As consideration for its services, the Company has agreed to issue to Euroz (or its nominees) 12,500,000 Options exercisable at $0.12 each and expiring on 31 May 2028 ( Broker Options ), subject to Shareholder approval.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Broker Options to Euroz (or its nominees).

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – ISSUE OF SECURITIES TO VENDORS

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Consideration Securities to the Vendors.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Deferred Consideration Securities to the Vendors.

2.1 Regulatory Requirements

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

The issues of the Consideration Securities and the Deferred Consideration Securities do not fit within any of these exceptions and as they have not yet been approved by Shareholders, they will effectively use up part of the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. This will reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the Consideration Securities and the Deferred Consideration Securities. Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the issues of the Consideration Securities and the Deferred Consideration Securities under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Securities and the issue of the Consideration Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Consideration Securities.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will only be able to proceed with the issue of the Consideration Securities to the extent that the Company has the capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue those securities at the time of the proposed issue.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Deferred Consideration Securities and the issue of the Deferred Consideration Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Deferred Consideration Securities.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will only be able to proceed with the issue of the Deferred Consideration Securities to the extent that the Company has the capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue those securities at the time of the proposed issue.

2.3 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO BROKER

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Broker Options to Euroz (or its nominees).

3.1 Regulatory Requirements

Listing Rule 7.1, subject to specific exceptions, 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Broker Options does not fall within any of the exceptions and as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it will effectively use up part of the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. This will reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the Broker Options. Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Broker Options under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Broker Options and the issue of the Broker Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Broker Options. Further, if all of the Broker Options are issued and exercised before the expiry date, the Company has the potential to raise up to $1,500,000 from the exercise of those Broker Options.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, unless the Company otherwise has the capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options and consequently, the Company will not potentially raise up to $1,500,000 on the exercise of Broker Options.

3.2 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 3:

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

(d) Issue date

The Company anticipates that the Broker Options will be issued on a date shortly following the conclusion of the Meeting, and in any event no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Broker Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Broker Options).

(f) Relevant agreement

3.3 Board Recommendation

4. BACKGROUND – RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 6

Placement

In connection with the proposed acquisition of the Mineralis Shares, the Company has undertaken a placement to sophisticated and professional investors by the issue of 55,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.06 each ( Placement Shares ) to raise $3,300,000 (before costs) ( Placement ).

Tranche 1 of the Placement was settled on 29 August 2025 via the issue of 16,999,043 Placement Shares using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( 7.1 Placement Shares ) and 11,600,957 Placement Shares using the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A ( 7.1A Placement Shares , together with the 7.1 Placement Shares, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares ).

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company proposes to issue up to a further 26,400,000 Placement Shares shortly after the Meeting ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ).

The proceeds of the Placement will be primarily used to fund:

18

  • (a) an initial phase of early exploration programmes across the Côte d’Ivoire projects, including ground mapping, sampling, geophysical and geochemical studies, to generate drill targets;

  • (b) auger drilling and follow-on RC drilling at the Company’s Kpali and Kandia Gold Projects in Ghana; and

  • (c) working capital.

Further information on the Placement can be found at:

https://www.castleminerals.com/announcements.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the 7.1 Placement Shares issued using the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the 7.1A Placement Shares issued using the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

Euroz acted as lead manager to the Placement.

5. RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES (TRANCHE 1)

Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares, that were issued without Shareholder approval using the Company’s capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

5.1 Regulatory Requirements

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, a company must not, subject to specified exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek shareholder approval, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to have the capacity to issue further Equity Securities, in addition to the 15% in Listing Rule 7.1, equal to 10% of the fully paid ordinary securities that the company had on issue at the start of the relevant 12-month period. The Company obtained Shareholder approval for this further 10% at the annual general meeting held on 29 November 2024. Accordingly, the Company’s combined capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A is 25% of the total number of ordinary securities that the Company had on issue at the start of the relevant 12-month period.

The issues of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares do not fit within any of the exceptions and, as they have not yet been approved by Shareholders, the issues effectively use up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities (that was made without shareholder approval) after it has been made or agreed to be made. If shareholders approve the issue under Listing Rule 7.4 and provided the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A (as applicable) and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A at the time of issue.

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 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

19

Accordingly, Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder ratification for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the issue of the 7.1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the 7.1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the issue of the 7.1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the 7.1 Placement Shares.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the issue of the 7.1A Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the 7.1A Placement Shares.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the issue of the 7.1A Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the 7.1A Placement Shares.

5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

6. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT SHARES (TRANCHE 2)

Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Placement participants and the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

6.3 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 .

7. RESOLUTIONS 7 TO 10 - ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS

7.1 Background

It is proposed that the Director Performance Rights will be issued in lieu of directors fees for the financial year ending 30 June 2026.

The key terms and conditions of the Director Performance Rights (including the Performance Milestones to be satisfied) are summarised in Schedule 4.

As Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval is not also required under Listing Rule 7.1. Further, as the issue of the Director Performance Rights is to be made with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14, the issue will not be included in calculating the “cap” on the number of securities the Company can issue under the Plan under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b).

7.2 Regulatory Requirements

  • (c) a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.

The issue of Performance Rights to the Directors and Proposed Directors (who will be Directors at the time of issue) falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 7 to 10 (inclusive) seek the required Shareholder approval to the issue of the Director Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

If any of Resolutions 7 to 10 (inclusive) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Performance Rights the subject of the respective Resolution which is passed.

If any of Resolutions 7 to 10 (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Performance Rights the subject of the respective Resolution which is not passed.

(e)

Material terms of the securities

A summary of the material terms of the Director Performance Rights is included in Schedule 4.

(f)

Explanation and valuation

The Board considers the issue of the Director Performance Rights a cost-effective and efficient means to remunerate and incentivise personnel compared to alternative forms of remuneration. The issue of the Director Performance Rights is consistent with the Company’s objective to incentivise personnel by encouraging improvement in performance of the Company over time, benchmarked against the relevant performance milestones.

The value the Company attributes to the Directors' Performance Rights to be granted to the Directors or Proposed Directors is $299,720 (using a combination of Hoadley’s Barrier1 Model and Hoadley’s Parisian Model model). The value of the Director Performance Rights has been calculated with the following assumptions:

  • (i) underlying share price on the valuation date (1 September 2025) of $0.065;

  • (ii) tested time to vesting/expiry being three years from issue;

  • (iii) a volatility of 115%;

  • (iv) a risk free rate of 3.33%; and

  • (v) for the purpose of the valuation, no future dividend payments have been forecast.

  • (g)

Issue date

The Company proposes to issue the Director Performance Rights to the Directors as soon as possible after the date of the Meeting and in any event within three years of the Meeting. The Director Performance Rights will be issued to the Proposed Directors subject to settlement of the Acquisition, and in any event within three years of the Meeting.

  • (h)

Issue price

The Director Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration and accordingly no funds will be raised from the issue.

  • (i)

Material terms of the Plan

A summary of the material terms of the Plan is included in Schedule 5.

  • (j) Loan

No loans have or will be made by the Company in connection with the proposed issue of the Director Performance Rights.

  • (k)

Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement for Resolutions 7 to 10 (inclusive) is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.

25

Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the Company’s annual report relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan and who were not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.

7.5 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

Each of the Directors on the Board following settlement of the Acquisition will have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 7 to 10 (inclusive) (as applicable to each Director and Proposed Director) in this Notice of Meeting by virtue of the fact that Resolutions 7 to 10 (inclusive) are concerned with the issue of Performance Rights to Directors (and Proposed Directors).

Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act essentially provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a material personal interest are being considered.

In the absence of Shareholder approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at Board meetings necessary to carry out the terms of these Resolutions.

The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue to Shareholders to determine.

7.6

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” to “related parties” by a public company. Chapter 2E 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 the financial benefit.

A “related party” is widely defined under the Corporations Act, and includes the directors of the company. As such, the Directors of the Company (and the Proposed Directors who will be Directors at the time of issue) are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

A “financial benefit” is construed widely and in determining whether a financial benefit is being given, section 229 of the Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. Section 229 of the Corporations Act includes as an example of a financial benefit, the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Performance Rights under Resolutions 7 to 10 (inclusive) constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to a related party.

One of the nominated exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is where the provision of the financial benefit is to remunerate the related party which is reasonable in the circumstances in which it is given.

Given the Directors and Proposed Directors (or their respective nominees) will be receiving the Director Performance Rights in lieu of directors’ fees, the Board is of the view that the issue of the Director Performance Rights pursuant to Resolutions 7 to 10 (inclusive) constitutes the provision of a financial benefit that is reasonable remuneration in the circumstances, and accordingly Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not sought.

7.7 Board Recommendation

The Board has only considered the issue of the Performance Rights under Resolutions 7 to 10 (inclusive) for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, given the fact the Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of the Resolutions. For this reason, the

26

Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders with respect to Resolutions 7 to 10 (inclusive).

8. RESOLUTIONS 11 AND 12 – ISSUE OF SHARES IN LIEU OF DIRECTORS FEES

8.1 Background

Resolutions 11 and 12 seek Shareholder approval to issue Shares to Directors Stephen Stone and Brian Thomas in lieu of directors fees as follows:

  • (a) Stephen Stone: 1,596,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.06 each in lieu of accrued directors fees for the period 1 November 2023 to 31 March 2024 (inclusive); and

  • (b) Brian Thomas: 145,833 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.06 each in lieu of accrued directors fees for the period 1 to 31 July 2025 (inclusive),

( Directors Fees Shares ).

8.2 Regulatory Requirements

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, unless a specified exception applies, a company must not issue or agree to issue securities to a related party without the approval of ordinary shareholders. A “related party”, for the purposes of the Listing Rules, has the meaning given to it in the Corporations Act, and includes the Directors of a company.

As such, Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11 as Resolutions 11 and 12 for the issue of the Directors Fees Shares to the Directors, who are related parties of the Company by virtue of their directorships.

As Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not also required under Listing Rule 7.1.

If either of Resolutions 11 or 12 are passed, the Director (or his respective nominee) that is the subject of the relevant Resolution that is passed will receive the number of Directors Fees Shares for which Shareholder approval was sought.

If either of Resolutions 11 or 12 are not passed, the Director (or his respective nominee) that is the subject of the relevant Resolution that is not passed will not be issued Directors Fees Shares and the Company will have to pay to the Director his directors fees in cash.

8.3 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 11 and 12:

  • (a) Name of person to receive securities

The Shares to be issued under Resolution 11 are to be issued to Mr Stephen Stone (or his nominee).

The Shares to be issued under Resolution 12 are to be issued to Mr Brian Thomas (or his nominee).

  • (b) Nature of relationship between person to receive securities and the Company

Each of Messrs Stone and Thomas is a Director and is, as such, a person who falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1.

  • (c) Maximum number and class of securities to be issued

Mr Stone will receive a maximum of 1,596,000 Shares and Mr Thomas will receive a maximum of 145,833 Shares.

(d) Material terms of the securities

The Directors Fees Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.

27

(e) Issue date

The Company will issue the securities under Resolutions 11 and 12 as soon as possible after the date of the Meeting and in any event within one month of the Meeting.

(f) Issue price or other consideration

The Directors Fees Shares will be issued at a deemed issue price of $0.06 per Share, being the same issue price as Shares to be issued under the Placement.

(g) Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of the funds raised

The Directors Fees Shares are being issued in lieu of salaried cash payments to Mr Stone for the period 1 November 2023 to 31 March 2024 (inclusive) and Mr Thomas for the period 1 to 31 July 2025 (inclusive).

No funds will be raised from the issue.

5. Mr Thomas’ salary consists of $8,750 accrued from in July 2025 which is to be settled in Shares pursuant to Resolution 12 of this Notice.

