Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.

This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Annual General Meeting. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary or otherwise in the Explanatory Statement.

1. Annual Financial Report

The Corporations Act requires that the annual financial statements, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2024 be tabled at the Meeting. These reports are contained in the 2024 Annual Report which is available on the Company’s website, https://deepyellow.com.au/investor-centre/, by selecting the ‘Annual Reports’ link.

Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity to raise questions on these reports and ask questions of the Auditor.

2. Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report

2.1 Background

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution to approve the Remuneration Report. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report which forms part of the 2024 Annual Report.

The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Board or the Company. Notwithstanding, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when considering the remuneration policy of the Company going forward. On that basis, the Company encourages all Shareholders to cast their votes on Resolution 1.

2.2 Corporations Act Requirements

Section 250R(2) of Corporations Act requires a listed public company put a resolution to its shareholders that the remuneration report set out in the directors’ report for the preceding financial year be adopted. The resolution is advisory only and does not bind the relevant company or its directors.

If 25% or more of votes that are cast on the resolution are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings of a company, its shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a Spill Resolution ) that a further meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the offices of director are vacated (other than the office of managing director) and each such office will be put to a vote.

Deep Yellow Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form

10

==> picture [134 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Corporations Act Requirements (continued)

The Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 did not receive a vote of 25% or more against its adoption at the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting. Accordingly, if 25% or more of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against adoption of the Remuneration Report, it will not result in a Spill Resolution.

A voting prohibition applies to Resolution on the terms set out in the Notice.

2.3 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors decline to make a recommendation as to how Shareholders should vote in respect of Resolution 1 as they each have an interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

3. Resolution 2: Re-Election of Director by Rotation – Gillian Swaby

3.1 Background

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution to approve the re-election of Gillian Swaby as a Director.

Ms Swaby joined the Deep Yellow Board in October 2005 as a Non-Executive Director. Her role changed to that of an Executive Director, on a consulting basis, effective 1 November 2016.

Ms Swaby will retire at the Meeting, and being eligible, submits herself for re-election. If Resolution 2 is not passed, Ms Swaby will not be re-elected as a Director.

3.2 Listing Rule and Constitutional requirements

Listing Rule 14.5 requires that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting. Clause 6.1(f) of the Company’s Constitution requires one-third of the directors (excluding the managing director) who are not required to retire under clause 6.1(e) each year to stand for re-election.

3.3 Biography

Ms Swaby is an experienced mining executive with a broad skillset across a range of corporate, finance and governance areas.

3.4 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors (other than Gillian Swaby) support the election of Ms Swaby and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Ms Swaby declines to make a voting recommendation noting her interest in the Resolution.

4. Resolutions 3 and 4: Approval of issue of 2024 Loan Shares and provision of Loan to related parties under Loan Share Plan

4.1 Background

The Company operates the Loan Share Plan pursuant to which Eligible Participants (as defined in Schedule 1) may be offered Loan Shares subject to vesting conditions. The purchase price payable by participants for the Loan Shares constitutes a limited recourse loan to the participant, which if required by the Company may be secured against the relevant Loan Shares ( Loan ). The Loan is documented in a Limited Recourse Loan Agreement between the Company and the participant ( Loan Agreement ).

The Board (excluding John Borshoff and Gillian Swaby) considers it highly beneficial to Shareholders for the Company’s Executive Directors to receive a portion of their remuneration as Loan Shares under the Loan Share Plan, as this directly aligns their interests with those of Shareholders. Shares under the Loan Share Plan provide for immediate share ownership, linking a significant proportion of rewards for both Executive Directors to ongoing share price performance and returns to Shareholders over the vesting period.

The Company proposes to offer up to 1,186,066 Loan Shares to Managing Director, John Borshoff, and up to 506,925 Loan Shares to Executive Director, Gillian Swaby, under the Loan Share Plan ( 2024 Loan Shares ). John Borshoff and Gillian Swaby are both Directors and provide services to the Company through their related contracting entities.

This model accords with the AASB2 Share Based Payment standard treatment, whereby the Loan Shares are treated as an in-substance option.

Worked Example

The following variables are assumed for this example:

  • the Loan amount (“exercise price”) for each Loan Share is $1.14;

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

  • the closing price of Shares traded on ASX on 18 September 2024 was $1.16;

  • a risk-free rate of 3.50% has been adopted for STI and LTI purposes for Mr Borshoff and Ms Swaby; and

  • a volatility factor of 70% has been adopted.

The table below sets out the estimated value of the Loan Shares applying the above valuation, as at 18 September 2024 and the potential estimated financial benefit to be received by Mr Borshoff and Ms Swaby, on the assumption all relevant vesting conditions are met.

Section 208 of the Corporations Act (set out in Chapter 2E) requires a public company to obtain the approval of its shareholders before providing a financial benefit to a ‘related party’ of the company for the purposes of the Corporations Act (e.g. a director, an entity controlled by a director), unless giving the financial benefit falls within a prescribed exception. Any financial benefit approved by shareholders must be provided within 15 months of the approval.

The proposed issue of 2024 Loan Shares, and the provision of corresponding Loans, to John Borshoff and Gillian Swaby (or their nominees) under Resolutions 3 and 4 would constitute the giving of a financial benefit for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval is not required to give a financial benefit to a related party of a company in circumstances where the benefit constitutes remuneration which would be reasonable given the company’s and the related party’s circumstances.

The Directors (other than John Borshoff and Gillian Swaby) are of the view that, given the 2024 Loan Shares will be subject to performance and/or service conditions under the Loan Share Plan, and their determination will be reasonable and in line with commercial fees ordinary accruing and forming part of a remuneration package, the reasonable remuneration exception under section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. Therefore, Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act will not be sought.

4.6 Listing Rule Requirements

Listing Rule 10.14 requires an entity to obtain the approval of its shareholders before issuing or agreeing to issue Equity Securities (including Shares) under an employee incentive scheme (e.g. the Loan Share Plan) to a ‘related party’ of the Company for the purposes of the Listing Rules, subject to certain specific exceptions in Listing Rule 10.16.

None of the exceptions apply to the proposed issue of the 2024 Loan Shares under Resolutions 3 and 4. Accordingly, Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 is required.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the 2024 Loan Shares to the Directors, as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of these 2024 Loan Shares will not be included in the calculation of the Company’s 15% issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.8 Directors’ Recommendation

(a) Resolution 3

The Board (excluding John Borshoff and Gillian Swaby) considers that the issue of 2024 Loan Shares and provision of the corresponding Loan to John Borshoff (or his nominee) is appropriate, reasonable, and in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders. The 2024 Loan Shares provide a strong link between the reward for executive performance and Company performance, both short and long-term. The 2024 Loan Shares are subject to vesting conditions which may give rise to their compulsory divestiture should the conditions not be met.

Mr Borshoff has declined to make a recommendation about Resolution 3 as he has a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. ASIC considers that it is good practice for directors to avoid making a recommendation for resolutions about each other's remuneration as there may be a conflict of interest. Whilst Ms Swaby does not have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 3, given it is proposed that she also be issued with 2024 Loan Shares under Resolution 4, she has declined to make a recommendation about Resolution 3 in line with the ASIC guidance.
