EMU NL

Notice of Annual General Meeting Monday 31 January 2022

In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report. However, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board (except a managing director) if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive AGM’s.

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive AGM’s, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second AGM a resolution ( Spill Resolution ) on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2020 AGM. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting and if a second Strike is received at the 2022 AGM, this may result in a Board spill.

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

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

1.2 Voting on the Remuneration Report

Please refer to the voting prohibition set out in the Notice for the persons who are not entitled to vote on Resolution 1.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.

1.3 Directors’ recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.

2 RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF TERENCE STREETER AS A DIRECTOR

2.1 General

Mr Terence Streeter was appointed as a non-executive Director on 5 November 2018.

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.4, no director of the Company may hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever period is longer. The Company’s Constitution also requires that one third of the Company’s directors must retire at each AGM. Accordingly, Mr Streeter will retire by rotation, and being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders entitled to vote on it.

2.2 Director’s biography and experience

Mr Streeter has extensive experience in funding, listing and overseeing junior explorers in all exploration and economic cycles and has served in various roles in the nickel sulphide industry for over 30 years. He was a director of West Australian nickel explorer and miner, Jubilee Mines NL from 1993 to May 2004 and was a founding shareholder of Western Areas NL (ASX:WSA) in 1999, which went on to discover and develop two high-grade nickel sulphide mines in the Forrestania region of Western Australia.

executive director of Midas Resources Ltd (from June 2001 to April 2013), non-executive chairman of Alto Metals Ltd (from December 2016 to 8 November 2018) and served as a non-executive director of Minera IRL (from April 2007 to 2011). In 2010, Mr Streeter founded Riverbank Resources Mineracao Ltda, a private company incorporated in Brazil which is engaged in the exploration and development of iron, titanium, vanadium, base metal and gold projects throughout Brazil. Riverbank is actively exploring 100% owned iron and iron-titanium-vanadium projects in north-eastern Brazil. He is also non-executive chairman of ASX listed Corazon Mining Limited (from 18 September 2019) and Moho Resources Limited (from 6 July 2018).

2.3 Directors’ recommendation

All the Directors consider that Resolution 2 is in the best interests of the Company, as Mr Streeter’s skills, knowledge and experience of mining and exploration geology is valuable to the Company. All the Directors, except Mr Streeter, who has an interest in this Resolution, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

RESOLUTION 3 –APPROVAL TO RATIFY ISSUE OF SHARES USING 15% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

3.1 General

  • (a) On 11 November 2021, the Company announced that it had completed a placement of shares to raise $2,082,500 before costs, to professional and sophisticated investors, with the proceeds being applied to continuing exploration activities and related drilling at EMU’s West Australian exploration projects, to assess, and if applicable, acquire further projects, and for working capital;

  • (b) A total of 83,300,000 fully paid ordinary Shares and 33,320,000 free attaching options to acquire fully paid Shares were subsequently issued to sophisticated and professional investors on that same date, with the placement being made at $0.025 per Share;

  • (c) The Placement was made as to 36,648,552 fully paid Shares and 33,320,000 options to acquire fully paid Shares within the Company’s existing Listing Rule 7.1 15% placement capacity, and 46,651,448 fully paid Shares within its’ existing Listing Rule 7.1A 10% placement capacity;

  • (d) Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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;

  • (e) The Placement does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by EMU’s shareholders, it effectively uses up almost all of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and all of the 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing EMU’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the Placement issue Date;

  • (f) Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed 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 Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under those rules;

  • (g) EMU wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A;

  • (h) To this end, Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval to the Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4;

  • (i) If Resolution 3 is passed, the Placement will be excluded in calculating EMU’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, and in calculating EMU’s 10% 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 Placement issue Date;

  • (j) If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Placement will be included in calculating EMU’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, and in calculating EMU’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number

  • 9 -

EMU NL

Notice of Annual General Meeting Monday 31 January 2022

of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement issue date;

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

3.2 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

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

  • (a) the Shares were agreed to be issued to sophisticated and professional investors in a placement managed by Euroz Hartley Limited;

3.3 Directors Recommendation

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

The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

4 RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

4.1 General

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 the period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its AGM, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 10% Placement Facility ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes as at the date of this Notice. If, on the date of the Meeting, the Company is not an eligible entity under the Listing Rules for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A, then Resolution 4 will be withdrawn.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder

  • 10 -

EMU NL

Notice of Annual General Meeting Monday 31 January 2022

approval. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows.

