Private and confidential

 

Dear Robert,

 

Letter of Offer

 

TradeFloor IPCO Pty Ltd ABN 31 603 351 015 (Company), a subsidiary of OMG (Acquisition Co) Pty Ltd ABN 11 660 155 000 and an entity that forms part of the OMG group of companies (OMG), offers you employment on the terms and conditions of employment set out in this letter. Please sign and return this letter to indicate your acceptance of this offer.

 

The Fair Work Information Statement you are required to receive is included in your employment pack.

 

1.Your employment
  
1.1Commencement Date

 

Your employment with OMG on the terms and conditions in this agreement will commence on the date specified in Item 3 of Schedule 1 (Commencement Date) and will continue until terminated in accordance with this agreement.

 

1.2Probationary period

 

Your employment is subject to a 6-month probationary period.

 

1.3Position

 

You will be employed in the position specified in Item 1 of Schedule 1 or other positions as determined by OMG from time to time. You must perform the duties and responsibilities consistent with this position or any other position assigned to you by OMG from time to time, and any position description provided to you from time to time (Duties).

 

The Company may direct you to perform a position within OMG other than the position specified in Item 1 of Schedule 1, provided that:

 

(a)the position is commensurate with your seniority, skills and experience; and
   
(b)your FR (as defined in clause 2.1 below) is not decreased.

 

The terms set out in this agreement will continue to operate during the entirety of your employment, regardless of any changes that are made to your employment, unless this agreement is varied, supplemented or replaced by a document in writing agreed by you and OMG.

 

Openmarkets Group | Level 40, 225 George Street Sydney NSW 2000 |

Phone 1300 769 433 | www.openmarkets.group

 

 
 

 

1.4Location

 

Your role will be based at OMG’s principal place of business, the location of which is specified in Item 2 of Schedule 1, or any other place as OMG may reasonably require for you to satisfactorily perform your duties. This may include interstate or overseas. You must not unreasonably refuse to undertake this travel.

 

You will not be entitled to any additional remuneration for this travel, but your travel expenses, including accommodation and meals, will be paid for by OMG in accordance with clause 2.5 of this agreement and any OMG policy.

 

1.5Hours

 

You are employed on a full-time permanent basis working ordinary hours of 38 hours per week (or equivalent to five days per week). You must work during the normal business hours of OMG as well as working any other hours as are necessary for you to perform your duties satisfactorily. You agree that these other hours are reasonable and that you will not be entitled to receive any additional remuneration for hours worked outside your ordinary hours of work or outside of business hours.

 

1.6Employment obligations

 

During your employment you must:

 

(a)devote the whole of your time, attention and abilities exclusively to the business of OMG during work hours;

 

(b)not act, or appear to act, in conflict with the best interests of OMG;

 

(c)comply with all lawful and reasonable directions of OMG and any persons duly authorised by OMG;

 

(d)act honestly and in the best interests of OMG and the Group and not intentionally do anything that is or may be harmful to OMG or its business; and

 

(e)not engage or be involved in any other business or employment without the prior written permission of OMG.

 

2.Total Remuneration
  
2.1Fixed Remuneration

 

The Company will pay you the annual fixed remuneration (FR) as set out in Item 6 of Schedule 1, less applicable tax.

 

The FR includes:

 

(a)Base Salary; and

 

(b)minimum statutory superannuation contributions as required in order to avoid a charge under superannuation legislation up to the maximum superannuation contribution base.

 

If OMG is required to make superannuation contributions in excess of the amount specified in Item 6 of Schedule 1, your Base Salary will be adjusted down so that your FR remains unchanged.

 

You and OMG may agree to package your FR in a manner different to that set out in Item 6 of Schedule 1, provided it does not decrease the superannuation contributions. You will be required to meet the costs of any fringe benefits tax or other tax or costs payable as a consequence of any alternative arrangement of the FR.

 

Your Base Salary will be paid into your nominated bank account by electronic funds transfer on the 15th of every month.

 

2.2Superannuation

 

The Company will make the superannuation contributions referred to in clause 2.1 on your behalf in accordance with the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 (Cth) up to the maximum superannuation contribution base. Superannuation payments will be made into your nominated eligible superannuation fund, or OMG’s default fund if you do not nominate an appropriate fund.

 

Employment Agreement | OMG
2 of 13 |
 

 

2.3Additional benefits

 

During your employment, OMG may, from time to time, provide you with additional benefits. The use of any additional benefits will be subject to OMG’s policies.

 

2.4Variable Remuneration

 

In addition to your FR, during your employment OMG may invite you to participate in any incentive programs that it may put in place from time to time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a short term incentive plan (STI) and a long term incentive plan (LTI)). Your participation would be subject to the rules of the relevant incentive plan, which rules may be amended at any time by OMG at its absolute discretion.

 

Your participation in any incentive plan, and all payments and benefits under the plan (if any), would be at the absolute discretion of OMG and may be varied or revoked from time to time by OMG at its absolute discretion (in which event OMG would not be required to compensate you for any consequential loss or detriment to you).

 

Any incentive plan offered to you may be different to an incentive plan offered to other employees of OMG.

 

The terms of any incentive plan would not have any contractual effect and would not form part of this agreement.

 

If you are serving a period of notice of termination (regardless of whether you or OMG gave notice) or are no longer employed by OMG at the time payment of the incentive is due to be paid, you will forfeit your right to any amount to which you would have otherwise been entitled to receive.

 

Any amounts determined payable to you under the terms of any incentive plan in which you are participating are inclusive of superannuation and subject to applicable tax.

 

2.5Expenses

 

The Company will reimburse you for all expenses that you reasonably incur in the proper performance of your duties, subject to you providing receipts or other documentary evidence as OMG may require and complying with any relevant policies and procedures.

