How to vote

Shareholders can vote by either:

  • attending the Meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate Shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or

  • appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the Proxy Form accompanying this Notice of Meeting and by submitting their proxy appointment and voting instructions in person, by post or electronically via the internet.

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 by a Corporation

A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.

Voting by proxy

  • A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.

  • The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).

  • A proxy need not be a Shareholder.

  • The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.

  • If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit.

  • Should any resolution, other than those specified in this Notice, be proposed at the Meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolution as they think fit.

  • If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the Shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.

  • Shareholders who return their Proxy Forms with a direction how to vote, but who do not nominate the identity of their proxy, will be taken to have appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a Proxy Form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the Meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions. Proxy appointments in favour of the Chair of the Meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used, where possible, to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions. These rules are explained in this Notice.

  • To be effective, proxies must be received by 10.00am (AWST) on Tuesday, 12 March 2024. Proxies received after this time will be invalid.

  • Proxies may be lodged using any of the following methods:

  • Online: Shareholders can submit their proxy voting instructions online at www.investorvote.com.au. Please refer to the enclosed proxy form for more information about submitting proxy voting instructions online.

  • By mail: Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited, GPO Box 242, Melbourne, Victoria 3001, Australia.

  • Custodians and nominees: Please visit www.intermediaryonline.com to submit your voting instructions.

  • The Proxy Form must be signed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder's attorney. Proxies given by corporations must be executed in accordance with the Corporations Act. Where the appointment of a proxy is signed by the appointer's attorney, a certified copy of the

Page | 7

Power of Attorney, or the power itself, must be received by the Company at the above address by 10.00am (AWST) on Tuesday, 12 March 2024.

Shareholders who are entitled to vote

In accordance with paragraphs 7.11.37 and 7.11.38 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Board has determined that a person's entitlement to vote at the Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the Register of Shareholders as at 4.00pm (AWST) on Tuesday, 12 March 2024.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting of the Company.

Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Memorandum. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations are set out in the Glossary to the Explanatory Memorandum.

1. Background to Resolutions 1 to 7

On 1 February 2024, the Company announced to ASX that it was undertaking a fully underwritten equity raising to raise $315 million (before costs) by way of:

  • (a) an accelerated non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer to eligible shareholders to raise $255 million (before costs) ( Entitlement Offer ) by way of the issue of approximately 1.020 billion Shares, with each eligible shareholder to be offered 1 new Share for every 1.19094 Shares held on the record date at an offer price of $0.25 per new Share ( Offer Price ); and

  • (b) a placement of new Shares at the Offer Price to sophisticated and professional investors to raise a further $60 million (before costs) in two tranches, with the second tranche subject to shareholder approval ( Placement ),

(together, the Equity Raising ).

As stated in that announcement (and the accompanying investor presentation released on the same date), the Equity Raising is expected to form the final component of equity funding for the base case capital requirements for the “salt-first” phase of the Mardie Project (being $1,287 million plus contingency of $156 million).[1] Further detail regarding the Mardie Project (and related financing for it) was set out in the Company’s 1 February 2024 ASX announcement and in the accompanying investor presentation. The completion of both the institutional component of the Entitlement Offer and Tranche 1 of the Placement was announced by the Company to ASX on 5 February 2024.

Canaccord was appointed to act as Global Coordinator, Lead Manager to the Entitlement Offer, Joint Lead Manager to the Placement, Underwriter and Bookrunner to the Equity Raising. Ord Minnett Limited was appointed to act as Joint Lead Manager to the Placement.

Tranche 1 of the Placement, which settled on 7 February 2024, utilised the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (as upsized by a ‘supersize’ waiver granted by ASX), and resulted in the issue of 190 million Shares raising $47.5 million (before costs) at the Offer Price ( Tranche 1 Issue ).

Tranche 2 will, subject to shareholder approval, result in the issue of a further approximately 50 million Shares to raise $12.5 million (before costs) at the Offer Price (the Tranche 2 Issue ). The Tranche 2 Issue includes participation from certain Directors (in respect of an aggregate of 1,865,102 Shares). In addition, as announced by the Company to ASX on 8 February 2024, the Company’s largest Shareholder, Wroxby, has agreed with Canaccord to sub-underwrite up to $2.5 million (representing up to 10,000,000 Shares) of Tranche 2 of the Placement, subject to Shareholder approval.

