In light of the rapidly evolving news and guidelines related to COVID-19, we ask that, in considering whether to attend the Meeting in person, shareholders follow, among other things, the instructions of the Public Health Agency of Canada (https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid19.html) and any applicable additional provincial and local instructions.

All shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote prior to the Meeting by any of the means described on pages 3 and 4 of the Circular accompanying this Notice.

A request for paper copies which are required in advance of the Meeting should be sent so that they are received by the Corporation by August 12, 2020 to allow sufficient time for Shareholders to receive the paper copies and to return their proxies or voting instruction forms to Intermediaries not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia) prior to the time set for the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

Voting

The board of directors of the Corporation has fixed the close of business on July 15, 2020 as the record date (the " Record Date ") for the purpose of determining Shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and vote at, the Meeting.

All Shareholders are invited to attend the Meeting and may attend in person or may be represented by proxy.

Instead, a beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for a registered Shareholder and vote the common shares in that capacity.

Only Shareholders as of the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting. Shareholders who are unable to attend the Meeting in person, or any adjournments or postponements thereof, are requested to complete, date and sign the form of proxy (registered holders) or voting instruction form (beneficial holders).

It is expected that the solicitation of proxies on behalf of management will be primarily by mail; however, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by the regular officers, employees or agents of the Corporation. The cost of soliciting proxies on behalf of management will be borne by the Corporation. The Corporation may also reimburse brokers and other persons holding Shares in their names or in the name of nominees, for their costs incurred in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners and obtaining their proxies or voting instructions.

CHESS Depository Nominees Pty Ltd. (" CDN ") is the Shareholder of record for all Shares beneficially owned by holders of CDIs. Holders of CDIs are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and attend the Meeting and may direct CDN to vote at the Meeting by using the method described in the special voting instructions for CDI holders below. Holders of CDIs are not directly registered Shareholders and must vote through CDN as described below under the heading " Special Voting Instructions for CDI Holders ".

APPOINTMENT OF PROXIES

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy (the " Proxy ") are representatives of management of the Corporation and are directors and/or officers of the Corporation. A SHAREHOLDER HAS THE RIGHT TO APPOINT A PERSON (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO ATTEND AND ACT FOR HIM/HER ON HIS/HER BEHALF AT THE MEETING OTHER THAN THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE ENCLOSED PROXY. TO EXERCISE THIS RIGHT, A SHAREHOLDER MAY STRIKE OUT THE NAMES OF THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE PROXY AND INSERT THE NAME OF HIS/HER NOMINEE IN THE BLANK SPACE PROVIDED OR COMPLETE ANOTHER PROXY. A PROXY

  • 2 -

WILL NOT BE VALID UNLESS IT IS DEPOSITED WITH COMPUTERSHARE, AT ATTENTION: PROXY DEPARTMENT, AT 100 UNIVERSITY AVENUE, 8TH FLOOR, TORONTO, ONTARIO, M5J 2Y1, NO LATER THAN 10:00 A.M. (VANCOUVER TIME) ON MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 2020, WHICH IS NOT LESS THAN 48 HOURS (EXCLUDING SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS) BEFORE THE TIME OF THE MEETING (OR ANY ADJOURNMENT OR POSTPONEMENT THEREOF, AS APPLICABLE) (THE "PROXY DEADLINE"). ALTERNATIVELY, A SHAREHOLDER MAY SUBMIT THEIR PROXY PRIOR TO THE PROXY DEADLINE ONLINE AT WWW.INVESTORVOTE.COM BY REGISTERING WITH THE CONTROL NUMBER PROVIDED ON THEIR FORM OF PROXY OR PROXIES MAY BE FAXED TO COMPUTERSHARE AT 1-866-249-7775 (WITHIN NORTH AMERICA) OR 1-416-263-9524 (INTERNATIONAL).

The Proxy must be signed by the Shareholder or by his/her attorney in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, it must either be under its common seal or signed by a duly authorized officer. Only Registered Shareholders (as defined below) are entitled to sign and deposit a Proxy.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only those Shareholders whose names appear on the central security register of the Corporation (the " Registered Shareholders "), or the persons they appoint as their proxies, are permitted to attend and vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, Shares beneficially owned by a holder (a " Non-Registered Holder ") are registered either:

  • (a) in the name of an intermediary (an " Intermediary ") that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Shares, such as, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans; or

  • (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

All holders of CDIs are Non-Registered Holders. See " Special Voting Instructions for CDI Holders ".

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Corporation has distributed copies of this Circular and the Notice (together, the " Meeting Materials ") to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.

Intermediaries are required to forward Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries will often use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

  • (a) be given a voting instruction form which must be completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder in accordance with the directions on the voting instruction form (which may in some cases permit the completion of the voting instruction form by telephone); or

  • (b) be given a Proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature) which is restricted as to the number of Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder, but which is otherwise uncompleted. This Proxy need not be signed by the Non-Registered Holder. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a Proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of Proxy and deposit it with Computershare, as described above.

  • 3 -

The purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Shares they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives either a Proxy or a voting instruction form wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Holder), the Non- Registered Holder should strike out the names of the persons named in the Proxy and insert the Non-Registered Holder's (or such other person's) name in the blank space provided or, in the case of a voting instruction form, follow the corresponding instructions on the form. In either case, NonRegistered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries and their service companies.

REVOCATION

A Registered Shareholder who has given a Proxy may revoke the Proxy by:

  • (a) completing and signing a Proxy bearing a later date and depositing it with Computershare as described above;

  • (b) depositing an instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or by the Shareholder's attorney authorized in writing: (i) at the registered office of the Corporation at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, at which the Proxy is to be used, or (ii) with the chairman of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting; or

  • (c) in any other manner permitted by law.

A Non-Registered Shareholder may revoke a voting instruction form or a waiver of the right to receive meeting materials and to vote given to an Intermediary at any time by written notice to the Intermediary, except that an Intermediary may not be required to act on a revocation of a voting instruction form or of a waiver of the right to receive meeting materials and to vote that is not received by the Intermediary in accordance with the internal procedures of such Intermediary.

VOTING OF PROXIES

The management representatives designated in the enclosed Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Shares in respect of which they are appointed by Proxy on any ballot that may be called for in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder as indicated on the Proxy and, if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of such instructions, such Shares will be voted by the management representatives FOR the issuance of Shares to each of the Related Parties (as defined below) listed below in this Circular.

The enclosed Proxy confers discretionary authority upon the management representatives designated in the Proxy with respect to amendments to or variations of matters identified in the notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Circular, management of the Corporation know of no such amendments, variations or other matters.

The Corporation has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (" TSXV ") to list the Shares issuable under the Offering.

Purpose of Approval of Resolution 1

In general terms, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities that total more than 15% of its fully paid ordinary shares in a 12 month period without the approval

  • 7 -

of its shareholders (" 15% Capacity "), subject to certain exceptions.

The Tranche 1 Placement does not fit within any of the exceptions under ASX Listing Rule 7.2, and as it has not been approved by EMN's shareholders, Tranche 1 Placement effectively uses up part of the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing EMN's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issuance under the Tranche 1 Placement.

ASX 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 issuance 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.

The Corporation 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, directors consider it to be in the best interests of the Corporation to maintain this flexibility. As such, the board of directors of the Corporation (the " Board ") unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Purpose of Approval of Resolution 2

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Corporation must not issue or agree to issue equity securities in excess of its 15% Capacity within a 12 month period without Shareholder Approval, subject to certain exceptions. Issues of equity securities made with prior Shareholder Approval are not included in the Corporation's 15% Capacity.

