All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

  • (b) a proxy need not be a member of the Company; and

  • (c) a member of the Company entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.

2. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with section 317 of the Corporations Act and the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 together with the Declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ Report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at http://www.altechchemicals.com.

3. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

3.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

8

3.2 Voting consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

3.3 Previous voting results

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 Annual General Meeting.

4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

4. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

4.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 2, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 2 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 2 for it to be passed.

4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $54,664,440 (based on the number of Shares on issue and to be issued, and the closing price of $0.15 on the ASX on 27 October 2017).

An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has 1 class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: ATC).

If Shareholders approve Resolution 2, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

10

4.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 2:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX 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 5 (five) ASX trading days of the date in paragraph 0(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b)

Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

(c)

Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 2 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  2. (a) 364,429,597 existing Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting; and

  3. (b) 61,428,571 Shares which will be issued if Resolutions 7 and 10 are passed at this Meeting.

  4. No Options are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities

  5. No Employee Performance Rights, vest and convert to Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  6. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 27 October 2017.

  7. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  8. The Company has issued Shares in the previous 12 months. The Company has not issued any other Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. or 7.1A.

  9. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  10. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  11. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  12. 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%.

  13. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

12

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

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

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

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the continued development of the Company’s High Purity Alumina Project, acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition) and general working capital; or

  • (ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources assets and investments, in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e)

Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

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

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

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

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 11 November 2016 ( Previous Approval ).

Notes:

1. Market Price means the closing price on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the last trading day on which a sale was recorded prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities.

2. This is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Notice. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.

3. Fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, ASX Code: ATC (terms are set out in the Constitution).

(g) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will give to ASX:

4.4 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 2.

5. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS – LUKE ATKINS & TUNKU YAACOB KHYRA

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer.

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

15

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has 5 Directors and accordingly, 2 must retire.

Messrs Luke Atkins and Tunku Yaacob Khyra will retire in accordance with clause 13.2 of the Constitution and, being eligible, seek re-election.

Luke Atkins

Mr Atkins is a qualified lawyer with considerable experience as director of publicly listed and private companies in the resources sector. Mr Atkins was a founding director of Altech Chemicals Limited and has served as non-executive chairman of the Board May 2007.

If re-elected, the Board proposes that Mr Atkins will continue as chairman. The board supports the reelection of Mr Atkins and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Tunku Yaacob Khyra

Tunku Yaacob is a chartered accountant by profession, an experienced public company director and board chairman and a highly successful Malaysian businessman. Tunku Yaacob, via the shareholdings of Malaysian public company MAA Group Berhad (of which he is executive chairman) and Melewar International Investment Company Limited, controls approximately 14.4% of the Company’s Shares as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

The board supports the re-election of Tunku Yaacob and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES

Resolution 5 is seeking Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the ratification of a prior issue of shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

On 12 June 2017, the Company announced that it had raised $1.85 million via a share purchase plan (SPP) and a concurrent share placement. All Shares were issued at $0.11 per Share which represented a ~5% discount to the 5 day VWAP of the Company’s shares as traded on the ASX during the 5 days up to and including 7 June 2017, rounded down to the nearest half cent. A total of 16,850,031 Shares were issued on 9 June 2017, 15,090,939 Shares to SPP participants under an exemption to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and 1,759,092 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 11 November 2016.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the 1,759,092 Shares issued in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A ( Ratification ).

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.

16

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.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 5, the base figure (ie variable “A”) 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. Although, it is noted that the Company’s use of the 10% annual placement capacity following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 5 being passed by the requisite majority.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for ratification of the issue of the 1,759,092 Shares that was completed on 9 June 2017. By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, subject to Shareholders approving Resolution 2.

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:

  • (a) the total number of Shares issued by the Company was 1,759,092;

  • (b) the Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.11 each per Share;

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

  • (d) the Shares were issued prior to the Meeting to a variety of investors. None of these subscribers are related parties of the Company;

  • (e) the funds raised from this issue were applied towards the detailed design for the Company’s proposed high purity alumina (HPA) plant, and for corporate and general working capital purposes; and

  • (f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

7. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES (PLACEMENT TO SMS GROUP)

Resolution 6 is seeking Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the ratification of a prior issue of shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

On 12 July 2017, the Company announced that SMS group GmbH (SMS) had completed a subscription of USD100,000 of Company Shares. SMS is the appointed engineering, procurement and construction contractor for the Company’s proposed Malaysian high purity alumina (HPA) plant. 1,162,979 Shares were issued on 12 July 2017 at $0.11 per share to SMS Investments SA pursuant to the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 11 November 2016.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the 1,162,979 Shares issued in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A ( Ratification ).

