PROXIES
A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting has a right to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of the Shareholder. A proxy need not be a Shareholder and can be either an individual or a body corporate. If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as a proxy that body corporate will need to ensure that it:
-
a) appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at the Meeting, in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act; and
-
b) provides the Company with satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to commencement of the Meeting.
If such evidence is not received before the Meeting, then the body corporate (through its representative) will not be permitted to act as proxy.
A Shareholder who is entitled to cast two (2) or more votes may appoint two (2) proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If no proportion or number is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder's votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.
In order to vote on behalf of a company that is a Shareholder, a valid Power of Attorney in the name of the attendee, must be either lodged with the Company prior to the Meeting, or be presented at the Meeting before registering on the attendance register for the Meeting.
Forms to appoint proxies, and the Power of Attorney (if any) under which they are signed, must be lodged online at www.advancedshare.com.au/investor-login , posted to or lodged at the Company’s Share Registry, Advanced Share Registry Limited at 110 Stirling Highway, Nedlands WA 6009 or PO Box 1156, Nedlands WA 6909, or sent by facsimile to +61 8 6370 4203 or email to [email protected] not less than 48 hours before the time of the Meeting or resumption of an adjourned meeting at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote.
An instrument appointing a proxy:
-
(a) shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney, or if the appointor is a corporation, either under seal or under the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney;
-
(b) may specify the manner in which the proxy is to vote in respect of a particular Resolution and, where an instrument of proxy so provides, the proxy is not entitled to vote on the Resolution except as specified in the instrument;
-
(c) shall be deemed to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll;
-
(d) shall be in such form as the Directors determine and which complies with section 250A of the Corporations Act; and
-
(e) which appoints the Chair as proxy but does not specify the way in which the proxy is to vote on a particular Resolution will be recorded as voting in favour of the Resolutions (subject to the other provisions of these notes on proxies and any required voting exclusions including those in the Notice) as this is the Chair’s voting intention.
Corporations
If a representative of a nominated corporation is to attend the meeting the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” must be lodged with, or presented to, the Company before the commencement of the meeting. A Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.
Proxies given by corporate Shareholders must be executed in accordance with their constitutions or signed by a duly authorised attorney. A proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion, except where the proxy is required by law or the Constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in their capacity as proxy.
The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.
Undirected and Directed Proxies
The Company encourages all Shareholders who submit proxies to direct their proxy how to vote on each Resolution.
4
The Company will not disregard any votes cast on a Resolution by a person if the person is the Chair voting an undirected proxy and their appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy.
If you intend to appoint the Chair as your proxy, you can direct him how to vote by marking the boxes for each resolution (for example, if you wish to vote “for”, “against” or “abstain” from voting), or you cannot mark any of the boxes and give the Chair your express authority to vote your undirected proxy (in which case the Chair will vote in favour of all Resolutions).
If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
In accordance with the Corporations Act, any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the meeting will automatically default to the Chair, who is required to vote proxies as directed.
It is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of shareholders of Galan Lithium Limited in connection with the business specified to be conducted in the Notice of General Meeting at the general meeting of Shareholders to be held at Hall Chadwick, 283 Rokeby Road, Subiaco, Western Australia 6008 at 11.00am WST on 12 October 2021.
The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information that the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
The Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Memorandum and Proxy Form are all important documents. The Directors recommend that Shareholders read them carefully in their entirety before making a decision on how to vote at the General Meeting.
A Glossary of terms frequently used in this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum can be found at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum.
1 RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF THE PREVIOUS ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES (RESOLUTION 1 - ASX LISTING RULE 7.1 AND RESOLUTION 2 - ASX LISTING RULE 7.1A)
1.1 Background
On 13 August 2021 the Company announced that it received commitments to raise A$50 million (before costs) via a two-tranche Share placement to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors at A$1.15 per Share ( Placement ). The issue of 25,872,594 Shares ( Tranche 1 Shares ) under that placement was completed on 20 August 2021 ( Tranche 1 Shares Issue Date ). 24,326,574 Tranche 1 Shares were issued without prior Shareholder approval out of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and are the subject of the ratification sought in Resolution 1, and 1,546,020 Tranche 1 Shares were issued without prior Shareholder approval out of the Company’s 10% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A and are the subject of the ratification sought under Resolution 2. Shareholder approval for the completion of tranche 2 (17,605,667 Shares) of the Placement is being sought pursuant to Resolution 3.
The proceeds raised by the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares were, or will be, used to fund the following:
-
Drilling activities at the Company’s Hombre Muerto West Project to establish well fields for production and to convert existing Resources to Reserves.
-
Drilling activities at the Company’s Candelas Project to convert existing Resources to Reserves.
-
Ongoing exploration activities at the Company’s HMW, Candelas and Greenbushes South Projects.
-
Completion of feasibility studies at the HMW and Candelas Projects.
-
General working capital.
Resolution 1 and Resolution 2 together seek Shareholder approval and ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of the 25,872,594 Tranche 1 Shares.
1.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX 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 is annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company sought and obtained such approval at its annual general meeting on 27 November 2020. The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and its 10% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 12 month period following the Tranche 1 Shares Issue Date.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 will be treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purposes of those Listing Rules if shareholders subsequently approve it and the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and so does not reduce the entity’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that Listing Rule.
6
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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, Resolutions 1 and 2 together seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the 25,872,594 Tranche 1 Shares under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of 24,326,574 Tranche 1 Shares on the Tranche 1 Shares Issue Date will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement Shares Issue Date.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of 24,326,574 Tranche 1 Shares on the Tranche 1 Shares Issue Date will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement Shares Issue Date.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of 1,546,020 Tranche 1 Shares on the Tranche 1 Shares Issue Date will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Tranche 1 Shares Issue Date.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of 1,546,020 Tranche 1 Shares on the Tranche 1 Shares Issue Date will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Tranche 1 Shares Issue Date.
1.3 ASX Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements
The following information is provided for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
- (a) Number and class of securities issued

