2. Resolution 1: Ratification of prior issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares

  • 2.1 General

As noted in Section 1.1 above, on 24 March 2026, the Company issued the Tranche 1 Placement Shares utilising part of its existing 15% Placement Capacity. This Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares. Refer to Section 1.1 for further details of the Placement.

Resolution 1 is an Ordinary Resolution.

2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period ( 15% Placement Capacity ).

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 (as set out in Listing Rule 7.2) and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, 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.

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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 so that it does not use up any of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity.

If Resolution 1 is passed and the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares is ratified, such Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, 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 Resolution 1 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

2.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.5 the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 1:

Party The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to various sophisticated
and/or professional investors, who were identified through a bookbuild
process, which involved Morgan Stanley Australia Limited ACN 003
734 576 and Argonaut Securities Pty Limited ACN 108 330 650
seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from
non-related parties of the Company.
The Company confirms that no Material Persons were issued more
than 1% of the issued capital of the Company.

3. Resolution 2 – Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares

3.1 General

As noted in Section 1.1 above, the Company proposes to issue 317,491,113 Tranche 2 Placement Shares, subject to Shareholder approval.

Resolution 2 is an Ordinary Resolution.

3.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.

At the time of agreeing to issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares, the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares would exceed the Company's 15% Placement Capacity and, as such, is conditional on Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 allowing such issue to fall within exception 17 to Listing Rule 7.1 (as set out in Listing Rule 7.2).

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and such shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. This effectively increases the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares as it does not have sufficient placement capacity to do so and the Company will not be able to raise additional funds from issuing the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and may seek to raise them from alternate sources.

11 Core Lithium | Notice of General Meeting

Additionally, and as noted above, Resolution 2 (Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares) is conditional on Resolution 4 (Approval to issue Tranche 2 Convertible Notes) being passed by Shareholders. Accordingly, if Resolution 4 is not passed by Shareholders, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares as contemplated by Resolution 2, regardless of whether Resolution 2 is passed by Shareholders.

4. Resolution 3 – Ratification of prior issue of Tranche 1 Convertible Notes

4.1 General

As noted in Section 1.1 above, on 18 March 2026, the Company entered into the Convertible Note Deed under which it agreed to issue the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes to InfraVia utilising part of its existing 15% Placement Capacity. Subject to the satisfaction of the Tranche 1 Funding Conditions as detailed in section 4 of Annexure 1, the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes are expected to be issued on or about 10 April 2026. Refer to Section 1.1 for further details on the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes and to Annexure 1 of this Notice for a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes and Convertible Note Deed. This Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes and the subsequent right to convert the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes to Shares.

Resolution 3 is an Ordinary Resolution.

4.2 Conversion of the Convertible Notes

The Noteholder may convert some or all of the Convertible Notes at any time prior to five Business Days before the maturity date. Where only some of the Convertible Notes are to be converted then each conversion must be for an amount not less than US$4,000,000. The Noteholder may exercise this right up to four times per calendar year.

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note Deed (a summary of which is set out in Annexure 1 to this Notice), the number of Shares issued upon a conversion of the Convertible Notes ( Conversion Shares ) will be determined by the following formula:

Outstanding Amount in respect of the Convertible Notes to be converted as at the Conversion Date (converted to Australian Conversion dollars at the Exchange Rate as at the date Number of = immediately preceding the Conversion Date) Shares

Conversion Price

Where:

Conversion Date means the date specified in the Conversion Notice applicable to that Note.

Conversion Notice means in respect of a Convertible Note, a notice given by a Noteholder substantially in the form set out in the Conversion Note Deed.

Conversion Price means A$0.252.

Exchange Rate means

  • 1 the US dollar to Australian dollar exchange rate, published by the Reserve Bank of Australia on its website; or

  • 2 if that rate is not published, then the average of the US dollar to Australian dollar exchange rate as quoted by any two major Australian trading banks selected by the Company in good faith and on a consistent basis,

on the day on which the Exchange Rate is to be determined or, if the Exchange Rate is to be determined on a day that is not a day on which banks are open for business in Sydney, New South Wales, then on the immediately preceding day on which banks were open for business in Sydney, New South Wales.

Face Value means US$1.00.

13 Core Lithium | Notice of General Meeting

Outstanding Amount means in respect of a Convertible Note:

  • 1 the Face Value of that Convertible Note; and

  • 2 the accrued and unpaid interest from time to time payable by the Company in respect of the Convertible Note under the Convertible Note Deed.

Note that the Conversion Price may be adjusted pursuant to the adjustment rules in the Convertible Note Deed. Refer to Section 1.1 and Annexure 1 of this Notice for further details on the Convertible Notes.

Dilution and effect on capital structure

The issue of the Convertible Notes will have a diluting effect on the interests of existing Shareholders if the Convertible Notes are converted and Shares are issued to the Noteholders.

For illustrative purposes only, the below tables show worked examples of the number of Conversion Shares that may be issued on conversion of the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes, Tranche 2 Convertible Notes and the Convertible Notes in aggregate at various A$:US$ exchange rates (from a base exchange rate assumption of A$1:US$0.70) and in circumstances where 25%, 50% and 100% of the relevant Convertible Notes are converted.

Dilution to shareholders is expressed as the increase of Shares over the existing Shares on issue (being, 2,916,453,409 Shares) as at the date of this Notice, assuming conversion of all Convertible Notes into Shares prior to the maturity date.

4.3 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and is set out in Section 2.2 above.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 (as 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% Placement Capacity 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.

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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval of the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 so that it does not use up any of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity. If Shareholders ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, any Conversion Shares that are issued will fall within an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 (specifically Listing Rule 7.2, exception 9) and will not require any further Shareholder approval prior to such issue.

If Resolution 3 is passed and the issue of 25,926,821 Tranche 1 Convertible Notes is ratified, the Convertible Notes and any Conversion Shares that are issued will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, 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 Resolution 3 is not passed, the Tranche 1 Convertible Notes and any Conversion Shares that are issued will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, 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.

5. Resolution 4 – Approval to issue Tranche 2 Convertible Notes

5.1 General

As noted in Section 1.1 above, the Company proposes to issue 44,073,179 Tranche 2 Convertible Notes, subject to Shareholder approval.

It is proposed that the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes will be issued as follows:

  • (a) 24,073,179 Tranche 2 Convertible Notes to be issued to InfraVia (or its nominee) to raise approximately A$34.03 million (being the A$ equivalent of US$24,073,179[7] as at the date of this Notice); and

  • (b) 20,000,000 Tranche 2 Convertible Notes to be issued to Glencore (or its nominee) to raise approximately A$27.7 million (being the A$ equivalent of US$20,000,000[8] (minus the original issue discount of US$400,000)).

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes to InfraVia and Glencore (or their nominees) in the amounts set out above, in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Note Deeds.

Refer to Section 4.2 for further details in relation to conversion of the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes, including the potential dilution of the interests of existing Shareholders. Refer to Section 1.1 for further details of the Convertible Notes. A summary of the material terms of the Convertible Notes and the Convertible Note Deeds are set out Annexure 1 to this Notice.

Resolution 4 is an Ordinary Resolution.

5.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 2.2 above.

The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes falls within the exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 17) and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1. Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 17) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities which is conditional upon prior Shareholder approval approving the issue under Listing Rule 7.1 before the issue is made. If an entity relies on this exception, it must not issue the securities without such approval. The Convertible Note Deeds contain a condition precedent which requires Shareholder approval of the issue of the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes for all purposes, including (without limitation) for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to issue the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

7 Based on an exchange rate of A$/US$ 0.7074.

8 Based on an exchange rate of A$/US$ 0.7074.

17 Core Lithium | Notice of General Meeting

If Shareholders approve the issue of the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, any Conversion Shares that are issued will fall within an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 (specifically Listing Rule 7.2, exception 9) and will not require any further Shareholder approval prior to such issue.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of 44,073,179 Tranche 2 Convertible Notes. In addition, the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes and any Conversion Shares that are issued will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity. This effectively increases the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2

Convertible Notes and the Company:

  • (a) may need to renegotiate the terms of the Convertible Notes with the Noteholders and may be required to seek Shareholder approval subsequently, which will have time and cost implications for the Company; and

  • (b) will not be able to raise additional funds from issuing the Tranche 2 Convertible Notes and may seek to raise them from alternate sources.

