Option terms and conditions of issue
Entitlement
1 | Subject to and conditional upon any adjustment in accordance with these conditions, each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary share (Share) upon payment of the Exercise Price. |
Exercise Price
2 | The Exercise Price of each Option is $0.265 (Exercise Price). |
Exercise Period
3 | An Option is exercisable at any time on or before 5.00pm (Brisbane time) on Friday, 29 November 2024 (the Expiry Date). Options not exercised by the Expiry Date lapse. |
Manner of exercise of Options
4 | Each Option may be exercised by notice in writing addressed to the Company's registered office. The minimum number of Options that may be exercised at any one time is 1,000. Payment of the Exercise Price for each Option must accompany each notice of exercise of option. All cheques must be payable to the Company and be crossed 'not negotiable'. |
Ranking of Shares
5 | Shares issued on the exercise of Options will rank equally with all existing shares on and from the date of issue in respect of all rights issues, bonus share issues and dividends which have a record date for determining entitlements on or after the date of issue of those shares |
Timing of issue of shares
6 | After an Option is validly exercised, the Company must as soon as possible: |
(a) | issue and allot the share as soon as possible; and |
(b) | do all such acts matters and things to obtain the grant of quotation for the shares on ASX no later than 5 business days from the date of exercise of the Option. |
Options transferrable
7 | Options may be transferred in the same manner as shares and may be exercised by any other person or body corporate. |
Participation in new issues
8 | An Option holder may participate in new issues of securities to holders of shares only if and to the extent that: |
(a) | an Option has been exercised and |
(b) | a share has been issued in respect of the exercise before the record date for determining entitlements to the new issue. |
9 | The Company must give notice to the Option holder of any new issue not less than 10 Business days before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue. |
GEM Capital Commitment Agreement | Reference: EYF Legal/70269901_1 |
Page 21 |
Adjustment for bonus issues of shares
10 | If the Company makes a bonus issue of shares or other securities to existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction, of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment): |
(a) | the number of shares which must be issued on the exercise of an Option will be increased by the number of shares which the Option holder would have received if the Option holder had exercised the Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and |
(b) | no change will be made to the Exercise Price. |
Adjustment for rights issue
11 | If the Company makes an issue of shares pro rata to existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu of in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the Exercise Price of an Option will be reduced according to the following formula: |
New exercise price = O – | E[P-(S+D)] | ||
N + 1 |
O | = | the old Exercise Price of the Option. |
E | = | the number of underlying shares into which one Option is exercisable. |
P | = | the average market price per share (weighted by reference to volume) of the underlying shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date. |
S | = | the purchase price of a share under the pro rata issue. |
D | = | the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue). |
N | = | the number of shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new share. |
Reconstructions
12 | If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the number of shares to which the Option holder is entitled, and/or the Exercise Price, must be reconstructed in a manner which complies with the Listing Rules (which will not result in any benefits being conferred on the Option holder which are not conferred on shareholders and subject to the provisions with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by the meeting of shareholders approving the reconstruction of capital), but in all other respects, the terms for the exercise of an Option will remain unchanged. |
Interpretation
13 | These terms and conditions of issue must be interpreted in the same way as the Capital Commitment Agreement under which the Option was issued. |
