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, electronically via the internet 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 their attendance recorded. To be effective a certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the original Power of Attorney, must be received by the Company in the same manner, and by the same time as outlined for proxy forms below.

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.

Voting by proxy

  • A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.

  • The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).

  • A proxy need not be a Shareholder.

  • The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.

  • If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit. However, where a Restricted Voter is appointed as a proxy, the proxy may only vote on Resolutions 1, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 in accordance with a direction on how the proxy is to vote or, if the proxy is the Chair of the Meeting and the appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution

is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

  • 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 who 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. Proxy appointments in favour of the Chair of the Meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used, where possible, to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions. These rules are explained in this Notice.

  • To be effective, proxies must be received by 2.00pm (WST) on Tuesday, 14 November 2023. Proxies received after this time will be invalid.

  • Proxies may be lodged using any of the following methods:

  • by returning a completed Proxy Form by post to:

DEVELOP Global Limited c/- Link Market Services Limited Locked Bag A14 Sydney South NSW 1235 Australia

  • by returning a completed Proxy Form in person to:

  • Link Market Services Limited Parramatta Square Level 22, Tower 6 10 Darcy Street Parramatta NSW 2150

  • by faxing a completed Proxy Form to +61 2 9287 0309;

  • by recording the proxy appointment and voting instructions via the internet at www.investorcentre.linkgroup.com. Only registered Shareholders may access this facility and will need their Holder

9

Identification Number ( HIN ) or Securityholder Reference Number ( SRN ).

  • The Proxy Form must be signed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder's attorney. Proxies given by corporations must be executed in accordance with the Corporations Act. Where the appointment of a proxy is signed by the appointer's attorney, a certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the power itself, must be received by the Company at the above address, or by facsimile, and by 2.00pm (AWST) on Tuesday, 14 November 2023. If facsimile transmission is used, the Power of Attorney must be certified.

Shareholders who are entitled to vote

In accordance with paragraphs 7.11.37 and 7.11.38 of the Corporations Regulations, the Board has determined that a person's entitlement to vote at the Annual General Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the Register of Shareholders as at 4.00pm (AWST) on Tuesday, 14 November 2023.

1 Resolution 1 – Non Binding Resolution to adopt Remuneration Report

1.1 Background

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to put to its Shareholders a resolution that the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2023 Annual Report be adopted. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report and is also available on the Company’s website www.develop.com.au.

The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the second Annual General Meeting ( Spill Resolution ), to approve calling a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must then convene a Spill Meeting within 90 days of the second Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors

11

who were in office when the applicable Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors.

The remuneration report for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 did not receive a vote of more than 25% against its adoption at the Company’s last annual general meeting held on 29 November 2022. Accordingly, if at least 25% of the votes cast on this Resolution are against adoption of the Remuneration Report it will not result in the Company putting a Spill Resolution to Shareholders.

The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors, sets out remuneration details for each Director and any service agreements and sets out the details of any equity based compensation.

The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

1.2 Voting

Note that a voting exclusion applies to this Resolution in the terms set out in the Notice.

Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.

The Chair intends to vote any undirected proxies in favour of the Resolution.

2 Resolution 2 – Election of Ms Justine Magee as a Director

Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

Ms Magee, having been appointed by the Board on 9 May 2023, retires from office in accordance with the requirements of clause 6.2(a) of the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 and submits herself for election in accordance with clause 6.3(a)(i) of the Constitution.

2.4 Independence

The Board considers that Ms Magee, if elected, will continue to be classified as an independent director.

2.5 Board recommendation

The Company confirms it has conducted appropriate checks into Ms Magee’s background and experience and those checks have not revealed any information of concern.

Based on Ms Magee’s relevant experience and qualifications, the members of the Board, in the absence of Ms Magee, support the election of Ms Magee as a director of the Company.

2.6 Voting

Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on the Resolution.

4 Resolution 4 – Ratification of issue of Placement Shares to sophisticated and institutional investors

4.1 Background

As announced to the ASX on 3 July 2023, the Company undertook a fully underwritten $50 million capital raising, which included a share placement of 9,375,000 new Shares in the Company ( Placement Shares ) to sophisticated and institutional investors at an issue price of $3.20 per Placement Share to raise approximately $30 million (before costs) ( Placement ).

The Placement was conducted in connection with the Company’s proposed acquisition of 100% of the shares in Essential Metals Limited (ASX: ESS) ( Essential ) by way of scheme of arrangement ( Scheme ).

As noted in that announcement, the Company intends to use the funds from the capital raising (including the Placement) for the following purposes:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • subject to completion of the Scheme, to pay stamp duty;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • subject to completion of the Scheme, to accelerate the development of the Pioneer Dome project, including drilling, metallurgical tests, approvals and updated economic and mining studies;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • to prepare for the resumption of production at the Company’s Woodlawn project, including ongoing underground capital development;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • to undertake further drilling at the Company’s Woodlawn project to continue growing inventory for the life of mine plan; and

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

to pay transaction costs for the capital raising.

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.

The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s 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 the Company issued the Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a 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 and therefore seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If this Resolution is passed, the Placement Shares 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 the Company issued the Placement Shares.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can

14

issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date the Company issued the Placement Shares.

The following information in relation to the Shares the subject of the Placement is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors and other investors qualifying under s 708 of the Corporations Act, each of which is an unrelated party of the Company. The placees were selected following a bookbuild process by the lead manager and sole underwriter to the Placement, Canaccord Genuity (in conjunction with the Company). In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that no related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties were issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • 9,375,000 Placement Shares were issued;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Placement Shares issued were fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary Shares on issue;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Placement Shares were issued on 12 July 2023;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Placement Shares were issued at an issue price of $3.20 each;

==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Placement Shares were issued for the purposes set out in the Company’s announcement released on 3 July 2023, and the Company intends to use the funds from the capital raising (including the Placement) for the following purposes:

  • (i) subject to completion of the Scheme, to pay stamp duty;

  • (ii) subject to completion of the Scheme, to accelerate the development of the Pioneer Dome project, including drilling, metallurgical tests, approvals and updated economic and mining studies;

  • (iii) to prepare for the resumption of production at the Company’s Woodlawn project, including ongoing underground capital development;

  • (iv) to undertake further drilling at the Company’s Woodlawn project to continue growing inventory for the life of mine plan; and

  • (v) to pay transaction costs for the capital raising.

5 Resolution 5 – Grant of Sign-on Options to Ms Justine Magee (or her nominee(s))

5.1 Background

As announced to the ASX on 9 May 2023, the Company proposes to grant a total of up to 100,000 Options in the Company to Ms Justine Magee (or her nominee(s)), with each Option having an exercise price of $4.38 and an expiry date of 3 years from the date of issue ( Sign-on Options ) . As indicated in that announcement, the proposed grant of the Sign-on Options forms part of Ms Magee’s

15

remuneration package and is subject to Shareholder approval (for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11).

The grant of equity-based incentives such as the Sign-on Options is designed to enable the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified non-executive directors. In particular, the Board considers the grant of the Sign-on Options reasonable in the circumstances, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.

The number of Sign-on Options to be granted to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) has been determined based upon a consideration of:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the remuneration of the Directors;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the extensive experience and reputation of Ms Magee within the finance and mining industry;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the current price of Shares;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Directors’ wish to ensure that the remuneration offered is competitive with market standards or/and practice. The Directors consider that the grant of the Sign-on Options will ensure that Ms Magee’s overall remuneration is in line with market practice;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the need to attract and retain suitably qualified non-executive Directors; and

==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the need to ensure continuity of service of non-executive Directors who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.

The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Sign-on Options upon the terms proposed.

5.2 Related Party Transactions Generally

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, Ms Magee is a related party of the Company.

The Resolution relates to the proposed grant of Sign-on Options to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)), which is a financial benefit that requires Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act (unless a relevant exception applies).

Shareholder approval is not being sought for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act on the basis that the benefits are considered by the Board (in the absence of Ms Magee) to constitute reasonable remuneration for the performance of services by Ms Magee, and therefore, the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies to this resolution. Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act in circumstances where the benefit constitutes remuneration which would be reasonable given the Company’s and the related party’s circumstances.

16

5.3 Total remuneration package

Ms Magee’s fees per annum (excluding superannuation) and the total financial benefit to be received by her in the FY24 period, as a result of the grant of the Sign-on Options the subject of the Resolution, are as follows:

Director Fees p.a.
($)
Maximum value of
Sign-on Options ($)
Total Financial
Benefit ($)
Ms Magee $76,000 $172,000 $248,000

The indicative valuation of $1.72 is a theoretical valuation of each Sign-on Options using the Black – Scholes Model. See paragraph 5.4.

5.4 Valuation of Sign-on Options

The Company has valued the Sign-on Options to be granted to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) using the Black – Scholes Model. The value of a Sign-on Options calculated by the Black – Scholes Model is a function of a number of variables. The valuation of the Sign-on Options has been prepared using the following assumptions:

Variable Input
Share price $3.46
Exercise price $4.380
Risk Free Interest Rate 3.950%
Volatility 68%
Time (years to expiry) 4 years (5 May 2023 to 5 May 2027)

The Company has calculated the value of each Sign-on Options based on the following assumptions:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the underlying value of each Share in the Company is based on the ASX closing price of $3.46 on 30 June 2023;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • risk free rate of return – 3.950%; and

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • volatility of the Share price of 68%.

Any change in the variables applied in the Black – Scholes calculation between the date of the valuation and the date the Sign-on Options are granted would have an impact on their value.

Based on the assumptions, it is considered that the estimated average value of the Sign-on Options to be granted to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) is $1.72 per Sign-on Option.

5.5 Directors’ recommendation

All of the Directors were available to make a recommendation.

The Directors (other than Ms Magee) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution. Ms Magee declines to make a recommendation about the Resolution as she has a material personal interest in the outcome of this particular Resolution as it relates to the proposed grant of Sign-on Options to her or her nominee(s)). The Board is not aware of any other information that would

17

reasonably be required by the Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution.

5.6 Information Requirements – Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.13

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to:

  • a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the Company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the Company and who has nominated a Director to the Board pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • an Associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5),

unless it obtains the approval of its Shareholders.

The proposed grant of Sign-on Options to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) pursuant to the Resolution falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue and grant the Sign-on Options to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) as noted above.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue and will not grant the Sign-on Options to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) and the Company may need to consider alternative ways to remunerate Ms Magee, including by the payment of cash.

The following further information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Sign-on Options will be granted to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) as noted above;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Ms Magee is a Director of the Company, and is therefore a Listing Rule 10.11.1 party;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • up to 100,000 Sign-on Options will be granted to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s));

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Ms Magee is a Director of the Company and the issue the subject of this Resolution is intended to remunerate or incentivise Ms Magee (through the right to acquire Shares underlying the Sign-on Options), whose current total remuneration package is set out above in paragraph 5.3;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the material terms and conditions of the Sign-on Options are set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum;

==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Sign-on Options will be granted on a date which will be no later than 1 month after the date of this Meeting, unless otherwise extended by way of ASX granting a waiver to the Listing Rules;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Sign-on Options will be granted for no cash consideration;

18

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

no funds will be raised from the grant of the Sign-on Options.

If approval is given for the grant of the Sign-On Options under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

5.7 Voting

Note that a voting exclusion applies to this Resolution in the terms set out in the Notice.

Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on the Resolution.

The Chair intends to vote any undirected proxies in favour of the Resolution.

6 Resolution 6 – Grant of Share Rights to Ms Justine Magee (or her nominee(s)) in lieu of salary

6.1 Background

As noted in the Company’s notice of meeting announced to ASX on 21 April 2023, the Board has implemented an equity-based plan for non-executive Directors pursuant to which non-executive Directors will be able to elect to receive up to 100% of their base fixed annual remuneration, exclusive of superannuation ( NED Base FAR ) in Shares, on a voluntary basis ( NED Share Fee Plan ). The objective of the NED Share Fee Plan is to facilitate the acquisition of Shares in the Company by nonexecutive Directors serving on the Board in a manner that will align their interests with Shareholders and not create any financial or governance concerns for stakeholders. The Board considers it to be good governance for non-executive Directors to not participate in the same equity incentive scheme as Company executives and therefore implemented a separate plan (to the 2023 Plan, or the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan, which has been replaced with the 2023 Plan), being the NED Share Fee Plan.

Also as noted in the Company’s ASX announcement of 21 April 2023:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • each half year, the Company intends to invite each non-executive Director to voluntarily elect to apply for rights to acquire Shares ( Share Rights ) under the NED Share Fee Plan, which will be funded by salary sacrificing a proportion (up to 100%) of that non-executive Directors’ annual Board fees for that half-year;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • while the Company intends to issue invitations half yearly, the Board will determine at its sole discretion each year whether to issue an invitation;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Share Rights will be granted in half yearly instalments (each half of a financial year being a Relevant Period ). The initial period for which the Share Rights will be granted is from 1 January 2024 until 30 June 2024 ( Initial Period ).

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • non-executive Directors will receive Share Rights during the 3 years following the relevant meeting at which Shareholder approval is obtained to issue those Share Rights (i.e. the period for which this approval is valid);

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the total number of Share Rights to be issued to the non-executive Directors on any issue date (and accordingly, in total over the 3-year period) will be based on a valuation of Share Rights conducted at the commencement of the Relevant Period using the 5-day VWAP for the 5 days prior to the commencement of the Relevant Period (i.e. the last 5 days of the preceding Relevant Period). Accordingly, the exact number of Share Rights to be granted for each Relevant Period (other than the Initial Period) is unknown as at the date of this Notice.

The Company notes that the Company previously obtained Shareholder approval for Mr Blakiston and Ms In’t Veld to receive Share Rights under the NED Share Fee Plan on the terms and conditions set

19

out in the Company’s ASX announcement of 21 April 2023. This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for Ms Magee to receive Share Rights under the NED Share Fee Plan on the terms and conditions set out in this Explanatory Memorandum.

The purpose of the issue of the Share Rights is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Ms Magee to align the interests of Ms Magee with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward her performance in her roles as a non-executive Director and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate Ms Magee, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Ms Magee.

6.2 Number of Share Rights

Subject to Shareholder approval, the number of Share Rights that will be granted to a non-executive Director for the Relevant Period (by way of example) will be calculated as follows:

𝑆𝑅=[𝑁𝐸𝐷 𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝐹𝐴𝑅] 𝑉𝑊𝐴𝑃

Where:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • SR = aggregate number of Share Rights to which the non-executive Director is entitled to and has elected to be issued for the Relevant Period;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • NED Base FAR = the relevant non-executive Director’s total fixed annual base remuneration for the Relevant Period; and

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • VWAP = the volume weighted average price of Shares traded on the ASX calculated over the 5 trading days immediately preceding the commencement of the Relevant Period.

Any fractional entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. Set out below is the maximum number of Share Rights that would be issued for the Relevant Period pursuant to this Resolution, based on the current remuneration package of Ms Magee and the 5-day VWAP to 30 June 2023 of $3.31.

Director Fees p.a. (exclusive
of superannuation)
($) (half-yearly)
Maximum value of
Share Rights (half-
yearly)
Maximum number of
Share Rights (half-
yearly)
Ms Magee $38,000 $38,000 11,480

The purpose of the issue of the NED Fee Rights is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the non-executive Directors to align the interests of the NEDs with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the non-executive Directors in their roles as Directors and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate the non-executive Directors, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the non-executive Directors.

6.3 Related Party Transactions Generally

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or

20

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, Ms Magee is a related party of the Company.

In relation to this Resolution, the Board (excluding Ms Magee) has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of Share Rights as the issue of the Share Rights for each Relevant Period, in lieu of up to 100% of Ms Magee’s base cash salary for that Relevant Period, is reasonable remuneration for the purposes of sections 210 and 211 of the Corporations Act. This is because the Share Rights represents Ms Magee forgoing the cash payment of salary to which she is entitled (where those fees are within the approved pool of Directors’ fees) (for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act) and which was negotiated on an arms’ length basis (for the purposes of section 210 of the Corporations Act).

6.4 Total remuneration package

Ms Magee’s fees (including superannuation) for the Initial Period is set out in paragraph 6.2 above. These fees may be adjusted annually (eg, for inflation).

Ms Magee’s fees per annum (including superannuation) is set out above in paragraph 5.3;

6.5 Value of Share Rights

The maximum value of the Share Rights is for the Initial Period is $38,000 (being 100% of Ms Magee’s base fixed remuneration for the Initial Period).

As noted above, Ms Magee will receive Share Rights during the 3 years following this Meeting if this Resolution is passed. The maximum value for the Share Rights for each Relevant Period after the Initial Period, up to 3 years following this Meeting, will be equal to 100% of Ms Magee’s base fixed remuneration for that particular Relevant Period.

6.6 Directors’ recommendation

All the Directors were available to make a recommendation.

The Directors (other than Ms Magee) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution. Ms Magee declines to make a recommendation about the Resolution as she has a material personal interest in the outcome of this particular Resolution as it relates to the proposed grant of Share Rights to her or her nominee(s)). The Board is not aware of any other information that would reasonably be required by the Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution.

6.7 Information Requirements – Listing Rules 10.14 and 10.15

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that the Company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • a director of the Company (Listing Rule 10.14.1);

  • an Associate of a director of the Company (Listing Rule 10.14.2); or

  • a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its Shareholders (Listing Rule 10.14.3),

unless it obtains the approval of its Shareholders.

21

The proposed grant of Share Rights to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) pursuant to the Resolution falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Share Rights to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) under the NED Share Fee Plan within three years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Share Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Share Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not grant the Share Rights to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) under the NED Share Fee Plan and the Company may need to consider alternative ways to remunerate Ms Magee, including by the payment of cash.

The following further information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Share Rights will be granted to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) as noted above;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Ms Magee is a Director of the Company, and is therefore a Listing Rule 10.14.1 party;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the maximum number of Share Rights to be issued to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) will be determined by the VWAP of the Shares measured over the 5 days prior to the commencement of the Relevant Period. Accordingly, the exact number of Shares to be issued to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) is unknown as at the date of this Notice, however the value of the Share Rights that may be issued to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) for each Relevant Period will not exceed 100% of her annual salary for the Relevant Period which, for the Initial Period, is $38,000 (exclusive of superannuation). The maximum number of Share Rights will be calculated in accordance with the formula set out above in paragraph 6.2 and disclosed in the Company’s annual reports. One Share will be issued, allocated or transferred to Ms Magee (or her nominee(s)) on exercise of each one Share Right;

  • the number of Shares Rights previously issued to non-executive Directors under the NED Share Fee Plan (as approved by Shareholders at the general meeting of the Company held on 25 May 2023) is 21,724.

