Voting Exclusion Statements

Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report) by or on behalf of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such a member of the Key Management Personnel (each an Excluded Shareholder ).

However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:

  • it is cast by a person as a proxy, appointed in writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on the proposed resolution (i.e. a directed proxy) and the vote is not cast on behalf of an Excluded Shareholder; or

  • it is cast by the Chairman as a proxy of a person who is not an Excluded Shareholder, where the appointment does not specify how the Chairman is to vote, but expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company or the consolidated entity; or

  • it is cast by a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and

  • the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

Accordingly, members entitled to vote on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report), who appoint as their proxy, a member of the Key Management Personal ( other than the Chairman) of the Meeting (or Closely Related Parties of such persons), should direct their proxy as to how to vote. Failing to direct the proxy may result in that member's vote on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report) being disregarded.

Resolution 3 - The approval under Listing Rule 7.1A to issue additional Shares in the Company over the next twelve months

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 3 by or on behalf of:

  • (a) a person who is expected to participate in, or who will obtain a material benefit as a result of, the proposed issue (except a benefit solely by reason of being a holder of ordinary securities in the Company); or

  • (b) an Associate of that person or those persons.

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of Resolution 3 by:

  • (i) a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the Resolution in that way; or

  • (ii) the Chair of the Meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the Chair to vote on the Resolution as the Chair decides; or

  • (iii) a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the Resolution; and

  • the holder votes on the Resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

For the benefit of the Meeting, the Auditor will briefly outline to the Meeting the matters covered in the written questions.

Resolution 1: to adopt the Remuneration Report

In accordance with Section 300A(1) of the Corporations Act the Remuneration Report is included in the Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2022. The Corporations Act also requires that the Remuneration Report be adopted at the Meeting by a resolution. While there is a requirement for a formal resolution, the Shareholders' vote is advisory only and does not bind the Company, nor will it require the Company to alter any arrangements detailed in the Remuneration Report should the resolution not be passed.

The Remuneration Report is set out on pages 12 to 18 of the Company's 2022 Annual Report. ( The Annual Report is available on the Company's website at www.energytechnologies.com.au) .The Remuneration Report explains the structure of and policy behind, EGY's remuneration practices and the link between the remuneration of employees and the Company's performance. The Report also sets out remuneration details of each Director and for any specified executive. A Remuneration Committee has been established to evaluate and make recommendations to the Board regarding remuneration policy. Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the Remuneration Report.

page 9

Sections 250U to 250Y of Corporations Act provide for a ‘two strikes and re-election’ process in relation to the Shareholder vote on the Remuneration Report as follows:

  • A ‘first strike’ will occur if this Remuneration Report resolution receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more. If this occurs, the Company’s subsequent remuneration report must contain an explanation of the Board’s proposed action in response to the ‘no’ vote or an explanation of why no action has been taken by the Board.

  • A ‘second strike’ will occur if the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report at the Company's next annual general meeting also receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more. If this occurs, Shareholders will vote at that annual general meeting to determine whether the Directors will need to stand for re-election at a separate, subsequent meeting (the spill resolution ). If the spill resolution passes with 50% or more of eligible votes cast, the spill meeting must take place within 90 days.

The Company has not received a first strike.

The Board abstains from making a recommendation in relation to shareholders voting on Resolution 1.

Resolution 2: Re-election of Director

Proposed resolution

Resolution 2 seeks the re-election of Mr Matthew Driscoll as Director of the Company.

Background

ASX Listing Rule 14.5 requires that the Company hold an election of Directors each year. Article 10.03(1) of the Constitution of the Company also requires one third of the Directors (other than the managing Director) to retire from office at each annual general meeting, together with any Director who has held office without re-election for three or more years.

Mr Matthew Driscoll was initially appointed to the Board in 2016. Mr Driscoll retired pursuant to Article 10.03(1) of the Company's Constitution, he was re-elected on 30 November 2017 (being the date the Company's 2017 Annual General Meeting was held), and again was re-elected on 18 November 2020 (being the date the Company's 2020 Annual General Meeting was held), and again was re-elected on 29 November 2021 (being the date of the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting). He retires, in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, and offers himself for reappointment.

Mr Driscoll has significant experience across several industries, including online technologies, financial services, fintech, property and resources. He has more than 30 years’ experience in capital markets and the financial services industry and is an accomplished company director in roles across listed and private companies. He has significant experience in international business growth, mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt raisings and building strategic alliances, and remains committed to ethical, commercial and consumer-based outcomes.

Other Current Directorships: Chair Carbonxt Group (CGI), Chair Tennant Minerals (TMS), Chair Smoke Alarms Holdings.

If Shareholders do not give their approval for Resolution 2, Mr Driscoll will cease to be a Director.

