Lycopodium Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting
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 30 June 2023 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.lycopodium.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 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.
6
Lycopodium Limited – Notice of Annual General 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.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR BRUNO RUGGIERO
3.1 General
Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 14.2 of the Constitution provide that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or three years, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled to be exempt from this rotation requirement.
Mr Bruno Ruggiero, who has served as a Director since 25 October 2001 and was last reelected on 19 November 2020, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships
Mr Ruggiero (BE (Mech), Grad Dip Min Sc, Grad Cert Eng Tech, MIEAust) has over 30 years’ experience in the minerals industry. He currently serves as the Group Technical Director for Lycopodium Limited having overarching responsibility for the Company’s technical knowledge base, capabilities and direction. Mr Ruggiero is a Director of Lycopodium Minerals Pty Ltd. Mr Ruggiero is currently non-executive director of ECG Engineering Pty Ltd and non-executive director of Quantum Graphite Limited. Independence
If re-elected the Board does not consider Mr Ruggiero will be an independent Director.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Ruggiero will be re-elected to the Board as an independent Director.
In the event that Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Ruggiero will not join the Board as an independent 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.
3.4 Board recommendation
The Board has reviewed Mr Ruggiero’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that their skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Mr Ruggiero and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Lycopodium Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting
4. RESOLUTIONS 3, 4 AND 5 - ISSUE OF INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS
4.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 42,007 Performance Rights to Mr Peter De Leo, Mr Bruno Ruggiero and Mr Karl Cicanese (together, the Related Parties ) (or their nominees) pursuant to the Performance Rights Plan and on the terms and conditions set out below ( Incentive Performance Rights ).
The Incentive Performance Rights will be distributed amongst the Related Parties as follows:
-
(a) 15,783 Incentive Performance Rights to Mr Peter De Leo (Resolution 3);
-
(b) 11,868 Incentive Performance Rights to Mr Bruno Ruggiero (Resolution 4); and
-
(c) 14,356 Incentive Performance Rights to Mr Karl Cicanese (Resolution 5).
4.2 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 of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties (or their nominees) constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides an exception to the prohibition in section 208 of the Corporations Act where the financial benefit is given to a related party as an officer of the Company and to give the remuneration would be reasonable given the circumstances of the Company and the related party’s circumstances (including the responsibilities involved in the office or employment) ( Reasonable Remuneration Exception ).
The Directors (other than the Related Parties) consider that the proposed issue of Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties (as contemplated by Resolutions 3, 4 and 5) fall within the Reasonable Remuneration Exception given the circumstances of the Company and the respective positions held by the Related Parties.
Accordingly, the Board has determined not to seek Shareholder approval for the purpose of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the issue of Incentive Performance Rights under Resolutions 3, 4 and 5.
8
Lycopodium Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting
4.3 Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:
-
10.14.1 a director of the entity;
-
10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or
-
10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.
The issue of Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.
4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties under the Performance Rights Plan within three years 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 of the Incentive Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Related Parties under the Performance Rights Plan. If Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 are not passed, the Board reserves the right to negotiate alternative incentive measures with the Related Parties.
4.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 3 to 5:

If the invitation provides that any Shares issued upon the valid exercise of a Performance Right are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
