  • (D) certain Vendors entering into 6-month voluntary escrow deeds in respect of their Consideration Securities; and

  • (E) receipt of any necessary third party consents.

With the exception of the Shareholder Approval Condition, all conditions precedent to the Flash Agreement have been satisfied.

(d) Application of Technology to the Existing Projects and WA REE Tenements

Flash Metals will assist procuring future access to the Flash Joule technology and the facilities at Rice University, to enable MTM to undertake tests of ore from its own REE carbonatite and clay projects. REE mineralisation is typically complex and processing methods are often very complicated, costly and environmentally hazardous. If testing of the REE mineralisation using a new innovation can result in a simpler and less costly processing circuit this will aid the overall project development economics and underpin a much higher overall value for the project. The REE-bearing carbonatite adjacent to the Pomme project in Quebec (Montviel Carbonatite Project) has a globally significant resource however, has not proceeded to development due in part to complicated and expensive processing circuit and capital expenditure requirement. If a less expensive process and environmentally sound alternative is found, that project may become economically viable. In the current environment of high demand for critical metals, this could be a highly significant development. The Company has identified REE mineralisation in a clay deposit formation in its East Laverton Project which will be tested for extraction of the REE’s via the Flash Joule technology.

(e) Board Changes

6. Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of T1 Conversion Shares

6.1

General

The background to the issue of the T1 Conversion Shares is in Section 3 above.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the T1 Conversion Shares.

6.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

As announced on 21 November 2023, the Company entered into the Convertible Note Agreements and agreed to issue the T1 Conversion Shares under Listing Rule 7.1.

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 of the T1 Conversion Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under that Listing Rule for the 12 month period following the issue of the T1 Conversion Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities or agreement to issue securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been issued, or the agreement to issue those securities will be deemed to have been agreed, with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to issue the T1 Conversion Shares under and for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4.

6.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 1 is passed, 4,971,854 T1 Conversion Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, 4,971,854 T1 Conversion Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

13. Resolution 8 – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares

13.1 General

The background to the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares is in Section 5 above.

Resolution 8(a) and (b) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

13.2 Listing Rules 7.1A and 7.4

A summary of Listing Rule 7.4 is set out in Section 6.2 above.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 29 November 2023.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A for the 12 month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 Accordingly, Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval to issue the Tranche 1 Placement Shares under and for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4

If Resolution 8(a) is not passed, 9,943,708 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 8(b) is passed, 9,943,708 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the approval of the Company’s additional 10% placement capacity which occurred on 29 November 2023.

If Resolution 8(b) is not passed, 9,943,708 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the approval of the Company’s additional 10% placement capacity which occurred on 29 November 2023.

Resolution 12(a), (b), (c) and (d) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 5,000,000 Director Placement Shares to the Participating Directors (or their respective nominees).

17.2 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 any of the following persons without the approval of its Shareholders:

  • (a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

The Participating Directors are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being directors of the Company. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

Page 33

3477-6011-4217, v. 22

Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11.

If this occurs, the Company will rely on funding obtained from the Placement and Entitlement Offer.

Resolution 12(a), (b), (c) and (d) are not conditional on each other, and Shareholders may approve one or all of those Resolutions (in which case, the Director Placement Shares the subject of the relevant Resolution(s) will be issued), even though Shareholders have not approved all of these Resolutions.

22.5 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:

  • (a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

Page 50

3477-6011-4217, v. 22

  • (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 proposed issue of the Director Appointment Options constitutes giving a financial benefit to a related party of the Company.

The Board (other than Mr Hadley) considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Appointment Options because the issue of the Director Appointment Options constitutes reasonable remuneration payable to Mr Hadley and therefore falls within the exception stipulated by section 211 of the Corporations Act.

22.6 Additional information

Resolution 17 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (except for Mr Hadley) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 17.

Dear Shareholder

Notice is hereby given that the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of MTM Critical Metals Limited (Company) will be held at Suite 2, 38 Colin Street, West Perth, 6005, on Thursday, 14[th] March 2023, at 10:30am (AWST).

The Board has made the decision that it will hold a physical meeting. In accordance with Part 1.2AA of the Corporation Act, Notice of General Meeting (Notice) including the Explanatory Statement will not be printed and despatched to Shareholders unless an election to this effect has been made.

Instead the Notice of Meeting and accompanying explanatory statement (Meeting Materials) are being made available to shareholders electronically. This means that:

  • You can access the Meeting Materials online at the announcements section of the Company’s website,

  • A complete copy of the Meeting Materials has been posted to the Company’s ASX Market announcements page at https://www2.asx.com.au/markets/company/mtm under the Company’s ASX code “MTM”, and

  • If you have provided an email address and have elected to receive electronic communications from the Company, you will receive an email to your nominated email address with a link to an electronic copy of the Meeting Materials.

Conversely, shareholders who receive their communications electronically will, as they have on previous occasions, receive an email from the Company’s share registry, Automic Group, with links directing them to this notice and the online voting portal:

https://investor.automic.com.au/#/loginsah

The Company further advises that voting on all resolutions will be conducted by a poll and encourages those shareholders who cannot attend the meeting to lodge their proxy forms no later than 48 hours before the meeting, being 10:30am (AWST) on Tuesday, 12[th] March 2024. Any proxy forms received after that time will not be valid for the meeting.

This ASX announcement has been authorised for release by the Company Secretary of MTM Critical Metals Limited.

SIMON ADAMS Company Secretary
