Dear Elizabeth,

Cyclone Metals Ltd (ASX: CLE) – Appendix 3Y Query

Further to your request for information in your letter dated 27 May 2022 in relation to the Appendix 3Y lodged by Cyclone Metals Limited ASX: CLE) ( Cyclone or the Company ) on the ASX Announcement platform on 23 May 2022, I provide the following responses to your queries:

1. Please explain why the Appendix 3Y was lodged late

The change in the Director’s notifiable interests had not been disclosed within 5 business days via Appendix 3Y, due to an administrative oversight. The Company took immediate steps to address this oversight on realization that the Appendix 3Y had not been lodged within the prescribed period.

The subject of this query relates to changes in Will Scott’s notifiable interests which occurred on 11 January 2022. The transaction involved the transfer of 20,000,000 fully paid shares from Will Scott to Warrambu Pty Ltd , an entity in which Mr Scott has a relevant interest. The change did not involve any onmarket transactions.

2. What arrangement does CLE have in place under Listing Rule 3.19B with its directors to ensure that it is able to meet its disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 3.19A

The Company has arrangements in place with its Directors that require the Directors to notify the Company of share transactions within 3 business days of such a transaction. The Company’s formals Securities Trading Policy is available at its website at: https://cyclonemetals.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/210921-SecuritiesTrading-Policy.pdf. The notices were lodged immediately upon the oversight being identified.

3. If the current arrangements are inadequate or not being enforced, what additional steps does CLE intend to take to ensure compliance with Listing Rule 3.19B?

The Board believes that the current reporting arrangements are sufficient and ensure Directors are aware of their obligations to disclose all the information required by the Company to give ASX completed Appendix 3Y within the time period allowed by listing rules 3.19A and 3.19B.

Regards,

Melissa Chapman Cyclone Metals Limited Company Secretary

Dear Ms Chapman

Cyclone Metal Limited (‘CLE’): Appendix 3Y – Change of Director’s Interest Notice Query

ASX refers to the following:

  1. CLE’s Appendix 3Y lodged on the ASX Market Announcements Platform (‘MAP’) on 23 May 2022 for Mr Will Scott (the ‘Notice’);

  2. Listing Rule 3.19A which requires an entity to tell ASX the following:

3.19A.1 ‘The notifiable interests of a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust) at the following times.

  • On the date that the entity is admitted to the official list.

  • On the date that a director is appointed.

The entity must complete Appendix 3X and give it to ASX no more than 5 business days after the entity’s admission or a director’s appointment.

3.19A.2 A change to a notifiable interest of a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust) including whether the change occurred during a closed period where prior written clearance was required and, if so, whether prior written clearance was provided. The entity must complete Appendix 3Y and give it to ASX no more than 5 business days after the change occurs.

3.19A.3 The notifiable interests of a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust) at the date that the director ceases to be a director. The entity must complete Appendix 3Z and give it to ASX no more than 5 business days after the director ceases to be a director.’

  1. Listing rule 3.19B which states that:

‘An entity must make such arrangements as are necessary with a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust) to ensure that the director discloses to the entity all the information required by the entity to give ASX completed Appendices 3X, 3Y and 3Z within the time period allowed by listing rule 3.19.A. The entity must enforce the arrangements with the director.’

The Notice indicates that a change in Mr Scott’s notifiable interest occurred on 11 January 2022. It appears that the Notice should have been lodged with ASX by 18 January 2022. Consequently, CLE may have breached Listing Rules 3.19A and/or 3.19B. It also appears that Mr Scott may have breached section 205G of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
