4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report
4.1 General
In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2025 in the 2025 Annual Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.
In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the 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).
Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2024 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2026 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
4.2 Additional information
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
Given the personal interests of all Directors in the outcome of this Resolution, the Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.
Page 13
5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Garret Dixon
5.1 General
Article 7.2(b) of the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.5 both provide that there must be an election of directors at each annual general meeting of the Company.
Garret Dixon, Non-Executive Director, was last re-elected at the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting and has held office as a director the longest without re-election. Accordingly, Mr Dixon retires at this Meeting and, being eligible, seeks re-election pursuant to Resolution 2.
If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Dixon will be re-elected as a Director of the Company. If Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Dixon will not be re-elected as a Director of the Company.
5.2 Garret Dixon
Mr Dixon has extensive experience in the resources and mining contracting sectors in Australia and overseas. His work in both private and ASX-listed companies spans more than three decades, having worked in senior executive roles for major mine owners, mine operators and contractors.
Mr Dixon recently held the position of Executive VP Alcoa & President Bauxite, where he was responsible for the global bauxite mining business for the NYSElisted Alcoa Corporation.
His career also includes the roles of Executive General Manager at civil construction and contract mining group Henry Walker Eltin Ltd and Managing Director of ASX-listed Gindalbie Metals Ltd (ASX: GBG).
Mr Dixon has acknowledged to the Company that he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Director of Chalice.
If re-elected, Mr Dixon is considered by the Board (with Mr Dixon abstaining) to be an independent Director. Mr Dixon is not considered by the Board to hold any interest, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the entity as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual security holder or other party.
5.3 Board recommendation
The Board (other than Mr Dixon who has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 2) supports the re-election of Mr Dixon. Mr Dixon’s considerable mining industry, corporate, and commercial experience gained across his former and current roles in both an executive and non-executive capacity, enhances the Board’s capability. Mr Dixon’s significant experience provides a valuable contribution to the Board though his role as Chair of the Risk and

Sustainability Committee and as a member of the Audit Committee and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
5.4 Additional information
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
6. Resolution 3 – Re-approval of Employee Securities Incentive Plan
6.1 General
The Company considers that it is desirable to maintain an employee incentive scheme ( Plan ) pursuant to which the Company can issue Equity Securities to attract, motivate and retain key Directors, employees and consultants and provide them with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
The Company’s executive remuneration framework is designed to align with its overarching business strategy, supporting long-term value creation, disciplined capital management, and the achievement of key milestones such as the Final Investment Decision for the Gonneville Project. The structure aims to attract, retain, and motivate high-calibre employees through competitive total remuneration, benchmarked against industry peers and reflective of the Company’s stage of development and strategic ambitions.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to a maximum of 40,060,231 Equity Securities under the Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b).
Shareholders previously approved the issue of Equity Securities under the Plan as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the Company’s 2022 annual general meeting ( 2022 ESIP Approval ). Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b) provides that this approval lasts for a period of three years. The 2022 ESIP Approval is due to expire on 23 November 2025 and re-approval is therefore sought for the Plan by Shareholders at this Meeting.
6.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2, exception 13(b)
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.
Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 such that issues of Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of three years from the date on which Shareholders approve the issue of Equity Securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue up to a maximum of
Page 15
40,060,231 Equity Securities under the Plan pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), to eligible participants over a period of three years without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
However, 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 approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, any issue of Equity Securities pursuant to the Plan would need to be made either with Shareholder approval or, in default of Shareholder approval, pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b)
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), the following information is provided in relation to the Plan:

Resolution 3 is an ordinary Resolution.
In the interests of good governance, the Directors (who are all eligible to participate in the Plan) abstain from making a recommendation on Resolution 3.
7. Resolution 4 – Approval of potential termination benefits under the Plan
7.1
General
The Corporations Act contains certain limitations concerning the payment of 'termination benefits' to persons who hold a 'managerial or executive office'. The Listing Rules also provides certain limitations on the payment of "termination benefits" to officers of listed entities.
As is common with employee incentive schemes, the Plan provides the Board with the discretion to, amongst other things, determine that some or all of the Equity Securities granted to a participant under the Plan ( Plan Securities ) will not lapse in the event of that participant ceasing their engagement with the Company before such Plan Securities have vested. This 'accelerated vesting' of Plan Securities may constitute a 'termination benefit' prohibited under the Corporations Act, regardless of the value of such benefit, unless Shareholder approval is obtained. Accordingly, the Board has resolved to seek Shareholder approval for the granting of such termination benefits in accordance with Resolution 4.
For the avoidance of any doubt, the approval granted pursuant to this Resolution shall end upon the expiry of all Securities issued or to be issued under the Plan and regardless of whether the cap approved by Shareholders under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b) (the subject of Resolution 3) expires, is exceeded or re-refreshed from time to time.
7.2 Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act
Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with them ceasing to hold a 'managerial or executive office' (as defined in the Corporations Act) if an exemption applies or if the benefit is approved by shareholders in accordance with section 200E of the Corporations Act.
Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act to approve the giving of benefits under the Plan to a person by the Company in connection with that person ceasing to be an officer of, or ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in, the Company (or subsidiary of the Company) on the terms and conditions in this Explanatory Memorandum.
As noted above, under the terms of the Plan and subject to the Listing Rules, the Board possesses the discretion to vary the terms or conditions of the Plan
Page 17
Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the participant in the Plan, no amendment may be made to the terms of any granted Plan Security which reduces the rights of the participant in respect of that Plan Security, other than an amendment introduced primarily to comply with legislation, to correct any manifest error or mistake or to take into consideration possible adverse tax implications.
As a result of the above discretion, the Board has the power to determine that some or all of a participant's Plan Securities will not lapse and to vest if the participant ceases employment, engagement or office with the Company before the vesting of their Plan Securities. Examples of the circumstances when the Board may decide to exercise its discretion to permit some or all of the Plan Securities to vest include where a Participant becomes a leaver due to death, redundancy, permanent disability, mental incapacity or retirement. These examples are not exhaustive.
The exercise of this discretion by the Board may constitute a 'benefit' for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act. The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval for the exercise of the Board's discretion in respect of any current or future participant in the Plan who holds:
-
(a) a managerial or executive office in, or is an officer of, the Company (or subsidiary of the Company) at the time of their leaving or at any time in the three years prior to their leaving; and
-
(b) Plan Securities at the time of their leaving.
7.3 Value of the termination benefits
Provided Shareholder approval is given, the value of the termination benefits may be disregarded when applying section 200F(2)(b) or section 200G(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (ie. the approved benefit will not count towards the statutory cap under the legislation).
The value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the Plan cannot be determined in advance. This is because various matters will or are likely to affect that value. In particular, the value of a particular benefit will depend on factors such as the Company's Share price at the time of vesting and the number of Plan Securities that will vest or otherwise be affected. The following additional factors may also affect the benefit's value:
-
(a) the participant's length of service and the status of the vesting conditions attaching to the relevant Plan Securities at the time the participant's employment or office ceases; and
-
(b) the number of unvested Plan Securities that the participant holds at the time they cease employment or office.
Listing Rule 10.19 relevantly provides that without shareholder approval, an entity must ensure that no officer of the entity or any of its child entities will be,
Page 18
or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the termination benefits that are or may become payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interest of the entity, as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.19, the Company will ensure that no officer of the Company or any of its child entities will, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the terminations benefits that are or may be payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the Company as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.
7.4 Board recommendation
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 4 due to their potential personal interests in the outcome of the Resolution.
8. Resolution 5 – Approval of issue of Performance Rights to Alex Dorsch
8.1 General
The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to 175,390 Performance Rights as part of the Company’s FY2026 Short Term Incentive ( STI ) and 219,237 Performance Rights as part of the Company’s FY2026 Long Term Incentive ( LTI ). This results in a total of 394,627 Performance Rights (together, the MD Performance Rights ) to be issued under the Plan to Alex Dorsch (or his nominee/s). A summary of the Plan is in Schedule 7.
The Company has continued its shift toward incentive arrangements with a greater equity component in lieu of cash based remuneration, reflecting our focus on preserving cash and further strengthening alignment with shareholders. The incentive framework includes a mix of short-term incentives (STI), and long-term incentives (LTI). These elements are structured to reward both near-term operational success and long-term strategic outcomes, with a particular emphasis on equity-based incentives to promote alignment with shareholder interests. The program incorporates ambitious performance hurdles to encourage and reward exceptional results.
Given the Company’s continued focus on conserving cash, the Board has determined that for the FY2026 STI, Performance Rights will be issued in lieu of cash as part of his variable incentive. This remuneration mix for Mr Dorsch has been structured with greater weighting towards near and longer-term strategic objectives.
The proposed grant of the MD Performance Rights under Resolution 5 is a key component of the remuneration arrangements of Mr Dorsch. The remuneration mix of Mr Dorsch’s remuneration arrangements for FY2026, are 36% fixed annual remuneration, 18% short-term incentives and 45% long-term incentives.
Page 19
The number of MD Performance Rights proposed to be granted under the STI is calculated as 50% of Mr Dorsch’s fixed annual remuneration of $525,000 divided by $1.497, being the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Shares on the ASX over the 20 days up to and including 30 June 2025.
For the FY2026 LTI, the Board determined that the incentives to be issued to Mr Dorsch would be split, whereby 50% of the LTI would be awarded in Performance Rights and the remaining 50% would be awarded as unlisted Options. The Options to be issued to Mr Dorsch under the FY2026 LTI are the subject of Resolution 6(b).
The number of MD Performance Rights proposed to be granted under the LTI is calculated as 62.5% of Mr Dorsch’s fixed annual remuneration of $525,000 divided by $1.497, being the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Shares on the ASX over the 20 days up to and including 30 June 2025.
The MD Performance Rights provide an entitlement to receive fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company on achieving vesting conditions as determined by the Board. The vesting conditions have been developed with the intention of creating Shareholder value. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising with Performance Rights is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves whilst assisting in retaining Mr Dorsch in a competitive market. If the vesting conditions are not achieved by the measurement date, the MD Performance Rights lapse and no Shares will be issued.
Over the past two years, only 20% of the FY2022 LTI awards and 12.5% of the FY2023 LTI awards vested, clearly illustrating that maximum vesting outcomes are uncommon and the performance hurdles are robust, reflecting a highperformance standard.
The MD Performance Rights under the FY2026 STI will vest and otherwise will be issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2 and the MD Performance Rights under the FY2026 LTI will vest and otherwise will be issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 3.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of the MD Performance Rights to Mr Dorsch (or his nominee/s) under the Plan.
8.2 Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of its Shareholders:
(a) a director of the entity (Listing Rule 10.14.1);
Page 20
-
(b) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 (Listing Rule 10.14.2); and
-
(c) a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by Shareholders.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the MD Performance Rights as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of the MD Performance Rights to Mr Dorsch (or his nominee/s) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 or the maximum permitted number of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b).
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company to issue the MD Performance Rights to Mr Dorsch (or his nominee/s) under the Plan. If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the MD Performance Rights to Mr Dorsch (or his nominee/s).
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the MD Performance Rights, and the Company will have to consider alternative commercial means to incentivise Mr Dorsch.
8.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the MD Performance Rights:
-
(a) The MD Performance Rights will be issued under the Plan to Mr Dorsch (or his nominee/s).
-
(b) Mr Dorsch falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1 by virtue of being a Director of the Company. If any MD Performance Rights are issued to a nominee of Mr Dorsch, that person(s) will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.2.
-
(c) A maximum of 394,627 MD Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Dorsch (or his nominee/s).
Page 21
- (d) The current total annual remuneration package for Mr Dorsch as at the date of this Notice is:
| Information | Details |
|---|---|
| Fixed Annual Remuneration (cash salary, inclusive of Superannuation) (FAR) |
$525,000 |
| Short-term incentive opportunity, to be measured at 30 June 2026 |
Maximum 50% of FAR on a face value basis (i.e. $262,500) |
| Long term incentive granted as performance rights, to be measured at 30 June 2028 |
Maximum 62.5% of FAR on a face value basis (i.e. $328,125) |
-
(e) The following Equity Securities have previously been issued to Mr Dorsch under the Plan:
-
(i) 154,574 Performance Rights, which were approved by Shareholders at the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting; and
-
(ii) 696,458 Performance Rights, which were approved by Shareholders at the Company’s 2024 annual general meeting.
-
