Resolutions

Ratification of Prior Issue of Shares

Resolution 1 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Tenement Consideration

Shares

1.1 Background

On 26 November 2025, the Company announced that it entered into a binding Heads of Agreement with Mr Ross Fredrick Crew to acquire 100% of five tenements that materially expanded the northern strike extent of the Company’s Queens Gold Project in the Leonora Goldfields, Western Australia ( Binding Heads of Agreement ).

1.2 Material Commercial Terms

The material commercial terms of the Binding Heads of Agreement are:

  • a) $50,000 cash deposit upon signing (with exclusive due diligence period of 30 days);

  • b) Issue of 6,666,667 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.045 per share under Listing Rule 7.1 capacity and escrowed for 6 months from the date of issue ( Tenement Consideration Shares ); and

  • c) 2% Net Smelter Return royalty.

1.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

This Resolution proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the prior issue and allotment of 6,666,667 Tenement Consideration Shares, which were issued on 28 November 2025 ( Issue Date ).

All of the Tenement Consideration Shares was issued by utilising the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

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 that period.

The issue of Tenement Consideration Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

1.4 ASX Listing Rule 7.4

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.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.

1.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of the issue.

If this Resolution is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of the issue.

1.6 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

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

  • (a) The Tenement Consideration Shares were issued to Mr Ross Frederick Crew.

  • (b) The Company issued 6,666,667 Tenement Consideration Shares.

  • (c) The Tenement Consideration Shares were fully paid on issue and ranked equally in all aspects with all existing fully paid ordinary shares previously issued by the Company.

  • (f) The Tenement Consideration Shares were issued under the Binding Heads of Agreement with Ross Frederick Crew, a summary of the material terms of which is set out in Section 1.2 of this Notice of Meeting.

  • (g) A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution.

  • (h) The issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1.

  • 1.7 Directors’ recommendation

The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for this Resolution.

The Chair intends to vote in favour of this Resolution.

2.2 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

This Resolution proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the prior issue and allotment of Tranche 1 Placement Shares, which was issued on 13 February 2026 ( Issue Date ), with:

  • 32,773,404 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • 26,293,381 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.

12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

At last year’s Annual General Meeting held on 25 November 2025, the Company sought and obtained approval of its Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1A to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions (to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A) and, as it has not been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively used up all of the expanded 25% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A as at the time of the issue, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the Issue Date (noting that the extra 10% under Listing Rule 7.1A will expire unless re-approved by the Company’s Shareholders on an annual basis at its annual general meeting).

2.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.4

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 Listing Rule 7.1.

A note to Listing Rule 7.4 also provides that an issue made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A can be approved subsequently under Listing Rule 7.4 and, if it is, the issue will then be excluded from variable “E” in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (which means that the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A is not reduced).

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.

To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to subsequently approve the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares under the Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 25% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rules 7.1 (15%) and 7.1A (10%) without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

If this Resolution is not passed, the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares under the Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s 25% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rules 7.1 (15%) and 7.1A (10%) without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

2.5 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

5.2 Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company, as a listed company, must not issue equity securities to persons in a position of influence without Shareholder approval.

A person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 includes:

  • (a) a related party;

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

  • (c) 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;

  • (d) an Associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; and

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) above is such that, in the ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders.

As each of the allottees under Resolutions 5 and 6 are Directors, they are persons in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

To this end, Resolutions 5 and 6 seek the required Shareholder approval to issue the Director Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Directors under Resolutions 5 to 6 under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

If one or more of Resolutions 5 to 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with one or more of the proposed issue of the relevant Director Tranche 2 Placement Shares and access additional funding.

If one or more of Resolutions 5 to 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue of one or more of the relevant Director Tranche 2 Placement Shares and will be unable to access the relevant additional funding.

5.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:

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

  • (b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.

The proposed issue of Director Tranche 2 Placement Shares (which is a type of equity security, for the purposes of the Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act) constitutes the giving of a financial benefit.

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

The non-conflicted Directors of the Company (being Mr Marks and Mr Grayson) carefully considered the issue of these Director Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Lill and Mr Morris and formed the view that the giving of this financial benefit are on arm’s length terms, as the Director

EverGold Minerals Limited |General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

19

Tranche 2 Placement Shares are proposed to be issued on the same terms as offered to non-related parties of the Company.

Accordingly, the non-conflicted Directors of the Company believe that the issue of these Director Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Lill and Mr Morris fall within the “arm’s length terms” exception as set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act and relies on this exception for the purposes of this Resolution. Therefore, the proposed issue of Director Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr Lill and Mr Morris requires Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 only.

