Options & convertible securities
- Price-triggered16.3M · 0.9% of sharesOptions and warrants — they convert when the share price clears their exercise price.No exercise price is on record for any of it, so none of it can be called in or out of the money.
- Condition-triggered23.6M · 1.3% of sharesPerformance and incentive rights — they convert when a hurdle is met, not at a price, and can lapse to nothing.
Exercise price on record: 0 priced, 39.8M where the filing never states one. A security with no exercise price is never counted in the money — nothing is paid to convert it, so there is no price for it to be above.
Each figure is the filing’s own count of securities, not a share count — a 2A never states what one security converts into.
No option supply on record carries an exercise price to pay, so no share price switches any of it on. All 39.8M of it converts on something else — a hurdle that may never be met, or terms the filing does not price.
| Code | Security | Type | Exercise price | Expiry | On issue | Source |

“Nil” is a stated nil exercise price: nothing is paid to convert. An em dash means the filing names no exercise price at all. Security is read from the filing’s own class description; an em dash there means the description is not one this table labels. One row is one security class, at the number stated in the most recent quotation application that restated it — linked, and dated, in the last column. For what expires soon across other listed companies, see the options expiry calendar.
A condition-triggered class has no exercise price and usually no expiry: what it vests on is set by a shareholder resolution, not by the register. Where the company lodged a notice of meeting before the class first appears here, it is linked as “Meeting” — that is where terms of this kind are put to shareholders. It is not confirmation that the document sets this class’s conditions, and no link appears where there is no such filing.
