Explanatory Memorandum
Resolution 3 – Ratify 14,826,317 Shares issued under the Initial Placement
As noted in the section of this Explanatory Memorandum titled “ Capital Raising Background ” on page 12, on 1 August 2024 the Company announced the Capital Raising, which included an issue of 14,826,317 Shares to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors pursuant to the Initial Placement. This Initial Placement was undertaken under the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1A.
Listing Rules 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1A limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 10% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The Shares issued to participants in the Initial Placement did not fall within an exception and were issued without Shareholder approval under the Company’s 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to subsequently ratify the previous issues of securities made without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, provided the issue did not breach the maximum thresholds set by Listing Rule 7.1A. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1A and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under those rules.
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 7.1A and thus the Company is seeking ratification of the Shares issued pursuant to the Initial Placement by Resolution 3. The Company confirms that the issue and allotment of the Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A at the date of issue.
Resolution 3 seeks the ratification of the 14,826,317 Shares which were issued by the Company under its additional capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Shares issued using the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A capacity pursuant to the Initial Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the relevant issues will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue.
A table summarising the effects of Resolutions 3 to 9 (inclusive) on the Company’s capacity when calculating the Company’s 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A is set out in Table 1 on page 13 of this Explanatory Memorandum
A table summarising the effects of Resolutions 3 to 9 (inclusive) on the Company’s share capital is set out in Table 2 on page 14 of this Explanatory Memorandum.

Explanatory Memorandum
Listing Rule Requirements
Listing Rule 10.11 requires, among other things, that the Company obtain Shareholder approval prior to the issue of Equity Securities to any of its Related Party.
Messrs Greig, David and Treacy are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of their positions as Directors and therefore, they are each a person falling within category 10.11.1 of Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of up to:
-
(a) 16,066,534 Shares and 8,033,267 Options to Mr Greig;
-
(b) 210,527 Shares and 105,264 Options to Mr David; and
-
(c) 202,192 Shares and 101,096 Options to Mr Treacy,
in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolution 5 is passed, Mr Greig will receive the Shares and Options and the amount owing by the Company to Mr Greig will be reduced by $1.0 million, meaning that the Company will no longer owe any amounts to Mr Greig under the Loan Deed.
If Resolution 6 is passed, Mr David will receive the Shares and Options.
If Resolution 7 is passed, Mr Treacy will receive the Shares and Options.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, no Shares or Options will be issued to Mr Greig and the amount owing by the Company under the Loan Deed will not be reduced. Further, due to the restrictions in the Corporations Act, no Shares will be issued to Mr Greig if to do so would result in Mr Greig or another person acquiring Voting Power in the Company of 20% or more.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, no Shares or Options will be issued to Mr David.
If Resolution 7 is not passed, no Shares or Options will be issued to Mr Treacy.
Shareholders should be aware that, if approval is given to issue Shares and Options to Messrs Greig, David and Treacy under Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A due to Exception 14 of Listing Rule 7.2 and that the number of Shares and Options issued to Messrs Greig, David and Treacy will not be deducted from the Company’s placement capacities in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

Subsequent to the 2024 financial year, the Board awarded Mr David with a short-term incentive bonus of $85,000. Conscious of the Company's cash balance and strong belief in the wayforward future for the Company and its assets, the Board and Mr David agreed that this bonus be paid in 1,000,000 Shares (equivalent to $85,000, based on the share price of 8.5c) rather than cash. This change from cash to equity compensation requires Shareholder approval.