5.4 Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13:

  • (a) The allottees are:

  • (i) Simon Lill or his nominee (Resolution 5); and

  • (ii) Steve Morris or his nominee (Resolution 6).

  • (b) Each of the allottees under Resolutions 5 to 6 are Directors of the Company (or their associates) and fall within the categories referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1.

  • (c) The maximum number of Director Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be issued is as follows:

  • (i) 5,714,286 Director Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Simon Lill or his nominee (Resolution 5); and

  • (ii) 857,143 Director Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Steve Morris or his nominee (Resolution 6).

  • (d) The Director Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be fully paid on issue and rank equally in all aspects with all existing fully paid ordinary shares previously issued by the Company.

  • (e) The Director Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued within 1 month of Shareholder approval being obtained by the Company.

  • (f) The Director Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be offered at an issue price of A$0.035 per Share.

  • (g) The funds raised from the Placement will be utilised by the Company for the Use of Placement Share Funding as described in Section 2.1 of the “Background” Section in the Explanatory Statement to Resolution 2 of this Notice.

  • (h) The issue of the Director Tranche 2 Placement Shares is not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Directors.

  • (i) Other than those set out in this Notice, there are no other material terms of the agreements in relation to the Placement.

  • (j) A voting exclusion statement for each of Resolutions 5 to 6 is contained in the Notice of Meeting.

The effect of this Resolution is for Shareholders to approve the issue of these Acquisition Shares to fall within an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which will allow the Company to issue these without using the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

7.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

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 that period.

An issue of equity securities that is approved by the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 will not use up the Company’s 15% limit and therefore does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to approve the issue of the Acquisition Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the issue of the Acquisition Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date on which the Acquisition Shares are issued.

If this Resolution is not passed, and the Company proceeds with the issue, the Acquisition Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date on which the Acquisition Shares are issued.

8.2 Director and Related Party Approvals

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders:

  • (a) a director of the Company;

  • (b) an associate of a director of the Company; or

  • (c) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders.

As Glenn Grayson is a director of the Company, the proposed issue of Incentive Options constitutes the acquisition of securities under an employee incentive scheme for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

To this end, this Resolution seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Incentive Options to Glenn Grayson under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14, in accordance with Listing Rule 10.12 (exception 8), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 10.11.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue of Incentive Options.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue.

EverGold Minerals Limited |General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

24

For the avoidance of doubt and unless the contrary intention appears, if the Company seeks Shareholder approval to issue securities to Directors (or their nominees), including under Listing Rule 10.11 or Listing Rule 10.14, as outlined in this Notice or future approvals, these issuances will not form part of the maximum number of securities previously approved by shareholders under Listing Rule 7.2 Exemption 13(b).

8.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:

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

  • (b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.

The proposed issue of Incentive Securities constitutes the giving of a financial benefit.

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

As Glenn Grayson is a Director of the Company, he is a “related party” of the Company. Therefore, the proposed issue of Incentive Options to Glenn Grayson requires Shareholder approval under both Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14.

The non-conflicted Directors of the Company (being Simon Lill, Steve Morris and Peter Marks) carefully considered the issue of these Incentive Options to Glenn Grayson, and formed the view that the giving of this financial benefit as part of their remuneration would be reasonable, given the circumstances of the Company, the quantum and terms of the Incentive Options, and the responsibilities held by Glenn Grayson in the Company.

Accordingly, the non-conflicted Directors of the Company believe that the issue of these Incentive Options to Glenn Grayson fall within the “reasonable remuneration” exception as set out in section 211 of the Corporations Act and relies on this exception for the purposes of this Resolution. Therefore, the proposed issue of Incentive Options to Glenn Grayson requires Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 only.

8.4 Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15

The following information in relation to the issue of Incentive Options to Glenn Grayson is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15:

  • (a) The allottee is Glenn Grayson (and/or his nominee).

  • (b) Glenn Grayson falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.14.1 as they are a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

  • (c) The maximum number of Incentive Options that may be acquired by Glenn Grayson is 8,000,000.

  • (d) The current total remuneration package for Glenn Grayson is $80,640, comprising of directors’ fees of $72,000 and superannuation payment currently at 12.0% or $8,640. If the Incentive Options are issues, the total remuneration package of Glenn Grayson will increase $182,984 to $263,624, being the value of the Incentive Options as outlined in (g) below.