==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the terms and conditions of the Share Rights are set out in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • (i) the Share Rights represent Ms Magee foregoing the cash payment of fees to which they she entitled (where those fees are within the Shareholder approved pool of Directors’ fees);

  • (ii) to provide a cost-effective way for the Company to remunerate Ms Magee, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Ms Magee;

  • (iii) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to Ms Magee in respect of an issue of Share Rights is also beneficial to the Company as it means Ms Magee is not required to

22

immediately sell the Share Rights to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; and

  • (iv) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Share Rights on the terms proposed,

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • as noted above in paragraph 6.5, the maximum value of the Share Rights for Initial Period is equal to $38,000 (being 100% of Ms Magee’s base fixed remuneration for the Initial Period).

  • 7 Resolution 7 – Grant of FY2024 STI Performance Rights to Mr Bill Beament (or his nominee(s))

7.1 Background

The Board implements a short term incentive awards scheme, pursuant to which key management personnel (excluding non-executive Directors) will be entitled to short-term incentives ( STIs ), to be issued pursuant to the Company’s 2023 Plan. As the Company’s Managing Director, Mr Bill Beament is eligible to participate in the STI arrangements offered by the Company, being the opportunity to obtain an STI award through the issue of performance rights which may be satisfied (at the election of the Board) through the issue of Shares upon the exercise of the Performance Rights, payment of cash or a combination of both, subject to Shareholder approval being received.

The Company proposes to grant a total of up to 105,836 Performance Rights in respect of the period which commenced on 1 July 2023 and will end on 30 June 2024 to Mr Beament (or his nominee(s)), each with a nil exercise price and an expiry date of 5 years from the date of issue ( FY2024 STI Performance Rights ) under the 2023 Plan. The FY2024 STI Performance Rights represents Mr Beament’s STIs for that period, being 100% of his base fixed remuneration.

23

The grant of FY2024 STI Performance Rights encourages Mr Beament to have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company’s objectives and to provide an incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through Share ownership. Under the Company’s current circumstances, the Directors consider (in the absence of Mr Beament) that the incentives intended for Mr Beament represented by the grant of these FY2024 STI Performance Rights are a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide a reward and an incentive, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as the payment of additional cash compensation.

The number of FY2024 STI Performance Rights to be granted to Mr Beament (or his nominee(s)) has been determined based upon a consideration of:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the remuneration of the Directors;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the extensive experience and reputation of Mr Beament within the mining industry;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the current price of Shares;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Directors’ wish to ensure that the remuneration offered is competitive with market standards or/and practice for managing directors. The Directors have considered the proposed number of FY2024 STI Performance Rights to be granted and will ensure that Mr Beament’s overall remuneration is in line with market practice;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • attracting and retaining suitably qualified managing directors; and

==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of managing directors who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves. The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the FY2024 STI Performance Rights upon the terms proposed.

7.2 Related Party Transactions Generally

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, Mr Beament is a related party of the Company.

In relation to this Resolution, the Board (excluding Mr Beament) has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of FY2024 STI Performance Rights as the issue, which forms part of the remuneration package for Mr Beament, is considered reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.

7.3 Total remuneration package

Mr Beament’s fees per annum (including superannuation) and the total financial benefit to be received by him in this current period, as a result of the grant of the FY2024 STI Performance Rights the subject of the Resolution, is as follows:

24

Director Fees p.a.
($)
Maximum value of
FY2024 STI
Performance Rights
($)
Total Financial
Benefit ($)
Mr Beament $350,000 $251,890 $601,890

The indicative valuation of $2.38 per FY2024 STI Performance Right is a theoretical valuation of each FY2024 STI Performance Right using the Monte Carlo Model. See section 7.4 below.

7.4 Valuation of FY2024 STI Performance Rights

The Company has valued the FY2024 STI Performance Rights using the Monte Carlo Model. The value of a FY2024 STI Performance Right calculated by the Monte Carlo Model is a function of a number of variables. The valuation of the FY2024 STI Performance Rights has been prepared using the following assumptions:

Variable Input
Share price $3.15
Exercise price Nil
Risk Free Interest Rate 3.95%
Volatility 68%
Time (years to expiry) 5 years (1 July 2023 to 30 June 2028)

The Company has calculated the value of each FY2024 STI Performance Right based on the following assumptions:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the underlying value of each Share in the Company is based on the ASX closing price of A$3.15 on 19 September 2023;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • risk-free rate of return – 3.95%; and

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • volatility of the Share price of 68%.

Any change in the variables applied in the Monte Carlo calculation between the date of the valuation and the date the FY2024 STI Performance Rights are granted would have an impact on their value.

Based on the assumptions, it is considered that the estimated average value of the FY2024 STI Performance Rights proposed to be granted to Mr Beament (or his nominee(s)) is $2.38 per FY2024 STI Performance Right.

7.5 Directors’ recommendation

All the Directors were available to make a recommendation.

The Directors (other than Mr Beament) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution. Mr Beament declines to make a recommendation about the Resolution as he has a material personal interest in the outcome of this particular Resolution as it relates to the proposed grant of FY2024 STI Performance Rights to him or his nominee(s). The Board is not aware of any other information that would reasonably be required by the Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution.

25

7.6 Information Requirements – Listing Rules 10.14 and 10.15

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that the Company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • a director of the Company (Listing Rule 10.14.1);

  • an Associate of a director of the Company (Listing Rule 10.14.2); or

  • a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its Shareholders (Listing Rule 10.14.3),

unless it obtains the approval of its Shareholders.

The proposed grant of FY2024 STI Performance Rights to Mr Beament (or his nominee(s)) pursuant to the Resolution falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will grant FY2024 STI Performance Rights to Mr Beament (or his nominee(s)) as noted above.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not grant FY2024 STI Performance Rights to Mr Beament (or his nominee(s)) and the Company may need to consider alternative ways to remunerate Mr Beament, including by the payment of cash.

