the Remuneration Report or a Closely Related Party of such
member, regardless of the capacity in which the vote is cast; or
by any person who is a KMP member at the time the resolution is
voted on at the Meeting, or a Closely Related Party of such
member, as a proxy.
However, this does not apply to a vote cast by an Excluded Person as
a proxy if the vote is cast on behalf of a person who is not excluded
from voting on Resolution 1 and either:
the Excluded Person is appointed as a proxy in writing that
specifies the way the proxy is to vote on this Resolution; or
the Excluded Person is the Chair who has been appointed as a
proxy for a person entitled to vote on this Resolution, and the
appointment of the Chair as proxy:
• does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on this
Resolution; and
• expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy
even though this Resolution is connected directly or
indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the
KMP.
Resolution 5 – Approval of grant of share rights to Mr Daniel
Bracken under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan
Votes may not be cast and the Company will disregard any votes cast

capacity in which those votes are cast; or
by any person who is a KMP member at the time the resolution is

However, this does not apply to a vote cast by:
a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote
on the Resolution, in accordance with directions given to the
proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way;
the Chair as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote

connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP
member; or
a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other
fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the
following conditions are met:
• the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the
holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting,
and is not an associate of a person excluded from

a proxy if they are appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is
to vote on Resolution 6 and the vote is cast on behalf of a person who

Further, because this is a resolution directly or indirectly connected

the Corporations Act, a person appointed as a proxy must not vote, on
the basis of that appointment, on Resolution 6 if:
the proxy is either a KMP member or a Closely Related Party of
such member; and
the appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on
this Resolution.
However, the above prohibition does not apply if:
the proxy is the Chair; and
the appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the
proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or
indirectly with remuneration of a KMP member.

The purpose of Resolution 5 is to seek shareholder approval for the
issue of 1,986,468 share rights to Daniel Bracken, being a Director of

Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, a listed company must not permit a
Director to acquire equity securities (including share rights) under an
employee incentive scheme without shareholder approval.
The Company’s Equity Incentive Plan was approved at the 2023
Annual General Meeting held on 14 November 2023. Accordingly, if
Resolution 5 is approved by shareholders, the Company will be able
to grant the share rights the subject of the resolution to Mr Bracken
under the Equity Incentive Plan, and the issue of the share rights will
not count towards the Company's 15% placement capacity under
Listing Rule 7.1.
A voting exclusion statement for Resolution 5 is included in the Notice
that accompanies these Explanatory Notes.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act – Related Party Provisions
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from
giving a financial benefit to a related party of the company unless
either:
a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the
exceptions to the provision, including where the benefit is
remuneration to a related party as an officer or employee of
the public company and to give the remuneration would be
reasonable given the circumstances of the public company
and the related party’s circumstances (including the
responsibilities involved in the office or employment); or
b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the
financial benefit.
The Directors (excluding Mr Daniel Bracken) consider the share rights
proposed to be granted under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan to
be reasonable remuneration given the circumstances of the Group
and Mr Bracken’s responsibilities as Managing Director and Chief
Executive Officer (CEO), such that shareholder approval is not
required under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15
For the purposes of the approval sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.14,
the following additional information is provided about the proposed
issue of share rights under the Company's Equity Incentive Plan:
(a) Approval is sought to grant 1,986,468 share rights to the
Company’s Managing Director & CEO, Mr Daniel Bracken;
(b) Mr Bracken is a current director of the Company and is entitled
to participate in the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan. He falls
under the category of persons in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1;
(c) If this Resolution is approved, Mr Bracken will be issued
1,986,468 share rights, calculated as 95% of the fixed
component of Mr Bracken’s remuneration (see subclause (d)
below) divided by the VWAP of shares in the Company traded
over the 10 ASX trading days immediately following the release of
the Company’s FY24 financial statements, being $0.5352. Each
share right entitles the holder to acquire one fully paid ordinary
share in the Company if certain Performance Conditions are
met. If the Performance Conditions are satisfied, upon exercise
of the share rights, each share issued on conversion of a share
right will be issued on the same terms as ordinary fully paid
shares in the Company.
(d) Details of Mr Bracken’s maximum total current remuneration
package are set out below. Further details of Mr Bracken’s
remuneration arrangements can be found in the Company’s
Remuneration Report.
