This cleansing notice (“ Cleansing Notice ”) is given by Chariot Corporation Ltd (ASX: CC9; “ Chariot ” or the “ Company ”) under section 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“ Corporations Act ”) as amended by ASIC Corporations (Sale Offers: Securities Issued on Conversion of Convertible Notes) Instrument 2016/82 .
-
(a) the convertible notes described below have been issued without disclosure to an investor under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) this Cleansing Notice has been given in accordance with section 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act.
The issue of this Cleansing Notice enables the fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (“ Shares ”) issued on the conversion of the convertible notes issued by the Company on the terms described below, to be on-sold to retail investors without further disclosure.
This Cleansing Notice is important and should be read in its entirety.
1. Background
As announced on 27 March 2025, the Company has entered into a convertible securities and share placement agreement (“ Convertible Securities Agreement ”) and secured commitments for up to A$2,000,000 through the issuance of convertible notes (“ Convertible Notes ”) to Obsidian Global GP LLC (“ Obsidian ”) comprising an initial drawdown of A$600,000 plus any subsequent drawdowns as agreed between the Company and Obsidian.
to be provided to the Company in exchange for the issue of 379,378 Convertible Notes (each with a face value of US$1.15) (“ Initial Notes ”) .
Subject to mutual agreement and the satisfaction of other standard conditions precedent, the Company may drawdown up to an additional A$1,400,000 in exchange for the issue of up to an additional A$1,400,000 worth of convertible notes (each with a face value of US$1.15) (“ Subsequent Notes ”).
In addition, the Company has agreed to issue a total of 20,000,000 Shares to Obsidian in consideration for entering into the Convertible Securities Agreement (“ Placement Shares ”).

==> picture [40 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
The Placement Shares function essentially as collateral and will be issued at the request of Obsidian (in one or more requests) no earlier than 1 June 2025. During the term of the Convertible Securities Agreement, Obsidian may elect to purchase the Placement Shares at a price based on a volume weighted average price (“ VWAP ”) formula over a specified period, elect to acquire Placement Shares in exchange for Convertible Notes or use the Placement Shares to offset the Company's obligation to issue Shares under the Convertible Securities Agreement. At maturity, any unpaid Placement Shares will either be paid for at a discounted VWAP, sold on-market with a portion of the proceeds remitted to the Company, or transferred to a nominee of the Company for no consideration.
The Initial Notes and 18,500,000 of the Placement Shares are being issued utilising the Company’s available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The remaining 1,500,000 Placement Shares will be issued subject to Shareholder approval, which the Company will seek to obtain at a general meeting on or before 1 June 2025.
The Company will issue Obsidian 1,500,000 options to acquire Shares exercisable at A$0.21 on or before the date that is two years from the date of issue (“ Investor Options ”), subject to Shareholder approval. If Shareholder approval is not obtained for the Investor Options at the Company’s next general meeting, the Company must pay Obsidian A$50,000 in lieu of issuing them. The Company will also issue Obsidian 150,000 Investor Options per additional A$100,000 drawn down under the Convertible Securities Agreement, subject to Shareholder approval.
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. If the Company elects to pay the Commitment Fee for the initial drawdown in Shares (“ Commitment Shares ”), the issue of those Commitment Shares will be subject to Shareholder approval.
For further information in relation to the Convertible Securities Agreement, please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 27 March 2025 and Schedule 1 below.
A broad summary of the rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to the Initial Notes is set out in Schedule 1 of this Cleansing Notice. The summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definite statement of the rights and liabilities of the holder of Initial Notes (“ Noteholder ”).
This Cleansing Notice is in respect of the Initial Notes only. Any additional issues of Subsequent Notes (if any) will be cleansed under separate cleansing notices or cleansing prospectuses.

issued on 31 December 2024, and no other transactions, in addition to the issue of the Initial - Notes, have occurred. In particular the Pro Forma Accounts do not show the effect of the issue of any subsequent issue of Convertible Notes.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Pro-forma Accounts are the same as those used in the preparation of the 31 December 2024 audited accounts. The historical and Pro-forma Accounts are presented in an abbreviated form, insofar as they do not include all of the disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards applicable to annual

review.
The Pro-forma Accounts have been prepared to provide investors with information on the assets and liabilities of the Company and pro-forma assets and liabilities on the basis that the issue of the Initial Notes were issued on 31 December 2024. The Company advises that the Pro-forma Accounts is not the current financial position of the Company as at the date of this Cleansing Notice, and that the information is provided for illustrative purposes only.
The Pro-forma Accounts show the impact that the issue of the Initial Notes and associated securities would have had on the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2024, if these securities were issued on that date, taking into account funds of A$600,000 received (before costs) on the issue of the Initial Notes to Obsidian and the conversion of the Initial Notes to shares.

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Company’s constitution, a copy of which can be inspected free of charge, at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
The following is a broad summary of the rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to all Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders.
(a) General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

(b)
Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:
-
(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
-
(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
(c)
Dividend rights
Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the directors of the Company ( Directors ) may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

==> picture [468 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Level 5, 191 St Georges Terrace Perth WA 6000 chariotcorporation.com
==> picture [40 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

Shareholder liability
As the Shares issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f)
