EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement and all attachments are important documents. They should be read carefully.

If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Statement or the preceding Notice, please contact the Company, your stockbroker or other professional adviser.

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

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the Shareholders of Anson Resources Limited in connection with the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held on Friday, 3 November 2023.

1. ANNUAL ACCOUNTS

The Corporations Act requires that the Annual Report (which includes the financial report, directors’ report and auditors’ report) be tabled at the Annual General Meeting.

Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions and make comments about the Annual Report of the Company generally, but there will be no formal resolution submitted in respect of the Annual Report.

Mr. Martin Michalik of Stantons International, as the auditor responsible for preparing the auditor’s report for the year ended 30 June 2023 (or his representative) will attend the Annual General Meeting. The Chairman will also allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask the auditor questions about:

  • the conduct of the audit;

  • the preparation and content of the auditor’s report;

  • the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of financial statements; and

  • the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – REMUNERATION REPORT

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.

The Corporations Act requires the Company to put a resolution to Shareholders that the Remuneration Report be adopted. In accordance with section 250R (3) of the Corporations Act, the vote on the Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Directors will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.

In accordance with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for reelection.

It Is noted that at the Company’s 2022 annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report represented less than 25% of the total votes cast and accordingly, a spill resolution will not be required for the Annual General Meeting.

A voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting. Key Management Personnel and their closely related parties may not vote on this Resolution and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the proxy appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chairman and expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy. The Chairman will use any such proxies to vote in favour of Resolution 1.

The Company encourages all Shareholders to cast their votes on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report).

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF A DIRECTOR (P. GREGORY KNOX)

3.1. Background

Resolution 2 seeks approval for the re-election of Mr P. Gregory Knox as a Director.

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 16.4 of the Constitution, at every Annual General Meeting, one third of the Directors for the time being must retire from office by rotation and are eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire are those who have been in office for 3 years since their appointment or last re-appointment or who have been longest in office since their appointment or last re-appointment or, if the Directors have been in office for an equal length of time, by agreement.

Mr Knox retires by rotation at this Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

3.2. Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Knox (B.Sc (Geology)) is a qualified geologist with over 30 years of experience in the resources industry in exploration, mine development and mining operations. He has worked on projects from grass-roots exploration through to mine development and production and has extensive experience in gold, base metals and iron for several ASX listed companies.

Mr Knox has been a Non-Executive Director since 22 September 2011 and was last re-elected at the 2021 annual general meeting. He does not hold any directorships in other ASX-listed companies.

3.3. Director’s Recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Knox) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3–- RATIFICATION OF THE ISSUE OF 15,060,981 ORDINARY SHARES

4.1. General

On the Company announced the completion of acquisition of the Green Energy Lithium Project from Legacy Lithium Corp ( Legacy ) and the payment of USD1 million in cash and the issue of 15,060,981 Shares in the Company ( Consideration Shares ) to Legacy.

On 18 July 2018, Anson announced the proposed acquisition of all the placer claims that make up the Green Energy Lithium Project from Legacy Lithium Corp. for a consideration of USD1 million in cash and 15,060,981 Ordinary Shares in the Company ( Consideration Shares ). The transaction was subject to Legacy shareholder approval, which was obtained on or around 30 September 2023.

On 4 October 2023, Anson issued one-eighth (1/8) of the freely tradeable Consideration Shares to Legacy. The remaining Consideration Shares (Escrow Shares) are held in escrow and released to Legacy as follows: one-quarter (1/4) of the remaining Consideration Shares being released on each of the dates that is six (6), twelve (12), eighteen (18) and twenty-four (24) months.

The Consideration Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification of the prior issue of 15,060,981 Shares on 4 October 2023.

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

As the issue of the Placement Shares pursuant to Resolution 3 does not fall within any of the specified exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and has not yet been approved by Shareholders, the issue effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of those securities.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows shareholders of a listed company to ratify an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. If ratified, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

By ratifying the issue of shares under Resolution 3, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue securities in the future up to its 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain shareholder approval.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue equity securities into the future. Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 3.

