Important note: there is no requirement for Shareholders to approve these reports.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT (NON-BINDING RESOLUTION)

To consider and, if thought fit, to pass, with or without amendment, the following Resolution as a non-binding resolution :

Voting Exclusion: The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by any member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company whose remuneration is included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such member. However, the Company will not disregard any votes cast on this Resolution by such person if:

  • (a) the person is acting as proxy and the Proxy Form specifies how the proxy is to vote on the Resolution, and the vote is not cast on behalf of a person who is otherwise excluded from voting on this Resolution as described above; or

  • (b) the person is the Chair voting an undirected proxy and their appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even though the Resolution is connected with the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.

If you are a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company or a Closely Related Party of such person (or are acting on behalf of any such person) and purport to cast a vote on Resolution 1 (other than as a proxy as permitted in the manner set out above), that vote will be disregarded by the Company (as indicated above) and you may be liable for an offence for breach of voting restrictions that apply to you under the Corporations Act.

The Corporations Act requires the annual financial report, directors’ report and the auditor’s report ( Annual Financial Statements ) be received and considered at the Annual General Meeting.

Section 317 of the Corporations Act requires the directors to lay before the Annual General Meeting the Annual Financial Statements for the last financial year ended 31 December 2022.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve these reports and no vote will be taken on the Annual Financial Statements.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT (NON-BINDING RESOLUTION)

2.1 Background

Pursuant to section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company submits to Shareholders for consideration and adoption, by way of a non-binding resolution, its remuneration report for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 ( Remuneration Report ). The Remuneration Report is a distinct section of the annual directors’ report ( Directors’ Report ) which deals with the remuneration of Directors, executives and senior managers of the Company. More particularly, the Remuneration Report can be found within the Directors’ Report in the

8

Company’s 2022 Annual Report. The Annual Report is available on the Company’s website at www.loyallithium.com.

By way of summary, the Remuneration Report:

  • (a) explains the Company’s remuneration policy and the process for determining the remuneration of its Directors and executive officers;

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

  • (c) sets out the remuneration details for each Director and executive officer named in the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2022.

The remuneration levels for Directors, executives and senior managers are competitively set to attract and retain appropriate Directors and Key Management Personnel.

The Chair of the Annual General Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

2.2 Regulatory Requirements

The Corporations Act provides that Resolution 1 need only be an advisory vote of Shareholders and does not bind the Directors. However, the Corporations Act provides that if the Company’s Remuneration Report resolution receives a “no” vote of 25% or more of votes cast at the Annual General Meeting, the Company’s subsequent Remuneration Report must explain the Board’s proposed action in response or, if the Board does not propose any action, the Board’s reasons for not making any changes. The Board will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering the remuneration policy, even if it receives less than a 25% “no” vote.

In addition, sections 250U and 250V of the Corporations Act set out a “two strikes” re-election process, pursuant to which:

  • (a) if, at a subsequent Annual General Meeting ( Later Annual General Meeting ), at least 25% of the votes cast on a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted are against the adoption of that remuneration report;

  • (b) at the immediately preceding Annual General Meeting ( Earlier Annual General Meeting ), at least 25% of the votes cast on a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted were against the adoption of that remuneration report; and

  • (c) a resolution was not put to the vote at the Earlier Annual General Meeting under an earlier application of section 250V of the Corporations Act,

then the Company must put to vote at the Later Annual General Meeting a resolution, requiring Shareholders to vote on whether the Company must hold another Annual General Meeting ( Spill Meeting ) to consider the appointment of all of the Directors at the time the Directors’ Report was approved by the Board who must stand for re-appointment (other than the Managing Director) ( Spill Resolution ). The Spill Resolution may be passed as an ordinary resolution.

If the Spill Resolution is passed, the Spill Meeting must be held within 90 days after the Spill Resolution is passed. All of the Company’s Directors who were Directors at the time when the resolution to make the Directors’ Report was passed (excluding the Managing Director of the Company who may, in accordance with the Listing Rules, continue to hold office indefinitely without being re-elected to the office) cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting and may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

At the Company’s 2021 annual general meeting, less than 25% of the eligible votes cast in respect of the 2021 Remuneration Report were cast against the adoption of the 2021 Remuneration Report.

Accordingly, a Spill Resolution will not be put to the Meeting even if 25% or more of the votes cast in respect of the 2021 Remuneration Report are against the adoption of the 2021 Remuneration Report.

