Further details of Mr Crow’s qualifications and experience are set out in the Company’s Annual Report, which was released to ASX on 30 September 2022.

The Directors (with Stuart Crow abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of this Ordinary Resolution.

8. Resolution 6 - Authority to issue shares for cash

Under Rule 6.1 of the Company’s Constitution, prior to issuing Equity Securities (meaning shares (including preference shares), stock, stock units and rights or options to subscribe for any of the foregoing) the Company is required to make an offer of Equity Securities first to Shareholders pro rata to their existing holdings. Rule 6.3 then allows the Company to resolve, by Ordinary Resolution, that the Directors are authorised to issue and allot Equity Securities for up to 15% of the Company’s issued share capital for cash as if the pre-emption rights did not apply (a Disapplication Resolution ).

It is the Company’s view that it can raise capital in a cost efficient and timely manner by carrying out a private placement of its shares instead of an offer of Equity Securities to all existing Shareholders where the costs of compliance with relevant securities laws would be much greater.

Accordingly, Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval under Rule 6.3 of the Company’s Constitution to authorise the Directors to issue up to 15% of the Company’s issued share capital at the time of the Meeting, as if the pre-emption rights in Rule 6.1 of the Company’s Constitution did not apply. By way of example, and using the issued share capital of the Company at the date of this Notice of Meeting, approval to issue 15% of the Company’s capital pursuant to this Resolution would represent 90,861,249 shares.

The Directors will be authorised to issue Equity Securities for cash without first offering them to all Shareholders of the Company on a pro rata basis which is equal to 15% of the Company’s issued share capital as at the date the resolution is approved.

An authority given under this Resolution will expire at the earlier of the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting, or the date twelve (12) months from the date of the Resolution or revocation of the authority by the Company.

For completeness, the Company notes that Resolution 6 is not authorising a specific issue of shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and any future issue of shares will be required to be issued in accordance with the Listing Rules, including without limitation Listing Rule 7.1. The Atlantic Directors strongly support this Resolution and recommend all shareholders vote in favour.

9. Resolution 7 - Authority to issue shares for non-cash consideration purposes

Resolution 7 seeks shareholder approval for the purposes of Rule 6.2(a) of the Company’s Constitution to specifically authorise the Directors to issue and allot up to a maximum of 15%

Page 4 of 11

2243459 - 25687357v1

Explanatory Memorandum

of the Company’s Issued Share Capital (at the time of the Meeting) to be used at the discretion of the Board as consideration to key suppliers for services rendered and / or capital expenditure (eg. project-related equity) for the period through to the Company’s next Annual General Meeting, in order to assist with the preservation of the Company’s treasury.

Under Rule 6.1 of the Constitution, the Company is required to make an offer of equity securities first to existing Shareholders pro rata to their existing holdings (the “Pre-emption Rights”). Rule 6.2(a) enables the issue of equity securities which are wholly paid up otherwise than in cash free of such Pre-emption Rights where this is approved by an Ordinary Resolution of the Company’s Shareholders. By way of example, and using the issued share capital of the Company at the date of this Notice of Meeting, approval to issue 15% of the Company’s capital pursuant to this Resolution would represent 90,861,249 shares.

For completeness, the Company notes that Resolution 7 is not authorising a specific issue of shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and any future issue of shares will be required to be issued in accordance with the Listing Rules, including without limitation Listing Rule 7.1.

The Atlantic Directors strongly support this Resolution and recommend all shareholders vote in favour.

10. Resolution 8 – Amendment to Constitution

  • 10.1 General

Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company may modify or repeal its constitution, or a provision of its constitution by special resolution. This requires approval of 75% or more of all votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a member which is a corporation, a representative).

The Company seeks to repeal and replace its Constitution to capture amendments with respect to:

  • (a) updating the restricted securities provisions in a manner to allow the Constitution to meet the relevant requirements under the ASX Listing Rules; and

  • (b) facilitating the Company’s ability to hold general meetings of Shareholders utilising virtual meeting technology.

