Explanatory Statement

This explanatory statement accompanies and forms part of the Notice of Meeting for the Company’s AGM to be held on Friday 22nd November 2024 at 10:00am AEDT. It contains information relevant to the business to be considered at the AGM and Shareholders should read this section in full.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

This Notice of Meeting should be read in its entirety. If Shareholders are in doubt as to how they should vote, they should seek advice from their professional advisors prior to voting.

Business

Financial Reports

The Corporations Act requires that the Report of the Directors, the Auditors Report and the Financial Report be presented to Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

A vote is not required on this item, but Shareholders will be provided with the opportunity to ask questions and comment on these reports or about the business operations and management of the Company generally. The Company’s auditor will be present at the Meeting. Shareholders also have the right to question the Company’s auditor in accordance with section 250T of the Corporations Act.

Shareholders are also entitled to put forward written questions to the Company’s auditor, if the question is relevant to the content of the Auditor’s Report or the conduct of the audit.

The ways in which Shareholders can ask questions or make comments are outlined in the section headed ‘Important Information for Shareholders’ included in the Notice of Meeting.

Resolution 1 – Adoption of the Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that the Remuneration Report be put to Shareholders for adoption. This resolution is for advisory purposes only and will not be binding on the Directors or the Company, however the Directors will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration policy.

However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting (subject to this Notice of Meeting), and then again at the 2024 Annual General Meeting ( 2024 AGM ), the Company will be required to put to the vote a resolution ( Spill Resolution ) at the 2024 AGM to approve the calling of a further meeting ( Spill Meeting) . If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the Spill Meeting within 90 days of the 2024 AGM. All of the Directors who were in office when the 2024 Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will (if

==> picture [404 x 84] intentionally omitted <==

desired) need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. The Remuneration Report explains the Board’s policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to KMP’s (including Directors) and sets out remuneration details, service agreements and the details of any sharebased compensation.

The Remuneration Report is contained in the Annual Report, a copy of which is available at www.alfabs.com.au and on the ASX.

Resolution 2 – Election of Mr Robert Neale

Rule 18.3 of the Constitution states that a non-executive Director appointed by the Board holds office until the conclusion of the next AGM following his or her appointment and therefore must seek election by Shareholders at the AGM. Accordingly Mr Robert Neale, who was appointed as a non-executive director on 29 May 2024, submits himself for re-election by Shareholders.

Robert is an accomplished business leader with extensive experience as a director and executive in the resources sector. As the former MD and CEO of New Hope Corporation he has a proven track record in operational and developmental roles. Rob serviced as Chairman of Nickel Industries Ltd (2018-2023) and has served as Chairman and Non-Executive Director for various organisations including Westside Corporation & Northern Energy Corporation as well as Director for Planet Gas and Bridgeport Energy. Robert was previously also President of the Queensland Resources Council and Chairman of the Australian Coal Association Research Program.

Recommendation: the Directors (with Mr Robert Neale abstaining) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Resolution 3 – Election of Mr William Wavish

Rule 18.3 of the Constitution states that a non-executive Director appointed by the Board holds office until the conclusion of the next AGM following his or her appointment and therefore must seek election by Shareholders at the AGM. Accordingly Mr William Wavish, who was appointed as a non-executive director on 29 May 2024, submits himself for re-election by Shareholders.

William is the former CFO and Finance Director at Woolworths. Under his leadership, Woolworths quintupled its profits, positioning the company among the top 10 of Fortune 500 companies worldwide for return on investment. With notable roles at Myer and Campbells Soup Asia as well, he brings extensive experience and expertise to Alfabs. As Executive Chairman of Myer he successfully led a 3-year turnaround resulting in significant financial gains. William has consistently delivered exceptional financial results and successfully managed complex operations.

Recommendation: the Directors (with Mr William Wavish abstaining) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

==> picture [404 x 84] intentionally omitted <==
