VOTING EXCLUSIONS

Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report)

A vote must not be cast (in any capacity) on Resolution 1 by, or on behalf of:

  • a) a member of the Key Management Personnel, details of whose remuneration are included in the 2024 Remuneration Report; or

  • b) a Closely Related Party of such a member,

unless the vote is cast by a person as proxy for a person entitled to vote in accordance with a direction on the proxy form.

However, a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution 1 as a proxy if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described above and either:

  • a) the proxy appointment is in writing that specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; or

  • b) the vote is cast by the Chair of the Meeting and the appointment of the Chair as proxy:

  • i) does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and

  • ii) expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

Resolution 3 (Approval to issue Incentive Options to Director Gregory English), Resolution 4 (Approval to issue Incentive Options to Director Bernadette Harkin) and Resolution 5 (Approval to issue Incentive Options to Director Ken Williams)

The passing of Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 are each conditional upon and subject to Shareholders approving all Resolutions to approve the issue of Incentive Options to Directors (being Resolutions 3, 4 and 5). Therefore, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 3, Resolution 4 and Resolution 5 by Gregory English, Bernadette Harkin and Ken Williams and their respective associates, and any other person who will obtain a material benefit as a result of the issue of the securities (except a benefit solely by reason of being a holder of ordinary securities in the Company). However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:

  • a) it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form;

  • b) it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides; or

  • c) by a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • i) the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the item; and

  • ii) the holder votes on the item in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

Further, under the Corporations Act, a vote must not be cast on this resolution (and will be taken not to have been cast if cast contrary to this restriction) by a member of the Key Management Personnel, and any Closely Related Party of such a member, acting as proxy if their appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on this resolution or expressly authorises the person who is the chair of the meeting to exercise the proxy. However, the member or any Closely Related Party of such a member may vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on the Resolution or by a person who is the chair of the Meeting at which the Resolution is voted on, and the appointment expressly authorises the chair to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

Resolution 6 (10% Additional Placement Capacity)

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 6 by or on behalf of any person who may participate in the proposed issue, or who might obtain a benefit (other than a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of Shares) if this Resolution is passed, and any Associates of such person. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:

  • a) it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form;

  • b) it is cast by the Chair of the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction given to the Chair of the Meeting to vote on the Resolution as the Chair of the Meeting decides; or

Page 3

Notice of Annual General Meeting – 2024

  • c) by a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • i) the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the item; and

  • ii) the holder votes on the item in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting the Company has no specific plans to issue Equity Securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A or under Resolution 6 (if approved), therefore it is not known who (if any) may participate in a potential (if any) issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (if approved). Accordingly, no votes will be disregarded on this Resolution, in accordance with Listing Rule 14.11.1.

However, in the event that between the date of this Notice and the date of the Meeting, the Company proposes to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A to one or more existing Shareholders, those Shareholders' votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion statement in this Notice.

Chairman’s voting intention

The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of, all the proposed Resolutions. If there is a change to how the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies, then the Company will make an announcement to the market.

By order of the Board

Notice of Annual General Meeting – 2024

Where a Shareholder wishes to appoint two proxies, they can do so online at www.investorvote.com.au. A Shareholder appointing two proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints two proxies but fails to specify the proportion or number of votes that each may exercise, each proxy appointed may exercise half the Shareholder’s votes. Fractions of votes are to be disregarded. If your proxy chooses to vote, they must vote in accordance with your directions. If you have directed your proxy to vote, and they do not participate in the meeting or choose not to vote on a poll, then the Chairman of the meeting will become your proxy by default and vote your proxies as directed by you (subject to applicable voting restrictions).

Subject to the voting restrictions set out below, if you do not direct your proxy to vote by marking the relevant box on the proxy form, your proxy may vote as they choose on that item of business.

If your proxy does not participate in the Meeting, the Chairman will become your proxy by default. The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in accordance with the Board recommendations set out in the Explanatory Memorandum accompanying this Notice.

Generally, the Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Company (which includes each of the Directors) and their Closely Related Parties will not be able to vote your proxy on Resolution 1 unless you have directed them how to vote or you have appointed the Chairman as your proxy. The circumstances in which KMP will be excluded from voting on Resolution 1 are set out above under the heading ‘Voting Exclusions’.

If you intend to appoint a member of the KMP as your proxy, please ensure that you direct them how to vote on Resolution 1. If you intend to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy, you can direct them on how to vote on Resolution 1 by marking the relevant boxes on the proxy form. However, if the Chairman of the Meeting is your proxy (or becomes your proxy by default) and you do not mark any of the boxes opposite Resolution 1, by completing and submitting the proxy form you will be deemed to have expressly authorised the Chairman to vote as they decide.

To be valid, the proxy form, and any authority under which the form is signed, must be received by the Company or the Company’s Share Registry prior to 10.30am (Sydney time) on Monday, 18 November 2024.

Explanatory Memorandum

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Financial Statements and Report

As required by Section 317 of the Corporations Act, the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and the Auditor’s Report for the most recent financial year will be laid before the Meeting.

This item does not require a formal resolution to be put to the Meeting and there is no requirement for Shareholders to approve these reports.

During this item of business, Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity to ask questions about the reports and the business and management of the Company. Also, Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask a representative of the Company’s Auditor, Grant Thornton, questions in relation to the conduct of the audit (including the independence of the Auditor), and the accounting policies adopted by the Company.

Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

Shareholders are asked to adopt the Company’s Remuneration Report contained in the Directors’ Report set out in pages 30 to 37 of the Company’s 2024 Annual Report and is also available on the Company’s website at www.archerx.com.au

The report outlines the Company’s executive remuneration framework and the remuneration outcomes for the Company Board, CEO and other Key Management Personnel.

The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about the remuneration report at the meeting before calling for a vote.

The Shareholder vote on the Remuneration Report is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Board will consider and take into account the outcome of the vote and feedback from Shareholders on the Remuneration Report when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.

Board recommendation

The Non-Executive Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 2 – Re-election of Kenneth Williams as a Director

Ken Williams has been a Non-Executive Director of the Company since 28 September 2020 and is Chair of the Company’s Audit & Risk Management Committee and a member of the Company’s Remuneration & Nomination Committee.

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.5 and rule 8.1(f) of the Company’s Constitution, Ken retires by rotation and being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Ken holds a Masters of Applied Finance, a Bachelor of Economics with Honours and was the recipient of a Mitsui Education Foundation Scholarship (Japan) and an Australian Commonwealth Treasury Scholarship.

Ken has over 30 years’ experience in corporate finance and has held senior executive, director, and Chair positions with leading ASX companies. Ken’s extensive experience in corporate finance includes diverse experience in mergers, acquisitions, divestments and corporate reconstructions. Ken was the Independent Chair of Statewide Superannuation Trust (Statewide Super), a South Australian based industry super fund with over $12 billion in funds under management.

Ken was a member of Statewide Super’s Investment Committee, and Remuneration & Nomination Committee. In April 2022 Statewide Super merged with Hostplus. Until recently, Ken held the role of Deputy Chancellor of the University of Adelaide but resigned in May 2024 to join the Transition Council of Adelaide University to be formed from the merger of the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia. He was also appointed to the Board of SA Water, effective 3 August 2023.

Prior roles include Chair of AWE Limited, Chair of Havilah Resources Limited, and Senior Finance Executive roles with Newmont Corporation, Normandy Mining, and Qantas.

The Board (with Ken abstaining) considers Kenneth Williams to be an independent director.

Board recommendation

The Board (with Ken abstaining) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Page 7

Explanatory Memorandum

Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 – Approval to issue Incentive Options to Directors

Resolutions 3 to 5 are ordinary resolutions requiring a simple majority of votes cast by Shareholders present and entitled to vote on each resolution.

Background

The Company has undergone significant change in the past three months as the Board and management team have commenced a strategy to identify nearer term commercialisation opportunities and expand the quantum project scope. While the progress is promising, there is still a considerable amount of work yet to be done to grow the Company. Therefore, the Board has formed the view that the Company must retain the Directors to complete this work and develop the Company’s technologies. The Board believes that the offer of Incentive Options is the best way to incentivise key people to remain with Archer during this period.

The Company is seeking shareholder approval to grant 11,000,000 Incentive Options ( Incentive Options ) to the Company's Directors or their respective nominees. The Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue 5 million Incentive Options to Greg English (Resolution 3) and 3 million Incentive Rights to each of Bernadette Harkin (Resolution 4) and Ken Williams (Resolution 5).

The Board has formed a view that the proposed grant of Incentive Options provides a long-term non-cash incentive to Directors, better aligning them with Shareholder interests.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company 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 grant of the Incentive Options constitutes giving a financial benefit, and Directors Greg English, Bernadette Harkin and Ken Williams are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

As the Incentive Options are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors cannot form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Incentive Options. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Incentive Options to the Related Parties is sought under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to a director or an associate of a director unless it obtains the approval of Shareholders.

