GENERAL MEETING – EXPLANATORY NOTES

These Explanatory Notes accompanying this Notice of Meeting are incorporated in and comprise part of this Notice of Meeting and should be read in conjunction with this Notice of Meeting.

If any Shareholder is in doubt as to how they should vote, they should seek advice from their legal, financial or other professional adviser prior to voting.

Introduction

These Explanatory Notes have been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be considered at the General Meeting of the Company. The Directors recommend Shareholders read these Explanatory Notes in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

Terms defined in the Notice of Meeting have the same meaning in these Explanatory Notes.

Resolution 1: Ratification of 20,000,000 Placement Shares

On 30 May 2024, the Company announced that it had received commitments to issue 20,000,000 Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.10 per Placement Share and 10,000,000 Placement Options (with an exercise price of $0.15 per Placement Option and expiry date of 31 July 2027) under a private placement to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors ( Placement ). The issue of Placement Options is subject to approval in accordance with Resolution 2. The issue of Shares pursuant to the Placement was undertaken under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company’s 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A limit the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% and 10% respectively of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Placement Shares did not fall within an exception and were issued without Shareholder approval under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to subsequently ratify the previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A, provided the issue did not breach the maximum threshold set by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under those rules.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A and thus the Company is seeking ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 1. The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the Placement Shares did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A at the date of issue.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.

If Resolutions 1 is not passed, the relevant issues will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.

6

Resolutions 2 and 3: Approval to Issue 10,000,000 Placement Options and 3,000,000 Broker Options to GBA Capital Pty Ltd (or its nominee)

On 30 May 2024, the Company announced that it had agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue 10,000,000 Placement Options to participants in the Placement and 3,000,000 Broker Options to GBA Capital (or its nominee) in part consideration for the capital raising services provided by GBA Capital in relation to the Placement and Offer.

As noted in the Explanatory Notes to Resolution 1, broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Exception 17 of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that an agreement to issue equity securities that is conditional on the holders of the listed company’s ordinary securities approving the issue before the issue is made shall be an exception to this prohibition, provided that if an entity relies on this exception the listed company must not issue the equity securities without such approval.

Resolutions 2 and 3 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Placement Options to participants in the Placement and Broker Options to GBA Capital for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 2 and 3 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Placement Options to investors in the Placement and Options to GBA Capital. In addition, the Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 2 and 3 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Placement Options to investors in the Placement and Broker Options to GBA Capital.

The Directors (Chris Sutherland, Peter McIntyre, Tony Belperio and Greg Hall) or their nominated Associates ( Participating Allottees ) are intending to participate in the Conditional Placement, via their associated Shareholding vehicles (if applicable), on the same terms as the Placement, subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval to such issue.

ASX Listing Rule Requirements

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval for the issue of equity securities to, among other defined persons, a Related Party of an entity, an Associate of a Related Party or a person who is (or was at any time in the last 6 months before issue) a substantial (30%+) holder in the entity.

Accordingly, as the Participating Allottees are Related Parties of the Company (by virtue of their position as Directors) and therefore fall within numerous categories of Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is being sought for the issue of a total of 1,300,000 Shares and 650,000 Options to the Participating Allotees (or their nominated Associates) on the terms set out below.

If approval of the issue of the Shares and Options is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 as per Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14, and the Shares and Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% additional placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.

If Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 are not passed, the Company will be precluded from issuing the Shares and Options to the Participating Allottees (or their nominated Associates).

Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 operate independently and the passing (or not) of one of these Resolution is not related to passing of the other three Resolutions.

Corporations Act

Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a financial benefit to a Related Party unless an exception applies or shareholders have, in a general meeting, approved the giving of that financial benefit to the Related Party. The Participating Allottees are Directors and are therefore each a Related Party of the Company.

The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of Shares and Options, pursuant to Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7, on the basis that exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies as the Participating Allottees are proposing to participate in the Conditional Placement on the same terms as other investors in the Placement.

ASX Listing Rules Disclosure

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 requires that the following information to be provided to Shareholders when seeking an approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11:

The Options are being offered to participants in the Conditional Placement for nil additional consideration

Board Recommendation

The Directors decline to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to their respective Resolutions under which they will be issued Shares and Options due to their material personal interest in the outcome of the relevant Resolution.

The Directors do not have a personal interest in the outcome of the Resolutions related to the issue of Shares and Options to the other Directors. The Directors (other than the Directors in relation to their own Resolution) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7.

The Directors make the recommendation above for the following reasons:

  • the issue of Options to the Participating Allottees (or their Associates) will better align the interests of the Participating Allottees with those of Shareholders;

  • the issue of the Shares and Options is reasonable and appropriate as the Participating Allottees are proposing to participate in the Conditional Placement on the same terms as other applicants participating in the Placement; and

  • it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Shares and Options on the terms proposed.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7.

Terms of Options

Exercise Period and Expiry Date

The Options are exercisable at any time on a Business Day prior to 5:00pm (Sydney time) on 31 July 2027 (Expiry Date). Options not exercised by that date will lapse.

Exercise Price

Each Option entitles the holder to acquire one (1) Share on payment of the sum of $0.15 per Option ( Exercise Price ) to Copper Search.

Notice of Exercise

Eligible Shareholders will receive an exercise notice at the same time that they receive a holding statement in respect of the Options ( Exercise Notice ).

Options may be exercised at any time prior to 5:00pm (Sydney time) on the Expiry Date by delivering a duly executed Exercise Notice to Copper Search, together with payment for the aggregate Exercise Price for the Options being exercised.

Options will be deemed to have been exercised at a time determined by Copper Search and in any event no earlier than Copper Search having received the aggregate Exercise Price (in cleared funds) in respect of the Options exercised in accordance with the Exercise Notice.

Shares Issued on Exercise of Options

Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options will be issued following receipt of all the relevant documents and payments (in cleared funds) and will rank equally with the then issued Shares.

Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Options will have the same rights and liabilities as Copper Search’s existing Shares on issue as at the date of the exercise of the Options.

If the holder of any Options exercises less than the total number of Options registered in their name, Copper Search will provide the holder of any Options with a new holding statement stating the remaining number of Options registered in that holder’s name, together with a new exercise notice.

There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of securities offered to Shareholders during the term of the Options, except in their capacity as existing Shareholders.

Bonus Issues

If, prior to the expiry of the options, Copper Search makes a bonus issue of Shares to Shareholders for no consideration, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the relevant record date for the bonus issue.

Pro-Rata Issue

If, from time to time, before the expiry of the Options, Copper Search makes a pro-rata issue of Shares to shareholders, the exercise price of the Options may be amended in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 6.22.2.

Capital reorganisation

If there is a reorganisation of the issued capital of Copper Search (including any consolidation, subdivision, reduction, or return of capital), the rights of the holder of Options shall be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reorganisation.
