IRIS Metals Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Resolutions

Remuneration Report

Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to present to its Shareholders the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Financial Report.

The vote on the Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s Annual Financial Report and is also available on the Company’s website at https://irismetals.com/investors/financial-reports/.

However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting (subject of this Notice of Meeting), and then again at the 2025 Annual General Meeting ( 2025 AGM ), the Company will be required to put to the vote a resolution ( Spill Resolution ) at the 2025 AGM to approve the calling of a further meeting ( Spill Meeting ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the Spill Meeting within 90 days of the 2025 AGM. All of the Directors who were in office when the 2025 Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will (if desired) need to stand for reelection at the Spill Meeting.

The Remuneration Report explains the Board’s policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to KMPs (including Directors) and sets out remuneration details, service agreements and the details of any share-based compensation.

Voting

Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting. In particular, the Directors and other Restricted Voters must not vote on this Resolution and must not cast a vote as proxy, unless the appointment gives a direction on how to vote, or the proxy is given to the Chair and you submit the Proxy Form, authorising the Chair to exercise the proxy even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP and that in doing so you will be taken to have directed the Chair to vote in accordance with the Chair’s stated intention to vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Shareholders are urged to read carefully the Proxy Form and to provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.

- Election or Re election of Directors

Resolution 2 – Re-election of Tal Paneth as Director

Ratification of Prior Issue of Unlisted Options

Resolution 4 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Taurus Capital Group Pty Ltd

Background

As announced by the Company on 28 June 2024, the Company appointed Taurus Capital Group Pty Ltd to provide Corporate Advisory Services.

On 3 July 2024, the Company issued the following unquoted securities utilising the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1:

6,500,000 options exercisable at $0.40 each on or before 31 December 2025 vesting immediately on issue (“ Unlisted Options ”).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

This Resolution proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the prior issue and allotment of 6,500,000 Unlisted Options, which was issued on 3 July 2024 ( Issue Date ).

All of the Unlisted Options was issued by utilising the Company’s existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

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.

The issue of 6,500,000 Unlisted Options did not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

IRIS Metals Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to subsequently approve the issue of 6,500,000 Unlisted Options for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If this Resolution is passed, the issue of 6,500,000 Unlisted Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

If this Resolution is not passed, the issue of 6,500,000 Unlisted Options will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Resolution 5 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Approval of Future Issue of Securities

General

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 add an additional 10% capacity.

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 less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million).

As of the closing price of the day prior to the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $38.647 million and therefore is an eligible entity. If at the time of the Meeting the Company is no longer an eligible entity this Resolution will be withdrawn.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of a 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.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for in 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.

Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

The following information is provided to Shareholder for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.

Period for which the approval will be valid

An approval under this Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:

(a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;

IRIS Metals Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

(b) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; and
(c) the time and date on which Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

Minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A

Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be an existing quoted class of the Company’s equity securities and issued for cash consideration.

The issue price per equity security must not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of the equity securities in that class, calculated over 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

(a) the date on which the price at the equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the equity securities; and
(b) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the equity securities are issued.

Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used

As noted above, any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed use of funds at the time of issue.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, if Shareholders approve this Resolution. However, if Shareholders approved this Resolution and the Company did raise funds from the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company considers that the funds may be used for the following purposes:

(a) acquisition of assets such as mineral tenements, or a business or company holding mineral tenements, where those tenements may be at various stages such as exploration through to an operating and producing tenement;
(b) exploration activities;
(c) screenings and assessments, feasibility studies, appraisal and testing activities, development and production expenditures on the Company’s current assets or acquired assets or any aspects related to the financing thereof;
(d) for general corporate purposes, including working capital; and
(e) for the costs of the raising.

Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing ordinary Securityholders

If this Resolution is approved, and the Company issues equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted.

There is a risk that:

(a) the market price for the Company’s equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and
(b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) 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 equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Securityholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in rule 7.1A.2:

Notes:

(b) Based on the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX as at 15 July 2024 .
(c) The table assumes that the Company issues the maximum number of ordinary Shares available to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.
(d) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of issues of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of this Explanatory Statement.
(e) The table shows the effect of an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A only, not under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Allocation policy for issues under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company’s allocation policy and the identity of the allottees of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will depend on a number of factors, including:

(a) the Company’s intentions in relation to the possible issue of equity securities (for cash consideration) during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period;
(b) the structure and timeframe of the capital raising opportunities available to the Company and any alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company (such as a pro rata offer or an offer under a share purchase plan);
(c) the potential effect on the control of the Company;
(d) the Company’s financial position and the likely future capital requirements; and
(e) advice from the Company’s corporate or financial advisors.

Based on the Company’s historical cashflow reports and capital raising activities in the past 12 months, the Company considers that it may raise funds during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, although this cannot be guaranteed. As of the date of this Notice, no specific intention to issue equity securities in relation to any parties, investors or existing Securityholders have been formed. In addition, no intentions have been formed in relation to the possible number of issues, or the time frame in which the issues could be made. Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Board of Directors reserve the right to determine at the time of any issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the allocation policy that the Company will adopt for that issue.

If and when the determination is made to proceed with an issue of equity securities during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, details regarding the allottees and purposes of issue will be disclosed pursuant to the Company’s obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4.

Offers made under Listing Rule 7.1A may be made to parties (excluding any related parties) including professional and sophisticated investors, existing Shareholders of the Company, clients of Australian Financial Service Licence holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to

IRIS Metals Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

whom the Company is able to make an offer of equity securities.

Issue or agreement to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months prior to AGM

The Company has not issued or agreed to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the AGM.

This Resolution is a Special Resolution. For a Special Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of the votes validly cast on the resolution by Shareholders (by number of ordinary shares) must be in favour of this Resolution.

Directors’ recommendation

The Board of Directors recommend that Shareholders vote for this Resolution.

