EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum 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. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 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.brookside-energy.com.au .

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. 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 annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, 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, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. 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.

4

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.

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 less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR MICHAEL FRY

3.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Mr Michael Fry, who has served as a director since 20 April 2004, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

3.2 Qualifications and experience

Mr Fry holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Western Australia, is a Fellow of the Financial Services Institute of Australasia, and is a past member of the Australian Stock Exchange. Mr Fry has extensive corporate and commercial experience, financial and capital market knowledge and a background in corporate treasury management.

3.3 Other Material Directorships

Mr Fry is currently non-executive chairman of Technology Metals Australia Limited (ASX: TMT).

3.4 Independence

If elected the Board considers Mr Fry will be an independent Director.

3.5 Board Recommendation

The Directors support the re-election of Mr Fry and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES

4.1 General

On 8 April 2021, the Company issued 125,000,000 Shares to The Trust Company (Australia) Limited ( TCA ) in consideration for the acquisition by the

5

Company of TCA’s well-bore interests (and associated PDP Reserves) in the STACK Play in the world class Anadarko Basin in Oklahoma ( TCA Shares ).

The Company issued the Shares the subject of this Resolution on 8 April 2021 ( TCA Shares Issue Date ) without prior Shareholder approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity.

The ratification of the issue of the TCA Shares is sought under Resolution 3 in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.4

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX 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.

The issue of the TCA 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 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the TCA Shares Issue Date.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 will be treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purposes of those Listing Rules if shareholders subsequently approve it and the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and so does not reduce the entity’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that Listing 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 for such issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the 125,000,000 TCA Shares under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the issue of the TCA Shares on the TCA Shares Issue Date will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the TCA Shares Issue Date.

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

4.3 ASX Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements

The following information is provided for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

(a) Number and class of securities issued

6

125,000,000 Shares were issued. The TCA Shares are fully paid ordinary shares and rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s other Shares on issue and are listed on the ASX.

  • (b) The price or other consideration the entity has received or will receive for the issue

No consideration was received for the issue of the TCA Shares as they were issued in consideration for the acquisition by the Company of TCA’s well-bore interests (and associated PDP Reserves) in the STACK Play. The TCA Shares were issued at a deemed issue price of $0.0207 per Share.

  • (c) The date or dates on which the securities were issued

The TCA Shares were issued on 8 April 2021.

  • (d) The name of the persons to whom the entity issued the securities or the basis on which those persons were identified or selected

The TCA Shares were issued to The Trust Company (Australia) Limited, which is not a related party of the Company.

  • (e) The purpose of the issue, including the use (or intended use) of funds raised

No funds were raised from this issue as the Shares were issued in consideration for the acquisition by the Company of TCA’s well-bore interests (and associated PDP Reserves) in the STACK Play.

  • (f) If the securities were or will be issued under an agreement, a summary of any other material terms of the agreement

Under the Company’s agreement with TCA ( Acquisition Agreement ), the Company agreed to acquire all of TCA’s well-bore interests (and associated PDP Reserves) in the STACK Play ( Acquired Interests ) in consideration for the issue by the Company of 125,000,000 Shares to TCA and/or its nominee(s) ( TCA Consideration ). Further details in respect of the Acquisition Agreement and the Acquired Interests are set out in the Company’s ASX announcements of 16 March 2021 and 25 July 2016.

The Company’s wholly owned Oklahoma based subsidiary BRK Oklahoma Holdings, LLC ( BRK Oklahoma ) was, prior to the completion of the acquisition by the Company of the Acquired Interests, a party to a joint venture agreement in respect of the assets the subject of TCA’s Acquired Interests (as announced by the Company on 25 July 2016), with BRK Oklahoma having at the time contributed the well-bore interests to the joint venture and TCA contributing the financing through an interposed entity.

Completion under the Acquisition Agreement was conditional upon TCA terminating relevant agreements to which it was a party in connection with the Acquisition Agreement, including the joint venture agreement in respect of the Acquired Interests, thereby

7

resulting in the Company and BRK Oklahoma together holding the well-bore interests and associated PDP Reserves unencumbered.

Completion under the Acquisition Agreement, and the issue of the TCA Consideration, was also conditional upon and subject to the Company refreshing its capacity to issue securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, thus affording the Company sufficient capacity under that rule to issue the TCA Consideration without Shareholder approval, which was completed at the Company’s general meeting of 1 April 2021.

Under the Acquisition Agreement TCA provided title and corporate warranties ordinarily found in an agreement of its type in connection with the Acquired Interests. TCA agreed that any and all financing agreements in respect of the Acquired Assets would be terminated in advance of completion and the Acquired Assets would be delivered free from any security interests or encumbrances. The Company was entitled to terminate the Acquisition Agreement upon any of those warranties or undertakings being found to be incorrect prior to completion, or upon any other breach of the Acquisition Agreement by TCA.

Having satisfied all other conditions precedent, completion under the Acquisition Agreement took place upon the issue of the TCA Consideration on 8 April 2021.

4.4 Board recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 as it provides the Company with the flexibility to issue, subject to the limits under the ASX Listing Rules, further securities during the next 12 months without Shareholder approval.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

5.1 General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approvals 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.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, however, 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% ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

8

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issued Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 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.

The Equity Securities that may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has two classes of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: BRK) and listed Options exercisable at $0.011 on or before 30 June 2022 (ASX Code: BRKOB).

5.2 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 this Resolution:

(a) Minimum Price

Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per Equity Security which is not less than 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:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders, the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking),

9

( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

(c) Risk of economic and voting dilution

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.

If this Resolution 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.

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 market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 14 April 2021.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) 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 scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are 2,753,113,843 Shares on issue as the date of this Notice.

  2. None of the Options on issue as at the date of this Notice have been exercised into Shares.

  3. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 14 April 2021.

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

10

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. 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%.

  6. 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.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (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

  • (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.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments, continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets and general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity

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

The Company will determine the recipients 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;

11

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

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

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

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

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

(f)

Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 30 July 2020 ( Previous Approval ).

The Company has issued 132,127,313 Shares pursuant to its Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A which represents approximately 10% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant 12 month period on a fully diluted basis. The issue of these Shares pursuant to the Previous Approval was ratified by Shareholders at the Company’s general meeting of 1 April 2021 for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company pursuant to the Previous Approval during the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out below:

(g) 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 must give to ASX:

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

12

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

5.3 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 this Resolution.
