EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at Level 5, 191 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA on 15 May 2024 at 11:00am (WST).

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with and forms part of the accompanying Notice. This Explanatory Memorandum includes information to assist Shareholders in deciding how to vote on each of the Resolutions contained in the Notice.

Background to Resolutions

Proposed Acquisition of interest in the Gibbons Creek Uranium Project

On 28 February 2024, the Company announced to ASX ( February Announcement ) that its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Trinex Lithium Ltd ( Trinex Canada ), had executed a binding Letter of Intent ( LOI ) with TSX-V listed ALX Resources Corporation (TSX-V: AL) ( ALX ) in relation to the acquisition by Trinex Canada of up to a 75% interest in the Gibbons Creek Uranium Project in Northern Saskatchewan by way of an option and earn-in arrangement ( Gibbons Creek Earn-In ). As set out in the February Announcement, Trinex Canada and ALX have agreed that a more comprehensive definitive option/earn-in agreement that reflects the terms of the LOI ( Definitive Agreement ) will be negotiated in good faith.

As part of the Gibbons Creek Earn-In, the Company has agreed that on signing of the Definitive Agreement it will either pay CAD$250,000 in cash to ALX or issue Shares to ALX to the value of CAD$250,000 ( Definitive Agreement Payment ). Any Shares issued under the Definitive Agreement Payment will be held in voluntary escrow for 12 months following the date of issue.

If Trinex Canada decides to settle the Definitive Agreement Payment in Shares, the number of Shares to be issued will be determined by reference to the 10-trading day VWAP of Shares up to the end of the business day before the date of issue.

As Trinex Canada has the option to settle its payment obligation to ALX by either paying in cash or issuing Shares, the Company has utilised placement capacity for the purposes of LR 7.1 as the Company has effectively “agreed to issue” shares to ALX under the Gibbons Creek Earn-In (even though those Shares have not yet been issued). As at the date the Company agreed to issue the Shares to ALX, being 22 February 2024 ( LOI Execution Date ), the 10-trading day VWAP of Shares was approximately $0.0056. Accordingly, the agreement to issue the Shares pursuant to the Definitive Agreement Payment reduced the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 by a total of 50,142,700 Shares (calculated with reference to a foreign exchange rate of 1 CAD to 0.8831 AUD). If Trinex Canada ultimately chooses to settle the Definitive Agreement Payment in Shares, the actual number of Shares that may be issued by the Company to ALX pursuant to the Definitive Agreement Payment will be determined at that time, and therefore, may be different to the number of Shares referred to above (see further information below).

Placement

In the February Announcement, the Company also announced that it had received firm commitments from institutional and sophisticated investors (including certain Directors of the Company) to raise approximately $1.25 million (before costs) through a share placement of 250,000,000 Shares in two tranches at an issue price of $0.005 per Share ( Placement ) to fund exploration at the Gibbons Creek Uranium Project during the first year of the earn-in period.

Tranche 1

Completion of Tranche 1 of the Placement occurred on 11 March 2024, and resulted in the Company raising $1.175 million (before costs). Shares issue under Tranche 1 of the Placement consisted of:

(i) 86,390,244 Shares which were issued out of the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( 7.1 Placement ); and

6

(ii) 148,609,756 Shares which were issued out of the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A ( 7.1A Placement ),

(together, the Tranche 1 Issue ).

Tranche 2

Tranche 2 of the Placement relates to the issue of Shares under the Placement to certain Directors, and therefore requires Shareholder approval. Subject to Shareholder approval being received, Tranche 2 will result in the issue of a further approximately 15 million Shares to raise $75,000 (before costs).

A table setting out the specific details of each tranche of the Placement is set out below:

Description Number of Shares issued/to be issued Funds raised/to be raised (before
costs)
Tranche 1 235,000,000 issued on 11 March 2024 $1.175 million raised
Tranche 2 15,000,000 to be issued $75,000 to be raised
Total 250,000,000 $1.25 million

Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 by an extra 10% to 25%. At the time of the February Announcement, the Company had previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 24 November 2023 which means that the Company had this additional placement capacity available to it in relation to the issue of Shares under the 7.1A Placement. The Listing Rules provide that issues made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A can be ratified.

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 (or under Listing Rule 7.1A, as the case may be).

Resolution 1 – Ratification of agreement to issue of Shares to ALX

Please refer to the “Background to Resolutions” section above for information regarding the Proposed Acquisition and Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4.

Shareholder approval sought

The agreement to issue Shares to ALX pursuant to the Definitive Agreement Payment does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it has used up part of the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the LOI Execution Date.

Under Resolution 1, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the agreement to issue the Shares to ALX (pursuant to the Definitive Agreement Payment) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 so as to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

As the number of Shares to be issued to ALX pursuant to the Definitive Agreement Payment is calculated on a 10-trading day VWAP, and there is no floor price or maximum share cap, the issue of the Shares to ALX could be more dilutive to existing Shareholders if the market price of Shares falls substantially over the period between the LOI Execution Date and the date that the Shares are issued to ALX.

7

As noted above, as at the LOI Execution Date, the 10-trading day VWAP of Shares was approximately $0.0056. Accordingly, the agreement to issue the Shares pursuant to the Definitive Agreement Payment reduced the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 by a total of 50,142,700 Shares (calculated with reference to a foreign exchange rate of 1 CAD to 0.8831 AUD on the LOI Execution Date). However, if Trinex Canada ultimately chooses to settle the Definitive Agreement Payment in Shares, the actual number of Shares that may be issued by the Company to ALX pursuant to the Definitive Agreement Payment will be determined at that time, and therefore, may be different to the number of Shares referred to above.

Set out below are worked examples (for illustration purposes only) showing how many Shares may be issued to ALX using different 10-trading day VWAP scenarios. As at 3 April 2024, the Company’s 10-trading day VWAP was $0.0040.

*Calculated with reference to a foreign exchange rate of 1 CAD to 0.8831 AUD.

If Resolution 1 is passed, any issue of the Shares pursuant to the Definitive Agreement Payment will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the LOI Execution Date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, any issue of the Shares pursuant to the Definitive Agreement Payment will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, and will continue to restrict the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the LOI Execution Date.

Listing Rule 7.5 requires the following specific information to be provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) The Company has agreed to issue the Shares to ALX. ALX is not a related party of the Company.

  • (b) The Company has agreed to issue Shares to ALX to the value of CAD$250,000, calculated using the 10-trading day VWAP of Shares up to the end of the business day before the date of issue. Please refer to the table above for worked examples (for illustration purposes only) showing how many Shares may be issued to ALX under different 10-trading day VWAP scenarios.

  • (c) No Shares have been issued to ALX yet, but any Shares issued to ALX pursuant to the Definitive Agreement Payment will be issued by no later than 3 months after the Meeting.

  • (d) The Shares will be issued at the value of the CAD$250,000, calculated using the 10-trading day VWAP of Shares up to the end of the business day before the date of issue.

  • (e) If Trinex Canada chooses to settle the Definitive Agreement Payment in Shares, the Company will issue the Shares to ALX as part of the Gibbons Creek Earn-In. Any issue of Shares to ALX will not raise any funds.

  • (f) There are no further material terms to disclose in respect of the LOI.

  • (g) A voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in this Notice.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

8

Resolutions 2 and 3 – Ratification of issue of Shares pursuant to the Placement

Please refer to the “Background to Resolutions” section above for information about the Placement and Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

Shareholder approval sought

The issue of the Shares pursuant to the Tranche 1 Issue does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it has used up the Company’s extra 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A and part of the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

Under Resolutions 2 and 3, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the Tranche 1 Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 so as to retain as much flexibility as possible (under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A) to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Tranche 1 Issue will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s combined 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without further Shareholder approval.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Tranche 1 Issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, and (as some of the capacity to issue further securities will have been used) will continue to restrict the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval.

If only one of Resolutions 1 and 2 is passed (and the other is not passed), then the Company’s capacity to issue further securities will continue to be restricted to the extent the relevant Resolution is not approved.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to the Tranche 1 Issue:

  • (a) The Shares were issued to institutional and professional investors, none of whom are related parties of the Company. Some of the investors were existing Shareholders of the Company and the others were introduced to the Company by Pamplona (the Lead Manager and Bookrunner to the Placement).

