1. Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum is provided to Shareholders of Lake Resources N.L. ACN 079 471 980 ( Company ) to explain the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held as a hybrid meeting on 22 November 2024 commencing at 9:00am (Brisbane time) (being 10:00am AEDT).

The Directors recommend Shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

Terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum are defined in section 6 (Interpretation).

2. Consider the Company’s Annual Report

The Company’s Annual Report comprising the Directors’ Report and Auditors’ Report, Directors’ Declaration, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to and forming part of the financial statements for the Company and for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 was released to ASX on 25 September 2024 and subsequently dispatched to shareholders as required.

Shareholders can access a copy of the Company’s Annual Report at

www.lakeresources.com.au. The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so.

The Company’s Annual Report is placed before the Shareholders for discussion. No voting is required for this item.

3. Resolution 1 - Remuneration Report

The Board has submitted its Remuneration Report to Shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of a non-binding advisory resolution in accordance with section 250R of the Corporations Act.

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report, the Board as a whole strongly recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2, adopting the 2024 Remuneration Report.

In deciding how to vote on Resolution 3, the Board suggests Shareholders take the following factors into account:

  • (a) “the Company has reduced the size of its Board through the resignations of its nonexecutive directors Ms Ana Gomez Chapman, Dr Cheemin Bo-Linn and Mr Howard Atkins as well as significant senior executive reductions in force;

  • (b) the Directors have listened and responded to the concerns put forward by Shareholders following the prior AGM in 2023, including the adoption of substantial share ownership guidelines for the Board, KMP and senior executives that took effect in January 2024 and which will further align the interests of the Board, KMP and senior executives with the interests of the Shareholders;

  • (c) the Directors have reviewed the remuneration structures for KMP to ensure that they are in line with market and align the interests of management with the interests of Shareholders;

Page 1 of 8

  • (d) the Directors have implemented guidelines and policies to increase the robustness of the Company’s remuneration governance; and

  • (e) the Company is continuing to optimise its financial runway and maintaining its current Board minimises uncertainty from board instability and the direction of the Company.

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report section of the Annual Report. The Report, amongst other things:

  • (a) explains the Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP of the consolidated entity;

  • (b) explains the relationship between the Board’s remuneration policy and the Company’s performance;

  • (c) sets out remuneration details for each KMP of the consolidated entity including details of performance related remuneration and any options or other securities granted as part of remuneration; and

  • (d) details and explains any performance conditions applicable to the remuneration of KMP of the Company.

The Board believes the Company’s remuneration policies and structures as outlined in the Remuneration Report are appropriate relative to the size of the Company, its business and strategic objectives and current and emerging market practices.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, a vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

There are restrictions on members of the KMP and their Closely Related Parties and their proxies voting (in any capacity) on Resolution 4, details of which are set out in the voting restriction statement included in Resolution 1 of the Notice of Meeting.

Shareholders should be aware that any undirected proxies given to the Chair will be cast by the Chair and counted in favour of this Resolution 5, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act. In exceptional circumstances, the Chair may change his/her voting intention on any Resolution, in which case an ASX announcement will be made.

4. Resolution 2 - Re-election of Mr. Stuart Crow as a Non-Executive Director

Rule 9.1(d) of the Constitution states that no director who is not the Managing Director may hold office without re-election beyond the third AGM following the meeting at which the director was last elected or re-elected. This reflects the requirements of Listing Rule 14.4. Listing Rule 14.4 ensures that shareholders can re-elect directors on a regular basis, promoting accountability and shareholder engagement in the governance of the Company. Mr Crow was last re-elected as a Director of the Company at the 2021 AGM. Accordingly, Mr Crow retires in accordance with rule 9.1(d) of the Company’s Constitution and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Non-Executive Director.

Mr Crow has 38 years’ experience in financial services, corporate finance, investor relations, international markets, stock broking and critical minerals supply chains. He is passionate about assisting emerging listed companies to attract investors and capital. He has owned and operated his own businesses in financial services and served on a number of company boards for over 16 years, with mineral exploration companies operating in Australia, Africa and in North and South America.

Page 2 of 8

Mr Crow has served on the Board since 14 November 2016, and his re-election will be important for maintaining continuity for the Company which benefits from his extensive experience. He was responsible for retaining David Dickson, Managing Director and CEO and together they built the current management team. More recently, he successfully implemented cost-saving measures with the Board and has played a key role in the finalisation of the Definitive Feasibility Study. His re-election will help ensure the continued execution of the Company’s long-term strategies by retaining his expertise and know-how of the Company.

Further details of Mr Crow’s qualifications and experience are set out in the Company’s Annual Report.

If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Crow will continue in office as a Non-Executive Director of the Company. If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will have to seek a replacement Director to fill the remaining position. Such activities to source a suitable replacement who brings the same level of expertise and guidance as Mr Crow will require significant additional resources, including time, effort and capital. Further, the non-passage of Resolution 2 would most likely be a significantly destabilising event to the Company. The Directors (with Mr Stuart Crow abstaining) strongly recommend that you vote in favour of this Ordinary Resolution.

5. Resolution 3 – Approval of Additional Placement Facility

5.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount that 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% ( Additional Placement Facility ).

An “eligible entity” means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an “eligible entity” for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1A as it is not included in the S&P / ASX 300 index and has a current market capitalisation of $65.07 million (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 2 October 2024

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. A Special Resolution is a resolution requiring at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote at the meeting in favour of the resolution.

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.

Page 3 of 8

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 3:

(a) Period for which the Additional Placement Facility is valid

The Additional Placement Facility 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 ( Significant change in the nature or scale of activities ) or Listing Rule 11.2 ( Disposal of main undertaking ).

(b) Minimum price

Any Equity Securities issued under the Additional Placement Facility 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 paragraph 5.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (c) Use of funds raised under the Additional Placement Facility

The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Facility for additional working capital to support the Company’s liquidity and balance sheet strength as it continues to pursue multiple of the Company’s long-term strategic priorities, including the strategic partnering process for the Kachi Project.

(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the Additional Placement Facility will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of this Meeting; and

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

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2:
