The Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders of Alchemy Resources Limited to which this Notice of Meeting relates will be held at 9.30am (WST) on Tuesday, 29 November 2022 at BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd, Level 9, Mia Yellagonga Tower 2, 5 Spring Street, Perth WA 6000.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT

The business of the Annual General Meeting affects your shareholding and your vote is important.

VOTING BY A CORPORATION

A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.

Shareholders can download and fill out the “Appointment of Corporate Representative” form from the website of the Company’s share registry at: https://www.automicgroup.com.au/app/uploads/2019/08/A ppointment-of-Corporate-Representative.pdf.

HOW TO VOTE

Shareholders can vote by either:

  • attending the meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote;

  • appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the proxy form accompanying this Notice of Meeting and by submitting their proxy appointment and voting instructions online, in person, by post, or by facsimile; or

  • lodging their proxy and voting online at https://investor.automic.com.au/#/loginsah by following the instructions set out on the attached Proxy Form.

VOTING IN PERSON

Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company’s share register and attendance recorded. Attorneys should bring with them an original or certified copy of the power of attorney under which they have been authorised to attend and vote at the Meeting.

VOTING BY PROXY

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.

The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).

A proxy need not be a Shareholder.

The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.

If a proxy votes, they must cast all directed proxies as directed.

If a proxy does not vote on a resolution which has been directed by the Shareholder, the proxy for that resolution will automatically default to the Chair, who will vote the proxy as directed.

If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit.

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1, Resolution 6 and Resolutions 9(a)(b) and (c).

Page 1

Should any resolution, other than those specified in this Notice of Meeting, be proposed at the Meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolution as they think fit.

LODGEMENT OF PROXY FORMS

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return:

Online:

If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the Shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.

If a proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on a resolution then the proxy must not vote on a show of hands.

Shareholders who return their proxy forms with a direction how to vote but do not nominate the identity of their proxy will be taken to have appointed the Chair as their proxy to vote on their behalf.

If a proxy form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions. Proxy appointments in favour of the Chair, the Company Secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used where possible to support each of the resolutions proposed in this Notice of Meeting, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed resolutions.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of Alchemy Resources Limited ( Alchemy or the Company ).

Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Statement. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations are set out in the Glossary to the Explanatory Statement.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

The Corporations Act requires the Company to lay its Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report for the last financial year before the Annual General Meeting ( AGM ).

No resolution is required for this item, but Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions and to make comments on the reports and the management and performance of the Company.

The Company’s Auditor will also be present at the meeting and Shareholders will be given the opportunity to ask the Auditor questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the Auditor.

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Company’s auditor about:

  • (a) the content of the auditor’s report to be considered at the Meeting; and

  • (b) the conduct of the audit of the annual financial report to be considered at the Meeting,

may be submitted no later than 5 Business Days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company’s registered office.

The Company’s 2022 Annual Report is available on the Company’s website at www.alchemyresources.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF THE REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 Introduction

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to put a resolution at its AGM to its Shareholders that the Remuneration Report be adopted.

The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 contains a Remuneration Report which explains the Board’s policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Key Management Personnel (including Directors), and sets out remuneration details, service agreements and the details of any sharebased compensation.

Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (the Spill Resolution) that a further meeting (the Spill Meeting) be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors who were directors of the Company when the resolution to make the directors’ report considered at the second of those annual general meetings was passed (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.

The vote on the Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. A reasonable opportunity will be provided for Shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

2.2 Voting on the Remuneration Report

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint a member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report (other than the Chair) or any Closely Related Party of that member as your proxy to vote on the Remuneration Report, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote. Where you do not direct a member of Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or Closely Related Party of that member

Page 7

on how to vote on the Remuneration Report, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution.

The above note on voting does not apply if the voter is the Chair of the meeting and the undirected proxy expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel for the Company.

The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chair of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair’s intention.

