EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T

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 2022 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.kaiserreef.com.au/.

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.

7

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 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – STEWART HOWE

3.1 General

Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Stewart Howe, who has served as a Director since 10 February 2021 and was last re-elected on 17 November 2021, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Howe has more than 30 years’ experience in the global resources industry including the last 18 years in mining. Stewart spent 6 years as Chief Development Officer of Zinifex Limited, where he directed the spin-off of Zinifex’s smelters to create Nyrstar N.V. and restarted development of Dugald River Mine now owned by MMG. During the past 12 years Mr Howe has provided advisory roles to boards, private equity and financiers related to restructuring and acquisition of mining assets in base metals and bulk commodities. Mr Howe is an experienced director, chairing the board of Whittle Consulting Group and serving on the board of ASX listed Galena Mining Limited.

3.3 Independence

If re-elected the Board considers Stewart Howe will be a non-independent Director.

3.4 Board recommendation

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

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

4.1 General

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.

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 ).

8

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 $24,762,094 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 6 October 2022).

Resolution 3 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 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 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 3:

(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

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 4.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

9

(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 ongoing development costs at the A1 gold mine, exploration of the Maldon project and 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 3 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 30 September 2022.

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:

There are currently 141,497,682 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice;

  1. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 6 October 2022 (being $0.175).

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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

10

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.

  1. 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.

  2. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.

  3. 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%.

  4. 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;

  • (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 17 November 2022 ( Previous Approval ).

11

During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 14 November 2022, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

4.3 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.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – ADOPTION OF EMPLOYEE SECURITIES INCENTIVE PLAN

5.1 General

Resolution 4 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 14,149,768 securities 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.

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

Broadly speaking, and 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 4 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 stated in Section 5.3(b) below) 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 4 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of securities will

12

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.

5.3 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 1:

  • (a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Plan is set out in Schedule 1;

  • (b) the Company has issued 900,000 securities under its previous plan titled “Performance Rights And Option Plan” which was adopted in 2019;

  • (c) The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the Plan to:

  • (i) allow the Company to have the option to issue Shares; and

  • (ii) include the new 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 14,149,768 securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION

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

Resolution 5 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to amend its existing Constitution ( Amended Constitution ) to include a new provision (clause 14) to permit the use of technology at general meetings (including wholly virtual meetings) to the extent permitted under the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and applicable law.

A copy of the Amended Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the office of the Company. A copy of the Amended Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

7. RESOLUTION 6 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – SHAWN PANTON

7.1 General

On 15 February 2022, the Company issued 400,000 Shares to Shawn Panton in consideration for Mr Panton’s expanded role as the Chief Mine Geologist at the A1 Mine and all exploration across Maldon Project ( Geologist Shares ).

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 12 month period.

13

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company’s ability 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 3 being passed at this Meeting.

The issue of the Geologist 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 Geologist 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 Geologist Shares.

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

7.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Geologist 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 Geologist Shares.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Geologist 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 Geologist Shares.

It is noted that the Company’s ability 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 3 being passed at this Meeting.

7.3 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 Geologist Shares were issued to Shawn Panton;

  • (b) 400,000 Geologist Shares were issued and the Geologist 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;

14

  • (c) the Geologist Shares were issued on 15 February 2022;

  • (d) the Geologist Shares were issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for Mr Panton’s expanded role as the Chief Mine Geologist at the A1 Mine and all exploration across Maldon Project. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Geologist Shares;

  • (e) the purpose of the issue of the Geologist Shares was to provide appropriate consideration to Mr Panton for his expanded role; and

  • (f) the Geologist Shares were not issued under an agreement.

8. RESOLUTION 7 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES – ANDY TRAN, DYLAN MORGAN AND TOM DE VRIES

8.1 General

On 15 February 2022, the Company issued a total of 370,000 Shares as follows:

  • (a) 100,000 Shares to Andy Tran (or his nominee),

  • (b) 120,000 Shares to Dylan Morgan (or his nominee), and

  • (c) 150,000 Shares to Tom De Vries (or his nominee,

( Senior Employees ) in consideration the role of the Senior Employees played in the achievement of gold production milestones by the Company ( Milestone Shares ).

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 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company’s ability 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 3 being passed at this Meeting.

The issue of the Milestone 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 Milestone 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

15

Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Milestone Shares.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Milestone Shares.

8.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Milestone 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 Milestone Shares.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Milestone 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 Milestone Shares.

It is noted that the Company’s ability 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 3 being passed at this Meeting.

