2. RESOLUTION 1 - ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 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.
2.2 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.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
2.3 Previous voting results
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 Annual General Meeting.
3. RESOLUTION 2 - RE-ELECTION OF KEONG CHAN AS DIRECTOR
3.1 General
Clause 14.2 of the Company’s Constitution requires that at the Company’s annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or if their number is not a multiple of 3 then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director except a Managing Director shall hold office for a period in excess of 3
8
years, or until the third annual general meeting following their appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself for re-election. The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election.
3.2 Keong Chan – Executive Chairman
Keong Chan was appointed as a Director of the Company on 29 September 2017 and was last re-elected as a Director of the Company at the 2020 AGM.
Under this Resolution, Keong has elected to retire by rotation in accordance with clause 14.2 of the Company’s Constitution, and being eligible, seeks re-election as a Director of the Company at this AGM.

4. RESOLTUION 3 – ELECTION OF IAN THUBRON
4.1 General
The Company’s Constitution requires that any Director appointed in addition to the existing Directors will hold office until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 also provides that each additional director appointed during the year is to hold office until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for election as a Director of the Company.
4.2 Ian Thubron – Non-Executive Director
Ian Thubron was appointed as an additional Director of the Company on 8 September 2021 and has since served as a Director of the Company.
Under this Resolution, Ian Thubron, will retire and being eligible, seeks election as a Director of the Company at this AGM.

The Company undertook such checks prior to the appointment of Mr Thubron.
Mr Thubron has confirmed that he considers he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Non-Executive Director of the Company and does not consider that any other commitment will interfere with his availability to perform his duties as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.
4.5 Directors’ recommendation
The Board has reviewed Mr Thubron’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Thubron’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. The Directors (excluding Mr Thubron) recommend that Shareholders vote for this Resolution.
5. RESOLUTION 4 – ASX LISTING RULE 7.1A (ADDITIONAL 10% CAPACITY) APPROVAL OF FUTURE ISSUE OF SECURITIES
5.1 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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to add an additional 10% capacity.
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 less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million).
As of 29 September 2021, based on a closing share price of $0.024, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $14,555,032, million and therefore is
10
an eligible entity. If at the time of the Meeting the Company is no longer an eligible entity this Resolution will be withdrawn.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
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 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.
5.2 Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The following information is provided to Shareholder for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.
Period for which the approval will be valid
An approval under this Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:
-
(a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;
-
(b) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(c) the time and date on which Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
Minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A
Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be an existing quoted class of the Company’s Equity Securities and issued for cash consideration.
The issue price per equity security must not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of the Equity Securities in that class, calculated over 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(a) the date on which the price at the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; and
-
(b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used
As noted above, any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed use of funds at the time of issue.
11
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, if Shareholders approve this Resolution. However, if Shareholders approved this Resolution and the Company did raise funds from the issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company considers that the funds may be used for the following purposes:
-
(a) to further develop the Company’s business;
-
(b) for general corporate purposes, including working capital requirements.
Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing ordinary Securityholders
If this Resolution is approved, and the Company issues Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted.
There is a risk that:
-
(a) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
(b) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) 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 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Securityholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in rule 7.1A.2:
| Dilution | Dilution | Dilution | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Shares on Issue (Variable A in Listing Rule 7.1A.2) |
Shares issued – 10% voting dilution |
Issue Price | |||||
| $0.014 | $0.027 | $0.041 | |||||
| 50% decrease | Issue Price |
50% increase |
|||||
| Funds Raised | |||||||
| Current | 626,459,674 | 62,645,967 | $845,721 | $1,691,441 | $2,537,162 | ||
| 50% increase |
939,689,511 | 93,968,951 | $1,268,581 | $2,537,162 | $3,805,743 | ||
| 100% increase |
1,252,919,348 | 125,291,935 | $1,691,441 | $3,382,882 | $5,074,323 |
*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Notes:
-
(a) Based on the total number of fully paid ordinary Shares on issue as at 5 October 2021.
-
(b) Based on the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX as at 5 October 2021.
-
(c) The table assumes that the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities
12
available to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A mandate.
-
(d) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(e) 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 issue 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.
-
(f) 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.
-
(g) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of this Explanatory Statement.
-
(h) The table shows the effect of an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A only, not under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Allocation policy for issues under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company’s allocation policy and the identity of the allottees of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will depend on a number of factors, including:
-
(a) the Company’s intentions in relation to the possible issue of Equity Securities (for cash consideration) during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period;
-
(b) the structure and timeframe of the capital raising opportunities available to the Company and any alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company (such as a pro rata offer or an offer under a share purchase plan);
-
(c)
-
the potential effect on the control of the Company;
-
(d) the Company’s financial position and the likely future capital requirements; and
-
(e) advice from the Company’s corporate or financial advisors.
Based on the Company’s historical cashflow reports and capital raising activities in the past 12 months, the Company considers that it may raise funds during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, although this cannot be guaranteed. As of the date of this Notice, no specific intention to issue Equity Securities in relation to any parties, investors or existing Securityholders have been formed. In addition, no intentions have been formed in relation to the possible number of issues, or the time frame in which the issues could be made. Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Board of Directors reserve the right to determine at the time of any issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the allocation policy that the Company will adopt for that issue.

