1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 4 – ISSUE OF SECURITIES UNDER THE PLACEMENT

On 19 June 2023, the Company announced a placement to new and existing sophisticated investors of 7,580,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.33 per Share ( Placement Shares ) to raise $2.5 million, before costs ( Placement ). Under the terms of the Placement, each investor was entitled to be issued a free attaching Option on a 1-for-2 basis with an exercise price of $0.66 per Option and an expiry date that is 3 years from their date of issue ( Placement Options ).

The Placement Shares were issued on 27 June 2023 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

A total of 3,790,008 Placement Options were issued on 14 July 2023 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

On 30 May 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with PAC Partners Securities Pty Ltd (ACN 623 653 912) ( PAC Partners ) to provide lead manager and bookrunning services to the Company in relation to the Placement, on certain terms and conditions, for a period of 12 months ( Lead Manager Agreement ). Under the terms of the Lead Manager Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 1,263,333 Options to PAC Partners with an exercise price of $0.66 per Option and expiring 3 years from their date of issue ( Lead Manager Options ).

The Lead Manager Options were issued on 14 July 2023 pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES UNDER LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

2.1 Background

As stated in section 1 of this Explanatory Statement, the purpose of Resolutions 1 and 2 is to seek the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of Placement Shares that were issued in accordance with Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

1,886,998 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1) and 5,693,002 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 3 November 2022 (being the subject of Resolution 2).

2.2 Regulatory Requirements

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

As stated in section 2.1 of this Explanatory Statement, at the Company’s annual general meeting held on 3 November 2022, the Company obtained Shareholder approval for an additional 10% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.

The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 and so it does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The issue of the Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the issue of the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.

However, Resolution 1 is not dependent on Resolution 2 being passed, and Resolution 2 is not dependent on Resolution 1 being passed.

(i). a related party of the entity;

(ii). a member of the entity’s Key Management Personnel; (iii). a substantial holder in the entity; (iv). an adviser to the entity; or

3. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT OPTIONS UNDER LISTING RULE 7.1

3.1 Background

As stated in section 1 of the Explanatory Statement, the purpose of Resolution 3 is to seek the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of the Placement Options that were issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1.

3.2 Regulatory Requirements

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Placement Options does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Options.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 and so it does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The issue of the Placement Options did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the issue of the Placement Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Options.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the issue of the Placement Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Options.

3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) The names of the persons to whom the entity issued or agreed to issue the securities or the basis on which those persons were identified and selected

The Placement Options were issued to sophisticated and professional investor who were identified through a bookbuild process which involved PAC Partners seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from non-related parties of the Company. None of the investors were material investors in the Company.[2]

2 ASX consider the following to be material investors: (i). a related party of the entity; (ii). a member of the entity’s Key Management Personnel; (iii). a substantial holder in the entity; (iv). an adviser to the entity; or (v). an associate of any of the above,

where such person or entity is being issued more than 1% of the entity’s current issued capital.

14

(b) Number of securities and class of securities issued

3,790,008 Placement Options were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (c) Terms of the securities

  • (d) Date of issue

The Placement Options were issued on 14 July 2023.

  • (e) Issue price or other consideration

  • (f) Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of funds raised

  • (g) Relevant agreement

The Placement Shares were not issued pursuant to any agreement.

  • (h) Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement has been provided for Resolution 3 in the Special Business section of this Notice of Meeting.

3.4

Board Recommendation

The Directors believe that the ratification of issue of the Placement Options is beneficial for the Company as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital under Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF LEAD MANAGER OPTIONS TP PAC PARTNERS UNDER LISTING RULE 7.1

4.1 Background

As stated in section 1 of the Explanatory Statement, the purpose of Resolution 4 is to seek the approval of Shareholders to ratify the issue of the Lead Manager Options that were issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 Regulatory Requirements

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Lead Manager Options does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Lead Manager Options.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 and so it does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

15

The issue of the Lead Manager Options did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the issue of the Lead Manager Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Lead Manager Options.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the issue of the Lead Manager Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Lead Manager Options.

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (a) The names of the persons to whom the entity issued or agreed to issue the securities or the basis on which those persons were identified and selected

  • The Lead Manager Options were issued to Pac Partners and its nominees as part consideration for providing lead manager and bookrunning services to the Company in relation to the Placement. Neither PAC Partners or its nominees were related parties of, or material investors in, the Company.[3]

  • (b) Number of securities and class of securities issued

  • 1,263,333 Lead Manager Options were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (c) Terms of the securities

  • (d) Date of issue

The Lead Manager Options were issued on 14 July 2023.

The purpose of the Lead Manager Options was to assist the Company to raise funds via the issue of the Placement Shares.

  • (g) Relevant agreement

The Lead Manager Options were issued pursuant to the Lead Manager Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Lead Manager Agreement is set out in Schedule 1 to this Notice of Meeting.

  • 3 ASX consider the following to be material investors:

(ii). a member of the entity’s Key Management Personnel; (iii). a substantial holder in the entity; (iv). an adviser to the entity; or

(v). an associate of any of the above,

where such person or entity is being issued more than 1% of the entity’s current issued capital.

16

(h) Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement has been provided for Resolution 4 in the Special Business section of this Notice of Meeting.

4.4 Board Recommendation

The Directors believe that the ratification of issue of the Lead Manager Options is beneficial for the Company as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital under Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

5. RESOLUTIONS 5 TO 9 – ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS UNDER THE LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

5.1 Background

The Board has resolved to grant 2,700,000 Performance Rights (in aggregate) pursuant to the Company’s current Long Term Incentive Plan ( Plan ) to the Directors ( Director Performance Rights ).

Subject to Shareholder approval under Resolutions 5 to 9 as applicable, the Company proposes to issue 2,700,000 Director Performance Rights (in aggregate) to the Directors as follows:

Resolution Director Number of Director
Performance Rights
Resolution 5 Neil Warburton (Non-Executive Chairman) 500,000
Resolution 6 Arvind Misra (Managing Director) 1,000,000
Resolution 7 Simon Robertson (Non-Executive Director) 400,000
Resolution 8 John Traicos (Non-Executive Director and
Company Secretary)
400,000
Resolution 9 Jason Ward (Non-Executive Director) 400,000

5.2 Regulatory Requirements

Resolutions 5 to 9 seek Shareholder approval in order to comply with the requirements of Listing Rules 10.14 and sections 195(4), 200B, 200E and 208 of the Corporations Act.

5.3 Listing Rules

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company must not issue, under an employee incentive scheme, Equity Securities to:

  • (a) a director of the Company;

  • (b) an associate of a director of the Company;

  • (c) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by the Shareholders,

unless the issue has been approved by holders of ordinary securities.

The Director Performance Rights to be issued to Messrs Warburton, Misra, Robertson, Traicos and Ward fall within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

17

Resolutions 5 to 9 seek the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

If approval is given by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 under Resolutions 5 to 9, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Performance Rights the subject of the respective Resolutions which are passed.

If approval is not given by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 under Resolutions 5 to 9, the Company will not be able to proceed in issuing the Director Performance Rights the subject of the respective Resolutions which are not passed.

Each of Resolutions 5 to 9 are not dependent on any other Resolution being passed.

5.4 Listing Rule 10.15 and ASX Guidance Note 19

In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 10.15 and ASX Guidance Note 19 , Shareholders are advised of the following information:

  • (a) Nature of relationship between person to receive securities and the Company

The Director Performance Rights under Resolutions 5 to 9, will be issued to Messrs Warburton, Misra, Robertson, Traicos and Ward respectively, who fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.14.1, as each is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

(b) Rationale

Details of each Director’s total remuneration package is set out in section 5.4(e) of this Explanatory Statement.

The Company has proposed to issue the Director Performance Rights to reward and incentivise Messrs Warburton, Misra, Robertson, Traicos and Ward to contribute to the growth of the Company and to secure and retain employees and directors who can assist the Company in achieving its objectives. The Company believes that the grant of the Director Performance Rights provides a cost-effective and efficient incentive as opposed to alternative forms of incentives (e.g. cash bonuses). In this regard:

  • (i) Neil Warburton in his capacity as Non-Executive Chairman has provided, and is expected to provide further time, expertise and effort in the guiding the strategic direction and management of the Company and leadership at Board level.

