BUSINESS

The Annual Financial Statements, comprising the Financial Report, Directors' Report and Auditor's Report for the year ended 30 June 2020 will be laid before the meeting. Shareholders will have the opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the 2020 Annual Financial Statements and the management of the Company. A representative of the auditor will be invited to attend, to answer questions about the audit of the Company’s 2020 Annual Financial Statements.
As permitted by the Corporations Act, a printed copy of the Company’s 2020 Annual Report has been sent only to those shareholders who have elected to receive a printed copy. A copy of the 2020 Annual Report is available from the Company's website (www.westwitsmining.com) and the ASX announcements page of the Company (www.asx.com.au, search code “WWI”). A copy of the 2020 Annual Report can also be obtained upon request to Simon Whyte, the CFO and Company Secretary, by email to [email protected].
There is no requirement for these reports to be formally approved by shareholders. No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.
Resolution 1: Non-binding Resolution - Remuneration Report
The Company is required pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“ the Corporations Act ”), to propose a non-binding resolution regarding the 2020 Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Director’s Report in the 2020 Annual Financial Statements. The vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Shareholders attending the 2020 Annual General Meeting of the Company will have an opportunity to discuss and put questions in respect of the Remuneration Report.
The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies. Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings ( AGM ) (treating this AGM as the first such meeting), shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGM's on a resolution (a spill resolution ) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's Directors (other than the Managing Director and CEO) must be put up for re-election. The vote on the Remuneration Report contained in the Company's 2019 Annual Financial Statements was passed with the support of more than 75% of votes thus a spill resolution will not be required in the event 25% or more of votes that are cast are against the adoption of the 2020 Remuneration Report. However, in the event that 25% or more of votes that are cast are against the adoption of the 2020 Remuneration Report, shareholders should be aware that if there is a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more for the same resolution at the 2021 AGM the consequences are that it may result in the re-election of the Board.
Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice. In particular, Directors and other members of the key management personnel details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report or a closely related party of those persons must not vote on Resolution 1 and must not cast a vote as proxy, unless the proxy

appointment gives a direction on how to vote provided however that the Chair may vote undirected proxies on behalf of persons eligible to vote where expressly authorised to do so on the proxy form.
Resolution 2: Re-election of Dr Andrew Tunks as a Director
Resolution 2 is a resolution for the re-election of Dr Andrew Tunks as a Director of the Company.
Pursuant to the constitution of the Company ( Constitution ), at each AGM one-third of Directors (excluding the Managing Director, if any) or, if their number is not a multiple of three (3), then the number nearest to but not more than one-third of Directors must retire from office. The Company has five (5) Directors, one of whom is the Managing Director, and therefore one is required to retire.
The Directors to retire by rotation at an AGM are those Directors who have been longest in office since their last election or appointment and excluding Directors appointed between AGMs. Directors elected or appointed on the same day may agree among themselves or determine by lot which of them must retire. Each of Dr Andrew Tunks and Mr Michael Quinert were last elected at the 2018 AGM and accordingly Dr Andrew Tunks shall retire at the 2020 AGM.

Since then, Dr Tunks has held several executive roles with ASX-listed groups including CEO of Auroch Minerals, General Manager - Operations at Orinoco Gold (Brazil) and CEO of A-Cap Resources (Botswana). More recently, he was appointed MD of Meteoric Resources.

He is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, holds a Bachelor of Science (Hons) from Monash and a PhD in geology from the University of Tasmania.