Fixed remuneration (salary
including superannuation)
$1,119,113
Maximum short term
incentive opportunity (on
target component)*
$514,792 (46% of his
Fixed remuneration)*
Maximum short term

Fixed remuneration)*
Maximum long term incentive
opportunity*

Fixed remuneration)*
*actual incentive paid (if any) is subject to satisfaction of
certain performance and other conditions
(e) The Company’s Equity Incentive Plan was approved at the 2023
AGM held on 14 November 2023. Details of all securities
previously issued to Mr. Bracken under the Equity Incentive Plan
are set out below:
Date Number of

In addition to the above, it is noted that 2,020,831 share
rights have previously been granted to Mr Bracken (in his
capacity as Managing Director) under the Company’s
former employee incentive plan. Mr Bracken’s interest in
the Company’s securities as at the date of this Notice are
set out below:
Fully paid ordinary shares in the
Company
2,936,318
Share rights (excluding the share
rights the subject of this
Resolution 5)
2,735,601
(f) A summary of the material terms of the share rights is set out in
Annexure 1. Share rights have been chosen by the Board to
reward and attract executive talent because they create
alignment with the interests of shareholders. In addition, share
rights are simple to understand, likely to be highly valued by
executives (and therefore retentive and incentivising) and are
designed to attract, retain and reward high performance.
(g) If shareholder approval is given, the share rights will be granted
to Mr Bracken shortly after the Meeting and in any event within 12
months of the Meeting. If shareholders do not approve the
proposed grant of share rights, the Board will consider
alternative performance-based incentive remuneration
arrangements for Mr Bracken, with regard to the Company’s
executive remuneration policy and framework, and strategic and
operational imperatives.
(h) No issue or exercise price is payable for share rights.
Accordingly, no funds are raised from the issue or conversion of
share rights to Mr Bracken.
(i) Annexure 2 contains a summary of the material terms of the
Company’s Equity Incentive Plan.
(j) No loans will be made to Mr Bracken in relation to the issue of
the share rights.
(k) Details of any share rights and any subsequent issue of fully paid
ordinary shares under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan will
be published in the Company’s Annual Report relating to the
period in which they were issued. A statement will also be
included in the Company's Annual Report that approval for the
issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 for all share
rights granted to Mr Bracken since his appointment as a Director
of the Company.
(l) At the date of this Notice, Mr Bracken is the only Director eligible
to participate in the Company’s Equity Inventive Plan. Any
additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who
become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the
Plan after Resolution 5 is approved and who were not named in
the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under
that Listing Rule.
(m) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice in respect
of this resolution.
Recommendation
The Board considers that the proposed grant of share rights under the
Equity Incentive Plan for FY25 (which forms part of Mr Bracken’s total
remuneration package) is reasonable and appropriate having regard
to the Company’s circumstances, business performance,
remuneration objectives, and his duties and responsibilities.
The Board (other than Mr Bracken) recommends that shareholders
vote FOR Resolution 5.
Item 8: Approval of a related party transaction to loan
funds to Mr. Daniel Bracken (Resolution 6)
Background
The Company has established the Equity Incentive Plan which
provides for the issue of share rights to Executives and other
employees as part of its remuneration framework. Each share right
permits the holder to be issued one fully paid ordinary share in the
Company subject to satisfaction of specified performance and other
conditions attached to the share rights over a specified performance
period.
On the dates described below, the Group’s Managing Director & CEO,
Mr. Daniel Bracken was granted share rights as part of his annual
remuneration package for financial years 2019 (FY19) to 2021 (FY21).
Each parcel of share rights was subject to a three-year performance
period and satisfaction of an earnings per share and/or total
shareholder return performance hurdle. In addition, in financial year
2022 (FY22), the Company granted Mr. Bracken under the Equity
Incentive Plan share rights in lieu of the Company paying him the
outperformance component of his FY22 short term incentive in cash.
The performance hurdles (where applicable) and other conditions
attached to the shares rights were satisfied so the share rights vested
and were validly exercised, resulting in shares in the Company being
issued to Mr. Bracken (Resulting Shares).
