GENERAL NOTES

The Directors have determined in accordance with Regulations 7.11.37 and 7.11.38 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) that the persons eligible to vote at the Annual General Meeting are those who are registered Shareholders at 4:00pm (WST) on 23 November 2022.

HOW TO VOTE

Shareholders can vote by either:

  • attending the meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or

  • appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the proxy form accompanying this Notice of Meeting and by submitting their proxy appointment and voting instructions in person, by post or by facsimile.

VOTING IN PERSON (OR BY ATTORNEY)

Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and attendance recorded. Attorneys should bring with them an original or certified copy of the power of attorney under which they have been authorised to attend and vote at the meeting.

VOTING BY A CORPORATION

A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.

PROXIES

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote has a right to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of the Shareholder. A proxy need not be a Shareholder and can be either an individual or a body corporate. If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as a proxy, that body corporate will need to ensure that it:

  • appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at the meeting, in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act; and

  • provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative.

If such evidence is not received, then the body corporate (through its representative) will not be permitted to act as a proxy.

A Shareholder that is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If two proxies are appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise, section 249X of the Corporations Act takes effect so that each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder’s votes.

If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit. Should any Resolution, other than those specified in this Notice, be proposed at the meeting, a proxy may vote on that Resolution as they think fit. If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.

Shareholders who return their proxy forms with a direction how to vote but do not nominate the identity of their proxy will be taken to have appointed the Chair of the meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a proxy form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions. A Restricted Voter who is appointed as a proxy will only vote on Resolution 1 and Resolutions 6 to 9 (inclusive) in the circumstances set out in the Notice of Meeting in relation to each of these Resolutions respectively. Shareholders should note that the Chair intends to vote any undirected proxies in favour of all of these Resolutions.

A Proxy Form accompanies this Notice of Meeting and to be effective must be received by no later than 3:00pm WST on 23 November 2022 :

  • Electronically: Submit proxy voting instructions online at www.investorvote.com.au (refer to the enclosed Voting Form) For intermediary online subscribers only (custodians) www.intermediaryonline.com OR

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions. Terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum will, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meaning given to them in the Glossary in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum. The following information should be noted in respect of the various matters contained in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

1. ANNUAL ACCOUNTS AND REPORTS

The first item of the Notice deals with the presentation of the consolidated annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 together with the Directors' Declaration and Report in relation to that financial year and the auditor's report on those financial statements. Appropriate time will be devoted to the consideration of these financial statements and reports of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2022. No Resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.

The Company’s auditor will be in attendance to take questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the auditor’s report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

2. RESOLUTION 1 ADOPTION OF THE REMUNERATION REPORT

The Board is submitting its Remuneration Report to Shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of a non-binding Resolution. The Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report, included in the 2022 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report:

  • explains the Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of Executive Directors and senior executives of the Company;

  • explains the relationship between the Board’s remuneration policy and the Company’s performance;

  • sets out remuneration details for each Director and the senior executives of the Company (who are defined as being key management personnel); and

  • details and explains any performance conditions applicable to the remuneration of Executive Directors and senior executives of the Company.

The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.

If 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (‘spill resolution’) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must offer themselves for re-election. If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the spill resolution, the Company must convene an extraordinary general meeting (‘spill meeting’) within 90 days of the second AGM. All of the Directors who were in office when the relevant Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will (if required) need to stand for re-election at the spill meeting.

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by any person, defined as Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) and their Closely Related Parties. KMP of the Company includes each of the Directors and members of management as described in the Company’s Annual Report.

At the Company’s 2021 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.

The Board considers that its current practices of setting executive and non-executive remuneration are well within normal industry expectations and allows the Company to attract and retain the services of the highly skilled Key Management Personnel that it requires. As such the Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Company’s Remuneration Report at Resolution 1.

If you choose to appoint a proxy you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 by either marking For, Against or Abstain on the voting form.

