EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at a General Meeting.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Statement or the preceding Notice, please contact the Company, your stockbroker or other professional adviser.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES TO MSASA LIMITED ON THE ACQUISITION OF LONDOLOZA RESOURCES CORPORATION

The Company announced on 25 February 2008 that it has finalised and signed the formal Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire Londoloza Resources Corporation (LRC) which holds a suite of Zambian mineral projects from Msasa Limited .

As previously announced to the market on 27 September 2007, the Company will initially acquire the Solwezi, Choma and Kabwe projects as LRC's initial projects, together with areas currently under licence application by LRC .

The acquisition of these properties, together with those currently under application, provides the Company with an immediate presence in Zambia and has the potential to add significant value to the company. As a result of the acquisition of LRC, the Company is now also well placed to secure additional projects in Zambia. Zambia is considered a highly attractive destination for mineral investment and development due to its stable political environment, good infrastructure and a well established mining industry. The world renowned copperbelt has long been host to major copper-cobalt mines.

An updated summary of the initial projects being acquired is provided below:

Solwezi

The Solwezi Project license (PLLS 298) is an elongated area bordering the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) situated in the northern part of the world renowned Zambian Copperbelt region. LRC's Solwezi Project lies some 15 kilometres due south of the Kipushi mine (King Leopold Mine) in the DRC – an historic operation that produced copper and Zinc between 1925 and 1993. A resource of 16.9 Mt averaging 16.7% zinc and 2.2% Cu, open along strike and down dip, remains at the Kipushi mine and initiatives are in place to resume mining. The Kipushi mineralisation is hosted in Kundulungu carbonates - formations that underlie the Solwezi license. Producing mines like First Quantum’s Kansanshi copper-gold and KCM’s Konkola copper mine – currently producing 2 million tonnes of copper per year – lie within 50-65 kms of the Solwezi Project boundary. Konkola Copper Mines have announced plans to increase annual copper production at Konkola to over 6 million tonnes.

Figure 1: Solwezi Project Area

Choma

Choma comprises a single large license (PLLS 329) that covers an area of 9300 km[2] in south-east Zambia. Little previous exploration has been conducted on this area and it represents an exciting greenfield opportunity. The area is underlain by a large body of granite – the Kalomo Batholith – intrusive into schists and gneisses. Along the eastern margin of the Choma license are a large number of known tantalum and tin deposits developed in the bounding schists. It is felt that exploration within the marginal facies of the Kalomo Batholith is highly likely to reveal new granite-related polymetallic deposits.

Figure 3: Choma Project Area

Kabwe Project

The Kabwe Project currently comprises the Small Mining License SML 177 that includes the area of the old Iron Cap Mine situated 54km to the south east of the town of Kabwe. Between the years 1950 to 1961 more than 38,000 ounces of gold was produced at Iron Cap from ore that attained grades of up to 22g/t. The Kabwe Project is situated close to the Mwembeshi Shear Zone – an area of known prospectivity for gold, copper, zinc and other base metals. Early exploration by Zambezi Resources on the prospecting license enclosing the Iron Cap mine (PLLS224) has returned promising results: rock chip samples from the “Iron Cap South” prospect returned 1.58% Cu, 0.28g/t Au and 12g/t Ag; from the “Kamona” prospect 1.02% Cu, 3.86g/t Au and 21.4g/t Ag.

LRC has applications pending on two additional properties that will add 1825 km[2] of prospective ground to the east along strike of Iron Cap. These additional properties are ideally placed in an area with substantial potential for the discovery of major new copper-gold-silver-lead-zinc polymetallic ore deposits. These properties also include significant areas of lower Karoo sediments containing coal measures. The basal contact of the Karoo is a potential target site for economic uranium enrichments – the successful uranium projects of the Kariba Valley (Dibwe/Mutanga, Gwabe, etc) are located along this geological zone.

==> picture [460 x 302] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2: Kabwe Project Area

The initial projects being acquired offer the Company an exciting spectrum of exploration targets: traditional copperbelt style targets at Solwezi; new Au, CuAu-Ag and Pb-Zn targets with the added possibility of coal and uranium at Kabwe; and fundamental, greenfields exploration and target generation at Choma. With other areas currently under licence application by LRC, we expect to be granted additional properties in due course.

