If you appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy (or the Chairman becomes your proxy by default) and you do not direct your proxy how to vote on the proposed Resolutions set out in this Notice, then you will be authorising the Chairman to vote as he decides on the proposed resolutions (even if the resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of the Company's KMP).

If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy and wish to direct him how to vote, you can do so by marking the boxes for the relevant Resolution (ie by directing him to vote "For", "Against" or "Abstain").

If you appoint a member of KMP (other than the Chairman) or any closely related party of a member of KMP as your proxy, you must direct that person how to vote on Resolutions 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 if you want your Shares to be voted on those Resolutions. If you appoint a member of KMP (other than the Chairman) or any closely related party of a member of KMP and you do not direct them how to vote on Resolutions 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8, such a person will not cast your votes on that Resolution and your votes will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on that Resolution.

3. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4: APPROVAL OF THE GRANT OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

3.1 General

Resolutions 3 and 4 seek approval for:

(a) the grant of Performance Rights (pursuant to the terms of the Plan); and

(b) the issue or transfer of Shares upon the vesting and exercise of those Performance Rights, to the Company’s executive Directors, Messrs Nicholas Paul Earner and David Ian Chalmers under the Company’s Executive Incentive Scheme for executive long term incentives.

The terms of the Plan were approved by Shareholders at the Company's 2019 annual general meeting, and are summarised in Annexure B.

In line with market practice, performance based incentive programs form a key component of total remuneration for Messrs Earner and Chalmers. A significant portion of total annual remuneration has been placed at-risk to better align the executive Directors’ interests with those of Shareholders, to encourage long term sustainable growth and to assist with retention.

Resolutions 3 and 4 seek Shareholder approval for the grant of the following long term incentive allocations for the financial year ending 30 June 2021 and the allocation of Shares (upon the vesting and exercise of those Performance Rights) in accordance with the Plan and Scheme:


nce Rights) in accordance

with the Plan and Scheme:
Nicholas Paul Earner 825,115 Performance Rights
David Ian Chalmers 193,809 Performance Rights

For each Performance Right that vests and is exercised, the Company will allocate one Share. Further details regarding the Performance Rights are set out below.

3.2 FY2022 LTI (for the three year period ending 30 June 2024)

The Scheme is an annual LTI scheme based on financial years, with performance periods of three years' duration set at the start of each financial year. The Scheme uses the Plan (as updated and approved by Shareholders from time to time) as the vehicle for granting the appropriate incentives.

Mr Earner is entitled to receive up to 130% of his salary in value (as at September 2021) in long term Performance Rights, with vesting dependent on achievement of the Shareholder value performance hurdles detailed below, measured over a three year period. This is the maximum potential allocation under the Scheme in relation to his total remuneration package for the year ending 30 June 2022.

Mr Chalmers is entitled to receive up to 60% of his salary in value (as at September 2021) in long term Performance Rights, with vesting dependent on achievement of the Shareholder value performance hurdles detailed below, measured over a three year period. This is the maximum potential allocation under the Scheme in relation to his total remuneration package for the year ending 30 June 2022.

The Board is seeking approval from Shareholders for the issue of 825,115 Performance Rights to Mr Earner (subject

Page 12 of 34

Alkane Resources Ltd – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021

==> picture [63 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

of Resolution 3) and 193,809 Performance Rights to Mr Chalmers (subject of Resolution 4) under the Scheme and Plan for the purposes of sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act, Listing Rule 10.14 and all other purposes.

Performance period

The FY2022 LTI grant will be performance tested from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024.

Vesting conditions and performance hurdles

Performance Rights will vest dependent on the Company meeting the performance hurdles during the specified three year performance period. All of the Performance Rights are subject to a total shareholder return performance hurdle. As at 30 June 2024, the Company’s TSR will be compared to the Gold Index TSR and the number of Performance Rights will vest according to performance as follows:

Shareholder return comparison Proportion of Performance Rights
that vest
TSR is less than Gold Index TSR 0%
TSR is equal to Gold Index TSR 25%(1)
TSR is >5% and <10% greater than
Gold Index TSR
50%(1)
TSR is equal to or >10% greater than
Gold Index TSR
100%(1)

Note 1: Straight line pro rata vesting of Performance Rights will occur if TSR is between above noted ranges.

Change of control

In the event of a change of control the Board will make a determination as to how unvested Performance Rights and any vested but unexercised Performance Rights will be dealt with, and, in doing so, may determine, in its absolute discretion that unvested Performance Rights vest (in whole or in part) and any vested but unexercised Performance Rights are deemed to have been exercised and may impose any conditions on such vesting or exercising as it thinks fit.

In making its determination, the Board will have regard, without limitation, to the extent to which the performance criteria in respect of a Participant's Performance Rights have been satisfied as at the relevant date.

Treatment of Performance Rights on cessation of employment

Performance Rights will automatically lapse upon cessation of employment unless employment ceases because of a "Qualifying Reason". For further detail see Annexure A and Annexure B.