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is set out in section 6 above.

17

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholder for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:

  • (a) the total number of Shares issued by the Company was 1,162,979;

  • (b) the Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.11 each per Share;

  • (c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. None of these subscribers are related parties of the Company;

  • (d) the Shares were issued on 12 July 2017 to SMS Investments SA;

  • (e) the funds raised from this issue were applied towards the detailed design for the Company’s proposed high purity alumina (HPA) plant, and for corporate and general working capital purposes; and

  • (f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

8. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF A $3,000,000 PLACEMENT TO TUNKU YAACOB KHYRA

On 27 October 2017, the Company announced a $3,000,000 Share placement to Mr Tunku Yaacob Khyra (or his nominees) at $0.14 per Share. Mr Tunku Yaacob Khyra is a non-executive director of the Company. The terms and conditions upon which the Shares will be issued to Tunku Yaacob Khyra (or his nominees) will be the same as all other participants in the share placement as announced on 27 October 2017.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act provides a general restriction against a company issuing securities to related parties without the prior approval of Shareholders.

Resolution 7 seeks approval for the Company to issue up of 21,428,571 Shares at an issue price of $0.14 per Share ($3,000,000) to Mr Tunku Yaacob Khyra (or his nominees) as is required by ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (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.

The participation will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Tunku Yaacob Khyra is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director of the Company.

The Directors (other than Tunku Yaacob Khyra who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of this issue of Shares to Mr Tunku Yaacob Khyra (or his nominees) because the Shares will be issued to Mr Tunku Yaacob Khyra (or his nominees) on the same terms as Shares issued to nonrelated party participants in the share placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

18

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

Shareholder approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 because Mr Tunku Yaacob Khyra is a Director of the Company and as such is a related party of the Company. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 restricts the Company's ability to issue securities to directors unless approval is obtained from Shareholders. The effect of passing Resolution 7 will be to allow the Company to issue a maximum of up to 21,528,471 Shares to Mr Tunku Yaacob Khyra (or his nominees) within one (1) month after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX) without breaching Listing Rule 10.11 or using up the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 of its 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11:

  • (a) the Shares shall be issued to Mr Tunku Yaacob Khyra (or his nominees);

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares the Company will issue is 21,428,571;

  • (c) the Shares will be issued no later than one (1) month after the date of the Meeting, or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow;

  • (d) Shares will be issued by the Company at an issue price of $0.14 each per Share, being the same as all other Shares issued to other participants the placement;

  • (e) the Shares will be all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (f) the funds raised from this issue are to be applied towards the completion of detailed design for the Company’s proposed high purity alumina (HPA) plant, and for corporate and general working capital purposes; and

  • (g) voting exclusion statements are included in the Notice.

9. RESOLUTIONS 8 AND 9 – RATIFICATION OF THE PLACEMENT OF SHARES TO VARIOUS PROFESSIONAL AND SOPHISTICATED INVESTORS

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

9.2 Resolution 9 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is set out in Section 6.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 9, the base figure (ie variable “A”) 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.

9.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4

10. RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL OF THE PLACEMENT OF SHARES TO SMS GROUP

Resolution 10 is seeking Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

On 27 October 2017 the Company announced that SMS, the appointed engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for the Company’s proposed Malaysian high purity alumina (HPA) plant, has agreed to subscribe to USD4.0 million of Company Shares at a price of $0.14 each per share. The precise number of Shares to be issued to SMS (or its nominee) pursuant to the share subscription cannot be determined until the USD4.0 million is remitted to the Company and converted into AUD. However, at the current USD/AUD exchange rate of approximately 0.77, the USD4.0 million equates to AUD5,194,805.20 and would result in the issue of 37,105,751 Shares at $0.14 each.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

  1. ( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

  2. ( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

  3. ( Signing instructions ):

  4. ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  5. ( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  6. ( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  7. ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.

  8. ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  9. ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:

  10. (a) post to Altech Chemicals Limited, Suite 8, 295 Rokeby Road, Subiaco WA 6008 ; or

  11. (b) e-mail to the Company at [email protected] ; or
