2.1 Impact of COVID-19 on the Meeting

The health and safety of members and personnel, and other stakeholders, is the highest priority and the Company is acutely aware of the current circumstances resulting from COVID19.

Based on the best information available to the Board at the time of the Notice, the Board considers it will be in a position to hold an 'in-person' meeting to provide Shareholders with a reasonable opportunity to participate in and vote at the Meeting, while complying with the COVID-19 restrictions regarding gatherings. The Company, however, strongly encourages Shareholders to submit proxies prior to the Meeting.

If the situation in relation to COVID-19 were to change in a way that affected the position above, the Company will provide a further update ahead of the Meeting by releasing an ASX announcement.

2.2 Voting in person

To vote in person, attend the Meeting on the date and at the place set out above.

2.3 Voting by proxy

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a 'proxy') to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

Please note that:

  • (i) a member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy;

  • (ii) a proxy need not be a member of the Company; and

  • (iii) a member of the Company entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms .

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:

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

  • (ii) 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;

  • (iii) 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 (i.e. as directed); and

Page 7

  • (iv) 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 (i.e. as directed).

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

  • (iv) 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;

  • (v) the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting;

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

  • (vii) either the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting or the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the Chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

2.4

Chair's voting intentions

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of all Resolutions, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention.

If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1 by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.

2.5 Voting Prohibition by Proxy Holders (Remuneration of Key Management Personnel)

In accordance with sections 250BD and 250R of the Corporations Act, votes on Resolution 1 must not be cast (in any capacity) by, or on behalf of:

  • (a) a member of the Key Management Personnel; or

  • (b) a Closely Related Party of such member.

However, a person described above may cast votes on Resolution 1 if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person who is excluded from voting on the relevant Resolution and:

  • (a) the person is appointed as proxy by writing that specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the Resolution; or

  • (b) the person is the Chair and the appointment of the Chair as proxy does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution, but expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

4.1

General

In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and nonexecutive Directors.

In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

Page 9

If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director (if any).

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2021 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

4.2

Board recommendation

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

Given the personal interests of all Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Leonard Troncone

5.1

General

Article 14.2 of the Constitution requires that one third of the Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must retire at each annual general meeting (or if that is not a whole number, the whole number nearest to one third, rounded down). Article 14.2 of the Constitution requires that the Directors to retire are those who have held their office as Director for the longest period since their last election or appointment to that office (unless otherwise agreed to amongst themselves).

Article 14.2 of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires by rotation is eligible for reelection.

Mr Leonard Troncone was last elected at the general meeting of the Company held on Friday, 28 February 2020. His appointment was contingent on the completion of the Proposed Acquisitions and passing of the Essential Resolutions (both as defined in the notice of meeting to shareholders dated 23 January 2020). Both of these matters were successfully settled on 30 July 2020 and Mr Troncone became a Director of the Company effective from that date.

In addition, Listing Rule 14.5 provides that at least one Director must stand for election or reelection at each annual general meeting.

Accordingly, Mr Troncone retires by rotation at this Meeting and, being eligible, seeks approval to be re-elected pursuant to Resolution 2.

If elected, the Board does not consider Mr Leonard Troncone to be an independent Director as he became an executive of the Company effective 1 October 2020.

5.2 Mr Leonard Troncone

Mr Leonard Troncone is a senior finance executive with 40 years’ hands-on experience in the Australian corporate environment, with experience gained in a range of industries including mining, mineral exploration, mine development and oil and gas, diversified engineering, manufacturing and construction, financial services and private investment.

Mr Troncone holds a Bachelor of Business degree from Curtin University of Technology (formerly the Western Australian Institute of Technology).

Mr Troncone has been involved with initial public offerings, capital raisings and the arrangement of debt facilities to fund major acquisitions and projects. Mr Troncone has made transformative contributions to newly listed entities including the delivery and creation of strong shareholder wealth in the years post-initial public offer at both United Group Limited and Decmil Group Limited (formerly Paladio Group Limited).