(f) The MD Performance Rights under the FY2026 STI will be issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2 and the MD Performance Rights under the FY2026 LTI will be issued on the terms and conditions in Schedule 3.
-
(g) The Board considers that Performance Rights, rather than Shares, are an appropriate form of incentive because they aim to align the remuneration of Mr Dorsch with the goal of generating shareholder wealth. The vesting conditions are designed to be consistent with the Company’s strategic and business objectives. Mr Dorsch will only be rewarded for the achievement of financial and non-financial business objectives and Mr Dorsch will only obtain the value of the MD Performance Rights upon satisfaction of the relevant milestones.
-
(h) The Company's valuation of the MD Performance Rights is $907,642. Additional information on the valuation methodologies and assumptions are contained in Schedule 4.
-
(i) The MD Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Dorsch (or his nominee/s) as soon as practicable following the Meeting and in any event not later than three years after the Meeting.
Page 22
-
(j) The MD Performance Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration and will be provided as an incentive component to Mr Dorsch's remuneration package.
-
(k) A summary of the material terms of the Plan is in Schedule 7.
-
(l) No loan will be provided to Mr Dorsch in relation to the issue of the MD Performance Rights.
-
(m) Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company 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.
-
(n) Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after the resolution is approved and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.
-
(o) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
8.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The proposed issue of the MD Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
The Board (with Mr Dorsch abstaining) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required because the issue of the MD Performance Rights falls within the "reasonable remuneration" exception stipulated by section 211 of the Corporations Act.
8.5 Additional information
Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board (other than Mr Dorsch who has a personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
Page 23
9. Resolution 6 – Approval of issue of Director Options
9.1 General
The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to a total of 1,388,676 Options to the Directors (or their respective nominee/s) under the Plan ( Director Options ), as follows:
| Director | Number of Director Options |
|---|---|
| Derek La Ferla | 300,000 |
| Alex Dorsch | 588,676 |
| Garret Dixon | 250,000 |
| Richard Hacker | 250,000 |
| TOTAL | 1,388,676 |
In recognition of the 10% reduction in directors’ fees implemented from 1 September 2025 and to support ongoing retention and alignment of directors’ interests of shareholders, the Company is proposing to issue options to nonexecutive directors in the quantities listed above. The Board considers this approach an appropriate mechanism to both offset the impact of reduced cash remuneration and to ensure directors are incentivised to contribute to the long-term growth and success of the Company.
The options are being issued to Mr Dorsch as part of the FY2026 LTI award, which has split the incentive structure between performance rights and options to provide a clear alignment between management focus, strategic delivery and shareholder outcomes. Importantly, the option component is linked directly to growth in shareholder value. They only deliver value to participants if there is a material and sustained uplift in share price, thereby aligning executives’ rewards with the interests of shareholders.
The number of options proposed to be granted to Mr Dorsch under the LTI is calculated as 62.5% of his fixed annual remuneration of $525,000 divided by ~$0.56, which is the calculated value of the option using the Black Scholes valuation method as at 30 June 2025.
The value of the Options proposed for approval has increased since the original award, due to a material uplift in the Company’s share price in recent weeks. Shareholders should note, however, that when the options were granted to Mr Dorsch and the non-executive directors (subject to shareholder approval), the Company’s share price was $1.83, and the valuation of the options was based on that lower price. The increase in value exclusively reflects market movements since that time and the Board considers the structure and quantum of the options remain appropriate and in line with market practice. Resolution 6(a), (b), (c) and (d) (inclusive) seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing
Page 24
Rule 10.14 and sections 195(4) and 208 of the Corporations Act for the issue of up to 1,388,676 Director Options under the Plan to the Directors (or their respective nominees).
9.2 Listing Rule 10.14
A summary of Listing Rule 10.14 is in Section 8.2.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Options as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Options will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 or the maximum permitted number of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b).
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 6(a), (b), (c) and (d) (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to proceed with the issue of the Director Options to the Directors (or their respective nominee/s) in the proportions listed above.
If Resolution 6(a), (b), (c) and (d) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Options to the Directors (or their respective nominee/s) and the Company will consider other alternative commercial means to incentivise the Directors, including by the payment of cash, subject to the requirements of the Constitution, Corporations Act and Listing Rules.
Resolution 6(a), (b), (c) and (d) (inclusive) are not conditional on each other, and Shareholders may approve one or all of those Resolutions (in which case, the Director Options the subject of the relevant Resolution(s) will be issued), even though Shareholders have not approved all of these Resolutions.

(1) 2,000,000 of these Shares are held by HSBC Custody Nominees (Australia) Ltd, as custodian for Equities First Holdings LLC as security for a margin loan facility. Refer to the ASX announcement of 30 April 2025 for additional information.
Assuming that each of the Resolutions which form part of Resolution 6 are approved by Shareholders, all of the Director Options are issued, vested and exercised into Shares, and no other Equity Securities are issued or exercised (including any existing convertible Securities held by the Directors as at the date of this Notice), the interest of each of the Directors in the Company’s Shares would be (based on 389,105,591 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice):
| Director | Percentage interest held in Company Shares |
|---|---|
| Derek La Ferla | 0.09% |
| Alex Dorsch | 1.70% |
| Garret Dixon | 0.10% |
| Richard Hacker | 0.40% |
(g)
Dilution
The issue of the Director Options will have a diluting effect on the percentage interest of existing Shareholders' holdings if the Director Options vest and are exercised. The potential dilution if all Director Options vest and are exercised into Shares is approximately 0.36%, based on the Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice and assuming that no other Shares are issued.
Page 29
On a fully diluted basis (that is, assuming that all convertible securities vest and are exercised into Shares), the potential dilution if all Director Options vest and are exercised into Shares is approximately 0.35%, based on the convertible securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The actual dilution will depend on the extent that additional Shares are issued by the Company.
(h) Trading history
The highest and lowest closing market sale prices of the Shares on ASX during the 12 months prior to the date of this Notice were:
Highest : $2.39 per Share on 26 September 2025
Lowest : $0.83 per Share on 9 April 2025
The latest available closing market sale price of the Shares on ASX prior to the date of this Notice was $2.39 per Share on 26 September 2025.
(i)
Corporate governance
Mr Dorsch is the Managing Director of the Company and therefore the Board (other than Mr Dorsch) believe that the grant of those Director Options to Mr Dorsch is in line with the guidelines in Box 8.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ( Recommendations ).
Mr Dorsch (being the only Director without an interest in the outcome of Resolution 6(a), (c) and (d) (inclusive)) notes that the grant of those Director Options to Messrs La Ferla, Dixon and Hacker is not contrary to the guidelines in Box 8.2 of the Recommendations on the basis that there are no performance hurdles attaching to the Director Options. Mr Dorsch otherwise considers the grant of the Director Options to the NonExecutive Directors to be reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons provided in Section 9.3(g) above.
(j)
Taxation consequences
There are no material taxation consequences for the Company arising from the issue of the Director Options (including fringe benefits tax).
(k) Board recommendation
The Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders given the personal interests of all the Directors in the outcome of this Resolution.
(l)
Other information
The Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision
Page 30
whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 6(a), (b), (c) and (d) (inclusive).
9.7 Additional information
Each of Resolution 6(a), (b), (c) and (d) (inclusive) is an ordinary resolution.
10. Resolution 7 – Re-insertion of Proportional Takeover Bid Approval Provisions
10.1 General
The Constitution contains proportional takeover bid approval provisions ( PTBA Provisions ) which enable the Company to refuse to register securities acquired under a proportional takeover bid unless a resolution is passed by Shareholders in general meeting approving the offer. Under the Corporations Act, proportional takeover provisions expire after three years from adoption or renewal and may then be renewed. The PTBA Provisions were most recently reapproved by Shareholders at the Company’s 2022 annual general meeting and are due to shortly expire.
Resolution 7 seeks the approval of Shareholders to modify the Constitution by re-inserting the PTBA Provisions for a further three years under sections 648G(4) and 136(2) of the Corporations Act. The proposed PTBA Provisions are identical to those previously contained in schedule 5 of the Constitution.
The Corporations Act requires the Company to provide Shareholders with an explanation of the PTBA Provisions as set out below.
10.2 Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act
(a) What is a proportional takeover bid?
A proportional off-market takeover bid ( PT Bid ) is a takeover offer sent to all Shareholders but only for a specified portion of each Shareholder's Securities. Accordingly, if a Shareholder accepts in full the offer under a PT Bid, it will dispose of the specified portion of its securities in the Company and retain the balance of the Securities.
(b) Effect of renewal
If renewed and a PT Bid is made to Shareholders of the Company, the Board is required to convene a meeting of Shareholders to vote on a resolution to approve the proportional takeover. That meeting must be held at least 14 days before the day before the last day of the bid period and during which the offers under the PT Bid remain open or a later day allowed by ASIC ( Deadline Date ).
The resolution is taken to have been passed if a majority of securities voted at the meeting, excluding the securities of the bidder and its associates, vote in favour of the resolution. If no resolution is voted on by the Deadline Date, the resolution is deemed to have been passed.
Page 31
Where the resolution approving the PT Bid is passed or deemed to have been passed, transfers of securities resulting from accepting the PT Bid are registered provided they otherwise comply with the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, the ASX Operating Rules and the Company's Constitution. If the resolution is rejected, then under the Corporations Act the PT Bid is deemed to be withdrawn.
The Directors consider that Shareholders should have the opportunity to re-insert the PTBA Provisions. Without the PTBA Provisions applying, a PT Bid for the Company may enable effective control of the Company to be acquired without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all of their securities to the bidder. Shareholders could be at risk of passing control to the bidder without payment of an adequate control premium for all their securities whilst leaving themselves as part of a minority interest in the Company. Without the PTBA Provisions, if there was a PT Bid and Shareholders considered that control of the Company was likely to pass, Shareholders would be placed under pressure to accept the PT Bid even if they did not want control of the Company to pass to the bidder. Re-inserting the PTBA Provisions will make this situation less likely by permitting Shareholders to decide whether a PT Bid should be permitted to proceed.
(c) No knowledge of present acquisition proposals
As at the date of this Notice, no Director is aware of a proposal by any person to acquire or increase the extent of a substantial interest in the Company.
(d) Potential advantages and disadvantages
The renewal of the PTBA Provisions will enable the Directors to formally ascertain the views of Shareholders about a PT Bid. Without these provisions, the Directors are dependent upon their perception of the interests and views of Shareholders. Other than this advantage, the Directors consider that re-insertion of the PTBA Provisions has no potential advantages or potential disadvantages for them, as they remain free to make a recommendation on whether a PT Bid should be accepted.
The Directors consider that re-inserting the PTBA Provisions benefits all Shareholders in that they will have an opportunity to consider a PT Bid and then attend or be represented by proxy at a meeting of Shareholders called specifically to vote on the proposal. Accordingly, Shareholders are able to prevent a PT Bid proceeding if there is sufficient support for the proposition that a substantial interest (and potentially control) of the Company should not be permitted to pass under the PT Bid. Furthermore, knowing the view of Shareholders assists each individual Shareholder to assess the likely outcome of the PT Bid and whether to accept or reject that bid.
Page 32
As to the possible disadvantages to Shareholders re-inserting the PTBA Provisions, potentially, the proposal makes a PT Bid more difficult and PT Bids will therefore be discouraged. This may reduce the opportunities which Shareholders may have to sell all or some of their securities at a premium to persons seeking an increased holding or control of the Company and may reduce any takeover speculation element in the Company's Share price. The PTBA Provisions may also be considered an additional restriction on the ability of individual Shareholders to deal freely on their Securities.
The Directors consider that there are no other advantages or disadvantages for Directors or Shareholders which arose during the period during which the PTBA Provisions were in effect, other than those discussed in this Section. On balance, the Directors consider that the possible advantages outweigh the possible disadvantages so that the re-insertion of the PTBA Provisions is in the interest of Shareholders.
10.3 Additional information
Resolution 7 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

1. At the Valuation Date, the estimated volatility of the Share price of the Company was calculated using data obtained from S&P CapIQ.
2. The 2-year Australian Government bond rate as at 17 September 2025 was used for the STI MD Performance Rights.
3. The 3-year Australian Government bond rate as at 17 September 2025 was used for the LTI MD Performance Rights.
4. A nil dividend yield is assumed on the basis that the Company is unlikely to pay a dividend during the life of the MD Performance Rights.
5. The Share price used is $2.30, being the underlying Share price on the valuation date of 24 September 2025.
6. No consideration is to be paid upon exercising the MD Performance Rights.
7. Under the accounting standard AASB 2 Share Based Payments, the Company will recognise a non-cash expense in the income statement based on the fair value of the MD Performance Rights over the period from the date of issue to the vesting date.

6.
- ( Exercise Price ): The Options have an exercise price of $2.60.
7. ( Notice of Exercise ): The vested Options may be exercised by delivering a signed notice of exercise to the Company Secretary ( Notice of Exercise ) and payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised in Australian currency by electronic funds transfer or other means of payment acceptable to the Company.
Any Notice of Exercise of an Option received by the Company will be deemed to be a notice of the exercise of that Option 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 Option being exercised in cleared funds ( Exercise Date ).

-
(a) issue, allocate or cause to be transferred to the holder the number of Shares to which the holder is entitled;

Page 48
Corporations Act. The Company is authorised by the holder to apply a holding lock on the relevant Shares during the period of such restriction from trading.

12. ( Cashless exercise of Options ): The holder of Options may elect not to be required to provide payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Options specified in a Notice of Exercise but that on exercise of those Options the Company will transfer or allot to the holder that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the then Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the Exercise Price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Options (with the number of Shares rounded down to the nearest whole Share).

18. ( Change in exercise price ): There will be no change to the exercise price of the Options or the number of Shares over which the Options are exercisable in the event of the Company making a pro-rata issue of Shares or other securities to the holders of Shares in the Company (other than a bonus issue).
19. ( Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares ): If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment):
- (a) the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of an Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the Option holder
Page 49
would have received if the Option holder had exercised the Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and
- (b) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.
20. ( Return of capital rights ): The Options do not confer any right to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

22. ( Takeovers prohibition ):
-

23. ( No other rights ): An Option does not give a holder any rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.
24. ( Amendments required by ASX ): The terms of the Options may be amended as considered necessary by the Board in order to comply with the ASX Listing Rules, or any directions of ASX regarding the terms provided that, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, following such amendment, the economic and other rights of the holder are not diminished or terminated.
25. ( Plan ): The Options are issued pursuant to and are subject to the Plan. In the event of conflict between a provision of these terms and conditions and the Plan, these terms and conditions prevail to the extent of that conflict.

Notes:
1. At the Valuation Date, the estimated volatility of the Share price of the Company was calculated using data obtained from S&P CapIQ.
2. The assumed Share price at grant date of $2.30 is based on the underlying Share price on the valuation date of 24 September 2025.
3. The market value of the underlying Shares at the time of setting the exercise price was $1.83 as at 27 August 2025.
4. The 3-year Australian Government bond rate as at 17 September 2025 was used for the risk-free rate over the effective life of the Options.
5. A nil dividend yield is assumed on the basis that the Company is unlikely to pay a dividend during the life of the Director Options.
6. Under the accounting standard AASB 2 Share Based Payments, the Company will recognise a non-cash expense in the income statement based on the fair value of the Options over the period from the date of issue to the vesting date. The total fair value of the Options will be allocated over the applicable vesting periods.

-
(a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
-
(b) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and
-

Page 52
4. ( Plan administration ): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to compliance with applicable laws and the Listing Rules. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
5. ( Eligibility, invitation and application ): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. An invitation issued under the Plan will comply with the disclosure obligations pursuant to Division 1A.
On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation. A waiting period of at least 14 days will apply to acquisitions of Securities for monetary consideration as required by the provisions of Division 1A.
6. ( Grant of Securities ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the successful applicant ( Participant ) the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
7. ( Terms of Convertible Securities ): Each ‘Convertible Security’ represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.
8. ( Vesting of Convertible Securities ): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
9. ( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.
Page 53
At the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, and subject to Board approval, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
10. ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
11. ( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.
Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules: any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.
12. ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, 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.
Page 54
13. ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
14. ( Disposal restrictions on Securities ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares or Convertible Securities 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.
15. ( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): 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.
If Shares are issued by the Company 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 an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
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.
16. ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
17. ( Amendment of Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
Page 55
18. ( Plan duration ): The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
19. ( Employee Share Trust ): The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding securities for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of holders upon exercise of Options or Performance Rights.