These share rights were granted, and the Resulting Shares were
issued, under the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan) that was in
place at the time the share rights were granted. The Equity Incentive
Plan superseded the LTI Plan following approval at the Company’s
2023 Annual General Meeting.

Taxation of the Resulting Shares
Under Australian income tax legislation, shares provided to an
individual as part of their remuneration package are taxable at the
date that the share rights vest. The table below summarises the tax
impact of the issue of the Resulting Shares relative to the current price
of shares in the Company, assuming:
• taxation at the 47% personal income tax rate;
• ‘current price of shares in the Company’ of $0.55, being the
VWAP of shares in the Company over the 10 ASX trading days
ending on 6 September 2024.

**The FY22 STI Shares are included in Mr. Bracken’s FY24 tax return as
they vest during a blackout period under the Company’s Trading
Policy and therefore are included in the taxation year in which they
were issued.
The ‘Value at Vesting’ of the Resulting Shares is treated as income for
the purposes of Mr. Bracken’s financial year 2024 (FY24) income tax
return which results in the Estimate Tax Liability for each share issue
set out above. The Estimate Tax Liability (total $1,109,782.51) must
be declared in Mr. Bracken’s personal tax return for FY24 which is due
on or before 31 May 2025.
At the assumed ‘current price of shares in the Company’, Mr. Bracken
needs to sell a significant portion of the shares which he holds in the
Company to fund the tax liability associated with their issue, in the
absence of other funding sources.
Resolution 6 seeks approval for the Company to provide an unsecured
loan of up to $1,100,000 (Loan) to Mr. Daniel Bracken for a period of
three (3) years to be utilised to fund the tax liability arising in relation
to the issue of the Resulting Shares.
Chapter 2E Approval
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:
• obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the
manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act;
and
• 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.
For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, financial
benefit is defined broadly and includes giving a financial benefit
directly or indirectly.
The provision of the Loan constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to
Mr Bracken, who is a related party of the Company by virtue of him
being a Director. As such, shareholder approval is required for the
Company to provide the Loan, unless an exception applies.
Arm’s-length exception
Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that member approval is
not required to give a financial benefit that:
(a) would be reasonable in the circumstances if the public
company or entity and the related party were dealing at arm's
length; or
(b) are less favourable to the related party than the terms referred to
in paragraph (a) above.
Whilst Mr Bracken will pay interest under the Loan, the Directors
(other than Mr. Bracken) are of the view that the terms of the Loan are
not on arm’s length terms, and therefore are seeking shareholder
approval to provide the Loan to Mr Bracken for the purposes of
section 208 of the Corporations Act.
Information required by section 219 of the Corporations Act
For the purposes of section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following
additional information is provided in relation to the proposed Loan to
Mr. Bracken.
The related party is Mr. Daniel Bracken who has been appointed as a
Director of the Company since 28 June 2021. The Company will loan
up to $1,100,000 to Mr. Bracken to fund the tax liability arising in
relation to the issue of the Resulting Shares. The Company and Mr.
Bracken will enter into a Loan Agreement in relation to the provision of
the Loan (Loan Agreement). The key terms of the Loan Agreement
will be:
• Term: 36 months;
• Security: the Loan will be unsecured however if, during the term
of the Loan Mr Bracken sells shares in the Company, the net
proceeds of the sale of any such shares in the Company must be
paid to the Company to be applied to reduce the outstanding
amount of the Loan;
• Use of Loan funds: the Loan must only be used to pay the tax
liability arising in relation to the issue of the Resulting Shares and
not for any other purpose;
• Interest Rate: the interest rate is a variable rate calculated as
the 90-day Bank Bill Swap rate (BBSW) on the date of drawdown
of the Loan plus a margin of 3% (rounded to 2 decimal spaces).
The BBSW rate is published on the ASX website at
www.asx.com.au. The interest rate is reviewed at the beginning
of each Quarter during the term of the Loan and adjusted based
on the 90-day BBSW on the first business day of the relevant
Quarter. As at 16 September 2024, the Interest Rate applicable
to the Loan would be 7.42%.
This Interest Rate is substantially similar to the average interest
rate payable by the Company under its finance facility, ensuring
that the interest cost incurred by the Company to provide the
Loan is substantially similar to the interest paid by Mr. Bracken;
• Payment of Interest: the Loan will be on an interest-only basis
with interest payable monthly. The Company may set off any
monthly payment due under the Loan Agreement from Mr.
Bracken’s monthly remuneration payment;
• Voluntary Prepayment: Mr Bracken may prepay the Loan in part
or in full at any time prior to the expiry of the Term with no
penalty. Funds prepaid may not be reborrowed.
