TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

Technical difficulties may arise during the course of the Meeting. The Chair of the Meeting has discretion as to whether and how the Meeting should proceed if a technical difficulty arises. In exercising this discretion, the Chair of the Meeting will have regard to the number of Shareholders impacted and the extent to which participation in the business of the Meeting is affected. Where the Chair considers it appropriate, the Chair may continue to hold the Meeting and transact business, including conducting a poll and voting in accordance with valid proxy instructions. For this reason, Shareholders are encouraged to lodge a proxy in advance of the Meeting, even if they plan to attend the Meeting in person or online (noting that if the Shareholder votes on a Resolution either at the physical Meeting or online via the Computershare Meeting Solution platform, any proxy appointed by the Shareholder is not entitled to vote, and must not vote, as the Shareholder’s proxy on that Resolution).

Shareholders may experience local technical difficulties, such as poor internet connection. Please refer to the Computershare Online Meeting Guide for advice on optimising the online Meeting experience.

PROXIES

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote has a right to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of the Shareholder. A proxy need not be a Shareholder and can be either an individual or a body corporate. If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as a proxy, that body corporate will need to ensure that it:

  • appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at the Meeting, in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act; and

  • provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to commencement of the Meeting.

If such evidence is not received before the Meeting, then the body corporate (through its representative) will not be permitted to act as a proxy.

A Shareholder that is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint up to two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If no proportion or number is specified, each proxy may exercise an equal share of the Shareholder’s votes.

Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting by a Shareholder’s appointed proxy will automatically default to the Chair of the Meeting, who is required to vote proxies as directed on a poll.

Members of the Key Management Personnel or their Closely Related Parties will not be able to vote as proxy on Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8 unless the Shareholder tells them how to vote, or in the case of the Chair of the Meeting, unless the Shareholder expressly authorises him to do so. If a Shareholder intends to appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel (other than the Chair) or a Closely Related Party of a member of the Key Management Personnel as their proxy, the Shareholder should ensure that they direct the member of the Key Management Personnel or the Closely Related Party of a member of the Key Management Personnel how to vote on Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8.

If a Shareholder intends to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy for Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8, Shareholders can direct the Chair how to vote by marking one of the boxes (to vote ‘for’, ‘against’ or to ‘abstain’ from voting) for each of Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8.

If a Shareholder appoints the Chair as their proxy and the Shareholder does not direct the Chair how to vote on Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8, please note that by completing and returning the Proxy Form (or if the Chair becomes a Shareholder’s proxy by default), the Shareholder will be expressly authorising the Chair of the Meeting to exercise its undirected proxy on Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8, even though they are connected with

Page 8

==> picture [52 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

the remuneration of Key Management Personnel. The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all items of business.

Resolutions 6 and 7 – Issue of Service Rights to Mr. Ivan Vella; Issue of Performance Rights to Mr. Ivan Vella

Background to Resolutions 6 and 7

Mr. Vella commenced as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director on 11 December 2023. The key terms of Mr. Vella’s appointment are set out in the ASX announcement dated 13 June 2023.

Mr. Vella is eligible to participate in the Company’s Employee Incentive Plan ( EIP ) and, in particular, the Company proposes to grant to Mr Vella:

  • 55,381 Service Rights in respect of the settlement of the deferred component of his FY24 short-term incentive on the terms described in the Explanatory Memorandum accompanying this Notice of Meeting. The grant of these Service Rights is the subject of Resolution 6; and

  • 454,545 Performance Rights in respect of the three-year measurement period (being 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027). The value of these Performance Rights is $2,800,000, which is equal to 200% or Mr Vella’s total fixed remuneration (including superannuation) ( TFR ) for FY25. The grant of these Performance Rights is the subject of Resolution 7.

Mr. Vella’s current total remuneration package is as set out in the table below.

Total Remuneration FY25
TFR $ Service Rights (STI) %1 Performance Rights (LTI) %2
1,400,000 100% - 150% 200%

Notes:

  1. Maximum achievable 150% paid as 40% cash and 60% Service Rights.

  2. Maximum achievable 200%, issued as Performance Rights.

Shareholders are referred to the Remuneration Report for full details of Mr. Vella’s remuneration.

The Company’s remuneration policy is to ensure that executive remuneration is competitive in attracting, motivating and retaining executives of a high calibre and properly reflects the duties and responsibilities of each relevant executive. The remuneration structure used by the Company to achieve these objectives includes the combination of fixed annual remuneration and performance-related remuneration (including participation in the EIP). Additional information on the Company’s incentive programs is included in the Remuneration Report (which is contained in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report).

Mr. Vella is an executive director of the Company. Commentary to Recommendation 8.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles and Recommendations encourages ASX listed companies to establish remuneration packages that involve a balance between short-term and long-term performance objectives. In the Board’s view, the issue of these Service Rights and Performance Rights to Mr. Vella is an appropriate

Page 15

==> picture [52 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

means of achieving these objectives. The Board also considers that encouraging senior executives, including Mr. Vella, to hold securities in the Company aligns their interests with Shareholders and is essential to the ongoing development and success of the Company and its projects.

Resolution 6 – Issue of Service Rights to Mr. Vella

Background

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the grant of Service Rights to Mr. Ivan Vella, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, pursuant to the EIP and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in this Explanatory Memorandum.

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • 10.14.1 — a director of the Company

  • 10.14.2 — an associate of a director of the Company; or

  • 10.14.3 — a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The proposed issue by the Company of Service Rights to Mr. Vella falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Resolution 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the grant of the Service Rights to Mr. Vella. If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the grant of Service Rights to Mr. Vella and a cash amount of $293,518.03 will be paid to Mr. Vella.

Number of Service Rights

Each year, the Board sets key performance indicators ( KPIs ), both for the Company and individuals. The delivery of these KPIs is used to determine a short-term incentive ( STI ) score, which is used to determine the STI payment for the year, of which 40% is paid immediately by way of a cash payment and 60% is deferred and paid by way of Service Rights.

The number of Service Rights to be granted to Mr. Vella will be 55,381. The number of Service Rights was determined based on the following formula:

(Pro-rata TFR for FY24 x STI score for FY24 x 0.6) / IGO 5-day VWAP (after release of FY24 financial statements)

($776,503 x STI score for FY24 of 63.0% x 0.6) / $5.30 = 55,381

Shareholders should be aware that, as the Service Rights defer a portion of Mr. Vella’s incentive remuneration for FY24, which has already been earned and otherwise would have been paid to Mr. Vella in cash, if Resolution 6 is not passed for any reason, the Company intends to pay Mr. Vella the value of the Service Rights in full as ordinary income.

Terms of Service Rights

Page 16

==> picture [52 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

All Service Rights granted will be on terms consistent with the rules of the EIP. A summary of the key terms of the EIP is contained in Attachment C, and a full copy of the rules of the EIP is available upon request from the Company.

No consideration is payable by Mr. Vella at the time of grant of the Service Rights or upon the allocation of Ordinary Shares to which Mr. Vella may become entitled upon Service Rights vesting. Each Service Right entitles the holder to one fully paid Ordinary Share in the Company at no cost, subject to satisfaction of any restrictions as described below.

Grant Date As soon as practicable after the Meeting (if approved)
Vesting Date Tranche 1 (50% of the Service Rights) – 1 September 2025
Tranche 2 (50% of the Service Rights) – 1 September 2026
Expiry Date 15 years after the date of issue
Vesting Conditions Continuous service with the Group to the vesting date

Other Conditions

The Board has absolute discretion to adjust Service Rights vesting if, on assessment, service or behaviour criteria have not been met.

Unvested Service Rights may, in certain circumstances, vest early in accordance with the terms of the EIP, and any leaver’s policy that may apply from time to time, as approved by the Board.

The Board’s previous practice has been to only exercise its discretion where the employee leaves employment without fault on their part with the service rights vesting in line with the original vesting dates and therefore not vesting early.

However, this previous practice does not limit the Board’s discretion, including its discretion to vest unvested EIP interests early in appropriate cases.

Any dealing in Shares is subject to the constraints of Australian insider trading laws and the Company’s Dealing in Securities Standard. Mr. Vella is specifically prohibited from hedging the Service Rights during the vesting period.

The EIP contains malus and clawback provisions that give the Board discretion to reduce or reclaim unvested and vested entitlements in certain circumstances, including where Mr. Vella has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or is in breach of his obligations to the Group.