The issuance of CDIs and Shares to Non-Related Party Investors under the Tranche 2 Placement does not fall within any of the exceptions under ASX Listing Rule 7.2, and exceeds the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires Shareholder Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Corporation is seeking Shareholder Approval to issue the Shares and CDIs in the Tranche 2 Placement to Non-Related Party Investors for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Commitments from subscribers have been for the Tranche 2 Placement, subject to Shareholder Approval being obtained.

If Resolution 2 is not passed by the Shareholders, the Corporation will not be able to proceed with the issue of Shares and CDIs to the Non-Related Party Investors under the Tranche 2 Placement and will not be able to raise the proposed funds under the Tranche 2 Placement in accordance with the indicative timetable.

If Resolution 2 is passed by Shareholders but Resolution 1 is not passed, then the Corporation will still be able to proceed with the issue of Shares and CDIs to the Non-Related Party Investors under the Tranche 2 Placement, but the Shares and CDIs issued to Non-Related Party Investors under the Tranche 2 Placement would count towards the Corporation's 15% Capacity, which, prior to the issuance of Shares and CDIs under the Tranche 1 Placement was approximately 21,520,000.

If both Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, then none of the Shares and CDIs in the Tranche 1 Placement or Tranche 2 Placement will count towards the Corporation's 15% Capacity, and the Corporation will preserve the flexibility of being able to issue further equity securities over the next 12 months (within the 15% Capacity), without the delays involved with seeking prior Shareholder Approval. The Board will only undertake further issues of equity securities if the Board considers it is in the best interests of the Corporation to do so.

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

Purpose of Approval of Resolutions 3(a) to 3(d) (inclusive)

Four of the Corporation's directors have also agreed to support the Offering by participating in the Tranche 2 Placement, subject to Shareholder Approval being obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1. Shareholder Approval is being sought separately in relation to the proposed issue of Shares and CDIs to the Related Parties under the Tranche 2 Placement, pursuant to Resolutions 3(a) to 3(d) (inclusive).

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 a Related Party;

  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains Shareholder Approval. The issue of Shares and CDIs to Related Parties in the Tranche 2 Placement of the Offering falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. The Tranche 2 Placement therefore requires Shareholder Approval under Listing Rule 10.11.

Provided Shareholder Approval of the issuances to Related Parties under the Tranche 2 Placement is obtained at this Meeting, the Corporation will apply to list the CDIs issuable to the Related Parties on the ASX. Listing will be subject to the Corporation fulfilling all the listing requirements of the ASX.

If any (or all) of Resolutions 3(a) to 3(d) are passed with Shareholder Approval, the Corporation will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares and CDIs to relevant Related Parties under the Tranche 2 Placement and will receive the relevant consideration from the Related Party/Parties set out in Table 1 below. All subscription proceeds from the Related Parties will be applied to the same use of proceeds as the rest of the proceeds from the Offering and will be used to advance the objectives of the Corporation.

If any (or all) of Resolutions 3(a) to 3(d) do not receive Shareholder Approval, the Corporation will not be able to proceed with the issue of Shares and CDIs to the relevant Related Party/Parties under the Tranche 2 Placement and will not receive the relevant consideration set out in Table 1 below which may affect the progression of the Project. If the Corporation is unable to complete the issue of Shares and CDIs to relevant Related Parties under the Tranche 2 Placement and effect a fully subscribed Offering, the Corporation will need to obtain additional proceeds from other sources.

Table 1 sets out the names of the directors and companies controlled by directors (all of whom are considered Related Parties), the ASX Listing Rule under which each Related Party falls, the number and class of securities to be issued to each Related Party, the price per Share or CDI and in the aggregate to be received by the Corporation.

The anticipated date for the issue of the Shares and CDI, subject to Shareholder Approval, is on or about August 24, 2020, and in any case, no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3(a) to 3(d) inclusive, with each director who has an interest in the outcome of the relevant Resolution abstaining from making a recommendation in respect of the Resolution that they have an interest in.