Explanatory Memorandum
Accordingly, Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and all other purposes to issue a total of up to 1,000,000 Shares to Mr Joe David or his nominated Associate as part of his long-term incentive arrangements.
Listing Rule Requirements
Listing Rule 10.11 requires, among other things, that the Company obtain Shareholder approval prior to the issue of Equity Securities to any of its Related Party.
Mr David is a Related Party of the Company by virtue of his position as a Director and therefore, he is a person falling within category 10.11.1 of Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 1,000,000 Shares in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolution 8 is passed, Mr David will receive the Shares.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, no Shares will be issued to Mr David.
Shareholders should be aware that, if approval is given to issue Shares to Mr David under Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A due to Exception 14 of Listing Rule 7.2 and that the number of Shares issued to Mr David will not be deducted from the Company’s placement capacities in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
A table summarising the effects of Resolutions 3 to 9 (inclusive) on the Company’s capacity when calculating the Company’s 15% Threshold in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% Additional Placement Capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1A is set out in Table 1 on page 13 of this Explanatory Memorandum
A table summarising the effects of Resolutions 3 to 9 (inclusive) on the Company’s share capital is set out in Table 2 on page 14 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
Corporations Act
Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a financial benefit to a Related Party unless an exception applies or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the Related Party.
Mr David is a Director so he is a Related Party of the Company. In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a Related Party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The Board (in the absence of Mr David) has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the Shares pursuant to Resolution 8, on the basis that the benefits constitute reasonable remuneration that is consistent with Mr David’s engagement with the Company and, therefore, the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies to Resolution 8. Section 211 provides that Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 in circumstances where the benefit constitutes remuneration which would be reasonable given the Company’s and the related party’s circumstances.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 8:

Resolution 9 – Approval to issue up to 3,600,000 Performance Rights to Mr Joe David or his nominated Associate
Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 10.14, sections 195(4), 208 and 200E of the Corporations Act and all other purposes, to issue a total of up to 3,600,000 Performance Rights to Mr Joe David or his nominated Associate, pursuant to the terms of the Performance Rights Plan and as part of his long-term incentive arrangements ( JD Rights ).

The Performance Conditions are as follows:

A summary of the material terms of the Performance Rights Plan is set out in Schedule 2 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme (such as the Performance Rights Plan) to a Director or their Associates without the Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 9 is not passed, the JD Rights will not be issued to Mr David.

Explanatory Memorandum
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, a public company cannot give a financial benefit to a Related Party unless an exception applies or shareholders have in a general meeting approved the giving of that financial benefit to the Related Party.
Mr David is a Director so he is a Related Party of the Company. In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a Related Party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The Board (in the absence of Mr David) has formed the view that Shareholder approval under sections 208 and 195(4)of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the Performance Rights pursuant to Resolution 9, on the basis that the benefits constitute reasonable remuneration that is consistent with Mr David’s engagement with the Company and, therefore, the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies to Resolution 9. Section 211 provides that Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 in circumstances where the benefit constitutes remuneration which would be reasonable given the Company’s and the related party’s circumstances.
Having considered the circumstances of the Company and the circumstances of Mr David to receive the Performance Rights, the Board (in the absence of Mr David regarding his Performance Rights) considers that the financial benefits conferred by the grant of Performance Rights to Mr David is reasonable in the circumstances, and therefore the exception in section 211 applies because:
-
they are a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to remunerate its Directors, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as the payment of additional cash compensation;
-
they reflect the extensive experience, track record and reputation Mr David has within the resources industry;
-
the expiry dates are 31 July 2027 (for 1,800,000 JD Rights) and 31 July 2028 (for 1,800,000 JD Rights) and there are terms which accelerate the expiry of the Performance Rights if Mr David ceases his engagement with the Company;
-
the issue of Performance Rights will ensure that the remuneration offered is competitive with market standards and practice. The Board has considered the proposed number of Performance Rights to be granted and ensured that the Directors’ overall remuneration is line with market practice; and
-
the issue of the Performance Rights will attract, retain and ensure continuity of service of Mr David, who has appropriate knowledge and expertise while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves for other preferred uses.
Section 200E – Termination Benefits
The Corporations Act restricts the Company from giving certain “benefits” to certain persons (those who hold a managerial or executive office, as defined in the Corporations Act) on ceasing their employment with the Company ( Termination Benefits ), in the absence of prior shareholder approval unless an exemption applies.
The term “benefit” is defined broadly in the Corporations Act and includes benefits arising from the Board exercising its discretion under the rules of the Performance Rights Plan.
Elementos Limited – Notice of AGM 2024
25
Explanatory Memorandum
Under the terms of the Performance Rights Plan and subject to the Listing Rules, the Board possesses the discretion to vary the terms or conditions of the Equity Securities. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any amendment to the terms of any granted Equity Securities. As a result of this discretion, the Board has the power to determine that some or all of a participant’s Equity Securities will not lapse in the event of the participant ceasing employment or office before the vesting of their Equity Securities, including as a result of death or total permanent disability.
The exercise of this discretion by the Board may constitute a Termination Benefit for the purposes of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Resolution 9 also seeks Shareholder approval, for the Company to potentially provide these Termination Benefits to participants in the Performance Rights Plan.

A summary of the material terms of the JD Rights is set out above this table under the heading “Terms of the JD Rights”.

a cost effective and efficient incentive as opposed to alternative forms of incentives (e.g., increased remuneration). It is also considered that the conditions attached to the Performance Rights, which will determine whether how many (and if at all) the Performance Rights vest/ exercise, is dependent upon a concomitant increase in the value of the Company generally. A valuation of the Performance Rights is set out in Schedule 3, noting that the assumed total value of the JD Rights proposed to be issued under Resolution 9 is $298,800. |
|---|---|
| The date or dates on or by which the entity will issue the securities to the person under the scheme |
The JD Rights will be issued as soon as possible following the Meeting, but in any event, no later than three years of the date of the Meeting. |
| The price at which the entity will issue the securities to the person under the scheme |
The JD Rights will be issued for nil consideration as they are being issued to remunerate Mr David. |
| Summary of the material terms of the scheme |
A summary of the Plan, under which the JD Rights are to be issued, is set out in Schedule 2. |
| Summary of the material terms of any loan that will be made to the person in relation to the acquisition |
No loan will be provided to Mr David in relation to the JD Rights. |
| Statement for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.15.11 |
Details of any securities issued under the Performance Rights Plan will be published in the Company’s annual report relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who will become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Performance Rights Plan after Resolution 9 is approved (should it be approved) and who are not named in this Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. |
| Explanation of the termination benefits |
The Performance Rights Plan contains provisions setting out the treatment of unexercised Performance Rights, including the Board’s discretion to deem some or all Performance Rights to be forfeited and/ or waive any vesting conditions attaching to those Performance Rights in the event of cessation of employment or engagement by the Company. As noted above, the exercise of these discretions by the Board will constitute a “benefit” for the purposes of the restrictions contained in the Corporations Act’s regarding Termination Benefits. |
| Value of the termination benefits |
Various matters will or are likely to affect that value of the Termination Benefits that the Board may give under the Performance Rights Plan and, therefore the value of the Termination Benefits cannot be determined in advance. |
Elementos Limited – Notice of AGM 2024
27
Explanatory Memorandum
| The value of a particular benefit resulting from the exercise of the Board’s discretion under the Performance Rights Plan will depend on factors such as the Share price at the time of the exercise of this discretion and the number of Performance Rights that the Board decides to will not be forfeited and/ or waive the vesting conditions in respect of. Some of the factors that may affect the value of the Termination Benefits are as follows: (a) the nature and extent of any vesting conditions waived by the Board; (b) the number of vesting conditions that have been satisfied at the time that the Board exercises this discretion; and (c) the number of unexercised Performance Rights that the participant holds at the time that this discretion is exercised. |

Director Recommendation
The Directors, other than Mr David, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.
The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 9.
Resolution 10 – Approval to issue an additional 10% of the issued capital of the Company over a 12 month period pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the entity’s annual general meeting ( 10% Additional Placement Capacity ). The 10% Additional Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of less than $300,000,000. Accordingly, Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval to have the ability to issue Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Additional Placement Capacity.
If Resolution 10 is passed, the Directors will be able to issue Equity Securities in the Company for up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting ( Placement Securities ), calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Directors will be unable to issue Placement Securities under the Company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity and the Company will be unable to raise funds using the Company's 10% Additional Placement Capacity.
Resolution 10 is a Special Resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 10 for it to be passed. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A, no Placement Securities will be issued until and unless this Special Resolution is passed at the Meeting.
For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in respect of Resolution 10:
Elementos Limited – Notice of AGM 2024
28
Explanatory Memorandum
| Period of approval |
The Placement Securities may be issued under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the General Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following: (a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the General Meeting; (b) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; and (c) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2. |
|---|---|
| Minimum price |
The minimum price at which the Placement Securities (which must be in an existing quoted class of the Company's Equity Securities (as at the date of this Notice, the Company’s only quoted class of Equity Securities is Shares) and issued for cash consideration) may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average market price of Equity Securities in the same class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before: (a) the date on which the price at which the relevant Placement Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or (b) if the relevant Placement Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the relevant Placement Securities are issued. |
| Use of funds | The Company may issue Placement Securities under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity for cash consideration, which the Company intends to use for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets and general working capital (including payment of expenses associated with the issue of Placement Securities). |
| Risk of economic and voting dilution |
Any issue of Placement Securities under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity will dilute the economic and voting interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Equity Securities under the issue. If Resolution 10 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below. Shareholders should note that there is a risk that: (a) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the issue date of any Placement Securities than on the date of the General Meeting; and (b) the Placement Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the date of issue, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Placement Securities. The table below displays the potential dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2) on the basis of three (3) different assumed issue prices and values for variable "A" in the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2: |

| Allocation policy |
The allottees of the Placement Securities to be issued under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Placement Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties or Associates of a related party of the Company. Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new assets or investments. The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Additional Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors: (a) the purpose of the issue; (b) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate; (c) the effect of the issue of the Placement Securities on the control of the Company; (d) the Company’s circumstances, including, but not limited to, its financial position and solvency; (e) prevailing market conditions; and (f) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable). |
| Total number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |
The number of equity security on issue 12 months before the date of the Meeting was 14,826,317 Equity Securities, including: (a) 194,740,085 Shares; (b) 3,540,000 Options; (c) 3,300,000 Rights. In the previous twelve months the total number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 is 14,826,317 Shares. Accordingly, the total number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting represents approximately 7.2% of the total Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. For the purpose of Listing Rule 7.3A.6(b), the Company provides the following information: (a) the allottees of the Shares were subscribers to a private placement who are exempt from the disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act; (b) the issue price of the shares was $0.095 per share, representing a discount of 0% to the closing market price on the date of issue or agreement_;_ (c) The Company received total cash consideration of $1,334,369. |

Explanatory Memorandum
Schedule 1 – Option Terms
1. Exercise Price
Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share on payment of the sum of $0.18 per Option ( Exercise Price ) to the Company.
2. Exercise Period and Expiry Date
The Options are exercisable at any time on a Business Day prior to 5:00pm AEST on 31 January 2026 ( Expiry Date ). Options not exercised by that time and date will automatically lapse.
3. Manner of Exercise
Options may be exercised at any time prior to 5:00pm AEST on the Expiry Date by the holder delivering notice in writing duly executed by the registered holder of the Options to the Company’s registered address ( Exercise Notice ), together with payment (in cleared funds) to the Company of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Options being exercised.
Option holders may not exercise less than 100,000 Options at any one time, unless the Option holder has less than 100,000 Options, in which case they may do so provided they exercise all Options then held.
Options will be deemed to have only been exercised on the date that the Company has received the aggregate Exercise Price (in cleared funds) in respect of the Options exercised in accordance with the Exercise Notice.
4.
Shares Issued on Exercise of Options
Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options will be issued following receipt of all the relevant documents and payments (in cleared funds) and will rank equally with the then issued Shares.
Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Options will have the same rights and liabilities as the Company’s existing Shares on issue as at the date of the exercise of the Options. The full details of the rights attaching to Shares are set out in the Company’s constitution.
If the holder of any Options exercises less than the total number of Options registered in their name, the Company will provide the holder of any Options with a new holding statement stating the remaining number of Options registered in that holders name, together with a new exercise notice.
If the Company is still admitted to the ASX’s official list at the time of exercise of Options, an application will be made for quotation of the Shares to be issued upon exercise.
5. Transfer
The holder of any Options may transfer some or all of their Options in any manner authorised by the ASX or the Corporations Act.

Explanatory Memorandum
6. Participation Rights or Entitlements
There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of securities offered to Shareholders during the term of the Options, except in their capacity as existing Shareholders.
However, the Company will ensure that, for the purpose of determining entitlements to any such issue, the record date will be at least five Business Days after the issue is announced so as to give holders of Options the opportunity to exercise their Options before the date for determining entitlements to participate in any issue.
7. Bonus Issues
If, prior to the expiry of the Options, the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares to Shareholders for no consideration, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the relevant record date for calculating entitlements for the bonus issue.
8. Pro-Rata Issue
If, from time to time, prior to the expiry of the Options, the Company makes a pro-rata issue of Shares to Shareholders, the Exercise Price of the Options will be reduced in accordance with the formula set out in Listing Rule 6.22.2.
9. Capital reorganisation
If there is a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company (including any consolidation, subdivision, reduction, or return of capital), the rights of the holder of Options shall be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules at the time of the reorganisation.

