2.4 Voting by proxy

Shareholders are encouraged to vote by completing a Proxy Form.

A Proxy Form is made available with this Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a 'proxy') to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon.

  • (b) a proxy need not be a member of the Company; and

The available Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

  • (a) the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed);

  • (b) if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands;

  • (d) if the proxy is not the Chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • (a) an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members;

  • (b) the appointed proxy is not the Chair of the meeting;

  • (c) at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded, or is otherwise required under section 250JA, on the resolution; and

Your proxy voting instruction must be received by 4:00pm (AWST) on 6 July 2024, being not later than 48 hours before the commencement of the Meeting.

2.5

Depositary Interest holders

Persons Entitled to Vote

The Form of Instruction (accompanying this Notice of Meeting) must be signed by the depositary interest holder or an attorney duly authorised in writing and deposited at the office of the Depositary, Computershare Investor Services PLC, located at The Pavilions, Bridgewater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY by 5:00 pm (UK Time) on 4 July 2024. Any Form of Instruction received after that time will not be valid for the Meeting.

CREST Voting

Holders of Depositary Interests in CREST may transmit voting instructions by utilising the CREST voting service in accordance with the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for instructions made using the CREST voting service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a “ CREST Voting Instruction ”) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear’s specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com ).

To be effective, the CREST Voting Instruction must be transmitted so as to be received by the Company’s agent (3RA50) no later than 5:00 pm (UK Time) on 4 July 2024. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which the Company’s agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.

Holders of Depositary Interests in CREST and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions. It is the responsibility of the Depositary Interest holder concerned to take (or, if the Depositary Interest holder is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that the CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST voting service by any particular time. In this connection, Depositary Interest holders and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

The Chair will attempt to respond to the questions during the Meeting. The Chair will request prior to a Shareholder asking a question that they identify themselves (including the entity name of their shareholding and the number of Shares they hold).

3. Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of Placement Securities

3.1

General

On 12 April 2024, the Company completed a placement raising approximately £922,000 (before costs) ( Placement ). The Placement is comprised of the following tranches:

  • (a) the issue of 153,666,663 Shares ( Placement Shares ) to unrelated parties at an issue price of £0.006 each under Listing Rule 7.1A;

  • (b) the issue of 153,666,663 free-attaching unquoted Warrants ( Placement Warrants ) under Listing Rule 7.1, on the basis of one (1) Placement Warrant for each Placement Share subscribed for and issued under the Placement; and

  • (c) the issue of 8,641,666 Shares ( Broker Placement Shares ) and 8,474,999 freeattaching unquoted Warrants ( Broker Placement Warrants ) to the Broker (or its nominees) under Listing Rule 7.1.

On 18 April 2024, the Company issued the Placement Shares and the Placement Warrants (together, the Placement Securities ) using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A in the proportions set out above.

Resolution 1(a) and (b) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Placement Securities.

  • 3.2

Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A 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.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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%. The Company obtained this approval at its 2023 annual general meeting held on 14 November 2023.

The issue of the Placement Securities does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A 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 and the additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. This reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12-month period following the issue of the Placement Securities.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing

Page 8

Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1(a) and (b) 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, and the additional 10% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 1(a) is passed, 153,666,663 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1(b) is passed, 153,666,663 Placement Warrants 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 1(a) is not passed, 153,666,663 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 153,666,663 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Placement Shares (and assuming the Company’s approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).

If Resolution 1(b) is not passed, 153,666,663 Placement Warrants 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 153,666,663 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Placement Warrants.

The Company confirms that Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A were not breached at the time the Placement Securities were issued.

3.3

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 Placement Securities:

  • (a) The Placement Securities were issued to a range of professional and sophisticated investors, none of whom are a related party or a Material Investor of the Company.

Any Notice of Exercise of a Warrant received by the Company will be deemed to be a notice of the exercise of that Warrant as at the date of receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the date of receipt of the payment of the Exercise Price for each Warrant being exercised in cleared funds ( Exercise Date ).

  • (h) ( Timing of issue of Shares on exercise ): The date of allotment and issue of Shares following delivery of a Notice of Exercise shall take place within 5 Business Days of the later of:

  • (i) delivery of the Warrant certificate; or

Within 10 Business Days after the Allotment Date, the Company must issue a new certificate for the remaining Warrants (if any).

  • (i) ( Restrictions on transfer of Shares ): If the Company is required but unable to give ASX a notice under 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 Warrants may not be traded and will be subject to a holding lock until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.
