FYI RESOURCES LIMITED ACN 061 289 218

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in this Notice.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.

In accordance with amendments to the Corporations Act the Company is no longer required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy. Shareholders may view the Company annual financial report on its website at www.fyiresources.com.au.

Shareholders will be offered the following opportunities:

  • (a) discuss the Annual Financial Report for the financial period ended 30 June 2022;

  • (b) ask questions and make comment on the management of the Company;

  • (c) ask questions about, or make comment on, the Remuneration Report;

  • (d) ask the auditor questions about:

  • (ii) the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report;

  • (iii) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • (iv) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company, or to the Company’s auditor about:

  • (a) the content of the Auditor’s Report; and

  • (b) the conduct of the audit of the Financial Report,

may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company’s registered office.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

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.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders should note that the vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or the Directors.

2.2 Voting consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders

FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

8

will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a "Spill Resolution") that another general meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election.

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.

2.4 Proxy voting restrictions

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) or any Closely Related Party as your proxy to vote on this Resolution 1, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote . Where you do not direct such a person on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to Resolution 1.

If you appoint the Chair as your proxy, and you do not direct the Chair on how to vote on this Resolution 1, then by signing and returning the proxy form you are giving express authorisation for the Chair to vote all undirected proxies FOR Resolution 1 even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – EDMUND BABINGTON

Rule 7.3 of the Constitution requires that at each annual general meeting, one-third of directors for the time being (rounded down to the nearest whole number) shall retire from office and that a Director that so retires is eligible for re-election. Additionally, Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a Director must retire from office no later than the longer of the third annual general meeting of the Company or 3 years following that Director's last election or appointment. The retirement rules do not apply to the managing director.

Pursuant to rule 7.3 of the Company’s Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4, Mr Babington, being a Director of the Company, retires by way of rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for reelection as a Director of the Company.

Mr Babington was appointed a director of the Company on 1 July 2014 and was last re-elected as a director on 29 November 2019.

Mr Babington is a director of WA commercial law firm, Lyons Babington Lawyers, is a member of the Resources and Energy Law Association Ltd and is a WA committee member of the Australian Institute of Business Brokers. He is experienced in commercial law, mining and resources, and corporations law in particular relating to capital raisings, stock exchange requirements, corporate governance and compliance.

Mr Babington is Non-Executive Chairman of the Company. The Board considers that Mr Babington is an independent Director.

The Directors (apart from Mr Babington) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the reelection of Mr Babington.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% CAPACITY

4.1 General

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.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval form 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%.

FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

9

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.

This Resolution seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without shareholder approval.

If this Resolution 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 this Resolution 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 in issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 Information for Shareholders as required by Listing Rule 7.3A

  • (i) Period for which approval is valid

An approval under Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:

  • (a) The date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained.

  • (b) The time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting.

  • (c) The time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2.

  • (ii) Minimum price at which equity securities may be issued

Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be in an existing quoted class of the eligible entity's equity securities and issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in that class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (a) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or

  • (b) if the securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the securities are issued.

(iii) Purposes for which funds raised may be used

Equity securities can only be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A for a cash consideration. Funds raised by the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used for the continued development of the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or other investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), and for general working capital.

  • (iv) Risk of economic and voting dilution

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted.

There is a risk that:

  • (a) the market price for the equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for variable "A" in the formula in Listing Rule

7.1A.2. This includes one example that assumes that "A" is double the number of Shares on issue at the time of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and that the price of Shares has fallen by 50%.

*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 has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  1. The current Shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 14 October 2022.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 14 October 2022.

  3. The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the additional 10% capacity.

  4. No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the equity securities.

  5. (v) Allocation Policy

The Company's allocation policy for the issue of equity securities under the additional 10% capacity will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (a) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, a rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (b) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;

  • (c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

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

The allottees under the additional 10% capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company and may include new

FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

11

investors who have not previously been Shareholders.

(vi) Equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the previous 12 months

The Company has not issued or agreed to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding this Meeting.

(vii) Voting Exclusion Statement

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the equity securities. No existing shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

5. RESOLUTIONS 4, 5, 6 AND 7 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES

The Board consists of Edmund Babington (Non-Executive Chair), Roland Hill (Managing Director), David Sargeant (Non-Executive Director) and Dr Sandy Chong (Non-Executive Director).

Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 seek Shareholder approval so that the Company may grant Options to each of the Directors Messrs Babington, Hill and Sargeant and to Dr Chong. The approval to grant Options to Mr Babington (Resolution 5) is conditional on his re-election as a Director (Resolution 2).

Shareholder approval is required for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act (section 208) and Listing Rule 10.11 because each of the Directors is a related party of the Company. Each of Chapter 2E and Listing Rule 10.11 are dealt with separately below.

5.1 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act – Related Party Transactions

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

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

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

For the purposes of Chapter 2E, each of the Directors is a related party of the Company.

The issue of Options to a related party is a financial benefit requiring shareholder approval in the absence of a specified exception applying.

The following information is provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7.

(a) The Related Party to whom the Proposed Resolutions would permit the Financial Benefit to be given

The related parties are Roland Hill (Resolution 4), Edmund Babington (Resolution 5), David Sargeant (Resolution 6) and Sandy Chong (Resolution 7) or their nominees.

(b) The Nature of the Financial Benefit

The proposed financial benefit to be given is the grant of up to:

  • i. 1,000,000 Options to Roland Hill (or his nominee);

  • ii. 750,000 Options to Edmund Babington (or his nominee);

  • iii. 750,000 Options to David Sargeant (or his nominee) and

  • iv. 500,000 Options to Sandy Chong (or her nominee).

The terms of the Options are set out in Schedule 1.

(c) Directors Recommendation and Basis of Financial Benefit

The Board currently consists of Edmund Babington, Roland Hill, David Sargeant and Sandy Chong.

FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

12

By Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 the Company is proposing to grant Options to each of the Directors. In each case, the number of Options to be granted and the terms of the Options were negotiated by the Directors independent of the particular Director to be granted the Options.

The purpose of the Options is to provide each Director with added incentive to achieve the goals set by the Board and to add Shareholder value. The Options are to be issued as part of each Director's remuneration package.

The Directors independent of the particular Director to be issued the Options in each case consider that the quantity of Options together with the terms of the Options in each case constitute an appropriate number to adequately incentivise the Director in light of that Director's skill and experience and their current remuneration as detailed below.

The independent Directors in each case recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions.

Mr Roland Hill abstains from making a recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 4 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome as the recipient of the Options.

Mr Edmund Babington abstains from making a recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 5 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome as the recipient of the Options.

Mr David Sargeant abstains from making a recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 6 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome as the recipient of the Options.

Dr Sandy Chong abstains from making a recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 7 as she has a material personal interest in the outcome as the recipient of the Options.

(d) Dilution

The passing of Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 would have the effect of granting up to 3,000,000 Options.

If any of the Options are exercised into Shares, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of existing Shareholders. If all the 3,000,000 Options were exercised into Shares, the effect would be to dilute the shareholding of the existing Shareholders by approximately 0.81% based on the total number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice being 365,867,589.

The actual dilution will depend on the extent of further equity raised by the Company and whether any Options are exercised.

(e) Total Remuneration Package of Related Parties

The remuneration received by Roland Hill (or his nominee) is $360,000 per annum as Managing Director.

The remuneration received by Edmund Babington is $80,000 per annum as a Non-Executive Chairman’s fee plus any statutory superannuation entitlement.

The remuneration received by David Sargeant (or his nominee) is $50,000 per annum as a

Director's fee.

The remuneration received by Sandy Chong is $50,000 per annum as a Director's fee plus any statutory superannuation entitlement

(f) Existing Relevant Interests

(h) Valuation of Options

The Options will not be quoted on ASX.

The Company has valued the Options to be granted to the Directors or their nominees using the Black-Scholes method.

The following assumptions have been made regarding the inputs required for the option pricing module:

Input Note
Number of Options to related parties 3,000,000

Exercise price assumed23.1cents 2
Dividend rate Nil 3
Volatilityrate 94.4% 4
Risk free rate 3.34% 5
Expiry Date 13 October 2024 6

Note 1 The underlying security spot price used for the purposes of this valuation is based on the closing price of Shares on the valuation date of 14 October 2022 which was 16.5 cents.

Note 2

The exercise price is 140% of the volume weighted average closing price for the 5 days on which Shares trade prior to date of this Meeting. This example uses 140% of the closing price of Shares on the valuation date of 14 October 2022.

FYI Resources Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statement

14

Note 3 No dividends are expected to be paid during the life of the Options.

Note 4

A volatility rate of 94.4% has been adopted. This rate has been calculated by reference to the closing price volatility for the Shares of the Company for the previous 2 years.

Note 5 The risk-free rate is 3.34% based on the 2 year Reserve Bank Treasury Bond rate at 14 October 2022.

Note 6 The Options expiry date is 2 years from the date of the shareholder meeting. For the purposes of this Notice the expiry date is 2 years from the valuation date being 13 October 2024.

Based on the above assumptions the Options proposed to be issued to Directors have been valued as follows:

Roland Hill 1,000,000 Options – 7.05 cents per Option (total value - $70,500)
Edmund Babington 750,000 Options – 7.05 cents per Option (total value - $52,875)

SCHEDULE 1

TERMS OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS (RESOLUTIONS 4, 5, 6 and 7)

  1. Each Option entitles the holder to one Share.

  2. The Options are exercisable at any time prior to 5.00 pm Western Standard Time two years after the date of the Meeting (" Expiry Date "). An Option not exercised before the Expiry Date will automatically lapse on the Expiry Date.

  3. The exercise price of the Options is 140% of the volume weighted average price for the 5 days on which Shares trade prior to the date of the Meeting.

  4. The Options will not be listed on ASX and may only be transferred with the consent of the Board of the Company.

  5. The Company will provide to each Option holder a notice that is to be completed when exercising the Options (" Notice of Exercise "). The Options may be exercised wholly or in part by completing the Notice of Exercise and delivering it together with payment to the secretary of the Company to be received any time prior to the Expiry Date (" Exercise Date ").

  6. Within 15 Business Days after the later of the following:

  7. (i) the Exercise Date; and

  8. (ii) when excluded information in respect to the Company (as defined in section 708A(7) of the Corporations Act) (if any) ceases to be excluded information,

but in any case no later than 20 Business Days after the Exercise Date, the Company will:

  • (iii) allot and issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Options specified in the Notice of Exercise and for which cleared funds have been received by the Company; and

  • (iv) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options.

  • Shares issued on the exercise of the Options rank equally with the then issued Shares.

  • There will be no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and the holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital which may be offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will ensure that for the purposes of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least 7 business days after the issue is announced. This will give Optionholders the opportunity (where Options have vested, if applicable) to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  • If there is a bonus issue (" Bonus Issue ") to Shareholders, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the Bonus Issue (" Bonus Shares "). The Bonus Shares must be paid up by the Company out of profits or reserves (as the case may be) in the same manner as was applied in the Bonus Issue, and upon issue will rank equally in all respects with the other Shares on issue as at the date of issue of the Bonus Shares.

  • In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company prior to the Expiry Date, all rights of an Optionholder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Listing Rules.