1 The base case capital requirements for the entire Mardie Salt and Potash Project are $1,421 million plus contingency of $208 million, which includes the SOP plant which is not included in the “salt-first” phase.

Page | 9

A table setting out the specific details of each tranche of the Placement is set out below:

Description Number of Shares issued/to be
Funds raised/to be raised
issued
Tranche 1 190,000,000 issued on 8 February $47.5 million raised
Tranche 2 49,999,311 to be issued $12.5 million to be raised
Total 239,999,311 $60.0 million

As mentioned above, the Placement is underwritten by Canaccord (provided, in the case of the Tranche 2 Issue, that Shareholders approve Resolution 2 so as to permit that component of the Placement to proceed).

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

Listing Rule 10.11

As the Placement contemplates the issue of Shares to Directors (or their nominees) as placees, and the potential issue of Shares to Wroxby (or its nominee) pursuant to its sub-underwriting arrangements with Canaccord, Listing Rule 10.11 applies.

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:

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • (b) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • (c) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5),

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

Please refer to the Explanatory Memorandum for each of Resolutions 1 to 7 for further information.

2. Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of Shares pursuant to Tranche 1 of the Placement

Please refer to the “Background to Resolutions 1 to 7” above for information about the Placement and Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4.

The Tranche 1 Issue does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it has used up all of the Company’s remaining 15% limit under Listing

Page | 10

Rule 7.1 (as upsized by a ‘supersize’ waiver granted by ASX), reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval. The Company confirms that the Tranche 1 Issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

Under Resolution 1, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the Tranche 1 Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 so as to retain flexibility (under Listing Rule 7.1) to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1, should the need arise.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Tranche 1 Issue will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company could issue without further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, and (as all of the Company’s current capacity to issue further shares has been used) will continue to restrict the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to the Tranche 1 Issue:

  • (a) The Shares were issued to Australian and overseas sophisticated and professional investors, none of whom are related parties of the Company. Some of the investors were existing Shareholders of the Company and the others were introduced to the Company by Canaccord and Ord Minnett Limited.

  • (b) The total number of securities issued pursuant to the Tranche 1 Issue was 190,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, and all of these Shares were issued on the same terms as all other Shares already on issue.

  • (c) 190,000,000 Shares were issued on 8 February 2024.

  • (d) The Shares were issued at the Offer Price of $0.25 per Share.

  • (e) Funds raised under the Placement are (together with the funds raised under the Entitlement Offer) expected to form the final component of equity funding for the base case capital requirements for the “salt-first” phase of the Mardie Project. Part of the funds will also be used for working capital.

  • (f) There are no further material terms to disclose in respect of the Tranche 1 Issue.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 1 is set out in the Notice.

Board recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

3. Resolution 2 – Issue of Shares pursuant to Tranche 2 of the Placement to investors

Please refer to the “Background to Resolutions 1 to 7” above for information about the Placement and Listing Rule 7.1.

Under this Resolution, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 49,999,311 Shares to sophisticated and professional investors under Tranche 2 of the Placement for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, so as to permit the Tranche 2 Issue to proceed.

Resolution 2 does not, itself, permit the issue of Shares under the Placement to Directors or to any other related party (and those approvals are sought under Resolutions 3 to 7 below).

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Tranche 2 Issue and the issue will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 (potentially increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without further Shareholder approval).

Page | 11

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Tranche 2 Issue and will not raise the full amount under the Placement.

Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information to be provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) Up to 49,999,311 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company may be issued to various sophisticated and professional investors, some of which are existing Shareholders of the Company and others who will be introduced to the Company by Canaccord and Ord Minnett Limited. Except to the extent approved under Resolutions 3 to 7 below, none of these investors will be related parties of the Company. To the extent of any shortfall in applications by investors under the Tranche 2 Issue, Canaccord (as underwriter), or sub-underwriters identified by Canaccord, will subscribe for the balance on the terms of the underwriting arrangements summarised in the Company’s 1 February 2024 ASX announcement and in the accompanying investor presentation.

