BLZ - NOM (2024 Options Issue) (Final - Despatch Version) (04 06 24)(3447960.10)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS

1.1 Priority Offer

As announced on 3 May 2024 and 29 May 2024, the Company’s BLZOB class of quoted Options ( BLZOB Options ) expired on 31 May 2024 ( Expiry Date ).

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company is proposing to issue up to 213,689,655 Options exercisable at $0.01 expiring on 31 December 2027 ( New Options ) to all Australian and New Zealand resident holders of the BLZOB Options ( Eligible Participants ) on the basis of 20 New Options for every 29 BLZOB Options held by Eligible Participants on the Expiry Date at an issue price of $0.0005 per New Option ( Priority Offer ).

The Company anticipates lodging a prospectus with ASIC in relation to the Priority Offer prior the date of the Meeting ( Prospectus ).

The number of New Options to be offered includes an aggregate of 36,310,345 New Options to be issued to Mathew Walker, David Prentice and Simon Coxhell (or their nominees) ( Related Parties ) for which Shareholder approval is separately sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 pursuant to Resolutions 2 to 4.

The purpose of the issue of the New Options is to enable the holders of the BLZOB Options to continue to participate in the ongoing development of the Company.

To the extent that the Priority Offer is not fully subscribed by Eligible Participants, it is proposed that remaining New Options will be placed to unrelated parties of the Company (who are not persons listed in ASX Listing Rule 10.11) at the discretion of the Directors.

1.2 Director Offer

The Company proposes to issue Director Mathew Walker 25,000,000 Options on the same terms as the New Options ( Director Options ) in addition to the New Options issued to him under the Priority Offer ( Director Offer ). The Director Offer will be made under the Prospectus.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Options pursuant to Resolution 5 below.

2. RESOLUTION 1 - ISSUE OF NEW OPTIONS UNDER THE PRIORITY OFFER

2.1 General

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 to issue 213,689,655 New Options to unrelated Eligible Participants ( Unrelated Parties ) under the Priority Offer.

6

BLZ - NOM (2024 Options Issue) (Final - Despatch Version) (04 06 24)(3447960.10)

2.2 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 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 24 November 2023.

The proposed issue of the New Options to the Unrelated Parties under the Priority Offer does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2. While the issue does not exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and can therefore be made without breaching that rule, the Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 so that it does not use up any of its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

2.3

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the New Options to the Unrelated Parties. In addition, the issue of the New Options to the Unrelated Parties 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 Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the New Options to Unrelated Parties and the Unrelated Parties will not be issued any New Options in replacement for their existing BLZOB Options.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (a) the New Options will be issued to the Unrelated Parties. Any New Options not subscribed for by Eligible Participants will be placed to unrelated parties of the Company (who are not persons listed in ASX Listing Rule 10.11) at the discretion of the Directors;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) the maximum number of New Options to be issued to the Unrelated Parties is 213,689,655 New Options under Resolution 1;

7

BLZ - NOM (2024 Options Issue) (Final - Despatch Version) (04 06 24)(3447960.10)

  • (d) the terms and conditions of the New Options to be issued to the Unrelated Parties are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the New Options to be issued to the Unrelated Parties will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the New Options to the Unrelated Parties will occur on the same date;

  • (f) the issue price of the New Options to be issued to the Unrelated Parties will be $0.0005 per New Option. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the New Options to be issued to the Unrelated Parties (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of these New Options);

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the New Options to the Unrelated Parties is to enable the Unrelated Parties to continue to participate in the ongoing development of the Company and raise approximately $106,845 to be applied towards general working capital of the Company; and

  • (h) the New Options are not being issued to the Unrelated Parties under an agreement. Any New Options not subscribed for by Eligible Participants will be placed to unrelated parties of the Company (who are not persons listed in ASX Listing Rule 10.11) at the discretion of the Directors and will also not be issued under an agreement;

  • (i) the New Options to be issued to the Unrelated Parties are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover; and

  • (j) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 1 of the Notice.

3. RESOLUTIONS 2 TO 4 – PARTICIPATION OF RELATED PARTIES IN THE PRIORITY OFFER

3.1 General

As set out in Section 1.1, the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue an aggregate of 36,310,345 New Options to the Related Parties under the Priority Offer on the terms and conditions set out below.

Resolutions 2 to 4 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the New Options to the Related Parties.

3.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) 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.

8

BLZ - NOM (2024 Options Issue) (Final - Despatch Version) (04 06 24)(3447960.10)

The issue of New Options to the Related Parties under the Priority Offer constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

In respect of Resolution 2, the Directors (other than Mr Walker who has a material personal interest in Resolution 2) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 2 because the New Options issued to Mr Walker will be issued on the same terms as the New Options issued to the Unrelated Parties under the Priority Offer and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

In respect of Resolution 3, the Directors (other than Mr Prentice who has a material personal interest in Resolution 3) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 3 because the New Options issued to Mr Prentice will be issued on the same terms as the New Options issued to the Unrelated Parties under the Priority Offer and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

In respect of Resolution 4, the Directors (other than Mr Coxhell who has a material personal interest in Resolution 4) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 4 because the New Options issued to Mr Coxhell will be issued on the same terms as the New Options issued to the Unrelated Parties under the Priority Offer and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

3.3 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:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 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;

  • 10.11.3 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;

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

  • 10.11.5 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,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of New Options to the Related Parties under the Priority Offer falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 2 to 4 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the New Options to the Related Parties under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

9

BLZ - NOM (2024 Options Issue) (Final - Despatch Version) (04 06 24)(3447960.10)

3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

Subject to the passing of Resolution 1, if Resolutions 2 to 4 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the New Options to the Related Parties within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the New Options to the Related Parties (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 2 to 4 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the New Options to the Related Parties and the Related Parties will not be issued any New Options in replacement for their existing BLZOB Options.

Resolutions 2 to 4 are conditional on Resolution 1 also being passed. Therefore, if Resolution 1 is not passed, the Board will not be able to proceed with the issue of New Options to the Related Parties under Resolutions 2 to 4.

3.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 2 to 4:

10

BLZ - NOM (2024 Options Issue) (Final - Despatch Version) (04 06 24)(3447960.10)

  • (e) the issue price of the New Options to be issued to the Related Parties will be $0.0005 per New Option.

4. RESOLUTION 5– ISSUE OF DIRECTOR OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES

4.1 General

As set out in Section 1.2 above, the Company intends to issue Mathew Walker the Director Options under the Director Offer in addition to the New Options to be issued to him under the Priority Offer.

Accordingly, Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to a total of 25,000,000 Director Options to Mathew Walker (or his nominees), as a result of the Director Offer on the terms set out below.

4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in 3.2 above.

The Director Offer will result in the issue of Director Options which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mathew Walker is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Board (other than Mr Walker who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Director Options under the Director Offer because the agreement to issue the Director Options was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

4.3

Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 3.3 above.

The Director Offer falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the Director Offer under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

11

BLZ - NOM (2024 Options Issue) (Final - Despatch Version) (04 06 24)(3447960.10)

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options under the Director Offer within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Options in respect of the Director Offer (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options under the Director Offer.

4.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:
