The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on all the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.
This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary or otherwise in the Explanatory Statement.
1. ANNUAL REPORT
Section 317 of the Corporations Act requires the reports of the directors and of the auditors and the Annual Report, including the financial statements, to be put before the Annual General Meeting and the Constitution provides for those reports and statements to be received and considered at the Annual General Meeting.
Neither the Corporations Act nor the Constitution requires a vote of Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on the reports or statements. However, Shareholders will be given the opportunity to raise questions on the reports and the statements at the Annual General Meeting.
The Company’s 2022 Annual Report is available at www.heliosenergyltd.com. Those shareholders that elected to receive a printed copy of the Annual Report will have received a copy with this Notice of Annual General Meeting.
At the Meeting, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to:
-
(a) discuss the Annual Report;
-
(b) ask questions about, or comment on, the management of the Company; and
-
(c) ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report.
In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company, or to the Company’s auditor about:
-
(a) the preparation and the content of the Auditor’s Report;
-
(b) the conduct of the audit;

-
(d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,
may be submitted no later than five business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company’s registered office.
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF THE REMUNERATION REPORT
The Remuneration Report is in the Directors Report section of the Company’s Annual Report.
By way of summary, the Remuneration Report:
- (a) explains the Company’s remuneration policy and the process for determining the remuneration of its Directors and executive officers;
Helios Energy Limited - 2022 Annual General Meeting
page 8 of 18
-
(b) addresses the relationship between the Company’s remuneration policy and the Company’s performance; and
-
(c) sets out remuneration details for each Director and each of the Company’s executives named in the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2022.
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires companies to put a resolution to their members that the Remuneration Report be adopted. The vote on this resolution is advisory only, however, and does not bind the Board or the Company. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.
The Chairman will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about or to make comments on the Remuneration Report.
Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution that a further meeting is held at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) must stand for re-election. Voting on this resolution will be determined by a poll at the meeting rather than a show of hands. Shareholders voted in favour (99.98%) of the Remuneration Report at the 2021 AGM.
Undirected Proxies
The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intention.
Any undirected proxies held by any other key management personnel or any of their closely related parties will not be voted on this resolution.
Key management personnel of the Company has the same meaning as set out in the accounting standards and includes the Directors of the Company and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Company’s key management personnel for the financial year to 30 June 2022. Their closely related parties are defined in the Corporations Act, and include certain members of their family, dependents and companies they control.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF MR HUI YE AS A DIRECTOR
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and Clause 14.2 of the Constitution provide that a re-election of Directors must be held at each annual general meeting.
The Directors to retire are to be those who have been in office for 3 years since their appointment or last reappointment or who have been longest in office since their appointment or last re-appointment or, if the Directors have been in office for an equal length of time, by agreement.
Mr Hui Ye, who has served as a Director since 1 December 2017, and was last re-elected on 26 November 2019, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
Mr Ye is the Chairman and President of Beijing Chunhui Yuan Group, which is a large and very successful private company with extensive interests in real estate, hotels, natural resources, education and entertainment. Mr Ye was a graduate of Shenzhen University in 1988 and is a descendent of one of the most influential families in modern China’s history. Through Notable Pioneer Limited, Mr Ye holds the largest shareholding in the Company (605,576,359 shares, which equates to a 23.26% shareholding in the Company).
If re-elected the Board does not consider Mr Ye will be an independent Director. Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
The Board (excluding Mr Ye) supports the re-election of Mr Ye to the Board and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – PROPORTIONAL TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
4.1 General
Under the Corporations Act, a company may include provisions in its constitution to enable it to refuse to register shares acquired under a proportional takeover bid unless a resolution approving the bid is passed by the shareholders. Such provisions cease to apply three years after they were inserted into the company's constitution, or last renewed by shareholders.
A company may insert new provisions by special resolution in the same manner as altering its constitution.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution (requiring approval by 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the Resolution) to insert new proportional takeover bid provisions in the Constitution so that they remain in effect for three years from the date of the Meeting. The Directors consider that it is in the best interests of Shareholders to insert the new proportional takeover provisions in its Constitution, by way of a new Clause 36 in the form detailed in Schedule 1.
The information is set out below so that Shareholders may make an informed decision on whether to support or oppose this Resolution.
4.2 What is a Proportional Takeover Bid
A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder of a company is only for a proportion of that shareholder's shares in the company.
Accordingly, if a shareholder accepts in full the offer under a proportional takeover bid, the shareholder will dispose of the specified portion of their shares in the company and retain the balance of the shares.
4.3 Effect of the Provisions to be Renewed
If a proportional takeover bid is made to Shareholders, the Board will be required to convene a meeting of Shareholders to vote on a resolution to approve the proportional takeover bid. That meeting must be held at least 14 days before the offer under the proportional takeover bid closes.
The resolution shall be taken to have been passed if a majority of Shares voted at the meeting, excluding the Shares of the bidder and its associates, vote in favour of the resolution. The Directors will breach the Corporations Act if they fail to ensure the resolution to approve the offer is voted on. However, if no resolution is voted on before the end of the 15[th ] day before the close of the offer, the resolution will be deemed to have been passed. Where the resolution approving the offer is passed or deemed to have been passed, transfers of Shares resulting from accepting the offer will be registered provided they otherwise comply with the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Operating Rules and the Constitution. If the resolution is not approved, then in accordance with the Corporations Act, the offer will be deemed to be withdrawn.
The proportional takeover approval provisions do not apply to full takeover bids and only apply for three years after the date of adoption of the provisions. The provisions may be renewed for a further threeyear term, but only by a special resolution of Shareholders.
4.4 Reasons for Proposing Resolution 3
The Directors consider that Shareholders should have the opportunity to insert the proportional takeover approval provisions in the Constitution. Without the inclusion of such provisions, a proportional takeover bid for the Company may enable effective control of the Company to be acquired without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all of their Shares to the bidder. Accordingly, Shareholders could be at risk of passing control to the bidder without payment of an adequate control premium for all their Shares whilst leaving themselves as part of a minority interest in the Company.
These provisions deal with this possibility by providing that if a proportional takeover bid is made for Shares, Shareholders must vote on whether or not a proportional takeover bid should be permitted to proceed.
The benefit of these provisions is that Shareholders are able to decide collectively whether the proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle and it may ensure that any partial offer is appropriately priced.
Helios Energy Limited - 2022 Annual General Meeting
page 10 of 18
4.5 No Knowledge of Present Acquisition Proposals
As at the last date before the finalisation of this Explanatory Memorandum, no Director is aware of a proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.
4.6 Potential Advantages for Directors and Shareholders
The insertion of the proportional takeover approval provisions will enable the Directors to formally ascertain the views of Shareholders in respect of a proportional takeover bid. Without such provisions, the Directors are dependent upon their perception of the interests and views of Shareholders. Other than this advantage, the Directors consider that the renewal of these provisions has no potential advantages or potential disadvantages for them as they remain free to make a recommendation on whether a proportional takeover offer should be accepted.
The Directors consider that inserting the new proportional takeover approval provisions will benefit all Shareholders in that they will have an opportunity to consider a proportional takeover bid and then attend or be represented by proxy at a meeting of Shareholders called specifically to vote on the proposal. Accordingly, Shareholders will be able to prevent a proportional takeover bid proceeding if there is sufficient support for the proposition that control of the Company should not be permitted to pass under the proportional takeover bid. The provisions may also help Shareholders avoid being locked in as a minority with one majority Shareholder. In addition, increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders may ensure that any partial offer is adequately priced. Furthermore, knowing the view of Shareholders assists each individual Shareholder in assessing the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid and whether to accept or reject that bid.
4.7 Potential Disadvantages for Directors and Shareholders
It may be argued that renewing the proportional takeover provisions will make it more difficult for a proportional takeover bid to succeed and will therefore discourage proportional takeover bids. The chance of a proportional takeover bid being successful may be reduced. In turn, this may reduce the opportunities which Shareholders may have to sell all or some of their Shares at a premium to persons seeking control of the Company. Such a provision may also be considered an additional restriction on the ability of individual Shareholders to deal freely in their Shares.
4.8 Directors' Recommendation
On balance, the Directors consider that the possible advantages outweigh the possible disadvantages such that the insertion of the proportional takeover approval provisions is in the interests of Shareholders.
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. Each Director intends to vote all the Shares controlled by him or her in favour of the Resolution.
If Resolution 3 is approved by 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the Resolution, Clause 36 of the Constitution, as set out in Schedule 1 of this Notice will be inserted into the Constitution and will take effect from the end of the Meeting.
5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY
5.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the 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. 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 (refer to Section 5.2(c) below).
If Resolution 4 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.
Helios Energy Limited - 2022 Annual General Meeting
page 11 of 18
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities 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 Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 4 is in the best interests of the Company because if exploration success is achieved at its Presidio Oil Project in Texas, USA or at the Company’s helium extraction plants in China over the next 12 months, this resolution provides the ability for the Company to raise additional funds quickly. The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
5.2 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. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present (in person, or by proxy or representative) and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 4 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.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue two classes of Equity Securities, namely quoted Shares and Unquoted Options.
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12-month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
where
A = The number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of the 12 months immediately preceding the date of issue or agreement to issue:
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
the issue of, or agreement to issue the convertible securities was approve or taken under these rules to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period;
-
or
-
the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;
-
plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;
-
plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period; and
-
less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the last 12 months.
Helios Energy Limited - 2022 Annual General Meeting
page 12 of 18
Note that A has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.
-
D = 10%
-
E = the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the last 12 months immediately preceding the date or issue of the securities where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 2,604,049,443 Shares, meaning the Company has the capacity to issue:
-
(i) 390,607,416 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) 260,404,944 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 5.2(c) above).
- (e) 10% Placement period
The 10% Placement Period is defined in section 5.4(a) below.
5.3 Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 4 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).
5.4 Listing Rule 7.3A Information Requirements
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) 10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(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; or
-
(iii) the time and date of the approval by shareholders of ordinary securities of a transaction under ASX 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 Issue 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 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
Helios Energy Limited - 2022 Annual General Meeting
page 13 of 18
- (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(c) Purpose for which the 10% Placement Facility may be implemented
The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new resource assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and/or for general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 7.1A(4) upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution
If Resolution 4 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 (in the case of Unlisted Options, only if the Unlisted Options are exercised). There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities 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 the Company's 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 below table 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:
-
(i) 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
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

Helios Energy Limited - 2022 Annual General Meeting
page 14 of 18
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(ii) No options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(iii) 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%.
-
(iv) 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.
-
(v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes options, it is assumed that those options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
(vii) The issue price is $0.091, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 7 October 2022.
(e) Allocation policy when the 10% Placement Facility may be implemented
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees 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 methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders and/or new Shareholders (or both), none of whom will be related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
(f) Prior Approvals under Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company has previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2021 Annual General meeting, however has not issued or agreed to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A2 in the 12 months preceding the date of this Notice.
(g) Voting Exclusions
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. 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 utilising this 10% Placement Facility following the 2022 Annual General Meeting. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting.
5.5 Directors’ Recommendation
Resolution 4 is a special resolution, which requires a minimum of 75% of the votes cast. The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
The Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 as this will enable the Company to conserve its cash, and the ability to issue equity securities in the event of a capital raise.