The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to a 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 capitalization of $300 million or less.
The Company is, at the date of the Notice, an eligible entity.
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 (if any) to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer below). The Company may use funds raised from any issue(s) under the 10% Placement Facility for development of its existing business and any acquired business, or funding new projects or business opportunities and/or general working capital.
The Company obtained shareholder approval to make issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2019 AGM. This Shareholder approval will lapse on the date of this Meeting.
The Company issued 95,250,000 ordinary shares under the capacity available to it under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A pursuant to approval obtained at the 2019 AGM prior to lapse of this capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Company seeks to refresh the shareholder approval so as to continue to be able to make issues under the 10% Placement Facility after the Meeting in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
DESCRIPTION OF LISTING RULE 7.1A
• Shareholder approval
The ability to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an AGM.
• Equity securities
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 the Notice, has one class of quoted equity securities, being ordinary shares ( WWI ).
- Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an AGM may, during the 10% Placement Period (defined below), issue a number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
-12-
(A x D) – E
where:
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue:
-
(i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
-
(ii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 where:
-
a. the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
b. the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or take under those rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(iii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 16 where:
-
a. the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
b. the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under those rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(iv) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;
-
(v) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(vi) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
-
Note: “A” has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
D is 10%
- E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.
• ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
As at the date of this Meeting, the Company has 1,185,066,755 ordinary shares on issue and will therefore (subject to the passage of the other resolutions at the Meeting) have capacity to issue:
-
(i) 177,760,013 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (15% capacity); and
-
(ii) subject to shareholders approving this Resolution 3, 118,506,675 (provided such equity securities are in a class of quoted equity securities) under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of equity securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the equity securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer above).
-13-
- Minimum Issue Price
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:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the relevant equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the relevant 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.
10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained and expires (and ceases to be valid) on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained; or
-
(ii) the time and date of the next AGM of the Company; or
-
(iii) the date of the approval by Shareholders 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).
( 10% Placement Period ).
- ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors of the Company to issue the equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period separate to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 3 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).
SPECIFIC INFORMATION REQUIRED BY ASX LISTING RULE 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
Any equity security issued will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s equity securities over the 15 trading days immediately before:
-
(i) The date on which the price at which the relevant equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the relevant 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.
-
If Resolution 3 is approved by the Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company would be diluted as shown in the below table. 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 quantum of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.
-14-
The table below shows the dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the current market price of the Company’s ordinary shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of the Notice. The table also shows:
-
Two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary shares the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary shares that do not require shareholder approval (for example, a pro-rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future shareholders’ meeting.
-
Two examples of where the price of ordinary shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price (being $0.036 (3.6 cents), the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares at close of trading on 5 October 2020).

The table above has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Company issues the maximum securities available under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A being 10% of the Company’s shares on issue at the date of the Meeting.
-
No options are exercised, performance rights converted or convertible notes converted into fully paid ordinary securities before the date of the issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
The table does not demonstrate an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
The table only demonstrates the effect of issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. It does not consider placements made under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The deemed price in the table is indicative only and does not consider the maximum 25% discount to market that the securities may be placed at under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Company may seek to issue the equity securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised (if any) towards developing its existing business and any acquired business, or to fund new projects or business opportunities and/or for general working capital.
-15-
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 upon issue of any equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case-bycase basis having regard to factors including but not limited to the following:
-
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;
-
the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Due to the forward looking nature of the approval, the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company were to pursue an acquisition and were it to be successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new assets or investments (provided that the shares were issued for cash consideration).
The Company has previously obtained shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2019 AGM. The Company issued 95,250,000 equity securities (being ordinary shares) under the shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A obtained at its 2019 AGM the 12-month period preceding the proposed date of the Meeting. Further details are set out in the table below:

Cash |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 04/06/20 | 65,000,000 | WWI | New and existing unrelated sophisticated and professional investors who were clients of Shaw and Partners, Foster Stockbroking or who the Company identified as part of its investor relations activities. |

-16-
As at the date of that Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the equity securities. Accordingly, no voting exclusion applies to this Resolution 3 and no existing shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded.
The directors of the Company unanimously recommend shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
Resolution 4: Ratification of prior issue of options
Resolution 4 seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of 5,500,000 unlisted options (each with an exercise price of $0.015 (1.5 cents), expiry date of 3 February 2022 and which, upon exercise, entitle the holder to one fully paid ordinary share in the Company) to Peter O’Malley, who was not a related party of the Company at the time of issue of the unlisted options the subject of Resolution 4.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company’s shareholders ratify the prior issue of securities, or an agreement to issue securities, made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (provided the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been issued or agreed to be issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Company seeks approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to refresh its capacity to make further issues without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

In addition, if any of the unlisted options the subject of Resolution 4 are exercised into ordinary shares, the placement capacity of the Company to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and, subject to the relevant shareholder approval being held at the time, ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, will be increased.