3. RESOLUTION 2: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – ANTHONY HO

3.1 General

Clause 7.2(a) of the Company’s Constitution requires that a Director must not hold office, without re-election, past the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment or last re-election, or for more than three years, whichever is longer. This does not apply to a Managing Director.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 7.2(a)of the Constitution is eligible for re-election under clause 7.2(b)(iii).

Mr Anthony Ho, who has been a director of the Company since 25 November 2011 and was last elected by Shareholders on 22 November 2019, retires in accordance with clause 7.2(a) of the Constitution and being eligible, seeks re-election.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Ho is a Chartered Accountant and a partner in a consulting practice focused principally on corporate and financial services to listed companies. He has significant experience in the resource industry, having served as director and secretary of companies listed on the ASX. He is currently a Non-Executive Director of Australian Agricultural Projects Limited and Mustera Property Group Limited.

3.3 Independence

If re-elected, the Board considers Mr Ho will be an independent director.

3.4 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors unanimously support the re-election of Mr Ho as a Director of the Company (with Mr Ho abstaining) and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of this Resolution, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention.

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4: RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES – LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

4.1 General

On 11 October 2022, the Company announced a placement of 220,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares (Placement Shares) to be issued at a price of $0.025 (Placement).

Discovery Capital Partners Pty Ltd and Canaccord Genuity Australia Pty Ltd acted as joint lead managers to the Placement.

The maximum number of the Placement Shares to be issued without prior Shareholder approval from its 15% annual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 was 132,961,438. The remaining 87,038,562 Placement Shares were to be issued from the Company’s additional 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A as approved by Shareholders at the previous annual general meeting on 18 November 2021. The issue of the Placement Shares occurred on 17 October 2022.

The issue price of all Placement Shares, whether issued using the placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 or the additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, was the same, being $0.025. As some of the Placement Shares were issued using the additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, the issue price was required not to be lower than 75% of the 15 day VWAP prevailing at the time of the agreement to issue the Placement Shares, in accordance with Listing Rule7.1A.3. The issue price of the Placement Shares complied with this requirement.

Page 8

Listing Rule 7.1

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that, in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid a number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Where an eligible entity obtains shareholder approval to increase its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A then any ordinary securities issued under that additional placement capacity:

  • a) will not be counted in variable “A” in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • b) are counted in variable “E”,

until their issue has been ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) or 12 months has passed since their issue.

As noted above, the Company obtained Shareholder approval to have this additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2021 AGM. That approval expires at this year’s AGM. (The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to have the additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A for the coming year under Resolution 5.)

Placement Shares – number issued using placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1

The issue of the abovementioned 132,961,438 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue date.

Placement Shares-number issued using additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A

The issue of the abovementioned 87,038,562 Placement Shares also does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders it effectively uses up part of the 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A for the 12 month period following the issue date.

Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of, or an agreement to issue, Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that Listing Rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 132,961,438 of the Placement Shares. By ratifying this issue, the base figure (i.e. variable “A” in the formulas in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is passed, the 132,961,438 Placement Shares issued will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue under that Rule without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If this Resolution is not passed, the 132,961,438 Placement Shares issued will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

Similarly, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 87,038,562 of the Placement Shares to be issued using the Company’s additional placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. By ratifying this issue, the base figure (i.e. variable “A” in the formulas in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be a higher

Page 9

number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is passed, the 87,038,562 Placement Shares issued will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% additional placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue under that Rule without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date (assuming shareholders approve the renewal of the Listing Rule 7.1A capacity under Resolution 5).

If this Resolution is not passed, the 87,038,562 Placement Shares issued will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date of those securities.

