Terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum are defined in Section 9.

2. Financial Statements and Reports

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report, and the auditor’s report.

There is no requirement for shareholders to approve these reports. However, time will be allowed during the annual general meeting for consideration by shareholders of the financial statements and the associated directors’ and auditors’ reports.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.falconmetals.com.au.

The Company’s Annual Report is placed before the Shareholders for discussion.

No voting is required for this item.

3. Resolution 1: Adoption of Remuneration Report

3.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors of the Company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial period.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

3.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

FALCON METALS LIMITED

Page 9 of 27

Notice of General Meeting

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the Company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the Company is approved will be the directors of the company.

3.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

4. Resolution 2: Re-election of Director – Alex Dorsch

4.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled not to be subject to re-election.

Clause 7.2 of the Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Alex Dorsch, who has served as a director since 17 July 2021, retires by rotation and being eligible for re-election, seeks approval to be elected as Director pursuant to Resolution 2.

If Resolution 2 is not carried out, Mr Dorsch will no longer be a Director of the Company.

4.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Notice of General Meeting

5. Resolution 3 - 6: Approval of Unlisted Options to Mark Bennett, Tim Markwell, Alex Dorsch and Katina Law

5.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 2,520,000 Options (Related Party Options) to Mark Bennett, Tim Markwell, Alex Dorsch and Katina Law (or their nominees) (Related Parties) on the terms and conditions set out below.

To ensure the Company retains its key people, the Company has determined that the best way to reward and incentivise its board, executives and employees is via the issue of options over ordinary shares which have an exercise price that requires the share price to increase by approximately 50% (from grant date) before the options crystallise any value to the recipient while conserving cash and ensuring Falcon offers competitive market based remuneration. This results in the alignment of shareholder and board and employee interests in maximising Falcon’s share price.

Resolutions 3 to 6 seek Shareholder approval to issue the Related Party Options to the Related Parties.

5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mark Bennett, Tim Markwell, Alex Dorsch and Katina Law are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

As the Related Party Options are proposed to be issued to all the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations act applies to the issue of the Options.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

5.3 Listing Rule 10.11

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;

FALCON METALS LIMITED

Page 11 of 27

Notice of General Meeting

  • 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 the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of Related Party Options falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 3 to 6 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Options under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14.

5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 3 to 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Related Party Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 3 to 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options and the Company will have to develop an alternate plan to remunerate their directors in lieu of the grant of options.

5.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 3 to 5:

  • (a) the Related Party Options will be issued to the following persons:

  • (1) Mark Bennett (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 3;

  • (2) Tim Markwell (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 4;

  • (3) Alex Dorsch (or their nominee) pursuant to Resolution 5; and

  • (4) Katina Law (or their nominees) pursuant to Resolution 6,

  • Each of whom falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Related Party Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) is 2,520,000 comprising:

  • (1) 640,000 Related Party Options to Mark Bennett (or their nominee) (Resolution 3);

  • (2) 800,000 Related Party Options to Tim Markwell (or their nominee) (Resolution 4);

  • (3) 540,000 Related Party Options to Alex Dorsch (or their nominee) (Resolution 5); and

FALCON METALS LIMITED

Notice of General Meeting

  • (4) 540,000 Related Party Options to Katina Law (or their nominee) (Resolution 6);

  • (c) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options is set out in Schedule 1;

  • (d) the Related Party Options will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Related Party Options will occur on the same date as the meeting;

  • (e) the issue price of the Related Party Options will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Related Party Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Related Party Options);

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Related Party Options is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their roles as Directors and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate the Related Parties, which 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 the Related Parties;

  • (g) the Related Party Options are unquoted Options. The Company has agreed to issue Related Party Options to the Related Parties for the following reasons:

  • (1) the Related Party Options are unquoted; therefore, the issue of the Related Party Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;

  • (2) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the Related Parties in respect of an issue of Options is also beneficial to the Company as it means the Related Parties are not required to immediately sell the Related Party 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

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

  • (h) the number of Related Party Options to be issued to each of the Related Parties has been determined based upon a consideration of:

  • (1) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;

  • (2) the remuneration of the Related Parties; and

  • (3) incentives to attract and retain the service of the Related Parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.

