In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.chariotcorporation.com.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report to be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.
The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
2.2 Voting consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
2.3 Previous voting results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.

3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is not passed, Frederick Forni will not continue in their role as an executive Director.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE
4.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.
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.
6
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 ). As of the date of this Notice, the Company’s market capitalisation is less than $300,000,000. The Company is therefore an Eligible Entity.
4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
For this Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be cast in favour of the Resolution.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval 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.
4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
| REQUIRED INFORMATION |
DETAILS |
|---|---|
| Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid |
The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following: (a) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting; (b) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and (c) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking). |
| Minimum price | Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash consideration at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before: (a) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or (b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued. |
| Use of funds | The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for or an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital. |
| Risk of economic and voting dilution |
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue. If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below. |
7
| REQUIRED INFORMATION |
DETAILS |
|---|---|
| The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 9 April 2025. The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate. Dilution Number of Shares on Issue (Variable A in Listing Rule 7.1A.2) Shares issued – 10% voting dilution Issue Price $0.042 $0.083 $0.13 50% decrease Issue Price 50% increase Funds Raised Current 160,553,816 Shares 16,055,381 Shares $674,326 $1,332,596 $2,006,922 50% increase 240,830,724 Shares 24,083,072 Shares $1,011,489 $1,998,894 $3,010,384 100% increase 321,107,632 Shares 32,110,763 Shares $1,348,652 $2,665,193 $4,013,845 The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. The table above uses the following assumptions: 1. There are currently 160,553,816 Shares on issue comprising: (a) 159,053,816 existing Shares as at the date of this Notice; (b) 1,500,000 which will be issued if Resolution 8 is passed at this Meeting. 2. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 9 April 2025 (being $0.083) (Issue Price*). The Issue Price at a 50% increase and 50% decrease are each rounded to three decimal places prior to the calculation of the funds raised. 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. 5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised 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%. |

| REQUIRED INFORMATION |
DETAILS |
|---|---|
| 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. Shareholders should note that there is a risk that: (a) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and (b) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue. |
|
| Allocation policy under 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 the Company. The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors: (a) the purpose of the issue; (b) 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; (c) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company; (d) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company; (e) prevailing market conditions; and (f) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable). |
| Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |
The Company did not obtain approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 at its last annual general meeting. Accordingly, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the twelve months preceding the date of the Meeting. |
| Voting exclusion statement |
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice. |
5. RESOLUTION 4 – RENEWAL OF PROPORTIONAL TAKEOVER PROVISIONS IN THE CONSTITUTION
5.1 General
A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s shares.
Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, an entity may include a provision in its constitution whereby a proportional takeover bid for shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.
9
In accordance with section 648G(1) of the Corporations Act, such clause will cease to apply at the end of three years from the incorporation of the Company, insertion of the clause or renewal of the clause (as appropriate) unless otherwise specified. When this clause ceases to apply, the constitution will be modified by omitting the clause.
A company may renew its proportional takeover approval provisions in the same manner in which a company can modify its constitution (i.e., by special resolution of shareholders).
The Company’s constitution (including the proportional takeover provisions set out in clause 37) was adopted on 13 December 2022. Accordingly, the proportional takeover provisions included in the Constitution apply until 13 December 2025 unless sooner omitted or renewed.
This Resolution is a special resolution which will enable the Company to modify its Constitution by renewing clause 37 for a period of three years from the date of Shareholder approval. It is noted that Shareholder approval will not result in a change to the wording of clause 37.
The Company is permitted to seek further Shareholder approval to renew this clause for further periods of up to three years on each occasion.
A copy of the Constitution was released to ASX on 21 October 2024 and is available for download from the Company’s ASX announcements platform.