Please note if you appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, the appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies that are able to be voted, in favour of the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Deep Yellow Limited Annual Report 2022 and is also available on the Company’s website (www.deepyellow.com.au).

4. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL OF DEEP YELLOW SHARE PLAN

Pursuant to Resolution 6, the Company is seeking approval to refresh the terms of the employee incentive scheme known as the Deep Yellow Limited Share Plan ( Share Plan ) for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.

The Share Plan seeks to allow the Company to reward and incentivise employees (including Directors who are employees of the Company) and contractors through an arrangement where employees and contractors are offered shares subject to long term performance conditions. The shares are offered at market value such that the incentive is linked to the increase in value over and above the purchase price and so aligns employees to the risks and rewards of a shareholder. The purchase price payable by the participant for the ordinary shares is lent to the participant under a limited recourse loan, with the loan secured against the shares.

Shareholder approval of the Share Plan is being sought to enable the Company to fall within certain Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule exemptions.

Summary of Share Plan

A summary of the terms of the Share Plan is set out in Annexure B.

Regulatory Requirements - Corporations Act

Security over shares

Section 259B(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) prohibits a company from taking security over its own shares, except as permitted by section 259B(2). Section 259B(2) of the Corporations Act states that a company may take security over shares in itself under an employee share scheme which has been approved by a resolution passed at a general meeting of the company.

9

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

If a loan is made to a participant to acquire shares under the Share Plan, until the loan is repaid in full, the Company will have a lien over all the shares held by the participant to which the loan relates, all dividends and other amounts paid or payable on those Shares, and all securities issued in respect of those Shares as part of a bonus or entitlement issue. The Board may also determine under the Share Plan that a participant give a mortgage over the shares as security for the loan.

Financial Assistance

Section 260A of the Corporations Act states that a company may financially assist a person to acquire shares in the company if the assistance is exempt under section 260C. Section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act provides that financial assistance is exempt from section 260A if it is given under an employee share scheme which has been approved by a resolution passed at a general meeting of the company.

If a loan is made to an employee to acquire shares under the Share Plan, the loan will constitute financial assistance for the purposes of that provision.

Resolution 6 is being put to shareholders for the Share Plan to be approved by shareholders for the purposes of section 259B(2) and section 260C(4) of the Corporations Act.

Termination benefits

Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in the company or a related body corporate if the giving of the benefit is approved by shareholders or a statutory exemption applies.

Under the terms of the Share Plan, the Board possesses the discretion to determine that, upon the participant ceasing employment, some or all of the vesting conditions of the participant’s unvested shares will be waived in circumstances where the entitlement to retain those shares would have otherwise lapsed with the cessation of employment.

The exercise of this discretion by the Board may constitute a “benefit” for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act (and ASX Listing Rule 10.19). The Company is therefore seeking shareholder approval for the exercise of the Board’s direction in respect of any current or future participant in the Share Plan. The approval, if obtained, is intended to facilitate the Board’s discretion to determine termination benefits (if any) that may be awarded and, does not of itself, guarantee that any person will receive such termination benefits.

The value of any benefit relating to shares under the Share Plan that may be given to a person in connection with ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office cannot be presently ascertained. However, matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to, affect the calculation of that value include:

  • (a) the date when, and the circumstances in which the person ceases employment;

(b) the number of unvested shares held by the person prior to cessation of employment;

Regulatory Requirements - ASX Listing Rules

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Equity Securities under the Share Plan, as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that issue of Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme within period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of Equity Securities under the scheme is an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under the Share Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12 month period.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 will be reduced each time it issues Equity Securities under the Share Plan to eligible participants unless issued under another exception under Listing Rule 7.2 (for example with Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 where issued to a related party).

In accordance with the requirements ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), the following information is provided in relation to the proposed approval of the Share Plan and the issue of Equity Securities under it:

  • (a) a summary of the terms of the Plan is provided in Annexure B;

  • (b) a total of 24,909,440 Equity Securities have previously been issued under the Share Plan since the Company was last approved by Shareholders on 25 November 2019; and

  • (c) the maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the Share Plan over the three years following Shareholder approval is 36,577,362 (inclusive of the Shares proposed to be granted under Resolutions 7 and 8 to Directors John Borshoff and Gillian Swaby. This maximum is 5% of the Shares currently on issue.

10

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Any future grant issue of Awards 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 ASX Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time. For this reason, the Company is also seeking approval under Resolutions 7 and 8 for the issue of Shares to Directors John Borshoff and Gillian Swaby pursuant to the Share Plan.

Furthermore, under ASX Listing Rule 10.19, unless shareholder approval is obtained, an entity must ensure it does not provide termination benefits to an officer of the entity (or any of its subsidiaries) where the value of the termination benefits that are or may become payable to all officers together, exceeds 5% of the equity interests of the entity (as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX).

Depending upon the value of the termination benefits, and the equity interest of the Company at the time such benefits may crystalize, it is uncertain if such payment would exceed this 5% threshold. Accordingly, shareholder approval is being sought in case the value of the termination benefits exceeds this 5% threshold.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the value of these benefits may be disregarded when determining the cap on termination benefits under ASX Listing Rule 10.19. If Resolution 6 is not passed, the value of these benefits will be included when determining the cap on termination benefits under ASX Listing Rule 10.19.

Resolution 6 is being put to shareholders for the Share Plan to be approved by shareholders for the purposes of Exception 13(b) of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 as well as ASX Listing Rule 10.19.

A voting exclusion applies to this resolution.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution. The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this resolution.

5. RESOLUTIONS 7 and 8 APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES AND LOAN TO MR J BORSHOFF AND MS G SWABY

Pursuant to Resolutions 7 and 8 the Company is seeking approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 for the proposed issue of ordinary shares to Mr J Borshoff and Ms G Swaby, whom are both Directors, under the Loan Share Plan ( Loan Shares ) and for the proposed loan to Mr J Borshoff and Ms G Swaby to assist them to acquire such shares under the Share Plan, on the terms set out below.

During FY22, the Company engaged an independent remuneration consultant to provide support in relation to the review of the short and long-term incentives(STI, LTI) for FY23 to ensure the incentives remain appropriate for the Company based on the stage of operations and projected growth. The proposed terms of the STI and LTI grants include key changes to further strengthen the link between organisational performance, executive reward and shareholder value. These changes include the following for LTI:

  • Vesting period increased to three years (previously tranche vesting from 1 year for Ms G Swaby)

  • Performance hurdle linked to share price growth (previously approximately 30% service based only)

For STI, no changes in relation to FY22. For the FY23 performance period (for equity grants subject to approval at the 2023 AGM) there will be revised performance metrics reflecting the Company’s stage of operations. Further details will be provided in the FY23 Annual Report.

The Board considers it highly desirable for shareholders if J Borshoff and G Swaby are directly aligned to shareholders through the award of shares under the Share Plan. The Board further believes that the Share Plan is the most appropriate mechanism to deliver this equity component. Loan Shares issued through the Share Plan provides for immediate share ownership, linking a significant proportion of rewards for both executives to ongoing share price performance and returns to shareholders over the period of the vesting period.

Overview of remuneration

J Borshoff is employed as a consultant by Scomac Management Services Pty Ltd (SMS). SMS has been engaged by Deep Yellow to provide consulting services.

In the year to 30 June 2022, under the consulting agreement with SMS, $435,000 was paid a base annual fee and a short term incentive fee (STI) of 25% of the base fee payable in cash ($117,500) and $746,490 in Share Based Payments. All of these amounts are payable for Mr Borshoff’s services as a Director.

Number of The number of shares that J Borshoff receives will be 1,428,464. Shares

The number of shares that G Swaby receives will be 878,251.

