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 Monday, 30 November 2020 at 10.00am (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 2020, which are included in Hazer’s Annual Report.
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the Annual Report, and on the management of Hazer.
The Company’s auditor will be present at the Meeting. During the discussion of this item, the auditor will be available to answer questions on:
-
the conduct of the audit;
-
the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report;
-
the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the Financial Statements; and
-
the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
Written questions for the auditor
If you would like to submit a written question about the content of the Auditor’s Report or the conduct of the audit of the Annual Financial Report to the Company’s auditor, please send your question to the Company Secretary. A list of qualifying questions will be made available at the Meeting.
Please note that all written questions must be received at least five business days before the Meeting, that is by Monday, 23 November 2020.
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 2021 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 2021 Remuneration Report are against it, Hazer will be required to put to 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
8
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.
3. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Rule 7.3(a) of the Constitution requires that one third of the Directors (excluding Directors appointed under rule 7.2(b)), or if their number is not a multiple of three, then rounded down to the nearest whole number must retire at each annual general meeting.

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 & 4 RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SECURITIES – PLACEMENT UNDER LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A
Background
On 18 June 2020, the Company announced that it had issued 20,000,000 Shares in a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.42 per Share raising approximately $8,400,000 (before costs) (Placement).
The Placement Shares were issued without prior Shareholder approval using the Company’s placement capacities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (16,071,195 Shares) and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (3,928,805 Shares).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 restricts listed companies in relation to the number of equity securities that they can issue or agree to issue without shareholder approval. Generally, a listed company cannot, in any 12 month period, issue a number of equity securities which is more than 15% of their fully paid ordinary shares on issue without shareholder approval, unless an exception applies.
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%. The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at its previous annual general meeting held on 19 November 2019.
As the Placement utilised part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, it reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where holders of ordinary securities approve a previous issue of securities made without approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and provided that the previous issue of securities did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1, those securities shall be deemed to have been issued with Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Shareholder approval and Specific information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval in Resolutions 3 and 4 to ratify the Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A respectively, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue with Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
If Resolutions 3 and 4 are not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A respectively, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires the following information to be provided to Shareholders:
- (a) The Shares were issued to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors, none of whom are related parties of the Company, a member of Key Management Personnel, a substantial holder in the Company, an adviser to the Company or an associate of any such person. The Shares were issued to existing shareholders; and
10
professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Viriathus Capital Limited (Lead Manager). The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company.
-
(b) The number of securities issued was 20,000,000 Shares. 16,071,195 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 3) and 3,928,805 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A placement capacity (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 4).
-
(c) The Placement Shares issued rank equally with, and are on the same terms as, the existing Shares on issue.
-
(d) 20,000,000 Placement Shares were issued at $0.42 per share raising approximately $8.4 million (before costs).
-
(e) Funds raised from the issue of 20,000,000 Shares will be used to construct a Commercial Demonstration Plant, the first fully integrated, operational production facility based on the Hazer Process, and support the Company’s ongoing research and development program into applications for our graphite advanced carbon material, business development activities, and general working capital.
-
(f) The Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement, however, subscribers for Placement Shares entered into binding commitment letters with the Lead Manager.
-
(g) A voting exclusion applies to this item of business, as set out in the Notice of Meeting.
Board recommendation: The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of ratifying the above issue of Placement Shares.
5 RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
5.1 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 for these purposes and as at the date of this Notice has a market capitalisation of approximately $92,092,969.
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 Section 5.2(c) below).
A voting exclusion applies to this item of business, as set out in the Notice of Meeting.
5.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval and Specific information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
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 5 is a special
11
resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 5 for it to be passed.
If Resolution 5 is passed the Company will have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
If Resolution 5 is not passed the Company will not have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.
(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 one quoted class of Equity Securities on issue on the ASX, being the Shares (ASX Code: HZR).
(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 issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
5.3 Specific 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 5.
12
(a) Approval Period
An approval under 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following.
-
(i) The date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained.
-
(ii) The time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting.
-
(iii) The time and date of the approval by holders of the Company’s Shares of a transaction under rule 11.1.2 or rule 11.2.
( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).
(b) Minimum Price
Any Equity Securities issued under rule 7.1A.2 must be in an existing quoted class of the Company’s Equity Securities and issued for a cash consideration per Equity Security which is not less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for 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 by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) 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 commercialisation of its technology, 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 will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 upon any issue of Equity Securities.
(d) 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 5 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.

$27,625,911 |
| 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:
-
Variable “A” in the above table is calculated with reference to the total shares on issue as at 26 October 2020.
-
The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 26 October 2020.
-
The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
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.
-
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.
-
This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
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%.
-
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.
-
(e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity
14
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 30 November 2019.
During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 November 2019, the Company has issued a total of 32,505,441 Shares which represents approximately 22.0% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 30 November 2019, which was 148,021,028.
Of these issues of Equity Securities, 3,928,805 Shares were issued pursuant to the previous ASX Listing Rule 7.1A approval which represents approximately 2.7% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 30 November 2019, which was 148,021,028.
Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A in this 12 month period are outlined below and the following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.6(b) in respect of these issues:

| Recipients | Professional and sophisticated investors who participated in a placement undertaken by the Company, none of which were related parties of the entity, members of key management personnel, advisers to the entity or associates of the above, who received more than 1% of the issued capital at the time of issue. |
| Issue Price and discount to Market Price (if any) |
$0.42 per Share (a discount of 26% to the closing market price on the date of agreement to issue the Shares). |
| Form of Consideration | Cash |
| Total Cash Consideration | Amount raised: $8,400,000 (before costs), of which $1,650,098.10 was raised under listing Rule 7.1A. Amountspent:Nil |
15
The intended use of funds from the above Shares issues is to accelerate the Company’s growth strategy including the construction a Commercial Demonstration Plant, and supporting the Company’s ongoing research and development program into applications for the Company’s graphite advanced carbon material, business development activities, and improving the Company’s working capital position.
At the time of despatching the Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Board recommendation: The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the resolution.