3.3 Listing Rule approval

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • (a) a director of the company (Listing Rule 10.14.1);

  • (b) an associate of a director of the company (Listing Rule 10.14.2); or

  • (c) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 to Listing Rule 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of the Performance Rights falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 (as Mr Earner and Mr Chalmers are Directors) and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 3 and 4 seek the required Shareholder approval to the proposed issue of Performance Rights to Mr Earner and Mr Chalmers, respectively, under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of 825,115 Performance Rights to Mr Earner. If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of 193,809 Performance Rights to Mr Chalmers.

If Resolution 3 and/or Resolution 4 is/are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights and the Company will negotiate with Mr Earner and/or Mr Chalmers an appropriate alternative payment, seeking further shareholder approval if required.

Further, if Resolutions 3 and 4 are approved for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2

Alkane Resources Ltd – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021

==> picture [63 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

In addition, approval under Listing Rule 10.14 is an exception to the prohibition on a company issuing shares to related parties without member approval under Listing Rule 10.11.

(h) If Resolutions 3 and 4 are approved, the Company proposes to issue the Performance Rights to Messrs Earner and Chalmers as soon as practicable and, in any event, within three years from the date of this Annual General Meeting.

Any additional persons who become entitled to participate in the Plan after Resolutions 3 and 4 are approved and who were not named in this Notice, will not participate until Shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

  • (m) Voting exclusion statements for Resolutions 3 and 4 are included in this Notice.

3.5 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. For the purposes of Chapter 2E, Mr Earner, being the Managing Director, and Mr Chalmers, being the Technical Director, are "related parties" of the Company and the grant of the Performance Rights (including the Shares issued on the vesting and exercise of those Performance Rights) pursuant to the Performance Rights will constitute the giving of "financial benefits".

The Board (other than Mr Earner in respect of Resolution 3 and Mr Chalmers in respect of Resolution 4) considers that the grant of the Performance Rights (including the allocation of Shares on the vesting and exercise of those Performance Rights) to Mr Earner and Mr Chalmers (respectively) is an appropriate and reasonable component of their remuneration, and that the financial benefit represented by the grant of the Performance Rights (including the allocation of Shares on the vesting and exercise of those Performance Rights) falls within the "reasonable remuneration" exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act. For this reason, the Company is not seeking Shareholder approval of Resolution 3 or Resolution 4 for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

Page 16 of 34

Alkane Resources Ltd – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021

==> picture [63 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

3.6 Sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act

The Corporations Act provides that the Company may only give a person a benefit in connection with their ceasing to hold a "managerial or executive office" in the Company, or its related bodies corporate, if it is approved by Shareholders or an exemption applies (for example, where the benefit together with other benefits does not exceed the payment limits set out in the Corporations Act, including where the aggregate benefits do not exceed one year's average base salary).

The term "benefit" is open to a wide interpretation and may include the early or accelerated vesting (allowing for subsequent exercise by the holder, where relevant) of Performance Rights under the Plan. As outlined in the summary of the Plan in the Company’s 2019 notice of annual general meeting, early or accelerated vesting may occur, subject to the Directors' absolute discretion, in various circumstances including the end of employment with the Group.

If the Board were to exercise its discretion to vest some or all of the Performance Rights early in the circumstances referred to above, this may amount to the giving of a termination benefit requiring Shareholder approval in accordance with the Corporations Act. Shareholder approval of Resolutions 3 and 4 are also being sought so that early or accelerated vesting (allowing for subsequent exercise by the holder, where relevant) of the Performance Rights and the allocation of Shares (upon the vesting and exercise of the Performance Rights) do not count towards such maximum termination amounts for the purposes of the Corporations Act.

Details of Mr Earner’s and Mr Chalmers’ remuneration, including other termination benefits, are set out in the Company’s Annual Report as released to ASX.

The value of any benefits cannot be ascertained at the present time. The benefits will be the market value of Shares issued or transferred to Mr Earner or Mr Chalmers on vesting (and exercise, where relevant) of such benefits. Apart from the future Share price being unknown, the following are matters which will or are likely to affect the value of the benefits:

  • (a) the performance criteria determined to apply to the Performance Rights;

  • (b) the reasons for cessation of employment;

  • (c) the number of Performance Rights granted to Mr Earner or Mr Chalmers;

  • (d) employee and Company performance factors used to determine vesting of Performance Rights;

  • (e) the amount of other remuneration payable to Mr Earner or Mr Chalmers; and

  • (f) the exercise of the Directors' discretion at the relevant time.

3.7 Directors' recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Earner in respect of Resolution 3 and Mr Chalmers in respect of Resolution 4) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4 as they believe, based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Statement, the granting of these Performance Rights will align Messrs Earner and Chalmers’ rewards with the long-term creation of value for Shareholders.

As Mr Earner has an interest in the outcome of Resolution 3 and Mr Chalmers has an interest in the outcome of Resolution 4, they make no recommendation to Shareholders as to how to vote on those Resolutions, respectively.

4. RESOLUTIONS 5 AND 6: APPROVAL OF THE GRANT OF RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS (SHORT TERM INCENTIVES)

4.1 General

Resolutions 5 and 6 seek approval for:

  • (a) the grant of Restricted Performance Rights (pursuant to the terms of the Plan); and

  • (b) the issue or transfer of Shares upon the vesting and exercise of those Restricted Performance Rights,

to the Company’s executive Directors, Messrs Nicholas Paul Earner and David Ian Chalmers under the Company’s Executive Incentive Scheme for executive short term incentives.

The terms of the Plan were approved by Shareholders at the Company's 2019 annual general meeting, and are summarised in Annexure B.

In line with market practice, performance based incentive programs form a key component of total remuneration for Messrs Earner and Chalmers. A significant portion of total annual remuneration has been placed at-risk to better align the executive Directors’ interests with those of Shareholders, to encourage long term sustainable growth and to assist with retention.

Resolutions 5 and 6 seek Shareholder approval for the grant of the following short term incentive allocations for and the allocation of Shares (upon the vesting and exercise of those Restricted Performance Rights) in accordance with the Plan and Scheme:

Nicholas Paul Earner 184,552 Restricted Performance Rights David Ian Chalmers 67,833 Restricted Performance Rights

For each Restricted Performance Right that vests and is exercised, the Company will allocate one Share. Further details regarding the Restricted Performance Rights are set out below.

4.2 Listing Rule approval

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • (a) a director of the company (Listing Rule 10.14.1);

  • (b) an associate of a director of the company (Listing Rule 10.14.2); or

  • (c) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 to Listing Rule 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of the Restricted Performance Rights falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 (as Mr Earner and Mr Chalmers are Directors) and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 5 and 6 seek the required Shareholder approval to the proposed issue of Restricted Performance Rights to Mr Earner and Mr Chalmers, respectively, under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of 184,552 Restricted Performance Rights to Mr Earner. If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of 67,833 Restricted Performance Rights to Mr Chalmers.

If Resolution 5 and/or Resolution 6 is/are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Restricted Performance Rights and the Company will negotiate with Mr Earner and/or Mr Chalmers an appropriate alternative payment, seeking further shareholder approval if required.

Further, if Resolutions 5 and 6 are approved for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14) a grant of Restricted Performance Rights or an issue of Shares (upon the vesting and exercise of those Restricted Performance Rights) will not reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and separate approval of Resolutions 5 and 6 is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. In addition, approval under Listing Rule 10.14 is an exception to the prohibition on a company issuing shares to related parties without member approval under Listing Rule 10.11.

Each of Resolutions 5 and 6 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders entitled to vote on it.

4.3 Information required by Listing Rule 10.15

4.2 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. For the purposes of Chapter 2E, Mr Earner, being the Managing Director, and Mr Chalmers, being the Technical Director, are "related parties" of the Company and the grant of the Restricted Performance Rights (including the Shares issued on the vesting and exercise of those Restricted Performance Rights) pursuant to the Restricted Performance Rights will constitute the giving of "financial benefits".

The Board (other than Mr Earner in respect of Resolution 5 and Mr Chalmers in respect of Resolution 6) considers that the grant of the Restricted Performance Rights (including the allocation of Shares on the vesting and exercise of those Restricted Performance Rights) to Mr Earner and Mr Chalmers (respectively) is an appropriate and reasonable component of their remuneration, and that the financial benefit represented by the grant of the Restricted Performance Rights (including the allocation of Shares on the vesting and exercise of those Restricted Performance Rights) falls within the "reasonable remuneration" exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act. For this reason, the Company is not seeking Shareholder approval of Resolution 5 or Resolution 6 for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

4.3 Sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act

The Corporations Act provides that the Company may only give a person a benefit in connection with their ceasing to hold a "managerial or executive office" in the Company, or its related bodies corporate, if it is approved by Shareholders or an exemption applies (for example, where the benefit together with other benefits does not exceed the payment limits set out in the Corporations Act, including where the aggregate benefits do not exceed one year's average base salary).

The term "benefit" is open to a wide interpretation and may include the early or accelerated vesting (allowing for subsequent exercise by the holder, where relevant) of Restricted Performance Rights under the Plan. As outlined in the summary of the Plan in the Company’s 2019 notice of annual general meeting, early or accelerated vesting may occur, subject to the Directors' absolute discretion, in various circumstances including the end of employment with the Group.

If the Board were to exercise its discretion to vest some or all of the Restricted Performance Rights early in the circumstances referred to above, this may amount to the giving of a termination benefit requiring Shareholder approval in accordance with the Corporations Act. Shareholder approval of Resolutions 5 and 6 are also being sought so that early or accelerated vesting (allowing for subsequent exercise by the holder, where relevant) of the Restricted Performance Rights and the allocation of Shares (upon the vesting and exercise of the Restricted Performance Rights) do not count towards such maximum termination amounts for the purposes of the Corporations Act.

Details of Mr Earner’s and Mr Chalmers’ remuneration, including other termination benefits, are set out in the Company’s Annual Report as released to ASX.