Explanatory Memorandum
Schedule 3 – Valuation of Performance Rights
The Performance Rights are not currently quoted on the ASX and as such, have no ready market value. The Performance Rights each grant the holder a right of grant of one fully paid ordinary share in the Company upon vesting of the Performance Rights, for nil consideration. Accordingly, the Performance Rights may have a present value at the date of their grant.
Various factors impact upon the value of Performance Rights, including:
-
(i) the period outstanding before the expiry date of the Performance Rights;
-
(ii) the underlying price or value of the securities into which they may be converted; and
-
(iii) the proportion of the issued capital as expanded consequent upon conversion of the Performance Rights into Shares (i.e. whether or not the shares that might be acquired upon exercise of the Performance Rights represent a controlling or other significant interest).
The fair value of the Shares at the time the Performance Rights are to be issued was used to value the Performance Rights based on attainment of business KPIs. The Performance Rights are issued for nil consideration and no consideration will be payable upon the vesting of the Performance Rights their conversion to ordinary shares in the Company.
A Performance Right lapses as described in Schedule 2 above. On this basis, there is an implied service condition in that the holder is required to be continuously employed by the Company, failing which the Performance Rights will lapse. This service condition does not affect the valuation.
The undiscounted value of a Performance Right is the value of an underlying ordinary share in the Company at the deemed date of grant of the Rights. For the purpose of this valuation based on the deemed grant date of 18 October 2024, the last traded price of a Share in the Company on ASX at the date of acceptance of the offer of Performance Rights by the directors, being $0.083.
The number of Share Performance Rights that will vest depends upon the Performance Hurdles noted below being satisfied within the vesting period (see below), as well as the respective director remaining employed or engaged by the Company within the vesting period. The Performance Hurdles are deemed to comprise only non-market based performance vesting conditions.
The performance hurdles are set out below:
| Tranche | Number | Performance Hurdle | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tranche 1 | 1,800,000 | Oropesa environmental permit approval by end of 2026 |
31 July 2027 |
| Tranche 2 | 800,000 | Oropesa commenced construction (as determined by the Chairman / Board) by end of 2027 |
31 July 2028 |
| Tranche 3 | 1,000,000 | Cleveland scoping study completed by end of 2027 |
31 July 2028 |
| Total | 3,600,000 |
Elementos Limited – Notice of AGM 2024

Explanatory Memorandum
These Performance Hurdles are deemed to be non-market based performance vesting conditions as they are linked to key internal Company objectives.
Under Australian Accounting Standard 2: Share-based Payments (“AASB 2”), if a condition is a non-market-based condition, the impact of the condition is not taken into account when estimating the fair value of each Performance Right at the grant date. Instead, the condition is taken into account by adjusting the number of Performance Rights so as to reflect the number of Performance Rights that are expected to vest, at each relevant reporting date.
In assessing the number of awards that are likely to vest, the Company may consider a probability factor of the likelihood that the non-market performance conditions will be achieved (including the related service condition). The approach followed is to determine a best estimate of the number of awards expected to vest for each Performance Hurdle. In other words, for example, a ≥ 50% probability (“more likely than not”) the vesting condition will be met, reflects that the most likely outcome is that 100% of the securities will vest and 100% of the value is then recognised for accounting purposes. Accordingly, whether a tranche of securities is recognised in the accounts is typically a binomial outcome.
On this basis, the Board have determined that all three tranches will be met “more likely than not” and therefore valued at $0.083 per Performance Right (i.e., 100% of the value). Based on the Company’s assessment of the probability of the non-market hurdles as described above, the Company estimates that the total value of the Performance Rights to be issued pursuant to Resolution 8 is $298,800.
The (accounting) value of the Share Performance Rights will be expensed/spread evenly over the accounting periods until the vesting conditions are met (or expired).
