E X P L A N A T O R Y S T A T E M E N T

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. BACKGROUND TO PLACEMENT

On 6 December 2024, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from new and existing institutional, professional and sophisticated investors to raise approximately $4.1 million via the issue of 63,846,154 Shares at an issue price of $0.065 ( Placement ).

The Placement will be conducted in two tranches, comprising:

  • (a) the first tranche of 58,076,923 Shares which were issued utilising the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (being the subject of Resolutions 1 and 2); and

  • (b) the second tranche of 5,769,230 Shares to be issued, subject to Shareholder approval, as follows:

  • (i) 76,923 Shares to Mr Jake Russell (or his nominee(s)) (the subject of Resolution 3);

  • (ii) 1,307,692 Shares to Mr Mark Hepburn (or his nominee(s)) (the subject of Resolution 4);

  • (iii) 153,846 Shares to Mr Michael Poepjes (or his nominee(s)) (the subject of Resolution 5); and

  • (iv) 4,230,769 Shares to Mr Peter Cook (or his nominee(s)) (the subject of Resolution 6).

Canaccord Genuity Limited and Blue Ocean Equities Pty Limited acted as joint lead managers and joint bookrunners to the Placement ( Joint Lead Managers ).

Funds raised under the Placement will be applied towards:

  • (a) drilling six exploration diamond drill holes into high priority exploration targets;

  • (b) Ambient Noise Tomography (Passive Seismic) Surveys in the Rover Mineral Field;

  • (c) advancing the Rover 1 Project Bankable Feasibility Study including water studies, social impact studies and waste treatment studies;

  • (d) Pilot Plant Testing;

  • (e) general working capital requirements; and

  • (f) costs of the Placement.

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES – LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

2.1 General

These Resolutions seek Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of an aggregate of 58,076,923 Shares at an issue price of $0.065 per Share to raise $3,775,000.

33,886,681 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1) and 24,190,242 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A (being the subject of Resolution 2).

2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

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 12 month period.

6

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 increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 21 November 2024.

The issue 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 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

2.3

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.

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.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If these Resolutions are passed, the issue 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 the issue.

If these Resolutions are not passed, the issue 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 the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

Mark Hepburn (Resolution 4) 1,307,692 $85,000
Michael Poepjes (Resolution 5) 153,846 $10,000
Peter Cook (Resolution 6) 4,230,769 $275,000
TOTAL 5,769,230 $375,000

3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issues constitute giving a financial benefit and Directors Jake Russell, Mark Hepburn, Michael Poepjes and Peter Cook are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors (other than Mr Russell who has a material personal interest in Resolution 3) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue the subject of Resolution 3 because the Shares will be issued to Mr Russell (or his nominee(s)) on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

8

The Directors (other than Mr Hepburn who has a material personal interest in Resolution 4) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue the subject of Resolution 4 because the Shares will be issued to Mr Hepburn (or his nominee(s)) on the same terms as Shares issued to nonrelated party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

The Directors (other than Mr Poepjes who has a material personal interest in Resolution 5) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue the subject of Resolution 5 because the Shares will be issued to Mr Poepjes (or his nominee(s)) on the same terms as Shares issued to nonrelated party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

The Directors (other than Mr Cook who has a material personal interest in Resolution 6) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue the subject of Resolution 6 because the Shares will be issued to Mr Cook (or his nominee(s)) on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

3.3

Listing Rule 10.11

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:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The 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.

3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issues 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) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1 above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issues (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issues will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issues and no funds will be raised in respect of the Shares that would have otherwise been issued to the Directors.

These Resolutions are independent of one another. If one or more of the Resolutions is not carried, and one or more of the other Resolutions are passed, then the Board may still proceed with the issue of the Shares to the Directors in respect of which the issue of Shares has been approved.

4. RESOLUTION 7 – ADOPTION OF INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS AND OPTIONS PLAN

4.1 General

This Resolution seeks approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Incentive Performance Rights and Options Plan” ( Plan ) and for approval for purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) for the issue of a maximum of 30,574,858 Securities under the Plan.

