2. Resolution 1– Ratification of Prior issue of shares to KnightHawke Engineering
2.1 General
On 21 January 2026, the Company issued 657,245 Shares to KnightHawke Engineering Inc. ( KnightHawke ) in two tranches, 258,022 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.7118 (Tranche 1) and 399,223 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.9583 (Tranche 2), (together KHE Shares ). The KHE Shares were issued to KnightHawke in part consideration of fees for engineering services provided in relation to the Company’s Flash Joule Heating technology.
Tranche 1 comprised the issue of 258,022 KHE Shares in lieu of payment for a portion of fees for engineering services provided from February to June 2025. The shares were issued at a deemed issue price of $0.7118. Tranche 2 comprised the issue of 399,223 KHE Shares in lieu of payment for a portion of the fees for engineering services provided July to December 2025. The Shares were issued at a deemed issue price of $0.9583.
The Company issued the KHE Shares on 21 January 2026 without prior shareholder approval using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
9
Metallium Limited Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the KHE Shares.
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
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 KHE 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 Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the issue of the KHE 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 KHE Shares under and for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4.
2.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the KHE Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the KHE 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.
2.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the KHE Shares:
| Listing Rule Reference | Type of security |
|---|---|
| 7.5.1: The names of the persons to whom the entity issued or agreed to issue the securities or the basis upon which those persons were identified or selected |
KnightHawke Engineering Inc. KnightHawke is not a related party or Material Investor of the Company |
| 7.5.2: The number and class of securities the entity issued or agreed to issue. |
657,245 Shares were issued using the Company’s available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. |
| 7.5.3: If the securities are not fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the securities |
The KHE Shares are fully paid ordinary securities and rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue in the capital of the Company. |
10
Metallium Limited Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
| Listing Rule Reference | Type of security |
|---|---|
| 7.5.4: The date or dates on which the securities were or will be issued. |
The KHE Shares were issued on 21 January 2026. |
| 7.5.5: The price or other consideration the entity has received or will receive for the issue. |
The KHE Shares were issued for nil cash consideration. The non-cash consideration was the provision of engineering services by KHE to the Company during the periods February to June 2025 (Period One) and July to December 2025 (Period Two). The Company attributed a value of A$183,670 to the services for Period One and A$382,581 to the services for Period Two, satisfied by the issue of the KHE shares. This value was used to determine the number of shares by reference to the VWAP of USD0.48 for Period One and US$0.6462 for Period Two based on trading on the OTCQX for June and December 2025, resulting in a deemed issue price of A$0.7118 per Share for Period One and A$0.9583 for Period Two. |
| 7.5.6: The purpose of the issue, including the use or intended use of any funds raised by the issue. |
To satisfy the Company’s obligations to KnightHawke under an agreement to provide engineering services. |
| 7.5.7: If the securities were or will be issued under an agreement, a summary of any other material terms of the agreement. |
There are no other material terms to the agreement for the issue of the KHE Shares. |
| 7.5.8: A voting exclusion statement. | A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. |
2.5 Additional information
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