  • (b) The Shares will be issued on or about 19 March 2024, and in any event within 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

  • (c) The Shares will be issued at the Offer Price of $0.25 per Share.

Board recommendation

4. Resolutions 3 to 6 – Issue of Shares to Directors under Tranche 2 of the Placement

Please refer to the “Background to Resolutions 1 to 7” above for information about the Placement and

Listing Rule 10.11.

The Company is proposing to issue Shares under Tranche 2 of the Placement to nominees of Mr Richard Court AC, Ms Miriam Stanborough AM, Mr David Boshoff and Mr Brian O’Donnell, each of whom is a Director ( Proposed Director Issues ). The number of Shares proposed to be issued to the nominees of each of these Directors under the Tranche 2 Issue is set out in the table below.

Director Shares
Mr Richard Court 320,000
Ms Miriam Stanborough 320,000
Mr David Boshoff 160,000
Mr Brian O’Donnell 1,065,102
Total 1,865,102

The Shares being issued to the nominee of Mr Brian O’Donnell under Tranche 2 of the Placement are in lieu of the Shares that Mr O’Donnell was otherwise intending to take up (via his superannuation fund) under the Entitlement Offer (as referred to in the Company’s ASX announcement of 1 February 2024).

Page | 12

The Proposed Director Issues fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and therefore require the approval of Shareholders. Resolutions 3 to 6 seek the required Shareholder approvals to the Proposed Director Issues for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of 320,000 Shares to a nominee of Mr Court AC.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of 320,000 Shares to a nominee of Ms Stanborough AM.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of 160,000 Shares to a nominee of Mr Boshoff.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of 1,065,102 Shares to a nominee of Mr O’Donnell.

If any of Resolutions 3, 4, 5 or 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Shares the subject of that Resolution to the named Directors (or their nominees). However, provided that Resolution 2 is passed, the relevant Shares will (as part of the broader Tranche 2 Issue) still be able to be issued by the Company to either sophisticated and professional investors, or to Canaccord (or sub-underwriters identified by Canaccord) pursuant to its underwriting commitment.

Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Listing Rule 10.13 requires the following information to be provided in relation to these Resolutions:

  • (a) The persons to acquire Shares under Tranche 2 of the Placement the subject of Resolutions 3 to 6 are:

  • (i) Resolution 3 – Australian Executor Trustees Limited as custodian for the R F Court Private Superannuation Fund;

  • (ii) Resolution 4 – Elygra Pty Ltd as trustee of the Limestone Creek Super Fund, and certain family members of Ms Stanborough AM;

  • (iii) Resolution 5 – Boshoff Family Pty Ltd; and

  • (iv) Resolution 6 – Rockstone Enterprises Pty Ltd as trustee of the O’Donnell Superannuation Fund.

Mr Boshoff is the Managing Director of the Company. Ms Stanborough, Mr Court AC and Mr O’Donnell are each Non-Executive Directors of the Company.

  • (b) Mr Court AC, Ms Stanborough AM, Mr Boshoff and Mr O’Donnell fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 as they are Directors of the Company. The nominees of those persons (referred to above) fall within Listing Rule 10.11.4 as associates of the above-mentioned Directors.

  • (c) The aggregate number of securities to be issued to the nominees of these Directors is 1,865,102 Shares. The number of Shares to be issued to the nominee of each particular Director is set out in the table above.

  • (d) It is proposed that the nominees of the Directors will be issued the Shares on or about 19 March 2024 and in any event within 1 month after the date of the Meeting.

  • (e) The Shares will be issued to the nominees of each Director at the Offer Price of $0.25 per Share.

  • (f) The issue of Shares to nominees of the Directors is part of the Tranche 2 Issue. Funds raised under the Placement are (together with funds raised under the Entitlement Offer) expected to form the final component of equity funding for the base case capital requirements for the “saltfirst” phase of the Mardie Project. Part of the funds would also be used for working capital.

  • (g) There are no further material terms to disclose in respect of the Tranche 2 Issue.

  • (h) Voting exclusion statements in respect of Resolutions 3 to 6 are set out in the Notice.

Page | 13

If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not separately required under Listing Rule 7.1. However, approval for the entire Tranche 2 Issue is being sought under Resolution 2 in any event.

Board recommendation

The Board does not make a voting recommendation to Shareholders in respect of Resolutions 3 to 6 given that those Resolutions relate to the issue of securities to nominees of current Directors.

5. Resolution 7 – Issue of Shares to Wroxby under Tranche 2 of the Placement

Please refer to the “Background to Resolutions 1 to 7” above for information about the Placement and Listing Rule 10.11.

As noted above, Wroxby has agreed with Canaccord to sub-underwrite up to $2.5 million (representing up to 10,000,000 Shares) of the Tranche 2 Issue, subject to Shareholder approval.

Accordingly, if there is any shortfall under Tranche 2 of the Placement, the Company may (at Canaccord’s direction, and subject to these sub-underwriting commitments) issue a portion of the shortfall Shares to Wroxby or its nominee up to a maximum of 10,000,000 Shares ( Proposed Wroxby Issue ).

The total number of Shares that may be issued under the Proposed Wroxby Issue will depend on any residual shortfall under the overall Tranche 2 Issue allocated to Wroxby. The table below sets out potential scenarios in relation to the number of Shares that could be issued to Wroxby under Tranche 2 of the Placement (as sub-underwriter).

Scenario Total number of Shares
Zero shortfall under Tranche 2 of the Placement 0
$1.25 million shortfall under Tranche 2 of the
Placement allocated to Wroxby as sub-underwriter
5,000,000
Maximum of $2.5 million shortfall under Tranche 2 of
the Placement allocated to Wroxby as sub-underwriter
10,000,000
(Maximum issue scenario)

As shown above, if there is no shortfall under the Tranche 2 Issue then no Shares will be issued to Wroxby as sub-underwriter. If there is a shortfall, then up to $2.5 million of that shortfall may be allocated to Wroxby as sub-underwriter.

As Wroxby is a person who is (or has at any time in the last 6 months been) a substantial (30%+) holder, the Proposed Wroxby Issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.2 and requires the approval of Shareholders. Resolution 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the Proposed Wroxby Issue for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Proposed Wroxby Issue and (depending on any residual shortfall under the Tranche 2 Issue) issue up to a total of 10,000,000 Shares to Wroxby or its nominee.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Proposed Wroxby Issue. However, provided that Resolution 2 is passed, the relevant Shares will (as part of the broader Tranche 2 Issue) still be able to be issued by the Company to either sophisticated and professional investors, or to Canaccord (or other sub-underwriters identified by Canaccord) pursuant to its underwriting commitment.

Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Listing Rule 10.13 requires the following information to be provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) The person who may acquire Shares under the Proposed Wroxby Issue the subject of Resolution 7 is Wroxby (or its nominee). Wroxby is the Company’s largest Shareholder, holding

Page | 14

approximately 43.05% of Shares in the Company as at the date of this Notice (which is anticipated to reduce to 36.12% upon the close of the retail component of the Entitlement Offer).

  • (b) Wroxby falls within Listing Rule 10.11.2 as it is a substantial (30%+) holder in the Company. Its nominee (if applicable) would fall within Listing Rule 10.11.4, as an associate of Wroxby.

  • (c) The total number of securities proposed to be issued to Wroxby (or its nominee) is a maximum of 10,000,000 Shares (pursuant to sub-underwriting arrangements entered into between Wroxby and Canaccord).

  • (d) It is proposed that Wroxby (or its nominee) would be issued the Shares on or about 19 March 2024 and in any event within 1 month after the date of the Meeting.

  • (e) The Shares would be issued to Wroxby (or its nominee) at the Offer Price of $0.25 per Share.

  • (f) Any issue of Shares to Wroxby (or its nominee) would form part of the Tranche 2 Issue. Funds raised would (together with funds raised under the Entitlement Offer) be expected to form the final component of equity funding for the base case capital requirements for the “salt-first” phase of the Mardie Project. Part of the funds would also be used for working capital.

  • (g) Wroxby will receive a sub-underwriting fee of $25,000 plus a fee of 1% of the proceeds of any shortfall shares it subscribes for pursuant to the sub-underwriting arrangements between it and the underwriter, Canaccord.

  • (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Board recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Brian O’Donnell who abstained given his connection with the Australian Capital Equity Pty Limited group, which includes Wroxby) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

6. Resolution 8 – Ratification of issue of Ryder Notes (and resultant Shares) to Ryder Investors

==> picture [13 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Background

On 19 October 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into agreements with its third largest Shareholder, Ryder Capital Limited (ACN 606 695 854) and an associated entity, Ryder Capital Management Pty Ltd (ACN 623 412 868) ATF BCI Account (together, the Ryder Investors ), which provided for the issue of $25 million in aggregate in convertible notes.

Pursuant to these agreements, 58,139,535 convertible notes (with an aggregate a face value of A$25 million) were issued to the Ryder Investors on 20 October 2023 (with ASX code BCIAW) ( Ryder Notes ). The funds raised provided the Company with ongoing support for critical path construction activities for the Mardie Project.

The key terms of the Ryder Notes are set out in Annexure A.

As stated in the Company’s ASX announcement on 19 October 2023, the Ryder Notes were subject to potential conversion upon a “Qualifying Offer” (as that term is defined in Annexure A).

As announced by the Company on 1 February 2024, the Company and the Ryder Investors agreed that all Ryder Notes would convert immediately prior to the issue of any Shares under the Equity Raising.

Accordingly, on 8 February 2024, the Ryder Notes (together with all capitalised interest on them) converted into 114,580,565 Shares in accordance with the terms of the convertible note documents and in full satisfaction of the Company’s repayment and interest obligations under the Convertible Note Subscription Deeds with the Ryder Investors.

Page | 15

==> picture [14 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Shareholder approval sought

Please refer to the “Background to Resolutions 1 to 7” above for information about Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4.

Neither the issue of the Ryder Notes nor the issue of the resultant Shares issued upon conversion of the Ryder Notes fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as these have not yet been approved by Shareholders, they have used up part of the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rules 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval. The Company confirms that the issue of the Ryder Notes did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

Under Resolution 8, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for, and ratification of, the issue of the Ryder Notes (and, by extension of the issue of the 114,580,565 Shares into which those Ryder Notes converted on 8 February 2024), under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 so as to retain as much flexibility as possible (under Listing Rule 7.1) to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 8 is passed, the issue of the Ryder Notes (and the Shares issued on conversion of those notes) will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 8 is not passed, the issue of the Ryder Notes (and the Shares issued on conversion of those notes) will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, and (as some of the capacity to issue further shares will have been used) will continue to restrict the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval.

==> picture [14 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to the issue of the Ryder Notes:

  • (a) The Ryder Notes were issued to the Ryder Investors, being Ryder Capital Limited (ACN 606 695 854) and an associated entity, Ryder Capital Management Pty Ltd (ACN 623 412 868) ATF BCI Account.

  • (b) 58,139,535 convertible notes, being the Ryder Notes, were issued in total. Conversion of all Ryder Notes occurred on 8 February 2024, resulting in the issue of 114,580,565 Shares to the Ryder Investors (which accounted for the $25 million aggregate face value of the notes plus capitalised interest).

  • (c) A summary of the key terms of the Ryder Notes are set out in Annexure A. Shares issued on conversion of the Ryder Notes have the same terms as all other Shares already on issue. There are no further material terms to disclose in respect of this arrangement.

  • (d) The Ryder Notes were issued on 20 October 2023. The Shares issued on conversion of the Ryder Notes were issued on 8 February 2024.

  • (e) The Ryder Notes were issued for $25 million in aggregate (before costs) ($5 million from Ryder Capital Limited and $20 million from Ryder Capital Management Pty Ltd ATF BCI Account). All of the Ryder Notes have converted into Shares. Conversion of the Ryder Notes satisfied the Company’s repayment and interest obligations under those Convertible Note Subscription Deeds with the Ryder Investors.

  • (f) The Ryder Notes were issued to fund critical path construction activities for the Mardie Project. No further funds were raised on conversion of the Ryder Notes.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 8 is set out in the Notice.