Issue or agreement to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months prior to AGM
The Company obtained shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2020 AGM. However, the Company has not issued or agreed to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the AGM.
This Resolution is a Special Resolution. For a Special Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of the votes validly cast on the resolution by Shareholders (by number of ordinary shares) must be in favour of this Resolution.
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.
5.3 Directors’ recommendation
The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for this Resolution.
6. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – LISTING RULE 7.1
6.1 General
On 4 October 2021 the Company agreed to issue to Bluestone Fund Management Pty Ltd 20,000,000 Shares an issue price of $0.025 each to raise $500,000 ( Placement ). The Shares were issued to unrelated sophisticated and professional investors on 6 October 2021 using the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares issued using its Listing Rule 7.1 capacity
The Company proposes to use the funds raised from the Capital Raising to allow the Company to accelerate its growth strategy and increase its market share of Australian and New Zealand premium brands into the Asian market.
No fees were payable by the Company in relation to the placement.
6.2
Listing Rule 7.1
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 30 November 2020.
The issue of the Shares, the subject of this Resolution, does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder
14
approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Shares.
6.3 Listing Rule 7.4
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. 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 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 Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shares.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shares under the Placement.
6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Shares.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Shares.
It is noted that the Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of Equity Securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 4 being passed at this Meeting.
6.5 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:
-
(a) the Shares were issued to unrelated sophisticated and professional investors, who were selected by the Company in conjunction with the Lead Manager;
-
(b) None of the subscribers was:

-
(h) the Shares were issued to applicants under the Placement. The Company entered into agreement in respect of the Placement, which is summarised at Section 6.1.
6.6 Directors’ recommendation
The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for this Resolution.
7. RESOLUTION 6 – CHANGE OF AUDITOR
- 7.1 Following a competitive tender of external audit services, the Board selected Rothsay Audit & Assurance Pty Ltd (“Rothsay”) as the proposed new auditor of the Company.
RSM Australia Partners (“RSM”), the Company’s current auditor, has advised the Company that it has applied to ASIC for consent to resign as auditor of the Company with effect from the close of the Meeting. The consent of ASIC is required under the Corporations Act for RSM to resign as auditor.
Upon receipt of ASIC’s consent to their resignation, RSM has advised that it will submit a notice of resignation to the Company in accordance with section 329(5) of the Corporations Act, such resignation to take effect from the date of the Meeting. If ASIC does not grant its consent to the resignation, RSM will continue to hold office as the Company’s auditor.
The Corporations Act requires the Company to obtain the approval of Shareholders for the appointment of Rothsay as auditor of the Company. In accordance with section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act, Jiahua Zhou, a director and shareholder of the Company, has nominated Rothsay for appointment as auditor of the Company. A copy of the nomination is attached to this notice at Annexure A. Rothsay has given its written consent to the appointment in accordance with section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act, subject to Shareholder approval and the resignation of RSM, and as at the date of the Notice, has not withdrawn its consent.
Subject to the consent of ASIC being received and the approval of Shareholders being obtained, the appointment of Rothsay as auditor of the Company will become effective from the close of the Meeting.
16
7.2 Directors’ recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of the appointment of Rothsay as auditor of the Company.
8. RESOLUTION 7 - APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO A DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to issue and allot 3,000,000 Options to Ian Thubron, Director of the Company (the Options ).
8.1 Terms and Conditions of the Options
The key terms and conditions of the Options, including the vesting conditions, are set out below. For the full terms and conditions of the Options, refer to Schedule 1 of this Notice.
-
(a) Exercise Price: The amount payable upon exercise of each Option is Nil;
-
(b) Expiry Date: Each Option will expire at 5:00 pm (AEST) on the date which is four (4) years from the date of issue of each Option ( Expiry Date );
-
(c) Exercise Period: Each Option is exercisable at any time from the date which is three (3) years from the date of issue of that Option until the Expiry Date ( Exercise Period );
-
(d) Each Option will vest subject to:
-
(i) the holder being employed by the Company for the period between:
- (A) the date on which the Option is issued to the holder; and (B) the commencement date of the Exercise Period.
8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions; or
-
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.
The proposed issue of Options under Resolution 7 constitutes the giving of a financial benefit and Ian Thubron is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company.
The Directors (other than Ian Thubron who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Options, because the agreement to issue the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Ian Thubron, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
In considering the reasonableness of the Options the subject of this resolution, the Directors took into account advice received from an independent remuneration expert completed in respect of the proposed grant of the Options. The
17
recommendation received from the independent remuneration expert was that the proposed grant of the Options is “reasonable remuneration”.
8.3 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.1 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following persons without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:
-
(a) A related party (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1).
-
(b) A person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement a substantial holder (30%+) in the entity (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.2).
-
(c) A person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.3).
-
(d) An associate of a person referred to in rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3.
-
(e) A person who’s relationship with the entity or a person referred to in rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by security holders.
As Ian Thubron is a Director of the Company, he is a related party for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issues fall within Listing Rule 10.11, and therefore require the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
To this end, Resolution 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Options to the Director under Resolution 7 under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
8.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options to Ian Thubron within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options and consideration will need to be given as to remuneration by other means.
8.5 Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
The following information in relation to the issue of Options under Resolutions 7 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13:
-
(a) The allottees are, Ian Thubron, Director of the Company;
-
(b) Ian Thubron is a Director of the Company and therefore falls within the category referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1;
18
-
(c) The maximum number of Options that may be issued to Ian Thubron is 3,000,000 Options;The full terms of the Options including the exercise price (where applicable) are set out in Schedule 1 of this Notice of Meeting;
-
(d) The Options will be issued within 1 month of Shareholder approval being obtained by the Company;
-
(e) Funds raised by the Company upon exercise of the Options (where applicable) will be used for general working capital;
-
(f) The current proposed total remuneration package for the Ian Thubron for the 2022 financial year are set out below. The two far right columns demonstrate the value of which, if the Options are issued, the total remuneration package of Ian Thubron will increase:
| Related Party |
Salary/Fees | Superannuation | Total | Value of Options |
Total Remuneratio n Following Option Issue |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ian Thubron |
$48,000 | - | $48,000 | $72,000 | $120,000 |
-
(g) the Options are unquoted Options. The Company has chosen to issue the Options to the Director for the following reasons:
-
(i) the issue of Options to the Director will align the interests of the Director with those of Shareholders;
-
(ii) the issue of the Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Director;
-
(iii) because of the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the Director in respect of an issue of Options, the issue of the Options is also beneficial to the Company as it means the Director is not required to immediately sell the Options to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; and
-
(iv) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Options on the terms proposed;
-
(h) the Company values the Options at $0.024 (being $0.024 per Option) based on the Black-Scholes methodology;
-
(i) the issue price of the Options will be nil, as such no funds will be raised from the issue of the Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options); and
-
(J) the Options are being issued pursuant to the Company’s Incentive Plan. A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan is set out in Annexure B.