4.2. Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is passed, the base figure (i.e. variable “A”) in which the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 is calculated will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of equity securities to be issued by the Company without shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

4.3. Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.5 the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) the Shares were issued to Legacy, who was the vendor of the Green Energy Lithium Project.

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that Legacy is not a related party of the Company, member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holder of the Company, adviser of the Company or an associate of any of these parties.

  • (c) The issue consisted of 15,060,981 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company which rank equally with the Company’s existing Shares.

  • (d) The Shares were issued on 4 October 2023.

  • (e) The deemed issue price was $0.209 per Share. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares.

  • (f) The Shares were issued as part consideration of acquisition of the Green Energy Lithium Project from Legacy.

  • (g) The Consideration Shares were issued pursuant to an agreement to acquire Green Energy Lithium Project from Legacy (refer to section 4.1).

  • (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

4.4. Director’s Recommendation

The directors recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – ADOPTION OF EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Background

The Company seeks shareholder approval of its new Equity Incentive Plan ( Equity Incentive Plan ).

The Equity Incentive Plan has been developed as part of the Company’s remuneration strategy. Key principles in developing the remuneration structure and levels include the creation of longterm shareholder value, alignment with shareholder interests, market competitiveness, recognition of individual performance and experience, and also recognition for the Company’s performance.

The Equity Incentive Plan is designed to:

  • assist with the attraction and retention of Directors, senior managers and other personnel, as assessed by the Board on a case-by-case basis;

  • continue to motivate and drive performance at both the individual and Company level; and

  • strengthen the alignment between participants and shareholder interests.

A summary of the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan is set out in Annexure A, and a copy of the rules of the Equity Incentive Plan are available upon request from the Company.

Under the Equity Incentive Plan, the Company has flexibility to offer shares, options and performance rights (as further detailed in Annexure A.

While this structure allows for a range of different remuneration and incentive outcomes, it is the current intent of the Board that the initial Awards to be offered will be performance rights offered to key personnel, which would entitle participants to a number of shares subject to certain performance-based vesting conditions, a service-based condition and any other terms and conditions of the offer to participate.

Additional types of Awards, and different terms, may be offered in the future in accordance with the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan. Executive Directors are expected to participate in the future, subject to approval by shareholders at the relevant time under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Approval of the Equity Incentive Plan is sought for various purposes under the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.

ASX Listing Rules

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

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders for all purposes under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, including ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13(b)), it will have the effect of enabling the securities issued by the Company under the Equity Incentive Plan to be

automatically excluded from the formula to calculate the number of securities which the Company may issue in any 12 month period using Listing Rule 7.1 (15% capacity) during the next three year period.

The Company obtained approval for its previous employee incentive plan at its annual general meeting in 2022 (the Former Plan ) but now seeks to replace it with the new Equity Incentive Plan.

The terms of the Equity Incentive Plan are broadly the same as the terms of the Former Plan which has been in place since 2022, with some changes made to:

  • (a) permit shares to be issued, in addition to options and performance rights;

  • (b) include provision for participants to nominate securities granted under the Equity Incentive Plan to be held by permitted nominees; and

  • (c) enable the Company to establish and use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding securities for participants under the Equity Incentive Plan and/or delivering shares to participants upon exercise of rights granted under the Equity Incentive Plan.

If this Resolution is not approved by Shareholders, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Equity Incentive Plan but any issue of securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue securities without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the securities.

It should be noted that any proposed issue of securities under the Equity Incentive Plan to a related party (including Directors) will require additional shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time. If such additional shareholder approval for an issue of securities under the Equity Incentive Plan to a related party is not obtained, then those securities cannot be issued.

Number of securities issued since last approval

No equity securities have been issued under the Former Plan.

As at the date of this Notice, no equity securities have been issued under the Equity Incentive Plan.