  • (ii) Arvind Misra in his capacity as Managing Director has provided, and is expected to provide further time, expertise and effort in leading and managing the business of the Company, its exploration activities and corporate matters.

  • (iii) Simon Roberston in his capacity as Non-Executive Director has provided, and is expected to provide further time, expertise and effort in ensuring the effective governance of the Company and formulating the strategic direction of the Company.

  • (iv) John Traicos in his capacity as Non-Executive Director and Company Secretary has provided, and is expected to provide further time, expertise and effort in ensuring the effective governance of the Company and contributing to the development of Board and Company policies.

  • (v) Jason Ward in his capacity as Non-Executive Director and Chief Technical Consultant has provided, and is expected to provide further time, expertise and effort in leading and managing the Company’s exploration activities and contributing to the formulation of the strategic direction of the Company.

The number of Director Performance Rights to be issued to each Director was determined by the Board, having regard to:

  • (vi) their role and contribution within the Company; and

18

(vii) the desire of the Company to attract and retain an effective team.

The Board considers the number of Director Performance Rights to be appropriate and equitable for the following reasons:

  • (viii) the Board considers the Director Performance Rights are consistent with ASX’s policy regarding the base requirements for performance securities, which are detailed in section 9 of ASX Guidance Note 19;

  • (ix) the number of Shares into which the Director Performance Rights will convert if the performance milestones are achieved is fixed (1 for 1) which allows investors and analysts to readily understand and have reasonable certainty as to the impact on the Company’s capital structure if the performance milestones are achieved;

  • (x) there is an appropriate and demonstrable nexus between the performance milestones and the purposes for which the Director Performance Rights are being issued, and the performance milestones are clearly articulated by reference to objective criteria;

  • (xi) there is an appropriate link to the benefit of Shareholders and the Company at large through the achievement of the performance milestones; and

  • (xii) the Director Performance Rights have an expiry date by which the relevant performance milestones are to be achieved and, if the milestones are not achieved by that date, the Performance Rights will lapse.

(c) Maximum number of securities that may be acquired pursuant to the Resolution

The maximum number of Director Performance Rights to be issued to each of Messrs Warburton, Misra, Robertson, Traicos and Ward (or their nominees) is outlined in section 5.1 of this Explanatory Statement.

(d)

Issue price

The Director Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration and accordingly no funds will be raised.

(e)

Directors’ current total remuneration package

Details of the remuneration of Messrs Warburton, Misra, Robertson, Traicos and Ward for the previous financial year and the proposed remuneration for the current financial year are set out below:

Director Financial Year ended 30
June 20231 ($)
Financial Year ending 30 June
2024 (proposed)1 ($)
Neil Warburton 50,227 50,455
Arvind Misra 307,200 307,200
Simon
Robertson
79,102 79,405
John Traicos 133,327 133,897
Jason Ward 3,348 40,363

Notes:

  • 1 Includes salary & fees and equity based payments but excluding the proposed Director Performance Rights the subject of Resolutions 5 to 9.

(f)

Previous issues to the recipients under the Plan

The Company has previously issued 4,550,000 Performance Rights in aggregate under the Plan to the Directors as follows:

19

Director Previous issue of Performance
Rights
Neil Warburton (Non-Executive Chairman) 750,000
Arvind Misra (Managing Director) 3,000,000
Simon Robertson (Non-Executive Director) 400,000
John Traicos (Non-Executive Director and
Company Secretary)
400,000
Jason Ward Nil

The Performance Rights previously issued to Messrs Warburton and Misra have vested and Shares issued to them in accordance with their terms of issue.

Subject to Shareholder approval of Resolutions 7 and 8 for the issue of a further 400,000 Director Performance Rights to each of Messrs Robertson and Traicos, with the agreement of Messrs Robertson and Traicos, the Company intends to cancel the existing 400,000 Performance Rights that Messrs Robertson and Traicos each currently hold.