Mr Troncone has previously been involved in the preparation of long-term strategic plans with the single objective of delivering shareholder wealth through revenue growth, profitability growth, return on shareholders’ funds, share price growth, increasing market share, competitor analysis, industry trends and acquisition targets.

Mr Troncone does not currently hold any other material directorships.

The Company confirms that it took appropriate checks into Mr Troncone's background and experience and that these checks did not identify any information of concern.

5.3 Board recommendation

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (other than Mr Leonard Troncone) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6. Resolution 3 – Re-election of Director – Dr Ian Wilson

6.1

General

Article 14.4 of the Constitution allows the Board to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Pursuant to Article 14.4 of the Constitution, any Director so appointed must retire at the next annual general meeting of the Company and is then eligible for election by Shareholders under Article 14.4 of the Constitution.

In addition, Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a Director appointed as an addition to the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting.

On 1 September 2020, Mr Dr Ian Wilson was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.

Page 11

Accordingly, Dr Ian Wilson resigns as a Director at the Meeting and, being eligible, seeks approval to be elected as a Director pursuant to Resolution 3.

If elected, the Board considers Dr Ian Wilson to be an independent Director.

6.3 Board recommendation

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (other than Dr Ian Wilson) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

7. Resolution 4 – Approval to issue Options and Performance Rights to Dr Ian Wilson

7.1 General

The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue Options and Performance Rights to Dr Ian Wilson ( Related Party ), or his respective nominees, as follows:

Page 12

  • (a) up to a total of 500,000 Options; and

  • (b) up to a total of 500,000 Performance Rights.

The Company is in an important stage of development with significant opportunities and challenges in both the near and long-term, and the proposed issue seeks to align the efforts of the Related Party in seeking to achieve growth of the Share price and in the creation of Shareholder value. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising with Options and Performance Rights is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves. The Board believes it is important to offer these Options and Performance Rights to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.

The Options and Performance Rights are to be issued under the Company's Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ), the terms of which are summarised in Schedule 2.

The Performance Rights will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3.

The Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 4.

Resolution 4(a) and (b) seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 and section 208 of the Corporations Act for the issue of Options and Performance Rights to the Related Party (or his respective nominees) under the Plan as follows:

  • (a) up to 500,000 Options; and

  • (b) up to 500,000 Performance Rights.

If Resolution 4(a) and (b) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up to 500,000 Options and up to 500,000 Performance Rights to the Related Party (or his nominee).

If Resolution 4(a) and (b) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of up to 500,000 Options and up to 500,000 Performance Rights to the Related Party (or his nominee) and the Company will need to consider other forms of performance-based remuneration, including by the payment of cash.]

7.2

Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 requires Shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities under an employee incentive scheme to a director of the entity, an associate of the director, or a person whose relationship with the entity, director or associate of the director is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.14, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 10.11 is not required.

7.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Options:

  • (a) the Options will be issued under the Plan to the Related Party (or his nominees), a Director of the Company;

Page 13

  • (b) Dr Wilson is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director and falls into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1;

  • (c) up to a total of 500,000 Options are to be issued to the Related Party (or his nominees);

  • (g) the Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 4;

  • (h) the Board considers that Options, rather than Shares, are an appropriate form of incentive because they reward the Related Party for the achievement of financial and non-financial business objectives over a period of up to three years from the date of Listing and are closely aligned to the principle of providing an incentive in delivering shareholder wealth via the improvement in value of the Company’s securities;

  • (i) the issue price of the Options is nil, and the value attributed by the Company to the Options is $29,000;

  • (j) the Options will be issued no later than 3 years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (k) a summary of the material terms of the Plan is set out in Schedule 2;

  • (l) no loan will be provided to the Related Party in relation to the issue of the Options;

  • (g) the Board considers that Performance Rights are an appropriate form of incentive because they reward the Related Party for the achievement of financial and nonfinancial business objectives over a period of up to 3 years from the date of Listing and the Related Party will only obtain the value of the Performance Rights upon satisfaction of the relevant milestones;

