Background

Riverside Marine Acquisition

On 9 February 2026, the Company announced that it entered into a share sale and purchase agreement ( Agreement ) to acquire 100% of Riverside Marine Holdings Pty Ltd ( Riverside Marine ) ( Acquisition ).

Completion of the Acquisition is subject to satisfaction of conditions precedents including receipt of all required shareholder approvals, securing key customer consents to the Acquisition, Bhagwan arranging debt finance and completing the capital raising, probate and estate related approvals, there being no material adverse change in respect to Riverside Marine, and other customary conditions.

Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions precedent, on completion, the Company will pay initial cash consideration of $100 million ( Initial Cash Consideration ) to the Vendors and issue 48,780,488 Shares to the Vendors (and/or their nominee(s)) ( Consideration Shares ). The Consideration Shares will be subject to voluntary escrow (50% escrowed for one year and 50% escrowed for two years) under voluntary escrow agreements. Depending on the adjusted earn-out EBITDA assessed from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026, the Vendors may also be entitled to be paid earn out cash consideration of up to $10 million by Bhagwan.

$30 million of the Initial Cash Consideration will be funded from the equity raising (details below) and the balance of the Initial Cash Consideration will be funded by drawing a 3 year, $70 million facility from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia ( CBA ).

The Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions for an agreement of this nature. For further information on the Acquisition, please refer to the Company's ASX announcements dated 9 February 2026.

Equity Raising

Placement

In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company secured binding commitments to raise $26.2 million (before costs) through a two-tranche placement of 63,916,409 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.41 per Placement Share ( Placement ). The Placement comprises:

  • 40,000,000 Placement Shares issued to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors using the Company's Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity on 17 February 2026 ( Tranche 1 Placement ); and

  • 23,916,409 Placement Shares to be issued to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors, subject to Shareholder approval (which approval is being sought pursuant to Resolution 2) ( Tranche 2 Placement ).

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek the Shareholders' ratification and approval (respectively) of the issue and proposed issue of Placement Shares pursuant to the Tranche 1 Placement and the Tranche 2 Placement (respectively).

Director Placement

In addition to, and concurrently with the Placement, each of the Directors and other related parties of Bhagwan have committed to subscribe for up to a total of 9,254,323 Shares on the same terms as the Placement Shares ( Director Shares ), raising a further $3.8 million (before costs) ( Director Placement ).

Resolutions 3 to 7 (inclusive) seek the Shareholders' approval of the proposed issue of Director Shares pursuant to the Director Placement.

Resolution 1 - Ratify Issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares

As detailed above, the Company issued 40,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.41 per Placement Share under the Tranche 1 Placement ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ).

The 40,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 17 February 2026 without Shareholder approval pursuant to the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification and approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 (and for all other purposes) of the issue of 40,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Listing Rule 7.1

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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period ( 15% Placement Capacity ).

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that if the Company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of Equity Securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those Equity Securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, thereby 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 issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity 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 issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information in relation to Resolution 1 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5.

  • 40,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors identified by Euroz Hartleys Limited and Shaw and Partners Limited ( Joint Lead Managers ). No investor under the Tranche 1 Placement was a related party of the Company, a member of the Key Management Personnel, a substantial shareholder of the Company (other than Gerald Harvey and Velrosso Pty Ltd), or an adviser of the Company or an associate of any of those persons.

  • The Tranche 1 Placement Shares comprised the issue of 40,000,000 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1.

  • The Tranche 1 Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares.

  • The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.41 per Placement Share, raising a total of $16.4 million.

  • The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 17 February 2026.

  • Funds raised from the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares are intended to be used as detailed in the Background section above.

  • The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to placement confirmation letters pursuant to which institutional, sophisticated and professional investors agreed to participate in the Tranche 1 Placement.

  • A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 1.

Board Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

==> picture [48 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, following completion of the Acquisition and subject to each of the Resolutions being approved, Mr Anthony Wooles is expected to hold a relevant interest of approximately 6.29% in the Company (at the date of this Explanatory Statement he holds a relevant interest of 7.42%), and Mr Loui Kannikoski is expected to hold a relevant interest of approximately 30.12% in the Company (at the date of this Explanatory Statement he holds a relevant interest of 35.63%). Please note that these figures are subject to change in the ordinary course and Shareholders are referred to the Company's ASX announcements platform for information relating to substantial shareholdings in the Company.

The issues of the Director Shares do not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 10.11 and are therefore conditional upon Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to Resolutions 3 to 7 (inclusive).

Resolutions 3 to 7 (inclusive) are ordinary resolutions.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 3 to 7 (inclusive).

Listing Rule 10.11

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;

  • b) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • c) a person who is, or was at any time in the six 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;

  • d) an associate of a person referred to in a) to c); or

  • e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in a) to d) is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains shareholder approval.