The following further information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15:

  • the FY2024 STI Performance Rights will be granted to Mr Beament (or his nominee(s)) as noted above;

  • the Company has chosen to issue the FY2024 STI Performance Rights for the following reasons:

  • (i) the FY2024 STI Performance Rights form part of the remuneration package for Mr Beament, and do not represent an increase in the value of, or additional financial benefits to be provided as part of, the remuneration package for Mr Beament;

  • (ii) the FY2024 STI Performance Rights are considered to be a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide a reward and an incentive for Mr Beament, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as the payment of additional cash compensation;

8 Resolution 8 – Approval of potential termination benefit in relation to proposed grant of FY2024 STI Performance Rights to Mr Bill Beament (or his nominee(s))

8.1 Background

Subject to the passing of Resolution 7, up to 105,836 FY2024 STI Performance Rights are proposed to be granted to Mr Bill Beament (or his nominee(s)). A summary of the material terms of the FY2024 STI Performance Rights is set out in Annexure C to this Explanatory Memorandum.

27

The terms of the FY2024 STI Performance Rights include potential termination benefits which may become payable to Mr Beament in connection with his ceasing employment or engagement with the Company as a Director of the Company. This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the giving of those potential termination benefits for all purposes of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.19 as set out in this Explanatory Memorandum.

8.2 Termination benefits payable to Mr Beament

The terms of the FY2024 STI Performance Rights allow for the Board to exercise discretion in the following circumstances:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • discretion to determine that any unvested or vested FY2024 STI Performance Rights will not immediately lapse upon Mr Beament ceasing to be employed or engaged as a Director of the Company; and

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • a general discretion to reduce or waive conditions to the FY2024 STI Performance Rights in whole or in part at any time and in any particular case, which might include the exercise of that discretion in the context of the Mr Beament’s cessation of employment or engagement.

The benefits noted above are in addition to statutory entitlements, any payment in lieu of notice and accrued contractual entitlements, comprised of any outstanding remuneration and any accrued leave entitlements as at the date of termination.

8.3 Sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act

Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act restricts the benefits that can be given to persons who hold a “managerial or executive office” (as defined in the Corporations Act), or persons who have in the 3 years before their termination held a managerial or executive office, on leaving their employment with the Company or ceasing to be appointed as a director of the Company or any of its related bodies corporate, unless an exception applies.

Section 200B of the Corporations Act applies to managerial or executive officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which will include Mr Beament.

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

The term "benefit" has a wide operation and would include the exercise of Board discretion in the circumstances noted above upon termination or cessation of employment in accordance with their terms (including the terms of the 2023 Plan under which they are offered).

Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of section 200E of the Corporations Act to allow the Company to deal with the FY2024 STI Performance Rights upon termination or cessation of the employment or engagement of Mr Beament in accordance with the terms and conditions of the FY2024 STI Performance Rights, where to do so would involve giving a “benefit” to Mr Beament in connection with him ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office.

The approval is sought in relation to the FY2024 STI Performance Rights proposed to be granted to Mr Beament (or his nominee(s)) under Resolution 7.

The value of any benefit relating to the FY2024 STI Performance Rights given in connection with Mr Beament ceasing to hold managerial or executive office cannot presently be ascertained. However, matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to, affect the calculation of that value are:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the number of FY2024 STI Performance Rights held by Mr Beament prior to termination or cessation of his employment or engagement;

28

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Mr Beament’s length of service and the status of the vesting conditions attaching to the FY2024 STI Performance Rights at the time his employment or engagement of office ceases;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • whether the vesting conditions are waived or (if not waived) met, and the number of FY2024 STI Performance Rights (which could be a portion of or all of the FY2024 STI Performance Rights held by Mr Beament); and

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the market price of the Company’s Shares on ASX on the date Shares are issued to Mr Beament upon exercise of the FY2024 STI Performance Rights.

8.4 Listing Rule 10.19

Shareholder approval of the benefits that may be given to Mr Beament by virtue of the exercise of Board discretion under the terms of the FY2024 STI Performance Rights as set out above upon termination or cessation of Mr Beament’s office is also sought under Listing Rule 10.19.

Listing Rule 10.19 provides that without shareholder approval, an entity must ensure that no officer of the entity or any of its child entities will be, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the termination benefits that are or may become payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the entity as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules ( 5% Threshold ). Accordingly, Shareholder approval is being sought on the basis that, if Resolution 7 is passed, officers of the Company (including Mr Beament) may be entitled to termination benefits under the 2023 Plan which exceed the 5% Threshold.

Depending upon the value of the termination benefits (see above), and the equity interests of the Company at the time such benefits may crystallise, it is uncertain if such payment would exceed the 5% Threshold. In the event of such termination benefits crystallising, the Company will comply with Listing Rule 10.19 if this Resolution is approved by Shareholders.

8.5 Consequences of passing the Resolution

If the Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to give termination benefits which may exceed the 5% Threshold to Mr Beament in connection with Mr Beament ceasing to hold that managerial or executive office in accordance with the rules of the FY2024 STI Performance Rights.

If the Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to give termination benefits to Mr Beament unless:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Company obtains future Shareholder approval under section 200E of the Corporations Act for the giving of the particular termination benefit or another exemption to the restriction in section 200B of the Corporations Act applies; or

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Company obtains future Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.19 or those termination benefits along with termination benefits payable to all officers will not exceed the 5% Threshold.

8.6 Voting

Note that a voting exclusion applies to this Resolution in the terms set out in the Notice.

Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this Resolution.

9 Resolution 9 – Ratification of agreement to issue Option Cancellation Consideration Shares to Essential Optionholders

29

9.1 Background

As announced to ASX on 3 July 2023, the Company and Essential entered into a binding Scheme implementation deed under which the Company proposes to acquire 100% of the issued shares in Essential by way of the Scheme.

If the Scheme is implemented, each shareholder in Essential on the record date for the Scheme will receive 1 new Share for every 6.18 Essential shares held (implying a value for Essential of $0.56 per share based on the Company’s last closing price of $3.46 per share on 30 June 2023).

