The Board has determined that the registered holders of Shares at 7pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time) on Sunday 16 November 2025 will be taken to be holders of ordinary shares for the purposes of the Meeting and accordingly, will be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting.

Where two proxies are appointed, a Shareholder may specify the number or proportion of votes to be exercised by each proxy appointed. If no number or proportion of votes is specified, each proxy appointed will be taken to exercise half of that Shareholder’s votes (disregarding fractions).

An appointed proxy need not themselves be a Shareholder.

To be valid, the appointment of a proxy (made using a properly completed and executed Proxy Form) must be received by the Company no later than 10am on Sunday, 16 November 2025. Proxy Forms can be submitted in four ways:

Resolution 3 — Approval of additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A

Votes may not be cast and the Company will disregard votes cast in favour of Resolution 4 by or on behalf of a person, or any associate of that person, who is expected to participate in, or will obtain a material benefit as a result of, the proposed issue (except a benefit solely by reason of being a holder of Shares). In accordance with Listing Rule 14.11 and the relevant note under that rule concerning Rule 7.1A, as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, it is not known who may participate in the proposed issue (if any). On that basis, no security holders are currently excluded.

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of the resolution by:

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

Resolutions

All items of business involving a vote by Shareholders (other than Resolutions 3 and 4) require ordinary resolutions, which means that, to be passed, the item needs the approval of a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution.

Resolutions 3 and 4 are special resolutions, which means that to be passed the item needs the approval of at least 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution.

*Note: Current Variable A refers to the calculation required by Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which, in the Company’s case, equates to the current issued share capital of the Company.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (a) the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the 10% Listing Rule 7.1A approval;

  • (b) 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%;

  • (c) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of a share issue under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting;

  • (d) 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;

  • (e) the issue of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A consists only of Shares; and

the issue price is $0.17, being the closing price of the shares on ASX on 7 October 2025.

As at the date of the Notice of Meeting, the Company has on issue 84,935,025 Shares. Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained for Resolution 3, the Company will have capacity to issue the following equity securities as at the date of the AGM:

  • (a) 12,740,254 Shares (under Listing Rule 7.1); and

  • (b) 8,493,503 Shares (under Listing Rule 7.1A).[1 ]

Listing Rule 7.1A requires Resolution 3 to be passed as a special resolution. A special resolution needs approval by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 (15%) and 7.1A (10%) without any further Shareholder approval. If Resolution 3 isn’t passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Directors’ recommendation

The directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Resolution 4: Renewal of proportional takeover provisions in the Constitution

General

Section 648G(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a company’s proportional takeover approval provisions, unless sooner omitted from its constitution, cease to apply at the end of 3 years from adoption or renewal as appropriate unless otherwise specified.

When the provisions cease to apply the company’s constitution is modified by omitting the provisions.

A company may renew its proportional takeover approval provisions in the same manner in which a company can modify its constitution (i.e. by special resolution of shareholders).

Resolution 4 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to modify its Constitution by renewing clause 15 for a period of 3 years from the date of Shareholder approval. It is noted that Shareholder approval will not result in a change to the wording of clause 15.

The Company is permitted to seek further Shareholder approval to renew this clause for further periods of up to 3 years on each occasion.

Proportional takeover provisions (clause 15 of Constitution)

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s shares.

The proportional takeover provisions set out in clause 36 of the Constitution provides that a proportional takeover bid for Shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of Shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.

This clause will cease to have effect on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption of the last renewal

of the clause.

Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act

Effect of proportional takeover provisions

Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed or the deadline for obtaining such approval has passed.

Reasons for proportional takeover provisions

A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.

Knowledge of any acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

Advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions during the period in which they have been in effect

The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions had no advantages or disadvantages for them during the period in which they have been in effect.

The advantages and disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include those set out immediately below, which were applicable during the period in which they have been in effect.

Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions

The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (A) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;

  • (B) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority;

  • (C) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and

  • (D) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.

The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (A) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;

  • (B) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and (C) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.

Recommendation of the Board

The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of renewing the proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that renewal of the proportional takeover provision set out in clause 15 of the Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

The directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

1 The actual number of Shares the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A may vary and will be determined at the date of issue in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as illustrated in the table above).