If Resolutions 3 to 7 (inclusive) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Shares to the relevant Director Placement Participant (and/or their nominee(s)) and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), the issue of the relevant

Director Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 3 to 7 (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Shares to the relevant Director Placement Participant (and/or their nominee(s)), and the Company will not be able to raise funds from issuing Director Shares to that Director Placement Participant and may seek to raise them from alternate investors.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Director Placement will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Director Placement Participants are related parties of the Company.

The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Director Placement because the Director Shares will be issued to Director Placement Participants on the same terms as the Placement Shares issued to nonrelated party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.

Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

The following information in relation to Resolutions 3 to 7 (inclusive) is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13.

  • a) The Director Shares pursuant to the Director Placement will be issued to:

In the event that the Director Shares are issued to nominees of the Director Placement Participants, those persons will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4.

Board Recommendation

Resolution 9 - Approve Provision of Financial Assistance

As a result of the Acquisition, the Company will acquire the following entities:

  • Riverside Marine;

  • Fourtrees Pty Ltd;

  • Riverside Industrial Sands Pty Ltd;

  • Riverside Marine Townsville Pty Ltd;

  • Riverside Oceanic Pty Ltd;

  • Rivtow Marine Pty Ltd; and

  • Rivtow Marine Queensland Pty Ltd,

each a Target Entity and together the Target Entities . After completion of the Acquisition, the Target Entities will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

The Company and CBA, among others, are parties to the Facility Agreement under which various credit facilities are made available to the Company to assist in funding its general working capital requirements and corporate purposes.

As part of the arrangements for the Acquisition, the Company has requested CBA to include, and CBA has credit approval to include, an additional $70 million cash advance facility in the Facility Agreement under which the Company may, subject to customary terms and conditions, draw

BHAGWAN MARINE LIMITED NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

13

==> picture [48 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

funds to assist the Company to pay a portion of the initial purchase price under the Agreement.

The variations to the Facility Agreement are currently in the process of being documented and agreed between CBA and the Company. Any references to the Facility Agreement hereon will be a reference to the Facility Agreement as so varied.

Under the Facility Agreement, the Company will, within an agreed period of time after completion of the Acquisition and subject to relevant approvals being obtained in accordance with section 260B of the Corporations Act, be obliged to ensure that (among other things) each Target Entity:

  • accedes to the Facility Agreement as an additional guarantor; and

  • grants security over all of its present and afteracquired property in favour of CBA,

to guarantee and secure the obligations of the Company and its applicable subsidiaries to CBA under the Facility Agreement and related documents.

If the Target Entities accede to the Facility Agreement as additional guarantors and grant the security as described above, it would constitute (for the purposes of the Corporations Act) the provision of "financial assistance" to the Company for the Acquisition.

The Company is therefore seeking the approval of the Company's shareholders to the provision of that financial assistance under section 260B(2) of the Corporations Act because the Company is a listed Australian company and will be the holding company of the Target Entities after completion of the Acquisition.

The financial assistance and approvals mentioned above is outlined in more detail below.

Resolution 9 is a special resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 9.

Restrictions on companies providing financial assistance and relevance to the Company

Under section 260A(1) of the Corporations Act, a company may financially assist a person to acquire shares in the company or a holding company of the company only if:

  • giving the assistance does not materially prejudice:

  • the interests of the company or its shareholders; or

  • the company's ability to pay its creditors; or

  • the assistance is approved by the company's shareholders under section 260B; or

  • the assistance is exempted under section 260C.

Under section 260B(1) of the Corporations Act, shareholder approval for financial assistance by a company must be given by:

  • a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the company (with no votes being cast in favour of the resolution by the person acquiring the shares); or

  • a resolution agreed to, at a general meeting, by all ordinary shareholders of the company.

Under section 260B(2) of the Corporations Act, if immediately after the acquisition, the company will be a subsidiary of a listed Australian company, the financial assistance must also be approved by a special resolution passed at a general meeting of that listed Australian company.

A company may be regarded as providing financial assistance if it furnishes something needed in order that a transaction be carried out or something in the nature of aid or help. The term "financial assistance" is not defined in the Corporations Act and requires an examination of the commercial realities of the relevant transaction. Common examples of financial assistance include issuing a debenture, giving security over the company's assets, and giving a guarantee or indemnity in respect of another person's liability.

What may be regarded as giving financial assistance to be given by each Target Entity for the purpose of, or in connection with, the Acquisition is outlined below under the heading 'The Proposed Financial Assistance' ( Proposed Financial Assistance ).

As each Target Entity will, immediately after completion of the Acquisition, be a subsidiary of the Company (which is a listed Australian company), the Company is seeking the approval of its shareholders to the provision of the Proposed Financial Assistance by each Target Entity, in order to satisfy the requirements of section 260B(2) of the Corporations Act.

After completion of the Acquisition, the Company will separately cause each Target Entity to seek the approval of its shareholders to the provision of the Proposed Financial Assistance in order to satisfy the requirements of section 260B(1) of the Corporations Act.