  • (e) Since the Incentive Plan was last approved by Shareholders on 26 June 2025, the Company has issued the following Incentive Securities under it and the original plan approved on 19 September 2022:

(f) The material terms of the Incentive Options are set out in annexure D. The Company has agreed to issue the Incentive Options for the following reasons:

  • (i) the issue of the Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;

  • (ii) the issue to Glenn Grayson will align the interests of the recipient with those of Shareholders;

  • (iii) the issue is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Glenn Grayson;

  • (iv) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the recipient in respect of an issue of Options is also beneficial to the Company as it means the recipient is not required to immediately sell the Options to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; and

  • (v) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Options on the terms proposed.

  • (g) The Company values the Incentive Options at $182,984, based on the table below:

SECURITY NUMBER METHODOLOGY VALUE PER OPTION VALUE FOR CLASS OF

Any additional persons who become entitled to participate in the Incentive Plan after the resolution was approved and who were not named in the notice of meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

  • (m) A voting exclusion statement and voting prohibition statement applies to this Resolution.

Company’s Constitution

Resolution 9 – Amendment to the Constitution

9.1 Background

A Company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 9 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to amend its existing Constitution ( Amended Constitution ). The main proposed changes are noted below:

Change of Name of Company

As previously approved by shareholders, the name of the Company changed on 25 November 2025 from Evergreen Lithium Limited to Evergold Minerals Limited.

Accordingly, the Company has prepared an Amended Constitution which updated the Constitution for the new Company name.

Securities issued under the Employee Incentive Plan (new clause 2.16)

Under the new Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which came into effect on 1 October 2022, offers under an employee incentive plan that do not require a monetary payment (e.g. zero exercise price options or performance rights) can be issued without an issue cap. However, offers requiring a monetary payment (whether upon grant or upon exercise/vesting of the awards and issue of the underlying shares) must be accompanied by an ‘ESS offer document’ and must comply with an issue cap. The cap is set at 5% under the Corporations Act unless raised by a company’s constitution. Company’s may include an issue cap in its constitution to allow for more than 5% of securities to be issued under the plan. The proposed Constitution has set the issue cap at 10%.

Accordingly, the Company has prepared an Amended Constitution which inserts the following as the new clause 2.16:

‘2.16 Securities Issued under the Employee Incentive Schemes

Subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act and for the purposes of section 1100V(2) of the Corporations Act, the issue cap is 10%.’

Copy of Amendment Constitution

Prior to the Meeting, a copy of the Amended Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours. A copy of the Amended Constitution is also attached to this Notice under Annexure F.

A complete signed copy of the Amended Constitution will be tabled at the Meeting.

9.2 Voting Requirements

Pursuant to section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a modification to the Company’s Constitution can only be effected by way of a Special Resolution passed by its Shareholders. Therefore, this Resolution is a Special Resolution that can only be passed if at least 75% of the total votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on this Resolution are voted in its favour.

A summary of the material terms of the Company’s Plan is set out below.

that term is defined in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act)
in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as defined
in the Corporations Act) and has been determined by the Board to be
eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
Purpose The purpose of the Plan is to:

assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible
Participants;
(b)
link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value
creation; and
(c)
align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of
the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated
Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible
Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the
form of a Plan Share, Option, Performance Right or other
Convertible Security (Securities).
Maximum number
of Convertible
Securities
The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which involves
monetary consideration if the number of Shares that may be issued, or
acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered under an
invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that
may be issued as a result of all invitations under the Plan during the 3
year period ending on the day of the invitation, will exceed 5% of the
total number of issued Shares at the date of the invitation (unless the
Constitution specifies a different percentage and subject to any limits
approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) – refer
to Resolution 3 and Section 4.1.
The maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued under the
Plan in reliance on to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), following

Income Tax Assessment Act 1997(Cth)). The Board may delegate its
powers and discretion.

EverGold Minerals Limited |General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

41

Eligibility,
invitation and
application
The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant
may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible
Participant to apply for any (or any combination of) the Securities
provided under the Plan on such terms and conditions as the Board
decides.
On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the
Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed
application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application
from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.
If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible
Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in
whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.
Grant of Securities The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed
application, grant the Participant the relevant number and type of
Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation,
the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
Rights attaching to
Convertible
Securities
AConvertible Securityrepresents a right to acquire one or more Plan
Shares in accordance with the Plan (for example, an Option or a
Performance Right).
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, the holder:
(a)
does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in
any Share the subject of the Convertible Security other than as
expressly set out in the Plan;
(b)
is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a meeting of
the shareholders of the Company;
(c)
is not entitled to receive any dividends declared by the
Company; and
(d)
is not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares (see
Adjustment of Convertible Securities section below).
Restrictions on
dealing with
Convertible
Securities
Convertible Securities issued under the Plan cannot be sold, assigned,
transferred, have a security interest granted over or otherwise dealt
with unless in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan
(including in the case of death or total or permanent disability of the
holder) with the consent of the Board in which case the Convertible
Securities may be exercisable on terms determined by the Board.
A holder must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of
hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has
been granted to them.
Vesting of
Convertible
Securities
Any vesting conditions applicable to the Convertible Securities will be
described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied
and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to
the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant
Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is
issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be
considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting

EverGold Minerals Limited |General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

42

conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or
otherwise waived by the Board, that security will lapse.
Forfeiture of
Convertible
Securities
Convertible Securities will be forfeited in the following circumstances:
(a)
in the case of unvested Convertible Securities only, where the
holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer
employed or their office or engagement is discontinued with the
Company and any Associated Bodies Corporate (as defined in
the Corporations Act) (theGroup);
(b)
where a Participant acts fraudulently, dishonestly, negligently, in
contravention of any Group policy or wilfully breaches their
duties to the Group and the Board exercises its discretion to
deem some or all of the Convertible Securities held by a
Participant to have been forfeited;
(c)
where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in
accordance with the Plan;
(d)
on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or
(e)
on the Expiry Date,
subject to the discretion of the Board.
Listing of
Convertible
Securities
Convertible Securities granted under the Plan will not be quoted on the
ASX or any other recognised exchange. The Board reserves the right in
its absolute discretion to apply for quotation of Convertible Securities
granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised exchange.
Exercise of
Convertible
Securities and
cashless exercise
To exercise a security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of
exercise (Exercise Notice) and, subject to a cashless exercise (see next
paragraph below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the
Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Securities (if
subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in
the invitation or vesting notice.
In the case of Options, subject to the Board’s approval, in lieu of paying
the aggregate exercise price specified in the Exercise Notice, the
Participant may elect a cashless exercise (Cashless Exercise) whereby
the Board will issue to the Participant that number of Shares (rounded
down to the nearest whole number) calculated in accordance with the
following formula:
S=O*
(MVS-EP)
MVS
Where:
S =
number of Shares to be issued on the exercise of the
Options.
O =
number of Options being exercised.
MVS
=
market value of shares, being the volume weighted average
price per Share traded on the ASX over the five trading days
immediately preceding the date of exercise.
EP = Exercise Price of the Options.

EverGold Minerals Limited |General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

43

For the avoidance of doubt, if the sum of the above calculation is zero or
negative, then the holder will not be entitled to use Cashless Exercise.
Convertible Securities may not be exercised unless and until that
security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier
date as set out in the Plan rules.
Timing of issue of
Shares and
quotation of
Shares on exercise
Within five business days after the issue of a valid notice of exercise by a
Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that
Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled
under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining
unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
Restriction periods
and restrictions on
transfer of Shares
on exercise
If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid exercise
of a Convertible Security are subject to any restrictions as to the
disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may
implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the
compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
Additionally, Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are
subject to the following restrictions:
(a)
if the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that
complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Shares
issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities may not be
traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at
its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to
section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act;
(b)
all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are
subject to restrictions imposed by applicable law on dealing in
Shares by persons who possess material information likely to

all Shares issued on exercise of the Convertible Securities are
subject to the terms of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy.
Rights attaching to
Shares on exercise
All Shares issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities will rank
equally in all respects with the then Shares of the Company.
Change of control If a change of control event occurs (being an event which results in any
person (either alone or together with associates) owning more than 50%
of the Company’s issued capital), the Board may in its discretion
determine the manner in which any or all of the holder’s Convertible
Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner
that allows the holder to participate in and/or benefit from any
transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control
event. The Board may specify in the Invitation how the Convertible
Securities will be treated on a change of control event occurring, or the
Board determining that such event is likely to occur, which may vary
depending upon circumstances in which the Participant becomes a
leaver and preserve some or all of the Board’s discretion under this rule.

EverGold Minerals Limited |General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Participation in
entitlements and
bonus issues
Subject always to the rights under the following two paragraphs,
Participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital
offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement
issues.
Adjustment for
bonus issue
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than
an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the

receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been
issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the
Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

(including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or
cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each
Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent
necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a
reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding Convertible
Securities for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of
holders upon exercise of Convertible Securities.
Amendment of
Plan
Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend
any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms
and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the
Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given
retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the
amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they
existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment
introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to
correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to
in writing by all Participants.
Plan duration The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The
Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a
fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is
terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or
suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing
that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be
cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event,
then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between
the Company and the Participant.