1.4 Directors' Recommendation
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 as it allows the Company greater flexibility to issue further Equity Securities representing up to 15% (under ASX Listing Rule 7.1) of the total number of Shares on issue in any 12 month period without Shareholder approval.
The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 as it allows the Company greater flexibility to issue further Equity Securities representing up to 10% (under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) of the total number of Shares on issue in any 12 month period without Shareholder approval.
2 RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL FOR THE ISSUE OF TRANCHE 2 PLACEMENT SHARES
2.1 Background
Please see Section 1.1 above for further information about the Placement, which is the subject of Resolution 3. Tranche 1 of the Placement, consisting of the issue of 25,872,594 Shares in aggregate, is the subject of Resolutions 1 and 2. The completion of tranche 2 of the Placement, being the issue of a further 17,605,667 Shares, is subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which approval is being sought pursuant to Resolution 3.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue and allotment of up to 17,605,667 Shares ( Tranche 2 Shares ) at A$1.15 per Share to sophisticated or professional investors, who will not be related parties of the Company or their associates. The investors were identified by Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited, which acted as Lead Manager and Bookrunner to the Placement.
2.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX 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 proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the Company’s available capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A as at the date of this Notice. The Company therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with tranche 2 of the Placement by the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares. In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to complete tranche 2 of the Placement and so will not be able to raise the corresponding funds of up to $20,245,517.
2.3
ASX Listing Rule Disclosure Requirements
The following information is provided for Resolution 3 in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3:
(a) The name of the persons to whom the entity will issue the securities or the basis on which those persons were or will be identified or selected
The Shares will be issued to institutional, sophisticated or professional investors identified by Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited, which investors will not be related parties of the Company or their associates.
(b) Number and class of securities that the entity will issue
A maximum of 17,605,667 Shares will be issued.
The Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects with all other ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.
- (c) The date or dates on or by which the entity will issue the securities.
The Shares will be issued by no later than three (3) months after the date of this Meeting or such later date as may be approved by ASX (including such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules).
8
(d) The price or other consideration the entity will receive for the securities
The Shares will be issued at a price of $1.15 per Share.
(e) The purpose of the issue, including the intended use of funds raised

-

A Corporate Representative Form may be obtained from Advanced Share Registry.
APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY
If you wish to appoint the Chair as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair, please write that person’s name in the box in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.
SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROXY FORM
Individual:
Where the holding is in one name, the security holder must sign.
Joint Holding:
DEFAULT TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING
If you leave Step 1 blank, or if your appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting, then the proxy appointment will automatically default to the Chair of the Meeting.
VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any resolution by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if he is appointed by default) but do not direct him how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chair may vote as he sees fit on that resolution.
APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY
You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
(a) on each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and
- (b) return both forms together.
COMPLIANCE WITH LISTING RULE 14.11
In accordance to Listing Rule 14.11, if you hold shares on behalf of another person(s) or entity/entities or you are a trustee, nominee, custodian or other fiduciary holder of the shares, you are required to ensure that the person(s) or entity/entities for which you hold the shares are not excluded from voting on resolutions where there is a voting exclusion. Listing Rule 14.11 requires you to receive written confirmation from the person or entity providing the voting instruction to you and you must vote in accordance with the instruction provided.
Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the security holders should sign.
Power of Attorney:
If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with Advanced Share Registry, please attach the original or a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