Additionally, and as noted above, Resolutions 2 (Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares) is conditional on Resolution 4 (Approval to issue Tranche 2 Convertible Notes) being passed by Shareholders. Accordingly, if Resolution 4 is not passed by Shareholders, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares as contemplated by Resolution 2, regardless of whether Resolution 2 is passed by Shareholders.

6. Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 – Issue of Director Shares to Mr Paul Brown, Ms Alicia Sherwood and Mr Malcolm McComas

10 Based on an exchange rate of A$/US$ 0.7074.

19 Core Lithium | Notice of General Meeting

(together, the Director Shares ), in each instance conditional upon the approval of Shareholders.

Under the Listing Rules, the Director Shares applied for by Mr Paul Brown, Ms Alicia Sherwood and Mr Malcolm McComas (as related parties of the Company) cannot be issued to them without the prior approval of Shareholders.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue up to:

  • (a) 2,380,952 Director Shares to Mr Paul Brown (and/or their nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 5;

  • (b) 238,095 Director Shares to Ms Alicia Sherwood (and/or their nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 6; and

  • (c) 238,095 Director Shares to Mr Malcolm McComas (and/or their nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 7.

Resolutions 5 to 7 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Shares to each relevant Director for all purposes, including Listing Rule 10.11.

The Director Shares will be offered on the same terms and conditions (including an issue price of A$0.21) as the terms and conditions offered to other investors in the Placement.

Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 are Ordinary Resolutions.

6.2 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c); or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains shareholder approval.

The issue of the Director Shares to Mr Paul Brown, Ms Alicia Sherwood and Mr Malcolm McComas (and/or their nominee((s) falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Mr Paul Brown, Ms Alicia Sherwood and Mr Malcolm McComas are all Directors and therefore a related party of the Company. Further, the proposed issue of the Director Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12.

Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for issues of equity securities that have received shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, and provided that Resolutions 5 to 7 are approved by Shareholders, the issue of the Director Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity.

Resolutions 5 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 2,380,952 Director Shares to Mr

Paul Brown under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 238,095 Director Shares to Ms Alicia Sherwood (and/or their nominee((s) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

20 Core Lithium | Notice of General Meeting

Resolution 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 238,095 Director Shares to Mr Malcolm McComas (and/or their nominee((s) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 5, 6 or 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Shares to the relevant Director, specifically:

6.4 Position under the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that, in order to give a 'financial benefit' to a 'related party' (including Mr Paul Brown, Ms Alicia Sherwood and Mr Malcolm McComas, as Directors), the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months of receiving such approval,

unless the benefit falls within one of the various exceptions to the general prohibition set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

One such exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that Shareholder approval is not needed to give a financial benefit on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and Mr Paul Brown, Ms Alicia Sherwood and Mr Malcolm McComas, respectively, were transacting at arm's length.

The conditional issue of:

  • (a) 2,380,952 Director Shares to Mr Paul Brown;

  • (b) 238,095 Director Shares to Ms Alicia Sherwood; and

  • (c) 238,095 Director Shares to Mr Malcolm McComas,

was arranged in conjunction with the Placement, and the issue price and other terms of the issue to each of these Directors are the same as the terms on which institutional and sophisticated investors participated in the Placement at arm's length.

On the basis of these circumstances, the Directors (other than Mr Paul Brown, Ms Alicia Sherwood and Mr Malcolm McComas) consider that the arm's length terms exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of Director Shares to Mr Paul Brown, Ms Alicia Sherwood and Mr Malcolm McComas and that, accordingly, it is not necessary to seek Shareholder approval of the issue under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

6.5 Board recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Paul Brown) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 and advise that they intend to vote any Shares that they own or control in favour of Resolution 5.

Mr Paul Brown has an interest in Resolution 5 and therefore abstains from making a recommendation in relation to Resolution 5.

The Directors (other than Ms Alicia Sherwood) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6 and advise that they intend to vote any Shares that they own or control in favour of Resolution 6.

Ms Alicia Sherwood has an interest in Resolution 6 and therefore abstains from making a recommendation in relation to Resolution 6.

The Directors (other than Mr Malcolm McComas) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7 and advise that they intend to vote any Shares that they own or control in favour of Resolution 7.

Mr Malcolm McComas has an interest in Resolution 7 and therefore abstains from making a recommendation in relation to Resolution 7.

The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 where he is duly authorised to do so.
