By ratifying the issue, the subject of Resolution 1, the base figure (ie variable “A”) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.

The Company proposes Resolution 1 to ratify a previous issue of Shares in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4. The Company confirms that the allotment and issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 1 did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.

  • 1.2 (c) the issue price was $1.12 per Share;

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 1 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval provided the issue did not breach the 10% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1A. The purpose and effect of such a ratification is to restore the Company’s discretionary power to issue further shares up to 10% of the issued capital of the Company without requiring shareholder approval.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 2, the base figure (ie variable “A”) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.

3.1 General

On 9 January 2023 the Company entered a binding agreement with Stellantis N.V. for the supply of battery grade High Purity Manganese Sulphate (HPMSM) for Stellantis’ Electric Vehicle (EV) battery requirements. The term of the agreement is for a minimum of 5 years for the take or pay of 45Kt of HPMSM with opportunities for contract extension. Under the terms of the agreement, subject to conditions precedent set out in the agreement, Stellantis will part fund the development of the Company’s HPMSM processing facility with US$30million investment in two tranches. Tranche one, subject to Shareholder approval, is equity funding of US$15million to assist with the construction of the HPMSM facility.

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

8

ELEMENT 25 LIMITED Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting 20 March 2023

==> picture [104 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue such number of shares required at the calculated issue price in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement to the value of US$15,000,000 no later than 3 months after the date of this Meeting without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

By approving the issue, the subject of Resolution 3, the base figure (ie variable “A”) in which the Company’s 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.

The Company proposes Resolution 3 to approve the issue of Shares in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3. The Company confirms that the allotment and issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 3 does not breach Listing Rule 7.1.

3.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.3

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3.

  • 3.2 (a) the proposed Share issue are subject to the Company and Stellantis N.V. meeting conditions precedent set out in the Subscription Agreement by 30 April 2023;

  • 3.2 (b) the value of the proposed Shares to be issued is US$15,000,000;

  • 3.2 (c) Stellantis N.V. shall subscribe for such number of ordinary shares in Element 25 at the issue price as equals the US$15,000,000, expressed in Australian dollars.

  • 3.2 (d) the issued price is the price calculated on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares in the 20 days prior to the Feasibility Study announcement at minimum of A$1.00 per share;

  • 3.2 (e) the amount, US$15,000,000 will be converted into Australian dollars at the US:AUD exchange rate published by Westpac Banking Corporation at 12:00pm Perth time on the Business Day immediately prior to the execution of the Subscription Agreement

  • 3.2 (f) the proposed allottee of the Shares is Stellantis N.V., a public limited liability company under the laws of the Netherlands, having its corporate office at Taurusavenue 1, Hoofddorp P7 2132LS;

  • 3.2 (g) the proposed shares issued are all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • 3.2 (h) the issue of shares is subject to material conditions precedents being achieved by both the Company and Stellantis within commercial timeframes. The Offtake Agreement sets out the terms of the proposed issue of Shares with the material terms provided in Annexure A;

  • 3.2 (i) the Shares will be issued on the date provided under the Offtake Agreement, and in any event within three months of the date of this Meeting; and

  • 3.2 (j) the Shares are to be issued to non-related parties of the Company.

3.3 Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 15% annual placement facility will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities available considering the investment of US$15million, the potential economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The Table 1 below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1, on the basis of the minimum issue price of Shares to Stellantis (A$1.00) and additional examples at A$1.10 and A1.20 as the issued price is the price calculated on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares in the 20 days prior to the Feasibility Study announcement of a minimum of A$1.00 per share.

Table 1 also has been modelled with various Australian dollar investment values as the proposed investment equals US$15million and is subject to exchange rate variations which will alter the Australian dollar investment value. The exchange rates used in Table 1 are for modelling purposes with the actual exchange rate to be applied noted at 3.2 (e) to be applied.

Table 1 has been modelled using the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 31 January 2023.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on Issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 15% annual placement facility.

  • 3.3 (b) the issued price is the price calculated on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares in the 20 days prior to the Feasibility Study announcement, estimated to be 30 April 2023, of at minimum of A$1.00 per share, with additional examples shown at an issue price of A$1.10 and A$1.20.

  • 3.3 (c) the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available for the investment of the US$15 million at the prevailing exchange rate.

  • 3.3 (d) no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  • 3.3 (e) the voting dilution reflects the potential aggregate percentage dilution against the Issued Share Capital at the time of issue. The different scenarios of both variable exchange rate on the investment value and Share Issue Price alter the dilution scenarios.

  • 3.3 (f) the table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1, not under the 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • 3.3 (g) the calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  • 3.3 (h) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 15% annual placement facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • 3.3 (a) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • 3.3 (b) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

3.4 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 4 – Ratification of Issue of Shares

4.1 General

On 10 February 2023, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Subscription Agreement ( ATM ) with Acuity Capital. The ATM provides the Company with up to $30,000,000 of standby equity capital over a 36-month period, ending 31 January 2026. The facility gives the Company significant flexibility of terms and of timing for financing the development of the HPMSM Project and operating cost reduction capital costs, engineering optimisation works and/ or working capital.

Under the terms of the ATM the Company retains full control of all aspects of the subscription process, having sole discretion including, whether to utilise the ATM, the maximum number of shares to be issued, the minimum issue price of shares and the timing of each subscription (if any). There is no obligation for the Company to utilise the ATM and the Company may terminate the agreement at any time, without cost or penalty. Acuity Capital and the ATM do not place any restrictions at any time on the Company raising capital through other methods.

If the Company utilises the ATM, it is able to set a price floor (at its sole discretion), with the final issue price being calculated as the greater of the nominated price floor and up to a 10% discount to a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) over a period of the Company’s choosing (again at its sole discretion).

The Company issued 5,000,000 Shares ( Collateral Shares ) on 10 February 2023, from its LR7.1 capacity, at nil consideration, as security under the ATM for provision of the ATM facility. The Company may, however, at any time terminate the ATM and buy back (and cancel) the Collateral Shares for no cash consideration (subject to shareholder approval).

Listing Rule 7.4 permits the ratification of previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval provided the issue did not breach the 15% threshold set by Listing Rule 7.1. The purpose and effect of such a ratification is to restore the Company’s discretionary power to issue further shares up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company without requiring shareholder approval.

11

ELEMENT 25 LIMITED Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting 20 March 2023

The Company proposes Resolution 4 to ratify a previous issue of Shares in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4. The Company confirms that the allotment and issue of the Shares the subject of Resolution 4 did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5.

  • 4.2 (a) 5,000,000 Shares were issued on 10 February 2023;

  • 4.2 (f) the Shares were issued to non-related parties of the Company; and

  • 4.2 (g) as the Shares were issued of nil cash consideration no funds were raised for the issue.

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 4 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

5.1 General

Under the terms of the ATM the Company retains full control of all aspects of the subscription process, having sole discretion including, whether to utilise the ATM, the maximum number of shares to be issued, the minimum issue price of shares and the timing of each subscription (if any). There is no obligation for the Company to utilise the ATM and the Company may terminate the agreement at any time, without cost or penalty. Acuity Capital and the ATM do not place any restrictions at any time on the Company raising capital through other methods.

If the Company utilises the ATM, it is able to set a price floor (at its sole discretion), with the final issue price being calculated as the greater of the nominated price floor and up to a 10% discount to a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) over a period of the Company’s choosing (again at its sole discretion).

The Company has agreed to issue 4,500,000 Shares (Collateral Share) on 21 March 2023, subject to shareholder approval, at nil consideration, as security under the ATM for provision of the ATM facility. If approved by shareholders, this will increase the total number of E25 shares issued as security under the ATM to 9,500,000 Collateral Shares. The Company may, however, at any time terminate the ATM and buy back (and cancel) the Collateral Shares for no cash consideration (subject to shareholder approval).

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

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Company to issue 4,500,000 Shares no later than 3 months after the date of this Meeting without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY

You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise. If you do not specify a percentage or number, each proxy may exercise half the votes. You must return both Proxy Voting Forms together. If you require an additional Proxy Voting Form, contact Automic Registry Services.