4.2 Resolutions 3 and 4 – Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Placement Shares:

  • a) the number of Placement Share issued was 220,000,000 Shares being:

  • (i) 132,961,438 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1 (Resolution 3); and

  • (ii) 87,038,562 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A (Resolution 4);

  • b) the Placement Shares were issued on 17 October 2022);

  • c) the issue price of the Placement Shares is $0.025 per Share;

  • d) the Placement Shares are all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • e) the Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors identified by the joint lead managers, Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited and Discovery Capital Partners Limited. None of the parties participating in the Placement is a related party of the Company, or a person whose identity would be deemed to be material in terms of the criteria set out in ASX Listing Rules Guidance Note 21 (being a member of Key Management Personnel, a substantial shareholder of the Company, an adviser to the Company, or any of their respective associates, who will receive a number of Placement Shares equal to or greater than 1% of the Company’s current issued capital);

  • f) the funds raised will be used to fund:

  • (i) Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling, Aircore drilling and soil sampling at the Karonie Lithium and Gold Projects;

  • (ii) Exploration programs at the Lake Rebecca Project targeting Lithium and Gold;

  • (iii) Diamond drilling and RC drilling at the Overflow and Yellow Mountain Gold/Base Metals Projects in the Cobar Basin, New South Wales to test for extensions to existing mineralisation; and

  • (iv) corporate costs and general working capital requirements;

  • g) the Placement Shares were not issued pursuant to any agreement; and

  • h) a voting exclusion statement in respect of each of Resolutions 3 and 4 is included in the Notice.

4.3 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors unanimously support Resolutions 3 and 4 and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of this Resolution, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention.

5. RESOLUTION 5: APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

5.1 General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to have an additional separate 10% placement capacity

Page 10

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes as at the date of this Notice.

This Resolution seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval (10% Placement Facility).

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the additional 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Only securities in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities can be issued using the 10% Placement Facility. As at the date of the Notice, the only quoted class of Equity Securities that the Company has on issue is the Shares (ASX trading code: ALY).

The Board considers it is in the Company’s best interests to have the opportunity to take advantage of the flexibility to issue additional securities provided under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. As at the date of this Notice, no decision has been made by the Board to undertake any issue of securities under the 10% Placement Facility if Shareholders approve this Resolution.

Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the period of the approval, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

‘A’ is the number of Shares on issue 12 months immediately preceding the date of issue or agreement (“relevant period”):

  • (B) plus the number of Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • (C) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • (i) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • (ii) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • (D) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue Shares within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • (i) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • (ii) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • (E) plus the number of any other Shares issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • (F) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;

  • (G) less the number of Shares cancelled in the relevant period.

  • ‘D’ is 10%

  • ‘E’ is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

Note that ‘A’ has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

  • a) 10% Placement Period

Page 11

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or

  • (iii) the time and date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

  • (10% Placement Period).

  • b) Minimum Issue Price

Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be in an existing class of quoted Equity Securities and issued for a cash consideration per security that is not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • c) Purposes of funds raised

The Company intends to use any funds raised from the issue of any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A towards:

  • (i) general working capital;

  • (ii) activities on its current projects, including exploration, sampling and drilling on the Karonie and Lake Rebecca gold and lithium Projects in Western Australia, and the Overflow and Yellow Mountain Gold-Base Metal projects in New South Wales; or

  • (iii) the acquisition of new assets and/or investments (including any expenses associated with such an acquisition).

  • d) Statement of risk of economic and voting dilution

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, there is a risk of the economic and voting dilution of existing Shareholders' including the risks that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the market price of Shares as at 6 October 2022, and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the market price as at 6 October 2022 (being $0.033, the closing price on that date).

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (ii) No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (iii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (iv) The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A, not the issue of any Equity Securities under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 or with shareholder approval under that Rule.

  • (v) The issue price is $0.033 being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 6 October 2022.

  • vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.

  • e) Allocation Policy for issues under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the recipients of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The Company has not as at the date of this Notice formed any intentions in relation to parties who may be invited to participate in any issues that may be made under the 10% Placement Facility, but they may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders, provided that they are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

  • f)

  • Previous issues under the 10% Placement Facility

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2021 annual general meeting (Previous Approval). The Company has issued 87,038,562 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 under the Previous Approval, being the component of the Placement Shares to be issued under the Previous Approval and which is the subject of Resolution 4. This represents approximately 10.36% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the time of the Previous Approval. Details of that issue of Equity Securities by the Company are as follows:

Date of issue: 17 October 2022
Number of EquitySecurities issued: 87,038,562
Class of EquitySecurity: Fully paid ordinaryshares
Summary of the terms of the class of Equity

5.3 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors unanimously support this Resolution and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of this Resolution, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention.