2.3 Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF ANDREW GRAHAM AS A DIRECTOR

3.1 Background

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.5 and Article 12.3(b) of the Constitution, at every Annual General Meeting an election of Directors must take place.

Further, in accordance with Listing Rule 14.4 and Article 12.3(a), a Director must not hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment or last election.

For this reason, Andrew Graham retires by way of rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.

Mr Graham has 33 years of experience in the resources sector across both private and public corporations in senior technical and managerial roles. Mr Graham holds a Bachelor of Applied Science (Applied Geology), a Masters of Economic Geology, a Diploma of Management, a Quarry Managers Certificate and is a Member of the AusIMM and the Institute of Quarrying.

Mr Graham is currently the CEO / Executive Director of Cohiba Minerals Limited (ASX:CHK), the Managing Director of Mineral Strategies Pty Ltd and a Director of Eco Cu Pty Ltd.

3.1 Board Recommendation

The Directors (other than Andrew Graham) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 - APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

4.1 Background

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities of up to 10% of its issued ordinary share capital through placements over a 12-month period following the entity’s Annual General Meeting ( Additional 10% Placement Facility ). The Additional 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less, as at the time of the entity’s Annual General Meeting. The Company is an eligible entity as at the time of this Notice of Annual General Meeting and is expected to be an eligible entity as at the time of the annual general meeting.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to enable the Company to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility. The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the period set out below.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Annual General Meeting (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the Additional 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 4.2(d) of this Notice of Annual General Meeting below).

The Company is seeking a mandate to issue securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility to enable the Company to pursue its growth strategy with the flexibility to act quickly as potential business opportunities arise.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the Additional 10% Placement Facility to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in

10

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 Regulatory Requirements

In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.3A, Shareholders are advised of the following information:

  • (a) Issue Period

If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the Company will have a mandate to issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A from the date of the Annual General Meeting until the earlier of the following to occur:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • (iii) the time and date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

(the Additional 10% Placement Period ).

The Company will only issue and allot Equity Securities during the Additional 10% Placement Period.

(b) Minimum Issue Price

Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has on issue two classes of quoted Equity Securities, Shares and Options.

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility must not be lower than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were conducted immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the Equity Securities are issued; or

  • (ii) the date on which the price of Equity Securities is agreed, provided that the issue is thereafter completed within 10 trading days.

(c) Purpose of Issues

The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities to raise funds in connection with an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company’s current assets and general working capital.

The Company will provide further information at the time of issue of any Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility in compliance with its disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4.

(d) Dilution

As at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has 62,490,001 Shares on issue. Accordingly, if Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the Company will have the capacity to issue approximately 6,249,000 Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.

The precise number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

11

  • A = the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:

  • (i) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • (ii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • (A) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • (B) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (iii) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • (A) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • (B) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (iv) plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (v) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period; and

  • (vi) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period.

Note that variable “A” is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

  • D = 10%

  • E = the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4; and

“relevant is the 12 months immediately preceding the date of the issue or period” agreement.

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility, existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the table below (in the case of Options, only if the Options are exercised). There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

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

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting.

The table also shows:

12

  • (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  1. Variable A is 62,490,001 being the number of ordinary securities on issue at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting.

  2. The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the Additional 10% Placement Facility.

  3. No Options (including any Options issued under the Additional 10% Placement Facility) are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

  4. The Company has not issued any other Equity Securities using its placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A in the 12 months preceding this Notice of Meeting.

13

  1. 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%.

  2. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  3. The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  4. The issue price is $0.32, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 28 March 2023, being the last trading day before the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting.

(e) Allocation Policy

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the Additional 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the persons to which the Company will issue the Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The persons to whom the Company will issue Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and / or new Shareholders who are not related parties or Associates of a related party of the Company.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the persons to whom the Company will issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

  • (f) Previous issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company has not previously issued or agreed to issue any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting.

  • (g) Voting exclusion statement

No Voting Exclusion Statement applies to Resolution 3.

At the date of the Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has not approached any particular existing security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holders to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

4.3 Board Recommendation

The Board believes that the Additional 10% Placement Facility is beneficial for the Company as it will give the Company the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 10% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommend that Shareholders approve Resolution 3.

