PERFORMANCE SHARES
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(a) |
The Performance Shares are a separate class of shares in Rubirosa that will convert into Shares on satisfaction of the Performance Hurdle. |
(b) |
If the Performance Hurdle is achieved, each Performance Share will, subject to clause (d) below, automatically convert to one Share which will have the same rights as, and rank equally with, other Shares then on issue and Rubirosa will apply for the quotation of the Shares so created within the time frame specified in the ASX Listing Rules. |
(c) |
Subject to the Listing Rules, holders of Performance Shares: |
|
(i) |
have the right to receive dividends or other distributions of capital in Rubirosa equal to the holders of Shares; |
|
(ii) |
have the right to receive notices and attend general meetings of Rubirosa, and the same voting rights as holders of Shares; and |
|
(iii) |
on a voluntary winding up, have the same entitlements as holders of Shares and on any other winding up, have no entitlements. |
(d) |
If there is a variation of the issued capital of Rubirosa including a capitalization or rights issue, sub-division, consolidation or reduction of share capital, the number of the Performance Shares may be adjusted in the same manner and proportion as Shares and in accordance with the Listing Rules (if applicable) and in any case in a manner which will not result in any benefits being conferred on the holder which are not conferred on Shareholders. |
(e) |
In the event that a takeover bid is made in respect of the securities of Rubirosa, the Performance Shares will remain the subject of the Performance Hurdle unless and until the party making any such bid has acquired: |
|
(i) |
the Performance Shares; and |
|
(ii) |
sufficient of the Shares to enable it to proceed to compulsory acquisition of the balance of the Shares, |
in which case each Performance Share will, subject to clause (d) above, automatically convert to one Share which will have the same rights as, and rank equally with, other Shares then on issue (including the right to participate in any dividend declared or paid
after the date of conversion) and Rubirosa will apply for the quotation of the Shares so created within the time frame specified in the ASX Listing Rules.
(f) |
Application will not be made for the Performance Shares to be granted quotation by ASX. |
(g) |
The Performance Shares may only be transferred if the person acquiring the Performance Shares accepts all the terms and conditions of the Performance Shares, including the Performance Hurdle. |
(h) |
Subject to paragraph (d) above the terms of the Performance Shares are not able to be altered even with the sanction of a vote by members of Rubirosa. |