  • (h) the issue price of the Performance Rights is nil and the value attributed by the Company to the Performance Rights is $36,999;

  • (i) the Performance Rights will be issued no later than 3 years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (j)

  • a summary of the material terms of the Plan is set out in Schedule 2;

  • (k) no loan will be provided to the Related Party in relation to the issue of the Performance Rights;

Page 15

  • (l) details of any Securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14;

  • (m) any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of Securities under the Plan after Resolution 4 is approved and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14; and

  • (n) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

7.5

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The grant of the Options and Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit and Dr Wilson is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in respect of the Options and Performance Rights proposed to be issued to the Related Party pursuant Resolution 4(a) and (b).

7.6

Information requirements for Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Options and Performance Rights:

(a) Identity of the Related Party to whom Resolution 4(a) and (b) (inclusive) permit financial benefits to be given

The Options and Performance Rights will be issued to Dr Ian Wilson or his respective nominees.

(b) Nature of the financial benefit

Resolution 4(a) and (b) (inclusive) seeks approval from Shareholders to allow the Company to issue the Options and Performance Rights in the amounts specified in Section 7.1 above to the Related Party or his nominees.

The Options are to be issued in accordance with the Plan in Schedule 2 and otherwise on the terms and conditions in Schedule 4.

Page 16

The Performance Rights are to be issued in accordance with the Plan in Schedule 2 and otherwise on the terms and conditions in Schedule 3.

The Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Options and Performance Rights 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 Company's existing Shares. The Company will apply for official quotation of the Shares on ASX.

(c) Valuation of financial benefit

Using a Black & Scholes valuation model, the Company's valuation of the Options and Performance Rights is in Schedule 5, with a summary below:

500,000 Options $29,000
500,000 Performance Rights $36,999 (each tranche valued at $12,333)

(d) Remuneration of Related Parties

The Related Party's current total remuneration package as at the date of this Notice is US$33,600 per annum;

(e) Existing relevant interests

At the date of this Notice, the Related Party does not hold any relevant interests in Equity Securities of the Company.

Assuming that each of the resolutions which form part of Resolution 4 are approved by Shareholders, all of the Options and Performance Rights are issued, vested and exercised into Shares, and no other Equity Securities are issued or exercised, the respective interest of the Related Party in the Company would represent approximately 0.2% of the Company's expanded capital.

(f) Trading history

The highest and lowest closing market sale prices of the Shares on ASX during the 12 months prior to the date of this Notice were:

Highest: $0.093 per Share on 16 October 2020 ¹Lowest: $0.038 per Share on 7 August 2020

¹The Company re-commenced trading on the ASX on 7 August 2020. Previously, it traded under the ASX ticker code UTR (UltraCharge Limited) and the shares were suspended for an extended period of time.

The latest available closing market sale price of the Shares on ASX prior to the date of this Notice was $0.093 per Share on 16 October 2020.

Page 17

(g) Dilution

The issue of the Options and Performance Rights will have a diluting effect on the percentage interest of existing Shareholders' holdings if the Options and Performance Rights vest and are exercised. The potential dilution effect is summarised below:

Security Proposed Maximum
Issue
Dilutionary effect
Options 500,000 0.1%
Performance Rights 500,000 0.1%

The above table assumes the current Share capital structure as at the date of this Notice (being 525,507,522 Shares on 16 October 2020) and that no Shares are issued other than the Shares issued on exercise of the Options and Performance Rights. The exercise of all of the Options and Performance Rights will result in a total dilution of all other Shareholders' holdings of 0.2% on a fully diluted basis (assuming that all Options and Performance Rights are exercised). The actual dilution will depend on the extent that additional Shares are issued by the Company.

(h) Corporate governance

The Board acknowledges the grant of the Options and Performance Rights to NonExecutive Director, Dr Ian Wilson is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of the 4th edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.

The Board considers the grant of Options to the Related Party is reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in Sections 7.3(h).

The Board considers the grant of Performance Rights to the Related Party is reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in Sections 7.4(g).

(i)

Taxation consequences

There are no taxation consequences for the Company arising from the issue of the Options and Performance Rights (including fringe benefits tax).

(j)

Director recommendations

The Directors, other than Dr Ian Wilson who declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4(a) and (b) (inclusive) due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the resolutions, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of those Resolutions for the following reasons:

  • (i) the grant of the Options and Performance Rights is a reasonable benefit to recognise the experience, past achievements and performance of Dr Ian Wilson;

  • (ii) if all the Options are exercised, based on the exercise price of $0.03, the Company will receive $15,000 (assuming the cashless exercise facility is not used);

Page 18

  • (iii) the grant of the Options and Performance Rights will further align the interests of Dr Ian Wilson with those of Shareholders to increase shareholder value;

  • (iv) the issue of the Options and Performance Rights with incentives to focus on superior performance in creating Shareholder value;

  • (v) the grant of the Options and Performance Rights is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Dr Ian Wilson; and

  • (vi) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Options and Performance Rights upon the terms proposed.

  • (k) Other information

The Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 4(a) and (b) (inclusive).

7.7 Board recommendation

Each of the resolutions which form part of Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (other than Dr Ian Wilson) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

8. Resolution 5 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

8.1

General

Listing Rule 7.1 limits the ability of a listed entity from issuing or agreeing to issue Equity Securities over a 12 month period which exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary Shares it had on issue at the start of the 12 month period ( Relevant Period ).

Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary Shares it had on the issue at the start of the Relevant Period through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to provide the Company the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 8.2(f) below). The number of Equity Securities to be

Page 19

issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 8.2(c) below).

8.2

Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Is the Company an eligible entity?

An eligible entity for the purposes of 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 as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of approximately $46 million, based on the closing price of Shares $0.093 on 16 October 2020.

If on the date of the Meeting, the Company's market capitalisation exceeds $300 million or it has been included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index, this Resolution 5 will be withdrawn.

(b) What Equity Securities can be issued?

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the eligible entity.

As at the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities; Shares.

(c) How many Equity Securities can be issued?

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that under the approved 10% Placement Facility, the Company may issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

  • A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months:

    • (1) under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (other than exception 9, 16 or 17);

    • (2) on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

      • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the 12 month period; or

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

Page 20

  • (3) under an agreement to issue securities within Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • the agreement was entered into before the 12 month period; or

    • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to be approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4; and

  • (4) with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. This does not include any issue of Shares under the Company's 15% annual placement capacity without Shareholder approval;

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months; and

  • (C) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that 'A' has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating the Company's 15% annual 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 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

  • (d) What is the interaction with Listing Rule 7.1?

The Company's ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will be in addition to its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (e) At what price can the Equity Securities be issued?

Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that 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 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,

( Minimum Issue Price ).

Page 21

(f) When can Equity Securities be issued?

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A will be valid from the date of Meeting and will expire on the earlier to occur 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; or

  • (iii) the time and date of Shareholder approval of 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),

( 10% Placement Period ).

(g) What is the effect of Resolution 5?

The effect of Resolution 5 will be to allow the Directors of the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in the Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Facility to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company will therefore remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

8.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the 10% Placement Facility:

(a) Final date for issue

The Company will only issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 8.2(f) above).

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility will cease to be valid if Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.

(b) Minimum issue price

Where the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, it will only do so for cash consideration and the issue price will be not less than the Minimum Issue Price (refer to Section 8.2(e) above).

(c) Purposes of issues under 10% Placement Facility

The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for cash consideration in order to raise funds for continued investment in the

Page 22

Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), and/or for general working capital.

(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution

Shareholders should note that there is 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 of the Meeting; 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,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting power in the Company may be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares).

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders based on the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Section 8.2(c) above) as at the date of the Notice ( Variable A ), with:

  • (i) two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Notes:

  1. The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  2. (a) the issue price is the current market price $0.093, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 16 October 2020, being the latest practicable date before finalising this Notice;

  3. (b) Variable A is 578,058,274, comprising:

    • (i) 525,507,522 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Meeting, assuming the Company has not issued any Shares in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4; and

    • (ii) a total of 52,550,752 Shares issued if Resolution 5 is passed at the Meeting.

  4. (c) the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility;

  5. (d) no convertible securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities; and

  6. (e) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Quoted Options, it is assumed that those Quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  7. The number of Shares on issue (ie Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.

  8. 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%.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

(e) 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

Page 24

of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the following factors including but not limited to:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

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

  • (iv) 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 the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new investors who are not related parties of or associates of a related party of the Company.

(f)

Issue of Equity Securities in the past 12 months

The Company obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting, held on 21 November 2018 and did not renew its 10% Placement Facility at its annual general meeting in 2019. Accordingly, in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has not issued or agreed to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

(g)

Voting exclusion statement

At the date of the Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in any such issue.

However, in the event that between the date of the Notice and the date of the Meeting, the Company proposes to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A to one or more existing Shareholders, those Shareholders' votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.

8.4 Board recommendation

Resolution 5 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

Schedule 2 Terms and Conditions of Employee Securities Incentive Plan

1. Summary of the Company's Employee Securities Incentive Plan

The Company's Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) was adopted by the Board on 28 February 2020. The full terms of the Plan may be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal business hours.

A summary of the terms of the Plan is set out below:

(a) Eligibility

Participants in the 2020 Incentive Plan consist of:

  • (i) a Director (whether executive or non-executive) of the Company and any associated body corporate of the Company (each a Group Company );

  • (ii) a full or part time employee of any Group Company;

  • (iii) a casual employee or contractor of a group company to the extent permitted by ASIC Class Order 14/1000 as amended or replaced ( Class Order ); or

  • (iv) a prospective participant, being a person to whom the offer is made but who can only accept the Offer if an arrangement has been entered into that will result in the person becoming a under subparagraphs (i), (ii) or (iii) above,

who is declared by the Board to be eligible to receive grants of Options or Performance Rights (together, Awards) under the 2020 Incentive Plan ( Eligible Participant ).

(b) Offer

The Board may, from time to time, in its absolute discretion, make a written offer to any Eligible Participant (including an Eligible Participant who has previously received an offer) to apply for Awards, upon the terms set out in the 2020 Incentive Plan and upon such additional terms and conditions as the Board determines ( Offer ).

(c) Limit on Offers

Where the Company has relied or intends relying on the Class Order to make an Offer, the Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an Offer, that the number of Shares to be received on exercise of Awards offered under an Offer, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made in reliance on the Class Order at any time during the previous 3 year period under an employee incentive scheme covered by the Class Order or an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme, will not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the Offer.

The maximum number of Securities that may be issued under the Plan, should it be approved, is 56,233,806 securities (being 10% of the total number of Shares on issue

Page 28

following completion of the Acquisitions and assuming the Minimum Subscription is raised under the Public Offer).

(d) Issue price

Unless the Awards are quoted on the ASX, Awards issued under the 2020 Incentive Plan will be issued for no more than nominal cash consideration.

(e) Exercise Price

The Board may determine the Option exercise price (if any) for an Option offered under that Offer in its absolute discretion. To the extent the ASX Listing Rules specify or require a minimum price, the Option Exercise Price in respect of an Option offered under an Offer must not be less than any minimum price specified in the ASX Listing Rules.

(f) Vesting Conditions

In respect of any Award, any condition set out in the Offer which must be satisfied (unless waived in accordance with the 2020 Incentive Plan) before that Award can be exercised or any other restriction on exercise of that Award specified in the Offer or in the 2020 Incentive Plan ( Vesting Conditions ).

