In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised that:

  • a Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the member appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.

Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that changes to the Corporations Act made in 2011 mean that:

  • if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (ie as directed); and

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (ie as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair, the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (ie as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 7

1.1 Placement

On 17 November 2023, Asra Minerals Limited (ACN 002 261 565) (the Company ) announced that it had received binding commitments from new and existing investors (including Directors and Company management) to raise approximately $2.5 million through a placement of 211,141,703 Shares ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $0.012 per New Share ( Placement ).

Under the Placement, the Company also agreed to issue, subject to shareholder approval, three (3) free attaching Options ( New Options ) for every two (2) New Shares subscribed for (291,712,554 New Options in aggregate excluding Director participation of a further 25,000,000 New Options which is the subject of Resolutions 5 to 7). The New Options will have an exercise price of $0.018 and expire on 1 February 2026. The terms of the New Options are outlined in Schedule 1 of this Notice of Meeting.

On 27 November 2023, the Company issued 172,416,670 New Shares (approximately $2.06 million) comprised of 28,475,999 New Shares pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being the subject of Resolution 1) and 143,940,671 New Shares pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A mandate, which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 31 May 2023 (being the subject of Resolution 2).

The issue of the remaining 16,666,667 New Shares to the Directors is the subject of Resolutions 5 to 7, as noted in Section 1.3 of this Notice of Meeting.

The funds raised from the Placement will be applied to fast-track exploration activities across the Company’s portfolio in Western Australia, including exploration, geochemistry, and further expansion of its highly prospective Lake Johnston and Lake Cowan lithium projects in the southern Yilgarn region.

1.2 Lead Manager

The Company engaged GBA Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 643 039 123) ( GBA Capital ) to act as lead manager to the Placement pursuant to a lead manager mandate entered into between the Company and GBA Capital on 14 November 2023 ( Lead Manager Mandate ), the material terms of which are summarised in Schedule 2 of this Notice of Meeting.

Subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 4, the Company will issue up to 55,000,000 New Options to GBA Capital for services relating to the Placement on the same terms and conditions as the New Options under the Placement, the terms of which are outlined in Schedule 1 of this Notice of Meeting. If the balance of the Placement (being 22,058,366 New Shares amounting to approximately $264,700) is settled, GBA Capital will be entitled to a

12

further 2 million New Options pursuant to the terms of the Lead Manager Mandate, which the Company will issue utilising its existing placement capacity.

1.3 Director participation

In addition, Directors Paul Summers, Rob Longley and Mathew Longworth seek to participate in the Placement on the same terms as the non-related party Placement participants for an aggregate sum of 16,666,667 New Shares and 25,000,000 New Options. This Director participation is in addition to the Placement and the Company will raise a further $200,000 from the participation, bringing the total amount raised from approximately $2.3 million to $2.5 million (including the balance of the Placement that is yet to be settled).

The Director participation is subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval (being the subject of Resolutions 5 to 7).

1.4 Resolutions

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification for the issue of the New Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the New Options to non-related party Placement participants pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the New Options to GBA Capital (or its nominee) pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolutions 5 to 7 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of New Shares and New Options to Directors Paul Summers, Rob Longley and Mathew Longworth (or their respective nominees) pursuant to Lising Rule 10.11.

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF NEW SHARES – LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

2.1 General

As set out in Section 1.1 above, 172,416,670 New Shares were issued by the Company pursuant to the Placement on 27 November 2023.

2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

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 12-month 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%.

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 31 May 2023.

The issue of the New Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the New Shares.

2.3 Listing Rule 7.4

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed 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 in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under

13

Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the New Shares.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification for the issue of the New Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the New Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the New Shares.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the New Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the New Shares.

2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:

  • (a) Identity of the persons to whom securities were issued

The New Shares were issued to sophisticated and professional investors who were introduced to the Company by GBA Capital. None of the sophisticated and professional investors are a related party of the Company or material investor.[1]

143,940,671 Shares were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2).

  • (c) A summary of the material terms of the securities

The New Shares issued to non-related party Placement participants were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares.

As detailed in Section 1.1, the Company agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue three (3) free attaching options for every two (2) New Shares issued to subscribers in the Placement (up to 291,712,554 New Options in aggregate). This figure includes the New Options to be issued if the balance of the Placement (being 22,058,366 New Shares amounting to approximately $264,700) is settled. If the balance of the Placement is not settled, the number of New Options to be issued under this Resolution 3 will be reduced by a corresponding amount.

The terms of the New Options are outlined in Schedule 1 of this Notice of Meeting.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the New Options to the non-related party Placement participants.

3.2 Regulatory requirements

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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue of New Options under the Placement does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the New Options. In addition, the issue of New Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the New Options.

3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3

3.4 Board Recommendation

4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE NEW OPTIONS – GBA CAPITAL

4.1 General

As set out in Section 1.2, the Company has entered into the Lead Manager Mandate pursuant to which the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to 55,000,000 New Options to GBA Capital in part consideration for acting as lead manager to the Placement.

The material terms of the Lead Manager Mandate are summarised in Schedule 2 of this Notice of Meeting.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the New Options to GBA Capital.

4.2 Regulatory requirements

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

The issue of the New Options does not fit within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the issue of the New Options requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the New Options to GBA Capital.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the New Options to GBA Capital.

5. RESOLUTIONS 5, 6 AND 7 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE NEW SHARES AND NEW OPTIONS TO PAUL SUMMERS, ROB LONGLEY AND MATHEW LONGWORTH

5.1 General

As set out in Section 1.3 above, Directors Paul Summers, Rob Longley and Mathew Longworth wish to participate in the Placement on the same terms as non-related party Placement participants.

Accordingly:

  • (a) Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 8,750,000 New Shares and 13,125,000 New Options to Paul Summers (or his nominee);

  • (b) Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 6,250,000 New Shares and 9,375,000 New Options to Rob Longley (or his nominee); and

  • (c) Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 1,666,667 New Shares and 2,500,000 New Options to Mathew Longworth (or his nominee),

(together, the Director Placement Securities ).

Accordingly, Resolutions 5 to 7 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Placement Securities to Paul Summers, Rob Longley and Mathew Longworth (or their respective nominees).

5.2 Regulatory requirements

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, unless a specified exception applies, a company must not issue or agree to issue securities to a related party without the approval of ordinary shareholders. A “related party”, for the purposes of the Listing Rules, has the meaning given to it in the Corporations Act, and includes the directors of a company.

As such, Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11 as Resolutions 5 to 7 propose the issue of up to 16,666,667 New Shares and 25,000,000 New Options under the Placement to the Directors, who are related parties of the Company by virtue of their directorships.

18

As Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not also required under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 5 to 7 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Securities 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) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 1.1 above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Securities (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Placement Securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 5 to 7 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Securities and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.

5.3 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 to 7:

  • (a) Name of person to receive securities

  • (i) Paul Summers (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 5;

(b) Nature of relationship between person to receive securities and the Company Paul Summers, Rob Longley and Mathew Longworth are Directors of the Company and, as such, are persons who fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1.

(c) Maximum number and class of securities to be issued The maximum number of Director Placement Securities to be issued is 16,666,667 New Shares and 25,000,000 New Options comprising:

  • (i) 8,750,000 New Shares and 13,125,000 New Options to Paul Summers (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 5;

  • (ii) 6,250,000 New Shares and 9,375,000 New Options to Rob Longley (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 6; and

  • (iii) 1,666,667 New Shares and 2,500,000 New Options to Mathew Longworth (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 7.

  • (d) Material terms of the securities

The New Shares to be issued to the Directors will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares and will rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares.

The New Options will be issued on the same terms as the New Options under the Placement, the terms of which are outlined in Schedule 1 of this Notice of Meeting.

The Company will apply for the New Options to be quoted on the ASX.

  • (e) Date of issue

The Company will issue the Director Placement Securities under Resolutions 5 to 7 as soon as possible after the date of the Meeting and in any event within a month of the Meeting.

19

(f) Issue price or other consideration

The issue price will be $0.012 per Share, being the same issue price as the New Shares.

The New Options are free attaching options and therefore have no issue price.

(g) Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of the funds raised

The purpose of the issue of the Director Placement Securities is to fast-track exploration activities across the Company’s portfolio in Western Australia, including exploration, geochemistry, and further expansion of its highly prospective Lake Johnston and Lake Cowan lithium projects in the southern Yilgarn region.

The Director Placement Securities to be issued are not intended to remunerate or incentivise Paul Summers, Rob Longley or Mathew Longworth.

(h) Relevant agreement

The Director Placement Securities are not being issued under any agreement.

  • (i) Voting exclusion statement

  • A voting exclusion statement for Resolutions 5 to 7 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.

5.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” to “related parties” by a public company. Chapter 2E prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

  • (b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

A “related party” is widely defined under the Corporations Act and includes the directors of the Company. As such, the Directors are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

A “financial benefit” is construed widely and in determining whether a financial benefit is being given, section 229 of the Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. section 229 of the Corporations Act includes as an example of a financial benefit, the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party.

The issue of the Director Placement Securities under Resolutions 5 to 7 constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to a related party.

One of the nominated exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is where the provision of the financial benefit is on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and the related party were dealing at arm’s length (or on terms less favourable than arm’s length).

Approval is not being sought under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in Resolutions 5 to 7 as it is the view of the Board that the issue of the Director Placement Securities by the Company to Directors Paul Summers, Rob Longley and Mathew Longworth is being made on an arm’s length basis as the Director Placement Securities are on the same terms as the Shares and Options to be issued to sophisticated and professional investors under the Placement.

5.5 Board Recommendation

The Board (other than Paul Summers) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

20

The Board (other than Rob Longley) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

The Board (other than Mathew Longworth) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

6. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 8 TO 11

6.1 Expiry of ASROB Options

The Company previously had 524,650,697 quoted options on issue exercisable at $0.035 that expired on 30 November 2023 ( ASROB Options ).

Official quotation of the ASROB Options on ASX ceased at close of trading on 24 November 2023, being four business days prior to their expiry date.

6.2 Options Offer

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and shareholder approval, the Company intends to offer up to 262,325,350 New Options to all Australian and New Zealand-based holders of the Company’s ASROB Options on the basis of one (1) New Option for every two (2) ASROB Options held as at 5.00pm on 30 November 2023 ( Eligible Optionholders ) ( Options Offer ), which is the expiry date of the ASROB Options ( Record Date ).

The New Options will have the same terms as the New Options under the Placement, the terms of which are outlined in Schedule 1 of this Notice of Meeting. Eligible Optionholders will be able to subscribe for the New Options for $0.001 per New Option. The Company will apply for quotation of the New Options.

The Company will issue a prospectus in relation to the Options Offer upon receiving Shareholder approval (being the subject of Resolution 8) on or about 17 January 2024 ( Prospectus ).

The Options Offer will be lead managed by GBA Capital pursuant to the terms of the Lead Manager Mandate, a summary of which is outlined in Schedule 2 of this Notice of Meeting.

Further, the number of New Options to be offered includes up to 10,105,454 New Options (in aggregate) to which Directors of the Company will be entitled (and for which Shareholder approval is being sought under Resolutions 9 to 11). The Directors will, subject to Shareholder approval, have the right to participate in the Options Offer on the same terms and conditions as Eligible Optionholders.

In the event Shareholders approve the issue of New Options to the Directors under Resolutions 9 to 11 and the Directors take up the New Options offered to them, the number of New Options to be issued in reliance on Resolution 8 will be reduced by a corresponding amount. Conversely, if Shareholders do not approve the issue of New Options to Directors under Resolutions 9 to 11 or the Directors do not take up the New Options offered to them, the New Options offered to the Directors will instead form part of the shortfall under the Options Offer and will be issued to investors identified by the Board, in conjunction with GBA Capital, that are not related parties of the Company.

The purpose of the issue of the New Options is to raise approximately $262,512 (before costs) and to enable the holders of ASROB Options to continue to participate in the ongoing development of the Company. The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the issue towards the costs of the offer and working capital.

The Company confirms that no related parties will be issued New Options pursuant to the Options Offer, other than the Directors for whom Shareholder approval is being sought under Resolutions 9 to 11.

6.3 Indicative timetable for the Options Offer

The indicative timetable for the Options Offer is set out below:

21

Record Date 5.00pm on 30 November 2023
Lodgement of the Prospectus with ASIC and ASX 17 January 2024
Opening Date 17 January 2024

Issue of New Options 2 February 2024
Expected date of official quotation of New Options
under the Options Offer
6 February 2024

Note: These dates are indicative only and subject to change. The Company reserves the right, subject to the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, to vary the above dates. In particular, the Company reserves the right to extend the closing date of the Options Offer, to accept late applications either generally or in particular cases or to withdraw the Options Offer without prior notice. The commencement of quotation of New Options is subject to confirmation from ASX.

6.4 Resolutions

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the New Options pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

7. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE NEW OPTIONS

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the New Options pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

The proposed issue of the New Options does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the New Options. In addition, the issue of the New Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The background to the proposed issue of the New Options to Directors Paul Summers, Rob Longley and Mathew Longworth is set out in Section 6 of this Notice of Meeting.

Each of Resolutions 9 to 11 are conditional on Resolution 8 being passed, meaning that in order for Resolutions 9 to 11 to have effect, Resolution 8 must also be passed by Shareholders.

The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval under Resolutions 8 to 11, to issue up to 10,105,454 New Options comprising:

  • (a) 9,426,882 New Options to Mr Paul Summers (or his nominees) pursuant to Resolution 9;

  • (b) 500,000 New Options to Mr Rob Longley (or his nominees) pursuant to Resolution 10; and

  • (c) 178,572 New Options to Mathew Longworth pursuant to Resolution 11,

(together, the Director Participation Options ) on the terms and conditions set out below.

8.2 Regulatory requirements

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, unless a specified exception applies, a company must not issue or agree to issue securities to a related party without the approval of ordinary shareholders. A “related party”, for the purposes of the Listing Rules, has the meaning given to it in the Corporations Act, and includes the directors of a company.

As such, Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11 as Resolutions 9 to 11 propose the issue of up to 10,105,454 New Options (in aggregate) under the Options Offer to the Directors, who are related parties of the Company by virtue of their directorships.

As Shareholder approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not also required under Listing Rule 7.1.

Each of Resolutions 9 to 11 are conditional on Resolution 8 being passed, meaning that in order for Resolutions 9 to 11 to have effect, Resolution 8 must also be passed by Shareholders.

If Resolutions 9 to 11 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Participation Options 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) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 6.2 above. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Participation Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Participation Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 9 to 11 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Participation Options and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Options Offer.

8.3 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 9 to 11:

  • (a) Name of person to receive securities

The Director Participation Options will be issued to the following persons:

24

  • (i) Paul Summers (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 9;

  • (ii) Rob Longley (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 10; and

  • (iii) Mathew Longworth (or his nominee) pursuant to Resolution 11.

(b) Nature of relationship between person to receive securities and the Company

Paul Summers, Rob Longley and Mathew Longworth are Directors of the Company and are, as such, persons who fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1.

  • (c) Maximum number and class of securities to be issued

The maximum number of Director Participation Options to be issued is 10,105,454 in the proportions set out in Section 8.1.

(d)

Material terms of the securities

The Director Participation Options will be issued on the same terms as the New Options under the Placement, the terms of which are outlined in Schedule 1 of this Notice of Meeting.

The Company will apply for the New Options to be quoted on the ASX.

(e) Date of issue

The Director Participation Options will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and in accordance with the indicative timetable outlined in Section 6.3 in this Notice of Meeting.

(f) Issue price or other consideration

The issue price will be $0.001 per Director Participation Option, being the same issue price as the Options Offer. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Director Participation Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Director Participation Options).

(g) Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of the funds raised

The purpose of the issue of Director Participation Options is to raise capital and to enable the Directors who held ASROB Options at the Record Date to continue to participate in the ongoing development of the Company. The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the issue towards the costs of the offer and working capital.

The Director Participation Options to be issued are not intended to remunerate or incentivise Paul Summers, Rob Longley or Mathew Longworth.

  • (h) Relevant agreement

The Director Participation Options are not being issued under any agreement.

  • (i) Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement for Resolutions 9 to 11 is included in the Notice of Meeting preceding this Explanatory Statement.

8.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” to “related parties” by a public company. Chapter 2E prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

25

(b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

A “related party” is widely defined under the Corporations Act and includes the directors of the Company. As such, the Directors are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

A “financial benefit” is construed widely and in determining whether a financial benefit is being given, section 229 of the Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. section 229 of the Corporations Act includes as an example of a financial benefit, the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party.

The issue of the Director Participation Options under Resolutions 9 to 11 constitutes the provision of a financial benefit to a related party.

One of the nominated exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is where the provision of the financial benefit is on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and the related party were dealing at arm’s length (or on terms less favourable than arm’s length).

Approval is not being sought under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in Resolutions 9 to 11 as it is the view of the Board that the issue of the Director Participation Options by the Company to the Directors is being made on an arm’s length basis as the Director Participation Options are on the same terms as the New Options to be issued to Eligible Optionholders under the Options Offer.

8.5 Board Recommendation

The Board (other than Paul Summers) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9.

The Board (other than Rob Longley) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10.

The Board (other than Mathew Longworth) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11.