2.2 Issue of Shares

Without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of any existing Shares or class of Shares, unissued Shares shall be under the control of the Directors and, subject to the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and this Constitution, the Directors may at any time issue such number of Shares either as ordinary Shares or Shares of a named class or classes (being either an existing class or a new class) at the issue price that the Directors determine and with such preferred, deferred, or other special rights or such restrictions, whether with regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise, as the Directors shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.

The rights attached to any class of shares are not taken to be varied by the issue or creation of further shares ranking equally with them unless expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class.

11. WRITTEN RESOLUTIONS

Where the Company has only one Shareholder, to the extent permitted by law, a resolution in writing signed by that Shareholder, shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of Shareholders duly convened and held.

12.6 Irregularities in giving notice

A person who attends any general meeting waives any objection that the person may have to any failure to give notice or any other irregularity in the notice of that meeting unless that person objects to the holding of the meeting at the start of the meeting.

Unless a poll is so demanded, a declaration by the chairperson that a resolution has on a show of hands been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect in the book containing the minutes of the proceedings of general meetings of the Company, is conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against the resolution.

IPO/126_30

13.21 Payment of Calls

A Shareholder is not entitled to any vote at a general meeting unless all calls presently payable by him in respect of Shares have been paid.

Where an instrument appointing a proxy has been received by the Company within the period specified in clause 13.24(e) and the Company considers that the instrument has not been duly executed or authenticated or is otherwise incomplete (other than by reason only that the name or office of the proxy has not been completed), the board, in its discretion, may:

  • (b) direct that a dividend be payable to particular Shareholders wholly or partly out of any particular fund or reserve or out of profits derived from any particular source and to the remaining Shareholders wholly or partly or of any other particular fund or reserve or out of profits derived from any other particular source and may so direct notwithstanding that by so doing the dividend will form part of the assessable income for taxation purposes of some Shareholders and will not form part of the assessable income of others.

For the purposes of this clause, the Company is authorised to distribute securities of another body corporate by way of dividend and, on behalf of the Shareholders, provide the consent of each Shareholder to becoming a Shareholder of that body corporate and the agreement of each Shareholder to being bound by the constitution of that body corporate.

  3. (b) the right in priority to any payment of dividend to any other class of Shares to a cumulative preferential dividend payable on each Dividend Date in relation to that Preference Share calculated in accordance with the Dividend Rate in relation to that Preference Share; and

==> picture [39 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

(c) no right to participate beyond the extent elsewhere specified in clause 2 of this schedule in surplus assets or profits of the Company, whether in a winding up or otherwise.

  1.

(a) during a period during which a dividend (or part of a dividend) in respect of the Preference Share is in arrears;

  • (g) during the winding up of the Company; and

  • (h) in any other circumstances in which the Listing Rules require holders of preference shares to vote.

  • The Board may only allot a Preference Share where by resolution it specifies the Dividend Date, the Dividend Rate, and whether the Preference Share is or is not, or at the option of the Company is to be, liable to be redeemed, and, if the Preference Share is a Redeemable Preference Share, the Redemption Amount and Redemption Date for that Redeemable Preference Share and any other terms and conditions to apply to that Preference Share.

  • The Issue Resolution in establishing the Dividend Rate for a Preference Share may specify that the dividend is to be one of:

  • (a) fixed;

  • (b) variable depending upon any variation of the respective values of any factors in an algebraic formula specified in the Issue Resolution; or

  • (c) variable depending upon such other factors as the Board may specify in the Issue Resolution,

  • and may also specify that the dividend is to be a Franked Dividend or not a Franked Dividend.

  • Where the Issue Resolution specifies that the dividend to be paid in respect of the Preference Share is to be a Franked Dividend the Issue Resolution may also specify:

  • (a) the extent to which such dividend is to be franked (within the meaning of the Tax Act); and

==> picture [39 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

  • (b) the consequences of any dividend paid not being so franked, which may include a provision for an increase in the amount of the dividend to such an extent or by reference to such factors as may be specified in the Issue Resolution.

  • Subject to the Corporations Act, the Company must redeem a Redeemable Preference Share on issue:

  • (a) on the specified date where the Company, at least 15 Business Days before that date, has given a notice to the holder of that Redeemable Preference

64

IPO/126_30

Share stating that the Redeemable Preference Share will be so redeemed on the specified date; and

  • (b) in any event, on the Redemption Date,

but no Redeemable Preference Share may be redeemed and no notice of redemption may be given before the date set by the Directors (if any) upon which that Redeemable Preference Share is issued.