6. RESOLUTION 6: APPROVAL OF EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN

6.1 General

The Company considers that it is desirable to adopt a new employee incentive scheme to be called the “ALY Employee Securities Incentive Plan” (Plan).

The Plan is intended to provide an opportunity to eligible participants to participate in the Company’s future. Further, the Plan acts as a mechanism to ensure the interests of Shareholders and the management and employees of the Company are aligned.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b).

A summary of the Plan is set out in Schedule 1.

The Plan incorporates recent amendments to the Corporations Act for employee share schemes (New Legislation).

6.2 Summary of New Legislation

The Treasury Laws Amendment (Cost of Living Support and Other Measures) Act 2022 (Cth) introduced a new Division 1A into Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act in relation to employee share schemes (New Rules). The legislation came into effect on 1 October 2022.

The New Rules will eventually replace the existing ASIC Class Order [CO 14/1000] and ASIC Class Order [CO 14/1001] (together, the Class Orders).

A summary of the key changes applicable to the Company under the New Rules are set out below.

  • a) Expanded eligibility

Class Order relief is only available for issues to directors, full time and part time employees and casual employees or contractors that are 40% or more full time equivalent.

Under the New Rules, an offer may only be made to specified “primary participants” (being directors, employees and service providers, with no minimum requirements of hours of service provided) or certain related persons of a primary participant (including a spouse, parent, child or sibling of the primary participant; controlled bodies corporate of the primary participant or bodies corporate that are trustees of the primary participant’s self-managed superannuation fund).

  • b) Issue cap

Page 14

The Class Orders provide for an issue cap of 5% of a listed entity’s fully paid shares over a rolling period of three (3) years (irrespective of whether monetary consideration is required).

Under the New Rules, there is no cap on issues made for no monetary consideration. Caps only apply to issues made for monetary consideration (being the cap set out in the company’s constitution or if there is no such cap in the constitution, then 5% for listed entities unless a higher cap is specified in the relevant regulations (if any)).

Further, offers of eligible interests to participants under an employee securities incentive plan which would not ordinarily require disclosure, such as offers to senior managers or small-scale offerings, are not required to comply with the issue cap.

c) Disclosure requirements

The Class Order does not distinguish between offers for monetary consideration and those without, with the same disclosure requirements for both offers.

Under the New Rules, offers made for no monetary consideration do not have any specific disclosure requirements. In the case of offers made for monetary consideration, an offer document is required (with specific disclosure requirements) and participants cannot acquire their interests until 14 days after receiving the necessary offer disclosure from the entity.

  • d) Quotation and suspension requirements

Class Order relief is only available where an entity meets the minimum quotation period of three (3) months prior to making an offer of eligible interests. In addition, relief is prohibited if an entity is suspended from quotation for over 5 days in the preceding 12-month period.

Under the New Rules, listed entities can offer eligible interests without first meeting any minimum quotation period, and regardless of any suspensions to the trading of securities.

  • e) On-sale relief

The Class Order provides relief from the on-sale provisions for securities issued under the Class Order.

Pursuant to the New Rules, listed entities must issue a cleansing notice to ensure that any Shares issued (including following the exercise of any options and performance rights) may be on-sold within 12 months of issue.

f) Criminal offences

A number of new offences created under the New Rules, including misleading and deceptive statement offences and offences relating to holding participants’ money. In addition, regulatory relief can be revoked if any of the below are breached:

  • (i) compliance with the monetary cap;

  • (ii) compliance with the issue cap; and

  • (iii) providing disclosure documents at the required time.

