Voting

Voting by Proxy
A Shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at this Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote in place of the Shareholder.
If the Shareholder appoints two proxies, the Shareholder may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is entitled to exercise. If no proportion or number of votes is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder’s votes. If the specified proportion or number of votes exceeds that which the Shareholder is entitled to, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder’s votes. Any fractions of votes brought about by the apportionment of votes to a proxy will be disregarded.
A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company. A body corporate appointed as a shareholder’s proxy may appoint a representative to exercise any of the powers the body may exercise as a proxy at the Meeting. The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence (in an electronic format capable of distribution by email) of his or her appointment, including any authority under which the appointment is signed, unless it has previously been given to the Company.

Proxy Voting by the Chair
For Item 2, where the Chair is appointed as a Shareholder’s proxy and that shareholder has not specified the way in which the Chair is to vote on those items, the Shareholder is directing the Chair to vote in accordance with the Chair’s voting intentions for this Item of business, even though Item 2 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

Reasons for Resolution
In accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act the Company has proposed a Remuneration Report for the consideration of Shareholders.
As provided by section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the resolution on this item of business is advisory only and does not bind the Board or the Company.
The objective of the Company's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate to the nature and scope of relevant responsibilities, aligns the interests of directors and executives with Shareholders’ interests, and is reasonable and fair to employees and Shareholders.
Directors’ Recommendation
Noting that each Director of the Company has a personal interest in their own remuneration the subject of this resolution, the Board does not consider it appropriate to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to voting on this resolution.

Voting Exclusion Statement
As required by the Corporations Act, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Item 2 by any member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) details of whose remuneration are included in the remuneration report or a Closely Related Party of any such member unless the person:
-
(i) votes as a proxy appointed in writing that specifies how the person is to vote on the resolution; or
-
(ii) is the Chair of the Meeting and votes as a proxy appointed in writing that authorises the Chair to vote on the resolution even though that resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of the Company’s KMP.
What this means for Shareholders: If you intend to appoint a member of the KMP (such as one of the Directors) as your proxy, please ensure that you direct them how to vote on the proposed resolution in Item 2. If you intend to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, you can direct him how to vote by marking the boxes for Item 2 (for example, if you wish to vote for, against or abstain from voting), or you can choose not to mark any of the boxes for Item 2 and give the Chair your express authority to vote your undirected proxy (in which case the Chair will vote in favour of this item of business).

Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors (with Mr Greenberg abstaining) unanimously support the election of Mr Greenberg and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
ITEM 4 – Additional 10% Placement Capacity
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an eligible entity (as defined below) may seek security holder approval by special resolution at its Annual General Meeting to issue equity securities equivalent to an additional 10% of the number of ordinary securities on issue over a period of 12 months after the Annual General Meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ). This is in addition to the existing 15% placement capacity permitted by ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Item 4 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 Item 4 for it to be passed.
If Item 4 is approved, the number of equity securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out below). If the resolution is not approved, any Equity Securities issued will be deducted from the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (with the exception of those items provided for as exceptions under Listing Rule 7.2), and Shareholder approval will be required for the issue of any additional Equity Securities in excess of that 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.
As at the date of this Notice, 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 $26.1 million (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on ASX on 1 November 2023).
Any equity securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted equity securities. The Company currently has the following classes of securities, being:
Page 8
ATOMOS LIMITED (ASX:AMS) 700 SWANSTON STREET CARLTON VIC 3053 ACN: 139 730 500
==> picture [59 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
-
401,821,079 quoted fully paid ordinary shares (ASX Code: AMS);
-
2,439,2311 unquoted options expiring various dates (ASX Code: AMSSA);
-
83,819 unquoted share rights (ASX Code: AMSAF); and
-
1,089,018 unquoted performance rights (ASX Code: AMSAE).
The number of equity securities that the Company may issue under the approval sought by Item 4 will be calculated in accordance with the following formula as set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A:
(A x D) – E
Where:
A = the number of fully paid Shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:
-
(i) plus, the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9,16 or 17;
-
(ii) plus, the number of Shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities under rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
a. the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
b. 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;
-
(iii) plus, the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
a. the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
b. the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(iv) plus, the number of fully paid Shares issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;
-
(v) Plus, the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-
(vi) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the relevant period.
D = 10%.
E = 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 to issue has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4; and
“relevant period” means the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or
agreement.

