- appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the Proxy Form accompanying this Notice and by submitting their Proxy Form online, in person, by post, by email or by facsimile.
Voting in person or by attorney
Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and their attendance recorded. A certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the original Power of Attorney, must be received by the Company in the same manner, and by the same time as outlined for proxy forms below.
Voting by a corporation
A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at the Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. Written proof of the representative’s appointment (including any authority under which it is signed) must be lodged with or presented to the Company before the Meeting.
Voting by proxy
==> picture [15 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.
==> picture [15 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
- The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).
==> picture [15 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Should any resolution, other than those specified in this Notice, be proposed at the Meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolution as they think fit.
-
If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the Shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.
-
A Shareholder who returns their Proxy Form with a direction how to vote, but does not nominate the identity of their proxy, will be taken to have appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a Proxy Form is returned with a direction how to vote, but the nominated proxy (who is not Chair of the Meeting) does not attend the Meeting or does not vote on the relevant Resolution(s), the Chair of the Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote on a poll in accordance with any instructions.
-
Proxy appointments in favour of the Chair of the Meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used, where possible, to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions. These rules are explained in this Notice. However, in exceptional circumstances, the Chair of the Meeting may change his voting intention, in which case an ASX announcement will be made.

Explanatory Memorandum
This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of the Company.
Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Memorandum. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations are set out in the Glossary to the Explanatory Memorandum.
Annual Report and Financial Statements
The Board is required to lay before the Meeting the consolidated annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2025, together with the Directors' report (including the Remuneration Report) and the Auditor's Report on the financial report. No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions, and to make comments on the reports and on the management of the Company.
The Chair will also give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor or the Auditor’s representative questions relevant to the conduct of the audit; the preparation and content of the independent Auditor's Report; the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
The Chair will also allow a reasonable opportunity for the Auditor or their representative to answer any written questions submitted to the Auditor under section 250PA of the Corporations Act.
- A copy of the Company’s 2025 Annual Report is available on the ASX website or at https://ionicre.com/investors/financial reports/.
Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to put to its Shareholders a resolution that the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2025 Annual Report be adopted.
The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors, sets out remuneration details for each Director and any service agreements and sets out the details of any equity-based compensation.
Shareholders are entitled to vote on the question as to whether the Remuneration Report is to be adopted. However, the vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.
Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the second annual general meeting ( Spill Resolution ), to approve calling a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must then convene a Spill Meeting within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the applicable Directors’ report was approved, other than any Managing Director, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting and will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.
The remuneration report for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 did not receive a vote of more than 25% against its adoption at the Company’s annual general meeting held on 27 November 2024. Accordingly, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against adoption of the Remuneration Report it will not result in the Company putting a Spill Resolution to Shareholders.

Resolution 2 – Election of Sufian Ahmad as Director
Background
Pursuant to clause 13.3 of the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director's appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer. Sufian Ahmad, who has served as a Director of the Company since 10 May 2023 and was elected by shareholders as a Director at the Annual General Meeting on 28 November 2023, therefore retires in accordance with the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 and being eligible, seeks re-election from Shareholders.
Mr Ahmad
Mr Ahmad holds a Master of Business Administration, a Post-Graduate Diploma in Commercial and Resources Law, a Bachelor of Law (Hons) and a Diploma in Financial Planning. Mr Ahmad brings strong legal, business and marketing expertise to the board with over 10 years’ experience in the resource sector in the provision of corporate advisory services.
Mr Ahmad is also the founder of Sixty-Two Capital, an advisory firm specialising in the growth and funding of emerging ASX companies. Mr Ahmad was formerly a Director of Battery Age Mineral Limited (formerly Pathfinder Resources Limited).
The Board considers that Mr Ahmad is an independent Director.
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Ahmad will be elected as a Director.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Ahmad will resign as a Director at the end of the Meeting.
The members of the Board (other than Mr Ahmad) support the election of Mr Ahmad and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Capacity
Background
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.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an Eligible Entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
An Eligible Entity means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less at the date of the AGM. The Company is expected to be an Eligible Entity for these purposes.