6.3 Regulatory requirements and Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2, exception 13(b)

Shareholder approval is not required under the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules for the operation of the Plan. However, Shareholder approval is being sought to allow the Company to rely on an exception to the calculation of the Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A on the number of securities that may be issued without Shareholder Approval. Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b) provides that Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A do not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme that has been approved by Shareholders, where the issue of securities is within three (3) years from that date of Shareholder approval of the issue of securities under the employee incentive scheme.

The Plan participation is limited to Directors, employees and service providers of the Company. If an issue is to be made to Directors, then separate Shareholder approval will need to be obtained.

A summary of the key terms of the Plan is set out in Schedule 1.

As this is a new plan being put to Shareholders, no securities have been issued under it to date.

A maximum of 58,500,000 securities would be available to be issued under the Plan if approved by Shareholders, determined as 4.99% of the ordinary shares on issue at 17 October 2022. The maximum number is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of securities to be granted under the Plan, but simply a ceiling for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b).

Page 15

The passing of Resolution 6 will allow the Company to issue securities for the benefit of participants of the Plan whilst preserving the Company’s placement limits for issuing securities and provide flexibility in the manner in which the Plan is managed.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company may still issue securities to key personnel other than Directors on the terms as set out in Schedule 1, however those securities will count towards the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

6.4 Voting Exclusion Statement

A Voting Exclusion applies to this Resolution.

6.5 Board recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6. The Chair intends to vote all undirected Proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

7. RESOLUTION 7 – AMENDMENTS TO CONSTITUTION

7.1 General

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of shareholders.

Resolution 7 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to amend its Constitution to incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act since the current Constitution was adopted.

A summary of the proposed material changes is set out below.

A copy of the amended Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website https://alchemyresources.com.au/corporate/corporate-governance/ and at the office of the Company.

A copy of the amended Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary by sending an email to [email protected]. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

7.2 Summary of material proposed changes

a) Notice (clause 5.2(b))

The Corporations Amendment (Meetings and Documents) Act 2022 (Cth) permits a notice of meeting and any other information provided with that notice to be communicated using technology. For example, an entity may send its shareholders an email setting out or attaching a notice of meeting and other material relating to that notice of meeting (for example, a proxy form). Alternatively, an entity may send an email to its shareholders with a link to where the notice and other materials can be viewed or downloaded. In circumstances where the entity does not have the email address for certain shareholders, the entity may send a letter or postcard setting out a URL for viewing or downloading the notice and other materials.

Shareholders may elect to receive documents in a physical form or electronically and the Company must provide that member with the documents in the form based on the shareholder’s election (unless it falls under ASIC’s emergency power to grant relief).

The amended Constitution makes it clear at clause 5.2(b), that unless the applicable law otherwise provides, a notice of meeting and proxy form do not need to be provided physically in writing, and that the Company may provide a notice of meeting and proxy form to Shareholders electronically.

b) Meeting at more than one place (clause 5.3)

The amended Constitution includes a provision at clause 5.3 to expressly permit the Company to hold ‘hybrid meetings’ – that being meetings which are held partly in person and partly by virtual technology. The amended Constitution allows Shareholders to elect how they wish to attend hybrid meetings.

c) Virtual Meetings (clause 5.4)

The recent updates to the Corporations Act, (by way of the Corporations Amendment (Meetings and Documents) Act 2022 (Cth)), provides that a company may use technology to allow Shareholders to attend general meetings virtually if a wholly virtual meeting is expressly permitted in the company’s constitution.

The amended Constitution includes a provision which allows a meeting of Shareholders to be held by virtual means only, which provides greater flexibility or the Company and Shareholders. Any technology used at a general meeting must give Shareholders as a whole a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting.

Page 16

d) Joint Holders (clause 2.5)

Further proposed amendments to the Constitution are aimed at addressing the changes to the ASX CHESS System which was originally due to be replaced in April 2023 but has since been delayed to a date to be announced by the ASX (CHESS Replacement). As part of the CHESS Replacement, the new system will permit companies to register up to four joint holders per share, whereas currently the system only permits up to three joint holders.