BHAGWAN MARINE LIMITED NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

14

==> picture [48 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

The Proposed Financial Assistance

Under the Facility Agreement, the Company will be obliged to cause each Target Entity to enter into the following documents within an agreed period of time after completion of the Acquisition and after all approvals under section 260B of the Corporations Act have been obtained:

  • an accession letter under which, among other things, each Target Entity agrees to become a party to, and bound by the terms of the Facility Agreement as an additional guarantor;

  • a general security deed under which, among other things, each Target Entity grants a security interest over all of its assets in favour of CBA and which will secure moneys owing under the Facility Agreement and related documents from time to time; and

  • any other document ancillary to, or in connection with, the above documents or the Facility Agreement and any guarantee, indemnity or security interest given in connection with, or ancillary to, the Facility Agreement, and any related document from time to time,

(each a Finance Document and together the Finance Documents ).

The entry into the Finance Documents by each Target Entity and performing obligations under the Finance Documents by each Target Entity would constitute financial assistance within the meaning of section 260A of the Corporations Act in so far as it assists the Company to acquire shares under the Acquisition.

The Target Entities may (directly or indirectly) make available cash flow or other assets to the Company to assist the Company or its subsidiaries to:

  • comply with its obligations under the Facility Agreement and related documents; and

  • assist the Company to comply with its deferred payment obligations under the Agreement,

each of which may also constitute financial assistance within the meaning of the section 260A of the Corporations Act.

Effect of the financial assistance

The Proposed Financial Assistance may affect each Target Entity's ability to borrow money in the future, and it is possible that this could materially prejudice the interests of that Target Entity and its shareholders. This is because a lender may be deterred by the existence of the Facility

Agreement and the Finance Documents from making finance facilities available to that Target Entity.

However, the Company, as the proposed new ultimate parent entity of the Target Entities, participated in the negotiations relating to the acquisition of the shares, including in relation to the Target Entities entering into the Finance Documents, and agrees to the provision of the Proposed Financial Assistance because the Company believes that to be in the best interests of the Company and the Target Entities as a whole.

The assessment of material prejudice embraces the whole transaction and has quantitative and qualitative elements.

The quantitative element involves an assessment of the effect of the Proposed Financial Assistance on each Target Entity's balance sheet, future profits and future cash flows. The prejudice to each Target Entity's ability to pay its creditors relates to the guarantees, indemnities and security interests to be provided by each Target Entity in connection with the Facility Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it.

If the Company or another obligor defaults under the Facility Agreement, CBA may decide to make a demand for payments by calling on a guarantee and indemnity given by a Target Entity. CBA could also enforce a security given by a Target Entity by appointing a receiver to it or selling its assets.

The qualitative aspect requires an assessment of all the interlocking elements of the commercial transaction as a whole to determine where the net balance of financial advantage lies. The Directors consider that the acquisition of the shares by the Company under the Agreement is to the benefit of each Target Entity and promotes its interests. This is on the basis that the Target Entities will inherit a committed single shareholder (being the Company) who will be focused on the performance of each Target Entity and its business.

The Directors do not currently have any reason to believe that any default under the Facility Agreement is likely to occur or is continuing.

However, if CBA becomes entitled to enforce any of its rights under the Facility Agreement and the Finance Documents because of a default, the enforcement may materially prejudice the interests of each Target Entity or its shareholders. For example, on enforcement, among other rights, CBA could become entitled to procure the sale of the assets of each Target Entity. The sale of assets on enforcement may ultimately materially prejudice the interests of that Target Entity (and ultimately the Company

BHAGWAN MARINE LIMITED NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

15

==> picture [48 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

and its shareholders) if the sale price achieved on enforcement is significantly lower than what could have been achieved by that Target Entity had those assets been sold in the ordinary course of business (while noting that any such sale must still nevertheless be on arm's length terms and is subject to common law duties to achieve a reasonable price).

Because of the potential for material prejudice as set out above within the meaning of section 260A of the Corporations Act, the Directors have decided to refer the Proposed Financial Assistance to shareholders for approval under section 260B(2) of the Corporations Act.

Equity Securities means a Share, a right to a Share or Option, an Option, a convertible security and any security that ASX decides to classify as an Equity Security, including those issued under the Incentive Awards Plan.

Facility Agreement means the facility agreement dated 20 December 2024 between, among others, the Company as borrower and CBA as lender.

Key Management Personnel means those persons named in the Company’s 2025 Remuneration Report, who have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise).

Listing Rules means the official listing rules of ASX.

Board Recommendation

The Board has approved the statements in this Notice and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9, for the reasons set out above and because the Proposed Financial Assistance is for the benefit of the Company and the Target Entities and is necessary to effect completion under the Agreement.

The Board considers that this Notice contains all material information known to the Company that could reasonably be required by a Shareholder in deciding how to vote on this Resolution other than information that would be unreasonable to require the Company to disclose because the Company has previously disclosed that information to Shareholders.