Value of The value of the shares has been determined using a Binomial Option Pricing Model for the STI award and Loan Shares Hoadleys Option Pricing Model for the LTI award (See Worked Example below) This model accords with the AASB2 Share Based Payment standard treatment, whereby the Loan Shares are treated as an insubstance option.

  • (ii) each Loan Share has an expiry date as noted, and it is assumed that they will be exercised immediately prior to the expiry date;

  • (iii) the closing price of Shares traded on ASX on 13 October 2022 was $0.785;

  • (iv) a risk-free rate of 3.59% and 3.44% has been adopted for STI purposes for Mr Borshoff and Ms Swaby respectively and 3.59% has been adopted for LTI ;

  • (v) a volatility factor of 90% has been adopted.

The table below sets out the estimated value of the Loan Shares and the estimated financial benefit to be received by Messrs Borshoff and Swaby, applying the above valuation, as at 13 October 2022.

Director Loan Shares Value per

Loan Share Plan in 2016, 1.5 million shares in 2017, 1.8 million shares in 2018, 2.94 million shares in 2019,
3.48 million shares in 2020 and 1.37 million shares in 2021 at an average acquisition cost of $0.352 per

vesting conditions)

All issues under this plan are set out in this table. Other than those issues, no person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 has received securities under the Share Plan.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that shareholder approval is required for an issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the entity during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

However, if approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, approval will not be required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This means that shares issued pursuant to this approval will not use up any part of the 15% capacity available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Additional Regulatory Requirements - ASX Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires a listed entity to obtain shareholder approval for the acquisition of securities under an employee incentive scheme by a director of the entity, an associate of that person or a person whose relationship with the entity or the person referred to under Resolutions 7 and 8 respectively are, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

The proposed issue of Loan Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 10.14 on the assumption that the issue of securities will be satisfied by the issue of new ordinary shares.

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following additional information is provided in relation to Resolutions 7 and 8:

  • Messrs Borshoff and Swaby are Directors and related parties and therefore fall under Listing Rule 10.14.1.

  • details of the current total remuneration package for Messrs Borshoff and Swaby are shown below

Director Salary and fees inclusive of superannuation and the value of share based payments Salary and fees inclusive of superannuation and the value of share based payments
FY2022 FY2023 (Proposed)
Mr John Borshoff $1,298,9901 $1,544,1082
Ms Gillian Swaby $759,8441 $811,9412

1 The amounts shown include $746,490 and $432,394 respectively for the value of share based payments.

2 The amounts shown include $1,074,108 and $484,941 respectively for the value of share based payments assuming Resolution 7 and 8 are passed with the shares issued at the same issue price as assumed in the valuation in this Notice.

14

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

If resolutions 7 and 8 are approved by shareholders the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the respective Loan Shares as outlined. If shareholder approval is not obtained the Loan Shares will not be issued and the Company will need to consider other forms of incentivising the Messrs Borshoff and Swaby.

Details of any securities issued under the scheme will be published in the Company’s annual report relating to a period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under listing rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in the scheme after the resolution is approved and who were not named in the notice of meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.

The Share Plan provides that Shares acquired under the plan may be satisfied by the issue of new shares or the acquisition of shares (whether on-market or off-market). Resolutions 7 and 8 are being put to shareholders to preserve the flexibility for the Company to satisfy the acquisition of shares by J Borshoff and G Swaby by the issue of new shares.

Regulatory Requirements - Corporations Act

The issue of new shares or the acquisition of shares (whether on-market or off-market) under the Share Plan, may constitute the giving of a financial benefit to a related party of the Company, for which member approval is usually required pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act.

There are various exceptions to the requirement for member approval. This includes, in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act, where the benefit is remuneration to a related party as an officer or employee of the Company, and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given:

  • the circumstances of the Company in giving the remuneration; and

  • the related party’s circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment).

The Board is of the view that, given the Shares will be issued or acquired under the Share Plan, and in their determination will be reasonable and in line with commercial fees ordinarily accruing and forming part of a remuneration package, the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act will apply to the issue of the Shares

Accordingly, the Company is not seeking the approval of Shareholders under section 208 of the Corporations Act.

Directors' recommendation

The Board (other than J Borshoff and G Swaby) considers that the proposed issue of shares under the Share Plan is appropriate and is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, as the issue of shares strengthens the alignment of both J Borshoff and G Swaby’s interests with shareholders, and the shares provide a strong link between the reward for executive performance and Company performance over the long term. As the Loan Shares are subject to vesting conditions, if such conditions are not met the Loan Shares will be forfeited.

The Board also considers that obtaining shareholder approval to allow the Company to deal with shares under the Share Plan upon either of J Borshoff and G Swaby ceasing employment in accordance with the Share Plan is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. It will provide the Company with the ability to ensure its ongoing compliance with section 200B of the Corporations Act and with the terms of the issue of those shares.

No recommendation on how to vote on Resolution 7 is made by J Borshoff in light of his direct interest. No recommendation on how to vote on Resolution 8 is made by G Swaby in light of her direct interest.

A voting exclusion applies to this resolution.

The Board (other than J Borshoff and G Swaby) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of resolutions 7 and 8. The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of resolutions 7 and 8.

6. RESOLUTION 9 INCREASE OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FEE POOL

Rule 6.3 of the Constitution requires that the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the Directors (excluding salaries of Executive Directors) from time to time will not exceed the sum determined by the Shareholders in general meeting and the total aggregate fixed sum will be divided between the Directors as the Directors shall determine and, in default of agreement between them, then in equal shares.

Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of Directors’ fees payable to all of its Non-Executive Directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary shares.

The current aggregate remuneration amount was last approved at the Company’s general meeting on 20 November 2009, and details of fees paid to Non-Executive Directors for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 are included in the Remuneration Report.

The total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the Non-Executive Directors is currently set at $450,000. Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval to increase the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the Non-Executive Directors by $300,000 to $750,000.

15

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

The total aggregate fixed sum per annum has been determined in light of the recent merger with Vimy Resources Ltd and after reviewing similar companies listed on ASX and the Directors believe that this level of remuneration is in line with corporate remuneration of similar companies

The total amount of Directors’ fees payable includes superannuation contributions made by the Company for the benefit of Non-Executive directors and any fees which a Non-Executive Director agrees to sacrifice for other benefits on a pre-tax basis. It does not include reimbursement of genuine out-of-pocket expenses, genuine “special exertion” fees paid in accordance with the Company’s Constitution, or securities issues to a Non-Executive Director under Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 with the approval of the Company’s Shareholders.

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.17, set out below are details of all securities issued to existing Non-Executive Directors under Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 with Shareholder approval at any time in the preceding 3 years:

Name Number and type of Securities Approval date Listing Rule
M Greene 26,455 Options(Nil exercise price, expiring1 July2026) 29 November 2021 10.11

vesting, one third vesting on 1 July 2022, 1 July 2023 and 1
July2024
29 November 2021 10.11

The Board has resolved it will cease the practice of issuing equity in addition to fees, and there will otherwise be no increase in individual Non-Executive Director fee remuneration for financial year 2023.

Subject to the passing of Resolution 9, the Company proposes to pay Non-Executive Directors a total of $473,000 in Directors’ fees for the financial year ending 30 June 2023 (not including the accounting expense of Share based payments issued in the prior year to the Chairman).

If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to adequately remunerate its Non-Executive Directors and attract additional Directors if required as the Company continues to grow.

If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company’s Director fee pool from which payments can be made to Non-Executive Directors will remain at the current level of $450,000 per annum which will adversely restrict the Company in its ability to attract experienced Directors.

A voting exclusion statement has been included in the Notice of Meeting.

Due to the Directors’ interest in this Resolution, the Directors make no recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 9 The Chair intends to direct all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 9.

