EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.cyclonemetals.com.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2

Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

5375-02/3080956_6

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR PAUL BEREND

3.1 General

The Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Pursuant to the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

Mr Paul Berend, having been appointed by other Directors on 1 May 2023 in accordance with the Constitution, will retire in accordance with the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 and being eligible, seeks election from Shareholders.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Paul brings over 20 years of experience in the iron ore and steel industry acquired in blue chip as well as junior mining companies worldwide. His previous corporate roles include GM Business Development for Rio Tinto Iron Ore and GM Corporate Strategy for ArcelorMittal, the world’s largest steel producer. He has also worked for Hatch (director advisory services for Australasia), McKinsey & Company and Partners In Performance.

Paul has a successful track record in identifying and developing early-stage mining projects and is the founder and historic CEO of Trans-Tasman Resources Ltd (a titano-magnetite project in New Zealand ASX: MKR). He has worked extensively with private equity and specialised funds to identify and develop early-stage mining projects and turn around undervalued producing mineral assets. Paul’s successful track record in the iron ore industry, and specifically in the development of early-stage magnetite deposits, will be a key success driver for the development of Block 103.

Paul has a MBA from HEC (Paris, France), a MSc and DEA (~PhD) in chemical process design and chemistry from ENSIC (Nancy, France), a bachelor’s in applied mathematics and algebra from Harvard University and is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

3.3

Independence

Mr Paul Berend is CEO and Executive Director of the Company and does not meet the Company’s criteria for independence.

3.4

Other material information

The Company undertook appropriate checks prior to the appointment of Mr Paul Berend in accordance with its Director selection and appointment policy.

5375-02/3080956_6

9

Mr Paul Berend has confirmed that he considers he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as CEO and Executive Director of the Company and does not consider that any other commitment will interfere with his availability to perform his duties for the Company.

3.5 Board recommendation

The Board has reviewed Mr Berend’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that his skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the election of Mr Paul Berend and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR WILL SCOTT

4.1 General

Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 13.2 of the Constitution provide that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without reelection) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or three years, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled to be exempt from this rotation requirement.

Mr Will Scott, who has served as a Director since 1 September 2021 and was last re-elected on 30 November 2021, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

4.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr William Scott spent 39 years as the owner/manager of pastoral properties in the Murchison Region of Western Australia where he successfully integrated prospecting and earth moving into his business model, as the owner and executive director of Wyn Contracting Pty Ltd.

In 2012 Mr Scott relocated and integrated the earth moving component of his business to Karratha assuming the role of Operations Manager at Nickol River Fill Pty Ltd, establishing a successful sand and rock quarry. In 2016 Mr Scott focussed his attention to small scale mining and prospecting, with joint venture partnerships in the Karratha area of the West Pilbara. He has successfully explored and identified primary resource ore bodies as well as recovering substantial quantities of gold in alluvial/eluvial style, in both gold nugget and gold specimen form.

Mr Scott has undertaken extensive mapping of gold discovery locations, with the use of technologies such as Sub Audio Magnetics (SAM), which has identified primary gold ore bodies in the West Pilbara.

4.3

Independence

If re-elected the Board considers Mr Will Scott not to be an independent Director.

4.4

Board recommendation

The Board has reviewed Mr Scott’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that his skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Mr Will Scott and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

5375-02/3080956_6

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

5.1 General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX 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.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $10,264,505 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 16 October 2023, which was $0.001).

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 4 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 Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

5.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid

The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).

(b) Minimum price

5375-02/3080956_6

11

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash consideration at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 5.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(c)

Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate

The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for the development of its Block 103 Project and for general working capital.

(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 16 October 2023.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 10,264,504,927 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 16 October 2023 (being $0.001).

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  6. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1, or at the meeting of Shareholders held pursuant to this Notice, unless otherwise disclosed.

  8. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  9. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

5375-02/3080956_6

13

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 30 November 2022 ( Previous Approval ).

The Company did not make any issues pursuant to its Previous Approval in the 12 months prior to the Meeting.

5.3

Voting Exclusion Statement

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUES

6.1 Background

On 17 January 2023, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Gambosch Consulting Pty Ltd ( Gambosch ) for the provision of consulting services covering the period 17 January 2023 to 28 February 2023 ( Initial Gambosch Consulting Agreement ).

On 20 March 2023, the Company entered into a second consulting agreement with Gambosch for the provision of consulting services covering the period 1 March 2023 to 30 April 2023 ( Second Gambosch Consulting Agreement ).

The services provided under the Initial Gambosch Consulting Agreement and Second Gambosch Consulting Agreement were in relation to the acquisition of Block 103, including the development of an actionable development plan and providing strategic, operational and/or technical advice on Block 103.

In April 2023 the Company issued a total of 26,400,000 Shares to Gambosch pursuant to the terms of the Initial Gambosch Consulting Agreement and Second Gambosch Consulting Agreement ( Gambosch Shares ).

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 5.1.

The issue of the Gambosch Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 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 date of issue of the Gambosch Shares.

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

5375-02/3080956_6

14

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 that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Gambosch Shares.