• Default Interest Rate: If Mr. Bracken fails to pay any amount
due under the Loan Agreement, then a default interest rate of 3%
above the prevailing interest rate payable on the Loan will apply
until the outstanding amount has been paid in full.
• Event of Default and Consequences: The Loan Agreement
provides for various ‘Events of Default’ typical for this type of
loan arrangement. If an Event of Default occurs the Company
may by notice in writing to Mr. Bracken, make the Loan repayable
within 60 days of the date of such notice.
• Termination of Employment: If Mr Bracken’s employment is
terminated for any reason he must repay the Loan in full within
90 days of the date of termination of his employment.
The Company intends to advance the Loan utilising a combination of
cash reserves and the Company’s existing finance facility. The
Company will incur additional costs in providing the Loan including
advisor fees (legal, accounting, tax) estimated to be approximately
$3,000.
The Company will also incur a fringe benefit tax liability calculated on
the difference between the benchmark ATO interest rate and the
interest rate payable by the Company on the Loan. This is estimated
to be no more than $50,000 over the term of the Loan.
Except as set out above, no additional fees would be required to be
expensed by the Company in future years following the provision of
the Loan.
Accordingly, the financial benefit to Mr. Bracken under Resolution 6 is
the provision of a loan of up to $1,100,000 to pay the tax liability
arising in relation to the issue of the Resulting Shares.
The Company can advance the Loan funds under the terms of the
Group’s finance facility and, is satisfied that funding the Loan amount
Proposed loan by the Company to Mr. Bracken (Resolution 6)
will not cause the Company to breach any of the financial covenants
applicable to the finance facility.
Assuming shareholder approval is obtained under this Resolution 6
and any other consent is obtained, the Company intends to provide
the Loan in the second half of financial year 2025 (ahead of Mr.
Bracken’s tax return being due) and, in any event, no later than 15
months after the Meeting is held.
Details of Mr. Bracken’s current remuneration package are set out in
Item 7 paragraph (d) of the Explanatory Notes. Paragraph (e) of Item 7
of the Explanatory Notes outlines Mr. Bracken’s interests in the
Company’s securities.
Resolution 6: Director Recommendation
Other than Mr. Bracken, none of the other Directors have an interest in
the outcome of Resolution 6 or the Loan. The Directors (excluding Mr.
Bracken) each recommend shareholders vote in favour of Resolution
6 for the following reasons:
(a) The Equity Incentive Plan’s objective is to reward and incentivise
Executives to deliver sustainable, long-term growth, thereby
aligning the Executives’ interests with those of the Company and
its shareholders. The significant tax liability incurred by Mr
Bracken in relation to the issue of the Resulting Shares,
combined with low trading volumes in the Company’s shares
and trading restrictions imposed by the Company’s Trading
Policy, has created an unintended outcome which significantly
impacts the personal financial circumstances of Mr Bracken,
and his ongoing performance as CEO of the Group. The
Directors (excluding Mr Bracken) are of the view that it is in the
best interests of the Group that the Company rectify this
unintended outcome by assisting Mr Bracken to fund the tax
liability arising in relation to the Resulting Shares, ensuring he
remains wholly focussed on leading the Group as Managing
Director and CEO.
(b) Furthermore, by providing a Loan to Mr. Bracken, he can retain
his interest in the Resulting Shares which has a strong retentive
affect and ensures his interests remain closely aligned with the
interests of the Company and its shareholders.
(c) The Loan is being provided for a term of three (3) years allowing
Mr. Bracken sufficient time, if required, to sell a portion of the
Resulting Shares to fund the repayment of the Loan. The three
(3) year term ensures that if he needs to sell any of his shares in
the Company to repay the Loan he is able to do this in an orderly
manner taking into account trading restrictions under the
Company’s Trading Policy and potential illiquid trading in the
Company’s shares.
(d) Mr Bracken is required to pay interest on the Loan at a rate which
is substantially similar to the average rate payable by the
Company under the terms of the Group’s finance facility,
ensuring the interest cost incurred by the Company in providing
the Loan is paid by Mr. Bracken.
Whist there are risks associated with repayment of the Loan and
enforcement due to the unsecured nature of the Loan, particularly if
the price of the Company’s shares drop during the time the Loan is
advanced and the time the Loan is due for repayment, the Directors
(excluding Mr. Bracken) are of the view that the three (3) year term of
the Loan is sufficient time to enable Mr. Bracken to manage the sale of
shares in the Company to fund the repayment of the Loan or, seek
alternate funding to repay the Loan.
In forming their recommendations, each Director also considered
other options available to the Company to assist Mr. Bracken with the
payment of the tax liability arising in relation to the issue of the
Resulting Shares. This included selling the Resulting Shares on-
market, a broker assisted third-party purchase of the Resulting Shares
or a purchase of some or all the Resulting Shares by the Employee
Share Trust.
As noted above, it will be difficult for Mr. Bracken to sell the Resulting
Shares on market in a relatively short amount of time due to the
trading restrictions which the Company’s Trading Policy places on
him as well as the lack of liquidity with regards to the tradable market
for the Company’s shares. As an example, the average daily trading
volumes of shares in the Company over the 90-day period prior to the
date of this Notice was approximately 190,000 shares. Selling a
volume of shares equivalent to the Resulting Shares in a short period
of time may lead to erratic trading in the Company’s shares which is
not in the best interests of the Company or existing shareholders.
Similarly, feedback from brokers in relation to a third-party purchase
was that the sale of a volume of shares equivalent to the Resulting
Shares would be difficult given current low investor sentiment for
shares in retail businesses as well as the relative lack of liquidity with
regards to the tradable market for the Company’s shares.
The Company also considered a purchase of some or all of the
Resulting Shares by the Employee Share Trust. However, such share
purchases may not be permitted under the terms of the Group’s
finance facility and, would have the effect of significantly reducing Mr
Bracken’s shareholding in the Group, which is at odds with the
objective of the Group’s LTI scheme. Therefore, the Directors (other
than Mr. Bracken) determined that it was in the best interests of the
Company to provide the Loan to Mr. Bracken to fund the tax liability
arising in relation to the issue of the Resulting Shares.
If shareholder approval for the Loan is not obtained under this
Resolution 6 then Mr. Bracken will need to seek alternative options to
fund the tax liability arising in relation to the issue of the Resulting
Shares. As noted above, the objective of the Group’s LTI scheme is to
incentivise and retain the CEO and align his interests with those of the
Company and shareholders. This would be undermined if he were
required to sell his shares in the Company at an accelerated rate to
comply with the Company’s Trading Policy, and negatively impact the
market for the Company’s shares.
Except as described above, each of the Directors (excluding Mr.
Bracken) does not consider there are significant opportunity costs to
the Company, or benefits forgone by the Company, in the Company
providing the Loan on the terms proposed.
Each of the Directors (excluding Mr. Bracken) is not aware of any other
information that would reasonably be required by shareholders to
allow them to decide whether it is in the best interests of the
shareholders to pass this Resolution 6.

Definitions
In this Notice and the Explanatory Notes:
ANNEXURE 1: SUMMARY OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF SHARE RIGHTS
Number of share rights
proposed to be granted
If shareholder approval is obtained, Mr Bracken will be granted 1,986,468 share rights under the Equity Incentive Plan for
FY25, calculated as 95% of the fixed component of Mr Bracken’s remuneration (annual salary plus superannuation)
divided by the VWAP of shares in the Company over the 10 ASX trading days following the release of the Company’s FY24
financial statements ($0.5352).
50% of share rights are allocated to an earnings per share (EPS) performance hurdle (EPS Share Rights) and 50% of
share rights are allocated to a total shareholder return (TSR) performance hurdle (TSR Share Rights). The EPS Share
Rights and the TSR Share rights are subject to performance hurdles (described below).
Performance period
and vesting
The performance period is three (3) years, commencing 1 July 2024 and ending the date that is the end of the Company’s
2027 financial year.
The number of share rights that vest will depend on how well the Company has performed during the performance period
against the relevant performance hurdles. For outstanding performance in relation to each hurdle, 100% of the relevant
share rights will vest. Only a percentage of share rights will vest for performance below that level. If the Company does
not achieve a specified minimum threshold for each performance hurdle, all of the share rights applicable to that hurdle
will lapse so that no share rights vest.
Further information regarding the vesting schedule for the TSR Share Rights and EPS Share Rights is set out below.
