How to vote

Voting on all proposed Resolutions at the Meeting will be conducted by poll. Under the Constitution, any poll will be conducted as directed by the Chair.

Shareholders can vote by either:

  • attending the Meeting and voting in person or by attorney or, in the case of corporate Shareholders, by appointing a corporate representative to attend and vote; or

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • A proxy need not be a Shareholder. The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.

  • If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit.

  • 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.

  • Proxies must be received by 10.00am (Melbourne time) on 5 July 2025 , being not less than 48 hours prior to the commencement of the Meeting. Proxies received after this time will be invalid. Proxies may be lodged using any of the following methods:

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 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.

Background to Resolutions

On 29 May 2025, the Company announced to ASX that it had received firm commitments to raise $3 million before costs from sophisticated and professional investors through the issue of convertible notes subject to shareholder approval. That announcement stated as follows:

  • The convertible notes are convertible into shares on the date determined by the holder and automatically convert into shares on 15 June 2027 if they haven’t converted earlier. The conversion price is the lower of 0.9 cents per share and a 20% discount to the 15-business day volume weighted average price of shares traded on ASX prior to conversion (although they convert at 0.9 cents per share if converted before 22 September 2025). They are not redeemable. Their detailed terms are set out in Annexure A . This is the subject of Resolution 1.

  • In lieu of interest, the Company will issue a total of 214,285,714 options to the convertible notes investors. The options are exercisable at 1.1 cents each and expire on 15 December 2027. Their detailed terms are set out in Annexure B . This is the subject of Resolution 2.

  • The Company is able to elect to receive some or all of the underlying funds as a loan pending receipt of shareholder approval. The issue of the convertible notes and options is to occur shortly after receipt of shareholder approval if obtained. If shareholder approval is not obtained, any funds received by the Company in the interim is repayable with interest at the rate of 7% from the date of receipt until the date of repayment.

  • Ignite Equity Pty Ltd is acting as lead manager on the capital raising. It has been issued with 15 million options on the same terms as set out above and will receive fees based upon 6% of funds raised plus GST on completion of the capital raising. This is the subject of Resolution 3.

Resolution 1 - Approval to issue Convertible Notes to investors

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specific exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity, if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the 12 month period. One circumstance where an action or an issue is not taken into account in calculating the 15% threshold is where the issue has the prior approval of shareholders at a general meeting.

If the resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed to issue the Convertible Notes. In addition, any fully paid ordinary shares issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes (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 Company will not be able to issue the Convertible Notes and any loan funds received by the Company in the interim is repayable within 4 months following the date of the Meeting with interest at the rate of 7% from the date of receipt until the date of repayment.

$3 million of Convertible Notes are convertible into shares on the date determined by the holder and automatically convert into shares on 15 June 2027 if they haven’t converted earlier. The conversion price is the lower of 0.9 cents per share and a 20% discount to the 15-business day volume weighted average price of shares traded on ASX prior to conversion (although they convert at 0.9 cents per share if converted before 22 September 2025). They are not redeemable. Their detailed terms are set out in Annexure A .

Ionic Rare Earths Limited – Notice of General Meeting July 2025

There is no floor on the conversion price as from 22 September 2025. As from that date, the conversion price is a 20% discount to the 15-business day volume weighted average price of shares (VWAP) of shares on ASX prior to conversion. In other words, the number of shares issued on conversion of the Converting Notes is not fixed but is instead based on the future trading price of shares on ASX. This means that the issue of the Convertible Notes could end up being highly dilutive to Shareholders if the market price of the ordinary shares on ASX falls substantially over the period through to the date when they are converted .

To illustrate this, the following table sets out the number of shares that will be issued on conversion of the $3 million of Convertible Notes having regard to 3 different share price examples. These are merely examples, and different possible outcomes may arise. Example 2 shows the potential dilution risk to shareholders if the market price falls prior to conversion to say 0.5 cents:

15 Business Day VWAP of Shares
on ASX Prior to Conversion
Conversion Price
(at a 20% discount)
Number of Shares to be
issued on Conversion
Example 1:0.7 cents(which is the
market price at 30May2025)
0.56 cents 535,714,285
Example 2:0.5 cents(if the market
price falls prior to conversion)
0.40 cents 750,000,000
Example 3:0.9 cents(if the market
price rises prior to conversion)
0.72 cents 416,666,666

The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3:

  • The Convertible Notes are being issued to sophisticated and professional investors who were identified or selected by the lead manager to the capital raising.

  • The total number of securities to be issued is 120 Convertible Notes (each with an issue price and face value of $25,000).

  • If shareholder approval is obtained, the Convertible Notes are to be issued shortly after the Meeting and in any event no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

  • The full terms of the Convertible Notes are set out in Annexure A .

  • The purpose of the issue of Convertible Notes is to raise $3 million before costs. Funds raised from the issue of the Convertible Notes will be used for working capital including progressing developments of projects in the UK, USA, Brazil and Makuutu.

  • A voting exclusion for the resolution is contained in the Notice accompanying this Explanatory Memorandum.

Resolution 2 - Approval to issue Options to investors

The resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 214,285,714 Options to the Convertible Notes investors.

If the resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Options. In addition, the issue of the Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. If the resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options unless the Company is able to rely on its then existing placement capacity to do so, noting that a summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out above.

The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3:

  • The Options are being issued to sophisticated and professional investors who were identified or selected by the lead manager to the capital raising and who are investing in the Convertible Notes, and will be issued to them on a pro-rata basis.

  • The total number of Options to be issued is 214,285,714 Options exercisable at 1.1 cents each expiring on 15 December 2027.

Ionic Rare Earths Limited – Notice of General Meeting July 2025

  • If shareholder approval is obtained, the Options are to be issued shortly after the Meeting at the same time the Convertible Notes are issued and in any event no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

  • No payment is to be received by the Company for the issue of the Options.

  • The full terms of the Options are set out in Annexure B .

  • The Options facilitate the issue of the Convertible Notes and are being issued in lieu of interest as an incentive to participate in the capital raising.

  • A voting exclusion for the resolution is contained in the Notice accompanying this Explanatory Memorandum.

Resolution 3 - Ratification of prior issue of Options to lead manager

This resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the prior issue of 15,000,000 Options on the same terms as the Options are proposed to be issued to investors in the Convertible Notes to the lead manager of the capital raising namely Ignite Equity Pty Ltd.

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 15,000,000 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:

  • The Options were issued to Ignite Equity Pty Ltd as lead manager of the capital raising.

  • The total number of securities issued was 15,000,000 Options.

  • The full terms of the Options are set out in Annexure B .

  • The Options were issued on 29 May 2025 under the placement capacity available to the Company under Listing Rule 7.1 and an Appendix 3G was released to ASX on that date.

  • No payment was received by the Company for the issue of the Options. The Options were issued as part consideration for capital raising services provided to the Company. 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.

  • The Options were issued pursuant to a capital raising mandate between the Company and Ignite Equity Pty Ltd. A summary of the material terms of that capital raising mandate is set out below:

  • Ignite Equity Pty Ltd was engaged by the Company to provide capital raising services in connection with the capital raising comprising the issue of the Convertible Notes described above.

  • The Company agreed to pay Ignite Equity Pty Ltd a fee of 6% of funds raised plus GST on completion of the capital raising and to issue it the 15,000,000 Options the subject of this resolution.

  • The capital raising mandate otherwise contains terms typical for an arrangement of this kind.

  • A voting exclusion for the resolution is contained in the Notice accompanying this Explanatory Memorandum.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