Incentive Plan

Resolution 6 – Adoption of Employee Securities Incentive Plan

General

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “Employee Securities Incentive Plan” (Plan) and for the issue of up to a maximum of 10,000,000 securities, excluding issues approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14 or Listing Rule 10.11, under the Incentive Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

The objective of the Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company considers that the adoption of the Plan and the future issue of securities under the Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)

Subject to a number of exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2, 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years from the date of the Meeting. The issue of any securities to eligible participants under the Plan (up to the maximum number of securities, being 10,000,000) 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.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of securities under the 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 6 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities

IRIS Metals Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of those securities.

Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6:

(a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Annexure B;
(b) the Company previously approved the Employee Securities Plans on 23 December 2021 and 5 May 2023, and has issued in aggregate under those plans a total of 6,310,223 securities;
(c) The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the Plan to refresh the capacity under section (d) below, noting the plan includes terms and conditions required by Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which replaced the previous relief provided by ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (Employee Incentive Scheme); and
(d) the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the Plan in reliance on Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), is 10,000,000 securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

Directors’ Recommendation

As Directors are eligible, with shareholder approval, to participate in the Employee Securities Incentive Plan, the Board of Directors has not made a recommendation for this Resolution.

Issue of Performance Rights to Related Parties

Resolution 7 – Issue of Performance Rights to Related Party – Kevin Smith

Background

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to issue and allot 1,500,000 Performance Rights to Kevin Smith, Director of the Company ( Related Party ), on the terms and conditions set out below.

The purpose of the issue of the Performance Rights is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Party to align the interests of the Related Party with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Party in his roles as a Director and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate the Related Party, 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 Related Party.

Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company, as a listed company, must not issue equity securities to persons in a position of influence without Shareholder approval.

A person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 includes:

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

IRIS Metals Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the Company and who has nominated a director to the board of the Company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
(d) an Associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c) above; and
(e) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) above is such that, in the ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders.

Mr Smith, Director of the Company, is a person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12, and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

To this end, this Resolutions seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the 1,500,000 Performance Rights to Mr Smith under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue and the Performance Rights will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date on which the Performance Rights are issued.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue and the Company will need to find an alternative cash form of remuneration and incentive.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company unless either:

(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions; or
(b) Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit.

The proposed issue of 1,500,000 Performance Rights (which is a type of equity security, for the purposes of the Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act) constitutes the giving of a financial benefit.

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

The non-conflicted Directors of the Company (being Mr Paneth and Mr Connell carefully considered the issue of these 1,500,000 Performance Rights to Mr Smith and formed the view that the giving of this financial benefit are on arm’s length terms, including that the securities are proposed to be issue on the same or similar terms as offered to non-related parties of the Company.

Accordingly, the non-conflicted Directors of the Company believe that the issue of these 1,500,000 Performance Rights to Mr Smith fall within the “arm’s length terms” exception as set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act, and relies on this exception for the purposes of this Resolution. Therefore, the proposed issue of 1,500,000 Performance Rights to Mr Smith requires Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 only.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

The following information in relation to the issue of 1,500,000 Performance Rights to Mr Smith is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13:

(a) The allottee is Kevin Smith (or his nominee).

IRIS Metals Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

(b) Kevin Smith is a Director of the Company and therefore falls within the related party category referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1.
(c) The maximum number of Performance Rights to be issued is 1,500,000.
(d) The full terms of the Performance Rights are set out in Annexure C of this Notice of Meeting. (e) The Performance Rights will be issued within 1 month of Shareholder approval being obtained by the Company (or otherwise, as determined by the ASX in the exercise of their discretion).
(f) The Performance Rights will be offered for nil cash consideration.
(g) Funds will not be raised from the issue of these Performance Rights as the issue is proposed to be made for remuneration purposes.
(h) The current total remuneration package received by the relevant Director is $75,000 per annum (excluding any superannuation required to be paid under federal legislation)

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board of Directors (with Mr Smith abstaining) recommend Shareholders vote for this Resolution.

Company’s Constitution

Resolution 8 – Amendment to the Constitution

A Company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 8 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to amend its existing Constitution ( Amended Constitution ). The main proposed changes are noted below:

Securities issued under the Employee Incentive Plan (new clause 2.16)

Under the new Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which came into effect on 1 October 2022, offers under an employee incentive plan that do not require a monetary payment (e.g. zero exercise price options or performance rights) can be issued without an issue cap. However, offers requiring a monetary payment (whether upon grant or upon exercise/vesting of the awards and issue of the underlying shares) must be accompanied by an ‘ESS offer document’ and must comply with an issue cap. The cap is set at 5% under the Corporations Act unless raised by a company’s constitution. Company’s may include an issue cap in its constitution to allow for more than 5% of securities to be issued under the plan. The proposed Constitution has set the issue cap at 10%.

Accordingly, the Company has prepared an Amended Constitution which inserts the following as the new clause 2.16:

‘2.16 Securities Issued under the Employee Incentive Schemes

Subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act and for the purposes of section 1100V(2) of the Corporations Act, the issue cap is 10%.’

Poll (amended clause 13.16)

A new subsection to clause 13.16, being 13.16(a), has been added to note circumstances where a poll must be called at a general meeting, being:

(a) A resolution put to the vote of a general meeting must be decided on a poll if: (i) the notice of general meeting set out an intention to propose the resolution and stated the resolution; or

IRIS Metals Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

(ii) the Company has given notice of the resolution in accordance with section 249O of the Corporations Act; or
(iii) a poll is demanded in accordance with clause 13.16(b).

Notices: Service by the Company to Shareholders (amended clause 27.1)

New subsections to clause 27.1, being 27.1(d) to 27.1(f), has been added to clarify electronic communication means, being:

(d) notifying the Shareholder by electronic means (including providing a URL link to any document or attachment) nominated by the Shareholder:
(i) that the notice is available; and
(ii) how the Shareholder may access the notice;
(e) posting (pursuant to clause 27.1(b)) or faxing (pursuant to clause 27.1(c)) a document (including providing a URL link to any document or attachment) nominated by the Shareholder:

A summary of the material terms of the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) is set out below.

Eligible Participant	Eligible Participantmeans a person that is a ‘primary participant’ (as that term is defined in Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.
Purpose	The purpose of the Plan is to: (a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants; (b) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and (c) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Plan Shares, Options, Performance Rights or other Convertible Securities (Securities).
Plan administration	The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion (except to the extent that it prevents the Participant relying on the deferred tax concessions under Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997(Cth)). The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
Eligibility, invitation and application	The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for any (or any combination of) the Securities provided under the Plan on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.
Grant of Securities	The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number and type of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
Rights attaching to Convertible Securities	AConvertible Securityrepresents a right to acquire one or more Plan Shares in accordance with the Plan (for example, an Option or a Performance Right). Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, the holder:

(b) is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a meeting of the shareholders of the Company;
(c) is not entitled to receive any dividends declared by the Company; and
(d) is not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares (see Adjustment of Convertible Securities section below).

Vesting of Convertible Securities		Any vesting conditions which must be satisfied before Convertible Securities can be exercised and converted to Shares will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise		To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see next paragraph below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Security (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice. An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities. Market Valuemeans, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation. A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.
Timing of issue of Shares and quotation of Shares on exercise		As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
Restrictions on dealing with Convertible Securities		A holder may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them unless otherwise determined by the Board. A holder must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

IRIS Metals Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

	However, in Special Circumstances as defined under the Plan (including in the case of death or total or permanent disability of the Participant) a Participant may deal with Convertible Securities granted to them under the Plan with the consent of the Board.
Listing of Convertible Securities	A Convertible Security granted under the Plan will not be quoted on the ASX or any other recognised exchange. The Board reserves the right in its absolute discretion to apply for quotation of an Option granted under the Plan on the ASX or any other recognised exchange.
Forfeiture of Convertible Securities	Convertible Securities will be forfeited in the following circumstances: (a) where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant (e.g. is no longer employed or their office or engagement is discontinued with the Group), all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant; (b) where a Participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly, negligently, in contravention of any Group policy or wilfully breaches their duties to the Group; (c) where there is a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions in accordance with the Plan; (d) on the date the Participant becomes insolvent; or (e) on the Expiry Date.
Change of control	If a change of control event occurs, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the holder’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the holder to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
Adjustment of Convertible Securities	If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
Plan Shares	The Board may, from time to time, make an invitation to an Eligible Participant to acquire Plan Shares under the Plan. The Board will determine in its sole an absolute discretion the acquisition price (if any) for each Plan Share which may be nil. The Plan Shares may be subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions as determined by the Board.

IRIS Metals Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

	Where Plan Shares granted to a Participant are subject to performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions, the Participant’s Plan Shares will be subject to certain restrictions until the applicable performance hurdles and/or vesting conditions (if any) have been satisfied, waived by the Board or are deemed to have been satisfied under the Rules.
Rights attaching to Plan Shares	All Shares issued or transferred under the Plan or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, (Plan Shares) will rank equally in all respects with the Shares of the same class for the time being on issue except for any rights attaching to the Shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of the allotment or transfer of the Plan Shares. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares	If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction. For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not: (a) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or (b) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.
General Restrictions on Transfer of Plan Shares	If the Company is required but is unable to give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, Plan Shares issued under the Plan (including on exercise of Convertible Securities) may not be traded until 12 months after their issue unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elects to issue a prospectus pursuant to section 708A(11) of the Act. Restrictions are imposed by Applicable Law on dealing in Shares by persons who possess material information likely to affect the value of the Shares and which is not generally available. These laws may restrict the acquisition or disposal of Shares by you during the time the holder has such information. Any Plan Shares issued to a holder under the Plan (including upon exercise of Convertible Securities) shall be subject to the terms of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy.
Buy-Back	Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time buy-back Securities in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
Employee Share Trust	The Board may in its sole and absolute discretion use an employee share trust or other mechanism for the purposes of holding Convertible Securities for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf of holders upon exercise of Convertible Securities.

IRIS Metals Limited| Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement

Maximum number of Securities	The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which involves monetary consideration if the number of Plan Shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered under an invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of all invitations under the Plan during the 3 year period ending on the day of the invitation, will exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of the invitation (unless the Constitution specifies a different percentage and subject to any limits approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b). The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan, following Shareholder approval, is 6,004,000 Securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities will be issued immediately.
Amendment of Plan	Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect. No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
Plan duration	The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants. If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
Income Tax Assessment Act	The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the_Income Tax_ Assessment Act 1997(Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act) except to the extent an invitation provides otherwise.

time make such provisions as they (subject to the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules) may think fit with respect to the keeping of any such Register.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES 9.1 Death of Shareholder Leaving a Will On the death of a Shareholder who leaves a will appointing an executor, the executor shall be entitled as from the date of death, and on behalf of the deceased Shareholder's estate, to the same dividends and other advantages and to the same rights whether in relation to meetings of the Company, or voting or otherwise, as the Shareholder would have been entitled to if he or she had not died, whether or not probate of the will has been granted. Nevertheless, if probate of the will is granted to a person or persons other than the executor first referred to in this clause 9, his or her executor's rights shall cease, and these rights shall only be exercisable by the person or persons to whom probate is granted as provided in clauses 9.2 and 9.3. The estate of a deceased Shareholder will not be released from any liability to the Company in respect of the Shares. 9.2 Death or Bankruptcy of Shareholder or the Shareholder becomes of unsound mind Subject to clause 9.1, where the registered holder of a Share dies, becomes bankrupt, or the Shareholder becomes of unsound mind, his or her personal representative or the trustee of his or her estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled upon the production of such information as is properly required by the Directors, to the same dividends and other advantages, and to the same rights (whether in relation to meetings of the Company, or to voting or otherwise), as the registered holder would have been entitled to if he or she had not died or become bankrupt.

9.3 Registration by Transmission or to Beneficiary

A person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or, subject to the Bankruptcy Act 1966 , the bankruptcy of a Shareholder or the Shareholder becoming of an unsound mind may, upon information being produced that is properly required by the Directors, elect by written notice to the Company either to be registered himself or herself as holder of the Share or to have some other person nominated by the person registered as the transferee of the Share. If this person elects to have another person registered, he or she shall execute a transfer of the Share to that other person. 9.4 Limitations to Apply All the limitations, restrictions and provisions of this Constitution relating to the right to transfer Shares and the registration of a transfer of Shares are applicable to any notice or transfer as if the death, bankruptcy of the Shareholder or on the Shareholder becoming of unsound mind had not occurred and the notice or transfer were a transfer signed by that Shareholder. 9.5 Death of a Joint Holder In the case of the death of a Shareholder who was a joint holder, the survivor or survivors shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to the deceased's interest in the Shares, but this clause 9.5 does not release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of a Share that had been jointly held by this person with one or more other persons. 9.6 Joint Personal Representatives Where two or more persons are jointly entitled to any Share in consequence of the death of the registered holder, they shall, for the purpose of this Constitution, be deemed to be joint holders of the Share. 9.7 ASX Settlement Transfer In the case of an ASX Settlement Transfer the provisions of this clause 9 are subject to any obligation imposed on the Company or the person entitled to the relevant Shares on the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder by the Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Operating Rules or any law. 9.8 Joint Holders The number of registered joint holders of Securities in the Company shall be as permitted under the Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules. 10.

IPO/126_30

(b) consolidate and divide all or any of its Shares into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares;

(c) subject to the Listing Rules, sub-divide all or any of its Shares into Shares of smaller amount, but so that in the sub-division the proportion between the amount paid and the amount (if any) unpaid on each such Share of a smaller amount remains the same; and (d) cancel Shares that, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person or have been forfeited and, subject to the Corporations Act, reduce the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled, and the Directors may take such action as the Directors think fit to give effect to any resolution altering the Company’s share capital. 10.2 Reduction of Capital Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Company may reduce its share capital in any way including, but not limited to, distributing to Shareholders securities of any other body corporate and, on behalf of the Shareholders, consenting to each Shareholder becoming a member of that body corporate and agreeing to be bound by the constitution of that body corporate. ~~Each A~~ ny Shareholder who will hold a parcel of less than a Marketable Parcel following a reduction of capital pursuant to this clause 10.2 acknowledges that, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules and Corporations Act, the Company may arrange for a nominee to dispose of any of its entitlement to participate in any issue of Shares by the Company to Shareholders. 10.3 Buy-Backs The Company may, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules and in accordance with Part 2J.1 Division 2 of the Corporations Act, purchase its own Shares on such terms and at such times as may be determined by the Directors from time to time. 10.4 Financial assistance The Company may give financial assistance to any person or entity for the purchase of its own Shares in accordance with Part 2J.3 of the Corporations Act on such terms and at such times as may be determined by the Directors from time to time. 10.5 Fractions If as a result of any issue of shares or any alteration to the Company’s share capital any Shareholders would become entitled to fractions of a share, the Directors may deal with those fractions as the Directors think fit including by: (a) ignoring fractional entitlements or making cash payments in lieu of fractional entitlements;

(b) appointing a trustee to deal with any fractions on behalf of Shareholders; and

IPO/126_30

(c) rounding up each fractional entitlement to the nearest whole share by capitalising any amount available for capitalisation under clause 24.1 even though only some of the Shareholders participate in the capitalisation.

11. WRITTEN RESOLUTIONS

Where the Company has only one Shareholder, to the extent permitted by law, a resolution in writing signed by that Shareholder, shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of Shareholders duly convened and held. A facsimile transmission, an email bearing the signature of the Shareholder or an email of the Shareholder addressed to an officer of the Company confirming agreement with the resolution and undertaking to sign the resolution as soon as practicable shall be deemed to be a document in writing signed by the Shareholder. 12. GENERAL MEETINGS 12.1 Convening of General Meetings of Shareholders by Directors’ Resolution The Directors may, by a resolution passed by a majority of Directors, convene a general meeting of Shareholders in accordance with this clause 12 and the requirements of the Corporations Act. 12.2 Change of place or postponement of a General Meeting of Shareholders The Directors may, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, postpone a meeting of Shareholders or change the place for a general meeting of Shareholders by giving written notice to ASX. If a meeting of Shareholders is postponed for one month or more, the Company must give new notice of the postponed meeting. The only business that may be transacted at a general meeting the holding of which is postponed is the business specified at the original meeting. 12.3 Convening of General Meetings of Shareholders by a Director or requisition Any Director may, whenever he or she thinks fit, convene a general meeting of Shareholders, and a general meeting shall also be convened on requisition as is provided for by the Corporations Act, or in default, may be convened by such requisitions as empowered to do so by the Corporations Act. If there are no Directors for the time being, a Secretary may convene a general meeting of Shareholders for the purpose of enabling the election of Directors but for no other purpose. A general meeting may be held at two or more venues simultaneously using any technology that gives the Shareholders as a whole a reasonable opportunity to participate. 12.4 Cancellation of a General Meeting of Shareholders (a) A general meeting of Shareholders convened by the Directors in accordance with clause 12.1 may be cancelled by a resolution passed by a majority of Directors. (b) A general meeting of shareholders convened on a requisition as provided for by the Corporations Act, may, if the application for requisition is withdrawn in writing, be cancelled by a resolution passed by a majority of Directors. (c) Notice of the cancellation of a general meeting of Shareholders must be

IPO/126_30

given to the Shareholders in accordance with clause 27, but notice of such cancellation must be given to each Shareholder not less than two (2) days prior to the date on which the meeting was proposed to be held.

A notice of a general meeting shall be given in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act, clause 27 and the Listing Rules, and: (a) must specify the place, the day and the time of the meeting; (b) must state the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting; (c) must, if a special resolution is proposed at the meeting, set out an intention to propose the special resolution and state the resolution; (d) must include such statements about the appointment of proxies as are required by the Corporations Act; (e) must specify a place and fax number for the purposes of receipt of proxy appointments; and (f) may specify an electronic address for the purposes of receipt of proxy appointments, and shall include any other information required to be included in the notice by the Listing Rules. The non-receipt of a notice of a general meeting by a Shareholder or the accidental omission to give this notice to a Shareholder shall not invalidate any resolution passed at the meeting. 12.6 Irregularities in giving notice A person who attends any general meeting waives any objection that the person may have to any failure to give notice or any other irregularity in the notice of that meeting unless that person objects to the holding of the meeting at the start of the meeting. The accidental failure to give notice of a general meeting to, or the nonreceipt of the notice by, any person entitled to receive notice of that meeting does not invalidate the proceedings at the meeting or any resolution passed at that meeting. 12.7 Business at General Meeting Subject to the Corporations Act, only matters that appear in a notice of meeting shall be dealt with at a general meeting or an annual general meeting, as the case may be. 12.8 Notice to Home Branch

(a) The Company shall notify the Home Branch of any meeting at which Directors are to be elected at least 5 Business Days before the closing day for receipt of nominations for Directors, and in any other case (other than a meeting to pass a special resolution) at least 10 Business Days before the meeting is held, and in the case of a meeting convened to pass a special

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS 13.1 Quorum No business, the election of a chairperson and the adjournment of the meeting, shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present comprising two Shareholders present in person, by proxy, attorney or Representative. For the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present, a person attending as a proxy, attorney or Representative, shall be deemed to be the Shareholder present in person. If a quorum is not present within 30 minutes after the time appointed for a general meeting, the meeting, if convened upon a requisition shall be dissolved, but in any other case, it shall stand adjourned to a date and at the time and place to be fixed by the Directors. If at such adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within 30 minutes after the time appointed for the adjourned meeting, the meeting is dissolved. 13.2 Persons Entitled to Attend a General Meeting The persons entitled to attend a general meeting shall be: (a) Shareholders, in person, by proxy, attorney or Representative; (b) Directors and public officers of the Company; (c) the Company's auditor; and (d) any other person or persons as the chairperson may approve. 13.3 Refusal of Admission to Meetings The chairperson of a general meeting may refuse admission to a person, or require a person to leave and not return to, a meeting if the person: (a) refuses to permit examination of any article in the person’s possession; (b) is in possession of any: (i) electronic or broadcasting or recording device; (ii) placard or banner; or IPO/126_30 26

Nothing in this clause limits the powers conferred on the chairperson by law. 13.4 Insufficient room The chairperson may arrange for any persons attending the meeting who the chairperson considers cannot reasonably be accommodated in the place where the meeting is to take place to attend or observe the meeting from a separate place using any technology that gives Shareholders present at the meeting as a whole a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting. 13.5 Chairperson The Directors may elect an individual to act as chairperson at a general meeting or at all general meetings of the Company’s Shareholders. Where a general meeting is held and a chairperson has not been elected or the chairperson is not present within 15 minutes after the time appointed for holding of the meeting or is unwilling to act: (a) the Directors present may elect an individual to act as chairperson of the meeting; or (b) if no chairperson is elected in accordance with clause 13.5(a), the Shareholders present shall elect one of their number to be the acting chairperson of the meeting. 13.6 Vacating Chair At any time during a meeting the chairperson may elect to vacate the chair in favour of another person nominated by the chairperson either for specific resolutions or the remainder of the meeting. That person is to be taken to be the chairperson and will have all the power of the chairperson (other than the power to adjourn the meeting). 13.7 Disputes Concerning Procedure If there is a dispute at a general meeting about a question of procedure, the chairperson may determine the question. 13.8 General Conduct

The general conduct of each general meeting of the Company and the procedures to be adopted at the meeting will be determined by the chairperson, including the procedure for the conduct of the election of Directors.

IPO/126_30

13.9 Adjournment

The chairperson may adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted on the resumption of any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. A poll cannot be demanded on any resolution concerning the adjournment of a general meeting except by the chairperson. 13.10 Notice of Resumption of Adjourned Meeting When a meeting is adjourned for 30 days or more, notice of the resumption of the adjourned meeting shall be given in the same manner as for the original meeting, but otherwise, it is not necessary to give any notice of any adjournment or of the business to be transacted on the resumption of the adjourned meeting. 13.11 How resolutions are decided Subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act, a resolution is taken to be carried if a majority of the votes cast on the resolution are in favour of it. 13.12 Casting Vote In the case of an equality of votes, the chairperson of the meeting shall have a second or casting vote. 13.13 Voting Rights Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders: (a) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or Representative or, if a determination has been made by the Board in accordance with clause 13.35 by Direct Vote); (b) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or Representative of a Shareholder has one vote (even though he or she may represent more than one Shareholder); and (c) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or Representative of a Shareholder (or where a Direct Vote has been lodged) shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or Representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares, shall have such number of votes being equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable in respect of those Shares (excluding amounts credited). 13.14 Voting - Show of Hands

----- Start of picture text -----

Unless a poll is so demanded, a declaration by the chairperson that a resolution has
on a show of hands been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority,
or lost, and an entry to that effect in the book containing the minutes of the
proceedings of general meetings of the Company, is conclusive evidence of the fact
without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or
against the resolution.
13.16 Poll
(a) A resolution put to the vote of a general meeting must be decided on a poll
if:
(i) the notice of general meeting set out an intention to propose the
resolution and stated the resolution; or
(ii) the Company has given notice of the resolution in accordance with
section 249O of the Corporations Act; or
(iii) a poll is demanded in accordance with clause 13.16(b).
(a)( b) A poll may be demanded before or immediately upon the declaration of
the result of the show of hands by:
(i) the chairperson of the general meeting;

Representative having the right to vote on the resolution; or
(iii) any one or more Shareholders holding not less than 5% of the total
voting rights of all Shareholders having the right to vote on the
resolution.
The chairperson must demand a poll if, having regard to the number of votes
cast by proxy and Direct Vote, the outcome of the poll will or may be
different from the outcome of a show of hands.
13.17 Manner of Taking Poll
A poll shall be taken in such manner and either at once or after an interval or
adjournment or otherwise as the chairperson directs, and the result of the poll shall
be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. A poll demanded
on the election of a chairperson or on a question of adjournment shall be taken
forthwith.
13.18 Meeting May Continue

----- End of picture text -----

In the case of joint holders of Shares, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote,

IPO/126_30

whether in person or by proxy, attorney or Representative or by Direct Vote, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders and, for this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Shareholders.

13.20 Shareholder under Disability If a Shareholder is of unsound mind or is a person whose person or estate is liable to be dealt with in any way under the law relating to mental health, his committee or trustee or any other person that properly has the management of his estate may exercise any rights of the Shareholder in relation to a general meeting as if the committee, trustee or other person were the Shareholder. 13.21 Payment of Calls A Shareholder is not entitled to any vote at a general meeting unless all calls presently payable by him in respect of Shares have been paid. Nothing in this clause prevents such a Shareholder from voting at a general meeting in relation to any other Shares held by that Shareholder provided all calls and other sums payable by him have been paid on those other Shares. 13.22 Objection to Voting An objection may be raised to the qualification of a voter only at the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered. This objection shall be referred to the chairperson of the meeting, whose decision shall be final. A vote not disallowed pursuant to such an objection is valid for all purposes. 13.23 Restrictions on voting A Shareholder is not entitled to vote on a resolution at a general meeting if they are prevented from doing so by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or this Constitution. The Company must disregard any vote (including a Direct Vote) purported to be cast on a resolution by a Shareholder or a Representative, proxy or attorney in breach of this clause 13.23. 13.24 Proxies A Shareholder who is entitled to attend and cast a vote at a general meeting may appoint a person as the Shareholder’s proxy to attend and vote for the Shareholder at the general meeting. The appointment may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Each Shareholder may appoint a proxy. A Shareholder who is entitled to cast two (2) or more votes at the meeting may appoint 2 proxies. If the Shareholder appoints two (2) proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion of votes that the proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half the votes. Any fraction of votes resulting from the application of this clause 13.23 shall be disregarded. An instrument appointing a proxy: (a) shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney, or, if the appointor is a corporation, executed in accordance with the Corporations Act; (b) may specify the manner in which the proxy is to vote in respect of a particular resolution and, where an instrument of proxy so provides, the proxy is not

IPO/126_30

entitled to vote on the resolution except as specified in the instrument;

(c) shall be deemed to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll;
(d) shall be in such form as the Directors determine and which complies with Division 6 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations Act;

(e) shall not be valid unless the original instrument and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which the instrument is signed, or a copy or facsimile which appears on its face to be an authentic copy of that proxy, power or authority, is or are deposited or sent by facsimile or electronic transmission to the Registered Office, or at such other place (being the place or being in the reasonable proximity of the place at which the meeting is to be held) as is specified for that purpose in the notice convening the meeting (with any Duty paid where necessary), by the time (being not less than 48 hours, unless an earlier time is stipulated in the notice of meeting) prior to the commencement of the meeting (or the resumption of the meeting if the meeting is adjourned and notice is given in accordance with clause 13.10) as shall be specified in the notice convening the meeting (or the notice under clause 13.10, as the case may be); and (f) shall comply with the Listing Rules. 13.25 Electronic Appointment of Proxy For the purposes of clause 13.24, a proxy appointment received at an electronic address will be taken to be signed by the appointor if: (a) a personal identification code allocated by the Company to the appointor has been input into the appointment; (b) the appointment has been verified in another manner approved by the Directors; or (c) is otherwise authenticated in accordance with the Corporations Act. 13.26 Name of proxy A proxy form issued by the Company must allow for the insertion of the name of the person to be primarily appointed as proxy and may provide that, in circumstances and on conditions specified in the form that are not inconsistent with this Constitution, the chairperson of the relevant meeting (or another person specified in the form) is appointed as proxy. 13.27 Incomplete proxy appointment Where an instrument appointing a proxy has been received by the Company within the period specified in clause 13.24(e) and the Company considers that the instrument has not been duly executed or authenticated or is otherwise incomplete (other than by reason only that the name or office of the proxy has not been completed), the board, in its discretion, may:

(a) return the instrument appointing the proxy to the appointing Shareholder; and

IPO/126_30

(b) request that the appointing Shareholder take such steps to complete, sign, execute or authenticate the proxy instrument within the time period notified to the appointing Shareholder.

