Notice under Section 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)

On 23 May 2023, Highfield Resources Limited ACN 153 918 257 (ASX:HFR) ( Highfield or Company ) announced that it had entered into a convertible note deed ( CND ) with each of EMR Capital Investment (No. 2B) Pte Ltd ( EMR Fund 1 ), EMR Capital GP III Limited in its capacity as general partner of EMR Capital Resources Fund III, LP ( EMR Fund III )[1] , Boutique Capital Pty Ltd as trustee for the Tectonic Opportunities Fund ( Tectonic ), Benjamin John Haan as trustee for The Haan Family Trust ( Haan ) and Michael Dieter Barben ( Barben ) (together, the Noteholders ), pursuant to which the Noteholders had agreed to subscribe for, in aggregate, approximately A$25 million of unlisted convertible notes ( Notes ) which, on conversion, entitle the Noteholders to be issued fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( Shares ).

Highfield has prepared this cleansing notice ( Notice ) for the purposes of section 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ), as notionally inserted by ASIC Corporations (Sale Offers: Securities Issued on Conversion of Notes) Instrument 2016/ 82 ( Instrument 2016/82 ), to permit freely tradable Shares to be issued on conversion of the Notes issued by the Company to Tectonic, Haan and Barben.

The Notes which are proposed to be issued to EMR Fund 1 and EMR Fund III ( EMR Parties ) will be issued shortly after approval of the holders of the Company's ordinary shares ( Shareholders ) at the Company's extraordinary general meeting to be held on or about 21 June 2023 ( Shareholder Approval ). If Shareholder Approval is not received, the Notes will not be issued to the EMR Parties. No shareholder approval was required for the issuance of the Notes to Tectonic, Haan and Barben, and those notes were issued on the date of this notice.

The key terms and conditions of the Notes (and the agreement under which they are to be issued) are set out in Annexure B – 'Terms and conditions of the Notes' of this Notice ( Terms and Conditions ).

The Company confirms that:

  • (a) the Notes have been or will be issued without disclosure under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act;

  • (b) this Notice comprises a notice under section 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act in respect of the Notes, as inserted by ASIC Instrument 2016/82; and

  • (c) this Notice complies with section 708A(12D) of the Corporations Act as inserted by Instrument 2016/82.

No offer

This Notice does not constitute an offer of any Notes for issue or sale, or an invitation to subscribe for or purchase any Notes and is not intended to be used in connection with any such offer or invitation.

1 Funds managed by EMR Capital Management Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a specialist resources focused private equity manager. EMR Fund 1 has a right to appoint, and has appointed, a nominee to the board of directors of the Company and, the EMR Noteholders therefore, are parties which would be caught by the ambit of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.3.

Contents of this Notice

This Notice sets out information that the Company believes investors and their professional advisers would reasonably require to make an informed assessment of the effect of the issue of the Notes on the Company and summarises the rights and liabilities attaching to the Notes and the Shares that may be issued on conversion of the Notes.

Effect of issue of the Notes on the Company

The Notes have been or will be issued to the Noteholders without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act.

The principal effects of the issue of the Notes on the Company are as follows:

  • (a) the Company's cash reserves will be increased by A$7 million (for the Notes issued to Tectonic, Haan and Barben) and approximately A$25 million[2] for all Notes (in each case, before costs associated with the issue of the Notes to the Noteholders);

  • (b) the Company will issue an aggregate of 1,938 Notes to the Noteholders as follows:

  • (i) 51 Notes to EMR Fund 1 having a face value of US$10,000 per Note;

  • (ii) 1,173 Notes to EMR Fund III having a face value of US$10,000 per Note;

  • (iii) 255 Notes to Tectonic having a face value of A$10,000 per Note;

  • (iv) 255 Notes to Haan having a face value of A$10,000 per Note; and

  • (v) 204 Notes to Barben having a face value of A$10,000 per Note;

  • (c) the Company's indebtedness will be increased by the aggregate face value of the Notes, being $7 million for the Notes issued to Tectonic, Haan and Barben and approximately A$25 million for all Notes, plus, in each case, all capitalised and accrued but uncapitalised interest; and

  • (d) each Note will bear interest at the rate of 14% p.a. provided that:

  • (i) additional default interest of 4% p.a. will be payable while an event of default subsists;

  • (ii) additional interest of 4% p.a. will also be payable if the share pledge and shareholder loan security is not granted (or the requirement to provide that security is not waived by the Noteholders) by the date which is 4 months after the date of issuance of the Notes to the EMR Parties,

(together the Interest Rate );

  • (e) the Notes will be secured by way of a pledge over all of the shares and shareholder loans which the Company indirectly holds (via its wholly owned subsidiary KCL Resources Limited ACN 150 161 658 ( KCL )) in its wholly-owned subsidiary Geoalcali S.L.U. (which owns the Company's Muga Muriate of Potash Project ( Project )). If the pledge is not provided to the Noteholders within 4 months of the date of issue of the Notes to the EMR Parties then the Interest Rate (defined below) will be increased by 4% per annum ( p.a. ); and

  • (f) if the Notes are converted, this will dilute the holdings of existing Shareholders. The effect of the conversion of the Notes on the Company's capital structure is shown in the table below.

The Notes are to convert into Shares at the lower of:

  • A$0.515, being the volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of the Shares as traded on ASX over the 20 trading days prior to the date of the CND;

  • if a 'Change of Control Trigger Date' (as defined in the CND) occurs, a 25% discount to the implied valuation per Share from the relevant 'change of control' transaction; and

2 Foreign exchange rate for conversion is US$1.00 to A$1.50.

Page 2

  • if the Company undertakes any new issue of Shares while any Notes remain on issue, a 10% discount to the lowest issue price of the new Shares in question (subject to a floor conversion price of A$0.2575). This limb can operate on more than one occasion.

The Company notes that, while the first limb above is a fixed conversion price and there is a floor conversion price for the third limb above, there is technically no floor price under the second limb above (although the Company considers it unlikely that the price under that limb would be lower than under any other limb).

If the Company does undertake an issue of new Shares (which is the case that is covered by the third limb above), and such issuance triggers a lower conversion price that the one set up by the first limb of the conversion price formulation above, this would have the following dilutionary impact on the Company’s shareholders, as illustrated in the table below (with calculations made in relation to the total amount of Notes of A$25 million).

Notes :

  1. The above calculations do not contemplate conversion of any accrued interest as may be payable to the Noteholders (but does include the capitalisation of the arrangement fee described in the Terms and Conditions in Appendix B of this Notice). The Company will ensure that any further conversion of accrued interest is conducted in accordance with all applicable laws. The calculations assume a spot A$:US$ exchange rate of US$0.67 to A$1.00.

  2. The issue of Shares on the conversion of any accrued interest will have a further dilutionary effect on the Company's shareholders.

  3. The above calculations do not contemplate conversion of existing unquoted options of the Company currently on issue and no other shares are issued prior to conversion.

  4. The Notes are all converted in full.

Similarly, if there is a 'change of control' transaction and such a transaction triggers a conversion price of the Notes (given the operation of the second limb of the conversion price formulation above) which is lower than the other limbs´ conversion price, this would have a dilutionary impact on the Company's Shareholders, as illustrated in the table below (with calculations made in relation to the total amount of Notes of A$25 million).

The Company will ensure that any further conversion of accrued interest is conducted in accordance with all applicable laws. The calculations assume a spot A$:US$ exchange rate of US$0.67 to A$1.00.

  2. The issue of Shares on the conversion of any accrued interest will have a further dilutionary effect on the Company's shareholders.

  3. The above calculations do not contemplate conversion of existing unquoted options of the Company currently on issue.

  4. The Notes are all converted in full.

  5. To enable comparison with the table above, this conversion price is the same as the floor price for the third limb of the conversion mechanism, despite the absence of a floor price in the case of this second limb being the lowest of the three.

Pro-forma statement of financial position

Set out below is a pro-forma statement of the Company's financial position as at 31 December 2022, based on the Company's financial statements included in the Company's annual financial report for the year ended 31 December 2022, lodged with ASX on 31 March 2023 ( Annual Financial Report ), adjusted to reflect the issue of the Notes.

The pro-forma statement of financial position:

  • (a) has been prepared in accordance with the Company's usual accounting policies under Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ( AASB ) and the Corporations Act;

  • (c) is not audited and is based on financial statements that have been reviewed by the Company's auditor;

  • (d) has been prepared on the basis that the Notes include embedded derivatives (the conversion component for which the Note terms adjust the security into a variable number of Shares in the Company). The debt host component of the Notes is initially recognised as financial liabilities at fair value (with fair value equating to the proceeds received) and subsequently, the debt is measured at amortised cost. Any movements in the fair value of the embedded derivative and effective interest associated with the debt host component will be recognised in the Company’s statement of profit or loss has been provisionally prepared for the Notes, accordingly, the allocations between liabilities and equity detailed therein are subject to future change.

Page 7

Item Term Description
9. Coupon Each Note will bear interest at the rate of 14% p.a. provided that:
■additional default interest of 4% p.a. will be payable while an
Event of Default (defined in Item 18 below) subsists;
■additional interest of 4% p.a. will also be payable if the
Security Condition is not satisfied or waived by the date which
is 4 months after the date of issuance of the Notes to the EMR
Parties (End Date),
(together theInterest Rate).
Interest will:
■accrue at the relevant Interest Rate(s) from the issue date up to
and including the date on which the Notes are converted or
redeemed;
■be calculated and capitalised and added to the total amount
outstanding by the issue of new Notes on a quarterly basis; and
■be payable in kind on conversion or redemption (to the extent
not already paid).
10. Voluntary pre-
payment
The Company may prepay the Loan Amount (together with all

Maturity Date with at least 20 business days' notice to the Noteholders
and payment of the applicable Prepayment Make-Whole Amount (as

Item 15 below).
11. Pre-payment
make-whole
amount
If the Loan Amount is repaid:
■prior to the date which is 18 months following the date of issuance

some of their Notes into Shares at any time from the date of issue of
the Notes until the Outstanding Amount has been repaid in full.

Page 8

Item Term Description
14. Restrictions on
conversion of Notes
If all or some of a conversion of Notes issued to the EMR Parties is not
possible for regulatory reasons (including FIRB approval not having
been received and the EMR Parties not being able to rely on the
'creep' provisions in item 9 of section 611 of the Corporations Act)
(Creep Capacity), that part of a conversion will be cash-settled by the
Company such that the EMR Parties will receive the equivalent value in
cash that it would have realised if Shares had been issued to the EMR
Parties on conversion of their Notes at the Conversion Price (defined at
Item 15 below) and sold immediately at the applicable Conversion
Price, provided that, in such circumstances, the EMR Parties may only
voluntarily convert on an Event of Default (defined at Item 18 below), a
Change of Control (defined at Item 17 below) or on the Maturity Date
(Conversion Restriction).
The Conversion Restriction will not apply if the EMR Parties do not
have sufficient Creep Capacity but Chapter 6 Approval (defined below)
has been obtained. The EMR Parties may at any time request that the
Company seek Chapter 6 Approval and the Company will convene a
meeting of its Shareholders to seek such approval.
Chapter 6 Approvalmeans approval by Shareholders of the
conversion of the Notes into Shares under item 7 of section 611 of the
Corporations Act.
15. Conversion price The conversion price will be equal to the Outstanding Amount
attributable to the Notes being converted divided by the lower of:
■A$0.515, being the VWAP of the Shares as traded on ASX
over the 20 trading days prior to the date of the CND;
■if a Change of Control (defined at Item 17 below) occurs, a
25% discount to the implied valuation per Share from the
relevant Change of Control transaction; and
■if the Company undertakes any new issue of Shares while any
Notes remain on issue, a 10% discount to the lowest issue
price of the new Shares in question (subject to a floor price of
A$0.2575). This limb can operate on more than one occasion,
(theConversion Price).
16. Mandatory
conversion of Notes
If any Outstanding Amount balance remains owing at the time of first
drawdown under the Company's senior debt facility financing for the
Project, the Outstanding Amount (excluding any Prepayment Make-
Whole Amount) will mandatorily convert into Shares at the Conversion
Price, unless, in respect of the EMR Parties, the Conversion Restriction
applies in which case the Notes held by the EMR Parties will be
redeemed to the extent not able to be converted because of the
Conversion Restriction.
17. Change of Control If a Change of Control Trigger Date (as defined in the CND) occurs, the
Noteholders may (if they have not converted all of their Notes prior to
then), by not less than 15 days' notice to the Company require
repayment of Outstanding Amount. If a Change of Control occurs prior
to 18 months from the date of issuance of the Notes to the EMR Parties,
the Prepayment Make-Whole Amount is payable.
18. Events of default The CND includes customary events of default for a transaction of this
nature, including, but not limited to:

insolvency of the Company, KCL or Geoalcali;

any payment default under the CND;
■material breach (after relevant cure period exhausted) of other
obligations under the CND (provided that failure to satisfy the
Security Condition shall not be an Event of Default);

Page 9

Item Term Description
■cross default of any financial indebtedness of the Company or its
subsidiaries where the amount owed under the financial
indebtedness exceeds US$1,000,000;
■the Company's senior facility agreement is cancelled or
terminated;
■the Company takes any action that is designed to have the effect
of terminating its listing on ASX;

the key Project permit is revoked;

the Company, Geoalcali or both make a final decision to
discontinue the Project;
■the Company receives any written notification from ASX that ASX
is contemplating terminating its listing;
■an Issuer Group Member (as defined in the CND) breaches in a
material respect any representation or warranty given in a
Transaction Document (as defined in the CND);
■a Transaction Document is or becomes void or unenforceable
in any material respect;
■Geoalcali ceases to be a wholly owned direct subsidiary of KCL or
KCL ceases to be a wholly owned direct subsidiary of the
Company;
■compulsory acquisition of all or a material part of the assets of the
Company by a government agency; and
■any event or circumstance occurs which has or would have a
Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the CND),
(theEvents of Default).
19. Quotation The Notes will not be listed on ASX or any other exchange.
20. Voting rights The Notes will not confer the right to vote at any board or Shareholder
meeting of the Company.
21. Participation The Notes do not confer a right on the holder of the Notes to participate
in any issue of securities of the Company.
22. Adjustment
provisions
Standard adjustment provisions to the Conversion Price to deal with
rights issues, placements, buybacks, share splits or consolidations, and
other corporate events to be included in the CND.