Despite this systematic change, ASX has not proposed any change to the ASX Settlement Operating Rules (ASXSOR) in this regard. Pursuant to the ASXSOR, a participant must not establish a joint holding with more than three holders unless permitted by an issuer’s constitution.

The Company seeks to update clause 2.5 of the Constitution to permit the Company to register the maximum number of joint holders permitted under the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. This will ensure that the Company’s Constitution will enable the maximum number of joint holders to be registered once the CHESS Replacement occurs.

8. RESOLUTION 8: RENEWAL OF PROPORTIONAL TAKEOVER PROVISIONS

8.1 General

Paragraphs 1 to 5 of Schedule 5 of the Constitution provide that the Company must not register a transfer of shares which would give effect to a contract, resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under a proportional takeover bid unless shareholders, in a general meeting, approve the offer.

Under section 648G of the Corporations Act and paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 of the Constitution, paragraphs 1 to 5 of Schedule 5 cease to have effect on the date that is three (3) years after the later of their adoption or renewal.

Resolution 8 seeks to reinstate the provisions of paragraphs 1 to 5 of Schedule 5 of the Constitution for three (3) years from the date of approval of this Resolution 8.

The Directors consider that it is in the interests of Shareholders for the Company to include a proportional takeover rule and approval is therefore being sought to renew paragraphs 1 to 5 of the Schedule 5 of the Constitution.

A copy of the Constitution is available on the Company’s website at [insert].

8.2 What is a Proportional Takeover Bid

In a proportional takeover bid, the bidder offers to buy a proportion only of each shareholder’s shares in the target company.

8.3 Information required by Section 648G of the Corporations Act

Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions

Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed.

Reasons for proportional takeover provisions

A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.

Knowledge of any acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

Page 17

Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions

The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • a) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;

  • b) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority;

  • c) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and

  • d) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.

The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • a) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;

  • b) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and

  • c) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.

8.4 Recommendation of the Board

The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of adopting the proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that the proportional takeover provisions in the Constitution are in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.

9. RESOLUTION 9 (A), (B) AND (C) – APPROVAL TO ISSUE INCENTIVE OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS

9.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval and to the adoption of the Plan (refer to Resolution 6), to issue of a total of 6,000,000 Options (Director Incentive Options) to be issued equally to each of Lindsay Dudfield, Liza Carpene and Anthony Ho (Directors) in accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14.

The Director Incentive Options are being issued to incentivise and reward the Directors of the Company.

9.2 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

Each of the Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 9(a) to 9(c) (as applicable to each Director) by virtue of the fact that Resolutions 9(a) to 9(c) are concerned with the issue of Director Incentive Options to Directors. Section 195 of the Corporations Act essentially provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a material personal interest are being considered. In the absence of Shareholder approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at Board meetings necessary to carry out the terms of these Resolutions. The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations act to put the issue to Shareholders to determine.

9.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of financial benefits to related parties by a public company. Section 208 of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company giving a financial benefit to a related party of that public company unless one of a number of exceptions applies.

A “financial benefit” is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and includes the issue of securities. For the purpose of the General Meeting, a related party includes a director of the Company.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, the Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of the fact that they are Directors of the Company.

Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that for a public company, or an entity that a public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related third party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

Page 18

  • a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

Given that all Directors have a material personal interest, the Directors cannot form a quorum to determine whether the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Section 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act. Shareholder approval is therefore also sought for the purpose of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

9.4 ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 9(a) to 9(c) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with issuing 6,000,000 Director Incentive Options. This will occur within one (1) month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by an ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Incentive Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Incentive Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 9(a) to 9(c) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the 6,000,000 Director Incentive Options to the Directors and the Company may consider alternative forms of remuneration in lieu of such issue.