13.28 No right to speak or vote if appointing Shareholder present

The appointment of a proxy is not revoked by the appointing Shareholder attending and taking part in the meeting, unless the appointing Shareholder actually votes at the meeting on the resolution for which the proxy is proposed to be used, in which case the proxy’s appointment is deemed to be revoked with respect to voting on that resolution. 13.29 Rights where 2 proxies or attorneys are appointed Where a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies or attorneys to vote at the same general meeting: (a) on a show of hands, if more than one proxy or attorney attends, neither may vote; and (b) on a poll, each proxy or attorney may only exercise votes in respect of those shares or voting rights the proxy or attorney represents. 13.30 More than 2 proxies or attorneys appointed If the Company receives notice of the appointment of a proxy or attorney in accordance with this Constitution that results in more than 2 proxies or attorneys being entitled to act at a general meeting then in determining which proxies or attorneys may act at that meeting: (a) a proxy or attorney appointed for that particular meeting may act ahead of any proxy or attorney whose appointment is a standing appointment; and (b) subject to clause 13.30(a) the proxies or attorneys whose appointments are received by the Company most recently in time may act. 13.31 Proxy Votes A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy or attorney is valid notwithstanding the previous death or unsoundness of mind of the principal, the revocation of the instrument (or the authority under which the instrument was executed) or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the instrument or power is given, if no intimation in writing of the death, unsoundness of mind, revocation or transfer has been received by the Company at the Registered Office before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the instrument is used or the power is exercised. 13.32 Representatives of Corporate Shareholders

A body corporate (the appointor ) that is a Shareholder may authorise, in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act, by resolution of its Directors or other governing body, such person or persons as it may determine to act as its Representative at any general meeting of the Company or of any class of Shareholders. A person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and

IPO/126_30

privileges of the appointor as a Shareholder. When a Representative is present at a general meeting of the Company, the appointor shall be deemed to be personally present at the meeting unless the Representative is otherwise entitled to be present at the meeting. The original form of appointment of a Representative, a certified copy of the appointment, or a certificate of the body corporate evidencing the appointment of a Representative is evidence of a Representative having been appointed. 13.33 More than one Representative present If more than one Representative appointed by a Shareholder (and in respect of whose appointment the Company has not received notice of revocation) is present at a general meeting then: (a) a Representative appointed for that particular meeting may act to the exclusion of a Representative whose appointment is a standing appointment; and (b) subject to clause 13.33(a), the Representative appointed most recently in time may act to the exclusion of a Representative appointed earlier. 13.34 Rights of Representatives, proxies and attorneys Subject to clauses 13.23 to 13.33, unless the terms of appointment of a Representative, proxy or attorney provide otherwise, the Representative, proxy or attorney: (a) has the same rights to speak, demand a poll, join in the demanding of a poll or act generally at the meeting as the appointing Shareholder would have if the Shareholder had been present but may not cast a vote by Direct Vote; (b) is taken to have authority to vote on any amendment moved to the proposed resolutions, any motion that the proposed resolutions not be put or any similar motion and any procedural resolution, including any resolution for the election of a chairperson or the adjournment of a general meeting; and (c) may attend and vote at any postponed or adjourned meeting unless the appointing Shareholder gives the Company notice in writing to the contrary not less than 48 hours before the time to which the holding of the meeting has been postponed or adjourned. This clause 13.34 applies even if the terms of appointment of a Representative, proxy or attorney refers to specific resolutions or to a specific meeting to be held at a specific time. (d) The Board may determine that Shareholders may cast votes to which they are entitled on any or all of the resolutions (including any special resolution) proposed to be considered at, and specified in the notice convening, a meeting of Shareholders, by Direct vote. (e) If the Board determines that votes may be cast by Direct Vote, the Board may make such regulations as it considers appropriate for the casting of Direct Votes, including regulations for: IPO/126_30 33

THE DIRECTORS 15.1 Number of Directors The Company shall at all times have at least 3 Directors. The number of Directors shall not exceed 9. Subject to the Corporations Act, the Company may, by ordinary resolution, increase or reduce the number of Directors and may also determine in what rotation the increased or reduced number is to go out of office.

(nominated by the Directors) is entitled to be excluded from any determination of the number of Directors to retire and/or retirement by rotation.

15.3 Election of Directors

Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the Company may elect a person as a Director by resolution passed in general meeting. A Director elected at a general meeting is taken to have been elected with effect immediately after the end of that general meeting unless the resolution by which the Director was appointed or elected specifies a different time. No person other than a Director seeking re-election shall be eligible for election to the office of Director at any general meeting unless the person or some Shareholder intending to propose his or her nomination has, at least 30 Business Days before the meeting, left at the Registered Office a notice in writing duly signed by the nominee giving his or her consent to the nomination and signifying his or her candidature for the office or the intention of the Shareholder to propose the person. Notice of every candidature for election as a Director shall be given to each Shareholder with or as part of the notice of the meeting at which the election is to take place. The Company shall observe the requirements of the Corporations Act with respect to the election of Directors. If the number of nominations exceeds the vacancies available having regard to clause15.1, the order in which the candidates shall be put up for election shall be determined by the drawing of lots supervised by the Directors and once sufficient candidates have been elected to fill up the vacancies available, the remaining candidates shall be deemed defeated without the need for votes to be taken on their election. 15.4 Additional Directors The Directors may at any time appoint a person to be a Director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but so that the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by this Constitution. Any Director, other than a Managing Director, so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting. However, if there is more than one Managing Director, only one of them (nominated by the Directors) is entitled not to be subject to re-election under this clause 15.4. 15.5 Removal of Director The Company may by resolution remove any Director before the expiration of his period of office, and may by resolution appoint another person in his place. The person so appointed is subject to retirement at the same time as if he had become a Director on the day on which the Director in whose place he is appointed was last elected a Director. 15.6 Vacation of Office The office of Director shall automatically become vacant if the Director:

The remuneration of the Managing Director and executive Directors shall be determined by the Directors. Subject to clause 15.8 below, the total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid to the non-executive Directors from time to time will not exceed the sum determined by the Shareholders in general meeting and the total aggregate fixed sum will be divided between the non-executive Directors as the Directors shall determine and, in default of agreement between them, then in equal shares. No non-executive Director shall be paid as part or whole of his remuneration a commission on or a percentage of profits or a commission or a percentage of operating revenue, and no executive Director shall be paid as whole or part of his remuneration a commission on or percentage of operating revenue. The remuneration of a Director shall be deemed to accrue from day to day. Remuneration under this clause 15.7 may be provided in such manner that the Directors decide (including by way of contribution to a superannuation fund on behalf of the Director) and if any part of the fees of any Director is to be provided other than in cash the Directors may determine the manner in which the non-cash component of the fees is to be valued. 15.8 Initial Fees to Non-Executive Directors The total aggregate amount of directors’ fees (as that term is defined under the Listing Rules) ~~fixed sump~~ ayable per annum ~~to be paid t~~ o non-executive Directors in accordance with clause 15.7 shall initially be no more than $ ~~2506~~ 00,000 and may be varied by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting. 15.9 Expenses The Directors shall be entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.

No business shall be transacted at any meeting of Directors unless a quorum is present, comprising two Directors present in person, or by instantaneous communication device, notwithstanding that less than two Directors may be permitted to vote on any particular resolution or resolutions at that meeting for any

Where a Directors' meeting is held and a chairperson has not been elected or is not present at the meeting within 10 minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to begin, the Directors present shall elect one of their number to be the acting chairperson of the meeting. The Directors may elect a Director as deputy chairperson to act as chairperson in the chairperson’s absence. 17.10 Committees The Directors may delegate any of their powers to a committee or committees consisting of such of their number as they think fit. The Directors may at any time revoke any such delegation of power. A committee to which any powers have been so delegated shall exercise the powers delegated in accordance with any directions of the Directors, and a power so exercised shall be deemed to have been exercised by the Directors. The members of such a committee may elect one of their number as chairperson of their meetings. Questions arising at a meeting of a committee shall be determined by a majority of votes of the members present and voting. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairperson shall have a casting vote. The provisions of this Constitution applying to meetings and resolutions of Directors apply, so far as they can and with any necessary changes, to meetings and resolutions of a committee of Directors, except to the extent they are contrary to any direction given under this clause 17.10. 17.11 Written Resolutions A resolution in writing signed by all the Directors for the time being (or their respective alternate Directors), except those Directors (or their alternates) who expressly indicate their abstention in writing to the Company and those who would not be permitted, by virtue of section 195 of the Corporations Act to vote, shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors duly convened and held. This resolution may consist of several documents in like form, each signed by one or more Directors. Copies of the documents to be signed under this clause

IPO/126_30

must be sent to every Director who is entitled to vote on the resolution. The resolution is taken to have been passed when the last Director signs the relevant documents. A facsimile transmission, an email bearing the signature of the Director or an email of the Director addressed to another officer of the Company confirming agreement with the resolution and undertaking to sign the resolution as soon as practicable shall be deemed to be a document in writing signed by the Directors.

17.12 Defective Appointment All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of Directors or by any person acting as a Director are, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of a person to be, or to act as, a Director, or that a person so appointed was disqualified, as valid as if the person had been duly appointed and was qualified to be a Director or to be a member of the committee. 17.13 Directors May Hold Other Offices A Director may hold any other office or place of profit in or in relation to the Company or a related body corporate of the Company (except that of auditor) in conjunction with his or her office of Director and on any terms as to remuneration or otherwise that the Directors shall approve. 17.14 Directors May Hold Shares, etc. A Director may be or become a shareholder in or director of or hold any other office or place of profit in or in relation to any other company promoted by the Company or a related body corporate of the Company or in which the Company may be interested, whether as a vendor, shareholder or otherwise. 17.15 Directors Not Accountable for Benefits No Director shall be accountable for any benefits received as the holder of any other office or place of profit in or in relation to the Company or any other company referred to in clause 17.14 or as a shareholder in or director of any such company. 17.16 Disclosure of Interests in Related Matters As required by the Corporations Act, a Director must give the Directors notice of any material personal interest in a matter that relates to the affairs of the Company. No Director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company whether as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or any contract or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director shall be in any way interested be avoided or prejudiced on that account, nor shall any Director be liable to account to the Company for any profit arising from any such contract or agreement by reason only of such Director holding that office or of the fiduciary relationship thereby established. A Director who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of Directors must not be present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or vote on that matter except where permitted by the Corporations Act. Nothing in this Constitution shall be read or construed so as to place on a Director any restrictions other than those required by the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.

The Directors may rescind a decision to pay a dividend if they decide, before the payment date, that the Company’s financial position no longer justifies the payment. 23.2 Interim Dividend The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends that they may determine. 23.3 No Interest No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company.

IPO/126_30

application of the reserves, the Directors may invest or use the reserves in the business of the Company or in other investments as they think fit.

For the purposes of this clause, the Company is authorised to distribute securities of another body corporate by way of dividend and, on behalf of the Shareholders, provide the consent of each Shareholder to becoming a Shareholder of that body corporate and the agreement of each Shareholder to being bound by the constitution of that body corporate. 23.7 Shareholders entitled to dividend Subject to this Constitution, a dividend in respect of a Share is payable to the person registered as the holder of that share: (a) if the Directors have fixed a time for determining entitlements to the dividend, at that time; and

BONUS SHARE PLAN 25.1 Authorisation of Bonus Share Plan Subject to the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by ordinary resolution in general meeting, authorise the Directors to implement a Bonus Share Plan on such terms and conditions as are referred to in the resolution and which plan provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time under clause 23, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to this Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, not to be payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the Bonus Share Plan but for those Shares to carry instead an entitlement to receive an allotment of additional fully paid ordinary Shares to be issued as bonus Shares. 25.2 Amendment and Revocation Any resolution passed by the Company in general meeting pursuant to clause 25.1 may, at any time, be amended or revoked by the Company by ordinary resolution in general meeting. 26.