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has two classes of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: IXR) and Options (ASX Code: IXRO).
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
==> picture [9 x 6] intentionally omitted <==
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
(a) Timing of potential issues
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).
(b)
Minimum price
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum issue price of 75% of the volume-weighted average price for the Company's Equity Securities in that 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 by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; 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.
(c) Use of funds
The Company intends to use the funds raised from the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity towards finalising development studies and commercialisation of the Companies assets, and for working capital purposes.
(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 14 October 2025
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Notes : The table above assumes:
-
(a) There were 5,718,567,847 Shares on issue on 14 October 2025.
-
(b) The issue price set out above is the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 14 October 2025.
-
(c) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
(d) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(e) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists of Shares and Options. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(f) The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
-
(g) 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.
-
(h) 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%.
-
(i) 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 Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(j) The table has been calculated on a pre-consolidated basis.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(e) Allocation policy
The identity of the persons to whom Equity Securities will be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined as at the date of this Notice but could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The persons to whom Equity Securities will be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to market conditions at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities, including consideration of matters including, but not limited to:
==> picture [9 x 6] intentionally omitted <==
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from its professional advisers, including corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

- (g) Voting exclusion statement
As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in respect of this Resolution 3.
The members of the Board recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
Resolution 4 – Issue of securities under the Equity Incentive Plan
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholders approval for the issue of up to a maximum of 300 million securities on a preconsolidated basis under the employee incentive scheme titled “Ionic Rare Earths Limited Equity Incentive Plan” summarised at Annexure A (Equity Incentive Plan), (being a maximum of 10 million securities on a post-consolidated basis) in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13).
==> picture [9 x 6] intentionally omitted <==
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period. Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13) sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 which provides that issues under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Equity Incentive Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12-month period.
The objective of the Equity Incentive Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and it is considered by the Company that the adoption of the Equity Incentive Plan and the future issue of securities under the Equity Incentive Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.
Any future issues of securities under the Equity Incentive Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained, will require additional Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
This is a new employee incentive scheme and no securities have been issued under it.
A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan is set out in Annexure A . In addition, a copy of the Equity Incentive Plan is available on the Company’s website.
A voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 4 of this Notice.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Equity Incentive Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years without impacting on the Company’s 15% placement capacity under the Listing Rule 7.1 in any 12 month period.
The Company must still seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of securities under the Equity Incentive Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will still be able to proceed with the issue of securities to eligible participants – however, any issues of securities will fall within the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of those securities.
The members of the Board recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
Resolution 5 – Ratification of prior issue – Placement Shares
Background
On 16 October 2025, the Company issued 595,312,500 Shares at an issue price of $0.016 per share ( Placement Shares ) to new domestic and international institutional investors to raise $9.5 million (before costs) (refer to the Company’s ASX announcement on 14 October 2025) ( Placement ).
Resolution 5 relates to the ratification of the Placement Shares.
Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue, without approval of its shareholders, more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase the 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 27 November 2024.
The Issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2, and, as it has not yet been approved by shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing the Company’s
==> picture [9 x 6] intentionally omitted <==
capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under the Listing Rule 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of the issue.
Under Listing Rule 7.4, if a company's shareholders approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made, that issue or agreement to issue equity securities is treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A (provided that the issue or agreement did not breach Listing Rule 7.1A).
By ratifying the issue of shares under the Placement, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 10% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 5.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Shares under the Placement will not be included in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and the Company’s 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of those securities.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of those securities.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:
-
a) The Placement Shares were issued to new domestic and international institutional investors and executives, including to Argentem Creek Partners.
-
b) 595,312,500 Placement Shares were issued as follows:
-
(i) 75,000,000 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) 520,312,500 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
c) The Placement Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares.
-
d) The Placement Shares were issued on 16 October 2025.
-
e) The issue price was $0.016 per Placement Share.
