EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO SHAREHOLDERS
1. ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY SHAREHOLDERS
This Explanatory Statement sets out information about the Resolutions to be considered by the Shareholders at the General Meeting. Defined terms used in this Explanatory Statement are set out in Section 12. Accompanying this Explanatory Statement is the Notice of General Meeting convening the General Meeting and a Proxy Form.

If a Shareholder is not able to attend and vote at the General Meeting, the Shareholder may complete the Proxy Form and return it not later than 48 hours before the time specified for the commencement of the General Meeting.
2. PURPOSE OF THE GENERAL MEETING
The General Meeting has been convened for the purpose of considering the Resolutions, which are set out in the Notice of General Meeting and explained in more detail below.
3. RESOLUTION 1: ISSUE OF SHARES FOR THE ACQUSITIION OF ANDES LITIO SA
3.1 Background
On 26 March 2021 the Company announced that it had signed a binding term sheet to acquire Andres Litio SA (formerly Blackearth SA) which holds an option to acquire the San Jorge Lithium Brine Project located in Catamarca province, Argentina. On 3 September 2021, the Company announced that formal transaction documents had been executed in relation to the transaction. The consideration for the acquisition of Andes Litio is payable over time as outlined in the documents. A copy of that announcement is attached as Annexure A.
For further information regarding the transaction and the San Jorge Lithium Brine Project, please refer to ASX announcements dated 26 March, 13 July and 3 September 2021.
The purpose of Resolution 1 is to seek shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 to approve the proposed issued of 2,000,000 Shares pursuant to the agreed terms.
Since acquiring Andes Litio SA, the Company has commenced exploration activities. As announced on 2 December 2021, initial exploration completed in late 2021 returned concentrations up to 285 mg/l lithium from surface samples and a passive seismic geophysical survey established a surface signature and an impressive basin depth of up to 600m +/- 200m.
As announced on 20 April 2022, further exploration is planned in the coming months including:
-
A detailed Transient Electromagnetic geophysical survey to commence May to define the distribution of the brine across the project area.
-
A maiden drilling program planned to commence September quarter consisting of three holes for a total of 1,200m along with further surface sampling.
3.2 Listing Rules
The proposed issue does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
6
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that, unless an exemption applies, a company must not, without prior approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue equity securities if the equity securities will in themselves or when aggregated with the ordinary securities issued by the company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Listing Rule 7.4 states that an issue by a company of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and the company's members subsequently approve it. Issues made under Listing Rule 7.1A can also be ratified under Listing Rule 7.4.
If that approval is granted, the relevant issue will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s remaining capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of Shares to the vendors of Andes Litio SA will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date. If resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
3.3 Information required by Listing Rule 7.3

3.4 Recommendation
Approval of the proposed issue will allow the Company to issue the ordinary shares within 3 months after the general meeting without using the Company's 15% placement capacity. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
4. RESOLUTION 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES - CONVERTIBLE NOTE INTEREST
4.1 Background
On 15 March 2021, the Company announced that shareholders had approved of amendment the issue terms of Convertible Notes, as outlined in the Notice of General Meeting dated 11 February 2021. The Company and Note Trustee executed a Deed of Amendment to the Convertible Redeemable Note Trust Deed to give effect to the amendments. A summary of the amended Convertible Note Terms is included as Annexure B.
7
One of the key amendments approved was to permit interest payments to be paid at the Company’s election in ordinary shares issued at a 30-day volume weight average price (VWAP) of trading in the Company’s shares.
The Company elected to settle the interest payment for the 6 months to 31 March 2022 in the form of ordinary shares, and on 29 April 2022, 888,241 ordinary shares were issued in lieu of interest otherwise payable in cash on the Company’s unlisted convertible notes at a deemed issue price of $0.332.
4.2 Listing Rules

If resolution 2 is passed, the issue of Shares in lieu of interest payable on the convertible notes will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.
If resolution 2 is not passed, the issue of Shares in lieu of interest payable on the convertible notes will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

4.4 Recommendation
The Directors believe that the ratification of this issue is beneficial for the Company as it will restore the Company's ability to issue further capital to the maximum 15% limit during the next 12 months without Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholder vote in favour of Resolution 2.
5. RESOLUTIONS 3 TO 5: APPROVAL FOR ISSUE OF SHARES TO DIRECTORS – CONVERTIBLE NOTE INTEREST

