KORE POTASH PROM THE GROUND UP

Kore Potash plc

United Kingdom

12 May 2025

Kore Potash plc

("Kore Potash" or "the Company")

Notice of 2025 Annual General Meeting

Kore Potash (AIM: KP2, ASX: KP2, JSE: KP2), the potash development company with 97%-ownership of the Kola Potash Project ("Kola" or the "Kola Project") and Dougou Extension ("DX") Potash Project in the Sintoukola Basin, located in the Republic of Congo ("RoC"), is pleased to advise that the Company will be holding its 2025 Annual General Meeting ("AGM" or the "Meeting") at 09.30 (UK time) on 11 June 2025 at 107 Cheapside, Second Floor, London EC2V 6DN.

Shareholders are reminded that as outlined in the announcements dated 21 March 2025 and 2 April 2025, David Hathorn's proposed US$0.5 million (£0.38 million) subscription to the recent fundraise via two separate trusts, the Belle Terre Trust and Stapleford Trust is tabled for approval by shareholders at the Meeting.

Subject to receipt of shareholder approval, 11,322,464 new ordinary Shares of US$0.001 in the Company will be issued to the Belle Terre Trust and 11,322,464 new ordinary Shares of US$0.001 in the Company will be issued to the Stapleford Trust, resulting in 22,644,928 new ordinary shares being issued in aggregate.

We look forward to being able to welcome Shareholders in person to this year's Meeting. However, whilst Shareholders will be permitted to attend in person, in order to reduce travel costs, it is likely that a limited number of Directors, if any, will be present at the venue, although most will dial-in to the Meeting via an electronic audio webcast. The Company will therefore also offer Shareholders the option to participate in the Meeting remotely via the electronic audio webcast.

Whilst Shareholders attending in person will be able to vote at the Meeting, those attending via the webcast will not be able to do so. Therefore, as in previous years the Board has decided that voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the Meeting will be decided by way of a poll as this means that every Shareholder present in person or by proxy will have one vote for every Share held. Accordingly, we would strongly encourage all Shareholders to vote electronically again this year and to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy rather than a named person. All valid proxy votes, whether submitted electronically or in hard copy form, will be included in the polls to be taken at the Meeting and should be submitted by no later than 09.30 (UK time) on 9 June 2025.

The Board understands that beyond voting on the formal business, the Meeting also serves as a forum for Shareholders to raise questions with the Board and we wish to continue to afford Shareholders that opportunity again this year. Therefore, we request that you submit any questions that you may have by e-mail to [email protected] by no later than 09.30 (UK time) on 10 June 2025 and we will endeavour to provide answers on our website.

Additionally, shareholders will be able to listen to the formal business of the AGM via webcast. An announcement providing dial-details for the webcast will be issued in due course and will be available on our website www.korepotash.com.

Notice of 2025 Annual General Meeting

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to be writing to you with details of our 2025 Annual General Meeting (the "Meeting"), which will be held at 107 Cheapside, Second Floor, London EC2V 6DN on 11 June 2025 at 09:30 (UK time) / 10:30 (South African ("SA") time) / 16:30 (Western Australian ("WA") time). The Notice of Meeting contains the resolutions on which Shareholders are asked to vote. It is important you read the entire document before deciding how to vote. The remaining parts of this document contain an Explanatory Statement which provides detailed information of the business to be conducted at the Meeting.

We look forward to being able to welcome Shareholders in person to this year's Meeting. However, whilst Shareholders will be permitted to attend in person, in order to reduce travel costs, it is likely that a limited number of Directors, if any, will be present at the venue, although most will dial-in to the Meeting via an electronic audio webcast and therefore the Company will also offer Shareholders the option to participate in the Meeting remotely via the electronic audio webcast.

Whilst Shareholders attending in person will be able to vote at the Meeting, those attending via the webcast will not be able to do so. Therefore, as in previous years the Board has decided that voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the Meeting will be decided by way of a poll as this means that every Shareholder present in person or by proxy will have one vote for every Share held. Accordingly, we would strongly encourage all Shareholders to vote electronically again this year and to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy rather than a named person. All valid proxy votes, whether submitted electronically or in hard copy form, will be included in the polls to be taken at the Meeting and should be submitted by no later than 09:30 (UK time) on 7 June 2025.