ANNEXURE B – SUMMARY OF INCENTIVE PLAN
The Company’s Incentive Plan, was adopted to assist in the reward, retention and motivation of the Company's Directors, senior management, and other key employees.
Under the rules of the Incentive Plan, the Board has a discretion to offer any of the following awards to senior management, directors or other nominated key employees:
-
options to acquire Shares;
-
performance rights to acquire Shares; and/or
-
Shares, including to be acquired under a limited recourse loan funded arrangement,
in each case subject to service-based conditions and/or performance hurdles (collectively, the Awards ).
The terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan are set out in comprehensive rules. A summary of the rules of the Incentive Plan is set out below:
-
The Incentive Plan is open to Directors, senior management, and any other employees of the Company, as determined by the Board. Participation is voluntary.
-
The Board may determine the type and number of Awards to be issued under the Incentive Plan to each participant and other terms of issue of the Awards, including:
-
what service-based conditions and/or performance hurdles must be met by a participant in order for an Award to vest (if any);
-
the fee payable (if any) to be paid by a participant on the grant of Awards;
-
the exercise price of any option granted to a participant;
-
the period during which a vested option can be exercised; and
-
any forfeiture conditions or disposal restrictions applying to the Awards and any Shares that a participant receives upon exercise of their options or performance rights.
-
The Board may, in its discretion, also determine that the Company will issue limited recourse loans to participants to use for the purchase of Shares as part of a Share Award under the Incentive Plan.
-
The Board may determine in its sole and absolute discretion that a Participant will not be required to provide payment of the Exercise Price of Options by cash, cheque or some other method acceptable to the Company, but that on exercise of the Options the Company will only allot and issue or transfer that number of Plan Shares to the Participant that are equal in value to the difference between the Exercise Price otherwise payable in relation to the Options and the then Market Value of the Plan Shares as at the time of the exercise (rounded down to the nearest whole Plan Share).When any service-based conditions and/or performance hurdles have been satisfied, participants will receive fully vested Shares or their options/performance rights will become vested and will be exercisable over Shares (as applicable).
-
Each vested option and performance right enables the participant to be issued or to be transferred one Share upon exercise, subject to the rules governing the Incentive Plan and the terms of any particular offer.

▪ As at the date on which shareholder approval is obtained to adopt the Incentive Plan, the maximum number of Awards that the Company may grant under the Incentive Plan without shareholder approval is 31,322,984.