Maximum number of securities to be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders, the Company may issue up to a maximum of 63,533,909 ordinary shares or performance rights or options exercisable for ordinary shares under the Equity Incentive Plan during the three year period following approval which represents 5% of the total number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

Shareholders should be aware that the maximum number of securities to be issued under the new Equity Incentive Plan stated above is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of securities to be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan, but is specified for the purposes of setting a ceiling on the number of securities approved to be issued for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13(b)). Once that number is reached, any additional issues of securities under the Equity Incentive Plan would not have the benefit of exception 13 without a fresh shareholder approval and will only be able to be made without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the Company has sufficient placement capacity available at the time under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (or if applicable ASX Listing Rule 7.1A).

Details of any securities granted under the new Equity Incentive Plan will be published in the Company’s annual report for the year in which they are granted.

Exemption for financial assistance

Section 260A of the Corporations Act provides that a company may financially assist a person to acquire shares in the company or a holding company of the company only if:

  • (a) giving of the assistance does not materially prejudice the interests of the company or its shareholders, or the company’s ability to pay its creditors;

  • (b) the assistance is approved by shareholders under section 260B of the Corporations Act; or

  • (c) the assistance is exempted under section 260C of the Corporations Act.

Section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act provides an exemption to financial assistance, if the financial assistance is given under an employee share scheme approved at a meeting of shareholders via an Ordinary Resolution.

As noted above and set out in Annexure A, the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan envisages the giving of financial assistance by the Company to eligible and invited participants in the form of interest free, limited recourse loans to acquire loan funded shares in the Company.

Although the Board does not consider that the giving of financial benefit under the Equity Incentive Plan will materially prejudice the interests of the Company or its shareholders, or the Company’s ability to pay its creditors, Shareholder approval is being sought under this Resolution to enable the Company to qualify for the special exemption offered by section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act.

Director’s Recommendation

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

6. RESOLUTIONS 5 - APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

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

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 over a period of up to 12 months after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

Resolution 5 seeks shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for Anson Resources Limited to have the additional 10% capacity (on top of the 15% permitted by ASX Listing Rule 7.1) provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without shareholder approval.

Resolution 5 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 5 for it to be passed.

The effect of passing Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company 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 Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issued equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 5, the number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2. (Refer below).

7.1 Description of 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.

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 less than $300,000,000.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being Shares (ASX Code: ASN).

Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12-month period after the date of that annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

A is the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period,

  • (a) plus, the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 and 17;

  • (b) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • I. the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • II. the issue of or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,

7.2

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 5:

(a) Minimum Price

Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be an existing quoted class of the Company’s equity securities and issued for cash consideration.

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 10 ASX trading days of the date in Section 7.2(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;

  • II. the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • III. 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 Listing Rule 7.1A cease 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, including the 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.

These risks may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

If Resolution 5 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.

Listing Rule 7.3A.4 requires the Company to provide a table demonstrating the potential dilution effect based on three different assumed prices of securities and three different numbers of securities on issue in the Company.

The table below sets out the potential 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 securities as at $0.15 and the current number of ordinary securities for Variable ‘A’, calculated applying the assumptions set out in the following paragraphs.

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.

The table shows two examples where the share price has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% against the current market price, and two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%.

*The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  1. The table above uses the following assumptions:

  2. The current Shares on issue as at 22 September 2023.

  3. The closing price of Shares on the ASX on 22 September 2023.

  4. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

  5. The Company has not issued any 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 7.4.

  6. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares.

  7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  8. 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%.

  9. 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 under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may only issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for cash consideration. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period if

Shareholders approve this Resolution. However, if Shareholders approve this Resolution and the Company did raise funds from the issue of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company considers that the funds may be used for the exploration and development of the Company’s Paradox Basin Projects in Utah, USA, and base metals projects in Australia.

(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 Issue(s).

The recipients of the Equity Securities 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 recipients of any issues under the 10% Placement Capacity on a case-by-case basis, 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 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).