ASX Listing Rule 10.15 additional information requirements

ASX Listing Rule 10.15 requires the following additional information to be included in this Explanatory Memorandum:

  • Mr. Vella falls within the category of persons in Listing Rule 10.14.1.

  • Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained, the maximum number of Service Rights (and hence ordinary shares) that the Company may issue to Mr. Vella will be 55,381. The number of Service Rights has been determined by applying the STI score to the maximum percentage of service rights achievable, which totals $293,518.03, and dividing by the 5-day VWAP of IGO shares after release of IGO’s FY24 financial statements.

  • For Mr Vella’s current total remuneration for FY 25, please refer to the ‘Background to Resolutions 6 and 7’ section of this Explanatory Memorandum.

Page 17

==> picture [52 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

  • No consideration is payable by Mr. Vella at the time of grant of the Service Rights or upon the allocation of the Ordinary Shares to which Mr. Vella may become entitled upon exercise of the vested Service Rights.

  • Mr. Vella was awarded 400,000 Service Rights under the EIP at no cost at the time of him accepting the role of Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director. 2023 was the first year that Service Rights were awarded to Mr. Vella.

  • The Company uses Service Rights under the EIP because it aligns remuneration with long-term value creation for Shareholders as well as encouraging retention whilst not providing employees with the full benefits of share ownership (such as dividend and voting rights) unless and until the rights vest and are exercised.

  • The other Directors of the Company (being Mses. Arlaud, Bakker, Yang and Hogg and Messrs. Bastos Nossal, Spence and Osborne) are entitled to participate in the EIP, though the Company has not sought Shareholder approval for such an issue, and they have not received any securities under the EIP to date. It is the current intention of the Board that Non-executive Directors will not participate in the EIP.

  • The voting exclusion statement in relation to Resolution 6 is included in the ‘Voting Exclusion Statements’ section of the Notice of Meeting.

  • No loans will be made by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Service Rights or Ordinary Shares upon the vesting of Service Rights by Mr. Vella.

  • The Company will issue the Service Rights to Mr. Vella as soon as practicable following the Meeting and no later than 12 months after the Meeting.

  • Details of any Service Rights issued under the EIP will be published in the Company’s Annual Report relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of Service Rights under the EIP after this Resolution is approved and who are not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.

Dilution

The Service Rights to be issued to Mr. Vella will have a diluting effect on the percentage interest of existing Shareholders’ holdings. The diluting effect of these Service Rights is 0.007% of the Company’s current share capital.

The Board has formed the view that remuneration in the form of the Service Rights to be granted to Mr. Vella is reasonable given the Company’s circumstances, and Mr. Vella’s circumstances (including his responsibilities). The Board is of the opinion that the terms of issue of the Service Rights to Mr. Vella are reasonable.

Voting Exclusions

For the voting exclusions applicable to this Resolution 6, please refer to the ‘Voting Exclusion Statements’ section of the Notice of Meeting.

Recommendation

The Board (with Mr. Vella abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 6.

Page 18

Resolution 7 – Issue of Performance Rights to Mr. Vella

Background

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the grant of Performance Rights to Mr. Ivan Vella, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, as his long-term incentive for FY25 pursuant to the EIP and otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in this Explanatory Memorandum.

As described above, ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • 10.14.1 — a director of the Company

  • 10.14.2 — an associate of a director of the Company; or

  • • 10.14.3 — a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The proposed issue by the Company of Performance Rights to Mr. Vella falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Resolution 7 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the issue under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the grant of the Performance Rights to Mr. Vella.

If Shareholder approval is not obtained for Resolution 7, then the proposed grant of Performance Rights will not proceed. In that circumstance, issues may arise with the competitiveness of Mr. Vella’s total remuneration package and alignment of rewards with other senior executives in the Company. The Board would then need to consider alternative remuneration arrangements or performance hurdles, after consulting with Shareholders.

Number of Performance Rights

The number of Performance Rights to be granted to Mr. Vella will be 454,545. The value of these Performance Rights is $2,800,000, which is equal to 200% of Mr. Vella’s TFR for FY25.

The number of Performance Rights determined was calculated as follows:

TFR for FY25 x 2.0 / IGO 20-day VWAP (up to and including 30 June 2024) being $6.16.

Terms of Performance Rights

All Performance Rights granted will be on terms consistent with the rules of the EIP. A summary of the key terms of the EIP is contained in Attachment C, and a full copy of the rules of the EIP is available upon request from the Company.

No consideration is payable by Mr. Vella at the time of grant of the Performance Rights or upon the allocation of Ordinary Shares to which Mr. Vella may become entitled upon Performance Rights vesting. Each Performance Right will entitle the holder to one fully paid Ordinary Share in the Company at no cost, subject to satisfaction of the performance hurdles described below.

Page 19

==> picture [52 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

Further Terms of Performance Rights

The Performance Rights will vest and become exercisable if, over the three-year measurement period (being from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027) ( Performance Period ), the performance hurdles are achieved. Performance Rights that have not vested where the performance hurdle has not been satisfied or waived by the expiry date, will automatically lapse.

One hundred percent of the vested Performance Rights will be subject to a 12-month holding lock (being from the end of the three-year measurement period to 30 June 2028) such that those Performance Rights will not be able to be exercised during that period.

Subject to Mr. Vella satisfying the vesting and other conditions attached to the Performance Rights, each Performance Right entitles the holder to be issued, transferred or allocated one Share.

Accordingly, in respect of the Performance Rights, Shares will only be issued to Mr. Vella (and value received) upon satisfaction of the prescribed vesting conditions in the vesting period ending 30 June 2027, in which case such vested Performance Rights will be exercisable into Shares up until 15 years from the date of grant of the Performance Rights.

The number of Shares that can be issued to Mr. Vella as a result of the Performance Rights issued under Resolution 7 is a maximum only. As noted below, the actual number of Shares ultimately issued to Mr. Vella will depend on the Board’s determination as to the satisfaction of such prescribed vesting conditions and performance measures and may be less than the amount approved by Resolution 7.

Performance Hurdles

The performance hurdles that the Board has determined will apply to the Performance Rights summarised in the table below and described in further detail below. These performance hurdles reflect a set of measures that will accurately track the progress made, and value delivered to Shareholders, on a range of key long-term programs of work.

Performance Hurdle Weighting
Relative TSR Performance 50%
Absolute TSR Performance 35%
Mineral Resource Growth 15%

Relative TSR Performance

The Company’s relative TSR performance will be determined based on a percentile ranking of the Company’s TSR results relative to the TSR of two equally weighted comparator groups of companies over the same threeyear measurement period ( Relative TSR ) as follows:

  • Group 1 - IGO Lithium Comparator TSR Peer Group – a group of domestic and international companies selected as an appropriate comparator group given the Company’s strategic focus on lithium. This group will make up 25% of the weighting of the final performance outcome. The current list of the Group 1 comparator companies is set out in Attachment A. The Board has discretion to adjust the peer group from time to time in its absolute discretion.

  • Group 2 - S&P/ASX 300 Metals and Mining Index - which tracks performance of all Metals and Mining companies within the broader ASX 300 index. This group will make up 25% of the weighting of the final performance outcome.

Page 20

==> picture [52 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

At the completion of the Performance Period, Relative TSR will be assessed based on the contribution achieved from both Group 1 and Group 2 to produce the final performance outcome.

TSR measures the return received by Shareholders from holding Ordinary Shares over the Performance Period, calculated as follows:

TSR = ((B - A) + C) / A

Where:

  • A = the market value of the share at the start of the Performance Period

  • B = the market value of the share at the end of the Performance Period

  • C = the aggregate dividend amount per share paid during the Performance Period

Market value is calculated as the 20-day VWAP of the share ending on the day prior to the start or end of the Performance Period.

The vesting schedule for 50% of the LTI subject to Relative TSR testing for both Groups (IGO Lithium Comparator TSR Peer Group and S&P/ASX 300 Metals and Mining Index) is as follows:

Relative TSR performance TSR Scorecard (Level of vesting)
Less than 50th percentile 0%
Between 50th and 75th percentile 50% (at 50th percentile) plus straight-line pro-rata
between 50% and 100% (at 75th percentile)
Between 75th and 90th percentile 100% (at 75th percentile) plus straight-line pro-rata
between 100% and 150%1(at 90th percentile)
90th percentile or better 150%1

Notes:

  1. The total combined LTI vesting is capped at 100%.

Absolute TSR Performance

The Company’s absolute TSR performance will be determined based on an increase in absolute TSR over the three-year measurement period ( Absolute TSR ).

The vesting schedule for 35% of the LTI subject to Absolute TSR testing is as follows:

Absolute TSR performance TSR Scorecard (Level of vesting)
Less than 10% per annum return 0%
Between 10% and 20% per annum return 50% (at 10% per annum Absolute TSR) plus
straight-line pro-rata between 50% and 100% (at
20% per annum Absolute TSR)
Between 20% and 25% per annum 100% (at 20% per annum Absolute TSR) plus
straight-line pro-rata between 100% and 150%1(at
25% per annum Absolute TSR)
25% or better per annum 150%1

Notes:

  1. The total combined LTI vesting is capped at 100%

Page 21

==> picture [52 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

Mineral Resource Growth

The Company will assess and incentivise value creation through IGO’s exploration activity and resource expansion through the inclusion of a performance measure that calculates Mineral Resource growth at the completion of the three-year performance measurement period.

The vesting schedule for 15% of the LTI subject to Mineral Resource Growth will be assessed as below:

Mineral Resource Growth (Lithium) Level of vesting
Up to 40Mt 50% (threshold)
Between 40Mt and 80Mt Mineral Resources 50% plus straightline pro-rata between 40Mt and
80Mt
Between 80Mt and 120Mt Mineral Resources 100% plus straightline pro-rata between 80Mt and
120Mt
120Mt Mineral Resources or more 150%1

Notes:

  1. The total combined LTI vesting is capped at 100%.

Calculation of Mineral Resource Growth will be based on growth of resource tonnes either through new discovery, or resource growth at the Greenbushes Lithium Operation. Resource growth at Greenbushes will be applied proportionate to IGO’s 25% effective interest.

Where a discovery is made in nickel or copper (or other commodity), an adjustment to the measurement criteria will be made to reflect an equivalent value.

Other Conditions

The Board has the discretion to reduce the number of Performance Rights vesting, even to zero, in the event that relative TSR performance is met but absolute TSR is negative over the Performance Period.

Unvested Performance Rights may, in certain circumstances, remain on foot or vest early in accordance with the terms of the EIP, and any leaver’s policy that may apply from time to time, as approved by the Board.

The Board’s previous practice has been to only exercise its discretion:

  • where the employee leaves employment without fault on their part; and

  • so as only to preserve that number of unvested employee share scheme interests, which then get tested in the same way as if the employee had remained and only vest to the extent that the performance hurdles are met.

However, this previous practice does not limit the Board’s discretion, including its discretion to vest unvested employee share scheme interests early in appropriate cases.

Any dealing in shares is subject to the constraints of Australian insider trading laws and the Company’s Dealing in Securities Standard. Mr. Vella is specifically prohibited from hedging Performance Rights during the vesting period.

The EIP contains malus and clawback provisions that give the Board discretion to reduce or reclaim unvested and vested entitlements in certain circumstances, including where Mr. Vella has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or is in breach of his obligations to the Group.

ASX Listing Rule 10.15 additional information requirements

ASX Listing Rule 10.15 requires the following additional information to be included in this Explanatory Memorandum:

  • Mr. Vella falls within the category of persons in Listing Rule 10.14.1.

  • Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained as contemplated by Resolution 7, the maximum number of Performance Rights (and hence Ordinary Shares) that the Company may issue to Mr. Vella will be 454,545. The number of Performance Rights has been determined by multiplying the face value of Mr. Vella’s TFR for FY25 ($1,400,000) by 2 and dividing the total by the 20-day VWAP of IGO shares up to and including 30 June 2024.

  • For Mr Vella’s current total remuneration for FY25, please refer to the ‘Background to Resolutions 6 and 7’ section of the Explanatory Memorandum.

  • No consideration is payable by Mr. Vella at the time of grant of the Performance Rights or upon the allocation of the Ordinary Shares to which Mr. Vella may become entitled upon exercise of the vested Performance Rights.

  • Mr. Vella was awarded 111,657 Performance Rights under the EIP at no cost as part of his remuneration in 2023. 2023 was the first year that Performance Rights were awarded to Mr. Vella. The Company uses Performance Rights under the EIP because it aligns remuneration with long-term value creation for Shareholders as well as encouraging retention whilst not providing employees with the full benefits of share ownership (such as dividend and voting rights) unless and until the rights vest and are exercised.

  • The other Directors of the Company (being Mses. Arlaud, Bakker, Yang and Hogg and Messrs. Bastos, Nossal, Spence and Osborne) are entitled to participate in the EIP, though the Company has not sought Shareholder approval for such an issue, and they have not received any securities under the EIP to date. It is the current intention of the Board that Non-executive Directors will not participate in the EIP.

  • The voting exclusion statement in relation to Resolution 7 is included in the ‘Voting Exclusion Statements’ section of the Notice of Meeting.

  • No loans will be made by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Performance Rights or Ordinary Shares upon the vesting of Performance Rights by Mr. Vella.

  • The Company will issue the Performance Rights to Mr. Vella as soon as practicable following the Meeting and no later than 12 months after the Meeting.

  • Details of any Performance Rights issued under the EIP will be published in the Company’s Annual Report relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of Performance Rights under the EIP after this Resolution is approved and who are not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.

Dilution

The Performance Rights to be issued to Mr. Vella will have a diluting effect on the percentage interest of existing Shareholders’ holdings. The diluting effect of these Performance Rights is 0.06% of the Company’s current share capital.

The Board has formed the view that remuneration in the form of the Performance Rights to be granted to Mr. Vella is reasonable given the Company’s circumstances, and Mr. Vella’s circumstances (including his

responsibilities). The Board is of the opinion that the terms of issue of the Performance Rights to Mr. Vella are reasonable.

Voting Exclusions

For the voting exclusions applicable to this Resolution 7, please refer to the ‘Voting Exclusion Statements’ section of the Notice of Meeting.

Recommendation

The Board (with Mr. Vella abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 7.

Resolution 8 – Approval of Increase in Directors’ Fee Pool

Background

Rule 8.3(a) of the Constitution requires that the maximum aggregate amount to be paid to all Non-executive Directors for their services as Non-executive Directors (excluding salaries of executive Directors) in any financial year must not exceed the amount fixed by the Shareholders in general meeting. ASX Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of directors’ fees payable to all of its non-executive directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities.

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval, for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.17 and for all other purposes, for the Company to be authorised to increase the maximum aggregate amount of fees available to be paid to Non-executive Directors by $250,000 from $1,750,000 per annum to $2,000,000 per annum.

If Resolution 8 is passed, the maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to Non-executive Directors of the Company will increase by $250,000 from $1,750,000 per annum to $2,000,000 per annum. If Resolution 8 is not passed, the maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to Non-executive Directors of the Company will remain at $1,750,000 per annum. This may inhibit the ability of the Company to remunerate, attract and retain appropriately skilled Non-executive Directors.

The Board considers that it is reasonable and appropriate at this time to seek an increase in the remuneration pool for Non-executive Directors for the following reasons:

  • to provide sufficient flexibility within the maximum aggregate amount that may be paid to all Non-executive Directors for their services as Non-executive Directors to appropriately remunerate the Non-executive Directors, noting that the Board currently comprises 8 Non-executive Directors (the Company’s Constitution allows up to 10 directors) and the maximum aggregate fees payable to Non-executive Directors was last increased in 2022, at which time the Company had 6 Non-executive Directors;

  • Non-executive Directors’ fees have not been increased for FY25, however they may in the future need to be increased to retain Directors (noting the need for orderly succession planning);

  • to attract new Directors of a calibre required to effectively guide and monitor the business of the Company;

  • the Directors may from time to time appoint additional Non-executive Directors to ensure the Board has the appropriate skills and experience;

  • corporate governance best practice is such that Non-executive Directors are remunerated via fixed cashbased fees and not through equity based performance schemes; and

Page 24

==> picture [52 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

  • to remunerate Directors appropriately for the expectations placed upon them both by the Company and the regulatory environment in which it operates.

No securities have been issued to any Non-executive Director under ASX Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 with shareholder approval within the past three years.

Effective 1 July 2024, the Company’s Non-executive Chair is entitled to Directors’ fees of $290,000 per annum, Non-executive Directors are entitled to directors’ fees of $160,000 per annum and Committee Chair’s fees of $30,000 per annum (or $35,000 for the Audit & Risk Committee Chair).

If Resolution 8 is passed, based on the current Board composition, it is not intended to fully utilise the increased aggregate fees available to be paid to Non-Executive Directors, however the increase would provide some flexibility for future appointments.

Voting Exclusions

For the voting exclusions applicable to this Resolution 8, please refer to the ‘Voting Exclusion Statements’ section of the Notice of Meeting.

Recommendation

As the Company’s Non-executive Directors have an interest in Resolution 8, the Non-Executive Directors do not consider it appropriate to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 8. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mr. Ivan Vella, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 8.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY SHAREHOLDERS

Shareholders should read this Explanatory Memorandum carefully and in full before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions. A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice of Meeting. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a proxy to vote in their place.

ATTACHMENT C – SUMMARY OF EIP KEY TERMS AND KEY POLICY SETTINGS

Eligibility

The Board has the discretion to determine who is eligible to participate in any offer under the EIP.

Vesting conditions

The vesting of any securities issued under the EIP, excluding Exempt Share Awards (as defined in the rules of the EIP), may be conditional on the satisfaction of performance and/or service conditions as determined by the Board and advised to the employee in the individual’s offer documents.

Exercise of securities

A participant will be entitled to exercise vested securities issued under the EIP in accordance with the terms contained in the invitation to the individual. The terms of the invitation may provide that EIP securities will be automatically exercised on vesting.

Price

Securities issued under the EIP may be issued at no cost to the participants. Options may be subject to payment of an exercise price by the participant which is determined by the Board and advised to the participant in the individual’s offer documents.

Lapse/forfeiture

Securities issued under the EIP will lapse or be forfeited in accordance with the terms of any individual EIP award. This may include, for example, lapse or forfeiture due to failure to meet conditions, the occurrence of events such as cessation of employment or a change of control, or the expiry of EIP securities.

Board may elect to settle in cash

If the Board determines that it is not appropriate for tax, legal, regulatory or compliance reasons to issue or transfer Shares upon satisfaction of its obligations under the EIP, the Company may make a cash payment to the participant in accordance with the terms of the EIP for equivalent value.

Waiving the restricted period

The Board may waive or shorten the restriction period applicable to securities issued under the EIP, as contained in the offer to the participant.

Change of control

On the occurrence of a change of control, the Board will determine (and in anticipation of a change of control the Board may determine), in its sole and absolute discretion, the manner in which vested and unvested securities issued under the EIP shall be dealt with which may include pro-rata vesting.

Cessation of employment

The Board, in its discretion, may determine that some or all unvested securities lapse, are forfeited, vest (immediately or subject to conditions), are only exercisable for a prescribed period and will otherwise lapse, and/or are no longer subject to some of the restrictions that previously applied, as a result of a participant ceasing to be an employee of the Group.

Malus and clawback

Page 29

==> picture [52 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

The EIP contains discretions that allow the Board to reduce or clawback unvested and vested entitlements in certain circumstances, including in the case of fraud, dishonesty, gross misconduct, bringing the Group into disrepute, breach of obligations to the Group, material financial misstatements, where warranted due to risk behaviour, or other circumstances under law or Group policy. The EIP also allows the Board to reduce unvested awards where vesting is not justified or supportable for performance or other specified reasons.

No dealing or hedging

Dealing restrictions apply to securities issued under the EIP in accordance with the rules of the EIP and the Company’s Dealing in Securities Standard. Participants are prohibited from hedging or otherwise protecting the value of unvested securities issued under the EIP.

Rights attaching to Shares

Shares issued under the plan will rank equally for voting, dividends and other entitlements, be subject to any restrictions imposed under the rules and otherwise rank equally with the existing Shares on issue at the time of allotment.

Company may issue or acquire shares

The Company may, in its discretion, either issue new shares or acquire shares already on issue, or a combination of both, to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the EIP.

Adjustments

Prior to the allocation of shares to a participant upon vesting or exercise of securities issued under the EIP, the Board may make any adjustment it considers appropriate to the terms of securities in order to minimise or eliminate any material advantage or disadvantage to a participant resulting from a corporate action such as a capital raising or capital reconstruction.

Limits on securities issued

Securities will not be granted under the EIP if it is an issue of securities that combined with all other employee share scheme interests outstanding would exceed 15% of the Company’s then outstanding issued capital.

Continued operation of the plan

The plan may be suspended, terminated or amended at any time by the Board, subject to any resolution of the Company required by the ASX Listing Rules.