8.3 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 7:

  • (a) the Milestone Shares were issued to Andy Tran, Dylan Morgan and Tom De Vries;

  • (b) 370,000 Milestone Shares were issued (100,000 Milestone Shares to Andy Tran, 120,000 Milestone Shares to Dylan Morgan and 150,000 Milestone Shares to Tom De Vries) and the Milestone 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 Milestone Shares were issued on 16 June 2022;

  • (d) the Milestone Shares were issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for the role of the Senior Employees played in the achievement of gold production milestones by the Company. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Milestone Shares;

  • (e) the purpose of the issue of the Milestone Shares was to provide appropriate consideration to the Senior Employees; and

  • (f) the Milestone Shares were not issued under an agreement.

9. RESOLUTION 8 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS - EUROSWISS EQUITY GROUP

9.1 General

The Company engaged the services of Euroswiss Equity Group, to provide investor marketing and business development services to the Company ( Consulting Services ). The Company agreed to pay Euroswiss Equity Group a fee of $4,000

16

per month and agreed to issue Euroswiss Equity Group (or its nominee) 750,000 Options on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2 ( Consulting Agreement ). The Consulting Agreement otherwise contains standard terms for an agreement of its nature.

On 7 September 2022, the Company issued 750,000 Options in consideration for Consulting Services provided by Euroswiss Equity Group ( Consultant Options ).

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 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company’s ability 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 3 being passed at this Meeting.

The issue of the Consultant 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 Consultant 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.

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 Consultant Options.

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Consultant Options.

9.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 8 is passed, the Consultant 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 Consultant Options.

If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Consultant 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 Consultant Options.

17

It is noted that the Company’s ability 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 3 being passed at this Meeting.

9.3 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 8:

  • (a) the Consultant Options were issued to Euroswiss Capital Partners Inc.;

  • (b) 750,000 Consultant Options were issued and the Consultant Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 2;

  • (c) the Consultant Options were issued on 7 September 2022;

  • (d) the Consultant Options were issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for investor marketing and business development services provided by Euroswiss Equity Group. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Consultant Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Consultant Options);

  • (e) the purpose of the issue of the Consultant Options was to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Consulting Agreement; and

  • (f) the Consultant Options were issued to Euroswiss Equity Group under the Consulting Agreement. A summary of the material terms of the Consulting Agreement is set out in Section 9.1.

10. RESOLUTION 9 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTY – STEWART HOWE

10.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 200,000 Shares ( Bonus Shares ) to Stewart Howe (or their nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below.

Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Bonus Shares to Stewart Howe (or their nominee).

10.2 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 Bonus Shares to Stewart Howe (or their nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Stewart Howe is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

18

The Directors (other than Stewart Howe who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Bonus Shares because the agreement to issue the Bonus Shares, reached as part of the remuneration package for Stewart Howe, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

10.3 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 Bonus Shares 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 9 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Bonus Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

10.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Bonus Shares to Stewart Howe 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 Bonus Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Bonus Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Bonus Shares and the Company will need to consider alternative options to remunerate Stewart Howe.

10.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 9:

19

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to Stewart Howe (or their nominee), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Stewart Howe is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued to Stewart Howe (or their nominee) is 200,000;

  • (c) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the 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) and it is anticipated the Shares will be issued on the same date;

  • (e) the issue price will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Bonus Shares is to reward Stewart Howe’s performance and to provide cost effective remuneration to Stewart Howe, enabling 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 Stewart Howe;

  • (g) the current total remuneration package for Stewart Howe is $70,418, comprising of salary of $133,333, a superannuation payment of $13,333, leave entitlements of $9,062 and share-based payments of $(85,310)[1] . If the Bonus Shares are issued, the total remuneration package of Stewart Howe will increase by $36,000 to $106,418, being the value of the Bonus Shares (based on the Company’s closing share price of $0.18 on 13 May 2022, being the date the Board determined (subject to shareholder approval) to issue the Bonus Shares);

  • (h) the Shares are not being issued under an agreement; and

  • (i) a voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 8 of the Notice.

1 Included within the balance is a reversal of ($24,164) in relation to Tranche A & B Performance Rights which were held by Stewart Howe which lapsed during the year. A further $5,121 is included in the balance relating to ongoing vesting of Tranche C & D Performance Rights, including the revaluation of these rights. Included within the balance is a reversal of ($66,267) in relation to the fair value of options held by Stewart Howe. Refer to Page 10 of the Company’s Annual Report released on 3 October 2022 for further information.

SCHEDULE 1 – TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE COMPANY’S EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SECURITIES PLAN

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.
Participantmeans an Eligible Participant who has been granted
any Security under the Plan.
Purpose The purpose of the Plan is to:
1.1.1
assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible
Participants;
1.1.2
link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value
creation; and
1.1.3
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 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)
Options and Performance Rights 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.

23

Rights attaching to
securities
Prior to an Option or Performance Right being exercised, the
holder:
(a)
does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in
any Share the subject of the convertible security other than
as expressly set out in the Plan;
(a)
is not entitled to receive notice of, vote at or attend a
meeting of the shareholders of the Company;
(b)
is not entitled to receive any dividends declared by the
Company; and
(c)
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 applicable to the Options or Performance
Rights 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 securities have vested. Unless and until the
vesting notice is issued by the Company, the securities will not be
considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the
vesting conditions relevant to an Option or Performance Right are
not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that security
will lapse.
Exercise
of
convertible
securities
and
cashless exercise
To exercise a security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice
of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise (see next paragraph
below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the
Company, at any time following vesting of the Option or
Performance Right (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the
expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice.
An invitation to apply for Options may specify that at the time of
exercise of the Options, the Participant may elect not to be
required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number
of Options specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of
those Options 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 Options.
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.
An Option or a Performance Right may not be exercised unless and
until that 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 an Option or a
Performance Right 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 securities held
by that Participant.

24

Restrictions on
dealing with
securities
A holder may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over
or otherwise deal with an Option or a Performance Right 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 an Option or a Performance
Right that has been granted to them.
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
An Option or a Performance Right 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
Options and Performance Rights will be forfeited in the following
circumstances:
(a)
where a Participant who holds Options or Performance
Rights 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 of the Options or Performance Rights.
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 Options or
Performance Rights 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 Options or Performance Rights
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 Options or Performance Rights is
entitled, upon exercise of those 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 Options or Performance Rights are exercised.

25

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Options or
Performance Rights does not have the right to participate in a pro
rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable
rights.
Rights attaching to
Shares
All Shares issued or transferred under the Plan or issued or
transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of an Option or
a Performance Right, 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 Shares. A Participant will be
entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the
Company on the Shares issued upon exercise of an Option or a
Performance Right and may participate in any dividend
reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Shares.
A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Shares
issued under the Plan.
Disposal restrictions
on Shares
If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid
exercise of an Option or a Performance Right 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 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 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 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, Shares
issued on exercise of an Option or a Performance Rights 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 Shares issued to a holder upon exercise of an Option or a
Performance Right 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 Options or Performance Rights and Shares issued upon
exercise of Options or Performance Rights 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
securities for holders under the Plan and delivering Shares on behalf
of holders upon exercise of Options or Performance Rights.

26

Maximum
number
of securities
The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan which
involves monetary consideration if the number of Shares that may
be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Options or Performance
Rights 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) – refer to
Resolution 4 and Section 5.3(d).
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.

SCHEDULE 2 – TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF $0.30 UNLISTED OPTIONS EXPIRING ON 5 SEPTEMBER 2025

The following is a summary of the key terms and conditions of Unlisted Options

(a) Entitlement

Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of the Option.

(b) Exercise Price

Subject to paragraph (j), the amount payable upon exercise of each Option is $0.30 ( Exercise Price ).

(c) Expiry Date

Each Option will expire at 5:00 pm (WST) on 5 September 2025 ( Expiry Date ). An Option not exercised before the Expiry Date will automatically lapse on the Expiry Date.

(d) Exercise Period

The Options are exercisable at any time following the date of issue and will expire on the Expiry Date ( Exercise Period ).

(e) Notice of Exercise

The Options may be exercised during the Exercise Period by notice in writing to the Company in the manner specified on the Option certificate ( Notice of Exercise ) and payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised in Australian currency by electronic funds transfer or other means of payment acceptable to the Company.

(f) Exercise Date

A Notice of Exercise is only effective on and from the later of the date of receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the date of receipt of the payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised in cleared funds ( Exercise Date ).

(g) Consideration

No consideration has been paid for Options.

(h) Timing of issue of Shares on exercise

Within 15 Business Days after the Exercise Date, the Company will:

  • (i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Options specified in the Notice of Exercise and for which cleared funds have been received by the Company;

  • (ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and

28

  • (iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options.

If a notice delivered under paragraph (h)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.

(i) Shares issued on exercise

Shares issued on exercise of the Options rank equally with the then issued shares of the Company.

(j) Reconstruction of capital

If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of an Optionholder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reconstruction.

(k) Participation in new issues

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options without exercising the Options.

(l) Change in exercise price

An Option does not confer the right to a change in Exercise Price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the Option can be exercised.

(m) Transferability

The Options are transferable subject to any restriction or escrow arrangements imposed by ASX or under applicable Australian securities laws.
