Company Update
Embedded electricity provider, Locality Planning Energy Holdings Limited (ASX: LPE) (the
Company or LPE), provides an update to the shareholders and the market on the Company.
Restructure Update
The Board of LPE now consists of Messrs. David Jarjoura, Simon Tilley, and Stan Kolenc,
significantly reduced from previous the seven members. The Chair's salary has been reduced
from $220,000 to $125,000 and Non-Executive Directors’ Tilley and Kolenc are proposing to take
options in lieu of their directors’ fees. These options have been independently valued by
Traverse Accountants at $70,000 each, assuming a share price of 3.8 cents.
The Non-Executive Directors, who have not received any remuneration since joining the Board,
have elected to receive options in consideration for their Directors’ fees to preserve the
Company’s capital; however, should the proposed option package not be approved by
Shareholders, the Directors can elect to be paid their Director’s fees (at the same rate as
previous Non-Executive Directors, being $60k per annum) for time served on Board.
Should both Messrs. Tilley and Kolenc exercise their options, LPE would raise c. $2.1m from Mr
Tilley and Mr Kolenc.
The issue of securities under the Employee Incentive Plan proposed for our people, which the
Board is seeking Shareholder approval for at the upcoming General Meeting, is to retain our
people, assist with attracting new people and to motivate all to achieve LPE’s goals.

The Boards has been, through the Interim Chair, and continues to, review operations at LPE with
our people with the goals of:
