ADDENDUM TO THE NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING, EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AND PROXY FORM
Dear Shareholder
Loyal Lithium Limited (ASX: LLI) ( Company ) gives notice to Shareholders that in relation to the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting dated 14 November 2022 ( Notice ) in respect of the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting of members to be held at 9:00am (AWST) on Monday, 12 December 2022 via a virtual meeting ( EGM ), the Company wishes to advise that it has amended the Notice in relation to Resolutions 3 and 5 in the manner set out below.
1. RESOLUTION 3
Amendment to Explanatory Statement - Resolution 3
The Company amends the Explanatory Statement with respect to Resolution 3 (Approval to Issue Broker Options to Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited) to reflect the fact that the exercise price of the Broker Options is $0.60 per Option, as announced by the Company in its Appendix 3B – Proposed issue of securities announced on 23 October 2022, instead of $0.20 as described in the Notice.
Accordingly, any reference in the Explanatory Statement, including at clause (b) of Schedule 1, to the exercise price of the Broker Options being $0.20 should be replaced with $0.60.
Otherwise, the terms of the Broker Options remain unchanged and Resolution 3 remains unchanged.
2. RESOLUTION 5
Amendment to Special Business - Resolution 5
The Company amends Resolution 5 (Approval to Issue Shares to Martin Dallaire) to reflect the fact that the 200,000 Shares proposed to be issued under Resolution 5 are to be issued to Noranda Royalties Inc not Martin Dallaire.
Accordingly, in the Special Business section of the Notice the amended Resolution 5 should read:
“RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES TO NORANDA ROYALTIES INC
To consider and, if thought fit, to pass, with or without amendment, the following Resolution as an ordinary resolution :
“ That for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes, Shareholders approve the issue under Listing Rule 7.1 of 200,000 Shares in the Company to Noranda Royalties Inc., for the purpose and on the terms set out in the Explanatory Statement accompanying this Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting. ”
Voting Exclusion: The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of this Resolution by or on behalf of Noranda Royalties Inc, or any person who will obtain a material benefit as a result of, the proposed issue (except a benefit solely by reason of being a holder of ordinary securities in the entity) or any Associate of those persons. However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of this Resolution by:
-
(a) a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with the directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the Resolution in that way; or
-
(b) the Chair acting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the Resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the Chair to vote on the Resolution as the Chair decides; or
-
(c) a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:
-
(i) the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an Associate of a person excluded from voting, on the Resolution; and
-
(ii) the holder votes on the Resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.
Amendment to Explanatory Statement - Resolution 5
As a result of the amendment to Resolution 5, the Explanatory Statement is amended as follows:
-
(a) All references to “Martin Dallaire” in section 6 and Schedule 4 are replaced with “Noranda Royalties Inc.”;
-
(b) The references in section 6.2(a) to “Martin Dallaire” are replaced with “Noranda Royalties Inc.” and the Company confirms that Noranda Royalties Inc. is not a Material Investor (as defined in the Notice) in the Company; and
-
(c) The reference to “Martin Dallaire” in the definition of “Term Sheet” in the Glossary (page 19) is replaced with “Noranda Royalties Inc”.

STEP 1 – APPOINT A PROXY

You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your 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 item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.
APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY
You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise.
