Additional AGM Resolution & Addendum to the Notice of Meeting

Advanced materials company, First Graphene Limited (“ FGR ” or “ the Company ”) (ASX: FGR) advises that an additional resolution will be considered at the Annual General Meeting ( AGM ) to be held at 10:00 (AEDT) on Friday, 23 November 2018 at Royal Automobile Club of Australia, 89 Macquarie Street Sydney NSW 2000.

Mr Clive Carver was casually appointed as an additional Non-Executive Director by the FGR Board on 22 October 2018. Pursuant to clause 14.4 of the Company’s Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, a director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the board must not hold office, without re- election, past the next AGM.

The appointment of Mr Carver occurred after the Notice of Meeting for the AGM was completed and printed. Accordingly, Mr Carver’s retirement and offer for election was not able to be dealt with in t he original Notice of Meeting that was dispatched on 23 October 2018. Section 250R(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) provides that the business of an AGM may include the election of directors even if not referred to in the Notice of Meeting. Therefore, an additional Resolution 6, relating to the election of Mr Carver, will be put to the FGR shareholders at the AGM as an item of general business. As there is sufficient time prior to the proposed date of the AGM, the Company have determined to issue an Addendum to the Notice of Meeting which includes information regarding the additional Resolution 6. Please refer to the attached Addendum for further details.

The Addendum and updated proxy form (which includes Resolution 6) will be despatched to shareholders. The inclusion of Resolution 6 does not affect the validity of the original proxy form attached to the Notice of Meeting or any proxy votes made and received pursuant to that original proxy form.

About First Graphene Ltd (ASX: FGR)

First Graphene produces high quality graphene from high grade Sri Lankan vein graphite.

First Graphene seeks to develop graphene production methods and acquire graphene related intellectual property which can provide further revenue related opportunities.

About Graphene

Graphene, the well-publicised and now famous two-dimensional carbon allotrope, is as versatile a material as any discovered on Earth. Its amazing properties as the lightest and strongest material, compared with its ability to conduct heat and electricity better than anything else, means it can be integrated into a huge number of applications. Initially this will mean graphene is used to help improve the performance and efficiency of current materials and substances, but in the future, it will also be developed in conjunction with other two-dimensional (2D) crystals to create some even more amazing compounds to suit an even wider range of applications.

One area of research which is being very highly studied is energy storage. Currently, scientists are working on enhancing the capabilities of lithium ion batteries (by incorporating graphene as an anode) to offer much higher storage capacities with much better longevity and charge rate. Also, graphene is being studied and developed to be used in the manufacture of supercapacitors which can be charged very quickly, yet also be able to store a large amount of electricity.
