5. EXPLANATORY NOTES
These Explanatory Notes are provided to the Shareholders of the Company to explain the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at Suite 26.01, Level 26, Suncorp Place, 259 George Street Sydney NSW 2000 commencing 11.00AM Sydney Time on Tuesday 17 January 2023.
The Board recommends that Shareholders read the accompanying Notice and these Explanatory Notes in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
5.1. Resolution 1: Ratification of prior issue of Shares to professional and sophisticated investors under a Share placement
Background
==> picture [23 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
On 28 November 2022, the Company announced a capital raising comprised of a share placement to professional and sophisticated investors ( Placement ) at an offer price of $0.17 to raise $20 million and a follow‐on Share Purchase Place ( SPP ) to raise a maximum of $3 million.
Resolution 1 seeks ratification under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue of 87,764,704 Shares on or around 2 December 2022 using the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity.
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 period.
The issue of 87,764,704 shares under the Placement does not fall under any of the relevant exemptions and as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it utilises the 15% capacity limit in Listing Rule 7.1 reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12‐month period following the issue date.
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 so, 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 those rules.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such Listing Rule 7.1.
The following information in relation to the Shares the subject of Resolution 1 is provided to Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5:
| Information Required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.5 |
|
|---|---|
| The number and class of securities issued | 87,764,704 fully paid ordinary shares. |
10 | P a g e
Group 6 Metals Limited Extraordinary General Meeting 11.00AM Sydney Time on Tuesday 17[th] January 2023
==> picture [134 x 62] intentionally omitted <==
| Date by which the securities were issued | 74,764,703 shares on 2 December 2022. 11,764,706 shares on 8 December 2022 1,235,295 shares on or around 16 December 2022. |
|---|---|
| Issue price | $0.17. |
| The terms of the securities | The Shares are ordinary fully paid shares issued in the capital of the Company. The Shares rank equally in all respects with existing Shares. |
| The name of the persons to whom the securities were issued |
The Shares will be allotted by the Company to professional and sophisticated investors under a private placement. The allocations to professional and sophisticated investors under the Placement were determined by a range of factors including: • Investment style with a focus on investors with a patient, long‐ term outlook; • Investors who have a history of supporting mining development projects; • Familiarity with the company, board and senior management including past meetings and presentations; and • Timing of the bid |
| The use (or intended use) of the funds raised | The Company will apply the funds raised towards capital expenditure and pre‐ production costs at the Dolphin Tungsten Mine, and for general working capital. |
| A voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion is included in the Notice in relation to Resolution 1. |

Effect of the Resolution
==> picture [23 x 7] intentionally omitted <==
If Shareholders approve Resolution 1, they will have ratified the issue of Placement Shares, and the issue of the Shares will no longer utilise a portion of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, meaning that the Company will have an increased ability to issue Equity Securities without seeking Shareholder approval.
If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 1, the issue of Placement Shares will continue to utilise a portion of the Company's current 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 until the date that is 12 months from the date of issue, and the Company will therefore have a reduced ability to issue Equity Securities without seeking Shareholder approval until that time.
Directors’ recommendation
==> picture [23 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
The Directors unanimously recommend you vote in favour of Resolution 1.
5.2. Resolution 2: Approval of issuance of Options to professional and sophisticated investors under a Share placement
Background
==> picture [23 x 7] intentionally omitted <==
On 28 November 2022, the Company announced a capital raising comprised of the issue of up to 117,647,059 new Shares to professional and sophisticated investors at an offer price of $0.17 ( New Shares ) to raise $20 million before costs, with one free attaching New Option to each two New Shares issued ( Placement ).
Resolution 2 seeks approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 of the issue of the 43,882,351 Options, which (if fully exercised) could raise up to a further $12,287,058.28.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prevents the Company from issuing more than 15% of its issued capital without Shareholder approval. The allotment and issue of Options to the applicants under the Placement exceeds this limit.
The following information in relation to the Shares the subject of Resolution 2 is provided to Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3:
| Information Required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.3 |
|
|---|---|
| The number and class of securities issued | 43,882,351 Options. |
| Expected date of issue | As soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 3 months after the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting. |
| Issue price | Nil. |
| The terms of the securities | The Options to be issued are all issued on the terms set out in Annexure A. The Shares issued on exercise of the Options shall be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company |
12 | P a g e

| issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares. |
|
|---|---|
| The name of the persons to whom the securities will be issued |
The Options will be allotted by the Company to professional and sophisticated investors under a private placement. The allocations to professional and sophisticated investors under the Placement were determined by a range of factors including: • Investment style with a focus on investors with a patient, long‐ term outlook; • Investors who have a history of supporting mining development projects; • Familiarity with the company, board and senior management including past meetings and presentations; and • Timing of the bid |
| The use (or intended use) of the funds raised | The Company will apply the funds raised towards capital expenditure and pre‐ production costs at the Dolphin Tungsten Mine, and for general working capital. |
| A voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion is included in the Notice in relation to Resolution 2. |
Effect of the Resolution
==> picture [23 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
If Shareholders approve Resolution 2, they will have approved the issue of Placement Options, and the issue of the Options without utilising the Company’s available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, meaning that the Company will have an increased ability to issue Equity Securities without seeking Shareholder approval.
If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 2, the issue of Placement Options will be limited to the Company's available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 until the date that is 12 months from the date of issue, and the Company will therefore have a reduced ability to issue Equity Securities without seeking Shareholder

The Directors unanimously recommend you vote in favour of Resolution 2.
5.3. Resolutions 3(a) and (b): Approval of issuance of Shares and Options to a related party: Chris Ellis (via his nominated entity)
Background
==> picture [23 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
Mr Chris Ellis, a Director, has made a firm commitment, via his nominated entity, to subscribe for 14,705,883 Shares at an issue price of $0.17 per Share and 7,352,942 Options (strike price $0.28 expiring 31 January 2025), being one (1) free attaching Option for every two (2) new Shares.
The Company stands to receive $2,500,000 for the Shares and up to a further $2,058,823.76 if the Options are exercised.
The Shares and Options proposed for approval under Resolutions 3(a) and (b) will be subscribed on the same terms and conditions as those offered under the Placement to unrelated sophisticated and professional investors and subject to Shareholders’ approval under Resolutions 1 & 2 of the Notice.
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, an entity must not issue, or agree to issue, equity securities to:
-
(a) a related party;
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the entity;
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them the right or expectation to do so;
-
(d) an Associate of a person referred to in paragraphs (a), (b), or (c) above; or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in any of paragraphs (a) to (d) above is such that, in ASX’s opinion the issue or agreement should be approved by securityholders
unless it obtains the approval of its ordinary security holders.
As the issue of Equity Securities to Mr Ellis constitutes the issue of Equity Securities to a related party of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
The Company therefore seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of Equity Securities to Mr Ellis, or his nominee, under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

The exception is only available once in any 12‐month period and if:
(a) the number of securities to be issued is not greater than 30% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities already on issue; and
(b) the issue price of the securities is at least 80% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in that class, calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded, either before the day on which the issue was announced or before the day on which the issue was made.
The issue of attaching options does not satisfy the conditions of ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547. The options are issued under a prospectus to be released on 13 December 2022 and shareholder approval of the issue of Options is sought under Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prevents the Company from issuing more than 15% of its issued capital without Shareholder approval. The allotment and issue of Options to the applicants under the Placement exceeds this limit.
The following information in relation to the Shares the subject of Resolution 7 is provided to Shareholders in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3:

Effect of the Resolution
==> picture [23 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
If Shareholders approve Resolution 7, they will have approved the issue of SPP Options, and the issue of the Options without utilising the Company’s available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, meaning that the Company will have an increased ability to issue Equity Securities without seeking Shareholder approval.
If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 7, the issue of SPP Options will be limited to the Company's available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 until the date that is 12 months from the date of issue, and the Company will therefore have a reduced ability to issue Equity Securities without seeking Shareholder approval until that time. Without Shareholder approval the Company is prevented from issuing Equity Securities in excess of the available placement capacity.
Recommendation
==> picture [23 x 7] intentionally omitted <==
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

fee on DVP settled allocation excluding certain allottees as agreed between the JLMs and the Company. The Broker Options are in addition to the management and distribution fee.
A voting exclusion is included in the Notice in relation to Resolution 8.
Effect of the Resolution
==> picture [23 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
If Shareholders approve Resolution 8, they will have approved the issue of Broker Options and Listing Rule 7.2 exception 17 will apply. Therefore, the issue of the Broker Options will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, meaning that the Company will have an increased ability to issue Equity Securities without seeking Shareholder approval.
If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 8, the Company will be prevented from issuing the Broker Options. If the Brokers Options are not issued, there is no obligation on the Company to pay the Joint Lead Managers an equivalent cash consideration.
Recommendation