The vesting milestones of the Performance Rights to be cancelled are as follows:

Simon
Robertson
Series A 200,000 Vest by 22 June 2025 upon the
Company’s shares achieving a share
price of at least $1.35 over a 20
consecutive trading day period
Series B 200,000 Vest by 22 June 2026 upon the
Company’s shares achieving a share
price of at least $1.65 over a 20
consecutive trading day period
John Traicos Series A 200,000 Vest by 22 June 2025 upon the
Company’s shares achieving a share
price of at least $1.35 over a 20
consecutive trading day period
Series B 200,000 Vest by 22 June 2026 upon the
Company’s shares achieving a share
price of at least $1.65 over a 20
consecutive trading day period

The Board considers it is improbable that these vesting milestones will be satisfied and that as a result, the Performance Rights do not serve their intended purpose of rewarding and incentivising Messrs Robertson and Traicos. Accordingly, the Board considers it appropriate to cancel these Performance Rights, with the agreement of Messrs Robertson and Traicos, subject to Shareholder approval of Resolutions 7 and 8.

(g) Rights

A summary of the material terms of the Director Performance Rights, including their exercise price, expiry date and vesting conditions, is set out in Schedule 3 to this Notice of Meeting.

(h)

Value of the Director Performance Rights

Details of the value of the Director Performance Rights are set out in section 5.6(c) of this Explanatory Statement.

(j) Eligible participants under the Plan

Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan and who were not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that Listing Rule 10.14.

(k) Issue date

The Company intends to issue the Director Performance Rights the subject of Resolutions 5 to 9 as soon as practicable after the date of the Meeting and in any event within 3 months of the date of the Meeting.

  • (l) Loan

No loans have or will be made by the Company in connection with the proposed issue of the Director Performance Rights.

  • (m) Voting exclusion statement

  • A voting exclusion statement for Resolutions 5 to 9 is included in the Special Business Section of this Notice of Meeting.

5.5 Section 208 of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” to “related parties” by a public company. Chapter 2E prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

  • (b) prior Shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

A “related party” is widely defined under the Corporations Act and includes the directors of a company. As such, the Directors of the Company are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

A “financial benefit” is construed widely and in determining whether a financial benefit is being given, section 229 of the Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. Section 229 of the Corporations Act includes as an example of a financial benefit, the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party.

In compliance with the information requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised of the information below. The Company is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to the financial benefits contemplated by Resolutions 5 to 9.

(a) Identity of the parties to whom Resolutions 5 to 9 permit financial benefits to be given

The Director Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to Messrs Warburton, Misra, Robertson, Traicos and Ward all of whom are Directors of the Company and are, as such, related parties of the Company.

(b) Nature of the financial benefits

Resolutions 5 to 9 seek approval from Shareholders to allow the Company to issue to Messrs Warburton, Misra, Robertson, Traicos and Ward the Director Performance Rights as set out in section 5.1 of the Explanatory Statement.

21

Schedule 3 to this Notice of Meeting sets out the material terms and conditions of the Director Performance Rights including, the vesting conditions and expiry date of the Director Performance Rights.

The Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Director Performance Rights will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares. The Company will apply for official quotation of the Shares on ASX.

The issue of the Director Performance Rights and Shares are a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to reward and incentivise its personnel as opposed to alternative forms of incentives such as cash bonuses or increased remuneration. To enable the Company to secure and retain employees and directors who can assist the Company in achieving its objectives, it is necessary to provide remuneration and incentives to such personnel. The issue of the Director Performance Rights is designed to achieve this objective, by encouraging continued improvement in performance over time and by encouraging personnel to acquire and retain significant shareholdings in the Company.

(c) Valuation of financial benefit

The value of the Director Performance Rights to be issued under Resolutions 5 to 9 are set out below:

Director Number of Director
Performance Rights
Value ($)
Neil Warburton (Non-Executive
Chairman)
500,000 109,206
Arvind Misra (Managing Director) 1,000,000 218,411
Simon Robertson (Non-Executive
Director)
400,000 87,365
John Traicos (Non-Executive
Director and Company Secretary)
400,000 87,365
Jason Ward (Non-Executive
Director)
400,000 87,365

Full details in respect of this valuation, including the valuation methodology, is set out in Schedule 5 to this Notice of Meeting.

(d) Dilution

If the Director Performance Rights vest and are exercised, the effect will be to dilute the holdings of Shares of other Shareholders.

If Director Performance Rights are issued:

  • (i) under Resolution 5, a total of 500,000 Director Performance Rights would be issued. Upon vesting of these Director Performance Rights (based on the number of Shares and Options on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting and assuming no Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued), the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate 0.74%;

  • (ii) under Resolution 6, a total of 1,000,000 Director Performance Rights would be issued. Upon vesting of these Director Performance Rights (based on the number of Shares and Options on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting and assuming no Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued), the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate 1.48%;

22

  • (iii) under Resolution 7, a total of 400,000 Director Performance Rights would be issued. Upon vesting of these Director Performance Rights (based on the number of Shares and Options on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting and assuming no Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued), the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate 0.59%;

  • (iv) under Resolution 8, a total of 400,000 Director Performance Rights would be issued. Upon vesting of these Director Performance Rights (based on the number of Shares and Options on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting and assuming no Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued), the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate 0.59%;

  • (v) under Resolution 9, a total of 400,000 Director Performance Rights would be issued. Upon vesting of these Director Performance Rights (based on the number of Shares and Options on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting and assuming no Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued), the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate 0.59%.

The latest available closing market sale price of the Shares on ASX prior to the date of this Notice of Meeting was $0.415 per Share on 17 August 2023.

(h) Corporate Governance

The Board acknowledges the grant of the Director Performance Rights to the NonExecutive Directors (being Messrs Warburton, Robertson, Traicos and Ward) is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the 4th edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.

The Board considers that the grant of Director Performance Rights to the NonExecutive Directors is reasonable in the circumstances as the proposed issue will further align the interests of the Non-Executive Directors with those of the Shareholders and provide appropriate remuneration for these Directors’ ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company whilst minimising the expenditure of the Company’s cash resources.

(i) Taxation consequences

There are no taxation consequences for the Company arising from the issue of the Director Performance Rights (including fringe benefits tax).

(j) Other information

Neither the Directors nor the Company are aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to the financial benefits contemplated by Resolutions

5.6 Sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act

The Corporations Act restricts the benefits that can be given to persons who hold a “managerial or executive office” (as defined in the Corporations Act) on leaving their employment with the Company or any of its related bodies corporate.

Under sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with them ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office if the benefit is approved by shareholders or an exemption applies.

Amendments to the Corporations Act in 2009 significantly expanded the scope of these provisions and lowered the threshold for termination benefits that do not require shareholder

24

approval. The term “benefit” has a wide meaning and may include benefits resulting from the Board exercising certain discretions under the rules of the Plan, including the discretion to determine the accelerated vesting or automatic vesting of Performance Rights in certain circumstances.

Under the Plan, a participant may become entitled to accelerated vesting or automatic vesting of Performance Rights if there is a change of control of the Company or if the Board exercises its discretion upon cessation of employment. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for Messrs Warburton, Misra, Robertson, Traicos and Ward, to be given any such benefit in connection with their retirement from office or employment with the Company.

The value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the Plan cannot be determined in advance. The value of the benefit will depend on the number of Director Performance Rights that may vest pursuant to the Plan and the market value of the Shares at the time the accelerated vesting or automatic vesting event occurs.

5.7

Listing Rule 10.19

Listing Rule 10.19 provides that without the approval of shareholders, an entity must ensure that no officer of the entity or any of its child entities will be, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the termination benefits that may become payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the entity as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.

The Company is also seeking Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.19. As noted in section 5.6 of this Explanatory Statemen, it is at the discretion of the Board whether the Director Performance Rights issued to the Directors are forfeited by virtue of their resignation.

As noted in section 5.6 of this Explanatory Statemen, the value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the Plan cannot be determined in advance. It is possible that the provision of the benefit associated with the vesting and exercise of the Director Performance Rights in the future may exceed 5% of the equity interests of the Company at the relevant time, although it is unlikely.

5.8

Board Recommendation

The Directors, other than Mr Warburton who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 5, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 on the basis that the grant of the Director Performance Rights will allow the Company to adequately reward and incentivise Mr Warburton in a cost-effective and efficient manner as opposed to alternative forms of incentives (e.g. cash bonuses or increased remuneration).