The Board understands that beyond voting on the formal business, the Meeting also serves as a forum for Shareholders to raise questions with the Board and we wish to continue to afford Shareholders that opportunity again this year. Therefore, we request that you submit any questions that you may have by e-mail to [email protected] by no later than 09:30 (UK time) / 10:30 (SA time) / 16:30 (WA time) on 7 June 2025 and we will endeavour to provide answers on our website.

The business to be discussed at the Meeting is made up of resolutions driven by the Company's status as a publicly quoted company on the AIM market and also the Company's continued compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and JSE Listings Requirements. In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code 2024, all Directors will be seeking re-election at the Meeting.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of all Resolutions (other than those which directly affects any director for which no recommendation is made) proposed at the Meeting as they intend to do so in respect of all Shares which they hold and which can validly be cast.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of Shares you own. If you are in any doubt as to what actions you should take, please consult your professional advisor without delay.

Yours sincerely,

David Hathorn
Chairman

  10. In order for a proxy appointment made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message must be transmitted so as to be received by Computershare (ID 3RA50) not later than 09:30 (UK time) on 9 June 2025 (or in the event of an adjournment, not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day)). For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which Computershare is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST. After this time any change of instructions to


proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

Set out below is the Explanatory Statement which has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at 107 Cheapside, Second Floor, London EC2V 6DN on 11 June 2025 at 09:30 (UK time) / 10:30 (SA time) / 16:30 (WA time).

This information is important. You should read the information relating to the Meeting carefully and, if necessary, seek your own independent advice.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of each Resolution.

Resolution 1 – Receive the 2024 audited accounts

The Directors are required by English company law to present the 2024 audited accounts and the Directors report and auditors’ report on the accounts to the Meeting. These can be viewed on the Company’s website at www.korepotash.com.

Resolution 2 – Approval of Directors’ remuneration report

The Directors will present the remuneration report for the year ended 31 December 2024. The vote is not mandatory but is considered best practice. The Company notes that this resolution was passed with a 99.98% for vote at the 2024 AGM.

Resolutions 3 and 4 – Appointment of auditors

The Company is required at each general meeting at which annual accounts are laid, to appoint auditors who will remain in office until the next general meeting at which annual accounts are laid. It is also normal practice for the Directors to be authorised to determine the level of the auditor’s remuneration for the ensuing year.

Resolution 3 proposes, therefore, the re-appointment of BDO LLP to hold office as the Company’s auditor until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company at which accounts are laid. Resolution 4 grants authority to the Directors to determine the auditor’s remuneration.

Resolutions 5 to 9 – Re-appointment of David Hathorn, David Netherway, Jonathan Trollip and Wouter Pulinx and appointment of Amit Mehta

General

The Articles of Association do not require any of the Directors to stand for re-election at the Meeting.

As part of the Company’s commitment to best corporate governance practice, Resolutions 5 to 8 seek Shareholders’ approval for the re-election of each Director and Resolution 9 seeks Shareholders’ approval for the election of a Director, who was appointed by the Board since the last Annual General Meeting.

Resolution 10 – Authority to allot shares in connection with the Fundraise

As announced on 21 March 2025, the Company conditionally raised approximately US$10.1 million, before expenses, by way of a Placing and direct subscriptions of new ordinary shares ("New Ordinary Shares") in the Company at a price of 1.7p / US$0.022 per share ("Placing Price") with certain eligible existing shareholders and new institutional and other investors (the Placing and the Subscription together being the "Fundraise").

David Hathorn, Non-Executive Chairman of the Company intended to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price for a consideration of US$0.5 million but at that time the Company was in a close period that restricts Directors and senior management from trading in the Company's shares pending the notification of the audited results for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Following release of the audited results for the year ended 31 December 2024 and as announced by the Company on 2 April 2025, David Hathorn subscribed for 22,644,928 New Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price for a total consideration of US$0.5 million (the subject of Resolution 12).