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees, contractors and other persons who provide services to the Company, and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of Securities under the Plan will provide these parties with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

4.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s

12

notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

4.3 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any Securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of Securities stated in Section 4.4 below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Securities under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of Securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the Securities.

4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

REQUIRED INFORMATION DETAILS
Terms of the Plan A summary of the material terms and conditions of the
Plan is set out in Schedule 1.
Number of Securities

the Plan

plan titled “Incentive Performance Rights and Options
Plan” which was approved by Shareholders on 24

The Company has not issued any Securities under the
Plan the subject of this Resolution as this is the first time
that Shareholder approval is being sought for the
adoption of this Plan.
Maximum number of
Securities proposed to be
issued under the Plan
The maximum number of Securities proposed to be
issued under the Plan in reliance on to Listing Rule 7.2
(Exception 13), following Shareholder approval, is
30,574,858 Securities. It is not envisaged that the
maximum number of Securities for which approval is
sought will be issued immediately.
The Company may also seek Shareholder approval
under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of
Securities under the Plan to a related party or a person
whose relationship with the Company or the related
party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be
obtained.

5. RESOLUTIONS 8 AND 9 – ISSUE OF INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS

5.1 General

13

These Resolutions seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights.

The Company has agreed to issue the Incentive Performance Rights to Messrs Hepburn and Poepjes as follows:

5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 3.2 above.

The issues constitute giving a financial benefit and each of the proposed recipients is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Hepburn) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue the subject of Resolution 8, because the agreement to issue the Incentive Performance Rights, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Hepburn, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

The Directors (other than Mr Poepjes) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue the subject of Resolution 9, because the agreement to issue the Incentive Performance Rights, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Poepjes, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

5.3 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:

  • 10.14.1 a director of the entity;

  • 10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or

  • 10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.

14

The issues fall within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore require the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If these Resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issues within three years 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 (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issues will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If either of these Resolutions are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue to the relevant Director under the Plan and the Company may need to consider alternative forms of remuneration for that Director.

These Resolutions are independent of one another. If either Resolution is not carried, and the other Resolution is passed, then the Board may still proceed with the issue to the Director in respect of which the issue of Incentive Performance Rights has been approved, subject to Resolution 7 being passed.

Rights to Messrs Hepburn and Poepjes will align
the interests of the recipient with those of
Shareholders;

opportunity costs to the Company or benefits

incentives to attract and ensure continuity of

6. RESOLUTION 10 – REPLACEMENT OF CONSTITUTION

6.1 General

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of shareholders.

This Resolution is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution ( Proposed Constitution ) which is of the type required for a listed public company limited by shares updated to ensure it reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.

This will incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules since the current Constitution was adopted on 24 November 2022.

The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions.

Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature and the Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. A summary of the proposed material changes is set out in Section 6.2 below.

17

A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website www.castile.com.au and at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (+61 8 6318 4600). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

6.2 Summary of material proposed changes

Rotation of Directors
(Clauses 15.2 and
15.4)
The Proposed Constitution includes an amendment to the
rotation of Directors clause, which complies with the Listing
Rules, but imparts less onerous rotation obligations for the
Company to follow.
Initial Fees to Non-
Executive Directors
(Clause 15.8)
The Proposed Constitution contains slightly amended wording
to more accurately reflect the carve-outs provided for in
Listing Rule 10.17 which stipulates that a listed company must
not increase the total aggregate amount of directors’ fees
payable to all of its non-executive directors without the
approval of ordinary shareholders.
Notices (Clause
27.1)
The Proposed Constitution contains additional wording to
clarify how notices can be sent by post and electronically.

