Explanatory Memorandum

Annual Report 2024

In accordance with the requirements of the Company’s Constitution and the Corporations Act, the 2024 Annual Report will be tabled at the Meeting.

Resolution 1. Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Directors’ Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

Section 250R(3) of Corporations Act provides that Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

However, the Corporations Act also gives Shareholders the opportunity to remove the Board if the Remuneration Report receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings (Two Strikes Rule).

Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors’ Report will cease to hold office immediately before that further meeting but may stand for re-election.

Athena Resources Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2024

Page 6 of 14

Explanatory Memorandum

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, a further resolution relating to the Two Strikes Rule is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chair of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair’s intention.

Resolution 2. Re-election of Director – Peter Newcomb

Clause 3.6 of the Constitution requires that at the Company’s annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded down to the nearest whole number), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a managing director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re election.

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

Explanatory Memorandum

Resolution 6. Approval of 10% Placement Facility

General

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.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that, in addition to the 15% placement capacity permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue, during the period the approval is valid, a number of quoted Equity Securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ( 10% Placement Facility ).

An eligible entity is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis). The Company is an eligible entity as its market capitalisation on an undiluted basis is $5.35 million based on the closing Share price on ASX of $0.004 on 16 October 2024.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. The Company one class of quoted equity securities on issue, being ordinary shares (ASX Code: AHN)).

The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue quoted Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The maximum number of quoted Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue quoted Equity Securities without Shareholder approval available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing (or agreeing to issue) Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 6 is a special resolution and therefore 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).

Description of Listing Rule 7.1A and information required by Listing

Rule 7.3A

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

10% Placement Period

If Shareholders approve Resolution 6, the Company’s ability to issue quoted Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

  • (a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting;

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

Athena Resources Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2024

Page 9 of 14

Explanatory Memorandum

  • (c) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.1 or 11.2,

(the 10 % Placement Period ).

Minimum Price

The issue price of quoted Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be a cash consideration per Equity Security of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price (VWAP) of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in the class were recorded immediately before:

  • (d) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (e) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

Purpose of Funds Raised

The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for the acquisition of new resources, assets, and investments and for the continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current projects and for general working capital purposes.

Economic and Voting Dilution Risk

If Resolution 6 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 below table (in the case of Convertible Securities, only if the Convertible Securities are exercised). There is a risk that:

  • (a) 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 Meeting; and

  • (b) 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 shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • (a) two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100% and the voting dilution impact of such an increase. Variable “A” is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares 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 Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (b) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions.

  • (a) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (b) No Convertible Securities (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (c) 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%.

  • (d) 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 Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused by their own shareholding depending on the specific circumstances.

  • (e) 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.

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

  • (g) The current issue price is $0.005 being the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 10 October 2024.

  • (h) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period.

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 Facility.

The identity of the recipients of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors set out in the Company’s allocation policy, including but not limited to the following:

  • (a) 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;

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

  • (c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

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

The recipients under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing Substantial Holders and/or new Shareholders who

Athena Resources Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2024

Page 11 of 14

Explanatory Memorandum

are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Use of 10% Placement Facility in prior 12 months

The Company has not obtained Shareholders’ approval for a 10% Placement Facility in the prior 12 months, and during the 12-month period preceding the date of this Meeting, being on and from 28 November 2023, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is not included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

Board Recommendation

The Directors of the Company believe Resolution 6 is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders and unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
