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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.bphenergy.com.au.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – ANTHONY HUSTON

1.1 General

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting each year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director except a Managing Director shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has 3 Directors and accordingly 1 must retire.

Mr Huston, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

1.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Huston has been involved for over 35 years in engineering and hydrocarbon industries for both on and off shore exploration/development. Early career experience commenced with Fitzroy Engineering Ltd, primarily working on development of onshore oil fields. In 1996 Mr Huston formed his own E&P Company on re-entry of onshore wells, primarily targeting shallow pay that had been passed or ignored from previous operations. This was successful and the two plays opened up 15 years ago are still in operation. Recent focus (10 years) has been to utilise new technology for enhanced resource recovery and has been demonstrated in various fields, including US, Mexico, Oman, Italy and Turkmenistan.

During the last 3 years Mr Huston has not held any other listed company directorships.

7

1939-01/2047371_3

1.3 Independence

Mr Huston has no interests, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the board and to act in the best interest of the entity and its security holders generally.

If elected the board considers Mr Huston will be an independent director.

1.4 Board recommendation

The Board supports the re-election of Mr Huston and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted be put to shareholders at a listed company’s annual general meeting. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2018.

The Chair of the Meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if, at consecutive annual general meetings:

  • (a) at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report; and

  • (b) at the first of those annual general meetings a spill resolution was not put to vote,

a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ). If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

8

1939-01/2047371_3

Following the Spill Meeting, those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3

Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were more than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution will be relevant for this Annual General Meeting if at least 25% of the votes cast on the Remuneration Report resolution are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report. Refer to Resolution 3 for further information.

2.4 Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

  • (a) If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member as your proxy: you must direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

  • (b) If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where the Chair is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member): you do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution. However, if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, you must mark the acknowledgement on the Proxy Form to expressly authorise the Chair to exercise his or her discretion in exercising your proxy even though this Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

  • (c) If you appoint any other person as your proxy: you do not need to direct your proxy how to vote on this Resolution, and you do not need to mark any further acknowledgement on the Proxy Form.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – SPILL RESOLUTION (CONTINGENT UPON THE OUTCOME OF RESOLUTION 2)

3.1 General

The Corporations Act requirements for this Resolution to be put to the vote are set out in Section 2.2.

Resolution 3 ( Spill Resolution ) is a contingent Resolution and will only be put to the Annual General Meeting and voted on if 25% or more of the votes cast on Resolution 2 are cast against the adoption of the Remuneration Report, which means the Company receives a “second strike”. If less than 25% of votes cast are against the Remuneration Report at this Annual General Meeting, then there will be no “second strike” and Resolution 3 will not be put to the Annual General Meeting.

If put, the Spill Resolution will be considered as an ordinary resolution. If the Spill Resolution is passed then it will be necessary for the Board to convene a further general meeting of Shareholders ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of this Annual General Meeting in order to consider the composition of the Board .

9

1939-01/2047371_3

3.2 Mechanics of the potential Spill Meeting

  • (a) Shareholders should note the following if the Spill Resolution is approved and a Spill Meeting is required to be held by the Company. All of the Directors who remain in office as Directors at the time of the Spill Meeting and who were in office when the Board resolution to approve the Directors’ Report was passed (but excluding the Managing Director), being Mr Huston and Mr Maling ( Relevant Directors ), will automatically cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting however they may stand for re-election and be re-elected at the Spill Meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes Mr Huston, despite Mr Huston already being subject to election at this Annual General Meeting.

  • (b) No voting exclusions will apply to any resolutions appointing Directors at a Spill Meeting. Accordingly, there is no barrier for any Shareholder exercising their voting rights to support the re-appointment of the existing Directors at the subsequent Spill Meeting. If the Spill Resolution is passed, each of the Relevant Directors intends to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting and if such Spill Meeting is held, may vote its own Shares in support of his reappointment.

  • (c) Shareholders will be able to put forward their own nominees for consideration and potential election at the Spill Meeting.

The Corporations Act requires the Company to have a minimum of three Directors (including at least two Directors who ordinarily reside in Australia). If, following the Spill Meeting, the Company has fewer than three Directors (including the Managing Director), then the persons with the highest percentage of votes in favour of their election at the Spill Meeting are taken to be appointed, even if less than half the votes cast on the Resolution were in favour of their appointment. If two or more persons have the same percentage of votes in favour of their appointment, the other Directors will choose one of those persons as the appointed Director.

3.3 Consequences of voting “for” the Spill Resolution

The impact of the Spill Resolution on the composition of the Board should be considered carefully by Shareholders. If the Spill Resolution is put to the Annual General Meeting and passes:

  • (a) the Company will need to incur expenses (including legal, printing, mail out and registry costs);

  • (b) the Spill Meeting is likely to disrupt the Board and the Company’s focus away from core business operations due to the necessary diversion of resources and time toward organising the Spill Meeting;

  • (c) there will be uncertainty as to the composition and continuity of the Board until the Spill Meeting is held. Such uncertainty may create instability within the Company and may have a negative effect on the Company’s share price, and potentially on its operations; and;

  • (d) it is possible that the Relevant Directors will be re-elected at the Spill Meeting. Shareholders are urged not to vote “for” the Spill Resolution as a mere protest, with no intention of voting against the re-election of the Relevant Directors at the Spill Meeting, given the negative consequences of voting “for” the Spill Resolution set out above.

10

1939-01/2047371_3

3.4 Board recommendation

If Resolution 3 is put to Shareholders and you support your current Directors and wish them to continue as Directors, you should vote against the Spill Resolution (Resolution 3).

If it is required to be put to the Annual General Meeting, the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote AGAINST Resolution 3.

3.5 Proxy voting Restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the voting restrictions applying to Resolution 2 apply in the same manner to this Resolution.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY– SHARES

4.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ) An approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains valid until the earlier of:

  • (a) the date falling 12 months after the date on which the approval is granted; and

  • (b) the date shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (for a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (for a disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $2,372,475.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in Section 4.2 below).

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing 7.1.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 4 for it to be passed.

11

1939-01/2047371_3

4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: BPH).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;

  • less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

  • D is 10%.

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

4.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

4.4

Minimum price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in Section 4.4(a), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

12

1939-01/2047371_3

4.5 Date of issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (a) 12 months after the date of the Meeting; and

  • (b) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (for a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

4.6 Risk of voting dilution

  • (a) Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

  • (b) If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

  • (c) The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

  • (d) The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula at section 4.2 above) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

* The number of Shares on issue (variable ‘A’ in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or Shares issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. This number includes the maximum number of shares that could be issued under the one for one Entitlement Issue Prospectus issued on 30 October 2018 to raise up to $1,186,237 through an issue of up to 1,186,237,417 Shares at a price of $0.001 per Share. The Rights Issue is due to close on 21 November 2018 and the shares proposed to be issued on 27 November 2018.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 31 October 2018.

  2. The issue price set out above of $0.002 is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 31 October 2018.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  6. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  7. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued Share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

14

1939-01/2047371_3

  1. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  2. (e) Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  3. (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  4. (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

4.7 Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:

  • (a) as cash consideration, in which case the Company may use funds raised for its ongoing expenditure requirements in respect of its existing assets (including the Company’s investments in Cortical Dynamics Limited, Molecular Discovery Systems Limited and Advent Energy Ltd), the acquisition of new assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), debt reduction and general working capital; or

  • (b) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments which will complement the Company’s existing projects and add value to the Company’s Shareholders where the directors consider it appropriate to do so, in which case the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

4.8

Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

  • (a) The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

  • (b) The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the Company’s circumstances, including, but not limited to, its financial position and solvency;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

15

1939-01/2047371_3

4.9 Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2017 annual general meeting held on 29 November 2017. In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting, the Company has issued a total of 601,535,400 Equity Securities (representing approximately 99.0% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue as at 29 November 2017), details of which are set out in Schedule 1.