Resolution 10 asks Shareholders to grant the Directors authority to allot New Shares which are proposed to be issued by the Company in connection with the Fundraise to David Hathorn. The authority, if approved, will expire on the later of 30 December 2026 or if earlier, at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting. The authority will allow the Directors generally to allot New Ordinary Shares, and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert other securities into Shares up to an aggregate nominal value of US$22,644.93 which is equivalent to approximately 0.47% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company. The Directors intend to allot the New Ordinary Shares pursuant to this authority, and subject to passing of Resolution 12 which deals with the specific approval of these Shares to David Hathorn, the Company's Chairman).

Resolution 11 – General Authority to allot Shares

The Board may only allot Shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into Shares if authorised to do so by Shareholders. Resolution 11 seeks authority for the Board to allot, or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, a limited number of Shares in the Company. Section 551 of the Companies Act requires such authority to be granted by the Company in a general meeting so that any allotment of Shares or grant of rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, Shares is not exercised at the sole discretion of the Directors. The Resolution specifies the maximum nominal amount of Shares which can be allotted or rights granted.

This Resolution asks Shareholders to renew the Directors' authority to allot new Shares which was granted at last year's Annual General Meeting. The authority, if approved, will expire on the later of 30 December 2026 and the date of the 2026 Annual General Meeting. The authority will allow the Directors generally to allot new Shares, and grant rights to subscribe for, or convert other securities into Shares up to a nominal value of US$1,611,201.36, which is equivalent to approximately 33% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company. The Directors consider it desirable to maintain the flexibility which this authority provides.

10


The figure used for the nominal amount of issued ordinary share capital of the Company is based on the ordinary share capital on issue as at 6 May 2025. As at 6 May 2025, no ordinary shares are held by the Company in treasury.

For completeness, it is noted that the Company will continue to be subject to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the ability of an ASX-listed entity from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities over a 12 month period which exceeds 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of the 12 month period, unless certain exceptions apply.

Resolution 12 – Approval of Securities Issue to Director under the Fundraise

David Hathorn, the Chairman of Kore Potash, has participated in the Fundraise, via two separate trusts – being the Belle Terre and Stapleford Trusts, further details of which are set out below. Resolution 12 seeks approval of issue of New Shares to David Hathorn, a related party of the Company, following which (if approved) 11,322,464 and 11,322,464 New Shares of US$0.001 each will be issued to the Belle Terre trust and the Stapleford trust respectively, resulting in 22,644,928 New Shares being issued.

The Belle Terre and Stapleford Trusts Issue falls within the scope of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1 because the beneficiary of the Belle Terre and Stapleford Trusts (which Theseus (Guernsey) Limited is a trustee of) is David Hathorn, a Director of the Company. The Belle Terre and Stapleford Trusts Issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolution 12 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the New Shares to the Director, with the net proceeds from that issue (when combined with the net proceeds from the broader Fundraise and existing cash funds), to meet commitments due in respect of the Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract for the Kola Potash Project, including optimisation and early work agreement payments, and its working capital requirements.

Related party transaction – AIM Rules

David Hathorn is a director of the Company and the proposed issue of 22,644,928 New Shares to the trusts which are associated with him are deemed to be a related party transaction for the purposes of AIM Rule 13 and ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1. The directors of the Company, other than David Hathorn, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, consider that the terms of his participation in the Fundraise are fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders of the Company are concerned.

In addition, the issue of the New Shares to the Director will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14.

If Resolution 12 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the New Shares to the Director.

Resolution 13 – Ratification of Issue of Placing and Subscription Shares

Background

As announced on 21 March 2025, the Company conditionally raised approximately US$10.1 million, before expenses, by way of a Placing and direct subscriptions of new ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 1.7p / US$0.022 per share ("Placing Price") with certain eligible existing shareholders and new institutional and other investors (the Placing and the Subscription together being the "Fundraise").

On 27 March 2025, 455,734,110 new ordinary shares under the Fundraise were issued and admitted to trading utilizing the Company's then existing ASX Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity ("Placing and Subscription Shares").

Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of the Placing and Subscription Shares for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, without prior approval of shareholders and subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities (as that term is defined under the ASX Listing Rules) during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The issue of the Placing and Subscription Shares did not fit within any of these exceptions and so was issued within the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX 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, provided the Company complied with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issuing the relevant equity securities. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX 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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 13 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Unconditional Subscription Shares under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and for all other purposes.

