OCA will pay tax on the Option holder’s behalf for the taxable benefit received by the holder under the plan, but there will be a reduction in the number of shares to be issued to such holder on exercise to the extent the amount of such tax is greater than the tax savings available to OCA (or a subsidiary) in relation to such benefit.
Reason for issue and specific authority for issue (the reason for change must be identified here) The board of OCA has resolved to offer the Options to selected employees in order to:
(a) reward and retain participants;
(b) drive longer-term performance and alignment of incentives of participants with the interests of Oceania’s shareholders; and
(c) encourage longer term decision-making by the participants.