  • (i)

Relevant agreement

The Directors Fees Shares are being issued on terms agreed between the Company and the Directors, namely that the Directors will receive the Directors Fees Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.06 each (being the same issue price as the Placement Shares) in lieu of cash directors fees accrued in accordance with the terms of their service agreements for the period set out in section 8.1.

(j) Voting exclusion statement

  • A voting exclusion statement for Resolutions 11 and 12 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.

8.4 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

Two of the Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 11 and 12 (as applicable to each Director) in this Notice of Meeting by virtue of the fact that Resolutions 11 and 12 are concerned with the issue of securities to those Directors.

Section 195 of the Corporations Act essentially provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a material personal interest are being considered.

28

In the absence of Shareholder approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at Board meetings necessary to carry out the terms of these Resolutions.

The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue to Shareholders to determine.

8.5 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” to “related parties” by a public company. Chapter 2E 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 the financial benefit.

A “related party” is widely defined under the Corporations Act and includes the directors of the Company. As such, the Directors are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

A “financial benefit” is construed widely and in determining whether a financial benefit is being given, section 229 of the Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. Section 229 of the Corporations Act includes as an example of a financial benefit, the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party. Accordingly, the issue of the securities under Resolutions 11 and 12 constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to a related party.

One of the nominated exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is where the provision of the financial benefit is to remunerate the related party which is reasonable in the circumstances in which it is given.

Given the Directors (or their respective nominees) will be receiving the Directors Fees Shares in lieu of directors’ fees and that the Directors Fees Shares will be issued at an issue price of $0.06 each being the same as the Placement Shares, the Board is of the view that the issue of the Directors Fees Shares pursuant to Resolutions 11 and 12 constitutes the provision of a financial benefit that is remuneration which is reasonable in the circumstances, and accordingly Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not sought.

8.6 Board Recommendation

The Board has only considered the issue of the securities under Resolutions 11 and 12 for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, given the fact the Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of the Resolutions. For this reason, the Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders with respect to Resolutions 11 and 12.

9. RESOLUTION 13 – RENEWAL OF EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN

9.1 Background

Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b), to issue Equity Securities under the Plan for a period of three years from the date of the Meeting.

The purpose of the Plan is to:

  • (a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of eligible participants;

  • (b) link the reward of eligible participants to Shareholder value creation; and

  • (c) align the interests of eligible participants more closely with the interests of Shareholders by providing an opportunity for eligible persons to receive an equity interest in the form of Equity Securities.

29

The purpose of Resolution 13 is to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of Equity Securities under the Plan to utilise Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) whereby if Shareholders approve this Resolution, any issues of Equity Securities under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) will not be included in the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of three years from the date of the Meeting.

9.2 Regulatory Requirements

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, unless an exception applies, a company must not, without prior approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue Equity Securities if the Equity Securities will in themselves, or when aggregated with the Equity Securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that issues of securities under an employee incentive scheme are not included in a company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, if within three years before the date of issue, shareholders have approved the issue of securities thereunder as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Accordingly, Resolution 13 seeks approval from Shareholders for the issue of Equity Securities under the Plan for a period of three years from the date of the Meeting, as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 13 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under the Plan to eligible persons over a period of three years from the date of the Meeting without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue to up 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12-month period.

If Resolution 13 is not passed, subject to issues made with Shareholder approval under other Listing Rules, the issue of Equity Securities under the Plan will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Equity Securities. Accordingly, the Company will not be able to utilise the exception to Listing Rule 7.1 that is provided in Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Equity Securities under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party, is in ASX’s opinion, such that Shareholder approval should be obtained. Any issues made with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 will not be included in calculating the Company’s “cap” under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b), including the issue of the Director Performance Rights.

9.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b):

(a) A summary of the terms of the Plan

A summary of the terms of the Plan is included in Schedule 5.

  • (b) Previous issues under the Plan

The Company has issued the following Equity Securities since adoption of the Plan on 16 November 2022:

(i) 1,200,000 Options exercisable at $0.90 each, which expired on 30 June 2025; and

  • (ii) 366,667 Options exercisable at $0.54 each and expiring on 31 October 2026.