The shares the subject of Resolutions 8A and 8D are to be issued at a deemed price of $0.019 in lieu of cash to satisfy fixed executive bonus payments due to Mr van Heerden and Mr Quinert for the period ended 30 June 2020.

The shares the subject of Resolution 8B and 8C reflect the fixed executive bonus payments that will be due to Mr van Heerden in the six month periods ending 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2021. The issue of the shares the subject of Resolutions 8B and 8C will be subject to Mr van Heerden remaining in the same executive role in the Company at the end of the relevant six month period and the Company electing to pay the relevant fixed executive bonus payment in shares in lieu of cash.

**the deemed price per share is the 30 day VWAP of the shares of the Company as traded on ASX in the period prior to the date on which the executive bonus payment is calculated. For the shares the subject of Resolutions 8A and 8D the deemed price was calculated using the 30 day VWAP of the shares of the Company up to and including 30 June 2020. For the shares the subject of Resolution 8B, the 30 day VWAP of the shares of the Company up to and including 31 December 2020 will be used to calculate the deemed price and therefore the number of shares to be issued to satisfy the executive bonus payment due to Mr van Heerden for the six month period ended 31 December 2020. For the shares the subject of Resolution 8C, the 30 day VWAP of the shares of the Company up to and including 30 June 2021 will be used to calculate the deemed price and therefore the number of shares to be issued to satisfy the executive bonus payment to satisfy the executive bonus payment due to Mr van Heerden for the six month period ended 30 June 2020.
The executive bonus payment representing the shares the subject of Resolutions 8A and 8D were accrued during the period ended 30 June 2020 and, as the Company has elected that these executive bonus payments be met by an issue of shares in lieu of cash payment, the Company would propose, subject to receipt of required shareholder approval, issuing the shares pursuant to Resolutions 8A and 8D shortly following the Meeting.
Michael Quinert’s executive role for the Company was significantly reduced from 1 June 2020, with his executive bonus payment for the period ended 30 June 2020 being commensurately reduced to reflect the reduction in his role. It is not anticipated as at the date of the Notice that Mr Quinert will receive any further executive bonus payments in the near future in connection with the services he provides to the Company.
The issue of the shares the subject of Resolutions 8B and 8C will be subject to Mr van Heerden remaining in the same executive role in the Company at the end of the relevant six month period and the Company electing to pay the relevant fixed executive bonus payment in shares. If shareholders approve Resolutions 8B and 8C, the Company will have the flexibility to meet the executive bonus payments anticipated to be due to Mr van Heerden between the date of the Meeting and the 2021 AGM by an issue of shares in lieu of cash without requiring further shareholder approval.
All shares the subject of Resolutions 8A to 8D are proposed to be issued under the ESOP. Shareholder approval for the adoption of the ESOP is sought under Resolution 9 and a summary of the ESOP is set out in Annexure B.
ASX Listing Rules
Each of Jac van Heerden and Michael Quinert are Directors of the Company and are therefore related parties under Chapter 10 of the ASX Listing Rules. Shareholder approval is therefore required under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of shares to each of them under the ESOP. As shareholder approval is being sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, shareholder approval is not required under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If shareholders:
-
Pass Resolutions 8A to 8D, the Company will be able to issue all of the shares the subject of those Resolutions.
-
Pass some but not all of Resolutions 8A to 8D, the Company will be able to issue the shares the subject of the Resolution(s) passed by shareholders. The Company will not be able to issue shares in respect of the Resolution(s) not passed by shareholders. The fixed executive bonus payments as set out in the table above will be due in cash.
-
Do not pass Resolutions 8A to 8D, the Company will not be able to issue the shares and all of the bonuses set out in the table above will be payable in cash as and when due at the end of the periods set out above.

Corporations Act
Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a “financial benefit” to a “related party” unless one of the exceptions to the section apply or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the related party.
Each of Jac van Heerden and Michael Quinert are Directors of the Company and are therefore related parties of the Company under the Corporations Act.
Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that one of the exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for giving a financial benefit to a related party is where the benefit is given to the related party as an officer of the Company and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given:
-
(a) the circumstances of the Company; and
-
(b) the related party’s circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment).
The Company considers the proposed issues are reasonable remuneration and, as such, fall within the exception set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act.
In reaching this view, the Company has considered the respective positions and responsibilities of Jac van Heerden and Michael Quinert, the Company’s reliance on a limited number of personnel, the need for the Company to effectively incentivise its executives while aligning the incentive with increasing shareholder value, the desirability of preserving cash resources within the Company. The Company considers that the issue of the shares is an effective tool which preserves the cash resources of the Company and its group entities whilst providing valuable consideration for the recipients. It is noted that the proposed issue(s) of shares are, or will be, in lieu of cash with respect to fixed executive bonus payments.
Each of Jac van Heerden and Michael Quinert were not present during any discussions and/or determination of the proposed issue of shares to them respectively and/or their respective nominee(s). Further details regarding the circumstances of the proposed issue(s) of securities are set out above in this Memorandum.
Following issue of the shares, Jac van Heerden and Michael Quinert will have the interests in the number of shares set out in the table above (including as calculating using the relevant formulas with respect to Resolutions 8B and 8C).
Resolution 9: adoption of employee incentive scheme
Background
Resolution 9 seeks shareholder approval for the adoption of an employee incentive scheme, being the Employee Security Ownership Plan ( ESOP ). A summary of the ESOP is set out in Annexure B and a copy of the ESOP can be provided upon request to the Company.
-23-
The maximum aggregate number of securities that may be issued under the ESOP is 118,506,675.
ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires that shareholder approval is required for an issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the entity during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13 provides an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for securities issued under an employee incentive scheme within 3 years of shareholder approval of the scheme. The Company therefore seeks approval of the ESOP for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13 so that issues of securities under the ESOP do not impede the capacity of the Company to issue up to a further 15% of its capital without shareholder approval.
The Company has not issued any securities under the ESOP. The Company does, however, propose issuing the securities the subject of Resolutions 8A to 8D under the ESOP. The Company also proposes issuing 1,842,105 shares to Simon Whyte, the CFO and secretary of the Company (and/or his nominee(s)) who is not a related party of the Company, at or about the time shareholders approve the adoption of the ESOP pursuant to this Resolution 9. The shares are proposed to be issued in lieu of cash at the election of the Company in lieu of cash in respect of fixed executive bonus payments. This election was made to preserve cash resources in the Company to prioritise expenditure in connection with the mining right application, exploration and feasibility studies on the WBP. If shareholders do not approve the adoption of the ESOP sought under this Resolution 9 then the Company may still issue these shares to Simon Whyte (and/or his nominee(s)) using the placement capacity available to the Company under the ASX Listing Rules.
The Company in future issue securities under the ESOP, however it does not have any plans to do so as at the date of the Notice. As noted above, the maximum aggregate number of securities that may be issued under the ESOP is 118,506,675.
Any issue or agreement to issue securities under the ESOP will be announced to ASX.
Corporations Act
The ESOP constitutes an ‘employee share scheme’ for the purposes of the Corporations Act as it provides for the acquisition (subject to vesting conditions) of securities in the Company. If such a scheme has been approved by Shareholders then any financial assistance that the Company might give to acquire its own shares (eg providing an interestfree loan) is exempted from the prohibition in section 260A of the Corporations Act. Section 260A requires financial assistance that might be considered to materially prejudice the interests of the Company or its shareholders or the Company’s ability to pay its creditors to be approved by Shareholders under section 260B and advance notice to be provided to ASIC. The provision of a loan to participants may be considered financial assistance for the purposes of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, the Board considers it desirable and appropriate to seek Shareholder approval for the ESOP for the purposes of section 260C(4).
Section 257B(1) of the Corporations Act sets out the procedure for various forms of share buy-back, including an “employee share scheme buy-back”. In order for the Company to undertake a buy-back of Shares under the ESOP (in circumstances where Shares are forfeited by participants in accordance with their terms of issue) using the employee share scheme buy-back procedure under the Corporations Act, the ESOP must be approved by shareholders. Accordingly, shareholders are asked to approve the ESOP in order for the Company to undertake a buy-back of Shares under the ESOP using the employee share scheme buy-back procedure.
Approval of the ESOP for the purposes of section 259B(2) of the Corporations Act will allow the Company to take security over its own shares issued on exercise of Options granted under the ESOP. The rules of the ESOP provide the option for the Company to obtain security over its own shares and it is envisaged that issued Shares may be subject to restrictions on disposal. Approval of the ESOP for the purposes of s259B(2) of the Corporations Act removes any doubt about the efficacy of such restrictions on the basis they may constitute a ‘security’ over the shares.
General
An electronic copy of the ESOP will be made available to shareholders upon request to the Company.
A voting exclusion statement as set out in the Notice applies to this Resolution 9.

ANNEXURE A TERMS OF OPTIONS
The options the subject of resolution 4 have the following terms:
-
(a) Each option entitles the holder to acquire one ordinary fully paid share in the capital of the Company.
-
(b) The exercise price is 1.5 Australian cents (A$0.015) per option, payable in full on exercise.
-
(c) Options are exercisable at any time prior to 5:00 pm Melbourne time on 3 February 2022 (" the Expiry Date ") by completing an option exercise form and delivering it together with the payment for the number of shares in respect of which the options are exercised to the registered office of the Company. Any option that has not been exercised prior to the 5:00pm Melbourne time on Expiry Date automatically lapses.
-
(d) Subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, and the Constitution of the Company, options are freely transferable.
-
(e) All Shares issued upon exercise of options will rank pari passu in all respects with, and will have the same terms as, the Company's then issued fully paid ordinary shares. The Company will apply for official quotation by ASX of all shares issued upon valid exercise of options.
-
(f) An option will not give any right to participate in dividends until Shares are issued pursuant to the exercise of an option.
-
(g) There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the options. Option holders are not entitled to participate in new issues of securities offered to shareholders without first exercising options. Subject to any waiver granted by ASX, the Company will send notices to holders of options at the time required by the Listing Rules prior to the record date applying to offers of securities made to shareholders during the currency of the options.
-
(h) In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company prior to the Expiry Date, the number of options or the exercise price of the options or both shall be reconstructed in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reconstruction. An option does not otherwise confer the right to a change in exercise price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the option can be exercised.

ANNEXURE B SUMMARY OF ESOP
The Company is seeking shareholder approval for the adoption of this Employee Security Ownership Plan (“ Plan ”) at the Meeting of the Company.
The maximum number of securities which may be issued under the Plan from time to time is 118,506,675. Shares issued on exercise of an option or exercise or conversion of an interest issued under the Plan, and options or other interests which have been cancelled or which have lapsed are not counted in determining the number of securities issued under the Plan.
As at the date of the Notice, no securities have been offered or issued under the Plan. The Company proposes issuing the shares the subject of Resolutions 8A to 8D and 1,842,105 shares to Simon Whyte (and/or his nominee(s)) under the Plan. Further details are set out in the Memorandum to which this Annexure B is annexed.
Any issues of securities or agreements to issue securities under the Plan will be announced to ASX.
The Plan provides for shares, options or other securities or interests (including performance rights) to be issued to eligible persons. The purpose of the Plan is to:
-
(a) provide eligible persons with an additional incentive to work to improve the performance of the Company;
-
(b) attract and retain eligible persons essential for the continued growth and development of the Company;
-
(c) to promote and foster loyalty and support amongst eligible persons for the benefit of the Company; and
-
(d) to enhance the relationship between the Company and eligible persons for the long-term mutual benefit of all parties.
Eligible persons are directors, officers and employees of, or consultants to, the Company or an associated body corporate and, in the case of consultants, may include bodies corporate. Participants in the Plan, the number, type and terms of any securities offered or issue, and the terms of any invitation, offer or issue are determined by the Board with the advice of the remuneration committee, if any.
Directors and related parties of the Company may only participate in the Plan if prior shareholder approval is obtained in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.
The Directors may make loans to eligible persons to assist acquiring or for the purpose of acquiring securities under the Plan, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.
The Board is to administer the terms of the Plan, including but not limited to determining the terms of securities issued, adoption of rules subordinate to the Plan for the administration of the Plan and the suspension or termination of the Plan.
The Plan is to be interpreted and applied in accordance with and subject to the ASX Listing Rules.