  • (b) The total number of securities issued pursuant to the 7.1 Placement was 86,390,244 Shares (Resolution 2). The total number of securities issued pursuant to the 7.1A Placement was 148,609,756 Shares (Resolution 3).

  • (c) The Shares were issued on 11 March 2024.

  • (d) The Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.005 per Share.

  • (e) Funds raised are intended to be used towards funding Trinex Canada’s exploration expenditure obligations in relation to the Gibbons Creek Earn-In transaction (if a Definitive Agreement is ultimately entered into) and for general working capital purposes. If a Definitive Agreement is not ultimately entered into, the Company will apply the gross proceeds received towards the continued exploration and development of the Company’s other projects (including the Company’s Ross Lake/MAC and Halo/Yuri Lithium Projects in the Northwest Territories in Canada) and for general working capital purposes.

  • (f) There are no further material terms to disclose in respect of the Tranche 1 Issue.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement in respect of each of Resolutions 2 and 3 is set out in the Notice.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each of Resolutions 2 and 3.

Resolutions 4 and 5 – Issue of Shares to Directors under Tranche 2 of the Placement

Please refer to the “Background to Resolutions” section above for information about the Placement.

The following Directors (or their nominees) have subscribed for Shares under Tranche 2 of the Placement (together the Director Placement Issues ), subject to Shareholder approval at the Meeting pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11.

Director Subscription Shares Subscription amount
Mr William Dix (Managing Director) 5,000,000 $25,000
Mr Geoffrey Stuart Crow (Non-Executive
Director)
10,000,000 $50,000
TOTAL 15,000,000 $75,000

Listing Rule 10.11 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 (among others) a related party or an associate (as defined in the Listing Rules) of a related party unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Director Placement Issues fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and do not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. They therefore require the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Shareholder approval sought

Resolutions 4 and 5 seek the required Shareholder approval to the Director Placement Issues under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If those Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Director Placement Issues which will allow the Company to raise subscription funds pursuant to those issues.

If those Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Director Placement Issues and the Company will not be able to raise subscription funds pursuant to those issues.

Listing Rule 10.13 requires the following information to be provided in relation to the Director Placement Issues:

  • (a) The persons to acquire Shares under the Director Placement Issues are Mr William Dix and Mr Geoffrey Stuart Crow (or their respective nominees). Mr Dix is the Managing Director of the Company and Mr Geoffrey Stuart Crow is a Non-Executive Director of the Company.

  • (b) Mr Dix and Mr Crow fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1, being Directors of the Company. Their nominees (if applicable) would fall within Listing Rule 10.11.4, being associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the above mentioned Directors.

  • (c) The number of Shares that may be acquired by each Director (or their nominees) under the Director Placement Issues pursuant to each Resolution is, in the case of Mr Dix, 5,000,000 Shares and, in the case of Mr Crow, 10,000,000 Shares.

  • (d) The Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.

  • (e) Subject to receipt of Shareholder approval, the Shares will be issued in full following receipt of subscription funds and no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (unless an ASX waiver is obtained).

  • (f) The Shares will be issued at $0.005 per share.

Board Recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Dix and Mr Crow, who abstain) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of each of Resolutions 4 and 5.

Resolution 6 – Issue of Rights to Mr William Dix under the Incentive Plan

The Board intends to make an offer under the Incentive Plan.

The Incentive Plan was established in 2022 (after the Company’s previous option plan was re-drafted due to amendments to the Corporations Act relating to Employee Share Schemes) to incentivise Eligible Executives (as defined in Schedule 2) to provide (and reward them for providing) dedicated and ongoing commitment and effort to the Company, and to align the interests of Eligible Executive and Shareholders in order to increase Shareholder value by enabling Eligible Executive to share in the future growth and profitability of the Company. The Board considers that the ability to issue incentive rights and/or options as incentives to Eligible Executive provides a necessary mechanism to attract, retain and motivate personnel to achieve the Company’s goals.

The issue of securities under the Incentive Plan was approved by Shareholders at the Company’s 2022 annual general meeting held on 15 November 2022 for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13.