The 5,900,000 Performance Rights the subject of Resolutions 7 to 10 (inclusive) will be issued under the terms of the Plan if approved by Shareholders. As the Performance Rights remain subject to Shareholder approval, they have not been included in the above calculation.

30

(c) Maximum number of securities to be issued

The maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan following Shareholder approval is 8,929,236, being 5% of the number of Shares expected to be on issue following settlement of the Acquisition and the Placement. This number is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of Equity Securities to be issued by the Company, simply a ceiling for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b).

The maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the Plan may be increased with Shareholder approval. Any issues of Equity Securities issued outside of the maximum number of Equity Securities, and issued without Shareholder approval, will be issued using the Company’s existing placement capacity.

(d) Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement for this Resolution is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.

9.4 Board Recommendation

The Board declines to make a recommendation in respect of Resolution 13 due to the fact that the Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution as Equity Securities that may be issued to the Directors under the Plan.

  • (a) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the exercise of an Option may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition.

  • (b) where members of the Company approve any compromise or arrangement for the purpose of, or in connection with, a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other body corporate or bodies corporate (other than a scheme that does not involve a change in the ultimate beneficial ownership of the Company), which will, upon becoming effective, result in any person (either alone or together with its Associates) owning more than fifty per cent (50%) of Issued Capital;

50

  • (c) where a person becomes the legal or the beneficial owner of, or has a Relevant Interest in, more than fifty per cent (50%) of Issued Capital;

  • (d) where a person becomes entitled to acquire, hold or has an equitable interest in more than fifty per cent (50%) of Issued Capital; and

  • (e) where a Takeover Bid is made to acquire more than fifty per cent (50%) of issued Shares (or such lesser number of Shares that when combined with the Shares that the bidder (together with its Associates) already owns will amount to more than 50% of issued Shares) and the Takeover Bid becomes unconditional and the bidder (together with its Associates) has a Relevant Interest in more than 50% of issued Shares,

but, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any internal reorganisation of the structure, business and/or assets of the Group.

Control has the same meaning as in section 50AA of the Corporations Act.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if a Change of Control Event occurs, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's convertible securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the Change of Control Event.

11.

Shares to rank equally

All Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class for the time being on issue except for any rights attaching to the Shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of the allotment or transfer of the Shares.

12. Listing

If Shares are in the same class as Shares which are listed on the ASX, the Company will apply for quotation of the Shares issued (or any unquoted Shares transferred) within the time required by the Listing Rules after the date of allotment.

13. Dividends

A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Shares which, at the closing date for determining entitlement to such dividends, are standing to the account of the Participant.

14. Voting rights

A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Shares held by the Participant.

15. Disposal restriction on Shares

If the Invitation provides that any Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction, including but not limited to imposing an ASX Holding Lock (where applicable) on the Shares.

16. Adjustment of convertible securities

  • (a) Reorganisation : If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding convertible securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

  • (b) Bonus Issue : If Shares are issued by the Company pro rata to shareholders generally by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of convertible securities is entitled, upon exercise of the convertible securities, to receive, in addition to the Shares in respect of which the convertible securities are exercised and without the payment of any further consideration, an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to a shareholder who, on the date for determining entitlements under the bonus issue, held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the convertible securities are exercised.

51

Additional Shares to which the holder of convertible securities becomes so entitled will, as from the time Shares are issued pursuant to the bonus issue and until those additional Shares are allotted, be regarded as Shares in respect of which the convertible securities are exercised for the purposes of subsequent applications of clause 15.2(a), and any adjustments which, after the time just mentioned, are made under clause 15.1 to the number of Shares will also be made to the additional Shares.

  • (c) Rights Issue : Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of convertible securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

17. Trust

The Board may, in its discretion, use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding Shares and Shares before or after the exercise of a convertible security or delivering any Shares arising from exercise of a convertible security under the Plan on such terms and conditions as determined by the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board may do all things necessary for the establishment, administration, operation and funding of an employee share trust.