The Scheme implementation deed is subject to various conditions precedent including:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • approval from the Essential shareholders at a duly convened Scheme meeting;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • regulatory approvals and court approvals;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the independent expert concluding that the Scheme is in the best interests of Essential shareholders and not changing that conclusion prior to completion;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • no material adverse change or prescribed event occurring in relation to either Essential or the Company,

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • in relation to options to acquire shares in Essential ( Essential Options ) on issue, those Essential Options being exercised or cancelled; and

==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • other conditions customary for a transaction of this nature.

Full details of the conditions are set out in clause 3.1 of the Scheme implementation deed annexed to the Company’s announcement to ASX on 3 July 2023.

Relevantly, as noted above, one of the conditions precedent to the completion of the Scheme is that on the second court date of the Scheme, each holder of Essential Options ( Essential Optionholder ) has either:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • exercised the Essential Options;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • agreed to exercise the Essential Options prior to the Scheme record date; or

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • entered into a cancellation deed with the Company and Essential under which the parties agree to cancel all of the Essential Options held by the Essential Optionholders, in exchange for the issue of Scheme consideration in the form of Shares in the Company ( Option Cancellation Deeds ),

so that all Essential Options will either have lapsed, been exercised, or cancelled. Each of the Essential Optionholders are unrelated parties to the Company.

Each Essential Optionholder has entered into Option Cancellation Deeds with the Company and Essential for the purposes of satisfying the above condition precedent to the Scheme. Under the terms of those Option Cancellation Deeds, subject to the Scheme becoming effective, the Company may issue a total of up to 253,780 Shares in the Company to the Essential Optionholders in exchange for the Essential Optionholders agreeing to cancel all of their Essential Options ( Option Cancellation Consideration Shares ). By the time of this Meeting, the Scheme is expected to have completed and the Company is expected to have those Option Cancellation Consideration Shares to the Essential Optionholders.

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.

30

The agreements to issue of the Option Cancellation Consideration Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s 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 the Company entered into the agreements to issue the Option Cancellation Consideration Shares to the Essential Optionholders.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a 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 and therefore seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the agreements to issue the Option Cancellation Consideration Shares to the Essential Optionholders under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If this Resolution is passed, the Option Cancellation Consideration Shares 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 the Company agreed to issue the Option Cancellation Consideration Shares to the Essential Optionholders.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Option Cancellation Consideration Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date the Company agreed to issue the Option Cancellation Consideration Shares to the Essential Optionholders.

The following information in relation to the agreements to issue the Option Cancellation Consideration Shares is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • subject to completion of the Scheme, the Company has agreed to issue the Option Cancellation Consideration Shares to the Essential Optionholders, all of whom are an unrelated party of the Company. In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that, no related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties were issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • subject to completion of the Scheme, the Company has agreed to issue a total of 253,780 Option Cancellation Consideration Shares to the Essential Optionholders:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • subject to completion of the Scheme, the Option Cancellation Consideration Shares are expected to be issued in or around November 2023. The date of issue must be no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • subject to completion of the Scheme, the Option Cancellation Consideration Shares will be issued for nil cash consideration;

==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

10 Resolution 10 – Approval of the 2023 Plan

10.1 Purpose of the 2023 Plan

The Directors considered that it was desirable to establish an updated incentive plan under which persons who are employees or directors of, or individuals who provide services to, a Group Company ( Eligible Employees ) may be offered the opportunity to subscribe for Shares, Options or Performance Rights ( Incentives ) in the Company in order to increase the range of potential incentives available to them and to strengthen links between the Company and its employees and Directors and accordingly adopted the Employee Awards Plan in 2023 ( 2023 Plan ).

The 2023 Plan aligns with the requirements of Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which were introduced in late 2022.

The 2023 Plan is designed to provide incentives to the employees and Directors of the Company and to recognise their contribution to the Company's success. Under the Company's current circumstances, the Directors consider that the proposed incentives under the 2023 Plan to Eligible Employees are a cost effective and efficient incentive for the Company as opposed to alternative forms of incentives such as cash bonuses or increased remuneration. To enable the Company to secure Eligible Employees who can assist the Company in achieving its objectives, it is necessary to provide remuneration and incentives to such personnel. The 2023 Plan is designed to achieve this objective, by encouraging continued improvement in performance over time and by encouraging personnel to acquire and retain significant shareholdings in the Company.

Under the 2023 Plan, the Board may offer to Eligible Employees the opportunity to subscribe for such number of Incentives in the Company as the Board may decide and on the terms set out in the rules of the 2023 Plan, a summary of which is set out in Annexure E to this Explanatory Memorandum and in the offer made to the Eligible Employees under the 2023 Plan. Incentives granted under the 2023 Plan will be offered to Eligible Employees on the basis of the Board’s view of the contribution of that Eligible Employee to the Company.

The maximum number of Incentives proposed to be issued under the 2023 Plan following Shareholder approval is expected to be 9,889,068 Incentives. Once this number is reached, the Company will need to seek fresh approval from Shareholders if the subsequent issue of Incentives is to fall within Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13.

10.2 Shareholder approval requirements

Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) and for all other purposes for the approval of the 2023 Plan and the grant of Incentives under the 2023 Plan.

Shareholder approval is required if any issue of Incentives pursuant to the 2023 Plan is to fall within the exception to the calculation of the 15% limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1 on the number of Equity Securities which may be issued without Shareholder approval. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme that has been approved by the holders of ordinary securities within three years of the date of issue.

32

Prior Shareholder approval will be required before any Director or related party of the Company can participate in the 2023 Plan.

Section 257B(1) of the Corporations Act sets out the procedure for various forms of share buy-backs, including an “employee share buy-back”. In order for the Company to undertake a buy-back of Incentives under the 2023 Plan (for example, if Incentives held by an Eligible Employee become subject to compulsory divestiture in accordance with the 2023 Plan) using this simplified procedure, the 2023 Plan must be approved by Shareholders.

10.3 Information requirements under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b), the following information is provided to Shareholders:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • a summary of the terms of the 2023 Plan is contained in Annexure E to this Explanatory Memorandum;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • a previous employee incentive plan, being the Employee Securities Incentive Plan, was approved by Shareholders on 21 November 2021;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • a total of 5,492,985 Equity Securities have been issued pursuant to the previous employee incentive plan, being the Employee Securities Incentive Plan;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the maximum number of Incentives proposed to be issued under the 2023 Plan under Exception 13(b) to Listing Rule 7.2 following approval of this Resolution is 9,889,068 Incentives; and

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • a voting exclusion statement has been included in the Notice for the purposes of this Resolution.