The value of any benefits cannot be ascertained at the present time. The benefits will be the market value of Shares issued or transferred to Mr Earner or Mr Chalmers on vesting (and exercise, where relevant) of such benefits. Apart from the future Share price being unknown, the following are matters which will or are likely to affect the value of the benefits:

  • (a) the vesting conditions applied to the Restricted Performance Rights;

  • (b) the reasons for cessation of employment;

  • (c) the number of Restricted Performance Rights granted to Mr Earner or Mr Chalmers; and

  • (d) the exercise of the Directors' discretion at the relevant time.

4.4 Directors' recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Earner in respect of Resolution 5 and Mr Chalmers in respect of Resolution 6) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 5 and 6 as they believe, based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Statement, the granting of these Restricted Performance Rights will align Messrs Earner and Chalmers’ rewards with the creation of value for Shareholders.

As Mr Earner has an interest in the outcome of Resolution 5 and Mr Chalmers has an interest in the outcome of Resolution 6, they make no recommendation to Shareholders as to how to vote on those Resolutions, respectively.

5. RESOLUTION 7 – INCREASE IN MAXIMUM AGGREGATE REMUNERATION FOR NONEXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

5.1 General

Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the aggregate amount of the remuneration payable by it or its child entities as Directors’ fees to non-executive Directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities. This requirement is reflected in rule 10.2 of the Constitution.

Executive Directors receive salary and other remuneration in accordance with the terms of their employment agreements, but do not receive Directors’ fees. The remuneration paid by the Company to the executive Directors is not included in the maximum aggregate amount of Directors’ fees for the purpose of this Resolution. The relevant remuneration is all fees payable to a non-executive Director for acting as a director of the Company (including attending and participating in any Board committee meetings) and includes superannuation contributions for the benefit of a non-executive Director and any fees which a non-executive Director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits.

The current maximum aggregate remuneration available for non-executive Directors set at $700,000 was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 16 May 2013.

As set out in further detail below, the Directors consider it is reasonable and appropriate given the Company growth since listing to seek Shareholder approval for an increase to the maximum fee pool for non-executive Directors in recognition of the need to pay market competitive fees to ensure the Company is able to attract and retain non-executive Directors of the requisite calibre for the Company’s Board and in recognition of Directors’ increased workloads.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the maximum Directors’ fees that may be paid to all of the Company’s non-executive Directors in each financial year increases from $700,000 to $950,000 (an increase of $250,000). The remuneration of each non-executive Director for the year ended 30 June 2021 is detailed in the Remuneration Report contained in the Annual Report.

The Directors take the view that based on best practice, it is appropriate to increase the maximum non-executive Director remuneration pool to provide flexibility to attract and retain non-executive directors on remuneration terms commensurate with their skills and expertise and the Company’s size and stage of development.

The increase is in line with non-executive director fee pools of comparable companies and the Board does not, however, intend to pay the full amount of the increase in the short to medium term.

No options or performance rights are currently held by non-executive directors. No securities have been issued to a non-executive Director under Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 with the approval of Shareholders at any time in the previous 3 years.

Resolution 7 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

Accordingly, the Board considers it appropriate to put this proposed increase to the Shareholders at this time.

Disclosure of Directors’ remuneration will continue to be made to Shareholders in each annual report in accordance with applicable legal and ASX requirements. If Shareholder approval is obtained, the increased fee pool will apply for the financial year ending 30 June 2022.

5.2 Voting exclusion

A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 7, as set out in the Notice.

5.3 Directors’ recommendation

Given the interest of the non-executive Directors (Mr Gandel, Mr Lethlean and Mr Smith) in Resolution 7, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.

6. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF POTENTIAL TERMINATION BENEFITS

6.1 Reason for seeking shareholder approval

The benefits ( termination benefits ) that can be given, without shareholder approval, to members of the Company who hold a hold a managerial or executive office, as defined in the Corporations Act ( Managerial or Executive Office ), on cessation of their employment or retirement from office with Alkane or a Related Body Corporate, are restricted by Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act.

Page 22 of 34

Alkane Resources Ltd – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021

==> picture [63 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

These restrictions apply to individuals (ie to Relevant Executives) who hold a Managerial or Executive Office in Alkane or a related body corporate and to individuals who have held such an office during the last three years before they ceased to hold such an office or position of employment. This includes members of the Company's KMP, which includes all the Company's directors, and directors of subsidiary companies of Alkane.

Under Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act, a Relevant Executive may only be given a benefit in connection with their ceasing to hold their office or position if it is approved by shareholders or an exemption applies. The exemptions include an exemption for benefits such as statutory entitlements to accrued annual and long-service leave, amounts required to be paid by law or by court order, certain types of "deferred bonuses" and, subject to certain conditions, payments made in accordance with a company’s redundancy policy. Beyond that, in general terms, certain benefits are permitted if they are within a monetary cap. This cap is broadly equivalent to the average 12-months' base salary of the person concerned over the three years preceding cessation of office. If termination benefits are provided beyond those permitted by the Corporations Act, a breach of the Corporations Act can occur even if the Relevant Executive has a pre-existing contractual entitlement to the benefit.

Approval is therefore being sought in relation to Alkane's remuneration policy and practices and commitments. This approval seeks to preserve the discretion of the Board and Remuneration Committee to determine the most appropriate leaving entitlements for holders of Managerial or Executive Office under their relevant employment agreements and incentive plans. Details of the remuneration policy (including information about potential termination benefits) are included in Alkane's 2021 Remuneration Report, contained in Alkane's 2021 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report has been voted on by Alkane shareholders at previous AGMs and has consistently received strong support from shareholders.

Alkane's policy in relation to termination entitlements is to treat employees (including Relevant Executives) appropriately and in accordance with applicable laws, Alkane policy and having regard to market practice. As such, the Board considers it is prudent to seek shareholder approval in respect of the potential termination entitlements or benefits payable (or that could become payable) to any current or future employees who are Relevant Executives at the time of cessation of their employment, or who were Relevant Executives at any time in the three years prior to cessation.

6.2 Approval is sought for a three year period

If shareholder approval is obtained, it will be effective from the date the resolution is passed until the conclusion of the 2024 AGM. If considered appropriate, the Board may seek further shareholder approval at the 2024 AGM for the giving of termination benefits to Relevant Executives after the 2024 AGM.

For completeness, the approval sought by the resolution is in addition to, and in no way derogates from, the approval given at Alkane's 2017 AGM in relation to the termination benefits that may be given to Alkane's Managing Director, Mr Nicholas Earner or those termination benefits for which approval is sought under resolutions 3, 4, 5 or 6.

It can be reasonably anticipated that Alkane's relevant employment agreements and incentive plans will be amended (or replaced) from time to time in line with changing governance standards, market practice and, where required, changes in relation to KMP that will be reported in the Remuneration Report.

However, if shareholder approval is obtained, this approval will remain valid for as long as the relevant employment agreements and incentive plans applying to the Relevant Executives provide for the entitlements, exercise of discretions and treatments on cessation of employment as set out in the "Potential termination benefits subject to approval" section below.

6.3 Approval is sought for the following benefits or entitlements

The potential termination benefits for which approval is sought are detailed in the "Potential termination benefits subject to approval" section below.

Shareholders are not being asked to approve any change or increase in the remuneration or benefits or entitlements for Relevant Executives, or any variations to the existing discretions of the Board and Remuneration Committee. Rather, shareholders are being asked to approve Alkane's policy and practices, including the discretions of the Board and Remuneration Committee, so as to enable Alkane to continue to operate its remuneration programmes to support Alkane's strategy, as described in the Remuneration Report.

If shareholder approval is given, the Board intends that no other termination benefits will be provided to Relevant Executives in connection with cessation of their employment, other than those within the scope of the approval, or within the scope of other approvals given from time to time by shareholders, or which are not otherwise prohibited under Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act.

Your Board believes it to be in the best interests of Alkane that shareholder approval be given. If approval is not given by shareholders, Alkane will be limited as to the benefits that may be provided to Relevant Executives. This

Page 23 of 34

Alkane Resources Ltd – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021

==> picture [63 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

may have an adverse impact on Alkane's ability to attract and retain key talent with appropriate experience, skills and qualifications, and to build a diverse, sustainable and high achieving workforce.

6.4 The value of the benefits or entitlements

The amount and value of the termination benefits for which shareholder approval is sought is the maximum potential benefit that could be provided from time to time for each of the categories described in the "Potential termination benefits subject to approval" section below. Approval of these termination benefits does not guarantee that any specific individual will receive those termination benefits. Depending on the circumstances of cessation, any specified individual may not ultimately receive the benefits covered by this approval (in whole or part) or may, subject to the restrictions in Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act, receive termination benefits that are different from those for which shareholder approval is sought.

The amount and value of the potential termination benefits that may be provided to Relevant Executives (and for which shareholder approval is sought) cannot be ascertained in advance. This is because various matters, events and circumstances will, or are likely to, affect the calculation of that amount or value. Matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to, affect the calculation of the amount and value of any termination benefit or entitlement are:

  • (a) the circumstances in which the individual ceases to hold office or ceases employment and whether they serve all or part of any applicable notice period;

  • (b) the base salary and TFR of the individual at the relevant time;

  • (c) any change in the individual's role, such as a redeployment;

  • (d) the number of unvested equity securities held by the individual at the time of cessation and the number that either the Board or Remuneration Committee determines to vest, lapse or leave on foot in accordance with the relevant incentive plans (as applicable);

  • (e) the price of Alkane's shares on ASX when the value of any equity-based cessation entitlement or benefit is determined;

  • (f) the value of any payment or contribution that may arise, and be paid, in respect of the notice period provided under the employment or service agreement; and

  • (g) any changes in law between the date Alkane enters into an employment or service agreement with the Relevant Executive and the date the Relevant Executive ceases to hold office or employment.

6.5 Potential termination benefits subject to approval

The potential termination benefits are detailed below. Not all of the benefits described below require shareholder approval. However, in the interests of good governance and transparency, the Board considers it appropriate to seek approval for such benefits.

Additional details regarding the relevant agreements and plans are set out in the Remuneration Report which is available on Alkane's website (at https://www.alkane.com.au/) or on ASX's website (www.asx.com.au).

(a) Employment Agreements As described in Alkane's 2021 Remuneration Report, the executive members of the Company's KMP and other Alkane employees are employed under service agreements. These agreements are capable of termination by Alkane or the Relevant Executive giving notice of a specified period. The period of notice varies as between Relevant Executives but in no case does it exceed 6 months.

Alkane may make a payment in lieu of some or all of the notice period in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement. The payment is calculated by reference to the TFR of the Relevant Executive concerned.

In addition to any payment in lieu of notice, some Relevant Executives may be entitled to payment from the end of the period of notice (being up to 12 months' pay, confirmed depending on the individual employment agreement).

Accrued, but untaken, annual leave and any long-service leave will be paid out on termination, in accordance with legislation.

In certain circumstances, incentives granted or issued but not yet vested may be vested and exercisable (if applicable) on termination by notice (if applicable and subject to the payment of any exercise price and the terms of the applicable employee incentive arrangements).

Page 24 of 34

Alkane Resources Ltd – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021

==> picture [63 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

(i) Diminution of Role

Depending on the individual employment agreement, certain Relevant Executives may be entitled to resign from their employment with Alkane or the relevant Related Body Corporate of Alkane (as applicable) in the event of a material diminution of their authority, duties status or responsibilities in their role, a change in their direct reporting relationship with Alkane or the relevant Related Body Corporate of Alkane (as applicable), or a permanent change to location of their employment.

If such Relevant Executive resigns from their role on the basis of a material diminution, the Relevant Executive must give Alkane or the relevant Related Body Corporate of Alkane (as applicable) a specified minimum period of notice (being up to two weeks' notice, depending on the individual employment agreement) at any time during the 12 months following the occurrence of any such material diminution.

If Alkane or the relevant Related Body Corporate of Alkane (as applicable) receives such notice, Alkane or the relevant Related Body Corporate of Alkane (as applicable) will provide that Relevant Executive with 12 months' payment in lieu of notice of termination of employment from the end of the notice period, calculated on the basis of the Relevant Executive's TFR at the relevant time.

In certain circumstances, incentives granted or issued (but not yet vested) may be vested and exercisable (if applicable and subject to payment of any applicable exercise price and the terms of the applicable employee incentive arrangements).

(b) Performance Rights Plan

Under the Company's Performance Rights Plan, participants (which may include KMP and other holders of a Managerial or Executive Office) may have an opportunity to be granted short term and long term incentives in the form of performance rights (calculated at the time of approval by the Remuneration Committee). Any Performance Rights granted to eligible participants will be issued in accordance with the Performance Rights Plan and will be provided in the form of rights to ordinary shares in Alkane that will vest at the end of the specified vesting period provided the predefined targets are met. On vesting, the rights automatically convert into Shares. Participants do not receive any dividends and are not entitled to vote in relation to the rights to shares prior to the vesting period.

  • (i) Cessation for non-Qualifying Reason

If a participant in the Performance Rights Plan ceases to be employed by Alkane within the relevant vesting period, the rights will be forfeited, except in limited circumstances that are approved by the Board on a case-by-case basis, in the event of a "Qualifying Reason".

  • (ii) Qualifying Reason

The Board has discretion to approve the retention of Performance Rights to employees on cessation of employment with the Alkane Group in the following circumstances, each of which is a Qualifying Reason:

  • (A) death of the participant;

  • (B) total and permanent disablement of the participant;

  • (C) retirement of the participant;

  • (D) the employer (if a Related Body Corporate of Alkane):

  • (aa) ceases to be a Related Body Corporate of Alkane and that causes the participant to cease being employed by Alkane or a Related Body Corporate; or

  • (bb) sells a business it conducts to someone other than Alkane or a Related Body Corporate, and that causes the participant to cease their employment; or

  • (E) any other reason as determined the Board to be a Qualifying Reason in its absolute discretion.

If a participant ceases to be employed by a member of the Alkane Group (and is not immediately employed by another member of the Group) because of a Qualifying Reason, the unvested Performance Rights of that participant will be treated on the following basis:

Page 25 of 34

Alkane Resources Ltd – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021

==> picture [63 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

  • (A) if less than six months of the Performance Period relating to those Performance Rights has elapsed at the date of the cessation of employment, all of the Performance Rights will lapse (unless the Board, in its absolute discretion, determines otherwise); and

  • (B) if six months or more of the Performance Period relating to those Performance Rights has elapsed at the date of cessation of employment, then (unless the Board, in its absolute discretion, determines otherwise) no action will be taken in respect of those Performance Rights until the end of the Performance Period. Following the end of the Performance Period, the number of Performance Rights of that participant that will not lapse will be calculated on a pro rata basis having regard to the number of days:

  • (aa) from the beginning of the Performance Period up to (and including) the date of cessation of employment; and

  • (bb) in the Performance Period,

  • with the balance of the unvested Performance Rights of that participant automatically lapsing.