Board recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Driscoll, who abstains) recommend that you vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 3 - The approval under Listing Rule 7.1A to issue additional securities in the company

over the next twelve months

Proposed resolution

Approval is sought under Resolution 3 for Shareholders to approve an additional capacity of the Company to issue Equity Securities of up to 10% of the issued capital of the Company (at the time of the issue) calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 and on the terms and conditions in these Explanatory Notes.

Background

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, every listed entity has the ability to issue 15% of its ordinary Equity Securities on issue without Shareholder approval within a 12 month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible small and mid-cap ASX-listed entities, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue Equity Securities of up to an additional 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ) by way of placements over a 12 month period, in addition to its ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company seeks Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 10% Placement Capacity. The effect of this Resolution will be to allow the Company, subject to the conditions set out below, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity without using its 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person or by proxy) at the Meeting must be in favour of this resolution for it to be passed.

ASX-listed entities which have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less, and which are not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index, are eligible to seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. As at the date of this Notice, the Company is eligible to seek Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

While the Company currently has no intention or reason to issue securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, in the future having this additional placement capacity to immediately issue securities for cash consideration only, the proceeds of which will be applied to fund the Company’s existing and future activities, appraisal of corporate opportunities, investment in new businesses (if any), the costs incurred in undertaking placement(s) of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.A and for general working capital.

If Resolution 3 is not approved, the 10% Placement Capacity will not be available to the Company.

The Directors advise that this additional placement capacity will only be used by the Company if it is necessary due to timing constraints pertaining to the underlying transaction(s) for which it is used. Any securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will be in the same class as existing quoted securities of the Company. The Company has only one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting being fully-paid ordinary Shares with the ASX code 'EGY'.

Formula for calculating 10% Placement Capacity

The exact number of additional Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined by a formula set out ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as follows:

(A x D) - E

Where:

  • A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period before the date of issue or agreement (relevant period):

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17,

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

page 11

  - the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4,
  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4,

  • plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4,

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period,

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period.

  • (‘A’ has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.)

D is 10%.

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under rule 7.4.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3A In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A the Company provides the following information:

(a) The period for which the approval will be valid

The approval under this Resolution 3 for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be valid until the earlier of:

  • the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which approval is obtained;

  • the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; and

  • the date of approval by ordinary Shareholders of a significant change to the Company’s activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or the date of approval by ordinary Shareholders of a disposal of a major asset under ASX Listing Rule 11.2 or such longer period if allowed by the ASX.

(b) The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued under Rule 7.1A.2

The issue price for each Equity Security issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will not be less than 75% of the VWAP for securities in that class over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the securities; or

  • if the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date above, the date on which the securities are issued.

  • (c) The purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 may be used

As noted above, the 10% Placement Capacity may be used for issue of securities for cash consideration only, the proceeds of which will be applied to fund the Company’s existing and future activities, appraisal of corporate opportunities, investment in new businesses (if any), the costs incurred in undertaking placement(s) of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.A and for general working capital.

page 12

(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution

There is a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing ordinary Shareholders that may result from an issue of Equity Securities under rule 7.1A, including the risk that:

  • the market price for the Company’s ordinary Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date this approval is given; and

  • the ordinary Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date.

Table 1 shows the dilution of Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary Shares for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A2.

The table also shows:

  • two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable ‘A’ is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

The number of ordinary Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlement 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

  • two examples of where the issue price of ordinary Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Table 1 has been prepared based on the following assumptions:

  • Variable A is based on the number of Shares on issue on the date of this Notice.

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  • The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued Share capital at the time of issue.

  • The table shows only the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity and not under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • The issue of Equity Securities under the additional placement capacity includes only ordinary Shares.

The issue price of $0.06 was the closing price of Shares as traded on ASX as at 5:00pm on Monday, 17 October 2022. This price may fluctuate between the time of preparing this Notice and the date of the Meeting.

(e) Allocation policy

The Company’s allocation policy for issues under the 10% Placement Capacity is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue.

The identity of the allottees of the Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including rights issues or other issues in which existing Shareholders may participate;

  • the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • the financial position of the Company; and

  • advice from the Company’s advisors.

(f) Previous issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A2 in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting

There have been no previous issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A2 in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting.

(g) Board recommendation

The Directors do not (save for as otherwise set out in this Notice) currently have any specific intention to make any further issue of Equity Securities without approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 in the next 12 months, unless such issue falls under an exception to the 15% threshold in ASX Listing Rule 7.2. However, the Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company to avail itself of the 10% Placement Capacity, as this will enhance the Company’s flexibility to finance its operations through raising equity capital, should the Directors consider it to be in the best interests of the Company to do so.