The Company’s current Constitution was approved by Shareholders on 29 November 2017. Since that time, there have been amendments to the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and other applicable laws and rules which are not reflected in the current Constitution.

The Board considers now is an ideal opportunity to bring the Constitution into line with current requirements around:

  • (a) restricted securities, to reflect amendments to the Listing Rules which require particular provisions to be included in a company’s constitution where it issues restricted securities; and

  • (b) virtual shareholder meetings, to reflect amendments to the Corporations Act introduced earlier this year permitting meetings to be held using virtual technology.

A summary of the proposed changes is set out below.

A copy of the proposed amended Constitution (and a comparison between the current Constitution and the proposed amended Constitution) is available for review by Shareholders - at the Company’s website (https://www.atlanticlithium.com.au/corporate governance). A copy

Page 5 of 11

2243459 - 25687357v1

Explanatory Memorandum

of the proposed amended Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary ([email protected]).

Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns regarding the proposed amendments to the Constitution.

10.2 Summary of material proposed changes

  • (a) Restricted Securities

Background

On 2 December 2019, amendments to the Listing Rules came into effect. Specifically, amendments to Listing Rule 15.12 relate to new requirements for listed entities’ constitutions in respect of restricted securities.

Restricted securities are securities which are subject to escrow requirements, meaning they are restricted from being traded for a period of time. Whether securities are treated as restricted securities is determined on a case-by-case basis.

The updated Listing Rules require listed entities to include specific wording in their constituent documents regarding treatment of restricted securities – that they be subject to mandatory escrow restrictions, must be held on the issuer sponsored subregister, and be subject to a holding lock.

Proposed Amendments

The Company intends, subject to Shareholder approval, to amend Rule 83 of the Constitution in accordance with section 136(2) of the Corporations Act to expressly reflect the language contained in Listing Rule 15.12.

The Company notes that there are presently no restricted securities on issue. The proposed amendments are intended to ensure the Constitution complies with the Listing Rules should any restricted securities be issued in the future.

(b) General Meetings of Shareholders

Background

The Corporations Amendment (Meeting and Documents) Act 2022 (Cth) (Act) was given royal asset on 22 February 2022 and makes amendments to the Corporations Act which allow for general meetings using virtual technology. The Act made permanent certain temporary relief which permitted the holding of virtual shareholder meetings during 2020 and 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Section 249R of the Corporations Act now provides that a company may hold a meeting of its members:

  • (a) at one or more physical venues; or

  • (b) at one or more physical venues and using virtual meeting technology; or

  • (c) using virtual meeting technology only, if this is required or permitted by the company’s constitution expressly.

The Company seeks to amend the Constitution (such amendments to be captured by the repeal and replacement of the Constitution under Resolution 8) to provide for greater flexibility in holding meetings using technology, in accordance with the Corporations Act.

Page 6 of 11

2243459 - 25687357v1

Explanatory Memorandum

Proposed Amendments

The Company intends to better facilitate the Company’s ability to hold a general meeting of Shareholders utilising technology, subject to Shareholder approval, by amending Rule 24 of the Constitution in accordance with section 136(2) of the Corporations Act.

The amendments to Rule 24 of the Constitution will allow the Company to hold hybrid meetings (being a meeting held in both a physical and virtual location), or wholly virtual meetings (being a meeting facilitated entirely by virtual meeting technology), so long as Shareholders are given a reasonable opportunity to participate in the business of the meeting.

Furthermore, the amendments to Rule 24 also allow a Shareholder attending a virtual or hybrid meeting using virtual meeting technology to be “present” for quorum purposes, if the technology allows the Shareholder a reasonable opportunity to participate in the business of the general meeting and vote on a show of hands or a poll.

10.3 Directors’ Recommendation

Resolution 8 is a Special Resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must vote in favour of Resolution 8 for it to be passed.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8. Any undirected proxies held by the Chairperson will be voted in favour of Resolution 8.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

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.