7. RESOLUTION 10 MODIFICATION OF CONSTITUTION

Background

Recent amendments to the Corporations Act provide that a company may only hold a meeting of its members using only virtual technology (that is, there is no physical venue for the meeting) ( Virtual Meeting ) if required or permitted by the company’s constitution.

Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company may modify its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 10 is a special resolution which seeks Shareholder approval to modify the existing Constitution to permit the Company to hold Virtual Meetings of its members.

Resolution 10 will be passed if at least 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote are in favour of Resolution 10. If Resolution 10 is passed by the requisite majority, the Constitution will be modified to insert Rule 5.10 as a new provision of the existing Constitution.

The Directors believe it desirable for the Company to have the flexibility to hold Virtual Meetings of members including due to the potential for future pandemics that prevent physical meetings taking place.

The Directors note that, under section 249S of the Corporations Act:

  • the Company must give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in any Shareholder meeting, including Virtual Meetings;

  • all Shareholder meetings must be held at a time that is reasonable; and

  • virtual meeting technology must be reasonable and allow Shareholders entitled to attend, and who do attend, to exercise orally and in writing any rights they may have to ask questions and make comments.

16

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

A copy of the modified Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website at www.deepyellow.com.au and at the office of the Company. A copy of the modified Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary on +61 (08) 9286 6990. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

Proposed modifications

It is proposed that new Rule 5.10 is inserted into the Constitution as follows:

5.10 Use of technology at general meetings

Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Constitution:

  • (a) subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules:

  • (i) the Company may hold a general meeting using any virtual meeting technology approved by the directors that gives the members (as a whole) a reasonable opportunity to participate and enables them to vote on a show of hands, on a poll or otherwise, as the case may require; and

  • (ii) a meeting conducted using such virtual meeting technology may be:

    • (A) held concurrently at one or more physical venues and using virtual meeting technology; or

    • (B) not held at any specified physical venue and held as a wholly virtual meeting,

and participation in such a meeting will constitute presence as if in person at such a meeting;

  • (b) if the directors elect to use virtual meeting technology for a general meeting of the Company, the directors will determine the type of virtual meeting technology to be used, and the notice of meeting must set out the details of the virtual meeting technology for the general meeting;

  • (c) if before or during a general meeting any technical difficulty occurs such that the members do not have a reasonable opportunity to participate, the chair may:

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

ANNEXURE B

SUMMARY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SHARE PLAN

  1. The Deep Yellow Limited Loan Share Plan ( Share Plan ) is extended to employees of Deep Yellow Limited (the Company ) and its subsidiaries (including a director employed in an executive capacity) and any contractors, or any other person as the Board may in its discretion determine (each a Participant ).

  2. The Board will determine from time to time at its discretion:

  3. a) the purchase price to acquire the ordinary shares, which must not be less than the market value determined under Australian tax legislation ( Purchase Price );

  4. b) whether the shares will be subject to conditions and the terms thereof, including vesting conditions (paragraph 6 below), dealing restrictions (paragraph 7 below) and circumstances in which the Shares can be forfeited (paragraph 8 below); and

  5. c) any other terms or conditions to be attaching to the shares or the invitation to participate in the Plan as the Board considers appropriate.

  6. At the discretion of the Board, the Company may, when making an invitation, offer the Participant a limited recourse loan for the purpose of acquiring shares ( Loan ) on terms and conditions in accordance with the Plan.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Loan will not bear interest.

Unless otherwise specified in an Invitation, the Loan is to be repaid on the first to occur of the following:

  • a) the date specified in the invitation;

  • b) if determined by the Board, any date after the date on which the Participant has been notified by the Company that some or all of the shares have vested under the Plan;

  • c) if the Participant sells some or all vested Shares to which the Loan relates, the date on which the Participant is entitled to receive the proceeds of the sale of those Shares;

  • d) if determined by the Board to be repayable as a result of a Control Event occurring in respect of the Company or the Participant transferring to work for the Company or any of its subsidiaries outside Australia; or

  • e) any material breach by the Participant where the breach is not remedied within 30 days of the Company's notice to the Participant to do so.

