheme Taxing Provisions to Apply
Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 applies to this Plan including to all Rights granted under the Plan and all Shares that arise from the exercising of Rights.
33 Overseas Transfers
-
33.1 If a Participant is transferred to work in another country and, as a result of that transfer, the Participant would:
-
(a) suffer a tax disadvantage in relation to their Rights (this being demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Board); or
-
(b) become subject to restrictions on their ability to deal with the Rights, or to hold or deal in the Shares or the proceeds of the Shares acquired on exercise, because of the security laws or exchange control laws of the country to which he or she is transferred,
then, if the Participant continues to hold an office or employment with the Group, the Board may decide that the Performance or Service Rights will vest on a date it chooses before or after the transfer takes effect, and that Exercise Restrictions and Disposal Restrictions cease to apply.