  • (a) Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained, and expires on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) the time and date of EMU’s next annual general meeting; or

  • (iii) the time and date of the approval by EMU’s shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( 10% Placement Period ).

  • The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period.

  • (b) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the relevant class of the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days in which trades in the class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (c) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities to raise funds for making (or to securing the right to make) one or more acquisitions and/or to further its existing projects; and/or general working capital; so that the Company has the necessary working capital and flexibility to consider, and if thought fit, to put it in a stronger position to make (or to secure the right to make) one or more acquisitions and/or to further its existing projects.

  • (d) If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the relevant class of the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table shows:

  • 11 -

EMU NL

  • (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples: one where the issue price of ordinary securities is decreased by 50% and the other where the issue price of ordinary securities is increased by 100% relative to the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) Shareholders approve Resolution 4.

  • (ii) The Company issues, in a single allotment, the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (iii) No existing Convertible Securities (including any Convertible Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (iv) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (v) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of this Meeting.

  • (vi) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (vii) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility includes Convertible Securities, it

  • 12 -

EMU NL

Notice of Annual General Meeting Monday 31 January 2022

is assumed that those Convertible Securities are converted into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • (viii) The issue price is $0.017 being the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 24 December 2021.

  • (e) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

  • (f) The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an Associate of a related party of the Company.

  • (g) The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2020 AGM held on 30 November 2020.

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.6, as at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued the following Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A (representing 20.9% of the Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period) in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting but note that of that percentage, 7.7% was ratified by Shareholders at the EGM held 6 April 2021:

The net funds raised from the 16.2.2021 raising was expended on the final acquisition settlement of EMU’s Gnows’ Nest tenements. The net funds raised from the 15.11.2021 raising have not been expended.

  • (h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

4.3 Directors’ recommendation

Based on the information available, including the information contained in this Explanatory Statement, all the Directors consider that Resolution 4 is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. The Directors have formed this view as the passing of this Resolution will provide greater flexibility when considering future capital raising opportunities. The passing of Resolution 4 will increase the Directors’ ability to issue new Shares permitted by the Listing Rules without requiring Shareholder approval. Application of this additional placement capacity has historically been utilised by the Company in a very judicious manner (or not at all) and has, at all times, been cognisant of Shareholder dilution.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The Chair intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

5 RESOLUTIONS 5, 6, 7 AND 8 – RATIFICATION OF AGREEMENT TO GRANT OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS 5.1 General

The Company has entered into a Deed Poll with each director whereby, subject to Shareholder approval and otherwise upon the terms set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement, the Company has agreed to issue to each of the directors of the Company (or their nominee/s) 5,000,000 Options to acquire Partly-paid Shares ( Options ), exercisable at $0.0001 each on or before 15 November 2022. Upon payment of the exercise price, the resultant Partly-paid Shares shall each be unpaid as to, and subject to calls totalling $0.04 (4 cents), with no calls being made before 31 December 2025, after which subject to and upon payment of the call(s), they will be converted into fully paid Shares ranking equally with the Shares currently quoted as ASX:EMU. If a call is not paid when due the Partly-paid Shares will be subject to the threat of forfeiture. There is no obligation to pay a call.

In the event that the issue of the Options to a Director is not approved by Shareholders, the Company is obliged by the Deed Poll to pay the affected Director the sum of $2,000.

Whilst the Directors are entitled, under the Constitution, to be paid for special exertion, in practice only very rarely has a claim for special exertion been paid. The Directors consider that the grant of the Options will be a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide an incentive and motivate the contribution of special exertion without routine claims to be paid in cash for the same.

$2,000 will be raised by the Company upon and in the event all the Options are exercised and a further $800,000 if all the Partly-paid Shares issued upon exercise are paid up in full.

Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8 are ordinary resolutions, requiring them to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act – related party transactions

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:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or

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

Each of Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8 provides for the grant of Options to related parties which is a financial benefit requiring Shareholder approval unless an exemption from the requirement for such approval applies. For the purpose of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act the following information is provided.

  • 14 -

EMU NL

Notice of Annual General Meeting Monday 31 January 2022

The related party to whom the proposed Resolutions would permit the financial benefit to be given

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Options the subject of Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8 will be granted to Messrs Thomas, Rutherford, Streeter and Staermose (or their nominee/s), within one month of the passing of the Resolutions. Messrs Thomas, Rutherford, Streeter and Staermose are Directors of the Company and are therefore classified as related parties.

The nature of, reasons for, and basis for the financial benefit

The proposed financial benefits are the grant of 5,000,000 Options to Mr Thomas, 5,000,000 Options to Mr Rutherford, 5,000,000 Options to Mr Streeter and 5,000,000 Options to Mr Staermose or their nominee/s, for no issue price. Each Option will allow Messrs Thomas, Rutherford, Streeter and Staermose to subscribe for one Partly-paid Share in the Company. The Options will have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and will expire on 15 November 2022.

The Options will form part of Messrs Thomas’, Rutherford’s, Streeter’s and Staermose’s remuneration for service as directors of the Company and constitutes reasonable remuneration for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

Options are considered to be an appropriate incentive given the Company’s current size and stage of development, being an exploration company with limited cash reserves. If Messrs Thomas, Rutherford, Streeter and Staermose are to derive any intrinsic value from the exercise of the Options, the market price of EMU Shares must be in excess of $0.0401 per share, being a total of the amount payable upon exercise and the amount to be called before being converted into fully paid Shares. The Options represent an incentive to Messrs Thomas, Rutherford, Streeter and Staermose to get the fully paid ASX:EMU share price up, not just to the level of the exercise and call prices but well above that price in order that the Options will be deep in the money so that they can realise a significant gain from the disposal of their interests in the Options, thus aligning their personal interests with those of other Shareholders.

Directors' recommendation

All Directors, except Mr Thomas, recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6. Mr Thomas does not make a recommendation about Resolution 5 as he will receive a financial benefit from the passing of the Resolution in relation to the grant of Options and does not consider himself sufficiently independent to make a recommendation.

All Directors, except Mr Rutherford, recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7. Mr Rutherford does not make a recommendation about Resolution 6 as he will receive a financial benefit from the passing of the Resolution in relation to the grant of Options and does not consider himself sufficiently independent to make a recommendation.

All directors, except Mr Streeter, recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8. Mr Streeter does not make a recommendation about Resolution 7 as he will receive a financial benefit from the passing of the Resolution in relation to the grant of Options and does not consider himself sufficiently independent to make a recommendation.

All directors, except Mr Staermose, recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9. Mr Staermose does not make a recommendation about Resolution 8 as he will receive a financial benefit from the passing of the Resolution in relation to the grant of Options and does not consider himself sufficiently independent to make a recommendation.

Any other information that is reasonably required by members to make a decision and that is known to the Company or any of its officers

  • (a) Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8, if passed, will have the effect of giving power to the Directors to grant 5,000,000 Options respectively to each of Messrs Thomas, Rutherford, Streeter and Staermose, or their respective nominee/s and the Option issue will be excluded in calculating EMU’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Option issue Date.

  • 15 -

EMU NL

Notice of Annual General Meeting Monday 31 January 2022

  • (b) If Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8 are not passed, the Company is obliged by the Deed Poll to pay the affected Director the sum of $2,000.

  • (c) The exercise of the Options is subject to the terms and conditions as set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement and as otherwise mentioned above.

  • (d) The Directors have obtained an independent valuation of the Options from Provisio Corporate, a firm which specialises in corporate risk management and share security valuation services.

  • (e) The total (indicative) value of the Options is outlined in Table 1. If Options granted to Messrs Thomas, Rutherford, Streeter and Staermose, or their nominees, are exercised, the effect would be to dilute the Shareholdings of the other Shareholders.

“VALUATION METHODOLGY

Modelling Option Valuation based on Market Conditions:

Monte Carlo simulation models: The simplest way to assess the probabilities associated with complex interrelationships is to construct appropriately structured Monte Carlo simulation model. We used a model to generate 1000 random price paths over the course of the currency of the option and used each of the 1000 randomised price paths to determine a theoretical value at the time and price which can be used as an input to the valuation model.