Until the Loan is repaid in full, the Company has a lien over all the Shares held by the Participant to which the Loan relates, all dividends and other amounts paid or payable on those Shares, and all securities issued in respect of those Shares as part of a bonus or entitlement issue. The Board may also determine that a Participant give a mortgage over the Shares as security for the Loan.

  1. A Participant may repay all of a Loan at any time in respect of Shares for which all applicable Vesting Conditions have been satisfied.

  2. The Company will apply the after - tax amount of dividends (and other distributions) paid in cash in respect of the Shares towards repayment of the Loan.

  3. At the discretion of the Board, the Company may, when making an invitation, determine that the shares offered will be subject to vesting conditions.

The nature and terms of the Vesting Conditions shall be at the discretion of the Board and may include conditions relating to continuing employment, performance of the Participant or the Company or the occurrence of specific events.

Where the Company or its subsidiaries acquires or divests a material business, the Board may make special rules that apply to Participants in relation to Shares held pursuant to the Plan, including varying Vesting Conditions or deeming a Participant to remain an employee of a Group Company for a specific period.

  1. At the discretion of the Board, the Company may, when making an invitation, determine that the Shares offered will be subject to restrictions on transfer, encumbrances or other dealings ( Dealing ). A Participant must not Deal with Shares acquired under the Plan until the Loan in respect of those Shares has been paid in full (or in the case of a sale, arrangements satisfactory to the Board have been made for the proceeds of sale to be applied towards repayment of the Loan in full) and any further period of Dealing restriction imposed by the Board under the terms of an Invitation has ended.

19

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

  1. At the discretion of the Board, the Company may, when making an invitation, determine that Shares offered may be forfeited in specified circumstances.

  2. Under the Plan, Shares may be forfeited if the vesting conditions are not satisfied. Subject to law, the Board is also able to take action to prevent a Participant obtaining unfair benefits where shares vest as a result of fraud, dishonesty or breach of obligations of any person, a material misstatement of the financial statements of the Company or its subsidiaries, or any other act or omission.

  3. If a Participant ceases employment or a contract for services comes to an end with Deep Yellow Limited, the Participant's unvested shares will be forfeited, unless otherwise determined by the Board. On forfeiture the shares will be either bought back and cancelled or sold on market, any consideration received will be automatically applied to the loan repayment. Any excess disposal proceeds will be retained by the Company (i.e. the Participant will not benefit from the excess). If there is a shortfall (i.e. proceeds less than the loan balance), the proceeds received will be treated as full and complete payment of the loan. The Board may provide for a different treatment of shares on cessation of employment in an invitation.

  4. Loans granted under the Plan will be on a limited recourse basis. If the Participant does not repay the outstanding balance of the Loan when due, the Company may sell the shares on behalf of the Participant. If the amount received on the sale of the shares is less than the outstanding balance of the Loan, the net proceeds of sale will be accepted in full satisfaction of the Loan, and the Participant will have no further liability under the Loan. If a Participant forfeits his or her interest in shares to the Company, the Participant's liability to repay the Loan will be satisfied.

  5. If a takeover or scheme of arrangement for the Company occurs, all the shares will automatically vest, unless otherwise specified in the terms of the invitation.

  6. Subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act and the Company's constitution, the Company in its discretion may buy back shares held by a Participant if the shares are forfeited in accordance with the Plan, the Participant fails to repay the Loan when due, the Participant ceases to be employed by Deep Yellow Limited (where the shares have not been forfeited) or the Participant requests that the Company buy-back those shares. Any forfeited shares or shares the subject of a Loan non-repayment which are bought back will be bought back for the prevailing market price.