9.5 ASX Listing Rule 10.14

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

9.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 9(a) to 9(c):

  • a) the Director Incentive Options will be issued to each of the existing Directors of the Company being Lindsay Dudfield, Liza Carpene and Anthony Ho (and/or their nominees);

  • b) each of Lindsay Dudfield, Liza Carpene and Anthony Ho fall within the category of Listing Rule 10.14.1 by virtue of being Directors of the Company;

  • c) the total number of Director Incentive Options to be issued to the Directors is 6,000,000 Director Incentive Options comprising:

  • (i) 2,000,000 Director Incentive Options to be issued to Lindsay Dudfield, (and/or his nominee);

  • (ii) 2,000,000 Director Incentive Options to be issued to Liza Carpene, (and/or her nominee);

  • (iii) 2,000,000 Director Incentive Options to be issued to Anthony Ho, (and/or his nominee);

  • d) Director Incentive Options are exercisable at the greater of $0.03 and 150% of the VWAP of the fully paid ordinary Shares of the Company on the 5 trading days prior to the date of Shareholder approval at the Meeting, vest 12 months from the issue date and expire three years from the issue date. Refer to Schedule 2 for the full terms of the Director Incentive Options

  • e) the Director Incentive Options will be granted to the Directors no later than 3 years after the date of the meeting and it is anticipated the Director Incentive Options will be allocated on one date;

  • f) the Director Incentive Options will be issued for nil cash consideration and accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • g) the Director Incentive Options will be issued under the Plan, a summary of which is included in Schedule 1;

  • h) the Director Incentive Options have the values shown in Schedule 3;

  • i) the purpose of the issue is to incentivise the Directors;

  • j) no loan will be made to the Directors in respect of the acquisition of the Director Incentive Options;

  • k) the relevant interests of the Directors in securities of the Company as at the date of this Notice are:

Page 19

Related Party Shares Options
Lindsay Dudfield 60,880,611 nil
Liza Carpene 2,916,666 nil
Anthony Ho nil nil
  • l) the remuneration from the Company to each Director and his associates for the prior financial year and the proposed remuneration for the current financial year are set out below:
Related Party Current Financial Year
(ending 30 June 2023)1
Prior Financial year
(ending 30 June 2022)1
Lindsay Dudfield $20,000 $20,000
Liza Carpene $20,000 $20,000
Anthony Ho $20,000 $19,998

Notes:

1 Excluding superannuation

  • m) if the Director Incentive Options granted to the Directors are exercised, a total of 6,000,000 Shares would be allotted and issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 1,173,076,256 to 1,179,076,256 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 0.51%;

  • n) the market price of Shares during the term of the Director Incentive Options would normally determine whether or not the Director Incentive Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Director Incentive Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Director Incentive Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

The trading history of the Shares on ASX in the twelve (12) months before the date of this Notice of General Meeting is set out below:

Price Date
Highest $0.038 28 April 2022
29 April 2022
Lowest $0.01 10 December 2021
13 December 2021
Last $0.027 12 October 2022
  • o) If Lindsay Dudfield, Liza Carpene and Anthony Ho exercise all Director Incentive Options the subject of resolutions 9(a) to 9(c) and no other Shares were issued by the Company, they would hold 5.33%, 0.42% and 0.17%, respectively of the issued capital of the Company (including their current shareholding set out in section 9.6(k) above), on an undiluted basis;

  • p) in respect of Resolutions 9(a) to 9(c):

  • (i) the primary purpose of the grant of the Director Incentive Options is to reward the Directors and to provide cost effective consideration to the Directors for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company in their respective roles as Directors, whilst allowing the Company to maintain cash reserves for acquisitions and operations. In addition, the Board considers the grant of the Director Incentive Options to the Directors to be reasonable, given the necessity to attract high calibre professionals to the Company whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves;

  • (ii) the Board (other than in respect of the relevant Resolution that they have an interest in) considered the extensive experience and reputation of the relevant Director within the industry, the current

Page 20

market price of Shares and current market practices when determining the number and exercise price of the Director Incentive Options to be issued to the Directors; and

  • (iii) the Board does not consider there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company in issuing the Director Incentive Options to the Directors.