The Company is proposing to issue a total of 60,000,000 Rights under the Incentive Plan to the Company’s Managing Director, Mr William Dix, or his nominee ( Proposed Issue ). The Rights will vest in three tranches subject to the following Performance Conditions being achieved:

Tranche Number of
Rights
Performance Condition Milestone
Date
Expiry Date
Tranche 1 20,000,000 Rights shall vest and be exercisable into
Shares on the earlier occurrence of:
(a) the Company obtaining results of
surface rock chip sampling or core
sampling undertaken at any of the
mineral claims comprising the Gibbons
Cree Uranium Project with a grade of at
least 0.4% U3O8; and
(b) the Company’s Share price achieving a
20-trading day VWAP of at least $0.02,
prior to the Milestone Date.
Four (4)
years from
date of issue.
Five (5)
years from
date of issue.
Tranche 2 20,000,000 Rights shall vest and be exercisable into
Shares on the earlier occurrence of:
(a) the Company achieving a drilled
intercept of at least 1m at 4% U3O8or
equivalent (e.g. 40m at 0.1% U3O8) at
any of the mineral claims comprising the
Gibbons Creek Uranium Project; and
(b) the Company’s Share price achieving a
20-trading day VWAP of at least $0.03,
prior to the Milestone Date.
Four (4)
years from
date of issue.
Five (5)
years from
date of issue.

Tranche Number of
Rights
Performance Condition Milestone
Date
Expiry Date
Tranche 3 20,000,000 Rights shall vest and be exercisable into
Shares on the earlier occurrence of:
(a) the Company delineating a JORC
compliant Mineral Resource of at least
10Mlbs U3O8at any of the mineral
claims comprising the Gibbons Creek
Uranium Project; and
(b) the Company’s Share price achieving a
20-trading day VWAP of at least $0.04,
prior to the Milestone Date.
Four (4)
years from
date of issue.
Five (5)
years from
date of issue.

The Rights have an expiry date of 5 years from the date of issue ( Expiry Date ) and, subject to the respective milestone being achieved before the end of the Milestone Date, must be exercised prior to the Expiry Date (otherwise such Rights will lapse). For clarity, Rights will not automatically exercise on vesting and must be manually exercised by lodging an exercise notice with the Company.

The Rights granted under the Incentive Plan are subject to, and governed by, the Rules. A summary of the material terms of the Rules and the Rights to be issued under the Incentive Plan is set out in Schedule 2.

Shareholder approval sought

Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed entity to obtain shareholder approval for the issue of securities to related parties, which includes a director of the listed entity.

Listing Rule 10.12, Exception 8 provides that approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is not required for an issue of Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme made, or taken to have been made, with the approval of the issuing entity’s shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit a director (or certain other persons) to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Proposed Issue falls within Listing Rule 10.14 and therefore require the approval of Shareholders. Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the Proposed Issue for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

Mr William Dix, as Managing Director of the Company, is entitled to participate in the Incentive Plan. The Board (other than Mr Dix, who abstains) considers that the issue of Rights to Mr Dix, or to his nominee, under the Incentive Plan is in the Company’s interests as it further aligns the interests of Mr Dix with the interests of Shareholders in order to maximise Shareholder value. Further, the Proposed Issue provides cost effective remuneration to Mr Dix in his role as Managing Director and will assist in retaining his services, which the Board (other than Mr Dix, who abstains) considers to be important to the future success of the Company.

The proposed issue of Rights constitutes an equity-based incentive for Mr Dix. The Rights (in relation to a Tranche) will lapse on either the date that is five (5) years after the date they are issued, the respective Performance Condition not being satisfied by the Milestone Date, or otherwise in accordance with the Rules.

The Board (other than Mr Dix, who abstains) has considered the Proposed Issue and, taking into account the circumstances of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the circumstances of Mr Dix, and the remuneration practices of other similar entities, consider that the financial benefit to be provided to Mr Dix by way of the Rights (together with the other elements of his remuneration package) constitutes reasonable remuneration. Accordingly, approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not being sought.

As no exercise price is payable for the exercise of Rights, if all of the Rights are ultimately exercised by Mr Dix and convert into Shares, the Company will not raise any funds.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Proposed Issue and issue up to a total of 60,000,000 Rights to Mr Dix or his nominee.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Rights to Mr Dix or his nominee.

Schedule 2 – Summary of Incentive Plan

1 Key Terms

The key terms of the Plan are as follows:

  • (a) The Board may offer Incentive Securities to Eligible Executives in the form of an “Offer Document”.