COMMENCEMENT OF EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
Greenwing aims to establish lithium resources across both brine and hard rock.
The initial program of exploration at San Jorge will consist of:
-
A passive seismic geophysical survey across the salar to define the thickness of the salar sediments and to target drilling and assist future resource estimation;
-
Electrical geophysics to map the extent of the brine body extending under gravel units around the salar;
-
Shallow auger drilling and pit sampling to collect brine samples for assaying, to determine the shallow concentrations of lithium and other elements; and
-
Possible targeted deeper drilling to obtain brine samples for evaluation of brine chemistry and to confirm the porosity and permeability characteristics to evaluate possible future production conditions.
Rick Anthon – Chairman
‘We are pleased to complete the formal documentation that will lead to the acquisition of San Jorge. San Jorge Project is an important part of our broader strategy to provide an integrated exposure to Graphite, Advanced Graphite Materials and Lithium, markets, all of which will be critically undersupplied as the take up of battery related technology accelerates.
Given its location in the Lithium Triangle, we believe that the San Jorge Project has the potential to deliver significant value to the Company’s shareholders and we look forward to providing updates on exploration activities.’

| Issue of Notes in lieu of Interest for Interest Payment Dates until 30 September 2020 |
The Issuer may elect, at its discretion, to issue Notes (at the Issue Price and on the same terms and conditions as the Placement Notes) in lieu of any Interest due on an Interest Payment Date up to and including 30 September 2020, and the issue of those Notes will be in full and final satisfaction of the Interest due and payable on that date. The number of Notes that will be issued will be so many Notes as is determined in accordance with the following formula: A = B/C Where: A = the number of Notes to be issued in lieu of Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, B = the amount of Interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, and C = $0.008 (being the Issue Price/Face Value per Note). |

| Adjustments to Conversion Ratio |
Pro Rata Offer If at any time prior to the earlier to occur of the Conversion, Redemption or Maturity Date of the Notes the Company makes a pro rata offer (excluding a bonus issue) to Shareholders, the Conversion Ratio will be adjusted using the formula as follows: NR =OR + E[P-(S+O)] N+1 Where: NR = the new Conversion Ratio of the Notes. OR = the old Conversion Ratio of the Note prior to the pro rata offer. E = the number of shares into which one Note is convertible. P = average market price per share weighted by reference to volume of the underlying Shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex-rights date or ex-entitlements date. S = the subscription price of a share under the pro rata issue. O= the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue). N = the number of shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to 1 new share. Bonus Issue If a bonus issue of shares is made by the Company, then the number of shares issued to each Holder on Conversion will be increased by the number of bonus shares that a Holder would have received if the Note had been exercised prior to the record date for the bonus issue and no change will be made to the Conversion Ratio. Reorganisation of capital The Company may only reorganise its capital: (1) in accordance with the Listing Rules; and (2) if, in respect of the Notes, the number of Notes or the Face Value, or both, is reorganised so that the Holders will not receive a benefit that Shareholders do not receive. Unless the Listing Rules require otherwise, the Conversion Ratio must be adjusted as follows: (1) Reduction in capital If the issued capital of the Company is reduced, the entitlement of a Holder to convert its Notes to shares at the Conversion Ratio will be reduced in the same proportion and manner as the issued capital is so reduced (subject to any provisions with respect to the rounding of entitlements as may be sanctioned by |
| the meeting of the members of the Company approving the reduction of capital) but in all other respects the Conversion Rights will remain unchanged. (2) Consolidation of capital If the issued capital of the Company is consolidated, the entitlement of a Noteholder to convert its Notes to shares at the Conversion Ratio will be reduced in the same proportion and manner as the issued capital is so consolidated (subject to any provisions with respect to the rounding of entitlements as may be sanctioned by the meeting of the members of the Company approving the consolidation of capital) but in all other respects the Conversion Rights will remain unchanged. (3) Subdivision of capital If the issued capital of the Company is subdivided, the entitlement of a Holder to convert its Notes to shares at the Conversion Ratio will be increased in the same proportion and manner as the issued capital is so subdivided (subject to any provisions with respect to the rounding of entitlements as may be sanctioned by the meeting of the members of the Company approving the subdivision of capital) but in all other respects the Conversion Rights will remain unchanged. |
|
|---|---|
| Redemption | Repayment of Face Value and any unpaid interest at the Maturity Date in cash. |
