4 Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report
In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.
In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board except the Managing Director if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more (Strike) at two consecutive annual general meetings.
Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
The Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2025 annual general meeting. Please note if the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting and if a second Strike is received at the 2027 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
The Chair will allow reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about or comment on the Remuneration Report.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention, even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of members of the Key Management Personnel.
5 Resolution 2 – Re-Election of Director – Mr Anastasios Arima
5.1 General

Resolutions 3 and 4 are ordinary resolutions.

6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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 its shareholders in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
(b) give the benefit within 15 months of 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 recipients of the Executive Director Options are all Executive Directors, and therefore are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.
As all of the Directors are proposed to be issued with Options, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Executive Director Options. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of the Executive Director Options to the Executive Directors is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
6.3 Section 200B of the Corporations Act
In accordance with section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with their retirement from a managerial or executive office, or position of employment, in the Company or a related body corporate if:
(a) it is approved by shareholders under section 200E of the Corporations Act; or
(b) an exemption applies (for example, where the benefit together with other benefits does not exceed the payment limits set out in the Corporations Act).
Section 200B of the Corporations Act applies where the benefit is given to, among other persons, a person whose details were included in the Director's Report for the previous financial
15
year. The remuneration details of each recipient of the Executive Director Options were included in the FY2025 Director's Report.
The term "benefit" is open to a potentially wide interpretation and may include automatic, or accelerated, vesting of share-based payments for a person or the exercise of discretion to allow a person to maintain a benefit they would not otherwise be entitled to retain, on, or as a result of, retirement from their position of employment in a company.
The benefits for which approval is sought under Resolutions 3 and 4 include benefits that result from the Board exercising the discretions conferred under the terms and conditions of the Executive Director Options. In particular, the Board will have the discretion to:
(a) waive the vesting conditions which apply to the Executive Director Options if the relevant Executive Director ceases to be an employee or be engaged by the Company;
(b) accelerate vesting of the Executive Director Options upon a Change of Control Event occurring (as defined in the terms and conditions of the Executive Director Options contained in Schedule 2); or
(c) change the terms and conditions of the Executive Director Options, subject to any further Shareholder approval which may be required.
One of the benefits for which approval is sought under Resolutions 3 and 4 is the potential issue or transfer of Shares to the Executive Directors upon conversion of the Executive Director Options as a result of the Board exercising a discretion to vest, accelerate the vesting or retain the Executive Director Options as a termination benefit.
Pursuant to Resolutions 3 and 4, the Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval under section 200B of the Corporations Act in connection with the potential benefits to be given to the Executive Directors upon exercise of the Board's discretion.
6.4 Specific information required by section 200E of the Corporations Act
The following information in relation to Resolutions 3 and 4 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of section 200E of the Corporations Act:
(a) the amount or value of the benefit relating to the Executive Director Options pursuant to Resolutions 3 and 4 to be held by the Executive Directors (and/or their respective nominee(s)) which may arise in connection with their retirement from a managerial or executive office cannot presently be ascertained (please refer to Section 6.5(e) for an estimate of the current value of the Executive Director Options (if they were on issue)). However, matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to affect the calculation of that amount or value include:
(i) the number of Executive Director Options held prior to ceasing employment;
(ii) the outstanding conditions (if any) of vesting of the Executive Director Options;
(iii) the circumstances of, or reasons for, ceasing employment or engagement with the Company;
(iv) the length of service with the Company and performance over that period of time;
(v) the market price of the Shares on ASX at the relevant time when the amount or value of the Executive Director Options is determined;
(vi) any changes in law; and
(vii) the risk-free rate of return in Australia and the estimated volatility of the Shares on ASX at the relevant time; and
(b) the Company intends to calculate the value of the benefit relating to the Executive Director Options at the relevant time based on the above factors.
6.5 Specific information required by section 219 of the Corporations Act
The following information in relation to Resolutions 3 and 4 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of section 219 of the Corporations Act:
(a) the financial benefits relating to the issue of the Executive Director Options are being provided to:
(i) Mr Andrew Lawson (and/or his nominee(s)), Managing Director under Resolution 3; and
(ii) Mr Andrew Boyd (and/or his nominee(s)), Executive Director under Resolution 4;
(b) the maximum number of Executive Director Options that will be issued to the Executive Directors are as follows:
| Executive Director | No. of Executive Director Options |
|---|---|
| Andrew Lawson | 9,000,000 |
| Andrew Boyd | 7,500,000 |
(c) the Executive Director Options are being issued to the Executive Directors as part of their compensation arrangements. The Company considers the issuance of Executive Director Options to be a cost-effective way to provide compensation benefits to Executive Directors, and to align the Executive Directors' interests with the interest of Shareholders, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Executive Directors. The Executive Director Options will be granted to the Executive Directors (and/or their nominee(s)) on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2;
(d) the number of Executive Director Options are considered appropriate based on the objectives of limiting the dilution of existing Shareholders upon the vesting and exercise of Executive Director Options whilst also appropriately remunerating the Executive Directors and aligning their interests with Shareholders;
(e) the Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Executive Director Options have an estimated value of $0.023 each and Tranche 3 Executive Director Options have an estimated value of $0.0193 each based on an underlying Share price of $0.023, being the closing price of a Share on 15 April 2026. As a result, the total estimated value of the Executive Director Options to be issued to the Executive Directors is as follows:
| Executive Director | Estimated Value of Executive Director Options (A$) |
|---|---|
| Andrew Lawson | $195,900 |
| Andrew Boyd | $163,250 |
(f) the current remuneration package of each of the Executive Directors is as follows:
18
| Executive Director | Salary / Fees 2025 financial year (A$) | Share Based Payments 2025 financial year (A$) | Salary / Fees per annum (A$) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Andrew Lawson | 184,281 | 22,697 | 300,000 |
| Andrew Boyd | 89,643 | 19,232 | 150,000 |
Note:
1. Inclusive of superannuation payable (if any).
(g) as at the date of the Notice, the Executive Directors' interests in the Equity Securities of the Company are as follows:
| Executive Director | Shares | Options | Performance Shares |
|---|---|---|---|
| Andrew Lawson | 1,666,667 | - | - |
| Andrew Boyd | 37,778,649 1 | - | - |
Note:
1. 36,945,316 Shares are subject to trading restriction of 24 months from the official quotation of the Company's securities.
(h) there may be a perceived cost to the Company arising from the issue of the Executive Director Options (and the Shares upon their exercise). However, the benefits of incentivizing the Executive Directors to align each of their respective interests with Shareholders should also be considered;
(i) if all the Executive Director Options subject to Resolutions 3 and 4 are exercised into Shares a total of 16,500,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 419,275,200 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Notice) to 435,775,200 (assuming no further issues of Shares and no convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 3.94%;
(j) the historical quoted price information for Shares on ASX for the last twelve months from the date of the Notice is as follows:
| Shares | Price | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | $0.049 | 13.10.2025, 14.10.2025, 15.10.2025 and 27.10.2025 |
| Lowest | $0.021 | 18.03.2026 |
(k) Mr Andrew Lawson has an interest in Resolution 3 and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation. The Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies and therefore decline to make a recommendation;
(l) Mr Andrew Boyd has an interest in Resolution 4 and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation. The Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies and therefore decline to make a recommendation;
(m) a voting exclusion statement and a voting prohibition statement is included in the Notice for Resolutions 3 and 4; and
(n) other than the information above and otherwise detailed in the Notice, the Company believes there is no there is no other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to pass Resolutions 3 and 4.
6.6 Listing Rule 10.14
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 plan without the approval of shareholders:
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 Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders.
The issue of Executive Director Options to the Executive Directors (and/or their respective nominees) falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 above, as each recipient of the Executive Director Options is a Director, and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
Resolutions 3 and 4 seek the required Shareholder approval for the grant of the Executive Director Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14. The Resolutions are not inter-conditional.
If either or both Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the grant of the Executive Director Options to the Executive Directors (and/or their respective nominees) in respect of whom the relevant Resolution has been passed. Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 will not be required as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14 (Exception 14 under Listing Rule 7.2). Accordingly, if Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed, the grant of the Executive Director Options (and Shares issued on exercise of the Executive Director Options) will not reduce the Company's 15% Placement Capacity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If any of Resolutions 3 to 4 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the grant of Executive Director Options to an Executive Director in respect of whom the relevant Resolution was not passed, and may consider alternative forms of remuneration with the affected Executive Director(s).
6.7 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 3 and 4:
(a) the Executive Director Options will be granted to the Executive Directors (and/or their respective nominees) individually as set out in Section 6.1;
(b) the recipients of the Executive Director Options fall within category 10.14.1 of the Listing Rules as they are each a Director, and therefore a related party of the Company. In addition, any party that an Executive Director nominates to receive Executive Director Options would be expected to fall within the category in Listing Rule 10.14.2 as an associate of such Executive Director;
(c) the maximum number of Executive Director Options to be issued to the Executive Directors (and/or their respective nominees) is detailed in Section 6.1;
(d) the details of each Executive Director's remuneration is detailed in Section 6.5(f);
19
(e) the Executive Directors were previously issued the following Equity Securities under the Plan for nil consideration in order to remunerate and incentivise the future performance or service of the relevant individual and to align their interests with Shareholders:
(i) Mr Andrew Lawson was issued 8,223,881 director and management performance options; and
(ii) Mr Andrew Boyd was issued 6,968,138 director and management performance options,
which have, as at the date of this Notice, lapsed. Please refer to the Company's Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting dated 21 October 2024 for further information. Also refer to Section 6.5(g) for further information regarding the Executive Directors' interests in the Equity Securities of the Company as at the date of this Notice;
(f) the Executive Director Options are options with a nil exercise price to acquire a Share subject to the satisfaction of the relevant vesting conditions. A summary of the material terms of the Executive Director Options is detailed in Schedule 2. Refer to Sections 6.5(c) to 6.5(e) for an explanation as to why the Executive Director Options are being issued to the Executive Directors and the value attributed to the Executive Director Options;
(g) the Company intends to grant the Executive Director Options to the Executive Directors (and/or their respective nominees) within one month after the date of the Meeting, and by no later than three years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);
(h) no funds will be raised by the issue, exercise or conversion of the Executive Director Options, as they will be granted for nil cash consideration and no exercise price is payable in order to convert them into Shares following their vesting. There may be a perceived cost to the Company arising from the issue of Executive Director Options (and the Shares upon their vesting) for nil cash consideration. However, the benefits of incentivising the Executive Directors to achieve the vesting conditions (in relation to the Executive Director Options) and aligning their interests with Shareholders should also be considered;
(i) a summary of the material terms of the Plan is detailed in Schedule 4;
(j) the Company will not make any loans to the Executive Directors in relation to the acquisition of the Executive Director Options;
(k) details of any Equity Securities issued under the Plan 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 Listing Rule 10.14;
(l) any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after Resolutions 3 and 4 are approved and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule; and
(m) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolutions 3 and 4.
6.8 Listing Rule 10.19
Listing Rule 10.19 provides that without approval of shareholders, an entity must ensure that no officer of the entity or any of its Child Entities (as defined in the Listing Rules) will be, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the termination benefits that may become payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the entity as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules (5% Threshold). For the purpose of the Listing Rules, termination benefits include payments, property and advantages that are receivable on termination of engagement with the Company.
Shareholder approval is being sought of the benefits that may be given to the Executive Directors (and/or their respective nominee(s)) by virtue of the exercise of the Executive Director Options as a result of the automatic vesting of the Executive Director Options upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event or the waiving of the vesting conditions upon termination or cessation of Directors' employment with the Company.
Depending upon the value of the termination benefits associated with the Executive Director Options (see Sections 6.4 and 6.5(e)), based on factors including the circumstances of, or reasons for, the Executive Director ceasing employment or engagement with the Company and the conversion of the Executive Director Options as a result of the automatic vesting of the Executive Director Options upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event or the waiving of the vesting conditions upon termination or cessation of the Executive Director's employment with the Company and the equity interests of the Company at the time such benefits may crystallise, the value of the termination benefits the subject of Resolutions 3 and 4 may exceed the 5% Threshold. Shareholder approval is being sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.19 in order to give the Company flexibility, in case the value of the termination benefits (whether alone or in aggregate with other termination benefits) exceeds the 5% Threshold.
If Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed, the Company will be able to provide termination benefits associated with the Executive Director Options to the Executive Directors (as applicable) (and/or their respective nominee(s)) which may exceed the 5% Threshold to the Executive Directors (as applicable) in connection with the Executive Directors (as applicable) ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in the Company.
If Resolutions 3 and 4 are not passed, the Company will not be able to provide termination benefits associated with the Executive Director Options to the Executive Directors (as applicable) (and/or their respective nominee(s)) where those termination benefits along with termination benefits payable to all officers together exceed the 5% Threshold.
6.9 Board Recommendation
The Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies and therefore decline to make a recommendation with respect to Resolutions 3 and 4.

Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive) are ordinary resolutions.
The Chair intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive).

7.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is detailed in Section 6.2.
The recipients of the Non-Executive Director Options are all Non-Executive Directors, and therefore are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.
As all of the Directors are proposed to be issued with Options, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the
Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Non-Executive Director Options. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of the Non-Executive Director Options to the Non-Executive Directors is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
7.3 Section 200B of the Corporations Act
A summary of section 200B of the Corporations Act is detailed in Section 6.3.
Section 200B of the Corporations Act applies where the benefit is given to, among other persons, a person whose details were included in the Director's Report for the previous financial year. The remuneration details of each recipient of the Non-Executive Director Options were included in the FY2025 Director's Report.
The benefits for which approval is sought under Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive) include benefits that result from the Board exercising the discretions conferred under the terms and conditions of the Non-Executive Director Options. In particular, the Board will have the discretion to:
(a) waive the vesting conditions which apply to the Non-Executive Director Options if the relevant Non-Executive Director ceases to be an employee or be engaged by the Company;
(b) accelerate vesting of the Non-Executive Director Options upon a Change of Control Event occurring (as defined in the terms and conditions of the Non-Executive Director Options contained in Schedule 3); or
(c) change the terms and conditions of the Non-Executive Director Options, subject to any further Shareholder approval which may be required.
One of the benefits for which approval is sought under Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive) is the potential issue or transfer of Shares to the Non-Executive Directors upon conversion of the Non-Executive Director Options as a result of the Board exercising a discretion to vest, accelerate the vesting or retain the Non-Executive Director Options as a termination benefit.
Pursuant to Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive), the Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval under section 200B of the Corporations Act in connection with the potential benefits to be given to the Non-Executive Directors upon exercise of the Board's discretion.

| Non-Executive Director | Shares | Options | Performance Shares |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simon Taylor^{1} | 22,280,000 | - | - |

Note:
1. 15,880,000 Shares are subject to trading restriction of 24 months from the official quotation of the Company's securities.
(h) there may be a perceived cost to the Company arising from the issue of the Non-Executive Director Options (and the Shares upon their exercise). However, the benefits of incentivizing the Non-Executive Directors to align each of their respective interests with Shareholders should also be considered;
(i) if all the Non-Executive Director Options subject to Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive) are exercised into Shares a total of 11,200,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 419,275,200 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Notice) to 430,475,200 (assuming no further issues of Shares and no convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 2.67%;
(j) the historical quoted price information for Shares on ASX for the last twelve months from the date of the Notice is detailed in Section 6.5(j);
(k) Mr Simon Taylor has an interest in Resolution 5 and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation. The Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies and therefore decline to make a recommendation;
(l) Mr Anastasios Arima has an interest in Resolution 6 and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation. The Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies and therefore decline to make a recommendation;
(m) Mr Dominic Allen has an interest in Resolution 7 and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation. The Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies and therefore decline to make a recommendation;
(n) a voting exclusion statement and a voting prohibition statement is included in the Notice for Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive); and
(o) other than the information above and otherwise detailed in the Notice, the Company believes there is no there is no other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to pass Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive).
7.6 Listing Rule 10.14
A summary of Listing Rule 10.14 is detailed in Section 6.8.
The issue of Non-Executive Director Options to the Non-Executive Directors (and/or their respective nominees) falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 above, as each recipient of the Non-Executive Director Options is a Director, and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive) seek the required Shareholder approval for the grant of the Non-Executive Director Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14. The Resolutions are not inter-conditional.
If any or all of Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the grant of the Non-Executive Director Options to the Non-Executive Directors (and/or their respective nominees) in respect of whom the relevant Resolution has been passed. Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 will not be required as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14 (Exception 14 under Listing Rule 7.2). Accordingly, if Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive) are passed, the grant of the Non-Executive Director Options (and Shares issued on exercise of the Non-Executive Director Options) will not reduce the Company's 15% Placement Capacity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
If any of Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the grant of Non-Executive Director Options to a Non-Executive Director in respect of whom the relevant Resolution was not passed, and may consider alternative forms of remuneration with the affected Non-Executive Director(s).
7.7 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive):
(a) the Non-Executive Director Options will be granted to the Non-Executive Directors (and/or their respective nominees) individually as set out in Section 7.1;
(b) the recipients of the Non-Executive Director Options fall within category 10.14.1 of the Listing Rules as they are each a Director, and therefore a related party of the Company. In addition, any party that a Non-Executive Director nominates to receive Non-Executive Director Options would be expected to fall within the category in Listing Rule 10.14.2 as an associate of such Non-Executive Director;
(c) the maximum number of Non-Executive Director Options to be issued to the Non-Executive Directors (and/or their respective nominees) is detailed in Section 7.1;
(d) the details of each Non-Executive Director's remuneration is detailed in Section 7.5(f);
26
(e) the Non-Executive Directors were previously issued the following Equity Securities under the Plan for nil consideration in order to remunerate and incentivise the future performance or service of the relevant individual and to align their respective interests with Shareholders:
(i) Mr Simon Taylor was issued 4,924,480 director and management performance options;
(ii) Mr Anastasios Arima was issued 2,462,240 director and management performance options; and
(iii) Mr Dominic Allen was issued 2,462,240 director and management performance options,
which have, as at the date of this Notice, lapsed. Please refer to the Company's Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting dated 21 October 2024 for further information. Also refer to Section 7.5(g) for further information regarding the Non-Executive Directors' interests in the Equity Securities of the Company as at the date of this Notice;
(f) the Non-Executive Director Options are options with a nil exercise price to acquire a Share subject to the satisfaction of the relevant vesting conditions. A summary of the material terms of the Non-Executive Director Options is detailed in Schedule 3. Refer to Sections 7.5(c) to 7.5(e) for an explanation as to why the Non-Executive Director Options are being issued to the Non-Executive Directors and the value attributed to the Non-Executive Director Options;
(g) the Company intends to grant the Non-Executive Director Options to the Non-Executive Directors (and/or their respective nominees) within one month after the date of the Meeting, and by no later than three years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);
(h) no funds will be raised by the issue, exercise or conversion of the Non-Executive Director Options, as they will be granted for nil cash consideration and no exercise price is payable in order to convert them into Shares following their vesting. There may be a perceived cost to the Company arising from the issue of Non-Executive Director Options (and the Shares upon their vesting) for nil cash consideration. However, the benefits of incentivising the Non-Executive Directors to achieve the vesting conditions (in relation to the Non-Executive Director Options) and aligning their interests with Shareholders should also be considered;
(i) a summary of the material terms of the Plan is detailed in Schedule 4;
(j) the Company will not make any loans to the Non-Executive Directors in relation to the acquisition of the Non-Executive Director Options;
(k) details of any Equity Securities issued under the Plan 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 Listing Rule 10.14;
(l) any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive) are approved and who were not named in the Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule; and
(m) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive).
7.8 Listing Rule 10.19
A summary of Listing Rule 10.19 is detailed in Section 6.8.
Shareholder approval is being sought of the benefits that may be given to the Non-Executive Directors (and/or their respective nominee(s)) by virtue of the exercise of the Non-Executive
Director Options as a result of the automatic vesting of the Non-Executive Director Options upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event or the waiving of the vesting conditions upon termination or cessation of Directors' employment with the Company.
Depending upon the value of the termination benefits associated with the Non-Executive Director Options (see Sections 7.4 and 7.5(e)), based on factors including the circumstances of, or reasons for, the Non-Executive Director ceasing employment or engagement with the Company and the conversion of the Non-Executive Director Options as a result of the automatic vesting of the Non-Executive Director Options upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event or the waiving of the vesting conditions upon termination or cessation of the Non-Executive Director's employment with the Company and the equity interests of the Company at the time such benefits may crystallise, the value of the termination benefits the subject of Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive) may exceed the 5% Threshold. Shareholder approval is being sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.19 in order to give the Company flexibility, in case the value of the termination benefits (whether alone or in aggregate with other termination benefits) exceeds the 5% Threshold.
If Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive) are passed, the Company will be able to provide termination benefits associated with the Non-Executive Director Options to the Non-Executive Directors (as applicable) (and/or their respective nominee(s)) which may exceed the 5% Threshold to the Non-Executive Directors (as applicable) in connection with the Non-Executive Directors (as applicable) ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in the Company.
If Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to provide termination benefits associated with the Non-Executive Director Options to the Non-Executive Directors (as applicable) (and/or their respective nominee(s)) where those termination benefits along with termination benefits payable to all officers together exceed the 5% Threshold.
7.9 Board Recommendation
The Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies and therefore decline to make a recommendation with respect to Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive).
8 Resolution 8 – Section 195 Approval
8.1 General
In accordance with section 195 of the Corporations Act, a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a 'material personal interest' are being considered.
Each of the Directors has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3 to 7 (inclusive).
In the absence of Resolution 8, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at directors meetings necessary to carry out the terms of Resolutions 3 to 7 (inclusive).
The Directors accordingly exercise their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue to Shareholders to resolve.
Resolution 8 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chair intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 8.
8.2 Board Recommendation
The Board considers that, given the subject matter of Resolution 8, it would be inappropriate for the Board to make a recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 8.
29
9 Resolution 9 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
9.1 General
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, 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 (15% Placement Capacity).
Listing Rule 7.1A enables an Eligible Entity (defined below) 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. As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an "Eligible Entity" for these purposes as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $9.6 million (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 15 April 2026).
Pursuant to Resolution 9, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The 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 9.2(c)).
If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting, in addition to the Company's 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Facility to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 9 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).
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 9.
9.2 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.
(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 one quoted class of Equity Securities, being Shares.
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
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
A is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:
(A) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
(B) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
(I) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
(II) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
(C) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
(I) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
(II) the agreement was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
(D) plus the number of any other Shares issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
(E) plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the relevant period; and
(F) less the number of Shares cancelled in the relevant period.
*Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% Placement Capacity.
D is 10%.
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under 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 the Notice, the Company has on issue 419,275,200 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:
(i) 62,891,280 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
(ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 9, 41,927,520 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 9.2(c)).
(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated 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; or
(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.
(f) 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) is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;
(ii) the date of the entity's next annual general meeting; or
(iii) the date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
(the 10% Placement Period).
9.3 Effect of Resolution
The effect of Resolution 9 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.
9.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 9:
(a) 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; or
(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;
(b) if Resolution 9 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. There is a risk that:
31
(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;
(c) 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 the Notice;
(d) 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;
| Variable 'A' in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 | Dilution | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0145 | 0.029 | 0.0435 | ||
| 50% decrease in Issue Price | Issue Price | 50% increase in Issue Price | ||
| Current Variable A | 10% Voting Dilution | 41,927,520 Shares | 41,927,520 Shares | 41,927,520 Shares |
| 419,275,200 Shares | Funds raised | $607,949 | $1,215,898 | $1,823,847 |
| 50% increase in current Variable A | 10% Voting Dilution | 62,891,280 Shares | 62,891,280 Shares | 62,891,280 Shares |
| 628,912,600 Shares | Funds raised | $911,924 | $1,823,847 | $2,735,771 |
| 100% increase in current Variable A | 10% Voting Dilution | 83,855,040 Shares | 83,855,040 Shares | 83,855,040 Shares |
| 838,550,400 Shares | Funds raised | $1,215,898 | $2,431,796 | $3,647,694 |
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
(i) there are 419,275,200 Shares on issue;
(ii) the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility;
(iii) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. No Options (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Facility) or performance rights are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;
(iv) 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%;
(v) 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;
(vi) 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;
(vii) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares; and
(viii) the issue price is $0.029, being the closing price of Shares on ASX on 20 April 2026.
(e) the Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 9 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid on the earlier 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 entity's next annual general meeting; or
(iii) the time and date that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking);
(f) the Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards the expansion of the Company's business and/or general working capital;
(g) the Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4 upon issue of any Equity Securities;
(h) 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 subscribers 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 purpose of the issue;
(ii) 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;
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
(iv) the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable);
(i) the subscribers under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company;
(j) the Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 29 May 2025, which has now expired.
33
In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2;
(k) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 9; and
(l) at the date of the Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of the Equity Securities and 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. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

13 Discretion of the Board
The Board may decide to allow a Participant to:
(a) retain and exercise any or all of their Options, whether or not the Vesting Conditions have been satisfied during the Performance Period, and whether or not the Options would otherwise have lapsed, provided that no Options will be capable of exercise later than the relevant expiry date for those Options; and
(b) retain any Performance Rights regardless of:
(i) the expiry of the Performance Period to which those Performance Rights relate; or
(ii) any failure by the Participant to satisfy in part or in full the Vesting Conditions specified by the Board in respect of those Performance Rights,
in which case, the Board may:
(c) determine that any or all of those retained Performance Rights shall vest and the corresponding Shares shall be provided to the Participant; or
(d) determine a new Performance Period or Vesting Conditions (as applicable) for those retained Performance Rights and notify the Participant of the determination as soon as practicable.
14 Change of control
(a) The terms of any Performance Rights or Options may provide that where a Change of Control Event has occurred or, in the opinion of the Board, there is a state of affairs that will or is likely to result in a Change of Control Event occurring:
(i) all granted Performance Rights which have not yet vested or lapsed shall automatically and immediately vest, regardless of whether any Vesting Conditions have been satisfied;
(ii) all Options will automatically and immediately vest (to the extent they have not already vested) and shall be deemed to have been automatically exercised (utilising the Cashless Exercise Facility (if permitted by the terms and conditions of the Options), to the extent such Options have an Exercise Price), regardless of whether the Vesting Conditions have been satisfied, notwithstanding the Notice of Exercise not having been issued (except that there will be no automatic exercise of Options which have an Exercise Price which is greater than the amount which the Cashless Exercise Facility can be used for, as specified in the terms and conditions of the Options, but instead those Options will automatically lapse on the earliest to occur of the expiry date for those Options, when they would otherwise lapse in accordance with the Employee Incentive Plan or 11:59pm (in Perth, Western Australia) on the second business day after the Change of Control Event occurs); or
(iii) if the Board has procured an offer for all holders of Options on like terms (having regard to the nature and value of the Options) to the terms proposed under the Change of Control Event and the Board has specified (in its absolute discretion) a period during which the holders of Options may elect to accept the offer and, if the Participant has not so elected at the end of that offer period, the Options, if not exercised within 10 days of the end of that offer period, shall expire.
53
(b) The terms and conditions of specific Options or Performance Rights may adopt varied terms arising from a Change of Control.
15 Employee Loan
The Board may, as part of any EIP Offer, in its absolute discretion, offer to a Participant a limited recourse, interest free loan to be made by the Company to the Participant for an amount equal to the issue price multiplied by the number of Shares offered to the Participant pursuant to the relevant EIP Offer.
16 Restriction Period and Holding Lock
(a) Allocated Shares may be offered on terms that restrict the Participant from dealing with or transferring the relevant Allocated Share during a restriction period.
(b) In addition, the Board may at any time request that the Company's share registry impose a holding lock on any Employee Incentives issued pursuant to the Employee Incentive Plan where the Board determines or reasonably believes (in its absolute discretion) that a Participant (or a Former Participant) has or may breach the Employee Incentive Plan rules.
17 Transfer of Options or Performance Rights
Options and Performance Rights terms may impose partial or complete restrictions on them being assigned, transferred or encumbered with a security interest in or over them.
18 Buy-Back
Subject to any applicable laws and subject to the Board's sole and absolute discretion, Allocated Share(s) will be subject to the Company's right to buy-back and may, during a prescribed period, be bought-back by the Company where paragraph 12 applies.
19 Contravention of Employee Incentive Plan rules
The Board may at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, take any action it deems reasonably necessary in relation to any Employee Incentives if it determines or reasonably believes a Participant has breached the Employee Incentive Plan or the terms of issue of any Employee Incentives, including but not limited to, signing transfer forms in relation to Employee Incentives, signing all documents and doing all acts necessary to effect a buy-back placing, a holding lock on Employee Incentives, accounting for the proceeds of the sale of forfeited Employee Incentives, refusing to transfer any Employee Incentives and/or refusing to issue any Shares.
20 Amendments
(a) The Board may at any time amend the Employee Incentive Plan rules or the terms and conditions upon which any Employee Incentives have been issued.
(b) No amendment to the Employee Incentive Plan rules or to Employee Incentives may be made if the amendment, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, materially reduces the rights of any Participant in respect of Employee Incentives granted to them prior to the date of the amendment, other than:
(i) an amendment introduced primarily:
(A) for the purposes of complying with or conforming to present or future applicable laws;
(B) to correct any manifest error or mistake;
(C) to allow the implementation of a trust arrangement in relation to the holding of Shares granted under the Employee Incentive Plan; and/or
54
(D) to take into consideration possible adverse taxation implications in respect of the Employee Incentive Plan including changes to applicable taxation legislation or the interpretation of that legislation by a court of competent jurisdiction or any rulings from taxation or duty authorities administering such legislation; or
(ii) an amendment agreed to in writing by the Participant(s).
A copy of the complete rules of the Employee Incentive Plan is available upon request by contacting the Company Secretary.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, please write the name of that individual or body corporate in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting will default to the Chairman of the Meeting, who is required to vote those proxies as directed. Any undirected proxies that default to the Chairman of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Form, including where the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of KMP.
VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS - PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as they choose. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning the Company's share registry or you may copy this form and return them both together.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
(a) on each of the first Proxy Form and the second Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form.