Purpose of Approval of Resolutions 4(a) to 4(g) (inclusive) and Resolutions 5(a) and 5(b)

On July 10, 2020, the Corporation announced that, subject to receiving Shareholder Approval and approval of the TSXV, it had agreed to issue 3,071,551 Shares and 150,157 CDIs at a deemed price of C$0.08 per Share or CDI, being the closing price of the Corporation's Shares on July 9, 2020, to extinguish C$257,737 of indebtedness owed to certain creditors of the Corporation (the " Debt Settlement "). The Debt Settlement includes the proposed issuance of:

  • 841,120 Shares and 150,157 CDIs to certain non-executive directors in settlement of unpaid directors' fees (see Table 2 below);

  • 309,847 Shares to Jan Votava, an executive director of the Corporation and the Managing Director of Mangan Chvaletice s.r.o. (" Mangan" ), the Corporation's 100% owned Czech subsidiary, in settlement of outstanding compensation pursuant to Mr. Votava's employment agreement with the Corporation, in the amount of C$24,787.76; and

  • 1,920,584 Shares to two arm's-length service providers in settlement of outstanding liabilities of C$153,647, including 1,000,000 Shares to Bacchus Capital Advisers Limited (" BACL" ) in settlement of an outstanding liability to BACL of C$80,000.00, and 920,584 Shares to METz Corporation (" METz" ) in settlement of an outstanding liability to METz of C$73,646.76.

Shares and CDIs issuable to non-executive directors in settlement of a portion of unpaid directors' fees and shares issuable to Jan Votava in settlement of outstanding compensation (together, the " Related Party Debt Settlement ") fall within ASX Listing Rule 10.11 (as detailed above in " Purpose of Approval of Resolutions 3(a)

  • 10 -

to 3(d) (inclusive) "), and do not fall within any of the exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12. The Related Party Debt Settlement therefore is subject to Shareholder Approval being obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1.

Resolutions 4(a) to 4(g) (inclusive) seek the required Shareholder Approvals in respect of each Related Party Debt Settlement under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

Shares issuable to BCAL and METz in settlement of outstanding liabilities owed to BACL and METz (together, the " Non-Related Party Debt Settlement ") exceed the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (as detailed above in " Purpose of Approval of Resolution 1 " and " Purpose of Approval of Resolution 2 ") and do not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 7.2. The Non-Related Party Debt Settlement is therefore subject to Shareholder Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolutions 5(a) and 5(b) seeks the required Shareholder Approvals in respect of each Non-Related Party Debt Settlement under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Provided Shareholder Approval of the issuances to Related Parties under the Related Party Debt Settlement is obtained at this Meeting, the Corporation will apply to list the CDIs issuable to the Related Parties on the ASX. Listing will be subject to the Corporation fulfilling all the listing requirements of the ASX.

If any (or all) of Resolutions 4(a) to 4(g) and Resolutions 5(a) and 5(b) are passed with Shareholder Approval:

  • a) the Corporation will be able to proceed with issuing the Shares and CDIs under the relevant approved Debt Settlement to the relevant Related Party/Parties and/or to BACL and METz and the Corporation will settle the outstanding debt set out in Table 2 below; and

  • b) the Shares and CDIs are anticipated to be issued on or around August 24, 2020 and in any case, no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting with respect to the issuances approved under Resolutions 4(a) to 4(g), and no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting with respect to the issuances approved under Resolutions 5(a) and 5(b).

If any (or all) of Resolutions 4(a) to 4(g) and Resolutions 5(a) and 5(b) are not passed:

  • a) If Resolution 2 is not passed by the Shareholders, the Corporation will be required to settle the amounts set out in Tables 2 and 3 below in cash, which would otherwise be used to further advance the Project; and

  • b) If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed by the Shareholders, the Corporation may choose either: (i) to settle the amounts set out in Tables 2 and 3 below in cash, which would otherwise be used to further advance the Project, or (ii) proceed with any (or all) of the Debt Settlements set out in Tables 2 and 3 (noting that in this instance, the Shares and CDIs issued in connection with the Debt Settlement would count towards the Corporation's 15% Capacity).