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Item 4:
Minimum price
Under the ASX Listing Rules, the securities may only be issued for cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(a) 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 securities; or
-
(b) if the securities are not issued within 10 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the securities are issued.
Risk of voting dilution
Shareholders should be aware there is a risk of economic and voting dilution that may result from an issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, including the risk that:
-
the market price for equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting where approval is being sought; and
-
the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the date of issue.
Any issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any equity securities under the issue.
If Item 4 is approved 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.
The table below shows 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 the Shares and the current
Page 10
ATOMOS LIMITED (ASX:AMS) 700 SWANSTON STREET CARLTON VIC 3053 ACN: 139 730 500
==> picture [59 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting. The table also assumes that no options on issue are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the equity securities.
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.[ 1]
| Variable “A” in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |
Dilution | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ 0.0325 50% decrease in Issue Price |
$ 0.065 Issue Price |
$ 0.13 100% increase in Issue Price |

| Funds Raised | $2,611,836 | $5,223,673 | $10,447,347 |
Notes:
1 The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(a) The Company issues the maximum number of shares available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;
-
(b) The table shows only the effect of shares issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and does not factor in the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its issued capital under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
-
(c) The current issue price is $0.065, being the price of the Shares listed on ASX on 1 November 2023; and
-
(d) The current number of securities on issue is the Shares on issue as at 1 November 2023 , being 401,821,079.
Page 11
ATOMOS LIMITED (ASX:AMS) 700 SWANSTON STREET CARLTON VIC 3053 ACN: 139 730 500
==> picture [59 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
The table shows:
-
two examples where Variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. 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 approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
two examples of where the issue price of shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% against the current market price.
Period for which the approval will be valid
If Shareholder approval is granted for Item 4, then that approval will expire on the earlier of:
-
(a) 30 November 2024, being 12 months from the date of the Meeting;
-
(b) the time and date of the Company’s next Annual General Meeting; or
-
(c) the time and date Shareholder approval is granted to a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (proposed change to nature and scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (change involving main undertaking).
The approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for various purposes including general working capital purposes and to raise funds to further develop the Company’s product offering. The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3 upon issue of any Equity Securities.

==> picture [59 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity
The allottees of the equity securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been
determined. However, the allottees 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 the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(a) the purpose of the issue;
-
(b) 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;
-
(c) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
(d) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(e) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(f) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Securities issued or agreed to be issued under rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the date of Meeting
The Company did not issue any Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 over the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting.
Director’s Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the resolution in Item 4.
Voting Exclusion statement
The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of the Resolution by or on behalf of:
-
a person who is expected to participate in, or who will obtain a material benefit as a result of the proposed issue (except a benefit solely by reason of being a holder of ordinary securities in the Company); or

Page 13

TO VOTE BY COMPLETING THE PROXY FORM
STEP 1 APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
Indicate who you want to appoint as your Proxy.
If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.
Appointment of a Second Proxy
You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.
STEP 3 SIGN THE FORM
The form must be signed as follows: Individual: This form is to be signed by the securityholder.
Joint Holding : where the holding is in more than one name, all the securityholders should sign.
Power of Attorney: to sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry. Alternatively, attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies: this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.
STEP 4 LODGEMENT
To appoint a second proxy you must: (a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities 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.
(b) return both forms together in the same envelope.
STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY
To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.
Proxy which is a Body Corporate
Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.
Proxy forms (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting, therefore by 11:00am (AEDT) on Tuesday, 28 November 2023. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
Proxy forms may be lodged using the enclosed Reply Paid Envelope or:
