A separate personalised poll form must be completed for each Shareholder. Voting for multiple shareholders cannot be combined into one form.
Voting in person (or by attorney)
Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company’s share register and their attendance recorded. To be effective a certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the original Power of Attorney, must be received by the Company in the same manner, and by the same time as outlined for proxy forms below.
Voting in person (or by attorney)
A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the Meeting.

The representation should bring to the Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.
Voting by proxy

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised that:
-
each Shareholder has a right to appoint a proxy;
-
the proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company; and
-
a Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the member appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.
Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that changes to the Corporations Act made in 2011 mean that:
-
if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and
-
any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.
Further details on these changes are set out below.
Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote
Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :
- the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e., as directed); and
2
-
if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and
-
if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and
-
if the proxy is not the chair, the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).
Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances
Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:
-
an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and
-
the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and
-
at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and
-
either of the following applies:

➢ the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting; or
-
➢ the proxy does not vote on the resolution,
the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ISSUE OF SHARES UNDER TRANCHE 2 OF THE PLACEMENT
2.1 General
As detailed in Section 1.1 of this Explanatory Statement, the Company has received firm commitments for a Placement to raise $3.0 million (before
8
transaction costs) via a two-tranche placement of a total of up to 500,000,000 Shares at an issue price of 0.6 cents per Share.
2.1
ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 157,403,227 Tranche 2 Placement Shares at an issue price of 0.6 cents to raise $944,419, subject to Shareholder approval.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the specified exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 1 seeks approval for the issue of the Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 1 is passed the issue of the Shares can proceed without using any of the Company’s 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Shares under Tranche 2 of the Placement cannot proceed, and the Company will not be able to raise the additional funds of $944,419.
2.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 157,403,227;
==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- the issue price of the Shares is 0.6 cents per Share;
==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that the issue of all of the Shares occur on the same date None of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are “material investors” as per ASX Guidance Note 21, paragraph 7.2;
==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- the Shares will be issued to the Placement Subscribers, all of whom are unrelated parties of the Company;
==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- the Shares will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- The funds raised from the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are intended to be used in the drilling and exploration programmes outlined in the Company’s ASX announcement on 4 May 2021 and outlined in section1.1; and
==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

2.3 Director’s Recommendation
The Board believes that the proposed issue is beneficial for the Company and recommends Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution. It will allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further equity securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months.
The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders approve Resolution 1.
The Chairman of the Meeting will be casting undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.
3. RESOLUTIONS 2 & 3 - RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE – TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES
3.1 Background
As detailed in Section 1.1 of this Explanatory Statement, the Company has received firm commitments for a Placement to raise $3.0 million (before transaction costs) via a two-tranche placement of a total of up to 500,000,000 Shares at an issue price of 0.6 cents per Share.
On 11 May 2021 the Company issued 333,095,440 Tranche 1 Placement Shares utilising the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A in the following proportions:
==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- 199,857,264 Shares were issued at 0.6 cents per Share under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and are the subject of Resolution 2; and
==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- 133,238,176 Shares were issued at 0.6 cents per Share under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and are the subject of Resolution 3.
3.2
ASX Listing Rule 7.4
On 19 November 2020, the Company held its annual general meeting where shareholder approval was sought and obtained to, amongst other things, refresh its placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and approve an additional 10% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.
The Company issued the Tranche 1 Placement Shares without prior Shareholder approval pursuant to both its 15% annual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 199,857,264 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued on 11 May 2021 at an issue price of 0.6 cents per Share under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 133,238,176 of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued on 11 May 2021 at an issue price of 0.6 cents per Share under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to have the additional capacity to issue
10
equity securities during any 12 month period up to that amount which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period, subject to that issue satisfying certain criteria.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues. By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and up to the 10% additional placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolutions 2 and 3 are passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company’s 10% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date, being 11 May 2021.
If Resolutions 2 and 3 are not passed, the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company’s 10% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date, being 11 May 2021.
3.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 2 and 3:
==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- In relation to Resolution 2, 199,857,264 Shares were issued on 11 May 2021 and in relation to Resolution 3, 133,238,176 Shares were issued on 11 May 2021;
==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- the Shares will be issued to the Placement Subscribers, all of whom are unrelated parties of the Company;
==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

11
3.4 Director’s Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders approve Resolutions 2 and 3 to approve the ratification of Tranche 1 of the Placement.
The Chairman of the Meeting will be casting undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.
4. SPECIFIC DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS - RESOLUTIONS 4, 5 & 6
Arrow is proposing to issue the Tranche 2 Director Placement Shares to three Directors, Dr Frazer Tabeart, Mr Thomas McKeith and Mr Howard Golden.
ASX 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:
==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- a related party;
==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- an associate of a person referred to at 4(a), 4(b) and 4(c); or
==> picture [14 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in 4(a), 4(b), 4(c) and 4(d) as such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of the Tranche 2 Director Placement Shares to Dr Frazer Taberart, Mr Thomas McKeith and Mr Howard Golden falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 (as described at section 4(a) above) and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12.
The issue of the Tranche 2 Director Placement Shares therefore requires the approval of Arrow’s shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 seek the required shareholder approvals to issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
5. RESOLUTION 4 – ISSUE OF TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES TO DIRECTOR – DR FRAZER TABEART
5.1 Background
Dr Frazer Tabeart elected to participate in the Placement referred to in Section 1.1 for a total of 2,166,667 Tranche 2 Director Placement Shares, subject to Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 4 is passed, Arrow will be able to proceed with the issue and the Shares will be issued.
12
If Resolution 4 is not passed, Arrow will not be able to proceed with the issue and the Shares will not be issued.
5.2

VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any resolution by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if he is appointed by default) but do not direct him how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chair may vote as he sees fit on that resolution.
APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY
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

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.
