How to vote

Shareholders can vote by either:

  • attending the Meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate Shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or

  • appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the Proxy Form accompanying this Notice of Meeting and by submitting their proxy appointment and voting instructions in person, by post, electronically via the internet or by facsimile.

Voting in person (or by attorney)

Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and their attendance recorded. To be effective a certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the original Power of Attorney, must be received by the Company in the same manner, and by the same time as outlined for proxy forms below.

Voting by a Corporation

A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.

Voting by proxy

  • A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.

  • The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).

  • A proxy need not be a Shareholder.

  • The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.

  • If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit. However, where a Restricted Voter is appointed as a proxy, the proxy may only vote on Resolutions 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 in accordance with a direction on how the proxy is to vote or, if the proxy is the Chair of the Meeting and the appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

  • Should any resolution, other than those specified in this Notice, be proposed at the Meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolution as they think fit.

  • If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the Shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.

  • Shareholders who return their Proxy Forms with a direction how to vote, but who do not nominate the identity of their proxy, will be taken to have appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a Proxy Form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the Meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions. Proxy appointments in favour of the Chair of the Meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used, where possible, to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions. These rules are explained in this Notice.

  • To be effective, proxies must be received by 9.00am (AWST time) on Sunday, 23 October 2022. Proxies received after this time will be invalid.

  • Proxies may be lodged using any of the following methods:

  • Online www.advancedshare.com.au/ investor-login

  • By mail Advanced Share Registry Limited 110 Stirling Hwy, Nedlands WA 6009; or PO Box 1156, Nedlands WA 6909

  • By email [email protected] In person Advanced Share Registry Limited, 110 Stirling Hwy, Nedlands WA 6009

  • By fax +61 8 6370 4203

  • The Proxy Form must be signed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder's attorney. Proxies given by corporations must be executed in accordance with the Corporations Act. Where the appointment of a proxy is signed by the appointer's attorney, a certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the power itself, must be received by the Company at the above address, or by facsimile, and by 9.00am (AWST time) on Sunday, 23 October 2022. If facsimile transmission is used, the Power of Attorney must be certified.

In accordance with paragraphs 7.11.37 and 7.11.38 of the Corporations Regulations, the Board has determined that a person's entitlement to vote at the Annual General Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the Register of Shareholders as at 4.00pm (AWST time) on Sunday, 23 October 2022.

2 Resolution 1 – Non Binding Resolution to adopt Remuneration Report

2.1 Background

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to put to its Shareholders a resolution that the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2022 Annual Report be adopted.

The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the second Annual General Meeting ( Spill Resolution ), to approve calling a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must then convene a Spill Meeting within 90 days of the second Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors

who were in office when the applicable Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors.

The remuneration report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 did not receive a vote of more than 25% against its adoption at the Company’s last annual general meeting held on 30 November 2021.

The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors, sets out remuneration details for each Director and any service agreements and sets out the details of any equity based compensation.

The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

  • 1,075,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.0001 each issued on 11 July 2022 to Mr James Barrie (the subject of Resolution 10),

(together, the Remuneration Securities ).

6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

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

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, each of Mr Gautam Varma and Mr Brian Talbot is a related party of the Company.

Resolutions 5, 6 and 8 relate to the issue, or agreement to issue, Remuneration Securities to Mr Gautam Varma (or his nominee(s)), which is a financial benefit that requires Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

Shareholder approval is not being sought for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act on the basis that the benefits are considered by the Board (in the absence of Mr Gautam Varma) to constitute reasonable remuneration and therefore, the exception in section 211 applies to Resolutions 5, 6 and 8. Section 211 provides that Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 in circumstances where the benefit constitutes remuneration which would be reasonable given the Company’s and the related party’s circumstances.

Resolution 7 relates to the issue of Performance Options to Mr Brian Talbot (or his nominee(s)), which is a financial benefit that requires Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

Shareholder approval is not being sought for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act on the basis that the benefits are considered by the Board (in the absence of Mr Brian Talbot) to constitute reasonable remuneration and therefore, the exception in section 211 applies to Resolution 7. Section 211 provides that Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 in circumstances where the benefit constitutes remuneration which would be reasonable given the Company’s and the related party’s circumstances.

The grant of the Remuneration Securities to Mr Gautam Varma and Mr Brian Talbot or their nominees encourages those Directors to have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company’s objectives and to provide an incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through Share ownership.

Under the Company’s current circumstances, the Directors consider (in the absence of Mr Gautam Varma with respect to his Remuneration Securities the subject of Resolutions 5, 6 and 8, and in the absence of Mr Brian Talbot with respect to his Remuneration Securities the subject of Resolution 7) that the incentives intended represented by the grant of the Remuneration Securities are a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide a reward and an incentive, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as the payment of additional cash compensation.

6.6 ASX Listing Rule 7.4

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 Remuneration Securities do not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet 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 respective dates on which the Company issued the relevant Remuneration Securities.

15

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a 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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of the Remuneration Securities under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolutions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 are passed, the relevant Remuneration Securities approved under the resolution 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 on which the Company issued the relevant Remuneration Securities.

In addition, the Remuneration Securities pursuant to Resolutions 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10 will not be included in calculating the Company’s 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under that rule.

If this Resolutions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 are not passed, the relevant Remuneration Securities will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date on which the Company issued the relevant Remuneration Securities.

In addition, the Remuneration Securities pursuant to Resolutions 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10 will be included in calculating the Company’s additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under that rule.

The following information in relation to the Remuneration Securities the subject of Resolutions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

6.7 Voting

Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolutions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 as set out in the relevant Resolutions in the Notice. Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on these Resolutions.

7 Resolution 11 – Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity

7.1 Background

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.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate ).

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

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

If this Resolution 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.

17

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in 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.

7.2 The number of Equity Securities which may be issued pursuant to the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate

Based on the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice, the Company will have 559,479,810 Shares on issue and therefore, subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under this Resolution, 55,947,981 Equity Securities will be permitted to be issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A. Shareholders should note that the calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate is a moving calculation and will be based the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 at the time of issue of the Equity Securities. That formula is:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months immediately preceding the date of issue or agreement ( Relevant Period ):

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • (i) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

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

  • (iii) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • plus the number of Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • (i) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

  • (ii) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • plus the number of party paid Shares that become fully paid in the Relevant Period;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the Relevant Period.

Note that ‘A’ is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

D is 10%

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the Relevant Period where the issue or agreement to issue has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

18

7.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • If the Resolution is passed, the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate will be valid during the period from the date of the Meeting and will expire on the earlier of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting;

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

  • (iii) the time and date on which the Company receives approval by Shareholders for a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • The Equity Securities to be issued will be in an existing class of quoted securities and will be issued for cash consideration at an issue price per Equity Security of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in the 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 Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within ten Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Shares are being issued for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition, continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets and general working capital;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted. There is also a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate was approved; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities; or

Note : This table assumes:

  • No Options are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • The issue of Equity Securities under the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, for the purposes of the above table, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purposes of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2, with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or ratified under Listing Rule 7.4, except where such approval is sought in a Resolution set out in this Notice.

The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • The identity of the persons to whom Shares will be issued is not yet known and will be determined on a case by case basis having regard to market conditions at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities and the Company’s allocation policy, which involves consideration of matters including, but not limited to:

  • (i) the ability of the Company to raise funds at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities and whether the raising of any funds under such placement could be carried out by means of an entitlement offer, or a placement and an entitlements offer;

  • (ii) the dilutionary effect of the proposed issue of the Equity Securities on existing Shareholders at the time of proposed issued of Equity Securities;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
