For the definitions of Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) and Closely Related Parties, please refer to the Glossary on page 23.

The Corporations Act restricts members of the KMP of the Company and their Closely Related Parties from voting in relation to remuneration related Resolutions (such as Resolution 1, 4 and 5), voting prohibitions.

In addition, separate voting restrictions apply in respect of Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 under the ASX Listing Rules, voting exclusions.

What this means for Shareholders : If you intend to appoint a member of the KMP (other than the Chairman of the Meeting) or a Closely Related Party of a member of the KMP as your proxy, please ensure that you direct them how to vote on Resolution 1, 4, and 5.

If you intend to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, you are encouraged to direct him how to vote by marking the boxes for Resolutions 1, 4 and 5 (for example if you wish to vote for, or against, or to abstain from voting). If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy without directing him how to vote, the Proxy Form authorises him to vote as he decides on Resolutions 1, 4 and 5 (even though those Resolutions are connected with the remuneration of KMP). The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote in favour of all Resolutions (where permissible).

The Company will disregard votes cast on Resolutions 1, 4, 5 and 6 by the persons detailed in the below.

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

However, a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution 1 as a proxy if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described above and either:

  • (a) the person does so as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on Resolution 1; or

  • (b) the person is the Chairman of the Meeting and the appointment of the Chairman as proxy:

  • i. does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on Resolution 1; and

  • ii. expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.

Resolutions 4 and 5 – Grant of Options to Directors

Voting Prohibition Statement:

In accordance with the Corporations Act, a person appointed as proxy must not vote on Resolutions 4 and 5 on the basis of that appointment, if that person is:

  • (a) a member of the KMP as at the date of the Meeting; or

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

However, a person described above may cast a vote on Resolutions 4 and 5 if the person does so as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote where:

  • (a) the Proxy Form specifies how the proxy is to vote on Resolutions 4 and 5; or

  • (b) the proxy is the Chairman of the Meeting, who may vote in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5 in accordance with an express authorisation on the Proxy Form.

In addition, a vote on Resolutions 4 and 5 must not be cast (in any capacity) by or on behalf of Mr Ward or Mr Rushton (in respect of their relevant Resolutions) or any of their associates. However, this prohibition does not apply if:

However, the Company need not disregard a vote cast if:

  • (a) it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or

  • (b) it is cast by the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.

Resolution 6 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity

Voting Exclusion Statement:

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 6 by or on behalf of a person who is expected to participate in, or who will obtain a material benefit as a result of, the proposed issue (except a benefit solely by reason of being a holder of ordinary securities in the Company) or an associate of those persons.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote cast if:

  • (a) it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held on Wednesday, 14 November 2018 at 9.00am (AWST).

This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. ANNUAL REPORT

The business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the Company’s Annual Financial Report, the Directors’ Report and the Auditor’s Report for the year ended 30 June 2018, which are included in Hazer’s Annual Report.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Annual Report. The Remuneration Report details the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.

S250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report be put to the vote of the Company. Shareholders should note that the vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and not binding on the Company or its Directors.

However, under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report then:

  • if comments are made on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting, Hazer’s 2019 Remuneration Report will be required to include an explanation of the Board’s proposed action in response or, if no action is proposed, the Board’s reasons for this; and

  • if, at next year’s AGM, at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution for adoption of the 2019 Remuneration Report are against it, Hazer will be required to put to

8

Shareholders a resolution proposing that an Extraordinary General Meeting ( EGM ) be called to consider the election of Directors ( Spill Resolution ). If the Spill Resolution is passed (i.e. more than 50% of the votes cast are in favour of it), all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) will cease to hold office at the subsequent EGM, unless reelected at that Meeting.

At the Company's previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the Remuneration Report.

Board recommendation: The Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report, which was approved in accordance with a unanimous resolution of the Board. Each Director recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.

4. GRANTS OF OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS

Background

It is proposed to issue Options under the Employee Incentive Plan to the following related parties of the Company - Geoff Ward (Chief Executive Officer) and Simon Rushton (NonExecutive Director).

Geoff Ward is Chief Executive Officer but not currently a Director. The Board has reasonable grounds to believe that it is likely Geoff Ward will become a Director in the future. Thereby, in accordance with section 228(6) of the Corporations Act, Geoff Ward will be treated by the Company as a related party.

Simon Rushton as a Director is a related party.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of a public company unless the benefit falls within one of various exceptions to the general prohibition. Exceptions to this general prohibition include where the company first obtains the approval of its shareholder in general meeting, or the financial benefit being provided is on arm’s length terms or better.

A “financial benefit” for the purposes of the Corporations Act includes issuing securities to a related party.

RESOLUTION 4 – GRANT OF OPTIONS TO GEOFF WARD, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Shareholder approval

Shareholder approval is sought for the grant under the Employee Incentive Plan of up to 2,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.50 and expiry date of 30 June 2022, up to 2,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.70 and expiry date of 30 June 2023 and up to 2,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.90 and expiry date of 30 June 2024 to Geoff Ward or his nominee, with the vesting conditions set out below, for all purposes, including ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. These Options are proposed to be issued to Geoff Ward as part of his total Chief Executive Officer remuneration package, where the Company seeks to conserve its cash reserves as best possible, whilst retaining the services of highly qualified and experienced personnel.

Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not issue securities to a related party of the company under an employee incentive scheme unless the issue has been approved by shareholders by ordinary resolution. If approval is given by shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14, separate shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 10.11.

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue securities to related parties under the Resolutions as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of the securities to the related parties will not be included in the calculation of the Company's placement capacities.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided to Shareholders:

  • (a) The Options will be issued to Geoff Ward or to his nominee.

  • (b) Geoff Ward is Chief Executive Officer of the Company and is treated as a related party as set out above.

Other material terms and conditions of the Options are set out at Schedule 1.

(j) A voting exclusion applies to this item of business, as set out in the Notice of Meeting.

For the purposes of Part 2E.1 of the Corporations Act, the additional disclosures in Annexure 1 are made.

Board recommendation: The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of approving the grant of Options to Geoff Ward.

RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

6.1

General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities totalling up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the entity’s annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

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.

13

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

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 (please refer to Section6.2(c) below).

The Directors believe that Resolution 6 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

6.2 ASX 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.

Resolution 6 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 6 for it to be passed.

(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.

As at the date of the Notice, the Company has two quoted classes of Equity Securities on issue on the ASX, being the Shares (ASX Code: HZR) and listed Options (ASX Code: HZRO).

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Capacity

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to 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 Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

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

  • (C) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4. This does not include an issue of Shares under the Company's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval; and

  • (D) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating the Company's 15% placement capacity.

D is 10%.

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not

14

issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

6.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 6.

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX 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; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below. The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

Variable A)*

The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue, a scrip issued under a takeover offer or the issue of Shares on the exercise of options which complied with ASX Listing Rules when issued) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. Variable “A” in the above table is calculated with reference to the total shares on issue as at 10 October 2018.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 10 October 2018.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  4. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  5. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  6. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  7. 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%.

  8. 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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility in order to fund the Company’s research and development programs, fees in relation to the Company’s intellectual property rights and patent protection, as well as general working capital. The Company may also issue Equity Securities for non-cash consideration, such as for the acquisition of businesses or investments. If the Company issues Equity Securities for non-

16

cash consideration, the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration that demonstrates that the deemed issue price of the Equity Securities complies with Listing Rule 7.1A.3. The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon any issue of Equity Securities.

(e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

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

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

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

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new assets or investments.

(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at an Annual General Meeting on 22 November 2017.

Equity Securities issued in the 12 months preceding the last approval are outlined on the following page.

The total number of Equity Securities issued in the 12 months before this Meeting (that is, since 15 November 2017) is 36,146,250 Equity Securities, which represents approximately 26.9% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at 15 November 2017 of 134,238,750 (12 months before this Meeting).

Director’s Recommendation

The number of Options to be issued to each of Geoff Ward and Simon Rushton and the terms of the Options was negotiated by the Directors independent of that related party. The Options will be issued under the Employee Incentive Plan. The Board considers the number of the Options to be issued and their terms is appropriate in light of that related party's skill and experience and their remuneration as detailed below. The Options incentivise without a cash outlay by the Company.

The Directors, other than Simon Rushton for Resolution 5, unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of approving the grant of Options.

The Directors do not consider that from an economic and commercial point of view, there are any costs or detriments, including opportunity costs or taxation consequences for the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the ADS Options or Options.

The Director who is a beneficiary of the proposed Option issue has abstained from recommending the Resolution as a result of their material personal interest in the outcome.

Directors Interest

The Director being granted Options in Resolution 5 has a personal interest in the outcome of that Resolution.

Other information reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision that is known to the Company or any of its Directors

S C H E D UL E 1 – O PT I O N S T E R M S A ND C O N DI T I O N S

The Options that are the subject of Resolutions 4 and 5 will be issued on the following terms and conditions

  1. Each Option entitles the holder to one Share (fully paid ordinary share).

  2. The exercise price of the Options are outlined in each Resolution.

  3. The vesting condition of the Options are outlined in each Resolution. The Options also vest if a Takeover Event occurs. A Takeover Event for the purposes of the Options means a takeover bid for the Company pursuant to Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act where at least 50% of the holders of ordinary shares accept the bid.

  4. Subject to the vesting hurdle being met, the Options are exercisable at any time prior to 5.00 pm WST on the expiry dates noted in each Resolution (" Expiry Date ").

  5. The Options are only transferable with Board approval. The Options are not intended to be quoted.

  6. The Company will provide to each Option holder a notice that is to be completed when exercising the Options (" Notice of Exercise "). The Options may be exercised wholly or in part by completing the Notice of Exercise and delivering it together with payment to the secretary of the Company to be received any time prior to the Expiry Date. The Company will process all relevant documents received at the end of every calendar month.

  7. Upon the exercise of an Option and receipt of all relevant documents and payment, the holder will be issued a Share ranking equally with the then issued Shares.

  8. There will be no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and the holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital which may be offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company will ensure that the Optionholder will be notified of a proposed issue after the issue is announced. This will give an Optionholder the opportunity to exercise their Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

  9. If there is a bonus issue (" Bonus Issue ") to Shareholders, the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the Bonus Issue (" Bonus Shares "). The Bonus Shares must be paid up by the Company out of profits or reserves (as the case may be) in the same manner as was applied in the Bonus Issue, and upon issue will rank equally in all respects with the other Shares on issue as at the date of issue of the Bonus Shares.

  10. In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company prior to the Expiry Date, all rights of an Optionholder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Listing Rules.
