NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

TO BE HELD AT:

Norton Rose Fulbright

Level 15, RACV Tower, 485 Bourke Street, Melbourne, Victoria At 10:00am on Friday, 23[rd] August 2013

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board, I’m pleased to invite you to a General Meeting of the Shareholders of Environmental Clean Technologies Limited ( Company or ECT ) which will be held at the offices of Norton Rose Fulbright, Level 15, 485 Bourke Street, Melbourne at 10am on Friday, 23[rd] August 2013.

The enclosed Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum set out the items of business for the General Meeting. They deal with capital management and corporate governance matters and the election of Mr. Glenn Fozard as a non-executive Director. Please read these documents carefully.

Background

The successful demonstration of ECT’s Coldry technology is currently the key objective of the Company and is the gateway to commercial deployment and revenue generation. Revenue is the key to delivering fundamental shareholder value.

Engineering development for the Coldry demonstration plant has followed a methodical, iterative process to deliver the increasing levels of accuracy and certainty around cost estimates necessary to attract the capital required to execute the demonstration project.

Working with Arup, we expect to deliver ‘construction ready’ design and engineering outputs by the end of August 2013, positioning the Company to advance the Coldry demonstration plant subject to external funding drivers.

Resolutions

In support of the above, the first resolution seeks to ratify prior issues of Shares to enable the Company to refresh its capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for new issues of securities without Shareholder approval. This is a key capital management tool and essential to providing your Board with the flexibility necessary to deliver outcomes in line with the above objective.

In addition, Shareholders will be asked to approve the issue of Shares upon the progressive conversion of the Arup Bond. The face value of the Bond, including its extension announced on 5 July 2013 is $3,900,000. A total face value of $2,500,000 has to date been issued and the Company has received conversion notices for part of the Bond, totaling $1,500,000. This conversion is on the terms outlined in the ASX announcements dated 21 November 2012 and 5 July 2013.

The Bond has been issued in consideration for the work being undertaken by Arup to deliver the design and engineering program and the ‘construction ready’ engineering works associated with the development and delivery of the Coldry demonstration plant.

Finally, Shareholders will be asked to elect Mr. Glenn Fozard as a Director following his appointment to the Board on 17 July, 2013 and formally approve the Board’s policy pertaining to the engagement and remuneration of non-executive Directors in the provision of additional services or special exertions by them beyond their normal services as non-executive Directors.

The enclosed Notice of Meeting and the Explanatory Memorandum provide further detail of the Resolutions and I encourage you to read them in full.

The Meeting will only be dealing with the matters on the Agenda and there will be no general update provided at the Meeting. Any questions from Shareholders at the Meeting will only be dealt with if confined to matters directly related to the Resolutions before the Meeting.

I look forward to seeing you at the Meeting on 23rd August 2013.

Yours sincerely,

Mike Davies Chairman 22 July 2013

A Proxy Form is enclosed separately

TO BE VALID, THE PROXY FORM ENCLOSED FOR USE AT THE MEETING MUST BE COMPLETED AND RETURNED NO LATER THAN 10:00 AM (MELBOURNE TIME) ON WEDNESDAY, 21[st] AUGUST 2013

2. Resolution 2 – Approval of future issue of Shares for Strategic Deliverable Bond (Arup Bond)

Background

On 21 November 2012, the Company announced to ASX that it had executed an agreement in favour of Arup for the issue of the Strategic Deliverable Bond to fund the Design for Tender program and other preconstruction associated engineering works.

Under the terms of the Strategic Deliverable Bond, the Company was entitled to draw down up to $2.5 million to fund the design of those engineering works. On 5 July 2013, the maximum amount which could be drawn down under the Strategic Deliverable Bond was increased to $3.9 million.

Prior to the date of the Notice of Meeting, ECT has drawn down $2,500,000 and also issued 186,707,083 Shares under the Strategic Deliverable Bond in conversion of $1,500,000 of the amount drawn down. The sum of $1,000,000 drawn down under the Strategic Deliverable Bond remaining unconverted.

All the Shares issued to the date of the Notice of Meeting on conversion of $1,500,000 drawn down under the Strategic Deliverable Bond are subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 1.

Arup’s rights under the Strategic Deliverable Bond are generally assigned to Menzies Securities or its clients to fund the design and engineering works undertaken by Arup.

A holder or assignee of those rights can issue a conversion notice. Shares can be issued at an issue price equal to 90% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of Shares sold on ASX ( VWAP ) over the 5 trading days preceding the date of the conversion notice.

For example, if the lowest daily VWAP for Shares during the 5 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice was 1.1 cents, a conversion of $100,000 drawn down under the Strategic Deliverable Bond will result in the issue of 10,101,010 new Shares.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares on conversions of amounts drawn down under the Strategic Deliverable Bond.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue or agree to issue more than 15% of its capital within a 12 month period without the approval of Shareholders.