14

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL FOR ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO THE ACL VENDORS

5.1 Background

On 16 February 2023, the Company announced that it acquired the remaining 20% of securities in American Consolidated Lithium Pty Ltd (ACN 654 897 275) ( ACL ) which it did not previously hold ( Further ACL Acquisition ).

As a result, the Company now holds 100% of the securities in ACL. ACL holds the rights to acquire a 100% interest in 962 unpatented placer mining claims covering approximately 14,000 acres in Nye County, southern Nevada). Collectively these claims comprise the Scotty Lithium Project ( Scotty Project ).

The Further ACL Acquisition was effected by a deed of variation dated 15 February 2023 ( ACL Deed of Variation ) to the acquisition agreement entered into by the Company in relation to the securities in ACL on 3 May 2022 ( ACL Acquisition Agreement ).

Under the ACL Deed of Variation, the Company agreed to purchase the remaining 20% of the shares and options in the capital of ACL through the issue of:

  • (a) 7,000,000 Shares (at a deemed issue price of $0.45 per Share) ( Additional Consideration Shares ); and

  • (b) 3,499,000 Options exercisable at $0.50 and expiring 3 years from their date of issue ( Additional Consideration Options ),

to the vendors (being the shareholders and option holders of ACL other than the Company) apportioned pro-rata to their respective holding in ACL ( ACL Vendors ).

In consideration of the issue of the Additional Consideration Shares and the Additional Consideration Options, each ACL Vendor agreed that the previously agreed consideration payable under the ACL Acquisition Agreement for the acquisition of the remaining 20% of securities in ACL (being, in aggregate, the issue of 18,000,000 Shares and 9,000,000 Options in two stages subject to the satisfaction of certain performance milestones and which were the subject of Shareholder approval received on 31 May 2022) will not vest in the ACL Vendors.

The Additional Consideration Shares were issued to the ACL Vendors on 16 February 2023.

The issue of each of the Additional Consideration Options is subject to Shareholder approval. Shareholder approval is required as the Company does not currently have sufficient placement capacity under the Listing Rules to issue all the Additional Consideration Options.

5.2 Regulatory Requirements

As stated above, the Company entered into the ACL Deed of Variation pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue the Additional Consideration 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to the issue of the Additional Consideration Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Additional Consideration Options.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company has agreed to pay each Vendor in cash an amount equal to the number of Additional Consideration Options to which it is entitled in line with a Black-Scholes option pricing valuation methodology with an applied 100% volatility. The Company estimates that the total amount payable to the ACL Vendors under this methodology if Resolution 4 is not passed, is approximately $566,000.

15

Information required by Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution:

  • (a) Name of the person who shall receive the securities

  • The Additional Consideration Options will be issued to the ACL Vendors. The ACL Vendors include Bullseye Geo Services Pty Ltd and Ikigai Strategic Investments Pty Ltd (as trustee for Ikigai Strategic Investment Trust) and various other unrelated third parties, all of whom are not material investors in the Company.[1]

  • (b) The number and class of securities the entity will issue

The maximum number of Additional Consideration Options to be issued by the Company under Resolution 4 is 3,499,999 Options. The Additional Consideration Options convert into 3,499,999 Shares (if all converted).

The terms of the Additional Consideration Options are included in Schedule 1 to this Notice.

  • (c) Date the entity will issue the securities

It is anticipated that, subject to Shareholder approval being received, the Additional Consideration Options will be issued on 1 June 2023 and otherwise within 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

  • (d) The price of consideration the entity will receive for the securities

  • No cash consideration will be received for the issue of the Additional Consideration Options as the issue is consideration for the Further ACL Acquisition. The Additional Consideration Options are exercisable at $0.50 and will expire on the day that is 3 years from the date of issue.

  • (e) A summary of the material terms of the agreement

The Additional Consideration Options are to be issued pursuant to the ACL Deed of Variation. A summary of the material terms of the ACL Deed of Variation is included in Schedule 2 to this Notice.

  • (f) Voting exclusion statement

A Voting Exclusion Statement has been provided for Resolution 4 in the Special Business section of this Notice of Meeting.

5.3 Board Recommendation

The Board supports the issue of Additional Consideration Options in accordance with the terms of the ACL Deed of Variation and unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

1 ASX consider the following to be material investors:

(i). a related party of the entity;

(ii). a member of the entity’s Key Management Personnel;

(iii). a substantial holder in the entity;

(iv). an adviser to the entity; or
