Voting in Person
To vote in person, attend the Meeting on the date and at the place as set out above. If possible, Shareholders are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, so that the Company may check the Shareholder’s holding against the Company’s share register and note attendance.
Voting by Proxy
Appointment of Proxy: Shareholders who are entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, may appoint a proxy to act generally at the Meeting and to vote on their behalf. The proxy does not need to be a Shareholder. A Shareholder that is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and should specify the proportion of votes each proxy is entitled to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder's votes if no proportion or number of votes is specified.
Voting by proxy: A Shareholder can direct its proxy to vote for, against or abstain from voting on each Resolution by marking the appropriate box in the voting directions to your proxy section of the Proxy Form. If a proxy holder votes, they must cast all votes as directed. Any directed proxies that are not voted will automatically default to the Chairman, who must vote the proxies as directed in the Proxy Form. Proxy Forms must be received by 9am (WST) on 29 January 2022 .
Details on how to lodge your Proxy Form can be found on the enclosed Proxy Form. If you have any questions about your Proxy Form, please contact the Company Secretary by telephone at +61 8 6145 0288.
If COVID-19 social distancing restrictions change prior to the Meeting, the Company will advise via an ASX announcement as to any changes in the manner in which the Meeting will be held and as to whether shareholders will still be able to attend in person and participate in the usual way.
The Notice is important and should be read in its entirety. If you are in doubt as to the course of action you should follow, you should consult your financial adviser, lawyer, accountant, or other professional adviser.
Yours sincerely,
Barry Woodhouse
CFO and Company Secretary
Authorised by the Board of Lithium Australia NL

VOTING DIRECTIONS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy on how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each resolution of business. All your Partly Paid Shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any resolution by inserting the percentage or number of Partly Paid Shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given resolution, your proxy may vote as they choose to the extent they are permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid.
PLEASE NOTE: If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (or if he is appointed by default) but do not direct him how to vote on a resolution (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” opposite that resolution), the Chair may vote as he sees fit on that resolution.
APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY
You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning Advanced Share Registry Limited or you may copy this form and return them both together.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
(a) on each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of Partly Paid Shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and
- (b) return both forms together.
COMPLIANCE WITH LISTING RULE 14.11
In accordance to Listing Rule 14.11, if you hold shares on behalf of another person(s) or entity/entities or you are a trustee, nominee, custodian or other fiduciary holder of the shares, you are required to ensure that the person(s) or entity/entities for which you hold the shares are not excluded from voting on resolutions where there is a voting exclusion. Listing Rule 14.11 requires you to receive written confirmation from the person or entity providing the voting instruction to you and you must vote in accordance with the instruction provided.
Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the security holders should sign.
Power of Attorney:
If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with Advanced Share Registry, please attach the original or a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies:
Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone.