Under the terms of the transaction to acquire LRC the Company has agreed, subject to shareholder approval, to issue to Msasa Limited

  • a) 100,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (comprising 18.1% of its share capital) which reflects the value of the initial projects already held by LRC.

  • b) 170,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company upon LRC securing the right to acquire an advanced mining project. The shares are to be issued upon completion of a desktop study (to the sole satisfaction of the Company) to confirm the economic viability of the project. Discussions with parties in relation to the acquisition of such projects are currently in progress.

  • c) 270,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company upon completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study (to the sole satisfaction of the Company) on any of these projects.

The share issues referred to in paragraphs (b) and (c) are not being approved as part of Resolution 1. It is most likely that if the further consideration shares are to be issued, separate shareholder approval will be required. ASX has also

confirmed that Listing Rule 11.1.3 does not apply to the acquisition of LRC as it relates to (a) above with regard to the three properties described above, together with those currently under application and as such the Company will not be required to comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules. Depending on the nature and scale of the transactions contemplated in (b) and (c) above, ASX is likely to require the Company to comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules in the future.

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for Resolution 1:

  • (a) the maximum number of securities to be issued by the Company pursuant to Resolution 1 is 100,000,000 Shares;

  • (b) the Shares are proposed to be issued to Msasa Limited (or its nominees). Msasa Limited is not a related party of the Company;

  • (c) the Shares will be allotted and issued within 3 months of the date of the meeting (or such later date as allowed by ASX). It is intended that 100,000,000 Shares will be issued to Msasa Limited on completion of the acquisition of LRC;

  • (d) the Shares issued will rank equally with the existing Shares on issue; and

  • (e) the Shares will be issued in consideration for the acquisition of LRC and no funds will be raised from the issueof the Shares.

At the same time as pursuing the opportunities that the acquisition of LRC is expected to bring, the Company will continue with its existing seafood wholesale business and will be seeking to expand this business although current trading conditions within the wholesale seafood market, particularly the Company’s primary export market, continue to deteriorate, primarily due to the rise in the value of the Australian dollar. This has limited the Company’s ability to undertake profitable transactions with its overseas customers. The Company is examining ways to improve the profitability of its trading activities and will also examine other opportunities within the wholesale seafood industry as they are identified by the Company.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-APPROVAL FOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS TO STARVALE HOLDINGS PTY LTD

Resolution 2 seeks approval for the allotment and issue of 35,000,000 Shares to Starvale Holdings Pty Ltd ( Starvale ) or its nominees.

This proposed issue of shares was previously approved by shareholders at a general meeting of the Company on 30 August 2007, but were not issued by the Company within the three month period following that meeting that is permitted by ASX. As such the Company is seeking re-approval of this issue.

On 23 July 2007, the Company appointed Starvale to assist with managing and arranging the Company’s future financing requirements and corporate advisory services. In consideration for the provision of these services both up to the date

of the appointment and for future work, the Company agreed to allot and issue, subject to Shareholder approval, up to a maximum of 70,000,000 Shares and 230,000,000 Options to Starvale or its nominees.

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for Resolution 2:

  • (a) the maximum number of securities to be issued by the Company pursuant to Resolution 2 is 35,000,000 Shares;

  • (b) the Shares are proposed to be issued to Starvale (or its nominees). Starvale is not a related party of the Company;

  • (c) the Shares will be allotted and issued within 3 months of the date of the meeting (or such later date as allowed by ASX). It is intended that 35,000,000 Shares will be issued to Starvale following completion of the acquisition transaction the subject of Resolution 1;

  • (d) the Shares issued will rank equally with the existing Shares on issue; and

  • (e) the Shares will be issued in consideration of the provision of advisory services outlined above and no funds will be raised from the issue of the Shares.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – PLACEMENT SHARES

Resolution 3 seeks approval for the allotment and issue of up to 50,000,000 Shares at an issue price not less than 85% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares as traded on ASX to raise approximately $2,000,000.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights of conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for Resolution 1:

  • (a) the maximum number of securities to be issued by the Company pursuant to Resolution 3 is 50,000,000 Shares;

  • (b) the Shares are proposed to be issued to sophisticated, institutional or other investors who are exempt from the requirement to issue a prospectus under Section 708 of the Corporations Act. None of the allottees will be related parties of the Company;

  • (c) the Shares will be allotted and issued within 3 months of the date of the meeting (or such later date as approved by ASX) and it is intended that the allotment and issue of the Shares will take place on one and the same date;

  • (d) the Shares issued will rank equally with the existing Shares on issue;

  • (e) the Shares will be issued at a price not less than 85% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares as traded on ASX per Share; and

  • (f) funds raised will be utilised for working capital and, on completion of the transaction referred to in Resolution 1 above, to finance the Company’s initial exploration programme and fund the further management and review of the existing business and working capital.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – ELECTION OF MR JOHAN ENGELBRECHT

Resolution 4 seeks approval for the election of Mr Johan Engelbrecht as a director of the Company in accordance with Clause 13.3 of the Company’s Constitution.

Johan Engelbrecht is a seasoned mining executive with over 20 years experience in the industry with a strong entrepreneurial capability focused on asset identification and acquisition. He was recently instrumental in acquiring the majority of the African energy assets and also coordinated the public listing of these assets for a large North American energy company.

The Board recommends the appointment of Mr Johan Engelbrecht as a director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION PLAN

On 22 February 2008, the directors of the Company resolved to adopt the Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”). The purpose of the ESOP is to assist in the recruitment, reward, retention and motivation of employees and officers of the Company.

A copy of the rules of the ESOP is enclosed with this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum and a summary of the main provisions of the ESOP is set out in Annexure 1, in addition to the following:

  • The ESOP will be managed and administered by the Board or a committee established by the Board for that purpose.

  • In its discretion, the committee will decide:

  • whether it is appropriate for an eligible person (being an officer or employee of the Company or an associated company) to participate in the ESOP;

  • the number of options to be issued to eligible persons;

  • the exercise conditions (if any) to apply to options issued pursuant to the ESOP; and

  • the exercise price for each option (subject to certain restrictions contained in the ESOP).

  • In so deciding, the committee must consider:

  • the eligible person's position within the Company and the services provided to the group by the eligible person;

  • the eligible person's record of employment or service with the Company;

  • the eligible person's potential contribution to the growth of the Company; and

  • any other matters which tend to indicate the eligible person's merit.

  • The committee has the discretion to determine the issue price, the exercise price, the vesting period, the expiry date and the exercise conditions applicable to all options issued under the ESOP.

  • The issue price for all options issued under the ESOP must not exceed the lesser of 1 cent or 1% of the exercise price of the relevant options.

  • Although the committee has the discretion to determine the exercise price for each option issued under the ESOP, that price must not be less than any minimum price prescribed by the Listing Rules or the market price of a share at the time the committee decides to offer an option.

  • In basic terms, the total number of shares the subject of options issued under the ESOP immediately following an issue of options under the ESOP must not exceed 5% of the then issued share capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis.

  • The ESOP will continue in operation until the Board decides to terminate it.

Shareholder approval is not required for the adoption of the ESOP, however issues of options under the ESOP will count towards the 15% limit in Rule 7.1 of the Listing Rules, once the Company is listed. Under that Rule, the Company must not issue in aggregate securities (including options) equal to more than 15% of the issued capital of the Company in any rolling 12-month period without shareholder approval. Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought to ensure that any options issued under the ESOP are excluded from the calculations in determining the number of securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval under the 15% limit.

As the Board has only recently adopted the ESOP, no options have been issued under it as at the date of this Explanatory Memorandum.

Listing Rule 10.14 requires that the Company seek shareholder approval for the issue of Options to directors under the ESOP.

ANNEXURE 1

SUMMARY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ESOP OPTIONS

  1. The Options are exercisable by notice in writing to the Company accompanied by payment of the exercise price.

  2. All Shares issued on the exercise of the Options will rank equally in all respects with the Company's then existing fully paid ordinary Shares.

  3. The Options are not transferable, and will not be quoted on ASX. If the Company's ordinary Shares have been admitted to quotation by ASX, the Company must apply to ASX within 10 business days after the date of issue for all Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Options to be admitted to quotation.

  4. Holders may only participate in new issues of securities to holders of ordinary Shares in the Company if an Option has been exercised and Shares issued in respect of the Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue. The Company must give at least 9 business days' notice to holders of any new issue before the record date for determining entitlements to that issue in accordance with the Listing Rules.

  5. If, after the vesting period and before the end of the Option period the Company gives holders of Shares the right (pro rata with existing shareholdings) to subscribe for additional securities and the Option is not exercised in time to enable the holder to obtain the Share issued on exercise of the Option with the right to subscribe for additional securities, the exercise price of an Option after the issue of those securities is adjusted in accordance with the formula set out below.

O[1] = O – E [P – (S + D)] N + 1

Where:

  • O[1] = The new exercise price of the Option.

  • O = The old exercise price of the Option.

  • E = The number of Shares into which an Option is exercisable.

  • P = The average closing price (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises) on the Stock Exchange Automated Trading System provided for the trading of securities on ASX of Shares (weighted by reference to volume) during the 5 trading days before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date.

  • S = The subscription price for one security under the renounceable rights or entitlements issue.

  • D = The dividend due but not yet paid on existing Shares (except those to be issued under the renounceable rights issue or entitlements issue).

  • N = Number of Shares with rights or entitlements required to be held to receive a

  • right to one new security.

However, if O[1] under this formula is less than the Minimum Price (under the Listing Rules), the new exercise price of the Option is to be equal to the Minimum Price (under the Listing Rules).

  1. If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Ordinary Shares in the Company, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of

Shares which the holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

  1. If, prior to the expiry of any Options, there is a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company, Options are to be treated in the manner set out in the Listing Rules applying to reorganisations of capital at that time.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

  1. A member entitled to attend and vote at a Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If the shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

  2. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company. In the case of joint holders, all must sign.

  3. Corporate shareholders should comply with the execution requirements set out on the proxy form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  4. directors of the company;

  5. a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  6. for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Sections 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

  1. Completion of a proxy form will not prevent individual shareholders from attending the meeting in person if they wish. Where a shareholder completes and lodges a valid proxy form and attends the meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that shareholder is suspended while the shareholder is present at the meeting

  2. Where a proxy form or form of appointment of corporate representative is lodged and is executed under power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this proxy.

  3. To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the proxy form enclosed and either:

  4. (a) deliver or mail the proxy form to the Company’s registered office at Level 12, 28 The Esplanade, Perth, Western Australia, 6000; or

RULES OF THE GSF CORPORATION LIMITED EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION PLAN

1.

OBJECT

1.1 Object of Plan

The GSF Corporation Limited Employee Share Option Plan is to assist in the recruitment, reward, retention and motivation of employees and Officers of the Group.

1.2 Outline of Plan

Under this Plan, the Board or Committee may issue to Eligible Persons Options to acquire Shares for an Exercise Price and on conditions fixed by the Board or Committee on grant of the Options.

2. ELIGIBILITY

2.1

Determination of eligibility

The Committee may from time to time in its absolute discretion decide:

  • (a) whether it is appropriate for an Eligible Person to participate in the Plan;

  • (b) (whether or not the Eligible Person is already a Holder) the number of Options the Eligible Person is to be invited to apply for at any time;

  • (c) the Exercise Conditions (if any), Vesting Period (if any) and Exercise Period to apply to the Options the Eligible Person is to be invited to apply for; and

  • (d) the Exercise Price for each Option, but the Exercise Price must not be less than either:

  • (i) the Minimum Price; or

  • (ii) the Market Price of 1 Share at the date the Committee decides to invite the Eligible Person to apply for the Option.

2.2 Relevant considerations

In deciding the matters in clause 2.1, the Committee must consider:

  • (a) the Eligible Person's position with the Group and the services provided to the Group by the Eligible Person;

  • (b) the Eligible Person's record of employment or service with the Group;

  • (c) the Eligible Person's potential contribution to the growth of the Group; and

  • (d) any other matters which tend to indicate the Eligible Person's merit.

3. INVITATIONS

3.1 Invitations

The Committee may from time to time invite an Eligible Person to apply for Options.

3.2 Directors

The Committee may only invite a Director, or an associate of a Director (within the meaning given by Part 1.2 Division 2 of the Corporations Act 2001), to apply for an Option as permitted by the Listing Rules.

3.3 Content of invitation

The Committee must specify in the invitation:

  • (a) the Participant;

  • (b) the number of Options the Participant is invited to apply for;

  • (c) the amount (if any), not exceeding for each Option the lesser of 1 cent or 1% of the Exercise Price, payable by the Participant (or his Permitted Nominee) as consideration for the Options and the payment terms including any circumstances in which the Company must refund some or all of that amount);

  • (d) for each Option, the Exercise Price, Vesting Period, Option Period and any Exercise Conditions;

  • (e) the closing date for applying for each Option;

  • (f) how the Participant is to apply for the Option; and

  • (g) how the Company will during the Option Period, within a reasonable time after a request by the Holder, inform the Holder of the current market price of Shares.

3.4 Accompanying documents

The Committee must include with the invitation described in clause 3.3:

  • (a) a copy, or a summary, of these Rules; and

  • (b) an Acceptance Form.

  • 3.5

Copy of Rules

If the invitation is not accompanied by a copy, or a summary, of these Rules, the Company must undertake in the invitation that during the Option Period, within a reasonable period of the Holder so requesting, the Company will provide the Holder without charge with a copy, or a summary, of these Rules.

3.6 Price Information

The Company must undertake in the invitation that during the Option Period, within a reasonable period of the Holder so requesting, the Company will make available to the Holder the current market price of Shares.

3.7 Share Limit

The Committee must not invite an application for an Option or grant an Option if that would exceed the Share Limit. The Share Limit is exceeded if (disregarding any Share or option for a Share offered or issued to a person situated at the time of receipt of the offer or invitation outside Australia or by way of an offer or invitation which does not need disclosure because of section 708 of the Corporations Act 2001) the aggregate of the following exceeds 5% of the total number of issued Shares:

  • (a) the number of Shares the subject of the Option for which the Committee proposes inviting on application, or which the Committee proposes to grant;

  • (b) the number of Shares which would be issued if all Options were exercised;

  • (c) the number of Shares which would be issued if all other offers or invitations or options to acquire unissued Shares pursuant to this Plan or any other employee share scheme (as defined in the Corporations Act 2001) extended only to employees (excluding directors) of the Company and of any Associated Company were accepted or exercised;

  • (d) the number of Shares issued during the previous 5 years pursuant to this Plan; and

  • (e) the number of Shares issued during the previous 5 years pursuant to any other employee share scheme (as defined in the Corporations Act 2001) extended only to employees (excluding directors) of the Company and of any Associated Company.

4. RENUNCIATION OF INVITATIONS IN FAVOUR OF NOMINEE

Upon receipt of an invitation to apply for Options, a Participant may by notice in writing to the Committee nominate a nominee in whose favour the Participant wishes to renounce the invitation. The Committee may, in its absolute discretion, resolve not to allow such renunciation of the invitation in favour of a nominee without giving any reason for such decision. If the Committee resolves to allow such renunciation of the invitation in favour of a nominee (" Permitted Nominee ") then the Permitted Nominee will be issued Options subject to these Rules and the Participant must, without limiting any provision in these Rules, ensure that the Permitted Nominee complies with these Rules.

5. APPLICATIONS

5.1

Application

A Participant or his Permitted Nominee applying for an Option under an invitation made under clause 3 must on or before the closing date stated in the invitation (or any later date the Company allows for that application only, or for some or all applications):

  • (a) do what is specified in the invitation to apply for the Option; and

  • (b) execute the Acceptance Form, or arrange for the execution of the Acceptance Form on its behalf, and deliver it to the Committee.

5.2 Rules

By accepting the invitation to apply for the Option, the Participant or, if applicable, his Permitted Nominee, agrees to be bound by this Plan.

5.3 Grant and Certificate

Upon receipt of a duly completed Acceptance Form, the Company must:

  • (a) grant the Option to the Participant or his Permitted Nominee; and

  • (b) issue the Holder an Option Certificate for the Option.

6. TRANSFER

6.1

No transfer

Each Option is personal to the Holder and is not transferable, transmissible, assignable or chargeable, except in accordance with clause 6.2 or clause 6.3, or with the prior written consent of the Committee.

6.2 Death or mental incapacity

With the written approval of the Committee which it may give or withhold in its absolute discretion, an Option may (but only at a time permitted by the approval and in accordance with any conditions specified in the approval) be exercised by the legal personal representatives of a Holder who dies before the end of the Option Period or whose estate becomes liable before the end of the Option Period to be dealt with under the laws relating to mental health.

6.3 Termination of Employment

If the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person at any time after the Vesting Period and before the end of the Option Period, the Committee may in its absolute discretion (on any conditions which it thinks fit) decide that the Option held by that Participant (or, where applicable, his Permitted Nominee) does not lapse under clause 7.7(d) but lapses instead at the time and on the conditions it specifies by notice to the Holder. In making a decision under this clause, the Committee may consider any relevant matter (for example, whether the Participant ceased to be an Eligible Person by reason of retirement, ill-health, accident or redundancy).

6.4

No additional rights

The Plan does not give any person any additional rights to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of employment or appointment.

7. EXERCISE

7.1 Exercise

The Holder may exercise an Option only:

  • (a) during an Exercise Period;

  • (b) by doing during that Exercise Period everything required by clause 7.3; and

  • (c) by at the same time either:

  • (i) exercising all the Options which the Holder is then entitled to exercise; or

  • (ii) exercising a number of Options such that the Company will issue a minimum number of Shares that the Committee has determined, or a multiple of that number.

7.2 Other Options

The exercise of an Option does not prevent the exercise of any other Option.

7.3

Notice

To exercise an Option, the Holder must give to the Company a notice specifying that it exercises the Option accompanied by:

  • (a) the Option Certificate; and

  • (b) payment of the full amount of the Exercise Price by cheque made out in favour of the Company.

7.4 Payment

Exercise of an Option is only effective when the Company receives full value for the full amount of the Exercise Price in cleared funds.

7.5 Issue

Not more than 10 Business Days after the exercise of an Option becomes effective, the Company must issue to the Holder the Share the subject of the Option.

  • 7.6

Share issued upon exercise of Option

The Share issued on exercise of an Option:

  • (a) is subject to the constitution of the Company; and

  • (b) ranks equally in every way (including for dividends for which entitlement is determined after the issue) with those then issued fully paid Shares whose holders are entitled to participate in full in any dividend.

7.7 Lapse

Each Option lapses:

  • (a) on exercise of the Option under clause 7.3;

  • (b) if the Option has not been exercised at the end of the Option Period;

  • (c) subject to clause 6.2, if the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person during the Vesting Period;

  • (d) subject to clauses 6.2 and 6.3, if the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person after the Vesting Period and the Participant or, if appropriate, his Permitted Nominee, does not exercise the Option within 30 Business Days after that happens;

  • (e) if the Committee becomes aware of circumstances which, in the reasonable opinion of the Committee indicate that the Participant has acted fraudulently, dishonestly or in a manner which is in breach of his or her obligations to the Company or any Associated Company and the Committee (in its absolute discretion) determines that the Option held by the Participant or, where appropriate, his Permitted Nominee lapses; or

  • (f) if the Company commences to be wound up.

7.8 Balance certificate

If the Holder exercises less than all of the Options in an Option Certificate, the Committee must issue to the Holder an Option Certificate for the remaining Options.

7.9 Listing on ASX

When the Option is exercised, the Company must apply to ASX (and any other stock exchange on which the Shares are quoted) for, and will use its best endeavours to obtain, quotation for the Share to be issued to the Holder on exercise of the Option.

8. ADJUSTMENTS

8.1 Rights/entitlements issues

If after the Vesting Period but during the Option Period of an Option, the Company makes a pro rata offer or invitation to holders of Shares or other securities of the Company or any other entity, the Company must give the Holder notice not less than 9 Business Days before the Record Date to determine entitlements to receive that offer or invitation to enable the Holder to exercise the Option and receive that offer or invitation in respect of the Share issued on exercise of the Option.

