AGENDA
The following additional Resolution is inserted in the Notice of Meeting as follows:
1. RESOLUTION 5 – ELECTION OF A DIRECTOR – Dr DAVID DETATA
To consider and if thought fit, to pass, with or without amendment, the following resolution as an : ordinary resolution
“That, for the purpose of clause 7.2(b)(i) of the Constitution and for all other purposes, Dr David DeTata, having been nominated to stand for election as a new Director, and being eligible, is elected as a Director of the Company.”
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
The following new section is added to the Explanatory Statement in relation to the Notice of Meeting in respect of Resolution 5 as follows:
7. Resolution 5 – Election of DIRECTOR – Dr DAVID DETATA
(a) General
In accordance with clause 7.5 of the Constitution and Listing Rule 3.13.1, the Company received a notice of nomination from Dr David DeTata seeking to be appointed as a new Director of the Company on 22 October 2024 ( Nomination ).
(b) Qualifications and other material directorships
Dr DeTata provided the following biography for inclusion in this Addendum:
“Dr DeTata is an accomplished scientist and exploration executive who serves as the Managing Director of Strategic Energy Resources (ASX:SER) since 2021. David has over twenty (20) years' experience in leading science driven programs across government, public and private companies and is the Affiliate Representative for the Science Advisory Committee of the Mineral Exploration Cooperative Research Centre (MinEx CRC). David has extensive experience in identifying, evaluating and securing exploration projects along with maximising exploration spend through R&D collaborations. David's experience also extends to identifying and executing joint ventures agreements with major mining companies including Fortescue, Evolution Mining and Newcrest.
Dr DeTata holds a Doctor of Philosophy (Chemistry) and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Western Australia.”
Dr DeTata has confirmed to the Company that aside from his position as the Managing Director of Strategic Energy Resources Limited, he does not currently hold any other material directorships and will have sufficient time to fulfill his responsibilities as a Director.
background and experience. As at the date of this Addendum, the results from these checks have not been received. In the event these checks identify any information of material concern, the Company will update Shareholders accordingly.
(c) Independence
The Board (as currently constituted) considers that, if elected, Dr DeTata would be an independent Director.
Dr DeTata is not considered by the Board to hold any interest, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the entity as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual security holder or other party.
(d) Board recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote against the election of Dr DeTata to the Board.
Consistent with the terms of its Corporate Governance Plan and Board Charter , the Board regularly reviews its performance and composition against its Board Skills Matrix to ensure it has the right mix of skills and experience to discharge its obligations effectively and to add value for Shareholders.
The Company undertook its most recent review in September 2024. As a result of this review, it was determined that the Company should seek an experienced candidate, preferably with an engineering, operational or project development background to complement the Board’s existing skill set and assist in guiding the Company during its next stage of development.
Accordingly, the Board commenced a confidential process to identify and approach candidates to seek their interest in providing a submission for their appointment.
Dr DeTata originally approached the Company in August 2024 expressing an interest in joining the Board. Following completion of the Board review in September 2024, Dr DeTata was notified that his professional background and skill set were not aligned with the Company’s priorities, but that he was nonetheless welcome to participate in the process being run by the Board. In subsequent discussions Dr DeTata indicated that he did not intend to nominate himself for election as a Director. However, in the closing hours of the notice period, and without further consultation with the Board, the Nomination was delivered to the Registered Office of the Company.
The Company is continuing with its process of identifying a candidate for appointment to the Board. Discussions are ongoing with several parties. The Board is committed to ensuring it is appropriately structured and equipped to add value for Shareholders and is hopeful of identifying a suitably qualified candidate to fill a casual vacancy on the Board in the short term.
As indicated above, the Directors have considered Dr DeTata’s skills and experience against the Board Skills Matrix. The Directors consider that there is substantial overlap between the skills and experience that Dr DeTata would bring to the Company and the skills and experience of the existing Directors, and that Dr DeTata is not likely to bring additional skills in areas of highest priority for the Company. On that basis, the Board unanimously recommends Shareholders vote against Resolution 5.