5.2 Technical information required by section 648G(5) of the Corporations Act
| Overview | A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s shares. Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, the Company has included in the Proposed Constitution a provision whereby a proportional takeover bid for Shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of Shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act. This clause of the Proposed Constitution will cease to have effect on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption of last renewal of the clause. |
|---|---|
| Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions |
Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off- market bid is prohibited unless and until a Resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed. |
| Reasons for proportional takeover provisions |
A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced. |
| Knowledge of any acquisition proposals |
As at the date of this Notice, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company. |
| Potential advantages and disadvantages of |
The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and |
10
| proportional takeover provisions |
that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted. The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include: (a) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed; (b) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority; (c) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and (d) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid. The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include: (a) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged; (b) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and (c) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced. |
|---|---|
| Recommendation of the Board |
The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of adopting the proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that the proportional takeover provision in the Proposed Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution. |
6. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 5 TO 9

If the Convertible Securities Agreement terminates or expires, or all Convertible Notes issued under it have been redeemed in full, there is no amount outstanding under the Convertible Securities Agreement, there are Shares issued to Obsidian in the Placement Share Pool and there is no subsisting event of default under the Convertible Securities Agreement, the Obsidian must either:
-
(a) pay the Company an amount determined by multiplying the number of Placement Shares on issue by 90% of the average of 3 daily VWAPs nominated by Obsidian from the daily VWAPs during the 15 trading days immediately prior to the date upon which Obsidian makes the payment, rounded down to the lowest A$0.01; or
-
(b) sell the Placement Shares on issue on-market and pay 95% of the net sale proceeds to the Company; or
-
(c) transfer the Placement Shares on issue to the Company’s nominee for no consideration.
The Company notes that the commercial rationale for the issue of the Placement Shares is that:
-
(a) it allows Obsidian to reduce the administrative burden on the Company by not requiring the Company to issue additional Shares on conversion of the Convertible Notes in circumstances where Obsidian may have already formed the view that it wishes to reduce its exposure to the Company by not purchasing some of the Placement Shares in the Placement Share Pool;
-
(b) it provides Obsidian with flexibility to decrease its exposure to the Company, the industry in which it operates, and market volatility generally in accordance with Obsidian’s risk appetite from time to time; and
-
(c) it provides Obsidian with access to a pool of ‘pre-cleansed’ Shares, which Obsidian can set off against Conversion Shares on a 1-1 basis in the event that the Company is not able to issue cleansed shares in a timely manner for any reason.
Set out below is a worked example of the number of Shares that may be issued on conversion of the First Purchase Convertible Notes compared to if Obsidian elects to acquire Placement Shares in exchange for Convertible Notes. The following worked example is prepared based on the assumption that the AUD:USD exchange rate is 0.640 and the average of the 7 lowest daily VWAPs is A$0.07.

Notes :
-
The number of Shares issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes ( Convertible Note Shares ) is determined by the formula set out in Section 7.1.
-
Obsidian could elect to redeem the First Purchase Convertible Notes, by offsetting the amount it would pay of Placement Shares for the amount outstanding for the Convertible Notes at 110% of their face value (being A$749,864). Accordingly, Obsidian would be offsetting 10,712,347 Placement Shares for the redemption of the First Purchase Convertible Notes.
-
There are currently 159,053,816 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice and this table assumes no Options are exercised, no convertible securities converted or additional Shares issued.
-
The Company notes that the above workings are an example only and the actual issue price for Placement Shares and the AUD:USD exchange rate may differ. This will result in the number of Shares to be issued and the dilution percentage to also differ.
6.3 First Purchase Options
The Company has also agreed to issue Obsidian 1,500,000 Options (exercisable at A$0.21 on or before the date that is two years from the date of issue) ( First Purchase Options ), subject to Shareholder approval. If Shareholder approval is not obtained for the First Purchase Options at this Meeting, the Company must pay Obsidian A$50,000 in lieu of issuing them. The Company will also issue Obsidian 150,000 Options per additional A$100,000 drawn down under the Convertible Securities Agreement, on the same terms of the First Purchase Options, subject to Shareholder approval.
6.4 Commitment Fee
At each drawdown of Convertible Notes, the Company will pay Obsidian a commitment fee equal to 2.5% of the funds advanced at each drawdown ( Commitment Fee ), payable either in cash or in Shares (based on a 5-day VWAP), at the Company’s election. The Company elected to pay the Commitment Fee for the initial drawdown in Shares, equalling 160,455 Shares ( Commitment Shares ), which were issued on 28 March 2025.
6.5 Listing Rule 6.1
Listing Rule 6.1 requires that any convertible securities issued by a company are issued on terms that are considered appropriate and equitable. In determining whether the convertible securities are appropriate and equitable, the terms and conditions of the convertible securities must be fair to both new and existing shareholders of the company. If the convertible securities appear to be favourable to the holder of the convertible securities, the company is required to explain the circumstances underpinning the issue of the convertible securities.
The Company provides the following information for the purposes of section 4 of ASX Compliance Update No 05/20, and ASX Compliance Update No 05/23:
-
(a) the Company has negotiated the Convertible Securities Agreement at arm’s length with a sophisticated and professional investor who is an independent third party to the Company and is not a related party of the Company;
-
(b) the Company considers that the issue of the Convertible Notes is an appropriate and commercial solution to provide working capital to enable the Company to support its ongoing exploration activities and operations;
-
(c) prior to entering into the Convertible Securities Agreement, the Company considered other available fund raising options, such as a traditional equity raising and other types of equity-linked debt instruments, to meet the Company’s
13
funding requirements. The Company was of the view that the other options available were not on the same commercial terms and were therefore not in the best interests of Shareholders of the Company; and
- (d) the Company has not agreed to both enter into a deed of charge or other form of security arrangement and to issue ‘collateral shares’ to a convertible noteholder.
The Company confirms that it sought legal advice from Steinepreis Paganin regarding the suitability of the terms of the Convertible Notes and was advised that the Convertible Notes were market standard and do not contain any of the features noted in section 5.9 of ASX Guidance Note 21, based on the reasons set out below:
-
(a) the Convertible Securities Agreement contains a fixed price for the conversion of the Convertible Notes; and
-
(b) there are other convertible notes on similar terms in the marketplace.
7. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF FIRST PURCHASE CONVERTIBLE NOTES TO OBSIDIAN GLOBAL GP, LLC
7.1 General
This Resolution seeks Shareholder ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the First Purchase Convertible Notes to Obsidian on 3 April 2025 and the subsequent entitlement to convert the First Purchase Convertible Notes into Shares.
Pursuant to the Convertible Securities Agreement, the number of Convertible Note Shares issued upon a conversion of the Convertible Notes will be determined by the following formula:
Number of Convertible Note Shares = Face Value / Conversion Price
Where:
Conversion Price means either:
-
(a) A$0.14 (the Fixed Conversion Price ); or
-
(b) in the event of an unremedied event of default and the Noteholder issuing the Company a conversion notice, the lesser of:
-
(A) 80% of the lowest daily VWAP during the 10 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice; and
-
(B) the Fixed Conversion Price,
(the Variable Conversion Price ).
Exchange Rate means the spot rate of exchange displayed for that day on the Reserve Bank of Australia website or as reported by IRESS (as determined by Obsidian).
Face Value means the Face Value of the Convertible Notes, being US$1.15 each, multiplied by the number of Convertible Notes to be converted, and converted into A$ at the Exchange Rate.
VWAP means in relation to one or more trading days, the volume weighted average price (in A$), of the Shares on ASX and Cboe for those trading days, as reported by IRESS.
IRESS means the data reporting service provided by Iress Limited ACN 060 313 359, or entities related to or affiliated with Iress Limited ACN 060 313 359, or such other reputable data reporting service as determined by Obsidian.
7.2 Listing Rule 7.1
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 12 month period.
14
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
7.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
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 Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
7.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the issue 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 the issue.
If this Resolution is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