(g) Vesting

The Board may in its absolute discretion (except in respect of a change of control occurring where Vesting Conditions are deemed to be automatically waived) by written notice to a Participant (being an Eligible Participant to whom Awards have been granted under the 2020 Incentive Plan or their nominee where the Awards have been granted to the nominee of the Eligible Participant ( Relevant Person )), resolve to waive any of the Vesting Conditions applying to Awards due to:

  • (i) special circumstances arising in relation to a Relevant Person in respect of those Awards, being a Relevant Person ceasing to be an Eligible Participant due to:

  • (A) death or total or permanent disability of a Relevant Person;

  • (B) retirement or redundancy of a Relevant Person;

  • (C) a Relevant Person suffering severe financial hardship;

  • (D) any other circumstance stated to constitute “special circumstances” in the terms of the relevant Offer made to and accepted by the Participant;

  • (E) any other circumstances determined by the Board at any time (whether before or after the Offer) and notified to the Relevant Participant which circumstances may relate to the Participant, a class of Participant, including the Participant or particular circumstances or class of circumstances applying to the Participant;

  • (ii) a change of control occurring; or

Page 29

  • (iii) the Company passing a resolution for voluntary winding up, or an order is made for the compulsory winding up of the Company.

(h) Lapse of an Award

An Award will lapse upon the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) an unauthorised dealing in, or hedging of, the Award occurring;

  • (ii) a vesting condition in relation to the Award is not satisfied by the due date, or becomes incapable of satisfaction, as determined by the Board in its absolute discretion, unless the Board exercises its discretion to waive the vesting condition and vest the Award;

  • (iii) in respect of an unvested Award only, a Relevant Person ceases to be an Eligible Participant, unless the Board:

  • (A) exercises its discretion to vest the Award; or

  • (B) in its absolute discretion, resolves to allow the unvested Award to remain unvested after the Relevant Person ceases to be an Eligible Participant.

  • (iv) in respect of a vested Award only, a Relevant Person ceases to be an Eligible Participant and, where required by the Board in its absolute discretion, the vested Performance Right is not exercised within a one (1) month period (or such other period as the Board determines) as notified by the Board to the Participant after the date the Relevant Person ceases to be an Eligible Participant;

  • (v) the Board deems that an Award lapses due to fraud, dishonesty or other improper behaviour of the holder/Eligible Participant;

  • (vi) the Company undergoes a change of control or a winding up resolution or order is made, and the Award does not vest; and

  • (vii) the expiry date of the Award.

(i)

Cashless exercise facility

If an Eligible Participant wishes to exercise some or all of their vested Options, they may, subject to Board approval, elect to pay the Option Exercise Price by using a cashless exercise facility, which entitles an Eligible Participant to set-off the Option exercise price against the number of Shares which the Participant is entitled to receive upon exercise of the Options as follows:

  • (i) the aggregate total Option exercise price otherwise payable in respect of all vested Options exercised, less the aggregate total market value of Shares as at the date the vested Option is exercised that would otherwise be issued or transferred on exercise of the vested Options; and

  • (ii) divided by the market value of a Share as at the date the vested Option is exercised.

Page 30

(j) Not transferrable

Awards are only transferrable in special circumstances or a change of control, and in either case with the prior written consent of the Board (which may be withheld in its absolute discretion) or by force of law upon death to the Participant’s legal personable representative or upon bankruptcy to the Participant’s trustee in bankruptcy.

(k) Shares

All shares issued on exercise of an Award under the 2020 Incentive Plan will rank equally in all respects with the shares of the same class for the time being on issue except as regards any rights attaching to such shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of their issue.

(l) Sale Restrictions

The Board may, in its discretion, determine at any time up until exercise of Awards, that a restriction period will apply to some or all of the shares issued to an Eligible Participant (or their eligible nominee) on exercise of those Awards up to a maximum of five (5) years from the grant date of the Awards. In addition, the Board may, in its sole discretion, having regard to the circumstances at the time, waive any such restriction period determined.

(m) No Participation Rights

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Awards and Participants will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Awards without exercising the Award.

(n) Change in exercise price of number of underlying securities

An Award does not confer the right to a change in exercise price or in the number of underlying Shares over which the Award can be exercised.