10.4 Consequences of passing the Resolution

If the Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue Incentives under the 2023 Plan up the maximum number set out in this Notice. In addition, those issues of Incentives will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. In addition, any share buy-back undertaken in accordance with the terms of the 2023 Plan will constitute an “employee share buy-back" for the purposes of the Corporations Act, enabling the Company to undertake a buy-back of Incentives without the need for separate shareholder approval at the time of the buy-back, subject to any applicable limits imposed by the Corporations Act. This would apply to both Incentives currently on issue and any Incentives issued after Shareholder approval is obtained at the Meeting.

If the Resolution is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed to issue Incentives under the 2023 Plan, however the issue of those Incentives will not fall within the exception to the calculation of the 15% limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities which may be issued without Shareholder approval. In addition, the Company will not be able to undertake a share buy-back in relation to the Incentives for the purposes of the Corporations Act without obtaining separate shareholder approval for each buy-back.

The Company has no specific plan to undertake an employee share buy-back in relation to any Incentives currently on issue, however the Resolution provides the Company the authority to do so in an efficient manner if it is necessary to do so in the future.

However, if from time to time on or prior to the Expiry Date the Company makes an issue of new Shares to Shareholders, the Company will announce the issue to ASX prior to the record date in accordance with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules. This will give holders of Sign-on Options the opportunity to exercise their Sign-on Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  • Vesting Conditions : The Share Rights shall vest on the last day of the financial year in which they are granted, conditional upon Ms Magee being employed by the Company at the time of vesting.

  • Notification to holder : The Company shall notify the holder in writing when the relevant Vesting Condition has been satisfied.

  • Conversion : Subject to paragraph (q), upon satisfaction of the Vesting Condition, each Share Right will, at the election of the holder by notice to the Company in writing, convert into one Share.

  • Conversion on change of control : Subject to paragraph (q) below and notwithstanding the relevant Vesting Condition has not been satisfied, upon the occurrence of either:

  • (i) a takeover bid under Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act having been made in respect of the Company having received acceptances for more than 50% of the Company’s Shares on issue and being declared unconditional by the bidder; or

the Share Rights shall automatically convert into Shares, provided that if the number of Shares that would be issued upon such conversion is greater than 10% of the Company’s Shares on issue as at the date of conversion, then that number of Share Rights that is equal to 10% of the Company’s Shares on issue as at the date of conversion under this paragraph will automatically convert into an equivalent number of Shares. The conversion will be completed on a pro rata basis across each class of Share Rights then on issue as well as on a pro rata basis for each holder of Share Rights. Share Rights that are not converted into Shares under this paragraph will continue to be held by the holder on the same terms and conditions.

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Lapse of a Share Right : Any Share Right that has not been converted into a Share prior to the expiry date will automatically lapse.

  • Fraudulent or dishonest action : If Ms Magee ceases to be an employee or Director of the Company in circumstances where the cessation or termination is specifically referenced to the holder having been found to have acted fraudulently or dishonestly in the performance of her duties, then:

  • (i) the Board must deem any Share Rights of the holder to have immediately lapsed and be forfeited; and

  • (ii) any Share Rights that have vested will continue in existence in accordance with their terms of issue only if the Vesting Condition has previously been met, and any Shares issued on satisfaction of the applicable Vesting Condition will remain the property of the holder.

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Ceasing to be an employee or Director : If Ms Magee ceases to be an employee or Director of the Company in circumstances where the cessation or termination arises because the holder:

  • (i) voluntarily resigns her position (other than to take up employment with a subsidiary of the Company);

  • (ii) wilfully breaches the terms of the engagement of the holder or any policy of the Company’s published policies regulating the behaviour of holder;

  • (iii) is convicted of a criminal offence which, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, might tend to injure the reputation or the business of the Company; or

  • (iv) is found guilty of a breach of the Corporations Act and the Board considers that it brings the holder or the Company into disrepute,

then:

  • (v) the Board, unless it decides otherwise in its absolute discretion, will deem any Share Rights of the holder to have immediately lapsed and be forfeited; and

2

  • (vi) any Share Rights that have vested will continue in existence in accordance with their terms of issue only if the relevant Vesting Condition has previously been met and any Shares issued on satisfaction of the applicable Vesting Condition will remain the property of the holder.

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Other circumstances : The Share Rights will not lapse and be forfeited where Ms Magee ceases to be an employee or Director of the Company for one of the following reasons:

  • (i) death or total permanent disability (in respect of total permanent disability being that because of a sickness or injury, the holder is unable to work in his or her own or any occupation for which they are suited by training, education, or experience for a period beyond one year);

  • (ii) redundancy (being where the holder ceases to be an employee or Director due to the Company no longer requiring the holder’s position to be performed by any person); or

  • (iii) any other reason, other than a reason listed in paragraph (f) and (g) (not including (g)(i), in which case the Board may exercise its absolute discretion to allow the resigned to retain their Performance Right), that the Board determines is reasonable to permit the holder to retain the Share Rights,

and in those circumstances the Share Rights will continue to be subject to the applicable Vesting Condition.

  • Share ranking : All Shares issued upon the conversion of Share Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with existing Shares.

  • Restriction on dealing in Shares : Subject to any escrow restrictions imposed by the ASX Listing Rules, the Board may, in its discretion, determine at any time up until exercise of Share Rights, that a restriction period will apply to some or all of the Shares issued or transferred to a Participant on exercise of those Share Rights, up to a maximum of 18 months from the grant date of the Share Rights.

  • Application to ASX : The Share Rights will not be quoted on ASX.

  • Timing of issue of Shares on conversion : Within 10 Business Days after the date that the Company receives notice from the holder, the Company will:

  • (iv) If a notice delivered under (l)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.

  • Transfer of Share Rights : The Share Rights are not transferable.

  • Participation in new issues : A Share Right does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a Performance Right) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.

  • Reorganisation of capital : If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation.

  • Dividend and Voting Rights : The Share Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote on any resolutions proposed by the Company (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends.

  • Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares : If the conversion of a Share Right would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that Share Right shall be deferred until such later time

3

or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Share Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:

  • (i) the holder may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Share Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Share Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and

  • (ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (q)(i) within seven days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Share Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Share Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.

  • Rights on winding up : A Share Right does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.

  • No other rights : A Share Right gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.

  • ASX Listing Rule compliance : The Board reserves the right to amend any term of the Share Rights to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules.

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Entitlement: Subject to paragraph (d), each FY2024 STI Performance Right will, as soon as reasonably practicable, convert into one (1) Share.

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Performance Period : 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2024.

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Vesting Date : The 2024 STI Performance Rights will vest once the Board, in its absolute discretion, determines, as soon as practicable after the Performance Period, Mr Beament’s STI Score in accordance with the Vesting Conditions (set out below) ( Vesting Date ).

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Vesting Conditions : Mr Beament must meet the following vesting conditions for any 2024 STI Performance Rights to vest ( Vesting Conditions ):

  • (i) Service Condition : Mr Beament must be employed by the Company from the date on which the 2024 STI Performance Rights are issued until the Vesting Date; and

The Vesting Conditions will be measured over the Performance Period.

Following assessment of the above Performance Areas, Mr Beament will be granted an STI Score out of 100. This will in turn determine the number of FY2024 STI Performance Rights Mr Beament that will vest and become exercisable into Shares in accordance with the following formula:

VPR = 105,836 x STI Score, where:

VPR = FY2024 STI Performance Rights which will vest and become exercisable into Shares;

105,836 = the maximum possible number of FY2024 STI Performance Rights to which Mr Beament (or his nominee(s)) is entitled, representing the maximum possible FY2024 STI opportunity; and

STI Score = STI Incentive Score (expressed as a percentage), determined based on the Performance Areas set out above.

The Board’s rationale for assessing performance and determining these vesting outcomes will be clearly articulated following completion of the performance period.

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Expiry Date: The FY2024 STI Performance Rights must be exercised within 5 years from the date of issue ( Expiry Date ).

  • Notification to holder : The Company shall notify the holder in writing when the relevant STI Score has been determined.

  • Conversion on change of control : Subject to paragraph (t) below and notwithstanding the relevant milestone has not been satisfied, upon the occurrence of either:

  • (i) a takeover bid under Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act having been made in respect of the Company having received acceptances for more than 50% of the Company’s Shares on issue and being declared unconditional by the bidder; or

  • (ii) a Court granting orders approving a compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme of arrangement for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies,

then, to the extent FY2024 STI Performance Rights have not converted into Shares due to satisfaction of the Milestones, FY2024 STI Performance Rights will accelerate vesting conditions and will automatically convert into Shares on a one-for-one basis.

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [8 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Lapse of a FY2024 STI Performance Right : Any FY2024 STI Performance Right that has not been converted into a Share prior to the Expiry Date specified in paragraph (e) will automatically lapse. For the avoidance of doubt, a FY2024 STI Performance Right will not lapse in the event a relevant milestone is met before the Expiry Date and the Shares the subject of a conversion are deferred in accordance with paragraph (t) below.

  • Fraudulent or dishonest action : If a holder ceases to be an employee or Director of the Company or one of its subsidiaries in circumstances where the cessation or termination is specifically referenced to the

6

holder having been found to have acted fraudulently or dishonestly in the performance of his or her duties, then:

  • (i) the Board must deem any FY2024 STI Performance Rights of the holder to have immediately lapsed and be forfeited; and

  • (ii) any FY2024 STI Performance Rights that have vested will continue in existence in accordance with their terms of issue only if the relevant Milestone has previously been met, and any Shares issued on satisfaction of the applicable Milestone will remain the property of the holder.

==> picture [8 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Ceasing to be an employee or Director: If a holder ceases to be an employee or Director of the Company or its subsidiaries in circumstances where the cessation or termination arises because the holder:

  • (i) voluntarily resigns his or her position (other than to take up employment with a subsidiary of the Company);

  • (ii) wilfully breaches the terms of the engagement of the holder or any policy of the Company’s published policies regulating the behaviour of holder;

  • (iii) is convicted of a criminal offence which, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, might tend to injure the reputation or the business of the Company; or

  • (iv) is found guilty of a breach of the Corporations Act and the Board considers that it brings the holder or the Company into disrepute,

then:

  • (v) unless the Board decides otherwise in its absolute discretion, will deem any FY2024 STI Performance Rights of the holder to have immediately lapsed and be forfeited; and

  • (vi) any FY2024 STI Performance Rights that have vested will continue in existence in accordance with their terms of issue only if the relevant Milestone has previously been met and any Shares issued on satisfaction of the applicable Milestone will remain the property of the holder.

==> picture [11 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Other circumstances: The FY2024 STI Performance Rights will not lapse and be forfeited where the holder ceases to be an employee or Director of the Company for one of the following reasons:

  • (i) death or total permanent disability (in respect of total permanent disability being that because of a sickness or injury, the holder is unable to work in his or her own or any occupation for which they are suited by training, education, or experience for a period beyond one year);

  • (ii) redundancy (being where the holder ceases to be an employee or Director due to the Company no longer requiring the holder’s position to be performed by any person); or

  • (iii) any other reason, other than a reason listed in paragraph (f) and (g), that the Board determines is reasonable to permit the holder to retain his or her FY2024 STI Performance Rights,

and in those circumstances the FY2024 STI Performance Rights will continue to be subject to the applicable Milestone.

  • Share ranking: All Shares issued upon the conversion of FY2024 STI Performance Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with existing Shares.

  • Application to ASX: The FY2024 STI Performance Rights will not be quoted on ASX.

  • Timing of issue of Shares on Conversion : Within 5 Business Days after the date that FY2024 STI Performance Rights are converted, the Company will:

7

  • (i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of FY2024 STI Performance Rights converted;

  • (ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act; and

  • (iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the conversion of the FY2024 STI Performance Rights.

If a notice delivered under (n)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.

  • Cash Payment Facility: Subject to the achievement of the relevant Vesting Conditions, the Board may, at its election, allow for a cash payment to be made in lieu of issuing or transferring a Share to the holder on conversion of a FY2024 STI Performance Right, and shall pay the holder or his or her personal representative (as the case may be) a cash payment to the value of the converted Shares.