The issue of the Incentive Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It, therefore, requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11. Resolutions 3 to 5 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Options under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 3 to 5 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Options to the Directors within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval according to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Incentive Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Incentive Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

Shareholder approval sought

Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of Incentive Options to Directors Greg English, Bernadette Harkins and Ken Williams under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, Listing Rule 10.11 and for all other purposes.

If Shareholder approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, the issue of the Incentive Options to Greg English, Bernadette Harkin and Ken Williams will not count toward the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, under Exception 14 in Listing Rule 7.2.

Page 8

Explanatory Memorandum

Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and Section 219 of the Corporations Act

According to and under Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 3 to 5:

  • (a) A total of 11 million Incentive Options will be issued to the following Related Parties (being the nature of the financial benefit):
Name No. of Incentve Optons Resoluton
Greg English (or his nominee) 5,000,000 Resoluton 3
Bernadete Harkin (or her nominee) 3,000,000 Resoluton 4
Ken Williams (or his nominee) 3,000,000 Resoluton 5
  • (b) Greg English, Bernadette Harkin, and Ken Williams are each a Director and fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is required for each Director to be issued the Incentive Options.

  • (c) A summary of the material terms of the Incentive Options is included in Annexure A, attached to this Explanatory Memorandum.

  • (d) The Incentive Options will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules), and it is intended that issue of the Incentive Options will occur on the same date.

  • (e) The issue price of the Incentive Options will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration regarding the issue of the Incentive Options (other than funds received on exercise of the Incentive Options).

  • (f) The purpose of the issue of the Incentive Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Directors to better align the interests of the Directors with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the Directors and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate the Directors, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Directors.

  • (g) The Company has agreed to issue the Incentive Options to the Directors subject to Shareholder for the following reasons:

  • (i) the Incentive Options are unquoted; therefore, the issue of the Incentive Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;

  • (ii) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the Directors in respect of an issue of Incentive Options is also beneficial to the Company as it means the Directors are not required to immediately sell any Incentive Options to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; and

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

  • (h) The number of Incentive Options to be issued to each Director has been determined based upon a consideration of:

  • (i) current market standards or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;

  • (ii) the remuneration of the Directors; and

  • (iii) incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of the Directors who have appropriate knowledge and expertise while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.

The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Incentive Options upon the terms proposed.

Page 9

Explanatory Memorandum

(i) The total remuneration package for the Directors in the previous financial year ended 30 June 2024 (FY24) and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year ending 30 June 2025 (FY25) are set out below:

Director FY24 ($) FY25 ($)
Greg English 474,742(1) 495,664(3)
Bernadete Harkin 77,700(2) 78,050(2)
Ken Williams 77,700(2) 78,050(2)

Notes:

  • (1) Fixed salary (including superannuation) plus 15% bonus.

  • (2) Fixed salary (including superannuation).

  • (3) Fixed salary (including superannuation) and assuming a maximum 15% bonus is achieved.

The Company’s Remuneration Report, which forms part of the 2024 Annual Report, provides more detail regarding each Director's remuneration for FY2024.

(j)

The value of the Incentive Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Annexure B.

  • (k) The Incentive Options are not being issued under an agreement.

  • (g) The relevant interests of the Directors in securities of the Company are set out below:

As of the date of this Notice

Related Party Shares Optons(1)
Greg English 11,509,852 5,000,000
Bernadete Harkin Nil 1,500,000
Ken Williams Nil 1,500,000

Notes:

  • (1) Options are unlisted, expiry date of 31 May 2025 and $1.79 exercise price.

After the issue of the Incentive Options

Related Party Shares Optons
Greg English 11,509,852 10,000,000
Bernadete Harkin Nil 4,500,000
Ken Williams Nil 4,500,000

(h) If the Incentive Options granted to the Directors are exercised, 11,000,000 new Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 254,847,013 to 265,847,013 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 4.1%, being 1.9 % for Greg English and 1.1% for each of Bernadette Harkin and Ken Williams.

(i) The market price for Shares during the term of the Incentive Options would generally determine whether the Incentive Options are exercised. If, at any time, any of the Incentive Options are exercised, and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Incentive Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

Last (closing price) $0.21 1 October 2024

(q) The Board is not aware of any other information that Shareholders reasonably require to allow them to decide whether it is in the Company's best interests to pass Resolutions 3, 4 and 5.

  • (p) A voting exclusion statement is included in Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 of the Notice.

Consequences if approval not obtained

If Shareholders do not approve the proposed issue of the 11 million Incentive Options, the subject of Resolutions 3, 4, and 5, then the grant of the Incentive Options will not proceed. This may impact Archer's ability to incentivise Directors and align their interests with those of Shareholders. The Board will need to consider alternative remuneration arrangements, including a cash payment, which may not be consistent with Archer's remuneration principles.