Whilst these are Options to acquire Contributing Shares, in many respects the call nature of the contribution

means the valuation models should be based upon a binomial lattice as it provides the necessary flexibility to accommodate various possible outcomes conditions such as the likelihood of share price volatilities varying over the term of the life of the Contributing Share, the likelihood of the holder not paying the contribution when called and/or forfeiting the right to pay up the Contributing Shares in the event of leaving employment – except in the event of the employee leaving when, if the Contributing Shares are in-the-money at that point, it is assumed that the Contribution Shares are paid up upon their leaving.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is worth noting that all other things are the same (i.e. single fixed values for volatility and the risk-free rate, and excluding more complex conditions, etc.), then the results produced by the binomial model will converge to give a similar value as the Black-Scholes model as each time interval used in the binomial lattice gets smaller and smaller (i.e. as one creates a greater and greater number of nodes to value within a given option’s life). As such we used the end price of each of the 1000 random price paths as the input to a Black-Scholes model to determine a valuation and then used the average of the 1000 iterations to calculate a fair and reasonable valuation.

Volatility

The volatility used in the modelling is critical to the value assigned as volatility, even of whole markets, is a measure which can fluctuate considerably over time – though it is also generally acknowledged to have the property of tending to regress towards the mean (i.e. move towards its long term average value). This characteristic is perceived to hold true for not only individual securities but for whole markets. When assessing the measures of volatility we used a GARCH analysis model – which provides a forecast which is essentially an exponentially weighted average value with the added refinement of incorporating regression, over time, towards the mean of the historical trend line.

In our valuation models we modelled a range of implied volatilities derived from Emu’s historical share price. However, the historical volatilities derived using the Company’s share price are higher than the ASX average market volatilities which reflect the fact that share price can move substantially in a short timeframe should there be a significant announcement. For the valuation we have settled upon an implied volatility of 65%. It is recognized that this volatility is slightly lower than the overall ASX market implied volatility and reflects the fact that the options will likely not be listed nor traded on the ASX and there will be no call made for a threeyear period.

Share price: We used the underlying ASX:EMU share price in the valuation including the last trading closing share price at the Valuation Date which was the date the Deed Poll was entered into, namely 21 December 2021.

Time to expiry : Expiry is 15 November 2022.

Risk free rate: Though with interest rates trading near historical lows, it is arguable that the government bond rate is the correct rate to use, it is nonetheless the required input. Given that rates may move from the current historical low over the life of the life of the Contribution Share a ‘risk free’ rate assumption of 0.48% was used.

Dividend yield: We have assumed that it is highly unlikely that the company will pay a dividend during the life of the Contribution Shares.

Valuation

Based on the above methodology, we place a fair and reasonable valuation of $0.0036 per Option to acquire a Contributing Share.”

This valuation may not be the final value for accounting purposes but is based on assumptions detailed above and subject to audit by the Company’s auditors.

Applying the valuation methodology prescribed by the employee share scheme provisions of the Income Tax Assessment Act, the Options have minimal value. The Company believes that the employee share scheme provisions of Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) will be applicable to the Options.

  • (f) As at the date of this Notice, the issued capital of the Company comprised 549,814,484 fully paid Shares and 40,485,069 partly-paid Shares. If all Options granted as proposed above are exercised, and assuming no other equity issues, the effect will be to dilute the Shareholding of existing Partlypaid Shareholders as per the table below:

Mr Streeter 1,000,000 Nil
Mr Staermose 10,627,387 750,000
  • (g) Whilst the fully paid ordinary Shares of the Company are traded on ASX, there is no agreement to list the Options on ASX.

  • (h) The Options to acquire Partly Paid Shares can be converted to Partly-paid Shares by the payment of 0.01 cents ($0.0001) each. The market price of the Company's Shares during the term of the Options will normally determine whether or not the Option holder exercises the Options. It is probable that the Options will only be exercised if the price at which FP Shares are trading exceeds four cents.

