This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in Galilee Energy Limited ( Company ) in connection with the business to be considered at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 11.00am (Brisbane time) on Tuesday, 23 November 2021.
This Explanatory Memorandum comprises part of the accompanying Notice of Meeting. Capitalised terms are defined in the “Definitions’” section at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum. Details of the business to be considered at this Meeting are set out below.
Purpose of Explanatory Memorandum
The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with information which may be relevant to the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the Meeting.
Annual Financial Report
The Corporations Act requires that the Report of the Directors, the Auditor’s Report and the Financial Report be presented to Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. The first item of business of the Notice of Meeting deals with the presentation of the Company's Annual Financial Report for the year ending 30 June 2021. Shareholders should consider this document and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered.
The Company’s Annual Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2021 is available on the Company’s website at: www.galilee-energy.com.au.

Questions must be received by no later than Tuesday, 16 November 2021. Copies of the questions received, and any written answers that have been prepared, will be available at the Annual General Meeting.
Resolution 1: Remuneration Report for the Year ended 30 June 2021
During this item of business, Shareholders at the meeting may comment on and ask questions about the Remuneration Report that appears in the Company’s Annual Report 2021.
Section 300A of the Corporations Act requires the Director’s Report to contain a Remuneration Report ( Report ) containing information about the Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of the remuneration of directors and senior management. The Report must also explain the relationship between the remuneration policy and the Company’s performance. The disclosure requirements stipulated in section 300A of the Corporations Act have been complied with.
The Corporations Act (sections 250R (2) and 250R (3)) provides that the vote on the adoption of the Report is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution at the Annual General Meeting are against adoption of the Report, then:
- if comments are made on the Report at the Annual General Meeting, the Company's Remuneration Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2022 will be required to include an
Page 7
explanation of the Board's proposed action in response or, if no action is proposed, the Board's reasons for this; and
- if, at the Company's 2022 Annual General Meeting, at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution for adoption of the Remuneration Report for the relevant financial year are against its adoption, the Company will be required to put to shareholders a resolution proposing that a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) be called to consider the election of Directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ). For any Spill Resolution to be passed, more than 50% of the votes cast on the resolution must be in favour of it. If a Spill Resolution is passed, all of the Directors (other than any managing director) will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting unless re-elected at that meeting.
Recommendation
The Remuneration Report forms part of the Company’s Annual Report, made in accordance with a unanimous resolution of the Directors. Each of the Directors recommends the Report to Shareholders for adoption.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this resolution.
Resolution 2: Re-election of Mr Raymond Shorrocks as a Director
Mr Ray Shorrocks was appointed to the Board by the Directors on 2 December 2013 and was last elected to the Board by shareholders at the Company’s 2016 Annual General Meeting.
Rule 79.1 of the Constitution provides that a director may not hold office for a continuous period in excess of 3 years or past the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting for re-election.
If no director would otherwise be required by rule 79.1 to submit for election or re-election, the director or directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their election. Accordingly, Ray Shorrocks retires from office in accordance with rule 79.3 and being eligible submits himself for re-election.
Mr Shorrocks has more than 27 years’ experience in corporate finance in the mining sector and has advised a diverse range of resources companies during his career at one of Australia’s largest investment banking and stockbroking/financial services firms. He has been instrumental in managing and structuring equity capital raisings as well as having advised extensively in the area of mergers and acquisitions. Mr Shorrocks has worked on mines in South America, Africa, Australia, and North America.
He also holds positions on the Boards of the ASX listed Auteco Minerals Ltd, Alicanto Minerals Ltd, Cygnus Gold Ltd and HCD Limited.
Recommendation of Directors
The Directors (other than Raymond Shorrocks) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
Special Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to seek the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.
Page 8
The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a Special Resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, which is detailed below.
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities in any existing quoted class, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 is a Special Resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholder’s present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative) are cast in favour of the resolution.
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to permit the Company to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 12 month period following the annual general meeting without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 3 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.
Additional Information
a) Equity Securities

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during up to a 12-month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

- E = is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under rule 7.4; and
“relevant period” has the same meaning as in rule 7.1.
-

-
iii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

-
v) plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4,
Note: This may include fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 17 where the issue is subsequently approved under rule 7.1.
- vi) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.
c) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of Equity Securities in the same class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
1) 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 securities; or
-
2) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (1) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
d) 10% Placement Period

Page 10
or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
f) Allocation policy
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
1) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, placement, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
2) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
3) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
4) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Meeting but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
Further, if the Company were to pursue an acquisition and were it to be successful in acquiring new resource assets or investments, it is possible that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resource assets or investments.
g) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company last obtained approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2020 annual general meeting. The Company has not issued or agreed to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the date of the of the Meeting.
h) Voting exclusion
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice of Meeting.
i) Dilution risk
If Resolution 3 is passed by Shareholders as a Special Resolution and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution to existing ordinary security holders, including the risk that:
-
1) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
2) 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 may be issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, either of which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The above table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
The table also shows two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the Deemed Price.
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
ii) No unlisted options are exercised or any into Shares or any of the unlisted performance rights vest before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has NIL unlisted options and 9,650,000 unlisted performance rights on issue at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
-
iii) 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%.
-
iv) 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 Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and does not consider issues under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Page 12
-
vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of ordinary shares in the Company. The table does not demonstrate the effect of listed or unlisted options being issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
vii) The issue price for ordinary shares in the Company is deemed for the purposes of the table to be $0.50 ( Deemed Price ), being the closing price of these shares on ASX on 8 October 2021. This price is indicative only and does not consider the 25% discount to market that these shares may be issued at.
-
viii) ‘A’ is the current number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue and assumes full placement capacity available.
Recommendation
The Directors consider that the approval of the issue of the 10% Placement Facility described above is beneficial for the Company as it provides the Company with the flexibility to issue up to the maximum number of securities permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A in the next 12 months (without further Shareholder approval), should such an issue be required.
Accordingly, each of the Directors recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this resolution.