-
f) The purpose of the Placement was to raise $9.5 million (before costs) which will be used primarily for the following purposes:
-
(i) accelerating the commercialisation of the Belfast magnet recycling plant;
-
(ii) advancing the Brazilian rare earth refining and recycling Viridion joint venture;
-
(iii) securing rare earth supply chains in the USA and globally; and
-
(iv) progressing development of the Makuutu Heavy Rare Earths Project.
-
g) The Placement Shares were issued to investors under the terms of the Prospectus dated 12 September 2025 as supplemented by the Supplementary Prospectus dated 16 October 2025.
-
h) A voting exclusion statement is included in relation to this resolution.
The members of the Board recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
==> picture [9 x 6] intentionally omitted <==
Resolution 6 – Ratification of prior issue – Placement Options
Background
On 16 October 2025, the Company issued 595,312,500 options ( Placement Options ) in relation to the Placement Shares referred in Resolution 5. The Placement Options were issued out of the Company’s then available Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity.
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue, without approval of its shareholders, more equity securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.4, if a company's shareholders approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made, that issue or agreement to issue equity securities is treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the issue or agreement did not breach Listing Rule 7.1).
By ratifying the issue of options under the Placement, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior shareholder approval.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of shares under the Placement the subject of Resolution 6.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Shares under the Placement will not be included in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of those securities.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Shares, will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of those securities.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6:
-
a) The Placement Options were issued to participants in the Placement on a 1 Option for every 1 Share issued basis.
-
b) 595,312,500 Placement Options were issued for nil issue price on 16 October 2025.
-
c) Each Option is exercisable at 2.5 cents before 30 September 2028.
-
d) The purpose of the issue of the Placement Options is to enable the Company to fulfil its obligations to investors who participated in the Placement;
-
e) The Placement Options are not being issued under an agreement.
-
f) The Placement Options were issued to investors under the terms of the Prospectus dated 12 September 2025 as supplemented by the Supplementary Prospectus dated 16 October 2025.
-
g) A voting exclusion statement is included in relation to this resolution.
The members of the Board recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.
Resolution 7 – Ratification of prior issue – Advisor Options
This resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the prior issue of 45,348,845 Advisor Options on the same terms as the Options issued to investors in the Rights Issue to the lead manager of the capital raising namely Mahe Capital Pty Ltd ( Mahe Capital ).
==> picture [9 x 6] intentionally omitted <==
Under Listing Rule 7.4, if a company's shareholders approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made, that issue or agreement to issue equity securities is treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the issue or agreement did not breach Listing Rule 7.1).
If the resolution is passed, then the 45,348,845 Options will be treated as not having used the placement capacity of the Company available under the ASX Listing Rules. In addition, shares issued on exercise of the Options (if any) will increase the placement capacity available to the Company under Listing Rule 7.1 and, if the required approval is held at the time, Listing Rule 7.1A. If the resolution is not passed, the Options will continue to use the placement capacity available to the Company under the ASX Listing Rules.
The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
-
a) 45,348,845 Advisor Options were issued to Mahe Capital as lead manager and underwriter of the capital raising.
-
b) Each Option is exercisable at 2.5 cents before 30 September 2028. The full terms of the Advisor Options are set out in Annexure B .
-
c) The Advisor Options were issued for nil consideration on 16 October 2025 as part of lead manager fees as set out in the Prospectus dated 12 September 2025.
Funds raised on exercise of the Options (if any) will be applied to meeting the working capital requirements of the Company at the time of exercise of Options.
-
d) The Options were issued pursuant to a capital raising mandate between the Company and Mahe Capital. A summary of the material terms of that capital raising mandate is set out below:
-
Mahe Capital was engaged by the Company to provide capital raising services in connection with the capital raising.
-
The Company agreed to pay Mahe Capital a fee of 6% of funds raised plus GST on completion of the capital raising and to issue it the 45,348,845 Options the subject of this resolution.
-
The capital raising mandate otherwise contains terms typical for an arrangement of this kind.
-
e) A voting exclusion statement is included in relation to this resolution.
The members of the Board recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
Resolution 8 – Approval of Share Consolidation
This resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to consolidate its issued capital through the consolidation of every 30 Shares into 1 Share ( Consolidation ).
Under section 254H(1) of the Corporations Act, the Company may convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number by ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting.
Rationale for the Consolidation
The Board believes that the Consolidation will result in a more appropriate and effective capital structure for the Company and is in the best interests of its shareholders. In particular, the Board considers that the quantity of Shares on issue at present is too high and that the trading price of Shares is too low for an entity of the Company’s size and nature compared to other listed entities. A minor change in the trading price of the Shares at present has a large impact on its market capitalisation, and a consolidation should have the effect of reducing this volatility as well as increasing the trading price of the Shares.
On balance, the Board considers that the proposed 30 to 1 consolidation ratio is the appropriate ratio which should apply in the circumstances of the Company.
Although the Consolidation theoretically has no impact on the underlying value of the Company, Shareholders should appreciate that the value of the Company’s Shares as listed on the ASX (and in turn the Company’s market capitalisation) post-Consolidation is subject to a broad range of market factors which are beyond the control of the Company.
The concept of a potential share consolidation was announced by the Company in its Prospectus dated 12 September 2025. The Prospectus stated that it is possible that Shareholders would be asked to consider in due course a potential share consolidation which would reduce the number of securities on issue without changing their proportionate interest in the Company, although details in this regard had not then been determined.
==> picture [9 x 6] intentionally omitted <==
Effect of the Consolidation
The effect of the Consolidation on the capital structure of the Company is set out below. It is based on the current capital structure of the Company as at 16 October 2025, and is subject to adjustment based on changes in its capital structure that occur prior to the record date for the Consolidation if the resolution is passed by Shareholders, and is subject to Consolidation rounding:
(a) Summary effect on capital structure
| Security | Pre-Consolidation | Post-Consolidation |
|---|---|---|
| Shares | 6,694,585,452 | 223,152,848 |
| Options | 1,613,256,319 | 53,775,211 |
| Performance Rights | 130,000,000 | 4,333,334 |
| Convertible Notes | 20 | 20 |
In addition to consolidation of the Shares on issue on a 30 to 1 basis, if the Consolidation is approved, any convertible securities in the capital of the Company must also be reorganised in accordance with the terms and conditions of those convertible securities and the Listing Rules. In summary, the holders of convertible securities are treated in a way that no holder will receive a benefit or suffer a detriment that holders of ordinary shares do not receive, and will not result in any change in the substantive rights and obligations of existing holders of securities relative to each other.
(b) Shares
The following table sets out the effect of the Consolidation on the Shares:
| Security Shares |
Pre-Consolidation | Post-Consolidation |

| IXRAG | 20 | $0.009* | 20 | $0.27* |
| Total | 20 | 20 |
*Note: The conversion price assumes that a 20% discount to the VWAP for the 15 business days on which trading of Shares occurs prior to conversion (which occurs no later than 15 June 2027) is at least the conversion price specified.
(f) Fractional entitlements
Where the Consolidation results in an entitlement to a fraction of a security, that fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole security.
(g) Holding statements
If the Consolidation occurs, new holding statements will be issued to security holders, who are encouraged to check their holdings after the Consolidation.
(h) Taxation
It is not considered that any taxation implications will arise for Shareholders from the Consolidation. The Company does not accept any responsibility for the taxation implications for Shareholders arising from the Consolidation.

Annexure A – Summary of Equity Incentive Plan
A summary of the key terms of the Equity Incentive Plan is set out below:
-
The Equity Incentive Plan sets out the framework for the offer of Shares, Options or Performance Rights by the Company, and is typical for a document of this nature.
-
In making its decision to issue Shares, Options or Performance Rights, the Board may decide the number of securities and the vesting conditions which are to apply in respect of the securities. The Board has broad flexibility to issue Shares, Options or Performance Rights having regard to a range of potential vesting criteria and conditions.
-
In certain circumstances, unvested Options or Performance Rights will immediately lapse and any unvested Shares held by the participant will be forfeited if the relevant person is a “bad leaver” as distinct from a “good leaver”.
-
If a participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly or is in breach of their obligations to the Company or its subsidiaries, the Board may determine that any unvested Performance Rights or Options held by the participant immediately lapse and that any unvested Shares held by the participant be forfeited.
-
In certain circumstances, Shares, Performance Rights or Options can vest early, including following a change of control or other events of a similar nature. For the purposes of this rule, a relevant control event occurs in a number of scenarios in which a third party may acquire 50% or more of the Company’s Shares.
-
The Board has discretion to impose restrictions (except to the extent prohibited by law or the ASX Listing Rules) on Shares issued or transferred to a participant on vesting of an Option or a Performance Right, and the Company may implement appropriate procedures to restrict a participant from so dealing in the Shares.
-
In respect of vested Options or Performance Rights, if the Board becomes aware of an event which would have resulted in vesting criteria not being satisfied, such as a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements during the vesting period, any affected vested Options or Rights may be cancelled for no consideration.
-
In the event of any reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company on, or prior to, the expiry of the Performance Rights or Options, the rights of the relevant security holder can be changed in the discretion of the Board, including to comply with the applicable ASX Listing Rules in force at the time of the reorganisation.
-
The Board is granted a certain level of discretion under the EIPR, including the power to amend the rules under which the Equity Incentive Plan Rules is governed and to waive vesting conditions, forfeiture conditions or disposal restrictions.
==> picture [9 x 6] intentionally omitted <==
Annexure B – Terms of Advisor Options
Terms of New Options New Options entitle the holder (Holder) to subscribe for ordinary fully paid shares in the Company (Shares) on the following terms:
-
(a) Each New Option entitles the Holder to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of the New Option.
-
(b) The amount payable on exercise of a New Option is 2.5 cents.
-
(c) Subject to paragraphs (l) and (m), each New Option expires on 30 September 2028. A New Option not exercised on or before the expiry date will automatically lapse on the expiry date.
-
(d) There are no participating rights or entitlements conferred on the New Options and the Holder will not be entitled to participate with respect to the new Options in new issues offered to Shareholders during the term of the New Options without exercising the New Options. There is no change in exercise price or to the number of Shares over which a New Option can be exercised in the event of a pro-rata issue.
-
(e) In the event of any reorganisation of capital of the Company prior to the expiry date for exercise of the New Options, the number of New Options to which the Holder is entitled or the exercise price of the New Options or both will be changed to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of reorganisation.
-
(f) The number of New Options held will appear on a Holder's statement which will be accompanied by a Notice of Exercise of New Options form that is to be completed when exercising New Options.
-
(g) The New Options can be exercised at any time prior to their expiry date by completing the Notice of Exercise of New Options form and delivering it to the Company with payment of the exercise price for each New Option being exercised in Australian currency by electronic funds transfer or other means of payment acceptable to the Company.
-
(h) The Company shall, within 5 Business Days after the receipt of a Notice of Exercise of New Options form and the requisite payment, issue Shares in respect of the New Options exercised and arrange for a holding statement for the Shares to be despatched to the Holder.
-
(i) The Holder may exercise any number of the New Options without prejudice to the Holder's ability to subsequently exercise any remaining New Options.
-
(j) If admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, the Company will, within 7 days, apply for official quotation on ASX of the Shares issued upon the exercise of the New Options.
-
(k) Shares issued on exercise of a New Option rank equally with the then issued shares of the Company.
-
(l) If a takeover bid within the meaning of the Corporations Act is made for the Shares in the Company and the bidder acquires a relevant interest in at least 90% of the Shares and the bid is unconditional, any New Options not exercised within 7 days thereafter will automatically lapse.
-
(m) If a court orders a meeting to be held in relation to a proposed scheme of arrangement in relation to the Company the effect of which is that a person will have a relevant interest in at least 90% of the Shares and that resolution is passed by the requisite majorities of Company shareholders, any New Options not exercised within 2 days of the court order approving the scheme of arrangement will automatically lapse.
