Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the Managing Director (if any).

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF PATRAS SECURITIES

5.1 General

On 16 September 2024, the Company executed the following binding financing agreements with Patras Capital Pte. Ltd (" Patras "):

  • A share placement agreement for the placement of 120 million shares to raise A$1.5 million (“ Share Placement Agreement ”); and

  • A committed equity facility of up to A$10 million through placement tranches of shares in the Company over the next 24 months (" Committed Equity Facility Agreement " or “ Facility ”), where the Company has full discretion to utilise the Facility as well as set the share issue price, determine the amount of funds raised through placement tranches and when the placement of shares will occur under the Facility.

11

A summary of the material terms of the Share Placement Agreement and the Committed Equity Facility Agreement are in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 (respectively).

5.2 Share Placement Agreement

Under the Share Placement Agreement, Celsius has issued 120 million shares (“ Placement Shares ”) to Patras (or its nominee) at an issue price of A$0.0125 per share (“ Placement Price ”) to raise $1.5 million. The Placement proceeds will be paid to the Company as follows:

  • 50% of the Placement proceeds (i.e. $750,000), will be paid on completion; and

  • payment of the remaining 50% (“ Swap Deposit ”) will be deferred until the Trading Day immediately after the relevant Pricing Period (“ Swap Payment Date ”).

On the Swap Payment Date:

  • Patras must pay the Swap Deposit to the Company;

  • where the Adjustment Price (defined below) is positive, Patras must pay the Swap Amount (defined below) to the Company; and

  • where the Adjustment Price is negative, then the Company must pay the Swap Amount to Patras.

The Swap Amount will be calculated as follows:

𝑺 𝑺 𝑨 𝑨 𝑨 = 𝑨𝑨 × 𝑩𝑩

Where:

A = Number of Placement Shares (i.e. 120,000,000).

  • B = Adjustment Price, calculated as the difference between the “Market Price” (being the 10 day VWAP of Celsius shares (as determined by Patras) over the 150 day trading period after completion) minus the “Benchmark Price” (being 115% of the Placement Price).

The Share Placement Agreement has a Swap Close Out clause, where at any time, the Company may give notice to Patras to terminate the Share Placement Agreement, and if such notice is given, within two Trading Days, the Investor may give notice to require the Company to buyback or procure the purchase by a third party of a specified number of the Investor’s Shares (“ Exclusion Notice ”, “ Exclusion Shares ”). The Investor may give notice, at any time, to the Company to terminate the Share Placement Agreement following an unremedied default. If such notice is given, within two Trading Days, the Company must purchase or procure the purchase by a third party of the Exclusion Shares from the Investor at the Benchmark Price, with the amount payable being the Exclusion Shares Payment.

Celsius will pay Patras’s legal fees and expenses of A$30,000 in relation to the Share Placement Agreement and the Committed Equity Facility Agreement.

5.3 Committed Equity Facility Agreement

Celsius is not required to draw down on the Facility and there is no minimum amount contemplated. The Facility enables the Company to conditionally access further capital to fund its project portfolio in the Philippines and the Company’s ongoing working capital. The Facility is structured so that the timing of any or all

drawdowns (and therefore an acceptable issue price of any shares issued under the agreement) are entirely at Celsius’ discretion.

Under the terms of the Facility, Celsius may, at its discretion, place new ordinary shares in the Company with Patras up to a total of A$10 million over the next 24 months. Celsius may draw in tranches of up to A$500,000 at its full discretion, and up to A$3 million with mutual consent, which may be further increased by up to 15% by Patras.

The Facility may be terminated by the Company prior to completion of the twoyear term without penalty, and the Facility does not restrict Celsius obtaining any form, or combination, of equity or debt financing from third parties or any other source.

For each placement under the Facility, Celsius can nominate a price in which it is willing to place shares to Patras (or its nominee) provided it is not below A$0.01 per share (“ Nominated Price ”). The ultimate placement price however shall be 95% of the higher of the Nominated Price, or the “Market Price” (being the 5 day VWAP of Celsius shares (for 5 days nominated by Patras) over the 30 day trading period following the issue of a placement notice to Patras (“ Pricing Period ”)). Patras may reduce the cash amount payable in a tranche requested by Celsius by up to 1/30 for each trading day during the Pricing Period of which the VWAP is equal or less than the Nominated Price.

In addition to the above, Celsius agreed to:

  • Implementation Fee: issue 7,500,000 shares to Patras (or its nominee) in lieu of a cash implementation fee of A$75,000 ( Implementation Fee Shares ).

  • Options: issue 30 million options to Patras (or its nominee) exercisable on or before 3 years from the date of issue at A$0.025 each ( Options ).

  • Security Shares: issue 60,000,000 shares to Patras (or its nominee) prior to the first placement which, upon expiry or termination of the Committed Equity Facility Agreement, will be transferred to the Company’s nominee. The Company’s nominee shall place or sell those shares and deliver the proceeds to the Company ( Security Shares ).

  • Commission : pay a 5% cash commission on each placement tranche under the Facility.

On 30 September 2024, the Company issued the Placement Shares, Implementation Fee Shares and Options (together, the Patras Securities ) using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolutions 5 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Patras Securities.

5.4 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Patras Securities does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing

13

Rule 7.1 and, as they have not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces 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 Patras Securities.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolutions 5 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Patras Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Patras Securities will continue to be included in the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 157,500,000 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Patras Securities.

The Company confirms that Listing Rule 7.1 was not breached at the time the Patras Securities were agreed to be issued.

5.5 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Patras Securities:

6.5 Additional Information

Resolution 6 is an ordinary Resolution.

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

7. RESOLUTION 7 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

7.1 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.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of approximately $30,852,294 based on the closing price of Shares ($0.012) on 14 October 2024.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution to provide the Company with the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 7.2(e) below). The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 7.2(b) below).

For note, a special resolution is a resolution requiring at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote at the meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) in favour of the resolution.

If Resolution 7 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 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

7.2 Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) What Equity Securities can be issued?

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the eligible entity.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue two quoted classes of Equity Securities, being Shares and Options.

(b) How many Equity Securities can be issued?

17

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that under the approved 7.1A Mandate, the Company may issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

  • A = is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the Relevant Period:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the Relevant Period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • (B) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • (I) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

    • (II) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • (I) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

    • (II) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • (D) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid shares in the Relevant Period;

  • (E) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the Relevant Period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4; and

  • (F) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the Relevant Period.

Note that ‘A’ has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity and ‘Relevant Period’ has the relevant meaning given in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.2, namely, the 12 month-period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.

  • D = is 10%.

18

E =

  • is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue, where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

(c) What is the interaction with Listing Rule 7.1?

The Company’s ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will be in addition to its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

(d) At what price can the Equity Securities be issued?

Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per Equity Security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 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 Trading Days of the date in paragraph 7.2(d)(i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,

( Minimum Issue Price ).

(e)

When can Equity Securities be issued?

Shareholder approval of the 7.1A Mandate under Listing Rule 7.1A will be valid from the date of the Meeting and will expire on the earlier of:

  • (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; or

  • (iii) the time and date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( 10% Placement Period ).

  • (f) What is the effect of Resolution 7?

The effect of Resolution 7 will be to allow the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

7.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 7:

  • (a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid

19

The Company will only issue the Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 7.2(e) above).

(b) Minimum price

Where the Company issues Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate, it will only do so for cash consideration and the issue price will be not less than the Minimum Issue Price (refer to Section 7.2(d) above).

  • (c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate

The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for:

  • (i) the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition);

  • (ii) continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets/or projects (funds would then be used for project, feasibility studies and ongoing project administration);

  • (iii) the development of the Company’s current business; and

  • (iv) general working capital.

(d) Risk of economic and voting Dilution

If Resolution 7 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting power in the Company may be diluted as shown in the table below (in the case of convertible Securities, only if the convertible Securities are converted into Shares).

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders based on the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for Variable 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Section 7.2(b) above) as at the date of this Notice ( Variable A ), with:

  • (i) two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

*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 prorata 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 currently 2,571,024,501 Shares on issue.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 14 October 2024 (being $0.012).

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

  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 Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no convertible Securities are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  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. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.

  8. 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%.

  9. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  10. The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

21

(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the date of issue,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate 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 or associates of a related party of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients on a case-by-case basis at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (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, share purchase plan, placement 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 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).

(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 14 November 2023 ( Previous Approval ).

During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 18 November 2023, and as at the date of this Notice, the Company issued 173,219,415 Shares pursuant to the Previous Approval ( Previous Issues ), which represent approximately 6.64% of the total fullydiluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 18 November 2023, which was 2,607,356,577.

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.2 during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out below.

SCHEDULE 1 – SUMMARY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

(a) Subject to these terms and conditions, each Option will entitle the holder to subscribe for one fully paid Share at A$0.025 each (the Exercise Price ).

(b) The Options will expire on 30 September 2027 (the Expiry Date ). Options not exercised on or before the Expiry Date will automatically lapse.

(c) In order to exercise the Options, the holder must, no later than the close of business (Perth time) on the Expiry Date, give written notice to the Company of its intention to exercise the Options in whole or in part, where applicable such notice to be accompanied by certified cheque or proof of electronic transfer with relevant time stamp, payable to the Company in the appropriate amount. After receipt of such notice, the Company must forthwith allot and issue the required number of Shares and before close of business on the third Trading Day following receipt of the notice of exercise in any event.

(d) The holder may request in writing to be allowed to exercise any tranche of Options on a cashless basis. If written consent to cashless exercise is provided by the Company (not to be unreasonably refused or withheld) the holder may specify in an exercise notice that it is exercising the Options on a cashless basis. If the holder does so, then the holder will not be required to pay any money to the Company to exercise the Options, and the Company must forthwith allot and issue Shares to the holder in accordance with the following formula:

N = A/B x (B – C)

Where:

N = number of Shares required to be allotted and issued;

A = the number of Options being exercised;

B = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of the exercise notice; and

C = the Exercise Price.

(e) The holder may exercise the Options on more than one occasion, and the holder exercising some of the Options does not prevent the holder exercising others.

(f) The Company must, immediately after issuing the Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Options:

(i) apply for quotation of the Shares issued;

(ii) subject to clause (g), give ASX notice under s708A(5) of the Corporations Act 2001 in respect of the issue of the Shares that complies with s708A(6) of the Corporations Act 2001 ;

(iii) execute any document and perform any action reasonably necessary to procure that ASX grants quotation of the Shares as soon as possible and within three Trading Days of the date the Shares are issued in any event.

(g) If the Company is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or such a notice for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, Shares issued on exercise of the Options may not be traded until the Company issues a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act. The Company is authorised by the holder to

28

apply a holding lock on the relevant Shares during the period of such restriction from trading.

  • (h) Shares may be issued to a nominee of the holder.

(i) The Options are not transferable except with the prior written approval of the Company at its sole discretion and subject to compliance with the Corporations Act and Listing Rules.

(j) There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital that may be offered to the Company’s shareholders.

(k) Subject to the rights above, holders shall have the right to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to any capital issues to the then existing Company shareholders made during the term of the Options.

(l) In the event of any re-organisation (including reconstruction, consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return of capital) of the issued capital of the Company, the Options will be reorganised as required by the Listing Rules of ASX, but in all other respects the terms of exercise will remain unchanged.

(m) If there is a bonus share issue to the holders of Shares, 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 date for the bonus issue.
