EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the Auditor’s Report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.hyterra.com or on the ASX platform for “HYT” www.asx.com.au .

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

4

2974-08/3413132_12

2.3 Previous voting results

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%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

2.4 Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

Proxy Directions given No directions given
Key Management Personnel1 Vote as directed Unable to vote3
Chair2 Vote as directed Able to vote at discretion of
Proxy4
Other Vote as directed Able to vote at discretion of Proxy

Notes:

2 Refers to the Chair (where he/she is also a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report), or a Closely Related Party of such a member.

3 Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be voted and will not be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called on this Resolution.

4 The Proxy Form notes it is the Chair’s intention to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR AVON MCINTYRE

3.1 General

Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Mr Avon McIntyre who was appointed by other Directors on 24 February 2022 in accordance with the Constitution and was last re-elected on 30 May 2023 retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr McIntyre is a current Executive Director of the Company and acts as Chief Techinical Officer.

Mr McIntyre (PhD; Wiakato University, NZ, 2002) is a geologist with over 20 years’ experience in both minerals and oil and gas exploration industries, with roles in government, service and operating companies. He worked for Shell Development Australia and Shell International in new ventures and new energies from 2008 to 2021, during which time he developed an interest in natural hydrogen occurrences. He has been providing consulting services on an exclusive basis to HYT since October 2021 through his company McIntyre Geological Services Pty Ltd before joining the board of directors of HYT in February 2022.

3.3 Independence

If re-elected the Board considers that Mr McIntyre will not be an independent Director.

5

3.4 Board recommendation

The Board has reviewed Mr McIntyre’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr McIntyre’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Mr McIntyre and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

4.1 General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX 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.

However, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $57,188,561 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 22 April 2025).

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

For note, a special resolution is a resolution requiring at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote at the meeting in favour of the resolution.

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 under 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.

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 4:

  • (a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid

The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

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

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

6

  • (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).

(b) Minimum Price

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash consideration at a minimum price of 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 by the entity 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 section 4.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate

The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for the purpose set out for Shareholders at the time of such an issue. However, in general terms, the Company could issue Equity Securities under the additional placement capacity to raise cash to fund the Company's forward exploration work programs, for general working capital expenses, or acquiring new assets (including any expenses associated with such an acquisition). The Company is currently undertaking drilling operations on its leases across Kansas. The Company may seek to undertake further drilling, exploration and development activities on these assets that could require additional funding and investment.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, 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 22 April 2025.

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 7.1A Mandate.

*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 conversion of options or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. 1,633,958,893 Shares that are currently on issue as of the date of this Notice; The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 22 April 2025 (being $0.035).

  2. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

  3. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  4. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised and no Performance Rights vest 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 unless otherwise disclosed.

  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 7.1A Mandate, 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 policy under the 7.1A Mandate

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate 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 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:

8

  • (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, share purchase plan, placement 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).

  • (f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 24 May 2024 ( Previous Approval ).

There have been no issues of Equity Securities by the Company pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.2 during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting.

4.3 Voting Exclusion

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.

5. RESOLUTION 4 & 5 - ISSUE OF ZERO EXERCISE OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS

5.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue an aggregate of 28,000,000 zero exercise price Options (ZEPOs) to the Directors as follows:

  • (a) 7,000,000 Class F ZEPOs and 7,000,000, Class G ZEPOs to Mr Benjamin Mee (or their nominee/s) (Mee ZEPOs) (being the subject of Resolution 4); and

  • (b) 7,000,000 Class F ZEPOs and 7,000,000, Class G ZEPOs to Mr Avon McIntyre (or their nominee/s) (McIntyre ZEPOs) (being the subject of Resolution 5),

on the terms and conditions set out below.

Messrs Mee and McIntyre are hereafter referred to as the Related Parties. The Mee ZEPOs and McIntyre ZEPOs are together the Director ZEPOs.

Resolutions 4 and 5 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director ZEPOs to the Related Parties.

9

5.2 Director Recommendation

Mr Benjamin Mee and Mr Avon McIntyre are executive Directors of the Company and therefore Mr Russell Brimage and Ms Christine Nicolau are the remaining Directors who do not have a material personal interest in either Resolution 4 or 5.

Each of Mr Brimage and Ms Nicolau believes that the issue of Securities to Mr Mee and Mr McIntyre is in line with Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX CGPR, Mr Brimage and Ms Nicolau consider that the issue is reasonable in the circumstances for the reasons set out in Section 5.6;

Each of Mr Brimage and Ms Nicolau recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of these Resolutions for the reasons set out in Section 5.6. In forming their recommendation, Mr Brimage and Ms Nicolau considered the performance of Mr Mee and Mr McIntyre, the current market price of Shares, the current market standards and practices when determining the number of ZEPOs to be issued to each of the Related Parties, as well as the exercise price, vesting condition, and expiry date of those ZEPOs.

The Related Parties have a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions on the basis that the Directors (other than Mr Brimage and Ms Nicolau) (or their nominee(s)) are to be issued Securities on the same terms and conditions should these Resolutions be passed. For this reason, the Related Parties do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on these Resolutions.

Mr Brimage and Ms Nicolau confirm that they are able to form a quorum under the Constitution of the Company to consider and vote upon the grant of the Director ZEPOs.

5.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director ZEPOs to the Related Parties within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director ZEPOs (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director ZEPOs will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 4 and 5 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director ZEPOs and may have to use other methods to remunerate and retain the Related Parties which may not be as cost effective for the Company.

5.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act .

The issue of Director ZEPOs to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

Mr Brimage and Ms Nicolau have considered the issue of the Director ZEPOs and have each formed the view that they constitute reasonable remuneration for two Executive

10

Directors in the positions that they occupy and having regard to the industry in which the Company operates. As such each of Mr Brimage and Ms Nicolau have determined that Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E is not required for the issue of the Director ZEPOs.

5.5 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rules 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • (a) a related party;

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of Director ZEPOs falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 4 and 5 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director ZEPOs for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

5.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 4 and 5:

  • (a) The Director ZEPOs will be issued to:

  • (i) Mr Mee (or his nominee/s) pursuant to Resolution 4; and