(o) Reorganisation

If, at any time, the issued capital of the Company is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), all rights of a holder of an Award are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reorganisation.

(p) Trust

The Board may, at any time, establish a trust for the sole purpose of acquiring and holding Shares in respect of which a Participant may exercise, or has exercised, vested Awards, including for the purpose of enforcing the disposal restrictions and appoint a trustee to act as trustee of the trust. The trustee will hold the Shares as trustee for and on behalf of a Participant as beneficial owner upon the terms of the trust. The Board may at any time amend all or any of the provisions of the 2020 Incentive Plan to effect the establishment of such a trust and the appointment of such a trustee.

The grant of the Performance Rights are subject to the terms and conditions below:

(a) Milestone

  • (i) one third of the Director Performance Rights held by each holder of the Director Performance Rights ( Holder ) will convert into Shares upon satisfaction of the following milestones within 12 months following the date of listing:

  • (A) the definition of an Inferred JORC Resource at the Eneabba Project of 80Mt @ 97.5% SiO2; and

  • (B) the definition of an Inferred JORC Resource at the Kaolin Project - 20Mt @ cut off grade of 25% Al2O3;

  • (ii) one third of the Director Performance Rights held by each Holder will convert into Shares upon satisfaction of the following milestones within 24 months following the date of listing:

  • (A) the definition of a Measured JORC Resource at the Eneabba Project of 40Mt @ 97.5% SiO2; and

  • (B) the definition of a Measured JORC Resource at the Kaolin Project - 20Mt @ cut off grade of 25% Al2O3;

  • (iii) one third of the Director Performance Rights held by each Holder will convert into Shares upon completion of a preliminary feasibility study on both the Eneabba Project and Kaolin Project demonstrating an ability to operate broth projects as commercially viable enterprises within 36 months following the date of listing,

(each a Milestone ).

(b) Notification to Holder

The Company shall notify the Holder in writing when the Milestone has been satisfied.

(c) Consideration

The Director Performance Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration and no consideration will be payable upon the conversion of the Director Performance Rights.

(d) Conversion

Subject to paragraph (m) and satisfaction of the Milestone, each Director Performance Right will, at the election of the Holder, convert into one Share.

(e) Lapse of a Director Performance Right

If:

  • (i) the Milestone attaching to a Director Performance Right has not been satisfied within the period required under the relevant Milestone; or

  • (ii) the Director Performance Rights have not converted into Shares 5 years of the Company’s admission to the Official List,

Page 32

( Expiry Date ), it will automatically lapse and the Holder shall have no entitlement to the Shares pursuant to those Director Performance Rights.

(f) Share ranking

All Shares issued upon the conversion of Director Performance Rights will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other Shares.

(g) Application to ASX

The Director Performance Rights will not be quoted on ASX. The Company must apply for the official quotation of a Share issued on conversion of a Director Performance Right on ASX within the time period required by the ASX Listing Rules.

(h) Transfer of Director Performance Rights

The Director Performance Rights are not transferable.

(i) Participation in new issues

A Director Performance Right does not entitle a Holder (in their capacity as a Holder of a Director Performance Right) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.

(j) Reorganisation of capital

If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of a Holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation.

(k) Adjustment for bonus issue

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the number of Shares or other securities which must be issued on the conversion of a Director Performance Right will be increased by the number of Shares or other securities which the Holder would have received if the Holder had converted the Director Performance Right before the record date for the bonus issue.

(l) Dividend and Voting Rights

The Director Performance Rights do not confer on the Holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends (whether fixed or at the discretion of directors).

(m) Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares

If the conversion of a Director Performance Right would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that Director Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Director Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:

  • (i) Holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Director Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the Holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Director Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and

Page 33

  • (ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a Holder request a Holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (i) within seven days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Director Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the Holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Director Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.

(n) No rights to return of capital

A Director Performance Right does not entitle the Holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

(o) Rights on winding up

A Director Performance Right does not entitle the Holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.

(p) No other rights

A Director Performance Right gives the Holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.

  • (iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options.

Page 35
