Pursuant to Section 12.20 of the Intelligent Bio Solutions 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan as Amended and Restated from time to time (the “Plan”), the Committee has the authority to establish sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying the laws of jurisdictions that the Company intends to grant awards.

 

This Australian sub-plan (the “Australian Sub-Plan”) has been authorized by the Committee to ensure that the operation of the Plan, in respect of participants resident in Australia, complies with the requirements of Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) (ITAA 1997), and to enable those participants to access the Australian tax deferral concessions available under Division 83A of the ITAA 1997, where the relevant conditions are satisfied. This Australian Sub-Plan shall be deemed a part of the Plan and in the event of a conflict, whether explicit or implied, between the provisions of the Plan and the Australian Sub-Plan, the Australian Sub-Plan shall govern and prevail.