  • (b) The Board may offer Incentive Securities to Eligible Executives having regard to the seniority of the Eligible Executive and the position the Eligible Executive occupies in the Group, each Eligible Executive’s length of service with the Group, the record of employment of the Eligible Executive with the Group, the contribution the Eligible Executive has made to the Group, the potential contribution of the Eligible Executive to the Group and any other matters which the Board considers relevant.

  • (c) Each Offer will be contained in an Offer Document which must specify (among other things) the vesting conditions or performance conditions and that the Offer is made under Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act. Where an Exercise Price is specified in the Offer Document (and such Exercise Price is greater than zero), the Offer Document must contain the information and particulars required by sections 1100Q, 1100W and 1100Y of the Corporations Act which relates to offers for monetary consideration (and the Offer must otherwise comply with those provisions).

  • (d) No amount is payable on the issue of Incentive Securities.

  • (e) Unless the Board determines otherwise, no payment is required for the grant of, or on vesting or exercise of an Incentive Securities (unless the Incentive Security is an Option and an Exercise Price is specified in the Offer Document).

  • (f) Upon receipt of an Offer, an Eligible Executive may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a Nominee in whose favour the Eligible Executive wishes to renounce the Offer. The Board may, in its absolute discretion, resolve not to allow a renunciation of an Offer in favour of a Nominee without giving any reason for that decision.

  • (g) Incentive Securities may not be transferred unless by force of law upon death to the Participant’s legal personal representative or upon bankruptcy to the Participant’s trustee in bankruptcy.

  • (h)

  • Each Right which vests will entitle a Participant to be issued one Share.

  • (i) Unless the Offer specifies that Rights will be automatically exercised when the Rights vest, a Right is exercisable by the Participant lodging with the Company Secretary a properly completed notice of exercise, together with the relevant certificate.

  • (j) The Board may in its absolute discretion:

  • (i) increase or decrease the level of vesting irrespective of performance in relation to a Performance Condition, if the Board forms the view in the light of the circumstance that prevailed during the Measurement Period that either nil vesting or a different level of vesting would be more reasonable in the circumstances; and/or

  • (ii) vest some or all of a grant of an Incentive Security prior to the end of the Measurement Period, if in the circumstances it considers it appropriate to do so.

  • (k) Each Option entitles a Participant to subscribe for and be issued one Share at the Exercise Price. Unvested Options will vest when the Performance Conditions (if any) prescribed in the relevant Offer have been satisfied, in which case, subject to the Rules (and payment of the Exercise Price, if any), a Participant will be issued one Share.

  • (l) An Option is exercisable by the Participant lodging with the Company Secretary a properly completed notice of exercise, together with the relevant certificate and payment of the full amount of the Exercise Price. Options may also be exercised pursuant to a “cashless exercise” method, under which the Company will only issue such number of Shares as is equivalent to the number of

16

Options being exercised multiplied by the excess of the Average Share Price over the Exercise Price (as set out in the Offer Document), divided by the Average Share Price and then rounded down to a whole number.

  • (m) Incentive Securities will not be quoted on ASX.

  • (n) The Company will make an application to ASX for official quotation of Shares issued on the exercise of Incentive Securities, if other Shares of the Company are listed at that time. The Company may, in its discretion, defer applying for official quotation of any Shares until such time as any restrictions on trading of those Shares under the Plan cease to apply (to the extent permitted under the Listing Rules).

  • (o) Incentive Securities:

  • (i) carry no right to a dividend and no right to vote;

  • (ii) do not confer any right to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise;

  • (iii) do not confer any right to participate in the surplus profit or assets of the Company upon a winding up; and

  • (iv) do not confer any right to participate in new issues of securities such as bonus issues or entitlement issues,

unless and until the Incentive Security converts into a Share.

  • (p) A Participant may only participate in new issues of securities to Shareholders if the Incentive Security has been exercised and Shares have been registered in the name of the Participant before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue. If required by the Listing Rules, the Company must give notice to Participants of any new issue before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue.

  • (q) In the event of any reorganisation of the capital of the Company, the rights of a holder of Incentive Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to such reorganisation at the time of the reorganisation. The Board must, as soon as reasonably practicable after making any such adjustments, give notice in writing of the adjustment to any affected Participant.

  • (r) Prior to the issue of Shares to a Participant upon exercise of Incentive Securities, the Board may make any adjustments it considers appropriate to the terms of an Incentive Security granted to that Participant in order to minimise or eliminate any material advantage or disadvantage to a Participant resulting from a corporate action such as a capital raising. Where additional Incentive Securities are granted to the Participant under the Rules, such Incentive Securities will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Incentive Securities granted to the Participant (including without limitation, any Performance Conditions) unless the Board determines otherwise.

  • (s) If Shares are issued pro rata to the Company’s Shareholders generally by way of bonus issue or rights issue, the number of Incentive Securities, or the number of Shares to which each Participant is entitled upon exercising of Incentive Securities, or any amount payable on exercise of Incentive Securities, will be adjusted in the manner determined by the Board, having regard to the Listing Rules and the general principles set out in the Rules.

  • (t) If a disclosure document (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act) or cleansing notice under section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act is required to ensure that the Shares issued on exercise of Incentive Securities are freely tradeable on ASX and the Company is not (at the time of exercise) in a position to release such document or statement (or if to do so would be commercially prejudicial to the Company), the Board may determine that the exercise of an Incentive Security is deemed to be deferred for up to 3 months until such time as the Company is in a position to do so.

17

  • (u) The Board may determine (at any time) that some or all Incentive Securities will vest are or will become exercisable immediately if:

  • (i) a takeover bid (as defined in the Corporations Act) is made in respect of Shares and both the bidder obtains Voting Power in the Company of 50% or more and the takeover offers are made or declared unconditional (other than for the happening of the events or circumstances set out in section 652C(l) and (2) of the Corporations Act or the condition set out in section 625(3) of the Corporations Act); or

  • (ii) a transaction by way of compromise or arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act is approved by the requisite majorities of members of the Company at a meeting convened in accordance with the order of a court under section 411(1) of the Corporations Act; or

  • (iii) an event or transaction by which an entity becomes or is to become the registered holder of more than 50% of the total issued Shares is approved or accepted by a majority of members of the Company.

  • (v) An Incentive Security not exercised will lapse on the first to occur of:

  • (i) an unauthorised dealing in, or hedging of, the Incentive Security occurring, as governed by the Rules;

  • (ii) a Performance Condition in relation to the Incentive Security not being satisfied by the due date, or becoming incapable of satisfaction, as determined by the Board in its absolute discretion, unless the Board otherwise exercises its discretion under the Plan;

  • (iii) the expiry date of the Incentive Security as set out in the Offer Document;

  • (iv) the expiry of 30 days, or any longer period which the Board determines, after the Relevant Person ceases to be employed or engaged by any member of the Group for any reason, including death, Total and Permanent Disablement or Retirement; and

  • (v) a determination of the Board that the Participant or Relevant Person has acted fraudulently, dishonestly or in breach of the Participant’s or Relevant Person’s obligations to the Company or any member of the Group and that the Incentive Right is to be forfeited.

  • (w) The Board may, in its absolute discretion, before an Incentive Security expires, determine that an Incentive Security will not lapse if the Participant has ceased to be employed or engaged by any member of the Group as a result of:

  • (i) Total and Permanent Disablement, ill health, death, economic necessity or any other factor not attributable to the conduct or performance of that person; or

  • (ii) Retirement under circumstances that are not related to the conduct or performance of that person,

in which case the Incentive Security will, subject to the Plan, remain exercisable by the Participant (or, where applicable, the Participant’s executor, administrator or legal personal representative) until the date determined by the Board or until the Incentive Security otherwise lapses in accordance with the Rules.

  • (x) If, when making an Offer of Options under the Plan, the Company does under section 1100Q of the Corporations Act, it must, at the time of making the Offer, comply with the issue cap contained in section 1100V of the Corporations Act. This does not apply to the issue of Rights under the Plan.

  • (y) Any Shares issued on exercise of Incentive Securities will rank equally with all existing Shares on issue from the date of issue.

  • (z) Subject to the Plan, the Listing Rules and all applicable laws, the Board may at any time by written instrument amend all or any of the rules of the Plan. The decision of the Board as to the interpretation, effect or application of the Rules will be final and conclusive.