  • q) each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 9(a) to (c) on the basis that all the Directors (or their nominee/s) are to be issued Director Incentive Options. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make recommendations on Resolution 9(a) to (c) of this Notice;

  • r) details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the entity relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under listing rule 10.14;

  • s) any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after the resolution is approved and who were not named in the notice of meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule;

  • t) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass these Resolutions; and

  • u) a voting exclusion statement is included for Resolutions 9(a) to (c) of this Notice.

10. RESOLUTION 10 - RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF JOINT LEAD MANAGER OPTIONS – LISTING RULE 7.1

On 17 October 2022 the Company issued 10,000,000 Options in consideration for lead manager services (Joint Lead Manager Options) for a placement, provided by Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (Canaccord) and Discovery Capital Partners Limited (Discovery) (together, Joint Lead Managers).

Page 21

10.4 Technical Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 10 is passed, the Joint Lead Manager Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Joint Lead Manager Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 months period following the issue date.

Schedule 1 – Summary of Employee Incentive Securities Plan

A summary of the terms of the Plan is set out below:

  • (a) (Eligible Participant): Eligible Participant means a person that:

  • (i) is an ‘ESS participant’ (as that term is defined in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act) in relation to the Company for an invitation made on or after 1 October 2022; and

  • (ii) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.

  • (b) (Purpose): The purpose of the Plan is to:

  • (i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;

  • (ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and

  • (iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.

  • (c) (Plan administration): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion except to the extent that it prevents the Company relying on the deferred tax concessions under Subdivision B3A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth). The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.

  • (d) (Eligibility, invitation and application): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

  • (e) (Grant of Securities): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

  • (f) (Terms of Convertible Securities): Each 'Convertible Security' represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. Unless in ‘Special Circumstances’ (as defined in the Plan) with the consent of the Board, a Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over, collateralise a margin loan against, utilise for the purposes of short selling, enter into a Derivative with reference to, or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

  • (g) (Vesting of Convertible Securities): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.

  • (h) (Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise): To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

  • (i) (Cashless exercise of Convertible Securities): At the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, subject to Board approval at that time, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those

Page 24

Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

  • (j) (Market Value) means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

If the difference between the total exercise price otherwise payable for the Convertible Securities being exercised and the then Market Value of the Share at the time of exercise and the exercise price is zero or negative, then the Eligible Participant will not be entitled to use the cashless exercise facility.

  • (k) (Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.

  • (l) (Forfeiture of Convertible Securities): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, acted negligently, acted in contravention of a Group policy or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board will deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:

  • (i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and

  • (ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.

  • (m) (Change of control): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.

  • (n) (Rights attaching to Plan Shares): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, (Plan Shares) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.

  • (o) (Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.

For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:

  • (i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or

  • (ii) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.

  • (p) (Adjustment of Convertible Securities): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

Page 25

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

  • (q) (Participation in new issues): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.

  • (r) (Compliance with Applicable Laws): Notwithstanding the Plan rules or any terms of a Security, no Security may be offered, granted, vested or exercised, and no Share may be issued or transferred, if to do so would contravene any applicable laws.

Where monetary consideration is payable by the Eligible Participant, and in respect to Convertible Securities where the Exercise Price on exercise of those Convertible Securities is greater than zero, the Company must reasonably believe when making an invitation:

  • (i) the total number of Plan Shares that are, or are covered by the Securities that may be issued under an invitation; and

  • (ii) the total number of Plan Shares that are, or are covered by the Securities that have been issued, or could have been issued in connection with the Plan in reliance on Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act at any time during the previous three (3) year period prior to the date the invitation is made,

does not exceed:

  • (iii) if the Constitution specifies an issue cap percentage, that percentage; or

  • (iv) if the Constitution does not specify an issue cap percentage, 5% (or such other maximum permitted under any Applicable Law),

of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the invitation.

  • (s) (Amendment of Plan): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.

  • (t) (Plan duration): The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.

If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