If and when the determination is made to proceed with an issue of equity securities during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, details regarding the allottees and purposes of issue will be disclosed pursuant to the Company’s obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4.

(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company has not previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. No Shares have been issued during the year under LR7.1A.

(g) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3

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

  • I. A list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

  • II. The information required by Listing Rule 3.10.3 for release to the market.

Director’s Recommendation

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

7. RESOLUTIONS 6 - CHANGE OF AUDITOR

8.1 General

In accordance with section 328B(1) Corporations Act, the Company has received a written notice of nomination from Mr Matthew Beattie, being a shareholder of the Company, nominating Ernst & Young as the new auditor of the Company. A copy of the notice of nomination of Ernst & Young received by the Company is attached as Annexure B.

The Company has approached Ernst & Young to act as auditor of the Company. The appointment shall deliver cost savings to the Company. The Company also noted that Ernst &

Young is registered as an auditor under section 1280 Corporations Act and is a well-established audit firm with global brand recognition and global experience. Consequently, subject to the Company receiving all necessary approvals from ASIC and shareholder approval at the Meeting, Ernst & Young has been nominated and selected to become the new auditor of the Company.

Stantons International does not provide other services to the Company and the Company confirms that it is unaware of any matter or circumstances that would give rise to a ‘conflict of interest situation’, as defined in section 324CD Corporations Act, in relation to the Company.

Ernst & Young has confirmed that it is unaware of any matter or circumstance that would give rise to a conflict of interest situation, as defined in section 324CD of the Corporations Act, in relation to the appointment. Subject to the ASIC's consent to the resignation of Stantons International, Ernst & Young has consented in writing to act as auditor of the Company for the purposes of section 327B of the Corporations Act. As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, Ernst & Young has not withdrawn its consent.

As a consequence, the Company has requested Stantons International to apply to ASIC under subsection 329(5) of the Corporations Act for ASIC's consent to resign as auditor of the Company with effect from the day on which ASIC gives its consent to the resignation, or on the day (if any) fixed by ASIC for the purpose. Stantons International has been the auditor of the Company since the 2010 financial year. The Board has been satisfied with the services of Stantons International as Company auditor and thanks Stantons International for its services provided.

As the auditor cannot resign without ASIC's consent, Resolution 6 is conditional on ASIC's consent. If ASIC does not grant its consent, Stantons International will continue to hold office as the Company’s auditor.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the appointment of Ernst & Young as the Company's auditor upon the resignation of Stantons International. Resolution 6 is conditional on Stantons International receiving ASIC's consent to its resignation as the Company’s auditor, and subject to that consent being granted, Ernst & Young’s appointment will either take effect from the close of the meeting (if consent has been provided prior to the meeting) or such later date as ASIC consents to the resignation of the previous auditor.

8.2 Board Recommendation

Subject to ASIC consenting to Stantons International’s resignation as the Company’s Auditor, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 to appoint Ernst & Young as the Company’s auditor on the later of the close of the Meeting or ASIC consenting to the resignation of the previous auditor.

ANNEXURE A: SUMMARY OF EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN (RESOLUTION 4)