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Gambosch Shares.

6.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Gambosch Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Gambosch Shares.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Gambosch Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Gambosch Shares.

It is noted that the Company’s ability to continue to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 4 being passed at this Meeting.

6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 5:

  • (a) the Company agreed to issue the Gambosch Shares to Gambosch under the Initial Gambosch Consulting Agreement and the Second Gambosch Consulting Agreements. At the time of those agreements, Gambosch was not a related party to the Company or otherwise a person to whom Listing Rule 10.11 applied;

  • (b) the Gambosch Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (c) a total of 26,400,000 Shares were issued of which 19,800,000 were issued on 17 April 2023 and 6,600,000 issued on 28 April 2023;

  • (d) the Gambosch Shares were issued at a deemed issue price of $0.0025 each.

  • (e) No funds were raised from the issue of the Gambosch Shares;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Gambosch Shares was to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Initial Gambosh Consulting Agreement and the Second Gambosch Consulting Agreement as set out in Section 6.1.

7. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUES

7.1 Background

On 14 December 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement and received funds of $500,000 from European Lithium Ltd (ASX: EUR) ( EUR ). On 20 June 2022, the Company entered into a second loan agreement and received funds of $500,000 from EUR and accrued interest of 5% per annum

On 17 August 2022, the Company entered into a third loan agreement and received funds of $500,000 from EUR and accrued interest of 5% per annum.

7.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 5.1.

The issue of the EUR Conversion Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 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 date of issue of the EUR Conversion Shares.

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 that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the EUR Conversion Shares.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the EUR Conversion Shares.

7.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 6 is passed, the EUR Conversion Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively

increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the EUR Conversion Shares.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the EUR Conversion Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the EUR Conversion Shares.

It is noted that the Company’s ability to continue to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 4 being passed at this Meeting.

7.4

Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6:

  • (a) the EUR Conversion Shares were issued to EUR, which is not a related party to the Company or otherwise a person to whom Listing Rule 10.11 applies;

  • (b) the EUR Conversion Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (c) the EUR Conversion Shares were issued on 2 June 2023;

  • (d) the EUR Conversion Shares were issued at a deemed issue price of $0.002 each;

8. RESOLUTION 7 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUES

8.1 Background

On 13 October 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Winance Investment LLC ( Winance ), a company with a registered address in the UAE ( Winance Agreement ). Under the Winance Agreement, the Company agreed to issue Winance 100,000,000 Options ( Winance Options ) on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 3 in consideration for the provision of marketing and promotional services by Winance to the Company. The primary objective of the agreement was to increase the Company’s prominence within the Gulf Cooperation Council region to potential investors.

8.2 Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 5.1.

5375-02/3080956_6

17

The issue of the Winance Options does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 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 date of issue of the Winance Options.

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 that rule.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Winance Options.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Winance Options.

8.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Winance Options will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the EUR Conversion Shares.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Winance Options will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Winance Options.

9. RESOLUTION 8 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTY

9.1 General

As announced on 16 October 2023, the Company has entered an agreement with Tony Sage (or his respective nominees) under which, subject to shareholder approval, the Company has agreed to issue an aggregate 146,666,640 Shares, at a deemed issue price of $0.001 each, in lieu of payment of outstanding directors’ fees totalling $293,333.28 ( Fee Shares ).

Mr Tony Sage is herein referred to as the Related Party .

The Fee Shares are proposed to be issued to the Related Party (or his respective nominees) as follows:

Related Party Outstanding directors’
fees owed
Fee Shares proposed to
be issued
Okewood Pty Ltd1 $293,333.286 146,666,640

Notes :

  1. An entity controlled by Director, Mr Sage.

  2. 50% of the outstanding executive chairman fees owed for the 8 month period between March 2023 and October 2023.

The issue of the Fee Shares to the Related Party (or his respective nominees) is subject to Shareholder approval being obtained at this Meeting, pursuant to Resolution 8.

9.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of Fee Shares to the Related Party constitutes giving a financial benefit and the Related Party is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Board believes that the issue of the Fee Shares constitutes reasonable remuneration to an officer of the Company, on arm’s length terms. However, in the interest of good governance, the Board believes it is appropriate to give Shareholders the right to vote on Resolution 8 in the manner set out under sections

5375-02/3080956_6

19

217 to 227 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Fee Shares to the Related Party is sought in that manner.

9.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 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;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of the Fee Shares to the Related Party falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and as required by Listing Rule 10.11.

9.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Fee Shares to the Related Party within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Fee Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Fee Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Fee Shares and the Company the Company will be required to consider other mechanisms to properly remunerate the Related Party, including the payment of the relevant director’s fees in cash, which may not be as cost effective for the Company.

9.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 8:

5375-02/3080956_6

20

  • (a) a maximum of 146,666,640 Fee Shares will be issued to Okewood Pty Ltd, an entity controlled by Director, Mr Sage which falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.4 by virtue of being an entity associated with a Director,

  • (b) the issue price of the Fee Shares will be nil as the Fee Shares are being issued at a deemed issue price of $0.001 per Fee Share in lieu of outstanding directors’ fees totalling $293,333.28 accrued and owing to the Related Party for the period between March 2023 and October 2023.