The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;

Notice of General Meeting

6. Resolution 7: Approval of 10% Placement Capacity

6.1 General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the 10% Placement Capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

The potential advantages of having the 10% Placement Capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A include:

  • (a) Falcon is an exploration company, operating in a sector where quick access to capital is critical to secure exploration assets and deliver sustainable value to shareholders;

  • (b) Given this industry environment, we are asking our shareholders to give us advance approval to issue up to 25% of the issued capital without specific reference to shareholders to approve the specific transaction. This is the maximum permissible under ASX Listing Rules;

  • (c) Falcon does not necessarily expect to invoke this additional capital raising facility in a given year. However, if and when an opportunity arises, in our experience it is necessary to act quickly;

  • (d) At all times, the guiding principle of our placement allocation policy will be to advance the interests of all of our existing non-associated shareholders; and

  • (e) We are mindful of the position of long-term portfolio investors with regard to dilution risks from any deployment of this enhanced placement capacity, and will ensure that due regard is taken to this in our allocation policy through our bankers and brokers.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

6.2 Information on 10% Placement Capacity

(a) Quoted securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of Equity Securities of the Company that are quoted on ASX.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one class of Equity Securities quoted on the ASX, being Ordinary Shares (ASX Code: FAL).

  • (b) Formula for 10% Placement Capacity

FALCON METALS LIMITED

Page 16 of 27

Notice of General Meeting

If this Resolution 7 is passed, the Company may issue or agree to issue, during the 12month period after this Meeting, the number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Additional Placement Capacity = (A x D) – E

  • A = the number of fully-paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the Relevant Period:

  • plus the number of fully-paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period under an exception in ASX 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

    • 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 7.4;
  • plus the number of fully-paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within 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 7.4;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the Relevant Period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX 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;

D = 10%; and

  • E = 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 Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

6.3 Listing Rule requirements

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 7:

(a) Period for which the 10% Placement Capacity is valid

The 10% Placement Capacity will commence on the date of the Meeting at which the Shareholder approval is obtained and expire on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting (i.e. 28 November 2024), presuming Shareholder approval is obtained;

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

  • (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).

FALCON METALS LIMITED

Page 17 of 27

Notice of General Meeting

(b) Minimum Price at which equity securities may be issued

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

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

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

Use of funds raised under 10% Placement Capacity

  • (c) Use of funds raised under 10% Placement Capacity The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for:

  • (i) the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition);

  • (ii) continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets/or projects (funds would then be used for project, feasibility studies and ongoing project administration);

  • (iii) the development of the Company’s current business; and

  • (iv) general working capital.

(d)

Risk of voting dilution

If Resolution 7 is passed and the Company issues securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, then there is a risk to existing Shareholders of economic and voting dilution, including the risk that:

  • (i) the market price for Equity Securities in the same class may be significantly lower on the issue date of the new Equity Securities than on the date Shareholder approval is obtained for this Resolution; and

  • (ii) the new Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for Equity Securities in the same class on the issue date.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Shareholders following the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity (based on the formula set out above) using difference variables for the number of issued Ordinary Shares and the market price of Ordinary Shares. The table overleaf is calculated using the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 18 October 2024.

FALCON METALS LIMITED

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  • (i) There are 177,000,000 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice (ASX Code: FAL).

  • (ii) The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 18 October 2024.

  • (iii) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  • (iv) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (v) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (vi) The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  • (vii) This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.

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

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

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (1) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

FALCON METALS LIMITED

Page 19 of 27

Notice of General Meeting

  • (2) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (1) the purpose of the issue;

  • (2) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

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

  • (4) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (5) prevailing market conditions; and

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

(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 29 November 2022 ( Previous Approval ).

During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 29 November 2023, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

6.4 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice of Meeting. As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on this Resolution.

6.5 Board recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 7.

7. Resolution 8: Renewal of Proportional Takeover Provisions

7.1 General

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholders approval for the renewal of the proportional takeover provisions which are contained in Schedule 5 of the Company’s Constitution. A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s shares. Under the Corporations Act, the provisions in Schedule 5 must be renewed every three years, or they will cease to have effect.

FALCON METALS LIMITED

Page 20 of 27

Notice of General Meeting

The current provisions were adopted when the company’s constitution was approved on adoption of the Company’s constitution on 2 November 2021. Accordingly, the provisions will expire on 2 November 2024, which will be prior to the 2024 annual general meeting of Shareholders.

7.2 Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act

Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions

Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed.

Reasons for proportional takeover provisions

A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.

Knowledge of any acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions

The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (f) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;

  • (g) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority;

  • (h) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and

  • (i) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.

The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (a) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;

  • (b) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and

  • (c) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.

7.3 Board recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 8.