6.3 Insertion of partial (proportional) takeover provisions

Overview A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer
made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that
shareholder’s shares.
Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, an entity
may include a provision in its constitution whereby a
proportional takeover bid for shares may only proceed after
the bid has been approved by a meeting of shareholders held
in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.
In accordance with section 648G(1) of the Corporations Act,
such clause will cease to apply at the end of three years from
the incorporation of the Company, insertion of the clause or
renewal of the clause (as appropriate) unless otherwise
specified. When this clause ceases to apply, the constitution
will be modified by omitting the clause.
A company may renew its proportional takeover approval
provisions in the same manner in which a company can
modify
its
constitution
(i.e.,
by
special
resolution
of
shareholders).
This Resolution will enable the Company to modify its
Constitution by re-inserting proportional takeover provisions
into the Proposed Constitution in the form of clause 37.
Effect of proposed
proportional
takeover provisions
Where offers have been made under a proportional off-
market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the
registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting
from the acceptance of an offer made under such a
proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a
Resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is
passed.
Reasons for
proportional
takeover provisions
A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the
Company
changing
without
Shareholders
having
the
opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial
bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by
acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are
exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company
and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the
Company without payment of an adequate control premium.
These amendedprovisions allow Shareholders to decide

18

whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in
principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is
appropriately priced.
Knowledge of any
acquisition
proposals
As at the date of this Notice, no Director is aware of any
proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent
of, a substantial interest in the Company.
Potential
advantages and
disadvantages of
proportional
takeover provisions
The Directors consider that the proportional takeover
provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for
them and that they remain free to make a recommendation
on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should
be accepted.
The potential advantages of the proportional takeover
provisions for Shareholders include:
(a)
the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer
under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;
(b)
assisting in preventing Shareholders from being
locked in as a minority;
(c)
increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders
which may assist in ensuring that any proportional
takeover bid is adequately priced; and
(d)
each individual Shareholder may better assess the
likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by
knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders
which may assist in deciding whether to accept or
reject an offer under the takeover bid.
The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover
provisions for Shareholders include:
(a)
proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;
(b)
lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a
premium; and
(c)
the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid
succeeding may be reduced.
Recommendation of
the Board
The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages
outweigh
the
potential
advantages
of
adopting
the
proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that
the
proportional
takeover
provision
in
the
Proposed
Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously
recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as defined in
the Corporations Act) and has been determined by the Board to be
eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
Purpose The purpose of the Plan is to:
(a)
assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible
Participants;
(b)
link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value
creation; and
(c)
align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the
Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies
Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants
to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of
securities.
Maximum number of
securities
The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which involves
monetary consideration if the number of Shares that may be issued, or
acquired upon exercise of Options or Performance Rights offered under
an invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that
may be issued as a result of all invitations under the Plan during the 3
year period ending on the day of the invitation, will exceed 5% of the
total number of issued Shares at the date of the invitation (unless the
Constitution specifies a different percentage and subject to any limits
approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) – refer
to Resolution 7 and Section 4.1.
Clause 2.5 of the Company’s Constitution specifies an issue cap of 10%
for the purposes of section 1100V(2) of the Corporations Act.
Plan administration The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any
power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and
absolute discretion (except to the extent that it prevents the Participant
relying on the deferred tax concessions under Subdivision 83A-C of the
Income Tax Assessment Act 1997(Cth)). The Board may delegate its
powers and discretion.
Eligibility, invitation
and application
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant
may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible
Participant to apply for any (or any combination of) Options and
Performance Rights provided under the Plan on such terms and
conditions as the Board decides.
On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the
Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed
application form to the Company. The Board may accept an
application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.
If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible
Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in
whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.
Grant of securities The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed
application, grant the Participant the relevant number and type of
securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the
Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

22

Rights attaching to

(b)
is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a meeting
of the shareholders of the Company;
(c)

collateralise a margin loan against, utilise for the purposes of short selling,
enter into a derivative with reference to, or otherwise deal with an
Option or a Performance Right that has been granted to them. A
Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of
hedging their economic exposure to an Option or a Performance Right
that has been granted to them.
However, in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan (including
in the case of death or total or permanent disability of the Participant) a
Participant may deal with convertible securities granted to them under
the Plan with the consent of the Board.
Vesting of
convertible
Securities
Any vesting conditions applicable to the Options or Performance Rights
will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied
and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to
the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant
Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the
Company, the relevant Securities will not be considered to have vested.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to an
Option or Performance Right are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived
by the Board, that security will lapse.
Forfeiture of
convertible
Securities
Options and Performance Rights will be forfeited in the following
circumstances:
(a)
where a Participant who holds Options or Performance Rights
ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer employed
or their office or engagement is discontinued with the Group),
all unvested convertible securities will automatically be
forfeited by the Participant;
(b)
where a Participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly,negligently,
in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully breaches their
duties to the Group;
(c)
where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in
accordance with the Plan;
(d)
on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or
(e)
on the expiry date of the Options or Performance Rights.
Listing of convertible
Securities
An Option or a Performance Right granted under the Plan will not be
quoted on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. The Board
reserves the right in its absolute discretion to apply for quotation of an
Option granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised
exchange.
Exercise of
convertible
Securities and
cashless exercise
To exercise a security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of
exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise (see next paragraph below),
pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any
time following vesting of the Option or Performance Right (if subject to
vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation
or vesting notice.

23

An invitation to apply for Options may specify that at the time of exercise
of the Options, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide
payment of the exercise price for the number of Options specified in a
notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Options the Company
will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in
value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares
at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be
payable to exercise those Options.
Market Valuemeans, at any given date, the volume weighted average
price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately
preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.
An Option or a Performance Right may not be exercised unless and until
that security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier
date as set out in the Plan rules.
Timing of issue of
Shares and
quotation of Shares
on exercise
Within 5 business days after the valid exercise of an Option or a
Performance Right by a Participant, the Company will issue, allocate or
cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which
the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute
certificate for any remaining unexercised Securities held by that Participant.
Restriction periods
and restrictions on
transfer of Shares on
exercise
If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid exercise of
an Option or a Performance Right are subject to any restrictions as to the
disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may
implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the
compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
Additionally, Shares issued on exercise of the Options or Performance
Rights Securities are subject to the following restrictions:
(a)
if the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice
that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act,

may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the
Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus
pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act;
(b)
all Shares issued on exercise of the Options or Performance
Rights are subject to restrictions imposed by applicable law on
dealing in Shares by persons who possess material information
likely to affect the value of the Shares and which is not generally
available; and
(c)
all Shares issued on exercise of the Options or Performance
Rights are subject to the terms of the Company’s Securities
Trading Policy.
Adjustment of
convertible
securities
If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company
(including
any
subdivision,
consolidation,
reduction,
return
or
cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each
Participant holding Options or Performance Rights will be changed to
the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a
reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an
issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of
Options or Performance Rights is entitled, upon exercise of those securities,
to receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been issued
to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in
respect of which the Options or Performance Rights are exercised.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Options or
Performance Rights does not have the right to participate in a pro rata
issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
Rights attaching to
Shares on exercise
All Shares issued upon exercise of Options or Performance Rights will rank
equally in all respects with the then Shares of the Company.

24

Change of control If a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any
person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50%
of the Company’s issued capital), the Board may in its discretion
determine the manner in which any or all of the holder’s Options or
Performance Rights will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a
manner that allows the holder to participate in and/or benefit from any
transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control
event. The Board may specify in the Invitation how the Options or
Performance Rights will be treated on a change of control event
occurring, or the Board determining that such event is likely to occur,
which may vary depending upon circumstances in which the Participant
becomes a leaver and preserve some or all of the Board’s discretion
under this rule.

If the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that
complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares issued

Shares and which is not generally available. These laws may restrict the

such information.

Performance Right shall be subject to the terms of the Company’s
Securities Trading Policy.

Amendment of Plan Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend
any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms
and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the
Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given
retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the
amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they
existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment
introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to
correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in
writing by all Participants.
Plan duration The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The
Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a
fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is
terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension
must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing
that some or all of the securities granted to that Participant are to be
cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular
event, then those securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed
between the Company and the Participant.