The Performance Rights calculated in accordance with the above that do not lapse must be taken into account for the purposes of the Board's determination of the number of unvested Performance Rights held by the relevant participant in respect of which the Performance Criteria were satisfied over the Performance Period.

If a participant ceases to be employed by Alkane, or a Related Body Corporate, and is not immediately employed by another Related Body Corporate of Alkane, because of a Qualifying Reason, any vested but unexercised Performance Rights held by that participant will immediately be deemed to have been exercised.

ANNEXURE B

SUMMARY OF THE TERMS OF THE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS PLAN

The Plan provides "Eligible Employees" the opportunity to receive Performance Rights for no consideration, as determined in the Board's absolute discretion. The key features of the Plan are set out below. In this summary, references to "Performance Rights" includes "Restricted Performance Rights" as the context requires.

Purpose and term The Plan was established to assist in the recruitment, reward, retention and
motivation of Eligible Employees.
Under the Plan the Board may grant Performance Rights to Eligible Employees
on terms fixed in accordance with the Plan.
The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it.
Commencement 17 May 2011
Performance rights Each Performance Right will represent a right to acquire one Share, subject to
the terms of the Plan.
A Performance Right granted to a Participant under the Plan is granted for no
cash consideration. If Performance Rights vest under the Plan, no amount is
payable by a Participant in respect of those Performance Rights vesting, or the
subsequent issue or transfer of Shares in respect of them.
A Participant does not have a legal or beneficial interest in any Share by virtue
of acquiring or holding a Performance Right. A Participant's rights under a
Performance Right are purely contractual and personal. In particular, a
Participant is not entitled to participate in or receive any dividends or other
shareholder benefits until the Performance Right has vested and a Share has
been issued or transferred to the Participant.
Performance Rights will not be quoted on ASX. Provided that other Shares are
quoted on ASX at the time, the Company will apply to ASX for quotation of
Shares issued on vesting of Performance Rights as soon as practicable after the
issue of those Shares.
Any Share issued or transferred to a Participant upon vesting of a Performance
Right, will be subject to the Constitution and will rank equally in every way
(including for dividends for which the record date is after the date of issue or
transfer) with other Shares then on issue.
Invitations to participate in The Board may from time to time in its absolute discretion decide that a full time
the Plan or part time employee of a Group Member who holds salaried employment with
a Group Member on a full time or part time basis (Eligible Employee) is eligible
to participate in the Plan and may invite them to apply for Performance Rights.
An Eligible Employee who is invited to participate in the Plan will receive a written
invitation. The invitation will set out, amongst other things, the number of
Performance Rights the Eligible Employee is invited to apply for, the performance
criteria to which those Performance Rights will be subject (Performance
Criteria), and the period of time over which the Performance Criteria must be
satisfied (Performance Period), before the Performance Rights can vest.
Performance Criteria and The Board's discretion includes determining the number of Performance Rights
Performance Period the Eligible Employee is invited to apply for, and the Performance Criteria, and
Performance Period over which Performance Criteria is assessed, applicable to
those Performance Rights.
Vesting of Performance A Performance Right granted to a Participant will vest:
Rights

Page 31 of 34

Alkane Resources Ltd – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021

==> picture [63 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

  • at the end of the Performance Period upon the Board giving written notice to the relevant Participant of the number of Performance Rights in respect of which the Performance Criteria were satisfied over the Performance Period; or

  • if the Board allows early vesting as a result of an event such as a takeover bid or scheme of arrangement or the cessation of employment of the Participant for a "Qualifying Reason" (see below).

Transfers

A Performance Right granted under the Plan is only transferable by force of law upon death to the Participant's legal personal representative or upon bankruptcy to the Participant's trustee in bankruptcy.

Subject to the above, Participants are not to grant any security interest in or over or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Performance Rights or any interest in them until the relevant Shares are issued or transferred to that Participant, and any such security interest or disposal or dealing will not be recognised in any manner by the Company.

Exercise on vesting

If an Invitation provides for:

  • the deemed automatic exercise of a Performance Right, no further action is required from the Participant upon vesting of a Performance Right in order to exercise that Performance Right; or

  • the manual exercise of a vested Performance Right, a Participant may exercise any vested Performance Right at any time from the date the Board notifies the Participant of the vesting of the Performance Right until the date on which a Performance Right lapses, by giving the prescribed form of notice to the Board.

Lapse of Performance An unvested Performance Right, or (where applicable) a vested but unexercised Rights Performance Right, will lapse on the earliest to occur of:

  • the end of the Performance Period if the Performance Criteria relating to the Performance Right have not been satisfied;

  • the Participant purporting to transfer a Performance Right or grant a security interest in or over, or otherwise purporting to dispose of or deal with, a Performance Right or interest in it (except where the Performance Right is transferred by force of law upon death to the Participant's legal personal representative or upon bankruptcy to the Participant's trustee in bankruptcy);

  • the Participant ceasing employment with a Group Member (and is not immediately employed by another Group Member), except in certain circumstances as explained below under the heading "Qualifying Reason and cessation of employment";

  • if in the opinion of the Board, the Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly or in breach of his or her obligations to the Group, and the Board determining that the Performance Rights held by the Participant should lapse;

  • an event such as a takeover bid or scheme of arrangement occurring (in certain circumstances subject to the Board's discretion); and

  • the date that is fifteen years after the grant of the Performance Right.