8.2

New issues

If after the Vesting Period and before the end of the Option Period the Company gives holders of Shares the right (pro rata with existing shareholdings) to subscribe for additional securities and the Option is not exercised in time to enable the Holder to obtain the Share issued on exercise of the Option with the right to subscribe for additional securities, the Exercise Price of an Option after the issue of those securities is adjusted in accordance with the formula set out in schedule 2.

8.3 Pro rata bonus issues

If during the Option Period the Company makes a pro rata bonus issue to holders of Shares and an Option is not exercised before the Record Date to determine entitlements to that bonus issue, the number of securities to be issued on exercise of the Option is the number of Shares before that bonus issue plus the number of securities which would have been issued to the Holder if the Option had been exercised before that Record Date.

8.4 Sub-division or consolidation

If during the Option Period the Company subdivides or consolidates its Shares, the Options must be subdivided or consolidated (as the case may be) in the same ratio as the Shares and the Exercise Price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.

8.5 Return of capital

If during the Option Period the Company makes a return of capital, the number of Options remains the same, and the Exercise Price of each Option is reduced by the same amount as the amount returned in relation to each Share.

8.6 Cancellation of capital that is lost

If during the Option Period the Company makes a cancellation of any paid up share capital that is lost or not represented by available assets, the number of Options and the Exercise Price of each Option is unaltered.

8.7 Pro rata cancellation of capital

If during the Option Period the Company reduces its issued share capital on a pro rata basis, the number of Options must be reduced in the same ratio as the Shares and the Exercise Price of each Option must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.

8.8 General reorganisation

If during the Option Period the Company reorganises its issued share capital in any way not contemplated by this clause 7, the number of Options or the Exercise Price, or both, must be reorganised so that the Holder will not receive a benefit that holders of Shares do not receive.

8.9 Cumulative adjustments

Each adjustment under clauses 8.1 to 8.8 must be made for every unexercised Option every time the relevant clause applies during the Option Period.

8.10

Rounding

Until an Option is to be exercised, all calculations adjusting the number of Shares or the Exercise Price must be carried out to include all fractions, but on exercise the number of Shares issued is rounded down to the next lower whole number and the Exercise Price rounded up to the next higher cent.

8.11 Notice of adjustment

The Company must give notice to Holders of any adjustment to the number, description or items of security which are to be issued on exercise of an Option or to the Exercise Price, and must do so in accordance with any applicable Listing Rules. This notice may be in the form of a revised Option Certificate.

8.12 Listing Rules

An adjustment must not be made under this clause 8 unless it is consistent with the Listing Rules. The Company may amend the terms of any Option, or the rights of any Holder under this Plan, to comply with the Listing Rules applying at the time to any reorganisation of capital of the Company.

9. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

9.1 Consistency with Trading Rules

If the Company is either (or both) admitted to the Official List of the ASX or a member of CHESS, the following provisions apply (unless the ASX or the SCH waives the relevant Trading Rule in writing).

  • (b) Nothing in this Plan prevents an act being done that the Trading Rules require to be done.

  • (c) If the Trading Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be).

  • (d) If the Trading Rules require this Plan or the terms of the issue of the Options to contain a provision and they do not contain such a provision, this Plan or the terms of issue of the Options (as the case may be) are taken to contain that provision.

  • (e) If the Trading Rules require this Plan or the terms of the issue of the Options not to contain a provision and they contain such a provision, this Plan or the terms of issue of the Options (as the case may be)are taken not to contain that provision.

  • (f) If any provision of this Plan or the terms of the issue of the Options are or become inconsistent with the Trading Rules, this Plan or the terms of issue of the Options (as the case may be) are taken not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.

9.2

By the Committee

Subject to clause 9.4, the Committee may by resolution:

  • (a) amend this Plan or all or any of the rights or obligations of the Participants or Holders; and

  • (b) formulate (and subsequently amend) special terms and conditions, in addition to those set out in this Plan, to apply to Participants or Holders who are employed in, resident in, or citizens of, a particular jurisdiction.

9.3 Hardship

9.4

Listing Rules