The passing of Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 are each conditional upon and subject to Shareholders approving all Resolutions to approve the issue of Incentive Options to Directors (being Resolutions 3, 4 and 5). No Incentive Options will be issued to any Director if any or all of Resolutions 3, 4 or 5 are not passed. Accordingly, if you intend to vote in favour of issuing Incentive Options to Directors, you should vote in favour of Resolution 3, Resolution 4 and Resolution 5.

Board recommendation

Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3, 4, and 5 because all of the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Incentive Options should Resolutions 3 to 5 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 3 to 5 of this Notice.

Explanatory Memorandum

Resolution 6 - Approval of 10% Additional Placement Capacity

This Resolution 6 is a Special Resolution which requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote on this Resolution.

Background

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the Annual General Meeting at which approval of the issue is obtained by special resolution ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and allows the Company to issue up to 25% of its issued capital in total.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting.

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution which requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. The exact number of Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

Number of Shares

The formula for calculating the maximum amount of securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity is calculated as follows:

(A x D) – E

  • A The number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

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

  • the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period;

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period.

  • D is 10%.

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4.

“relevant period” means:

  • if the entity has been admitted to the official list for 12 months or more, the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement; or

  • if the entity has been admitted to the official list for less than 12 months, the period from the date the entity was admitted to the official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.

The ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Page 12

Explanatory Memorandum

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 254,847,013 Shares and therefore has capacity to issue 38,227,052 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1.

Subject to approval of this Resolution 6 in this Notice by Special Resolution, the Company will have the additional capacity to issue 25,484,701 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

A number of scenarios showing potential issues under Listing Rule 7.1A are detailed in the table below.

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Capacity as follows:

1) Equity Securities that can be issued

Any Equity Securities issued under rule 7.1A must be in an existing quoted class of the Company’s Equity Securities, which presently are ordinary shares.

2) Minimum issue price

For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.A.3, any Equity Security issued under this 10% Placement Capacity must be issued for cash consideration only, and not be issued at a price per Equity Security that is less than 75% of the VWAP for equity securities in that class calculated over the 15 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 securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

3) Risk of economic and voting dilution

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below (in the case of unlisted options, only if the unlisted options are exercised).

There is a risk that:

  • i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the approval under rule 7.1A; and

  • ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The table below describes the potential dilution of existing ordinary security holders on the basis of at least three different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in rule 7.1A.2, and also shows:

  • i) at least one example that assumes variable “A” is double the number of ordinary securities on issue at the time of the approval under rule 7.1A. Variable “A” is the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future meeting of Shareholders; and

  • ii) at least one example where the issue price of ordinary securities has fallen by at least 50%.

Explanatory Memorandum

The table above has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity;

  • ii) No unlisted options (including any unlisted options issued under the 10% Placement Capacity) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;

  • iii) 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%.

  • iv) 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.

  • v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 or as a result of any issues of Equity Securities pursuant to any other approval under Chapter 7 of the Listing Rules.

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

  • vii) The issue price is $0.28, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 10 October 2024.

4) Timing

The date by which the Equity Securities may be issued under the approval sought in this Resolution 6 is the earlier of:

  • i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Annual General Meeting;

  • ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • iii) the date of approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (change involving main undertaking).

The approval will cease to be valid in the event that holders of the Company’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (change involving main undertaking).

5) Purposes for which Equity Securities may be issued

The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new projects, assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), continued expenditure on development of the Company’s advanced materials technologies and/or general working capital.

6) Allocation Policy

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-bycase basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • 1) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

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

  • 3) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

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

The allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

At the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in any such issue. Accordingly, no votes will be disregarded on this Resolution, in accordance with Listing Rule 14.11.1.

However, in the event that between the date of this Notice and the date of the Meeting, the Company proposes to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A to one or more existing Shareholders, those Shareholders' votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.

Explanatory Memorandum

7) Issues in the past 12 months

The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2023 AGM on 29 November 2023. In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has not issued or agreed to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

8) Effect if Resolution 6 is not passed

If Resolution 6 is not passed, any issue of Equity Securities will be made under the 15% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, or otherwise the Company will seek shareholder approval for a specific issue of Equity Securities.

9) Board Recommendation

The Board considers that the approval of the issue of the 10% Placement Capacity described above is beneficial for the Company as it provides the Company with the flexibility to issue up to the maximum number of securities permitted under Listing Rule 7.1A in the next 12 months (without further Shareholder approval), should it be required.

Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