By obtaining the prior approval of Shareholders to the issue of Shares on conversion of amounts drawn down under the Strategic Deliverable Bond, the issue of those Shares will not come within the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 contains certain requirements as to the contents of a notice of meeting sent to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The following information is included in this Explanatory Memorandum for that purpose:

  • The maximum number of Shares which may be issued is calculated by reference to the total amount which may be converted under the Strategic Deliverable Board divided by the issue price of those Shares calculated in accordance with the formula outlined above. As at the date of the Notice of Meeting, $1,000,000 has been drawn down under the Strategic Deliverable Bond and not converted and $1,400,000 remains undrawn. The maximum amount which may be converted under the Strategic Deliverable Bond is $2,400,000 (assuming all amounts under the Strategic Deliverable Bond are drawn down).

  • The Shares will be issued progressively, and in any event, no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting. Shares issued after that time on conversion of amounts drawn down under the Strategic

Page 8 of 12

www.ectltd.com.au

==> picture [45 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

Deliverable Bond must fall within the 15% limit set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 10% limit set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A or otherwise be approved by Shareholders in general meeting.

  • Arup’s rights under the Strategic Deliverable Bond are generally assigned to Menzies Securities or its clients. Accordingly, the allottees of the Shares on conversion of these amounts drawn down under the Strategic Deliverable Bond will generally either be Arup or Menzies Securities or clients of Menzies Securities. The allottees of the Shares referred to in Resolution 1 on satisfaction of a conversion notice are clients of Menzies Securities.

  • Each Share issued will be issued as a fully paid ordinary share on the capital of ECT and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares.

  • Shares are issued to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Strategic Deliverable Bond in respect of amounts drawn down under it. Amounts drawn down under that Bond are used to satisfy fees and other amounts payable by the Company to Arup in relation to the engineering design and planning works being undertaken by Arup.

  • A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

Recommendation

The Board unanimously RECOMMENDS that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 .

3. Resolution 3 – Approval of Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration Policy

Background

Clause 13.7 of the Constitution of ECT provides that Directors shall be paid out of the funds of the Company, by way of remuneration for their services as Directors.

The total aggregate fixed sum term per annum to be paid to Directors from time to time must not exceed the sum determined by Shareholders in general meeting. Currently, this fixed sum is $250,000 per annum. That sum cannot be varied except by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting.

The Constitution also provides that if any of the Directors being willing are called upon to perform extra services or make any special exertions on behalf of the Company or its business, the Directors may remunerate this Director in accordance with such services or exertions, and this remuneration may be either in addition to or in substitution for his or her share of the remuneration provided for by clause 13.7 of the Constitution of the Company (outlined above).

Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration Policy

The Board has adopted the following policy in relation to the remuneration of non-executive Directors where such Directors have been called upon to perform extra services or make any special exertions on behalf of the Company or its business:

  • Any remuneration paid to a non-executive Director must be reasonable given the circumstances of ECT and the non-executive Director (including responsibilities involved in the performance of the additional services or special exertions).

  • Wherever practicable, the Company will obtain an independent quotation or estimate from an appropriate independent party in respect of those additional services or special exertions.

  • If the non-executive Director is an appropriate person to perform those additional services or special exertions, the remuneration must be benchmarked against any such quotation or estimate obtained by the Company.

  • The managing director (or chief executive officer) or, his or her designate, in the absence of the managing director (or chief executive officer) must report to the Board on the budgetary impact to the Company of the proposed engagement of the non-executive Director. Any engagement of a non-

Page 9 of 12

www.ectltd.com.au

executive Director to provide those additional services or special exertions must be unanimously approved by all Directors (other than the non-executive Director providing his or her services).

  • The non-executive Director must report in writing to the Board at the completion of the additional services or special exertions in such form as the Board may reasonably require.

  • All amounts paid to non-executive Directors in respect of providing those additional services or special exertions will be disclosed in the annual and half-yearly financial statements of ECT.

  • The above policy also applies to entities associated with a Director, where the additional services or special exertions of the non-executive Director are provided through that entity.

Recommendation

The Board unanimously RECOMMENDS that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 .

Resolution 4 – Election of Mr. G Fozard as a Director

Clause 13.4 of the Company’s Constitution provides that the Board may at any time appoint a person to be a Director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors. Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.

Mr. G Fozard was appointed as a Director by the Board on 17 July 2013 and, in accordance with clause 13.4 outlined above, must retire at the Meeting but, being eligible offers himself for election.

Mr. Fozard brings to ECT a strong commercial background and extensive experience in the finance and capital markets at both board and executive management level. He has over 13 years experience in the finance sector holding various senior management and sales roles, including 5 years at Macquarie Bank’s Securitised Lending division.

With in-depth experience in tailored financing solutions for SME’s in the cleantech and agricultural industries, Mr. Fozard is the founding partner of Greenard Willing, a specialist financial advisory firm.

Mr. Fozard has held an advisory position with ECT for over 5 years and has contributed significantly towards the capital raising for the Company during that time.

If the Chairman of the Meeting is your proxy or is appointed your proxy by default, unless you indicate otherwise by ticking either the "for", "against" or "abstain" box in relation to each Resolution, you will be authorising the Chairman to vote in accordance with the Chairman's voting intentions on each Resolution, even if a Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.

If no directions are given my proxy may vote as the proxy thinks fit or may abstain.

  • If you mark the Abstain box for a particular item, you are directing your Proxy not to vote on your behalf on a show of hands or on a poll and your votes will not be counted in computing the required majority on a poll.