 

2.6Compensated Entitlements

 

Your FR and any other payments made to you under this agreement (Remuneration) compensate you for any and all legal entitlements you may have or become entitled to in connection with your employment, including pursuant to any industrial instrument and any relevant legislation applicable to your employment (Compensated Entitlements). The Compensated Entitlements include, without limitation, minimum wages, overtime, allowances, loadings, penalties and director’s fees.

 

The Company may set off any Remuneration paid against any obligation to pay you all or part of the Compensated Entitlements, irrespective of whether the character of the Remuneration and that of the Compensated Entitlements are different.

 

3.Leave
  
3.1Legislative leave entitlements

 

You are entitled to annual leave, personal/carer’s leave, long service leave and other leave in accordance with relevant legislation, as it applies from time to time.

 

Employment Agreement | OMG
3 of 13 |
 

 

3.2Leave usage

 

The approval of annual leave and long service leave is subject to OMG’s operational requirements.

 

The Company may require you to take accrued annual leave if your annual leave accrual exceeds 30 days or during any period in which the business, or part of it, shuts down (such as over the Christmas period). If you do not have sufficient accrued annual leave to cover the shutdown period, you agree to take unpaid leave.

 

If you are absent on personal/carer’s leave, you may be required to provide OMG with a doctor’s certificate to evidence your or your family/household member’s illness or injury.

 

3.3Public holidays

 

You are entitled to public holidays generally observed in the State or Territory in which you are based. However, this is a professional role and the nature of your duties may require you to work on public holidays. To the extent that you are required to work on public holidays, you will be entitled to a day-in- lieu of annual leave.

 

4.Protecting OMG’s interests
  
4.1Policies, practices and procedures

 

You are required to observe and comply with any written policy, practice or procedure of OMG. However, nothing in OMG’s policies, practices or procedures gives rise to a legal right enforceable by you and they do not form part of this agreement.

 

OMG may amend, replace or revoke any policy, practice or procedure at any time. You must ensure you remain up to date with all current OMG policies, practices or procedures.

 

4.2Confidential information

 

In the course of your employment, you will have access to Confidential Information of the Group, in written, computerised and other forms. Unless expressly authorised by OMG in writing, required by law or where the information has become public other than by your breach of this agreement, you must not, except in the proper performance of your duties:

 

(a)remove Confidential Information from OMG’s premises;

 

(b)make copies of Confidential Information;

 

(c)either directly or indirectly disclose any Confidential Information; or

 

(d)use or attempt to use Confidential Information for your own purposes, for any purpose other than that authorised by OMG or in any manner that may injure or cause loss directly or indirectly to OMG or the Group and/or their business.

 

You must also use your best endeavours to keep secure all Confidential Information that is in your possession. You must notify OMG of any unauthorised disclosure of Confidential Information promptly on becoming aware of such disclosure and must take all lawful steps to confine the disclosure of the Confidential Information and preserve its confidentiality.

 

Your obligations under this clause continue after the termination of this agreement.

 

4.3Intellectual Property

 

(a)You warrant that you do not have any right or interest in respect of any Intellectual Property owned, used or capable of being used by OMG.

 

Employment Agreement | OMG
4 of 13 |
 

 

(b)During the course of your employment you may be involved in the development of Intellectual Property that is recognised at law. This may be on your own or in conjunction with others and may be during or after work. You assign to OMG, and acknowledge and agree with OMG that it will be the sole and exclusive owner of this Intellectual Property. You also agree to do what OMG may reasonably require you to do in order to secure these rights of ownership. Where you have moral rights as defined in the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), you irrevocably consent to OMG infringing those moral rights.

 

(c)You will immediately disclose in writing to OMG:

 

(i)any matter which may come to the Employee’s attention during the Employment, which may be of interest, importance or use to OMG;

 

(ii)any proposal for improvements which may be of service for the furtherance of OMG’s business; and

 

(iii)Intellectual Property made or conceived of during the course of performing the duties.

 

(d)The Employee will do anything necessary, including executing any documents such as an assignment, for the purpose of effecting, perfecting and protecting OMG’s title or that of OMG’s nominee to the Intellectual Property, in Australia or such other countries as OMG requires.

 

(e)The Employee, during the course of the Employee’s employment with OMG or at any time afterward, may not make use of or reproduce any Intellectual Property owned by OMG without prior written approval, other than in the ordinary course of the Employment

 

(f)The Employee consents to OMG and each other member of the Group or their suppliers, clients or customers using or adapting Works to which the Employee has contributed or which the Employee has created in connection with the Employee’s employment or engagement by OMG at any time, in any manner, and without expressly acknowledging the Employee’s contribution or creation which may otherwise infringe a moral right of the Employee. This consent is given in relation to all Works made or to be made by the Employee in the course of the Employee’s employment or engagement at any time. The Employee acknowledges that the consent given in this clause has been given freely and genuinely, and without the Employee being subjected to any duress by OMG, any other member of the Group or any third party.

 

(g)Your obligations under this clause continue after the termination of this agreement.

 

4.4Return of OMG Property

 

You must immediately return to OMG all Property belonging to it (including but not limited to any Confidential Information of the Group or a Client, whether in physical or electronic form) in your possession and control if your employment terminates (for any reason) or when requested by OMG at any time.

 

You must:

 

(a)take all reasonable care when using the Property and immediately report to OMG any damage, defect or fault in the Property; and

 

(b)take all reasonable steps to ensure the security of, and protect all Property, including Confidential Information and Intellectual Property, which is in your possession, power or control.

 

4.5Suspension during investigation

 

OMG may suspend you on full pay while investigating any matter involving you (whether as the alleged victim, perpetrator or otherwise) which OMG considers could lead to it taking disciplinary action, including dismissal.