Qualifying Reason and cessation of employment

Performance Rights of a Participant will automatically lapse if the Participant ceases to be employed by a Group Member (and is not immediately employed by another Group Member), unless the Participant ceases to be employed because of a "Qualifying Reason" in which case that Participant's Performance Rights will be treated as follows:

  • if less than six months of the Performance Period relating to those Performance Rights has elapsed at the date of cessation of employment, all of those Performance Rights will lapse (unless the Board, in its absolute discretion, determines otherwise); and

Page 32 of 34

Alkane Resources Ltd – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021

==> picture [63 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

  • if six months or more of the Performance Period relating to those Performance Rights has elapsed at the date of cessation of employment, then (unless the Board, in its absolute discretion, determines otherwise) a proportion of the Participant's Performance Rights (calculated by reference to the number of days in the Performance Period which have elapsed as the date of cessation of employment) will be capable of vesting. Such Performance Rights will only vest (unless the Board, in its absolute discretion, determines otherwise) if over the Performance Period the Performance Criteria in respect of those Performance Rights were satisfied and the Board gives notice to the Participant of its determination to that effect. In such circumstances, the remaining Performance Rights of the Participant which do not vest will lapse.

If a Participant ceases to be employed by a Group Member (and is not immediately employed by another Group Member) because of a Qualifying Reason, any vested but unexercised Performance Rights held by that Participant will immediately be deemed to have been exercised.

A "Qualifying Reason" includes the death, total and permanent disablement or retirement of the Participant (as determined by the Board in its absolute discretion), or where the Participant ceases to be employed by a Group Member as a result of a relevant body corporate ceasing to be a Group Member or the sale of a business conducted by a Group Member to a third party (other than to another Group Member). The Board may also determine, in its absolute discretion, that any other reason will constitute a "Qualifying Reason".

Share limit

  • The Board must not issue an Invitation, or issue a Share under the Plan, if the sum of:

  • a) the number of Shares which would be issued were each outstanding offer with respect to Shares, units of Shares, and options to acquire unissued Shares, under an employee share scheme to be accepted or exercised; and

  • b) the number of Shares issued during the previous three years under the Plan or any other employee share scheme extended to Eligible Employees,

but excluding any offer made, or option acquired, or Shares issued by way of or as a result of specified excluded offers, would exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at that time.

Impact of takeover bid or scheme

If:

  • a) a takeover bid (as defined in the Corporations Act) is made for Shares before the end of the Performance Period;

  • b) a Court orders a meeting to be held in relation to a proposed compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies; or

  • c) any person becomes bound or entitled to acquire Shares under:

  • (i) section 414 of the Corporations Act; or

  • (ii) Chapter 6A of the Corporations Act,

the Board will make a determination as to how a Participant's unvested Performance Rights and any vested but unexercised Performance Rights will be dealt with, and, in doing so, may determine, in its absolute discretion that a Participant's unvested Performance Rights vest (in whole or in part) and any vested but unexercised Performance Rights are deemed to have been exercised and may impose any conditions on such vesting or exercising as it thinks fit.

In making its determination, the Board will have regard, without limitation, to the extent to which the Performance Criteria in respect of a Participant's Performance Rights have been satisfied as at the relevant date.

Adjustments upon Subject to the Listing Rules, if the Company makes a new issue of securities or alterations of capital alterations to its capital by way of a rights issue, bonus issue or other distribution of capital, reduction of capital or reconstruction of capital, then the Board may

Page 33 of 34

Alkane Resources Ltd – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021

==> picture [63 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

make adjustments to a Participant's Performance Rights (including, without limitation, to the number of Shares which may be acquired on vesting of the Performance Rights) and/or the Performance Criteria on any basis its sees fit in its absolute discretion to ensure that no advantage or disadvantage accrues to the Participant as a result of such corporate actions. Subject to the above adjustments, during the currency of any Performance Rights and prior to vesting and the issue or transfer of Shares in respect of those Performance Rights, Participants are not entitled to participate in any new issue of securities of the Company as a result of their holding of Performance Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of the rules of the Plan dealing with adjustments, an adjustment must not be made under such adjustment rules unless it is consistent with the Listing Rules. The Company may amend the terms of any Performance Right, or the rights of any Participant under the Plan, to comply with the Listing Rules applying at the time to any reorganisations of capital of the Company.

Administration The Board will manage and administer the Plan, unless it decides to delegate the management and administration of the Plan, and any of its powers or discretions under the Plan, to a committee. Amendment of the Plan The Board may by written instrument amend all or any of the provisions of the Plan, with retrospective effect, provided that the amendment does not materially reduce the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of amendment. The Plan provisions do, however, provide that in limited circumstances (for example, for the purpose of complying with relevant legislation or the Listing Rules) amendments may be made even if they materially reduce the rights of a Participant.