EPS Performance
hurdle and vesting
schedule
The EPS Share Rights are subject to the EPS Performance hurdle. The EPS Performance hurdle requires the achievement
of a minimum CAGR in the Company’s normalised EPS over the performance period. If the EPS does not reach that
minimum rate over the performance period, the EPS Share Rights lapse.
Why EPS?
The EPS Performance hurdle was chosen to ensure alignment between incentivising executives and long-term
shareholder value creation and because it reflects the underlying profitability of the business.
Vesting schedule
The table below sets out the percentage of EPS Share Rights subject to the EPS Performance hurdle that can vest
depending on the Company’s EPS performance:
EPS compound annual growth rate (‘CAGR’) % EPS Share Rights vesting
Less than 20% CAGR Nil
Between 20% CAGR and <30% CAGR 10% vesting for each 1% increase in CAGR performance
Equal to or above 30% CAGR 100%
When determining normalised EPS, statutory earnings is adopted as the base and the Board adjusts for any unusual
items.
TSR Performance
hurdle and vesting
schedule
The TSR Share Rights are subject to the TSR Performance hurdle. The TSR Performance hurdle requires the achievement
of a minimum positive absolute TSR over the performance period. If the TSR does not reach that minimum rate over the
performance period, the TSR Share Rights lapse.
Why a TSR?
The TSR hurdle was chosen to ensure alignment between incentivising executives and long-term shareholder value
creation.
Vesting schedule
The table below sets out the percentage of TSR Share Rights subject to the TSR Performance hurdle that can vest
depending on the Company’s TSR performance:
TSR compound annual growth rate (‘CAGR’) % TSR Share Rights vesting
Less than 10% CAGR Nil
Between 10% CAGR and 20% CAGR 10% vesting for each 1% increase in CAGR performance
Equal to or above 20% CAGR 100%
Absolute TSR measures the return received by shareholders from holding shares in a company over a particular period.
TSR is calculated by taking into account the growth in a company’s share price over the relevant period as well as the
dividends received (and assumed to be reinvested back into the company’s shares) during that period.
Service condition Mr Bracken must have been continuously engaged by the Company (and have not resigned or been terminated) from the
date the share rights are granted until after 10 ASX trading days following the release of the Company’s FY27 financial
results.
Rights attaching to
share rights
Share rights do not carry any dividend or voting rights prior to vesting and are non-transferable, except in limited
circumstances under the Equity Incentive Plan rules.
Allocation of shares
following vesting
Following testing of the relevant Performance hurdles at the end of the performance period, and subject to satisfaction
of the Service condition, share rights which have vested will be automatically exercised.
Any share rights that do not vest following testing of the Performance hurdles will lapse.
If expressly permitted in the relevant invitation, a share right which has vested and been exercised may be settled by the
Company arranging for Mr Bracken to receive the requisite number of ordinary fully paid shares (Equity Settled), or by a
cash equivalent payment to the participant, at the discretion of the Board.
For an Equity Settled arrangement, the Company’s obligation to deliver shares may be satisfied by issuing new shares,
acquiring shares on-market or off-market or by transferring and/or allocating shares from an employee share trust.
Restriction periods On vesting there is no additional restriction period, except as specified in the Company’s Trading Policy.
ANNEXURE 2: SUMMARY OF THE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN RULES
The key terms of the Equity Incentive Plan (Plan) are set out
below.
Eligible participants
The following persons may be invited to participate in the
Plan:
an Executive Director of the Company or an ‘associated
entity’ (as defined in the Corporations Act) of the
Company (together ‘the Group’)
an employee of any Group company
an individual who provides services to any Group
company, or
a prospective participant to whom the above criteria
may apply.
Non-Executive Directors of the Company are not eligible to
participate in the Plan.
Invitation to participate
The Board may from time to time in its absolute discretion
determine that an eligible participant be invited to participate
in the Plan.
Unless otherwise expressly permitted in an invitation, a
participant may only submit an application in that
participant’s name and not on behalf of any other person.
The Board has the discretion to set the terms and conditions
(including but not limited to conditions in relation to vesting,
exercise, cash settlement, forfeiture, and disposal
restrictions) on which it will make invitations under and in
accordance with the Plan and may set different terms and
conditions which apply to different participants.
The Board also has the discretion to waive vesting, exercise,
forfeiture or disposal conditions in relation to a particular
participant or in relation to participants generally.
Type of securities
The Plan provides the Board with the ability to grant share
rights, subject to the terms of individual offers.
