The issue of the Director Performance Rights falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Performance Rights requires the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

The proposed issue of the Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Shares. Accordingly, Resolutions 7(a)-7(h) seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares.

If Resolutions 8(a)-8(h) are not passed, the Company may still proceed with the issue of the Shares from the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (if the Company has such capacity), and in which case the Company will have a reduced ability to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
