EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 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.lithiumuniverse.com.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company's annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report to 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.

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.

6544-05/8773110_4


6544-05/8773110_4

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF JINGYUAN LIU

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.

Jingyuan Liu, who has held office without re-election since 14 June 2024 and being eligible retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

Further information in relation to Jingyuan Liu is set out below.

Qualifications, experience and other material directorships Dr Liu is widely regarded as a leading technical expert in the lithium industry. He previously held the position of General Manager of Development and Technologies at Galaxy Resources Limited, where he was responsible for overseeing the construction and commissioning of the world-renowned Jiangsu Lithium Carbonate plant, now owned by Tianqi Lithium Corp. Dr Liu also played a key role in designing the flow sheet for the Sal de Vida brine project in Argentina. Following his work with Galaxy, he has acted as a special adviser to various lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide projects globally, including the Lithium Hydroxide Plant operated by Tianqi in Kwinana, Western Australia. Dr Liu has over 30 years of experience in project management, process, and equipment design for minerals processing and in the chemicals, non-ferrous metals, iron & steel, and energy industries, both in Australia and internationally. He was awarded a PhD in chemical engineering from the University of Newcastle, Australia. He has worked in senior chemical engineering roles with leading companies such as Hatch Engineering and Metso Minerals in Australia and Malaysia.
Term of office Dr Liu has served as a Director since 11 September 2023 and was last re-elected on 14 June 2024.
Independence If re-elected, Dr Liu will not be an independent Director.
Board recommendation Having received an acknowledgement from Dr Liu that they will have sufficient time to fulfil their responsibilities as a Director and having reviewed the performance of Dr Liu since their appointment to the Board and the skills, knowledge, experience and capabilities required by the Board, the Directors (other than Dr Liu) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is passed, Dr Liu will be re-elected to the Board as a Director.

If this Resolution is not passed, Dr Liu will not continue in their role as a Director. The Company may seek nominations or otherwise identify suitably qualified candidates to join the Company. As an additional consequence, this may detract from the Board and Company's ability to execute on its strategic vision.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

4.1 General

This Resolution 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.

5


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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an Eligible Entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% (7.1A Mandate). An Eligible Entity means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. As of the date of this Notice, the Company's market capitalisation is approximately $12,928,881 as at 8 April 2026. The Company is therefore an Eligible Entity.

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

For this Resolution to be passed, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be cast in favour of the Resolution.

If this Resolution 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 this Resolution 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.

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

REQUIRED INFORMATION DETAILS
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:
(a) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
(b) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
(c) 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).
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:
(a) 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
(b) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
Use of funds The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for various matters, including further advancement and development of its current business model, acquisition of new projects and general working capital.
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.

6544-05/8773110_4


REQUIRED INFORMATION

DETAILS

If this Resolution 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 8 April 2026.

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.

Number of Shares on Issue (Variable A in Listing Rule 7.1A.2) Shares issued - 10% voting dilution Issue Price
$0.004 $0.008 $0.012
50% decrease Issue Price 50% increase
Funds Raised
Current 1,616,110,232 Shares 161,611,023 Shares $646,444 $1,292,888 $1,939,332
50% increase 2,424,165,348 Shares 242,416,535 Shares $969,666 $1,939,332 $2,908,998
100% increase 3,232,220,464 Shares 323,222,046 Shares $1,292,888 $2,585,776 $3,878,665

*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 pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently 1,616,110,232 Shares on issue.
  2. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 8 April 2026 (being $0.008) (Issue Price). The Issue Price at a 50% increase and 50% decrease are each rounded to three decimal places prior to the calculation of the funds raised.
  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.
  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
  6. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.
  7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.
  8. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

6544-05/8773110_4


REQUIRED INFORMATION DETAILS
9. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
(a) the market price for the Company's Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
(b) 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.
Allocation policy under 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:
(a) the purpose of the issue;
(b) 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;
(c) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
(d) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
(e) prevailing market conditions; and
(f) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 30 May 2025 (Previous Approval).
During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 30 May 2025, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.
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 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO IGGY TAN

5.1 General

On 1 April 2026, the Company announced that it had entered into an executive services agreement with Iggy Tan (ESA) pursuant to which Mr Tan has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Pursuant to the ESA, Mr Tan shall receive the following remuneration in consideration for his role as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman:

6544-05/8773110_4


(a) $95,000 in director fees for the role of Chairman (excluding Super);
(b) $295,000 in salary for the role of Chief Executive Officer (excluding Super); and
(c) 30,000,000 Options at various exercise prices set out below.

Mr Tan and the Company can each terminate the ESA by giving 6 months written notice.

The ESA is otherwise on terms considered customary for an agreement of its type.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 30,000,000 Options to lggy Tan (or his nominee(s)) comprising:

(a) 10,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.02 per Option and expiring 3 years from the date of issue;
(b) 10,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.03 per Option and expiring 3 years from the date of issue; and
(c) 10,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.04 per Option and expiring 3 years from the date of issue.

The Options are otherwise on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1.

5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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 constitutes giving a financial benefit and lggy Tan is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than lggy Tan 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 issue because the agreement to issue the Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for lggy Tan, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm's length basis.

5.3 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.

6544-05/8773110_4


The issue 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.

5.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

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

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue. Consequently, the Company may be required to find alternative ways of remunerating Iggy Tan, including using its cash reserves.

5.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

REQUIRED INFORMATION DETAILS
Name of the person to whom Securities will be issued Iggy Tan (or his nominee(s)).
Categorisation under Listing Rule 10.11 The recipient falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as they are a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
Any nominee(s) of the recipient who receive Securities may constitute ‘associates’ for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.4.
Number of Securities and class to be issued Up to an aggregate of 30,000,000 Options will be issued as set out in Section 5.1.
Terms of Securities The Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1.
Date(s) on or by which the Securities will be issued The Company expects to issue the Options within 5 Business Days of the Meeting. In any event, the Company will not issue any Options later than one 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).
Price or other consideration the Company will receive for the Securities The Options will be issued at a nil issue price.
Purpose of the issue, including the intended use of any funds raised by the issue The purpose of the issue is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for Iggy Tan to motivate and reward their performance as a Director and to provide cost effective remuneration to Iggy Tan, 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 Iggy Tan.
Remuneration package The current total remuneration package for Iggy Tan is $436,800 comprising of directors' fees and salary of $390,000 and a superannuation payment of $46,800. If the Options are issued, the total remuneration package of Iggy Tan will increase by $100,000 to $536,800, being the value of the Securities (based on the Black Scholes methodology).