  • (c) the deemed issue price per Fee Share was determined based upon the last closing price of Shares on the ASX immediately prior to the announcement on 16 October 2023 (being $0.001 per Share);

  • (d) the Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Fee Shares. However, the issue of the Fee Shares will result in the Company converting debt owing to the Related Parties to equity;

  • (e) the purpose of the issue of the Fee Shares is to preserve the cash reserves of the Company and convert debt accrued and owing to the Related Party (being, the outstanding directors’ fees for the period between March 2023 and October 2023) to equity.

  • (f) the Fee Shares proposed to be issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, ranking equally in all respects with existing shares on issue;

  • (g) the Fee Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (h) the current relevant interests of the Related Party and his total remuneration package for the previous financial year and the current financial year are set out in Sections 11.3(i) and Section 11.3(k).

  • (i) if the Fee Shares issued to the Related Party are exercised, a total of 146,666,640 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 10,264,504,927 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 10,411,171,567 (assuming that no Shares are issued and no Options are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 1.41%;

  • (j) the Board is not aware of any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolution 8; and

  • (k) the Fee Shares are being issued under an agreement between the Company and the Related Party pursuant to which the Company and the Related Party has agreed, subject to shareholder approval, to convert the outstanding director fees set out in Section 9.1 above into Shares at a deemed conversion price of $0.001.

The above equity securities are to be issued to the above individuals for nil cash consideration as incentive based remuneration in connection with their roles of the Company. The Board considers the exercise price which has been set against each close of Incentive Options is a way of aligning the interests of the Directors with those of Shareholders. The Board further considers the incentives represented by the grant of the above equity securities are a cost effective and efficient way for the Company to appropriately incentivise and reward the performance of these individuals and assist with retaining and motivating them in their current roles whilst the Company focuses on advancing its flagship Block 103 project.

11. RESOLUTIONS 9 TO 12 – ISSUE OF INCENTIVE OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS

11.1 Introduction

As detailed in Section 10.1 above, the Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to grant 700,000,000 Incentive Options (with varying exercise and expiry dates) to Tony Sage, Paul Berend, Will Scott and Tim Turner or their nominees.

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions) issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party without the approval of shareholders. Mr Sage, Mr Berend, Mr Scott and Mr Turner are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Their nominees are also related parties of the Company by virtue of being entities controlled by Directors of the Company. The grant of the Incentive Options to the Directors or their nominees will fall within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. The issue therefore requires Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 9 to 12 seek the required Shareholder approval to grant the Incentive Options to the Directors (or their nominees) under and for the purposes of 10.11. If Resolutions 9 to 12 are passed, the Company will issue the Incentive Options to the Directors (or their nominees). If Resolutions 9 to 12 are not passed, the Company will not issue the Incentive Options to the Directors or their nominees and will need to determine an alternative form of incentives for them.

11.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 9.2.

The issue of the Incentive Options to the Directors (or their nominees) pursuant to Resolutions 9 to 12 constitutes the giving of a financial benefit and the Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being directors.

As the Incentive Options are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors (or their nominees), the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Incentive Options. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Options is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

11.3 Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act:

(a) The Incentive Options will be issued to the following persons:

(i) Okewood Pty Ltd (an entity controlled by Tony Sage) pursuant to Resolution 8;

(ii) Paul Berend as trustee for Tangaroa Trust (an entity controlled by Paul Berend) pursuant to Resolution 9;

(iii) Wyn Contracting Pty Ltd (an entity controlled by Will Scott) pursuant to Resolution 10; and

The market price for Shares during the term of the Incentive Options would normally determine whether the Incentive Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Incentive Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Incentive Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company.

12.3 Voting Exclusion Statement

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

13. RESOLUTION 14 – AMENDMENT OF CONSTITUTION

13.1 Background

Section 136(2) of the Corporations Act provides that a company can modify its constitution by a special resolution.

Resolution 14 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

A copy of the amended constitution will be available for inspection by the Shareholders at the Meeting.

13.2 Renewal of Clause 36 - Partial (proportional) takeover provisions

Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 14 is being sought for the purpose of renewing the Partial Takeover Plebiscites contained in clause 36 of the Constitution and specifically pursuant to clause 36.6 of the Constitution.

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s shares.

Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, the Constitution currently includes a provision whereby a proportional takeover bid for Shares may only

5375-02/3080956_6

29

proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of Shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.

This clause of the Constitution ceases to have effect on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption of last renewal of the clause. The Constitution was last adopted on 30 November 2020 and as such, clause 36 is required to be renewed for it to still take effect.

Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act

Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions

Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed.

Reasons for proportional takeover provisions

A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.

Knowledge of any acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions

The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (a) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;

  • (b) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority;

  • (c) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and

  • (d) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.

5375-02/3080956_6

30

The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (a) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;

  • (b) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and

  • (c) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.

13.3

Board recommendation

The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of renewing the proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that the proportional takeover provision in the Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 14.
