2. Action to be taken by Shareholders

Shareholders should read the Notice and this Explanatory Memorandum carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.

2.1 Proxies

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. Lodgment of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

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

  • (c) 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.

2.2 Voting Prohibition by Proxy Holders

In accordance with section 250BD of the Corporations Act, a person appointed as a proxy must not vote on the basis of that appointment on Resolution 1 if:

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

  • (ii) a Closely Related Party of such a member, and

5

(b) the appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the Resolution.

However, the prohibition does not apply if:

  • (c) the proxy is the Chair of the Meeting; and

  • (d) the appointment expressly authorises the Chair of the Meeting to exercise the proxy even if Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.

3. Annual Report

Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report at the Meeting. Copies of the report can be found on the Company’s website https://hartshead-resources.com.au/or by contacting the Company on (08) 9226 2011.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.

Shareholders will be offered the following opportunities:

  • (a) discuss the Annual Report;

  • (b) ask questions about, or make comment on, the management of the Company;

  • (c) ask questions about, or make comment on, the Remuneration Report;

  • (i) the conduct of the audit;

  • (ii) the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report;

  • (iii) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • (iv) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chair about the management of the Company, or to the Company's auditor about:

  • (a) the content of the Auditor's Report; and

  • (b) the conduct of the audit of the Financial Report,

may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office.

4. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive and non-executive directors.

Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. Of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass this Resolution will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

However, under sections 250U and 250Y of the Corporations Act, Shareholders have the opportunity to remove the Board if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings ( Two Strikes Rule ).

6

Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more 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) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

At the Company’s last annual general meeting, the Remuneration Report was approved by over 75% of Shareholders present and voting. In summary, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at this Meeting Shareholders should be aware that if there is a 'no' vote of 25% or more at the next annual general meeting the consequences are that all Directors (other than the Managing Director) may be up for re-election.

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

The Chair of the Meeting intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chair of the Meeting 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.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Bevan Tarratt as a Director

Rule 7.3(a) of the Constitution provides that no Director may hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following that Director's appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer (except a Managing Director). A Director who retires under Rule 7.3(a) of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

Mr Bevan Tarratt, being last elected at the Company's annual general meeting held 23 November 2018, retires at this Meeting and, being eligible, seeks re-election.

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the election of Mr Bevan Tarratt as a Director.

The details of Mr Tarratt’s qualifications, experience and suitability as a director are available in the Company’s Annual Report.

The Board (excluding Mr Bevan Tarratt) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

6. Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

6.1 General

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.

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% ( 10% Placement Facility ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes. Based on the closing price of the Company's Shares on ASX on 5 October 2021 of $0.026, the Company's market capitalisation is approximately $48 million.

7

Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c) below).

Resolution 3 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 Directors believe that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

6.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

  • (a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

  • (b) Equity Securities

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 Company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has one class of quoted Equity Securities, being the Shares (ASX Code: HHR).

(c)

Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may, during the period of approval, 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 at the commencement of the relevant period:

  • plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where the convertible securities were issued/agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or the issues/agreement to issue the convertible securities was approved or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant

8

period; or the agreement was approved or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus the number of any other Shares issued in the relevant period with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4

  • plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;

  • less the number of Shares cancelled in the relevant period.

Where the relevant period means the 12 month period preceding the date of the issue/agreement to issue the Equity Securities.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% 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 relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

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

  • (a) Period for which 10% Placement Facility will be valid

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A will be valid from the date of the 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 the approval by shareholders 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 ).

  • (b) Minimum price

The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities 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 subparagraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (c) Purpose of funds raised

The Company may only seek to issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for cash consideration. The Company intends to use the funds raised towards expanding or

9

accelerating the Company’s existing business activities including to fund expenses for its activities on its existing and new assets and for general working capital.

  • (d)

  • Risk of economic and voting dilution

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date,

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

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • (iii) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

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

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (v) The Company issues/agrees to issue the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (vi) The issue/agreement to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes listed Options, it is assumed that those listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  • (vii) No Options are exercised, no Performance Rights are converted into Shares and no partly-paid Shares become fully paid up before the date of the issue/agreement to issue the Equity Securities.

  • (viii) At the date of this Notice, there are currently 1,849,772,127 Shares on issue. The effects of the Acquisition (including the Placement) is not shown in the table.

  • (ix) The current market price is $0.026 being the closing price of Shares on ASX on 5 October 2021.

Also note that in the table:

  • (x) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued Share capital at the time of issue/agreement to issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (xi) 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. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  • (xii) The table shows only the effect of issues/agreements to issue 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 for issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the recipients of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

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

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

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

  • (v) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The recipients of Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

11

  • (f) Previous issues under the 10% Placement Facility

In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting, the Company has not issued or agreed to issue any Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (g) Voting exclusion

At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded.

(h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

7. Resolution 4 – Ratification of Prior Issue – Placement Shares

7.1 General

On 1 February 2021 2020 the Company announced it had secured commitments for a for a placement to raise approximately $8,000,000 (before costs) through the issue of 320,000,000 shares in the Company at an issue price of 2.5 cents ($0.025) per New Share ( Placement ). Of these shares, 280,000,000 shares were issued pursuant to shareholder approval given at the Company's 2020 AGM and a further 40,000,000 shares were issued using the Company's existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ( Placement Shares ).

The funds raised from the issue of the Placement Shares will be used to fully fund the work programme commitments of Phase I operations through to the preliminary field development plan submission and to progress work on the Phase II assets as part of a multi-phased development of existing gas discoveries.

The Placement Shares were issued on 1 February 2021 utilising the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company issued the Shares the subject of the Placement without prior Shareholder approval pursuant to both its 15% annual placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 40,000,000 Shares under the Placement issued on 1 February 2021 at an issue price of $0.025 per Share under ASX Listing Rule 7.1

7.2

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

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.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Placement Shares issued under the Placement will be included in the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can

12

issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of such Shares.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4

7.3 Listing Rules Notice Requirements

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) On 1 February 2021, a total of 40,000,000 Placement Shares were issued at a price of $0.025 per Placement Share;

  • (b) Funds raised from the issue of the Placement Shares are being used to fully fund the work programme commitments of Phase I operations through to the preliminary field development plan submission and to progress work on the Phase II assets as part of a multi-phased development of existing gas discoveries;

  • (c) the Placement Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares which rank equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares on issue; and

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