  • (i) Mr Thomas currently receives annual director fees of $44,000, plus statutory superannuation entitlements. Mr Rutherford currently receives annual director fees of $32,877, plus statutory superannuation entitlements. Mr Streeter receives annual director fees of $36,000 with no statutory superannuation entitlements. Mr Staermose receives annual director fees of $36,000 with no statutory superannuation entitlements.

  • (j) The Options will be issued as remuneration for the provision of the Directors’ services as Directors.

  • (k) Under the Australian equivalent of IFRS, the Company is required to expense the value of the Options in its profit or loss for the current financial year. Other than as disclosed in this Explanatory Statement, the Directors do not consider, from an economic and commercial point of view, there are any costs or detriments, including taxation consequences for the Company or benefits foregone by the Company, in granting the Options to Messrs Thomas, Rutherford, Streeter and Staermose or

5.3 ASXLR 10.11 and 10.13

Unless an exception detailed in ASXLR 10.12 applies, the Company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to any persons as detailed in ASXLR 10.11.1 to 10.11.5 inclusive without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities. No such exception applies and EMU has agreed to issue Options to its directors (being related parties, and to associates, as defined) subject to receiving Shareholder approval.

Listing Rule 10.13 requires that information be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 and is detailed hereunder:

  • (a) the Options will be issued to Messrs Thomas, Rutherford, Streeter and Staermose (or their nominee/s).

  • (b) the issues will be made to a related party or an associate of that person;

  • (c) the maximum number of Options to be issued is 20,000,000 (5,000,000 Options to Mr Thomas, 5,000,000 Options to Mr Rutherford, 5,000,000 Options to Mr Streeter and 5,000,000 Options to Mr Staermose);

  • (d) the Options are to acquire Partly-paid Shares with $0.0001 each being payable upon exercise and they expire on 15 November 2022 and otherwise on the terms and conditions outlined in Annexure A;

  • (e) the Options will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may in its discretion allow);

RESOLUTION 9 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO EMPLOYEES/CONTRACTORS

6.1 General

The Board has agreed to issue up to 15,000,000 options to acquire Partly-paid Shares upon the terms set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement, exercisable at $0.0001 each on or before 15 November 2022, as it considers that offering incentive options is appropriate to attract and retain the right calibre of professionals to the Company with the appropriate mindset for a junior explorer. Equity-based incentives/remuneration help align the interests of employees/contractors with shareholders in that the employees/contractors thereby have a vested interest in seeing the delivery of value to shareholders through share price appreciation.

Upon payment of the exercise price, the resultant Partly-paid Shares shall each be unpaid as to, and subject to calls totalling $0.04 (4 cents), with no calls being made before 31 December 2025, after which and upon

Notice of Annual General Meeting Monday 31 January 2022

payment of the calls, they will be converted into fully paid Shares ranking equally with the Shares currently quoted as ASX:EMU.

The issue will be made within the Company’s existing Listing Rule 7.1 15% placement capacity.

The effect of Resolution 9 will be to authorise the Directors to issue the Options without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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 Options does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by EMU’s shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing EMU’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Option issue Date.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed 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.

EMU 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.

To this end, Resolution 9 seeks shareholder approval to the Option issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 9 is passed, the Option issue will be excluded in calculating EMU’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Option issue Date.

If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Option issue will be included in calculating EMU’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Option issue date.

Resolution 9 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

6.2 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

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

  • (a) the Options were agreed to be issued to employees/contractors selected by the Board (including 5,000,000 Options which were issued to Astrial Pty Ltd, a business consulting to the mining and exploration industry which provides CEO services to EMU), none of whom are excluded from being issued the Options by virtue of ASX Listing Rule 10.11;

  • (b) A total of up to 15,000,000 Options have been agreed to be issued by the Company;

  • (c) the Options are exercisable at $0.0001 each on or before 15 November 2022, entitle the holder to acquire Partly-paid Shares upon the terms and conditions outlined in Annexure A and rank equally with all other Options issued with the same terms and conditions;

  • (d) the Options have not yet been issued, and subject to this Resolution being passed, will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of this meeting;

  • (e) the purpose of the issue is to remunerate selected employees/contractors with equity-based incentives for rendering of services and no funds will be raised from the issue;

  • (f) the Options will be issued under agreements entered into with selected employees/contractors;
