Amendments to the Schemes and Condition Subsequent
Clause 3.1(f) of the Scheme Implementation Deed required as a condition precedent to the Share Scheme that "Approval for listing and trading on Nasdaq: the New Snow Lake Shares (to be issued as the Share Scheme Consideration) have been approved for listing and trading on Nasdaq". Snow Lake was responsible for the satisfaction of this condition precedent. In applying for this approval, Snow Lake was informed by Nasdaq that it would only be required to notify Nasdaq of the Schemes and proposed issuance of New Snow Lake Shares, with no formal Nasdaq approval requirement. Snow Lake was also informed that Nasdaq will only review the notification after the Effective Date.
Given the above, the Share Scheme and Option Scheme have been amended such that the above condition precedent to the Share Scheme is amended to a condition subsequent to the Schemes, with the approval modified to a Nasdaq notification requirement. Refer to the amended Share Scheme and amended Option Scheme attached to GUE's ASX announcement of February 3, 2026 (as Annexures A and B respectively) for further details[2].
If the condition subsequent is satisfied by the date that is 15 Business Days after the Effective Date (the "Condition Subsequent End Date"), the Share Scheme and Option Scheme will be implemented. If the condition subsequent is not satisfied by the Condition Subsequent End Date, the Share Scheme and Option Scheme will not proceed.
Snow Lake and GUE are confident that the condition subsequent will be satisfied.