If Resolution 13 is approved, the New Ordinary Shares Placing and Subscription Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following their issue.

If Resolution 13 is not approved by the requisite majority, the Placing and Subscription Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following their issue.

The Company confirms that it was not in breach of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.

General

Following a recommendation from the Company's Remuneration and Nomination Committee, the Board resolved to grant the Company's Non-Executive Chairman, David Hathorn, an award of 9,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at £0.022 each, expiring on 9 June 2027 ("Funding Incentive Options"). Each Funding Incentive Option entitles the holder, on exercise, to one Share in the Company.

The Option issue falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 because Mr Hathorn is a Director of the Company and therefore requires Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, Resolution 14 seeks the required Shareholder approval in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of 9,000,000 Funding Incentive Options to Mr Hathorn.

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, the effect of passing Resolution 14 will be to allow the Company to make the Option issue without using up the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 14, the Company will not issue the Funding Incentive Options to Mr Hathorn and the Company will consider other alternative forms of remuneration, including an alternative security issue or cash bonus to Mr Hathorn reflecting a similar value to the proposed grant of the Options (subject at all times to applicable regulatory requirements and Shareholder approval where required).

  1. Grant of Options

Options may be exercised only following a Vesting Event, as described at (e) below. Options shall have a maximum lifespan of 10 years from the date of grant. Options shall not confer on the holder the right to participate in new issues of Shares, including by way of bonus issue, rights issue or otherwise. Options will also not give any right to participate in dividends or any voting rights until Shares are issued or transferred pursuant to the exercise of the Option. Participants will not be required to pay anything for the grant of Options, which will not be listed for quotation on any stock exchange. Options shall not confer on the holder the right to a change in exercise price, or a change to the number of underlying Shares over which the Options can be exercised.

Options will in general become exercisable in full only if a condition specified by the remuneration committee of the Board is achieved, or a change of control occurs in the Company (in either case, a “Vesting Event”) within the period provided. The holder will be required to pay the aggregate exercise price and any taxes for which the participant’s employing company is required to account to any taxing authority on the holder’s behalf.

  1. Capital events

If there are certain variations of the share capital of the Company including a capitalisation or rights issue, subdivision, consolidation or reduction of share capital, a demerger or other distribution in specie, the Board may make such adjustments as it considers appropriate to ensure that the value of the Option is preserved. For so long as the Company is listed on ASX, if at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of an Option holder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the ASX Listing Rules at the time of reconstruction.

  1. Lapse of Option

If the holder ceases to hold any office or employment within the Group due to death, disability or ill health, Options shall remain in effect despite the cessation and may be exercised following the occurrence of a Vesting Event. Options will lapse if the holder ceases to hold such office or employment for any other reason, unless the Board at its discretion otherwise provides. Options will lapse if no Vesting Event has occurred within the period originally specified at the date of grant, although the terms may provide a power for the Board to extend the period by no more than 12 months.

The Company must give the Option Holder notice of the proposed terms of the issue or offer in accordance with the Listing Rules. In the event of a pro rata issue, except a bonus issue, the Exercise Price and the number of underlying Shares over which the Options are exercisable will not change.

  10. Bonus Issues
    If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other Securities to Shareholders (except an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) and a Share has not been issued in respect of the Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, then the number of underlying Shares over which the Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the Option Holder would have received if the Option Holder had exercised the Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue.

  11. Reorganisation
    (a) If there is a reorganisation (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the share capital of the Company, then the rights of the Option Holder (including the number of Options to which the Option Holder is entitled to and the Exercise Price) will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
    (b) Any calculations or adjustments which are required to be made will be made by the Company's Board and will, in the absence of manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Company and the Option Holder.
    (c) The Company must, within a reasonable period, give to the Option Holder notice of any change to the Exercise Price of any Options held by the Option Holder or the number of Shares which the Option Holder is entitled to subscribe for on exercise of an Option.

the Company will:

(c) allot and issue the Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Options;

(d) if required, as soon as reasonably practicable after the issue of Shares on the exercise of Options, give the various exchanges (i.e. AIM, JSE and ASX) a notice that complies with the various applicable Acts, including section 708A(5)(e) of the Australian Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with the various countries including the Australian Securities and Investment Commission, a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Australian Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Australian Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and
