Worth a reminder of where Keith's 5,750,000 shares actually came from before anyone votes on giving him more.
Direct holding: 850,000 shares. These came in Dec 2017 as "loan CDIs" under the Employee Securities Incentive Plan β meaning the company issued him the shares and lent him the money to pay for them, interest free. He didn't buy them on market. The loan is still on the books at $592,245.
Indirect holding (via Inswinger Holdings, his private company): 4,900,000 shares. The history of that pile:
500,000 at the start of FY15 (early-stage allocation)
+4,000,000 during FY15 around the Cinovec acquisition / name change
+4,000,000 in FY16 from exercising company-issued options at A$0.166
Sat at 8,500,000 from FY16 right through to FY23
Sometime in FY24, Inswinger quietly sold 3,600,000 shares β taking it down to the current 4,900,000
He also had 2,000,000 unexercised options left over from those 2015 grants. Rather than exercise them, in August 2020 Inswinger sold them off-market for A$268,000 β three days before they expired worthless.
Then there's the 2,400,000 performance rights granted Dec 2020. Those expired worthless in March 2025 because the milestones weren't met.
So across 12 years as a director, every share or right he's ever had came from the company itself β initial allocations, option grants at deep discounts, loan-funded shares, performance rights. There is no record of him ever buying a single EMH share on the open market with his own money.
And now the May 29 AGM is being asked to approve another 3,600,000 performance rights to him and Pavlik. That number is not a coincidence β it's the exact number Inswinger sold during the downturn. He wants to be made whole on what he sold, but for free instead of buying it back like the rest of us would have to.