Share rights are an entitlement to receive Shares upon the
satisfaction (or waiver) of the applicable vesting and/or
exercise conditions and payment of any applicable exercise
price (which may, for the avoidance of doubt, be nil).
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, no consideration
is required to be paid by the participant in respect of the grant
of a share right under the Plan.
The Board has the discretion to determine the number or
value of share rights to be granted to participants.
Key terms
Voting and dividends
A participant is not entitled, by virtue of holding a share right,
to:
notice of, or to vote or attend at, a meeting of the
shareholders of the Company, or
receive any dividends declared by the Company.
Shares delivered to (or on behalf of) a participant upon
vesting and exercise of a share right will carry dividend and
voting rights.
Quoting on an exchange
Unless otherwise determined by the Board in its absolute
discretion, a share right granted under the Plan will not be
quoted on the ASX or any other recognised exchange.
Dealings
A participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security
interest over, or otherwise deal with a share right that has
been granted to them, unless the Board in its absolute
discretion so approves or the relevant dealing is effected by
force of law on death or legal incapacity to the participant’s
legal or personal representative.
Vesting
The Board has the discretion to determine the vesting
conditions (if any) that must be met before a share right will
vest.
A share right will vest once all vesting conditions (specified in
the invitation related to the share right) have been satisfied (or
waived) and a vesting notice in respect of that share right is
given by the Company or is deemed to be given to the
participant.
A vesting condition for a share right may, subject to the
Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules (where applicable)
and any other applicable laws and regulations, be waived by
the Board.
Exercise of share rights
A share right may only be exercised when all vesting
conditions and all exercise conditions applicable to that
share right are satisfied or have been waived by the Company
and the Company has provided (or is deemed to have
provided) a confirmation notice to the participant. If there are
no exercise conditions, the vesting notice will constitute the
confirmation notice.
An exercise condition for a share right may, subject to the
Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules (where applicable)
and any other applicable laws and regulations, be waived by
the Board.
The manner in which a share right may be exercised
(including whether that share right will be automatically or
manually exercised) as well as whether or not that share right
may be Cash Settled will be specified by the Board in the
relevant invitation.
Resulting shares
Upon exercise, the Company will (subject to the terms of the
invitation) issue, acquire on or off market and transfer, and/or
allocate shares from within an employee share trust or other
trust or custodian arrangement established by the Company,
to (or on behalf of) the participant the number of shares to
which that participant is entitled (‘Resulting Shares’).
If specifically permitted to do so in an invitation to a
participant, the Board may determine to Cash Settle
exercised share rights with a cash equivalent payment.
Resulting Shares issued will rank equally with all other shares
on issue in that class (except as regards to any rights
attaching to such other shares by reference to a record date
prior to their allocation or transfer). If the class of shares are
listed on the ASX, the Company will apply for quotation of the
shares issued upon exercise.
The Board may, at its discretion, impose disposal restrictions
in an invitation in respect of any Resulting Shares. The Board
may also implement any procedures it deems appropriate to
ensure a participant’s compliance with applicable disposal
restrictions in respect of Resulting Shares. This may include
imposing a holding lock on relevant Resulting Shares or
procuring that a trustee hold the relevant Resulting Shares for
part or all of the applicable disposal restriction period.
Any dealing in Resulting Shares is also subject to the
Company’s Trading Policy.
Cessation of employment
If a participant ceases employment with the Company, the
treatment of their share rights (both vested and unvested) will
depend on the circumstances of cessation.
For example, where the participant ceases employment due
to resignation or termination for cause, they will be entitled to
retain their vested and unexercised share rights but will forfeit
all of their unvested share rights, unless the Board
determines a different treatment.
In other cases, such as a redundancy or bona fide retirement,
the participant will be entitled to retain their vested and
unexercised share rights, and their unvested share rights. Any
unvested share rights will be retained on a pro rata basis
(based on the proportion of the vesting period in relation to
those Share Rights that will have elapsed on the date the
Participant became a Good Leaver (as determined by the
Board acting reasonably)). In addition, any vesting conditions
applicable to the participant’s unvested share rights will
automatically be waived, unless the Board determines a
different treatment.