On 30 October 2018 the Company issued an Entitlement Issue Prospectus to raise up to $1,186,237 through an issue of up to 1,186,237,417 Shares at a price of $0.001 per Share. The Rights Issue is due to close on 21 November 2018 and the shares proposed to be issued on 27 November 2018. Details of this share issue are also included in Schedule 1.

4.10 Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will give to ASX:

  • (a) a list of the allottees of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities allotted to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

  • (b) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

4.11 Voting exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 4.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO DIRECTOR FOR SERVICES RENDERED – ANTHONY HUSTON

5.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining shareholder approval, to issue 20,000,000 Shares ( Related Party Shares ) to Anthony Huston (or his nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below.

Resolutions 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Shares to Anthony Huston (or their nominee).

5.2 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:

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

  • (d) 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.

16

1939-01/2047371_3

The grant of the Related Party Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit and Anthony Huston is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Anthony Huston who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E is not required in respect of the issue of the Related Party Shares because the agreement to issue the Related Party Shares, reached as part of the remuneration package for services provided by Anthony Huston, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

5.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

As the issue of Related Party Shares involves the issue of securities to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

5.4 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

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

  • (a) the Related Party Shares will be issued to Anthony Huston (or his nominee);

  • (b) the number of Related Party Shares to be issued is 20,000,000;

  • (c) the Related Party Shares will be granted no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);

  • (d) the Related Party Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised; and

  • (e) the Related Party Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of Related Party Shares as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Shares to the Related Parties (or his nominee) will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Notes:

  1. Market Price means the closing price on ASX (excluding special crossings, overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises). For the purposes of this table the discount is calculated on the Market Price on the last trading day on which a sale was recorded prior to the date of issue of the relevant Equity Securities.

  2. Fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, ASX Code: BPH (terms are set out in the Constitution).

  3. Unquoted Options, exercisable at $0.02 each, on or before 30 November 2022. The full terms and conditions were disclosed in the notice of meeting for the shareholder meeting held on 29 November 2017.

  4. This is a statement of current intentions as at the date of this Notice. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.

  5. In respect of quoted Equity Securities the BPH and MEC Resources Limited values are based on the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 26 October 2018.

  6. In respect of unquoted Equity Securities the value of Options is measured using the Black & Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include the Share price on the measurement date, the exercise price, the term of the Option, the impact of dilution, the expected volatility of the underlying Share (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the Option. No account is taken of any performance conditions included in the terms of the Option other than market based performance conditions (i.e. conditions linked to the price of Shares).

HOW TO COMPLETE THIS SHAREHOLDER PROXY FORM

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND AND VOTE AT THE MEETING, PLEASE BRING THIS FORM WITH YOU. THIS WILL ASSIST IN REGISTERING YOUR ATTENDANCE.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS

Your address as it appears on Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes.

CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES

If a representative of a nominated corporation is to attend the meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” should be produced prior to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.

APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY

If you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman will be your proxy.

SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROXY FORM

Individual:

Where the holding is in one name, the security holder must sign.

Joint Holding:

Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the security holders should sign.

Power of Attorney:

DEFAULT TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING

If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not vote on a poll in accordance with your directions or does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chairman of the Meeting, who is required to vote the proxies as directed.

VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT

You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are able. If you mark more than one box on an item, your vote on that item will be invalid.

PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL

If you wish to appoint a Director (other than the Chairman) or other member of the Company’s key management personnel, or their closely related parties, as your proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Resolution 1, by marking the appropriate box. If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for Resolution 1.

PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy (or if they are appointed by default) but do not direct them how to vote on an item (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that item), you will be expressly authorising the Chairman to vote as they see fit on that item.

APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with Advanced Share Registry, please attach the original or a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies:

Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.

LODGE YOUR VOTE

This Proxy Form (and any power of attorney under which it is signed) must be received at an address given below by 11 am (WST) on Wednesday, 28th November 2018, being not later than 48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting. Proxy Forms received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