The Directors, other than Mr Misra who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 6, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 on the basis that the grant of the Director Performance Rights will allow the Company to adequately reward and incentivise Mr Misra in a cost-effective and efficient manner as opposed to alternative forms of incentives (e.g. cash bonuses or increased remuneration).

The Directors, other than Mr Robertson who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 7, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7 on the basis that the grant of the Director Performance Rights will allow the Company to adequately reward and incentivise Mr Robertson in a cost-effective and efficient manner as opposed to alternative forms of incentives (e.g. cash bonuses or increased remuneration).

The Directors, other than Mr Traicos who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 8, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8 on the basis that the grant of the Director Performance Rights will allow the Company to adequately reward and incentivise Mr Traicos in a cost-effective and efficient manner as opposed to alternative forms of incentives (e.g. cash bonuses or increased remuneration).

The Directors, other than Mr Ward who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 9, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9 on the basis that the grant of the Director Performance Rights will allow the Company to adequately reward and

25

incentivise Mr Warburton in a cost-effective and efficient manner as opposed to alternative forms of incentives (e.g. cash bonuses or increased remuneration).

SCHEDULE 4 – MATERIAL TERMS OF THE PLAN

The Company has adopted a long-term incentive plan, the Belararox Limited Long Term Incentive Plan ( Plan ), to enable eligible persons to be granted Options and/or Performance Rights ( Awards ), the material terms of which are summarised below:

These Conditions must be specified in the Offer Letter to Eligible Persons. In the event that a takeover bid for the Company is declared unconditional, there is a change of control in the Company, or if a merger by way of a scheme of arrangement has been approved by a court, then the Board may determine that:

  • (i) all or a percentage of unvested Options will vest and become exercisable;

  • (ii) all or a percentage of Performance Rights will be automatically exercised; and

  • (iii) any Shares issued or transferred to a participant under the Plan that have restrictions (on their disposal, the granting of any security interests in or over, or otherwise on dealing with), will be free from any restrictions on disposal.

  • (d) ( Exercise Period ): The period during which a vested Award may be exercised will commence when all Conditions have been satisfied, waived by the Board, or are deemed to have been satisfied under the rules of the Plan and the Company has issued a Vesting Notification to the participant, and ends on the Expiry Date (as defined at (f)(iv) below).

  • (e) ( Disposal restrictions ): Awards granted under the Plan may not be assigned, transferred, novated, encumbered with a security interest (such as a mortgage, charge, pledge, lien, encumbrance or other third party interest of any nature) over them, or otherwise disposed of by a participant, other than to a nominated party (such as an immediate family member, trustee of a trust or company) in accordance with the Plan, unless:

  • (i) the prior consent of the Board is obtained; or

  • (ii) such assignment or transfer occurs by force of law upon the death of a participant to the participant's legal personal representative.

  • (f) ( Lapse ): Unvested Awards will generally lapse on the earlier of:

  • (i) the cessation of employment, engagement or office of a participant;

  • (ii) the day the Board makes a determination that all unvested Awards and vested Options of the participant will lapse because, in the opinion of the Board the participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or is in material breach of his or her duties or obligations to the Company;

  • (iii) if any applicable Conditions are not achieved by the relevant time;

  • (iv) if the Board determines that any applicable Conditions have not been met and cannot be met prior to the date that is 5 years from the grant date of an Award or any other date determined by the Board and as specified in the Offer ( Expiry Date ); or

  • (v) the Expiry Date.

Where a participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company and is not a “Bad Leaver” (as that term is defined in the Plan), and the Awards have vested, they will remain exercisable until the Awards lapse in accordance with the Plan rules or if they have not vested, the Board will determine as soon as reasonably practicable after the date the participant ceases to be employed or engaged, how many (if any) of those participant’s Awards will be deemed to have vested and exercisable.

36

Where a participant becomes a “Bad Leaver” (as that term is defined in the Plan), all Awards, unvested or vested, will lapse on the date of the cessation of employment, engagement or office of that participant.