Malus and Claw-back
In the event of fraud, dishonesty or a wilful breach of a
participant’s obligations to any member of the Group, the
Board may deal with, or take any actions it considers
appropriate, in respect of the participant’s share rights,
Resulting Shares or proceeds of any Cash Settlement (if
applicable) as to ensure no unfair benefit is obtained by the
participant. Such actions may include deeming shares rights
or Resulting Shares be forfeited, or requiring the participant to
repay all or part of the new proceeds of sale of any Resulting
Shares.
Corporate activity
If a ‘change of control event’ occurs, some or all of the share
rights will be vested (such number to be determined by the
Board having regard to the proportion of the performance
period elapsed up to the date of the relevant change of
control event’). The Board will then have discretion in respect
of the remaining unvested share rights (including, without
limitation, whether to also vest or to forfeit those share
rights).
The Board also has the discretion to lift (or not lift) any
applicable disposal restrictions on share rights or Resulting
Shares.
A change of control event includes (without limitation):
in connection with a scheme of arrangement which will,
upon becoming effective, result in a person (either alone
or together with associates) owning more than 50% of
the issued capital of the Company (but does not include
a scheme which does not involve a change in ultimate
beneficial ownership of the Company)
where a person becomes the legal or beneficial owner
of, or has a relevant interest in, more than 50% of the
issued capital of the Company
where a person becomes entitled to acquire, hold or has
an equitable interest in more than 50% of the issued
capital of the Company
where a takeover bid is made, the takeover becomes
unconditional and the bidder (together with its
associates) has a relevant interest in more than 50% of
the issued capital of the Company
a resolution is passed for the voluntary winding-up of the
Company
the shares cease, or will cease, to be quoted on any
securities exchange, or
any other event determined by the Board in good faith to
constitute a ‘Change of Control Event’ for the purposes
of the Plan.
Discretions
Under the Plan, the Board has both broad and specific
discretions available to it when administering the Plan and
the share rights granted under it and may exercise those
discretions in relation to a particular participant or in relation
to participants generally.
These discretions include (without limitation) the ability:
to waive in whole or in part any terms and conditions of
the Plan insofar as they apply to any share rights or
Resulting Shares (including any vesting conditions or
any restrictions on dealing) applicable to those share
rights or Resulting Shares
to waive, amend or replace any vesting condition or
exercise condition attaching to a share right if it
considers that the original condition is no longer
appropriate or applicable, provided that either (a) the
relevant participants’ interests are not materially
prejudiced or advantaged relative to the position
reasonably anticipated at the time of grant or (b) in the
context of a material transaction undertaken by the
Group, that the waiver, amendment or replacement is
reasonable to the relevant participant given the
circumstances of the Company and the circumstances
of the participant
where the Company divests a business or subsidiary
designated by the Board as ‘material’, to make special
rules in good faith that apply to some or all of a
participant’s share rights (including to vary vesting
conditions or exercise conditions and/or deem that a
participant remains employed or engaged by the Group
notwithstanding that they may not be at the relevant
time, and
prior to the delivery of Resulting Shares to a participant
upon exercise of share rights issued under the Plan, to
grant additional share rights or make any adjustments it
considers appropriate to the terms of the share rights in
order to minimise or eliminate any material advantage or
disadvantage to a participant resulting from a corporate
action or capital reconstruction in relation to the
Company.
The Plan includes standard provisions to deal with bonus
issues, rights issues, capital reorganisations and other
corporate actions.
Trust or custodian arrangement
The Company may establish, administer, operate and fund an
employee share trust, custodian or other trust arrangement
(Trust) for the purposes of holding and/or delivering shares
under the Plan.
Participants that have shares held in a Trust on an allocated
basis are entitled to dividends paid on those shares and are
also entitled to instruct the trustee how to exercise voting
attaching to those shares.
Plan administration
The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Plan also has
customary and usual terms having regard to Australian law
for dealing with the variation and termination of the Plan.
Corporations Act Relief
It is intended that offers of share rights and issues of
securities under the Plan will be made under Part 7.12,
Division 1A (Employee share schemes) of the Corporations
Act (ESS Legislation), which currently governs employee
incentive schemes of listed companies.
The ESS Legislation provides holistic regulatory relief
(including relief from disclosure document requirements,
licensing, hawking and other incidental matters) provided
that the conditions specified in the ESS Legislation are
satisfied.
The Board also has the discretion to set out in a participant’s
invitation such terms, conditions or information as the Board
considers necessary for the purpose of complying with the
requirements of the ESS Legislation.