Purpose The equity incentive plan (Plan) is intended to assist in the reward, retention
and motivation of Eligible Persons and further align their interests with the
interests of shareholders.
Administration The Board may administer the Plan in accordance with the Plan rules and
otherwise as it determines from time to time in its absolute discretion. The
Board may delegate its powers under the Plan.
Eligible Persons An Eligible Person is a person who is a full-time or part-time employee, officer,
director or consultant of a Group Member (or a person to whom an offer to
participate in the Plan is made but who can only accept the offer if an
arrangement has been entered into that will result in the person becoming a
full-time or part-time employee, officer, director or consultant of a Group
Member) who is determined by the Board to be eligible for the purposes of the
Plan.
In certain circumstances, an Eligible Person may nominate an immediate family
member or controlled entity to acquire the Awards under the Plan.
Offers of
Awards
Offers may be for any of the following awards (Awards):
1. fully paid ordinary shares;
2. options, which are rights to be issued a fully paid ordinary share upon
payment of any applicable exercise price and satisfaction of any vesting and
exercise conditions; and
3. performance rights, which are rights to be issued a fully paid ordinary share
for nil exercise price following satisfaction of any vesting conditions;
The Company may, from time to time in its absolute discretion, offer and issue
any combination of Awards to Eligible Persons (or their permitted nominees).
Terms of
Awards
The Board has discretion to decide on the terms of Awards, allowing flexibility
for a range of different remuneration and incentive outcomes.
The particular terms of the Award are generally set out in the offer document
given to the Eligible Persons (or their permitted nominees) under the Plan.
Terms of an offer document may include the type and number of Awards,
vesting conditions (if any), the amount payable for the Awards (if any), exercise
conditions (if any), exercise price (if any), and other terms determined by the
Board. The Board may set different terms and conditions for different
participants in the Plan.
Loans A Group Member may make a loan to an Eligible Person for the acquisition of
Awards (or Securities) under the Plan, on terms determined by the Board
(including in respect of any security for the loan). This would typically be set out
in the offer document.
Vesting
conditions
Awards may be subject to performance-based, time-based or other vesting
conditions.
As noted above, vesting conditions will normally be contained in the offer
document given under the Plan. However, in the case of options and
performance rights, the Plan also contains default vesting conditions in the
event that no such conditions are set out in (or expressly excluded by) the
relevant offer. Under these default vesting conditions, such Awards vest in equal
one-third tranches on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date,
but onlyif theparticipant either remains employed or engaged with the Group
on the vesting date, or ceased to be so employed or engaged before the
applicable vesting date in circumstances where the person was a “good leaver”
(i.e. total or permanent disablement, death or other circumstances determined
by the Board to justify the person being a good leaver) (Good Leaver).
Depending on the terms of the offer document and nature of the Award, vested
Awards are either exercised automatically or become exercisable (in each case
provided that any exercise conditions are satisfied and any exercise price is
paid).
Expiry date Awards that are options or performance rights may be issued with an expiry
date. Unless otherwise specified in the offer document, the expiry date will be
five years after the date of grant.
Lapse/forfeiture
of Awards
The Plan contains provisions which specify that Awards, subject to the offer
document, may be forfeited or lapse upon determination of the Board where:
1. the vesting conditions of the relevant Awards are not satisfied by the expiry
date, or the Board determines they are incapable of being satisfied by the
expiry date;
2. the participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Group. However,
see below regarding Good Leavers;
3. a circumstance in the offer document occurs or is reasonably likely to occur;
4. the participant becomes insolvent;
5. the participant and the Board agree to cancel the Awards (for consideration
or otherwise);
6. the participant breaches (without remedy) the obligations that are owed to
the Group in respect of the Plan;
7. the participant’s permitted nominee has undergone a change of control
without the prior written consent of the Board; or
8. the Awards are not exercised before the applicable expiry date.
Where a participant becomes a Good Leaver, they would typically retain vested
Awards, and unvested Awards may be pro-rated, cancelled or otherwise
adjusted as determined by the Board (such as by reference to the participant’s
length of service).
Forfeited Awards either lapse or will be compulsorily divested in any manner
and on terms determined by the Board.
Clawback of
Awards
The Company may claw back Awards, or the cash value of Awards, or cause
Awards to lapse, in certain circumstances where they have vested or been
paid/provided to a participant in error (for example, if an error is made
regarding satisfaction of any applicable vesting conditions).
In addition, the Plan also contains provisions which provide the Board with the
ability to deal with Awards (or shares issued on exercise of the Awards) and/or
impose claw-back requirements in the event of certain fraudulent or dishonest
actions or breach of obligations owed to a Group Member by a participant, to
ensure that no benefit is obtained by the participant as a result of such actions.
Adjustments of
Awards
Where an Award caries an entitlement to shares upon exercise (e.g. options and
performance rights), the Plan provides that Awards will be adjusted to reflect
certain corporate actions, such as bonus issues and reorganisations of capital.
Issue, allocation
or acquisition of
shares
Subject to applicable laws, shares to be delivered to participants under the Plan
(including upon exercise of vested Awards) may be issued by the Company,
acquired on or off market and transferred, and/or allocated within an employee
securities trust.
Disposal
restriction
Subject to applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules, Awards that are options or
performance rights may not be sold, transferred, encumbered or otherwise
dealt during the restriction period in the Plan rules or relevant offer document.
The Board may waive or amend these requirements in accordance with the Plan
rules (e.g. severe financial hardship).
Prohibition on
hedging
The Plan prohibits participants from entering into any transactions for the
purpose of hedging their economic exposure to an Award.
Rights of
Awards
Awards that are options or performance rights will not carry any rights to attend
or vote at meetings or receive dividends or distributions, except as set out in the
offer document.
Awards that are not ordinary shares will not be quoted on the ASX, unless
otherwise determined by the Board or required by the ASX Listing Rules.
Ordinary shares issued under the Plan (including on exercise of an Award) will
rank equally in all respects with existing ordinary shares from the date of
allotment.
Change of
control
The Board will have the absolute discretion to determine the manner in which
Awards (whether vested or unvested) will be dealt with upon a change of control
event (e.g. a takeover bid for more than 50 per cent of the issued shares that is
or becomes unconditional, or a scheme of arrangement, trust scheme, selective
capital reduction or other transaction is approved which has a similar effect, or
another specified control transaction occurs), subject to applicable law and the
ASX Listing Rules.
In the case of options, if there is a takeover bid for the Company, or another
transaction having a similar effect to a takeover, any vested options lapse
automatically if they are not exercised within a specified period after the
takeover bid or other transaction becomes unconditional or is approved by
shareholders (as the case may be).
Board powers
and discretions
In addition to setting the terms of offers (including determination of vesting
conditions), the Board has a range of other discretionary powers under the Plan,
including to:
1. pay out share-settled Awards in cash;
2. waive any vesting conditions and/or exercise conditions;
3. determine whether to exercise rights to forfeit Awards in the circumstances
described above;
4. determine when a person is a Good Leaver;
5. decide how to deal with unvested, unexercised or restricted Awards if there
is a change of control event; and
6. decide to use a trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding shares
for participants under the Plan and/or delivering shares to participants upon
exercise of the Awards.
Amendment The Company may amend all or any provisions of the Plan rules, or amend or
waive the Plan rules as they apply to a particular participant, at any time in any
manner it thinks fit in its absolute discretion. However, with some exceptions,
the Board must obtain the consent of the relevant participants for an such
amendments that materially reduce the rights of participants in respect of their
participation in the Plan, the Awards granted or the shares issued or transferred
on exercise of an Award prior to the date of the amendment.
Termination The Plan may, subject to the ASX Listing Rules, be suspended or terminated at
any time by the Board. In the event of any such termination, the Plan rules
would continue to operate with respect to any Awards issued or transferred
under the Plan prior to that termination.
Taxes A Group Member (or trustee appointed under the Plan rules) will have the
power to withhold from amounts otherwise owing to the participant an amount
sufficient to satisfy tax or social security contributions (in any jurisdiction) for
which a Participant may be liable, or otherwise make arrangements with the
participant for them to pay the relevant amounts.
Governing Law The laws of Queensland apply to the Plan.

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

  • (a) on each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and

  • (b) return both forms together.

COMPLIANCE WITH LISTING RULE 14.11

In accordance to Listing Rule 14.11, if you hold shares on behalf of another person(s) or entity/entities or you are a trustee, nominee, custodian or other fiduciary holder of the shares, you are required to ensure that the person(s) or entity/entities for which you hold the shares are not excluded from voting on resolutions where there is a voting exclusion. Listing Rule 14.11 requires you to receive written confirmation from the person or entity providing the voting instruction to you and you must vote in accordance with the instruction provided.
